Futaba nodded quietly to herself.
"Heh, I won't deny that," Rei Ao said with a smile as he sat down, pulling Sora and Ilia onto his lap. He then casually rested his arm across the three of them.
"But the smile I had earlier was just because I felt relieved seeing how well you're all getting along."
Mai eyed him suspiciously. "So why do I feel there was a certain dirty secret in that grin of yours just now?"
Rei Ao suddenly put on a strange expression. "Oh? You noticed?"
"???"
He sighed. "Well, I was just thinking, since you all have such a good relationship now, maybe one of these days we could find some time to try sleeping together under one big blankethave a party or something."
"Huh???"
Mai froze. This guy's brain really only thinks about that sort of thing.
But what shocked her even more was the reaction from Sora and the others.
Tohru was the first to voice support: "Darling, I have no problem with that at all. If it's what you want, I'm in~"
She was practically batting her eyes so flirtatiously it was as if silk threads were trailing behind them.
Sora and Ilia also chimed in enthusiastically, "We're fine with it too!"
You could say their reactions might be explained by the fact that they're not human.
That left only Mai and Futaba.
In truth, Mai had already done it together with Tohru, Sora, and Ilia once before.
But... Futaba
Facing this "classmate," Mai felt a kind of embarrassment she couldn't quite convey to a normal person.
She couldn't help glancing toward Futaba. The other girl's face was flushed, her heartbeat racing, as she mumbled shyly, "If it's with Rei Ao-kun I can do it too."
" "
Mai knew it was over. Everyone in the household had fallen for him. Under these circumstances, even if she tried to stand firm, she'd probably just be the one tearing her hair out in the end.
She could already imagine Rei Ao and the others going at it like crazy without her, grinning at her frustration. Ugh.
Mai was furious at herself for being so weak-willed. How did her body come to fit Rei Ao's shape so completely that she simply couldn't do without him?
Resigned, Mai saw Rei Ao's smug, conniving look right then, and her anger flared up again. In the end, everything would go his wayand he really was the type to "lick the peach" or even smack it with his hand, apparently.
She wasn't about to let him be so pleased with himself, so she abruptly brought up something else:
"Rei Ao, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you."
"What is it?"
"There's now an official 'Anti-R18 Alliance' in the chat group, specifically targeting you."
"Huh?"
Rei Ao blinked.
Tohru chimed in, "That's right; Stella is the one leading it."
"Oh?"
He hadn't noticed at all, busy as he was doing something pleasant. So he opened the chat group to scroll through the messages. Sure enough, he discovered the Anti-R18 Alliance.
It was started by Stella:
Stella: "Everyone, for the sake of a wholesome, healthy, and refreshing chat environment, I've decided to do something big!"
Sakurajima Mai: "I advise you not to start any trouble. Otherwise Rei Ao might just ban you permanently or something."
Stella: "I'm not making trouble. I'm just thinking of everyone's good chat environment."
Akame: "What are you trying to do?"
Stella: "Ahem, I hereby announce the establishment of the 'Anti-R18 Alliance' in our chat group!"
Stella: "Are you troubled by the frequent adult content in the chat? Do you feel ashamed? Do you feel at a loss?"
Stella: "If so, come join my Anti-R18 Alliance and let's stand against those lewd discussions together, restoring our chat to a bright and clean place!"
Busujima Saeko: ""
Yomogawa Ayame: "Sorry I'm not really bothered."
Sui: "So strange. Is anyone really going to join?"
Mabel: "I'll join!!!"
Stella: "Great! Anyone else?!"
Misaka Mikoto: "Count me in."
Though Rei Ao's recent massive revelations had shaken Mikoto, she still had to hold her ground somehow. She wasn't completely beaten, and she did have to keep tabs on various info.
Yukinoshita Yukino: "I support you as well."
Shiba Miyuki: "Mmh, those R18 topics really are embarrassing I-I'll join too."
Stella: "You see? This is what the people want!"
Rei Ao: "Hmm? 'What the people want?'"
He certainly had a response.
Rei Ao: "I declare the founding of the Must-Be-Lewd Alliance, whose main principle is that we must talk about lewd things. Anyone want to join?"
Tohru: "Me!!!"
Busujima Saeko: "I'm in."
That was a real call to arms. In mere moments, practically everyone except for a few who hadn't spoken.
