The Honest Tofu Bun / Come Stay at My Place for a Few More Days

"Ren, the tablet."

Given Ophis's experience, he would naturally know Gabriel and Azazel.

But she didn't care, and simply waved the tablet in her hand, which had no signal, to Ren.

Compared to these "old friends," she clearly valued the animated films that hadn't finished airing.

It wasn't until she spoke again that they realized what was happening.

Gabriel was at a loss for words when facing Ophis. However, her past experiences made her spread her wings and mobilize the divine power within her to the extreme. Azazel's reaction was even more exaggerated. Her three pairs of jet-black wings were fully extended, even smashing some decorations and furniture in Ren' house. She raised her hands in front of her, and extremely dense light power appeared in her palms. Her expression was also completely tense, as if she would shoot out a Spear of Light that could annihilate the entire Kuoh Town if Ophis made any move.

Seeing their reaction, Rias, Sona Sitri, Xenovia, and the others, as bystanders, were too frightened to utter a sound.

At the same time, they were also puzzled as to why these two big shots reacted so strongly when they saw Ophis.

This is not hard to understand.

During the Age of Gods, Ophis had already been driven out of the dimensional rift by the Great Red.

Homeless Ophis wandered from place to place and was forced to fight against forces that were hostile to him.

If they were to experience being attacked by hundreds of Spear of Light fired by Fallen Angels and still emerge unscathed, perhaps Rias and the others would be able to better understand Azazel's current predicament.

It was purely out of fear of facing an unknown, immense power.

Even villains like Lizevim only posed a challenge for them, but Ophis truly had the ability to wipe them all out in an instant—no... the entire world.

Therefore, how could they not be nervous and fearful when they saw Ophis, whom they hadn't seen for thousands of years, reappear?

If you look closely, you'll notice that Azazel's arms are trembling slightly.

As a Gabriel, Gabriel's emotions were more stable than Azazel's. She did not show hostility towards Ophis immediately, but instead looked at Ren.

Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with confusion and shock.

"Mr. Ren, what's going on?"

One second he was swearing that he had not colluded with Ophis, and the next second Ophis himself appeared in front of him.

Anyone in that situation would probably find it difficult to remain calm.

Faced with this situation, Ren still insisted, "Nothing's wrong. Ophis is living in my house right now."

However, Gabriel clearly could not accept this answer.

Ren continued, "Oh, you're probably thinking I'm lying, but I'm not. I just happened to be passing by the headquarters of the Khaos Brigade and casually brought her home. Can you call that collusion? Don't you agree?"

Don't make it sound as casual as inviting a friend to stay overnight when you're letting a dragon god stay in your house!

Even with Gabriel's attitude, he couldn't help but think this to himself.

"It's been a long time, Azazel."

Ophis noticed the awkward atmosphere and spoke with a faint smile.

These words made Azazel tense. "Ophis, I don't care what your purpose is, but even if it costs me my life, I will stop you."

"Really? But you can't beat me."

"..."

While it's true, there's no need to be so direct!

Azazel is very difficult to hold.

At that moment, Ren decided to stop teasing them and reveal the truth to them.

After all, he was a time traveler who knew the plot.

Chapter 412 Honest Red Bean Bun

Then, to the astonishment of Gabriel and Azazel, he released Pluto, who had been temporarily sealed away.

Pluto, suffering from the scorching pain of the purple flames, turned ashen-faced. When he sensed the presence of the high angels and Fallen Angels, he slightly raised his head and looked at the two officials from the Heaven and the Grigori.

"Gabriel and Azazel, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

"Pluto, that old Hades is really generous, actually releasing you, the highest-ranking Grim Reaper."

Azazel's expression subtly changed when he saw Pluto.

Putting everything else aside, the strength of the highest-ranking Grim Reaper is already greater than that of him, the nominal leader of the Grigori.

This is almost equivalent to a chief god of a pantheon coming in person.

But what shocked Azazel even more was that even the highest-ranking Grim Reaper had been captured by Ren.

What on earth does this guy eat to become so strong?

He wasn't necessarily this capable during the tripartite talks!

Moreover, Pluto's limbs had all been severed, and he looked extremely miserable.

"I was only sent by Lord Hades to capture criminals who colluded with Ophis, but I didn't expect to be captured instead due to my lack of strength. If you are still the leaders of the three major powers, then come with me to capture Ren, who is on the wanted list. After all... you should have already seen Ophis, right?"

Pluto looked weak, but still spoke with self-satisfaction.

BOOM!

Ren stomped on Pluto's wound and yelled, "You're about to die and you're still trying to act tough with me, huh?"

Pluto: "..."

At this moment, Gabriel spoke up and stopped Ren from continuing his violence.

Although she could understand Ren's perspective and the feeling of being "framed," Pluto, as Hades's messenger, could not die before the truth of the matter was clear.

"Mr. Ren, since you spared his life, it means there are things that need to be questioned, right? Since he keeps saying that you colluded with Ophis, then you should also have many questions, and of course, so should we."

Upon hearing this, Ren shrugged.

He still had to give face to Gabriel, this fierce yet adorable angel.

