"Take care of him?"
Upon hearing Gabriel's request, Mafuyu looks towards Ren standing behind her.
"That's right."
Gabriel nods quickly and explains at the same time: "Kamikawa isn't good at taking care of himself, and he doesn't know how to cook. Since I have to leave here during the summer vacation and go home for a month, I can't take care of him. I thought of letting Kirisu Sensei take care of him during this summer vacation."
"This..."
Mafuyu is a bit confused about why Gabriel is asking her to take care of Ren.
Her standard of living is very poor. She can't even cook. Ordering takeout, buying bento, and eating instant noodles are her normal life.
Moreover, her room has already been cleaned by Ren, so it's more appropriate for him to take care of her than letting her take care of Ren.
"Is it okay?" Gabriel asks hopefully.
After careful consideration, she concludes that Mafuyu is the most suitable person to take care of Ren.
Firstly, Mafuyu's identity is a life counselor. Just from that identity alone, it's clear that Mafuyu is very skilled in life, and there should be no problem in taking care of others.
Moreover, Ren and Mafuyu have a teacher-student relationship, so there's no need to worry about what will happen to Ren and her.
Besides, a romantic relationship between a teacher and a student is taboo!
Secondly, Mafuyu is their neighbor and lives next door, making it convenient for them to help take care of them.
Furthermore, Mafuyu can also cook. She has given them cooking lessons as a substitute for home economics.
Although Mafuyu doesn't want to cook for Ren and only agrees to help take care of him, at least Ren won't be in a situation where he only eats the same thing throughout the summer vacation.
After this semester, Gabriel's impression of Mafuyu is quite good. Although she seems cold, she is actually very responsible for her students.
This is also the main reason why she took the initiative to ask Mafuyu to help take care of Ren.
At this point, Mafuyu is still a little confused about Gabriel's request and doesn't understand why she came to ask her to take care of Ren.
Aren't they good friends?
Why does Gabriel sound like Ren's mother, hoping she will take care of him?
"How should I take care of him?"
Since Ren usually tidies up her room and helps her, Mafuyu doesn't mind helping take care of him.
This is just repaying his kindness for helping tidy up the room.
The premise is that things that need to be done on their own should not be too complicated. She can't even take care of herself well now. If there's another Ren, problems will easily arise.
She lacks confidence in taking care of others.
"Just make sure Kamikawa doesn't lack nutrition and doesn't eat randomly." Seeing that she is willing to agree, Gabriel quickly says, "If possible, Sensei, can you give him food from time to time? One or two meals are enough."
"Is that all?"
Mafuyu didn't expect that what she needs to do would be that simple.
Gabriel even said that she doesn't need to do anything; she just needs to make sure Ren eats well.
If cooking isn't difficult, she believes she can learn it.
"That's it, you don't need to worry about unnecessary things."
Gabriel is a little worried that Mafuyu will be too attentive to Ren, causing Ren not to like her when she returns, so she sets the lowest standard.
"Okay. Leave it to me to take care of Kamikawa-san during the summer vacation."
After considering carefully and deciding that she should be able to do her job well, Mafuyu agrees.
It's just a matter of letting Ren eat well during the summer vacation; it's not a big deal, and she can handle it.
If it doesn't work out, she'll work hard to learn how to cook. The last time she made curry very easily and successfully taught it to her students. She believes she can still do it.
"Then Kamikawa will be handed over to Sensei during the summer vacation."
Suddenly, Gabriel feels much more relaxed, and the headache she initially had due to Ren disappearing is gone.
Overall, there's no need to worry about how Ren will survive.
"Kamikawa, during the summer vacation, if you have questions you don't understand, you can go to Kirisu Sensei, and she will answer them for me."
After successfully getting Mafuyu to agree, Gabriel walks back towards Ren and starts giving him instructions.
"Oh." Ren agrees with a low voice.
Seeing the two talking, Mafuyu also sighs a little.
Poor parents in the world...
Wait, it seems like Gabriel is not his parent, so we can't say that.
Gabriel's words just now really confused her about Ren and Gabriel's relationship.
They say that they are not lovers, but just good friends, but they clearly go beyond the relationship of good friends. Moreover, according to what Gabriel said, Ren's ability to live alone is very poor, and he needs others to take care of him.
Judging from Gabriel's words, it's clear who is taking care of Ren.
After thinking wildly for a while, Mafuyu gives up on this issue. Shuchi'in Academy does not prohibit male and female students from dating, so even if they become a couple, she has no reason to stop it, as long as it doesn't hinder their studies.
In short, buy some ingredients and practice cooking again today, so she can't do anything during the summer vacation and can only order takeout to take care of him.
She really wants to restore her image in front of Ren.
After giving instructions to Ren, Gabriel looks at Mafuyu leaving and heads towards the ingredient section.
Seeing this, Gabriel feels even more that letting Mafuyu take care of Ren is the right choice.
She just wants to buy ingredients to cook. Besides, she can't think of any other possibilities.
She's so versatile; no wonder she is a life coach.
After sighing a little in her heart, Gabriel pulls Ren towards the snack area.
"By the way, is there anything Kirisu Sensei likes? As a thank you for agreeing to take care of you, are we not allowed to give you anything?"
While choosing snacks, Gabriel discusses this.
