Hearing that her Master was going to avenge her, Satania sprang off Rei Ao's lap, excitent radiating from every pore as she spun around in the living room.
"Aweso! Gabriel, you just wait!"
She waved her fist, tears still lingering on her face but already beaming brightly.
"This ti, I'll make sure she kneels before and calls 'Satania-sama'!"
Vignette, worried, spoke up:
"Satania, you should keep revenge within reason…"
"Vignette, you're way too kind-hearted!"
Satania put her hands on her hips, pouting like a child.
"Against an evil fallen angel like Gabriel, we need to strike hard."
Rei Ao stood, patting Satania's head.
"All right, first go wash your face. Then we'll discuss our plan in detail."
"Mm!"
Satania nodded vigorously, hopping off toward the washroom, not a trace of her earlier sobbing ltdown in sight. Vignette watched her go, then said softly,
"Thank you, Rei Ao-kun. She's been so upset these past few days…"
"She is my student, after all,"
Rei Ao replied with a small smile.
"Besides, sobody needs to put Gabriel in her place from ti to ti."
"Right… By the way, Vigne, how are you doing on living expenses these days? If you need to earn so money, I happen to have ti today."
Rei Ao switched topics abruptly.
"Eh?"
Vignette instantly grasped the aning—he was hinting at… that thod of "earning money."
"U-um…"
Recalling the eavesdropping incident from before, Vignette blushed and lowered her head.
"N-no need. I can still manage my current expenses."
"All right."
Rei Ao shrugged.
"But rember, you can co any ti. Mai and the others are still excited knowing you're listening."
"Wha—?!"
Like she'd heard sothing forbidden, Vignette's mind went blank. Just then, Satania ca back from washing her face and spotted Vignette's odd behavior.
"Master, what's wrong with Vignette?"
Rei Ao chuckled.
"It's nothing. I just asked if she needed money for her rent."
"Money for living expenses!"
Hearing that, Satania's eyes shone.
"Right! Gabriel beat and won all my money in those contests, so I'm totally broke!"
Suddenly reminded of her tight finances, she raised her hand like a child in class:
"Master, please let earn so living expenses too!"
"Sure. Tonight, you can sleep in the living room. I'll get you a pillow and blanket."
Without further ado, Rei Ao agreed. It was precisely the outco he'd hoped for—ti to begin "tutoring" his little demon.
"Woohoo!"
Satania cheered, while Vignette fretted.
"Satania, we can't just—"
She wanted to dissuade her from such a bizarre plan—secretly overhearing those shaful nightly sessions. But she couldn't say it out loud and was cut off mid-sentence as Satania grabbed her hand.
"Vigne, you want more money too, right? Let's do it together!"
"I…"
Vignette knew she ought to refuse. But seeing the look in Satania's expectant eyes, she found herself whispering:
"…All right."
"Yes!"
Satania exulted. Rei Ao, observing the scene, gave a contented smile. Sure enough, using Satania was the quickest way to sway Vignette.
...
Nightti
Satania and Vignette lay on the large sofa in the living room. In the darkness, they listened quietly, hearts racing, waiting for that all-too-familiar "soundtrack" to begin. Before long, it did start.
The first voice was… Sora?
Vignette's cheeks grew hot. She couldn't believe that tiny girl could be so… well, it was hard to describe. She felt ashad of herself for being involved. Then she noticed Satania stirring.
"Mm…"
"Huh…?"
Vignette realized—Satania was at it again?! She wasn't even trying to hide it, ignoring Vignette's presence…
So bold! Vignette's thoughts spun. Is that really so pleasurable? She found herself curious yet too shy to try.
...
In the bedroom
Emilia, face flushed, glared at Rei Ao in outrage.
"You're unbelievable…"
Seeing Sora bullied, and then being dragged in herself—she didn't know how to scold this awful man anymore. He was simply inhuman!
"What's so shocking?"
Rei Ao flashed a mischievous grin.
"I'm showing you all plenty of affection."
"Tch… oh, right,"
Emilia huffed.
He turned abruptly:
"Emilia, how about switching into your Hero form? I think it'd be more fun that way."
"Huh? Why?!"
She was at a loss.
"Why do we have to do that, now?!"
At that, Tohru tilted her head, then smacked her fist in realization:
"Got it. Rei Ao-kun wants the thrill of conquering a 'Hero'?"
Her comnt made the others understand. Futaba mused:
"Being subdued as a brave Hero type… does sound interesting."
Mai rolled her eyes.
"Must we do it that way every ti?"
In response, Rei Ao nodded gravely.
"Yes—we're at a new 2.0 upgrade for speed, you see."
All eyes turned to Emilia.
"I…"
She could feel them all staring, and she teetered on the edge of an outburst.
"Fine, fine—I get it!"
Ultimately, she gave in. With a flash of white, Emilia's hair turned silver and her outfit into a Hero's attire. Right then, Sora had finished up her turn, so it fell to Emilia to beco Rei Ao's next target.
"C're, my Hero."
"Wait, my armor—"
"Let remove it personally—makes it feel more ceremonial."
"Eh?!"
