Before they could react, Ren, Yukino, and Haruno returned to the apartment. At the last moment, Ren obtained a total of 2 million doomsday points. The "small fry" were still too weak; all the small monsters on one planet were only worth five giant beasts.
Yukino and Haruno closed their eyes. Haruno's body temperature suddenly rose, and her hair grew into long, fiery red locks. Yukino's body temperature suddenly dropped, and her hair transformed into long, icy blue locks. One was fiery, one was icy. When they opened their eyes, Haruno's pupils turned a scorching, fiery red, and Yukino's pupils turned a cold, icy blue.
"What is this…?" The sudden change left Ren astonished.
Haruno spread her hands. Flames instantly surged. She said with some excitement, "I've gained the power of flames."
Yukino retracted her chill, and the icy blue color of her hair faded. "My power has also increased a bit."
Ren pinched his chin: "You two sisters, one ice and one fire, how come you're so incompatible?"
Haruno also retracted her power, returning to her normal appearance. A mischievous smile played on her lips: "It's not necessarily incompatible, you know. Ice and fire dual-heaven, haven't you heard of it, Ren?" As she spoke, she playfully winked and licked her red lips with her small tongue.
"!!!" As a person of various shades, Ren instantly understood. Recalling Esdeath's ice, that feeling of exhilaration, and now Yukino's ice and Haruno's fire, hiss—this is incredible!
How could the now pure-minded Yukino understand such things? She merely frowned, always feeling that Ren and her sister were talking about something improper.
*****
Ren took out his phone and asked Haruno, "Give me your contact information." After adding her, Ren performed an operation. Yukino and Haruno received a notification. Ren invited them to join a group named "Doomsday Family." He also invited Marin, Megumi, and Chika at the same time. This group would temporarily serve as a communication group for players who had experienced the Doomsday Game.
Ren: "To all members, are you all safely home?"
Megumi: "Mm, I'm very safe here."
Chika: "Ta-da, Chika-chan is back!"
Marin: "Me too. What about Yukino and Sister Haruno?"
Ren: "They're with me."
Chika: "Tsk tsk tsk."
Ren: "Tsk what? Asking for a beating?"
Chika: "Hmph hmph, Ren-kun isn't here with me anyway."
Ren found it amusing. Was Chika trying to provoke him into disciplining her? Was she really a masochist? As long as he confirmed they were safe, everything was fine.
Haruno stretched lazily. She unreservedly displayed her perfect curves in front of Ren. She walked to Ren's side and lightly kissed Ren's lips in front of Yukino. But she didn't overdo it, merely a simple touch and release. Then she giggled and said, "Since Yukino has moved, I'll visit Ren's place tomorrow. I'll head back first today; I won't disturb you two from continuing." With that, she left decisively.
The so-called "not disturbing them from continuing" of course referred to what they had half-finished before entering the Doomsday Game. Although they had already done it in the tent during the Doomsday Game, the feeling upon returning to the apartment was still different.
After the door closed, Ren raised an eyebrow and asked, "How about we continue?"
"..." Yukino's pretty face turned crimson, and she softly hummed in affirmation.
Ren gently carried Yukino back to the room.
*****
Early the next morning, the two returned home. Upon arriving home, they were met with Eriri's slightly jealous look and Sayuri's relieved yet curious expression. Yukino, being thin-skinned, immediately went to play with Haru.
"What are you all doing?" Ren looked at the living room strangely.
Eriri was wearing glasses and holding a drawing board, sketching. Even though her eyesight had recovered, she still habitually wore glasses while drawing. Nezuko, Chito, and Yuuri were watching nearby, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
"Wow! Brother Ren!" Chito and Yuuri were so startled they stood up straight, their faces flushed, and their eyes seemed to spin like mosquito coils. Nezuko also shrank her head and moved a little further away from Eriri.
Ren looked at the drawing board… Goodness! That scene! His lips twitched: "Eriri, aren't you corrupting them?"
Yukino sat at the other end of the sofa, hugging Haru, and glanced over.
