Even now, she kept throwing timid glances Rei Ao's way, her eyes filled with indescribable terror.
"!!!"
Meeting his gaze was like a small animal shrinking back in fright.

Chapter 289: Pet, Trade Complete! Now onto the best part!
Compared to other demons
The female demon, with a decent appearance and figureplus her fearful demeanoractually made Rei Ao even more interested.
"You, come here."
The female demon who was called out trembled.
Under everyone's gaze, she had no choice but to brace herself and walk step by step to Rei Ao.
The moment she arrived, she knelt and lowered her head.
"Your Majesty the Demon King! Don't kill me! I can do anything!!!"
Even witnessing this Demon King slaughter countless demons hadn't frightened her before.
But the vast, boundless manalike an ocean with no shoresuddenly made this emotionless demon experience true fear for the first time.
Because her magic specialty is tied to mana, her sensitivity to mana far surpasses that of other demons.
Only she could deeply realize just how terrifying Rei Ao's presence was.
Even the former Demon King seemed as insignificant as an ant before him.
"Raise your head," Rei Ao said calmly.
"!"
The female demon quickly obeyed.
Then she saw the Demon King she instinctively feared place his hand on her horn, sliding downward until finally resting on her cheek.
"Introduce yourself."
"I am Aura, one of the Seven Sages of Destruction directly under the Demon King, titled 'Aura the Guillotine.' My specialty is 'Auserlese'!"
Aura revealed everything about herself without reservation.
Rei Ao was very satisfied.
This Aura was indeed the one he rememberedsomeone who liked to "play the violin."
"Auserlese" uses an "Scales of Obedience" to place her soul and her opponent's soul on two sides of the scale. Whichever side has greater mana forces the other side into submission.
"So it seems you really like controlling others?"
""
Aura dared not speak.
"I'll give you a chance to live. How about becoming my pet from now on?"
"!!!"
Hearing that she could live, Aura hardly hesitated. She lifted her clothing, revealing her bellymuch like an animal exposing its stomach in surrender.
"I want to live!"
Whether she was a servant of the Demon King or his pet didn't seem all that different. Aura promptly chose submission.
"I like your decisiveness."
Under the curious gazes of Frieren and Shiba Miyuki, Rei Ao lightly touched Aura's abdomen with his finger.
The moment it made contact, her smooth skin recoiled sensitively. Then, on that fair skin, a red, seductive, heart-shaped pattern gradually appeared.
Yotsuya Miko: "Um, I feel like I just saw somethingunwholesome."
Tohru: "Isn't it just a magic seal? Why call it unwholesome?"
Kato Megumi: "She's probably talking about the shape and location of that seal."
Busujima Saeko: "In our world, that's an erotic mark."
Yomogawa Ayame: "Erotic? How do you use it?"
Hiiragi Shinoa: "You don't really 'use' it. It just stays there. Maybe when you guys are 'plowing,' it'll prompt Rei Ao to go all-out."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "???"
Sui: "Your explanationsounds so strange."
Hiiragi Shinoa: "It's easy enough to understand, isn't it?"
Izawa Shizue: "It's weird, yes, but I do get what you mean."
Akame: "So Rei Ao has taken a slave, right?"
Yotsuya Miko: "Huh?"
Kasugano Saki: "What Akame said is even weirder."
Seeing the chat group messages, Frieren asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to finish her off?"
"No need. She has to obey me now. Keeping her as a pet is fine, and I also want to see how the chat group treats a demon who has submitted to me but can't be brought along."
Rei Ao truly did reach out and pet Aura's head, as though she were just a pet.
Currently, although the chat group can travel across worlds, he can't bring living people back with him. This time's deal was to make demons disappear from this worldso he wanted to see how Aura's case would be handled.
Since Rei Ao said it was all right, Frieren didn't say anything more. Regardless, the day's harvest was already huge: the Demon King was dead, and countless demons had been eliminated. If she had tried it alone, she had no idea how far she could have gottenlikely never to this extent.
Rei Ao was in an especially good mood at having picked up a "pet." Aura, too, seemed eager to please, actually licking his fingers like a dog.
""
That scene made Shiba Miyuki blush deeplyAura's expression and the movements of her tongue were just too suggestive.
