The Only Fan

"NO."

Ren hesitated and gave this answer.

If he answered as Ren, then it would undoubtedly be a promise.

But the problem is, he is now Naoki, so his answer must be the opposite of Ren's to make a difference.

Hearing his answer, Nino's expression softened even more.

"Since you don't have any promises with anyone else, Naoki, why can't you accompany me to the fireworks show?" She then asked.

"I'm helping prepare magic tricks during that time."

As Naoki is a magician, he gave a reasonable excuse based on this identity.

"Are you going to make your official debut?" This is Nino's first reaction.

Ren denied: "I'm just helping the teacher prepare magic props, not making a debut performance."

He's not actually a magician, so how could he debut?

"I see."

Nino understood.

The teacher needs to perform magic, and as a student, it makes sense to help, and that's reasonable.

"Alright, then on the day of the fireworks show, I'll take some more photos to show you."

Even though others disagree, this is the best ending; Nino can't go with him because others have to help prepare magic props, not because of promises with someone else.

"Thank you." Ren expressed his gratitude.

"Well, then you owe me a gift." After bringing up the topic of the fireworks show, Nino talked about it while smiling, "Let me think about what I want you to do."

Ren emphasized: "As long as it's within my abilities, don't make it too weird, and I agree."

"Okay, then let's save this gift for now. I can't think of what I want right now."

This gift is crucial; Nino doesn't want to use it hastily; she needs to think it through.

"Um."

Seeing that she has no ideas to propose now, Ren stopped saying anything.

"Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go shopping at the mall and buy clothes together." Nino didn't forget the main purpose of meeting him, which is dating and shopping.

During this time, she was busy studying and teaching Miku cooking skills, and basically, she didn't have much free time.

Now she finally has the chance to go on a date with him; of course, she wants to relax a bit.

"Yeah."

Ren has very good physical strength, so it's not difficult to go shopping with her.

"By the way, Naoki, do you need to buy clothes?"

Passing through the men's clothing section, Nino suddenly remembered something and involuntarily looked at Ren.

If possible, she's still willing to dress him up.

"Not necessary."

He has plenty of clothes, a bit difficult to wear, plus he has to wear a school uniform when going to school; Ren can't wear his own clothes, so there's no need to buy additional ones.

"When magicians perform on stage, I remember they usually wear tuxedos or suits?" Nino asked, recalling magic shows she had seen on TV.

"Yes."

Ren has studied some magic, so he can still answer this.

"Then, are your clothes specially customized?" Nino asked curiously, "There are various magical props placed inside those clothes."

Talking about this, she looked at the clothes Ren was wearing today.

A black and white hooded short-sleeved shirt and three-quarter-length casual cream-colored pants.

Although it's a very ordinary outfit, it doesn't compare to his handsomeness, and he suddenly elevates this ordinary outfit to another level.

In a short time, she noticed that no less than ten girls were staring at him.

If she wasn't by his side, those girls would definitely come to chat with him; she's sure of it.

So, she held onto his arm a bit tighter.

"In normal circumstances, just wear a suit. The specific situation depends on the type of magic." Ren doesn't know much about this aspect, so he can only speak vaguely.

Nino seems interested in this topic, "So, do you usually wear a suit during practice?"

"Yes."

Because of that, it's, of course, impossible for him to deny it.

"Are there any photos? I want to see them." That's actually Nino's goal.

"No, I don't really like taking photos." Ren shook his head, "I just haven't taken any photos yet."

"Don't like taking photos? What will you do after your debut?" Nino started to worry about this, "If you do magic, there will surely be many people taking photos and videos during performances."

"So far, I haven't made my debut yet."

Ren used this reason to explain why he hasn't debuted.

"This..." Nino didn't expect the reason the other hasn't debuted is like this, "If you don't like being photographed, doesn't that mean you'll never be able to debut?"

"That might be true."

In fact, Ren never thought about debuting.

Nino raised her head and asked word by word, "Don't you regret it?"

"What do I regret?"

"You've worked hard to learn magic for so long, but you can't stand on stage and perform in front of an audience."

"No regrets."

"...Then can I still see you perform magic? We agreed that after you debut, I'll be your number one fan." Nino remembers this very clearly.

"Of course."

Ren casually flipped it, and a rose appeared in his palm, which he handed to her.

"This?"

Nino was momentarily stunned looking at the rose he handed her.

"Magic, given to you." Ren explained.

"Eh? How?"

Although Nino knows Naoki (Ren) is a magician, she's still surprised when he conjured a rose out of thin air with his bare hands.

Moreover, he's still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and one of his hands is held.

"Keep it a secret."

This rose was magically produced by him using superpowers, and there's no way to explain it to her.

"Amazing."

After taking the rose and examining it closely, Nino found that the rose was still fresh.

Ren looked at her and said, "If you want to see magic tricks, you can tell me, and I can show them to you anytime."

"Anytime?"

Nino paid attention to the choice of his words.

"Yes."

He has superpowers, but he's not actually a magician; he can perform without any preparation, and there's no problem anytime.

"Suddenly, I feel it's better if you don't debut."

"Why?"

Ren didn't understand why Nino suddenly changed her mind; didn't she ask him if he regretted it?

Nino stared into his eyes, smiled, and said, "Because then, I'll be your only fan."
