Reincarnated into a Multiverse, but High School DxD

Having just escaped the jaws of danger, all the girls could think about was returning to the church as soon as possible.

"Thank you. You must be affiliated with the church too, right? Judging by what you're wearing, are you an exorcist?"

"Yes. What are you planning to do next?"

Ren asked casually.

"We... plan to return to the church first and report everything that happened during this time. Maybe... we can return to the church again."

Even the nuns themselves did not sound very certain when they said this.

After all, they had all been punished by the church for "making mistakes," which was how Diodora had found his opportunity.

"Then I wish you luck."

Ren nodded. Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do, he left directly.

Heaven Doesn't Withhold Wages

Chapter 6

After Ren left, the Vatican's gendarmerie and the church's guard unit arrived nearby. They rescued the nuns, and upon discovering Diodora's corpse, immediately sealed off the surrounding area.

Even a starved camel was bigger than a horse.

Even though Diodora was dead, the lingering aura in his body was enough for the exorcists to recognize that he had been a High-class Devil.

A High-class Devil infiltrating the holy ground of the Vatican was no small matter. They had to report it to their superiors as soon as possible.

Ren watched from elsewhere for a while before leaving.

However, rather than returning to Heaven to turn in the mission, he went to St. Peter's Basilica and activated the teleportation anchor there. He then took a look at Asia, but perhaps because confidential matters were involved, Ren was unable to see her from outside.

With nothing else to do, Ren could only return to Heaven.

While Griselda was staring at some documents, she noticed another head leaning in beside her.

"Still studying Sacred Gears?"

Ren's voice reached her.

The sudden sound startled Griselda again, and the large waves hidden beneath her nun's habit trembled sharply.

Ren sat back down in satisfaction.

Griselda shot him an annoyed look. Even now, she had not figured out how Ren had managed to slip into her office without making a sound.

And judging by the look in his eyes, he clearly had improper thoughts.

Griselda began to suspect that he was doing it on purpose.

Still, she did not reprimand Ren. After seeing him arrive, she asked, "Did anything go wrong during the mission?"

"No. It's already completed."

Ren leaned back in the ergonomic chair and stretched.

Although his physique was already quite strong, using Super Acceleration directly with his body still placed a considerable burden on him.

His waist felt a little sore now.

"Completed?"

Griselda's initial reaction was mild, but once she processed his words, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

"Less than twenty-four hours have passed, and you already completed it?"

"Are you doubting my abilities?"

Ren glanced at her.

"No, I just thought that maybe you had some inside information. Otherwise, how could you have completed the mission so quickly?"

Griselda was extremely surprised.

The church had actually been tracking this case for a long time, yet after several months, they had failed to find anything conclusive.

But Ren had finished it in twenty-four hours.

If she had not seen a photo of the main culprit, Griselda would have thought Ren himself was responsible.

Or had he turned on cheats?

To confirm whether the information was true, Griselda called the Vatican.

Ren was very curious.

How exactly could a phone call from Heaven connect to the human world?

A few minutes later, Griselda confirmed that an attack had taken place near the edge of Vatican territory several minutes ago.

The deceased was a High-class Devil, and the nuns who had been missing for several months had also been found. They had currently been taken into a church to await further handling.

"Is this a coincidence, or what?"

Griselda found it unbelievable.

That Devil had actually dared to appear within Vatican territory.

And what was going on with the Vatican's barrier? How had a High-class Devil infiltrated without anyone noticing?

Although Griselda knew the church was currently short-handed, she had not expected the defenses of St. Peter's Basilica to be this weak.

"Those nuns were deliberately led into making mistakes by that Devil, then punished by the church."

Ren said.

Griselda nodded. "I understand. I'll send someone to bring them back afterward."

"There's something else. Asia Argento, the saint of your St. Peter's Basilica, was also implicated in this incident. What will happen to her?"

Ren was curious about how the story would develop now that he had thwarted Diodora's scheme.

"If she was falsely accused, then naturally nothing will happen to her. However, this incident has had quite an impact, so it is no longer something I can decide."

Griselda sighed.

"I'll report it to my superiors first. If there is a decision, I'll let you know as well."

"All right."

Ren nodded and stood up to leave.

"Don't forget to transfer the money to my card."

