"Okay Nino, don't get too excited. Maybe you misunderstood."
Seeing Nino who had been staring at the cellphone screen for a long time, Ichika reminded her.
Isn't it just a flower?
What is this reaction?
"How could you misunderstand? He gave me flowers like this."
After regaining consciousness, Nino took the small blue forget-me-not from Ichika, placed it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.
Luckily, she didn't find a place to just throw the flowers away just because they were difficult to carry.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to understand his feelings for her.
"Didn't you just say that you chose this flower because it was easy to change?" Ichika raised an objection.
"Absolutely not. If you want to say that it is easy to carry, it must be a rose that is easy to change, right?" Nino defended, "Otherwise, why would the magicians turn into roses while performing?"
"…"
Ichika fell silent.
That's not what you said just now.
"But isn't this a magic tool? I remember a lot of magicians giving away unimportant things like that after their performance," Ichika continued to ask.
"But he did this magic for me, so he must have carefully chosen this flower for me and then decided to give it to me," Said Nino with certainty.
When she thought that Naoki (Ren) had specially chosen this symbolic blue flower among many flowers for her, her heartbeat accelerated.
(Without hope)
Ichika chose to give in to her persuasion.
"By the way, I specifically asked for his autograph."
At this moment, Nino suddenly remembered something, after carefully placing the flowers on the coffee table, she picked up her notebook.
"Look."
While talking, Nino opened the page that the other party signed and handed it to Ichika.
"What's so cool about signing?"
Even though she said that, Ichika still accepted it honestly.
"The handwriting is very beautiful."
"I think so," Nino agreed with a smile.
"Um?"
Just when Ichika was about to close her notebook, she suddenly felt like she saw this handwriting.
But after looking at it carefully for a long time, she couldn't remember where she saw it.
(Maybe I remembered it wrong myself)
After thinking about it for a while, Ichika realized that she still couldn't remember it, so she assumed that she remembered it wrong.
After all, things like accidentally misremembering handwriting were normal, and nothing to worry about at all.
So, Ichika returned the notebook to Nino.
"Wait, why does this flower feel like it's dying?"
Putting down her notebook casually, when Nino picked up the flower again, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Just normal. It's been at least ten hours since I picked it. It's natural for such a small flower to wilt," Ichika explained slowly.
"Then is there a way to preserve this flower permanently?" Nino asked hurriedly, she didn't want such an important flower to just wilt.
"I don't know about this," Ichika shook her head, "You can check online. There must be a solution online."
"Then, I'll go back to the room first. If there's nothing else, don't call me."
After saying these words, Nino took the flowers and notebook and rushed to the second floor.
She decided to go back to her room to find a place to put her notebook, and then think of a way to save the flowers.
"Ichika, what's wrong with Nino?"
When Itsuki just entered the door, she saw Nino rushing upstairs, and was very confused.
"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered that it seems to be spring now."
Ichika who was sitting on the sofa answered with a smile.
"???"
What does this have to do with the fact that it's spring and Nino went upstairs in a hurry?
Itsuki didn't understand.
······
Gabriel's House.
Currently, Gabriel was playing a game while listening to Ren tell her what happened when he went to the aquarium today.
After giving him that solution, she always felt that something was wrong.
Then, she planned to hear the results of her own method.
Because Ren didn't speak too fast, in order not to delay the game, she could only listen while playing the game.
After a long time, Ren finished speaking. As he finished speaking, Gabriel also put down her mouse.
For his daily itinerary, she could only use the word ordinary to describe it.
Except for Ren saying that he was approached by a strange girl at the beginning, which made her worried, the rest of the process can be said to be ordinary, basically no different from when he went to the amusement park yesterday.
However, he actually knew how to buy water for women, something Gabriel didn't expect.
She was never given anything by Ren...
Oh, no, it's still one billion yen.
Thinking about this, Gabriel felt that there was no point in helping Nino buy water.
"As expected of me, I came up with a good idea casually."
After confirming that nothing special had happened to Ren that day, Gabriel felt more relieved.
"Um."
Ren agrees with this.
Gabriel's method was indeed very good, if his superpower had not gone out of control, he would have executed it perfectly today.
Of course, he doesn't tell Gabriel that his superpowers are out of control, but instead gives Nino a bottle of water to fool her.
After all, if superpowers didn't go out of control, then it was a normal process.
"Gabriel, who is your boyfriend?"
Ren didn't forget the question he planned to ask Gabriel in the afternoon.
"Don't you even know this?" Gabriel was stunned for a moment.
"…"
Ren felt like he shouldn't ask that question.
He wasn't used to being looked at by Gabriel like this.
"Boyfriend is a way of referring to a man's lover."
Gabriel was used to Ren's lack of common sense, she was just a little surprised and thought it was nothing.
"You do know what a lover is, right?"
To ensure that Ren explained clearly, Gabriel specially confirmed it to him.
"Um."
Ren nodded.
He still knows what a lover is, isn't it the person he will marry in the future?
He knew this kind of common sense knowledge very clearly.
"By the way, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Gabriel suddenly realized something and looked at Ren.
