147 Gabriel: Can you sing me happy birthday?

"Correct."

Ren nodded.

Once Vigne and the others left, they were the only two left in the room.

"Hehe, wrong answer," Gabriel jumped out of bed and walked towards him unsteadily, "Actually, you are the only one in the room."

"…"

Ren didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

"Eh? Why don't you ask me why I said that?"

Gabriel was dissatisfied with Ren's reaction and tried to correct him.

"Why?"

Ren asked cooperatively.

"Because I'm an angel!" Gabriel said proudly with her hands on her hips, "You didn't expect that, did you?"

"…"

He thought Gabriel would say something, but this was the result?

When he first met Gabriel, Ren already knew her identity as an angel.

Not surprised at all.

"Don't you believe it? Then watch!"

Gabriel thinks Ren's silence means he doesn't believe what she says, so she plans to prove herself.

With a flash of golden light, Gabriel's outfit changed from a red jumpsuit to a white angel outfit. A pair of white wings appeared behind her, and at the same time, an angel crown emitting a soft golden light appeared on her head.

"Kamikawa, look."

Gabriel turned in front of Ren so he could see clearly.

"Um."

Ren looked at her very carefully.

This was the first time he saw Gabriel dressed like this, and it was also the first time he saw an angel dressed up, so he was still very curious.

While looking at her, Ren thought about why Gabriel became like this.

Normally, Gabriel would never say that she was an angel, nor would she behave in such a strange way. But now, in order to prove that she was an angel, she deliberately changed.

Sure enough, is it because she hasn't realized yet?

"Dizzy."

Gabriel stopped spinning, stumbled a few steps, and managed to stand up straight through her own efforts.

This forced Ren, who initially wanted to help, to put down his hands.

"Hey, Kamikawa, do you believe that I am an angel now?"

Gabriel didn't forget that she had to prove her identity to Ren.

"Believe."

"That's good."

Gabriel laughed, not knowing what she was laughing at.

Looking at Gabriel, who didn't know what she was thinking, Ren was considering whether to use his superpowers to sober her up and prevent her from continuing to be confused.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

After all, he didn't have a good reason to explain how he made her conscious.

"By the way, I almost forgot about the original."

At this moment, Gabriel suddenly thought of something and raised the trumpet.

"Today is my birthday, let's celebrate with this!"

After saying that, Gabriel put the trumpet to her mouth and might blow it at any time.

Ren looked at the trumpet in her hand in confusion. He could feel the magic power from the horn which was quite great for a human, but to him, it was almost nothing.

This made him curious about what would happen after the trumpet sounded.

Since Gabriel said it was a celebration, it must be very lively.

With this in mind, Ren did not intend to stop her, but instead began to look forward to it.

"No, I can't."

Gabriel looked at Ren, then at the trumpet in her hand, then said solemnly: "If I blow it, Kamikawa, you will die."

"…"

Sure enough, Gabriel had not yet regained consciousness and could even say that he was going to die.

Ren was an almighty Esper, a truly invincible existence, how could he die just because Gabriel blew her trumpet?

"Ehehe..."

Gabriel smiled and put away her trumpet, then her wings and halo disappeared, and her clothes returned to a red tracksuit.

Seeing her increasingly strange behavior, Ren thought for a moment and brought over the pain relief soup that Vigne had made before.

On the way there, he used his superpowers to reheat the cold painkiller soup to the appropriate temperature.

"Drink this."

Ren handed over the bowl.

"What's this?"

Gabriel tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Hangover soup."

"Don't want to!"

Gabriel shook her head like a rattle, her resistance evident.

After being rejected, Ren didn't know what to do.

If Gabriel didn't want to drink, he couldn't force her.

So Ren was ready to give up.

"Except—"

But Gabriel changed the topic, lengthened her voice, and deliberately feigned silence, hoping she would continue.

"?"

Ren didn't intend to answer, he just stared at her, waiting for her to finish.

"Unless you wish me a happy birthday!"

After waiting for a long time, before Ren could ask, Gabriel muttered what she hadn't finished.

Until now, she still felt bad because Ren didn't wish her a happy birthday.

"Gabriel, happy birthday."

After looking at it for a long time, Ren slowly spoke and said it seriously.

"Um."

Gabriel nodded in satisfaction, then took the bowl, sat beside the bed, and drank siply.

Ren stood beside her, quietly waiting for her to finish drinking.

"Here, finish drinking."

Gabriel returned the empty bowl to Ren.

After putting down the bowl, Gabriel's voice came again.

"Kamikawa, isn't it time to sleep now?"

Gabriel didn't know what she was thinking, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Yes."

Ren walked over and looked at the clock, it was indeed time to sleep.

"Then sing me a lullaby."

After Gabriel heard the answer she wanted, she couldn't wait to make the request.

"I don't know how to sing."

Ren answered honestly.

If he could sing, he could fulfill Gabriel's request.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Just sing Happy Birthday, which is what they just sang to me," Gabriel pouted, "You're not even singing to me now."

Ren didn't expect Gabriel to realize that he wasn't singing just now, he thought he had done a good job.

"I won't mind even if you don't sing well!"

Gabriel looked at him expectantly, her eyes sparkling, and her tone becoming softer.

"May I?"
