ALL NOVEL Chapter 71: System notice
Yamato was feeling a bit sad today.
She was in her house currently. She stayed all by herself in the rather spacious house. And it was… lonely.
She was wondering about many things, her mind swirling with various thoughts.
'I want to meet him again…' Right now, she was eating rice and fried fish from a bowl and plate. She was having rather regular food instead of the various new invented food that was going around. She usually ate that instead.
She was indeed a very avid fan of eating food, a foodie, but today she wanted the simple things.
She grabbed a cup of water and drank from it as her thoughts turned in a direction about Ren.
Though she didn't know that her fun with Ren had been interrupted by Plutia the last time, she felt something was off.
But she ignored it so far.
Right now, since she was just at home casually spending the day, she felt a bit depressed.
Her life was very monotone…
'Why do I have to always think just about that bastard father of mine, or instead be depressed with nothing to do?' She had a bone to pick with her father, a very big bone.
And she made it her life's purpose to fix 'Him'…
So, when she wasn't training hard to get stronger and drill some sense into her father the only way she knows can work, by beating him! Anyway, when she wasn't doing that, she was just either entering the gates or talking with her friends. Which weren't really a lot now that she thought about it.
Anyway today, she didn't feel like doing anything of those. And the girls were busy anyway.
'Speaking of the girls… Robin has been a bit different these days, there is just a certain glow around her… Did she perhaps have sex with Ren too?' She briefly thought about the dark-headed beauty.
While she knew the two had some fun together, she wasn't aware that they had sex or not, but the way Robin was looking, she would rather say they did.
She sighed and continued eating, grabbing a fish and peeling it with her chopsticks.
She didn't really mind the thought. It was not like she and Ren were lovers or something. She liked him true, but for now, it was more like a sex friend that was very close she could call and rely on for when she was a bit… Horny. She didn't do so for anyone though, and the only exception was Ren who messes up with her body's reaction and instinct.
So, here she was at home, thinking of why her life was like that. Boring and difficult.
Monotone…
She shook her head from such depressing thoughts.
She grasped her chopsticks a bit tighter and started eating her humongous bowl of rice heatedly and furiously as if imagining all the subjects she was thinking about as an opponent on top of the rice.
Thinking of Ren…
'Oh, I can send him a message, right?' She did want to hang out or something, but not necessarily this day, and could make an appointment for tomorrow.
At any rate, the situation of the gates was a bit weird these days, and added to the last gate she went to with Ren, she was given a few days off.
She wasn't really in an optimal state to meet him for now and would rather meet him later.
Even though she was very eager to meet him and repeat what they had done before.
'Having sex with him would definitely brighten my day… sigh, just by being held by those strong arms is such a comfort,' She briefly considered it.
But in the end, she just shook her head.
Her mood was definitely bad and it was best to leave things until later.
And that was due to her… dad.
'Bastard,'
She had just seen some of his lackies the last day harassing some heroes like some third-rate evil criminals and she kicked the shit out of them one by one, and in the end, had to knock them unconscious.
It wasn't anything new.
But it just confirmed for her that her dad was still in his own ways as before. So, her goal didn't need to change.
'Sigh, let's forget about that… I'll just set a date with Ren,'
And just the thought of texting Ren made her eyes brighten.
She set the bowl aside and went to grab her phone which she doesn't use a lot usually.
That some act of setting the food aside was something any of her friends would testify that she was unable to do for anything. Yet her she was doing it…
Forget getting stronger using Ren, she didn't care about that.
Ren added a new color to her black and white-colored life. He was something new she could get excited for.
That was all that was important for her.
She opened the chat of Ren and started typing a message.
A very happy smile hung on her lips.
**********
Ren was browsing some messages that were left for him by his girls.
Whether it was Isaki who inquired when he can come home or Robin who although they had just met was already back to asking about him on phone.
Even Sakura asked about how he was doing and even hinted at wanting to have another fun night together.
