Title: It Will Continue Tomorrow and the Day After

“Sure.” Ren agreed.

“Then let’s discuss tomorrow afternoon’s plans while we walk.” Nino said, turning her face away from him.

“Yeah.”

❀❀❀

“Do you have any place you want to visit? If not, just follow my idea.”

After walking slowly for a while, Nino asked for his opinion.

“Not really.” Ren shook his head. “It’s up to you to decide.”

“How about the mall tomorrow?” Nino asked, sounding casual.

Ren inquired, “Are you going shopping? I don’t like shopping.”

He had no intention of breaking his character unless he was forced to.

“No, I just want to buy something, and I need your opinion.” Nino shared her thoughts.

“Consider my opinion? What do you want to buy?”

Generally, the only things that require consultation are items like clothing, right?

“Clothes. It’s time to change seasons. It’s almost time to buy autumn clothes.”

After saying this, Nino seemed to remember something and asked, “By the way, Kamikawa-san, do you need my help to pick out some clothes? I know quite a bit about fashion. Even if I’m not the best, I can at least help you, who wears black clothes all the time, choose a few outfits.”

“No, I have clothes to wear.”

Nino’s answer did not exceed Ren’s expectations.

And there was no need for help in matching clothes in the future. After all, it wasn’t strange to wear only black clothes.

“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. It’s your own business how you want to dress.”

Hearing this, Nino didn’t pay much attention and continued walking indifferently. Then she asked, “How about it? There shouldn’t be any problem accompanying me to buy clothes, right?”

“...Sure.”

After hesitating for a moment, Ren chose to accept.

Just buying a few clothes, nothing would happen.

It wasn’t as if shopping was completely out of character, so there was no need to refuse.

“Of course, I won’t let you accompany me to buy clothes for free.” Nino said gracefully, “In return, I’ll treat you to dessert the day after tomorrow.”

“What do you mean by dessert the day after tomorrow? Aren’t we discussing tomorrow’s arrangements?”

From her previous speech, Ren vaguely guessed what she meant by her current sentence, but to avoid misunderstanding, it was better to confirm just in case.

“It means the day after tomorrow we will go to a dessert shop together.” Nino squinted her eyes slightly, “You don’t have any plans for the day after tomorrow, right?”

“...”

Had she already made preparations for the day after tomorrow?

“What? Was my guess wrong?”

Seeing him not speak, Nino worried slightly that her judgment was wrong.

“No, I really don’t have any plans for the day after tomorrow.” Ren admitted.

“So, you agree to accompany me to the dessert shop the day after tomorrow?”

Nino interpreted the meaning of his words.

“Um.”

Ren still chose to agree.

But, wasn’t Nino acting a bit strange?

It was understandable if she shared with him what was on her mind.

But why did she want to ask him to accompany her to buy clothes and eat desserts together?

Anyone could do this, right?

Ren and Nino’s relationship wasn’t particularly close; they were just ordinary friends.

Moreover, they had never made plans to hang out together before.

That’s all for today, but what about the invitations for tomorrow and the day after?

Compared to himself, it would be more appropriate if Ichika and the others, as Nino’s sisters, accompanied her to do these things.

The most important thing was that Nino, who knew quite a bit about fashion, actually needed to ask for his opinion when buying clothes since Ren knew nothing about matching and could only wear complete sets of black clothes.

This was as outrageous as Gabriel taking the initiative to clean his room and Itsuki coming to give him a lecture.

Something must be wrong.

Unless Nino provided a proper explanation, Ren really couldn’t believe that this was something he needed to do.

It seemed necessary to observe Nino more closely.

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?”

However, his observation was noticed by Nino right away.

“Nothing.”

Ren quickly looked away and answered indifferently.

There was no way he could say he was observing something unusual about her.

“Uh.”

Seeing his suspicious gaze, Nino didn’t ask further, just snorted softly and continued looking ahead.

As for Ren, having been noticed, it was hard to continue observing, so he let go of the idea temporarily and focused on the task of walking her home.

Since they randomly found a path and started wandering, it took a long time to return.

“See you tomorrow, Kamikawa-san.”

Standing at the entrance of the building, Nino waved at him and said goodbye.

“See you.”

After responding, Ren turned and left, slowly walking toward his home.

“Still nine days until his birthday...”

Watching his departing figure, Nino murmured in a low voice.

“Hope everything goes well.”

❀❀❀

Half an hour later, Ren arrived at his front door.

He took the key out of his pocket and opened his front door. The smell of food wafted out.

He entered and closed the door. As he took off shoes, Gabriel’s voice came from the dining table.

“Welcome back, Kamikawa!”

However, compared to previous greetings, the discomfort of the person involved was evident in her words this time.

“Um.”

Upon entering the room, Ren saw Asumi busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and Gabriel sitting at the dining table, also wearing an apron.

“You’re finally back. There are many things I want to ask you. Please sit down quickly.”

Gabriel pointed to the chair opposite her. The chair there had been pulled out, only needing someone to sit on it.

Ren sat opposite her: “Did something happen?”

Gabriel had such a serious expression that he felt worried.

“As I said, there are many things I want to ask you, so don’t think too much about it.” Gabriel reassured.

“What do you want to ask?”

Ren followed her words and asked.

“There’s a lot, like what happened between you and Nino during the summer vacation, why others pretend to know nothing, and—”

After saying this, Gabriel took out a key from her apron pocket.

“—This is the key to your house, taken by Senpai from your pocket.”
