At the entrance of the bookstore.
One is a true angel, but at the moment, her words and actions clearly do not resemble those of an angel.
The other is not a true angel, yet her words and actions at this moment seem much more angelic.
The two of them, one tall and one short, both belong to the level of golden-haired beautiful girls, capable of attracting the attention of many passersby just by standing anywhere.
After a moment.
Gabriel's lazy and listless voice finally broke the subtle awkwardness.
“Ah... could you please move aside?”
Her gaze swept past the little angel, Miharu, and turned to the bookshelf next to her.
If she hadn't miscalculated, that should be the fifth bookshelf from the end. Once she finishes organizing this shelf, Gabriel would finally be able to take a good rest!
As for Gabriel's feelings towards the little angel Miharu, she could only say...
This girl, after death, would definitely be able to reincarnate as an angel in heaven!
...
“Sorry.”
The little angel Miharu immediately stepped aside to let Gabriel pass.
However, her gaze, filled with curiosity, lingered on Gabriel's back, watching her somewhat entranced.
...
“What are you looking at, little Miharu?”
Seeing the amusing little scene come to an end, An Wu also got up from his exclusive manager's sofa.
He slowly approached the little angel Miharu and noticed her in a daze, prompting him to ask.
After all, little Miharu never gets lost in thought like this.
Of course, except for the occasional times when An Wu teases her and she doesn't react.
...
“Nothing~”
The little Miharu shook her head, her flaxen hair swaying slightly, carrying a faint fragrance.
“I just felt like that girl seemed to be glowing all over, which was quite magical?”
“But now it’s gone, maybe it was just my illusion?”
The little Miharu doubted whether she had seen it wrong; after all, how could a normal girl possibly glow?
That was clearly impossible!
...
“Ah?”
An Wu was taken aback.
He looked at little Miharu and found it somewhat normal.
It seemed that in the setting of an angel like Gabriel, there was indeed a trait of having a pure and kind heart, allowing her to sense something in the air.
And this seemed quite reasonable for little Miharu as well.
“Then maybe you saw it wrong.”
“Let’s go, I’m already looking forward to what dinner will be today!”
“Of course, as usual, I’ll prepare the ingredients!”
An Wu didn’t elaborate on Gabriel’s matter; after all, discussing it now wouldn’t be of any use.
As for the ingredients, that was one of the small privileges he had forcefully negotiated with little Miharu.
With the little angel Miharu, who radiated maternal brilliance, taking care of all three meals, if An Wu didn’t take on something...
That would truly be quite inhumane.
...
“Saw it wrong...?”
The little Miharu shook her head, dismissing those strange thoughts from her mind.
“Don’t buy anything too expensive!”
She was really quite frugal, clearly having such a background, yet still able to smile at the world.
This was even more angelic than an angel!
...
“Definitely, definitely.”
An Wu nodded and silently added a line.
Next time for sure.
“By the way, wait a moment.”
An Wu seemed to think of something and quickly walked over to Gabriel, who was still diligently working.
“I’m leaving first. The bookstore will probably be open until around seven in the evening. During this time, you can do whatever you want, as long as the work is done.”
“And remember to lock the door.”
“As for the wages, we’ll settle them together tomorrow afternoon.”
The part-time wage An Wu offered Gabriel was quite high, and the work was very light.
An Wu could guarantee that in the entire Chiba, there was absolutely no bookstore with a boss as good to part-time employees as he was!
...
“Don’t worry~”
“Watching the store is such an easy task, no need to fuss about it...”
Gabriel, upon hearing that An Wu was leaving early and that she could be alone in this vast bookstore without supervision, felt quite pleased.
Although there was still work to do, what was the difference from being at home?
It was just that she hadn’t brought her computer, which was a minor flaw.
But this was already quite good!
Her eyes sparkled, but she still forced herself to put on a look of dejection.
As if afraid that standing out would lead to more work.
...
“Mm.”
An Wu nodded.
He felt very reassured, having such an angel who controlled the Horn of Destruction watching over the store.
Perhaps it was more reasonable to worry about the safety of this world than to worry about the safety of his own bookstore~
“I’m off.”
An Wu waved his hand.
He returned to the side of the little angel Miharu and walked out of the bookstore with her.
Yes, it was amidst the biting gazes of a group of otaku who rushed to the bookstore right after school to look at figures and buy light novels.
They walked out of the bookstore together.
The second explanation was clearly more enjoyable than the first, so he chose the second one~
After all.
Even in the two-dimensional world of mixed genres, there were still otaku hiding in dark corners reading books.
Imagining that on the first day of school, they would encounter a classmate named Ellie who occasionally teased them in Russian.
But the reality was that they would often meet someone who occasionally scolded them in Japanese~
...
“An Wu, don’t space out, watch the road!”
The little angel Miharu beside him seemed to have noticed An Wu’s dazed state, reminding him while silently tugging at the hem of his short sleeve.
...
“Ahem.”
An Wu cleared his mind of those strange images and immediately noticed the little angel’s actions beside him.
However, he didn’t say anything.
After all, he quite enjoyed this feeling.
The gentle breeze blew, the sun slowly set, students occasionally passed by, and there was someone accompanying him.
This might be the benefit of daily life?

Next.
An Wu and the little angel Miharu quickly finished buying the ingredients for the next two days.
Yes.
An Wu emerged with a bunch of extremely expensive ingredients under the somewhat resentful gaze of the little angel.
But as long as he was happy, that was all that mattered~
Moreover.
Before heading upstairs to their rented room on the second floor, An Wu and the little angel Miharu encountered a capable girl with long dark hair and wine-red eyes, wearing a distinctly black choker, at the stairs.
An Wu found her very familiar.
Until he saw the girl dragging a struggling, clawing figure from outside, who seemed a bit smaller but had light purple short hair, wearing an exaggerated eye mask and colored contacts, dressed in gothic attire.
He probably figured out who these two were.
Takaishi Tsubaki and Takaishi Rikka, the two sisters.
From "Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!" the main and supporting female characters.
He hadn’t expected them to live in the same building.
“If I get the chance, I might be able to interact with them and gain some luck rewards~”
Retracting his gaze.
An Wu caught up with the little angel Miharu who was waiting for him and returned to their rented room together.
...
“An Wu, you should rest for a bit.”
“Opening the store today must be tiring; dinner will probably take about half an hour~”
The simple little angel seemed to genuinely think that An Wu, the laid-back store manager, found opening the store very tiring.
However, An Wu didn’t plan to explain this small issue, just thickening his skin and silently slumping onto his internally valuable but outwardly ordinary sofa~
He casually opened "The Multiverse Girls' Mutual Aid Association."
But was somewhat surprised to find.
“Newcomers have arrived?”
...
In "The Multiverse Girls' Mutual Aid Association," two official welcome messages were prominently flashing.
【Welcome 【The Younger Sister Who Doesn’t Want to Be an Older Sister】 to the Multiverse Girls' Mutual Aid Association】
【Welcome 【Crimson Lion】 to the Multiverse Girls' Mutual Aid Association】
