Meeting Sona Sitri Again

After thinking for a little over a minute, Ren understood the purpose of the two hints.

One is daily tasks.

Although it's called a new feature, it basically means the system will automatically issue some ordinary tasks every day, just like the small tasks that Ren did when he first awakened the system, such as dealing with Stray Devil, rogue exorcists, vampires, and even some ordinary terrorists.

The final rewards are mostly red potions, weapons and ammunition, and some trendy junk.

Of course, there are also some pretty good rewards, such as Senzu Bean and Bio-Brand Hand Sanitizer.

However, as his power and assets increased, Ren looked down on those fashionable trolls more and more.

Now that he has formed Brotherhood, the system has directly integrated the previous small tasks into daily tasks, and the number of daily tasks can be stacked. Not only that, but he no longer has to do them himself.

As long as a member of the Brotherhood completes a mission, the mission reward will be directly credited to their storage space.

This is practically Pokémon, no... it's definitely Pal!

So, when faced with Le Fay, who was waiting for an answer, Ren spoke up before Jeanne could find any excuses to cover it up, "After joining the Brotherhood, I will issue some missions every day, and you can choose to do them."

"What mission?!"

"It's very simple. Fighting off Stray Devil or other alien races that harm humanity—isn't that what heroes are supposed to do?"

"Great! My decision back then was definitely right!"

Le Fay was beaming with excitement, his face flushed, clearly due to his intense joy.

There were only two reasons why she joined the Brotherhood.

Firstly, he had heard about Ren's deeds, and as a young girl in the prime of her life, he naturally admired him greatly.

Secondly, as a descendant of Arthur, she has had a strong sense of justice since childhood; she would even help her neighbor's dog if it was bullied by other dogs.

Now that Ren says the Brotherhood's mission is to fight crime and maintain world peace, it perfectly matches her preconceived notions about the organization.

Jeanne, however, looked completely bewildered.

While she approves of the hero's actions, isn't it a bit too much trouble to do it this way?

Based on her experience during her time with the Hero Faction.

Under Cao Cao's leadership, the Hero Faction simply took on private jobs, working for their employers.

He was less Hero Faction and more of a mercenary.

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing, Jeanne. In the future, when you recruit people, tell them that those who join the Brotherhood will enjoy five social insurances and one housing fund, triple overtime pay, high temperature and low temperature subsidies, and transportation and accommodation expenses will be fully reimbursed during the mission. In addition, they can also get points after completing the mission."

After thinking for a moment, Ren said.

"Are the benefits really that good?"

Jeanne was astonished.

She was just an employee when she was in the Hero Faction.

Cao Cao led them on many journeys, and luckily she had some savings, otherwise she would have starved when there were no missions.

Compared to the Hero Faction, it's like comparing heaven and earth.

If other people knew, they'd probably all be in a panic and submit their applications.

Of the members of the Hero Faction that she knew, apart from a few with family lineages, the vast majority of the other members were from ordinary or poor families. There were indeed some who were truly wealthy and had powerful backgrounds, but they mostly just held a nominal position within the Hero Faction.

When Cao Cao led his men to attack the Five Great Houses last time, several of them did not show up. As far as she knew, they disapproved of Cao Cao's actions and simply went home.

What are points used for?

Le Fay raised his hand and asked a question.

"You can redeem the points for whatever you need here. I'll make a list later."

If it weren't for the system's hint earlier, Ren wouldn't have come up with this idea, but once he got in the right direction, all sorts of inspirations came flooding in.

He felt he would have to create a dedicated internal login platform for the Brotherhood in the future.

The platform allows team members to complete tasks using videos or photos uploaded by themselves, and then automatically awards the team members corresponding points, which are then redeemed through a redemption interface.

Rewards range from small amounts of money and gold to large sums of supernatural items such as hand sanitizer, Senzu Bean, and miracle cures.

Ren's storage space is almost full, mostly containing resources that Ren either doesn't need or has in abundance.

Instead of letting it gather dust, we should take it out and motivate the Pal to complete tasks.

Ren decided to name the platform the Exchange Mall!

Since his system didn't have a similar online store, he decided to create his own!

As for who should do it, Ren had already thought of a professional candidate.

It's none other than Aiba Asagi from the Strike the Blood world next door!

As the world's leading electronic empress, creating an online platform is quite easy for her.

Moreover, the underlying logic code of the Internet in both worlds is exactly the same, so there is no extra learning cost.

"One last question, where is Miss Lavinia? Is she still asleep? I'd like to ask her some questions about magic."

Le Fay asked curiously.

Lavinia was the only one in the house who hadn't gotten up yet.

"This might take a while, let's wait until noon."

"That's what Ren said."

Lavinia held out against him for hundreds of rounds last night, and the same thing happened this morning.

