Just then, Mashiro appeared. "Rita!" She hugged the girl at the door. They hugged. The scene was harmonious.
"Mashiro!" Rita smiled brightly. She was happy that Mashiro missed her.
"What? It's little Rita," said Chihiro Sengoku, who came out to hear the commotion.
"Chihiro-san, long time no see," Rita greeted.
"Well, long time no see. But, weren't you in England? What are you doing here? Don't you want to be a cartoonist like Mashiro?" Chihiro teased.
Rita smiled. "No. I'm here to take Mashiro back to England to continue painting. If you know her, you'll know how great the hope for her talent is. But Mashiro deliberately came here to be a cartoonist, I don't agree!"
After dinner, Rita immediately revealed her intentions. But Mashiro said, "Rita clearly supports me," confused and a little angry.
Rita said confidently, "I only taught you how to draw on the computer. I never said I would support you being a cartoonist!"
"Rita, I'm not going back!" Mashiro said.
"Mashiro, are you still being stubborn?"
Rita wanted to say something else, but Mashiro pushed her out the door and closed it. "If Rita wants to go back, then go back. Mashiro won't go back, Mashiro will continue to draw comics!"
Poor Rita was pushed out. She pleaded, but there was no answer. Mashiro seemed genuinely angry. The others weren't worried, they looked at each other and went back to their rooms.
Renji pulled Mashiro to the sofa and stroked her hair. "Is it okay to kick Rita out? I see she only has a small bag. Aren't you afraid she'll meet a bad person?"
"Well, Mashiro is worried too. But Mashiro doesn't want to go back! Rita is very persistent. If I don't refuse her firmly, she'll definitely still want to take me back. That's why we have to make her understand Mashiro's feelings."
"Didn't we agree to find a way for Rita to stay?"
Hearing that, Mashiro looked at him. "Then Renji has to go and tell her. Mashiro doesn't want to go back to England. I just want to stay at the Sakurasou Dormitory and keep drawing comics."
"Mashiro, we can't rush. Anyway, let her in first. You can go back to drawing," Renji coaxed.
After Mashiro calmed down, Renji went out. He saw the blonde girl hugging her knees, looking lost. When she saw Renji, she smiled falsely. "I knew you would come out."
"Oh, tell me?" Renji raised an eyebrow.
Rita Ainsworth was indeed very beautiful. Long, curly blonde hair, a slender body, and a larger chest than Mashiro's. Her oval face highlighted her youthful beauty. Although her smile was fake, she looked friendly.
Rita smiled. "Isn't it usually like this in fairy tales? When a princess is in trouble, there's always a handsome prince who comes to save her?"
"So, you think you're a princess?"
"Why? Does my appearance not fit?" She deliberately shook her hair. Her slender body exuded charm.
Renji was not affected. "Let's not talk about that, Miss Rita. You're squatting in front of the door. Do you not have a place to stay?"
"Yes. I didn't bring any things, and I didn't book a hotel. I planned to leave immediately. But I didn't expect Mashiro not to want to." She smiled. "As you can see, Mr. Renji, I'm now a beautiful, homeless foreign girl. Will you take me in?"
Renji shrugged. "That's the only way. Anyway, you're Mashiro's friend. She's worried about you, she's just angry that you don't support her."
"Thank you, Mr. Renji. Will you take me to your room?" She winked, looking open, but her body was trembling slightly. She was nervous.
Renji rolled his eyes. "You're thinking too much. I have a girlfriend. How could I let you stay in my room? There are still some empty rooms on the third floor. You can stay there."
"Alright, no problem!" Rita replied with a funny smile. At the same time, she felt a little frustrated. Renji's unaffected attitude made her doubt her charm.
