Chapter 210: Police Arrival

"Ren-Ren..."

That nickname was somewhat girlish, and felt like calling a child.

Sonoko Suzuki noticed the gloom on Ren Amamiya's surface.

She grinned and immediately insisted.

"That's the nickname then."

"Ren-Ren, hmm~ It's a cute nickname."

"..."

The word 'cute' was what Ren Amamiya least wanted to hear right now, especially when applied to his own name.

"You won't get angry, right?"

With a touch of playfulness and worry, Sonoko Suzuki leaned over with a smile.

That cute smile made it hard to refuse her request.

Ren Amamiya helplessly shook his head.

"I won't get angry."

"It's just that this nickname feels a bit too... cute."

Hearing this, the slight worry in Sonoko Suzuki's smile vanished completely, and her smile on her face grew even brighter.

"Being cute is good."

"Being a little cute doesn't show any trace of seriousness at all."

"It feels even closer."

Hearing it as 'even closer' also made people feel it was too cute.

But Ren Amamiya couldn't refuse.

It was just a nickname; there was no need to spoil a girl's fun over a nickname.

"It's just... a bit too cute." 310

"If you like it, just use it."

Getting a positive answer, the smile on Sonoko Suzuki's face grew even brighter.

"Hmm~ Since that's the case, from now on I'll call you Ren-Ren."

Seeing Sonoko's happy expression, Ren Amamiya said nothing else.

After laughing, Sonoko Suzuki looked at her friend Ran.

"Ran, do you want to use the nickname Ren-Ren too?"

"Me?"

Ran Mao Li, who had been watching Sonoko with slight envy on the side, pointed at herself helplessly and glanced at Ren Amamiya a bit shyly.

"The nickname Ren-Ren..."

"Oh my~ Isn't it quite cute?"

Sonoko Suzuki directly cut off Ran's words and came to her side.

"A usually taciturn boy being called Ren-Ren, doesn't that create a very cute contrast?"

"Right..."

Ran Mao Li, seeing Ren Amamiya's helpless expression, couldn't help but laugh too.

The nickname Ren-Ren was indeed quite cute.

Especially after getting to know Ren Amamiya as a person, one realized that the nickname Ren-Ren was actually quite suitable.

Sonoko Suzuki smiled at Ran, then nudged her with her elbow.

"Then there's no need to say more, right?"

Meeting her friend's encouraging gaze, Ran Mao Li finally understood a bit, her face flushed with some redness, and she called out that name in a low voice.

"Ren-Ren..."

"Hmm."

Suddenly having one more person call him Ren-Ren, Ren Amamiya didn't know what mood to face it with.

Accept it.

It was just a nickname.

"I'll take you back first."

"The purpose of going out has been achieved, and besides, the police seem to have already arrived."

His eyes had already confirmed that several ships had entered the port location, and a large number of plainclothes officers had already disembarked from the ships.

Among them was Juzo Megure.

The police side had already entered Moon Shadow Island; the sweep should begin very soon.

Realizing this, Ren Amamiya immediately grabbed both their hands and started walking quickly back.

"The police will quickly start confirming our location."

"A large number of police personnel should start sweeping the island's power center, with the hot spring inn where we are located as the center."

"We cannot determine if anyone on the island will resist."

"We need to get back quickly."

Understanding the situation, the two being pulled along immediately ran quickly in the direction of the inn with Ren Amamiya.

Port location.

Several police ships stopped at the port location; next was actually the follow-up registration work, but this process was halted.

"P-police?"

The port registration staff, seeing the several fierce-looking men before them all produce police identification cards, were left somewhat at a loss.

"Quiet."

"All work stops from now on; all registration staff are to gather together."

The sudden request gave the registration staff a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Why is this?"

As he asked this question, the two police officers opposite him had already placed their hands on their bulging waists.

"Don't move!"

The police immediately drew their guns and aimed them at the registration staff before them.

"Raise your hands, or you will be shot immediately!"

The registration staff's face changed; they quickly raised both hands high.

"Officer, I, I am not a criminal!"

"Shut up, stay quiet!"

The surrounding police exchanged signals, and all the Metropolitan Police Department officers began their operation.
