Chapter 513 Gabriel's Sudden Sacrifice

"Qin Chuan—!!!"

When Qin Chuan got home, the first thing he saw was Gabriel rushing out in a maid outfit.

She called his name and suddenly threw herself into his arms, clutching his clothes tightly. Then she looked up at him with eyes full of grief and indignation.

"Vinette refuses to lift my restrictions!!!"

Just as Qin Chuan had expected, after Gabriel redeemed the Doomsday Horn, she excitedly went to the school to explain the situation to Vinette.

Just when Gabriel thought Vignette would lift the restrictions on her schedule, Vignette only loosened the restrictions a little, allowing Gabriel to play games until 2 a.m.

While playing games until 2 a.m. is already a very bad sleep schedule for Vinette, for Gabriel, staying up until 2 a.m. is obviously not enough to satisfy her.

So now she's come to Qin Chuan to complain—after all, Winette's Stand ability was given to her by Qin Chuan, so of course she can only come to Qin Chuan to solve the problem.

“Vinette is right, your sleep schedule is indeed quite problematic.”

Qin Chuan smiled and patted Gabriel's head—Gabriel had been keeping a regular schedule lately, and even her hair had become much smoother.

This feeling is somewhat like a cat that was unhealthy, but after a period of recuperation, its fur became soft and smooth, and it felt better to touch.

"But I have so little time to play online games these days! I spend almost all my time just completing daily and weekly tasks every day!"

Gabrielle clung tightly to Qin Chuan's clothes, her expression resolute, as if to say, "I won't let you go unless you help me."

"You wouldn't want to lose a regular teammate in the future, would you?!"

Indeed, Gabriel now spends most of her time completing daily and weekly tasks, leaving her with much less time for dungeons.

Sometimes, after dinner, Qin Chuan would have to take a shower before Gabriel could finish her daily tasks and then they could go into a dungeon together.

Even her other teammates were wondering why Gabriel had suddenly become less addicted to online games—no one knew it was because of Vinette's power-up ability.

"Hmm... to be honest, there is a way I can help you."

Qin Chuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment—actually, he could help Gabriel solve this problem.

Because Qin Chuan also obtained Vignette's Stand ability, he could adjust the "balance" that Vignette imposed on Gabriel, or even directly remove the restrictions.

Of course, if the restrictions were lifted directly, Winette would definitely notice.

"Then help me solve it!"

Gabriel was desperate and grasping at straws—after all, for a useless angel who had been addicted to online games for a long time, being forced to leave online games was worse than killing her.

She had been able to tolerate it before because she thought that once she redeemed the Doomsday Horn, Winette would let her go.

But now it seems that Vignette is determined to correct her sleep schedule, so Gabriel finally couldn't stand it anymore.

She seemed to have made a connection to something, and suddenly said to Qin Chuan:

"Or I could do the same job as Thor, as long as you remove this restriction for me!"

"...The same job as Thor?"

Upon hearing Gabriel's words, Qin Chuan didn't immediately understand what she was talking about—after all, Thor was just a maid in Qin Chuan's household, and her daily work wasn't much different from that of other maids.

However, Qin Chuan soon realized what Gabriel was talking about when he saw her face turn slightly red.

If there's anything that makes Thor's job different from the other maids', it's probably what she does every night.

Although Thor usually does these things in bed, sometimes she gets a sudden urge and chooses to have a fight with Qin Chuan in the bathroom or something like that.

Gabriel probably saw it during these sudden rises in popularity, right?

His lips twitched, and he looked speechlessly at Gabriel, who seemed to have suddenly become somewhat timid.

"You're really exaggerating. You'd go to this lengths just to play online games?"

"I wouldn't go to such lengths for just anyone! I only agreed to do this because of you!"

Hearing Qin Chuan's complaint, Gabriel glared at him, annoyed. She was a top student in the Celestial Realm; although she had been corrupted by online games in the mortal world, she still maintained some basic principles.

The reason she dared to use such a thing as a bargaining chip was because the other party was Qin Chuan. ③

Even if it weren't for this, if Qin Chuan really wanted to do that to her, she felt she should half-heartedly comply. Furthermore...

