Chapter 55 - Yukino Agrees to Be a Maid?

"!!!" Ren suddenly appeared in the club room, startling Yukino, who had been waiting anxiously. Upon seeing that it was Ren, her worried heart finally settled.

"Are things handled?"

"Yes, it's done." Yukino looked as if she wanted to speak but hesitated, so Ren said with a chuckle, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

She pursed her red lips, her gaze sincere. "I want to ask if there's anything I can do for you?" She truly wanted to help in some way. This emotion was conveyed very clearly.

Ren appeared to be in deep thought. Given Yukino's current strength, there really wasn't much she could do to help him. So he joked, "How about you come to my house and be a maid from now on?"

Who knew that this casual joke would be taken seriously by the lofty beauty. Although her earlobes were red, she was seriously considering it! After a while, to Ren's extreme surprise, she replied, "Alright."

"???" Ren looked into Yukino's eyes… her expression was serious, not feigned.

Being stared at by Ren, Yukino immediately averted her gaze, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with her right hand. She pretended to be nonchalant and quietly asked a question.

"Do…do you need me to move in with you? It's not very convenient to commute back and forth for school."

Yukino is so thoughtful! She's serious. Ren wouldn't refuse such a good offer that came right to him, and he immediately agreed. "No problem, I have quite a few rooms at my place."

"Mm." Yukino responded softly, then fell silent. She suddenly felt a bit unlike herself. The words she said, the things she did, were definitely not what her former self would have done. She even decided to move without discussing it with her sister or mother. Before, she held reverence for her sister and mother, respecting and fearing them. Now, there was only respect, no fear. Everything she had experienced during this time changed her world. A change that made her a little scared, yet also expectant. All of this, it all started that day when she tried to stop Ren's 'sugar daddy' behavior.

Ren didn't disturb Yukino's racing thoughts. Accepting kindness with gratitude was far more practical than refusing it. Ren liked people like Yukino who proactively made such requests. The more, the better. However, he didn't think too much about it. There was still trouble ahead.

In the Chat Group:

Esdeath: "@Ren, come to my world and let me witness your strength."

Exusiai: "Esdeath must be a battle maniac, right?"

Nami: "You can tell at a glance, she's just too obvious."

Shinobu Kocho: "@Ren, @Tushan Honghong, how are things on your end?"

Tushan Honghong: "Sister Shinobu Kocho, Brother Ren saved me and my sister, sent us back to Tushan, and then left."

Shinobu Kocho: "That's really great."

Momonga: "So the big shot is free now. Will he accept Esdeath's challenge?"

Aqua: "Oh oh oh! Fight! Fight!"

March 7th: "This… isn't good, we're all members of the same group."

Ren: "@Aqua, don't instigate trouble, be careful of administrator privileges."

Aqua: "Administrator privileges? What privileges can control this Goddess?"

Ren: "Heh heh."

Ren sneered. He didn't want to use this privilege that had always existed, but Aqua was really too arrogant.

"Ding! Aqua has been muted for 10 minutes!"

Ren: "Go on, keep talking? I'm watching you talk."

March 7th: "Aqua was muted! Is this administrator privilege? So scary!"

Shinobu Kocho: "Is it that scary? It's just 10 minutes of not being able to speak, isn't it?"

March 7th: "You don't understand, Aqua is very idle all day, not talking will bore her to death."

Shinobu Kocho: "Uh… I… I see…"

Ren: "@Esdeath, fighting you is fine, either you come here yourself, or you give me 1000 points. I don't want to do thankless work."

Esdeath: "..."

Esdeath: "How do I quickly earn points?"

Ren: "As far as I know, your world isn't like Shinobu Kocho's and Saeko's with zombies and evil spirits. Dangerous creatures aren't enough to destroy the world. You can only find factors of Abnormal Doomsday."

Esdeath: "Tsk."

Esdeath, having received this answer, quieted down. Only then did Tushan Honghong dare to speak.

Tushan Honghong: "@Ren, Brother Ren, thank you for saving me and Rongrong, and for sending us back to Tushan. I will definitely repay you once I save enough points!"

Ren: "I'm not in urgent need of those 1000 points. Just work hard to get stronger, and don't get caught again."

Tushan Honghong: "Mm! I will work hard!"

Esdeath: "..."

Esdeath sat in her chair, silently watching the Chat Group. "He doesn't lack 1000 points, yet he's unwilling to come here? An interesting man." She licked the corner of her mouth. She stood up and walked out of the military camp. Her straight, slender legs stood in the wind and snow. She gave a loud command.

"Everyone! Prepare to return to the Imperial Capital!"
