Chapter 877: "Taking Care" of Them in Bed? A Truly Nurturing Experience
The next few days flew by in a blur of laughter and indulgence.
Under Ren's generous hospitality, Lynx, Hook, and the rest of the guests from Belobog experienced the absolute time of their lives. He spared no expense, personally escorting them across the city to every conceivable entertainment venue—from sprawling amusement parks to spending quality time with Yukinoshita and Miyuki.
Now, standing at the departure gate, the atmosphere was thick with reluctance. Flushed cheeks and shy, lingering glances were directed his way.
Bronya's expression, however, was by far the most complicated. Her silver-gray eyes darted around, a mix of deep embarrassment and lingering exhaustion. Every single one of her worst premonitions before this trip had come true with ruthless efficiency.
With the sole, strictly enforced exception of little Hook, every single woman in their group had been thoroughly devoured by Ren.
Consequently, the incredibly embarrassing question about 'raising a child' that Seele had blurted out during the welcome banquet was now a very real, very pressing concern for all of them.
Bronya sighed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless. Everyone in the Chat Group was absolutely right. Ren... he really is an incubus in human skin.
If she hadn't clung desperately to her last shred of sanity, she wouldn't have just been completely consumed by his insatiable appetite—she almost ended up sharing a bed with Cocolia and him at the exact same time.
Just the memory of that near-miss caused Bronya's face to flush a violent, steaming crimson. She shot a deeply resentful, yet undeniably affectionate glare at Ren, who was currently wrapping his arms around Natasha and the others, pulling them in for deep, lingering goodbye kisses.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Seele cleared her throat loudly, her hands firmly clamped over Hook's eyes to shield the child's innocence. "Is it my turn yet?"
Her tone was a potent mixture of eager anticipation and sour jealousy. Watching the man she had fallen so hard for being so intimately affectionate with the others was testing her patience.
Hearing the pout in Seele's voice, Natasha gracefully pulled back from Ren's embrace, her lips slightly swollen. She offered a gentle, indulgent smile. "Go ahead, Ren. Don't keep her waiting."
Despite her own deep infatuation with the man standing before her, the underworld doctor was far from selfish.
"No need to rush," Ren chuckled, his voice a low, magnetic rumble. "There's more than enough of me to go around, and we have plenty of time."
With a smooth, practiced motion, he reached out and pulled both Seele and a highly flustered Bronya against his chest.
"Wah ah ah ah!"
Suddenly freed from Seele's hands, Hook blinked, her wide eyes instantly locking onto a scene that would be forever burned into her young memory.
"Big Sister Seele... Big Sister Bronya... Big Sister Natasha... Big Sister Silver Wolf... Big Sister Lynx... Big Sister Pela..." The little boss of the Moles stammered, completely overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the affection on display. "Everyone is... so... so amazing..."
After a final round of sincere, deeply intimate farewells, Ren activated the transfer, safely sending the Belobog group back to their home world.
"They've finally left."
As the portal closed and Ren turned around, a mature, alluring figure materialized beside him. Cocolia stepped into his personal space, the faint, elegant scent of her perfume wrapping around him.
"Yeah," Ren replied, wrapping an arm around her slender waist. "They're going to be incredibly busy once they get back to Belobog."
"At least it's a thriving, positive kind of busy," Cocolia murmured, gently resting her head against his shoulder. "I think Bronya and the others will be more than happy to pour their energy into rebuilding."
Over the past few days, Cocolia had spent hours catching up with her adopted daughter. Hearing that Belobog was steadily marching toward a brighter future brought her immense relief.
Yet, what left her feeling a complicated mix of maternal pride and utter helplessness was the obvious fact that Bronya had truly, thoroughly matured into a woman during this short visit.
She tilted her head, her deep, piercing gaze locking onto the man beside her. "Ren... don't you think you were a little too intense with Bronya right from the start? She could barely walk this morning."
Ren pinched his chin, a shamelessly amused smirk playing on his lips. "Well, Bronya is the supreme Great Guardian that you personally nurtured. I figured she should have inherited at least half of your incredible stamina and charm, right?"
Cocolia was left entirely speechless.
A flush crept up her elegant neck as her mind involuntarily flashed back to the wild, unrestrained night she had first given herself to him. That had been the first time in her life she truly understood what it meant to be pushed to the absolute brink of pleasure, feeling as though she were floating away into blissful oblivion.
