Gabriel Wants to See

"By the way, it's time for the school uniforms to change with the season."

After dinner, Gabriel discussed this with Ren.

Now that summer has arrived, it's time to switch to summer school uniforms.

"Yes."

Ren is already aware of this because the teacher mentioned it at school.

"What do the boys' summer uniforms look like?" Gabriel asked with curiosity.

There isn't much difference between girls' summer uniforms and winter uniforms, except for changing from long sleeves to short sleeves. Not much difference elsewhere, still in the form of a dress.

"A short-sleeved white shirt... I'll get it and show you."

Ren wanted to describe it, but after thinking for a while, he chose to stop. It would take a long time to describe a set of clothes with his limited vocabulary. Instead of doing that, it's better for him to go get it.

"Go on."

Gabriel didn't stop him, as Ren's house is next door, and he just needs the clothes quickly.

"Um."

Ren stood up and went home to get his summer uniform.

After a while, he returned with the clothes and handed them to Gabriel.

"Is this the boys' summer school uniform? Isn't it just a white shirt and black suit pants?"

After examining it closely, Gabriel complained.

She thought Ren didn't know how to describe how special it was.

Is it worth it so far?

"And a tie."

Ren took the blue tie placed beside him and reminded her.

"A tie?" Gabriel was surprised. "Do you still have to wear a tie when wearing the uniform?"

"Whether to wear a tie or not, there are no specific requirements."

Ren thought about the school rules and answered honestly.

In this case, Shuchi'in Academy is still very relaxed.

After looking at the tie and then looking at the uniform in his hands, Gabriel had an idea.

"Um, Kamikawa, can you wear your summer uniform and show it to me?" Gabriel put the uniform in her hands and asked seriously.

"Sure."

Ren didn't refuse, then went into the bathroom with his uniform.

Things like changing clothes couldn't be done in front of Gabriel.

Without letting her wait long, Ren came out of the bathroom, exchanging his black winter uniform for the white summer uniform, but without the tie.

Seeing Ren without glasses and wearing a white shirt and black pants, Gabriel looked very pleased, but after looking at the position of his collar, she asked, "Why aren't you wearing the tie?"

She just wanted to see what Ren looked like with a tie, so she asked him to wear it.

"I don't know how to tie it." Ren answered honestly. He had never worn such clothes before, so how could he tie a tie?

Moreover, does it matter to wear a summer uniform with or without a tie?

So, he doesn't need to know how to tie a tie.

"Bring your tie here, and I'll tie it for you." After some hesitation, Gabriel made a decision.

"Yes."

As Ren went to get tie, Gabriel took out her phone to check how to tie a tie.

Honestly, she didn't know how to tie a tie. How could an angel like her tie something like that?

But to fulfill her small wish, she decided to learn it now.

She remembered that the tie had to be easy to tie.

"Here."

Sitting next to her, Ren handed his tie to Gabriel.

"Let me try."

After taking the tie, Gabriel approached him and started tying it step by step according to the tutorial she just found.

"First, hold the wide end with your right hand, hold the narrow end with your left and right, then..."

Because Gabriel was tying the tie, Ren didn't do anything for now except watch her movements to pass the time.

"Don't look at me; I'll be embarrassed."

Feeling Ren's gaze, Gabriel raised her head and stared at him. After realizing that her body posture was somewhat ambiguous, she said angrily.

"Yes."

Therefore, Ren had no choice but to tilt his head to one side.

After trying hard, Gabriel finally tied the tie, sat back a bit, and directed him, "Okay, now stand up and let me see."

"Um."

Ren stood up.

"..."

Summer uniform with a tie and his always expressionless yet very handsome face was a perfect combination. Even Gabriel who was used to Ren's appearance, was stunned for a few seconds.

"Kamikawa, come here for a moment."

After coming to her senses, Gabriel waved to Ren.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her actions, Ren walked towards her and prepared to sit.

Seeing him bow, Gabriel suddenly grabbed his tie and pulled it tightly, but Ren didn't react at all.

"What's wrong?"

Feeling his neck tense, Ren asked confusedly.

"Nothing."

Realizing that she didn't pull him, Gabriel loosened tie out of embarrassment and turned away silently.

"Oh."

...

The next morning.

"Why aren't you wearing the tie?"

Gabriel had changed into summer clothes, looking at Ren who was still wearing the summer uniform without a tie, and said very dissatisfied.

"I won't." Ren's answer was the same.

"Didn't I tie it for you last night? Why don't you still know how?" Gabriel complained.

Shouldn't someone as intelligent as Ren be able to do something as simple as tying a tie after just one look?

Ren explained, "But you told me not to look at you then, so I couldn't learn."

"Seems like it, sorry."

Reminded, Gabriel remembered how she refused to let him see because of her embarrassment.

"It's okay." Ren didn't care about this.

"Then bring the tie here, and I'll tie it for you again. This time you have to pay attention. If you still don't know how, I won't teach you."

After taking a few deep breaths, Gabriel made a decision.

"Um."

After handing his tie to Gabriel, Ren waited.

"Wait a moment, how do you tie a tie."

And Gabriel, holding the tie, suddenly realized a problem.

She realized that she seemed to be unable to remember how to tie a tie.

Staring at the tie in her hand, Gabriel suggested seriously, "Why don't you just stop wearing the tie."

"Yes."
