You're a Great Judge of Character

And so, Jeanne drifted off to sleep, lost in her own thoughts.

The next morning.

Compared to the drizzle last night, the rain poured down.

Large raindrops pounded against the windowpane, making a loud pattering sound. In the distance, tall buildings were shrouded in a white mist, their outlines barely visible.

Ren yawned as he woke up, and before he even opened his eyes, he felt a soft, warm object in his arms.

A comfortable sensation came from the palm of my hand.

I subconsciously squeezed it; it felt pretty good.

However, when she opened her eyes, she realized that she had somehow ended up hugging Jeanne from behind, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Perhaps because the movement was a bit too forward, Jeanne, who was fast asleep in my arms, slowly woke up after letting out a soft murmur in her sleep.

However, the confusion of just waking up quickly vanished because of the presence behind him. His body tensed up instinctively, and he wanted to grab his sword, but soon he heard a voice behind him.

"Jeanne, don't turn around, it's me, Ren."

"?"

We absolutely have to turn back now, okay?!

The fully awakened girl's body was extremely sensitive, and she could clearly feel as if there was a red-hot iron rod behind her.

Although Jeanne was a saint, she was not entirely ignorant, so she quickly realized what it was.

Her delicate cheeks immediately flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the intensity of her struggles actually decreased.

"Rod... Ren, could you... could you remove that thing from my back?"

"Sorry, this is a normal physiological reaction."

Ren shifted his position slightly backward.

"And... and your hand."

"Sorry, it ran there by itself."

"Um, could... could you let go of me?"

Ren eventually released Jeanne.

Just looking at her flushed face and the hint of unfinished business, one could guess that there might be something going on.

Jeanne and Rossweisse are similar in some ways, both having a special desire for contact with the opposite sex. However, compared to Rossweisse's eagerness to marry, Jeanne is more of a dominant type with less defensiveness.

When they first met, Jeanne liked to tease him from time to time, but when it really came down to it, she would back down faster than anyone else.

At this point, the other party needs to step up their efforts.

However, Ren has a lot to do today, so he has to postpone eating Jeanne for the time being.

"I'm leaving now. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

After saying that, Ren left the hotel.

Jeanne, savoring the lingering warmth and touch on her body, buried her head in the blankets and let out a suppressed and shameful laugh.

Heavy rain poured down on the road, and the billboards rattled loudly in the strong wind.

However, the bus stop was still crowded with commuters waiting to get to work. A bus sped by, hitting the puddle and splashing water onto a large group of people at the bus stop, which angered the already resentful commuters.

After contacting Suzaku Himejima by phone, Ren met at a coffee shop.

Her long, glossy black hair was damp at the ends from the rain, but even with a hat on, she still gave off an air of composure.

Apart from that, Suzaku Himejima remains as large as ever.

At this moment, she was reading Akeno Himejima's reply, her face full of a kind smile.

After a long silence, Suzaku Himejima put away the letter and said solemnly, "Thank you."

Knowing that Akeno Himejima was doing well, she, as her older cousin, was completely relieved.

"However, I have to go back. Kyoto hasn't been very peaceful lately, so you'd better stay away from Kyoto as well."

Chapter 215 You Have a Real Eye for People

Chapter 215

Ren certainly knew which matter Suzaku Himejima was referring to.

Cao Cao just caused trouble for the Five Great Houses last night, and today the Five Great Houses are conducting a city-wide manhunt.

As the successor to the Himejima Family's patriarch and the host of the spirit beast Vermilion Bird, Suzaku Himejima naturally had to be a pioneer.

Despite being so busy, I still managed to squeeze out time, all because of Akeno Himejima.

"If Kyoto were peaceful, I wouldn't be here."

Ren chuckled softly.

"So, is there anything I can help you with?"

"..."

At first, Suzaku Himejima didn't want outsiders to get involved in this matter, but then she thought that if she really planned to do so, she would seem to be no different from her uncle Himejima Suou.

Moreover, from last night's confrontation, she has deeply experienced just how strong the Hero Faction is.

The fact that the other party dared to directly announce their criminal activities proves that they have absolute confidence in dealing with the Five Great Houses.

Moreover, with the Five Great Houses now planning to fight independently, Suzaku Himejima is not confident of victory in tonight's battle.

Then Suzaku Himejima gave a general explanation of the current situation.

"Although Cao Cao of the Hero Faction did provoke our Five Great Houses, the most important thing is not that, but the Nine-Tails they kidnapped. Although we don't know what kind of experiments they will conduct on it, if the Nine-Tails is injured or even killed, the entire Kyoto will be plunged into an irreparable situation."

"So if possible, please try your best to find the Nine-Tails' location and rescue her."

[Suzaku Himejima has issued you a quest.]

