As the water bottle was jostled again, its lid finally gave way. A large amount of viscous white liquid poured out, splashing onto the cold asphalt and releasing a strange, indescribable odor into the air.
Kobeni fumbled to scoop it back in—but after only two frantic scoops, she froze. A figure had silently loomed over her, casting a heavy shadow.
"Waaaaahhhh!"
Kobeni screamed in terror.
"It's over, it's over! It's over, it's over! I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead! This time I'm really dead! I'm definitely going to be killed!!!"
Her heart hammered against her ribs, threatening to burst from her chest. Her mind went blank, unable to form a single coherent thought. Despair and fear wracked her body, making it tremble uncontrollably.
But Reze made no move toward Kobeni. She merely glanced at her with cool indifference, then stepped around her and walked straight toward the spilled liquid on the ground.
Reze crouched down, studying the substance carefully. The white fluid was unfamiliar—but the strange scent it emitted…
…stirred something deep in her memory.
"This is…?"
The smell was both fishy and foul, almost nauseating—yet for some reason, Reze's body began to weaken involuntarily.
Her heartbeat quickened. Her breathing grew shallow and rapid. An inexplicable craving surged from the depths of her heart.
Reze realized with shock that her body was developing a powerful desire for this disgusting white fluid on the ground.
The craving yanked her thoughts back to the abandoned school, to that moment in the corridor with Renji.
Back then, she had swallowed his release—and her body's reaction now was exactly the same.
But this white fluid before her seemed darker in color, far thicker than before. It looked like an upgraded version.
This was…
This must be Renji's seed!
The realization hit her. Reze turned her head sharply to look at Kobeni. Kobeni, seeing Reze's bomb-head swivel toward her, was so terrified she immediately began kowtowing again, babbling pleas for mercy.
Why?
Why did this timid woman have Renji's seed? And a whole bottle's worth?
The question echoed in Reze's mind. A nameless anger suddenly ignited, flooding her heart.
"What is your relationship with Renji?"
"Eh…? Co… colleague?"
Kobeni's voice wavered with terror, her answer sounding more like a question. To Reze, that implied many things.
"Have you two done it?"
"Eh…?! Wh-what?!"
Reze lunged forward and grabbed Kobeni by the collar, hoisting her fully into the air.
Her strength was terrifying. Kobeni couldn't resist at all. Sparks flickered beneath Reze's feet—and with an explosive blast, she launched them both into the sky.
Kobeni was carried through the air in a graceful arc, tears streaming down her face as she realized she was truly finished. She was going to die. Her tears scattered and fell through the night sky.

...
On the road below, a car raced forward at breakneck speed, the screech of tires echoing through the darkness.
"Keep going straight? Where are we headed now?"
Hayakawa Aki gripped the steering wheel tightly, eyes fixed on the road ahead illuminated by the headlights. She glanced at Renji in the passenger seat.
Renji held tight to the overhead handle, staring forward.
"To the beach. Floor it. As fast as you can. Denji, Angel Devil—get ready! We might have to fight Reze along the way! She's incredibly strong!"
Denji, in the back seat, was buzzing with excitement, declaring she would protect Renji and show him her heroic side. She also took a dig at Power, calling her a padded bra liar.
"Ugh… this is such a hassle… why do I always end up in things like this…"
Angel Devil sighed heavily, staring out the window with a face full of reluctance.
Suddenly, Hayakawa Aki slammed on the brakes. The car screeched to a violent halt, tires smoking on the asphalt.
Renji had braced himself and held tight, so he was fine—but Denji and Angel Devil, caught off guard, slammed forward into the seats ahead.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow… Hey, what's going on? Did we run out of gas?"
Angel Devil rubbed her bumped nose.
"Hey! Aki! Why'd you brake out of nowhere?!"
Denji's tone was sharp with reproach.
Hayakawa Aki ignored their complaints. She stared intently ahead, knuckles white on the steering wheel, cold sweat beading on her brow.
"I just saw the next three seconds… Kobeni's been taken hostage. Damn it!"
"What?! Kobeni's been taken?!"
Renji's eyes widened in shock.
Reze descended from the air. This time her landing was gentle, without exploding into deep craters like before. She stood in front of the car, and in front of everyone, she grabbed Kobeni's sleeve and effortlessly lifted Kobeni into the air, suspending her.
Kobeni's face was pale. She cried, helplessly wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, and choked out apologies to everyone.
"Everyone… I'm… I'm sorry… I'm holding everyone back… I'm sorry… I'm sorry…"
"Renji, raise your hands, make sure they stay in my sight, then slowly walk out of the car. I won't harm this woman."
Reze said, pushing Kobeni forward a little to show she wasn't joking.
Renji complied. He first pushed open the car door, then raised his hands, and slowly got out of the car under Reze's gaze.
"Why are you doing this? This is just between the two of us, isn't it? Kobeni is very timid, and she has many younger sisters at home to support. Are you really going to kill her?"
Reze hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"Did you do it with this woman?"
Renji froze, Kobeni froze, and the three people in the car also froze.
Renji didn't understand for a moment, his face full of bewilderment.
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"I asked if you did it with this woman? Used your large dick to check her little mantou flower heart."
Kobeni suddenly stopped crying, but her face turned bright red, and she stared blankly at Renji. Renji looked back at her, Kobeni's eyes darted around, and finally, she lowered her head.
Himeno's pretty face also turned red, and she gritted her teeth, but she still tried her best to remain calm.
Cosmo covered her ears with both hands, filled with regret for having bothered to listen to what Reze said, and a rare blush appeared on her face.
At the same time, whether it was an illusion or not, she felt a fishy, foul smell begin to emanate from her face.
Power's face was also flushed, and she gritted her teeth, her expression comical.
