"Hey, are you serious?"
Gabriel always thought that Raphiel was just talking like before, but she never thought that Raphiel would go this far.
"Could it be that Gabriel always thinks I only talk but don't act?" Raphiel showed a very uneasy expression, "Then I'm really embarrassed."
"It seems I underestimated you," Gabriel's expression became a little more serious.
"Gabriel, aren't you angry?"
Raphiel was a little surprised to see Gabriel's reaction.
"Because I knew Raphi was lying to me again like before," Gabriel looked down at the water in her hand and explained, "There's no way you can deliver water to Kamikawa."
"So you think so?" Raphiel nodded thoughtfully, "I think I've said things like this too many times before, so you're used to it?"
"Just like the story of the man who cried wolf, if you lie too often, no one will believe you." Gabriel accepted her words, but still looked at the water in her hands, "So, I don't trust you anymore. Um, it would be better to say that it would be strange if I was stupid enough to trust you again like before."
"That makes sense."
Raphiel nodded and turned to Ren who was running: "But unfortunately, what I said this time is true…"
Before she finished speaking, Gabriel jumped up and took the water in her hand while her attention was not on her.
But because she had just finished running a thousand meters, it was getting harder for her to jump like this, she didn't have the strength to take in any more water and could only endure it.
"Gabriel, is this what you mean by not trusting me to deliver water to Kamikawa?"
After regaining consciousness and seeing Gabriel standing in front of her, Raphiel complained.
(You are obviously very worried, but you still pretend not to care and talk to me for a long time, it's really you!)
"I'm just doing this as a precaution," Gabriel strengthened her hand a little more, but Raphiel still held the water tightly.
"I feel like my trust has been betrayed," Raphiel said helplessly.
"Do you dare to talk about trust?" Gabriel accused, "If I really want to say it, you were the one who betrayed my trust. How could I have a good friend like you!"
After saying that, Gabriel looked at Satania who was standing aside and didn't know what was going on, and ordered: "Satania, stop her immediately and don't let her go."
"Hah? As the future Lord of the Demon Realm, why should I listen to what you just said?"
Even though she didn't understand the situation, Satania still made a pose and rejected Gabriel.
"Don't you want to compete with me? As long as you help me stop Raphi, I will agree to compete with you," Gabriel promised.
"Is it true?" Satania was a little interested.
Gabriel pointed at Vigne with her other hand: "Of course it is true. We can let Vigne testify."
"Okay, I can testify," Vigneter was stunned for a moment then said.
"Then it's settled."
After confirming that Gabriel would agree to compete with her, Satania walked behind Raphiel and hugged her from behind, making her unable to move.
"Gabriel, you are actually asking for foreign aid."
After being controlled, Raphiel still continued to smile.
"I can't help it. Who told me that I don't have much energy left?" Gabriel said matter-of-factly.
"Forget it, then I won't deliver water."
After some symbolic struggle, Raphiel let go of the hand holding the water.
"Eh?"
This made Gabriel a little surprised, she thought Raphiel would continue to fight, but she just gave up.
"But if I don't deliver the water, what will happen to this water bottle?"
Seeing the stunned Gabriel, Raphiel asked.
"Mmmm..."
Gabriel didn't think about what to do with the water bottle for a moment.
What she was thinking about just now was stopping Raphiel from delivering water or getting water.
But after the water actually reached her hands, she was a little afraid to leave.
"By the way, Kamikawa has almost finished his run. He should be waiting for me there to bring him water~" Sensing her hesitation, Raphiel proactively reminded her.
"You talk so much, don't you just want me to go and deliver water to Kamikawa?"
Gabriel wasn't stupid, and she could guess what Raphiel was really thinking with just a little thought.
After all, if she really wanted to go and deliver water to Ren, she could have run away long before she got the water.
At that time, her physical strength alone couldn't stop Raphiel at all.
"I've never said that." Raphiel shook her head, "It's just that if Kamikawa asked me why I didn't deliver water to him, I would say that Gabriel didn't let me go to deliver water."
"Of course, if you don't want this to happen, you can ask Satania to let me go, then I'll bring him some water."
"…"
At this, Gabriel fell silent.
It had to be said that Raphiel's approach really put her in a dilemma, she only had two choices: give it to Ren or let Raphiel give it to Ren.
She believed that as long as she chose not to send it to anyone, Ren would not need to ask, and Raphiel would definitely take the initiative to say that it was her fault.
As for asking Vigne or Satania to help convey it, is there a difference between asking Raphiel to convey it?
While she was still thinking, Raphiel's voice came again.
"Kamikawa's run is over, Gabriel, have you made a decision?"
"Alright."
Finally, Gabriel made a decision and walked towards Ren with water.
Isn't it just delivering water?
What is the problem?
"Gabriel, you didn't bring a towel, remember to wipe Kamikawa's sweat!" Raphiel held a towel in her hand, "Since we have decided to deliver water, we must do it completely."
"OKAY!"
Gabriel didn't care, so she turned around, took the towel in her hand, and walked over there again.
But before she took two steps, she saw a girl with long pink hair holding a bottle of water in her hand, running towards Ren and handing him the water.
She recognized the girl, Itsuki, who was sitting behind Ren.
"…"
After seeing the water and towel in her hands, Gabriel didn't know what to do.
Since someone had gone to bring him water, she didn't need to go there.
"I was defeated by someone else. I didn't expect Kamikawa to be so popular."
Raphiel also saw this scene, sighed helplessly, and said to Gabriel:
"See, Gabriel, this is the result of your hesitation."
