Something Was Wrong with Koneko
The other girls gasped in shock upon hearing this, realizing they were contributing to global warming.
"You're cursing me to die, aren't you?"
Ren was completely baffled.
"But you are human. I have never seen a human who doesn't grow old. The longest-lived ones only lived to be a little over a hundred years old."
Rias shook her head.
A hundred years may seem like a long time, but for immortal beings, it is just a fleeting moment when they look back on the past.
"Will Mr. Ren grow old and die? I... I don't want... Mr. Ren to grow old! And I don't want him to die!"
Asia, influenced by their words, had already started wearing small pearls, completely disregarding the fact that she was also human.
"Ah, so Asia is human too!"
"Irina Shidou suddenly said."
"Don't worry, Irina. Given Asia's faith in God, we just need to ask Michael or Lord Gabriel to help transform her into an angel."
Xenovia said.
"No, I don't want that! I want to stay with Mr. Ren forever!"
Asia burst into tears.
The crying seemed to affect them, and the girls' hearts immediately became heavy.
"I... I don't want Mr. Ren to die either!"
"Isn't there any way? Mr. Ren, sob sob..."
"It's alright, Asia. After Ren passes away, I'll take you to offer incense to him every day."
Xenovia said earnestly.
These words immediately made Asia cry even louder.
Kiba Yuuto and Gasper also looked over.
Ren glanced at them and felt a wave of nausea.
You two men are blushing like a teapot!
"Fine, fine, so you're all cursing me to die, aren't you?"
Ren had been speechless many times, but this was the only time he had ever been this speechless.
However, upon closer reflection, he realized that among all the worlds, very few purebred humans actually live long lives.
Take the world of Strike the Blood as an example: all immortal beings are demons, and humans can only achieve immortality through two means.
One was sealed in a time-stopped otherworld, and the other became a vampire's familiar.
It seems that very few truly pure-blooded humans, aside from those who cultivate immortality, can achieve true immortality.
Moreover, if we must be precise, those cultivators who truly attain immortality have already transcended the realm of humanity.
"System, system, can you check my lifespan?"
"..."
"System, come out! Is my lifespan now infinite, like that of the demons?"
"..."
"System, is that you...?"
"The system does not have a function to check lifespan. Please explore the remaining lifespan yourself."
Upon hearing this news, Ren's heart sank.
If it can't be found, it means it's not true.
Thinking about it carefully, lifespan limitations are actually a bit of a pain.
However, he is not worried that he will actually grow old.
After all, both the High School DxD world and Strike the Blood world have ways to grant people unlimited lifespans.
If only he could be reincarnated as a vampire, demon, Fallen Angels, or angel, or even a demigod.
If he were to make a public announcement throughout the world, not only the three major powers of the Bible, but also other mythological forces would be happy to offer him an additional divine position.
But Ren has no intention of becoming inhuman.
Then he thought again and realized that he seemed to have undergone several physical enhancements before.
Even if he isn't an immortal being yet, given the basic physique of Campione!, he could easily live for several thousand years now.
Furthermore, if we do more tasks and earn more rewards in the next few years, the lifespan limitation will eventually be resolved.
It's a pity that this world doesn't have the Underworld like in Journey to the West, otherwise he would definitely have to go to the Underworld to ask Yama to cross his name off the Book of Life and Death.
Of course, even if it did exist, its name would definitely not be in the Book of Life and Death.
"Alright, I might live longer than you think. But more importantly, are some of you ready to undergo my special training?"
Being "mourned" by a group of pretty girls, without any ill intent, made Ren a little unhappy.
Therefore, he could only use his position to settle personal scores and severely train these guys to satisfy his inner pleasure.
Seeing that Ren was getting angry, the girls all fell silent.
Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.
Ren is so powerful that he cannot be treated like an ordinary person.
Perhaps they are overthinking things.
But who told Valerie to suddenly become so talkative!
But Ren clearly didn't care about their thoughts. Everyone present, except for Lavinia, Asia, Rossweisse, Koneko, and Kuroka, who didn't need his attention, all received extra training from Ren.
Especially Gasper, that shut-in.
During the courage training, Ren stopped using a gun and started blasting with an RPG.
So Gasper's screams never stopped within the entire barrier. Valerie wanted to persuade Ren to be gentler with Gasper, since he was, after all, her brother, but Ren refused to listen, saying that he wouldn't die anyway and that Asia could heal him instantly if he got hurt.
Of course, Ren wasn't really angry.
At least during his intensive training, everyone's abilities improved considerably.
During a break in the game.
