Let's take a photo together!

"…"

Gabriel suddenly has the idea to defeat Satania again.

Because of Ren's feelings, she deliberately agreed to take photos without opening the gift. Now that she took the initiative to say this, it didn't look like she was opening a gift.

"There's no rush to open the gift, let's talk about it after taking the photo."

Vigne came to Satania's side with a smile, patted her shoulder, and used a lot of strength in her hands.

"Ugh."

Feeling Vigne's slightly stronger hand on her shoulder, Satania felt that if she retaliated again, something bad would happen.

"That's right."

Vigne clapped her hands happily, then turned to another direction, then asked, "Let's take a photo?"

She didn't want the birthday party she ended up throwing for Gabriel to be embarrassing due to opening Ren's gifts.

As long as Gabriel don't open the gift now, everything will be fine.

"Does not matter."

Fumino made a wise choice, and Itsuki and Rizu, who were standing next to her, nodded repeatedly.

Taking photos together was a process they had agreed to, and the purpose was to keep memories, so naturally they couldn't refuse it.

Especially after seeing Vigne's reaction.

"I have no opinion."

Raphiel tilted her head and looked at the gift box Gabriel had put away, and agreed.

From this point of view, Ren's gift was an extraordinary thing.

"…"

Ren looked at the other people who decided to take pictures and became a little confused.

He didn't want to take photos, not even with lots of people.

But if they all agreed, if he now said that he didn't want to be photographed, would that make him look special?

But...

Before he had time to decide whether to refuse, Gabriel suddenly came, took his left hand, and walked towards the place specifically reserved for taking photos.

"Stop being dazed, it's time to take pictures."

"...Oh."

Seeing the left hand held by Gabriel, Ren was stunned, and was taken there before he could even utter his rebuttal.

This seemed to be the first time he had held hands with Gabriel.

Feeling the warmth in his hand, Ren felt a strange feeling for some reason.

This was something he had never experienced before.

Seems pretty good.

"Kamikawa-san, you are taller, can you stand behind Gab?"

Once there, Vigne held the selfie stick in her hand, adjusted the angle, and began giving instructions.

Since they were taking a group photo, they had to pay more attention to the position.

"…"

After thinking for a moment, Ren walked behind Gabriel.

At the same time, Gabriel blushed and let go of her hand, pretending that nothing had happened, and studied the shooting angle with Vigne.

Looking at the girls surrounding him, Ren chose to remain silent.

Considering that today was Gabriel's birthday, he just had to endure an incident that he didn't want to experience at all.

The main reason was because everyone had already agreed, if he still refused, it would mean he was no longer a member of the majority, a feeling he also didn't want to experience.

So, he still chose to take photos.

At the very least, he could take photos with everyone so he wouldn't stand out too much.

As he thought about this, everyone else also took their respective positions.

Because there are eight people taking photos together and using selfie sticks, the distance must be relatively close together.

Therefore, under Vigne's command, they divided into three lines.

At the front are Rizu and Satania, in the middle are Vigne, Gabriel, and Raphiel. As the present protagonist, Gabriel stands in the center without hesitation.

Behind were Itsuki, Ren and Fumino, while Ren also stood in the middle.

"Closer."

Vigne, who was holding a selfie stick, looked at the image on her cellphone screen, still a little dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Ren had no choice but to move forward a little, approaching Gabriel.

On both sides, Fumino and Itsuki also leaned towards him at the same time and pressed his shoulders.

"…"

Very smooth feeling.

"Is this okay?" Itsuki asked shyly.

"It's almost done," Vigne answered, "Are you ready? I'll start taking photos."

"Three two one..."

With a "click", the scene stopped.

"Let's see how it goes."

Taking back her phone, Vigne clicked on the photo, and the other girls gathered around her.

Ren took this opportunity to leave, returned to the dining table, and sat down in his chair.

He doesn't like photos, rather than being photographed himself, he prefers to be a photographer and help them take photos.

Unfortunately he couldn't say such words yet.

"Very good, Gab, what do you think?"

After seeing the photos, Vigne asked Gabriel.

"Good!" Gabriel gave a thumbs up.

This photo is pretty good, except for Ren, basically everyone knows that they are smiling, and no one blinks, it can be said to be perfect.

As for Ren not smiling, Gabriel didn't care at all.

She had known him for so long and she had never seen his smile.

Now just taking photos together and wanting to see Ren's smile is really wishful thinking.

"How do you feel? If you feel something is wrong, we will shoot again."

Vigne handed the phone to Fumino so they could see it clearly.

"I feel this is very good, no need to take another shot."

Fumino quickly gave her assessment.

Others also agreed with this view and did not ask to take any more photos.

"Then let's take this one. When the time comes, we will exchange LINE and I will send you this photo."

"Um."

"By the way, Gab, let's take a photo just the two of us."

Taking back the cell phone, Vigne sent out another invitation.

"Eh?"

Before Gabriel could refuse, Vigne grabbed her and continued taking photos.

Ren who was sitting in a chair, watched all this with great interest.

After a while, Gabriel came and sat beside Ren naturally.

"Very tired."

Gabriel slumped in the chair and said weakly.

As the protagonist, she has been taken many times to be photographed, and she has not been released until now.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ren thought for a moment and comforted her.

"It's hard work." Gabriel leaned against the back of the chair and looked at Ren, "But more than this, I want to know why you didn't wish me a happy birthday."

She always remembered this incident.
