6 Where Did Gabriel Go?

On Monday, Nagi strolled through the park several times as usual before heading to school.

A red-haired girl stumbled while running, chasing a white-haired Akita dog as it ran past him.

This girl's name is Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell, and like Gabriel, she also transferred to the school as a new student.

Satania has severe chuunibyou, her red hair as fiery as fireworks, her eyes bright and clear like rubies, and her figure petite, as light as a kitten.

She is full of energy at all times, as if she would never tire, like an active little devil. Although sometimes she behaves foolishly, her actions and words always make people feel very cute.

She often gets into embarrassing situations because of her useless words and actions, but she doesn't care and faces life with her unique style and attitude. This makes Nagi admire her very much.

Watching Satania and the puppy chasing each other on the street was one of the scenes he saw on the way to school last week.

Satania likes pineapple bread, but there's always a puppy nearby. Every time she takes out the pineapple bread, the little dog suddenly appears and stares at her bread with greedy eyes.

She always gets angry and tries to chase the dog away. However, the dog always cunningly wags its tail, bites her bread, and then runs away triumphantly.

This dog is truly one of Satania's biggest enemies, always causing her to lose her favorite food.

Last Thursday, Nagi finally couldn't stand it anymore and helped her defend her pineapple bread, punishing the puppy cruelly (meaning he beat it until it became weak again).

Satania noticed Nagi, she stopped and turned to the side to look at him.

"Ahem... Nanaba, you are the chosen one. I, Satania, am the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. I was commanded from the heavens to come here." She said with a deep tone, as if she were singing an epic song.

"I sincerely invite you to be my mount." She said seriously, "Burn this world to ashes with me!"

Nagi smiled all over his face, and when he interacted with her, he was always surrounded by the atmosphere she brought and interacted very happily.

"Satania, I brought an extra sandwich, do you want it?" He asked.

"Ugh, Nanaba, I don't even know how to thank you. How about I treat you to dinner after school?"

"Great, I want chocolate cake."

"Then you have to hand in your Japanese language practice book before you can enjoy it."

"Didn't you write it? Aren't you afraid Hiratsuka-sensei will make you stand in front of the class door?"

"With your practice book, don't I have something to write?"

"There's nothing I can do to you, Satania."

＊＊＊

After they entered the class together, Nagi was surrounded by his classmates and talked to them.

Satania sat back in her seat, and Vigne, who sat in that seat, came and asked with concern.

"The first class today is Japanese. Satania, have you finished your homework? Hiratsuka-sensei specifically asked me to check your homework before leaving class last week."

"Huh, what do you think this is?" Satania covered her face and laughed.

"Nanaba's practice book? How could you steal your classmate's practice book? Hurry up and bring it here, and I'll return it to Nanaba-san."

"No, no, no, this is what they graciously presented to me." As she spoke, she raised her index finger and wiggled it.

Vigne looked at Satania and sighed helplessly. "Satania, if you always rely on other students' homework to pass, your grades will only get worse."

Satania pursed her lips and said with a mocking tone, "You don't understand, Vigne, Nanaba is my mount, so he and I are not classmates." After saying that, she shrugged and turned to look out the window.

(Haaa... Satania, when will you ever make me feel comfortable? If only you could have half of Gab's attitude in studying. By the way, did Gab take a day off today? The school bell will ring and I don't see her.)

Last week, they always went to and from school together, today, after waiting for a long time in front of Gabriel's door, Vigne knocked on the door but couldn't get Gabriel's answer, so she had to go to school alone.

＊＊＊

Until lunch break, Gabriel still hadn't shown up.

No response after sending messages, which made Vigne very worried.

She had no choice but to ask Satania. "Satania, do you know why Gab didn't come to school today? I sent her a message and she didn't reply."

Satania said with a slight surprise. "Eh? Didn't she come to school today? No wonder she didn't catch my attention. My old enemy Gabriel, hahahaha, she must have been sent back to heaven by me. Besides, she's a coward!"

Vigne frowned, feeling that Satania wouldn't help in finding Gabriel.

"Nanaba-kun!"

"Nanaba?"

"Last week, on the way home, Gab and I saw him and a Onee-san walking into the apartment building where we live. During this period, the Onee-san was still rubbing shoulders with Nanaba-san. Although Nanaba-san was powerless, he had no intention of resisting. We were too shocked to approach. He lives in the same apartment, maybe he knows something?"

"What?!... I want Nababa to tell me who that woman is! How dare she try to steal my mount!!!"

"That's not your focus!!"

＊＊＊

As Vigne brought Satania to look for Nagi, he hid in a corner of the school bench reading a novel.

They approached and sat down beside him.

"Nanaba-kun, Gab didn't come to school today. Do you know why?" Vigne asked directly.

"Gabriel?... That's impossible... Could she still be at home?..."

Nagi put down his novel, feeling a little embarrassed, remembering what happened last night.

He remembered that he went to Gabriel's house and played "Border World" with him until morning. When he left, he persuaded Gabriel to sleep.

Hearing Nagi's words, Vigne felt puzzled. According to Nagi, Gabriel is at home. He would have answered her knock in the morning, but so far she hasn't shown up. This finally made her unable to hold back any longer.

"Satania... No, Nanaba-san, help me ask permission from Hiratsuka-sensei. I'll go to Gab's apartment to look for her now!"

After that, she immediately left. Seeing her worried back, Nagi slowly took out his phone and called Gabriel. As expected, no one answered.

(Gabriel, it seems I can't help you anymore.)
