Fallen Chronicles



Renji was awakened by a loud banging on the door.

His eyes hadn't opened yet when he felt a warm body snuggled up against him. When his vision cleared, he saw a nun curled up beside him, wearing only a thin underwear on her upper body and leaving her lower half exposed, with only two white silky stockings.

"..."

Before Renji had time to react to the situation, the result of the kicking at the door was revealed. With a loud "bang," the poor security door, which had already been kicked in once, forcing Renji to make do with a temporary fix, was now kicked open for a second time. And judging by the battered look of the lock, it seemed to be completely wrecked.contemporary romance

The figure that appeared at the door was, unsurprisingly, Eileen.

The girl had a contract with Renji, which allowed her to sense his location within a certain range, as long as Renji did not actively block her.

Eileen had woken up to find it was already six or seven in the morning. In a rush, after understanding the situation from Brian, who had dark circles under his eyes from guarding her all night, the girl headed straight for Renji.

"Old Tim..."

Eileen burst in anxiously, but before she could finish calling out the name, the romantic and erotic scene in the room forced the girl to stop in her tracks.

Coincidentally, or perhaps unfortunately, possibly due to Eileen's disturbance, Maria, the nun in Renji's arms, had also awakened. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a compromising position, kneeling beside the young man with her legs spread in an M-shape. She was right in the line of sight of Eileen, who had just entered the room.

"..."

Well.

Just when Renji thought he might have to do some explaining again.

What Eileen did next took him completely by surprise.

After a brief moment of confusion, Eileen not only didn't unleash a barrage of questions as he had expected, but she also let out a long sigh, appearing much more relaxed.

"…?" Renji was now completely at a loss for words, even swallowing the words he had almost spoken.

Maria on the sofa seemed to finally wake up completely and realized that she had "somehow" fallen asleep in the young man's arms, and had been caught in the act by what seemed to be the lady of the house.

The nun hurriedly stood up from Renji's side and began to shake her head apologetically at Eileen.

"I'm sorry! It's not what it looks like. Last night, I took the initiative... Ah, no! What I mean is, I asked Mr. Renji to take me home. We didn't do anything last night... No, I mean we did do some... did some..."

Renji felt that if he let the panicked Maria keep talking, even if they were innocent, they would be painted as guilty.

He gestured to the nun with his hand, indicating to Maria that there was no need to be nervous, and that he would take care of it.

Renji: "Are you feeling alright?"

Maria: "Um, yes."

Renji went on to simply recap to the girl what had happened after Eileen had fallen asleep the previous night, including Maria's origins and the intelligence about Nolan that was divined from the nun's testimony.

Eileen didn't interject throughout the entire account, instead listening seriously and quietly by his side.

"So that's pretty much it. Maria probably fainted from exhaustion after the divination, and so we ended up taking shelter at your place for the night. As for why she woke up next to me..."

Renji glanced at the nun beside him, who looked as if she were about to cry from realizing her mistake.

Maria immediately started bowing and apologizing to the young man repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry! I truly am very sorry! The storm last night was so severe, and I... I'm afraid of thunder, so... so I unconsciously..."

However, Renji was clearly not satisfied with this explanation.

His main concern wasn't that Maria had come over to sleep with him, but that he had been completely unaware of it. This meant that if Maria had gotten up in the middle of the night to do something other than "snuggle" he would have been equally oblivious and unprepared.

'This is too strange'

Renji had the confidence to sleep under the same roof as a stranger like Maria because she was an Eclipse. Any slight disturbance or movement from her side should have instantly awakened him due to the contract's abilities. This was one of the inherent powers of the contract.

(HailTheLoli: to not make you confuse, the 'contract' ability will be noted in the future chapters)

'But why...'

'Why was there no reaction from the "contract" last night when Maria quietly approached me, even lying down together?'

'Is it simply because she did not bear "hostile intentions"?'

'Or could it be...'

Renji thoughtfully stared at Maria, who was apologizing, with a slight frown on his forehead.

"Alright, Old Timer, don't be hard on her!" At this point, it was Eileen who surprisingly stepped forward.lightsnovel

She saw Renji staring intently at the nun, so she stepped forward and protectively stood in front of the slightly trembling nun.

