In Miko Yotsuya's perspective, a terrifying Evil Spirit that Gabriel called the Large Dog was sitting on the floor in front of her Laptop.
The two Claws that could easily tear a person to shreds were now clumsily using the keyboard and mouse.
An excited expression was visibly revealed on its face—one terrifying enough to make a child stop crying—as its long tongue licked its mouth full of fangs.
Meanwhile, her mother, Touko Yotsuya, was standing with Gabriel, marveling at the moving mouse and the keys that occasionally sank down.
The screen displayed a game character currently performing Daily Quests.
Her father was also holding a phone in both hands, chatting with Kyousuke Yotsuya, who had his head craned toward the screen, while skillfully controlling a game character with his fingers.
However, Kyousuke's attention was entirely on the phone, as he could neither see nor hear the truth.
"Eh...? EH!!!"
What was going on?!
Miko Yotsuya was stunned, rubbing her eyes repeatedly, thinking she was having a hallucination.
She rubbed her eyes again and looked back at the living room.
The scene before her did not change.
"It's... it's not an illusion... Dad and that Large Dog are really playing games. They can actually use objects in reality, and there is only one person currently capable of doing such a thing..."
After confirming repeatedly that the problem wasn't with herself, Miko did some simple reasoning in her heart and then turned her gaze directly toward a certain blonde Angel in the living room.
Gabriel definitely did this!
"This Program only works for computers. Mrs. Yotsuya, you can call it Large Dog from now on."
Gabriel patiently introduced it to Touko Yotsuya: "However, its intelligence level isn't high enough, so it can only take some simple game orders."
Staring at this not-so-scientific scene, Touko Yotsuya couldn't stop herself from marveling: "It's amazing. I've really learned a lot this time. Gabriel-chan is truly incredible to be able to create such unbelievable technology!"
"None of that is worth mentioning, come look! This phone is the true heavyweight! Its intelligence level is comparable to a mature middle-aged man; it can even type and chat with you guys! Look, he's saying hello to you..."
Gabriel pulled Touko Yotsuya over to Uncle Yotsuya's side, pointing at the phone and introducing it incessantly.
Uncle Yotsuya cooperated by typing in the game's built-in chat box, greeting his wife and son.
He hadn't expected to be able to reconnect with his family in such a way.
Therefore, he cherished this opportunity immensely. Fearing he would scare his wife and child, he did not directly reveal his identity.
Since Touko Yotsuya and Kyousuke Yotsuya could not see Uncle Yotsuya, they were extremely interested in this flying phone.
After reading the content in the chat box, Kyousuke's eyes lit up:
"So many words appeared! It's really greeting us. So cool!"
Upon hearing that the intelligence level allowed for free chatting, Kyousuke started babbling non-stop as if he had found a new toy.
"Kyousuke seems very excited, but be careful not to break it for Gabriel-chan."
Touko Yotsuya gave a worried reminder while staring curiously at the chat box.
This chatting style... she felt it was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Seeing that their attention was no longer on her, Gabriel backed away silently.
She walked to Miko Yotsuya's side and whispered: "Want to go up and say hello? With me by your side, you can actually communicate with your father and that dog without any worries."
Miko's expression shifted. She quickly retracted her gaze from the front and looked down at Gabriel with a mix of shock and joy: "Is that really okay?!"
"With me backing you up, what are you afraid of? Be bold. Say the things you didn't have time to say before; don't leave any more regrets."
"...Yeah!"
With tears in the corners of her eyes, Miko Yotsuya nodded vigorously. She then crouched down and, filled with gratitude, pulled the petite Gabriel into a tight embrace.
A year ago, because her father had sneakily eaten her favorite Pudding, she had selfishly had a huge argument with him.
Since that accident occurred, she thought she would never have the chance to reconcile with her father.
Perhaps, "being able to see" wasn't entirely a curse.
Because she could see, she saw her long-departed father again.
Because she could see, she met Gabriel. The misfortune that originally plagued her was becoming better and better after Gabriel joined.
Feeling the girl's soft body and warm temperature, the corners of Gabriel's mouth curled up slightly, and she was in no rush to break free from the embrace.
Excellent, I fooled her!
After this, Miko definitely won't blame me for making her father work as a Game Power-leveler for free!
I'm so brilliant!
Later at the dining table, Gabriel took the initiative to suggest: "Mrs. Yotsuya, you've seen the intelligence level of those two Programs. Working in the simple Game Booster industry is not a problem."
"I see that things aren't easy for you usually, Mrs. Yotsuya. I feel quite embarrassed staying and eating here for free, so I'm willing to give you seventy percent of the money earned from game power-leveling. Please don't refuse."
Hearing this, the Yotsuya siblings put down their utensils and looked up at the two of them, not interrupting.
Uncle Yotsuya looked at his wife with a gentle gaze, clearly hoping she would agree.
As for Gabriel taking thirty percent of the profit, he didn't see any problem with that.
If Gabriel hadn't lent a hand, he wouldn't be able to provide even a single cent.
Touko Yotsuya froze for a moment, then quickly shook her head in refusal: "How could that be okay! Gabriel-chan is our guest, how could we take your money!"
Gabriel's background was very tragic; she was the only one left in her family, and now she was alone in a foreign country without a single relative nearby.
So she didn't want to take this money.
"I am more or less a member of the Yotsuya Residence now, so I also want to contribute a meager effort to this home."
To dispel Touko Yotsuya's concerns, Gabriel found an excuse and continued to persuade her: "This is just the minimum profit brought by these two Programs. Once they are sold, the money earned will be even more, so please don't decline anymore, Mrs. Yotsuya."
The computer, phone, internet, and the electricity required were all provided by the Yotsuya family—even the "labor" belonged to the Yotsuya family.
If Touko Yotsuya really didn't accept it, Gabriel would be too embarrassed to touch the money.
Gabriel originally wanted seventy percent for herself, but under the battering of her conscience, she changed her mind.
Who told her she was an Angel?
"This... alright then."
Touko Yotsuya thought about it. She felt the profit from a Game Power-leveler wouldn't be very large, and since Gabriel indeed didn't seem to need the money that much, she finally agreed.
All in all, everyone was very satisfied with this result.
Just as Gabriel thought she had the confidence to continue being a shut-in at the Yotsuya Residence, Miko Yotsuya brought her a piece of bad news.
"No! I don't want to go to School! School isn't fun at all, and the knowledge taught in School is useless to me, so I won't go!"
Gabriel completely tore apart the "young lady" persona she had built, lying on the floor and throwing a tantrum like a child who hadn't grown up.
The Yotsuya siblings: "..."
Are you really not planning to act anymore?
Touko Yotsuya shook her head with a smile and stepped forward to start an earnest lecture.
How could she have the heart to let Gabriel neglect her studies? In this world, academic qualifications were still very important.
