Ren & Rena: World Heroes Legend

Chapter 50 Task of Keeping - 2

Ren here.

Life always ends with death, the fact that makes me always think that man was created to die. Some characters have been killed by the author of this story, so do not expect that your favorite character will always live. It just so happens that I heard a malicious plan coming out of the author's head of this story, please be careful.

❇❇❇

"So, why did this unknown creature come here?"

Rena asked her servant while pointing at me impolitely.

"Hey come on, I'm not an ALIEN."

"Jin the gutter better be quiet."

"Sorry, can you repeat, Miss Moss Hair?"

"Ah, so you two are familiar huh-"

" "Imust be!" "

We interrupted the servant's remark, but—

" "Don't imitate me!" "

What's wrong with this girl?

Seriously, if it's a coincidence that's okay but .. This is the second time!

The atmosphere in the room began to feel a little cold and very piercing. Although the temperature here is still normal, believe me. This girl makes it very cold. I don't even know what else to say.

Considering this was a request for help from her father, I had to be patient because Dari-tan was very serious earlier.

❇❇❇

Back again the moment before Ren and Darius' mother went to their business.

"Please be Rena's guardian when I'm away for a minute!"

Dari-tan bowed towards me and from the look on her face, the seriousness was not playing to the point of scaring me.

What's wrong with this guy?

Although I often forget about him, it seems that there is no way that someone like Darii-tan would ask for help until this. Even in my opinion, this is already excessive and out of how the character of Darii-tan is portrayed. It's like .. characters that have bugs.

I sighed softly and said, "So, what should I do?"

"Whatever! Asal Ren has always been near Rena and looking after her is more than enough!"

"B-good— then what about the other one?"

"Hm?"

Hearing my question, Darii-tan raised her head in confusion.

"I mean, Sophie."

Yes, my lovely angel, Sophie!

It must be there, obligatory! Not to be missed! Golden opportunities are rare!

"Ah, she's going out with her mother."

Unfortunately, that answer was not what I wanted to hear. Just so you know, keeping one lioness is a very annoying thing. So, I also need something that can be comforting and as a conditioning.

But, the conditioning of my heart is no longer there.

With a heavy heart I agreed to Darii-tan's request.

"All right, just looking after, right?"

"Yes, if he's having trouble please help as well."

"Understand."

After that, they left and went using Darii-tan's private car.

In this way, "Road to the Hell" will happen to my life.

❇❇❇

Back to the present.

"I came here at your father's request, is that clear?"

In that sentence, I explained everything briefly. Without being accompanied by information and including the subject of his father, it does not seem very clear that I am here also forced. If he still doesn't understand, I think it's fine to scold this kid.

"Well, wait a minute."

Rena took her phone and started calling someone. After a few rings, there was the sound of a man raising his call. As expected, he called Darii-tan.

"Why him?

Eh?

Do you want us to be together all day?!"

"Huh?! W-wait dul-"

I immediately reacted with what Rena said, but she immediately interrupted.

"Shut up! I'm talking."

"Y-yeah."

It's hideous! I could only bow in fear because of his piercing glare.

❇❇❇

"Haaah .. Now, what are we going to do?"

Rena was very lethargic after confirming everything to Darii-tan, she was drowned in the chair opposite me.

"W-how about we discuss about the topic in the exculus?"

" ... "

"A-there's something wrong?"

"N-no, there's no. I'm surprised that our chief could discuss this with me outside of my ex-excul activity."

"Y-yeah .. to be honest, I was a little curious as to how you could get into being a member without our knowledge."

"After almost two weeks you've been asking me this? Truly incompetent chairman."

"Yayaya, thank you for the compliment."

As usual, that indiscriminate tongue was always criticizing and slapping my face at the point of getting hurt.

But, he has a point too because for two weeks which means a week for the beginning and another time when the official lesson starts I don't have a chance to think about this trivial thing.

There is only this opportunity if I want to find out in more detail the reason, but this is about whether or not Rena is in front of me.

Although no one is suspicious of Rena, it does not mean that we accept her completely without thinking about the consequences in the future.

Same with Sophie, he was already accepted but, still can not be ascertained whether he is really a person who purely wants to join and keep a secret some facts about the exkul and members including his mentor? Speculations started coming, but I didn't have time to think about all that and this is what happened, other than Lee and Claudi, he said, I suspect everyone without exception even though he is a classmate or an exkul with me.

It's not that I'm too paranoid or some other kind of psychological symptom, it's just that it's a habit that never goes away.

Going back to the topic, I had to give a little boost to this girl who was in front of me. He could have been a thorn in goat meat if not followed up properly. Even more than that, he could be the biggest obstacle in our next activity.

I tried to persuade him by slightly changing the way he spoke.

