Mai responded to Rei Ao's advance. Everything was going smoothly until Rei Ao touched her heart, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Rei Ao didn't stop completely but instead looked into her eyes seriously and asked, "Mai, do you like me?"
Mai averted her flushed face, her voice trembling as she replied, "I... I like you... but things are moving too fast. I'm not ready yet."
Alright, Rei Ao thought, maybe he had forgotten that moving too fast could be overwhelming for normal people. With Saeko and Ayame, everything had just happened naturally without much concern for pacing. But now, his own discomfort was becoming hard to ignore.
He glanced at Mai's long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings and her feet, also wrapped in the same material. A sly idea crept into his mind.
"Alright, I won't go any further, but you'll have to help me."
Rei Ao whispered mischievously in her ear.
Mai's eyes widened in shock.
"Can... can we really do that?"
Her head felt dizzy, and she could barely stand upright.
"Give it a try. If you help me, I'll help you too."
Rei Ao's words were like the seductive whisper of a devil.
In the end, Mai gave in to temptation.
At Hagun Academy, after almost being caught by a peeping tom the last time, Stella Vermillion never changed clothes casually in her dorm anymore. Although her previous dorm was burned down, forcing her to move to a new one, the peeping tom had somehow escaped punishment. Stella wasn't happy about it, but since nothing was actually seen thanks to Rei Ao's intervention, she decided to let it go.
Still, if she ever met that guy named Ikki Kurogane, she was definitely going to beat him up. Now, she was extra cautious—whenever she changed, she made sure to lock the door and secure the windows.
She had just finished changing when someone knocked on her door.
Stella frowned. She didn't really have any friends outside the people in the chat group. Though she constantly berated Rei Ao, she still considered him and the others in the chat her friends. After all, chatting with people from different worlds gave her a sense of openness she didn't have in her own world.
Especially Rei Ao, that perverted man. He even dared to broadcast his private affairs to everyone. "Ugh!" Realizing where her thoughts had gone, she cursed herself before calming down and opening the door.
Standing outside was a man. Instantly, her expression turned cold.
"Uh..." The man seemed embarrassed, scratching the back of his head. "I... uh, I was assigned to this dorm by the headmaster... My name's Ikki Kurogane."
Stella was dumbfounded. A guy was assigned to her dorm? Was this a joke?
Wait... Ikki Kurogane?
"You're the peeping tom!"
To put her in the same dorm with the very guy who had peeked at her—this had to be a bad joke!
Fuming, flames practically erupted from her body. Stella was furious.
She yelled, glaring daggers at him.
"I'm going to the headmaster to sort this out."
"If you dare step into my room, you're dead!"
Stella stormed off, leaving Ikki standing outside, too scared to even take a step into the room.
The next morning, Rei Ao was in a great mood. Mai hadn't made breakfast today, understandably so—her arms were sore, legs numb, and feet aching from the night before.
Mai never expected that "helping out" would escalate to nearly trying everything but the last step, including some activities she had never imagined. Of course, Rei Ao reciprocated her efforts by preparing a nice 'breakfast' for her, leaving her too dazed and full to be hungry again.
Rei Ao, on the other hand, hadn't had breakfast either, but he was satisfied enough from the night's events.
On his way to school, he noticed something odd in a small alley—a devil.
"Waaah, my melon bread, give it back!!!"
A red-haired girl wearing a small demon-bat headpiece sat crying on the ground, while a cute little white dog held a bag of melon bread in its mouth, standing proudly.
The girl reached out toward the bread, her body trembling. As a future great demon lord, to have her precious melon bread stolen—it was humiliating. The human world was terrifying!
[Demon]: Satanichia Kurumizawa McDowell
[Abilities]: "Demonic Magic"
Rei Ao couldn't help but smirk. What a coincidence, the demon that Gabriel had mentioned was now right in front of him. And she was even wearing the school uniform of his academy. It seemed she was another transfer student.
The little dog noticed Rei Ao approaching and, wary of him, quickly ran off with the bread in its mouth.
Satanichia cried out in despair. Her beloved melon bread was gone for good.
Suddenly, another melon bread appeared in front of her.
"Melon bread, it came back?"
Satanichia's eyes lit up. "Haha, as expected of the future S-ranked demon lord Satanichia, the melon bread returned on its own!"
"I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm giving this to you."
Satanichia turned to see Rei Ao smiling at her.
"Rei Ao. Judging by your uniform, it looks like we're in the same school."
Rei Ao smiled, adding, "You should hurry, or you'll be late."
But Satanichia's eyes lit up even more. "Being late is an A-rank demon's behavior! If I'm late, won't that make me even more powerful than an A-rank demon?!"
Rei Ao was speechless. She kept talking about being a demon, but she acted so clumsy that most people would think she was just a girl with a chūnibyō complex.
But he knew better. With someone like her, a few words would be enough to deceive her into his bed if he really wanted.
Tossing the melon bread to her, he said, "Here, take it. Just don't let it get stolen again."
With that, he waved and turned to leave.
Satanichia clutched the melon bread, her eyes sparkling as she watched Rei Ao walk away. A bold idea popped into her head.
"If only I could make him my servant!"
