My Gender Bend Harem: Starting from Chainsaw Man

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Because you are the only man in this world, you should be very clear about that, right?



Back at the dining table, Himeno had completely recovered from her earlier strangeness and was back to her usual cheerful big sister persona.Drunk, she laughed loudly, uninhibitedly raising her glass, clinking it with everyone around, celebrating this rare joyful gathering.

Renji Kuroda sat beside her, eating a piece of fried chicken, but his mind was elsewhere. His gaze fell on the small Kobeni on the other side.Small Kobeni raised her hand and called out an apology to the kitchen, then ordered another sundae dessert.After the waiter delivered it, she carefully scooped a spoonful with her spoon and put it into her mouth. Her body trembled from the cold dessert, but her face was full of satisfaction and happiness.

"It's so delicious~"

Renji Kuroda looked at her. Small Kobeni's clothes were her sister's old ones, and with a hat, she looked very cute.He suddenly remembered her original character setting and couldn't help but ask,"By the way, Senior Kobeni, are all your family members women too?"

Small Kobeni heard this question, a hint of confusion flashed across her face. She put down her spoon and waved her hand in front of Renji Kuroda's eyes, as if to confirm whether he was sober.

"Isn't that common knowledge? Um, Renji, are you drunk?" she asked with some concern.

Hearing her say that, Renji Kuroda picked up his wine glass, pretending to be drunk, and gulped down more than half of the wine in one go, then continued to ask in a muddled voice,

"Oh, oh... Is that so... Then... then how did your mother give birth to you?"

Small Kobeni looked at Renji Kuroda's drunken appearance and shook her head helplessly. She carefully picked up a piece of fried chicken with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, speaking indistinctly as she ate,

"How could she have given birth to us? Weren't we all sent into Tokyo together from outside? As for you, Renji, your age should be in the same batch as mine?"

Renji Kuroda's heart trembled when he heard this. Although he had considered the possibility of the Bringer of Wealth or Santa Claus, he was still somewhat surprised to actually hear it.He quickly pressed on,"Sent... sent in children? What does that mean?"

Small Kobeni looked at Renji Kuroda's flushed face and bewildered expression, and giggled.

"Renji, you're really drunk. Your memory is even having problems. Isn't it always like this? We are all children sent to Tokyo from outside. All of this is written in textbooks. As for how we were born into this world... Hmm..."

Small Kobeni shook her head.

"I don't know. I've never thought about that question. For me, being able to live like this is enough."

"Then how did your family... your family members come about?"

"Family? My mom and sister? Hmm... they were all arranged by the government in Kyoto. Renji, you're really drunk. You can even forget something like this. Your mom worked so hard to raise you, you know. If your mom knew you forgot her, she would be very sad."

Small Kobeni lectured Renji Kuroda like an elder, then picked up another piece of tempura and put it in her mouth.

Hearing the system's prompt about Small Kobeni's confusion, Renji Kuroda didn't continue to ask. He pretended to be drunk and wanting to sleep, looking dazed for a long time before saying,

"Hmm? You said you also need to go to the toilet to vomit? Did you drink too?"

Renji Kuroda's irrelevant words made Small Kobeni unable to help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She looked at Renji, confirmed that he was truly drunk, her face slightly red, and whispered,

"Just... just stay like this. It's much cuter than how you were in the hotel building... much cuter. At least we can communicate properly, and you're not so scary anymore."

Renji Kuroda pretended not to hear.

Ding~ Detected Hayakawa Aki's uncomfortable emotion. System rewards 5 points.

Across the table, Hayakawa Aki suddenly lost all strength and plopped down onto the dining table.Her originally fair cheeks were now flushed, and rapid gasps escaped her slightly parted lips. Hayakawa Aki was enveloped in a strong, pungent odor of alcohol.From the corners of her slightly open mouth, small white bubbles continuously emerged, then popped with a "pat-pat" sound.Beside her were numerous empty wine glasses, each drunk completely dry, nearly twenty or more.

Makima put down her empty wine glass and called out to the kitchen."Excuse me, another draft beer, please."

Hayakawa Aki stammered, her voice trembling."I lost... I can't do it... My stomach... my stomach feels so bad..."

Himeno saw Hayakawa Aki's situation and excitedly said,

"What, what? What's going on? Aki and Makima-san are having a drinking contest? Interesting, I'll join too! I'm on Aki's side! Excuse me! Two more draft beers, please!"

Soon, the waiter brought new beers and placed them in front of Himeno's table. Before long, Himeno finally couldn't hold on and collapsed onto the table.

However, her condition was much better than Hayakawa Aki's; she was giggling foolishly, drooling.

Himeno's head tilted, her drunken face turned directly toward Renji Kuroda. The drool from her mouth had already reached the table in front of him, forming a small, elongated puddle.

Renji Kuroda immediately felt a headache coming on.

"Renji, do you want to join?" Makima suddenly shifted the topic to him.

Renji looked at her. Nearly thirty glasses of beer were stacked in front of Makima, yet there wasn't the slightest hint of drunkenness on her face; her expression remained calm and gentle.

"Me?"

"Yes, Hayakawa Aki challenged me to a drinking contest—because of you."

Makima finished the last sip of her beer.

"Recently, devil activity has grown increasingly unusual, and fragments of the Gun Devil are appearing more often. Also, the Hunger Devil, who calls herself Fami, is secretly watching you. Hayakawa Aki wants to know from me—why you're so special."

Renji certainly knew why he was different, but at this moment, he could only feign ignorance and press further. "I... I want to know."

Makima gently swirled the glass in her hand. The amber liquid shimmered under the light, mesmerizing and dangerous. "Then if you can out-drink me, I'll tell you."

Renji nodded.

Before long, he clutched his stomach and collapsed onto the table, slurring nonsense.

"Ugh... I feel so awful... How do I even say this... If I had another chance, I definitely wouldn't drink... I'm really not cut out for this…"

Makima stood, stepped between Himeno and Renji, leaned down, and whispered into his ear, "Because you're the only man in this world. You understand that, don't you?"

Renji turned his head with difficulty to look at her—and met those unique golden ringed eyes.

. . . . . . .. . . . . . .

After the party, the night had grown deep outside the small shop.

Denji supported the drunken Hayakawa Aki, while Power yawned, her eyes fighting to stay open.

Kobeni, Arai, and the rest of the Special Division Against Devils gathered in small groups, chatting, sharing anecdotes—the atmosphere light and relaxed.

"I'll take Hayakawa Aki back. Power, Denji, since you two live together, come along as well," Makima said, glancing around at the others.

"Where's Renji Kuroda?"

"Renji was dragged away by Himeno," Kobeni said, pointing in the direction Himeno and Renji had gone.
