455 Giving Gifts is a Very Important Thing

"Um."

Although unsure why Vigne opened the door, Ren calmly accepted the reality.

There was a time when Vigne came to play with Gabriel.

"Come in."

After saying this, Vigne made space for the door.

"Yes."

As he entered the room and took off his shoes, Ren noticed that the number of shoes on the floor was wrong—three more pairs.

Thinking that Vigne was the one who opened the door, he already determined the owner of the remaining two pairs of shoes.

"You're finally back. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

At this moment, Gabriel's voice suddenly came from the room.

Walking through the corridor and reaching the living room, Ren saw Gabriel, Raphiel, and Satania sitting around a small table, while Vigne had just sat down.

For some reason, there was a six-inch cream cake on the table, with some plates, forks, and knives beside it.

"Whose birthday is it today?"

This was Ren's first reaction upon seeing the cake.

"It's not anyone's birthday. Vigne did this in her free time this afternoon." Gabriel explained, "Besides, except for birthdays, you're allowed to eat cake at any other time."

"Sorry..."

In his common sense, cake was basically synonymous with birthdays.

"No need to apologize; it's not a big deal." Vigne interjected and urged, "Hurry, sit down."

"Um."

Ren sat next to Gabriel out of habit, separating Satania and Gabriel.

"By the way, Vigne, why did you think of making a cake today?"

As Vigne was cutting her cake, Raphiel curiously asked.

"It's a thank-you to Kamikawa. Besides, he gave me a keychain. Of course, I did something in return as a gift. It's also a good time for everyone to gather and chat."

Placing a slice of cake on a plate, Vigne handed it to Ren and answered calmly.

"Wow, Vigne is so cunning, she even prepared a return gift on her own." Raphiel pretended to be surprised and said, "By the way, Gab, did you return the gift to Kamikawa?"

"Not yet." Gabriel turned and looked at Ren, "I don't know what to give him."

She had long wanted to give him a gift, but she didn't know what gift to give, so she could only postpone the matter.

"What about Satania?" Raphiel asked with a smile.

"Don't ask her this question; it's pointless."

Glancing at Satania, who was focused on her cake, Gabriel answered before she could.

"Then, are you preparing a return gift for Kamikawa?" Gabriel asked.

"Oh, the pineapple bread presented by a regular human to this demon king doesn't require a return gift." Satania raised her head proudly, "My willingness to accept it is the greatest gift for him."

"So, I just said it's pointless."

Gabriel had already expected Satania's answer.

"I don't need a return gift."

Seeing them discuss this, Ren took the initiative to speak.

"Even if you don't need a return gift, we still have to give it."

Raphiel took a piece of cake from Vigne and said with a smile.

"Why?"

Ren understood the concept of reciprocity, but since he had clearly stated his refusal, returning the gift was unnecessary.

"It's a matter of courtesy." Gabriel took over the conversation, "However, I'm always troubled thinking about what gift I should give you, and I don't know what to give you."

Feeling that this was a good opportunity, she revealed what she had long held back.

"You can give me anything."

As long as it's a gift for himself, Ren would be very happy.

"That's why I have a headache."

Seeing his appearance, Gabriel said quite dissatisfied.

In her view, giving gifts is a very important thing, especially when she wants to give a gift to Ren, so it should be taken seriously.

Just choose a gift and give it to him; it's impossible.

"Why don't you tell me what gift you want, Kamikawa, so we can prepare a birthday present for you in the future."

Vigne could understand Gabriel's feelings. After all, when she thought about the return gift, she also thought about it for a long time before deciding to make the cake.

"Is Kamikawa's birthday coming soon?" Raphiel noticed this.

"On September 11, still two months away."

Ren answered honestly.

"I arrived a few days after returning from summer vacation."

Raphiel squinted, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Vigne, how do you know Kamikawa's birthday?"

Gabriel looked at Vigne with a doubtful gaze. She knew Ren's birthday because she had asked him, and Vigne had no reason to know it.

"I accidentally saw it when I was helping Kirisu Sensei sort student files." Vigne explained a bit shyly, "Then I wrote it down."

"So that's how..."

Gabriel sighed.

She initially wanted to hide Ren's birthday and celebrate it alone, but she never thought that Vigne also knew his birthday and informed her.

In this case, her little plan was useless.

Truly unfair.

"Ahem, my birthday is on August 15, just one month away." Satania coughed a few times, drawing attention to herself, "Of course, I have no other choice. I just want to tell you that I have no intention of asking for a gift from you."

"Satania, we have already passed August 15, and we can't give you a gift." Vigne reminded in a low voice.

August 15 was already a summer holiday, and Ren was human, so he must be in the human world, and the two angels, Raphiel and Gabriel, would naturally return to heaven.

It was impossible to come to the Demon Realm to celebrate Satania's birthday.

"Why!"

After calculating the time, Satania realized this problem.

"Don't worry, I will give you a birthday gift on your birthday." Vigne assured.

"There's only one..."

Therefore, Satania looked at Ren, Gabriel, and Raphiel with hope.

"Before you leave, I will give you a birthday gift first."

Under her gaze, Ren made a promise.
