593 Ren Who Lives Next to Me

After opening the door, Ren immediately went to the table, temporarily ignoring the thermos box placed on the dining table.

He had just eaten half a bowl of udon noodles recently, so he wasn't too hungry, it didn't matter if he would eat it later.

The important thing now was to see the letter Gabriel had written for him.

This was the first time he received a letter.

Placing both letters on the table, Ren sat down on the chair.

After some hesitation, he chose to open Gabriel's letter first.

Carefully tearing open the envelope, he pulled out the letter.

Opening the letter paper, Ren began to read.

[Kamikawa Ren, who lives next to me:]

"That's Gabriel."

Seeing Gabriel's address to him, Ren sighed.

Gabriel usually called him Kamikawa, but now she used a strange title.

This made him slightly uncomfortable.

[In general, the first sentence of the letter should be something pleasant. Unfortunately, I don't know how to write greetings, and considering our relationship, I will omit the greeting here.]

[Also, you are prohibited from feeling dissatisfied with the name I call you. This is something I found with great difficulty. My exclusive title (this sentence has been blackened and crossed out)]

"Okay."

Seeing Gabriel saying so in letter, Ren accepted the title.

As for the lack of pleasantries, he didn't mind at all.

Moreover, as Gabriel said in her letter, with their close friendship, it was okay to omit the useless greetings.

[Due to regional differences and the speed of mail delivery, I don't know when you will receive this letter, so I will just inform you of my current situation.]

[The first one is very boring. We have nothing here. My laptop and game console can't be used, so I can only lie in bed and sleep all day.]

"You can't fool around in heaven."

Ren made an analysis.

When Gabriel said it couldn't be used, she might mean it was forbidden by heaven.

[And in the first few days after I returned, I suffered from severe insomnia and couldn't sleep at all. Recently, I've been getting better.]

This was the first time Ren learned that Gabriel suffered from insomnia.

Before, Gabriel often got excited and played games all night, then stayed in bed.

Turns out no game console or laptop had that much impact on Gabriel.

It was truly unexpected.

[Secondly, it's still boring. Not only do I have no job, I don't even have anyone to talk to. Although I have a younger sister, she's still too young and we don't have any common topics at all. That's why Raphi can talk to me when she comes to see me.]

Seeing this, Ren began to worry about Gabriel's living environment.

[The third one is such a hassle to clean up. I actually don't want to clean up at all. If only you were here. (This sentence is blackened and not visible at all)]

[Fourth... Forget it, I'm too lazy to count which number this is, it's so tiring to write them out one by one. I really don't know how others list them.]

[In short, my life is very boring, there's nothing to do.]

After reading this page, Ren turned to the second page.

[By the way, how was your summer vacation? Did you hang out all day and night? Or did you do something else? Are you eating well and on time?]

[I don't want to see you malnourished when I return. Let me be the one to suffer.]

[I hope you can save me from trouble.]

"Not gonna happen."

He had Asumi cooking for him, so Ren definitely wouldn't be malnourished.

[Of course, I don't care too much about your life. Anyway, I've asked Kirisu-sensei to take care of you well.]

[But if you want to write a letter to me, it's not impossible. (This sentence is written in red ink and very striking)]

[If you want to reply to me, my address is on the envelope, you can try sending it. Don't forget to affix the stamp, it makes sense! (Still marked with red ink)]

"You didn't put a stamp on it."

Taking the envelope, Ren looked at Gabriel's address, but there was no stamp.

However, he still made a note to reply.

[Also, don't forget to do your summer vacation homework. I don't plan on wasting my time doing summer homework. If so, I'll need your help.]

"I definitely won't forget."

It was very easy to finish summer vacation homework, not to mention there wasn't much homework.

[I've written so much without realizing it, I'm very skilled at it. Of course, when I first started writing, I was still dizzy thinking about what to write.]

[By the way, wouldn't it be better to stop writing here? I don't know what to write.]

[Ah, I know what to write now.]

[Okay, let's end the letter here. The ink is running out a bit.]

[By the way, the pen you gave me is quite useful.]

[Hope your summer vacation is enjoyable.]

The letter ended here, and all that remained was the signature.

[Gabriel White Tenma, the smart and cute, living next to you.]

"Why are there so many scribbles?"

Seeing the large black area on the second page of the letter, Ren was slightly worried about this.

"Did she write it wrong? But maybe there were too many places wrong."

After thinking for a moment, Ren dismissed the idea of using superpowers to restore the writing.

Since Gabriel erased it, it meant it was something he didn't want to see, so he didn't need to do such a thing.

Setting aside Gabriel's letter, Ren took the letter sent to him by Raphiel.

He looked forward to what Raphiel would write in the letter.

He tore open the envelope and pulled out a thin sheet of letter paper.

He unfolded the letter and read it again.

Unlike Gabriel's letter, Raphiel's letter was very short, just one sentence.

[Gab misses you a lot]

Signature: [Raphiel, who often stays with Gab during summer vacation]

"Umh..."

After making sure he had read Raphiel's letter correctly, Ren took back Gabriel's letter and read it again.

"No, she didn't write it."

He read it very carefully this time and didn't miss a single line, but he still didn't see Gabriel writing the word "miss".

Gabriel wrote about trivial things in life, complaints, etc.

"Raphi must have written it wrong."

By combining these two letters, Ren made a reasonable guess.
