Chapter 158: New World II
As Renji stood there, trying to process the situation, his aunt, Misaki Takahashi, continued teasing him. "You know, Renji, if you're going to bring girls over, at least give me a heads-up," she said, winking playfully. "I could've prepared a better breakfast for your... guests."
Renji cleared his throat, attempting to shift the conversation. "Aunt Misaki, it's not what you think. They're just... friends who stayed over because of the accident."
Misaki raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "Friends, huh? Well, your friends were making quite the ruckus last night," she said, her tone dripping with playful sarcasm.
At that moment, Sakura (Trish) appeared at the doorway, wearing one of Renji's oversized shirts. "Good morning," she said, her tone casual but with a faint smirk as she glanced between Renji and Misaki.
Misaki's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Ah, so you're one of Renji's friends. Nice to meet you. I'm his aunt, Misaki. Feel free to call me Auntie Misaki."
Sakura grinned, playing along. "Nice to meet you, Auntie Misaki. Renji's been so kind to us since the accident."
Renji groaned internally. Sakura was enjoying this far too much. Before he could say anything, the other girls began filtering into the room, all similarly dressed in Renji's shirts. Misaki took one look at the group and chuckled. "Well, well, Renji. You've certainly got your hands full. Just don't forget to clean up after yourselves."
"Thanks, Aunt Misaki," Renji said, trying to maintain his composure. He quickly ushered the girls back into the living room, away from his aunt's teasing gaze.
Once they were out of earshot, Renji sighed and turned to the group. "Alright, we need to focus. We're here for a reason, and blending into this world is our first priority. That means no drawing unnecessary attention—especially from my aunt."
Hikari (Boa Hancock) stretched lazily. "So, what's the plan?"
"Well, the plan is that we all hop into Satisfy and enjoy ourselves there," Renji said as they looked at him.
