Yukino sat on the bathroom floor, her expression blank and dazed. The commotion outside grew increasingly exaggerated. After losing control of herself for the first ti, she couldn't stop at all!
...
Ren had long forgotten Yukino's existence. Midway, he carried the two back to his room. Besides communicating, he also used Primal Energy to strengthen their physiques. On one hand, it enhanced their combat abilities in all aspects. On the other hand, the improvent in physique would help them learn Haki and Six Styles. Afterward, he would arrange the sa for everyone else. He would also give each of them two Senzu Beans. He himself had Primal Energy, its effect was even better than Senzu Beans, so he didn't need them at all.
...
Night.
Due to Cocolia's arrival, Leone clamored to hold a welco party. Seeing that everyone else was quite interested, Ren naturally wouldn't be a spoilsport. He readily agreed.
Nezuko and Eriri were truly too exhausted. Ren directly used Primal Energy to restore them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to attend this welco party.
Tonight was truly quite lively. Everyone gathered at Ren's ho. There was homade food, and also bought food. A large table, a group of people sat around it. It looked very much like a big family's New Year's dinner gathering. There was the tsundere and lively Mine, the boisterous Leone, and the gluttonous Kuroka and Aka. With these few present, laughter at the dinner table was never lacking.
Tamayo, Kie, Sayuri, and Kanae chatted like best friends. They talked and laughed, occasionally blushing shyly. The atmosphere of the gathering was very joyful. Even Yukino, who had been dazed at first for so reason, slowly integrated into the atmosphere with a smile.
Cocolia also felt such... warmth for the first ti. She needed so ti to adapt.
Besides the revelry and drinking, Ren also made up for Kie's regret from the dayti. Although the two were sitting opposite each other at a distance, Kie's face was still flushed. Occasionally, suppressed sounds would escape her lips. Those nearby who saw it guessed it was probably because she had drunk too much alcohol.
Under the table, soone's smooth leg touched him, though he couldn't tell whose it was since everyone was wearing light sleepwear. But Ren, slightly tipsy, didn't care so much. He could certainly drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but drinking with his ability had no fun at all; it was having that slightly tipsy feeling that made drinking enjoyable. In this state, he grabbed that smooth leg and began to caress it.
"Yukino, why is your face so red?" Eriri asked, puzzled, seeing Yukino's face flushed crimson.
Yukino stamred, "I... I'm a little drunk."
"Hmm?" Eriri tilted her head in confusion. Didn't Nezuko and I drink juice? Could it be that Yukino has a constitution that gets drunk even from juice?
...
An interesting incident also occurred during the middle of the party.
"Hmm?" Ren suddenly felt the sensation of his 'gun' being enveloped change. He couldn't help but look at Kie. Kie shyly pointed to Tamayo beside her with her small hand. Tamayo subtly shifted her body.
"Hiss!" This feeling... it was indeed Tamayo. However, looking at her, it seed as if she herself had asked Kie to do this. Have to say... it was a very interesting ga. He got excited!
*****
The welco dinner didn't end until past eight in the evening.
"These guys... completely drunk." Najenda sighed. She wanted to lift Leone, Mine, and Chelsea back with Aka, Kuro, and Sheele. But Leone and Chelsea fiercely resisted for so reason. So they only managed to take Mine.
Ren put the two of them on a bed in an empty room in his house, letting them sleep there temporarily.
Kie and Tamayo were only slightly tipsy, but their bodies were excessively limp. The innocent Nezuko helped the two of them back together.
Yukino, on the other hand, cleaned up the dishes, dining table, and chairs with Kanae and Sayuri. After tidying up, Yukino, with a red face, hastily bid farewell. Sayuri and Eriri also went ho after kissing Ren goodbye. They were finally sleeping at ho after a long ti.
Kanae and Ren played on the sofa for a while. Cocolia ca after taking a bath and changing into light sleepwear. Seeing this, Kanae went to take a bath first.