"You don't understand, those of us who have been without parents from a young age are naturally very scared of things like thunderstorms and strong winds. Whenever there's bad weather, I..."

"Hmph! I would also sneak into my mom's bed!, So what!"

Eileen, with her hands on her hips, either saw her own past self in the timid and weak nun or perhaps because Maria had helped her receive news of her mother, was now behaving like a protective mother tiger defending her little child.

To this, Renji was somewhat speechless, because according to the script, shouldn't Eileen have shown jealousy or at least some anger, especially at the beginning when she first came in. In her perspective, she had entrusted her most important person to him, her mother, Yet, here he was, holding a nun and even sleeping with her in her home.

It seemed as if Eileen had read Renji's mind, and she speak again.

Her explanation was simple, so simple that Renji couldn't argue against it. She said,

"Because I believe in someone who dares to compare himself to 'The Emperor' would be so capable. How could he easily break his promises? Anything he agrees to, he'll definitely fulfill!"

The girl said this with such pride, one would think she was speaking about herself.

"So when I saw you still sleeping soundly with a woman in your arms, I knew my mom must be safe, at least for now. Otherwise, with your personality, Old Timer, how could you possibly sleep at all!"

'Sheesh'

'Had her brain also upgraded after advancing to 'Danger Rank'? How did she suddenly become so smart? Could it be a switcheroo?'

To verify this, Renji decided to conduct a simple experiment: "So you're not jealous? Seeing me sleeping with another woman?"

"What!? What are you... saying? I'm not jealous! So what if you sleep with other women? you big-headed guy!. I'm not someone who will jump to f@uking imagination on my own! Besides, we're like 'brothers!' How many women you sleep with is none of my f@uking business!"

Watching the girl become flustered and start talking nonsense, Renji felt quite relieved.

'OK, the experiment was a success'

It was confirmed that there was no switcheroo, it was her indeed.

While Renji and Eileen were going back and forth, what they didn't notice was the nun beside them, Maria, who had slightly lowered her head. The weakness and fear were gone from her face, replaced by a twisted grimness.

However, as the conversation shifted back to the main topic and returned to its normal course, Maria's expression quickly returned to its original state.

"Alright, Maria, you fainted last night so we couldn't ask, but do you have any good ideas for what comes next, like you said, something that could weaken the Tainted Miasma over there?"

"No, there's no need for something so complicated," Maria suddenly spoke up.

She shook her head and looked at Renji. Perhaps witnessing the performance of the young man and the girl had caused Maria to change her plans. She spoke slowly to both of them.

"After resting last night, I... I feel much better. I believe I have a way to directly teleport us there."

" Teleport?" Eileen doubted if she had heard correctly.

And the answer the girl received was:

"Yes, my 'Divination' special ability is not limited to foresight; it can also transport us directly to the coordinates I've divined, that is, to the underground area where your mother is."

"That's so powerful!!?"

Seeing the completely serious expression on Maria's face, Eileen let out an excited exclamation, as if she had just won a big prize.

It felt like, what, like the protagonist of <<Rescuing the Succubus>> being transported back to the demon capital by a magic circle on the first day.

<<Rescuing the Succubus>> is a micro-movie co-produced by "Demon Capital" and " Mechanoid Alliance " which tells the inspirational story of how a young little succubus escaped from the hell of juiceless bionic people and returned to the demon capital.

Eileen's gaze turned to Renji immediately.

Even the girl seemed to think that this might be a bit to powerful.

Renji: "Maria, I'm quite special. When I get to that place, it might cause the 'relics' there to react violently. Can you help me conceal my presence?"

"Of course, sir."

"Is that so? Then let's not delay any further, please begin the teleportation right away, Miss Maria."

Having received the answer he wanted from the nun, Renji, now with his last concern dispelled, nodded and directly requested to start. This made Eileen beside him suddenly anxious.

She kept signaling to Renji with her eyes. Eileen's intuition told her something was amiss;' it was all going too smoothly, too quickly, too strangely. Are we really about to be teleported by the nun just like that?'

However, Renji gave the girl a reassuring look, signaling her not to worry or doubt too much.

Just like that.

After Maria had done some simple ritual arrangements, Renji and Eileen stood by her, one on each side. Accompanied by a flash of holy light, the three of them vanished from the room in an instant.
