Chapter 282 ( Getting to the Truth )
". . ." - Cloud just kept silent as he watched the two girls quietly withdraw. He wasn't worried about them talking about this, because the [System] had taken care to block out everything about this conversation, as well as the secrets they knew about him. They couldn't talk about it, even if they wanted to.
"It's your first time going through rejection..." - Shizuka said as she looked at her boyfriend - "How are you?"
"It's better to go through this as soon as possible..." - Cloud replied as he shook his head - "Because it was possible that in the future I might have my expectations so high that rejection will affect me much worse than it does now..."
Chifuyu nodded when she heard this because it was a good way to take it, not to mention that he was right. At least now he could take rejection better in the future.
"Although you could say that all is not lost..." - Cloud added as he showed them the object he had just gotten.
"A letter?" - Chifuyu asked as she frowned, only to widen her eyes in surprise when she noticed the contents of the letter - "Ok, this is a bit strange..."
". . ." - Ren and Ema, only watched in silence as the illustration on the letter, was none other than the two girls who had just retired.
***************************************
[Isami and Rena] (SR+)

Additional Info: You can give these cards to the [Collector], a character that will appear in your Home World when it reaches level 2.
***************************************
"So, even though they rejected you, they couldn't escape from you" - Kyōka said while letting out a laugh.
". . ." - Cloud rolled his eyes at her - "This card only captures the 'memories' I have about those two, that's why they are external entities to them."
"That means, if I had rejected you, would my letter be a completely naked image of me?" - Kyōka asked while tilting her head to the side.
". . ." - Cloud was silent when he heard this because it might be a possibility that he honestly wouldn't want to experience.
"Back on topic, I think it's time for you to tell us some other things... like, for example, how many other girls do you have in your bedroom?" - Kyōka asked while looking at the blond boy - "And not while, remember that we'll find out when we go with you to your world."
"I'm curious to discover the worlds you've been" - added Ema excitedly while her eyes shone like stars.
Asuna didn't say anything, but she too was full of curiosity to know how many rivals she had.
"Let's see... there's Saya-chan, Kyoko-chan, Yuriko-chan, Rei-chan, Miku-chan, Rika-chan... me..." - Shizuka said as she started to think - "Those are the ones in my world."
"In my world they are, Houki, Charlotte, Cecilia, Maya, Tabane, Tatenashi, me" - replied Chifuyu while looking at the girls - "Although among them, Tabane, Rika-san and me, we are just their recruits..."
"For now..." - Kyōka said while looking at the girl - "Time can make a lot of things change."
"True... the future is something we can't know" - replied Chifuyu, who was sincerely accepting the fact that in a possible future, the relationship between them will change drastically.
"Tch, you're no fun... I was expecting another kind of answer" - Kyōka snorted while looking at the black-haired woman.
"Let's better change the subject" - said Asuna because if she was honest, she didn't want to hear more about their rivals - "Is there anything else we need to know?"
"It's possible that my mother is included among us" - answered Kyōka while shrugging her shoulders.
"Ok, really, Cloud-chan?" - Shizuka asked as she rolled her eyes at him - "Again?"
"Again!" - The girls exclaimed as they looked at the blond.
"Right, you guys don't know about that" - said Shizuka as she looked at her now classmates - "Saya-chan is Yuriko-chan's daughter."
". . ." - Asuna, Ren, Kyōka, and Ema, just gave a blank look to the boy, who just shook his head.
"Things are a lot more complicated than they think" - Cloud said as he looked at his now recruits - "But I'm not going to tell them about it, it's better that the ones involved are the ones responsible for telling them about it."
"Come to think of it... Tabane is Houki's older sister" - Chifuyu said as she looked at the blond boy.
The girls again looked at the blond.
"This time I can explain, I started a relationship with Houki, but I don't have anything with Tabane" - Cloud answered while shaking his head - "Come to think of it.... Why am I explaining myself to you guys?"
The girls looked to the side to hide their embarrassment, at least Asuna and Ema did, because Kyōka and Ren just rolled their eyes at her.
"Ok, sorry I'm late" - Okina said while looking around - "Did I miss something?"
"Oh, from many things" - answered Kyōka as she looked at the teacher who had just arrived.
"I feel like things are about to rock my world" - muttered Okina as she looked at the expression of those present.
* * * * *
"I see... that's a lot of information to digest..." - Okina said as she started to think - "But first, I agree to become you [Recruit] or whatever, after all, I told you that you won't get rid of me that easily."
[Character Okina, you have been successfully recruited...].
"Okay, now that we got that out of the way.... How about you tell me a bit about the multiverse or whatever you want to call it?" - Okina asked as she cocked her head to the side.
"It's usually the other way around" - Ema said as sweat ran down her forehead.
"Meh, I never followed other people's rules" - snorted Okina as she listened to the blond, only to be more and more surprised with every word he said - "Ok, with that I confirm that my decision was the right one, I can't always say that I have a boyfriend who in the future will be able to destroy the universe with the snap of his fingers."
"I think you've seen too many Avengers movies" - Kyōka said while rolling her eyes at him.
"No, actually, she's right" - said Asuna seriously while looking at the blue-haired girl - "Think about it, according to Cloud-sama, the worlds we read about may end up being one of the future worlds we will travel to, making the power level escalate in unknown ways... it's even possible that we will travel to a world like the one in the Marvel movies."
Cloud honestly didn't know how to react right now because unlike [Infinite Stratos] and [Highschool of the Dead], the world of [Dragons Rioting] was aware of countless different stories like the stories of the Marvel Universe, the world of DC, among many well-known Anime like Doraemon, Dragon Ball, or Death Note - "I guess that's the power of worlds having the power of references..."
"Did you say something, Cloud-sama?" - Asuna asked as she looked at the blond boy.
"No... I was just thinking out loud" - Cloud replied as the girls started talking to each other with Shizuka and Chifuyu because now they had a lot of things to know.
"Hmm... I guess I could use a little breather" - Cloud muttered as he saw how the girls seemed to be in their own world.
"I think you're forgetting about me" - said a voice behind him.
"Huh?" - Cloud half turned around in surprise when he saw Erin, only to remember that she was also on the spot - "You're getting good at hiding your presence."
"Thanks..." - Erin replied as she rolled her eyes at her current leader - "Though if I'm honest, I haven't decided what to do yet."
"You don't have to force yourself" - Cloud replied as he shook his head - "The answer will come on its own."
". . ." - Erin nodded normally as she walked out of the place - "I'll give it some more thought.... I promise I'll give you the answer you're looking for in a moment."
He finished speaking and she disappeared into the shadows.
"Ok, I admit I'm jealous of that ability" - Cloud said as he shook his head.
* * * * * *
"That was a good nap... I think I can finally come up with an answer" - muttered Ryōko as she stretched, and in the process, making her huge and sexy attributes jiggle with each of her movements - "Let's see... let's gather all the information I have so far."
Ryōko concentrated on everything the boy had told her, only to frown because she noticed a slight detail - "He didn't seem to be very comfortable with my words when I said the prophecy.... Maybe that's the reason?"
Ryōko thought much more carefully as she pondered that hypothesis - "Motive...motive.... What's the motive..."
Ryōko was indeed using all her concentration in order to come up with an answer, only for after a few minutes of deep headache, she finally came up with one - "Maybe.... Maybe he didn't like the idea of me being with him because of a prophecy?"
Ryōko's eyes widened in surprise when she said this because it made sense - "So... when I told him that I wanted to be by his side... that would explain why he was upset... it all makes sense now..."
When she managed to figure out this detail, countless new ideas popped into her mind, making it much easier to continue that line of thinking.
