Title: Gabriel Wants to Make Sure

Kominami Asumi?

Gabriel remembered this name. Ren mentioned her in a letter.

She was the troublesome woman who said she would accept his guidance during the summer vacation and, in return, cook three meals a day for him. She also wanted to compete with her for the right to cook for Ren.

This was Gabriel’s impression of Kominami Asumi.

Moreover, Ren didn’t wear glasses in front of her, which meant she was also one of the people who knew his true face.

“Gabriel White Tenma, I’m a new student in the same class as Kamikawa and also his good friend.” Gabriel introduced herself, “Senpai, just call me Gabriel.”

“Gabriel? I often hear your name from Kouhai-kun.”

Asumi pointed at Ren, who was standing between the two of them, and said with a smile.

“He mentioned me?” Gabriel turned her head.

She didn’t expect Ren to take the initiative to talk about her.

It really made one wonder what words he would use to describe her.

“Yes.” Ren nodded, “Do you want to come in first? Or do you want me to help you clean up your room first?”

“I’ll come in first.”

Seeing Asumi smiling, Gabriel made her choice almost without thinking.

Compared to going home and cleaning up, Asumi staying at Ren’s house was the most important thing to deal with right now.

“Um.”

Ren helped Gabriel carry her suitcase to the room, while Asumi asked questions like a hostess:

“What would you like to drink? Juice or Coke?”

“Coke, I haven’t had it in a long time.”

After answering unconsciously, Gabriel suddenly realized the issue and asked incredulously: “Wait a minute, can Kamikawa’s house really choose drinks?”

“Of course, what’s strange about that?” Asumi replied.

“In the past, there were no drinks in Kamikawa’s house.”

This is what surprised her. Previously, Ren only drank the most basic thing at home, water.

Drinks like juice and cola were considered luxuries.

“The past is the past, and now is now.” Asumi said, putting the past in one sentence, turning and walking to the kitchen, “You want to drink Coke, right?”

“Yes.”

Gabriel responded very unhappily.

What happened in the month she was away? She even drank in Ren’s house.

Before she could figure out the problem, Gabriel found something strange in his house.

“Kamikawa, what’s with this painting?”

Pointing to a very clear painting hanging on the wall, Gabriel asked Ren, who had just put down her luggage.

If she remembered correctly, there was no such decoration in his house before she left.

“A gift from Yotsuba.” Ren explained simply.

He had mentioned the gift exchange in his letter to Gabriel, so he didn’t hide it.

“Right... But who is the person in this painting? Why do they look familiar?”

Her eyes kept tracing between Yotsuba and Ren, and Gabriel seemed to be making sure of something.

Ren explained: “This is me, me when I was 11 years old.”

Gabriel was not surprised by his answer; after all, it was easy to see that the boy in the painting now had Ren’s shadow.

But compared to how handsome he is now, Ren looked so innocent at 11 years old, and she felt like hugging and loving him.

Only—

“Why does a girl named Yotsuba know what you looked like when you were 11 years old?”

That was the crux.

Ren answered honestly: “Yotsuba and I met five years ago.”

“Five years ago?”

Gabriel was shocked to hear this.

This was much earlier than when she met Ren.

“That’s right.”

After sorting out her thoughts, Gabriel’s voice became very soft: “Did she draw you five years ago as a gift for you?”

Can this really be described as a gift? It’s not an exaggeration to call it a sign of love, is it?

After all, in an ordinary relationship, who can remember what someone looked like five years ago.

“We did it together.”

Ren pointed to the lower right corner of the painting and revised his statement.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Gabriel found two names in the lower right corner.

[Nakano Yotsuba]

[Kamikawa Ren]

‘Today is my first day back in the human world. Calm down, I must go to the water park later.‘

Gabriel tried her best to suppress the urge to blow the Doomsday Horn and kept reassuring herself in her heart.

“What are you doing?”

At this moment, Asumi came over with a can of Coke, handed it to Gabriel, and asked the question knowingly.

“Looking at this painting.” Ren didn’t hide anything.

“Um, when I saw this painting, I was as surprised as Gabriel.”

Asumi said casually: “But then I asked Kouhai-kun who he cares about the most, and his answer was Gabriel.”

“Eh?!”

Gabriel, who was still holding back and blowing the Doomsday Horn, immediately lost the impulse after hearing this.

She raised her head to look at Ren, and then lowered her head shyly. Gabriel shyly confirmed to Ren:

“Um, Kamikawa, is what she said true? That I am the one you care about the most.”

“Yes.”

Ren said this.

“Really...”

Gabriel pouted, as if complaining about Ren, but the joy in her tone couldn’t be hidden.

Yotsuba, who Ren met five years ago, was not worth mentioning at all.

And there’s this naughty girl, Asumi, no, how could she say that senpai is a naughty girl?

Thinking about it carefully, senpai is actually a very good person.

Seeing her reaction, Asumi quietly thought of something, but then continued: “However, Kouhai-kun’s definition of caring is the level of closeness, which is not the usual caring we understand.”

“?!”

Gabriel hurriedly raised her head again and looked at Asumi, who was standing next to Ren.

Bad woman! ! !

She must have waited until she misunderstood before saying the fact.

“It doesn’t matter, I still know that Kamikawa is closest to me.”

Gabriel emphasized the word “closest” very hard, thus aggravating her pronunciation.

Asumi suddenly remembered something, then said: “By the way, Gabriel, Kouhai-kun already told you that I will replace you and cook for him from now on, right?”
