148 Gabriel: What happened last night?
"…"
Facing Gabriel's gaze, Ren once again chose to remain silent.
This birthday song is not difficult to sing, the main reason is that he has never sung before and is afraid of not being able to sing well.
Even though he has superpowers that can make his singing sound better, according to him, if he wants to sing happy birthday to Gabriel, he should do it himself, not with superpowers, because it will make him look solemn.
Regarding his silence, Gabriel didn't say anything, she just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Ren's plain and emotionless voice sounded in the room.
"Happy birthday..."
He can't sing and doesn't experience any emotional changes, meaning the birthday song he sings is basically out of tune, and he can only recite the lyrics along with the melody.
But even so, Gabriel was still very happy, her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she hummed softly to help him find the right tune.
In this way, with the cooperation of the two of them, the song ended. Before Ren could speak, Gabriel clapped her hands.
"Very good," Gabrielle commented with a smile.
"No."
Ren felt like he didn't look so good.
He doesn't know much about singing, but he can still make the most basic comparisons.
Comparing what he had just sung with what Vigne and the others had sung before, he knew how bad his singing skills were.
Therefore, he could not accept Gabriel's judgment, as that would give him a false illusion.
"When I say it sounds good, it sounds good," Gabriel's attitude was quite firm, "Anyway, to me, it's good."
"Um."
Since she had already said so, there was no need for her to argue anymore.
Ren just needs to know that if he sings badly, he may stop singing in the future.
"Time to sleep."
Ren didn't forget the conditions under which Gabriel allowed him to sing.
"I know."
Gabriel nodded indifferently, then lay down on the bed and covered herself with the blanket.
"I will sleep here tonight. It's too much trouble to go back. Kamikawa, you don't mind, right?"
"No."
Ren had slept at Gabriel's house many times, and now that Gabriel wanted to stay at his house, of course he wouldn't refuse.
"Hey... Do you want to go up and sleep together?"
Gabriel lifted the blanket and turned to ask him.
"No."
Ren firmly refused.
The bed in the room is a single bed, it would be very uncomfortable if two people slept together.
Remembering Gabriel, it would be better if he didn't go to sleep.
"Not together?" Gabriel asked uncertainly, "Then where do you sleep?"
"Floor."
Ren has an extra bed at home and can sleep on the floor.
"Okay."
Gabriel covered the blanket again and said nothing more
After realizing that she had no intention of speaking, Ren took the bed out of the cupboard and started spreading it out on the floor.
After watching him spread out the blanket for a while, Gabriel covered her head with the blanket, leaving only her face exposed, and asked, "Kamikawa, what do you want in the future?"
"Go to school."
"How about after school?"
Gabriel was not satisfied with the simple answer and asked more questions.
"Don't know."
Ren shook his head.
He has no additional ideas or plans for his future, now he just wants to be like an ordinary person.
"Just that." Gabriel was silent for a long time before continuing, "Then what do you think if I stay here?"
She was a foreign student in Heaven and would return to Heaven in the future, but she suddenly didn't want to go back.
After all, compared to heaven, the games in the human world were much more fun, and...
"I don't know, but I will support your decision."
Ren stopped his hand movements and thought for a moment before answering.
He couldn't give any advice because he had little experience and didn't know which option was best, but as long as it was Gabriel's own decision, he would support her.
"What a cunning answer."
After sighing, Gabriel covered her face with the blanket.
"It's time to go to sleep!"
"Um."
Ren had made the bed and was ready to sleep.
"Good evening, Kamikawa."
Gabriel turned around and turned her back to Ren.
"Good night."
Ren lay down, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.
After a while, Gabriel turned around again and tentatively shouted: "Kamikawa?"
"Um?"
Ren opened his eyes and responded quickly.
"Eh? You haven't slept yet? You are so naughty!"
"…"
Ren had actually just fallen asleep, but was awakened by Gabriel's voice.
"Kamikawa, I can't sleep, can you play with me for a while?"
"Can."
······
Thursday, 10 am.
"Ah, I slept so well!"
Gabriel sat up and stretched.
"Eh? Where is this?"
Rubbing her eyes, Gabriel suddenly realized that this didn't seem to be her room.
"This is my home."
Ren who was sitting in the chair beside her, immediately responded.
"Kamikawa?!"
Hearing his voice, Gabriel quickly turned her head and looked over.
"Yes," Ren answered.
"Why am I here?"
Gabriel scratched her head, her eyes full of doubt.
She felt like she was losing her memory.
"Yesterday was your birthday..." Ren reminded.
"Wait a minute, I seem to remember."
After hearing the word birthday, Gabriel suddenly remembered it.
Last night she came to Ren's house to celebrate her birthday, she had dinner with Vigne and the others, took photos, received gifts, then... Wait, what else happened?
Thinking back on this, Gabriel suddenly realized that she couldn't remember anything.
In the end, she only remembered eating a piece of chocolate while she was chatting with Ren, and she didn't know anything else.
She didn't remember why she was sleeping at Ren's house.
"Kamikawa, what happened last night? Why can't I remember anything?"
Gabriel looked at Ren confusedly, trying to get an answer from him.
"You ate chocolate and got drunk," Ren explained simply.
"So what?"
Gabriel always felt like there was something more to last night's events, that something else must have happened.
"Then you stayed up all night and asked me to play games with you."
Gabriel originally said she was going to sleep last night, but she said she couldn't sleep, so she dragged him around and made noise all night.
This causes Ren to stay up all night, staying with her.
"Ahem, is that so?"
Gabriel's face turned red and she turned her head to the side in embarrassment.
Pull Ren to play games together? Is there such a thing?
Why does she have no memory at all?
