Just a Jock

Afterwards, Lavinia lifted the barrier, and Ren and Rias said their goodbyes after returning to Kuoh Town.

However, before parting, Rias said to Ren, "I heard from Koneko that the house you bought might not have enough rooms. If you don't mind, I can have my construction team come and help expand the interior space. Of course, it won't look any different from the outside."

Hearing her say that, Ren remembered that Rias had used this technology when she moved into the original male Rias's house in the original story.

However, since it wasn't the main point, he didn't think of it.

Since Rias had taken the initiative to suggest it, Ren had no reason to refuse.

After all, there will only be more and more beautiful girls in the family in the future.

Time flew by and it was already the end of the second week.

First floor living room.

Kuroka, dressed in revealing clothing, sat on a cushion, his eyes glued to the TV screen as he played a game.

Beside her was the Fallen Angels Mittelt, the two of them controlling their respective game characters, engaging in a lively back-and-forth battle.

Ren yawned as he went downstairs. Hearing the sounds coming from the living room, he instinctively looked over and saw that Kuroka had changed her sitting posture and was now lying down with a small pillow under her neck, rolling around while pressing the game controller.

Upon seeing this, Ren's lips twitched slightly.

During this time, the cat lived a more comfortable life than him.

Just as Ren was about to grab her by the back of the neck and teach her a lesson, someone spoke up first.

"Sister Kuroka, don't be so casual here! Please stop!"

"Huh? It's Koneko! Good morning, meow!"

Upon hearing his sister's voice, the black cat tilted its head and blinked as a greeting, before turning back to stare at the television screen.

"Sister Kuroka, don't you feel ashamed?"

The Koneko, dressed in casual clothes, caught a glimpse of Ren out of the corner of her eye, smiled and nodded at him, then immediately turned to stare at Kuroka.

His expression was both gloomy and embarrassed.

"Meow? Shirone, wait a moment. Mittelt and I are collecting important loot materials. Whatever it is, wait until I defeat the boss, meow."

"I'm not stopping you from playing games, but at the very least you should help with chores."

"Huh? But I'm a cat, and cats don't need to do housework, meow."

Upon hearing this, the Koneko was stunned for a moment, then its expression turned helpless.

"It exploded! It finally exploded, meow! It was worth playing games all night yesterday, meow!"

Kuroka shouted a victory cry.

When Mittelt turned around, she saw Ren standing behind her. She hurriedly stood up, bowed, then put on an apron, grabbed a mop, and began sweeping the floor.

"Sister, if you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry."

Shirone's expression became even more awkward after learning that Kuroka had stayed up all night.

Hearing this, Kuroka finally put down her game controller, pouting with a mix of ingratiation and dissatisfaction, and said, "That's because I don't have much to do usually, meow. I wanted to have babies with my master, but you stopped me, Shirone. But I'm a cat, you know. If I suppress my heat for too long with magic, my body will have problems, you know."

"That's too indecent, sister! Mr. Ren will also find it troublesome!"

The Koneko said in an icy tone.

'No, I don't find it bothersome.'

Ren sipped his tea, lost in thought.

At the same time, it suddenly dawned on me.

No wonder there's been no movement since Kuroka declared his intention to launch a night raid on Ren after speaking about Lavinia.

The affections were blocked by the Koneko that moved in.

"But Shirone, this isn't something I can control, meow. And it's not just me, you, Shirone, will go through your heat cycle sooner or later, meow. But Shirone is too young right now, and having a baby so easily might cause health problems. That's why I wanted to experiment with Master first before deciding when it would be safer for you to do it, meow."

Kuroka are known for their outrageous and sensational lyrics.

Born as a cat demon, she lost both her parents at a young age and, after escaping from the Underworld, lived a life of wandering.

After being adopted by Rias, Koneko attended Kuoh Academy, which led to significant differences in the two sisters' perspectives.

The Koneko's face turned bright red upon hearing this.

However, they are not qualified to refute Kuroka's statement.

After all, she occasionally noticed something unusual about her body after accepting the power of her own bloodline, but she didn't pay attention to it because it disappeared quickly. Now she realizes that it was related to her innate constitution.

"I will be patient, sister. You just lack willpower! And some of the things you say can't be trusted."

Upon hearing this, Kuroka helplessly shrugged.

"This isn't something you can endure with willpower, meow, but whatever, you'll find out soon enough, meow."

Kuroka gave a wry smile, his face clearly showing his disbelief.

She then looked at Ren, hands on her hips.

"Since that's the case, then I'll just have to find a time when the Koneko isn't around to have my babies with you, meow! By the way, I'm a member of the Vacuum Sect, but I usually maintain this using magic, so no one will find out."

"Elder sister!"

"Meow meow meow?"

Faced with Hei Ge's relentless and unyielding Kuroka, even the Koneko felt utterly helpless.

However, if the relationship is consensual, she has no right to stop it.