"!!!" Immediately, she cast an incredulous look at Eriri. Such restricted content was drawn by Eriri?
Eriri drooped her shoulders, pouting helplessly: "It's not my fault, they came into my room and saw it!"
"Pfft." A giggle came from Sayuri nearby.
Eriri turned her head in shame and annoyance: "Mom! It's all your fault! If you hadn't let them into my room, this wouldn't have happened!" Her secret being exposed made her want to cry. However, she was secretly happy that Nezuko and the others didn't dislike her hobby.
Sayuri was a know-it-all. Eriri should build good relationships with these girls. Moreover, she had carefully observed and analyzed them, and they were all kind, good children, so they definitely wouldn't dislike Eriri's hobbies. It's good to make a few more good friends. Before Ren came, Eriri and the others got along very well.
"Forget it." Ren sighed. He wasn't worried about Nezuko. Little Chito and Yuuri... Ren put on an elder's lecturing face: "I'm not saying you can't watch these, just watch less, understand?"
"Understood." Both of them blushed and nodded obediently like little rabbits.
"Little Chito, Little You, I've washed some grapes here, come and eat them." Sayuri called out to the two girls like a mother. She really liked these two girls. Little Chito and Yuuri's eyes lit up when they heard about the grapes. The words "want to eat" were already written on their faces.
"Go, go." Ren chuckled and patted their heads. Receiving permission, the two who were standing in punishment immediately ran over.
Ren walked between Nezuko and Eriri. Nezuko thoughtfully made some room for him. Sitting on the sofa, Ren directly pulled Nezuko into his arms.
"Ren-ge." Nezuko shyly lowered her head. She thought Ren was going to scold her. Unexpectedly, Ren gently lifted her chin, kissed her, and then whispered in her ear: "Nezuko is already an adult, it's good to learn more, Eriri has many tricks."
"Mmm!" Nezuko, of course, understood Ren's meaning. She buried her face in Ren's chest, even more shyly.
"Idiot Ren, what are you saying?" Eriri bared her little fangs and kicked him with her smooth little foot. Unexpectedly, Ren caught it with his left hand and gently kneaded it.
"Wow!" Eriri only felt her foot was very sensitive. A tingling sensation spread from her little foot to her whole body.
With his right hand, he pulled Yukino to his side. Then he also stroked Haru in her arms.
"Meow!" (So comfortable.) Yukino and Ren's cat-stroking technique made Haru close her eyes in comfort.
Eriri pouted, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
"Isn't that obvious?" Ren chuckled mischievously as he played with her little toes. This made Eriri pant with warm breath while drawing.
*****
Ren enjoyed being surrounded by beauty. He opened the Chat Group, preparing to share his experiences. Then he saw the new member notification.
[Ding! Rory Takakura has joined the Chat Group!]
[Ding! Red King has joined the Chat Group!]
Ren was the first to speak this time.
Ren: "Rory Takakura, Red King, welcome to the Doomsday Chat Group. This is a platform for communication and mutual assistance in Doomsday Worlds."
Ren: "Please judge the authenticity of the Chat Group for yourselves. Do not make outrageous statements in the group."
March 7th: "Haha, Ren has become a ruthless introduction machine."
Ren: "Sigh, who told me I'm the administrator."
Tushan Rongrong: "I hope the new members are easy to talk to."
Exu: "Why isn't Aqua here? Logically, she should be out preaching."
Nami: "She's busy making money."
In a chaotic and inexplicably lively bar, a group of people dressed in flashy, street-style attire were making merry at the bar. A blonde man elegantly mixed drinks with fluid movements. Red liquid was poured into a glass and placed before a man with red hair and a white shirt. He smiled and said, "Mikoto Suoh, I heard the Blue Clan is coming again."
Mikoto Suoh inhaled, his melancholic gaze carrying a hint of tenderness, and exhaled a smoke ring, slowly saying with confident words: "If they come, let's have a good fight."
"We..." The man called Mikoto Suoh stopped speaking. He looked at the light screen in front of him with surprise. He looked up at the blonde man: "Tatara, can you see it?"
