Title: She Told Me

“Is this really a serious matter?”

Fumino looked very surprised.

“What kind of person do you think I am?” Chika complained with dissatisfaction.

“I’m sorry.”

After Fumino apologized again, she picked up her school bag and stood up.

“Well then, let’s go. I happen to want to visit the mall too.”

“Let’s go.”

Chika grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the classroom happily.

“By the way, if we go to the same mall as Kamikawa-kun and Nino-san and accidentally run into them, do you think it counts as following them?”

After school, Chika asked Fumino seriously.

“Of course not, that can only be considered a coincidence. After all, the mall is a place where anyone can go.”

After Fumino answered, she continued in a somewhat softer tone: “But now that you’ve asked this question, if we really meet Kamikawa and the others at the next mall, it will be hard for me to define our behavior as a coincidence.”

“Haha...”

Chika laughed and said nothing more.

On the other hand, after traveling a long way, Ren and Nino arrived at their destination.

“Kamikawa-san, have you ever been to this mall?”

Entering the mall, Nino turned to him and asked a question.

“I’ve been here before.”

Ren had visited this mall with Nino, using his identity as Naoki.

As for whether there would be a problem saying it like this?

There was no need to worry at all.

The mall wasn’t a special place, so there was no need to hide the fact that he had been there before.

“I’ve also been here with him.” Nino said with a smile.

“With Kamikawa Naoki?”

Nino asked knowingly.

“Yes.” Nino turned to him, “So being here with you today feels very complicated.”

“...”

Ren didn’t know what to say.

Should he console her or say something to comfort her?

However, he did neither.

“Honestly, I said I would try my best to forget him, but in the end, I still can’t stop thinking about him.” Nino sighed.

Ren still didn’t know what to say and remained silent.

“Let’s not talk about the past, let’s use the time to buy clothes.”

Seeing him not speaking, Nino changed the topic.

“Yes.” Ren replied hurriedly.

When the two came to the women’s clothing section, Ren didn’t react strangely despite being a man but stayed there.

The main reason was he had experienced this kind of thing many times, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was used to it.

“There are very few men here.”

Seeing the people coming and going, Nino said.

“Well, because this is the women’s clothing section.”

Ren still understood this level of common sense.

“But, there are some men.” Nino sighed, “Men accompanying women to buy clothes. Generally, this is something couples do.”

“Not necessarily, they could be friends.”

Ren was very experienced in this area.

“Maybe.” Nino fell silent and then said, “But if the relationship isn’t very good, it’s unlikely a woman would let a man come and buy clothes with her.”

“Is that so?”

Ren didn’t know much about that.

“What I said earlier might have been too absolute.”

Nino frowned and thought for a moment, then added: “It would be more accurate to say that it’s my personal opinion.”

“In short, regardless of what others do, in my opinion, if the relationship between a man and a woman isn’t good enough, it’s impossible for two people to go out and buy clothes alone.”

“What about us?” Ren asked with great concern.

His identity and relationship with Nino shouldn’t be as good as she said, right?

Nino asked back: “What do you think?”

“We’re friends, and our relationship might be quite good?” Ren’s tone was somewhat uncertain.

“It’s fine if you understand it that way.”

Nino neither denied nor fully acknowledged it.

“Um.”

For Ren, the relationship between good friends was already very close.

While chatting quietly, Nino took him around various stores, occasionally asking for his opinion.

“By the way, Kamikawa-san, what kind of clothes do you like to see girls wear? Skirts or something else?”

Picking up a light blue pleated skirt from the side, Nino asked softly.

“Anything is fine, I don’t have any particular preference.” Ren answered honestly.

“I see.”

After saying that, Nino put the skirt back where it was.

After leaving the store and walking for a while, she said casually: “He told me that he likes to see girls wear skirts, so when I went out with him, I basically wore skirts to see him.”

“Hm?”

Ren remembered saying this.

But it didn’t represent his true thoughts. At that time, he gave the answer unconsciously, and it wasn’t his real choice.

“Yes, I remember it very clearly.” Nino sighed, “For some reason, I remember such details very clearly.”

After saying that, she suddenly realized and immediately apologized: “...I’m sorry, it seems I talked about him again.”

“It’s okay, it’s not a big deal.”

Ren forgave her easily.

“It would be terrible if I can’t forget my feelings for him.” Nino said worriedly.

“Yes.”

Ren shared the same concern.

“Let’s go and continue to the store ahead.”

Nino didn’t talk much about this topic and continued walking forward.

“Alright.”

Ren was still by her side.

“By the way, Kamikawa-san, did you know? Girls’ uniforms are always skirts regardless of whether it’s spring, summer, autumn, or winter.”

A moment later, Nino said something sensible.

“I know.”

Don’t underestimate Ren.

“As long as you know.”

Nino tilted her head and expressed her thoughts: “Actually, every time I go out with you, I want to go home and change clothes before going out.”

“But I’m afraid that if I make you wait too long, I have to give up the idea of going home and changing clothes.”

“I can wait until you finish changing your clothes.” Ren said without much thought.

“Besides, there’s another reason for not changing.”

Nino gently shook her head, her tone very soft.

“After all, the weather now is only suitable for wearing skirts. Changing from a uniform to another type of skirt feels a bit unnecessary and very unnecessary.”

“So, I think there’s nothing wrong with hanging out with you in a uniform skirt.”