After a while, Toudou Touka transformed into a bolt of lightning and slashed the opposing demon, which couldn't react in time, in half.
"Huffhah"
She herself was panting. Demons were far more troublesome than any human she'd dueled before, because each of their attacks had been aimed at her vulnerabilities, trying to kill her in one blow. In most duels, one fights to winnot to kill. This was a rare instance where Toudou Touka genuinely fought to kill her opponent.
"This is as far as you go, Touka. That's enough."
"Mm."
Although Toudou Touka wanted to push further, her stamina was at its limit.
"Wait"
Just then, the other demons sensed danger. Their faces changed drastically.
Especially when they saw Rei Ao's playful smilean omen that their deaths were imminent!
"No, Demon King, we surrender!"
They tried to stop the coming slaughter.
But Rei Ao gave them no chance.
"Sorry, but I only need one pet."
Crack!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shiba Miyuki felt a chill sweep through her skin, penetrating her flesh and all the way to her soul. When she looked over again, only six lifelike ice sculptures remained, their faces twisted in terror.
Crack!
A moment later, those ice sculptures shattereddemons and allinto nothing but shards of ice.
"!!!"
Seeing that, Aura's entire body quivered violently. As a demon, she had never experienced such fear.
After destroying the last of those higher-ranking demons, Rei Ao waited in silence.
Before long, the chat group chimed:
[Ding! Trade complete!]
At that, Rei Ao finally smiled. "Looks like the chat group classified my 'pet' as my property."
"Phew"
Upon seeing the notification, Frieren also let out a breath, as though a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
"Now there shouldn't be any demons left in this world besides her."
Having accomplished the greatest goal of her life, she felt a hint of confusion at what to do next. Yet Rei Ao's next words left her momentarily speechless.
"Well then, it's time for the final step of our deal. Shall we do it here in the castle?"
Frieren, whose hand he had already taken, blinked her clear eyes and said softly, "At least it's not outside."

Chapter 290: Like a Blooming Flower
Inside the Demon King's castle.
Rei Ao's appreciative gaze swept across every inch of Frieren's bare skin.
Under such a heated stare, Frieren could only tilt her head slightly. "Is there something on me?"
She didn't have any strong sense of shyness or embarrassment.
"No, I'm just marveling at how perfect an elf you are, Frieren."
This old thing is simply too cute. I want it
Frieren blinked her clear, wide eyes. "But there's a lot I don't understand. For example, can that really fit inside?"
She pointed toward Rei Ao's position.
Only upon seeing it with her own eyes did she realize just how daunting it was. That seems like the only way to describe it.
Rei Ao looked at Frieren's body, white like a snow, and after pinching his chin thoughtfully, he said, "You truly have no experience in this area, so I'll have Aura give you a little demonstration."
"Aura."
"Yes, Master!"
Aura came right over, obediently.
She didn't understand anything either, but as a well-trained pet, letting him do as he wished was enough.
Before long, Frieren wore a shocked expression. "So it really can go in?"
Outside the castle.
Shiba Miyuki and Toudou Touka stood alone in an open area.
Both looked a bit ill at ease.
Just moments ago, Rei Ao had gone into the Demon King's castle with Frieren and Aura and hadn't emerged since.
They had been in the chat group long enough to know exactly what Rei Ao and Frieren intended to do.
Even imagining it left Shiba Miyuki and Toudou Touka feeling extremely bashful.
And so an awkward silence stretched on.
After a while, Shiba Miyuki reached up with slender fingers to brush aside the wind-tossed strands of hair on her flushed cheeks.
She felt that letting the awkwardness continue would be bad.
So she spoke up: "Um, Toudou Touka-san, would you care for a little sparring match?"
"Huh?"
Toudou Touka blinked in surprise.
She looked at Miyuki questioningly.
Seeing that the other party was serious, she knew how to respond.
"Sure, let's do it."
"How does it feel, Frieren?"
"Hmm, I don't really know how to describe it. It's probably the first time I've had such a strange sensation. No wonder, when I watched Ayame and the others during the livestream, their expressions were so over the top."
Leaning against Rei Ao's shoulder, Frieren was experiencing for the first time that feeling of every cell in her body cheering.
She also understood why that so-called 'plowing' is actually such an exhausting activity to watch.
