"I want to go to the aquarium."
Ren put down his cell phone, looked at Gabriel and answered.
He hoped Gabriel would take the hint and offer to take him there.
"You can go if you want. Besides, tomorrow is Sunday."
Gabriel answered casually, then looked away and continued playing.
She thought that Ren would continue to ask for her help, which made her wait in vain.
"…"
In relation to this, Ren chose to remain silent.
If he could go to a large entertainment venue like the aquarium alone, he would have gone there long ago.
Unfortunately, his strength was far from enough to allow him to go to the aquarium alone.
The main reason was that he didn't know what to do to look like an ordinary person when going to such a place.
Even though he had prepared a strategy in advance.
For example, when he went to the amusement park today, he had clearly checked the amusement park's guidelines, but he still didn't know that he couldn't wear glasses when riding the roller coaster.
If it weren't for Chika, Ren might have faced a rather embarrassing situation.
Therefore, Ren couldn't go to such a place alone, someone had to take him with her.
But if he went out with someone he didn't know well, his true appearance would be easily exposed. Today's trip to the amusement park is an example.
For the reasons above, Ren prefers to go with Gabriel rather than Nino.
Seeing Gabriel still playing the game, Ren decided to invite her to try it.
In the past, several girls asked him to go out together on weekends. This was enough to show that taking other people out was a normal behavior for ordinary people.
In that case, it shouldn't be a problem for him to try inviting Gabriel.
After hesitating for a moment, Ren asked her based on the content of the email Nino had just sent: "Gabriel, are you free tomorrow?"
"Not necessarily," Gabriel thought for a moment, then turned to him, "What's wrong?"
"I want to take you to the aquarium tomorrow."
Under her gaze, Ren said this sentence completely with difficulty.
"Want to play?"
Gabriel confirmed with some doubts.
She never thought that one day she would receive an invitation from Ren to go play, it was very rare.
"Correct."
Ren nodded.
This was the first time he had asked someone to go with him, so he remained hopeful that Gabriel would agree.
"Then it's better to just skip it. I have to play a game tomorrow."
After sighing for a while, Gabriel firmly refused.
Recently, the game she was playing had a new event, which was time-consuming but also very rewarding.
At first she felt like she didn't have enough time because she had to go to school, it was finally the weekend, and she didn't want to waste extra time going out to play.
Even though it was an invitation from Ren.
There would be plenty of opportunities to hang out with Ren in the future, but once the event was over, it was truly over.
Given the inimitable nature of the event, Gabriel could only refuse.
She was sure Ren would understand.
It was rejected...
This result did not surprise Ren at all.
Because when the girls invited him, he rejected most of them, so he was also rejected by Gabriel, and he could accept it.
But in this case, if he wanted to go to the aquarium, he had no choice but to agree to Nino's invitation.
The option of going there again in the future was not within his consideration for now.
Now that Gabriel's invitation to go to the aquarium has been rejected, the outcome of other future invitations will definitely be the same.
So the method of asking Gabriel to take him there wouldn't work.
As for inviting other people?
Ren didn't think anyone else would want to go to the aquarium together besides Gabriel.
But...
After pondering for a long time, Ren made a decision.
"I want to agree, but I don't want to get caught. Is there a way?" He handed the phone to Gabriel and asked again.
Nino's invitation may be his only chance to go to the aquarium.
Ren didn't want to be left behind.
After reading the email, Gabriel immediately understood why Ren had asked her for a walk just now.
"You went to the aquarium with her, but you don't want your true appearance to be exposed, right?" Gabriel summarized his needs.
"Yes."
Ren hoped that Gabriel could find something, otherwise he would have no choice but to refuse.
After controlling his character to a safe position, Gabriel began to have second thoughts.
His request was so embarrassing that she couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.
But for Ren, she could only continue to think hard.
"Kamikawa, actually you can wear a mask directly, but it must be in the name of Kamikawa Naoki."
After a while, Gabriel finally spoke.
She thought of a rather strange way, which in a sense would not reveal Ren's true appearance.
"Just go straight, you won't get caught..."
"What does Ren have to do with Naoki revealing his true appearance?" Gabriel said matter-of-factly.
"?"
Ren looked at Gabriel with a confused expression.
Obviously what Gabriel just said wasn't complicated, but why didn't he understand what she meant when they were put together.
"You can think of Ren and Naoki as two different people. There is no relationship between them unless they are both you."
Gabriel already thought Ren wouldn't understand, so she started explaining without waiting for him to speak.
"Then, if tomorrow you wear a mask, don't wear glasses, and assume the identity of Kamikawa Naoki, you won't let her know that your real identity is actually Kamikawa Ren."
Ren felt like he understood a little, but only a little.
Because Gabriel's words were too profound.
"If you still don't understand, you can assume Kamikawa Naoki as your other identity." Gabriel said in a different way.
After hearing the explanation, Ren felt like he understood a lot.
"No matter what Kamikawa Naoki does, won't it affect me?" Ren felt uneasy.
If this is true, then he can use Naoki's identity to do things he would normally want to do but dare not do.
For example, take the initiative to communicate with others rather than waiting for others to ask his questions.
"Of course, as long as you don't wear glasses when using Naoki's identity, and don't miss anything, even if you take off your mask, it won't have the slightest impact on you." Gabriel said confidently.