If it's Azazel, then I won't give it to him.

Seeing that Ren had stopped attacking, Gabriel turned his scrutinizing gaze to the pitiful Pluto: "I'm sorry, I have many questions for you."

"Why did you Greek Pantheon trespass into the territory of demons? And why did you bring so many Grim Reaper and attack Rias and Mr. Ren?"

"Didn't I already say that they colluded with terrorists to overthrow the entire world? We received advance warning and had to nip their plans in the bud before they could be implemented?"

Pluto maintained the same rhetoric.

Just as Gabriel was about to ask something else, Pluto spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "No matter how many times you ask, I'll still give you the same reason: colluding with terrorists and wreaking havoc on the world. I'm afraid the monsters that are currently causing Underworld were deliberately released by this guy."

Upon hearing this, Gabriel fell silent.

Azazel's gaze lingered on Pluto and Ren' faces.

After all, all the evidence points to Ren. Although Pluto's authority as the Grim Reaper is excessive, his explanation is flawless.

If he insists that Ren colluded with Ophis, then Ren will have no reason to turn the tables.

As for silencing them.

That would be even worse.

Once Pluto is dead, Ren's guilt will be completely confirmed, and even with the help of Gabriel, Sirzechs Michael, they won't be able to recant.

"This is such a hassle."

Azazel rubbed his eyes.

Gabriel also frowned.

She knew Ren long ago because of Sister Griselda.

At the time, she wanted to recruit Ren into the Church, but unfortunately, she later heard from Sister Griselda that he was a bit lecherous and not suitable for the Church's rigid rules and regulations. Even if she forced him to join, he would become a so-called outcast exorcist in a few days.

In Gabriel's eyes, Ren' only flaw was his lust.

Moreover, this shortcoming is not unacceptable for humans.

Humans are inherently driven by emotions and desires. Even angels can succumb to temptations and fall into depravity, let alone a man born into the mortal world.

"Let's detain him for now. After all, it's a fact that Pluto led the attack on Kuoh Town and Rias and the others. As for other matters, we'll investigate them in detail later. In the meantime, Mr. Ren, to ensure your innocence, please don't go out unnecessarily."

"If you can win over the people, I can personally stay and monitor you."

Then Gabriel looked at Azazel and said...

"Should this work?"

"Hmm, if it were you, those guys outside would probably trust you, right?"

Although the Heaven has been criticized for suppressing other forces, its people, especially the current Seraph Gabriel, are undoubtedly of impeccable character.

"Mr. Ren, please bear with us these next few days."

Gabriel said seriously.

Ren was stunned after hearing what she said.

The Seraph offered to move into his house?

That's great!

Even if she can't be like other girls and can only look at Gabriel but not touch him, gazing at the first Mount Fuji in the Heaven every day would probably make her feel happier than before.

Just when Ren was about to be controlled by the small head, he calmed down.

We can look at the first major culprit later; the most important thing now is to clear ourselves of suspicion.

"Azazel, go and pry his mouth open."

Ren turned to the old man and said.

Upon hearing this, Azazel immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm good at getting women to talk, but I'm not so good at getting men to talk."

"What are you saying? I told you to pry his mouth open with your hands."

"Oh oh!"

It was only then that Azazel realized what was happening, and he quickly stepped forward, forcefully pinching Pluto's mouth shut and forcing him to open it.

He only realized it after he had done it.

Wait a minute, why should I listen to Ren?

Ren, without suspecting anything, took out a red bean bun from his storage space and, without saying a word, stuffed it directly into Pluto's mouth.

A strange thing happened.

Although Pluto had no desire to eat this thing of unknown origin, he still couldn't help but swallow it, and thus swallowed the red bean bun into his stomach.

Ren then had Lavinia create a special spell that could capture images, and then asked, "Why are you slandering me?"

Pluto, who had been so defiant just moments before, now stared blankly, his mouth moving uncontrollably amidst his utterly terrified expression.

Then, amidst the shocked expressions of Gabriel, Azazel, and the surrounding girls, they revealed their entire plan to frame Ren.

Chapter 413 Come stay at my house for a few more days

Pluto, or rather Hades behind him, had a simple plan.

His initial goal was to target the Ophis.

In order to obtain the secret of infinite power, and in order to avoid their own exposure, they hired Hero Faction kidnap Ophis.

In order to prevent Ophis from rebelling, Hades specifically entrusted the Dragon Eater Samael from the deepest part of Hell to the Hero Faction.

"However, because the Hero Faction is utterly useless, not only did they fail to bring Ophis back, but they also lost Samael. Therefore, I am ordered by Lord Hades to bring back the Dragon Eater Samael to prevent the other gods from finding out about its loss."

Pluto spoke these words fluently, yet his face was filled with terror, his eyes wide open, clearly indicating that this was not what he wanted.

Azazel was utterly shocked. "What did you just feed him?"

The Fallen Angels actually possess many methods of torture and forced confessions.

However, that method is only effective for people with weak willpower.

For a high-ranking Grim Reaper like Pluto, whose lifespan is unknown, torture is child's play.

"Honest Red Bean Bun".

Ren was very honest.
