"Besides, I don't like maids."
After saying this one last time, Ren decided not to pay attention to Raphiel and turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, Kamikawa, do you have anything to do?"
Seeing this, Raphiel hurriedly followed and asked curiously.
"There isn't any."
Seeing her stop talking about the maid, Ren answered honestly.
Raphiel followed him and looked sideways at him: "Then can you go shopping with me today? It just so happens that I also want to discuss something with you."
"No, I don't like shopping."
Even though Ren really wanted to know what Raphiel wanted to talk to him about, he wasn't that curious as long as she wanted to go shopping with him.
"Then what do you do?"
Seeing him looking around, Raphiel asked doubtfully.
"Wandering around."
"Then how is this different from going shopping?" Raphiel groaned, then said, "Then can I go for a walk with you? Let's chat with you about some things."
"Can."
If someone wanted to hang out with him, of course Ren wouldn't refuse.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time the two of us are alone together?"
As if remembering something, Raphiel spoke about this while smiling.
"Yes."
That's true. The first time the two of them met, there was always someone else present. This was really the first time the two of them were alone together.
"If that's the case, then I have to think carefully about what I want to talk about."
After saying this, Raphiel closed her mouth and did not continue talking, she walked slowly side by side with him, as she had just said, she wanted to think about what they wanted to talk about.
"Um."
Ren wasn't in a rush, he just waited calmly for what Raphiel said.
"After much thought, it would be better to start chatting with Gabriel." After walking for a while, Raphiel chuckled and said, "After all, Gabriel is a good friend of both of us."
When she said this, she also emphasized the word 'good friend'.
"Yes."
Ren didn't really care where Raphiel wanted to start the conversation.
He wasn't good at chatting in the first place, since Raphiel was willing to decide on the topic of chat, he definitely wouldn't mind.
"Let me ask you a simple question first. Is there anything strange with Gabriel lately?"
Raphiel asked the first question with a smile.
"There isn't any."
After thinking about it carefully, Ren answered.
During the time he spent with her, Gabriel's behavior could be said to be very normal.
"Is it true?" Raphiel frowned, as if she didn't believe him. "For example, she peeks at you every now and then, doesn't she?"
"She peeked at me, but is this considered strange?" Ren asked uncertainly.
When Gabriel peeked at him, he would naturally notice, but as time went by, he didn't really care.
"This..."
Hearing this, Raphiel subconsciously wanted to complain, but when she remembered that she was not a character who liked to complain, she resisted the urge to complain.
However, even so, she couldn't help but say: "It seems that Kamikawa and Gabriel are very good, and they don't even care about such things."
"Of course," Ren admitted without hesitation.
They were good friends, and having a good relationship was normal.
"…"
In this case, Raphiel didn't want to say anything.
It was Gabriel who peeked at Ren. It goes without saying what that means.
But this guy didn't care at all, and didn't even think about why Gabriel was peeking at him, which was really annoying.
Are all guys boring like this?
"Let me change the question. If Gabriel were your girlfriend, would you be happy?"
Seeing his calm face, Raphiel decided to ask some direct questions.
When dealing with a slow guy like that, it was better to be more direct.
"Eh?"
Ren was stunned, and his steps obviously stopped.
"Tell me, it's just a hypothesis."
Realizing her question seemed to have an effect, Raphiel continued asking.
"No, that won't happen."
After thinking for a long time, Ren gave the answer.
"No?" Raphiel narrowed her eyes, and her tone became a little more serious, "Then can you tell me the reason why you can't?"
"Because then I wouldn't have any good friends," Ren said softly.
"...Just that?"
Raphiel doubted whether she had heard wrong.
"Um."
"I suddenly feel a little sympathy for Gabriel."
Raphiel initially thought Ren had a complicated reason for being unhappy, but it turned out it was just because he and Gabriel were no longer best friends.
Doesn't he know that girlfriends are closer than best friends?
"Why do you sympathize with her?" Ren asked with concern.
He was still very concerned about Gabriel's affairs.
Looking at Ren in front of her, Raphiel asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't know," Ren said sincerely.
"I suddenly don't want to chat with you anymore. If I continue chatting with you, my image will be damaged."
Seeing that Ren didn't understand that he was the culprit, Raphiel said helplessly.
It makes sense that the character who likes to complain is Vigne, after all Vigne likes to complain, but after chatting with Ren for so long, Raphiel will become the character who likes to complain.
The main reason is that every word Ren says is so funny that it's hard not to make people complain about it.
"Good."
After hearing what Raphiel said, Ren gave up on continuing to ask.
After calming down, Raphiel returned to her usual calm demeanor and continued to ask: "It's okay, I'll just change the question. If the two of us got together, would you feel happy?"
"Not sure."
Ren shook his head in confusion.
He could never have imagined how he would feel after having a girlfriend now.
"Wait a minute, you mean, if we get together, you will probably be very happy, right?" Raphiel quickly understood what he meant.
"It may be." Ren had no intention of avoiding this question.
"I don't know why, but my mood suddenly feels a little strange."
Feeling her heartbeat speed up, Raphiel looked at Ren with complicated eyes.
Is this what it feels like to stab a good friend in the back?
Very interesting!
While it's fun to imagine, what would it feel like to actually do it?