Rei Ao: "Fourteen to five. Who's really got the people's support? Besides, the other group chats are all backing me 100%, and I haven't even counted their votes yet."
Stella: " "
She was speechless. Then she turned to look at Kurogane Shizuku.
Shizuku just smiled sweetly: "Of course I'll support my beloved."
Only at that point did Stella realize that unknowingly, Rei Ao had already won over more than ninety percent of the chat group. She'd lostlost completely and utterly.
Stella: "Darn it"
Rei Ao: "Haha, best to accept it. R18 content is the real engine driving discussion in this chat."
Rei Ao: "And I'm not one to spill your secrets, but every time you shout about banning lewd content, Stella, you're the loudest voice."
Rei Ao: "Yet whenever I stream something R18 over here, you rush into the stream fastestand you never leave until it's done."
Rei Ao: "Don't tell me you're, like, watching the stream while you?"
Stella: "Y-you're lying! I-I'd never do something like that!"
Having her secret exposed so openly, Stella's face flushed red as if running a fever, and she practically jumped around in distress. Everyone could see that Rei Ao had nailed it.
Yukinoshita Yukino had a dark line on her forehead.
So the ringleader who started this so-called "revolution" was actually a pervert.
And just like that, right after it was created, the alliance scattered like dust.
Rei Ao gave a casual, soft laugh.
"Ah, Stella-chan. You're still green."

""
The room was unusually quiet.
Satania maintained a healthy routinewhen it was time to sleep, she would sleep well.
"Knock, knock!"
Just then, someone knocked on her bedroom door.
"Satania, I have something I want to talk to you about. May I come in?"
It was Vignette.
"Vigne?"
Satania, puzzled, sat up and turned on the light. "Come on in."
Click.
Vignette, wearing light-purple pajamas and hugging a pillow, entered the room.
"Vigne, why are you still up so late? What do you want to talk about?"
Satania was very curious.
Vignette spoke hesitantly, somewhat embarrassed. "I wanted to ask you something aboutabout Rei Ao."
"Eh? Sensei?"
Before long
Vignette and Satania lay together under the same blanket, whispering in the dark. Vignette had specifically asked Satania to turn off the light, or she wouldn't have been able to bring it up.
In the darkness
Vignette asked, "Um, Satania, do you really know what you were doing with Rei Ao earlier?"
"Mm Sensei was teaching me to become a great demon."
"No, you two werekissing!"
Vignette couldn't help protesting, "A kiss is something only people who like each other do. You can't just do it randomly."
"Satania, don't you think you were tricked?"
""
Silence filled the room.
Vignette herself wasn't entirely sure what feelings drove her to try to make Satania see reason.
Was it as a friend?
Was it as a succubus?
Or was there a faint hint ofjealousy even she hadn't noticed?
She didn't know.
But she'd already said it, and there was no going back.
Just when Vignette thought Satania might realize that Rei Ao had crossed a line with her
Satania spoke in a mosquito-sized voice, "Um Vigne, actually, II like Sensei, too."
"Huh?"
Vignette was taken aback.
Satania shrank back, embarrassed.
"And Sensei's kisses feel so good. My bodymy body gets so happy. It's likelikeumm"
"???"
Vignette understood, because she could sense the intense warmth emanating from Satania's body and hear her rapid breathing.
Then, Satania suddenly sat up.
"II'm going to the bathroom for a second!"
Wearing slippers, Satania hurried out of the room, looking extremely flustered.
""
Vignette waited for a long while.
But Satania didn't come back.
"Satania?"
Confused, Vignette got up, planning to see what was taking Satania so long.
She stepped out of the room.
She could faintly see light coming from the bathroom.
But everything else was still unusually quiet, so she cautiously moved closer.
When she was just a few steps away
"!!!"
Vignette heard a soft moaning sound.
Peeking through the gap in the door, she sawSatania, eyes half-lidded, performing some sort of shameful ritual!
Realizing what was happening, Vignette's face instantly flamed red.
Satania was actually
Overcome by intense embarrassment, Vignette felt tingles all over, as if ants were crawling across her skin, and dashed back to the bedroom.
In the end, she realized she'd just stuck her nose in where it didn't belong!
Butbut could it really feel that good?
With Satania's muffled moans echoing faintly in her ears, Vignette found herself sinking into a deep fog of confusion.
Maybe she shouldn't have come to Satania after all.
Morning arrived.
A new day didn't really lift Yukino's spiritsespecially after stepping out the door and seeing a haggard face.