[Mission: "Rescue Yasaka"]

[Objective: Prevent the experiment from proceeding and ensure Yasaka's safety]

[Rewards: Himejima Family Reputation +20, Suzaku Himejima Affection +20, Random Reward *1]

"That's easy."

Ren nodded.

He can accomplish this simply by going back once.

"Wait a minute. Since the Hero Faction is going to use the Nine-Tails for experiments, it means they will only appear when the experiments can proceed as scheduled. If possible, try to rescue the Nine-Tails when they appear. At that time, I and the others from the Five Great Houses will assist from the sidelines and hold off the main force of the Hero Faction."

Suzaku Himejima said.

Although entrusting the rescue mission to Ren is only a precaution, if Ren successfully rescues the Nine-Tails, the Hero Faction hiding in the shadows might not show up.

Himejima Suou's order was to eliminate the Hero Faction.

If they don't intend to show themselves, there's no point in talking about eradicating this problem.

"Perfectly OK, no problem!"

Since it was the employer's request, Ren had no objections.

"As for the payment... I will come to settle the account with you personally after this matter is over."

At this point, Suzaku Himejima stood up.

"I have a lot to do, so I won't be able to keep you company for the rest of the time."

After saying that, the girl put on her hat and left in a hurry, leaving Ren with only a silhouette of her back as she gave birth.

After Suzaku Himejima left, Ren did not immediately return to the hotel to find Jeanne and rejoin the party.

Instead, he just stayed in the coffee shop and played on his phone.

Jeanne of Arc didn't send a message until after lunch, urging him to return as soon as possible.

Ren then lazily left the restaurant, hailed a car, and went to the hotel to meet Jeanne at the pre-arranged location.

After walking for a while, they entered the barrier that drives away people and found the Hero Faction members preparing for battle.

Cao Cao was assigning tasks to everyone at this moment.

He was paired with Georg, and was responsible for acting as Georg's bodyguard, assisting him in making final adjustments to the magic circle.

The white-haired boy, who possesses the Longinus "Annihilation Maker," goes ahead to the amusement park created by Georg to create monsters.

Siegfried, Heracles, and the others took their positions.

Ren continued to stay with Jeanne, guarding the Nine-Tails. Once the magic circle was adjusted, Georg would lead them to the game arena, a replica of Kyoto.

This was exactly what Ren wanted, saving him a lot of trouble.

"Tonight may be a tough battle, but if we succeed, we will be famous. So I look forward to your fighting spirit!"

As was customary, Cao Cao gave everyone another pre-battle brainwashing session, which made the young people all excited and full of anticipation.

After it was over, the dozens of people split into several small teams and dispersed, leaving only Ren and Jeanne, along with the previous group, behind.

The waiting time was extremely boring for the hot-blooded men and women. After greeting Jeanne, Ren went into the room where Yasaka was being held.

The room was devoid of any furniture or decorations, and the sealed Yasaka stood motionless with his eyes closed.

The light was dim, but her golden hair still shone as brightly as if woven by sunlight, reaching down to her waist when it was draped over her shoulders.

At the same time, her blonde hair made her skin appear even whiter, and even though she was unconscious, her eyebrows and eyes still carried a hint of allure.

As for her figure, she was simply a rare beauty.

The full curves are very impactful, especially the amazing arc that doesn't look bulky, creating a striking contrast with the slender waist.

Ren stepped forward.

Jeanne, watching his actions with a suspicious look, asked, "Huh? What are you doing?"

"Let's conduct a small experiment."

As she was saying this, she saw Ren suddenly pull out a very peculiarly shaped dagger.

Jeanne's eyes widened in shock. "Wait! You're not planning to do something lewd to Georg before her experiment begins, are you?!"

It's no wonder Jeanne made those connections.

After all, she was attacked by Ren's lewd hands and a red-hot iron rod when she woke up this morning.

If he hadn't had other things to do, she, who had remained chaste for almost twenty years, would probably have ended up in Ren' hands.

Now, seeing Ren brandishing a dagger at the voluptuous Nine-Tails, coupled with the smile on Ren face, anyone would think that his next move would be to tear Yasaka's clothes with the knife and then play with those two Mount Fuji.

Hey! You have a great eye for people!

"?!"

However, it's clear that Ren wouldn't actually take advantage of someone's vulnerability.

After confirming that no one else would approach, he touched the dagger to Yasaka.

In that instant, Jeanne seemed to hear the sound of glass shattering, and a faint gust of air spread outwards from Yasaka, stirring up dust on the ground.

Then, Yasaka slowly woke up from his coma.

"What... what's going on?"

Jeanne Arc looked surprised.

But she quickly realized what was happening.

"Did you leave this morning just to do this?"
