"NO."
Ren casually wiped his hair, which was not wet at all, with a towel, then asked: "What is the Golden Week holiday?"
"?"
Gabriel was stunned.
She thought Ren wanted to go somewhere, and wanted to call her to go with her.
In the end, he didn't even know what the Golden Week holiday was.
Luckily, she had gotten used to his lack of common sense and wasn't surprised anymore.
"Golden Week is a seven-day holiday from April 29th to May 5th, exactly one week," Gabriel explained to him after tearing open a bag of potato chips.
"Oh."
Ren understood now.
It's just a long holiday, what's the best thing to do?
Seven days wandering? But...
After thinking about it, Ren looked at Gabriel who was eating potato chips.
He wanted to ask her if she had any plans for the holidays and if she could accompany him to the places he wanted to go.
After all, there were some places where he really didn't know what to do alone.
It would be great if someone could accompany him.
Feeling his gaze fall on her, Gabriel hesitated and handed him the potato chips in her hand.
"…"
Seeing the potato chips she brought, Ren took one and put it in his mouth.
"By the way, it seems Vigne told me about this Golden Week before."
While munching on potato chips, Gabriel took out her cell phone and looked for the chat history.
"Ah, I found it." Gabriel looked at the phone and said: "She asked me, do we have any plans for Golden Week? Do we want to travel together? But you weren't here when she asked me, and then I said, let's talk about this after we get back to school."
"You should be free during Golden Week, would you agree to Vigne?" Putting down the cell phone, Gabriel looked at him and asked.
"I have time," Ren answered.
"That means you agree?" Gabriel guessed, "If you want to go, then I will go with you."
"Yes." Ren nodded.
Did Gabriel agree to go because he wanted to go?
It feels very smooth.
"However, I won't tell Vigne now," Gabriel stretched, "If I tell her now, she will definitely drag me to discuss where to go. It's better to wait until Monday to avoid telling her. It takes up my time to play games.
"Um."
Gabriel controlled the mouse and continued playing.
"Gabriel, do you have time during Golden Week?"
After waiting for a while and realizing that she had no intention of speaking, Ren took the initiative to ask.
Even though he had promised Vigne to go on a trip together, he still wanted to go to places with Gabriel that he had never been to.
It's hard to get a vacation like that, and it would be a shame not to ask.
"What? Do you want to take me out to play too?"
Gabriel turned her head and immediately guessed what Ren wanted to ask.
"Yeah," Ren admitted directly.
"As long as it's not a place I hate, it's fine to go out with you once." After thinking about it for a while, Gabriel agreed, "Anyway, the vacation is only seven days."
"Can I go to the beach?" Ren asked.
So far, he has never seen the sea with his own eyes, so he is still very curious.
"Besides, I didn't ask for a swimsuit. It would be too troublesome to buy another one then," Gabriel refused without hesitation.
"Mountain climbing?"
Since Gabriel doesn't want to go to the beach, let's go somewhere else.
Mountain climbing is also an activity that Ren wants to experience.
"It was very tiring. Why are we climbing in this hot weather?" Gabriel complained, "It's better to stay home and play games with the AC on."
"Zoo?"
Ren had never been to this place, so it was fine to go there just once.
"What's so interesting about zoos? Isn't it just a bunch of animals?" Gabriel continues to refuse.
"Observatory?"
"Stargazing is boring."
"Couples restaurant?"
"No, it's strange."
"Cinema?"
"I don't like watching movies."
"Video arcades?"
"Wait a minute, did you just say something extraordinary?"
At this moment, Gabriel suddenly felt something was wrong, was there a strange place mixed in among the places Ren mentioned?
"?"
Ren thought about it and didn't realize that he said something extraordinary. What he said was a suitable place for two people to visit.
"Okay, maybe I heard it wrong."
Seeing his reaction, Gabriel suspected she had heard wrong.
"Correct."
Ren agreed with his guess.
After all, he obviously didn't say anything outrageous, so Gabriel must have misheard it.
After that, Ren continued to list many places he wanted to visit, but it was difficult to go there alone.
But without exception, all of them were rejected by Gabriel.
"…"
In the end, Ren chose to remain silent.
There seemed to be a lot of things Gabriel didn't like.
"Well… Why don't you go shopping?"
Gabriel also felt that her rejection was too much, so she took the initiative to propose activities that she could accept.
If she goes shopping, she just takes a walk around the neighborhood which is very relaxing.
"Don't want to."
This time it was Ren's turn to refuse.
Even Gabriel couldn't do things like go shopping.
"Then do you want to take a walk with me?"
After thinking for a moment, Gabriel changed her explanation.
"Can."
Although Gabriel didn't promise him to go anywhere during Golden Week, it would be nice if she accompanied him on a trip.
"Then, I will arrange the time."
"Um."
······
Shinomiya Residence.
"Kaguya-sama."
Standing in front of Kaguya's bedroom door, Hayasaka gently knocked on the door after showering and changing clothes.
"Please come in."
Soon, Kaguya's cold voice came from inside.
"Excuse me."
After saying this, Hayasaka opened the door and entered.
"Kaguya-sama, I met Kamikawa Ren on my way back."
After seeing Kaguya who was reading a book, Hayasaka reported the situation to her.
"Oh? What happened?"
Kaguya became interested in what she said, so she closed her book and put it away.
Then, Hayasaka briefly told what had happened.
Considering Ren asked her to keep it a secret, she didn't tell Kaguya about seeing his true appearance.
Other than that, she basically gave a rough outline.
Of course, this also included the fact that she obtained Ren's contact information.
"He came on his own initiative and said he would take you home?"
After listening, Kaguya realized this.
"Yeah," Hayasaka admitted.
"Is he using this behavior to show his kindness to me?" Kaguya could only guess.
