Asumi Wants to Meet Gabriel
She was thrilled to receive such an answer from him.
But...
"You share your time with us, but what about your own time?" Asumi asked very seriously.
"Don't you have evenings and weekends?"
Even after the end of summer vacation and Ren had to play with Gabriel in the evenings, he still had plenty of free time he could use for himself.
"If I follow what you say, I should use the time you use to teach Fumino and the others, right?"
After carefully analyzing, Asumi understood what the other party meant.
"Yes."
Ren nodded.
"Then I understand."
If that's the case, then it's unacceptable.
"But even so, I will still have breakfast with you in the future." Asumi emphasized specifically.
"Okay."
It's not a big deal, so it doesn't matter if Ren agrees to it.
After peacefully eating for a while, Asumi then asked, "By the way, when will your good friend Gabriel be back?"
"August 31st." Ren answered automatically.
"I see."
Asumi responded seriously.
"Senpai, why are you asking this?" Ren was slightly curious about this question.
They had never met before.
Asumi had only heard Gabriel's name a few times from his mouth, logically she shouldn't care when Gabriel would return.
Asumi said vaguely: "I just want to meet her and ask her a few questions."
She really wanted to meet Gabriel, but the essence was not just to meet, but to ask.
Because she had said that even though summer vacation was over, she would still cook for Ren.
Previously, the one responsible for cooking for Ren was Gabriel.
Therefore, she had to ask Gabriel about Ren's daily meal preferences and if there was anything she didn't like.
Gabriel had been cooking for Ren for a long time, so Asumi had to remain vigilant about this habit.
If nothing else happened, she would be the one cooking for Ren in the future, so it was better to know as much as possible about habits that took a long time to learn.
Moreover, Gabriel really hated cooking for Ren and considered it troublesome, so instead of doing this, she better tell herself to take over.
Why not ask Ren directly?
If she could ask, Asumi would have asked long ago. No, it must be said that if she could ask, Fumino and Itsuki would have asked, and she didn't need to ask specifically.
That's why she directed her gaze at Gabriel.
"If Gabriel is willing to go to the water park with us, then you can ask her questions later."
Since he didn't receive a reply from Gabriel, Ren could only respond in an uncertain manner.
"Um, I also happen to want to chat with Gabriel-san."
At that time, Asumi could also ask other things about Ren.
······
After having breakfast with Asumi, Ren returned to Mafuyu's house.
"Sensei, how are you feeling? If you still feel unwell, I can teach you how to make cakes later."
After closing the door and seeing Mafuyu heading to the kitchen, Ren asked.
"It's okay. Like I said, you don't need to worry about me." Mafuyu replied, "There's absolutely no problem in learning how to make cakes today."
"Okay."
Ren entered the kitchen with her.
Not used to wearing an apron, he asked her, "Sensei, besides the flour you crushed, do you have any other flour at home?"
While helping to clean the kitchen, he didn't find any flour placed elsewhere.
"No."
Mafuyu had also just put on an apron, answering weakly after searching around the kitchen.
"It's okay, I have it at home."
To practice making meat buns, Ren collected all kinds of flour at home.
"Sorry for the trouble." Mafuyu thanked him again.
"I'll go home and get the flour. Sensei, please read the tutorial book first and find out everything you need."
Handing the tutorial book to Mafuyu, Ren gave instructions.
"That... Kamikawa-san."
But before he reached the door, Mafuyu stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Ren turned and asked.
"Do you have anything else at home that can be used to make cakes?" Mafuyu said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Probably not."
Ren was making meat buns, how could he make something to make cakes?
"Sensei only prepared one set of ingredients to make cakes?"
It made sense if one had to prepare a few more ingredients before trying it out.
Just like him, to make meat buns, he bought a lot of ingredients at once.
Mafuyu lowered her head and said guiltily, "Embarrassing. I used them all at once in the morning."
"...Then let's go to the mall to buy them together."
After hesitating for a moment, Ren made a decision.
"Eh? I can go by myself, I don't want to bother you!" Mafuyu hurriedly declined, "Just wait for me to return home."
Originally, she wanted to buy them herself and then rush back as soon as possible without causing trouble to Ren.
"Sensei, do you know what you want to buy?"
"It's better if we go together."
Mafuyu hesitated for a moment, then accepted his suggestion.
Although she could buy them based on the tutorial book, she felt a little uneasy about herself based on her last failure.
There was still a possibility of accidentally buying the wrong item.
"Wait a moment. Let me change clothes first."
She was wearing her teacher's uniform now, so it wasn't appropriate to go out like this.
"Okay, I'll go back and get my glasses."
After saying that, Ren took off apron and walked out of the house.
He returned to house and put on glasses again. As he was about to leave, his phone vibrated.
He took out his phone and turned on the screen, only to see a message from Chika appear on the screen.
