"Why is my closet open? Pervert, creeper Are you trying to do something weird with my clothes? You never asked permission"
She touched her sore lips, simultaneously shy and resentful.
Who storms in without a word and forcibly pushes something inside someone else's mouth? Truly despicable!
"Stop griping. I was just grabbing some clothes for you to change into."
Rei Ao grabbed something, then, under Raphiel's anxious stare, casually nudged the closet door closed.
"H-hey! Why do you have that?!"
Catching sight of what Rei Ao was holding, Gabriel's cheeks turned scarlet. It was that white underwear that, previously from a botched teleportation, had ended up stuck to Rei Ao's face. Once he'd given it back, she'd never worn it again.
"Heh,"
Rei Ao's gaze flicked to Gabriel's baggy T-shirt.
"You can't hide anything from my eyes. Go change. If you stay in that dampness, you'll feel chilly."
With that, he tossed the undies at her. Gabriel caught them in her small hands and clenched them. Still warm from his touch and stung by his on-point remark, she burned with embarrassment.
She felt uncomfortable now thanks to that damned physical reaction. Even though she was an angel, her body wasn't so different from that of a human.
"Get out while I change!"
"No need. I'll just turn around."
He turned away cheerfully.
"You!"
Gabriel was about to protest, but Rei Ao raised a finger calmly:
"Ten thousand. If you change now."
"???"
She instantly realized what that "ten thousand" meant. Her petite body trembled slightly.
"What, are you flaunting money to control me?"
He extended a second finger.
"Twenty thousand."
"Don't even think about it!"
He extended a third.
"Thirty thousandmy final offer."
" "
Silence. But silence is golden. A moment later came the soft rustle of fabric.
Shortly after
"Finished."
Rei Ao turned around.
He saw Gabriel with one hand tucked behind her back, the other hand open, beckoning.
"Hand over the money."
"A real little money-grubber, aren't you?"
[Your bank account has received 30,000!]
"Are you serious?!"
Gabriel herself was startled at how easily Rei Ao transferred the money without a fuss. She recalled how, in the past, borrowing twenty thousand from him always required kisses or foot/hand services.
This time, she borrowed one hundred thousandand was forced to swallow many indescribable things. Now merely turning her back on him to switch her underwear had earned her thirty thousand?
Tsk.
Gabriel felt as if she'd discovered an incredible money-making opportunity! Subconsciously, she remembered the underwear she'd just taken off behind her back. She'd heard there were many odd humans who liked collecting something like that
So she tentatively asked, "Ahem, want this?"
She held out the freshly worn underwear.
"Thirty thousand!"
She made three fingers, thenfeeling that was too highamended it to one.
"No, ten thousandsold to you!"

Chapter 488: Went in for the Kill...
"Sell it to you for ten thousand!"
Gabriel tried boldly.
In response, Rei Ao cast a somewhat peculiar glance at her.
Her sense of propriety seemed even lower than he had imaginedjust a little nudge, and she already knew how to adapt it further.
Well, fine. It saved him more time he would otherwise spend on "training" her.
He didn't immediately agree to her deal. Instead, he asked, "Before I decide whether to buy it, I need to know: you angels, regarding hygienecould there be any smell?"
"Of course not!"
Gabriel answered firmly, "We angels come with our own purifying holy light!"
"Really?"
Seeing her so certain, Rei Ao became curious.
[10,000 has been deposited into your account!]
"!!!"
Gabriel's eyes lit up in excitement.
He really did buy it!
"Here, let me have a sniff."
"Here you go!"
When money's involved, everything's negotiable.
Today she'd already made 190,000. Heh heh, so nice!
Handing over that undergarment, Gabriel began envisioning ways to spend it all on microtransactions in her game.
But the sight of Rei Ao's action unsettled her right away.
"H-hey, what are you sniffing for?!"
"Well, I just purchased it, no? How I use it shouldn't concern you, right?"
There was a subtly sweet scent. Indeed, angels were different from humans.
"Youpervert!"
Gabriel shot him a helpless glare. But that undergarment now belonged to Rei Ao. With no recourse, she went back to her computer, planning to blow that money on the game to shift focus.
Without even looking back, she said, "Once you're done being a perv, get outand close the door behind you."
"Get out?"
Rei Ao's lips quirked into a smile.
That wasn't happening.
He casually tossed the undergarment he'd been sniffing through the slight opening in the closet door.
It landed exactly on Raphiel's head inside.
" "
Her head now felt damp.
