NOVEL NEXT Chapter 338: One-Eyed King
Yukino still shyly averted her eyes when meeting Ren's gaze. She couldn't imagine the madness of last night, but she clearly knew how crazy Haruno was. She felt she might have been not much different.
In reality, Ren was the one who knew clearly. Not just Yukino and Haruno, but Eriri, Nezuko, and the others were all like this. Who could withstand the full power of his perfect control?
Presumably, everyone else was probably still sleeping in. Only Eriri and Yukino needed to get up for school.
"Ren, can you hold me? My legs are soft," Eriri looked at him with pitiful, teary eyes.
Ren couldn't help but recall her struggle as she performed a one-legged standing split for him. He simply picked her up in a princess carry as a small comfort.
"Hehe…" Eriri giggled happily.
Yukino saw this and felt a little envious, but her legs were not sore because most of the time she had been carried by Ren.
"Shall we take the train, or teleport?" Ren asked. The train in this city was very safe; his dominance command had always been in effect: no crowding, no taking advantage, no secret filming.
"The train," Eriri immediately replied, wanting to stay in his arms a little longer.
Yukino saw through her thoughts and intelligently agreed.
Ren was just about to press the elevator button when it displayed that it was coming down from the seventh floor. A few seconds later, it stopped. The doors opened.
"Student Ren! Student Sawamura! Student Yukino!" Itsuki exclaimed softly. Her other four sisters were also with her. Most of them were surprised by Eriri being held by Ren.
"..." Eriri was very embarrassed. She stiffly twisted her head and buried her face in Ren's chest, not daring to show it again.
Ren could only helplessly say, "Good morning. Let's go to school together."
It was just a simple introduction. The awkward atmosphere lasted until they reached school and separated. Eriri was in Ren's arms the whole way.
So, upon arriving at school, the quintuplets quickly ran off. Eriri also felt humiliated and ran extremely fast. He could only enter the classroom with Yukino.
As soon as they entered, they encountered a "Yahallo" dumpling, followed by Yumiko, Megumi, and Benio, whose gazes simultaneously fell upon them. Ren knew that a tough battle was inevitable today.
During the three breaks, he used Time Stop to comfort Benio, Yumiko, and Megumi separately on the rooftop. Thus, even though the sky was cloudless, three drizzling showers fell only within the confines of the rooftop.
In the afternoon, there was Shizuka-sensei's class. He was called to the office for questioning and was only allowed to leave after confirming he was fine.
During lunch break, he went to the Student Council. Kaguya wasn't bold enough to take the initiative, so it was just a simple kiss. Chika was different; she actually asked Ren to freeze time, performing a show in front of Kaguya that she couldn't see.
During the long afternoon break, he went to the Supernatural Research Club to inform Miko and Marin that he was fine. In the alternate dimension, he played a game with Marin where the succubus was counter-charmed.
During physical education, Yui asked him to accompany her to the infirmary. Ren thoroughly examined her body and injected her with some recovery-enhancing agents.
If there was one day that was the most exhausting for Ren, it was probably today. It was even more tiring than fighting thirty Kushinas. Fortunately, he could handle it.
One day and one night, he took care of his own people's affairs, wholeheartedly pouring himself into everyone and giving them a 'girlfriend ability package'. An extra ability provides an added sense of security. He finally had time to deal with some matters at hand.
The first was finding a person online: a writer whose pen name was Takatsuki Sen. He thought of her because of Yoshimura Kuzen, the manager of Anteiku. He had a runaway daughter named Yoshimura Eto.
Takatsuki Sen, if there were no surprises, should be her—one of the One-Eyed Kings among Ghouls.
The moment Dominator was activated, Ren pinpointed her location. As he expected, she was an alienated Ghoul.
A green-haired woman wearing glasses sat by the window, seemingly bored, drinking coffee. Suddenly, it started raining heavily.
"Sigh..." the woman sighed. She had many worries, the main one being her current identity as a man-eating monster.
"Gurgle~" A sound came from her stomach; she was hungry. A red glow flashed in her right eye. Her Kakugan was flickering.
"I'm truly sorry. I've endured for so long, I've reached my limit," Yoshimura Eto murmured, speaking to the humans she might soon eat.
"Aren't you going to endure it anymore?"
"No more enduring. To survive, I can only eat humans."
"Oh, in that case, should I eliminate you?"
"Ah~ A stranger suddenly visiting. Rather than eliminating me, aren't you here to deliver food?" she spoke terrifying words, but in reality, made no movement. She just stared straight ahead with one Kakugan and one normal eye at the man who had silently appeared across from her... Ren.
