Chapter 467: Shinomiya Ayase and Tsugumi, the New Funeral Parlor!
Funeral Parlor. Although Gai Tsutsugami had left, and many people had scattered, there were still some who wanted to fight for freedom. So, it was renamed the New Funeral Parlor, with Shinomiya Ayase as the leader. But their manpower was insufficient.
Today, after rescuing a school, some students were willing to join.
In a conference room, three people sat. "Currently, it seems they are all fine," Tsugumi reported to Ayase.
"That's good. This way we can make up for our manpower," Ayase breathed a sigh of relief.
"Among those people, one has a problem," Yuzuriha Inori suddenly spoke.
Ayase and Tsugumi looked at her. "Who?"
"I don't know." Inori's reply was just a shake of her head.
If they weren't aware of her personality, they would think she was messing with them.
"Ouma Shu." A man's voice suddenly appeared. Ayase and Tsugumi simultaneously drew their guns, their muzzles pointed behind Inori.
"Who are you!" Tsugumi's eyes were piercing. This was their secret base.
"Don't you remember me? We met once before." Ren had a harmless look.
Ayase frowned, then remembered. "You're the one who brought Inori here back then!"
"That's right. You can call me Ren. I'm Inori's friend. No need to be so hostile."
"Ren is a friend," Inori nodded seriously.
"…" Ayase and Tsugumi exchanged glances, hesitating. But the next second, their eyes narrowed, and their guns pointed to the sides of the two.
"Who are you two?!" Two red-haired women had also appeared. One had long hair, wore armor, and exuded a fierce aura. The other had twin ponytails, wore a dress, and held a flaming sword.
"Is this really another world?" Stella looked around curiously.
Erza's eyes, however, were fixed on Ren. She unconsciously gripped her sword.
"No need to be so nervous. I'm Ren, the administrator," he explained.
"Erza Scarlet, from the magic guild Fairy Tail." Relaxing her grip, she stated her name. She had reacted purely instinctively; just looking at him made her body tremble with fear.
"Stella Vermillion," she said, then looked at Ayase and Tsugumi, her eyes filled with fighting intent. "Are you the enemies?"
"You're the invaders!" Tsugumi retorted angrily, ready to pull the trigger.
Regarding the situation, Ren simply said, "Put away your weapons."
Immediately, all four of them put away their weapons in unison.
"What's going on? My body is out of control!" Stella panicked.
"Don't scream. They are not enemies, and we have no ill intentions," Ren looked at Ayase and Tsugumi. "They are also friends of mine and Inori."
"…" Tsugumi's mouth twitched. They just introduced themselves. How did they become friends? However, due to his unknown power, they chose to remain silent.
"Forget it. It's more important to get down to business. Follow me." He took Inori's hand and walked out. The others, startled by their bodies being out of control, chose to follow.
They arrived at the hall where the new students were gathered. When they saw Ayase, they all stopped talking.
