"Alya-chan! Thank goodness, you're alright. Your phone couldn't be reached. You know, Onee-chan was so worried something happened to you."
As soon as she saw Alya get out of the taxi, Masha ran to her younger sister and hugged her tightly.
"Sorry for making you worry, Masha."
Alya returned her sister's embrace. The warmth of Masha's hug felt so soothing to her heart.
On the other hand, Ren, who witnessed the touching scene between the two Kujou sisters, actually had dirty thoughts.
'Hmm... Natsuo often brags about doing shimaidon. With Masha and Alya, I can do something similar too. Just you wait, Natsuo! Next time, I'll send you a video of me sleeping with the Kujou sisters at the same time!'
"Hyaaa~ Alya-chan?! What are you doing?"
Masha was surprised when Alya's hand suddenly touched her stomach from under her clothes. The touch felt ticklish and made her giggle a little.
"Strange. Masha's stomach looks normal. Not bulging like a pregnant woman's stomach."
"Huh?"
Masha was stunned to hear her sister's words. She looked at Ren with a confused and slightly panicked expression, as if asking how Alya could know their closely guarded secret.
Putting his arms around both girls at once, Ren told the truth.
"Well, from now on, Alya is also my girlfriend. So, you two have to get along, okay?"
"Alya-chan became Ren-kun's girlfriend? What exactly happened?"
Besides being a little surprised, there was no rejection. Although the idea of siblings dating the same man felt strange from the perspective of the general public, Masha didn't think much of it. Her happiness wasn't determined by social norms, but by her own feelings.
Remembering her previous experience, Alya blushed and lowered her head.
"Umm... Masha, please don't ask any further. It violates my privacy."
Masha puffed out her cheeks, trying to investigate further.
"Come on, Alya-chan. Tell me! How could it suddenly..."
However, Alya, who now looked shy and flustered, shook her head, not wanting to admit that she was the one who first confessed her (actually fake) feelings to Ren.
Interrupting the Kujou sisters' conversation, Ren asked for their opinions. "Ahem, Masha, Alya. How about you two live with me? Not long ago, I bought a fairly large house in Bunkyo District. I want all my girlfriends to live under one roof. What do you think?"
"Living with Ren-kun, huh... Honestly, I want to too, but I'm worried my parents won't agree. They'll definitely wonder why I suddenly moved out."
Whatever Ren's request, even if it was strange, Masha wouldn't refuse.
"I also want to live with Ren-kun, but that's impossible. No normal parents would allow their high school daughter to live with a man."
Just like her sister, Alya had a desire to always be near Ren.
"Alright. Since you two don't object, then let me convince your parents."
Masha and Alya exchanged glances, slightly surprised by Ren's incredibly confident tone. They didn't know where that confidence came from.
"Sure. If Ren-kun really manages to convince Mom, I'll live with you. It just so happens that Mom is home."
Masha pulled Ren's arm to follow her into the house.
"..."
As Alya watched Masha's back as she walked ahead with Ren, her mind wandered.
'Why have I never noticed it? Lately, Masha has often been throwing up in the morning. Then, she suddenly really likes to eat sour fruits; those are symptoms of a pregnant woman. Why have I never thought about it? Maybe in my mind, Masha isn't the type of naughty girl who would get pregnant in high school.'
Unconsciously, Alya touched her own stomach.
'My womb was filled with Ren-kun's seed on my dangerous day... Could it be that I'll get pregnant like Masha?'
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Masha and Alya's mother, Kujou Akemi, greeted them in the living room. Although she had given birth twice and both her daughters were teenagers, her beauty was timeless.
Akemi was a very charming young woman of medium height. Her skin was as white as milk, contrasting beautifully with her flowing jet-black hair. Her eyes were a gentle dark brown, radiating the warmth of a loving mother.
It seemed Akemi had just returned from the office, evident from the black business suit that fit her perfectly. She wore a neat white button-down shirt and black mesh tights that accentuated her long legs.
Fortunately for the Kujou family, Ren's taste in women tended towards young, virgin girls. Otherwise, Akemi's mature and captivating charm might have been enough to make him consider adding his (potential) mother-in-law to his harem.
"So that's the purpose of my visit. What do you think, mother-in-law?"
Ren put his arms around Masha's and Alya's waists as they sat on his left and right in front of the Kujou sisters' mother.
"..."
Akemi looked at the three of them with a calm and slightly assessing gaze. After a moment, she sighed softly.
"I see. Rokuhara-kun looks like a good and responsible man. I don't think it's a problem to entrust my two daughters to an extraordinary man like you."
Such an easily obtained agreement made Masha and Alya exchange astonished glances.
"Thank you very much, mother-in-law." Ren replied with a faint smile that implied victory.
So, how did Ren convince Akemi so easily?
The answer was simple: he used another hypnotic spell through the Divine Authorities Book of Knowledge!
Conventional methods would clearly not have worked to make Akemi agree to let her two daughters live with a man she had just met, especially with the arrogance Ren displayed.
With a little subtle manipulation of Akemi's mind, Ren managed to instill a positive impression and a sense of trust in him, making the woman easily give her blessing.
"In that case, Rokuhara-kun, how about you have lunch with us?"
"Thank you for the offer, mother-in-law, but I'll help Masha and Alya pack their things. We plan to move to my new house today."
Refusing Akemi's offer, Ren began his work using the only magic he had mastered without the help of the Divine Authorities, which was storage magic.
With his extraordinary talent in learning magic, he could have actually learned various other kinds of magic if he wanted to.
But what was the point?
With the Divine Authorities Book of Knowledge always ready, Ren could use any magic he needed without having to bother learning it beforehand.
Indeed, magic might not be as powerful as the Divine Authorities in terms of pure destructive power. However, magic had the advantage in terms of functionality and ease of use for everyday tasks.
Masha and Alya began choosing their personal belongings to take to their new residence. They sorted through clothes, favorite books, childhood dolls, and various other trinkets that held sentimental value for them.
Skillfully, Ren stored all the items chosen by the two girls into an invisible storage magic dimension, making the moving process much more efficient and without the hassle of carrying many suitcases or boxes.
