I've Met Too Many Girls
The only person present who might be happy was probably the Original Fourth Progenitor.
"Let's go, let's go quickly, then I'll be free for a while!"
"Mr. Ren, is it really impossible... that I can't be taken along?"
Himeragi Yukina stared at Ren's face, her voice wavering slightly.
She still didn't give up.
For her, "surveillance" was no longer just a duty.
"No."
Upon hearing this, Himeragi Yukina's face immediately drained of color.
In fact, girls with her personality tend to be quite serious and prone to overthinking. Ren's decisive answer might have given her a negative feeling that "I am a nuisance."
Seeing the girl suddenly become dejected, Ren laughed heartlessly.
"Come to think of it, I don't think I've told you how long I'll be gone, have I?"
The girls nodded.
Yesterday, they saw that Ren spoke very solemnly, so they subconsciously felt that it would be at least a month, or even longer.
"They'll probably be back in about a day."
They, who were quietly waiting for Ren's return, suddenly fell silent upon hearing these words.
"What kind of expressions are those? Don't you guys think a day is really long?"
The girls stared at Ren, who seemed completely bewildered, and the expressions on some of their faces gradually turned sinister.
Their emotions had already built up to this point, and you finally told us you'd be back in a day?
Keep in mind that these people all have jobs or need to go to school.
After excluding time for eating and sleeping, there are probably less than ten hours of free time left.
Even if they were very reluctant to see Ren leave, they wouldn't mind if he were gone for more than ten hours, or even for three or four days.
"This isn't even as long as our school trip!"
Nagisa Akatsuki spoke for the vast majority of people.
"I've been feeling really down since yesterday."
Aiba Asagi started to complain.
"It's only been one day."
Nangong Nayue stared coldly at Ren.
That old lecher actually dared to use something like that to imply that she should sleep with him for the night?!
If this guy hadn't said it in public, I might have really fallen for his trick.
Fortunately, he held his ground and prevented Ren from succeeding.
However, she was able to hold onto her principles, while others did not.
That little girl from the Lion King Organization was completely fooled by Ren, losing her virginity in just one night, which is the only reason why no one slept well last night.
Kirasaka Sayaka, on the other hand, felt her brain buzzing after hearing that.
I really believed his lies last night!
If it weren't for the fact that Ren was leaving, she would never have lingered in front of the door for so long!
This guy is so despicable and shameless!
However, thinking this way doesn't mean that Kirasaka Sayaka regrets what happened last night.
After all, although the other party was a bit rough last night, those things were definitely not unpleasant to her.
The joy and happiness I felt at that time were absolutely genuine.
She first glared coldly at Ren, but quickly softened her expression with a gentle smile, murmuring in a voice no one could hear, "You'd better take responsibility."
"I'm back!"
After clicking on the world Teleport Anchor on the system map, Ren felt a momentary dizziness and was instantly back in the world of High School DxD.
Kuoh Town.
He glanced at the time on the bedside table and realized that almost two days had passed since he left.
"Isn't it just one day?"
This question lingered in his mind for only a few seconds before Ren realized the problem.
Because when he was creating the Teleport Anchor, he specifically made a round trip to test the interdimensional teleportation.
I returned once back then, so the flow of time should have been reset from that point onward.
However, it's only been less than two days, so it's not a big deal.
This dungeon run was quite fruitful.
Because in addition to those wonderful little props, there is also the final settlement of the Heavenly Law, Earthly Form.
Putting everything else aside, just being able to unlock many of the girls' special CGs before leaving the dungeon is already worthwhile.
He glanced at the time; it was around nine o'clock in the morning. After leaving the bedroom, Ren appeared in the living room.
"Go! Go! Baka yarou!"
Before he had even fully descended the stairs, Ren heard a melodious "native dialect."
Kuroka was sticking its butt out and wagging its tail, its eyes fixed on the computer screen, its hands on the keyboard and mouse, clicking away.
Soon, a large "failure" filled the screen.
Kuroka slumped back into her gaming chair, about to speak, but the thought of the world's strongest dragon god beside her filled her with a profound sense of powerlessness.
"Let's play a different game next time, meow. Ophis, you're not really suited for this kind of PvP, meow!"
Kuroka said weakly.
Today, on a whim, I played a competitive online game with Ophis. I thought I could easily win, but because Ophis just wandered around and fed kills the whole time, our team ended the game easily.