Cocolia, dressed in a new modern short-skirted nightgown, sat beside Ren. Ren poured her a cup of tea and then asked, "How do you feel about this place?"
Cocolia's face showed a hint of sentintality. "Unlike Belobog, this place is full of vitality and peace; it's a desirable place. They are also full of warmth." Her gaze seed to return to the past... those desperate tis when she couldn't see a future...
Slap!
Ren's right hand gently patted Cocolia's leg, dispelling her mories. "You're already in this world, why dwell on those things? Don't you rember what Silver Wolf told you?"
"Silver Wolf..." Yes... they forgave , a sinner. "I understand." Cocolia tried hard to relax, not letting herself sink into the past.
Only Ren's warm hand, it seed, made her unable to relax. Although she was the Great Guardian, she simply had no ti to focus on emotional matters. It made her feel a little strange.
Ren also noticed this impropriety. He was just about to pull his hand away, but a slender hand stopped him. Cocolia's rosy lips moved slightly: "Will you hate a sinner?"
"No matter what mistakes you made on Jarilo-VI, in this new world, you are my person, not a sinner." Ren's answer was decisive and full of dominance.
"..."
Cocolia smiled brilliantly. "Thank you... my... Master... I am willing to offer everything for you." She slowly moved Ren's hand upwards. She began to actively lean into Ren. Ren likewise actively t her.
*****
On the sofa, their exchange overflowed with emotion. Ren picked up Cocolia and returned to the room.
After quite a while, Kanae, who had been bathing, dispelled the water from her body and walked back into the bedroom.
...
In the secondary bedroom next door, two pairs of large eyes t in the darkness. Leone and Chelsea pressed against the wall.
"They... are amazing..." Chelsea murmured.
"It's clearly Ren who's amazing." Leone pouted.
They weren't utterly drunk; they were only slightly tipsy. Their previous antics were all deliberate. Listening to the sounds from next door, both of them almost simultaneously reached downwards. They looked at each other... Yes... there was water.
As if having made so decision, two figures slipped into Ren's bedroom.
...
In the middle of the night, Yukino got up to go to the bathroom. Before returning to her room, she saw that Cocolia's room door was open. She wasn't there. Where had she gone? What was she doing? It was already self-evident. It seed that specific images ca to her mind again. She stiffly looked at her nightgown.
"What... is wrong with ...?" Her body seed to react automatically now. Gritting her teeth, she returned to her room and locked the door. Lying back on the bed, she stretched out her hand with extre unwillingness.
*****
In the morning, Ren looked at the chaotic room. He imdiately found himself between laughter and tears. Initially there were two. Then three. Finally, five. This was truly interesting.
"Ugh..." Cocolia opened her hazy eyes.
Ren lightly kissed her moist lips, stroking her soft, tender face and gently saying: "Continue to rest, you've worked hard."
"Mm..." Cocolia slowly closed her eyes. Experiencing sothing like this for the first ti, she still didn't panic. Instead, she felt an inner fulfillnt and peace of mind. Having always walked alone on a path with no future... she had been lost and helpless. Now, she had a reassuring man behind her. Sowhat imrsed in this feeling, Cocolia fell asleep again.
Ren got up to shower.
"Splash!" What he hadn't expected was, Leone followed him in right behind. "Let's continue!"
Although equally naked, it was sowhat different from just now. Her muscles were stronger, she had grown lion ears, beast eyes, and lion claws. There was a different kind of wild beauty. She used the Imperial Arm on her waist, Hundred Beasts King Transformation Lion King. In this transford state, her strength and recovery would be greatly enhanced. No wonder she dared to continue challenging him.
Ren curled his lips: "Then let's continue." Was he afraid? With his body just strengthened by Primal Energy, he hadn't even exerted himself yet!
...
Leone was utterly defeated. Even though she used her Imperial Arm, she was still defeated by Ren after his body strengthening. He didn't even use recovery, purely relying on his own strength to subdue four people. Invincible, how lonely it was.
...
Sunday dayti.
