"Delicious."
Regarding this question, Miku gave her answer without thinking.
This was her favorite drink, so of course she wouldn't feel bad about drinking it.
"Um."
After hearing this answer, Ren knew what he had to do.
So, without hesitation, he opened the matcha soda and took a sip.
It's very ordinary, neither good nor bad.
"How does it feel?"
Seeing him put down his drink, Miku asked curiously.
"Delicious."
Ren answered calmly.
As long as he gave the same answer as Miku, then he couldn't possibly make a mistake.
"Is it true?" Miku seemed a little surprised, and her tone became lighter, "You also think this bottle of drink tastes good, it's really rare."
"Rare?"
Ren noticed this word.
"Yeah, even though it's a delicious drink, they all find it unpleasant to drink."
Maybe because Ren has the same preferences as her, Miku finds talking to him very easy.
"It doesn't taste good."
Then Ren decisively chose to change his tone.
Since they all found it unpleasant to drink, of course he couldn't find them delicious.
Doesn't this make him look different from ordinary people?
"?"
Miku's white and tender cheeks bulged, and her light blue eyes stared at him without blinking: "...Bullying me."
Earlier he said the drink was delicious, but when other people said it didn't taste good, he changed it and said it didn't taste good, this is too much.
"No."
Ren said with certainty.
Although he didn't know what bullying was, he was clearly not one now.
He had just made his own evaluation of the drink.
"Then let me ask again, does it taste good?"
Miku snorted softly and decided to give him another chance.
"It doesn't taste good."
Taking the matcha soda and taking a sip, Ren gave the same answer as before.
As long as ordinary people feel bad about drinking, then Ren will definitely feel bad about drinking.
"Since you don't feel comfortable drinking it, why did you drink it just now?"
Miku pouted and asked in dissatisfaction.
"Don't waste food," Ren answered seriously.
Drinks are also considered a branch of food, so naturally they won't be wasted.
"Don't believe."
Miku didn't believe his explanation.
If Ren truly believed that food should not be wasted, then he could drink it at another time or give it to someone else, but he only took a sip after asking her and saying it didn't taste good.
He must have bullied her on purpose!
"That's right." Ren tried to defend himself.
"It was Kamikawa who lied and deliberately bullied me."
After observing it for a long time, Miku said casually.
"Kamikawa-kun." Ren corrected.
He didn't want any extra prefixes in front of his name, it would sound too strange.
"Hmph."
Miku crossed her arms and looked away, ignoring his point.
Seeing that she didn't continue to speak, Ren also remained silent, slowly drinking the matcha soda, waiting for her to speak again.
He couldn't believe Miku called him here just to give him a bottle of drink.
Of course, he wouldn't wait forever.
If she didn't say anything after finishing his bottle of drink, he would immediately leave.
Rather than staying in the pavilion with Miku in the rain, Ren preferred to listen to Itsuki, Fumino, and Rizu chatting in class.
Besides, isn't it strange to be here in the rain?
After all, there was no one else in the park except the two of them.
It's better to go back to class immediately.
Miku turned her head slightly, secretly looked at him, and found that Ren was drinking matcha soda, and then she became more sure of her guess.
He must have done it on purpose!
"Make it a secret that I like the history of the Warring States Period. This way I won't call you Kamikawa who intentionally bullies others."
After a while, Miku's soft voice reached Ren's ears.
"Sure."
Ren agreed easily.
Miku is considered his classmate, so naturally meets his standards in helping classmates.
Miku was surprised to hear Ren agree so simply.
She thought he would definitely make things difficult for her.
After all, he just said that.
He's really a good person.
"Besides, what we are talking about here today must also be kept confidential."
Miku still felt uncomfortable, so she added another sentence.
"Can."
"…"
After staring at him for a while, Miku continued: "Then... You have to return the three books I gave you last Saturday."
After saying that, Miku lowered her head in shame.
She's so over the top.
There are so many requests.
"Hm?"
At this moment, Ren finally understood why she gave him a drink.
It turned out that the girl wanted to use this drink bottle to exchange for the three books.
After understanding this, he felt that the matcha soda in his hands felt much more comfortable.
This way he wouldn't have to worry about Miku having strange intentions.
(Does he agree?)
Miku began to reflect on her behavior earlier.
Maybe Ren wanted to joke with her, so he deliberately said it didn't taste good.
If he really felt the taste was bad, he wouldn't have answered her question after drinking it.
It seemed she misunderstood him.
Miku is very sorry.
However, now that she had reached this point, could she make another request?
"The last one is the 'Collection of Anecdotes from the Warring States Period'. Lend it to me to take a look first." Miku decided to give it a try.
She still couldn't forget the book she took.
"No."
Ren refused without hesitation.
He had not finished reading the book, and had been waiting for [Luck Max] to take effect.
The matter of borrowing books had already affected him, so there was no way Ren would agree.
"Then after you finish reading it, can you lend it to me to read?" Miku stepped back and begged.
The previous request was indeed a bit excessive, but the current request cannot be rejected.
"No."
This time Ren chose to refuse.
"Why?"
Miku blinked confused.
Could it be that someone else had ordered to borrow it before her?
She could only think of one reason for this rejection.
"Because it needs to be returned to the library."
Ren answered matter-of-factly.
The book wasn't his, so how did he have the right to lend it to someone else?
"…"
In an instant, Miku's face puffed up again, and she looked at Ren angrily.
Sure enough, he was bullying her on purpose!
