This demon is highly suspicious.

Vignette was naturally aware of the faint red marks that could be seen at Gabriel's collar.

Strawberry print, huh? Don't act like nobody knows anything about it.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you can still have seen pigs run, right?

Although she was somewhat uncertain at first, after seeing Gabriel's attempt to cover up her secret, Winette became certain of her thoughts.

The two probably didn't go all the way to home base last night. According to Xiao Jia, Luo Xia went home after dinner in the evening.

Yes, it was takeout ordered by the two of them.

You can't expect these two to be able to cook or anything like that.

First of all, Gabriel herself doesn't have the habit of preparing ingredients or anything like that.

Secondly, their cooking skills can only be described as eccentric.

Gabriel used to be an all-around angel when it came to housework, but now, all she can do is make sure she doesn't make a mess of food while eating.

Rorschach wasn't much better off.

He's better than Gabriel.

After finishing their meal, they knew to put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink to wash.

But as for cooking...

He can wash dishes (crossed out).

"Good morning, Innocent Student."

"Ah, it's Hori."

Looking at Hori Kyoko blocking her way, Gabriel tugged at her collar uncomfortably.

Because they had previously eaten all the food, watched dramas, and shipped the two characters, Gabriel and Hori Kyoko were fairly familiar with each other.

Suddenly blocked by Hori Kyoko and feeling the other's teasing gaze, Gabriel was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Although I specifically chose a high-necked top when I went out today, I still felt a little guilty.

The main problem is that Rorschach, that idiot, planted the strawberry in a slightly higher spot.

Because of this, Gabriel pinned him to the bed and beat him up.

After all, getting a hickey is actually a very dangerous thing. It's okay if it's on the collarbone, but it can be very dangerous on the neck.

If you don't understand, look it up yourself. Just consider it a little-known fact that you might not need every day.

Although being an angel doesn't have these concerns, it's still very embarrassing!

Enraged, Gabriel left her teeth marks on Rorschach's palm.

"Oh ho~"

Kyoko Hori carefully examined Gabriel's outfit today and made a sound that was difficult to understand.

Although it seemed like nothing, Hori Kyoko had already made up her mind.

A couple of days ago, Luo Xia suddenly came to me asking for advice on how to pursue girls.

He even asked himself what kind of gifts girls would prefer.

Although she was somewhat taken aback at first, Hori Kyoko quickly figured out the problem.

If Luo Xia, this guy who's always causing trouble, really has someone he likes, then it can only be his innocent classmate.

Although Luo Xia is surrounded by many girls, upon closer inspection, it seems that only Tianzhen is a suitable match.

The others are just ordinary friends.

Well, except for Satania.

Rorschach always believed that Satania, this dim-witted fellow, could only end up as his follower as the Demon King.

And it's the kind of distance that you have to keep.

After all, intellectual disability is contagious, especially for someone like Satania who doesn't seem very smart and just laughs around all day.

You never know when you might lead everyone around you astray.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a bit sad that Tianzhen and Luo Xia have gotten together."

Kyoko Hori leaned close to Gabriel and whispered with a grin.

Tianzhen, who usually never wears jewelry because she finds it troublesome, was wearing a bracelet on her wrist that looked like a couple's bracelet today.

The pendant is a cute cat.

It seems that it can form a complete pattern with the other half.

There's also a cute-looking ring on the middle finger of her right hand.

These signs indicate that Gabriel is in a relationship.

Moreover, it has reached a point where it can be made public.

Then recall what Iura Hide shouted in the classroom earlier: "Rorschach, are you going to meet Tenma's parents?!"

The relationship between the two is already very clear.

They are undoubtedly a couple, and may even be engaged.

After all, they've already progressed to the point of meeting each other's parents.

".......Um."

Gabriel tilted her head slightly, paused for two seconds, and then responded in a voice barely audible.

Although they were already in a relationship, and she no longer felt awkward when she was with Luo Xia.

But it's still embarrassing and shameful in front of outsiders.

It would be better if you admitted it yourself, but this means that others have seen through you!

Of course, it's shameful as it may be.

Gabriel would never do something like denying something in front of others.

After all, if you've already established a relationship, you should definitely admit it. Those who date but don't make it official and keep it a secret always give the impression of fishing, preparing for the next fish to take the bait.

"so good."

Looking at Gabriel's slightly flushed cheeks, Hori Kyoko sighed.

On the one hand, such a clear attitude is truly enviable. At the beginning, I and Miyamura were always hesitant and indecisive, but in the end, it was Miyamura who took the initiative to make a direct approach.

On the other hand, while Rorschach and Gabriel were shipping her, wasn't she also shipping the two of them?

Both directions went to belong to yes.

Seeing the two of them successfully get together now still evokes some mixed feelings.

It feels like my own child has finally grown up.

"Oh, good morning, Rorschach."

Iura Hide's loud voice came from the front door.

Wearing his school uniform, Luo Xia walked into the classroom through the front door.

Like Gabriel, she wears an adorable cat bracelet on her wrist and a matching ring on the middle finger of her right hand.

It was quite noticeable on Rorschach's long, slender fingers.

Chapter 336 Marriage is indeed a troublesome thing

"Good morning, Rorschach. What's this in your hand...?"

As usual, Takashi Natsume greeted Rorschach upon arriving at the classroom.

Although I have been at this school for a long time, I am determined to make a slight change to my previous lifestyle.

However, Takashi Natsume doesn't have many people he can truly call friends.

Or rather, there were very few people besides Luo Xia and his group.

No matter how harmonious they seemed on the surface, there was always a faint sense of estrangement and distance in Natsume Takashi's heart.

It felt as if I and they were not in the same world.

Even when they laugh together, it's not because they share the same joy.

Rather, it was because of something else.

This feeling is not pleasant.

Fortunately, Takashi Natsume was already used to it.

That's how it's been all these years anyway.

He even felt more comfortable with monsters than with humans.

Although many people nowadays say they believe in the existence of monsters and supernatural forces.

But most of them are just paying lip service to the idea of ​​something.

It's just that there are unhappy and unsatisfactory things in real life, so they place their emotions on things that they know in their hearts can't possibly exist.

It's like Rikka from Touka!!

Unable to accept her father's departure, she became immersed in a world of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) and stubbornly rejected the kindness of others.

He fantasized about being a powerful magician, as if that would change his sad reality.

Takashi Natsume did not have such thoughts.

But he would occasionally have thoughts like, "Ah, let's just disappear like this." or "I guess the monster world is more suitable for me."

This is very bad news for a human being.

As the person who knows Natsume Takashi best and is closest to him, Nyanko-sensei has never commented on Natsume's thoughts.

No matter what decision Natsume ultimately makes, Nyanko-sensei will support him.