Cocolia returned to her own room. Leone and Chelsea also pretended to be groggy and just woken up from drunkenness as they went back. Kanae was sleeping, and Ren didn't stay at his own ho either. Instead, he went to Kie's place and spent a wild day with Kie and Tamayo.
...
Monday.
Ren, Yukino, and Eriri walked into school together, attracting a flurry of discussion and attention.
Inside the Supernatural Research Club, today, only he, Yukino, and Miko were there. Miko was only there because she was afraid of evil spirits, so she always ca here to seek a sense of security. She hadn't slept well yesterday, and was soundly asleep, face down on the table with dark circles under her eyes. It seed that the sense of security here was very high, and she slept exceptionally sweetly.
Ren stared at Yukino's face for a while. Yukino took a sip of black tea, put down her cup, and asked quietly and calmly: "What... are you looking at?"
"I just feel..." Ren stared intently and scrutinized her again before confirming: "I just feel like you look a bit more mature today."
Yukino's heart skipped a beat. Fearing that Ren might see sothing, she feigned calmness, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and replied in her usual cool tone: "I've never been childish."
"Hmm... maybe I saw it wrong." Ren also felt that way. So he stopped observing further. Yukino saw him withdraw his gaze. She secretly let out a heavy sigh of relief. If it were discovered that she couldn't control herself and did such a thing, she would rather die. She's going to jump! She's definitely going to jump!
*****
Ren, with free ti, began to research his own abilities. The iris of his eyes changed from gold to ice blue, a dazzling, brilliant light. A pair of eyes filled with ice-blue iridescence. The central part of his pupils presented a ring of vivid, colorful hues like a rainbow.
Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. A special ability originating from the Tsukihi and Kara no Kyoukai worlds of Type-Moon. There are two individuals who possess the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception: one is Ryougi Shiki, the other is Tohno Shiki. The ability of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception allows one to directly perceive the death of an object. Those with this ability can see dark lines, like cracks, on the surface of most objects—these are the Lines of Death. If one cuts along these lines, it will inflict unblockable, incurable damage upon the object. However, Tohno Shiki's Mystic Eyes perceive Points of Death. His Mystic Eyes of Death Perception's effect is closer to Ryougi Shiki's. Both see Lines of Death.
But their Mystic Eyes of Death Perception have limitations. Only the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception that connect to the Root of the Type-Moon world are truly powerful. One of Type-Moon's settings... Everything begins at the Root. Within the Root lies not only the beginning of everything, but also the record of everything's end. Human souls are also derived from this Root. Thus, they gain form, acquire wisdom, and exist to multiply on Earth. Because both beginning and end are derived from the Root, all humans in the Type-Moon world are connected to the Root. The Root records the end of everything; being connected to the Root naturally ans understanding the death of all things. Although the human brain has functions for receiving and transmitting, the line connecting to the Root is closed. Only by experiencing death and understanding death will this line be opened. Both Ryougi Shiki and Tohno Shiki experienced death. Thus, they could perceive and understand the death of things, seeing the death of things. They could even forcibly lead an object to its end by severing this death. This is their Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Ren's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception transcend Type-Moon. If the beginning and end of the Type-Moon world are the Type-Moon Root, then in Ren's eyes, the beginning and end of the Myriad Realms are the Myriad Realms Source. His Mystic Eyes are connected to the Myriad Realms Source.
He looked at the new room with his Mystic Eyes. The originally clean and tidy club room. Now, everywhere his vision reached, crooked, eerie lines divided everything. Complicated lines, like a child's scribbles. On the walls. On the floor. On the ceiling. The entire world seed like a shoddy patchwork, as if it could break at any mont.
Even when he looked at Yukino, the lines symbolizing death were everywhere. He understood the aning of death. He felt it in his heart; as long as he severed the lines, that beautiful 'flower of the high peaks' would enter an irreversible death. At the sa ti, he saw many special lines in the air. Those lines were very special. So of them symbolized air. So symbolized various elents. So symbolized the rules of the world. So symbolized this planet. These are all existences he can kill now!
