Fake Couple!

"What does it mean?" Ren didn't understand what the other party was saying.

"It means my dad completely thinks we're a couple." Asumi recounted her efforts from yesterday afternoon.

"But since when did we become a couple?" Ren asked, puzzled.

"My dad misunderstood our relationship. Besides, we were wearing matching clothes and bracelets at the time, but that could easily be misunderstood as a couple."

"But for the time being, I couldn't explain it clearly to him, so I just admitted it."

On this matter, Asumi was also powerless.

As fluent as she was, she couldn't explain it clearly to her father who already had a preconceived impression.

Moreover, there was no way to explain such a thing.

"So, wouldn't it be better if I explained it clearly to your father?"

Since he had been misunderstood by Kirisu Miharu as Kirisu Mafuyu's boyfriend before, Ren planned to explain it clearly like last time.

"How would you explain it? I can't even explain it."

Asumi didn't believe that Ren's persuasive ability could surpass hers.

Before Ren spoke, he still thought for a while.

Combined with his blunt nature, there was no way to explain it.

"Just tell him the truth." Ren said without beating around the bush.

"No, please don't do that."

Asumi rejected the proposal without hesitation.

She took the initiative to wear couple outfits and bracelets, gave him ice cream, and indirect kisses.

If her father found out, she would basically be dead.

Precisely because of this condition, she preferred to admit that they were a couple.

Compared to honesty, saying that they were lovers was not a trivial matter.

"What should we do? Don't we need to explain it clearly?"

Moreover, Ren really couldn't think of any other way to explain it clearly.

He wasn't too confident in his speaking abilities.

"No, my dad already thinks we're a couple. We just need to admit it and pretend to be a fake couple."

Asumi had thought of a solution to this problem.

"I don't quite understand."

This was beyond Ren's comprehension.

"It means we pretend to be a couple in front of my dad, but at other times, we still maintain our relationship as senior and junior." Asumi explained, "You're still single and can still find a girlfriend."

"Just in front of your dad?"

Ren confirmed this.

"Yes, at other times, we can still be the same as before." Asumi smiled and added, "Of course, if you want to tell others that I'm your girlfriend, that's fine. I'll cooperate with you."

"Hmmm…"

Ren hesitated.

"Please, Kouhai-kun, help me."

Seeing this, Asumi placed both of her hands on her chest and said very sincerely.

"...Okay."

After careful consideration, Ren agreed.

Although what he asked sounded a bit strange, upon further thought, it was actually quite simple and wouldn't affect him much.

He just wanted to pretend to be a couple with Asumi in front of her father, and that wouldn't cause him any trouble at other times.

Moreover, he and Soujiro didn't meet very often at all, so the amount of time he needed to pretend could be considered very little.

As for telling others that Asumi was his girlfriend.

There was no possibility of using it at all.

"Thank you, Kouhai-kun." Asumi expressed her gratitude, then continued a little shyly, "Um... Kouhai-kun, when are you free lately? My dad wants you to visit our house again."

It was for this reason that she wanted Ren and herself to pretend to be a couple.

"As a guest?"

"Yes, but this time you'll go as my boyfriend." Asumi tilted her head to the side, "My dad is very curious about you."

"Pretend to be a couple, right?" Ren confirmed with her.

"Yes."

Asumi nodded hurriedly.

"I'm free the day after tomorrow."

This evening was when he and Miku made plans to meet, and Miku would give him a gift.

"Okay, then you can come to my house directly the day after tomorrow morning, and I won't come looking for you." Asumi replied hastily.

"Um."

It felt good to be able to help Asumi.

"Let's rehearse your confession now, so my dad won't ask you and your answer differs from mine."

Asumi realized this issue and kept asking.

"Of course." Ren agreed.

He had long experienced the problem of giving confessions, so he naturally knew what it meant.

"Let me tell you, remember the arrangement I told my dad yesterday afternoon."

After trying hard to remember it, Asumi began to repeat it.

"We've been in a relationship for three months. I took the initiative to pursue you, and we've kissed."

"Kissed?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that?"

Asumi looked at him with concern and asked.

Ren whispered, "I've never been kissed before."

"I've never kissed either!" Asumi complained, "I said it was a trap, but that's not true. I just told my dad."

If she didn't know that Ren was basically clueless, she would definitely tease him and say something like "Should we try kissing now" or something like that.

But now that she knew, it was better to avoid such things.

The important thing was that Ren fully agreed.

"Oh."

"Why didn't you refute when I said I pursued you?"

Asumi narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously.

The reason she told her father this was because she needed Ren's help. In this case, it was too shameless to say that Ren pursued her.

"Because I won't pursue anyone else." Ren said without beating around the bush.

"That's an undeniable reason." Asumi stared at his face without glasses for a moment. She said in agreement, "Besides, with your appearance, you don't need to pursue women."

Ren didn't answer her question, but only wrote down the arrangement she had just mentioned.

After taking a deep breath, Asumi continued, "We've been together for a long time, and we've fallen in love as time went on. I took the initiative to confess my love to you. The place where I confessed my love was in the park at night."

"This is the setting I told my dad yesterday afternoon, do you remember it?"