"Can you explain?"

"Why should I tell you?"

As expected, it was only natural that he was suspicious since I did not explain the reason directly to him but in my opinion, it was, after everything we've been through, he should understand how much responsibility our members and our coaches carry.

I sum up everything with one sentence—

"Because I'm the chairman."

— he will not be able to argue or turn to other topics of conversation.

I looked at Rena seriously while watching the whole mimicry from her face to her hands as far as my eyes could see.

Hearing my reasoning, Rena sighed and began to explain the reason she could join in and a quite serious expression was very visible from her face.

"Didn't I explain from the beginning why I could join your organization or your society? Maybe you've forgotten it but, I explained everything I knew once again.

I was transferred to school on condition that I should join your organization and your society but don't get me wrong, I mean, I did want to join your ex because there's a deeper reason than to follow the school transfer requirements of someone I don't know-"

Before Rena finished her explanation, I immediately interjected because there was a fact that sounded quite strange.

"Don't you know? What'sthat?"

"From the beginning, I only knew the details of the move without knowing where and with whom I had to deal for the doumen up to the agreement between the student and the school.

It was all set up until it was agreed by my mother and I to date, just following the flow without knowing what she was planning."

"Hmm .. So, your mother's still alive?"

"T-of course! You don't know that the owner of this house isn't my real father?!"

Rena's face was quite upset that our subject matter was beginning to cover a private space that should not have been touched.

I can understand this but, especially now there is nothing to ignore in his sentence.

I'm sorry, I'm not the one who wants to know the privacy of other individuals, it's just a valuable opportunity and I shouldn't waste no matter how little information I can get.

First of all I will apologize to him for entering the private realm of a girl.

"I'm sorry that our conversation reached your privacy room but, can we continue?"

"Please, but I'm warning you this time, don't expect too much from the information I'm telling you."

"Why? You want to tell me that there's a lie in your sentence?"

"Unfortunately it's worse than that."

"Hm?"

"I don't know anything."

"You're kidding me?"

"I-i'm serious! My mother never taught me to lie, so there's no point in trying to lie and throw away all my mother's teachings."

After ending her sentence, Rena looked a little moody.

".... And that trait is my only legacy."

"I'm sorry for making you say things you don't want to."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"Regular?"

"There's so much you don't know about me, the past to the background of the girl sitting opposite you.

I used to be alone and Mother never paid any attention to me, nor did she just teach me how to be a normal human being while following her principle of absolute justice."

"Gruesome."

"I agree enough with what you said just now but, I'm a little bit off because you've been mocking my mom."

"Y-yeah .... "

With a smile with a face that is quite problematic, Rena leaned her head on the palm of her hand and looked like a migrant.

Trying to take back a sentence that has come out of the mouth certainly can not be done, but there are still other ways to relieve a little pain because of the sharpness of the sentence that comes out.

Be a good listener, but neither in speaking nor in responding to what is being heard, so I am.

Being honest and directly expressing opinions may be a complicated problem if sharp words come out of the mouth, but it would be nice to be left to walk because sooner or later, sooner or later, one day the word will come out of someone else's mouth.

Basically, from what I heard and understood it was clear that Rena's mother had a relationship with some past cases.

There was no way Rena could just walk in without any support factor and before that, even more strangely she had no idea how the transfer process had proceeded to date.

Only blurry details such as the name of the school and various purposes are prepared, well.

However, parents who know the portion of the organization and our exkul— mother Rena— make the school parties submit some requirements and in the end-

"Who's your mother's name?!"

"I said, what's your mother's name?!"

"I-I don't know."

"How can you not know??? Are you really his son?!"

"That's so rude, he never told me his name and since I was a child I always called my mother like now."

Although under enough pressure to make her very surprised, Rena still tried to answer my question.

My expression was beginning to disappoint.

"Pretty unfortunate."

"Why?"

Rena squinted her eyes.

"Your mother is one of the clues to what's been going on lately."

"Wait a minute, you mean my mother was the perpetrator of all these crimes?!"

"Not so, your conclusion is almost close to the right point."

If from my point of view, your mother is a person who has a close relationship with someone who has more power than the school side."

"Is that so?"

"Yes that's the way it is, the worst after all is she could have been-"

"Stop, I get it."

Rena interrupted me immediately.

He started to think about some things in silence, as well as me.

From the beginning, Rena did not know that I knew the party who had the highest position in school.

So, I always disguised him and was careful in choosing the word so that the conclusions he had were not headed in the direction of Claudi.

If he could guess the path that led to Claudi, it would most likely be proof that Rena was the other suspicious party.

Either in some aspects, she did look like a normal girl like most. However, all that could be broken after I knew the relationship of his mother and what actions he would take later. It is only a matter of time until everything will be revealed by itself until the whole world knows, there are some terrible secrets on this island.

