That’s good that you like Rentaro x Kisara because like I said it’s the most likely pairing. Rentaro x Enju leads somewhere behind.
The rest aren’t really possible unless both Kisara and Enju die or something.
Which is a shame because I like Rentaro x Seitenshi and Rentaro x Miora. One has an interesting chemistry with each other while the other is amusing.
Although the pairing I would like to see the most is Rentaro x Sumire if because it’ll be hilarious if it happens.

Anyways onto volume 1 chapter 4 part 2. Easy chapter to summarize. Except the Enju and Rentaro conversation at the end.
Hard to capture the emotional value of it so I translated it instead.
Hahahaha……..
Enjoy.
Spoiler for volume 1 chapter 4 part 2:
Kisara informed Rentaro that at the meeting conference after Kagetone is defeated everyone cheered in relief.
But at the same time, a report came in.
The stage 5 gastrea has appeared at the Tokyo bay.
And nothing can stop it. Missiles caused light damage but the damage is regenerated instantly. The world’s deadliest biological weapon can do nothing to it.
Hearing this Rentaro fell in despair. Can nothing work anymore? Is Tokyo area doomed?
However Kisara informed him that it’s too early to give up hope. She told him that a method lies to the southwest of him.
Turning his head, Rentaro exclaimed that it’s impossible.
Because what lies in that direction is “Heaven’s ladder”. Tracks 2 km in height, a height that touches the clouds. Bending at a 70 degree angle it’s the world’s deadliest superweapon. A super electromagnetic device capable of launching an 800 mm missile at near light speed.
The problem is that it hasn’t even been test ran yet. While during the gastrea war it was developed as a way to hopefully turn the tides it hasn’t been developed fast enough. The war was lost and this weapon was abandoned until now.
Rentaro and Enju rush to operate it understanding that there’s no choice left for them other than to rely on this unreliable weapon.
They rush to the underground building, where the main control panel for the device is. At there a 20 digit password is asked but fortunately Kisara with Seitenshi’s help has the password.
Rentaro with the help of Kisara had this thing started and going.
Then a female AI sounded and started the operation of “heaven’s ladder”. The entire thing started to shift towards its target. After it finished, it dug into the earth with drills. This is to prevent the reaction force from shooting an object near light speed (Newton’s third law)
After that it connected to a satellite and the target appeared on screen for Rentaro to see. Standing at over 400 meters tall with a horrifying appearance, it’s the level 5 gastrea codenamed Scorpio (all the stage 5 gastreas are named after the 12 zodiacs, funnily enough there’s only 11 stage 5 gastrea leaving one to wonder what zodiac has been left out and why). 10 years ago it and its companion’s wreaked the world. Since then it and all the stage 5 gastrea has gone into inactivity.
Seeing it first hand, Rentaro can understand why humanity has been driven to the edge by this creature. Normally speaking a creature this big cannot support its own mass. Don’t even mention walking, it won’t be surprising if something this large fell down and died due to how big it is. Whales for example get crushed by their own mass on land. In water they’re weightless since buoyancy counteracts their mass.
However a stage 5 gastrea defied physics. It not only survived with that impossibly huge size, it’s capable of moving with such size.
How tough does it have to be to support that weight?
Rentaro is once again amazed by how incredible Gastrea are.
It then roared and the entire country felt it. The entire facility shook due to the vibration from the roar, even when it’s a huge distance away.
Truly an almighty monster.
Kisara interrupted Rentaro’s daze caused by awe and told him some bad news. Nothing in this facility can be launched as a weapon. Not only that but to guarantee a kill a varium weapon has to be used.
Just as Kisara is about to give Rentaro more instructions, the connection suddenly starting cutting off.
Only being able to hear bits of Kisara’s voice over the static, Rentaro started panicking.
“Satomi-san………… the world………………… I……………….. leave it to you”.
And with that Kisara’s voice is completely cut off.
Rentaro forced himself to calm down, and when the AI, asked for an object to launch Rentaro detached his right hand and inserted it into the chamber of “Heaven’s ladder”.
