"Since we've come this far, let's see the lives of the Saekano heroines after the story ended. Starting with the defeated blonde dog, Sawamura Spencer Eriri."
A small smile appeared on his face. To satisfy his curiosity, Ren without hesitation peered into the life experiences of others through the Book of Knowledge Divine Authority.
*SHUA!*
The blank page in the book vibrated, then new words appeared, narrating the life of Sawamura Spencer Eriri.
Unlike Utaha's tragic fate, Eriri's life turned out not too bad. Although the Rouge en rouge circle went bankrupt, it didn't have a major impact on her.
Her family was quite wealthy—her father was a British diplomat—and Eriri herself was successful as a hentai doujinshi mangaka. Her work was quite popular among otaku, giving her a stable income. However, after leaving her beloved childhood friend, Tomoya Aki, to pursue her career—similar to Utaha—Eriri lost the chance to become Tomoya's girlfriend.
After graduating from college, Eriri remained a doujinshi mangaka. Financially, she was much better off than many corporate workers like Fuutarou. The only drawback in her life was that she was still single to this day.
Her parents had arranged blind dates for her countless times, introducing her to good men, but her troublesome tsundere personality always became an obstacle. The men backed off after a brief interaction with her—apparently, not many men could tolerate tsundere traits in the real world.
"Pfffttt... Ha ha ha... This is so funny... Ha ha ha..."
Ren couldn't help but laugh as he read that Eriri had gone on dozens of blind dates, and they all failed because of her tsundere nature. He laughed so hard that he almost ran out of breath.
"Tsk tsk tsk... All tsunderes are the same." He said, shaking his head, still smirking.
"They could have won by just going all in, but instead, they stubbornly acted the opposite. Pushing happiness further away with their own hands. Would saying 'I like you' kill them or something?"
Ren had no sympathy for tsundere people like this.
"Only daring to hide their love, hoping that others will magically realize it—how could such people find happiness? The man you like isn't a mind reader. How would he know you like him? This is why I don't like tsundere women. When they see the man they like getting close to other women, they get jealous and throw tantrums. But when the man is kind to her, they pretend not to care."
"Happiness has always been a game for the brave. Cowards can only feel jealous, even though they have no right to be." He said in a mocking tone.
Unless Eriri was arranged to be married by her parents, Ren wouldn't be surprised if the girl never married. No man would be patient enough to tolerate her tsundere nature for long.
No longer caring about Eriri, Ren turned his attention to the next target.
"Now, let's see the others."
The Book of Knowledge responded to his desire, and the pages turned, displaying the life story of Hyodo Michiru.
"Compared to Utaha's messy life and Eriri's lonely single life, Michiru's life is quite good. Her band, Ice Tail, disbanded because it showed no progress. Eventually, Michiru became the second wife of a man named Miyanagi Yusuke."
"Hm? Miyanagi? Could it be Onodera Kosaki's husband from the Nisekoi series?" His brow rose in curiosity.
Ren read further, and the speculation proved correct. Yusuke's first wife was indeed named Onodera Kosaki, who now went by the name Miyanagi Kosaki.
"Oh, interesting. Miyanagi Yusuke has four wives. First wife Onodera Kosaki, second wife Hyodo Michiru, third wife Aragaki Ayase, and fourth wife Charlotte Hazelrink... Wow, this guy is many times better than the original Nisekoi protagonist, Ichijou Raku."
Ren raised an eyebrow, realizing that all of Yusuke's wives were the "lose" heroines from their respective series—Saekano, Oreimo, and Princess Lover. They were the women who were not chosen by the main protagonists in the original stories.
"Kato Megumi and Tomoya Aki are getting married soon? Given Megumi's jealous nature, I'm sure Tomoya can't be polygamous like Yusuke." Ren chuckled.
The Book of Knowledge in his hand disappeared. He felt satisfied having peeked into the lives of others, which turned out to be more entertaining than he had expected.
*DING!*
A message notification on his phone jolted him from his reverie.
Lazily, Ren reached for his phone. The screen flashed, displaying an incoming message. The name displayed made him snort.
"Let me guess, he wants to show off his new woman again, right?" He muttered as he saw the sender's name, Fujii Natsuo, a fellow scumbag.
It had become a habit for the two of them to send him photos of their latest "achievements", Ren and Natsuo had long been involved in this twisted competition.
Reluctantly, Ren opened the message. As he expected, a photo of a naked girl was displayed, showing off her smooth white skin, with breasts resembling two peaches.
Her skin was as white as flawless porcelain, with cheeks that had a slight natural blush. Her nose was small and high, perfectly complementing her full and softly pink lips. Her eyes sparkled like black pearls, with long eyelashes. Her long, straight hair flowed like jet-black silk.