The cold atmosphere began to spread throughout the room, if this continued maybe the servants would find it difficult.

I cleared my throat once and reverted back to our topic of conversation.

"How about we go back to the original topic?"

"Huh?"

Still in a state of confusion, it seems like Rena did not catch the intent of my words just now.

"I mean, we're back on a topic related to exculpatory activity."

"A-ah, yeah whatever."

He immediately agreed.

First step, I need to find a topic first.

However, before I could speak, Rena had already started to discuss an unusual topic first.

"How about we talk about Enkidu?"

"Hmmm ... Why are you interested in him?"

"Are you jealous?"

"Seriously, let alone jealousy, liking anything of yourself is absolutely impossible for me!"

"Gtt!!!"

Rena laughs little to shed tears, as long as she is happy yes.

Back to the initial topic.

"So, why are you interested in the topic?"

"It's hard to explain but, let's just say I'm testing your knowledge."

"What's the prize if I graduate?"

"certain."

"Don't!"

"Hm?"

Rena became confused due to my exaggerated reaction.

Inside my head came a few questions.

Does he have a limited edition album CD from Uesaka Sumire?

N-didn't he also live in the same place as Darii-tan? Must he know about my favorite? Kann??!!!

No way!

Something must be wrong!

Yeah, there's no way he knows that I really want the CD.

Whatever it is, I've already made up my mind to pass the test that's in sight.

"So, what's the test?"

"Explain everything you know about Enkidu."

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's all. Is it really that hard for you?"

"N-no, it's not what you think, I thought you'd give me a hard test."

"Is this less difficult?"

"If you ask like that, to be honest it's pretty hard."

"Well, I'm glad you understand."

"It doesn't mean I understand what you want but, this topic is quite broad if you don't provide a benchmark or a limit that minimizes the scope of the discussion."

"Then, just tell me what you know. At least, think before you talk."

Rena smiled warmly as she sipped the tea that was on the table.

That girl, she really underestimated me!

Seriously! Why is this always the case when you are discussing with him?! What mistake have I made until he continues to bully me mentally?!!

Let's think for a second.

He asked me to explain about Enkidu not only until there, just now the girl gave a limit that seemed to underestimate my knowledge.

But, he also gave me a little lightening.

If he wants to destroy me, the topic he will ask for must be more detailed including the time, place and names of important figures related.

Enkidu, exactly an artificial man. From gender to age unknown, there is only the fact that he was created to kill Gilgamesh who is still known as "The King of pride and ambition" by some people as well as gods. In fighting ability, he is good at using spear and submissive weapons when taught various combat tactics by Gilgamesh.

History records that there was one fatal mistake that occurred between the two of them, the mistake was about the closeness between the two people.

The details, if I take from the book in the room, their relationship almost crossed the border of friendship.

Didn't I tell you from the beginning, they complement each other?

Shit, silly and pretty annoying.

What's with this feeling?

Why am I so upset?

Doesn't their relationship have nothing to do with the present?

If it were related, there might be some writing in the book that would lead me to a new path in the search all along.

Despite rejecting him several times, the feeling still bothered me.

Free to think about it now, I better answer Rena's test first.

I called Rena to answer her request.

"Rena."

"Hm?"

"I've been thinking about the answer but, aren't you going to mind my words?"

"What do you mean?"

Instead of giving her consent, she asked back as if she had still not reached the point of my words.

I sighed once and continued our conversation.

"This sentence is quite short, but it contains many meanings that might make you angry if I say it."

"Despite such an answer, you still want to tell me?"

"Yes, of course. Otherwise, it's possible that Enkidu will protest against me."

"Fuhoo! Y-yes, please."

Rena chuckled because of my joke.

Actually, it's not a joke.

I went on to the important answer.

"Enkidu is the man who Gilgamesh su- .... "

"Su?"

Rena tilted her head slightly while waiting for an answer.

Damnit damnit! Why is it so hard to say?! What happened to my mouth today?!

Despite stammering a few times, I still continued the word earlier.

".... Su-su-likes."

" .... "

Hearing the last word, Rena just kept quiet.

Rena's face turned red and her eyes started to blink while looking over here and there.

After a while, he— Rena— finally recovered from the shock of my answer.

Rena stood up and hurriedly pulled my arm.

"Follow me."

"T-wait-!"

Rena did not listen to me at all and continued what she was doing.

We walked towards a room on the second floor of Darii-tan's house.

There is a possibility of this—

Rena opened the door of the room and inside there are various kinds of items that should be in the room belonging to a girl—

Rena Room.

That is the conclusion of the game of guessing while being carried by a lioness to her nest.
