Chapter 53: Rinne's Decision

"Can Rio see papa again?"

A little girl asked innocently.

Magically, her little wish came true. However, it caused her papa and everyone she loved to suffer from the vicious villainess known as Ren.

"My wish…is to become your master!"

An older girl with 90% resemblance to the little girl from earlier spoke.

Wondrously, her big wish came true. However, it failed to turn Ren into a new leaf and eventually led to her escape from servitude.

And now….

"—Make your third wish, Rinne Sonogami."

Hearing this, both Rinne and Mayuri were astonished.

Ren went through the trouble of kidnapping Shido, torturing him, and poisoning him, only for the sake of creating an excuse for Rinne to make her final wish that she had delayed for one whole year. It seemed that she really wanted her to do it.

However, if she really did it, it would be the end for her and her daughter.

Rinne was silent, struggling internally for such a difficult decision.

"If you are having trouble deciding, how about I make a suggestion?" Ren smiled in a friendly way. "For instance, you can make me fall in love with Shido Itsuka, then he shall be able to seal me and remove all the curses I laid upon him."

Yeah, right…. Rinne thought.

"Don't listen to her, Rinne. She's up to no good!" Mayuri shouted.

To her relief, she saw her sister smiling and nodding. It seemed that she knew the consequences of trusting the villainess.

"Well, the longer you stall, the more Shido Itsuka suffers."

Ren didn't seem to faze, continuing her offer.

Rinne was silent for a while, but suddenly, she raised her hand.

"[Eden]!"

Within one moment, the three of them were engulfed by the flushing pink arena, trapping them into a mysterious dimension.

—At the same time—

"Shido!"

Maria shouted agitatedly.

Shido was grasping his heart in pain, and his body was crimson red, steaming emitting from every pore of his skin. He was at his limit, and was in urgent need to calm it down. However, only fucking a girl would achieve that.

Currently, there were only two girls available: Miku, asleep and needed a good rest; Maria, a virgin and needed to continue her analysis of Shido's blood. He didn't want to have sex with either of them, after all, Miku was asleep, so fucking her while she was unconscious was basically rape. As for Maria, she was still a virgin, and he didn't want to force her to offer her virginity to him under such pressure.

Seeing Shido in such a dire situation, she knew that stalling wouldn't do him any good. So, she decided to….

Suddenly, Shido's painful expression ceased, and he closed his eyes in ease as pink lights enveloped his entire body. In a short notice, his genitals calmed down and his body colors turned back to normal.

"This is…"

Maria was fazed for a second, then she realized that it was Rinne's powers at work!

—Flashback—

"Where…am I?"

Floating in a void dimension, a girl with pink hair opened her light brown eyes. She had a soft expression on her pretty face, and the way she looked around her surroundings was in such an adorable way that could make any guy awaken the urge to protect her.

"Good morning, Rinne."

To her surprise, a female voice sounded behind her.

Turning her head, she saw a giant woman with light blue skin, her long velvet hair flowing in the air. The cyan-blue color was emitting around her entire figure, so her face couldn't be identified clearly.

"Mother…?"

Rinne asked in disbelief.

"Yes, my daughter."

The woman, also known as Mio Takamiya, replied.

"Are you….alive?"

Rinne asked again.

"Not exactly, but I can transmit my thoughts to you." Mio spoke lightly, before holding out her hand. "But you, on the other hand, are alive."

Rinne was shocked to hear this surprising news, and the more surprising thing was…

"Mama!"

A little girl with plum hair hugged Rinne from the side! She had a face that was at least 90% similar to hers.

"Rio!?"

Rinne hugged her daughter in tears of joy, not willing to let go any time soon.

"It would be tragic to separate you and Rio apart."

Mio smiled, then raised her hand again. This time, a black orb emerged, and in a short notice, it transformed into a girl with long black hair and very white skin to the point of looking pale. As she opened her eyes, her bright yellow pupils were revealed.

"Marina-san!"

"Rinne! Rio!"

Marina Arusu, an Artificial Spirit developed by the D.E.M., had turned into a new leaf thanks to Shido and Maria, but tragically, she died at the end of "Arusu Install". It had always been a shame that she never got a taste of a real family until the very last moment of her short life.

But now, she was resurrected thanks to Mio's powers.

Rio hugged Marina happily, and the older girl caressed her head with deep affection in her eyes.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any powers left for the time being." Mio said sadly, summoning a golden orb in the palm of her hand. "But I do have this."

"This is…" Rinne took the object from her mother, and seemed to recognize it. "Mayuri's angel!?"

"Indeed, please find a method to resurrect her. I'm sure…." Mio closed her eyes, cyan-blue lights emitting from her body. "...Shido will be very happy…"

"Wait, where are you going mother? Don't go!" Rinne shouted, her tone trembling. "Don't leave me again, please!"

"I'm sorry, I'm a really bad mother, but I can't be with you…" Mio smiled with tears flowing down her cheeks, the light around her body growing stronger. "I committed way too many horrendous crimes, and I must make amends."

"I'm sorry, I will have to leave you to do the dirty work of reviving Mayuri."

"Not just her, but also Tohka, Tenka….and Ren."

With that, Mio Takamiya dissolved into an array of particles and evaporated from the air.

"Mother!"

"Granny!"

The remaining three girls could do nothing but shout vaguely.

Rinne cried on her knees, sobbing violently as she covered her cheeks. Rio and Marina hugging her from the sides, consoling their loved one.

"I will do it…" She dried her tears, a look of determination in her eyes. "...make no mistake about that!"

"But…"

She suddenly scratched her head.

"Who's Ren?"

—Back to the present—

"What a wondrous place."

Ren exclaimed as the dimension grew larger around her.

"I didn't want to do this last time, but you leave me no choice."

Rinne said coldly, maintaining a poker face under her solemnly Astral Dress.

The ground started trembling, fragile sandrocks couldn't withstand such force that they cracked open. But they were soon healed by the pink envelope of reiryoku emitted by Rinne, and were renewed neatly.

"Hahaha, come defy your destiny!"

Ren laughed mockingly as she opened her arms.

"[Eden] —"

Rinne shouted, energy accumulating into the arena around her.

"—Rule Bending: None shall leave this arena!"

With her clear order, the arena started condensing into a solid giant sphere that trapped the three girls inside.

"How cautious of you to make sure that I won't escape~"

Ren sneered, folding her arms.

Saying no words, Rinne summoned countless pink energy orbs and fired them at Ren.

To her surprise, they all landed on her, exploding on her body and knocking her backwards. She grunted as she was coughing up blood, struggling to maintain her balance.

"Is that all you got?"

She wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth, taunting actively.

"[Kerubiel]—"

Mayuri yelled, the angel on top of her started charging and accumulating fierce lightning at the tip.

"—Lighting Strike!"

With a loud explosion, the heavy attack landed on Ren, sending her flying at the speed of light until her body rammed the border of the sphere of [Eden].

It tore off parts of her Astral Dress, and more wounds appeared on her body.

Feeling a bit concerned, Rinne and Mayuri looked at each other, wondering if they should keep going.

"Not too bad, but ain't good either!"

Even so, she raised her head and taunted the two girls again.

Sighing silently, Rinne raised her hand…