However, something else caught Ren's attention. The girl's body was covered in red scratch marks, finger marks, and even teeth marks. Her stomach also showed signs of rough caresses from large hands. The girl's lower body was naked, with her legs raised in a missionary position. Natsuo's hand was also visible in the camera, pressing the curve of one of the girl's beautiful legs and moving it upwards, revealing four used condoms lying in her groin with thick black hair like her head hair.
"I don't recognize this woman. Natsuo's speed in getting new women is no less than Ito Makoto's. Both of them make women fall for them as if they're catching Pokémon."
He immediately typed a reply.
Ren: [Who is she?]
It didn't take long for his phone to vibrate again. Natsuo replied to his message.
Natsuo: [She's a first-year student, Asano Reira. A good friend of my woman, Jinguji Rumi. How is it, Ren? I'm amazing, right? In just a short time, I conquered another woman]
"Hmph."
Ren snorted as he read the message.
Ren: [Not bad. You have talent in this aspect]
Ren's short and unenthusiastic reply seemed to bother Natsuo.
Natsuo: [Your tone is as if you're superior to me, Ren. Don't forget, I have five women, while you only have three! You're outnumbered!]
"This fuckboy really wants to beat me, huh..."
Ren rolled his eyes. Natsuo always insisted that quantity was more important than quality. Since the beginning, that had been the main difference in their philosophies as scumbags.
Ren: [Hmph! Too bad, I chose quality over quantity. Natsuo, you know I suffer from mild misophobia. I only fuck virgin women]
"And I don't need to leave animal-like scars." Ren added in his heart, but he decided not to type it.
Natsuo: [Hina-sensei, Rui, Rumi, Naori, and Reira. I was the first man to take their virginity. So, don't make it seem like I choose random women. Ren, just admit it, you're inferior to me!]
Reading the message, the corner of Ren's eye twitched. Although his face remained calm, there was a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
Ren: [Think what you want, I don't care]
But Ren's short reply only made Natsuo even more excited. Next, Ren's phone kept vibrating with incoming messages.
Natsuo: [Oh, you don't care? Then take a look at this!]
*DING!* *DING!* *DING!* *DING!*
Natsuo sent photos of his sexual encounters with his women.
The first photo showed Tachibana Hina, their English teacher who was now seven months pregnant, in a naked state. Her bulging belly was written on with a black marker, "Natsuo's baby." Her expression was a mixture of shyness and happiness as she caressed her rounded stomach, her eyes looking directly at the camera with a flash of obedience like a devout follower looking at their god.
Ren: [Why are you sending me this photo? Do you think I'm interested in seeing Tachibana-sensei in that state? Don't forget, I also have Itsuki-sensei who is pregnant with my child and will give birth next month]
Natsuo: [This is just a return favor for the Nakano-sensei photo you sent last time. Please look at the next photo]
The second photo showed Rui, Hina's younger sister and Natsuo's stepsister, wearing clothes more embarrassing than being naked—a skimpy maid uniform that barely covered anything, with parts deliberately cut out to reveal her intimate areas. In her trembling hand, she showed a pregnancy test kit with two clear lines. Her eyes were teary, but Ren could see a strange mixture of unease and happiness in them.
Ren: [Rui is also pregnant? Seriously? Your personality is even more rotten than mine, Natsuo. You impregnated your stepsister, Tachibana Rui and Tachibana Hina, who are biological sisters]
Natsuo: [That's precisely the best part! They both know about each other, and it makes them even wilder. Rui is even more aggressive than her sister. And now they're both carrying my children. But that's not all, take a look at this!]
The third photo showed the Jinguuji twin sisters giving Natsuo what they called "shimaidon"—Rumi lying underneath while Naori lay on top of her, their bodies pressed together. Their identical faces showed different expressions of pleasure as Natsuo positioned himself behind them. The twin girls' hands were intertwined, their brown hair mixed on the white sheets.
Ren: [If their childhood friend knows you did this, I'm worried he'll kill you]
Natsuo: [That can't beat me, okay? It's that guy's own fault for being dense and not realizing Rumi and Naori's feelings for him. I approached Rumi first, then after she fell in love with me, I made her introduce me to her sister. The rest? Let's just say that twin sister bonds aren't always stronger than the charm of a true man. They both belong to me completely now. But there's still one more...]
The fourth and final photo showed Asano Reika, completely naked, kneeling on the floor, bowing so low that her forehead touched the floor while kissing Natsuo's feet. Her long hair flowed around her like spilled ink, and signs of ownership were visible all over her back—scratch marks, bruises, and what looked like marker writing declaring her as "Natsuo's."
Natsuo: [Anyway, I'm superior to you in this regard. Five to three!]
Ren: [If counting numbers makes you feel better, go ahead. I don't mind.]
With that, Ren turned off his phone and placed it on the bedside table.
"It seems I need to increase the number of women in my harem so that Natsuo won't mock me anymore."
Ren decided that after he returned to Japan, he would make women fall for him regardless of the methods used, even if they were despicable and immoral.
