Title: The Birthday Gift Prepared by Nino

“Who made you fall asleep, Ichika?”

Miku had a faint smile on her face, and her tone seemed to be hinting at something.

“Sigh.”

At this moment, Ichika could only take a deep breath.

Listening to them talk about what they did together at the water park while she was asleep, she slowly walked home.

“We’re back!”

After opening the door, Yotsuba went in first, and her high-pitched voice was also heard.

“Isn’t Nino home?”

Miku entered the house and found that none of the lights were on, and she said with a bit of confusion.

“Maybe.”

Ichika followed, chiming in casually.

“Could she be playing?” Itsuki guessed, “Or, in her room?”

“Who knows?”

Ichika shook her head.

Yotsuba was the first to take off her shoes, step out of the entrance, and turn on the living room light. Then she saw Nino sitting quietly on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought, so she didn’t notice that they had arrived home. When they came in, there was no reaction at all.

On the coffee table in front of her were lots of gift wrapping papers and colorful ribbons, as well as a not-too-large gift box.

“Nino? So you are home, why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

“Ah, oh, you’re back.”

Hearing someone call her name, Nino snapped back to reality and looked at those who had just returned home.

“Sorry, I was just thinking about something and wasn’t paying much attention.”

“What are you doing?”

Ichika approached, pointing to the items on the coffee table, and asked in confusion.

“I’m preparing a birthday gift for Kamikawa-san.”

Nino didn’t hide anything and directly explained what she was doing.

“Eh? Birthday gift?”

This word caught Miku and Itsuki’s attention.

“Yes, isn’t his birthday coming up soon? So I thought it would be better to prepare the gift in advance.”

Saying this, Nino sat upright and began to choose the wrapping paper she would use later.

Itsuki couldn’t help but look at the gift box on the coffee table: “Isn’t it a bit early to start preparing now? His birthday is still ten days away.”

Today is August 31, and Ren’s birthday is September 11.

Even today or on his birthday, there’s absolutely no problem having ten days to prepare the gift.

“Is it too early? His birthday is in ten days.” Nino asked, “Have you prepared the birthday gift you want to give him?”

“Not yet.”

When asked this question, Itsuki bowed her head in embarrassment.

Not long ago, she gave Ren a return gift, and now she had to think about what birthday gift to give him. It was really embarrassing for herself.

“So, is there anything wrong with me getting ready now?”

Nino picked up a piece of blue patterned wrapping paper and placed it over the gift box, trying to wrap it, but then unsatisfied, she opened it up and threw the wrapping paper aside.

“No problem.” Ichika took over, sat on the sofa next to her, and then asked, “So, have you chosen the birthday gift you want to give him?”

“Um, it’s ready.”

Nino avoided saying chosen and stuck with saying ready.

Pointing to the gift box that had been occupying her mind, Ichika then asked, “Can you tell us what it is?”

Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki didn’t speak, but their gazes fixed on the gift box revealed their true inner thoughts.

“No.”

Nino refused without hesitation.

Perhaps feeling that refusing directly was too harsh, she further explained: “After I choose the wrapping paper and ribbon, you can use the rest as you like.”

“Hahaha, thank you very much.”

Ichika chuckled helplessly.

Without continuing to mind her, Nino took a piece of black wrapping paper and tried it. After finding that the effect was quite good, she picked a white ribbon.

Seeing her action, Itsuki immediately stopped her and said, “Nino, wait a minute, isn’t the black and white color scheme a bit bad?”

“Doesn’t it look good?”

“It’s a birthday gift. Isn’t it a bit strange to use black?” Itsuki emphasized the key point of birthday gift.

“That makes sense.”

After hesitating, Nino opened the black-and-white wrapping, replaced the black wrapping paper with dark gray, and changed the white ribbon to beige.

After finishing the wrapping like this, she turned to Itsuki to confirm: “Is this good?”

“Yes, it’s good.”

Although it still looked like black and white, the difference was quite big.

“The rest is up to you.”

Placing the wrapped gift down, Nino tidied up the coffee table occupied by wrapping paper and ribbons.

“We’re here to help too.”

“By the way, did you have fun at the water park today?”

After finishing tidying up, Nino asked them a question.

“Except for me, they all had fun.” Ichika answered on behalf of them.

Nino looked at her: “Why except you?”

“Because I accidentally fell asleep at the water park.”

As she said this, Ichika’s tone was very tragic, as if she was about to cry the next second.

“How pitiful.” Nino was amused by her words, “Where’s dinner? Have you eaten?”

“No.”

They shook their heads together.

“Perfect, I didn’t cook either.” Nino said proudly.

“Isn’t this a happy thing?” Ichika complained.

“Right. I’ll cook for you later. I haven’t eaten either.”

Nino stood up with the wrapped gift and walked towards the stairs.

“But before that, to prevent you from peeking at the gift I prepared while I’m cooking, I need to put the gift in my room. Please wait a moment.”

“Don’t you trust us as sisters?”

“It’s the sisters who are not trustworthy!”

Nino retorted bluntly and stepped up the stairs to the second floor.

“I’m curious about the gift she prepared for Ren.”

Watching the gift in her hand, Miku whispered.

“We’re curious too.” Ichika nodded, “It’s too much to wrap the gift in front of us without telling us what it is.”

“Um.”

Just as Miku was about to look away from the gift in Nino’s hand, she noticed something strange.

That is, the bracelet Nino had been wearing on her wrist was gone.

Could it be because she wasn’t wearing it at home?

Anyway, such an expensive bracelet should be cherished.
