I Will Help You Realize Your Wishes

"Kouhai-kun..."

Hearing his response, which could be called a confession, Asumi immediately froze.

Weren't they just pretending to be a fake couple?

But what's with his answer?

Also, didn't Ren say he's not good at chatting?

Why can he still say... nervous words like that?

It's too much!

"Do you mean, the state medical university?" Soujiro caught the key point of his answer.

"Yes." Ren nodded.

"...Asumi, do you still have this idea?" Turning his gaze from Ren to his daughter, Soujiro asked this question.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this?" Asumi regained consciousness and asked.

"Haven't I told you long ago that you don't need to worry about family matters?" Soujiro raised his glasses, "Life is more than just being a doctor. Don't force yourself, choose what's suitable for me..."

As a father, he could be said to be very aware of his daughter's talents and abilities.

When his daughter was specially recruited by Shuchi'in Academy, he thought she finally gave up on the idea of becoming a doctor.

Therefore, when his daughter said she wanted to work and go to school, he thought his daughter was studying liberal arts, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it seems she never gave up on her dream of becoming a doctor.

"I'm serious!" Asumi said loudly, "Haven't I told you that I will inherit this clinic?"

"Doctor... It's not that simple! It's impossible to get into a state medical university with your science grades!" Soujiro replied very seriously.

"How do you know if I don't try?!"

"Things that can't be done can't be done. There are always things that people can't do! Moreover, from the first year of high school until now, your science grades haven't improved at all?"

"Ugh..."

Asumi couldn't refute her father's words. She could only bow her head powerlessly, her eyes slightly red.

"Nothing is impossible." At this point, Ren said softly, "At least, for me, nothing is impossible."

He's an almighty Esper, there's nothing in this world he can't do.

After a pause, Ren continued: "Uncle, if you're worried that Senpai's science grades are too poor and she won't be accepted into a state science university, rest assured."

"I've been teaching her in science during the summer vacation. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll see her science grades improve after the next exam."

"Do you mean, you're tutoring Asumi?" Soujiro was quite suspicious of his statement, "Aren't you just a new student in high school?"

"It's true that I'm a new student in high school, but I'm very talented at teaching people." Ren admitted, "There's no problem even if I tutor Senpai."

Soujiro asked: "Are you serious about this?"

"Serious, not only during the summer vacation, I will also help Senpai with tutoring in the future." Ren answered sincerely.

"Even if you're very talented, there's no certainty about something like this."

Soujiro still seemed a little uneasy.

"Uncle, please believe me. I'm her boyfriend and I would never mock her future." Ren said word by word, "Please give me a chance to try. Next time Senpai's science grades after the exam will prove that I'm right."

"Senpai is serious, and I am serious too."

"She told me that she will work hard to achieve her dreams, so I will do my best to help her realize her wishes."

(Kouhai-kun, couldn't you just stay quiet naturally? How cunning!)

Standing behind him, Asumi rubbed her eyes forcefully.

When Ren finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became silent for a moment.

After looking at Soujiro, who had a downcast face and didn't know what he was thinking, Ren quietly glanced at Asumi, whose eyes were slightly red for some reason.

(What's happening? Did I say something wrong?)

Ren panicked a little.

"Kamikawa-kun."

A few moments later, Soujiro called his name.

"I'm here."

Seeing him finally speak again, Ren answered hastily.

"Call me father-in-law!" Soujiro emphasized.

"Eh? Father-in-law?"

Ren said unconsciously.

"Um."

Soujiro agreed very satisfactorily.

······

"For you, my father only believes my science grades will improve."

After Soujiro finished interrogating Ren, he was kicked out of house and forced to take him home, and redeem the extra lessons he didn't do in the morning.

"Is that so? Why for you? You've only met him twice." Asumi complained.

"That's good."

After getting this answer from her, Ren felt much more relieved.

The development after Soujiro asked him to call father-in-law was far beyond his expectations; basically, this was a matter between Asumi and her father, and had nothing to do with him.

So much so that Ren couldn't even understand what was going on.

"Right, Kouhai-kun."

After walking for a while, Asumi suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

Ren turned to look at her.

"Is what you just said at my house true?"

Looking straight ahead, Asumi asked pretending not to care.

Ren answered firmly: "It's true."

At this moment, he didn't have the ability to lie.

"In that case, did you really say you like me?"

Asumi looked at him with a smile on her face, like when she teased him in the past.

"I'm not exactly sure what 'liking' means, so I can only express my own feelings." Ren tried hard to answer, "The place I mentioned is where I feel comfortable..."

At that moment, the reason why he thought about it for so long was because of this issue.

"So that's it." Asumi continued to smile and said casually, "I'm so close to you pretending to be real and really want to be a couple with you."

"The following are all true." Ren added.

"Which ones?"

Ren asked her: "I will help you realize your wishes, can you trust me?"