Raphiel practically wanted to kill him.
Gab-chan, you'vefallen this far?!
"What are you still standing here for?"
Seeing Rei Ao not only remain in the room but approach her, Gabriel instantly grew wary.
"Isn't it lonely playing games on your own? I'll keep you company."
"You?"
Common sense told her this pervert must be up to something again. Yet her gaming-obsessed heart and her battered conscience couldn't refuse.
Indeed, she did have plenty of acquaintancesRaphiel and Vignette were basically friends, plus that "idiot" Satania, and a super pervert Rei Ao.
But none shared her love for gaming. Now that he pointed it out, it really was lonely.
Still, she refused to concede voluntarily. Tilting her head haughtily, she sneered, "You? Think you can play?"
A classic goad.
"Won't know unless I try."
He peered around, spotting only one chair under Gabriel's desk.
"I've only got this one chair, so if you want to sit, go get your own."
No way was she giving up her comfy seat.
"Heh."
That seat was precisely what Rei Ao wanted.
He held up three fingers.
"Thirty thousandI get to sit in your chair."
"Ha? Then where would I sit?"
"On my lap."
Rei Ao smirked. "After all we've been through, you won't mind that, right, Gabriel?"
" "
Gabriel stayed silent a few seconds, then lifted her right hand with fingers splayed wide.
"Fifty thousand!"
Five fingers.
" "
She stumped him for a brief moment. Good grief. He'd assumed from her pensive look that she was caught in emotion, but she came right out with "raise the price."
"All right."
[50,000 has been deposited into your account!]
" "
In the closet, Raphiel watched Gabriel climbing onto Rei Ao's lap in utter disbelief. For just a few thousand, Gab-chan had willingly stooped to this?
"You'd better not try anything funny!"
Seated on his lap, Gabriel gave him a warning.
"Don't worry. I know my limits. Let's begin."
They started the game, evidently playing for real, occasionally ridiculing each other's mistakesarguing noisily like either a couple or siblings.
Raphiel in the closet felt so out of place. "I should just leave," she thought, trying to stealthily use a teleportation to slip away. But then she witnessed something else.
"H-hey, who told you to lean in toward my ear?"
Gabriel realized his mouth was close to her earlobe, about to do something "hands-on." She also felt an unmistakable physical reaction from him below, so that she dared not move.
Ugh, she thought. He was, as always, a colossal pervert!
"Ten thousand," he stated.
"I'm not some cheap angel!"
He raised two fingers. "Thirty thousand."
" "
"F-fine, but you'd better not bite my ear too hard!"
"Mmphhey, what're you"
With her sensitive ears being fiddled with, Gabriel couldn't focus on the game. Then she felt his lips nearing her own mouth.
"One kiss: ten thousand."
"Mmph!"
Whether or not she agreed, he was already kissing her. The situation escalated beyond anything Raphiel expected in the closet.
"Youwhy'd you take that out again?!"
Gabriel exclaimed in alarm.
"Your thigh this timetwenty thousand."
"Youbastard!"
Blushing furiously, ultimately Gabriel caved in under that 20k. A short while later:
"Mmph! Why hasn't it ended yet?"
Gabriel was bewildered. By now, some items of clothing were basically missing. Well, she did know why: each time he added ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand She was so dazed she'd lost count.
Then Rei Ao went in for the kill.
"Seems like that's still not enough."
He gave a sly grin. "Gab-chan, since things have reached this point, how about we raise the stakes: you can have anything you want from me."
"Mmph!"
In truth, it wasn't about money anymore. Gabriel needed to vent her pent-up emotions too.
A faint nod from her.
Rei Ao's eyes lit up. The time had come.
""
His expression sharpened.
Now perched on the same chair, it was unbelievably convenient.
"I'm coming in, Gabriel."
"!!!"
In that moment, the angel completely fell from grace!

Chapter 489: Athena in Campione? Also Video Chat!
"The Gorgoneion has returned?"
On a street somewhere in Sardinia, a young woman in a bright yellow knitted sweater and short skirt, wearing what looked like a cat-earstyle cap over her short white hair, showed a puzzled expression.
She was Athenayes, that Athena from the myths. Or more precisely, in this world, she was one of the Heretic Gods.
But at the moment, Athena was incomplete: her Trinity divinity had not been restored. Precisely because she had yet to regain her full godhood, she could tread the earth without losing her reasonunlike other gods who, upon descending, would do nothing but rampage and battle.