"I don't see anything." Tatara didn't know what Mikoto Suoh was talking about.
"What about Anna?" The little girl with white hair and a red dress beside him looked at Mikoto Suoh and shook her head: "Only red."
Mikoto Suoh fell into contemplation.
Mikoto Suoh: "Mikoto Suoh, leader of the Red Clan Homra. This light screen is very strange; no one around me can see it." He changed his name. He was called Red King before.
"...Mikoto Suoh, huh..." His nickname, name, and introduction instantly confirmed his identity to Ren. The King from K, the Red King. But the other person, named Rory Takakura... honestly, he had no impression.
Exu: "Because only group members can see the Chat Group, and you can't reveal group information."
Mikoto Suoh: "I can't determine if this is the ability of a King."
Nami: "You can only discern this yourself. I can only say that everyone is from a different world."
Mikoto Suoh: "I understand." He was very rational and would observe with his own eyes.
Rory Takakura: "So amazing, I really can't say the information."
Rory Takakura: "Hello everyone, my name is Rory Takakura, and I am a B-Daman warrior."
Shinobu Kocho: "Such relaxed words, feels like a cheerful person."
B-Daman warrior. This term brought back ancient memories for Ren. B-Daman Legend... Rory Takakura, he remembered.
Esdeath: "Mikoto Suoh, you just referred to yourself as Red King, right?"
Mikoto Suoh: "That's right, I am a King."
Esdeath: "King... how strong are you?"
Mikoto Suoh: "Not weak."
Mikoto Suoh's statement was already modest; he was confident in his strength.
Esdeath: "Oh? I'm very interested in the Doomsday of your world."
Ren: "Calm down, we don't know what kind of Doomsday they have yet."
Ren: "Although you might not believe in the existence of the Chat Group right now, you might as well talk about the Doomsday that exists in your world. You can check it in your personal information."
Mikoto Suoh: "Abnormal Doomsday (4 stars)."
Rory Takakura: "Mine shows Uncertainty Doomsday (3 stars)."
Mikoto Suoh: "What does that mean? World Doomsday?"
Momonga: "The Doomsday levels of the new members' worlds aren't very high, huh."
Emilia: "That means there's a Doomsday in the world, but Abnormal Doomsday and Uncertainty Doomsday are difficult to confirm the factors."
Tendou Kisara: "Another Uncertainty Doomsday world has been added to the group."
Ren: "I can share a bit about Abnormal Doomsday with you. Yesterday, I entered the Doomsday Game again, and this time the difficulty increased again."
Ren: "Image"
Ren: "These are the giant beasts I dealt with in this Doomsday Game."
The image showed 17 giant beasts gathered.
Rory Takakura: "Wow! Such big monsters, are these real?"
Mikoto Suoh: "What is the Doomsday Game?"
Ren: "The Doomsday Game is one of the Abnormal Doomsdays in my world. It selects players to enter the game, and if no one clears it, these giant beasts will descend into reality."
Rory Takakura: "So scary!"
Mikoto Suoh: "My world is also an Abnormal Doomsday. Do I also have to face these kinds of monsters?"
Ren: "Unclear. The Doomsday in each world is different; you need to discover it yourself."
Mikoto Suoh: "...I understand."
Seitenshi: "Those monsters look even bigger than the Zodiac Gastrea."
Tendou Kisara: "Estimated to be a hundred meters."
Silver Wolf: "Looks pretty cool. It'd be great if they were designed as game bosses."
March 7th: "You really love games. How can Stellaron Hunters be so playful?"
Silver Wolf: "Can't Stellaron Hunters play? That's prejudice!"
Saeko Busujima: "Speaking of which, the Doomsday factors Ren-kun faces are really strange. The enemies keep getting stronger. I wonder what kind of grandson it'll be next time."
Ren: "Who cares? I gained a lot this time too, and I can get stronger again."
Reinhardt: "Ren-san, have you resolved the Doomsday Game?"
Ren: "It's already resolved."
