Sorry, Nino?
"It seems to be true."
Yotsuba tilted her head and looked at the other three, then agreed with Ichika's statement.
"I suddenly feel so sorry for Nino. We all know it, but she's the only one who doesn't."
Seeing Nino still talking to Ren below, Itsuki felt the emotion called sympathy.
"You better not sympathize with Nino." Ichika replied.
Itsuki was a bit confused, "Why?"
"Because that would be very bad. If Nino finds out that the Naoki she likes has been teaching us, you can imagine what will happen." Ichika explained.
"I feel like I'll be dragged into weekend lessons." Yotsuba complained.
If Nino really knew, she would surely ask Ren to help teach them on the weekend, to get a chance to meet him.
This is something Nino can do, and she would also use the excuse of wanting to study hard to convince some of them.
"I might be harassed by Nino at school?" Itsuki also thought about the same thing.
Miku whispered, "You will be asked to stay away from Kamikawa-san."
As long as they have close contact with Ren, Nino will surely be jealous and talk about them as she should.
"Thinking about it this way, it seems better if Nino doesn't know."
After listening to each other's analysis, Itsuki let go of her sympathy for Nino.
Rather than being banned from all contact with Ren by Nino, it's better to maintain the status quo.
The current situation makes her very satisfied, and she doesn't want to ruin it.
"It seems Kamikawa-san is leaving."
At this moment, Yotsuba observed the movements below and reminded them.
"Sorry, there's something else I have to do, so I'll go first."
Ren stood up and took the initiative to say goodbye.
He has no activities if he stays here; should he stay for dinner?
In this case, it would be difficult for him to explain to Gabriel.
"Okay, then I'll send you off."
Although Nino wanted to keep Ren for a while, she couldn't find a suitable reason and could only let him go.
"Yeah."
In response, Ren did not refuse and left with her.
Walking to the elevator with him and pressing the button to the first floor, Nino took the initiative to ask, "Um... Naoki, do you want to go somewhere lately? I can accompany you."
She remembers what Ren said to her, so she still hopes to go somewhere with him.
"Not yet." After thinking for a moment, Ren answered gently, "But if you want to go somewhere, I can go with you."
The only place he wants to go lately is the fireworks show, but Gabriel has already agreed to go with him, so Nino doesn't need to accompany him.
"Is it okay anywhere?"
Initially, Nino was a bit disappointed after hearing the first half of his sentence, but after he finished talking, she smiled again.
"Don't go to strange places." Ren added.
If Nino drags him to a strange place, he will definitely not agree.
"How could I drag you to such a place?" Nino deliberately complained, "Besides, I don't know what's strange there."
"That's good."
This way, Ren feels more relieved.
"In that case, you can't refuse my invitation next time." Nino said, "You just promised to accompany me wherever I want to go."
"I won't refuse."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator reached the first floor.
"Goodbye."
After getting out of the elevator, Ren turned around and said goodbye.
"Goodbye."
Seeing him disappear from her sight, Nino pressed the 30th-floor button and prepared to go home.
"I'm back."
After opening the door, Nino entered the living room and saw her four sisters sitting neatly on the sofa, all looking at her at the same time.
"What's wrong with you?" Nino asked hesitantly.
Ichika answered, "Nothing, we just feel a little sorry for you."
"Pity me? Why do you pity me?"
Nino couldn't think of any actions they had done to pity her.
"We just ran upstairs together. We said we were calling Miku, but we never went down. We asked both of you to stay together, and there were some other things. In short, I apologize to you." Ichika explained, but the main point was omitted.
"It's okay. It's better to say that it's better after you leave. Naoki and I had fun chatting."
Nino didn't care at all, and she had no intention of blaming them at all.
"So, do you forgive us?" Ichika asked in surprise.
"I don't mean to blame you at all. Why do you suddenly apologize to me..."
Before Nino could finish her words, she found Ichika suddenly hugging her, which made her a bit confused.
Isn't this a simple matter? It doesn't require a hug, does it?
Before she knew what was happening, Ichika let go of her, then Yotsuba hugged her, then Itsuki and Miku also hugged her.
"What's wrong with you?" Nino asked somewhat confused.
"We just want to tease you on purpose." Ichika had already thought about how to answer her question, "Besides, bringing a man home without telling us, don't you think that's very excessive behavior?"
"I'm sorry."
Hearing that, Nino immediately understood why they were like this.
This is to be polite. No wonder she felt the atmosphere was weird earlier.
However, the problem originally started with her.
"It's okay. In that case, we're even." Ichika said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's even."
······
At the same time, Ren also headed home.
Because summer is approaching, the dark hours are getting longer. Although he stayed at Nino's house for a while, the sky is still not dark.
Putting his glasses back on, Ren began to walk slowly.
But after walking around for a while, he saw Vigne appear not far from him.
"Vigne, good evening."
Seeing Vigne's worried expression, Ren walked closer.
"Ah, Kamikawa."
Vigne was surprised to be spoken to suddenly, but she quickly reacted.
Ren took the initiative and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
She seems to need help.
