He didn't rush to arrange the others. He first opened the Chat Group and inquired within the group.
Ren: "Nami, Tushan Honghong, March 7th, you all returned safely, right?"
Nami: "Mmm, safe at home."
Tushan Honghong: "Brother Ren, I'm also in Tushan."
March 7th: "Hehe, I'm also safe."
Ren: "That's good. Esdeath, you'll have to figure out how to manage your world yourself, since you're about to ascend to Queen."
Shinobu Kocho: "Queen? The ruler of a country?"
Momonga: "Hiss! Wouldn't that be truly wealthy!"
Emilia: "How amazing! Just like a king. If I have questions about governing a country, can I ask you?"
Esdeath: "Strength determines everything."
Emilia: "This…"
Ren: "You better not ask her. Because their world was too corrupt, I added some ingredients, so she's pretty much a hands-off manager."
Ren: "Actually, I wanted to tell everyone about the Plunderer."
Exusiai: "Is there anything special about that Plunderer?"
Ren: "Very special. I dominated his memory and found that he is not from Esdeath's world." He himself was very surprised to get this information.
March 7th: "Gah! He's not from that world? Did he also transmigrate?"
Ren: "This brings me to another shocking discovery."
Ren: "The Plunderer isn't him, or rather, Plunderer is a general term, and its composition is not just him."
Ren: "They can travel through other worlds, and their purpose is to plunder worlds. Every world plundered by a Plunderer will eventually collapse, disintegrate, and disappear."
Saeko Busujima: "A terrorist organization that travels through worlds?"
Ren: "A brilliant understanding."
Ren: "There seems to be some existence managing them behind the scenes, but that part of the memory is blocked by some powerful restriction, making it impossible to view."
Ren: "However, Plunderers also have grades, roughly from level 1 to 10. For example, the one in Esdeath's world is a level 5 Plunderer."
Shinobu Kocho: "A level 5 Plunderer is already so bizarre… I can't imagine how strong a level 10 Plunderer would be…"
Nami: "Worrying more is useless. Everyone, work hard to become stronger, and one day we will defeat them."
March 7th: "That's right, keep up the hard work!"
Reinhardt: "If that's the case… I'm more concerned about whether Natsuki Subaru is also a Plunderer."
Natsuki Subaru… he shouldn't be a Plunderer. Well, Ren himself wasn't clear about the current chaotic situation.
Ren: "Try your best to find them."
Reinhardt: "Yes."
After briefly informing them about some information regarding the Plunderer, he closed the Chat Group. He also had doubts in his own mind. What exactly created an organization like the Plunderer? Aside from the Plunderer information, this Doom Companion was a win-win for everyone. Everyone gained doomsday points and improved their abilities.
Nami's Rumble Rumble Fruit was already lv4. Esdeath became Queen again. Ren gained the Night Raid members, and the Night Raid members fulfilled their wishes. This world also overthrew the Empire and was about to develop peacefully. Everyone won big!
*****
Ren also didn't forget his appointment with Yukino today. He called Tamayo, Kie, and Nezuko. He informed them of the general situation of the few people. Initially, seeing so many beautiful girls, they were also startled. But they quickly relaxed and gladly accepted them.
Ren decided to arrange a room on the first floor for them. He had wanted them to choose themselves, but after seeing the room, it was quite spacious. There were three rooms, so they decided to live together. It was no big deal to squeeze a bit; they were used to it. Finally, Ren gave Tamayo and Kie a good amount of money, asking them to help the others buy some things. As for the identities of the few people, with just a thought of dominance, they already had identities in this city.
*****
After handling the matters of the few people, Ren prepared to go out to Yukino's house.
"Ren-kun, what happened this morning? It sounded very noisy." It was Sayuri walking out of her house.
"Nothing, some new neighbors moved in today."
"Ah?" Sayuri was stunned.
Ren didn't play coy and said directly, "I brought them back from the Otherworld, and they're living here too, on the first floor."
"…" Otherworld… living here too… Doesn't that mean they're all your people, just like Kie and the others?
Sayuri forced a smile and cautiously asked, "They're your contractors too?"
Ren nodded, "That's right, seven of them."
"Seven?!" Sayuri's brain completely short-circuited. Kie's family, Kanae, Tamayo, Eriri, plus seven, that makes twelve. If she herself were to get involved… that would be thirteen!
"Can you really handle it?" The terrified Sayuri blurted out this question. She realized her mistake too late.
"…" Ren oddly raised an eyebrow, "Sayuri, you can't say I can't do it! Even if you add ten more, it's no problem!"
Primal Energy can restore the body and spirit. Forget adding ten, even a hundred wouldn't be an issue!
"Ugh! It's nothing, you go get busy! I'll go say hello later!" Sayuri's face flushed, and she hurriedly closed the door. Before the door shut, she added, "Come find Eriri tonight and have a good talk with her."
Slam! The door closed.
"Are you finally going to talk to me?" Ren left thoughtfully.
*****
He arrived at Yukino's house. She had almost finished packing. She had also called a car outside. All that was left was to move the luggage. After Ren arrived, he easily moved everything.
Before leaving, Yukino looked back at the room one last time with a nostalgic gaze.
"Got attached?" Ren teased from beside her.
"No, it's just the first time I've made such a decision on my own… I don't know if it's right or wrong." Yukino also felt confused by her own changes.
"Since you've chosen, let's see where it goes. Weren't you also very unfamiliar with the Doomsday Game at first? But you became very decisive when killing aliens."
"That's right… everything is changing, and I also need to be firm in my choices." Yukino's eyes flickered, and her words held a meaning only she could understand.
Ren shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't very good at comforting others. He only said what he thought was right. At most, others would take it as a reference. Especially someone like Yukino, who had a strong sense of purpose.
