One print in particular stood out clearly.
She couldn't possibly be mistaken: the shape of those lips, and that color of lipstick that's Kurono's?!
Click!
Nene felt as though she'd discovered some earth-shattering secret.
So that "old woman" and this seemingly untouchable super-strong individual actually had a secret intimate relationship.
They sure were playing around in all sorts of ways!
Rei Ao, noticing her gaze, turned to look at her.
Their eyes met.
Nene quickly looked away.
Rei Ao just offered a knowing smile and said nothing more.
He then spoke: "I've already heard from Kurono that you both wanted to meet me. As for the reason, who wants to go first? Or perhaps introduce yourselves?"
Nene immediately looked to Edelweiss.
She wouldn't dare jump in front of someone that formidable.
Edelweiss spoke first. "Edelweiss."
She merely stated her name in brief.
Rather than formalities, she was more curious about Rei Ao himself.
Staring intently, she asked, "Do you consider yourself the strongest blazer in the world?"
But Rei Ao simply smiled.
"I think you've misunderstood something."
"You're not?"
Edelweiss frowned at what she saw as conflicting information.
In her eyes, Rei Ao was the strongest.
Yet his answer suggested otherwise.
"What I mean is, you've got the wrong idea. I'm not a blazer of this world."
"Huh?"
Not only Edelweiss, even Nene looked at him in confusion.
If he's not a blazer, could he be just an ordinary person?
Rei Ao smiled. "Because I come from another world. In my world, there's no such thing as a blazer."
"???"

Chapter 386: Decisiveness...
"..."
Saikyo Nene had thought that seeing Edelweiss appear today was already surprising enough, yet she never imagined she would also witness someone as overwhelmingly powerful as Rei Ao, a power far beyond her understanding.
And she certainly never expected that he might have some kind of relationship with her friend, Kurono.
But apparently, those matters were only small details.
Compared to Rei Ao casually revealing that he came from another world, the rest was negligible.
Another world really exists?
That was hard to believe.
Saikyo Nene dared not simply trust it.
Yet Edelweiss did.
Not only did she show no doubt, she even asked with excitement, "Are all the strong ones from that other world as powerful as you?"
Rei Ao patiently answered her questions:
"There certainly exist those stronger than I am, but in most of the worlds I've visited so far, few possess power comparable to mine."
"However, every world has its own forms of life and its own power systems."
Edelweiss grew even more excited at that moment.
With a serious expression, she said, "Could you take me to another world so I can see it for myself?"
Her intention was obvious.
"You want to challenge people from other worlds?"
"Yes."
Edelweiss felt that her sword skills had reached this world's limit, and only by facing greater strength could she push herself further.
"Hmm that's not impossible."
Rei Ao's tone shifted:
"But all of this must be based on a deal. That's my rule."
"A deal?"
Edelweiss frowned. "What do you want, money?"
"Ah, that depends on what you have to offer."
[Ding! You have selected to grant a sub-chat group for trading to the targets: Edelweiss, Saikyo Nene!]
"?"
Both of them were taken aback.
"Have a look yourselves. This is how my chat group operates. If you want to make a deal, just send a request."
Just as Rei Ao finished speaking:
[Ding! Edelweiss has sent you a trade request!]
[Trade Content: She wants you to take her to another world to meet powerful combatants there.]
[Ding! Please specify your trade conditions!]
"Huh?"
A trade request in seconds?
Even Rei Ao was startled by Edelweiss's decisiveness, his expression turning suspicious.
"You're sure you understand what a 'trade' is so quickly? You believe what I'm saying just like that?"
"?"
Saikyo Nene was still examining the chat group, completely at a loss over what was happening.
Edelweiss looked Rei Ao calmly in the eyes and said, "I lost to you. You have no reason to deceive me."
"Besides, the best way to confirm something is by trying it in practice."
"Tsk."
Rei Ao clicked his tongue.
"You really speak my language. I also believe that seeing is believing."
"But I'm curioushow much are you willing to give just so you can fight the strong of another world?"
"Everything."
Edelweiss spoke without the slightest hesitation.
"Quite bold. In that case, let's see it for ourselves."
Since she was so forthright, Rei Ao had no need to hold back.
[Ding! Your trade request has been approved!]
[Trade Conditions:] "Sword Techniques," "Inherent Device: Testament," "One-time Usage Rights to Body"
[Ding! Confirm the trade?]
