3 Communication Expert

"Yes, I want to know how to get to Nishigahara Apartments."

Gabriel thought that the young man in front of her had not heard clearly what she had just asked, so she smiled and repeated it again.

"That..."

Ren hesitated and didn't know what to say.

He wasn't the kind of man who would be speechless when meeting a beautiful girl, he just wondered what an ordinary person would say at such a time.

To make sure he behaves like a normal person.

He certainly knew the location of Nishigahara Apartments because he also lived in Nishigahara Apartments.

But the question is, can a layman tell a stranger the way?

"You don't seem to know, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Gabriel was ready to ask someone else.

"No, I know."

When Gabriel was about to turn around, Ren stopped her.

In that short moment, he used his telekinesis to reach into his pocket and control his cell phone to search for 'How to answer someone asking for directions'.

Fortunately, the internet speed was fast enough, and the answer was displayed before Gabriel turned around.

Otherwise, Ren wouldn't be able to give an ordinary person's answer.

Because the answer he was looking for was that if he knew it, he would tell the person who asked for directions.

"Do you know?" Gabriel turned her head in surprise, "Then please show me the way. Thank you very much."

"...I also live in that place. I'm getting ready to go home now. You can follow me and we can get back together."

Ren said stiffly based on the answer on his phone.

"Truly?"

Gabriel put her hands together, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"Then thank you for helping lead the way."

"OKAY."

Ren nodded and began to lead.

Gabriel was pulling a box, half a step behind him, and followed him obediently.

Ren glanced at Gabriel, who was following behind him and emitting a holy aura, and for some reason felt something strange about her.

Why is that girl emitting holy light?

As if aware of the doubts of the main body, a certain exploration super power in the body naturally revealed the girl's information.

[Name: Gabriel White Tenma]

[Gender: Female]

[Age: 16]

[Race: Angel]

Because he didn't use it actively, the information displayed was very limited.

However, this is enough.

"Angel?"

This way it can explain why this girl has the Holy Light.

Ren wasn't surprised at all why the angel appeared in front of him.

After all, he was an Esper, so wasn't it normal for creatures like angels to exist in the world?

"Since you also live in Nishigahara Apartments, we will be neighbors from now on."

While Ren was thinking, Gabriel suddenly approached and took the initiative to chat.

"Yes."

Ren's heart was pounding, he was finally going to experience the most difficult part of an ordinary human's life.

Talk to other people!

It is said that many people are unable to communicate with other people normally.

Therefore, this was probably the biggest crisis he had ever faced, which was bigger than the crisis that had just occurred when this girl suddenly came to ask for directions.

However, Ren is still very confident.

The dangerous situation just now had been resolved by him, so things like talking to others should be resolved easily by him.

This time, he decided not to rely on his cell phone and just rely on his own strength to complete the conversation with the other person.

He couldn't always rely on his cell phone to communicate with others, he had to make progress.

So let's start now.

In order to strengthen his resolve, Ren deliberately released the telepathy that had been controlling his cellphone.

"My name is Gabriel White Tenma, can you tell me your name?" Gabriel asked kindly.

(Ask my name?)

(Then I just have to answer it.)

"My name is Kamikawa Ren."

(Wow, chatting with other people is still very simple.)

(As expected of me, I can do things that others can't do easily.)

(I'm like a communication expert)

(Okay, after she finished asking her questions, it was my turn to ask her.)

"Nice name," Gabriel praised with a smile.

"Eh?"

(Wait, isn't it my turn to ask her?)

(Why is she talking?)

(Does she know how to chat with people?)

Ren has no communication skills.

In the past ten years, he had had little interaction with other people, or basically no interaction with other people.

Such people think that when speaking to themselves, a few seemingly insignificant words can arouse their curiosity and cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, these people always wear masks and avoid talking.

Even the teachings given by these people were recorded on video and then shown to him.

This is what created Kamikawa Ren, a creature who does not have the ability to communicate.

"Thank You."

Anyway, say thank you first, Ren remembers being praised by others and wants to say thank you.

"Your name is also very nice." After thinking about it, Ren added.

Since he had already praised her, it wouldn't be wrong if she praised his back, right?

"Um."

Gabriel smiled and nodded.

"???"

(Hey, why don't you say thanks?)

(I praise you!)

Is this person really an angel?

Isn't that some kind of devil?

Forget it, the communication is over, so he doesn't need to worry so much anymore.

As Ren was thinking about this, Gabriel's voice continued to sound.

"By the way, do you know where Shuchi'in Academy is?"

"Shuchi'in Academy?"

Ren repeated it subconsciously.

"Yes, because I will be going to school there after school starts, so I want to know the location of the school," Gabriel answered softly.

"I know, it's just east of the apartment, quite close, and I'm also a new student at Shuchi'in Academy."

After being silent for a while, Ren reluctantly gave the most ordinary sounding answer.

This was adapted from what he said when asking for directions.

"Is it true? Then we will be classmates from now on," Gabriel's voice was full of excitement.

At this point, Ren no longer knew what to say.

But he should react like a normal person.

(Cell phone save me!)

(Let me look up what ordinary people say when communicating with others!)

Just when Ren was about to repeat the previous operation, he realized that his telekinesis had been released by him.

And the most important thing is that he can only use one of his superpowers once a day.

In other words, he could no longer seek help via his cell phone.

Of course he has other superpowers to help him out of this predicament, but that takes time.

But the current situation didn't give him enough time to use his other super powers to get out of this embarrassing situation.

It has been used when time stops at convenience stores.

So can he go back in time?

Gabriel continued: "Kamikawa-san, can I call you that?"

"Um."

Facing Gabriel, Ren gave up his struggle.

He chose to reduce his need to communicate with other people, he doesn't need to be able to communicate with other people, he just needs to be able to agree with other people like ordinary people.

He no longer wished he could talk to other people like ordinary people.

Reason: It is too difficult to communicate with others.

Come on, slow down...

"Kamikawa-san, you can also call me Tenma-san or Gabriel-san."

"Um."
