Chapter 523: The Deviated Spirit of Origin! A Tsundere Tornado!
"An Angel!" Nia was shocked by her own transformation; she seemed to have really become one, not just in the sense of her Angel's abilities, but in a concrete, physical way.
This scene made Shiroyasha look more closely at Ren. "Do you have the Spirit Rank of a god?" she asked, subconsciously using the Hakoniwa way of thinking. This transformation was not superficial; in her perception, Nia had completely transformed into a true angel.
"No, it's just an ability," Ren didn't explain much, but said, "You should feel the connection between us now. You can rest assured. We're leaving."
"Mm-hmm!" With a close connection to her hero, Nia's smile was radiant.
Ren, Shiroyasha, and Tatsumaki left as silently as they had arrived. After they left, Kurumi spoke. "Oh my, is Ren-kun leaving a troublesome matter for us to deal with?" She was referring to Ellen.
"Gone…" Murasame Reine, or rather, the Spirit of Origin, Mio Takamiya, murmured to herself. Her feeling couldn't be wrong. After a strange Spirit was born and then disappeared, a pair of unknown eyes had looked through her very being without any concealment. She had remained calm and offered no resistance, knowing it was futile. Fortunately, those eyes left in an instant. This world seemed to be becoming beyond her comprehension.
"The Spirit of Origin's goal isn't to revive Shinji?" Not only was the world beyond Mio's comprehension, but it was also beyond Ren's.
Before leaving, he had completely read everything in Kurumi's world and discovered a hint of abnormality. For example, Mio Takamiya's purpose was not to revive Shinji Takamiya, but a woman named Shiori Takamiya—who was now Itsuka Shidou.
[Inorin's Note: A significant plot deviation. In the original 'Date A Live', Shidou is the reincarnation of Shinji. Here, the original identity is changed to a female named Shiori.]
"This is truly a bizarre development." Behind these differences was either the new reality or the influence of the 7-star Uncertainty Doomsday. After reading the entire world, he still hadn't found the source. He believed Kurumi would encounter it sooner or later.
Upon returning to the palace, he had his own matters to resolve. For example, the roll call in the Chat Group.
[Kiana: Ren, Kurumi, Shiroyasha, Tatsumaki, where are your live streams?]
[Aqua: Yeah, it's been so long!]
[Shiroyasha: I don't know how to live stream. Don't blame me.] Actually, she had been too focused on studying Kurumi's world and Ren's abilities to remember. "The administrator is truly extraordinary," she thought, back in Thousand Eyes. From Ren, she saw a nature that transcended the universe. Her curiosity grew. What would happen if he came to Hakoniwa? She wouldn't invite him; if he wasn't bound by Hakoniwa's rules, he would be an unrestrained two-digit being, causing unimaginable chaos.
[Kiana: Okay, you're a newcomer, but what about Kurumi and Ren?]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: I was captivated by Ren-kun's heroic demeanor and forgot, oh my.]
[Kiana: Huh?]
[Ren: Don't mess around. If you forgot, you forgot.]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Oh my, this is clearly a compliment. Do you not like being praised, Ren-kun?]
[Exusiai: In summary, everyone forgot.]
[Kushina: Was the enemy strong?]
[Shiroyasha: Strong? You mean instantly killed by Ren? [Eating melon.JPG].]
[Shinobu Kocho: That's right. With Ren-kun's power, a 6 or 7-star doomsday shouldn't be difficult.]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: It's not that the enemy was weak, but that Ren-kun was too strong.]
[Tatsumaki: …]
Back at the Hero Association, Tatsumaki pursed her lips. She had just sought out an S-Class Hero for a fight and won with a crushing victory. Now that she thought about it, just as Kurumi said, it wasn't that she was weak, but that Ren was too powerful. After realizing this, she wasn't defeated; instead, she was filled with fighting spirit. "I must become stronger!" Her eyes sparkled; the 30 million points she gained represented her potential.
Speaking of which, I was able to obtain so many points thanks to him. And he also caught me... After some internal struggle, she opened his private chat.
[Tatsumaki: Th-Thank you.]
[Ren: Huh?]
[Tatsumaki: …]
[Tatsumaki: I MEAN! Thank you for helping me! And for the points! I will definitely return them! I, Tatsumaki, will absolutely not owe you a favor!]
[Ren: ...You're welcome. Keep up the good work.]
His expression was strange. Why did her thanks sound so tsundere?