"These are all the things you can offer."
Rei Ao folded his arms across his chest.
"Go ahead. Let me see what choice you make."
Right after he finished speaking
[Ding! Trade starting!]
[Trade Partner: Edelweiss]
[Trade Content: Taking her to another world to see powerful fighters.]
[Trade Conditions:] "Sword Techniques," "Inherent Device: Testament," "One-time Usage Rights to Body"
[Duration: 24 hours]
"..."
Rei Ao's eyelid twitches.
He couldn't help commenting, "You really don't hesitate at all."
Edelweiss remained calm.
"I already said I'd give everything for this, and that won't change."
"I've seen your resolve now."
Rei Ao: "But it will take a short while before we can head to another world."
He still had matters to settle here.
He turned to Saikyo Nene.
"So, why did you want to see me?"
"Uh"
Saikyo Nene carefully chose her words. "I just wanted to figure out your effect on the current balance of power, so I'd know whose side to take."
"Oh? You've seen plenty by now. What do you think?"
"..."
Saikyo Nene looked conflicted.
At this point, there was no need to hesitate.
Even the world's strongest, Twin Wings, had given everything to him. She might as well stay obediently on Kurono's side.
"At the very least, I can guarantee I'm with Kurono and Hagun Academy."
Rei Ao nodded indifferently.
It made no difference to him which side she was on.
"You don't believe another world exists. Do you want to see it for yourself?"
"Sigh, I'm not planning on any sort of deal."
Not knowing what the 'deal' entailed, Saikyo Nene didn't dare act rashly.
Rei Ao chuckled. "No, I mean I'll take you along too, just to give you a look. No trade required."
"Huh?"
Saikyo Nene's heart skipped a beat.
F-free passage to another world?
She instinctively glanced at Edelweiss.
Was it really okay to say that right in front of her?
Didn't that make Edelweisswho gave everything in a deal just to travel to another worldlook like a fool?
Edelweiss herself didn't mind.
She understood better than anyone that a true powerhouse seizes the initiative.
Seeing that Edelweiss didn't react to it, Saikyo Nene didn't dwell on it further.
"If that's the case, then sure, I really do want to see what another world is like."
It's another world, after all. Who wouldn't be curious?
"Alright, then it's settled. Before heading to another world, I need to go back to Kurono and the others for a bit. Will you come with me, or wait here?"
Edelweiss: "Makes no difference to me."
It seemed like nothing interested her except powerful opponents.
"I'll go too!"
Behind her folding fan, Saikyo Nene revealed a sly smile.
She wanted to go have a good laugh at Kurono.
"Then let's go."
"!!!"
All Saikyo Nene remembered was hearing Rei Ao say, "Let's go," just a second ago.
In the next second
Her entire surroundings changed.
A thick odor assaulted her nose.
She looked carefully.
" "
Four bare bodies right before her eyes.
She hadn't yet processed what was going on when Edelweiss, beside her, remarked in surprise, "Some kind of spatial ability?"
The messy situation before them clearly did not concern her.
"Rei Ao, can you explain why you brought two other people over?"
Stella, covering herself, gazed gloomily at him.
She assumed Rei Ao wanted to add more participantslike her own teacherto the mix.
But she was mistaken.
Rei Ao walked up and wrapped an arm around Stella and Toudou Touka at his sides.
With a smile, he said, "What are you thinking? I'm here to bring you a little gift."

Chapter 387: Decent Opponent for Esdeath? (Bonus Chapter)
[Name]: Stella Vermillion
[Level]: 23
[Abilities]: "Sword Aura," "Crimson Dragon Princess," "Royal Sword Techniques," "Rei Ao's Blessing," "Crimson Dragon God Possession," "Inherent Device: Princess Lvateinn Dragon Sin Sword"
[Name]: Toudou Touka
[Level]: 21
[Abilities]: "Sword Aura," "Raikiri," "Thunder Dragon Power," "Takemikazuchi," "Rei Ao's Blessing," "Inherent Device: Narukami"
Rei Ao had come back specifically to imprint his blessing onto Stella and Toudou Touka.
Both of them felt something like a giant hand brushing across their hearts with a brief yet scorching sensation.
They soon realized that something new had taken root in their bodies.
Stella, who understood what had happened, squinted lazily and rubbed her face against his like a cat.
"You didn't just brand me like your property with that imprint, did you? I haven't agreed to that."