While it’s questionable if it would work, using his right hand which is made of super varium as a launching object is the best way.
As if confirming Rentaro’s bet, the AI confirmed that Rentaro’s hand is capable of being launched and can withstand up to 5% light speed.
After that a joy stick popped up.
Seeing that the AI no longer is giving any controls, it means that Rentaro has to manually shoot Heaven’s ladder.
It’s impossible.
From Rentaro’s area to Tokyo region there’s a 50 kilometer gap.
The chances of manually hitting it without any preparation or calculation are in the decimal range. And if he missed and accidently hit the city instead the disaster would be catastrophic.
Just then as if to urge Rentaro to hurry the Scorpio stage 5 gastrea started swinging its tail and knocking over the missiles.
It would reach shore soon.
Rentaro’s grip tightened.
He can’t let that monster reach Tokyo area. If he gave up now, what would be the point of him fighting so hard in the first place.
GO! GO! GO RENTARO SATOMI!
However the fingers won’t obey.
“No I can’t. I can’t do this. I…..”
Want to run away.
Suddenly a pair of hands covered Rentaro’s hand.
“There’s still me. Rentaro.”
It’s Enju of course.
“If the bullet missed we’re finished”.
“It’ll hit. Rentaro will make it hit”.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Besides how can anyone trust a weapon that never even had a testing phase, and slept for ten years. If it’s of by an angle and the bullet hits Tokyo instead, unprecedented catastrophe will be the result”.
“But Rentaro will make it hit.”
“Why do you always say such irresponsible things. Besides I……”
Enju suddenly put her face close to Rentaro to the point where they always hit each other. Her wide eyes stared at Rentaro.
“I never said a single irresponsible thing in my life. I always believed in this. Only Rentaro can save the world. No one else. Only Rentaro”.
After hearing this Rentaro is surprised and took a deep breath to calm himself.
“Enju……. I definitely don’t want to lose you”.
Enju’s tense body relaxed, like all her troubles went away she closed her eyes and hugged Rentaro (how many of you thought it was going to be a kiss instead? Be honest, I know I did when I first read this part, lol).
“Yeah, no problem, I love you to, Rentaro”.
They took in each other’s warmth for a while until Enju left Rentaro’s body and said:
“Rentaro, let me get one thing clear. Can I take what you said earlier as a marriage proposal”?
Rentaro rejected her instantly:
“Idi……. Idio…….. Idiot………. It goes without saying that I like you like family. However a ten year old brat shouldn’t be talking about romance much less marriage. And in legal terms-” (Rentaro tsundere mode on).
Enju cut him off and dissatisfiedly asked Rentaro:
“Then Rentaro loves Kisara?”
“Eh…… Don’t say that out loud”.
Enju made a “V” sign in front of Rentaro.
“Two years more……. Within two years I’ll make you love me deeper then Kisara”. (the kicker here is that she’s going to be dead within 2 years).
Rentaro wryly smiled while scratching his head.
“By then I’ll be 18 and you’ll be 12. I’ll look like even more of a criminal”.
“Enju can’t wait any longer than that”.
“Ok, ok. I’ll look forward to it”.
Enju let out a small victories smile and asked him:
“You’re no longer afraid”.
Rentaro looked at his hand and noticed it stopped shaking.
“Yeah. Thanks to you I’ll be able to pull down the curtain”.
Rentaro raised his head and glanced at the controller.
Looking at the Scorpion he even felt a shred of mercy for it.
Sorry for calling you here out of the blue, but humans can’t die.
“Heaven’s ladder” has been prepared for a while now and is now shaking with energy.
Rentaro put his hand on the controller and Enju put her hand on top of his.
It’s strange, Rentaro felt very comfortable. He won’t miss no matter what.
“Enju”
“Yeah”
And they slowly pressed the trigger.
The body felt light like it can float, and sense of time is lost.
Very quickly, the light appeared enveloping everything in it's blessings.
And.................
