Meeting Mafuyu
Soon enough, dinner ended amidst laughter, and their group went their separate ways.
"We go."
Gabriel pulled Ren and stood at the intersection and said goodbye to Vigne.
"Um, be careful on the road," Vigne warned.
It was nighttime, and even though Gabriel was an angel, always be careful.
"I will."
Gabriel nodded indifferently and walked towards house.
"Goodbye."
Ren said goodbye seriously before following Gabriel.
"Goodbye!"
Vigne answered with a smile, turned around and walked down another street.
"Very good today."
Gabriel walked slowly ahead, feeling the wind blowing against her face and letting out a soft sigh.
"Yes." Ren agreed.
Except for the rainy morning, the rest of the day the weather could be said to be very good, very suitable for hanging out.
If possible, he would like to go for a short walk. Besides, having Gabriel by his side now could make the outing even more interesting.
However, judging from Gabriel's appearance, she probably didn't want to.
"It would be a shame not to stay home in this nice weather." Gabriel of course didn't know what Ren was thinking, so she expressed her own thoughts.
She had a tiring day today, and now she just wanted to go home and have a good rest.
"…"
Ren didn't answer, just listened quietly.
"Wait a moment."
While walking, Gabriel suddenly stopped and looked at a convenience store on the side of the road.
"Do you have anything to buy?"
Seeing her reaction, Ren made a guess.
This department store is a place that they often visit, every time they buy snacks they definitely come here.
Hence, he could roughly guess why Gabriel stopped here.
"There doesn't seem to be any snacks at home. Let's buy."
Thinking carefully about the number of snacks at home, Gabriel said seriously.
The holiday has ended, the snacks she bought before the holiday are almost gone, she still needs to buy another batch to prepare.
Not to mention Ren is also here, even if you buy too many snacks, there will be someone to help carry them, so you don't need to worry about tiring yourself.
"Okay," Ren answered softly.
Seeing him agree, Gabriel was ready to pull him in, but at this moment, the door of the convenience store suddenly opened, and a woman came out with plastic bags in both hands.
"Kirisu Sensei?"
Seeing Mafuyu who had just come out of the convenience store, Gabriel's plans to enter suddenly stopped.
Because it was a holiday, Mafuyu did not wear a teacher's uniform this time, but a black sports jacket and sports trousers, and a pair of sandals on her feet, which was very different from her school image.
"Tenma-san?"
Mafuyu naturally saw Gabriel in front of her and called her name.
She still has deep memories of Gabriel. After all, they lived in the same apartment, and Gabriel was always careless in class. This resulted in Gabriel being the person who impressed her the most besides Ren.
"Hello, Sensei," Gabriel greeted meekly.
Not long ago, she had been scolded by Mafuyu for sleeping in class, so she was very afraid of her.
Ren continued with the greeting: "Hello Sensei."
"Hello."
Mafuyu first answered, then looked at Gabriel, then at Ren, and finally determined the distance between the two of them, then frowned and asked: "Are you two dating?"
A man and a woman appeared together in front of a convenience store, and they seemed to have a very close relationship. It's hard not to think like that.
"Of course not, we'll just go home together," Gabriel explained quickly.
She remembered that Mafuyu had called the two of them to the office and specifically asked about this matter, so she guessed that Mafuyu didn't want to see lovers.
Besides, the two of them weren't lovers, so she didn't need to worry.
"Let's go home together?" Mafuyu couldn't believe her.
"Yeah, we just came back from climbing the mountain, then we went home on our way..."
Gabriel suppressed her fear of Mafuyu and explained their mountain climbing plan very briefly.
"I see."
Mafuyu remembered that Ren had asked her about mountain climbing precautions before, and the two of them seemed to have finished climbing the mountain, so she believed Gabriel's explanation.
"Then Sensei, we'll go home first."
Seeing that she believed her, Gabriel planned to take Ren to a convenience store to buy snacks.
She is still a little afraid of Mafuyu and doesn't want to stay with her.
"I want to go back too, let's go together."
Mafuyu initially thought the two of them were going to a convenience store to buy something, and was ready to make way for them, but Gabriel said that they would be back. It was a coincidence.
It just so happened that she wanted to discuss something with Ren, and now that she met him, it was just right.
Gabriel: "😐"
She wanted to avoid Mafuyu, so she planned to move to a convenience store, but she never expected Mafuyu to come back with them.
Now, she couldn't even go to a convenience store.
"Alright."
To prevent her lie from being exposed, Gabriel could only agree.
Looking at Mafuyu who was standing next to Ren and walking with them, Gabriel sighed helplessly.
"Sensei, do you need help?"
After walking for a while and realizing that Mafuyu was having difficulty carrying two plastic bags, Ren took the initiative to ask.
"...Problem."
After thinking for a moment, Mafuyu gave one of the bags to Ren.
She came here specifically to buy today's survival supplies, namely instant noodles and the like, but she accidentally bought too much and couldn't take it with her. It was precisely because of that that she did not refuse Ren's help.
"No problem."
Taking her bag, Ren said indifferently.
Gabriel just looked at the bag he was helping her carry and looked away.
Now that Mafuyu was here, she couldn't chat with Ren and could only pass the time by looking at the scenery.
Looking at the three people walking towards them not far away, Gabriel suddenly felt something was wrong.
Turning her head, she looked back at Mafuyu, who was only slightly shorter than Ren, and then looked at Ren, who was thirty centimeters taller than her.
She finally realized something was wrong.
It turns out that the three of them look like a family of three!
Just because of her height, her position between the three of them is very subtle.