Unwilling to discipline Kuroka any longer, she approached Ren and said, "Mr. Ren, the minister told me this morning that she has proposed to her family that she and her fiancé have a formal Rating Game, with the bet being her engagement. If she wins... no, the minister said we're sure to win."

Ren wasn't surprised.

Although they haven't been training for very long, each of them has made significant progress.

Gasper, in particular, was able to briefly activate the power of time stop after his previous desensitization training.

This ability is practically a machine gun for crushing grunts.

Once activated, even high-ranking demons will be time-stopped.

However, Riser and his retinue were quite mediocre. The reason they achieved a good ranking was purely due to their consumption of Phoenix Tears during the competition, coupled with their immortal bloodline.

Most of his opponents, despite being stronger than Riser, were worn down and killed.

However, if Gasper can activate time stop, Rias and the others can eliminate their opponents in an instant.

Rias meant to invite Ren to watch the match, and he agreed.

Just then...

The keepsake in Ren began to heat up.

Chapter 151 Just a Sports Student

Chapter 151

Ren had anticipated this.

Two weeks have passed since the peace talks, and it's time for Sirzechs to fulfill the promises he made.

After opening the system map, Ren was quickly teleported to the Underworld territory where the Katerea faction was located.

Ordinary demons cannot approach the place where Katerea works and lives, but Ren was unaffected and did not bother to knock; he simply pushed the door open and went inside.

Inside the door, Katerea was sitting behind a luxurious mahogany desk, completely unsurprised by Ren's intrusion, not even glancing at him.

"You've come."

Katerea didn't even look up, clearly having anticipated this outcome.

She knew Ren's style perfectly well; he completely ignored orders and demands, acting purely according to his own will.

Of course, if Ren were to knock on the door honestly one day, she would start to doubt whether the person outside was actually Ren.

"Then I'll leave?"

Ren complained.

"What you're saying is, didn't you send me a message using a token to tell me to come?"

"Stop being cheeky, Ren, I have something very important to tell you."

Katerea ignored the sarcastic remarks and said with a serious expression.

But Ren didn't give her a chance to continue, saying, "It must be that Sirzechs agreed to your request to establish a kingdom. I guess their envoy just left not long ago."

How did you know?

Katerea exclaimed in shock.

"Isn't it obvious? Your Old Maou Faction was already in a state of being left to its own devices. They should be grateful if you don't cause any trouble. Moreover, at this critical juncture when the three major powers are forming an alliance, you even proposed the demand for independence. They probably can't even be happy about that."

There are currently only three factions in the entire Underworld.

One is a demon, one is Fallen Angels, and the other is Katerea.

Now that peace can be achieved without firing a single shot, the current Demon King's government is unlikely to disagree.

"Tsk, I was hoping to give you a surprise."

Katerea pouted.

Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing; it can make life less fun.

However, Katerea didn't think too much about it. She was in an exceptionally good mood today, her mind filled with thoughts of becoming queen.

People are in high spirits when they have good news, and Katerea was in an exceptionally good mood. She couldn't help but lick her lips when she looked at Ren.

She felt that Ren smelled especially sweet today.

However, when she sat on Ren' lap as usual, she noticed that Ren seemed somewhat distracted.

This immediately put Katerea in a bad mood.

How dare you get distracted when we're doing something important?

However, the reason Ren did this was because the quest he accepted last time to make Katerea queen had not been completed.

Logically, once the current government acknowledges Katerea's status, the mission should have been completed, but there hasn't been a notification yet, which suggests there might be other unforeseen circumstances.

Thinking of this, Ren looked at Katerea and asked, "Don't rush. Although the current government has agreed, shouldn't you think about who else might be unhappy about you living such a comfortable life?"

Upon hearing this, Katerea paused slightly, pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "If I had to say, it might be Shalba Beelzebub, but he has already fled his original territory, and my army is preparing to take over that place."

"Oh, you mean the Shalba will stop me from establishing a nation?"

If Ren hadn't brought it up, Katerea might not have even thought of it.

After all, he stabbed Creuserey in the back during the last incident, so it's not surprising that he would be stabbed in the back by Shalba this time.

Moreover, based on her understanding of the Shalba, this descendant of Beelzebub was extremely petty and might actually try to trip her up on the day she announced the establishment of the state.

But Katerea quickly smiled, her slender, healthy fingers gently tracing across Ren's chest. "Since you put it that way, is there a way to help me solve this problem?"

"As a reward, you can ask me to do anything you want~~~"

As she said this, she deliberately pulled her deep V-neck down even further, so that Mount Fuji was almost touching Ren's face.

[Katerea has issued you a new quest]

[Quest: Help Katerea]

[Objective: Locate Shalba, stop him from sabotaging Katerea's nation-building plans, and kill him.]

[Reward: +30 reputation with the Katerea faction, 1 random reward]

"I don't care about rewards or anything, I just enjoy doing tasks."

Upon receiving the new mission, Ren immediately felt relieved, his eyes reactivating auto-aim, while Katerea gave a slight smile.

Ha, men!

Isn't she just easy to manipulate?

One hour later.