Although I didn't look closely, it's probably swollen.

I won't get up until I've had enough rest.

"I see..."

Le Fay nodded.

However, at some point she suddenly remembered something.

That means Ren was apparently the second to last to get up.

And why does Ren know so much about Miss Lavinia?

Le Fay wasn't some naive, innocent hothouse flower; although she hadn't experienced it herself, she knew what could happen between men and women.

Besides, as a devoted fan, wasn't she the one who actively pursued him here because of Ren's deeds?

In some ways, her thoughts were actually the least pure.

Thinking about it this way, will I ever have the chance to be alone with Lord Ren again...?

With nothing else to do, Ren temporarily left home and went to school.

Entering the school during the day felt quite magical, especially as an outsider.

However, Ren's blatant behavior was quickly discovered by school officials, not by anyone but members of the Kuoh Academy student council.

Sona Sitri.

A girl with neat, short, pure black hair and delicate, thin-rimmed glasses on her nose. Her face was pretty and dignified, with soft lines that did not make her look weak. She exuded a cool and dignified aura. Compared to Rias, she was more slender and looked capable and self-possessed.

"It's been a long time, Lord Ren."

In the student council office, Sona Sitri looked directly at the young man in front of her.

Chapter 401 The Reunion with Sona Sitri

"It's you! It has been a long time indeed. I remember the last time we met was..."

"..."

Sona Sitri remained silent.

Ren clearly said something pointless.

In reality, Ren and Sona Sitri hadn't met many times, and even if they had, it was only when Rias and the others were present.

This is quite normal, after all, Sona Sitri is the student council president, and he's usually too lazy to come to school, so naturally they don't see each other.

"I heard that Rias and the others have been living in your house since that incident."

Sona Sitri composed herself, shedding her aloofness as the student council president and speaking in the tone she would use when interacting with a friend.

Did she tell you?

I asked Ren asked.

"I guess so. I mentioned your situation to her earlier, and she explained that she and her family are living with you because of... training."

"Yes, except for Kiba Yuuto and Gasper."

Ren emphasized this point.

"I don't like having men living in my house."

"I know that too."

Sona Sitri didn't know how to answer.

At this point, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Ren has a very open attitude towards women.

Rias might have already done that kind of thing with Ren.

"Well..."

Ren couldn't quite understand the sigh that Sona Sitri.

However, he still spoke up, saying, "You want to stay at my house too? You're welcome. My house is big, and there are lots of people, so it's lively. You can even go to sleep when you're tired."

"I welcome any beautiful girl."

Upon hearing this, Sona Sitri silently looked at Ren.

The eyes behind the thin-rimmed glasses appeared slightly larger.

She never imagined that Ren would be so bold.

"I think I've guessed what happened with Rias, so are you planning to add us to your harem as well? Won't Rias be angry?"

She said this with a smile, clearly in a joking mood.

"Maybe, but we can just bear with it. Besides, she's a bit of a tsundere; as a demon, she's not as proactive Akeno and the others."

"Rias was like this when she was little. She wasn't very straightforward, but she was very kind. However, it was precisely because of this personality that she encountered many problems that she couldn't solve on her own. But she was very lucky to meet you."

When he said this, Sona Sitri lowered his eyes slightly.

"The engagement to the Phenex family, Gasper, Koneko, and Akeno Himejima —you even facilitated peace talks between the three major powers and the Five Great Houses. You not only lightened Rias's burdens but also helped her go further."

"However, I've been by Rias's side longer than you, and I'm her friend, yet I can't do anything about it."

"Because I always think that because I am a high-ranking demon, because of the old ideas of demon customs, I cannot overcome these obstacles. I am concerned about the opinions of those around me and my own position, which is why I can't do anything."

Sona Sitri his eyes, his usually sharp gaze dimmed, and a hint of melancholy appeared between his brows. Even his breathing was light and carried a touch of loneliness.

"However, as a human, you completely disregarded those factors and solved all of Rias's problems, which makes me very happy, but... it also makes me very jealous, because you solved things that I couldn't do."

After saying these words, Sona Sitri sighed again, her dejected expression easing somewhat.

"Well, Lord Ren, no... can I call you Ren in private? Or Lord De?"

"Let's skip the second form of address; I'm not from an island nation."

"Alright, Ren, I'm leaving Rias in your care. Although she's a bit willful, inflexible, and impatient, she's also more perceptive than anyone else. She needs someone to support her, so I hope I can ask you for help."

Just then, the system beeped.

[Sona Sitri has issued you a quest.]

[Task: Friend's Assist]

[Objective: Maintain the status quo]

[Reward: Sona Sitri's favorability by 50]

Hiss!

Ren gasped twice in shock.

My first thought was that Sona Sitri and Rias had such a good relationship. If one of them were a man, they probably would have become ambiguous by now.
