Chapter 274: Akame and Kurome: Ren, We Have Something Good to Watch in Our Room!
This time, Talulah's gaze was no longer cold; she appeared much calmer.
She thought of the past, and a sad emotion spread through her. Only the warmth from his body kept her clear-headed.
Her thoughts raced.
She imagined many scenarios of meeting Ch'en.
What would it be like?
What would she say?
What would Ch'en say?
She couldn't imagine it… she couldn't even picture what Ch'en looked like now.
And she wasn't just thinking of Ch'en, but also… Wei Yanwu.
The person she had once hated and feared.
"Don't worry. With me here, no one on the entire continent of Terra will be able to hinder you."
As her Sin Apostle, Ren knew her inner anxieties with perfect clarity.
Talulah's body and mind trembled.
If it were anyone else's guarantee, she wouldn't have believed it so easily. But if it was Ren's, she was willing to trust him completely.
If he said it, then it would surely be so.
With Ren's assurance, Talulah chose to follow her heart. "I want to see Ch'en."
"Good."
Ren's simple reply settled the matter.
"Thank you, Ren."
This time, Talulah willingly offered him a kiss.
Unlike the stiff, cold kiss from their first time, this one had a touch more warmth and softness.
…
A few minutes passed.
In the living room, Alina felt like time was crawling by.
Click!
The door opened.
Alina eagerly looked over as Ren and Talulah walked out, fully clothed.
That's great!
Alina breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she hadn't misjudged him; Ren was definitely not that kind of person.
"I've finished talking, so I'm heading back now."
Ren left, leaving Talulah to explain things to the two expectant girls.
However, just as he reached the elevator, he ran into two people who had just stepped out.
It was Akame and Kurome.
Both were wearing identical, long, knee-length nightgowns.
"Akame, Kurome, what were you two doing? You look disappointed."
"Eh! Lord Ren!"
Kurome's eyes lit up when she saw Ren. Akame's disappointed gaze also regained its sparkle.
In truth, the two had just gone downstairs to look for Ren, but Kanae had told them he wasn't there.
As for why they were looking for him…
Akame and Kurome exchanged a glance, a silent decision passing between them.
Each of them grabbed one of Ren's arms.
Kurome, smiling mischievously, said playfully, "Ren, we have something we want to show you."
Akame's face was slightly flushed as she mumbled, "Mm, it's in our room."
As she spoke, she hugged Ren's arm tighter, making it sink deep into her ample chest. The sensation through the thin pajamas was incredibly real.
Kurome, on her side, was not to be outdone. Unfortunately, she was a bit smaller than Akame.
So instead, she swayed Ren's arm from side to side. His palm moved with her, occasionally brushing against a slightly firm point.
In an instant, Ren understood their ulterior motives.
Wine?
Ren sniffed the air. Their cheeks were flushed, and they carried a faint scent of alcohol.
"Did you two just have a drink?" Ren asked curiously.
Kurome gently rubbed against Ren's arm. "Uh-huh, with Leone and the others."
He honestly didn't understand what had led to this situation, but he wasn't one to refuse such a willing offer.
He pulled his arms free.
Disappointment flashed in the sisters' eyes, thinking Ren wasn't interested.
They were overthinking it.
Ren's large hands went under their arms, pulling them into his embrace. He pressed down firmly, kneading their soft, firm chests through their clothes.
Feeling the peculiar texture, Ren's mouth curved into a wicked smile.
"Since you have something to show me, what are we waiting for? Let's go see it."
"Ha... alright, alright."
Exhaling hot, crimson air, Kurome and Akame pressed close to Ren's sides. They entered apartment 702 with him, walked through the empty living room, and went into the bedroom.
"So, what did you want to show me?"
Upon entering the room, Ren saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Kurome's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
"Here, big sister, bring it out. The one we just bought today."
Akame blinked her innocent eyes. "Just bought today?"
Kurome left Ren's embrace and took light steps towards her sister. "Of course! The mussels we bought at the seafood market. Didn't we agree to invite Ren to taste them?"
...Akame felt like she had forgotten something.
Kurome shook her head helplessly. "It seems big sister really forgot. Or perhaps you want to hide them and eat them secretly? Then I'll just have to find them myself."
Saying that, she pushed Akame onto the bed as if she were in the way, and then started searching her body.
Finally, she found the "mussels" Akame had hidden under her pajamas and broke open the freshest one to present to Ren.
"Ren, please enjoy!"
If one ignored Akame's face, which looked like it was about to bleed, Kurome's bright smile was truly adorable.
But Ren found this little demon-like Kurome to be very cute as well, especially the way she personally opened the mussels for him. It made him beam with joy.
"Well then, let me see if your mussel sashimi is any good. I only like it fresh, you know."
Kurome's smile became even brighter with confidence. "Of course! The mussels my sister bought are the freshest."
Ren was noncommittal; he needed to taste them himself to know for sure. He would never taste seafood contaminated by nuclear wastewater.
Fortunately, the mussels they bought were pure and uncontaminated. He could tell just by looking at the tender flesh inside.
So he leaned down, opened his mouth, and lightly bit into a mussel.
The moment his lips made contact, Ren felt its extreme tenderness, along with a faint, sweet hint of the ocean.
It was at this moment Ren could confidently say that these were world-class seafood mussels, without any exaggeration. The soft and resilient bounce as his tongue explored the flesh elevated its deliciousness to an unimaginable level.
!!!
Akame knew from the sensation that Ren had begun to taste the mussels she had bought.
She was both scared and expectant.
Scared of his evaluation.
Expectant of his evaluation.
Ren saw her cautiousness in the slight trembling of her body and looked up at her.
"Akame, the mussels you bought are very fresh and perfectly sweet. I like them very much."
