Miku’s Small Revenge

"You're so diligent; there are still people reading in the library during summer vacation."

Entering the library, Miku exclaimed in amazement.

For a former mediocre student like her, she had never come to the library to study.

"Really."

As his eyes swept over the people, Ren didn't have any particular thoughts.

After all, when he was tutoring Fumino and the three of them, he often came to the library.

"Then let's read here for a while."

Miku lowered her voice and suggested.

"Sure."

Anyway, his goal this afternoon was to accompany Miku.

"In that case, let's return the books quickly."

Seeing him agree, Miku looked very happy.

Reading was a very time-consuming activity, which meant they could spend a long time together this afternoon.

"Let's go."

The book return process was not complicated, and since it was summer vacation, there were almost no lines to borrow or return books, so Miku quickly returned the books she had borrowed long ago.

"Luckily, the book return deadline hasn't passed. I can't return books this late next time."

Putting away her library card, Miku said happily.

"Just finish it as soon as possible." Ren agreed.

"The main reason is I don't have enough time and there are too many things to do every day."

As she led him to the Warring States Period historical area, Miku talked about her daily life.

"What do you usually do?" Ren asked curiously.

Even though his life was very busy, he didn't even have time to read.

Miku answered somewhat embarrassedly, "I study cooking and play games."

It was strange that she still didn't have much time to read even though she did very little every day.

"So, how do you study cooking?"

Ren was very concerned about her cooking progress.

"My progress is slow, or there's no progress at all."

Talking about this, Miku's mood dropped.

She really had no talent for cooking and relied entirely on her experience to be able to cook a dish.

"It's okay, just keep working hard." Ren encouraged, "Even if the progress is slow, as long as there is progress."

"Um, I'll keep working hard!"

Miku clenched her fists and swung them vigorously in the air a few times.

"Should we borrow some books about the Warring States Period?"

After finishing the previous topic, Ren asked this.

Especially since the route they took was very familiar.

"Yes." Miku nodded, then continued, "What book are you going to borrow, Ren?"

"I'm not borrowing any books."

Ren came just to accompany Miku.

"Then what book do you want to read later?" Miku asked differently.

"I'm not sure, just pick one."

Ren said casually.

"Do you need me to recommend it to you?" Miku immediately got an idea, "I know a lot of interesting Warring States Period history books. Last time I came to the library, I saw them all here."

"I've read most of the books on the Warring States Period."

To chat with Miku about the Warring States Period history, Ren used his superpower to read all the Warring States Period history books in the library.

Therefore, he didn't think Miku could recommend him Warring States Period history books he hadn't read.

"That's true, then you should make your own choice."

Because he knew a lot about the Warring States Period history, he must have read many books, and she really didn't need to recommend him.

"Let's look separately. Once you've made your choice, come to me. I'll wait for you here."

Arriving at the Warring States Period history area, Miku hesitated for a moment.

Because they would read together later, the most efficient choice was to choose the book they wanted to read separately.

"Sure."

Ren didn't mind, so he chose a direction and walked closer.

Miku slowly picked items in the Warring States Period history area.

"What should I choose?"

Looking at the various books on the bookshelf, it made him hesitate.

Even though he didn't care what kind of book he read, he still hoped to find an interesting or useful book to read.

"The Art Club..."

After wandering aimlessly in the library for a long time, Ren suddenly remembered the club mentioned by Yotsuba earlier.

"The Art Club should be for painting."

With this thought, he walked to the painting area.

He decided to read books related to painting later.

Since he didn't know what he wanted to see, he might as well learn to draw.

Then why didn't he choose to read books related to basketball?

Playing sports like basketball didn't require reading and learning, right?

Although he was very good at painting and could draw perfectly at a glance, it was all thanks to his own talent.

Except for the time spent in art class, he never learned systematically.

If he learned a little now, when people asked why he was so good at painting, he would have a reason to explain.

"[Simple Drawing for Kindergarten], [Introduction to Drawing for Beginners]..."

After randomly choosing a few books that he thought beginners should read, Ren left the painting area and returned to the Warring States Period history area.

"Have you chosen yet?"

Finding Miku, Ren saw her still in front of the bookshelf, looking like she was carefully choosing a book.

"The choice has been made."

After hearing his voice, Miku turned around and spoke softly.

"What about your book?"

Seeing her empty hands, Ren asked curiously.

"It's up there, but I can't reach it." Pointing to a book on the top shelf, Miku chuckled and asked him, "Could you get it down for me, Ren?"

"Sure."

Ren reached out and took the book Miku had chosen and handed it to her.

"For you."

"Thank you."

Taking the book from his hand, Miku expressed her gratitude.

"By the way, last time I came to the library, maybe that was the book I helped get."

Ren recalled this incident.

"Yes, you're the one who helped me get that book last time." Miku felt nostalgic.

"What a coincidence. Every time the book you want to read is placed high."

"It's not a coincidence, I did it on purpose."

Miku refuted this statement.

"On purpose?"

Ren didn't expect her answer at all.

"Yes, because the first time we met, it was because I couldn't reach the high books in the library. When I took the small ladder, you took it."

Until now, Miku still remembered that incident.

"So, I asked you to continue helping me bring the high-placed books. This is revenge."
