"Hmm? What do You mean Kent-kun?"

Rei asked as Kent realized what he was doing as he comes up with a plan to neutralize this situation he was in. He didn't even realize that his body had moved on its own. He felt ashamed of what he has done but he had to rebound himself from this situation.

"Well, do you even know where Y/N goes to? Rei-chan?"

Rei let our a visible gasp and shocked face. All this time, Rei actually don't know where your university is. Some part of her wants to get mad at you for keeping this information away from her but she also have to look at the other side of the coin.

As ahe thought of reasons why your hiding this information from her, an immediate idea popped into her head and the image was, you being surrounded by women.

It was so out of place but that was the one that got stuck in her head. And she didn't waste time to get angry at that thought. Her eyebrows furrowed downward showing her frustration even more.

"It all makes sense why HE'S FRIENDS with Kazuha! Why I attah.."

Everything seems to click on her head as the dots seems to connect with each other. Never have she heard about you having any male friends, most names she heard are female and that's when she had an idea of what kind of person you are.

"Ohh I'm so gonna scold him!"

Rei thought to herself before she started storming out of the store startling Kent as Rei snatched his arm. As someone as small as her, Kent didn't expect that she has such monstrous strength as he fell to the floor flat.

Rei saw Kent on the floor and Immediately went to take a knee to help him up.

"Oh my god! Are you okay Kent-kun?"

"Y-Yeah I'm fine. I'll guide you to Y/N's University. It's not far from here."

Kent manage to say as he stood up on the floor giving Rei a assuring smile. Though despite him showing a genuine smile, he was hiding a painful feeling as Rei's accidental slam to the ground actually got him having pain in some parts of his body.

"Eh? But who'll guard the store. I don't want to get you in trouble."

Rei spoke with worry on her voice. She had owe Kent a lot already from saving her life to walking her to the house and carrying her stuff. She have a huge debt on Kent and if he does this again, Rei would only feel guilty of using his kindness.

"It's fine Rei. My boss gave me authority to close and open the shop whenever I want. Kinda cool since it means he trust me a lot."

"Woooah! That's awesome!"

Rei's eyes shined brightly towards him as Kent smiled a little, happy that he got to make Rei smile at her. Even though it was just a small gesture for him, it made his heart race a bit seeing Rei smile happily at him.

"Ah, so where's Y/N-Kun university?"

"Hmm well I have hunch that the University nearby might actually be his university because I saw his ID lace with another student before that entered the store. My boss also told me that we're task on doing something on that University festival."

Rei stared at Kent upon hearing the words Festival. she was always an observer of any Festival wither it be small or gigantic. It was an event full of happiness and full of festive spirits. Yet the only thing she's allowed to enjoy during festivals are the fireworks that light up the sky.
