The Charming Ex-Wife

Knock-! Knock-!
"Come in."
After hearing a knock on the door, Kevin turned his head to look up as Ren entered the study.
The moment that Kevin laid eyes on Ren, a peculiar expression emerged on his face.
Ignoring the look that Kevin was giving him, with his eyes curiously wandering around the room, Ren sat on one of the sofas and crossed his legs.
"Making yourself feel at home?"
"...It's a nice place"
Ren replied, his eyes still wandering around the room
Unable to remain silent, Kevin opened his mouth to speak. How could he not when Ren entered the room with an enormous black eye?
"...What happened to your e-"
"Don't speak about it."
Ren cut him off, his bottom lip twitching.
"I fell down the stairs."
"Oh."
Kevin nodded, pretending to fall for his bullshit.
'As if someone would believe an ranker can fall down the stairs."
Dropping his pen on the table and leaning back in his chair, he crossed his arms together and asked.
"What did you want to talk to me about? You are well aware of how hectic my schedule has become since I took over as leader of the Alliance. I have at most thirty minutes to talk with you."
"...Right, you're indeed a busy man."
Ren withdrew his gaze from the surrounding area and turned his attention back to Kevin.
After pausing for a brief period of reflection, he opened his mouth and began to speak.
"I'll be frank with you. I need your help."
"With what?"
"Information."
"Oh?"
Kevin raised his brow, curious as to what Ren's request would be.
'Information...What exactly does he want to know?'
It was an unusual occurrence for Ren to request information from him. He was typically the guy that knew it all.
It shows how desperate he must have been for him to even consider asking him for information.
After all, he had the memories of hundreds of different regressions.
"Sheet, I'm all ears. What is it that you want to know?"
As long as Ren did not ask for any private or confidential information that he was unable to disclose, Kevin didn't see why he wouldn't help Ren.
After all, he was still his best friend.
"Rather than telling you, I'll show you."
Ren shifted his weight back in the chair before suddenly raising his arm.
At this precise instant, the room began to tremble ever so slightly, and dark scales began to develop on
"Huh?"
Kevin abruptly sat up straight.
His eyes immediately widened, and his previously unruffled expression underwent a dramatic transformation.
"This..."
On the surface of Ren's skin, a dark colour began to emerge, pulsating with such intensity that it spread to every nook and cranny of the room.
With each passing second that Ren continued, the pressure that was already present in the room became even more intense, and Kevin, who could no longer take it, stood up.
"What have you done, Ren?!"
Kevin's eyes were wide open and were concentrating on Ren's arm, which had become completely covered in black scales at that point.
As seen as Kevin yelled, the phenomenon that was occurring around the room came to an end, and the demonic energy that had been lingering in the air
vanished.
At the same time, the scales that were on Ren's arm began to slowly recede
back.
Ren lowered his arm and looked up at Kevin, his smile bitter.
"...I don't think I need to explain myself. You should already be aware of what I've done."
"You..."
Kevin was at a loss for words as he looked at Ren. He was honestly speechless.
In spite of having recovered most of his memories, and despite thinking that he had seen it all, Ren did not fail him in bringing him a surprise.
Slumping down on his chair, the chair slid a couple of centimetres back, and Kevin raised his head to look at the ceiling before covering his eyes with his arm.
"...I can't believe you would do something as crazy as mixing demonic blood within your body...what in the world made you think that that was a good idea?"
Kevin muttered in a low tone, his voice still filled with utter disbelief.
He was having trouble trying to make heads or tails of the situation.
"I didn't have much of a choice."
Ren, on the other hand, appeared comparatively calm, anticipating Kevin's response from the very beginning and leaning back in his chair.
"You know...when one only has two more years to live, they tend to do things that they would normally not do for the sake of preventing their inevitable death...well,
at least for me, it's mostly like that."
Kevin opened up his palm and peered at Ren from the gap in his fingers.
"I've already resigned myself to die one day...I just wanted to die after accomplished what I wanted to accomplish...and for that, I needed strength." Ren leaned in close to Kevin as he looked at him intently, and his tone of voice became very serious.
"Kevin, I need your help. I know that you're not the same Kevin that I know...but fundamentally, you're still him. I know that you have a way to help me. At least, tell me of a way that can help me stop myself from getting corrupted by the side effects of the demonic blood inside my body."
Kevin lowered his arm and repositioned his body so that his back was straight.
His eyes focused deeply on Ren's as they looked at each other for the next
couple of seconds.
"Haaa..."
Kevin eventually let out a long sigh and once again reclined in his chair as he
mumbled to himself.
"...I can't believe I'm doing this."
"Thank you."
"You shouldn't thank me just yet."
Kevin snapped, looking back at Ren, who had a satisfied smile on his face.
Kevin's mouth twitched when he saw that.
+ didn't even say anything, and yet you're already showing me such an
expression."

"Melendeir."
He said in a low tone.

"Don't tell me..."
Ren's eyes gradually opened, and he began to form an impression of the kind of
planet Kevin was referring to.
"Yeah..."
Slowly, Kevin nodded his head and continued.
"Melendoir. The planet where the world tree resides, and the place where devil
fruits are harvested."
