Title: Nakano Nino Doesn’t Have Time

After chatting about trivial matters, the three of them arrived at school.

Then, Asumi parted ways with them, and they also walked towards their class.

Perhaps because it was the first day of school, the noisy sounds of various classes could be heard in the hallway, and many people were casually chatting in the corridor.

“So lively. Today is clearly the first day of school.”

Gabriel made a casual comment.

Ren did not answer, just walking quietly.

“Good morning, Kamikawa-kun, Gabriel.”

As soon as they entered the classroom, Itsuki, who was sitting by the back door, saw the two of them and greeted them with a smile.

“Morning.”

Gabriel responded casually and walked towards her seat.

“Good morning.” Ren also replied.

“Need a tissue?”

When he reached his seat and saw the dust accumulated on the desk after a month, Ren was about to take out a tissue, but Itsuki’s voice sounded first, along with the tissue handed to him.

“Thank you.”

Ren took the tissue and started wiping the desk and chair.

“You’re welcome.”

Taking advantage of the busy moment, Itsuki seized the opportunity to ask, “Since school starts today, should our afternoon tutoring start again?”

“Yeah, what do I need to teach?”

Ren didn’t mind continuing the tutoring as before.

But the problem was, today was just the first day of school, and classes hadn’t started yet.

“Mhm...”

Hearing his answer, Itsuki immediately fell silent.

Because she was looking forward to receiving tutoring from him again this afternoon, she overlooked the fact that there wasn’t anything new to be tutored on yet.

After all, they were still in the top fifty in the class.

“Itsuki, there’s no need to rush. It’s okay if things like tutoring are postponed until later.”

This time Fumino, who was sitting in her seat, came over, but Rizu, who often appeared with her, was pinned to her seat by Chika, and they didn’t know what they were discussing.

“I know, I’m just not used to it yet.”

Itsuki scratched her face and explained awkwardly.

Fumino took out phone, waved it at Itsuki while blinking simultaneously, then said to her, “How about delaying the tutoring for a bit? After all, school has just started, so there’s no need to be so anxious.”

“Okay.”

After cleaning his chair, Ren sat down.

Itsuki didn’t speak, but took out phone from her pocket and checked it carefully.

“Then let’s postpone it for about ten days, so even if we have tutoring, we’ll have content to discuss.” Fumino offered her suggestion.

“Yeah, I think so too.”

Itsuki put down phone and immediately changed her story.

“If you plan on needing me for tutoring, just tell me directly.”

Ren felt there was no problem with this.

“Then I’ll go in first.”

This time, Vigne appeared at the back door, waving as if saying goodbye to someone, then entered the classroom.

“Good morning, Vigne.”

Ren greeted her.

“Good morning, Kamikawa, did you arrive this early?”

Seeing him already seated, Vigne seemed startled and responded hastily.

“Mhm.”

Ren didn’t notice anything strange.

“Then let’s settle the tutoring issue first and not worry about it for now.” Fumino changed the topic.

“No problem.”

After continuing the conversation for a while, the bell signaling class preparation rang, and Fumino left to return to her seat.

Not long after, Kirisu Mafuyu, still cold and wearing a teacher’s uniform, entered the classroom and started the class meeting.

The specific content of the class meeting was no different from previous class meetings, except the topic was shifted to the start of the school year.

Other students were basically listening casually, but due to Mafuyu’s majesty, they all acted very obediently. Only Ren was listening very seriously.

During class, in a small group.

Nakano Itsuki: [Sorry, I just saw the invitation to join the group.]

Furuhashi Fumino: [It’s okay, after all, this group was created just this morning, so it’s understandable if you didn’t notice it.]

The number of people in this group was similar to the “Everyone” group created by Ren, except Ren was offline.

However, the purpose of this group was very different from that of [Everyone].

[Everyone] facilitated communication and discussion for everyone, and this group was going to discuss holding Ren’s birthday party.

Therefore, Ren who was one of the involved parties, was excluded.

Nakano Ichika: [I thought Itsuki had seen it long ago.]

Nakano Itsuki: [I didn’t open LINE this morning...]

Furuhashi Fumino: [By the way, Nino hasn’t joined the group yet. Did she not see it, or did something happen?]

Nakano Ichika: [Nino too? Wait a moment, I’ll ask Nino.]

❀❀❀

Next class break.

Nakano Ichika: [Nino said she doesn’t want to participate in our plan. She has something else to do on Ren-kun’s birthday, and it’s something very important, so she doesn’t have time.]

Raphiel: [Then there’s nothing we can do.]

Nakano Yotsuba: [But didn’t Nino already prepare a birthday present for Ren-san? Why does she say she doesn’t have time on that day?]

Furuhashi Fumino: [Really? Is this information reliable?]

Nakano Itsuki: [Absolutely reliable. Because Nino prepared the gift in front of us, we also helped give suggestions on the packaging of the gift.]

Furuhashi Fumino: [Then what’s going on?]

Raphiel: [Maybe she doesn’t want to participate in our plan.]

Nakano Ichika: [Weird, Nino should be the person who least wants to be excluded by us. And the strangest thing is that Nino didn’t even join the <<Everyone>> group, which I specifically reminded her about earlier.]

Fujiwara Chika: [Do you need me as a detective to investigate?]

Nakano Ichika: [Forget it.]

Gabriel: [May I ask directly?]

Nakano Ichika: [I asked, and Nino just said she doesn’t have time.]

【......】

The group continued to discuss this issue for a while but couldn’t reach any conclusion.

❀❀❀

Lunch break arrived soon.

“Sorry, Kamikawa-san, can you spare a little time?”

In front of the vending machine, Ren who had just bought a drink, was greeted by Nino.
