Chapter 55: Yukino Agrees to Be a Maid?
Ren's figure vanished into the wormhole, leaving Yukino alone in the quiet clubroom. She lightly clenched her fists, her expression filled with an unwilling frustration. Ren's pressure was even greater than she had imagined; he even had to go to other worlds to fight. And she could do nothing. She could only sincerely pray for his safe return.
In the Chat Group, his sudden departure caused a stir.
[Little Fox Fairy: ...Can you save us?]
[Momonga: Hmm? It seems this new member is in a bad situation.]
[Saeko Busujima: Can you tell us what happened?]
[Ren: You can briefly introduce yourself and the situation you are facing.]
[Tushan Honghong: My name is Tushan Honghong, from Tushan. My sister, Tushan Rongrong, and I were captured by two Daoists. They want to sell us…]
[Nami: Similar to selling slaves?]
[March 7th: How can we help her? Oh, right! I can send her a weapon!]
[Ding! The number of group members has reached 10. The Doomsday World Travel Channel is now open!]
[All members can use 1000 points to travel to another member's world after receiving permission. The time limit is 24 hours!]
[Ren: ...It seems a red packet is not needed.]
[March 7th: Gah! Free world travel! The Chat Group is amazing!]
[Shinobu Kocho: It's just that the points are a bit too expensive.]
[Ren: Let's focus on Tushan Honghong's matter. Forget it. I'm probably the only one who's relatively rich. I'll go.] He clicked on the travel function and applied for permission. [Ren: @Tushan Honghong, please approve.]
[Tushan Honghong: I… I know. Approved!]
Ren opened his eyes, and a shimmering wormhole appeared before him. "???" Yukino's beautiful eyes widened, and she stopped her massage. "What is this?"
"Hmm?" Ren turned back in surprise; time had not stopped. Does only Doom Companion stop time? Since she saw it, it didn't matter. He placed his hand on the back of hers. "A wormhole to other worlds."
"Other worlds?" she forced herself to calm down. He is going to other worlds! A feeling of worry arose, and she unconsciously grabbed his arm. "Will there be danger?"
Feeling her concern, he smiled and pinched her hand. "Don't worry. They are small problems. I'll be back soon. If someone looks for me, just make up an excuse." With that, he stepped into the wormhole, which vanished behind him.
"Ren-kun?" A knock on the door startled her. It was Yui. "Yukino-chan, is Ren-kun here?"
"He… had something to do and left," she said, her voice a little shaky.
"Oh, okay!" Yui left, and Yukino was alone again. A strange thought entered her mind. What if he doesn't come back? The thought terrified her. She shook her head, trying to banish the idea, but a deep sense of helplessness remained.
Esdeath, in the Chat Group, was impatient.
[Esdeath: @Ren, come to my world and let me witness your strength.]
[Exusiai: Esdeath must be a battle maniac.]
[Nami: You can tell at a glance.]
[Shinobu Kocho: @Tushan Honghong, how are things?]
[Tushan Honghong: Sister Shinobu, Onii-chan Ren saved us, sent us back, and then left.]
[Shinobu Kocho: That's great.]
[Momonga: So the big shot is free. Will he accept Esdeath's challenge?]
[Aqua: Oh oh oh! Fight! Fight!]
[March 7th: This… isn't good. We're all in the same group.]
[Ren: @Aqua, don't instigate trouble. Be careful of administrator privileges.]
[Aqua: What privileges can control this Goddess?]
[Ren: Heh heh.]
[Ding! Aqua has been muted for 10 minutes!]
[Ren: Go on, keep talking.]
[March 7th: Aqua was muted! So scary!]
[Ren: @Esdeath, fighting you is fine. Either you come here, or you give me 1000 points. I don't want to do thankless work.]
[Esdeath: ... How do I quickly earn points?]
[Ren: Your world doesn't have creatures like zombies. You can only find Abnormal Doomsday factors.]
[Esdeath: Tsk.] She quieted down.
[Tushan Honghong: @Ren, Onii-chan, thank you for saving us. I will definitely repay you!]
[Ren: I'm not in urgent need of points. Just work hard to get stronger.]
[Tushan Honghong: Mm! I will!]
Esdeath sat in her chair, silently watching. He doesn't lack points, yet he's unwilling to come? An interesting man. She licked the corner of her mouth, stood up, and walked out of her military camp. "Everyone! Prepare to return to the Imperial Capital!"
