Shin's eyes went wide.
"Her ability shouldn't work on me at all!"
"I told her," Rei Ao said, ending the suspense and explaining the truth of what had happened.

Chapter 510: Friends we Made, Sayuri's Night... Eriri?? (Bonus Chapter)
Rei Ao told Anya about Kanna's true identity for one simple purpose:
He wanted Kanna and Shin to befriend Anya.
Most ordinary kids probably wouldn't catch their interest, but Anya was specialmore mature than your typical childish grade-schoolerso she seemed like a good choice of companion.
Having listened to his reasoning, both Kobayashi and Michiru agreed.
"Kanna will do her best to make friends."
Kanna's round, cherubic face looked serious yet adorable.
"Alright, alright. Guess I'll have to stick around kids playing house. Boooooring!"
Though Shin acted dismissive, the small smile tugging at her lips betrayed her cheerful mood.
Kobayashi and Michiru exchanged a knowing look and smiled, feeling like parents watching their children grow.
Meanwhile, in the Champione World
The news that a seventh Demon King had been bornauthenticated by the ever-boisterous King of Swords Doniswept across the land, causing an unprecedented uproar.
However, nobody knew who this new Demon King was, nor what his temperament, abilities, or Authorities might be.
But Doni wasn't stupid. After learning of Rei Ao's terrifying power from Athena, he withheld any details about Rei Ao.
Otherwise, he might well have ended up like those two Heretic Gods who got reduced to icy fragments at Rei Ao's hands.
Nevertheless, the unknown factor didn't stop various magic associations from stirring into action. Particularly frantic was the "Bronze Black Cross," longtime rival to "Copper Black Cross," which Erica represented.
Since Erica had recently sworn allegiance to the new Demon King on behalf of the Copper Black Cross, the Bronze Black Cross found itself both alarmed and dismayed.
"What do we do now? They beat us to it!"
The Bronze Black Cross had initially intended to swear fealty to a different Demon KingMarquis Sasha Dejanstahl Vobanthe oldest extant Godslayer, the one who possessed the most Authorities at present and even regarded "killing gods" as a sort of entertainment.
But they still hadn't been able to locate him and formally pledge their loyalty. Meanwhile, the Copper Black Cross had already gotten ahead of them. That stuck in their craw.
"Quicknotify Liliana so that she completes her pledge to a Demon King as soon as possible!"
"Ericaso she's managed to accomplish that?"
A girl with a single ponytail and blue eyes frowned at the report in her hand.
Her name was Liliana Kranjcar, known as the "Fairy Knight," the eldest daughter of the prestigious Kranjcar family in the magic world, as well as a member of the Bronze Black Cross.
Like Erica, she had been designated to swear fealty to a Demon King on behalf of her faction and had a rival-like friendship with Erica.
Seeing how Erica had already gained a foothold with the new Demon King, Liliana's mood dimmed. She still hadn't succeeded in her missionafter all, Voban was a cruel and ruthless Demon King, and even Liliana herself had no idea if she could fulfill her quest.
After a moment of silent gloom, Liliana forced herself to refocus.
"No matter what, I'll carry out my duty!"
Rei Ao, meanwhile, knew nothing of the turmoil his actions had caused in the Godslayer World, and he didn't particularly care.
After dropping Kobayashi and Michiru off at their homesand exchanging goodbyes under Michiru's hesitant gazethe "Master of Time Management" blinked back to Eriri's house.
The living-room lights were off; the only illumination came from Sayuri's bedroom. Feeling it in his bones, he opened her door and went in, greeted at once by the faint scent of a freshly showered body.
Under the soft, warm orange lamp, an enchanting sight unfolded before his eyes. On a neatly made, spacious bed, Sayuri lay dressed in sheer, filmy silk. Aware that he'd come in, she glanced over her Shinlder with a flirtatious look.
"Rei Ao-kun?"
She spoke in a voice barely above a whispereither from shyness or excitement.
"Yeah, it's me."
Rei Ao walked over to the bed, sitting on the edge as he took in the sight of her in that special outfitclearly chosen just for him.
"That outfit suits you well. Is it new?"
"Mm."
Sayuri nodded bashfully.
"I read online that men might like this sort of thing"
Even admitting that made her blush.
"Well, I do like it."
Rei Ao chuckled, then lifted Sayuri's smooth chin.
"Take it easy tonight, Sayuri."
