Yotsuba and Itsuki’s Interruption

"Naoki, how do you take care of your hands? Can you share it with me?"

Raising her hand, Nino asked with concern.

She usually paid a lot of attention to skincare, yet her skin still couldn't match Ren's.

Not only that, his hands were also very soft when held.

She wasn't sure if she should use the word "soft" to describe a man's hands, but his hands could indeed be called soft and felt very comfortable to touch.

She even said that his hands were softer than a woman's.

She had never held hands with any other man, but she often held hands with her sisters, so she could still compare.

"I've never done any skincare." Ren answered honestly.

"Eh? Really?"

Nino looked very surprised.

Ren admitted, "Really."

"In general, don't you magicians have special skincare methods?"

Thinking back to the common sense she learned about magicians, Nino said hesitantly.

She had just searched for this information on the Internet to learn more about Naoki, but now she couldn't confirm if the information was correct.

"..."

Ren really didn't know that magicians could take care of their hands.

So, he could only add, "I don't have any special skincare methods, just like this."

"I see." Nino expressed her understanding, then said with a smile, "It seems this is your talent, Naoki, which means you were born to be a magician."

"Um."

Ren responded.

His current identity was Kamikawa Naoki, and he had no relation to Kamikawa Ren, so even though he was praised like this, there was no need to refute it.

On the contrary, it would be strange to deny it, as he usually said.

It's very easy to arouse Nino's suspicion.

After ending the topic and chatting for a while, they arrived at the dessert shop mentioned by Nino.

"Let's go in."

Arriving at the door, Nino reluctantly let go of his hand.

She wanted to keep holding hands with him like this, but they were already at the dessert shop, so there was no other way.

"Yes."

After sizing up the shop from the door, Ren followed Nino and entered.

"Welcome."

As soon as they entered, the waiter's greeting was heard.

After finding a random seat and ordering some popular desserts based on the waiter's recommendation, Nino resumed chatting with Ren.

"I don't know how the desserts in this shop taste like? So if they taste bad, it's not my fault."

As the waiter walked away and was sure they couldn't hear their conversation anymore, Nino explained first.

"Um."

Ren didn't mind this at all.

However, as Nino was about to continue finding a topic to chat about according to her own plan, the dessert shop's door opened again.

"When was a dessert shop like this opened near our house?"

The pink-haired girl with an ahoge on her head said to the medium-sized pink-haired girl wearing a green ribbon beside her.

"It was just opened in the last few days. I only found this shop when I came back from school a few days ago." The girl wearing the green ribbon reminisced, "I remember there was nothing here before."

"No wonder I didn't notice it before."

The silly girl seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Why are they both here?"

Seeing Yotsuba and Itsuki being led by the waiter towards them, Nino's mouth moved slightly.

Although this dessert shop was close to their house, it was not a coincidence for some of them to come to this shop to taste it together.

However, it wasn't a big deal, it just took a little extra time to deal with Yotsuba and Itsuki.

But in this case, she couldn't take this opportunity to do anything to Naoki, besides, Yotsuba and Itsuki would definitely pay attention to her side with good gossip.

It could be said that she understood her sisters very well.

While she was thinking wildly, Yotsuba and Itsuki also came here, then found Nino and Ren sitting facing each other.

"Eh? Nino? And..."

Seeing Ren who was not wearing glasses now, Yotsuba didn't know what to call him.

"Kami—"

Itsuki almost wanted to call his name, but fortunately she reacted in time.

"Kamikawa Naoki. Didn't I introduce him to you before?"

Nino thought Yotsuba forgot his name, so she took the initiative to remind her.

Yotsuba scratched her cheek out of embarrassment and explained with wandering eyes, "Sorry, I didn't know what to call him?"

"Me neither."

Itsuki felt very guilty at the moment.

She was almost too naive now.

"I remember, didn't you all call him Naoki-san before?"

After recalling the past, Nino felt both of them were slightly suspicious.

"Because I haven't seen him for a long time, I didn't react immediately."

Yotsuba echoed, "Yes, that's right."

"I see."

After hearing their words, Nino didn't say anything else.

She didn't want to waste too much time on the two of them.

"Good day, Yotsuba-san, Itsuki-san."

Seeing them finally end the topic that she couldn't discuss, Ren took the initiative to greet them.

"Good day."

Yotsuba and Itsuki responded in unison, so neatly that they even surprised themselves.

"Well... let's go over there first."

After leaving those words, Itsuki inexplicably pulled Yotsuba away and sat not far from there.

"Sorry, my two sisters embarrassed you."

Nino didn't know why Itsuki, who always seemed confident, and Yotsuba, who was energetic and never afraid of people, became very embarrassed and uncomfortable after seeing the combination of her and Naoki.

"It's okay."

Ren didn't mind this at all.

"That's good."

That's what he said, but Nino had already thought about educating her two sisters after today's date with Ren.

It was clearly just an accidental meeting, was it necessary to make the atmosphere awkward?

It's really annoying!

When the desserts they ordered arrived, Nino smiled and said, "Let's try the desserts in this shop first."
