Indirect Kiss

"Eh?!"

Hearing Ren's unexpected words, Fumino who was still drinking water, suddenly froze.

She glanced at the water glass which was still full on the table, then at the water glass in her hand which was half empty, she was sure that she had accidentally taken the wrong glass.

Since she had just taken a few sips, if this cup was her, it would be impossible for there to be only a little left.

After confirming that she had taken the wrong cup, Fumino immediately felt her face burning hot, accompanied by the embarrassment of not knowing what to do.

After all, this was an indirect kiss!

Compared to this, the hand-holding incident that just happened was nothing.

It really resolved the previous embarrassment perfectly.

"That... The cup is returned to you."

After her brain went dead for a moment, Fumino handed him the cup in her hand.

She didn't know what to do now. In short, this cup cannot be here with her.

"Okay."

Taking the water glass, Ren drank it as usual.

After taking a sip, he found there wasn't much water left in the cup, so he drank it all.

"Wait a minute, have you drunk all the water?"

Seeing him drink all the water in the cup, Fumino finally reacted.

The purpose of returning the cup to Ren was not to let him drink it!

"Um."

Ren didn't really understand that Fumino's reaction would be so big.

Didn't he just drink all the water in his glass?

"In this case, we indirectly..."

At this time, Fumino couldn't say anything else.

She couldn't say anything about the indirect kiss.

"?"

Ren looked at her confusedly, waiting for her to finish.

He was not good at guessing what others would say next.

"I'm sorry."

In the end, Fumino apologized again, then stood up and ran out of the room.

Of course, before leaving, she also took away the cup that had gotten her into such trouble.

And Ren still doesn't understand what happened. Why did Fumino suddenly take the cup?

He didn't quite understand.

After thinking for a while, he really couldn't figure it out, so he gave up and continued doing homework.

After a long time, Fumino came in again while still holding the water glass in her hand.

Only this time the cup wasn't filled with water but orange juice.

"Sorry, I forgot there was still juice at home."

Therefore, Fumino placed the cup next to Ren.

"It doesn't matter. Thank you," Ren thanked her in a low voice.

"You're welcome."

Fumino sat down next to him again, then moved the water glass to the side.

In fact, because she wanted to lose weight, she hadn't bought juice at home for a long time, instead the glass of juice she poured for Ren was something she ran to the convenience store to buy.

Just to prevent this incident from happening again.

(The problem is solved, don't think about it anymore and concentrate on working on the question)

After sitting back down, Fumino took a pen and tried to restrain herself from remembering the embarrassing incident.

But the more this happened, the more she couldn't help but think about it, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Ren's lips.

(Speaking of which, even if I kissed Kamikawa-san indirectly, I wouldn't be considered a loss, right?)

Recalling vaguely that she saw Ren's true appearance in the past, Fumino suddenly came up with such an idea.

But she soon realized that there was a big problem with her idea and immediately threw this strange idea out of her mind.

Not even Ren.

After pinching her thigh hard to force herself back to reality, Fumino continued reading the question.

(Hisss... Hurts)

But the pinch was too hard, so she had to slow it down.

Of course, this series of actions caught Ren's attention and opened his eyes.

Can humans be so cruel to themselves?

So fabulous.

.....

It was noon in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Ren had finished his homework and was reading "A Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period"

He tells Miku that he wants to read the book during this holiday, so he plans to use the time during study meetings to read.

Fumino was still doing her homework, difficulties in mathematics made her unable to think carelessly, and her mind was filled with various formulas.

*Ding dong—*

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Vigne-san should be here, I'll open the door."

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Fumino hurriedly stood up and immediately ran downstairs.

"Yes," Ren answered softly.

After a while, he heard their footsteps and voices approaching.

"Forgive me. I accidentally fell asleep and didn't see the message you sent."

This slightly apologetic voice came from Itsuki.

"It's okay, I'm just asking, don't take it to heart," Fumino's voice was heard.

"By the way, has Kamikawa arrived?" This is Vigne's voice.

"Kamikawa-san came here this morning and is in my room now."

"Did he come this early? If I had known, I would have set an alarm clock."

"It doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer. Besides, it's a holiday now."

As the footsteps and voices grew louder, Fumino, Itsuki, and Vigne also entered.

"Good afternoon, Kamikawa-san."

"Kamikawa, good afternoon."

After seeing Ren sitting at the table, Vigne and Itsuki greeted him.

"Good afternoon."

Ren raised his head and responded to them.

"You can sit wherever you like and I'll make you a drink."

After saying these words, Fumino left the room.

"Is Furuhashi-san doing her math homework?"

After finding a random place and putting down the school bag, Itsuki noticed the exercise books and scribbled paper placed on the table by Fumino.

"Yes," Ren answered.

Fumino had been doing her math homework all morning, but even so, she still hadn't finished it.

"I've finished my math homework. Kamikawa-san, can you check it for me?"

That's why Itsuki felt a little proud.

Even though yesterday it took a full day to complete, it was finally finished.

"Okay." Ren didn't refuse.

Hearing this, Itsuki took out her math homework from school bag.

After doing the homework, Ren flipped through and found the place where the homework was given, then he took a pencil and started correcting.
