Gabriel: Let's hold an umbrella
Fumino supported the table next to her with her hands and regained her balance.
"It doesn't matter."
Seeing this, Itsuki let go of her supporting hand and prepared to return.
"Nakano-san."
Fumino saw her leaving and shouted quickly.
"What is wrong?"
Itsuki stopped and looked back.
"After Kamikawa-san comes, can you help me notice whether he has any abnormal behavior?" Fumino hesitated and asked her.
"?"
Itsuki didn't expect Fumino to ask her to do something like that.
Thinking about her strange behavior just now and her words now, a bold guess suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Furuhashi-san, could it be that you…" Itsuki asked tentatively.
"How could that be."
Seeing her strange reaction, Fumino immediately understood what she was thinking, and immediately denied it with a red face.
"It is not like that?" Itsuki asked confused, "Then Furuhashi-san, why do you want me to observe Kamikawa-san?"
"Because I felt like I had made Kamikawa-san angry..." Fumino explained.
While jogging in the morning, her peeks at Ren's true appearance.
Although he didn't say anything at that time and his expression didn't change much, when he continued his morning run, he stopped running side by side with her, which explained a lot of the problem.
Therefore, she suspected that Ren might be angry, but she didn't say it out loud.
That's why she wanted Itsuki to help observe and see if Ren had any abnormal behavior, so she could guess whether he was angry or not.
"???"
Itsuki wondered if she had heard wrong.
Besides, she really couldn't imagine what Fumino had done to make Ren angry.
"What are you doing?"
"Sorry, I do not know."
Fumino shook her head.
She actually wanted to remind Itsuki not to peek at Ren's true appearance out of curiosity.
But when she thought that she had promised to keep this matter a secret, she had no choice but to remain silent.
"Okay."
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of it, Itsuki gave up on asking.
"I will take a closer look for you."
She still agreed to what Fumino asked her.
She didn't want to see any conflict between Ren and Fumino.
If she could help, she would naturally help.
"Thank You." Fumino thanked her, "When I finish losing weight, I will treat you to a meal."
"No need, it's just a piece of cake," Itsuki smiled and refused.
"No, maybe this matter is easy for you, but for me, it is quite important," Fumino replied.
After saying that, she turned around and left without giving Itsuki a chance to continue speaking.
"This..."
Seeing that she had returned to her seat, Itsuki had no choice but to accept the fact that she was being forced to eat.
Not long after Itsuki returned to her seat, Ren and Gabriel entered the classroom together.
"Sorry, Kamikawa-san, I accidentally fell asleep this morning."
Then Itsuki stood up and apologized.
······
Time passed and it was already afternoon.
"Furuhashi-san, there is nothing strange about Kamikawa-san today."
After today's observations, Itsuki reported to Fumino.
"That's what I thought," Fumino said helplessly.
This afternoon, she took the opportunity to talk to Ren several times while chatting.
As a result, Ren was still the same as before, answering whatever was asked and not saying anything else.
If Ren encounters a problem she doesn't know about, just keep quiet.
Fumino couldn't see any changes.
This prevents her from speculating.
"Actually Furuhashi-san, even though you made Kamikawa-san angry, as long as you apologize properly, Kamikawa-san will probably forgive you," Itsuki suggested.
As they spend more time together, she increasingly feels that Ren is a good person.
Itsuki believes as long as Fumino doesn't go too far and apologizes to him, Ren will definitely forgive her.
But if it was too much, then she could only wish Fumino good luck.
She wouldn't persuade Ren on a matter like this.
"Yes, I will."
After struggling for a while, Fumino made a decision.
It's better to apologize to Ren seriously.
Otherwise, she would feel guilty in her heart.
Regarding the time, let's arrange for a morning run tomorrow.
It took her a night to think of the right words to apologize.
It's best to keep it simple and sincere.
Mainly because she was afraid that if she spoke for too long, Ren might not understand.
······
The next day, 6 am.
"Is raining."
Standing by the window, Ren looked at the heavy rain outside and sighed softly.
This was his first time seeing rain like this.
When he was imprisoned, he only saw it in a few movies and books.
This rain was the first rain he experienced after leaving.
"When it rains, ordinary people need to hold an umbrella."
He still knows such common sense knowledge.
Therefore, Ren did not hesitate to use his superpower [Creation] to create an umbrella.
Because it didn't rain before, he didn't buy an umbrella, now he has to use his superpowers to help him get through this predicament.
Luckily he has superpowers, otherwise it would be revealed that he is not an ordinary person.
Holding the umbrella, Ren was ready to go out.
He didn't forget about his morning run today.
Just as he was about to go out, he received a message from Fumino.
Furuhashi Fumino: [It's raining, so I won't run in the morning today]
"?"
Can't he run in the morning if it rains?
Where does it come from?
Isn't it okay to run while holding an umbrella?
Ren couldn't understand this.
But since she said so, he had no choice but to accept it.
Kamikawa Ren: [Yes]
After answering, he put his phone away and planned to do something else to pass the time.
An hour and a half later, Ren appeared at Gabriel's door on time.
Not long after, a sleepy Gabriel came out carrying her school bag.
"Good morning, Kamikawa."
Gabriel rubbed her eyes, closed the door, and greeted him casually.
"Good morning," Ren responded seriously.
"Hah? Is raining!"
At this time, Gabriel realized that it was raining outside.
The curtains in her room were basically always closed, so naturally she couldn't see the weather outside.
"Wait a minute, I'll go back and get an umbrella."
Having said that, Gabriel prepared to go back to the room to get an umbrella.
Just as she was about to turn around, she saw the umbrella in Ren's hand.
"You hold the umbrella, so I won't. We can just share an umbrella," Gabriel said matter-of-factly.
She didn't want to hold the umbrella alone, that would be tiring.
And after arriving at school, collecting umbrellas becomes even more troublesome.
Just thinking about it made her dizzy.
But if she shares the same umbrella with Ren, she doesn't need to worry about these problems.
Not only do people hold umbrellas for her, but she doesn't have to pack them.
According to Gabriel, sharing an umbrella with Ren was the right choice.
Is there a better way than this?
