Bab 311: Come Home with Me
"Drink a glass of juice."
After thinking for a while, Ren chose the simplest drink.
As Fumino had already ordered a large parfait, he didn't need to order anything else, leaving space for dinner.
"Uh."
Fumino struggled to divert her gaze and told the busy waitress what they ordered.
Ren continued to clean his glasses.
"The rain is getting heavier, and more people are entering the store to take shelter."
To avoid staring at him continuously, Fumino observed the outside situation and uttered some irrelevant words to distract her attention.
"Yes."
Due to the sudden storm, many people who couldn't make it home sought refuge in the nearest shops.
Like this dessert shop, many people came.
But Ren wasn't worried about his appearance without glasses being recognized.
After all, it was pouring rain; who chooses this time to go out?
And Nino, the one he worried about the most, couldn't appear here. Earlier, Ren had just finished tutoring them at home. How could Nino suddenly come here?
Even if she came here, she could detect him instantly through perception and put on his glasses.
Sure enough, as he finished cleaning his glasses and put them back on, he didn't encounter anyone he knew.
Knowing Ren had put on his glasses again, Fumino could look at him directly without avoiding like before.
Every time she looked into Ren's eyes, she felt there was a hidden star in them and wanted to find out what was happening with that star.
Fumino loved stars, which is why she was so easily drawn to Ren's eyes.
A while later, Fumino's extra-large parfait order arrived, along with the drinks they ordered.
"When it's raining, it feels very comfortable to sit here and leisurely eat parfait."
After taking a small bite of her parfait, Fumino commented with a smile.
Maybe due to the weather or some other bonus, but she always felt today's parfait was much richer than before.
"Indeed." Ren agreed with her statement.
Although he liked going out, he enjoyed relaxing on rainy days.
"But will we gain weight if we eat too much?" After eating for a while, Fumino suddenly realized this issue.
"I have no idea."
Ren didn't know much about this issue.
Anyway, his weight would never increase because of eating.
"Never mind, if you're happy today, consider it a celebration."
Fumino chose to temporarily forget the unpleasant matter.
"Um."
After giving a casual response, Ren suddenly felt his phone vibrate.
Gabriel: [In heavy rain outside, why haven't you returned? Are you stuck outside because you didn't bring an umbrella?]
Taking out his phone, he saw a message from Gabriel.
Kamikawa Ren: [I didn't bring an umbrella, so I'll return later.]
Actually, if he didn't meet Fumino, he could use his supernatural power to return in the rain.
But with Fumino around, he was restricted and could only wait for the rain to stop before going back.
Gabriel: [Then let me pick you up. Where are you?]
At the same time, Gabriel, sitting in front of the laptop, stood up and started changing when she saw the message Ren replied to.
For her, an angel, heavy rain was nothing.
Kamikawa Ren: [No, the rain is too heavy and dangerous to go out. I'll buy an umbrella and come back.]
Ren rejected Gabriel's offer to come pick him up; it was just heavy rain, so he didn't need someone else's help.
"Dangerous? Does he care about me?"
Seeing the message, Gabriel stopped changing clothes and began to think about how to respond appropriately.
Gabriel: [Okay, come back earlier. If you need me to pick you up, remember to send me a message.]
Gabriel clicked send, discarded her half-changed clothes, jumped onto the bed, and rolled around.
Since Ren didn't allow her to come, she didn't need to force him.
Kamikawa Ren: [Don't worry.]
After replying, Ren put his phone down and focused on dealing with the extra-large parfait in front of him.
"Kamikawa-san, you should eat too. Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to finish this alone." Said Fumino.
If she really ate this extra-large parfait alone, almost 100% of her weight would increase. The only question left was how much weight would increase.
"Okay."
Ren also slightly accelerated his eating.
While casually chatting, they enjoyed the parfait, and it didn't take long for them to finish the extra-large parfait.
"I had a lot of fun today." Fumino leaned back in her chair and said with a laugh.
"That's true."
Ren looked outside and found that the rain showed no signs of stopping, but rather it intensified. So, he asked her, "I'll buy an umbrella and escort you home."
"..."
Fumino, who initially smiled upon hearing the word 'home,' suddenly lost her smile, replaced by a long silence.
Seeing her like this, Ren wondered if he had said something wrong to make Fumino like this.
"My father is at home today, and I don't really want to go back..." Fumino explained slowly.
Then, she pretended to be casual and said to him, "Actually, Kamikawa-san, you can go home alone; don't worry about me, leave me here. When the rain stops, I can go home by myself."
"..."
Ren didn't quite understand why Fumino didn't go back because her father was at home, but since she didn't want to go back, he wouldn't force her to return.
And he couldn't leave her here. It was already very late. In this case, it was very dangerous for a girl to be alone outside.
So, Ren directly invited: "In that case, come home with me."
