Ramiris released the nine thousand survivors and three million Cursed Children from the labyrinth.
They have now all been transferred to this world, becoming its new residents, and will live here from now on, within Rei Ao's empire.
The nine thousand survivors, under temporary supervision, beca provisional citizens of the Imperial Capital.
As for the three million Cursed Children, Rei Ao explained everything to the confused girls. Using the new ability he had obtained, "Gene Cipher," he modified and perfected the genes of all the Cursed Children.
From this day on, the Gastrea genes would no longer have any negative effects.
As for the matter of everyone settling here, his plan was to build a new city for the Cursed Children, managed jointly by Seitenshi, Kayo Senju, and a few others from the Black Bullet world who were also in the chat group, making it a place for the Cursed Children to live – and, of course, another part of Rei Ao's harem.
This trip into the world of Aihara Enju has yielded quite a lot for him:
[Na]: Rei Ao
[Level]: 67
[Abilities]: [Freeze], [Self], [True Sight], [Conversion], [Protection], [Demon King], [Divine Soul], [Spirit King], [Cognitive Disappearance], [Sword Aura Mastery], [Crimson Dragon God], [Gene Cipher], [Ti & Causality Interference], [Inherent Device: Kill of All Things/Forms?]
[Possessions]: [Grimoire: Ilia's Fragnts], [Grimoire: Astir's Manuscript], [Awakening Stones ×2]
[Note]: Even a dazzling star is but a plaything at your fingertips.
Aside from gaining new abilities, he also leveled up. Most importantly, by killing innurable lifeforms on an entire planet, he collected quite a number of souls. But it still seems he has not reached the conditions for activating his Divine Soul ability. For now, he can only wait for further chances to gather holy souls.
Once he arranged matters there, Rei Ao didn't linger long, choosing to return to his own world without delay.
Upon arriving ho, he noticed sothing odd:
A repeated voice calling "Emilia…Emilia…"
But the voice was coming from an old phone. The problem was that the phone was not only broken but had no battery power at all – so how could it be speaking?
"Emilia, if you can hear , please respond…"
The owner of that voice seed insistent, so Rei Ao picked up the phone and said, "Hello."
"…"
…
Another world.
The Holy Cross Continent.
Ente Isla.
In so corner of a library, a green-haired girl's face changed. She had clearly been trying to contact Emilia, but a man's voice answered. Just as she was about to give up and sever the connection, that voice ca again:
"Hello, you're looking for Emilia, right? She's here at ho."
"!!"
The girl's eyes went wide. The man apparently knew Emilia. She hesitated, unsure whether to reply – it could be a trap. But then Rei Ao spoke again:
"You must be a friend of Emilia's on Ente Isla, yes? Let introduce myself: I'm Rei Ao. Emilia's landlord in this world. I offered her shelter not too long ago."
"…"
The girl mulled it over in silence for a few monts, then responded:
"I'm Eralda Etuva," she said. Actually, she was the royal court spellcaster of the Western Continent's Holy Saint Aire Empire, once captured by Demon General Lucifer.
She had encountered the Hero, Emilia, and beco her companion, reputed as humanity's strongest spellcaster.
She was a petite figure with short, fluffy, curly green hair and matching green eyes, wearing grand robes dyed in bright red and orange, with the empire's crest embroidered in gold thread on the back. She was also familiar with Ente Isla's political climate.
"Rei Ao-san, we can't maintain this connection, and I don't know if I can trust you. But please warn Emilia…don't trust the Church!"
"Zzt…zzt…"
With that statent, the link broke.
"Being held under house arrest, maybe?" Rei Ao pinched his chin. He had so impression of Emilia's companions, plus he knew the Church of Ente Isla wasn't a good organization that sincerely cared for humanity.
That evening, when Emilia returned ho from work, Rei Ao went to her room.
"What…what are you doing?"
Emilia tensed up, seeing him step in. It was her first ti letting a man into her private space; already having learned about Rei Ao's complicated web of relationships, she grew extra cautious.
"Nothing in particular, just wanted to tell you sothing."
Rei Ao casually sat beside her, so close that his arm and face brushed her body, making her entire form go taut. Then he spoke:
"Eralda Etuva."
"???"
Emilia froze – that was her companion's na! "How do you know that na?" she asked, suspicious.
"Earlier this afternoon, a woman calling herself Eralda, your friend, tried to contact you by ans of a magic device using this phone."
He handed her the phone, and Emilia accepted it in excitent. But no matter what she did, there was no reply. She could only ask Rei Ao, "Did she say anything?"
Rei Ao shook his head. "All she said was to warn you not to trust the Church – nothing else. Probably, she couldn't sustain a long-distance, cross-world connection."
"…"
Emilia looked perplexed. Don't trust the Church? She couldn't begin to guess what that ant.
Knowing how abrupt that seed, Rei Ao gave a wry smile. "I figure you're confused, so you should probably ask her in person."
"…But I don't know how to contact Eralda. I can't cast any spells without my holy power."
Emilia hung her head, sounding utterly dejected. She felt useless this way. At that, Rei Ao reached over, his right hand lightly tipping up Emilia's smooth chin:
"Actually, I can restore your holy power if you want."
