"Mmm, this is it. Thank you for taking me home."
Arriving at Wrench's doorstep, it was a high-end apartment. As for why she bought it in Sixth Street, in her words, it was because she didn't want to be too conspicuous.
"Since that's the case, then I'll be heading back first."
After seeing that his mission was complete, Wise had no intention of going in to sit for a while. After all, Belle was still at home now. If he went back too late, she would be worried.
"Wait a minute..."
Just as Wise turned to leave, Wrench called out to him again. In the end, under his puzzled gaze, she stated her reason. "Um, excuse me, are you free tomorrow? If possible, I'd like to invite you to the carnival held at the New Eridu plaza tomorrow."
Wrench's face was slightly red, and she looked at Wise in front of her with a nervous heart, hoping that he would agree. And the latter, seeing the girl's expression, smiled and nodded in agreement. The girl, upon hearing this, immediately jumped up happily and hugged Wise's neck. Although she felt shy about this action after letting go, she still looked at Wise with a firm gaze.
"Since we've made a promise, then you're not allowed to be late tomorrow." After saying this, Wrench happily went in. However, the door did not close immediately, but only slowly closed after Wise had turned and left.
Although Wrench's emotions were a bit impulsive, Wise could clearly feel the genuine love this pink-haired young girl had for him. It was just that this love came a bit too suddenly.
Just as Wise was on his way home, his phone suddenly received a message. He opened it and saw it was from Ellen.
[Little Dried Fish (Wise's Nickname): Are you free tomorrow? Want to go to the carnival in New Eridu with me?]
Wise was also slightly stunned upon seeing this. Why tomorrow of all days? And at this place too. Although he really wanted to agree, he had already made a promise with Wrench beforehand. As he was speaking, he was preparing to postpone the time. However, before Wise's message could be sent, another message came from Ellen's side.
[Little Dried Fish: Because this commission was completed smoothly, the boss gave us a few days off. Coincidentally, the school is also on holiday. It's been a long time since I've been out to play. Want to go together? If you have something else to do, then forget it.]
The finger that Wise was preparing to press to send the message immediately stopped. Thinking that Ellen was already very dissatisfied because of Wrench, Anby, and Nekomiya before, although her favorability had not dropped, if he were to refuse at this time... Hiss, I don't even dare to think about it.
[The Guy I'm Close To (Ellen's Nickname): Sure. In that case, let's set the agreed time for XX o'clock (just right to be staggered with the agreed time with Wrench).]
Ellen, who was in her own room at home, was in a much better mood after seeing Wise agree. She then replied.
[Little Dried Fish: Mmm, then it's settled.]
After replying to the message, Wise sighed silently and began to think about what he should do tomorrow. How about postponing the date with Wrench first? Anyway, the carnival wasn't just for one day.
Wise then opened his phone again. Just as he was preparing to send a message to Wrench, the ringtone of a text message sounded again before he could.
[Anby: Are you there?]
Seeing that it was a message from Anby, Wise replied first.
[Wise: I'm here. You're already awake. How are you feeling?]
[Anby: I feel fine. It's just that I was a little hungry when I woke up.]
[Wise: Mmm, get some good rest. I'll make you something delicious next time you come over.]
At this time, in her own room, Anby, who was lying on her bed in thin pajamas, instantly felt a warmth in her heart after seeing the concerned words sent by Wise. It's just that the purpose of her message this time was not this. So Anby typed again.
[Anby: I heard from Billy that it was thanks to you that we were saved.]
[Wise: It's not that exaggerated. It wasn't just my credit alone, but everyone's.]
[Anby: Anyway, thank you for saving me. So...]
Seeing this, Wise instantly felt something was not right. But it was already too late. When he saw the second half of the text message...
[Anby: Can we go out on a date tomorrow?]
As expected, it was not surprising that Anby was also saying this. At this time, Wise clearly knew how he should reply. After all, he now had two girls he was supposed to go out with tomorrow. He couldn't add another one.
Wise had originally thought so, but seeing another paragraph sent by Anby, as well as the emoji that expressed full expectation...
[Anby: I've already made the itinerary for the New Eridu carnival tomorrow. I've been looking forward to the hamburger eating contest for a long time. It's so great that I can go with Wise.]
Anby seemed very sure that Wise would be able to agree to her date invitation. The joy in the young girl's heart could even be detected from the words of the text message.
[Wise: No problem. Then it's settled.]
[Anby: Mmm, okay~]
At this time, Anby, who had now turned to lie on her stomach on the bed, showed a faint smile on her slightly flushed little face after seeing Wise agree. Her pair of fair little feet even excitedly swayed in the air a few times.
As for Wise on this side, he was fiercely slapping the steering wheel. Damn it! In the end, I still couldn't resist the temptation. How could I possibly refuse an invitation from such a cute girl like Anby!
There was no other way. Since things had come to this, he could only postpone one person's date first. Thinking of this, Wise opened Wrench's chat window. However, familiarly, the other party once again sent a message one step ahead of him.
[Genius Girl Hacker (This is her real name, not a nickname): Wise, thank you for saving me in the Hollow before, giving me the opportunity to continue to experience this world.]
Seeing this, Wise instantly felt that the atmosphere was a bit off. Not sure, let's see more.
[Genius Girl Hacker: If you hadn't appeared like a ray of light, I'm afraid I would have continued to stay in a dark room for the rest of my life. So I decided to change myself. Thank you so much!]
The young girl's heavy words made Wise unable to help but purse his lips. He then silently deleted the message he was originally going to send, and instead changed it to:
[The Person I Have a Crush On (Already changed to The Person I'm Openly in Love With): It's okay. Have you thought about what you want to play first tomorrow?]
After sending this message, Wise first put down his phone, and then drove back to the video store seriously. As soon as he entered the door, Belle immediately sensed her brother's lifeless mood and couldn't help but be a little worried. "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt somewhere?"
"Don't worry, Belle. It's just something on my mind..." Wise sighed lightly and did not explain too much. And Belle, after hearing this, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sunny girlish smile. "So it's something on your mind? That's not good. Coincidentally, there's a carnival in New Eridu tomorrow. How about we... eh? Brother, what's wrong with you?"