Athena was in the midst of searching for her lost godhood. Only by retrieving the Gorgoneion could she reclaim her Trinity and regain her true divinity.
Sensing the Gorgoneion's presence, she had come to Sardinia. Yet not long before, the Gorgoneion's existence had vanished, as though it no longer resided in this world. Athena wondered who in the world could cut off her connection to the Gorgoneion. A God-slayer? Or some other Heretic God?
This confusion persisted for about a day, and then the Gorgoneion's aura reappeared.
"Truly bizarre."
Seeing no point in further speculation, Athena decided to act. All she needed was to take back the Gorgoneion and restore the Three-in-One Godhood.
Meanwhile, in another location:
"What did you say? The Gorgoneion is about to surface a Heretic God on Sardinia?!"
A startling piece of news reached Erica. That island might soon see the advent of a Heretic God.
"This is bad"
An extremely troublesome matter. Without a Demon King's intervention, countless lives might be lost once a Heretic God appears.
And since Sardinia is Italian territory, the Copper-Black Crossbeing one of Italy's magic societiescouldn't possibly ignore it. But dealing with a Heretic God? Mortal humans, or ordinary magi, didn't stand a chance.
Commissioned by her organization to handle the situation, Erica felt a headache coming on. In the worst case
She bit her lip and gazed at the intangible "chat group" that only she herself could see.
This was her final ace in the hole.
In the Guilty Crown world's subgroup of the chat:
Kuhouin Arisa: "@Rei Ao, Master, do you have a moment now?"
Menjou Hare: "@Rei Ao, MMaster, are you there?"
Yuzuriha Mana: "HehHare, why so shy about saying 'Master'?"
Menjou Hare: "I I'm just a bit embarrassed, that's all."
Yuzuriha Mana: "What's there to be embarrassed about? If you've been approved to warm Rei Ao's bed, you have a lot more to face going forward."
Menjou Hare: "I I'll do my best to adjust!"
Inohira: "What on earth did you say to Tsugumi?"
Everything felt a bit off, as though Hare had been "trained."
Menjou Hare: "Nnothing"
Rei Ao: "Oh? You were calling me?"
At that moment, inside a certain bedroom:
"Gabriel, feeling tired?"
"Mmgh"
Perched on a chair, clinging to Rei Ao, Gabriel mumbled listlessly, hardly able to speak.
"If you're that exhausted, I suppose we should let you rest sooner."
It had been quite a while. Gabriel was thoroughly worn outespecially after her first real experience. Rei Ao wasn't about to push her further.
He put on a little extra force so that they could end quickly, then turned attention to see what Inori and the others wanted. Of course, doing two things at once in a scene like this might not be ideal.
[Ding! Detecting your minor annoyances, generating new functions]
[Ding! New feature "Video Chat" activated!]
"Hmm?"
Rei Ao's eyes brightened. Even trivial annoyances could prompt the chat group to create a new feature?
[[Video Chat]: Can initiate a video chat with a private contact, the main chat, or a subgroup.
"Just in time," he thought, "we can test it out."
[Ding! You've started a video call in this subgroup!]
[Ding! Mana joined the video call]
[Ding! ]
In an instant, multiple images popped up in front of Rei Ao, each belonging to different peoplelike split screens.
At the front were Mana and a few others:
"Eh? A new feature!"
Menjou Hare exclaimed in surprise.
But soon, they all stared at Rei Ao's video feed, noticing that he was in mid-act with Gabriel, whose bare white flesh was moving vigorously.
"Wahh!!!"
Menjou Hare yelped, hiding her face.
Kuhouin Arisa's cheeks reddenedshe apologized: "Master, sorry to disturb you at such a moment"
Rei Ao gave a crooked grin. "No need to apologize. You lot barging in like this actually heightens the excitement."
"Mmph! Yyou say you're excited, but, but don't get carried away!"
Gabriel, face flushed and voice faint, spat out her feeble protests. She misunderstood him.
Rei Ao patted the smoothness of her back. "Don't mind them. I'm just chatting with a few friends."
Gabriel, whose eyes were half-lidded from exhaustion, widened them slightly in disbelief.
"Y-you'retalking with other people, at a time like this?"
"True, it's not the best timing."
He gave a roguish smile. "Let me just send you off, then."
"!!!"
Shortly afterwardunder the complicated gazes of envy, jealousy, or face-covering embarrassment from those four watchersthe little angel experienced an unprecedented finish, collapsing as though she were a koala on Rei Ao's shoulder. Softly breathing in deep slumber.
