Hayasaka Ai: "Rei Ao-kun, Lady Kaguya requests to come along as well."
Julis: "Admin! I'm applying too—I must verify the existence of another world myself!"
Rei Ao raised an eyebrow, a faint smile flickering in his multicolored eyes.
He could feel the caution in Ai's phrasing, whereas Julis's plea carried scholarly rigor and an iron-clad resolve.
Rei Ao: "Oh? Shinomiya-san wants to see another world too?"
He paused deliberately; the chat fell silent.
He could almost picture Kaguya's ears turning pink.
Hayasaka Ai: "My lady simply thinks such an experience would be valuable academic capital."
The clumsy excuse made Rei Ao chuckle.
Hayasaka Ai: "My lady's wishes are my mission, Admin. If you consent, I will take full responsibility for her safety."
Her message was crisp and decisive—full butler mode.
Marquis Voban really was a troublesome Campione, but to Rei Ao he was no more than a mantis to crush in passing.
Besides, bringing these girls might be entertaining:
Kaguya's tsundere pride, Ai's rigor, Julis's stubborn zeal, and Tohka's innocent cheer—a party might yield unexpected "scenery" in another world.
Rei Ao: "Erica, you know what to do."
Erica: "Yes, my King!"
[Ding! Trade initiated!]
[Task: Deal with Marquis Voban]
[Price]: "Unlimited usage rights of the body."
"Hold down the fort," he said to Tohru and the others—and vanished.
[Ding! You have chosen to carry across: Hayasaka Ai, Julis, Shinomiya Kaguya, Yatogami Tohka!]
Four gentle beams enveloped Ai, Kaguya, Julis, and Tohka in their separate worlds.
When the light faded—
—the five stood on a rain-soaked road heavy with oppressive air.
Ahead, Erica—back turned—held a longsword, facing Liliana.
"Erica, will you really set yourself against the entire world for that Heretic God?"
Liliana's voice was ice, her eyes razor sharp.
Before Erica could answer she sensed a familiar aura behind her.
She whirled around, joy blazing. "My King!"
Ignoring Liliana's caution, she sprinted to Rei Ao, dropped to one knee, and bowed her head.
"My King, you've finally come!"
Liliana's pupils shrank at the sudden twist.
Hand on her sword hilt, she studied the newcomers warily.
When she saw Rei Ao's trademark messy black hair and mismatched eyes, shock flashed across her face—while most of her attention stayed on the strangers flanking him.
"Erica, who are they?" she asked, sweeping her gaze over Rei Ao and the four girls.
Kaguya—elegant in her bespoke dress—gazed wide-eyed at the unfamiliar architecture and Erica's armor, equal parts astonished and curious.
"So this is… another world?" she murmured, clutching the small handbag Ai had packed.
Julis was just as startled.
"There's no mana here, yet our power works… how odd."
Tohka looked the most at ease. She sniffed the unfamiliar air and leaned toward Rei Ao.
"Rei Ao-kun, is this Erica's world? What do we do now?"
Rei Ao brushed off Liliana's vigilance with a casual glance—the way one might look at a pebble—which made her heart tighten: the stare of an absolute superior.
His eyes soon drifted seaward, to the raging waves and terrifying energy where Athena and Voban were clashing.
"Stay here," he said calmly. "I'm going to take a look."
"My King, please be careful," Erica rose, worry filling her eyes. However powerful he was, she still worried—for her King, her man.
"King…?" Liliana stared at Rei Ao, then Erica. "You call him King? Could he be…"
The seventh Campione sprang to mind. If Erica's King was truly a Campione, fear drained her face white.
Rei Ao offered no explanation. He simply nodded at Kaguya and the rest.
A streak of light—he vanished toward the sea.
Apocalypse over the waves
Athena—graceful, clad in white armor—floated mid-air, golden hair whipping in the gale. Three sets of eyes—past, present, future—shone with divine light.
No weapon—just her divine flesh and Authorities.
Opposite: a tall elder in a black coat—Marquis Voban. A blood-thirsty grin split his face, black mist of Authority swirling around him.
"Athena! Your era is over—hand your power to me!" he roared, hurling his arm forward.
A wolf-shadow of crackling black lightning lunged at Athena with apocalyptic force.
Her gaze stayed serene; she flowed aside like water.
In the same heartbeat she flashed to Voban's flank, fingertips flaring gold—
Authority of the Trinity: Sight of Time!
Invisible ripples spread. Voban's motions thickened, as though trapped in time-swamp—Athena's ability to warp time within a range.
"Trivial trick!" he snarled, black mist erupting. A giant wolf wreathed in flame burst free—
time's shackles shattered. His left fist blasted out, the shockwave screaming through the air.
Their battle spanned kilometers.
Each clash birthed tsunami waves and heaven-shaking thunder.
Sea-spray vaporized to fog; clouds were ripped apart; the sky itself burned a sinister crimson.
