“Kamikawa, stop at the convenience store up ahead.”
Gabriel, lying on Ren’s back, gave him instructions after spotting the convenience store they often visited not far away.
“Okay.”
As a result, Ren quickened his pace.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve visited this convenience store.”
When they reached the store’s entrance, Gabriel jumped off and said nostalgically.
After thinking for a moment, Ren turned to her and asked, “Are you going to buy something?”
“I need to buy ingredients!” Gabriel said bluntly, “We haven’t had dinner tonight. I just got back and there’s no food at home.”
“I have some at home.” Ren reminded.
Gabriel asked, “Who bought it?”
“Senpai.”
Ren mentioned the only candidate.
Ever since Asumi took over his kitchen, there had been no shortage of ingredients, drinks, snacks, and the like in the refrigerator. This was a sight that had never appeared before and was quite nice.
“There’s no food left at home.”
Gabriel repeated this, then grabbed Ren’s arm and walked into the convenience store.
“Anyway, let’s buy some ingredients and go back.”
“Alright.”
Ren only agreed.
“I’m so tired after playing at the water park all day, so I’ll just make dinner tonight, okay?”
Gabriel took a shopping basket and handed it to Ren, making the decision.
“Sure.”
Gabriel wasn’t surprised by his answer, so she took advantage of the situation and asked, “By the way, has Senpai ever made any weird-tasting or strange-looking food for you to eat?”
“Never.”
Asumi was always very meticulous and responsible in preparing his three daily meals.
“That’s a pity.”
For some reason, Gabriel sighed.
“Pity? Why do you say that?”
Ren worked hard to communicate with her using the conversation skills he had honed over the summer vacation.
“Just asking.” Gabriel answered, “Someone with a personality like that would deliberately cook weird dishes to mess with you.”
“Senpai has never done that.” Ren explained.
“If that’s the case, my impression of her would change a bit, and it almost certainly wouldn’t turn positive.”
While choosing vegetables, Gabriel expressed her judgment.
“What do you mean?”
Ren tried to understand her comment.
“I thought she was a bad person before.” Gabriel replied mercilessly, “And very bad.”
“Isn’t this the first time you met today? Why do you think Senpai is a bad person?”
“What do you think?”
Placing the tomato in her hand down, Gabriel looked at Ren who was following behind her.
“I have no idea.”
Ren only asked Gabriel because he didn’t know. If he knew, would he still need to ask?
“Then you’ll never know.”
Gabriel snorted softly and turned her face away without answering his question.
“Okay.”
Ren accepted this explanation.
After all, there were still many things he didn’t understand until now, and this one was no less important.
After choosing a lot of vegetables and putting them in the shopping basket in his hand, Gabriel suddenly remembered something and asked:
“Is there any dish you really want to eat right now or that you’ve liked eating recently? I’ve been honing my cooking skills over the summer vacation, and I can try some more challenging dishes.”
With no game console or computer all summer, honing her cooking skills could be considered a relatively interesting leisure activity.
This idea was proposed by Raphiel, and she also learned from her.
“Nothing.”
Ren answered very plainly.
“Then I’ll just cook something casually.” Gabriel raised her voice.
“You said earlier that you would make whatever you want for dinner tonight.”
Ren didn’t forget what Gabriel said when they first entered the convenience store.
“If, I mean if, you have something special you want to eat tonight, I could work harder to cook it for you. After all, I haven’t cooked for you this past month, so I could satisfy your wish.”
Gabriel tilted her head to one side, and her originally high-pitched voice became even smaller.
“No need.” Ren said thoughtfully, “You are very tired today, it’s okay even if you don’t cook for me tonight.”
Gabriel said nothing, just stared at him sharply, and continued picking vegetables.
Seeing her reaction, Ren asked hesitantly, “Did I say something wrong again?”
“No, your answer is the correct answer.”
Gabriel replied without looking back, with a very cold tone.
“That’s good.”
Ren immediately felt relieved.
No matter what, it was impossible for him to say two wrong things in such a short time.
Gabriel: “😐”
Repeating words like “It’s Kamikawa, don’t expect anything from him in terms of emotional intelligence” many times in her mind, she said again with emotion:
“Kamikawa, you really haven’t changed at all throughout this summer vacation.”
“There has been a change.” Ren replied again.
“What change?”
Gabriel became interested in the change he mentioned this time.
“Getting a little better at chatting.”
Ren said this confidently.
“Are you sure?”
Thinking about what he said a few minutes ago, the corner of Gabriel’s mouth twitched slightly.
He was very bold to say that.
Ren said confidently: “Even a one percent improvement is still an improvement.”
In this regard, his perspective has always been “No matter how small the progress, as long as there is progress.” it has never changed.
“That’s fine with me.”
After all, Ren’s chatting ability had indeed improved a bit, but only a bit.
“You haven’t changed at all this summer vacation.” He mimicked Gabriel’s words and said.
“I’ve changed too.”
“What change?”
Now he was the one asking this question.
Gabriel turned around, pointing at Ren who was standing in front of her, and replied: “You.”
“Me?”
“Yes.” She answered with a chuckle.
“What does it have to do with me?”
“I miss you so much.” Gabriel tilted her head, “Isn’t this change important?”
“Including.”
Ren nodded.
“Um.”
Gabriel withdrew her finger, and just as she was about to turn around, Ren’s voice was heard.
“Me too.”
