Strange development in stages

"This..."

Listening to Raphiel's rather subtle words, Vigne always felt that her words were a little too ambiguous.

But after seeing the holy smile on Raphiel's face, Vigne restrained her thoughts.

She must have misunderstood. Raphiel is an angel. How could she say such words on purpose?

To be honest, Ren was moved by Raphiel's invitation.

Even though he was going out for a walk now, it was nothing compared to this tea party.

He could go whenever he wanted, but if he missed this tea party, he didn't know when there would be another one.

"I don't know how to chat."

After thinking for a moment, Ren chose to talk about his weaknesses.

Of course he wanted to take part in this tea party, but the problem was that tea parties, as the name suggests, definitely involved chatting.

And he didn't know how to chat at all, so he was a little worried that it would ruin the tea party atmosphere.

"It doesn't matter." Raphiel waved her hand, "We're just chatting casually, even if Kamikawa-san doesn't know how to chat, it's okay."

"As long as Kamikawa-san can come and participate, that will make me very happy."

"…"

For some reason, Vigne increasingly felt that something was wrong with Raphiel, she seemed to really want Ren to attend this tea party.

However, it was difficult for her to say anything.

After all, Raphiel invited her to this tea party, and now inviting Ren was normal.

After all, Ren wasn't a foreigner, so it didn't matter.

"Can."

After hearing what she said, Ren agreed.

As long as they can accept that he doesn't talk much.

"Then let's go quickly."

Seeing him agree, Raphiel immediately pressed on.

It took a lot of effort to get him to agree, but what if he regrets it later?

It's better to go to that place immediately to confirm.

"Um."

······

Café.

"This shop...?"

Vigne who had just sat in a chair, could only frown.

She had a bad feeling for no reason.

"Vigne-san, what's wrong?"

As the initiator of this tea party, Raphiel immediately noticed something strange about Vigne.

"No, it's okay." Vigne shook her head, "Maybe I misunderstood."

They just came to chat, what bad could happen?

She must feel wrong!

While the two of them were chatting, Ren also sat in his chair and looked at the cafe environment.

He had to say that he was very satisfied with the location Raphiel had booked.

Because it was next to the window, this way, even if he didn't know what to say, he could pretend he was looking at the scenery outside the window and not hear what they were saying.

At this moment, he even thought of his own way out.

While he was observing the surroundings, the waiter came and brought them the menu.

"Kamikawa-san, Vigne-san, is there anything you want to eat?"

After taking the menu, Raphiel handed it to the two of them.

"I'm not very familiar with this shop, so you'd better come, Raphiel-san." Vigne had no intention of accepting the offer and simply refused.

"Um." Ren also refused.

For things like ordering food, he always asked someone else to do it, so as not to order wrongly.

"Then, I'll just order something casually." Pretending to have a headache and rubbing her hair, Raphiel said a little embarrassedly, "What if there is something you don't like eating among the food I ordered? Do not blame me."

"We definitely won't blame you," Vigne nodded understandingly, "Rest assured."

Ren didn't say anything and continued to observe the surroundings.

"Then I won't be polite."

After that, Raphiel took the menu and started ordering.

"Enough."

After returning the menu to the waiter, Raphiel finished ordering.

"Please wait a moment."

After taking the order, the waiter said goodbye.

"Let's talk about something casually while the drinks aren't served yet."

After gently clapping, Raphiel turned her attention to Ren, who was sitting across from her.

"Raphiel-san, did you order too much?" Vigne who was sitting next to her asked worriedly.

There were only three people, but the portion that Raphiel ordered just now was clearly more than enough for three people.

"Does not matter. The portions in this shop are smaller than in other shops, and of course the prices will be much cheaper," Raphiel explained to her, "So, please eat."

"That's good."

Vigne felt relieved now, as long as Raphiel didn't spend a penny.

"By the way, Vigne-san and Kamikawa-san, just call me Raphi."

At this moment, Raphiel suddenly remembered something and said to the two of them.

"If you keep calling me Raphiel-san, I'll feel weird."

"Correct." Vigne agreed with her statement, "You can also call me Vigne."

They have known each other for a long time, and still use the term "-san" which feels strange.

"That's impossible," Raphiel refused with a smile.

"Why?" Vigne asked doubtfully.

This was something Raphiel had come up with on her own initiative, so what was wrong with that?

Raphiel smiled and explained: "Because I have character."

"What is character setting?" Vigne complained.

Are they characters in a novel or manga? Is there such a thing as character settings?

"You can call me Kamikawa or Ren."

After thinking for a moment, Ren imitated the two of them and said the same thing.

"Eh? I remember Gab's way of calling Kamikawa-san was Kamikawa," Raphiel noticed this.

"Yes," Ren answered.

Gabriel had called him Kamikawa for a long time, and she still called it now.

"So, we also call you Kamikawa, is that okay?" Raphiel tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.

"...Does not matter."

Ren said indifferently.

It's just a name, what's the big deal.

"Then please give me advice from now on, Kamikawa," Raphiel looked at him with a smile, and at the same time added a little emphasis to the voice.

"Please give me your advice, Raphi."

After hesitating for a moment, Ren responded.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Vigne always felt strange.

Is there something wrong with their progress?
