“Friendship?”
Ren repeated the word.
“Right.” Nino replied with a smile, “After all, giving yellow roses is appropriate based on our relationship.”
“That’s true.”
Ren agreed with this statement.
“Nino, do you understand the language of flowers well?”
Fumino asked curiously, looking at the yellow rose keychain shining under the light.
Although many people like flowers, they don’t know the language of each flower.
However, Nino accurately stated the language of the yellow rose, which is rarely mentioned, as if she particularly understood this aspect.
“No, I just looked it up on my phone.”
Nino held her phone in her other hand and explained with a smile, “I thought the keychain looked really nice, so I searched for the language of the yellow rose and found that it also fit our relationship. So, I bought it right away.”
“I see.”
On the surface, her explanation seemed reasonable.
But on closer thought, Fumino could find many things that didn’t make sense. For example, why did Nino need to look up the language of flowers?
It wasn’t as if she was buying a bouquet to give as a gift. Was it necessary to do that?
Also, wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Nino just happened to buy a yellow rose keychain, and its language fit perfectly.
“The act of looking up the language of flowers is very strange... Does anyone really buy something like a keychain and specifically search for the language of the flower used to decorate it?”
Chika held her chin with her hand, pretending to analyze seriously, and asked the question.
“Generally, no.”
Nino turned to look at Ren, and finally her eyes fell on the keychain in her hand.
“At least I wouldn’t have done it before.”
“Then now you...?”
Chika followed up on her words and asked.
“Something specific happened.”
Nino reminisced with a smile, “A long time ago, someone gave me a small, inconspicuous flower. At that time, I didn’t know what kind of flower it was.”
“So I looked it up on the Internet, and then I not only learned the name of the flower but also its language.”
“What kind of flower was it?”
Fumino was intrigued by her words.
“Blue forget-me-nots, the language of the flower is eternal love.”
Nino mentioned the name of the flower that was very impressive to her.
Ren remembered giving flowers to Nino.
It was caused by uncontrollable superpowers, and the flower was also blue.
In other words, was the flower he gave blue forget-me-nots?
“Eternal love? Then? What happened after that?”
Chika couldn’t help but repeat these words, her eyes shining, showing strong curiosity.
“I confessed to him after that, even during the fireworks show. You were there then, so you don’t need me to repeat what happened.” Nino replied without hesitation.
“Eh?!”
Chika and Fumino looked at Ren simultaneously.
Facing their gazes, Ren remained silent.
“At that time, I asked him if he had ever been interested in me, even once.” Nino continued, “His answer was not even once.”
“Since then, I realized that I had misunderstood.”
“The flower he gave me had no special meaning, nor did it have any deeper significance. He just gave me blue forget-me-nots.”
“I interpreted the language of the flower on my own and took it as his thoughts about me. No matter how I think about it, this is excessive self-awareness.”
“So, to avoid this misunderstanding from happening again, before I give anything related to flowers, I check the meaning of the flower to be safe.”
“Can you understand this explanation?”
After saying this long paragraph, the smile on Nino’s face unknowingly disappeared.
“I’m sorry.”
Fumino lowered her head and apologized.
What should she say?
Her explanation was so reasonable that it made people feel depressed.
“Yeah, sorry, I shouldn’t have asked you this question.” Chika said, trembling.
Even as a love detective, she couldn’t solve this heavy problem.
“Nino, I...”
After struggling for a long time, Ren was about to say something, but Nino interrupted him first.
“Kamikawa-san, it’s almost time for me to go home. Can you continue to escort me home?”
“Sure.” Ren agreed.
After getting his answer, Nino turned to them and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I said we would pick out accessories together, but we have to leave first.”
“It’s okay, you can go ahead.”
After learning about such a past, Fumino really couldn’t say anything.
Chika also said goodbye to them honestly: “Goodbye.”

On the way to escort her home, Ren hesitantly spoke again: “Nino, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“Sorry, I don’t want to hear it.”
Nino chose to refuse without hesitation.
Her answer put Ren in a situation where he didn’t know what to do.
“I see.”
In this case, he could only choose to give up.
“Kamikawa-san, you are very gentle about this.”
Seeing his reaction, Nino said with a chuckle.
“No, I’m just following your suggestion.”
Ren didn’t feel that he was a gentle person at all.
Nino didn’t answer the question but changed the subject and reminded him: “Remember to tie the keychain I gave you to your key. I don’t want the gift I gave you to go unused.”
“Okay.”
Ren took out the keychain and his house key from pocket and began to tie them together.
“Kamikawa-san, what do you think of me?”
Taking advantage of the time, Nino asked another question.
“Good.”
Ren gave his evaluation.
“Really? I thought I was a bad person.” Nino seemed surprised that he would give a positive answer.
Ren asked in confusion: “What’s wrong? I don’t feel that way.”
“Are you really serious about what you said?”
Nino tilted her head and looked at him, her blue eyes flickering with unease.
“That’s right.”
Ren didn’t lie about this.
“Um, actually, I’m a gentle person.”
Nino turned and looked ahead, her tone very relaxed, as if she were telling a joke.
“Um.”
While chatting, Ren tied the keychain.
After escorting her downstairs, Nino waved at him: “See you tomorrow afternoon.”
“Goodbye.”
