Momonga: "@Ren, ta-da! This is currently the highest combat power in our Chat Group!"
Esdeath: "Oh? @Ren, are you strong?"
Ren: "Not strong, but defeating you shouldn't be a problem."
Esdeath: "An interesting statement, want to try?"
Ren: "You might not have understood. I can't go to your world, and you can't come to mine, unless your world or my world triggers a Doom Companion."
Esdeath: "Doomsday? Do you mean the [Abnormal Doomsday (4-star)]?"
Exusiai: "Another Abnormal Doomsday."
Nami: "Like my world, there won't be a regressor, will there?"
Esdeath: "What is a regressor?"
Nami: "It's someone who returns to the past from the future after a defeat. I experienced it, and that regressor was defeated by Ren."
Esdeath: "Interesting."
Esdeath was rapidly absorbing new knowledge and information. The other group member, "Little Fox Fairy," remained silent. Ren also didn't know who she was. After all, there were too many fox fairies. He simply stopped bothering with it. Focusing on the immediate matter was more important.

Click! The door opened. A timid little head peeked in, then shrunk back as she tiptoed inside. Eriri had thought Sayuri was already asleep. But as soon as she reached the living room, she saw Sayuri sitting on the sofa, staring at her.
"..." The two stared at each other in silence. Eriri understood... Her mother knew everything!
Ah ah ah ah!! Eriri screamed like a groundhog in her heart. Red instantly surged from her neck to the top of her head, almost steaming, as she lowered her head, not daring to look at Sayuri.
"..." After a long silence, Sayuri sighed. "Sigh, Eriri has grown up. I won't say anything. Come here, I need to ask you something."
"Oh..." Eriri shuffled little by little towards the sofa.
"..." Sayuri's eyelids twitched.
Finally reaching the sofa, Eriri carefully sat down. Glancing at Sayuri's strange gaze, she immediately lowered her head deeply again. Sayuri felt mentally exhausted. She had no intention of lecturing Eriri. She was overjoyed that Eriri and Ren were together. She vividly remembered what Ren had done when Eriri was in junior high. She had seen with her own eyes Ren's companionship towards Eriri, and Eriri's happy smiles when she was with Ren.
Moreover, Ren was so outstanding. Handsome, good physique, good personality, excellent grades, and not rigid. He had earned more money than normal couples could spend while still in junior high, and now he was also a powerful Psychic! With such an excellent boy, she even wondered if her own clumsy, tsundere daughter was worthy of him.
Seeing Eriri's shy appearance, Sayuri took her hand and gently asked, "Eriri, I have something to ask you, and you must answer me honestly."
"Mm." Eriri nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Sayuri opened her mouth and asked, "Are you and Ren... safe?" Sayuri felt that it was not suitable for them as high school sophomores. It should be two years later.
Eriri, of course, understood. But she didn't know how to answer! Because Ren didn't need to use anything! He had psychic powers! How was she supposed to tell her mom about something like this? Mom wouldn't think I'm a pervert, would she?
"Hmm? Eriri!" Eriri's hesitant look made Sayuri's tone deepen. That gaze, full of pressure, made Eriri's heart tremble.
"I... I understand... I'll tell Mom..." Then, Eriri recounted the entire process in a voice as tiny as a mosquito, even including other details.

Sayuri told Eriri to go to sleep. She returned to her room and lay on the bed. Her mind was already blank. After listening to Eriri's narration, shock! Incredible! Outrageous! Unfathomable! A clear thought emerged in Sayuri's chaotic mind.
My Eriri... has completely changed!
