Meeting Ogata Rizu

Saturday, early morning.

Ren rarely wakes up in his own house.

In the past few days, he went to Gabriel's house to play games every day, because of the influence of luck, he accidentally slept with her every time.

Now he returned to his own house to sleep, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Get up slowly, get dressed, and shower.

Sitting at the dining table, Ren was having breakfast and thinking about today's plans.

Maybe it's because he's been in prison for ten years, so he doesn't really like staying at home and prefers going for walks.

After breakfast, he put on a set of ordinary clothes, put on sunglasses that made his appearance ordinary, and walked out of the house.

He really liked the glasses Gabriel chose for him, so he saved himself a lot of trouble.

Because before he had these glasses, Ren always got side glances from women and hatred from men when he walked on the street.

At that time, he didn't really understand why men looked at him strangely.

If he think about it, it turns out it was because of his extraordinary appearance.

But now that he wears these glasses, he will no longer experience that strange treatment.

Amazing experience.

Walking on the streets and following the crowd along the way, Ren felt very comfortable.

No one paid attention to him, and no one cared about him.

This made him feel like an ordinary person.

Of course Ren still knows himself.

He knew that his abilities had not reached that level.

But compared to a week ago, he has made a lot of progress.

At least he could now communicate with others to some extent.

This is all thanks to Gabriel, Vigne, and Itsuki.

Without them, Ren might still be able to do nothing but respond.

Although now it's not much better.

He didn't do anything when he went out, he just wanted to walk around and feel what it was like to be an ordinary person.

Therefore, he continued walking along the path, wherever he went.

Because he has superpowers, he doesn't worry about getting lost.

Even if he gets lost, he can use superpowers like [Teleport] to go straight home.

Without realizing it, it had already arrived at noon while he was wandering around.

(It's almost 1 pm now and it's time to find a place to eat lunch.)

After looking at the time, Ren had an idea.

He planned to continue walking around in the afternoon, so he didn't need to go home, he could just find a place outside to have lunch.

Even though as a person with superpowers, he had little need for food, those ten years in prison still allowed him to develop the good habit of eating three times a day.

(Ogata Udon?)

Found an udon shop nearby and Ren walked in.

"Welcome."

As soon as Ren entered, he saw a short girl wearing blue shop clothes and glasses.

Ogata Rizu.

Ren knew this girl's name because he was in the same class as her.

By the time he introduced himself on the first day of school, he had already memorized everyone in the class.

"Is that Kamikawa-san?"

At this moment, Rizu spoke, and she recognized the man in front of her.

It was the man Fumino said yesterday afternoon that he was very good at teaching.

"Yes." Ren nodded.

He wasn't surprised that Rizu recognized him.

After all, he was just an ordinary person, and it was normal for classmates to know him.

"So what are you going to eat?"

Taking him to the dining table and sitting down, Rizu asked.

"A bowl of grilled pork udon."

After looking at the menu, Ren quickly chose what he wanted to eat for lunch.

"Please wait."

After taking notes, Rizu left here and didn't say much because Ren was her classmate.

Ren thinks this is very good.

It happens that he doesn't know how to talk to classmates he doesn't know.

Before the udon he ordered arrived, Ren scanned his surroundings.

Maybe because the meal wasn't finished yet, the tables at the udon shop were still occupied.

He was lucky enough to occupy the last table.

However, the location is not good, a bit too close to the udon shop entrance.

He prefers a central position, where he does not stand out.

After taking a glance at the surrounding environment, Ren withdrew his gaze and began to hesitate about what he should do all this time.

He remembered ordinary people seemed to be playing with their phones during this time.

So to be like an ordinary person, he also has to play with his cellphone.

As soon as he took out his cell phone, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Ogata-san, I'm here to look for you!"

Ren looked at it curiously and found that he also knew that person.

Fujiwara Chika.

Maybe it was the weekend, so Chika didn't wear a school uniform, but rather sportswear and a ponytail, which was very different from her image at school.

The only thing that didn't change was the pitch black ribbon on her bangs.

After confirming who had come, Ren stopped looking.

Chika had nothing to do with him.

"Sorry Fujiwara-san, there are no seats available. Can you wait a moment?" Rizu's voice was heard.

It was a bad place to sit near the door, even though Ren didn't want to hear it, the sound came towards him uncontrollably.

"No problem, I have plenty of time."

This time the voice came from Chika.

"Hah?"

Chika was surprised, as if she had discovered something, then she heard footsteps walking towards Ren.

"I was right, it was Kamikawa-kun."

Chika walked diagonally in front of Ren, making sure she recognized the right person, and clapped her hands happily.

Since she met Ren by chance last time, Chika remembered his name and appearance again.

This is how she recognized Ren.

Rizu stood behind her, still expressionless.

"Um."

Ren put down the cellphone and looked at Chika.

"Is Kamikawa-kun alone?"

Chika looked around Ren and made sure.

"Yes."

"Then can we sit together?" Chika asked, "All the other seats are taken."

"Okay," Ren agreed.

This could also be considered helping a classmate.

"Thank You."

After saying that, Chika pulled a chair in front of Ren and sat down.

"You're welcome."

Seeing Chika sitting down, Ren was ready to continue playing with his cellphone.

