He Gave It to Me

"Whose message is it?" Kaguya asked with curiosity after learning that Hayasaka fell into an autistic state after reading the message.

"It's from Kamikawa-kun, asking if we want to go to the arcade together again." Hayasaka showed the chat interface and said helplessly.

If Ren invited her somewhere else, she probably wouldn't mind. But the arcade, forget it.

"Agreed." Kaguya gave her own advice after reading the message.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Hayasaka couldn't help but complain, "I'd rather stay home all day than go to the arcade with him again."

"It seems he has left quite a psychological shadow." Kaguya said with a smile.

"Of course. This is the first time I've met someone so skilled at the claw machine." Hayasaka recalled Ren's record of only catching one keychain after 55 boxes. "In short, I won't do it again."

"Then what will you do with the news about him?" Kaguya pointed to her phone as a reminder.

"Kaguya-sama, are you going?" After looking at the message again, Hayasaka asked hopefully, "Have you never been to the arcade?"

"I'm a bit busy right now and don't have spare time, so I can't go."

Kaguya chose to escape without hesitation. With Hayasaka's experience, she would only agree to go to the arcade with Ren unless she was foolish.

"Kamikawa-kun, we should wait until you have time to go together." Hayasaka didn't give up.

"As long as I go to the arcade, I don't have time."

Kaguya said this without any intention of hiding it anymore.

"In that case..."

At this moment, Hayasaka suddenly got a new idea.

"Kaguya-sama, what do you think of Fujiwara-sama? With her personality, she must enjoy going to places like the arcade, right?"

The Miss Fujiwara she was talking about here referred to Chika.

"Hayasaka, Fujiwara-san doesn't offend you, does she?"

Knowing that going to the arcade with Ren was very dangerous, Hayasaka actually wanted to divert the issue.

It's hard not to wonder if there's any animosity between Hayasaka and Chika.

Thinking about this, Kaguya looked at Hayasaka with an even stranger look.

"I decline."

Feeling the strange gaze in Kaguya's eyes, Hayasaka had no choice but to give up the idea and leave the matter to Chika.

"Actually, I think you should agree. Don't you want to take a break?" Kaguya suggested seriously, "It's better to go out and play than stay at home and work, isn't it?"

"Kaguya-sama, I want to live for two more years."

Staring into Kaguya's eyes, Hayasaka said seriously.

...

Hayasaka Ai: [Sorry, I have something to do lately and don't have spare time]

Kamikawa Ren: [I can wait until you have time to go together]

Hayasaka Ai: [I'm going to take a shower, let's talk about this when I come back]

Kamikawa Ren: [Okay]

After a brief chat, Ren put down his phone, took the teddy bear keychain, and walked slowly towards Gabriel's house.

He didn't catch this teddy bear keychain; he bought it himself and planned to keep it as a souvenir.

To commemorate the first time he caught a plush.

Ren had to say that this claw machine was quite interesting. Without using super strength and computing power, it could make him catch it several times before actually catching it. It was clearly a very powerful machine.

Was he considered an expert in catching plushies?

Thinking about Hayasaka's happy expression after she took the keychain, Ren started pondering this issue.

There was also the VIP card; did the staff consider him too good, so they gave it to him?

Thinking about this issue, Ren arrived at Gabriel's door.

After knocking, Gabriel opened the door after a few moments.

"For you."

Seeing Gabriel appear, Ren handed over the teddy bear keychain.

"Eh?"

Before she could say anything, Gabriel instinctively took it.

"What is this? A keychain?"

As Ren took off his shoes, Gabriel carefully examined the object and asked curiously.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to bring a gift from outside.

"Yeah." Ren nodded.

Originally, he wanted to use this keychain for himself, but because his key already had a half-hearted keychain given by Nino, he couldn't use it anymore.

Therefore, he decided to give it to Gabriel.

"Then I'll take it."

Gabriel happily accepted it, then took out her key and compared it, only to find that the bear was bigger than her key.

"Your keychain is bigger than my house key. How do I use it?"

"In that case, find a place to put it." Ren gave his suggestion.

"Really, before you buy something next time, you should consider its actual usefulness first." Gabriel complained, "Let me see. If it really doesn't work, I won't use it."

"Um."

...

The next day, barbecue restaurant.

"This place is really nice."

Raphiel sat on Gabriel's right side, looked around, and sighed.

"I finally decided to have a barbecue." Gabriel took out the key and placed it on the table.

"It's impossible. Raphi and Kamikawa have the same idea as you, and it's useless even if Satania wants to eat sushi." Vigne explained.

Before deciding what to eat today, she asked for the opinions of Gabriel, Ren, Satania, and Raphiel.

After Gabriel suggested having barbecue, Ren and Raphiel immediately sided with her. Even if Satania wanted to eat something else, it was pointless.

Minorities obey the majority.

"Why am I not allowed to go where I want and eat what I want at all times?" Satania grumbled discontentedly.

Last holiday, they vetoed her proposal to go to the beach, and now her proposal to eat sushi was vetoed; it's really unfair.

"Impossible..."

Vigne couldn't answer that question and suddenly realized the keychain placed by Gabriel on the table, and took the initiative to change the topic: "Gab, your keychain is really cute, where did you buy it?"

"Kamikawa gave it to me, I don't know."

Gabriel took the teddy bear keychain, shook it, and said proudly.
