Title: Maintain This Relationship

“It seems there was something wrong with my statement. I truly apologize.”

Hayasaka pretended to be confident and apologized very calmly.

“I don’t feel any sincerity at all.”

After making this comment, Kaguya then emphasized, “In short, there’s nothing wrong with me carefully choosing a birthday present for Kamikawa-kun.”

“Yes.”

Hayasaka responded indifferently.

Kaguya seemed to remember something and suddenly said to her, “By the way, Hayasaka, do you have a close relationship with Kamikawa-kun?”

“Not close, you could say we have normal communication.”

Hayasaka didn’t consider the transactional communication between her and Ren as a close relationship.

“The amount of personal contact must be a lot?” Kaguya continued to ask.

“It is.”

To successfully complete the deal, they made many appointments to meet.

So, Kaguya said with a smile, “Then, please ask Hayasaka to go to Kamikawa-kun and find out what he needs or likes lately.”

“Don’t let him notice your purpose, otherwise, the surprise will be diminished when you give him the birthday present.”

‘I knew it.’

Hayasaka complained in her heart.

She had guessed such a development since the other party asked her if she had communicated with Ren.

“But Kaguya-sama, didn’t you just say that you would carefully choose a birthday present for Kamikawa-kun? If I ask, wouldn’t that contradict your original intention?” Hayasaka tried to resist.

She knew very well how unlikely it was to accomplish this, especially if she couldn’t detect the purpose.

“I have just carefully chosen it, but I don’t think it’s suitable. You can’t offer any additional opinions, so you can only choose from the gifts that haven’t been crossed out.”

Kaguya lifted the notebook and pointed to the writings on it.

“I’m asking you to inquire to reduce the number of gift choices. After all, when giving a gift, you should give the most suitable one. Choosing one from those gifts would be too random and go against the original intention of choosing carefully.”

“And since there’s still time before his birthday, I can also think about whether there are other gifts to give. I can almost make the best use of my time.”

“Of course, if you can find out directly what gift he wants most, that would save me a lot of trouble.”

In the end, she added this extra sentence.

“I see.”

As a maid, Hayasaka could only accept this very difficult request from Kaguya.

But, even so, should she give Ren a birthday gift?

Although they weren’t friends, just business partners, she still needed to give him a birthday gift.

Whether it was to maintain this fragile relationship or to increase his favor towards her.

But the question was, what birthday gift should she give him?

Such a headache.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

“Nino must know that I am Kamikawa Naoki.”

After returning, Ren immediately told Asumi and Gabriel about the incident.

“I think so too.” Gabriel agreed, “Although I don’t know her very well, judging from her recent behavior, this is the only reasonable explanation.”

Asumi sitting across from him, asked curiously, “So? What are you going to do, Kouhai-kun?”

“When I took Nino home this afternoon, I wanted to talk to her about this matter.” Ren explained, “But as soon as I opened my mouth, she immediately refused and said she didn’t want to hear it.”

“Having a 100% reaction shows that she knows the truth of the matter.” Gabriel’s tone was quite certain.

“Indeed, if she didn’t know what you wanted to say, it’s impossible for Nino to say she didn’t want to hear it.”

Asumi’s viewpoint was the same as his.

“Um.”

With their analysis, Ren was fully convinced that Nino knew he was Kamikawa Naoki.

“But what do you mean by her not wanting to hear your confession?” Gabriel was a little worried about this.

“It might have something to do with recent events.” Asumi guessed, “Didn’t you already make an appointment to go to the dessert shop together tomorrow? If after listening to your confession, for various reasons, the trip to the dessert shop tomorrow might get canceled.”

“It won’t be canceled unless Nino doesn’t want to go.”

Ren was not the type of person who would break a promise.

“I mean Nino might not want to go. Confessing fully may not necessarily be good. It would affect your mood.”

“Um.”

Ren recalled that Nino said she felt unwell and canceled going to the water park with him.

Did she cancel it at that time just because she knew he was Naoki?

After thinking for a long time, he still asked in confusion, “Then what should I do now?”

“Just delay it. Since she doesn’t want to hear your confession, let’s maintain this relationship.” Asumi gave her idea, “After all, this relationship won’t last long, and it will eventually crumble.”

“What if she wants to maintain this relationship forever?” Gabriel seemed worried, “As long as Nino continues like this and doesn’t want to hear Kamikawa’s confession, then the matter will never progress.”

Asumi said confidently, “Don’t worry, this can’t be maintained forever.”

“You’re that confident?”

Gabriel didn’t know where her confidence came from.

“Yes. Usually, I rarely interact with Nino, but through Ichika and the others’ insinuations and words, I can roughly understand Nino’s character.” Asumi explained, “If the character I know has no major deviations, Nino will take the initiative to be honest with Kouhai-kun soon.”

“Unless she has other intentions, the limit on how long this hypocritical relationship can last is ten days.”

“Something else? What do you mean?” Gabriel frowned slightly.

“I don’t know either.” Asumi shook her head, “I am not Nino myself, how could I know what she is thinking.”

“That’s true.”

Gabriel thought carefully and said no more.

Only ten days was not something unacceptable.

Who told Ren to come up with this plan?

“I see.”

Ren couldn’t do anything about it, he was very good at that.