Compared to the relentless storm she had weathered as the former Great Guardian, the impact Bronya had endured was, admittedly, quite merciful.
"Speaking of which, Cocolia, there is one thing I deeply regret about this visit," Ren continued, his tone turning thick with meaning. "Next time, you're going to have to try a little harder."
He leaned in, his breath brushing against her ear. "I need to properly compare the 'depths' of you two Belobog Great Guardians side-by-side... you know, for scientific purposes."
Cocolia's expression instantly turned incredibly strange, a mix of shock and scandalous temptation warring in her eyes. After a long moment of heavy silence, she bit her lower lip and gave a slow, defeated nod.
"Mm... next time, I'll persuade Bronya to join us," she whispered softly, leaning her weight fully against him. "After all, both she and I already belong to you."
Ren's smile widened into a thoroughly satisfied grin.
[Chat Group]
[March 7th]: "Hasn't anything big happened recently? The group has been so quiet lately."
[Shinobu Kocho]: "Isn't a rare moment of peace a good thing, March?"
[Tingyun]: "Indeed. An occasional period of leisure truly highlights the preciousness of a peaceful life."
[Ch'en]: "I actually hope Lungmen can remain peaceful forever. I don't think anyone genuinely enjoys constant chaos and fighting everywhere they look."
[Nana]: "Wrong. There are definitely people who live for the fight. Naming names: Esdeath. Whenever she gets bored, she constantly tags people in the group to challenge them to deathmatches. She's a total battle maniac."
[Esdeath]: "To be born for battle is my destiny. It is also one of my very few hobbies. Is there a problem with that?"
[Tendou Kisara]: "Hey, hey, hey! You're the supreme queen of a vast planetary empire now! Being a bloodthirsty battle maniac isn't exactly a great personality trait for a ruler!"
[Shiroyasha]: "Heh, there's no point in trying to persuade someone whose very soul is forged for war. Let her be."
[Aqua]: "Wait, didn't something massive happen in Kurumi's world just a little while ago? It was a literal Doomsday Companion event!"
[Tatsumaki]: "...Doomsday Companion... Are you referring to that 'terrifying' enemy that got instantly obliterated the absolute second it showed up? And then immediately after, a whole group of women started doing very... very shameless things with Ren?"
[Aqua]: "Cough... Well, yes, although that is the exact truth of what happened, it still technically counts as a Doomsday Companion crisis!"
[Aqua]: "@Tokisaki Kurumi @Ren, why have the two of you—the main parties involved—been so suspiciously quiet since that event ended?"
[Tokisaki Kurumi]: "Oh my, oh my. The world has returned to absolute peace, and both Spirits and humans can now look forward to a beautiful future together. Isn't this the best possible ending? There doesn't seem to be much left to discuss."
[Tokisaki Kurumi]: "Although... if I absolutely had to say something, it would only be a minor complaint. A certain incredibly formidable bad guy came in, played with everyone's hearts, left himself on the minds of dozens of girls, and hasn't even bothered to come back and 'care' for everyone since."
[Ren]: "Emmm... In my defense, I've been a little busy entertaining Bronya and her friends for the past few days."
[Kiana]: "Bronya?"
[Bronya]: "Yes. A few days ago, I brought my friends from Belobog to travel to Ren's world for a vacation. Ren has been incredibly busy taking care of us, which is why he hasn't had the time to go see you, Kurumi. I'm very sorry!"
[Tokisaki Kurumi]: "Hmph. I suppose that is an unavoidable excuse."
[Tokisaki Kurumi]: "However, I am suddenly very curious. Bronya, were all the people who traveled with you... girls?"
[Bronya]: "Yes, Seele and the rest of our group are all girls. Is there a problem with that?"
[Silver Wolf]: "Oh ho!"
[Shokuhou Misaki]: "Suspicious elements detected."
[Misaka Mikoto]: "Tsk. Typical."
[Erza]: "I think I probably know exactly what Kurumi is implying."
[Shiroyasha]: "Hahaha! Ren, you absolute scumbag! Confess your crimes immediately! The grand judgment begins now!"
[Ren]: "..."
[Ren]: "Hey, you guys are taking this way too far. I was just being a good host and carefully taking care of Bronya and her friends. That's all."
[Stelle]: "By 'taking care of them,' are you referring to taking care of them in bed?"
[Emilia]: "Eh?! S-So intense?!"
[Emma]: "Cough cough!!!"
[Bronya]: "!!!"
