Rei Ao let Fubuki rush off just like that. Watching her fly into the sky until she disappeared, Erica couldn't help asking:
"You're really letting her run off like that?"
A mont earlier, Fubuki had swallowed the white orb of energy Rei Ao offered her. A whirlwind burst out around her, and she flew off in a fit of excitent. She'd clearly felt a real boost in her telekinesis—flying had always been tricky for her before.
"She'll co back," Rei Ao replied casually.
For one, this was another world; it wasn't like she could flee very far. On top of that, what he'd given Fubuki was basically just a trial pass. And a "trial pass" is exactly that—when the ti is up, the dream ends.
"Rei Ao-san, how did you manage such a thing?"
Erica was deeply shaken. Even a god-slayer Demon King from her own experience couldn't just hand out instant power like that to soone else.
"It's nothing special—just a little trick. No need to overthink it. All you have to know is that I can make deals to fulfill whatever you want."
Rei Ao left her with that sowhat cryptic comnt and turned to Michiru, who had been spacing out for a while, staring at him.
"Michiru, why are you zoning out over there?"
"Ah… S-sorry…"
She looked down apologetically.
She'd just witnessed far too many worldview-shattering events in quick succession.
"Don't sweat it. Take your ti to process. I only brought you here to show you a bit of this other world."
"Mm."
Michiru nodded. "I'll adjust to it."
Right then, a system ssage flashed:
[Ding! Lieselotte has sent you a trade request!]
[Trade Content]: Hurry up and marry her—consummate the marriage!
[Ding! Please select your trade conditions!]
"Huh?"
Rei Ao glanced over.
"Hehe~"
Lieselotte, who had just finished poking around in the chat group, looked at him with a sly grin.
"I want to test out this 'trade function,' my dear Demon King. How about it?"
"…"
"I'm staying right where I am," Rei Ao replied, not accepting her trade request. "Let's skip the marriage idea for now. It wouldn't be fair to the others if you cut in line."
"Marriage?" Erica and Michiru both gave him odd looks. Why are we suddenly talking about marriage? Of course, they couldn't see the private trade screen on Lieselotte's side.
"Rei Ao-nii, what's marriage?" Kanna asked innocently.
"Marriage is a ceremony where two people who like each other beco husband and wife."
"Does that an becoming a mommy and a daddy?"
"Pretty much."
Kanna's eyes sparkled.
"Then can Kanna beco a mommy, too?"
"Who do you want to marry?"
"Rei Ao-nii!" she answered without hesitation.
"Uh…"
All four of them looked at Rei Ao rather strangely. Luckily, he was thick-skinned enough that it didn't bother him.
"Let's discuss that so other ti."
"Rei Ao-kun, what are you even talking about?" Michiru asked in surprise.
"Kanna's over ten thousand years old—she's a dragon, not a human," he said, perfectly serious.
"I-I… well…"
Michiru couldn't think of a single rebuttal.
"Wow, is she really over ten thousand years old?" Lieselotte asked, eyeing Kanna curiously. Guess you really can't judge by appearances.
Still, she wasn't overly interested in Kanna. She looked up at Rei Ao and pouted cutely:
"Then how about another trade request?"
[Ding! Lieselotte has sent you a trade request!]
[Trade Content]: Go on a date with her for a day!
[Ding! Please select your trade conditions!]
"A date, huh? That's an easy one."
Rei Ao accepted her request. Imdiately:
[Ding! Trade initiated!]
[Trade Target]: Lieselotte
[Trade Content]: Accompany her on a day-long date
[Trade Condition]: "Unlimited Body Usage Rights"
[Duration]: 24 hours
"Oh my, what a big price to pay just for a date~" Lieselotte teased, smiling slyly.
"Naturally. Ti is precious, after all."
Even Rei Ao himself felt a bit of anticipation.
"A date… But Rei Ao-kun, you still haven't followed through on my trade."
Suddenly, Kasuga Hijiri's voice called out from behind him.
[Ding! Trade complete!]
"A-again?!"
Lilith Asami, who had just managed to calm her magic after her breakdown, arrived at the scene—and practically lost it again.
A second ago, it was Lieselotte's turn; now Kasuga Hijiri was the one getting a kiss? The man really was… deserving of divine punishnt!
"Ugh, Lilith, don't interfere," Levi Kazama said, teleporting in front of her to block her view, preventing her from going berserk again.
"Would you two stop with all this kissing already!"
Besides Lilith, there was soone else who couldn't stand Rei Ao's constant smooching: Mira Yamana. Her face turned red as she pointed at him, clearly upset.
"Demon King, tell us why you've shown up at the Royal Biblia Academy with your underlings!"
Lieselotte chuckled, batting her eyelashes.
"Pfft. Hey, that guy you're pointing at can blow up the world in one breath if he wants. He's the Demon King. You sure you want to take that tone?"
"You…"
Mira's face turned an unpleasant shade of greenish-blue. Akio Fudō patted her shoulder, indicating she shouldn't act rashly. First, they had to figure out what this Demon King's intentions really were.
"Sis…"
Selina, standing off to the side, had no idea how to persuade her sister to co back.
"Selina, get over here," Lieselotte called. "Co be a Demon Queen with under the Demon King~"
"Selina, snap out of it!" Mira Yamana warned, bracing herself.
Amid all the tension, Selina fidgeted nervously before bowing deeply to the four of them.
"I'm sorry!"
Then, apologizing loudly, she ran straight for her sister.
"Husband, I just reeled in a new Demon Queen for you. Don't you think I deserve a little reward?"
Lieselotte stroked Selina's cheek as if to take credit. Rei Ao, who had just co up for air after kissing Kasuga Hijiri, sweatdropped.
"You talk like they're our enemies."
"Aren't they?"
Lieselotte blinked innocently, batting her lashes. Rei Ao rolled his eyes, then addressed Mira Yamana and the others in a more formal tone.
He cleared his throat:
"Allow to introduce myself. I'm Rei Ao—the Demon King you've been talking about, and Hijiri's future husband. I an no harm; I'm just here to get a whiff of Hijiri's nice scent."
He leaned over and took a deep breath of the soft spot at Kasuga Hijiri's neck.
"Mmm… She has the sweetest little milky aroma."
Everyone else stood there, flabbergasted.
