Gabriel Prays Sincerely

"..."

Ren remained silent, gazing towards the church and its surroundings.

He had never been to a church before, only seen it in photos and on TV. Now that he was here in person, he wanted to appreciate it.

"Let's go inside the church and take a look around."

Feeling the restless magical power in her body, Gabriel took the initiative to suggest.

It was her first time coming to a church since arriving in this world, and she came with Ren. The atmosphere was somewhat delicate.

"Yes."

Ren agreed.

The church they visited was just a small one, nothing remarkable around it, quite ordinary.

"By the way, are you ready for Satania's birthday gift?"

As they walked towards the church, Gabriel casually chatted with him about a less important topic.

Since Satania's birthday coincided with the summer holidays, they had promised her to give the birthday gift in advance. With final exams coming up next week, they had to prepare her gift in the next few days.

"Not yet, but I've already chosen what I want to buy." Ren replied softly.

He had long decided on what he wanted, and all that was left was to purchase it.

"What is it?"

Gabriel became interested in his words and asked curiously.

"A rocket launcher."

Ren uttered this word calmly.

"Really? Is the sale of rocket launchers prohibited in this country?" Gabriel suddenly panicked.

According to her knowledge gained in the human world, it wasn't an easy task for ordinary people to acquire such weapons.

"I've made sure it can be bought." Ren said confidently.

"Are you humans too irresponsible? Ordinary people can easily buy weapons like rocket launchers."

Right after she finished complaining, Gabriel suddenly realized something was amiss and asked, "Wait a minute, Kamikawa, is the rocket launcher you just mentioned the one I'm imagining? It's a launcher with tremendous destructive power that can obliterate many beings with one shot...."

With his abilities, Ren shouldn't be able to get such a rocket launcher?

"This is an advanced version of Demonic Python, the one Satania showed in her brochure last time." Ren explained.

"Ah, that one."

After his explanation, Gabriel also recalled what kind of rocket launcher it was.

It was an upgraded version of a pistol with bullets that could make people laugh, and the death rate varied for each person.

If that was the case, then there was nothing to worry about.

Moreover, after giving the gift, she would return to heaven, and Satania would go back to the demon world. Even if she wanted to use the weapon against her, she wouldn't be able to find her.

But was it okay to just sell magical props from the demon world to ordinary people?

It seemed like the demon world was somewhat unreliable!

After finding out which rocket launcher Ren was talking about, Gabriel felt much more at ease and said casually, "Then you should quickly order it in the next two days, and then we'll give her the gift together."

"Have you prepared the gift?" Ren was slightly worried.

"Not yet, but it will be ready after today."

Seeing the church getting closer and closer, Gabriel displayed an intriguing smile.

She came to the church not only to accompany him but also to do something.

For example, using the power of the church to "bless" something.

Of course, she could do this "blessing" alone, but coming to the church would save her energy.

Although she didn't save much, she could save a little.

Hearing that Gabriel wasn't ready, Ren followed her into the church without saying anything.

The church was empty except for a woman cleaning.

Ren couldn't tell from her appearance whether she was a nun or a believer. He didn't know much about it.

Gabriel on the other hand, had no intention of introducing this place to him and just pulled him to sit on a spare bench.

"Is there anything you want to ask about the church?" Gabriel asked in a low voice.

She found this church online. It was a very ordinary church. There was nothing special about it, and it didn't require much introduction at all.

So, she planned to answer some questions about the church for him.

As for why she didn't look for famous churches, the main reason was lack of time; it would take too long to get there, so there was no need to go there specifically.

It would be more cost-effective to find a small church.

"No."

Scanning his eyes around the church, Ren shook his head gently.

He just wanted to come to the church and didn't want to ask too much about this place.

"Alright."

Gabriel was also pleased; she didn't have to spend much time in a place like this.

"Sit with me in the church for a while." Gabriel said gently.

"Yes."

Ren found his left hand being held by Gabriel.

But since they had just held hands, he didn't pay too much attention.

As time passed bit by bit, they were only holding hands, but who knows when they became tightly entwined.

...

"It's almost time; we have to go back."

Reluctantly releasing her tightly held right hand, Gabriel stood up on her own initiative and walked towards the exit of the church.

Seeing this, Ren immediately followed.

"How do you feel after visiting the church?"

When walking out of the church door, Gabriel asked such a question.

"Not bad."

Ren thought for a moment and replied.

"Isn't sitting still boring?" Gabriel kept asking.

"Not boring."

For someone who had been imprisoned for ten years, even sitting in a church for a short while wasn't boring.

Not to mention, he wasn't alone; there was Gabriel accompanying him.

"That's good. I was worried you would find it boring."

Gabriel turned around, with a slight blush on her face.

"Kamikawa, do you still want to come to church in the future?"

"Still here?" Ren asked again.

"Not in this church, but in another place."

Gabriel's tone was very soft, and her eyes showed expectation.

"I'll think about it."

"In that case, I'll accompany you to the church again in the future." Gabriel said with a smile.

"Um."

(I hope that when we come to another church next time, we won't just be good friends...)

Gabriel prayed in her heart.
