Chapter 410: Remember to Return Early
Facing her question, Ren couldn't easily explain, so he simply handed his phone to Gabriel and asked her to see for herself.
"Is she in danger?"
Seeing the urgency in the message, Gabriel quickly understood why his reaction was so significant.
"Not too much."
Ren used two superpowers, [Positioning] and [Perception], to ensure that Rizu was at home.
At the same time, he also sensed that she was the only person in her home, and there was no presence of anyone else.
In other words, she might not be attacked by humans.
He didn't use the superpower [Spy] to directly see what was happening to Rizu. Besides, if she wasn't in danger but saw something he shouldn't see, it would be considered a privacy violation.
"Let me go and check."
After taking the phone from Gabriel, Ren prepared to leave.
Kamikawa Ren: [Okay]
To reassure Rizu, he also answered specifically.
"I'll go with you too."
After hesitating for a moment, Gabriel made a decision.
After all, she was an angel and could handle some dangers more than enough.
"No, I can go alone." Ren refused.
If Gabriel followed, it would be difficult for him to use his superpowers to solve the problem.
"This..."
Seeing him firmly refusing, Gabriel was a bit puzzled.
In this case, she couldn't follow silently, right?
"Kamikawa, do you have the talisman I gave you before?"
Gabriel suddenly thought of something and made sure.
"Bring that."
Currently, Ren was already wearing his shoes, so he answered casually.
"It's okay, send me a message when you get there to explain the situation." Gabriel immediately felt relieved.
As long as Ren kept talisman, it didn't matter if he faced danger.
The magical power contained in it could not only protect Ren but also easily destroy some humans.
"Um."
After leaving Gabriel's house and closing the door, Ren suddenly disappeared.
[Teleportation]
Walking out from a secluded corner and seeing the signboard of Ogata Udon noodle shop, Ren approached.
To get here as quickly as possible and ensure that Rizu was not in danger, he had to use his superpowers.
When he reached the front door, he saw the "Closed" sign hanging on the door, but strangely, all the lights in the noodle shop were on.
Without much thought, Ren knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Rizu's voice came from inside, but for some reason, her voice sounded a bit shaky.
"Kamikawa Ren." Ren answered honestly.
After hurried footsteps, the noodle shop door opened from the inside, and Rizu appeared in front of him wearing a blanket.
"You finally came!"
Seeing Ren standing at the door, Rizu rushed forward and hugged him enthusiastically.
"This..."
Feeling her overwhelming gentleness, Ren was taken aback.
It was the first time he met Rizu so excited.
"What's this?"
After waiting for a while and seeing that she had no intention of letting go, Ren could only proactively ask.
"My dad is not at home today. I wanted to watch a movie and relax. I planned to make myself cry while watching a movie like a typical girl. Then, I went to the DVD store to rent a movie, but it turned out to be a horror movie..."
Lying in his embrace, feeling much safer, Rizu explained in a soft voice.
"You're scared after watching a horror movie, so you asked me to come?"
After understanding it for a moment, Ren concluded.
It seemed like he understood why all the lights were on.
"I'm not scared!! I just feel uninteresting to watch alone."
Rizu didn't admit to being scared, but her body betrayed her because until now, she was still hugging Ren and didn't let go.
"Come in first, it's not good to stand outside continuously."
After a while, Rizu finally let go and gave space for the door.
"Um."
Ren entered.
"Haaa..."
Seeing him sit on the chair, Rizu's fear finally subsided.
Before Ren came, she always felt that her house was full of people, and she didn't dare to look back because she was afraid of seeing something bad when she turned around.
Now she could finally feel relieved.
After sitting down, Ren sent a message to Gabriel.
Kamikawa Ren: [Ogata-san is okay, she's just scared after watching a horror movie]
"Haaa..."
Gabriel who was currently staying at home, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the message.
She was very worried about Ren.
Gabriel: [As long as everything is okay, remember to return early]
Kamikawa Ren: [Yes]
After a brief explanation with Gabriel, Ren looked at Rizu sitting beside him, holding a bowl in her left hand, and grinding something like a white stick in the bowl in her right hand.
"What are you doing?" He asked a bit curiously.
"Making sweet potato paste." Rizu answered gently.
She was preparing the ingredient for udon for tomorrow, diverting her attention to avoid wandering thoughts.
"Oh."
Ren knew about sweet potatoes as an ingredient, but he had never seen peeled sweet potatoes before, so he didn't recognize them for a while.
"Kamikawa-san, can you talk more? I'm a bit nervous."
Seeing Ren not intending to keep talking, Rizu asked.
Even though Ren was already here, she still felt a bit scared if the two of them remained silent.
Especially because she couldn't keep staring at him. What if she didn't notice, and Ren disappeared?
That would be very frightening.
"Yes."
After hesitating for a moment, Ren agreed.
He just wanted to say something. When he thought about this issue, two familiar voices suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Ricchan, I'm here! Are you home?!"
"I came here with Furuhashi-san."
One was Fumino's voice, and the other was Itsuki's, their voices easily distinguishable.
"!!"
The sudden voices from both of them startled Rizu, causing her to lose her grip and drop the bowl.
"Excuse me—"
Seeing the door open, Fumino pushed it until it opened and walked in. Then, she saw Ren and Rizu sitting together. There was a suspicious white object on their legs and the floor.
Fumino: "???"
