"First, I want to know why you suddenly decided to turn to , even going so far as to abandon your status as mbers of the Ten Great Demon Lords?"
Given his rank as a Demon Lord, Rei Ao indeed had every right to question these other demon lords.
Flapping her wings as she rose into the air, Ramiris said helplessly, "Because you've beco so powerful, Rei Ao, and you even personally killed Clayman. All the demon lords are on edge."
With just one sentence, she laid bare the truth.
Simply put, they were afraid.
Nor did Ramiris bother to deny it for the sake of any so-called demon lord's dignity.
Of course—
It might also be tied to her own free-spirited personality.
Seeing she had spoken so frankly,
Frey and Luminus admitted to those sa fears in turn.
Frey wore a bitter expression. "Because I'm a newly erged Demon Lord, I'm not all that powerful. I was worried I'd follow in Clayman's footsteps... so..."
Luminus fixed her gaze on Rei Ao.
In a cool, composed voice, she said, "Even Guy is no match for you. Your strength has beco a great mountain crushing down on every demon lord."
"And you also lie outside the Ten Great Demon Lords' usual rules."
Ramiris boldly flew right up in front of him.
From the heart, she sighed, "I really can't figure out how you beca such a powerful Demon Lord, Rei Ao."
"Heh."
Rei Ao let out a soft laugh.
He held out his palm.
Ramiris's eyes lit up.
She imdiately perched on his outstretched hand.
The little one wasn't the least bit fearful, and was rather endearing.
"This is my ability—just like so of you demon lords possess your own ultimate skills."
Naturally, when it ca to Demon Lord–related abilities, he wasn't about to explain in detail. He simply brushed it off as being akin to an "ultimate skill."
That, however, wasn't the main focus right now. The real point was not why he was so strong.
"So, are you saying the current demon lords are all afraid I'll take off their heads?"
"..."
His words were quite confrontational.
But Frey and the others couldn't deny them.
Ramiris herself had worried about exactly that, before.
But now...
There she was, poking at his palm curiously.
Ramiris raised a hand. "I believe that you wouldn't kill them for no reason, Rei Ao."
"Oh? And why do you trust ?"
"Hehe~"
Ramiris hugged his index finger and showed a blissful expression.
"Because the aura around you is really comfortable. I like it~"
Fairies are extrely sensitive to things they dislike.
Very few existences can make them feel such natural closeness.
Especially for the strongest among them, the Fairy Queen.
Rei Ao quite liked this little creature who was usually nowhere to be found.
So he asked, "So, are you planning to submit to on the premise of it being forever?"
Forever?
As soon as he said that, Frey and Luminus both pricked up their ears.
Their thoughts began to race.
After all, they had co here to serve under him for their own protection—
But they were hoping for a vassal-like arrangent, not complete submission that ant selling themselves out for so length of ti.
All the more so when the condition was "forever."
"Hey, are you threatening Ramiris?" Milim stood up, annoyed.
After all, Ramiris was her friend.
And just because Milim acted spoiled and willful, it didn't an she was foolish.
In fact, you could say that anyone capable of becoming a Demon Lord couldn't possibly be simple-minded.
There was no way she'd just sit by and watch her friend be coaxed like a little child.
But Ramiris halted her impulsive outburst.
"Milim, I'm fine. Don't worry."
"But that condition..."
Milim wanted to argue further.
However, Ramiris didn't mind.
"The condition doesn't bother . I'm honestly pretty weak."
She smiled, turned, and said, "But I do have one condition of my own."
"Let's hear it."
She and Milim were probably the only ones who dared to make conditions with him.
Take Frey and Luminus, off to the side—
Hearing Rei Ao's own terms had made them second-guess themselves.
They'd rather refuse than negotiate because they dreaded becoming the next Clayman.
"That is... from now on, I want to live here."
That was Ramiris's condition—extrely simple.
So simple that everyone looked surprised.
Rei Ao frowned. "That's it?"
"Mhm, it looks really nice and comfortable here."
Ramiris nodded her little head.
"If that's all, I have no problem with it."
That request was trivial.
And Rei Ao naturally didn't mind.
But as he watched Ramiris's face light up, as though completely satisfied with this, a thought occurred to him.
"You currently have to reincarnate into a new body every so often, right?"
Even though the question was directed at Ramiris, it was Milim who froze up.
Because Ramiris's situation was still connected to the ti Milim had gone berserk long ago.
Even soone as willful as Milim felt guilt over that.
"So you can tell as well, Rei Ao."
Ramiris admitted it.
She scratched her head in frustration.
"There's nothing I can do. When all my power was drained, I fell and beca the Fairy Queen."
"But this cycle of reincarnation at least has one benefit: every ti I'm reborn, I gain a new potential growth threshold."
In other words, a small silver lining among many drawbacks.
But it took a very long ti to grow.
"Since you've chosen to submit to , let give you a gift."
"Hmm?"
As soon as Rei Ao finished speaking, Ramiris beca aware that sothing was happening.
Her body seed to be lifted by an invisible force from the palm of his hand.
Then she felt a certain power awakening inside her.
"!!!"
A golden light burst from her diminutive form and spread outward at high speed.
"W-what did you do to Ramiris?"
Milim's eyes widened.
Though she sounded accusatory, she didn't move.
Because she couldn't sense anything dangerous in that glowing ball of light.
"Heh, don't worry. She's not in any danger."
Rei Ao gave a light chuckle. "She's the very first Demon Lord to willingly submit to . How could I treat her badly?"
"What... trendous magic power!"
Sensing the abnormality, Luminus fixed her distinct-colored eyes on the growing orb of light.
She had a powerful hunch that sothing unimaginable was about to happen.
Sure enough—
When the glowing orb grew to the height of an adult, it finally stopped.
Then the golden light gradually faded away.
And from within that light erged not the tiny, fairy-like Ramiris they knew—
But a full-grown woman with a shapely figure and long golden hair, completely naked... an elf!