Ophis walked over and threw a bunch of bottles at Ren, inside which were substances the size of thumb-sized black snakes that were slowly twisting.
Here's a snake for you.
"?"
"The snake that split from my power should be able to increase your lifespan."
"..."
The power of the Ophis is "infinity".
Previously, the Khaos Brigade frequently demanded snakes from her that could enhance their power, and before that, the Hero Faction had also demanded snakes from her that could activate the power of Sacred Gear, so it's not surprising that Ophis could create snakes that increase lifespan.
Looking at the serious-looking Ophis, Ren grinned, thought for a moment, and then accepted the gifts.
Even though he might not need it, it was still a token of Ophis's goodwill.
Chapter 382 The Strange Koneko
Time flies, and the day's intensive training quickly came to an end.
Although they were all ravaged by the training, no injuries were left thanks to Asia's treatment.
Furthermore, Asia's healing power and range have also been enhanced because she frequently heals them.
Valerie and Ophis are probably the most relaxed people here.
Ophis, needless to say, is the world's strongest dragon god. Valerie herself doesn't have much combat power, and the Holy Grail's main purpose is for resurrection.
"Shirone, what's wrong with you today, meow? You've been so distracted, meow?"
On the way home, Kuroka, unusually, scolded the Koneko.
During today's cultivation of immortal arts, the Koneko wasn't very focused and seemed rather sullen.
"It's nothing, sister, I'm probably just a little tired."
The Koneko shook its head and didn't say anything more, but just glanced at Ren, who was surrounded by Akeno and Rias.
She pursed her lips, feeling something strange in her body.
After dinner, the girls, exhausted from their daytime training, quickly went to bed to rest.
Only Kuroka and Ophis were still playing games in the living room, full of energy.
Ren didn't bother with them. After all, they were just a cat and a dragon. Staying up all night was nothing to them.
Back in his room, Ren leaned against the headboard and started scrolling through his phone.
Although his current physical condition allows him to maintain his energy for extended periods without rest, he still needs to retain some of the habits of an ordinary person.
A faint fragrance lingered in the bedroom, even in the blankets covering Ren.
Ren was certain that this was Lavinia's scent.
It seems that during the two days he was away, Lavinia still habitually slept in his bed.
Needless to say, they'll probably come back tonight for a night raid, just like they always do.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ren's lips.
Lavinia's first day here, I miss her!
Not long after.
Just after Ren finished watching the fifth video of excrement, soft footsteps came from the hallway outside the door, followed by the sound of the doorknob turning gently.
To facilitate the beautiful girl's nighttime raids, Ren developed the good habit of not locking the door.
However, when the figure outside the room came into view, Ren's expression turned to surprise.
Because the person who came was neither Lavinia nor Akeno Himejima, but Koneko.
The Koneko was wearing a white kimono, which was perhaps too loose, revealing a large expanse of fair skin at the neckline. However, the most eye-catching features were the cat ears peeking out from between its silvery-white hair and the fluffy tail hanging down from the hem of the kimono.
The fabric of the dress was embroidered with faint patterns, and the wide sleeves hung down, making the figure appear even more soft and slender. The white sash was tied into an exquisite knot at the waist, perfectly cinching the waistline.
The Koneko didn't say anything; it just kept walking in after the door opened.
Her eyes sparkled with a languid allure, and her exquisite figure was faintly visible beneath the thin kimono.
As he got closer, under the glow of the lamp, Ren could see that the Koneko's face was flushed, and even her exposed skin had a touch of allure.
She walked to the bedside, then, looking dazed, lifted the hem of her white kimono.
In that instant, despite it being night, Ren was able to see a small East African rift valley appearing in the desert.
Although Ren had seen many different kinds of oases, this was the first time he had ever seen one like this.
While Ren was still pondering what was going on, the Koneko had already untied the sash and naturally removed her kimono with both hands.
The wide sleeves slid down her arms to the ground, and the girl, now completely transformed into a little lamb, took the initiative to hug Ren.
Her rapid breathing pounded against his chest, and Ren could feel the burning heat of the woman in his arms, who was even slightly sweating.
"Mr. Ren, I... I'm so sad."
The Koneko slithered up his body like a snake, wrapped its arms around Ren's neck, and lay panting heavily on his neck.
At the same time, her petite body kept twisting and turning.
Not only that, the Koneko also used one of its paws to grab Ren's hand and place it on its chest.
The soft and delicate touch made her voice sound even sweeter.
Although she looked like a human, the girl, whose true form was still a cat, licked a ring of saliva around Ren' neck with the rough texture of a feline tongue.
At the same time, she grabbed Ren's other hand with her other hand.
No...
