'I didn't get it either. I'm planning to try again tonight, staying up all night.'

'I believe I can definitely win!'

As soon as Gabriel sent out her message, she received another message quickly.

"Then I wish you success."

'I've given up, I'm ready to spend money on in-game purchases.'

Gabriel replied, "Didn't you say last time you were so poor you could barely afford to eat? How come you have money again?"

The other person said, "I just borrowed some money from a friend, enough to last me for a while."

The sentence was followed by a smug smiley face, suggesting that the person was not embarrassed at all about borrowing money from a friend, but rather seemed quite excited.

'Ah! I wish I had a friend like that.'

After Gabriel sent that message, she suddenly looked up at Vignette.

She stretched out her hand in front of Vignette. "Vignette, lend me some money."

Because her behavior did not meet the requirements of the angels, Gabriel's subsidies from Heaven were decreasing, and coupled with her huge spending on in-game purchases, she had long since run out of money in her bank account.

But she really went to the wrong person when she asked Vignette for money.

Like her, this person's allowance from hell has dwindled to almost zero because they don't meet the demons' behavioral requirements.

Seeing Vignette's troubled expression, Gabriel scoffed and said nothing more.

She continued to pin her hopes on the game, hoping that she might finally get that item tonight.

Vignette couldn't bear to see this situation, and she said helplessly:

"Gabriel, you spend money way too much. Try to save some."

"Never mind, I'll ask the boss this weekend if I can get some wages in advance."

"The boss at the place where I worked was very shrewd. I don't know if she would be willing to pay my wages in advance."

At this point, Vignette was a little annoyed. The proprietress was just too shrewd, calculating every single penny.

I really don't know how she and the boss got together. The boss seemed very easy to talk to and a very nice person.

Thinking of that couple, Vignette felt that there were so many things in this world she didn't understand yet, and that she needed to keep working hard.

If Yuxian could hear what Vignette was thinking, he would definitely complain.

Vignette, if you keep trying, your subsidy will really become zero.

If the subsidy could be negative, Vignette would probably never be able to pay it off in her lifetime.

Chapter 374, Section 3: Mash is very angry, and the consequences are severe.

After spending quite some time at Gabriel's house, helping her tidy up her room and take out the trash, Vignette finally prepared to go home.

As she walked downstairs, Vignette remembered Yuxian and his party who had just moved in today.

She thought for a moment, then went up and rang the doorbell.

Who is it?

Mash came out and opened the door. She wondered who it was. After all, they had just arrived in this world and didn't know anyone here. It was a bit of a surprise that someone had come to visit.

Upon opening the door and seeing Vignette standing outside, Mash looked surprised, but her expression quickly turned to joy.

"Please come in and have a seat. You live upstairs from us."

She had a good impression of Vignette and originally wanted to pay her a visit, but Vignette took the initiative to come first.

Mash's enthusiasm put Vignette at ease; this was a family that was easy to get along with.

"No, I just came to say hello, actually..."

Before Vignette could finish speaking, Mash pulled her aside, "Don't be shy, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? We just made dinner, let's eat together."

As Mash pulled her into the house, Vignette didn't know how to refuse. She knew Mash had misunderstood her and thought she was a resident upstairs.

"It's the older sister from earlier."

When the children saw Vignette, they asked her with great interest, "Does your sister live upstairs?"

Vignette then had a chance to introduce herself, "My name is Tsukino Se Vignette April, you can call me Vignette."

"Also, I don't live upstairs. My friend Gabriel lives upstairs, and I just went to her house."

Upon hearing that Vignette had friends, Mash quickly said, "Then let's go and invite her to dinner too."

Vignette shook her head, looking embarrassed, and said, "No, thank you. She's a little shy."

Yuxian couldn't help but roll her eyes. Gabriel wasn't shy at all; she was just too busy playing games on the computer to leave.

However, he was quite surprised that the place they rented this time was in the same building as the abandoned angel Gabriel.

"Mash, never mind. Let Vignette take some up to her friend later."

Yuxian Mash pulling at the embarrassed Vignette to go up and call Gabriel spoke up to help her out.

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

Mash felt this wasn't proper hospitality, but Vignette immediately said, "You've already gone to so much trouble."

Since even Vignette said so, Mash stopped insisting.