Then he read a text that was left by Yamato. This was the one he paid more attention to.
He smiled as he saw it.
'So cute…' He admired and imagined how she would look as she wrote that text.
She basically asked him if he wanted to hang out. But the way she did it was cute.
She said that she can take him to taste many great foods around this city, as she was a self-prescribed expert in this domain. And he could imagine her doing a pose as she stood there and proclaimed that she was the best.
Also, she said the pay would be on him, as he wouldn't have enough due to only recently becoming strong enough to rack money.
He sent her a reply text that he can meet her tomorrow.
He was free for the day and didn't really have any schedule.
And he did think before that he should reward her later for the happenings of the last time. That was why he paid more attention to her than the others.
'Let's take her to eat out tomorrow, I should first search for great places to eat though,' He thought to himself.
He then stroked the hair of Iris Heart that was now laying on his chest.
The two had had fun all the while, and now she was tired and had slept on top of him after the two had a few rounds in the shower.
He smiled in happiness.
Iris Heart was just amazing.
Briefly, he wondered what was going on with the chatroom and then he came upon a notice inside the system.
[The system has fully adjusted to the gate outbreak situation. No new gate that can threaten the world whether minutely or largely would be left alone and would be notified about.
From now on, missions would be issued to all members in relation to gates.
Any irregular gate that can't be stopped by regular heroes in time would be issued a mission for. And the members can take part in that mission and get rewarded points.]
He was a bit surprised.
Was it now able to detect any gate whose consequences were dire?
It was a good feature, and also a good way for the members to earn points.
It was very apparent that these gates were trouble. They had some weird energy, and that energy was problematic and Ren felt the owner who created it should be very dangerous and a must-avoid person for anyone.
He doubted in his mind that even someone like whitebeard and Tatsumaki can stand against them. Perhaps even Plutia.
He looked at her gently in his arms.
Before he decided to check what was has been going on in the group chat.
[-Whitebeard: Plutia, Nico Robin told us you helped them close the gate… was that weird energy really that dangerous?
He of course knew that it was dangerous enough to cause ass panic if it was known by the public, but what he was asking about was if it felt dangerous even for her, then most likely the energy belonged to a much scarier existence.
Ren saw the subject was still about that gate. As expected of heroes.
He duped the problem on them, and they were tackling it nicely.
He was about to reply to add his two cents to change the subject, and also to avoid the subject since Plutia couldn't respond right now.
But she had woken up and replied.
-Plutia:…Run…
-Plutia: If you face that energy run…. It is very dangerous and if it was allowed to change the monster any longer, it would be even hard for me to stop it.
-Plutia: Old man don't get arrogant and prideful, this is a serious matter, and I wouldn't risk myself to save any one of you, thus, Run!
At this moment when she was casually resting on his chest, Plutia had a rare serious mindset as she warned.
And though she said she won't risk herself, she was just saying it to make the threat become more serious in the mind of the others.
They knew her and her soft heroic personality, so what she said about not saving them, they all knew she wasn't serious about it. She was renowned as a good hero.
Seeing the subject turn so serious, Ren who had Plutia on his chest pretending to be sleeping ignored that and focused on her words.
'It seems the situation is more problematic than I thought He concluded.
-Whitebeard: If even you are saying that, this old man would agree
He understood her warning words. Don't get entangled with that energy. Whatever would come of it would be very dangerous…
The rest of the members then started chatting inside the chatroom adding their own two words and opinions, but in the end, all agreed with Plutia.
Ren came on the chat too and answered a few questions that he was tagged in, and then he even sent a screenshot of the notice of the system.
It seemed that missions were soon going to be sent for the heroes, and they were vastly excited, especially after seeing the rewards.
Ren chuckled at their enthusiasm and then got out of the chatroom.
He slapped Plutia's butt sexily and said.
"If you are awake, why didn't you tell me so we can start our 101st round, huh?"
He smirked and whispered near her ears, which made them redden even as she was faking herself being asleep.
