Chapter 186

"Ren Amamiya, is Sigong okay?"

Seeing Ren Amamiya holding the fainted Sigong, Sonoko Suzuki immediately leaned over.

"She's fine too."

"It's just that when the different dimension created by the Door-Door Fruit shattered, it erupted with astonishing impact, and the three of them in the different dimension were all knocked unconscious by the impact."

"There are no extra problems on their bodies."

Listening to the explanation, Sonoko Suzuki also relaxed a lot.

Looking down at Sigong in Ren Amamiya's arms, this woman's move was much faster than hers; she had actually taken a step ahead of her.

She admitted that this big ice block was much more suitable than before.

She didn't want this big ice block to have problems with such things.

"Sonoko, I'll leave Sigong to you."

"I still need to go and bring back Chika and Hayasaka who are fainted."

Ren Amamiya said as he approached Sonoko.

Sonoko Suzuki nodded slightly and carefully took Sigong from Ren Amamiya.

However, her strength wasn't very great, so she could only help Sigong sit on the ground slowly.

After handing Sigong to Sonoko, Ren Amamiya continued to set off to bring the others back.

Next were Ai Hayasaka and Chika Fujiwara.

Because both were fainted, he could only send them back one by one in separate trips.

However, when it was Nagi Sanzenin and Maria's turn, it was easy.

Both were awake and could act together, as long as they were a little careful.

Finally, it was Mao Li, who had been waiting in place the whole time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Mm-hmm, it wasn't very long."

Mao Li shook her head slightly; she really hadn't been waiting here for very long.

"How are Sigong and the others?"

"They just fainted."

Ren Amamiya's face was also full of relaxation.

"Hayasaka's spirit suffered some damage, but it's not a big problem."

"Chika just simply fainted."

"As for Sigong, besides fainting, her mental consumption is a bit large."

"I think she must have been releasing the power she could master to her heart's content in the different dimension, which caused the collapse because the different dimension couldn't withstand it."

After understanding the reason, Mao Li relaxed a bit; she had really thought just now that Sigong was jealous.

"Then, Ren Amamiya, does this count as you starting to date Sigong?"

"Mm... I guess it can't count."

Ren Amamiya thought about it and still gave a negative answer.

"Sigong confessed like that, and it still doesn't count?"

Mao Li's beautiful eyes opened wide.

"That confession was actually interrupted."

"I clearly understood Sigong's feelings for me; perhaps it's the same as the feelings Sonoko has for me."

"For me, perhaps I still need to respond to them more positively for it to count as officially dating."

Ren Amamiya still felt that some things needed to be made clear by himself.

"Eh~"

Mao Li had her hands behind her back, and the brilliance in her eyes was flickering.

"Then, if someone confesses to you in the future, you will still accept it, right?"

"Mao Li, the key is not whether I accept it, but whether anyone confesses to me."

Regarding the question of whether he would accept it, Ren Amamiya helplessly gave an explanation.

"Actually, I like all of you, but I also have a certain distance from all of you."

"That is the difference between liking in the past and now."

Ren Amamiya has filters for everyone.

He likes most of the heroines he had only seen through the screen in the past.

This is a normal thing, right? After all, who doesn't like a heroine who is cute and has a good personality?

However, Ren Amamiya, who has the opportunity to come into contact with them in this life, still carries some panic.

After all, it's easy to say "I love you, honey" online; who can't talk big? But how can you shout it out offline?

And those heroines are alive and well in front of you offline; that is really a cure for talking big.

Ren Amamiya also has the idea of becoming a protagonist in his heart, but the problem is that he has always been an ordinary person, not a protagonist.

Now, at most, he is just an ordinary person with a cheat.

Who would have thought that his relationship with these former heroines would become complicated, and that someone would actually like him? This kind of plot is something only dared to be thought of in dreams; how could such a good thing happen in reality?

"Sounds so awkward."

Mao Li could probably understand Ren Amamiya's thoughts.

"In short, Ren Amamiya will still accept it, right?"

"...Mm."

After hesitating for a moment, Ren Amamiya still didn't deny this.

"It's just that I find it hard to imagine such a situation actually happening."

"All of you girls are actually very excellent, needless to say in every aspect. However, you, who are so excellent, would like me; it just feels quite unreal."

"Just like Sigong and Sonoko."

"They are all girls with good backgrounds, good personalities, and good looks; in fact, they are objects of pursuit wherever they are."

"But why do they all like me?"

Ren Amamiya felt particularly puzzled.

"If you say Sigong and Sonoko like the power, I can actually accept it."

"But their performance doesn't look like that at all."

"It makes me unable to face it with a perfunctory attitude."

Just like Yoko Okino.

If she saw through his specialty and understood that he was more suitable to help her, Ren Amamiya could actually understand it a bit.

But Yoko Okino's performance was completely not like that.

The initial concern was like repaying a favor, but then the interaction became familiar, just like a relationship between friends.

But then that relationship seemed to have upgraded once again.

As for whether it is sincere, even if Ren Amamiya doesn't believe his own feelings, he will believe his divination results.

But it is precisely because he knows they seem to be sincere that he is even more confused, not knowing why they are sincere to him.

But there is one thing Ren Amamiya knows.

Because they are sincere, he should not be perfunctory when facing this sincerity.

"So that's it."

Mao Li, with her hands behind her back, raised the corners of her mouth slightly; she knew Ren Amamiya's true thoughts and understood why Ren Amamiya would struggle so much on this issue.

Besides being unnatural, the other thing is that he cannot believe it.

Well, if it were her, she couldn't believe it either.

However, it's good as long as it's not unacceptable.

"Ren Amamiya, I think you should still be serious; at least I think everyone should be serious."

"Mm, I can feel this."

"And Ren Amamiya, it was you who said before that we can pursue longevity and immortality. How are we supposed to accept others like this?"

"...Ah!"