"The food is here! Little Tamamo worked very hard to cook it herself, so try it and don't say it's not good."

Dinner was cooked by Tamamo no Mae, who, for the first time ever, took the initiative to cook.

Everyone gathered around and began to eat.

Tamamo no Mae asked with expectant eyes, "Is it delicious?"

Yuxian didn't want to talk. He wasn't allowed to say it wasn't good, so what was there to ask? Besides "not good," the only other answer was "good."

However, Tamamo no Mae skills are indeed excellent; you can tell just by looking at how the children eat.

"It's so delicious!" Vignette said honestly.

She was amazed by Tamamo no Mae's culinary skills and showed an expression of admiration.

Tamamo no Mae very happy. She was pleased to receive recognition and nodded to Vignette with a smile. She liked honest children.

After dinner, Vignette carried the food she had reserved for Gabriel upstairs.

Gabriel was still working herself to the bone, without a shred of doubt about Vignette's return.

"This is the food from your downstairs neighbor. After you finish eating, take the bowls and chopsticks down and return them to them."

"Oh."

Gabriel responded without looking up; she was at a crucial moment and had no time to think about anything else.

Vignette shook her head, went out and left. It was getting late. She was very punctual and needed to review her lessons when she got back.

When Gabriel finally felt tired and stood up, she saw the cold food on the table and still couldn't figure out where it came from.

Gabriel blinked and muttered, "When did Vignette put this here?"

She had no recollection of what Vignette had just said to her; her mind was completely focused on the game, and she had only subconsciously responded to Vignette. Now, she couldn't possibly remember what she had said.

"Fine, I'll eat something and keep working out. I have to succeed today!"

Gabriel didn't mind the cold food at all. She quickly ate a couple of bites and continued to bury herself in the game.

As for Yuxian the bowls and chopsticks to Yu Xian, she had absolutely no idea.

Downstairs, Yuxian others were resting in the living room.

"Senior, is the neighbor upstairs alright?"

Mash, always worried about others, frowned and said, "Could there be some unspeakable reason? Should we ask Vignette? Maybe she can help."

Yuxian smiled.

"Don't worry, she's perfectly fine."

"Gabriel is the chief angel of the angel school, there's no way something could happen to her."

Yuxian Mash seemed a little confused, Yu Xian briefly explained what he knew.

"Does this script seem familiar?"

After Yuxian finished speaking, he smiled and asked Mash.

Mash nodded seriously and said solemnly, "Games are definitely not a good thing. You can't get addicted to games, Senpai."

Yuxian thought to himself: I was just as good as Gabriel back then, no less salty than her, and I was also a famous hard worker.

Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud, lest he attract Mash's attention and become her primary target for prevention.

Before he could even figure out how to deal with Mash, someone else took over the firepower for him.

"No gaming allowed!"

The children had just taken out their game consoles to kill some time together, since it was still early before bedtime.

Mash wouldn't normally be so strict, but after hearing Yuxian's story about Gabriel, she suddenly viewed games as a monstrous threat.

"Don't want!"

The children were no pushovers either; they immediately retorted to Mash.

"We just heard it, even angels play games all day and don't go to school, so of course we can play games too."

The children's words only fueled Mash's anger.

She couldn't tolerate someone who only learned bad things instead of good ones.

"You just wait!"

Mash glared at them fiercely and stormed back to her room.

The children looked at each other.

"Is Mash angry?"

Why are you angry?

"So, are we still going to play the game or not?"

The children stood there somewhat bewildered, unsure whether to play or not.

Yuxian smile and said to the children, "Play for a while, then go to bed early. Don't play for too long."

He wouldn't force the children to stop playing games; appropriate entertainment is necessary, as long as they don't become addicted.

If children really played day and night like Gabriel, he would be the first to stand up and punish them.

Yuxian the children's approval, they stopped worrying and happily played.

Chapter 4, Section 375: One Must Not Give Up Halfway Through Life

After returning home, Vignette prepared to start reviewing her lessons.

She is a diligent and studious student who never misses her daily lessons and consistently achieves excellent academic results.

Just then, her phone rang; someone had sent her a message.

Who's looking for me?

Vignette has a wide social circle, but at this time only a few people will send her messages.

She picked up her phone and opened it, and was somewhat surprised to see the sender's name.

Mash.
