Itsuki Can’t Resist Ren’s Kindness

"What's wrong?"

Ren noticed Itsuki's surprised tone and asked with confusion.

"It seems like we're not a couple..."

Itsuki asked shyly, lowering her head and looking at the floor.

According to her, Couples Milk Tea is as its name suggests, and buyers must be in a couple.

And it's clear that she and Ren are not a couple.

Could it be that he has thoughts about herself?

Thinking about this, Itsuki's face turned red, and the ahoge hair on her head swayed gently with her cheerful mood.

"Can't we buy couple milk tea if we're not a couple?" Ren asked.

When he and Nino went out to play before, they bought couple milk tea even though they weren't a couple. This time, he was just recalling the last experience.

"This..."

Itsuki didn't know how to answer this question, so she had to look at the staff who had just recommended the couple milk tea, hoping they could provide a suitable answer.

"There are no rules about this. In theory, single customers can also buy couple milk tea."

The staff found that the two customers in front of him were not a couple, as he initially assumed. After thinking for a moment, the staff gave a standard response with a smile.

As long as it can be sold, the name doesn't matter; it's not a forbidden item, just a cup of milk tea.

It's not bad to increase sales.

"Oh."

Itsuki accepted the arrangement mentioned by the staff but felt a bit disappointed in her heart.

It turns out she overthought it.

"In that case, I'd like..."

After sorting out her complicated emotions, she would order a cup of couple milk tea for herself.

"Again?"

Seeing her behavior, Ren was slightly surprised.

"What do you mean?"

Itsuki was stunned and blinked in confusion.

"I already ordered couple milk tea... sorry, I overthought it."

Ren suddenly realized and took the initiative to apologize for this.

Originally, he wanted to order a couple milk tea for himself and drink it with Itsuki. Moreover, the introduction by the staff earlier mentioned that it was very suitable for two people to drink together.

Therefore, he unconsciously thought that Itsuki didn't need to order again.

But he overlooked the fact that if Itsuki didn't want to drink couple milk tea with him, it could only be said that he didn't think it through.

"Do you mean we'll drink love and couple milk tea together?"

Itsuki's calm mood became chaotic again because of his words.

"Is that okay?" He asked.

After a few moments, Ren didn't get an answer from Itsuki. Just when he almost thought Itsuki had rejected him, Itsuki's voice, as thin as a mosquito's chirp, sounded.

"...Sure."

"Okay, one cup of couple milk tea, right?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, the staff immediately understood what was happening and went to confirm it.

This boy is a love master.

Playing hard to get is quite strong.

"Yes."

Ren nodded, took out his wallet, and paid the price listed on the menu.

"This is the blind box given to both of you. Please sit and wait for a moment. Making milk tea takes some time."

After collecting the money, the staff took out two small palm-sized boxes from somewhere and handed them over.

"Two?" Ren took it.

"Couple milk tea for two people."

In general, those who buy couple milk tea are couples, and the number of blind boxes given is also two.

"Um."

Itsuki's attention was not focused on the staff and the blind box at all. She answered casually, took box, and found a seat near the window with Ren.

"Kamikawa-kun, it seems like you're very interested in this blind box?"

To cover up her nervousness, Itsuki just found a topic to chat with him once she sat down.

"Well, I've never seen a blind box before."

Ren looked at the small box in his hand and answered honestly.

"Blind boxes have become popular recently."

Itsuki didn't understand this aspect, but to continue the topic and make the atmosphere not too awkward, she could only answer vaguely.

"That's it."

Ren suddenly understood why he had never seen something like this before.

"By the way, do you want to give me your blind box?"

Itsuki wasn't interested in the blind box. If he liked it, it wouldn't be impossible to give her own.

"No, one is enough." Akira Kamikawa declined.

He just wanted to see what a blind box was, and it was pointless to ask for so many.

"Um."

"Can I unpack this blind box?"

Seeing various cat shapes depicted on the box that could be obtained by opening it, as well as specially marked hidden items, Ren thought for a moment and understood the gameplay of this blind box.

He still knew something like this.

After receiving confirmation, Ren started to open the blind box.

The blind box packaging wasn't complicated; when opened, there was a slightly blurry packing bag inside.

He also tore open the packaging bag, and a white sleeping kitten appeared in front of him.

Judging from its appearance, this kitten is quite cute.

It's worth money.

Not a hidden item.

Ren, who had just read the packaging, judged it easily.

"So cute."

Even Itsuki, who was not interested in the blind box, gave a good review to this cute kitten.

"Let me see what this is."

As she spoke, Itsuki opened her blind box.

Different from Ren, the kitten in her blind box is a solid black kitten with a small dried fish in its mouth, seemingly looking for a place to lie down and enjoy the dried fish.

It's also not a hidden item.

"I think not as cute as your kitten."

After carefully observing the kitten figurine in her hand, Itsuki said casually.

And she always felt that the little kitten preparing to eat the dried fish was hinting at her.

"Take it."

"This?"

Unconsciously lifting her head, Itsuki saw the white sleeping kitten appear in front of her.

"This is for you." Ren said gently.

"No." Itsuki refused. "If I accept it, you won't have anything."

"But don't you think this kitten is cute?"

Ren pointed to the figurine of the sleeping white kitten and added, "I don't like this kitten too much."

"In that case... Let's exchange."

After hesitating, Itsuki made a suggestion.

She naturally knew that Ren deliberately said he didn't like it and only wanted to give the figure of that kitten to her.

She couldn't resist this kindness.

In other words, as long as it was his kindness, she couldn't refuse it.
