191 Holding hands with Gabriel

April 29, Friday, first day of holiday.

"Ah, why do you have to go out so early?"

Gabriel used her hand to block the sunlight that was blinding her so much, and complained.

What she initially thought was that she could take some time to hang out with Ren and then make a fool of him.

But what she never expected was that Chika suddenly gave them cinema tickets yesterday afternoon, which forced her casual outing plans to become more formal.

Hence, she had no choice but to leave early.

She's very sleepy. While playing last night, she forgot that she had to go out today. She accidentally played too late and woke up very early today, which made her feel a little sleepy.

But fortunately today no one needed physical activity, she just needed to accompany Ren for a walk.

Ren didn't answer, but observed the surrounding environment.

This is what he does most often when traveling.

"By the way, Kamikawa, where do you usually hang out?"

Gabriel didn't expect Ren to say anything, so after complaining, she curiously asked.

She knows how much Ren likes walking, as long as it doesn't rain, Ren will go out for a walk.

This made her curious about the specific details of Ren's usual hangout.

So, she planned to use this opportunity to ask properly.

"I don't know," Ren answered honestly.

When he usually wandered around, he always chose a path at random and continued walking along it, not knowing where he was going.

For him, the unknown is interesting.

"Hah?"

What she thought was a normal thing seemed a little unbelievable to Gabriel.

"Could you be taking a leisurely stroll?"

After thinking about the logic for a moment, Gabriel asked speculatively.

"Correct."

Ren nodded and agreed with her guess.

"Aren't you afraid of getting lost or something?" Gabriel asked a little worried.

If you don't know the route and just follow your own will, you will easily get lost.

"Not afraid."

Ren answered without hesitation.

He is a person with superpowers, how could he get lost?

"…"

Gabriel suddenly remembered that Ren was a Son of Fortune.

In other words, even if he gets lost, he can return with good luck, and there is no need to worry about getting lost.

In an instant, Gabriel thought of the reason why Ren wasn't worried at all.

But why is her heart so sour?

"By the way, Kamikawa, I have something to buy today. Let's buy it on the street while walking around."

After comforting herself with the excuse that she could ask Ren to draw the lottery for her, Gabriel took the initiative to change the topic.

"Good."

Even though he was out walking today, there was no problem accompanying Gabriel to buy some things.

Anyway, it's only morning, so Ren can walk around all day, he has plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.

Since it was a holiday, many people came out to have fun.

"There are so many people."

Gabriel leaned closer to Ren and whispered to him.

"Um."

Ren responded gently.

He doesn't hate crowds, because the more people there are, the more lively it is.

And he loves fun.

"This is really annoying."

Gabriel is the opposite, she doesn't like crowds at all.

Especially if it had an impact on her like it did now.

Because they wanted to buy something, they changed direction and went straight to the shopping center.

In places like shopping centers, humans are naturally indispensable.

As an angel who is only 1.44 meters tall, the human's presence could be said to have hindered her vision so much that it made it difficult for her to find the shop she wanted to go to.

And to prevent herself from being accidentally separated from Ren, Gabriel had no choice but to grab the corner of Ren's clothes to ensure the two of them could always be together.

Gabriel raised her head and looked at Ren, who was thirty centimeters taller than her. Coupled with their current movements, Gabriel always had the illusion that she and Ren were siblings.

Of course, Ren was the older brother and she was the younger sister.

But judging from her usual behavior, she is definitely an older sister, after all she often looks after Ren, moreover he doesn't even know common sense.

"?"

Realizing that Gabriel was looking at him, Ren could only look down at her.

"…"

Seeing his act of lowering his head to even look at her, Gabriel became even more displeased.

"I said, Kamikawa, when is your birthday?"

Pretending to be casual, Gabriel lowered her voice and asked.

"September 11th," Ren answered honestly.

"Then you should be 16 years old now," Gabriel continued to ask.

"Um."

Ren didn't really understand why Gabriel suddenly asked about his age.

"I'm also 16 years old, but I just celebrated my birthday," Gabriel raised her head and said proudly.

"Yes." Ren agreed.

"So you should call me big sister, right?"

Gabriel continued to speak, and at the same time, her purpose was revealed.

"…"

Ren was silent.

"Just scream," Gabriel looked at him expectantly.

Even though she wasn't as tall as Ren, she was at least older than Ren!

There was absolutely no problem letting him call her sister.

"...Big sister."

After hesitating for a long time, Ren finally shouted.

This was his first time calling someone like this, and it could be said that he was not used to it.

"Um."

Gabriel answered happily.

Now it's much more convenient.

"Ahem..."

After realizing that she was still holding onto his clothes, Gabriel recovered from her excitement, calmly removed her hand, and pretended that nothing had happened.

"Kamikawa, hold big sister's hand, be careful not to separate it."

After a pause, Gabriel stretched out her right hand towards him, but looked away, not daring to look at him.

"Oh."

Looking at Gabriel's slender and white hands, Ren stretched out his left hand and gently held her hand.

"Yes, that's it. There are too many people here."

Feeling the coolness coming from the palm of her hand, Gabriel's face became red for some reason.

"Um."

Ren continued to answer.

"The things I want to buy should be there." Pointing in a random direction, Gabriel pretended to be relaxed, but the color on her face couldn't disappear for a while.

"Yeah."
