Ren wants her to accept it

"Thank you," Ren thanked her.

Since Gabriel said it was a talisman, just follow his wishes. After all, he didn't care much about the difference between a guardian and a talisman.

Turning the talisman in his hand, the side with 'Health' embroidered appeared in front of him.

If the meaning is correct, then the intention of this guardian is to hope that you are healthy and fine.

"Didn't I tell you before that you don't need to thank me?"

Gabriel fixed her hair that was messed up by the wind and said to him pretending to be angry.

"I'm sorry."

Thank you was his subconscious reaction after receiving the gift. Ren suddenly forgot that it was Gabriel who gave the gift.

"I will forgive you this time," Gabriel sighed helplessly, but in fact she still had a smile on her face. "Next time, don't come to me like this."

After thinking about it, she added: "We are good friends."

"I understand," Ren answered.

"Put away this talisman."

Realizing that he was still staring at the talisman, Gabriel pressed on.

"Where to put it?"

Ren wanted to keep it, but he didn't know where to keep it.

"Put it in your wallet. Perfect to keep with you."

After looking him up and down, Gabriel suggested.

It was unrealistic to expect Ren to keep the talisman she gave him close to his body, so she chose a place where he would always wear it.

"OKAY."

Ren took out his wallet from pocket.

The wallet is a very ordinary model, not a luxury brand, just to be like ordinary people.

Gabriel came over curiously, wanting to see what was in his wallet.

Ren didn't mean to avoid her, he opened wallet in front of she, and then Gabriel saw piles of tens of thousands of yen in cash filling the entire wallet.

As for the specific number, she couldn't count it, but it was a lot.

This made Gabriel drool with envy.

It would be nice if she also had a lot of money, in that case, she could earn money with peace of mind.

"For you."

Feeling Gabriel's gaze from the side, Ren suddenly understood something, then took out a wad of money and handed it to her.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Seeing the money sent to her, Gabriel was stunned, then asked.

"Don't you not want it?"

Ren noticed the emotion called desire from the way Gabriel looked at the money earlier, so he decided to satisfy her desire, which could be considered a return gift from him.

"I want it, but I can't have it," Gabriel struggled to say.

Having experienced the experience of being given a billion yen by him before, she already knew that Ren could really do something like that.

As long as she said she wanted it, he would definitely give it to her directly.

"Why?" Ren asked confusedly.

Gabriel clearly wanted it, why couldn't she have it?

"Because this is human nature," Gabriel could only reply, "However, I will not accept your money easily this time."

She had received a billion yen before, and she should not accept any more money from him now.

And collecting money will also make their relationship strange, although their relationship is now developing in a strange direction.

"Don't understand."

Ren didn't know much about humans, so naturally he didn't understand what human nature meant.

However, he could understand what Gabriel said next.

Gabriel won't accept it easily, which probably means she has to have a good reason before accepting it.

So Ren explained: "This is your return gift."

"…How can the return gift be money?"

Hearing the reason, Gabriel was so confused that she didn't know what to say.

No matter how much she liked money, she didn't want him to give her vulgar gifts like money in return.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

After thinking about it carefully, Ren agreed with Gabriel's statement.

It was true, he had never seen anyone receive money as a gift.

"Then help me keep it."

Confirming that the money could not be given away, Ren had no choice but to ask for her help.

"Why?"

Gabriel slightly suspected that Ren wanted to use this excuse to trick herself into receiving money from him.

"Because there is no place to put the talisman," Ren answered honestly.

Because he didn't think wallet looked good when it was empty, he filled it with money.

And this meant the talisman Gabriel had given himself wouldn't fit, so he'd have to spend the money to make room.

"...Okay."

After looking at the wallet in Ren's hand and then looking at the talisman she gave him, Gabriel reluctantly took the money from him.

To be honest, if someone else used this reason to explain to her, she would never believe it. After all, the talisman was not a big thing.

But when it came to Ren, this reason turned out to be very convincing, so it was impossible for anyone to doubt it.

"I'll return the money to you when I get back," Gabriel reminded him before keeping the money.

"Um."

Ren put the talisman in the emptied wallet

"Let's go back. It's almost time for them to finish watching."

After estimating the time, Gabriel pulled his sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.

"Um."

···

When they returned there, Vigne and the others were already standing there, apparently waiting for their return.

"Sorry, I accidentally went too far."

Gabriel casually found an excuse for them and returned to the team naturally.

"No problem, we just bought a guardian not long ago," Vigne said without any worries.

"Here, Kamikawa, this is the guardian I bought for you. Accept it."

While Gabriel and Vigne were talking, Raphiel approached Ren, then took out a pink guardian and handed it to him.

Gabriel: "???"