But there was something on her mind.
Looking at Aura, who was diligently cleaning the battlefield ahead, she asked curiously, "Rei Ao, what kind of expression was I making just now?"
"You want to know?"
As he asked, Rei Ao's lips gently brushed against one of Frieren's pointy ears.
Elf ears really are enticing.
Whether it's Sui's ears or Frieren's, he couldn't resist the urge to take them into his mouth.
Frieren gently patted his armstill wrapped around her.
"Don't move around. My ears are very ticklish."
Rei Ao stopped teasing her ear and chuckled. "If you want to know what you looked like just now, check the chat group."
"Huh?"
Frieren opened the group chat, puzzled.
Rei Ao: "Picture"
Rei Ao: "Picture"
He posted two pictures, each showing Frieren's facebut
Stella: "??? What's this? What happened to Frieren?"
Mabel: "Wow! She's rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue. Is she about to die?"
Yomogawa Ayame: "That expression looks so familiar."
Everyone around AyameKajika and the otherswore awkward expressions.
How could it not look familiar?
That was exactly how they looked during "plowing."
Everyone in the chat group who saw Frieren's photos felt like they were staring into a mirror.
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Why are you posting pictures like that of Frieren in the chat group anyway?"
She seemed baffled.
Was this some kind of show-off?
Rei Ao: "It's nothing major. Frieren was curious about her expression a moment ago, and I just happened to save it, so I posted it."
Frieren: "It's true, just like Rei Ao said."
Frieren: "I never imagined I'd look like that. It's a lot like Aura's face, though hers is even more over-the-top. Why is that?"
Rei Ao: "Different sensitivity levels. Plus, I was pretty much going all-out with her, while I was more gentle with yousince she's a pet."
Frieren: "Ohh, I see."
Yotsuya Miko: "Umm are we really okay discussing this here in the chat?"
Kasuga Hijiri: "Wow, you're all so bold."
Stella: "Hmph, this is nothing. Rei Ao once even live-streamed part of the group's plowing session. Set a bad example!"
Yomogawa Ayame: "Uh, sorry, that time it really wasn't on purpose."
Stella: "Right, right, the first time wasn't on purpose, but after that it definitely was!"
Busujima Saeko: "In any case, since all of us in the group are basically from different worlds, it's natural that the conversation can be more open. If it bothers you, you can just not respond. You'll get used to it."
Sui: "Indeed, I've already gotten used to it."
Stella: "Huh, that's no surprisewho knows how many times you've done it with Rei Ao!"
Sui: ""
Yotsuya Miko: "Umm, I've done it with Rei Ao too But I'll try my best to adapt!"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Some things don't necessarily require getting used to, you know."
She felt a headache coming on.
This chat group was getting weirder by the day.
Yukino rubbed her temples.
Not to mention everyone elseshe herself had gone from outright disdaining that sort of thing to feeling a resigned indifference.
She had no doubts Rei Ao would get up to even more outrageous stuff eventually.
Frieren: "By the way, when you all make that face, does it feel as amazing for you as it did for me?"
Tooru: "Of course it doesespecially because it's with my darling. Even just a kiss feels wonderful!"
Busujima Saeko: "It's the same for me and the others. That sense of climbing to the peak is addicting."
Akame: "Leone shakes all over and keeps saying, 'Don't stop.' That's one way to react."
Sui: "But the key is that it's with Rei Ao, the person I like most!"
Rei Ao: "Mhm. I like Sui, and everyone else, too."
Stella: "Hmph! That's so sappy. Ugh!"
Seeing Rei Ao's "confession," Kurogane Shizuku, who stood beside Stella, got so happy she practically glowed, which only annoyed Stella more.
Frieren: "'The person you like most,' huh"
The memory of the sea of flowers he made bloom just for her that day resurfaced in her mind. The first time she'd felt her heart beat in that strange rhythm was still fresh.
And when she connected with Rei Ao just now, that same heartbeat came again.

Chapter 291: Finished, Returning... (Bonus Chapter)
Frieren closed the chat group.
"Pfft."
She couldn't hold back and let out a laugh.
"I didn't expect my expression to be so strange. Well, mainly it's just that the feeling of comfort and stimulation was really peculiar."
