Miku: Can you return it to me?

Saturday, 10 am.

Ren left the house and started walking today.

Because he played a game with Gabriel last night, he woke up later than before today.

But this does not affect his plan.

Go for a walk, borrow a book, then go home, this is what he will do today.

Borrowing books was something he did while walking around.

Because as long as he activates [Luck Max], he can find the library wherever he goes, and there is no need to go out to find it.

It's just that that doesn't stop him from wandering around, so borrowing books becomes a normal thing.

After all, he just played a game with Gabriel last night and didn't use [Luck Max].

··········

At the same time, the Nakano family.

"Miku, I asked you to look after your house today."

Itsuki glanced at the time, gave instructions to Miku who was sitting on the sofa, and hurriedly changed her shoes and prepared to go out.

"I will."

Miku curled up on the sofa, watched TV, and answered.

"Then I'll go first."

After saying that, Itsuki opened the door and went out.

"Um."

Click-

With a soft sound, the door was closed, and the room was quiet again, except for the sound of the TV which was still ringing.

Taking the remote control and turning off the TV, Miku got up and walked upstairs.

Today was another day when she was alone at home.

Ichika goes to work, Nino and Itsuki go to play with their friends, and Yotsuba goes to help out at the school's athletic club.

Everyone has their own business, only she stays at home.

However, she doesn't hate housekeeping.

Because being alone at home has her advantages, for example when playing games, she doesn't have to worry about her other sisters suddenly coming looking for her.

Back in her room, Miku finds a game, puts on her headphones, and starts playing.

This game is her favorite Sengoku type game, so she likes to play it.

Soon, time passed minute by minute as she became addicted to the game.

"It is over."

Seeing the final screen displayed in the game, Miku took off her headphones and let out a soft sigh.

She had been playing this game for almost a month, and now she had finally finished it.

After standing up and moving her body a little, Miku picked up her cellphone and sat on the bed.

After playing the game you still need to rest.

"It was 3 pm before I knew it."

After looking at the time displayed on her phone, Miku scrolled through her phone aimlessly.

"What should I do..."

The game she was playing was over, which left her in a dilemma because she didn't know what to do.

"Hah? May I borrow the book 'Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period' in the library?"

After a while, Miku widened her eyes as she looked at the content displayed on the phone.

Because she often browses content related to the Warring States Period, some software will often provide content related to the Warring States Period to her.

Just like the Warring States book recommendation she was reading now, the book was automatically pushed by the software, and also came with an address where she could borrow it.

She had read most of the books about the Warring States Period.

Among them, the 'Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period' is of course not included.

The main contents of this book are the interesting stories and secrets of several famous generals of the Warring States Period.

However, Miku doesn't know why there is so little circulation of this book, which is why she always wants to read the book but can never afford to buy it.

Now that she knew there was a chance to see it, she naturally wouldn't miss it.

After changing clothes, Miku left the house and headed for the library mentioned in the article.

··········

On the other hand, Ren had activated [Luck Max] and continued walking aimlessly on the street.

With [Luck Max], now he could reach the library no matter how he walked.

No need to worry about the embarrassing situation of not being able to find the library.

After walking for a few minutes, a library appeared not far in front of Ren.

However, this library looks older.

Ren didn't care about this.

As long as he could borrow books, it didn't matter how old the library was.

Entering the library, Ren didn't turn off his superpower, but kept it on.

Because it will be used later, there is no need to close it.

When he came to the library card processing office, he had just passed by and the long pink haired girl standing in front of him had just finished her application and left.

Looking at her leaving figure, Ren felt a little familiar.

He seemed to remember that she was one of Itsuki's sisters. Itsuki had told them about it, but Ren didn't take it to heart.

After taking a glance, Ren withdrew his gaze.

He had no interest in Itsuki's sisters, he only looked at them if they looked familiar.

The process of obtaining a library card is not complicated, it only takes a little time to successfully get the library card.

With his library card, he can borrow a maximum of three books.

Since he finally came here, he planned to borrow all three books at once.

The superpower [Perception] was activated, and the target was the library's entire book collection.

In an instant, he knew the information about every book here.

After skimming through the book information in his mind and confirming that there were no books he wanted to read, he decided to leave the choice to his own luck and intuition.

With [Luck Max's] blessing, his intuition could be said to be the gospel for patients facing difficult choices.

As long as Ren chooses according to his intuition, he doesn't have to worry about making mistakes, and every choice he makes will be useful to him.

As for what use it had, he wasn't sure, however, it definitely wouldn't do any harm to himself.

Follow his intuition, walk straight ahead, then turn left, stop between two rows of bookshelves, and pull the book in front of him.

"World history?"

Ren looked at the book in his hand and felt pretty good.

This book can make him understand world history. This way, even if someone asked him some basic knowledge of world history, he would not be in the embarrassing situation of being unable to answer.

Following his intuition again, Ren took out another book.

"Japanese history?"

He was just as happy with the book.

At least it can provide an overview of the history of the country's development.

But both were history books which always made him feel strange.

But when he thought that this was his intuitive choice, he relaxed.

