Conflict?

"It's very weak."

Nino sat in front of Ren, nodding in agreement.

"Is this just a regular claw machine?" Itsuki asked hesitantly.

"It seems so. I don't know. I heard this rumor from someone else."

Ichika gave an unclear answer.

"I feel like it's just a rumor. 200 boxes are a bit too much..." Fumino complained, "How can someone catch the doll multiple times before actually winning it?"

"Maybe they're just foolish." Asumi sipped her drink, saying displeased, "Catching the doll repeatedly without knowing when to give up. It's just a waste of money."

For her, playing with the claw machine was a waste of money. If she had money to catch a doll, she'd better buy some training materials.

"It doesn't matter if it's a rumor. Besides, it's just a legend. Just interesting." Ichika casually said, her intention to liven up the atmosphere, whether the rumor was true or not was irrelevant.

"Indeed, very interesting." Fumino didn't deny it.

Some continued chatting briefly on this topic, then changed the subject and talked about something else.

Such things were just interesting stories to them, and no one cared about what was actually happening.

After seeing people chat enthusiastically, Yotsuba approached with her school bag and calmly asked, "Kamikawa-san, can you play with this?"

After saying this, Yotsuba opened her school bag, revealing a box with very simple packaging, with the words "Super Real Life Table Game" written on it.

"This?"

Seeing this box, Ren suddenly remembered something.

"This is a table game made by Fujiwara-san and the others. I hope we can help you try it and let them know how you feel." Yotsuba introduced.

This happened last week when she was walking with Ren, she met Chika, then agreed to help test the table game after it's ready.

Because she agreed, she couldn't easily back out, so she asked Ren.

"Okay." Ren also remembered this issue and agreed.

"Cough Cough."

Seeing him agree, Yotsuba coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her appearance, Ichika asked curiously.

Although the others didn't speak, the doubtful looks they gave Yotsuba said it all.

Facing their gaze, Yotsuba suppressed the nervousness in her heart, took out the game table from her school bag, placed it on the coffee table, and said loudly, "Do you want to play this table game!"

"A table game? What table game?!"

Hearing the words table game, Rizu immediately became interested.

"This."

Yotsuba pushed the game table in front of her so she could see it clearly.

"Super Real Life Table Game? Never heard of it." Looking at the game table in front of her, Rizu seemed very confused.

As a table game enthusiast, she surely knew all the common table games in the world, and she also knew a bit about some less popular table games.

"It was made by the table game club. They asked me to help test it." Yotsuba replied with a smile.

"Table game club..."

Rizu imagined that a club that didn't look like a table game club could produce table games.

"I said, Yotsuba, how do you know people from the table game club? I remember you usually don't play table games." Ichika asked curiously.

The twins occasionally played table games together at home, but they weren't too interested, especially Yotsuba, who couldn't take a whole day off.

Now she suddenly took out a box of table games produced by the Table Game Club. It's very suspicious.

Even just to help with the test, the condition for helping is to know each other. How could someone ask for help from someone they didn't know at all?

Especially before Yotsuba took out her game table, she went to Ren and said something, only showing her problem on her face.

"It's Fujiwara-san, she's in the same class as Kamikawa-san. Both of us helped her, so she gave us this table game to try as a thank you." Yotsuba quickly explained.

She hid the fact that she and Ren were walking together. She always felt a bit uncomfortable telling her.

"You and Kamikawa-san helped Fujiwara-san?" Ichika squinted her eyes, "In other words, just you and Kamikawa-san?"

She still knew Fujiwara Chika, who was in the same class as Ren, moreover, she was very famous.

But that's not the point; the point is what Yotsuba said earlier.

"We just happened to meet." Yotsuba panicked immediately.

She felt her lie was perfect, so why did Ichika still realize something was wrong?

"Coincidence? Not at all."

Ichika completely didn't believe her explanation.

"It's just a coincidence." Yotsuba said without tears.

It was just a coincidence that she met Ren that day.

"It's very suspicious. There must be something going on between you and Ren!"

Miku who hadn't spoken for a long time, involuntarily blamed Yotsuba now.

"Wait a minute, Ren?! Miku, what did you call Kamikawa-san?"

Itsuki who was still watching, realized something was wrong.

She and Ren were good friends. She even called him Kamikawa-san. Gabriel, who had a good relationship with him, only called him Kamikawa.

Now Miku called him Ren, what did this mean?

Hearing Itsuki's reminder, Fumino also reacted and was slightly surprised.

"Fumino, this is a very intimate title, isn't it?" Rizu raised her glasses.

"Yes." Fumino nodded.

It seemed she called Rizu Ricchan, and the other side called her Fumino.

"Miku, you..."

Ichika didn't know what to say.

"Something feels off." Nino sighed.

"Conflict?"

Seeing the scene in front of her, Asumi shook her head and commented in a low voice.

Fortunately, it had nothing to do with her; otherwise, she would have a headache.

Thinking like this, Asumi looked at Ren and found that he still looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him, and suddenly realized a possibility.

Could it be that Ren still didn't understand the situation now?

It seemed possible considering his character.

After careful consideration, Asumi came to this conclusion.

(Well, since you're my creditor, I'll help you a little.)

Taking a deep breath, Asumi thought about solution.