Finally, he locked the front door. Yukino and Ren got into the car and left.
*****
Yukino's room choices were now only the first floor and the third floor. Ren had considered this issue. If this trend continued, the rooms in this house would definitely not be enough.
"It seems necessary to look for a new house."
Before that, Ren still needed to specifically explain to Yukino the relationship between the people living here and him. Because he had already made it clear on the Universe Battleship that he had many people. Plus, Yukino also knew about his ability to go to the Otherworld. So Ren explained the situation without any reservations, including the current relationship between Eriri and him.
"…" After hearing everything, Yukino's Little head also crashed. Or rather, anyone's head would go numb after hearing all that. Yukino was still very strong. After choosing a room on the third floor, he helped her move her things in. She said she wanted to be alone for a while. Ren left as she wished.
*****
Kie and the others went with Sayuri to help the seven Night Raid members buy things. Because the few of them had just arrived, they needed to adapt to their surroundings, so they didn't return until evening. Among these people, except for Sayuri, each of them had decent strength. Ren wasn't delayed at all.
It was already late. Yukino was still in her room and hadn't come out, probably quite scared by Ren. It was quite a pity that his maid couldn't start working immediately.
However, he had said he would go find Eriri tonight. So he went.
"Ding-dong!"
Click.
The door opened. Eriri, wearing a green tracksuit and glasses, peeked her Little head out. Seeing that it was Ren, she pouted awkwardly, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you call for me?" Ren teased.
"I… I know! Come in with me!" Her face flushed instantly, and she pulled Ren all the way into her room.
Eriri's room was a typical cute girl's room. However, there were many paints, drawing paper, and sketches specifically for drawing. This was naturally due to her identity as Kashiwagi Eri. Wearing glasses indicated that she had just been working on a sketch.
Sitting on Eriri's bed, Eriri went to pour him tea. So he casually picked up a sketch nearby and started looking at it.
"Here's your tea…" As Eriri returned, she saw Ren silently staring at her. "Uh… what's wrong?"
Ren stared at Eriri for a long time before finally managing to say, "Eriri, your drawing skills have become even more superb."
"Eh!!! You… you didn't look at my sketches, did you?" Eriri turned pale with fright, her cheeks becoming even hotter and redder. Because the sketches she drew… were entirely based on her, her mother, and Ren as prototypes. Although she didn't intend to publish them, only to keep them for herself. But, it would be really strange if Ren saw them!
Ren saw them. Crucially, he also recognized the prototypes of the three characters. The perverse and explicit content made him stand up, bringing it into reality. It was too outrageous!
"Ahem, Eriri, let's talk about serious matters." Ren coughed twice; he couldn't think about it anymore and brought up the main topic. "You should know about Kie and the others, right?"
"Mm…" Eriri nodded.
"Can you tell me your thoughts? I respect your choice." Ren decided to give her the choice. He had no right to force Eriri.
Eriri didn't respond, taking off her glasses. She walked towards Ren step by step, straddling his lap. Her watery eyes gazed directly into his. "Ren, I want to know if you will always love me?" A trembling voice asked. Even if she accepted everything after learning it, she would still be confused and uneasy. She wanted Ren's promise.
Ren cast aside all unnecessary thoughts. His eyes and mind were now filled with Eriri. Those memories and times he would never forget. "I will always love Eriri." His voice was sincere.
Besides that, Ren did one more thing. He transmitted everything he was thinking to Eriri. He wanted Eriri to know his true thoughts and feelings at that moment.
"…" Feeling Ren's innermost thoughts and a series of imagined scenes, tears flowed uncontrollably. They were tears of reassurance, and Eriri burst into laughter through her tears.
"What is this? I knew you, you scoundrel, couldn't live without Princess Eriri."
"Of course, a knight without a princess is no knight. Eriri is my eternal princess."
"You are also my eternal knight."
*****
Two hearts that understood each other collided. It was also a collision of two people who understood each other. Even in tracksuits, nothing could stop their surging love.
…
"Ah, I'm so tired!" Sayuri opened the door to her home. She was so tired that she collapsed directly onto the sofa. Being busy all day was truly exhausting, and half of it was mental exhaustion. She had communicated and understood the seven new girls well. She never expected them all to be assassins! She didn't mean to discriminate against them. After learning about the information from their world, Sayuri sighed, realizing that those Ren brought back were either pitiful people or good girls. Ren was not only a hero who saved the world but also a kind-hearted person, which made Sayuri very relieved.
Moreover, the seven had distinct personalities. The naturally gentle Sheele was endearing. The lively and cheerful Chelsea was easy to talk to. The mature and valiant Najenda gave a strong sense of security. The generous Leone was very relaxed to chat with, a good child who spoke her mind. There were also Akame and Kurome, a pair of adorable sisters who loved to eat, which deeply touched her, who was well-versed in the essence of things. Finally, she also discovered a girl, Mine, who was quite similar to Eriri in many aspects.
"Alas, Ren-kun is truly a sinner." Sayuri shook her head. They were all good girls. She hoped Ren wouldn't let them down.
Oh, did Eriri eat yet?
"Eriri, have you eaten?" Sayuri called out.
No one responded. Sayuri, dragging her tired body, walked towards Eriri's room.
"Ha!" At the door, she froze. There were sounds of playful commotion inside. And heavy breathing. It was Ren and Eriri!
Her face flushed instantly, and she wanted to leave this place of trouble. But her feet seemed glued to the ground, unable to move. Perhaps she was too tired; she simply leaned against the door and slid down to sit. She glanced at herself. She was wearing a long dress. Her hand could easily pass through the hem of the skirt.
"Mmm!"
