Hearing Gabriel's question.
Lin smiled faintly and said:
"I feel my skills are average."
"Then let's add each other as friends!"
"We can play together then."
Hearing Lin say his skills were average, Gabriel's eyes lit up slightly. She directly took out her phone from her pocket.
Then she smiled confidently:
"My skills are pretty good too. I can carry you later."
"You just need to cheer '666' for me, and I guarantee I'll take you flying."
Hmph hmph hmph. (へ*)ノ
These days of hard practice had already shown great improvement.
She just needed a noob beside her shouting '666' to enjoy the thrill of being a big shot.
"Sure."
Lin took out his own phone.
He exchanged email addresses and LINE contacts with Gabriel. Then he looked at Vignette with a smile and said:
"Tsukinosē, let's exchange contacts too. After all, we're friends now, so it's convenient for future contact."
"O-Okay."
Hearing Lin say this, Vignette's eyes flickered slightly as she thought of something. She smiled and nodded lightly.
She then took out her phone.
Watching Lin exchange contacts with Vignette and Gabriel, Satania bit down hard on an egg tart.
Her cheeks puffed up slightly.
She inexplicably felt a bit uncomfortable.
Just like when the angel's lackey stole her pineapple bun.
Gabriel put away her phone.
She picked up her drink and took a sip.
The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, different from her initial listless and lazy demeanor.
This time being dragged out by Vignette wasn't without gain.
After exchanging contacts with Lin, Vignette looked at him, curiosity emerging in her eyes.
"What's up?"
Noticing Vignette's gaze, Lin looked at her with a smile and said:
"Since we've become friends, say whatever you want to say."
"Be casual. Do I look scary?"
"I think I'm pretty approachable."
Satania and Gabriel both looked toward Vignette upon hearing this.
Satania couldn't help but speak up:
"Yeah, Lin is great. Vignette, just say whatever you want."
"Alright, sorry."
Vignette's cheeks flushed slightly, looking a bit embarrassed.
She looked at Lin curiously and asked:
"Can I ask boldly what exactly you are, Lin?"
"If it's inconvenient, please pretend I didn't ask."
Her understanding of the Human Realm was actually limited.
In her previous cognition, the Human Realm was almost all ordinary people.
With only a very few special existences.
Precisely because the Human Realm was almost all ordinary people, they needed to hide their true identities upon coming here.
They even couldn't casually use their powers.
After more than a month in the Human Realm, Lin was the first human she'd met who could wield supernatural power.
So she was curious.
Hearing Vignette's question, Gabriel also looked toward Lin.
A hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
Come to think of it, she was interested too.
"Hmph hmph, I know."
Before Lin could answer, Satania smiled smugly.
She looked toward Gabriel boastfully.
However, Gabriel just glanced at her, completely ignoring her.
Satania didn't mind this time.
After all, she knew before Gabriel, and she met Lin before Gabriel, becoming good friends first.
So she'd won several times that way.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she happily laughed.
"Uh hahaha..."
"???"
Seeing Satania suddenly laugh maniacally to herself, Lin, Vignette, and Gabriel were slightly stunned.
Helplessness appeared on Vignette's face.
Gabriel looked at Satania as if she were an idiot.
The other people in the shop froze upon hearing Satania's demonic laughter, all looking over.
"Ahem, Satania."
Lin coughed lightly to call her.
"Ah..."
Satania's laughter stopped abruptly.
Gabriel: "What are you laughing at?"
Hearing her question, Satania hmphed with a smile:
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."
Her gaze toward Gabriel was full of smugness and joy.
"Fine..."
Gabriel rolled her eyes slightly and looked away.
As expected, Mom was right.
Don't play with idiots, or you'll get infected.
Gabriel looked at Lin to change the topic:
"Lin, continue."
Vignette glanced at Satania, whose face was full of smug smile.
She then looked back at Lin.
Lin withdrew his gaze from Satania and smiled:
"For now, just think of me as an esper. As for my other identities, you'll know when the time comes."
"Esper..."
Vignette and Gabriel pondered upon hearing this, somewhat understanding.
Gabriel directly took out her phone.
She searched for 'esper' keyword, and realization dawned in her eyes...
She even showed it to Vignette.
After reading the encyclopedia explanation of esper, Vignette understood too.
However, thinking of Lin's latter half, curiosity arose in Vignette and Gabriel's hearts.
What other identities did Lin have?
Obviously, Lin wouldn't say now, so they could only suppress their curiosity.
Gabriel asked at this time:
"By the way, Lin, are you a student at Maoten High School too?"
Lin: "I'm at Private United High School. You should know it, right?"
"Private United High School... We know."
Gabriel and Vignette's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and they nodded.
After all, Private United High School was renowned.
Few students in Tokyo didn't know it.
They had briefly learned about it when they first arrived.
Time passed quietly like water.
As the four chatted, their relationships unknowingly grew closer.
Lin's way of addressing Vignette and Gabriel also changed.
He directly called them by name.
Vignette and Gabriel's addressing of him became more casual too.
Likewise calling him by name.
Gabriel had been quite casual from the start.
Two hours passed in a flash.
After shopping together, buying things, and eating lunch, Lin parted ways with Satania, Vignette, and Gabriel on the road.
Everyone headed home.
Lin went to the station alone.
With a thought, he opened the Codex of All Things.
Vignette and Gabriel's entries lit up one after another.
Looking at their entries, a strange light appeared in Lin's eyes.
Nickname: Tsukinosē Vignette April
Level: Purple
Description: Demon of Divine Holy Light
Acquired: Heaven Strike
...
Nickname: Pure Gabriel White
Level: Purple
Description: Fallen? Angel
Acquired: Sword of the Oath of Victory
...
"Both purple..."
Looking at Vignette and Gabriel's entry levels, Lin couldn't help but think of Satania, who was only blue.
Not the same level.
If he remembered correctly, Satania's prototype seemed to be a powerful figure from some mythological system.
Of course, prototype was prototype.
In Gabriel DropOut, Satania indeed lacked some uniqueness compared to Vignette and the others.
Take Vignette, for example.
Though her race was demon, the holy light she possessed had reached divine level, quite special.
If she were an angel.
She would be even more outstanding than Gabriel.