His intuition and luck would never deceive him, since he chose these books, it meant that he would definitely use them in the future, so there was no need to worry at all.

He now had the final selection of books, and his intuition reminded him that he was heading to a more remote corner.

"It must be a very important book."

This was the first time Ren felt his intuition urging him, and it made him wonder what his final book would be like.

And the other side.

"Not here either."

Miku carefully examined her row of bookshelves and let out a frustrated sigh.

After she saw the encouragement, she immediately came to the library which was said to contain the 'Collection of Anecdotes of the Warring States Period'.

However, the notification did not tell her the specific location of the book, and the library seemed to be too old and not equipped with a machine to search for books, so she could only read it in rows in the Warring States area.

Luckily, she found another Warring States themed book here that she thought was good. Even if she couldn't find the 'Collection of Anecdotes of the Warring States Period', it would not be a loss for her to come here.

Unfortunately, she could only borrow three books at most.

Miku's goal in applying for a library card is to find out how many books she can borrow at most at one time.

She took her cell phone out of her pocket and checked the time. She had to go home before her sister did, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

"The phone is out of power."

Just when Miku was about to turn off the phone screen, a battery reminder appeared.

When she came, she came here according to her navigation. Now the phone is out of battery, that's normal.

"Find it quickly and come back quickly."

Miku put her phone away and continued searching.

Turning around, she was about to check them one by one when she suddenly found the 'Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period' on top of the bookshelf.

Miku looked happy and reached out to take it.

However, she exaggerates her height.

She was only 1.59 meters tall, so even if she stood on tiptoe, she was still a certain distance from the one on top of the bookshelf.

"…"

After trying again and again, and after confirming that she couldn't achieve it directly, Miku had to give up the idea and decided to think of another way to get the book.

Soon, she remembered something.

She remembers seeing a small staircase on her way home from applying for a library card.

It is specially designed for those who cannot reach the book.

For example, her.

So, Miku walked towards the small stairs in her memory.

To prevent someone from borrowing books while she was climbing the stairs, she quickened her pace.

"Here?"

At the same time Miku left here, Ren's figure appeared here.

"As expected, the last book is also a history book."

Looking at the bookshelf filled with books about history, Ren couldn't help but sigh.

"Then which one?"

He continued to follow his intuition, stopped in the middle, looked up, and then he found a book that reminded him of his intuition.

"A Collection of Anecdotes of the Warring States Period? History of the Warring States Period?"

Ren took the book out of the bookshelf and looked at the title.

He really couldn't imagine what influence this book would have on him.

If he just wanted to understand the history of this country, Japanese History would be enough.

It shouldn't have taken him much effort to understand this period of history.

However, since this book was a book that his intuition reminded him that he should take, Ren would definitely not put it down.

He believes in luck and his intuition.

After choosing three books, Ren was ready to leave here with these books.

This time, on the other side of the bookshelf, Miku came up with a small ladder, and then saw a man standing where she was now.

This gave her a bad feeling.

Going down the small stairs, she walked quickly towards Ren, and looked at the place where the 'Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period' was placed, only to find that the place was empty.

"This..."

Miku thought of a possibility and quickly looked at Ren's hand, only to see the 'Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period' in his hand, placed together with two other books.

And apparently, he was going to borrow it.

Miku felt a little bad when she thought about this possibility.

she had just searched for a long time before she found the 'Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period' here. In other words, it may be the only one in the entire library.

If she borrows it now, Miku doesn't know how long it will take to get it back.

Although she also found other books about the Warring States Period in the library today, she came here only for this book.

It's okay if he doesn't find it. Now she finally found it. She couldn't miss it at all.

With this in mind, Miku raised her head slightly, looked at the man in front of her through her bangs, nervously pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, organized her words, and said:

"Um... I found the 'Collection of Anecdotes of the Warring States Period' in your hands first... And planned to borrow it, but I couldn't reach it, so I went to take the stairs, and you took the book away when I went to there. So... Can you return this book to me?"

After saying that, Miku lowered her head in shame.

She had clearly thought about what she wanted to say, but when she actually said it, she couldn't express her original meaning at all, and her words made no sense.

Sure enough, she was still not good at talking to people.

In fact, if it weren't for her love of 'Anecdotes of the Warring States Period', she would never talk to the man in front of her.

"Oh."

Ren nodded and continued to wait for what Miku would say next.

He still didn't understand what Itsuki's sister said just now.

That probably means he found this book first and hopes he can return it to her.

After this period of learning, Ren was still able to understand the meaning of some of the more difficult words.

However, even though Miku said this, Ren still didn't have the idea to return the book to her.

If he found it first and had to return it, then when he used the superpower [Perception] just now, he knew the information about all the books in the library.

Should he ask someone else before borrowing a book?

After all, he was the one who saw the book first.

This should not happen in human society.

Therefore, his argument makes no sense at all.

According to him, as long as the book is still on the bookshelf, it can be borrowed.

Besides, his instincts told him that he should take this book. How could Ren return it to her for irrelevant reasons?

Therefore, no matter what he said, he would not return it to her.
