Gabriel's House.
Ren sat obediently beside Gabriel, waiting quietly for her to finish playing the game.
This afternoon, after he, Fumino and the others finished eating and teaching. them, Ren went back to looking for Gabriel.
The stalking problem must be resolved as soon as possible.
Fumino and the others didn't offer any meaningful solutions at all, so Ren could only place all his hopes on Gabriel.
"Dead..."
Seeing the dead game character on the screen, Gabriel put down the mouse and turned to Ren.
"Kamikawa, what do you want from me today?"
Ren didn't usually come to see her, he usually came when she invited him.
Now that he came on his own initiative, Gabriel felt that there must be something wrong with Ren's arrival.
After all, the reason he came to see her last time was to help him become an ordinary person.
Gabriel just didn't know what his purpose was in coming to see her this time.
"I have a friend who is followed by a girl. What does this mean?" Ren continues to use the "I have friends" question.
Since he had said it once before, he said it quite fluently now.
"Hah? Do you have other friends besides me?" Gabriel said in surprise, but her focus was a little different.
As Ren's best friend, Gabriel doesn't believe that he can make any friends other than her.
Considering his strange personality, she was the only one willing to be friends with him.
At this time, Gabriel was still very confident.
"…"
Ren was silent.
Because Gabriel was right, he didn't have any other friends.
But he could never admit it. If he admitted it, wouldn't he tell her that he was being followed?
He didn't want to reveal the fact that he wasn't an ordinary person to Gabriel.
But facing her rhetorical question, Ren didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to run away.
Seeing that Ren was reluctant to answer, Gabriel had a guess, so she asked tentatively: "Kamikawa, is the friend you are talking about yourself?"
"…"
Ren lowered his head and remained silent.
He was starting to regret why he had rushed to look for Gabriel and tried to trick her with cheap lies.
Actually he didn't mean to say that at first, but when he experimented with this method in the cafe, Fumino and the others didn't know.
This gave him the illusion that Gabriel couldn't hear him either.
This made him come looking for Gabriel without thinking carefully.
At this point, Ren really didn't know how to explain it better, especially since he wasn't good with words.
Seeing his reaction, Gabriel was now 100% sure that the friend Ren was talking about was himself.
Based on her observations, she summarized an important habit of Ren.
Meaning, whenever Ren encountered a question he couldn't answer, he would stop talking.
Just like now.
This means that Ren is avoiding this problem.
That's how Gabriel believes.
As for why Ren didn't say that he was being followed, Gabriel could immediately guess the reason.
Ren was pursuing ordinary things, Gabriel would easily conclude that he must be saying this just to pretend to be an ordinary person.
However, she didn't expect Ren to be followed by a girl.
At the same time, she was also curious why the girl was following him?
It was clear that Ren looked very ordinary after wearing glasses, he didn't seem to have the good looks that girls would follow.
It's a different story if Ren takes off his glasses.
And most importantly, he actually chose to ask her the question.
Gabriel had only been in this world a short time, how would she know what that meant?
Heaven never teaches such things!
Initially, she wanted to pretend and make a fool of him, but when she thought about what she said to Ren at that time, she couldn't do that.
This was still the first question he asked since then, if the answer was not good enough, how could she make him trust her in the future?
In order to maintain her reliable image in Ren's eyes, Gabriel began to think about how to give him the right advice.
After thinking hard for a long time, Gabriel couldn't think of a better way.
The only way that made her feel reliable was to ask Ren not to do anything and continue acting the same, then she would find a way to get the girl to stop following him.
Whatever it is, let's ask for more information first.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to think of a suitable solution just because a girl was following him.
Glancing at Ren who still had his head lowered, Gabriel said deliberately: "Well, I must have guessed wrong. After all, Kamikawa was very ordinary. How can a girl follow you? Must be your friend, right?"
Gabriel could be said to be very familiar with Ren.
Let's just call him normal.
"Um."
Hearing this, Ren nodded quickly.
This is it!
How is he so ordinary and followed by a girl?
Even though he didn't want to admit it, it was true that he was being followed by a girl.
After comforting Ren, Gabriel continued: "Since your friend is being followed by a girl, that means that girl must have a certain goal for your friend."
If there was no goal, how could the girl follow Ren for no reason?
In short, this sentence is just complete nonsense.
But it was enough to fool Ren first.
"That's right."
Ren felt that what Gabriel said made sense, and they must have a certain purpose in following him.
As for the purpose, he didn't know yet.
"What should my friend do?" He asked.
After almost being exposed last time, Ren naturally couldn't say anything wrong now.
"It's hard to say. I don't know your friend well enough to give you suitable advice."
In order to keep her emotions in check, Gabriel had no choice but to continue acting with him.
"…"
Ren thinks Gabriel is right.
If only relying on the little information just said, Gabriel really couldn't give any suitable advice.
So, would he tell her more information?
But the problem was that his friend was himself, so it was difficult for him to explain.
Is it possible to use other clever ways to describe yourself?
It's a bit difficult.
Seeing Ren not speaking, Gabriel said plainly: "However, since he is your friend, you should know something about him, right?"
