Two-Faced Gabriel

Seeing the message that Nino had just sent, Ren felt that he was quite great.

Nino is actually very busy.

It's just that she was busy sending messages to himself.

"Why doesn't she text back? She was clearly in class." Itsuki still didn't understand.

"Don't know."

While saying this, Ren replied to Nino with a message.

Kamikawa Naoki: [Sorry, I don't have time]

Even though he answered like this, he actually had a lot of time. The reason why he answered like this was because he went to the dessert shop too often. It could be said he had to go there every three to five.

Therefore, he felt that there was no need to go to the dessert shop with Nino, he could just go there casually while walking around.

And considering Naoki's identity, he used euphemisms in his answer, otherwise he would have simply refused.

Nakano Nino: [No problem. It's okay if you have something to do first. I'm in no rush]

Soon, her answer came, revealing her understanding of Ren's situation.

"She answered, but why only 'oh'? Not even a thank you?"

Seeing the message that Nino replied to her, Itsuki felt that her good intentions had been disappointed by Nino, so she put away her cell phone in an "angry" state.

She decided to ignore Nino for the time being, unless Nino prepared something delicious for her tonight.

"Kamikawa-san, let's continue," Itsuki turned her attention to Ren and immediately said.

It's better to chat with Ren, even though it's easy to chat without any topic, at least Ren still responds to every word she says, unlike Nino who waited for a long time, just one word.

With this in mind, Itsuki tried hard to find a topic and started chatting with Ren.

In the afternoon, Gabriel's house.

"Kamikawa, do you want me to change my hairstyle?"

After defeating the boss, Gabriel released the mouse and asked Ren.

"Why?"

Ren looked at her doubtfully.

"Actually there is no special reason. They just gave me a box of hair accessories as a birthday gift, so I thought I would use it to prove that I made good use of the gift they gave me."

After saying that, Gabriel stood up, took out a box from the bottom of the cupboard, opened it and placed it in front of Ren.

"This is it."

"Can."

After seeing the fancy hairpins, hair ties and the like in the box, Ren agreed.

He was still curious about what Gabriel would look like after changing her hairstyle.

"It's just... Forget it, let's try it first."

Gabriel wanted to say something more, but noticed his seemingly expectant movements, so she casually took a hair tie and tied her hair.

"Let me tell you up front, I don't know how to tie my hair. Don't blame me if it doesn't look good."

She doesn't use hair accessories, and her hairstyle never changes, her hair is always down, so don't expect her to have a good hairstyle.

"Um."

Ren didn't mind this at all.

"How?"

Gabriel tied one horse for herself, and asked his opinion.

"…Not suitable for you."

After staring at her for a while, Ren answered slowly.

To be honest, Gabriel's hairstyle wasn't bad, but he had probably seen too much of Gabriel with her hair down before, and was really not used to her hairstyle.

"Just forget it."

Hearing his comment, Gabriel quickly untied her ponytail.

Even Ren said it doesn't suit her anymore, so she can imagine how awkward this hairstyle is.

"How about this?"

This time Gabriel took an extra hair tie and twisted it into twintail.

"No."

Looking at Gabriel's current twintails, Ren shook his head.

He didn't know why, but the more he looked at her hairstyle, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"It seems like changing your hairstyle is impossible."

Wanting to return her hairstyle to original state, Gabriel chose to stop changing her hairstyle.

She didn't know many ways to tie her hair, and after excluding single ponytails and twintail, which were relatively simple hairstyles, she didn't know much.

Excluding some hairstyles that couldn't be done now for some reason and some that required a lot of time, she really didn't know anything.

"Um."

Ren continued to agree.

Because he wasn't used to Gabriel's change in hairstyle at the moment.

"Then, just use hairpins for fun."

Looking at the large pile of colorful and varied hairpins in the box, Gabriel couldn't help but hesitate.

"Kamikawa, which hairpin do you think looks better?"

After looking at it for a long time, she still couldn't make a choice, after all, she thought that all of these were similar.

"This."

After a brief comparison, Ren took out a white orchid hairpin from the box and handed it to her.

"It doesn't feel right to me," Gabriel complained.

Therefore, she still took a hairpin and pinned it to her hair casually.

"How about this time?"

"Can."

Since it was his choice, Ren thought it was quite good.

"…No, I have to see for myself."

Considering that Ren had chosen this hairpin, there might be a bonus, so Gabriel didn't choose to completely trust his judgment. Instead, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

"Very strange."

Standing in front of the mirror, the more Gabriel looked at her, the more she felt this hairpin was a bit awkward.

"Forget it, I don't count on you anymore, I will choose myself."

With a sigh, Gabriel took the box containing the hair accessories to the mirror and tried them on one by one.

"Um."

·······

The next morning.

"Eh? Gab, are you wearing hair clips?"

As Gabriel's best friend, Vigne noticed changes in Gabriel when she first met her.

"Yeah, what do you think?"

Gabriel played with her hair unnaturally.

"It looks good and seems to really suit you," Vigne commented.

"Is it true? That's good."

Hearing this, Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief.

"It took me a long time to choose this."

"…"

Next to her, Ren fell into deep thought as he looked at the white orchid hairpin in Gabriel's hair.

Didn't she say yesterday that the hairpin he chose was strange?

So why is she still wearing it now?

He couldn't understand her.