"Mhm"
"Mmm mmm ehehe Rei Ao-kun ehehe love you"
Eriri was sleeping soundly, a sweet dream dripping in honey. She wanted nothing more than to melt herself entirely into the person she loved.
The intense session earlier replayed in her dream over and over again, each iteration more potent. But there's a point at which even sweet dreams can be overwhelming.
Suddenly, Eriri felt a chill. With a start, she jerked awake, blinking in confusion for a second before looking down.
""
Silence.
Heat flooded her cheeks, fierce shame tangled with panic. Realizing the dream had been just thata dreamand yet somehow it had caused her to "lose something," Eriri leapt up and dashed off to the bathroom.
She spent a good while tidying up, and after changing clothes, she splashed water on her face in front of the mirror.
"Eriri, what are you doing?! You have the real thing nowwhy are you getting so worked up from just a dream?"
She felt too mortified to say more, even to herself. Ever since she'd been "opened up," her body's reactions were no longer wholly under her control.
Once she calmed down enough, Eriri took stock of her situation. She was back at her own home, most likely carried here by Rei Ao while she was unconscious.
Sticking her head out of the bathroom, she saw that the house was unnervingly silent, with the lights off in the living rooma bit creepy.
"Where's Mom?"
Feeling uneasy, she was about to call out when she noticed Sayuri's bedroom door was open and emitting light.
"So Mom's home after all."
Sighing, she gingerly made her way over, still a bit shaky. Just as she reached the door, preparing to push it open, it swung open on its ownand a strong arm reached out and grabbed her hand.
"!!!"
In Eriri's shocked gaze, she was yanked inside with brute force.
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
The bedroom just swallowed her up!
"Yaaah!!!"
A scream rang out soon after from within.

Chapter 511: Kasumigaoka Utaha's Feelings...
"Ugh, can't sleep! I can't sleep at all!"
In Kasumigaoka Utaha's apartment
Fresh out of the shower, her graceful figure was tossing and turning on the bed. Rather unfortunately, she was wide awake. And it wasn't due to writer's block or an upcoming manuscript deadlineher usual insomnia triggers.
The room was pitch dark. Every time she closed and opened her eyes, the scene she'd witnessed earlierdragon, thunder, storm, and the stunning display of powerkept flashing through her mind, making her entire body restless. The worst part was the itchiness. Utaha knew very well what kind of "itch" it was, and she was too embarrassed even to do anything about it.
So all she could do was roll around in bed, fretting alone.
She just couldn't understand how Eriri, who was normally so timid, could be that bold.
"Is Rei Ao's charm so great that they can break their moral boundaries for him?"
That question arose, and she answered it herself almost immediately. Of course the answer was "yes."
Honestly, was there anyone else in the world who offered more security, more overwhelming power, than Rei Ao? Plus, she doubted there was anyone with such a perfect face and skin, paired with a flawlessly toned physique and
"Pah!"
Utaha spat quietly, face going red at the memory of something rather conspicuous. Meanwhile, Athena's words at the very end continued echoing in her mind:
"Your feelings"
Suddenly, her phone beeped. She pulled up her chat app and found her trusted editor. Pressing her lips together, she still ended up sending a private message:
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "You there?"
Machida Sonoko: "Here!"
Almost an instant reply.
Machida Sonoko: "Aiya, I was starting to think you'd never contact me, Utaha."
"?"
Utaha was momentarily taken aback.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "What do you mean?"
Machida Sonoko: "Hehe, you can't hide anything from me, can you? Utaha, you must be going through some kind of love trouble, right? When I saw that livestream of you and Rei Ao going to Erica's world, I thought you might seize the opportunity to snag him, but I guess you couldn't pull it off."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "??? Iwhy would I try to snag him?"
Machida Sonoko: "Pffft, in your new novel, you basically poured your real emotions right in. You probably haven't noticed it yourself, Utaha."
"!!!"
Utaha froze in shock. She had indeed poured a lot of passion into her new novel, and Machida Sonoko did praise it. But to say her personal feelings had slipped in? She wasn't so sure she'd realized that.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Could it be"
Machida Sonoko: "Yes indeed, Utaha. Speaking as someone who's been there, I can tell you confidently: you've definitely fallen for Rei Ao!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "!!!"
Early the next morning
Yukinoshita Yukino had just arrived at school and was about to straighten the Service Club's desks and chairs, when she got cornered by Isshiki Iroha.