This time, however, she was pushed a bit too far by Vinette, so she simply used this as an excuse to hand herself over to Qin Chuan as well. 4.

"Since you've put it that way... then I won't stand on ceremony." 9.

Qin Chuan looked at Gabriel and smiled slightly—he knew, of course, that Gabriel was only saying those words because of him, and he only said them to see her reaction.

If it were the Qin Chuan of the past, he might have hesitated a little, but the Qin Chuan of today is no longer the relatively innocent person he once was. 3.

If Gabriel doesn't mind, then of course he won't pretend to be reserved.

……Four

Two hours later, at the dinner table, Gabriel ate her meal with a stiff expression.

The reason for his stiff expression was, of course, because during dinner, everyone at the table was staring at him with rather subtle glances.

Clearly, the noise she and Qin Chuan made while engaging in vigorous activity in the room was quite loud, and all the other women in the house could hear it clearly.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Gabriel blushed deeply, looking as if she wanted to disappear into the ground.

There's no way around it. It's like a boxing novice facing a seasoned champion in their first match. Naturally, they'll be utterly defeated, and no amount of noise can be concealed.

Qin Chuan behaved as usual—although the others at the table were staring at Gabriel with strange looks, Qin Chuan knew very well that they were already used to it.

The way to eliminate their resentment is very simple... Qin Chuan just needs to put in some effort tonight.

"Ah Chuan really doesn't want to let any of them go."

Thor, who was standing nearby, served Qin Chuan a new bowl of rice. As he placed the rice in front of Qin Chuan, he couldn't help but complain.

However, Thor's reaction this time was calmer than before—partly because Thor had gradually gotten used to Qin Chuan making advances on new girls from time to time, so he had become numb to it.

On the other hand, it was also because, as the head maid, she had long noticed that Gabriel, this "part-time maid," and Qin Chuan had an unusual relationship.

So she had been mentally prepared for this scene.

Chapter 514 Yukino Yukinoshita's Talisman

"Then I'll head back!"

After dinner, Gabriel returned to her usual self, waved to the people standing at the door, and prepared to go back.

"Are you sure it's okay? After all, it's the first time, and A-Chuan's strength is indeed a bit..."

Although Gabriel seemed to be fine, Irisviel was still a little worried about her.

After all, Irisviel knew very well how exaggerated Qin Chuan's strength was, and Gabriel looked so small, even looking a bit like a middle school student at first glance.

Therefore, Irisviel was worried that Gabriel's physical condition was normal at this time. She even suspected that Gabriel, who seemed to be fine, might have suffered some internal injury.

"That girl is no ordinary person, so there's no need to worry too much about her."

Qin Chuan, standing to the side, revealed a helpless smile—he knew very well that Gabriel was an angel, and as an angel, she naturally possessed extraordinary abilities.

Not only is her physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people, but she can even use some divine abilities—such as teleportation magic, which Gabriel used in the original work.

However, although Qin Chuan wasn't worried about Gabriel's health, there was one other thing he still wanted to remind her of:

“Gabriel, although I’ve lifted the ‘restriction’ for you, you still need to be careful. Otherwise, if Winette sees your mental state, she’ll be able to guess what’s going on.”

After a deep conversation with Gabriel, Qin Chuan used Winette's scales substitute to remove the "restrictions" imposed on her.

In other words, Gabriel can now play games all night without worrying about losing her game equipment due to disrupted sleep patterns.

Based on Qin Chuan's understanding of Gabriel, Gabriel will definitely have a lot of fun tonight, and probably won't go to sleep until the early hours of tomorrow morning.

However, tomorrow is Saturday, so Gabriel won't be caught by Vigne for staying up late tonight—but Vigne will notice Gabriel's mental state after staying up late on school days.

When Vigne takes a closer look, she will find that the "restriction" she placed on Gabriel has been lifted.

Afterwards, not only might Winette come looking for him, but Gabriel might also come looking for him to lift the "restriction" because she has been "restricted" again.

Qin Chuan isn't some kind of lock-picking machine; he can't just spend all his time removing Gabriel's Stand abilities. So he still hopes Gabriel can restrain herself a little.

At the very least, we mustn't let Winette find out.

"I know, don't worry, I'll be careful."

