Ren is Actually Very Uncomfortable with It

"No, you can't."

Ren ruthlessly refused.

This is something he had agreed upon before putting on the armor; how could he retract his words?

"Just take one picture..."

Raising her index finger, Miku pleaded sadly.

If she could capture Ren's current appearance in a photo, then this museum visit would be a worthwhile journey.

"This..."

Seeing Miku's expression, Ren hesitated.

It's not that he can't be photographed; he just doesn't want to be photographed. Like before, he has been pulled by Gabriel several times to take photos.

It's just that individual photos of him haven't been taken, which makes him a bit embarrassed.

"One picture is enough; I promise not to take more."

Seeing his expression slightly shaken, Miku kept asking.

"Just one picture?" Ren confirmed.

"Just one." Miku nodded quickly.

"Okay, you can't take back your words this time."

After thinking for a moment, Ren agreed, emphasizing his regret at the same time.

"No more."

Seeing him agree, Miku led him to a secluded place, turned on the camera on her phone, and began looking for angles to take the picture.

She could only take one photo, and she had to make it count.

"Ren, can you pose?"

Just seeing Ren standing there with a blank look, not even posing, Miku couldn't help but say it.

Even though Ren didn't do anything and just stood there, he looked good, but since she was taking a picture, he had to pose.

"I don't know how to pose."

Her request left Ren unsure of what to do.

He never learned how to pose for photos.

"Then just do what I say." Miku suggested.

"Okay." Ren didn't refuse.

"You grab the katana first..."

So, Miku started directing Ren.

Honestly, she hasn't learned any photography poses yet, but she still knows the classic moves of the Warring States generals in the game. So, she just needed to let him do those common poses.

Moreover, Ren is currently wearing Warring States armor, so it's perfect for him to masquerade as a military commander.

Under Miku's command, Ren made gestures of holding the katana with both hands and making a gesture to kill someone.

"I'll take the photo."

Seeing Ren in such a posture, Miku shouted, then lifted her phone and eagerly took the picture.

After hearing the "click" sound when taking the photo, Ren immediately resumed his usual movement and walked towards Miku.

Indeed, he still felt a bit uncomfortable being photographed.

Looking at the photo she just took with her phone, Miku felt quite satisfied because this photo fully showcased Ren's handsomeness, and there was no need for photo retouching or adding so-called filters.

The only thing she regretted was taking only one photo.

As for the request to take more photos, she couldn't bring it up again. Moreover, she regretted it once, and it's not appropriate to regret it again now.

"How is it?" Ren asked.

If the photo looked too weird, he would ask her to delete it; he didn't want to keep strange photos.

"Very good."

Handing him the phone, Miku couldn't stop staring at Ren.

"Um."

After taking the phone and making sure it wasn't bad, Ren handed the phone back to her.

"Wait for me; I'll take off the armor."

After saying that, Ren entered the experience room.

The photo has been taken, and he no longer needs to wear this armor.

"Yes."

After seeing him leave, Miku stayed in her place, staring at the photo.

After thinking for a long time, she set this photo as her lock screen wallpaper, replacing the original Takeda Shingen.

"It seems a bit strange?"

Looking at the lock screen wallpaper different from usual, Miku hesitated for a long time before changing the wallpaper back without using the photo.

(Nino will see it...)

For this reason, she decided to cherish the photo of Ren and let him see it.

But wouldn't it be better to print and frame it?

"Sorry, it's a bit difficult to take off the armor."

Before Miku could think about what to do with this photo, Ren returned.

"It's okay."

She raised her head and glanced at him, and found that Ren had put on his glasses again, making Miku feel much more relaxed.

In fact, she felt very uncomfortable with Ren without glasses; he always gave her a strange feeling and a sense of distance.

She prefers Ren's normal appearance to how handsome he is when he takes off his glasses.

"Let's continue shopping."

Putting away her phone, Miku continued.

The museum is very large; they have only visited half of it, and it takes a long time to complete.

"Um."

...

Later that afternoon, they were in a park not far from the museum.

"So tired."

Sitting on a bench with her to rest, Miku gently patted her feet.

While visiting the museum, she didn't feel tired; on the contrary, she was very interested and could take Ren around.

However, after leaving the museum, she found it difficult to take even two steps. The initial plan to wait until she got on the bus to rest had to be postponed, and she rested in the park.

"..."

Ren didn't answer. For him, this much exercise is nothing.

But Miku needs rest, and he doesn't mind resting with her.

Due to her lack of physical strength, Miku didn't think about talking to him and quietly recovered her physical strength.

Ren gazed at the park with interest. After a while, Miku's voice was heard again.

"Ren, I'm a bit thirsty; can you buy me a bottle of water?"

"Yes."

Of course, Ren wouldn't refuse such a simple request. He immediately stood up and walked towards the vending machine a bit far from the spare bench.

As he observed the park earlier, he naturally took note of the location of the vending machine.

"Money..."

Seeing him leave just like that, Miku had just taken out coins from her wallet, unable to help but shout.

"I'll treat you." Ren answered without looking back.

"Um."

After receiving such a reply, Miku gathered her money.

It's just a can of drink; there's no need to refuse.

After a while, Ren came back with two cans of matcha soda and handed one of them to her.

"Thank you."

After drinking the matcha soda, Miku expressed her thanks. As she was about to open it, Ren handed her another can.

Unlike the previous can, the newly handed matcha soda can was already opened.

Looking at it, she unconsciously asked, "This?"
