Just a world Itsuki doesn't know about

"…"

Actually, Ren was curious about the important day that Nino mentioned earlier, but he never thought that today would be her birthday.

For humans, birthdays are considered to be very important days.

But he chose to spend time alone, thinking about everything he had done today, and for some reason, he felt a little complicated.

So, Ren took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from behind and handed it over, and said, "Happy birthday!"

"Also, this is my birthday gift for you."

"Eh? This gift?"

Seeing the gift box he had taken from somewhere, Nino was stunned for a few seconds.

Obviously she had never told him that today was her birthday. What happened to this gift?

Not to mention, it seemed like he had nowhere to hide anything.

"Magic," Ren said the explanation he had just thought of.

In fact, he used his superpowers to make this gift. Because Nino just found out that today was her birthday, to give her a gift, Ren could only use superpowers.

It would definitely look strange if he had another identity and gave her gifts so easily.

But Kamikawa Naoki was a magician, so strange things made sense.

"Ah, I almost forgot." Nino was easily convinced by his explanation.

After all, those magicians could conjure many things at will, and making gifts was now a normal thing.

Moreover, this gift box is only the size of the palm of your hand, so it is not impossible to transform it like this.

"Then I will accept it."

So Nino took the birthday gift.

Her purpose in asking Ren to buy the keychain was to consider it a birthday gift from him. Now that he actually gave her a birthday gift, she naturally would not refuse.

"Now that I have finished the four things I wanted to do today, I will go upstairs first. My sister is still waiting for me to come back."

Even though she wanted to spend time with him again, her sister was still waiting for her to come back and celebrate their birthday together, so she had no choice but to say goodbye.

"See you."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Nino turned and walked into the building, slowly disappearing from Ren's sight.

Only when she was no longer visible did Ren leave.

But on the way home, he thought back to the times he spent with Nino.

···

"I'm back."

Nino opened the door and saw her sisters sitting on the living room sofa together while watching TV.

"You are finally back. I thought you wouldn't be back tonight."

Seeing Nino who was changing sandals, Ichika smiled and teased.

"It is not too late for me to return. It's not even dark yet."

After changing into slippers, Nino pointed to the sunset outside and said helplessly.

"It's not too late," Ichika nodded in agreement, "So, how was your day?"

"Very good."

Thinking about today's experience, Nino answered without hesitation.

"That's good."

Hearing the answer, Ichika felt relieved.

"Nino, what is that in your hand?"

As Nino walked closer, Yotsuba suddenly noticed the gift box in her hands.

"This is Naoki's birthday gift for me."

Nino shook the gift box proudly and placed it on the coffee table in front of them.

Hearing this, Miku who had been silent, raised her head and looked at the gift box.

"Birthday gifts? Awesome!" Yotsuba said surprised.

"Wait a minute, haven't you told him that today is your birthday? Why this birthday gift?" Ichika immediately discovered the key point.

"I am not sure. He suddenly conjured up this birthday gift. After all, he is a magician," Nino explained casually, "His magic is so magical, I can't see it."

"Even magic requires preparation of props beforehand, so this gift should be in line with what he originally planned to give you. After hearing you say that today is your birthday, he just took this gift as a birthday gift and gave it to you."

After thinking carefully, Ichika made a fairly reasonable guess.

If the other party conjured flowers out of thin air and gave it to Nino, she would think it was normal. But if the other party conjured up such a beautifully packaged gift, Ichika could only think of the possibility that the gift had been prepared beforehand.

"You can, but it doesn't matter, as long as it's a gift he gave me." Nino didn't really care.

"That... Who is Naoki?"

While they were still discussing the gift, Itsuki asked weakly.

She just realized something was wrong. Why do they all know who Naoki is? And the discussion was lively!

Only she doesn't know anything?

"Eh?"

Hearing Itsuki's question, Nino suddenly remembered that her had not told Itsuki about her affairs with Naoki.

"Ichika, Yotsuba, please explain to Itsuki. I'll wash my hands and come back later to open the gifts."

After coughing several times in embarrassment, Nino chose to leave.

It was a gift given by Naoki, so she had to be careful when opening it.

Soon, she washed her hands and returned, and during this period, Ichika and Yotsuba briefly explained to Itsuki what happened to Nino and Naoki.

"I see."

Itsuki nodded thoughtfully.

She understands that Naoki is the boy Nino likes, and he is very handsome.

But when talking about good looks, she subconsciously thought of what Ren would look like after taking off his glasses during the study meeting that day.

If really want to talk about handsomeness, perhaps no one was more handsome than Ren at that time.

"Opening gifts!"

Sitting between the four of them, Nino took the gift box and started opening it.

Ichika and the others watched him open gifts together, wanting to know what birthday gift Naoki gave her.

This gift box is beautifully packaged, but it's not complicated to unpack.

"This..."

Looking at the box, Nino suddenly felt that the box looked familiar, but she didn't think too much, she opened the box and saw a silver-white bracelet placed inside.

Seeing this silvery white bracelet, she suddenly thought of it.

Wasn't this the bracelet she saw in the window this morning?