"Don't worry. At the very least, Heaven doesn't withhold wages."

Griselda was speechless.

Not long after Ren left Heaven, Griselda requested an audience with her direct superior.

Gabriel, who possessed six golden wings.

A golden ornament hung from her forehead, while a pure white lily adorned her left ear. The golden halo above her head gave off a gentle glow, but the most eye-catching thing about her was the beauty that even her loose robe could not conceal.

"I already know about Asia. Follow the previous procedure and expel her from the church."

"Huh? But... Lady Gabriel, Miss Asia was deceived by a High-class Devil, so she..."

Upon hearing the outcome, Griselda was quite surprised.

A decision had been reached so quickly. That was far too unusual.

"This was a joint decision made by the other three and me. Her Sacred Gear is too deeply involved. If the outside world learns that the church's saint can heal Devils, the most fundamental faith will be shaken. I regret it. Asia is a good child."

Gabriel sighed softly.

Griselda neither agreed nor disagreed. This was the only way Asia could be handled.

After all, she was one of the few in Heaven who knew that God had already disappeared.

Without God maintaining the Tree of Life system, many problems had already emerged in this world.

"By the way, what do you think of that person?"

Gabriel asked.

Naturally, Griselda knew that Gabriel was referring to Ren.

She thought for a moment before answering, "He's frivolous, though as an outsider, it isn't my place to judge his private life. Still, despite being only sixteen, he's more mature than many of his peers, and he's very strong. Every mission I've assigned him over the past year and a half has been completed with a one hundred percent success rate. He's very reliable."

"Then do you think he could enter Heaven?"

Gabriel asked.

"Does Lady Gabriel want him to join Heaven and work here? Honestly, it would be difficult. I've hinted more than once that he should join the church, but he always refused for the same reason. He doesn't like the feeling of being restrained."

"And if he really joined Heaven, I think it wouldn't take long for him to turn the other angels into Fallen Angels."

Griselda said.

"In that case, forget it."

Gabriel's expression turned somewhat helpless at that. Someone like him truly was not suited to becoming an official employee of Heaven.

Chapter 7

After Ren left Heaven, he teleported back to the Vatican.

Then, without anyone noticing, he returned to Rome and found a hotel to stay in.

Now that the mission was complete, he wanted to see what would happen to Asia next, or whether she would still be expelled from the church just like in the original story.

But that was not something he needed to consider right now.

After enjoying a good night's sleep, Ren got up from the large bed with a yawn.

According to the dreams he had before transmigrating, as a transmigrator, even if he did not have eighty or a hundred maids, there should at least have been one or two busty beauties beside him whenever he woke up in the morning.

However, ever since he met Griselda, he had become busy and had no spare time to chase girls.

Still, today was at least a gap between missions, so Ren planned to wander around Rome for a while.

Not only could he relax, but he could also see whether there were any hidden missions.

After all, it was like how the dogshit game designers in certain games loved stuffing treasure chests into corners that were hard for characters to reach, forcing players to search while cursing them out.

It was not that this world completely lacked such things. Ren simply had not discovered them yet.

After getting up, he casually dealt with breakfast at Rome's morning market before beginning to wander around the city.

Rome was a good place.

Whenever Ren thought of it, several famous emperors from history came to mind.

For example, that ahoge emperor who liked saying "umu."

Besides that, there were plenty of beautiful women here. Unlike the reserved women of the East, the women settled here dressed rather "boldly."

They were not naked, but low-cut outfits could be seen everywhere.

"Tch."

After walking around the streets with an appraising gaze, Ren lost interest.

There was no fun in looking without being able to touch.

The day passed quietly.

Late at night, Ren was in an ordinary restaurant in Rome.

After wandering all over Rome for the entire day without finding anything, he had planned to call it a day and return to sleep. Yet while eating, he encountered an unexpected delight.

Ren stared at a woman in the restaurant. She dressed provocatively and had a hot figure, the kind of blonde, busty woman who often appeared in B-grade movies.

It was not because he was that desperate. It was simply because the system had marked her identity as "Vampire."

A middle-aged man sat directly across from her. He was British and wore a suit, while the Rolex Submariner casually visible beneath his cuff showed that he was quite wealthy.
