Kurata Yui: "Find ...and then...kill …"
Asami Lilith: "Kill—? What kind of sick joke is that?! Even if we don't really know who you are, we're not going to hurt you!"
Kazama Levi: "No. Killing her is one way to settle this problem."
"What?"
Lilith stared at Kazama Levi in disbelief—killing soone was no small thing.
Levi remained calm. "We could try sealing her magic or suppressing its out-of-control surge. But if none of that works, killing her is the only way to stop the Collapse."
"She may sound cold," Fudou Akio chid in, "but she's just being realistic."
"In that case, let's head down to the dungeon," Akio suggested.
"Wait a second."
Kasuga Hijiri suddenly spoke up.
"Maybe I have another way."
"Huh?"
Everyone turned to her, curious about her plan. But she didn't say anything else—instead, she quietly opened the group chat on her phone.
Kasuga Hijiri: "@Rei Ao, Rei Ao-nii—did you see the ssages in the chat?"
Rei Ao: "Yeah, I saw them."
Frieren: "What, what? Is Sothing big happening again?"
Kasuga Hijiri: "Yup. One of the mages here lost control of her magic, causing a Collapse that could potentially put the entire world to sleep."
Miko Yotsuya: "The… entire world could fall asleep?! That's huge—I an, terrifying!"
Aka: "This is a disaster."
Hiiragi Shinoa: "Oh my, looks like they're calling on Rei Ao for help again."
Rei Ao: "Kurata Yui's situation is definitely a crisis for your world. But with the Demon King factor that you, Lieselotte, and Selena possess, fixing this should be pretty straightforward."
Kasuga Hijiri: "Hehe… guess I'm busted."
Saeko Busujima: "?"
Erica: "Sothing's off—this feels like a setup!"
Stella: "Oh, cut it out with the 'setup.' Hijiri is Rei Ao's Demon Queen—no sche here."
Erica: "Uh… sorry. I just blurted it out without thinking."
Bibi Dong: "I think she just misses Rei Ao, that's all."
Kasuga Hijiri: "Mhm, I really do miss Big Bro Qing, so… do you have ti?"
Rei Ao: "Next ti, just tell straight up, no need to hide it. I've got all the ti in the world. Let's just make the deal."
Rei Ao: "By the way, if anyone else wants to co over to Hijiri's world for a visit, let know."
After wrapping up so matters for Kaguya, Ai Hayasaka—about to head to school—paused in surprise when she saw the exchange.
Ai Hayasaka: "Um… this Kasuga Hijiri-san is from a different world than ours?"
Miyuki Shiba: "Yes. Hijiri, you, and I are all from different worlds."
Ai Hayasaka: "If that's the case, then how could other people go et him?"
Rei Ao: "Didn't I ntion it? I have permission to bring others with when I travel to our group mbers' worlds."
Ai Hayasaka: "..."
Traveling between worlds? Once again, Ai was completely shaken. Could this really be true?
Yatogami Tohka: "The outside world...what's it like, I wonder?"
Rei Ao: "Well, sitting around wondering won't do anything. Why not see it for yourself?"
Yatogami Tohka: "? But I'm stuck in a neighboring dinsion, unable to move."
Rei Ao: "Hey, you won't know until you try."
Yatogami Tohka: "But my presence will trigger a Spacequake and cause a catastrophe."
Rei Ao: "Spacequakes are no big deal for . I can handle it so no one's in danger."
Yatogami Tohka: "...Alright, then. Please help !"
Ai Hayasaka: "Excuse … could I go to another world too?"
In the end, Ai asked the question she'd been holding in. She wanted to see for herself if this was all real.
Rei Ao: "Of course. But don't you still have school? Are you planning to ditch class?"
Ai Hayasaka: "I'll take the day off."
"Miss Kaguya, my head feels a bit dizzy. Could you help request a day off?" Ai asked just as Kaguya got into the car.
"Huh?"
Kaguya looked worried. "Ai, are you okay? Maybe you should see a doctor!"
"Yeah, I plan to go to the hospital. Also, I'd like to get away for the day to relax. Would that be alright, Miss Kaguya?" Ai bowed deeply.
"Alright then, but make sure you go to the hospital. I'll let you have the day off."
Hearing that Ai would be going to a hospital eased Kaguya's mind—her biggest worry was always that Ai might be sick and refuse to get dical help.
"Ai, please take care of yourself."
"I will, Miss Kaguya."

Everyone looked at Kasuga Hijiri in stunned silence.
Yamana Mira twitched her mouth. "So that's your brilliant plan?"
"Well, it's certainly convenient…" she added.
"No."
Kannazuki Arin fixed her gaze on Hijiri. "That's not her plan. The person in the chat said that she, Lieselotte, and Selena could resolve this Collapse on their own."
"Haha, she just wants to see her boyfriend," joked Fudou Akio, who suddenly moved over to Kasuga Hijiri's side and nudged her knee, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. "Hey, what's it like having a boyfriend? Is it really that fun?"
Kasuga Hijiri blinked her bright eyes. She was about to speak when a voice broke in:
"Well, if you're curious, why not see for yourself?"
Everyone's eyes snapped to the sa spot. Rei Ao appeared, along with a blond-haired girl—Ai Hayasaka. Rei Ao was the one who spoke.
Fudou Akio paused in surprise, then grinned. "You know, I've been wanting to try it out. But I've never t a guy I actually liked—none of them could beat in a fight."
She stared intently at Rei Ao.
"You, on the other hand, are the only man who's ever beaten . Interested in giving it a shot?"
"What are you even talking about?!" Yamana Mira burst out before Rei Ao could answer.
"Hahaha, chill, I'm only joking." Akio waved her hand, still laughing.
"Huh? Wait a minute—what's that?" Suddenly, Akio's eyes darted to the sky. Floating above them was a woman clad in armor.
Buzzz!!!
In the next mont, ripples spread through the air.
"Bzzz—bzzz—bzzz!!!"
A powerful vibration shook the space around them.
A Spacequake!