"Ogata-san, I want grilled udon."

Chika looked at the menu and immediately finished her order.

"Understand."

Even though these two people were both classmates, Rizu still didn't mean to say much and continued doing her work.

"I really didn't expect to meet Kamikawa-kun here."

After ordering, Chika turned her attention to Ren.

"Um."

Ren also didn't expect to meet Chika and Rizu here.

Chika blinked and asked curiously: "Did Kamikawa-kun come to Ogata-san like me?"

"No."

It was just a coincidence that he came here.

"Is it true?" Chika continued to ask, "Then Kamikawa-kun, do you want to join the TG club?"

Chika still doesn't give up on letting Ren join the club.

"TG Club?"

Ren remembers the last club Chika invited to join wasn't a table game club?

How can it become a TG club?

Due to his little social experience, Ren didn't know that the full name of TG club was table game club, which was the abbreviation of the English version of table game club.

"Yeah, do you want to join?" Chika asked with a smile.

"No."

Ren had already given up the idea of joining a club.

So no matter how Chika invited him, Ren would never accept.

Even this strange sounding TG club is the same.

"Okay."

Chika felt a little disappointed, she thought she could use the abbreviation of the TG club to trick Ren.

She didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.

However, it doesn't matter.

The purpose of her coming here today was to invite Rizu to join the table game club, and Ren was just a regular visitor.

If she can invite, just invite, if she can't, no problem.

As long as Rizu can be included.

Thinking about this, Chika felt much happier.

Not long after, the two of them enjoyed roast pork udon delivered by Rizu.

Placing the udon in front of them, Rizu prepared to leave.

This time, Chika stopped her: "Ogata-san, can we chat for a while when you're not busy?"

"Sure," Rizu agreed easily.

Chika showed a bright smile.

She could already see Rizu's future joining the table game club at this time.

While they were chatting, Ren also started preparing the bowl of udon noodles in front of him.

He lowered his head subconsciously, but the lenses of his glasses were suddenly covered by the heat of the udon noodles, and a layer of mist formed, blocking his vision.

"…"

Seeing this, Ren didn't know what to do.

To be honest, this was his first time encountering this situation.

It wasn't that he had never eaten udon before, but this was his first time wearing glasses.

He doesn't wear glasses at home, after all, he is the only person at home, it doesn't matter if he wears glasses or not.

And at noon at school, lunch is finished by eating bread.

Of course this will not happen.

So, what should he do now?

Is it possible to use superpowers?

No, he can't use superpowers. Ordinary people would never use superpowers when faced with a situation like this.

Ren has to find a way that doesn't involve superpowers.

After thinking for a long time, Ren finally made a decision.

It seems that he can only take off the glasses.

Even though he didn't really want to do it, there was no way he could eat udon while wearing glasses.

At least he couldn't, the feeling of blocking his vision made him feel very uncomfortable.

But the problem was, once he took off the glasses, his true appearance would be revealed.

Therefore, Ren had to be careful not to be discovered by others.

For safety reasons, Ren lowered his head, slowly took off his glasses, and carefully placed them on the side of the table.

Now he doesn't have to worry about his glasses being fogged up.

However, to prevent Chika from seeing his extraordinary appearance, Ren kept his head down and started eating udon.

Of course, Chika, who was sitting across from him, noticed this unusual behavior.

After all, it was hard not to notice his strange movements.

"Hah?"

Chika didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she just saw Ren's eyes.

It seems rather good.

Is it because he took off his glasses?

Chika looked at the glasses Ren kept and made guesses in her mind.

After watching for a moment, Chika stopped thinking about it.

She came to see Rizu today. What does she care about Ren?

So Chika picked up her chopsticks and pointed them at the udon bowl in front of her.

Although she really likes eating ramen, it's also a good idea to change her taste and eat udon noodles occasionally.

After a while, Rizu came and said calmly: "There are not many guests now, I can rest."

"Very good."

Chika gave up her seat and sat in the chair next to her.

Rizu sat down where she had been.

In this way, the person sitting opposite Ren became Rizu.

Ren continued eating without caring about them.

He felt that his eating speed was a little slow.

On the other hand, their conversation also continued.

"Ogata-san, what do you think?" Chika asked hopefully, "Do you want to join the table game club?"

"Sorry, I have no intention of joining," Rizu refused.

On the first day of school, when the club was showing off, she couldn't wait to leave when she found out there was a table game club.

She originally thought that a table game club was a place where everyone played table games happily together.

When she arrived at the table game club, she saw that it was completely different from what she thought.

To describe it in one sentence, apart from playing table games, it seemed like they were doing other things.

Therefore, she gave up the idea of joining a table game club.

"Eh? Don't you want to visit again?" Chika persuaded sincerely, she didn't want to let this caring classmate go so easily.

On the first day of school, she had just joined the table game club and then went out to recruit people.

As a result, something unexpected happened and she saw "hundreds of millions" of things she shouldn't have seen.

Chika is sure that as long as Rizu visits her again now, she will definitely be touched.

"No ."

After rejecting her again, Rizu looked at Ren.

"Kamikawa-san, would you excuse me?"

"Um."

When he heard someone calling him, Ren subconsciously raised his head and looked ahead.

Only then did he realize that he didn't seem to be wearing glasses.
