Chapter 536: Cleaning the Evil Spirits...

Rei Ao: "@Miko Yotsuya, I plan to completely resolve the issue of evil spirits for you all."

Miko Yotsuya: "Eh? Really?!"

Kasuga Hijiri: "To resolve it completely, probably like how the zombies disappeared in Numako's world, right?"

Saeko Busujima: "Yes. Thanks to Rei Ao's help, our world no longer faces a zombie apocalypse. Society is in the process of rebuilding now."

Yomogawa Ayame: "That's so nice."

Inori: "Really nice."

Rei Ao: "No need to be envious. I'll help clean up your worlds too. I don't intend to let my women live in messed-up worlds."

Frieren: "My, I'm sure that statement makes a lot of people happy."

Sui: "It's Rei Ao-kun's consideration, of course it makes us happy!"

Akame: "Mm, we do like it."

Mai Sakurajima: "Ehm, but you've got guests at home right now, and you're here flirting in chat, that's quite rude, Rei Ao-kun!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Guests?"

Mai Sakurajima: "Yeah, it's Ms. Mafuyu, plus Fumino and Rizu."

Megumi Kato: "Oh, them."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Ms. Mafuyu… Rei Ao-kun, just what did you do to Ms. Mafuyu?"

She was taken aback when she first saw the news.

Izawa Shizue: "What happened?"

Tohru: "It's nothing major; Rei Ao has once again captured the heart of a beautiful human teacher."

Mikoto Misaka: "Huh???"

Rei Ao: "Hehehe, we're getting off topic, everyone."

Rei Ao: "@Miko Yotsuya, initiate a trade, will you? I'll head over to your side, and while I'm at it, I'll bring that world under my rule and give you all some divine ranks."

Miko Yotsuya: "Huh? I—can I become a goddess too?"

Rei Ao: "Of course. Once I seize the world's source, I can bestow divine rank. In the future, everybody gets a share."

Saeko Busujima: "That's true. Rei and the rest of us in my world have already become gods now."

Frieren: "It's truly a mysterious power."

Miko Yotsuya: "Okay! I'll request a trade right now!"

Very soon:

[Ding! Trade Initiated!]

[Trade Partner]: Miko Yotsuya

[Trade Content]: Wants smooches and cuddles from Rei Ao, plus… (too embarrassed to say)

[Trade Terms]: "Unlimited bodily usage rights"

[Stay Duration]: 24 hours

…

Back to the present.

"Mafuyu, want to go see another world with me?"

He extended the invitation to Mafuyu.

"M-me? Wouldn't I be a burden, Rei Ao-kun?"

Mafuyu looked uneasy. She was curious about the other world but worried this was something important—and that she might get in the way.

"Mafuyu, you'd never be a burden. On the contrary, having a gorgeous lady beside me when traveling another world is pure joy."

Rei Ao gently took her hand, disregarding Fumino and Rizu's dumbfounded expressions, and pressed his lips to hers. Mafuyu didn't even resist, sinking into that intense affection.

"Mm, I want to go with you."

She gathered her courage, eyes full of deep attachment.

"!!!"

Fumino and Rizu gaped, their mouths falling open. They had never seen Ms. Mafuyu so…lovey-dovey.

Seeing Mafuyu so clingy, Rei Ao was in a great mood.

"Oh, by the way—are you two interested?"

He glanced at Fumino and Rizu, who—unlike Mafuyu—he hadn't yet "captured." Maybe they'd also want to tag along.

"Eh?"

Both blinked. Fumino was about to shake her head when Rizu quickly spoke first:

"I want to go!"

"Huh?"

Fumino froze, baffled by Rizu's thoughts. Turning, she found that determined face on her friend.

Rizu repeated, "I want to go. I want to see what these evil spirits are like!"

Her motivation dated back to that previous unique otherworld experience, which lingered in her memory. Every time she closed her eyes, she'd recall the strange elves, terrifying monsters, the beautiful Feathered Serpent God, and Rei Ao who had rescued her.

Without a doubt, those experiences had left a vivid impression in her heart. Additionally, seeing all that transpired in the chat group further piqued her curiosity about other worlds.

"All right, Rizu, get ready," Rei Ao said. Then, turning to Fumino:

"Fumino, what about you?"

"I…"

Hesitant, she looked uncertain, feeling strongly that this choice might lead her down a very different life path. For a moment, she couldn't decide. Rei Ao didn't rush her, quietly waiting for her answer.

After a while, Fumino glanced from Mafuyu to Rizu, and something clicked. She gave a firm nod:

"I… also want to have a look."

Rei Ao grinned, hearing the answer he wanted.

"Then let's go."

…

At Miko's House.

"Miko, one of your friends is here for you,"

Touko Yotsuya called.

Standing next to her, out of breath, was Hana Yurikawa, who added, "Auntie, I'll go to Miko's room myself!" She then hurried off, skillfully heading straight for Miko's room.

Watching that, Touko broke into a gentle smile.

"Miko's really found a wonderful friend."

…

"Miko! I'm here!!!"

Hana barged into Miko's room.

"Hana? Why'd you come over at this hour?"

Miko looked surprised at Hana's visit.

"Hmph!"

Hana straightened up, lips in a little pout.

"Miko, I heard you're meeting Rei Ao-nii—but you didn't tell me in advance!"

"Uh…"

So that was it.

"Sorry, I didn't even know Rei Ao-nii was coming myself," Miko said, scratching her head apologetically.

"Well, all right. I know you didn't mean it."

Hana smiled again, looking around eagerly.

"When's Rei Ao-nii showing up?"

"Hana, do you miss me that much?"

A voice sounded from behind them.

"!!!"

Hana jumped, but then spun around and latched onto him—a firm hug around Rei Ao's waist.

"Heehee, Rei Ao-nii, Hana reeeally, reeeally missed you!"

Giggling, she pressed her face to Rei Ao, snuggling and nuzzling him, and under the astonished eyes of Fumino, Rizu, and Mafuyu, Hana tilted her head up and planted a kiss directly on Rei Ao's lips.