"Senpai, why is Rei Ao-senpai always taking days off?"
Isshiki looked miserable. She'd been formulating all sorts of "plans to woo Rei Ao-senpai," but apparently, the day before, Rei Ao suddenly went on leave.
All the meticulously prepared plans were ruined. In desperation, she came to Yukinothe person she thought might be "closer friends" with Rei Aofor answers.
""
Yukino was at a loss. She hadn't expected this underclassman to be so persistent. She thought Isshiki's enthusiasm would fizzle out after three minutes. Everyone in the chat group knew perfectly well why Rei Ao was absent, but there was no way she could reveal it to Isshiki Iroha.
Ever since Yukino had formed that unimaginable bond with Rei Ao, she herself had changed a bit. She was no longer so rigid about her principle of "absolute honesty." If it was something involving Rei Ao, she would prioritize his best interests first. Like a dutiful wife looking out for her husband, in a sense.
Hence, she could only reply:
"Sorry, but maybe Rei Ao-kun had something come up. I'm not entirely sure what it was, either."
"I see."
Isshiki didn't dwell on it too much. She'd never seen Yukino or Yui that close with Rei Ao, so she assumed they were merely acquaintances.
Naturally, acquaintances don't always know each other's private circumstancesthat made sense to her.
"I just hope Rei Ao-senpai doesn't take the day off again."
She clapped her hands together, as though praying. Yukino's expression turned a bit odd.
"Youare planning something today, aren't you?"
She really couldn't guess what was going on in Isshiki's head. Her "plans" seemed endless.
"Hehe."
With a playful smile, Iroha's bright eyes gleamed. She said mysteriously, "Yukinoshita-senpai, do you know the best time for me to bump into Rei Ao-senpai today?"
"Hmm?"
Yukino shook her head honestly.
"It's during our P.E. class!"
Iroha nodded, as if revealing a crucial strategy. "I already checked Rei Ao-senpai's entire schedule for his class. Today, third period in the morning, both our classes have outdoor P.E.!"
""
Yukino silently tugged at the corners of her mouth. To investigate to such lengthsIsshiki was really something else.
Completely unaware of Yukino's internal reaction, Iroha happily continued, "I have three plans:
[Plan #1: Bringing him water!]
"By the way, Yukinoshita-senpai, do you know what kind of drink Rei Ao-senpai likes?"
All of a sudden, she remembered she still didn't know his preferences, so she whipped out her little notebook.
""
However, Yukino said nothing. And
"Hmm? Yukinoshita-senpai, your ears look kinda red. Are you running a fever?"
Isshiki noticed Yukino's face was off-color.
"N-no, I'm just feeling a bit hot."
Yukino's response was evasive, her eyes shifting. As someone able to use ice-based powers, there was no way she was literally too hot. In reality, she was just embarrassed. Isshiki's question recalled a certain moment where Rei Ao wasburied between her thighs, whispering:
"Yukino, you taste really good."
"!!!"
The memory made her entire body feel hot and weak.
"Ahem."
Sensing this conversation was hitting dangerous territory, Yukino cleared her throat. "Class is about to start. I'll be going now!"
She fled in haste, leaving Isshiki with nothing but the sight of her retreating figure.
"Huh?"
Isshiki arched her eyebrows, watching Yukino vanish into the distance, deep in thought.
"I get this feeling Yukinoshita-senpai is hiding something from me. Same with Yui-senpai and Yumiko-senpai. So strange"

Chapter 512: The Iroha Isshiki Master Plan
Physical Education class.
Once again, Rei Ao was going through the motions of the usual physical fitness tests. As always, he drew exclamations from a bunch of admiring fangirls. However
Not far away in the shade of a tree stood a figure holding a notebook, jotting things down. It was Ai Hayasaka. Her gaze was fixed on Rei Ao, who was completing each test effortlessly.
"Such results"
She frowned at the data she'd recorded.
Inhuman.
That was the only word that came to mind. His results were so extreme, and yet so consistent; he wasn't even panting or sweating. Hayasaka was increasingly certain that what she'd witnessed that day hadn't been an illusionRei Aowas most likely superhuman!
But
"How can I test him further?"
She pondered. This wasn't an assignment from her mistress, Lady Kaguya, who was only curious about his "abnormal performance" and secretly plotting how to surpass him next time.