But the words coming out of her mouth were still drenched in a tsundere attitude, while her body was being quite honest.
At this point, she wasn't at all concerned about Saikyo Nene or Edelweiss's gazes from the side.
"Heh heh."
Rei Ao just smiled without replying.
Stella was soft all over, but her mouth remained stubborn in a rather peculiar way.
This was the first time he'd seen someone who, after being "painted" to the point of near delirium, could still mutter, "I haven't lost yet."
It seemed Stella was truly one of a kind.
Not satisfied, he had even tested the same "top-tier" approach on Shizuku and Kurono.
At the moment, those two were lying unconscious from dehydration.
In a way, Stella's "tsundere talent" was definitely in a league of its own.
On the other hand, Toudou Touka's face was red and shy. The feeling of that large hand pressing on her heart made her bite her lip to stifle her voice.
"R-Rei Ao, are you sure it's okay for me to have this kind of power?"
Toudou Touka spoke with difficulty, blaming herself.
She considered herself inexperienced; Rei Ao had been taking care of her from start to finish.
"I'm only bestowing my blessing on my own woman. What's the problem with that?"
Rei Ao placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Relax. From now on, you're mine completely. No need to worry about anything else."
His reassurance proved highly effective.
"Mhm."
The conflicting look on Toudou Touka's face gradually faded, leaving behind a tenderness and fulfillment she'd never shown before.
Seeing this, Stella felt a surge of jealousy.
Pointing at her own forehead, she insisted, "No way, if you're kissing her, then you have to kiss me too."
Rei Ao flashed a radiant smile.
"Sure, everyone gets one."
He prided himself on treating each person equally.
All that movement caused Shizuku and Kurono to wake up as well.
Shizuku, ever the mischievous one, suggested that they should kiss him back this time.
The dorm, which had just quieted down, was once again stirred up by a small commotion.
But it was only an aftershock.
Saikyo Nene's mood was too complicated to put into words.
She was certain Kurono had seen her, yet Kurono paid her no attention, acting like a smitten woman clinging to Rei Aoin front of her own student, no less!
Initially, Saikyo Nene had planned to mock Kurono.
Now she herself was the outsider.
Her head hurt!
Could this world be an illusion?
She was starting to doubt the reality of this world, and whether she was dreaming.
But enough of that.
Once the affectionate chaos came to an end, Rei Ao straightened his disheveled clothing.
He opened the chat group belonging to Akame's world.
Rei Ao: "@Esdeath, send me a Trade Request. I've found a pretty decent opponent for you."
Esdeath: "Oh?"
Leone: "Is it that Edelweiss you were just talking to?"
Mine: "Edelweiss, Esdeath They do sound alike."
Another battle maniac?
Chelsea: "Indeed, she's even willing to trade everything just to fight someone."
Najenda: "Esdeath's definitely thrilled now."
Esdeath: "Ah, this is interesting."
Sheele: "Rei Ao, are you coming to our place?"
Rei Ao: "Yes."
Kurome: "Then I'll go take a bath first."
Akame: "I'll go with you."
Leone: "Wait for me, I'm coming too. Today I've got to pound him dry!"
Mine: "??? "
[Ding! Esdeath has sent you a trade request!]
[Trade Content: She wants you to "subjugate" her in every sense of the word.]
[Ding! Please choose your trade conditions!]
" "
Esdeath's trade request was truly wild and casual.
[Ding! Trade begins!]
[Trade Partner: Esdeath]
[Trade Content: Subjugating her in every sense]
[Trade Conditions:] "Unlimited Body Usage Rights"
[Duration: 24 hours]
Rei Ao immediately chose to teleport over.
At the same time:
[Ding! You have chosen to bring along Edelweiss and Saikyo Nene with you!]
In the blink of an eye, all three disappeared from the dorm.
"..."
Stella stared at the spot where Rei Ao had vanished, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Shizuku clicked her tongue and teased, "Stella, did you not get 'painted' enough? You're already missing him the second he leaves?"
"Wh-what are you talking about?!"
Stella's ears grew hot.
Embarrassed and annoyed, she jostled Shizuku, who had said something so flippant.
"Oh really?"
At some point, Shizuku slipped behind her.
Her hand reached between Stella's legs and pointed directly at that.
Shizuku smirked. "Ah, actions speak louder than words. Looks like you're really raring to go, aren't you?"