Of course, what angered Kuroka the most was the taunting messages typed in the public chat by the opposing team.
This is intolerable!
She's already considering whether to follow the internet connection to find that person and give them a good beating.
Anyway, she's a cat.
"Calm down, Sister Kuroka. The people on the other side are really awful. How could they say such things?"
Asia watched the whole thing from the sidelines, and said in a puzzled tone.
On the sofa, Lavinia was quietly reading a magic book, while the Koneko covered its ears, seemingly not sleeping well, apparently kept awake by its older sister Kuroka's loud shouting while playing video games.
Valerie, the vampire girl, curled up on a single sofa, hugging her legs and smiling at everyone.
And at this time...
Ophis was about to speak when he sensed something and instinctively turned around.
He paused slightly upon seeing Ren, then said, "You're back. And it seems... you've gotten stronger."
The Infinite Dragon God's senses are even more acute than those of gods; he can detect even the slightest change in Ren.
He walked over and ruffled Ophis's hair, saying, "You're still a long way off."
That being said, he still didn't know how much difference would remain between himself and Ophis after activating the Heavenly Law, Earthly Form.
Before leaving, Ren admitted that he was still far behind some of the top players in the High School DxD world, and even more so in the world of EXE.
However, after the dungeon, the gap narrowed significantly, and he was able to perform much better against his old enemies.
Chapter 379 I've Met Too Many Girls
However, Ophis didn't say much, just nodded, and then continued playing against Kuroka.
This time, Kuroka resolutely refused to play PvP with her again, and instead started a horror puzzle game.
As for whether the horror elements inside would frighten them, Ren felt...
"Holy crap! This is terrifying right from the start! Do you even want me to keep playing?!"
Kuroka jumped up on the chair like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
The Koneko was completely woken up.
Just as I was about to say a few words, I saw Ren's figure.
Her hazy consciousness instantly cleared by half, and she lazily straightened up before greeting Ren.
"Wow, Mr. Ren, you're back."
Compared to others, Asia's reaction was slightly stronger.
Although she has many friends now, Ren is, after all, her first love.
Just like many people have a white moonlight in their hearts, Ren is a similar figure in Asia's heart.
And at this time...
Ren noticed a pair of pale arms reaching out from behind him.
"Welcome back, Lord Ren."
Akeno Himejima gently leaned against his back, her face filled with happiness.
"So, will you eat first, take a shower first, or eat me first?"
Perhaps because her wish had been fulfilled, and because she and Ren had consummated their relationship, Akeno Himejima was much more open than before.
As Ren felt the thrilling softness and curves of the skin pressing against his back, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Finally, I can see a normal figure again.
"Akeno, what are you doing?"
Just then, Rias appeared from the kitchen, her brows furrowed.
Upon seeing Ren, her eyes initially lit up with joy, but she quickly noticed Akeno's flirtatious gestures towards Ren, and her smile vanished almost entirely.
"As you can see, she's being affectionate with my Lord Ren."
Akeno Himejima hugged Rias even tighter, while deliberately looking at her with the air of a victor.
"Akeno, it seems you've been a bit too presumptuous lately."
Rias was unaware that Akeno Himejima had offered herself to her, so until now, she had always felt that she was competing fairly with Akeno Himejima.
After confronting her feelings for Ren, she began consciously learning dating skills and even bought a bunch of instructional books online.
According to the book, Akeno Himejima's current behavior should be considered "provocative"?!
Nevertheless, Rias was still successfully provoked to anger.
It's one thing to joke around on a regular basis.
However, Akeno Himejima still directly lost her temper in front of so many people, which was simply intolerable!
Her idol was like Tang Sanzang falling into the Land of Women—no, she couldn't accept it!
Thinking of this, a deep red magical aura surged around Rias, and in her excitement, Rias immediately entered a battle stance.
Akeno Himejima, however, remained smiling, completely at ease.
Oh dear.
In the past, she would have also unleashed her magic to confront Rias, but she was now Ren's woman.
Rias, unaware and powerless, would be overwhelmed with a sense of dread if Ren were to feign unconsciousness again.
It must be said that Akeno Himejima's goading tactic was quite successful.
Ren knew what Akeno was up to, so he stepped in to smooth things over. Out of respect for Ren, Rias didn't hold it against Akeno.
"I'm going to the kitchen to get busy. Akeno, don't do anything unnecessary. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because Ren is back."
