Healing Angel: "Why'd you log in so late today? Weren't you already ho ages ago?"
After spending so ti in the bathroom subduing Tohru—and letting her thoroughly overwrite his scent—Shin finally logged into the online ga.
And the mont he did, sure enough, Gabriel's private ssage popped up, filled with complaints.
After all, Gabriel's gaming ti nowadays was a race against the clock. She had to grind dungeons and dailies with ruthless efficiency.
Every minute Shin delayed logging in was a minute stolen from her precious playti—naturally, she was furious.
She had literally watched him arrive ho, yet he'd made her wait over an hour before coming online.
Zuke: "Ahem, Tohru needed help with sothing, so I got held up."
Of course, Shin couldn't outright say he'd spent the last hour exercising with Tohru in the bathroom. He vaguely brushed it off as "helping with sothing."
But Gabriel wasn't stupid. After working as a maid in Shin's household for a while and interacting with the other girls there, she'd picked up on his relationships with them.
As an angel, Gabriel didn't judge Shin's private life—after all, the Bible alone had plenty of figures with far ssier affairs.
That didn't stop her from looking down on his behavior, though.
Healing Angel: "You jumped straight into that the mont you got ho? Are you insane? How is that more important than gaming?!"
In Gabriel's eyes, how could that possibly be more fun than an online ga? Gaming was obviously the superior choice!
Shin understood her perspective—after all, Gabriel had never done that kind of thing. The most scandalous thing she'd experienced was probably kissing him.
Not that Shin denied gaming was fun, but it wasn't so amazing that he'd ignore real-life girls for it.
Then again, maybe it was because the girls around him never made him work too hard to earn their affection. If he had to go through extre lengths just to please them, he'd probably choose gaming too.
Zuke: "You've never done it, so of course you wouldn't know how it feels."
Shin's simple reply instantly shut Gabriel up.
She hadn't done it. In fact, aside from Shin, she'd barely even spoken to boys. Asking her to compare the pleasures of that to gaming was downright unfair.
Yet, after reading his ssage, a sudden thought flashed through Gabriel's mind—
Maybe I should let Shin teach just how good it feels?
Of course, the mont this idea surfaced, she violently shook her head, slapped her burning cheeks, and growled:
"Ugh! It's all this guy's fault for doing weird stuff all the ti! Now even I'm starting to think strange things!"
Though it was just a fleeting thought, it planted a peculiar seed in Gabriel's mind.
For now, though, she suppressed it and poured all her focus into the ga. She needed to vent the frustration that had suddenly welled up inside her.
———
Around midnight, Shin noticed Gabriel logging off.
This was the first ti he'd ever seen her go offline before him. Ever since they'd beco gaming buddies, Gabriel had never quit before Shin.
It seed Vignette's "normal sleep schedule" rule was strict—probably sothing like "lights out by 12 AM, no exceptions."
For the sake of her precious gaming gear, Gabriel had no choice but to obey her "demon" overlord.
She was probably saving up to buy back the Horn of Apocalypse before asking Vignette to undo her Stand's restrictions.
But Shin wasn't the only one surprised by Gabriel's early logout—even their teammates were baffled.
Girl A: "Hey Zuke, what's up with Healing Angel? She logged off early yesterday too."
One of their more skilled teammates, "Girl A," privately ssaged Shin, curious about Gabriel's sudden change.
This "Girl A" had once claid to be a high school girl, but since she could effortlessly discuss otaku topics—even adult gas—nobody took her seriously.
Shin didn't assu "Girl A" was another rare, beautiful girl with a gaming addiction like Gabriel. He just casually replied:
Zuke: "Maybe she's just tired? Also, why ask ? Shouldn't you ask her directly?"
Girl A: "Oh co on~ You're obviously closest to Healing Angel. I'm starting to think you two might've even t in real life."
Surprisingly, "Girl A's" intuition was sharp. Just from observing Shin and Gabriel's in-ga dynamic, she'd picked up on their real-world connection.
But since Shin had no idea if "Girl A" was actually a girl, reading that ssage gave him goosebumps.
Zuke: "Getting scrutinized this closely by soone who might be a dude feels... weird."
Girl A: "I told you I'm a real-life high school girl! Why does nobody believe ?!"
Clearly annoyed, "Girl A" fired back.
Girl A: "If you ever co to Saitama, hit up. We'll et, and then you'll see I'm not lying."
Zuke: "If you are a high school girl, casually revealing your location is dangerous. Where's your self-preservation?"
Girl A: "Relax, I trust you. Besides, Saitama's huge—it's not like I gave you my exact address, right?"
After chatting a bit longer, Shin logged off and got ready for bed.
Though he got along with "Girl A" in-ga, he didn't take her claims seriously.
eting one beautiful girl like Gabriel in an online ga was already rare. What were the odds of stumbling upon another?
There's no way online gas are just packed with cute girls waiting for to find them.
