Movie tickets sent by Chika

In the end, the specific time and place for climbing the mountain is determined in the noisy atmosphere.

The time is set for May 3rd. The weather forecast said that the weather that day was very good and suitable for walking.

The mountain to be climbed was chosen as an unknown hill, so as not to spoil their experience due to too many people.

With a certain time and place agreed upon, the five of them separated after eating and returned to their respective classes.

Time passed and it was time for school to end in the afternoon.

"Don't you need to help them study today?"

Gabriel looked sideways at Ren, who was walking side by side with her on the way home, and asked curiously.

"Yes," Ren answered softly.

Because today is a holiday, the three of them don't bother anymore.

Of course after saying that, Fumino reminded him several times not to forget to go to her house for the study meeting on May 1st.

"It was great."

As if thinking of something happier, Gabriel's mouth curled slightly.

"Then, I can defeat a few more bosses today."

"Um."

Ren nodded slightly.

Therefore, Gabriel started planning the game arrangements after returning home.

"Kamikawa-kun, Tenma-san!"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind them, interrupting Gabriel's thinking.

"Hm?"

Gabriel came back to her senses and turned around, trying to see who was calling them.

Then, she saw a pink-haired girl with a black ribbon in her bangs running quickly towards them.

"Fujiwara-san?"

Gabriel still remembers this girl's name.

However, she remembered that she didn't know Chika very well.

"I almost missed you."

Since running consumed too much energy, Chika had no choice but to breathe air to regain some of her energy.

"…"

Looking at the towering mountain peak that was constantly rising and falling due to her breath, Gabriel narrowed her eyes.

After realizing that Ren's eyes seemed to be looking at that place, she coughed and took the initiative to ask: "Fujiwara-san, do you have business with us?"

"Nothing important." After Chika felt her strength recover a bit, she smiled and said, "I just have something for the two of you."

"You have something for us?" Gabriel confirmed.

She and Chika weren't familiar with each other at all, so it wouldn't make sense to give them anything.

"Yes."

Chika reached into her pocket, then took out two objects that looked like banknotes and handed them to Gabriel.

"This is it."

"Movie tickets?"

Gabriel immediately recognized the two tickets.

"Yes," Chika smiled and nodded.

"Why are you giving us movie tickets? Don't you have time to go?" Gabriel was a little suspicious of Chika's intentions.

"Actually, I got these two tickets by accident a few days ago, and my family wouldn't let me go to the movies." Chika waved her hand and explained embarrassedly, "So after thinking a lot about whether I should give these two tickets away, I finally found that among the people I know, you two are the most likely to use these two tickets."

"So, I will give these two tickets to you."

"Why are we the ones most likely to use these two tickets?" Gabriel complained.

She could understand Chika's motivation for choosing to give those tickets, but why did Chika choose to give them both tickets?

She doesn't like watching movies.

"Aren't you a couple?" Chika said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it normal for lovers to go to see a movie together?"

"We are not a couple." After hesitating, Gabriel corrected, "Why do you have that illusion?"

"Because everyone in class said so, I thought you were a couple. I am really, really sorry." Chika clasped her hands together and apologized to her.

(She is lying)

Listening to the answer, Ren immediately made a decision.

If someone else used this excuse, he wouldn't doubt it, but Chika had privately asked him and Gabriel if they were a couple in home economics class before, and he gave a negative answer at that time.

But now Chika said that she had misunderstood, and it didn't make sense.

"It's just a rumor," Gabriel said with certainty, and after a moment, she added, "Yes, a rumor."

"Do you need me to explain? I am very experienced in this field," Chika put on a very professional posture.

"Just normal."

After looking at Ren and finding that he had no reaction, Gabriel said indifferently.

"Then leave this matter to me," agreed Chika and she agreed, "It seems easy to dispel the rumors."

"Oh."

Gabriel looked at the two movie tickets in her hand and asked, "Kamikawa, do you want to go to the movies?"

"Yes."

Ren answered without hesitation.

He had wanted to go to a place like the cinema for a long time, so how could he miss it now that he had the chance.

"In that case, we will accept these two tickets." Gabriel collected two movie tickets and then said, "Kamikawa, please give the money to Fujiwara-san."

"I said it was given to you, so I don't need money or anything," Chika refused, "Ah, anyway, I have something to do and I'm leaving first. Goodbye."

After saying that, she quickly left here, as if she was very afraid that they would give her money.

"Goodbye."

Seeing her retreating back, Ren answered.

"It's time to go back."

Gabriel had no intention of responding at all, so she pulled the hem of her clothes and pressed on.

"Um."

Agreeing, Ren and Gabriel continued their journey home.

"These two cinema tickets are for tomorrow night. This is a love film."

While walking, Gabriel took the cinema ticket out of her pocket again and looked at the time.

She seemed to understand why Chika was so eager to give her cinema tickets.

"Um."

Ren can go to the movies tomorrow, which makes him happy.

"By the way, did I promise beforehand that we would go on a trip together?"

Gabriel spoke again, trying to sound calmer.

"Correct."

Ren didn't forget this.

"Then let's leave tomorrow. We'll watch a movie together after our tour," Gabriel decided.
