"Come on, Gab, put this on."
As Gabriel looked at Ren, Vigne walked up from behind and put a birthday hat on her head.
After touching the hat on her head, Gabriel looked away.
Besides, it wasn't fun to keep looking at her.
Just when Gabriel wanted to ask Vigne about the birthday party, she suddenly realized a very important question.
That is, Ren didn't seem to wish her a happy birthday.
Quickly remembering what had just happened, she was sure she remembered it correctly, but Ren didn't say it.
So, Gabriel looked at Ren again, coughed a little, and tried to get his attention.
"Hm?"
Ren subconsciously looked up.
When she noticed that Ren was looking over, Gabriel was ready to remind him.
Today is her birthday. As her best friend, it would be too much not to wish him a happy birthday.
Before she could speak, Vigne next to her asked, "Gab, are you planning to eat first or eat the cake first?"
"No problem, shouldn't everything be eaten?"
Interrupted before she could speak, Gabriel had no choice but to give a casual answer.
"Makes sense."
Vigne nodded in agreement and sat in a chair near Gabriel.
"Then let's eat first, but remember not to eat too much. We'll eat the cake later."
"Yes."
Everyone responded one after another.
"Ittadakimasu."
After saying this, Gabriel picked up chopsticks and put a piece of meat into her bowl.
Because everyone here knew each other, and the table wasn't very big, only enough to accommodate eight people, so they chose to share food.
Putting the meat into her mouth, Gabriel chewed the meat while looking at Ren.
At this stage, it was no longer appropriate to remind Ren, after all she had already started eating, and saying this would definitely embarrass him.
Remembering Ren, she decided to wait for an opportunity before letting him tell her.
"Lose weight... lose weight..."
Fumino looked at the delicious dishes and swallowed her saliva.
During this period, she has controlled her food intake to lose weight, and has not eaten at night for a long time.
Now that this delicious dish was served in front of her, she couldn't control her hands holding the chopsticks.
But when she thought about losing weight, she couldn't reach it.
But the smell of the food was so delicious, she had been pushing it for so long, so it wouldn't matter if she ate a little?
Currently, Fumino was experiencing a fierce ideological struggle in her heart.
On one side was the angel who advised her not to eat, and on the other side was the devil who told her that it was okay to eat.
"Fumino, why aren't you eating?"
Rizu who was sitting next to her, noticed something strange about her and asked curiously.
"Because I've lost weight recently and I'm worried that I'll gain weight if I eat it, so I'm considering whether to eat it or not." Fumino turned around and asked sadly, "Ricchan, do you think I should eat it?"
She decided to let Rizu help her make a decision because she really couldn't make up her mind.
"Eat." Rizu pushed up her glasses, "Haven't you jogged in the morning lately? As long as you don't eat too much, you can burn fat through morning jogging."
"That's right."
After being reminded, Fumino suddenly woke up.
She runs in the morning to exercise every day, even if she eats a little tonight, it doesn't matter, as long as she continues to run in the morning.
After all, it was Gabriel's birthday party. It would be bad if she didn't eat anything.
Hence, no matter how she thought about it, it made sense for her to eat.
Having found a suitable excuse for herself, Fumino couldn't wait to pick up a piece of ribs she had been eyeing for a long time and put it in her mouth.
"Delicious..."
Fumino showed an expression of great joy.
"Haha, is this human? You actually need to use that inefficient method to control your weight…" Satania who was sitting across from Fumino, did not hide the sarcasm in her words.
"Oh? Could it be Satania-san, do you have an efficient method?"
Fumino quickly grasped the gist of her words and asked hurriedly.
"No," Satania said with disdain, "I am the future ruler of the demon world. No matter how much food I eat, it won't affect me one bit."
"…"
In an instant, Fumino felt that the meat in front of her was no longer delicious.
If she understood correctly, what Satania said just now was to show that she would not gain weight no matter how much she ate.
Suddenly she wanted to hit someone!
Ren who was sitting in front of them, watched all this silently, without any intention of speaking.
This was his first time eating with so many girls, and it was truly a good experience.
It was much better than eating alone while he was imprisoned.
Sure enough, it would be better if it was more lively.
Regarding the fact that he didn't talk much, Ren wasn't worried that this would make him special.
Because Itsuki next to him didn't say much and just continued eating.
That's why Ren was so relieved, as long as he wasn't the only one who didn't speak.
While eating slowly, Ren didn't forget to observe their movements and reactions and analyze the meaning of their words.
Even though today is Gabriel's birthday, he can't stop studying.
As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
"Time to eat cake."
Feeling almost finished eating, Vigne brought the cake and lit the candles.
Everyone stood up, came to Gabriel, and surrounded her.
Raphiel approached the wall and turned off the lights before walking over.
After the lights were turned off, the room became dark, only the light of the candles on the cake was still flickering.
"Happy birthday..."
Vigne started, and then everyone started singing along, except Ren.
Since he couldn't sing and had never sung before, he had to open his mouth along with them and lip-sync so as not to get caught.
"All of you..."
Gabriel covered her face, the corners of her eyes slightly red.
She obviously forgot her birthday and never told them when it was before, but they still knew about her birthday and even threw her a birthday party.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't impressed.
All she could say about this was how nice it was to have such a group of friends.
But this touching emotion suddenly diminished after seeing Ren.
Because Gabriel could see that Ren was not singing, but lip-syncing.
