Rei Ao picked up on Futaba's desire to help.
After considering and seeing no real danger, Rei Ao nodded and said,
"Alright, put your clothes on. Next, I'll tell you what to do."
"Mm-hmm."
The charger was disconnected.
Futaba, cheeks flushed a deep red, quickly began to get dressed.
Rei Ao was not idle, either.
Rei Ao: "Shizue, please initiate the trade. I'm going to catch a quick nap."
Izawa Shizue: "Alright."
[Ding! Izawa Shizue has initiated a trade request!]
[Trade Content]: Give her a hug.
[Ding! Please select your trade terms!]
This trade content clearly showed Shizue's inner longing.
"Looks like once we get over there, I'll have to take good care of Shizue,"
Rei Ao mused, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
Before long—
[Ding! Trade begins!]
[Trade Partner]: Izawa Shizue
[Trade Content]: Give her a hug.
[Trade Terms]: 'Usage rights of the body' once
[Duration]: 24 hours
anwhile, Futaba had already finished putting on her clothes.
Apart from standing a bit awkwardly, she still looked breathtaking,
showing no trace of her previous wild deanor.
Rei Ao nodded and said,
"Just follow the prompts and agree, then I'll take you to see the scenery of another world."
[Ding! You have chosen the chat group's sub-group to grant to target: Futaba Rio!]
[Ding! You have selected Futaba Rio as the target to bring across worlds!]
"!!!"
Futaba felt sudden, strange knowledge flooding her mind.
Even though she was shocked, she still carefully followed Rei Ao's instructions and chose "Agree."
Buzz!
The two of them disappeared from the room in unison.
…
Futaba Rio's Bedroom.
"Mm…"
For reasons unknown, Futaba Rio's body felt as though soone had used it, leaving her sprawled ssily on the bed. The ragged rise and fall of her chest gradually eased as she drifted into a deep sleep.
But now—
Futaba Rio furrowed her brow.
She sensed a flood of information pouring into her head, and strange prompts echoed in her mind.
Her eyelids fluttered; she was just about to open her eyes.
…
Great Forest of Jura
Treyni watched the three silent individuals before her, feeling extrely anxious.
She had no idea what answer she might receive.
If they kept on hesitating, the forest would be dood!
She was about to speak up again when—
She froze, stunned.
Before her eyes, two people appeared out of thin air.
No—make that three people!
Another person appeared sideways in midair, then began to fall.
"Hmm?"
Rei Ao reacted swiftly, catching her just in ti.
The sudden sense of weightlessness and the feeling of being held snapped the half-asleep Futaba Rio wide awake.
She opened her eyes to see Rei Ao holding her.
Her gaze, still laced with lingering allure, was filled with confusion.
"…"
Rei Ao himself was taken aback.
He now had one Futaba Rio in his arms—
And another Futaba Rio standing right beside him, equally puzzled.
That look in her eyes…was so similar to the way Futaba looked back when they were "exercising."
But she wasn't Futaba—
She was Futaba Rio.
Futaba exclaid in surprise, "Another is here too?"
Frowning, Rei Ao turned to the bewildered Futaba Rio and asked, "Do you suddenly have a lot of new information in your head?"
"…"
Futaba Rio silently nodded.
From that, Rei Ao had a rough idea of what was happening.
He glanced at his own world's chat group and saw just one newcor nad "Futaba Rio."
Now there were two separate Futaba Rios, but they were ultimately one person.
The chat group also counted them as a single individual.
Hence, they shared the sa slot in the group.
Because Futaba was brought here, Futaba Rio was pulled along with her.
They were the sa person.
"Tsk…"
Now it was Rei Ao's turn to get a headache.
"Um…could you put down first?" Futaba Rio asked.
"Alright."
He set her on her feet.
Strangely, her legs buckled, mirroring Futaba's awkward posture.
Rei Ao noticed this detail but assud she was just frightened.
"…"
Futaba Rio steadied her breathing and glanced at the dark forest around them.
Velzard approached and studied the pair curiously.
"One person with two identical bodies—how peculiar."
She and Velgrynd, with their keen senses, could easily see what made these two Futaba Rios special.
Folding his arms, Velgrynd speculated, "One soul in two bodies?"
Izawa Shizue, however, was focused on the main issue.
"Rei Ao, this is Treyni. She wants to ask us for help in saving this forest."
Rei Ao nodded. He could confirm that Treyni was indeed the very person he rembered.
Treyni trembled slightly.
She lowered her head warily, sensing that this newly arrived human was trendously powerful.
Rei Ao signaled Futaba and Rio not to fret, then turned to Treyni and said calmly, "Go ahead—tell about the situation you're facing right now."
"Yes, sir. Well, the forest…"
Treyni, straightforward and honest, explained the nace of the Orc Tribe's army.
She only knew the part that concerned the tribe itself; there was more she did not.
"All of this was set in motion by a certain higher demon," Velzard added.
"The leader of the Orc Tribe is currently evolving. He carries within him the power to advance into a Demon Lord,"
Velu Velgrynd said with obvious displeasure, "That guy who woke up is likely trying to create a 'Demon Lord Species,' maybe even turn him into a true Demon Lord."
"!!!"
Treyni was horrified.
Attempting to create a Demon Lord… How terrifying!
"Uh?"
Rei Ao was montarily surprised.
This scenario felt strangely familiar—
The Orc Lord!
It was exactly the sa situation: the Orc Lord leading a massive Orc army to devour the Great Forest of Jura, all in order to beco a Demon Lord and rule it.
Velzard, looking unusually serious, reminded him, "Rei Ao, it's not so simple."
Velu Velgrynd put away his irritation and said, "Yeah. A re high-level demon trying to create a Demon Lord—nobody would believe it if we told them."
"I know."
Rei Ao nodded, fully aware.
"There's a Demon Lord's influence behind it."
"???"
Treyni was stunned.
A Demon Lord was behind this conspiracy?
But…why?
Of course, it was because of the Great Forest of Jura.
Right now, several Demon Lords were fighting for control over it.
Their plan was to let the Orc Lord beco the "Orc Demon Lord."
A Orc Demon Lord naturally wouldn't be too bright, and a newly minted Demon Lord wouldn't be very strong.
That made him easy to manipulate.
In order to bring about the birth of the Orc Demon Lord, the entire Great Forest of Jura had been turned into a sacrificial pawn.