She noticed Mabel lying on the sofa, exhausted, her eyelids drooping.
Yukino frowned slightly.
"Mabel, were you up all night?"
"Ugh I didn't sleep at all"
Mabel replied weakly.
"Why didn't you sleep?"
"Uh"
At this question, she let out a pitiful whimper, looking as if she might burst into tears at any second. "II was scared Rei Ao would come and harass me."
""
Only then did Yukino remember that Rei Ao had mentioned coming over last night. And he hadn't shown upmaybe he'd forgotten.
"Boo hooI was so worried all night I couldn't sleep"
Mabel began to cry.
But Yukino noticed that beneath her translucent nightgown, Mabel was wearing some very revealing lingeriedefinitely something she wouldn't usually wear.
""
If she was so scared, why wear something so suggestive?
More like she was hoping Rei Ao would actually come by.
Yukino felt she'd seen right through Mabel.
Not wanting to dwell on it, Yukino went off to brush her teeth, get dressed, and head to school.
Sure enough, she wasn't wrong.
Mabel's emotions were tangled between fear of the pain from the first time and anticipation of that blissful, floating-on-clouds feeling that she couldn't forget.
A little while later
All set to leave, Yukino saw that Mabel had fallen asleep on the sofa. She decided not to wake her and quietly prepared to leave.
While changing her shoes at the entrance, she suddenly heard Mabel talking in her sleep.
"Uh Rei Ao stop that's not okay faster"
Yukino froze for a moment, looking up to find Mabel's face flushed as she sleep-talked. With that expression, she could already guess what kind of dream Mabel was having.
With a silent click of her tongue, Yukino didn't want more of this odd influence. She quickly slipped on her shoes, tiptoed out, and hurried away.
But fate has its ways.
The one person she didn't want to see was exactly the person she was most likely to run into.
The moment Yukino stepped out, she ran into Rei Ao, who was leaving the next-door apartment at the same time.
"Morning."
Rei Ao greeted her first.
Following behind him was Mai, who also nodded politely.
"Good morning."
Yukino had no choice but to return the greeting.
"It's quite a coincidence we're both leaving now. Shall we head to school together?" Rei Ao asked casually.
""
She couldn't find a reason to refuse such an ordinary invitation.
"Sure."
The three of them walked in silence. Yukino felt like a third wheel next to Rei Ao and Mai, who were holding hands. She wished they wouldn't speak to her until they reached schooljust a peaceful walk.
Yet things rarely go as one wishes.
Rei Ao, as if just remembering something, started talking. "I forgot to drop by and see Mabel last night."
""
Of course, Yukino was well aware.
"But," Rei Ao continued, "do you mind if I stop by your place tonight? I just want to make sure she's behaving properly."
Yukino looked at Rei Ao for a good while and finally gave a resigned nod.
"All right."
"Great, then it's settled."

Chapter 295: Defeat, Yukino's Cooking? (Bonus Chapter)
Late evening.
Right on schedule, Fumino Furuhashi, Rizu Ogata, and Mafuyu Kirisu arrived.
Because of Rizu Ogata's previous "disappearance," Mafuyu Kirisu had decided she had to keep a close eye on them. After all, if something really did happen one day, shebeing the teacher in charge of their study groupwouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
However
Compared to before, the two students were clearly much less focused on their studies today.
Rizu Ogata had learned many things about Rei Ao from the group chat. If she hadn't personally visited another world herself, she would never have imagined that the scene from yesterday's livestreamlike something straight out of a film, with people burning alivereally happened in that other world. Yet according to everyone in the group chat, those people were apparently man-eating demons.
She also never would have imagined that the pleasant and easy-going Rei Ao right in front of her was capable of killing without batting an eye, like some sort of demon king straight out of a movie. So, seeing him now blending so normally into their environment gave her a sense of unreality.
Rizu Ogata found herself a bit confused about which side was the "real" Rei Ao:
Was it the gentle and reliable one?
The cold and cruel one?
Or perhapsboth?
At the same time, Rizu Ogata had come to understand the true nature of the so-called "trade" in the group. Under her glasses, her gaze flickered toward Rei Ao. She was grateful that he had taken the initiative to bring her back. If it really had been a simple exchange, thenshe probably had nothing to trade except her body itself. And thinking about that possibilitythose shameful images in her mindmade Rizu's breathing grow erratic.
