Not Wanting Ren to Get Sick
Finally, after being asked several times, Gabriel still didn't get any answer from Raphiel.
"By the way, aren't you worried that something like that will happen again?" Pretending not to know Ren's identity as an Esper, Raphiel stood in Gabriel's position and expressed concern.
"Of course, I'm worried."
Gabriel did not deny this.
If she wasn't worried, there would be no need to inform Ren specifically now.
"Aren't you going to do something about it?" Raphiel reminded.
The chance to close the gap like this is very small. If Gabriel remains indifferent, then she truly doesn't know how to help.
"You don't need to worry about this." Gabriel didn't answer her thoughts.
"Seeing you, you must have an idea?" Raphiel guessed, "So, what are you going to do?"
"Secret." Gabriel tilted her head to the side, "This issue has nothing to do with you."
"Tell me, maybe I can help." Raphiel said with a smile, "After all, I am an angel like you."
"Um..."
Hearing this, Gabriel seemed to remember something and looked at her carefully. "That makes sense."
"Hey, wait a minute, why do I feel like the way you're looking at me is very dangerous?"
Sensing her gaze, Raphiel felt very threatened, and as she spoke, she moved away from Gabriel.
"You didn't say you wanted to help me, so just follow me home. Coincidentally, I have something that needs your assistance." Gabriel grabbed Raphiel's arm and pulled her back towards her.
"Um... I suddenly remembered that there's something I have to do, and I might not be able to go to your house." Raphiel made up a random excuse and prepared to escape.
"It's okay; this is just a trip to my house. It will be over soon and won't delay you for anything else."
Gabriel held onto her arm tightly so she couldn't escape, and forcibly led her towards her house.
"The more you say that, the more I feel unsafe." After some symbolic struggle, Raphiel gave up the idea of escaping and followed Gabriel cooperatively.
Gabriel reassured her, "How could that be? It's very safe. Don't worry."
"Gabriel, you're raising flags!"
"The flags don't matter as long as you cooperate with me."

Nakano Family.
"Kamikawa-san, why don't you stop giving lectures this afternoon?"
Seeing Ren tidying up his things and getting ready to start teaching, Itsuki persuaded him.
"Yeah, it's okay if you take a day off." Fumino agreed and wanted him to rest.
"What's wrong with him? Why does everyone want him to rest?"
After hearing others' persuasion, Nino asked with confusion.
Usually, Itsuki was the most active in studying, but now she took the initiative to let Ren rest, something that was completely impossible during normal times.
"I don't know either." Ichika shook her head and casually guessed, "Could he be sick?"
Thinking about how he looked when she saw him during the day, she was also confused by Ren's current appearance.
He clearly still wore his school uniform during the day, but why did he change into sports clothes in the afternoon?
Even if he's sick, there's no need to wear sportswear?
Miku and Yotsuba didn't speak, but their eyes were still focused on Ren, looking very curious.
After hearing their two questions, Rizu told Ren what happened during the day.
"Eh? Did you jump into the pond to save someone?"
Yotsuba was astonished, not expecting him to do something like that.
"Yes." Rizu nodded.
"I see."
Regarding this matter, Nino could understand why Itsuki had the same reaction.
Ren didn't need to give them additional lessons after saving them.
"Are you catching a cold?"
Miku thought for a moment, then went to the kitchen and took out medical supplies, found flu medicine, and took a cup of hot water.
Placing the hot water in front of him, Miku handed him the flu medicine.
"This?"
Her sudden movement made Ren a bit confused.
"Cold medicine, to prevent a cold. Didn't you jump into the pond?"
After explaining, Miku prepared to open the flu medicine so he could easily drink it.
"Wait a minute, drinking flu medicine can't prevent a cold!" Asumi who runs the clinic at home, saw her actions and immediately stopped her.
Flu medicine is designed to treat a cold but does not have a preventive effect.
"Is that so?"
Miku didn't know much about this aspect, but when she heard what Asumi said, she stopped what she was doing.
"Of course, if a cold could be prevented by taking flu medicine, then why do people still get the flu?" Asumi explained.
"That makes sense."
After thinking it over carefully, Miku agreed with her statement.
"In that case, Kamikawa-san, drink more hot water to avoid catching a cold." After hesitating for a moment, Miku put down the flu medicine and handed him hot water.
"Thank you."
Although he knew clearly that he couldn't catch a cold, Ren still didn't refuse. He took the water Miku gave him and sipped it.
Watching him drink, Miku returned to her previous position.
"Miku, it seems like you care a lot about Kamikawa-san." As soon as she returned, Ichika came and asked her in a low voice.
"No." Miku denied.
"Then you still have to give him flu medicine. You clearly care about him, right?" Ichika pointed to the flu medicine thrown on the table by Miku and kept asking.
Earlier, she was still immersed in the surprise of Ren saving someone, but Miku ran to get flu medicine. How could it be said that she didn't care?
"I just don't want him to get sick."
Miku looked at Ren and found that he was drinking water, so she explained quietly.
She had to chat with him every night. If he got sick, there would be no one to chat with her.
Therefore, Ren must not get sick.
"Is there a difference between the two?" Ichika couldn't help but complain.
"Anyway, I just don't want him to get sick." Miku didn't tell Ichika her reason but continued.
Seeing Miku like this, Ichika suddenly got a bad feeling.
Could it be that Miku is also in love with Ren?
