Chapter 98

Kitakami Yoru didn't pay attention to her and went back to the bedroom to read for an hour.

It wasn't until the time was about right that he changed his clothes and walked out.

"Hmm, Kitakami, are you going out?"

Gabriel opened her eyes and said, looking at Kitakami Yoru.

"Get a haircut."

Kitakami Yoru adjusted his uncomfortable underwear—it was too big and uncomfortable—and gestured with his fingers in the shape of scissors.

"Vignette will come to find me later; shall we go out together?"

Gabriel suggested.

Hearing what Gabriel said, Kitakami Yoru remembered who Vignette was, so he nodded.

Squeezing onto the small sofa, San-san jumped directly into his arms, so he played with it using a cat teaser.

That was about ten minutes later.

"Sumimasen, sorry to bother you~"

Vignette took off her shoes at the door and walked in curiously.

Gabriel had already sent her a message and told her.

After greeting, they weren't in a hurry to set off, so Vignette sat down and chatted for a while.

The cute San-san couldn't let anyone who saw it walk away, so it was borrowed to her hands again.

"Speaking of which, I called Satanichia before, but she didn't agree to come..."

Vignette said to Gabriel while gently stroking San-san.

"Her voice is really so gentle~"

Kitakami Yoru secretly commented on Vignette's voice.

"Ah, it's Satanichia?"

Gabriel yawned without caring at all.

Satanichia, who was noisy in the classroom all day, exposing herself as a demon from the Demon World, and shouting every day that she wanted to become a great demon and make the humble humans submit.

The ridiculous thing was that no one in the class took it seriously, and they all regarded Satanichia as a cute foreign exchange student with middle-school syndrome.

No one suspected Satanichia's true identity!

Gabriel and Vignette had a good relationship, but as for her relationship with Satanichia, it wasn't good or bad; it was actually a bit strange.

"I'm completely defeated by Satanichia." Gabriel's mouth twitched, and she said speechlessly.

"No, Vignette, my most loyal friend from hell, you betrayed me and also betrayed our Demon World, actually falling to the point of becoming good friends with an angel..."

The demon Satanichia in Gabriel's mouth was now downstairs in the apartment, hiding behind a utility pole, staring at Kitakami Yoru's house and muttering to herself, her expression as if she were experiencing life-and-death grief.

In the next second, Satanichia's expression changed faster than turning a page, and she slumped down, looking pitiful.

(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)

"Ah~ Vignette~"

Satanichia actually also wanted to go shopping with Vignette.

At this moment, taking advantage of the gap when Satanichia wasn't paying attention.

Kitakami Yoru pushed the door out first and stood in the balcony corridor.

Gabriel came out a little later, turned around, and went home to change clothes, and Vignette was last.

"See you later."

Waving her little hand, she said goodbye to San-san.

"He... that fat guy?"

When Satanichia cast her gaze again, she unexpectedly saw Kitakami Yoru.

"I remember seeing him walking with Gabriel a long time ago, right?"

"The two of them look like they have a good relationship."

Satanichia was stunned for a few seconds and started to ponder and recall.

Gabriel changed her clothes quickly, wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and walked out.

After exchanging a few words, they left the apartment.

"Hmm?"

Gabriel walked at the end and looked suspiciously at the utility pole behind which Satanichia had just been hiding.

Nothing there.

Did she make a mistake?

Gabriel scratched her messy blonde hair.

"Mere angel, don't even think about discovering my tracks."

Satanichia only flashed out from the shadows afterward and quietly followed Kitakami Yoru and the others.

Her gaze also kept switching back and forth between Kitakami Yoru and Gabriel.

The three of them didn't go to the station along the way but chose to walk.

Vignette and Gabriel didn't intend to go to big shopping districts or tourist attractions with high-rise buildings; they didn't even go to department stores.

Instead, they chose the market street about a half-hour walk from the apartment.

Very full of life.

The road was built very wide and very new; it wasn't the old, broken, and small one he had imagined, but rather neat, orderly, bright, and magnificent.

Shops lined the street.

"Coming, coming, spend over 3,000 yen and get a lottery draw; the first prize is a seven-day trip to Okinawa from a travel agency; summer is here."

"Fresh fruit, fresh Kumamoto Prefecture watermelons, air-freighted just last week..."

"July eel, July eel, fresh eel, on sale at a discount..."

Kitakami Yoru was holding a bag of fruit and stopped in front of a fish stall.

Gabriel and Vignette naturally stopped as well.

"Young man, look at this eel; it's especially fat and fresh, how about it?"

"Look, how about I give you a glove, and you catch one to try how energetic it is?"

The fish stall uncle was wearing a white headscarf and was selling hard to Kitakami Yoru.

"Let me see."

Kitakami Yoru stepped forward and poked his head to look at the fresh eels in the big bucket, squeezed together one by one, secreting white mucus and slippery.

Japanese people like to eat eel and use various ways to cook it.

Including kabayaki, charcoal grilling, tempura, etc.

There was also a habit.

That was eating eel in July.

Generally, they would eat it on July 25th.

A term was even born because of this: Doyo no Ushi no Hi.

Even some shops that didn't do eel, such as the chain Yoshinoya, would launch limited-time eel rice.

Every year in the past, his mom, Kitakami Megumi, would make it for Kitakami Yoru.

"Eww, so scary~"

The curious Gabriel stepped forward and learned from Kitakami Yoru to poke her head in.

Seeing the dense, black, long, worm-like meat strips tangled together and still moving, Gabriel's face sank, and she immediately backed away.

"Is it scary?"

Vignette looked at Gabriel's performance, couldn't help but go up to take a look, and hurriedly backed away.

"Ah, are the two little sisters foreigners?"

"Rarely see eels? Don't be afraid."

"It's okay, they're not snakes, they're not poisonous, and they're very delicious no matter how you cook them."

The uncle started selling to Gabriel and Vignette again.

"Do you want to eat this, Kitakami?"

Gabriel had long since stopped adding the classmate suffix and asked Kitakami Yoru suspiciously.
