章 500: Gabriel Wants Ren to Think for Himself
"Maybe Kamikawa wants to surprise you."
Raphiel said this while also looking at Ren.
"The possibility is still very high."
Chika agrees with that view.
In general, without the girl realizing it, choosing a date location at a place she likes is basically to surprise her.
Hearing what they say, Gabriel complains dissatisfiedly, "Why are you all speaking on his behalf? If you say that, isn't he at fault at all?"
"Kamikawa is not wrong in this matter." Raphiel says with a smile, "Kamikawa, what do you think?"
"Maybe I'm wrong?"
Ren's tone is very uncertain.
Initially, he thought he must have made a mistake to be treated like this.
After thinking for a long time, he only realized that asking Chika to find out what Gabriel likes was a mistake.
Besides, he really didn't know.
But when Raphiel said that, he hesitated a bit and didn't quite understand whether the action was right or wrong.
"You can eliminate that possibility and be more confident; you're not wrong." Raphiel reminds, "Maybe Gab is still happy you did this."
"I'm not happy." Gabriel denies.
What Ren did truly made her happy, and the reason he did it was for herself.
But it's impossible to admit it.
If she admits it, what's the next plan?
This time, she wants to remind him not to be too soft and to think for himself more often, rather than thinking about others.
(Tsundere?)
Listening to Gabriel's standard speech, Chika suddenly gets an idea in her mind.
If that's the issue, then she doesn't need to worry.
"Kamikawa-kun really cares about the date between him and Gabriel-san." Chika adds.
"A date?!"
This word makes Gabriel very concerned.
She never told Ren that it was a date with her.
"Is that true?" Raphiel asks her question precisely, "Fujiwara-san, lying is wrong."
"Of course, it's true. If you don't believe, you can ask Kamikawa-kun."
Chika directs the topic to Ren.
Although she can't see any weaknesses in Raphiel, based on her appearance just now, Gabriel's weakness should be Ren.
She's sure about this.
"Kamikawa, do you really appreciate your date with Gab this weekend?" Raphiel asks quite cooperatively.
At the same time, Gabriel also stares at him, feeling nervous, and at the same time, unwillingly awaits his answer.
"Um."
Ren nods.
If he didn't appreciate this date, he wouldn't ask Chika for help but would choose the location himself.
"Wow."
Seeing him admit it, Raphiel exclaims with a smile.
"See, I told you everything."
Chika pats her chest happily and sighs with relief.
Fortunately, her guess was correct; otherwise, there would be no way to end it.
"Even so, you can't ask Fujiwara-san to find out what I like." This is the real reason for her dissatisfaction.
If she has a place she really wants to go, she doesn't need him to ask; she would just drag Ren there.
With his character and their relationship, Ren would never refuse.
It's a bit exaggerated to say that basically there is no problem.
"I'm sorry." Ren apologizes.
"You don't need to apologize. I didn't explain it at that time. It's not your responsibility." Gabriel emphasizes, "I asked you to choose where you wanted to go."
"..."
Ren doesn't answer.
"Okay, you don't need to be too excited, just explain." Raphiel comforts, "I'm sure Kamikawa will make a good choice this time."
"Indeed."
After venting her dissatisfaction, Gabriel doesn't say anything more.
Then, she realizes another problem.
"By the way, Raphi, whose side are you on? Why did you just defend Kamikawa?" Gabriel suddenly realizes.
Logically, shouldn't Raphiel join in condemning Ren?
"I'm always on your side." Raphiel says seriously.
"But you just spoke on behalf of Kamikawa?"
"It's already very late now; isn't it time for Fujiwara-san to return?"
Raphiel doesn't answer her question and smoothly changes the topic.
"You..."
Gabriel can't complain anymore, so she sighs helplessly and continues to follow her words.
"Fujiwara-san, you can go back now. Do you need us to give you a ride?"
"No, someone will pick me up and will be here soon, so I'll leave first."
Seeing that she finally has a chance to leave, Chika can't wait to stand up and shake her phone, as if she's already prepared.
"I just want to go together. It feels a bit inappropriate for me to continue staying here."
Saying this, Raphiel stands up as well.
"Do you need me to ask the driver to give you a ride?"
Seeing Raphiel following, Chika asks politely.
"No, I can go home by myself. I also have something to buy at the convenience store." Raphiel politely declines.
"Goodbye then."
After leaving Gabriel's house, after waiting for a while and seeing her car pass by, Chika bids farewell.
"Goodbye."
As she gets into the car, Raphiel finally looks away from her and walks towards her house.
As she walks, she thinks about what Gabriel and Ren would say now.
If Gabriel still can't take advantage of such an opportunity, it can only be said that she is too useless.
"Huh? Everyone is gone."
After a while, Gabriel realizes that only she and Ren are left in the room.
"Yes."
Ren stands up, tidies up the table, and sits next to Gabriel very naturally.
"Sorry if my tone just now might have been unpleasant."
After thinking about it earlier, Gabriel starts reflecting on her behavior.
"It's okay." Ren doesn't mind, "I misunderstood your intention."
"..."
After a few moments of silence, Gabriel turns, looks at his side profile, and asks nervously, "Um... Why do you want to go on a date with me this weekend? Didn't we just agree to go out for fun?"
