Title: Let Me Carry You

“Do you think we’ll believe your explanation?” Ichika asked, “You were clearly holding hands with Ren-kun, but you just accused Yotsuba.”

Miku didn’t respond to the question and remained lying on the sofa.

“Seriously...”

Seeing her like this, Ichika couldn’t continue asking and could only sigh helplessly.

But Itsuki was still muttering words like “Miku and Yotsuba held hands with Kamikawa-kun.” and seemed very concerned about this issue.

Yotsuba had regained her strength and curiously asked Itsuki, “By the way, didn’t something happen between you and Ren at the water park?”

“Probably not.” Itsuki shook her head.

Ichika pointed out the detail: “What exactly happened? Words like that make me very suspicious.”

“If I really have to say, Kamikawa-kun once said that my swimsuit looked good, then he bought me a rice ball, and nothing else.”

After thinking carefully, Itsuki spoke somewhat sadly.

“Did you really get praised by Ren-kun for looking pretty? That’s amazing.” Ichika looked very surprised.

“What’s the big deal? My condition isn’t bad.”

Itsuki lifted her head and spoke calmly.

“That’s true. After all, the five of us sisters have almost the same figure.” Ichika agreed with her point of view, “So, Ren-kun praising your swimsuit is a subtle compliment to all five of us.”

“Can we really conclude this?”

Itsuki was stunned, not expecting such logic.

Ichika responded straightforwardly: “Of course, we’re quintuplets.”

“That’s true.”

Itsuki was successfully persuaded.

Nino placed the last plate on the dining table and called out to them: “It’s time to eat, stop sitting on the sofa.”

“Yeah.” Ichika responded and confirmed with them, “Besides what you just talked about, is there anything else you can tell me?”

“Nothing else.”

Their answer was unanimous.

“Well, it seems like today’s water park trip is finally over.”

Ichika stood up and walked toward the dining table.

“Even though you told me many things, which made me feel a sense of participation I can’t explain, no matter what, I still feel very sorry that I didn’t participate personally.”

“Who made you fall asleep, Ichika?”

Ichika declared: “I must go again if there’s a chance!”

“Are you going to the water park again? Or with Kamikawa-kun?”

Itsuki stood behind her, hurriedly confirming.

“Not necessarily. I just said I would go again if there’s a chance.” Ichika’s tone was very gentle, “But generally, there’s no opportunity to go again. After all, going to a water park requires free time.”

“Is there really not much time? We’re only first-year high school students.” Miku recovered from her fall and asked confusedly, “You have plenty of time to go, right?”

“That’s true.” Ichika answered with a smile, “But anyway, I won’t be able to go to the water park this year.”

“Why?” Yotsuba asked curiously.

“Because summer vacation is over.”

Nino who was already seated at the dining table, stated the fact.

Ichika pulled out her chair and repeated softly:

“Yes, summer vacation is over.”

On the other side, Ren and Gabriel were also walking home.

“Let me ask you, Kamikawa, what’s up with your skin?”

Gabriel grabbed his arm naturally, lifted it, and asked her question.

“What’s wrong?”

Ren didn’t quite understand what she was asking.

“You spent a whole day at the water park, but your skin didn’t change at all. Isn’t that strange?”

While poking his arm, Gabriel asked with feigned seriousness.

“I used sunscreen.”

Ren gave a reasonable explanation.

In fact, the real reason was that ultraviolet radiation had no effect on his body at all.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed to Gabriel’s arm and added, “Also, Gabriel, your skin didn’t change at all, right?”

“Oh, that’s true.”

Gabriel was stunned and quickly let go of his arm.

She was an angel, so it was normal for her not to get tanned, but she just didn’t realize it.

“Um.”

Seeing her not worrying about this issue anymore, Ren felt very relieved.

“I’m so tired today.”

After walking for a while, Gabriel spoke slowly.

“Thanks for your hard work.” Ren replied.

“No, that’s the wrong answer.”

Gabriel looked sideways at him, very dissatisfied with his answer.

“Did I say something wrong?”

Ren was a little confused by her words.

“Of course! Tell me first, why did you want to tell me that I’ve worked hard?” Gabriel asked seriously.

“Because normally you wouldn’t want to join such activities. Last time you refused to go hiking. And this time you agreed to go to the water park only after I invited you. So I think you worked very hard and you weren’t being yourself.”

Ren revealed his true thoughts.

“That makes sense. Normally, I really wouldn’t want to go to a place like a water park that consumes a lot of energy.” Gabriel nodded slightly.

“If so, why was my answer wrong?” He was quite concerned about this question.

“The thing is, today is a special situation.”

Gabriel turned her face away from him and looked straight ahead.

“Today is the last day of summer vacation, and it’s also the first day I’m officially back. I rarely participated in any serious activities throughout the summer vacation, so I didn’t mind going to the water park with you today. Normally, I wouldn’t think about something like this.”

She emphasized the word “with you.” but Ren didn’t notice it at all. His attention was still on her sentence:

“Then how should I respond to your words? What’s the correct answer?”

“The correct answer is, ‘I will carry you!’ I’m very tired because of you, so you have to be responsible.”

Gabriel already knew about Ren’s emotional intelligence, so she naturally didn’t expect him to understand her meaning, so she directly told him the answer she wanted to hear.

“I see.”

“Then let’s do it again.”

“Um.”

“I’m so tired today.”

“I will carry you.”

“Okay~”

Gabriel answered loudly, her tone very quick.
