I Like How You Dress Like This
As she entered the kitchen, she stretched her head and secretly glanced at Ren. Realizing that he might not follow her, Gabriel calmed her emotions, took out her phone, and found Raphiel's contact.
Gabriel: [How did you know that Kamikawa likes maid uniforms?]
After sending this message, she waited.
Honestly, she was very satisfied with Ren's recent reaction, especially when she heard she looked good in such attire.
So the question is, how did Raphiel know that Ren likes maid uniforms?
It's really confusing.
Not waiting long, Raphiel replied.
Raphiel: [Secret]
"..."
Gabriel wasn't surprised at all by Raphiel's answer.
It would be strange if she honestly revealed the reason.
As Gabriel was about to casually reply, another message came from Raphiel.
Raphiel: [It seems you're wearing a maid uniform. What's Kamikawa's reaction? Does he really like it?]
Gabriel: [Not wearing it, just curious why you think Kamikawa likes maid uniforms]
She didn't hesitate to deny that she was wearing a maid uniform; if she admitted it, Raphiel might tease her about it.
Raphiel: [I understand. By the way, when wearing a maid uniform, remember to address him as Goshujin-sama]
Gabriel: [Who wants to call him that!]
After responding like this, Gabriel put down her phone and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
"Really, I don't want to do something embarrassing like that."
While sighing, Gabriel filled a glass of water.
But after pouring the water, she didn't immediately leave; instead, her stayed in the kitchen and hesitating.
When she thought about facing Ren again like this, she felt very embarrassed.
After a while, she carefully walked out with the glass of water and found him sitting at the table. Gabriel pretended to be calm and placed the glass in front of him very naturally: "Here, Goshujin... Kamikawa."
"Hm?"
Hearing what Gabriel said, Ren could only look in his direction.
He had been to a maid cafe, and slhe had heard the term "Gosujin-sama" several times.
"Look, there's nothing on my face."
Realizing that she almost made a serious mistake in addressing Ren, Gabriel felt embarrassed.
Because of Raphiel's words, she didn't think much about it when she was in the kitchen earlier, and she almost said it out of excitement.
"Oh."
So, Ren shifted his gaze, took the glass of water, and sipped it.
Even though he wasn't very thirsty, Gabriel had poured water for him, so he drank.
Seeing that Ren seemed unaware that she had said something wrong, Gabriel felt much more comfortable, pretended nothing happened, and sat next to him.
As she sat down, Ren responded gently, "I like it."
"Eh? What do you like?"
His sudden words surprised Gabriel, who was still thinking about what had just happened.
"I like it when you dress like this."
Seeing her seemingly unresponsive, Ren uttered these words.
This was the answer he had been thinking about.
"Well, that's nice."
Gabriel also remembered this and lowered her head, hiding her blush, then asked hesitantly, "Um... Kamikawa, why do you like maid uniforms?"
Logically, someone like Ren, who wasn't interested in anything, shouldn't like maid uniforms. But Raphiel's words and Ren's reaction proved that he did like it, so she wanted to find out why he liked maid costumes.
(Then, maybe she'll fall in love with me too...)
"I don't like maid uniforms."
Facing her strange question, Ren was confused.
He didn't even like food, so how could he like clothes?
"You don't like it? Then why did you say earlier that you like maid uniforms?"
Hearing his answer, Gabriel raised her head and stared at him, regardless of still blushing.
He was sure Ren was lying; besides, after spending so much time with him, if he said he didn't like it, then he really didn't like it.
"What I like is you dressing like this, not maid uniforms," Ren corrected his statement quite seriously.
These two things couldn't be confused.
"So that's it..."
In an instant, Gabriel felt her mind go blank, and she couldn't think normally anymore.
If she followed his words, could she understand that what he liked wasn't the clothes on her body but her as a person?
Although Gabriel knew this was just her exaggerated interpretation, just thinking about it made her heart beat fast.
"How about that, Kamikawa, let me... Get you another glass of water. Look, you've already finished all the water."
After saying this, Gabriel took the glass and hurried back to the kitchen.
Ren: "???"
Didn't he just drink?
Entering the kitchen with a glass of water, Gabriel leaned against the wall, calming her unstable emotions.
She was on the verge of losing her composure now because of Ren's words.
But even so, her mind was still filled with what Ren had just said.
"What I like is you dressing like this..."
...
The next morning.
"Good morning, Gabriel."
Gabriel and Ren met Raphiel again on the way to school.
"Good morning, Raphi," Gabriel replied with a smile.
"You look very happy today. Did you find something joyful?" Raphiel approached and asked with a smile.
"Of course," Gabriel answered without hesitation.
Raphiel asked, "Well then, can you tell me what it is?"
"No, I plan to keep it a secret," Gabriel shook his head.
"You're also a bad student."
Raphiel wasn't completely dissatisfied with this, but just felt a little emotional.
"I didn't learn it from you. I wasn't like this before."
Gabriel blamed Raphiel, then looked at Ren, who was quietly listening to their conversation.
"But, it's quite nice."
