Chapter 375: Do You Want to Try It?
"That's right."
Gabriel had no intention of hiding it and immediately admitted.
When she saw that Raphiel wasn't sleeping next to her, her first reaction was that Raphiel went to look for Ren.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked at the bed from the beginning.
"So, are you disappointed that I didn't go?"
Raphiel lay beside her, covering herself with a blanket. Since the curtains were tightly closed, there wasn't much light in the room, so Gabriel couldn't see her expression.
However, judging from her past appearances, Raphiel should still have an unexpected smile on her face now.
"No, it actually makes me feel relieved."
Gabriel straightened her blanket and lay down again. Her movement when she got up was a bit too big, causing the blanket to fall onto Raphiel's hand.
"So that's it. Rest assured, I will never attack Kamikawa at night before you sleep..." As if to reassure her, Raphiel comforted her.
"No wonder you want to stay at Kamikawa's house." Gabriel squinted her eyes so that she could see Raphiel's face clearly. "If you really left, I would really kill you."
"Because you said that, I have no choice but to give up." Raphiel yawned and closed her eyes. "Well then, I'll go to sleep. Good night."
"Good night."
Seeing her agree so easily, Gabriel was a bit puzzled about what she was planning, but seeing her actually fall asleep, she answered.
Even so, Gabriel remained vigilant against her.
Who knows if this is her last choice.
With this in mind, Gabriel became more cautious.
The next morning.
"Wake up, Gabriel."
Gabriel opened her eyes dazedly and saw Raphiel lying beside her with a smile on her face, gently calling her to wake up.
"Hmm~"
Sitting up, she found that Ren and Satania were already awake. Gabriel struggled to stand, but her body was trembling, and it seemed like she could fall at any moment.
"Gabriel, it seems like you didn't get enough sleep."
Seeing her like this, Raphiel embraced Gabriel's shoulder to prevent her from falling.
"It's not because of you." Gabriel turned to look at Raphiel and said discontentedly.
Last night, to prevent Raphiel from attacking Ren at night, she didn't sleep all night. She didn't even know when she fell asleep, so how could she sleep soundly.
"I'm sorry." Raphiel apologized first, then changed the topic and continued, "But, are you a little too worried? Didn't I tell you that I have given up?"
"..."
After staring at her for a moment, Gabriel didn't answer, but just released Raphiel's support and ran to Ren's side.
"Kamikawa, I'm sorry, let's wait until the weekend to talk about the knee pillow." Pulling the edge of his clothes to calm herself down, Gabriel apologized in a low voice.
What she originally wanted to do was to give Ren a knee pillow after she returned and fulfill her promise at Vigne's house.
But because of Satania and Raphiel, she never found a suitable opportunity and could only fail in that regard.
"Yes."
Ren didn't care about this at all.
He didn't need to feel the knee pillow; it didn't matter even if Gabriel didn't give him a knee pillow.
"Um."
Realizing that there was nothing strange in his expression, Gabriel felt relieved and brought Raphiel and Satania back to her house to bathe.
After that, under Gabriel's caution, the day finally passed.
······
Time passed, and it was Saturday.
"It should be here."
After confirming the location, Ren began to search near the station's entrance.
Today was the day he promised to go to the museum with Miku.
Since the museum Miku wanted to visit with him was not here, and they needed to take a bus there, the meeting place was chosen at the station's entrance.
Perhaps because it was the weekend, the crowd at the station was much higher than usual.
Fortunately, he clarified her location, so Ren quickly found Miku hiding under the shade of a tree, wearing headphones and playing with her phone.
Different from usual, today she wasn't wearing a uniform but a light blue vest, a short-sleeved white shirt, a pleated skirt, and black stockings underneath.
"Good morning."
Approaching her, Ren said softly.
"Hm?"
Miku didn't hear his voice, but realizing that the area in front of her became dark, she then saw someone coming and raised her head to see the person.
"Kamikawa... Ren, good morning."
After realizing it was Ren, Miku took off her headphones, hung them around her neck, and greeted with a soft voice.
"Ren?"
Ren noticed the difference in her address.
"Um, that's right." Miku nodded slightly.
"Oh."
Ren didn't care much about how others addressed him; the reason he looked a bit surprised just now was that this was the first time someone called him that.
"Let's go."
Realizing that he didn't correct it, Miku slightly lifted the corner of her mouth, then pulled him towards the station.
"Did you just listen to music?"
In the process of entering the station, Ren worked hard to find a topic.
He wasn't the same person as before; after such a long time, he could now find some simple topics to chat with them.
"Not really, I just feel that the surroundings are very noisy."
Miku didn't like going out, especially in a busy and noisy station like this.
Thinking about the question Ren just asked, Miku inquired, "Do you like listening to music?"
"I don't dislike it, but I don't hate it either."
He rarely listened to music, but because he often played games with Gabriel, Ren often listened to game BGM.
After buying tickets and waiting for the train to arrive, Miku continued, "I thought you might want to listen to music."
"Why do you think so?"
Ren never liked listening to music, and he even said that he didn't have headphones.
"Because you just looked at my headphones." Miku explained, "And you asked if I'm listening to music now."
"Sorry, this is the first time I've seen you wearing headphones, so I was a little curious." Ren proactively apologized.
After knowing her for so long, this was the first time he had seen Miku wearing headphones, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"It's okay."
Miku took off the headphones and handed them to him. "Do you want to try it?"