Gabrielle simply waved her hand dismissively at Qin Chuan's warning and went back happily.

Not only did Gabriel lift the "restrictions" she had placed on her, but she also made further progress with Qin Chuan. Gabriel was in a very good mood at the moment, and she couldn't even listen to Qin Chuan's instructions.

However, this carefree attitude is precisely Gabriel's personality.

……

"That should be fine..."

At night, in Yukino's apartment, she carefully placed the black feather that Qin Chuan had given her into a talisman.

Because the feathers are larger than those of ordinary small birds, the amulet that Yukino Yukinoshita bought was also larger, and she had to visit several shrines to find a suitable one.

She hung the amulet around her neck—so that she could always keep the feather Qin Chuan had given her close to her body.

However, after making all the preparations, Yukino Yukinoshita felt that this behavior was a little strange... It felt a bit like a girlfriend carrying her boyfriend's things with her.

Yukino Yukinoshita has no romantic experience and was not interested in such things before. Qin Chuan is the only man who makes her think about this kind of thing.

It was probably because Qin Chuan's demeanor at the kendo dojo had left a deep impression on her, and now Qin Chuan's identity had become extraordinary.

With these two factors combined, it became difficult for Yukino Yukinoshita to ignore Qin Chuan.

"...Never mind, no one else knows that this contains Qin Chuan's things."

Although she hesitated for a while, once the amulet was ready, Yukino Yukinoshita put it around her neck.

After all, the contents of this are confidential, and she can't tell anyone else, so she doesn't need to worry about being misunderstood as having any relationship with Qin Chuan.

However, just after she put the amulet on her body, her phone suddenly rang.

Although she knew that she had just spoken with Qin Chuan after school today, and that the person calling now was definitely not Qin Chuan, Yukino Yukinoshita's heart still skipped a beat.

She looked at the name (bgei) displayed on her phone screen, and then her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was relieved—as expected, the caller was not Qin Chuan, but a guy she felt somewhat resistant to.

——Yukinoshita Haruno.

Although she is her older sister, she is the superior version of her in terms of social skills, personality, and interpersonal interactions, and even her figure is the same.

Moreover, it was precisely because of Yukinoshita Haruno's excellence that she took care of all the household affairs, making Yukinoshita Yukino's position in the family quite awkward.

Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita has always been quite resistant to her older sister, and even when Haruno Yukinoshita occasionally contacts her, she is too lazy to respond.

In the past, she probably wouldn't have bothered to respond to Yukino's attempts to contact her.

But today is different. She already knows about Qin Chuan's situation and that Qin Chuan had previously been in contact with Yukinoshita.

When Yukino Yukinoshita asked Qin Chuan questions today, she mainly asked about Qin Chuan's "superpowers," and she did forget to ask Qin Chuan about Yukino Yukinoshita.

So after hesitating for a moment, Yukino Yukinoshita picked up her phone and answered the call after a long time:

"Hey?"

"Oh...? Yukino, you've finally agreed to answer the phone."

Yukino's slightly amused voice came from the other side of the phone, exactly the same voice Yukino had heard before.

Yukino Yukinoshita is very good at hiding her emotions, so Yukino Yukinoshita never knows what she is really feeling, as if she has never been sad.

"What do you want from me?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was cold, completely different from her tone when she was talking to Qin Chuan.

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong... Never mind, there really is something."

Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to want to tease her younger sister, but when she heard that Yukinoshita Yukino's mood seemed a bit cold, she gave up on that idea.

"There's another banquet at home in a few days... Do you want to come along?"

The banquet that the Yukinoshita family attended was certainly not of the standard that the Shinomiya family hosted—that was already at the top level in the entire country of Japan.

Even if it doesn't reach that level, the banquets that the Yukinoshita family attends are at least the kind that have a lot of influence in the local area. If Yukinoshita Yukino could go, she could broaden her horizons.

But Yukino Yukinoshita knew very well that it would be meaningless for her to go, because all the affairs of the Yukinoshita family would eventually be taken over by Haruno Yukinoshita, and she would just be sitting there as a decorative vase.

Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita had never attended such banquets before.

However, for reasons unknown, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly blurted out a question:

Will Qin Chuan go?
