Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 176 - : Royal Library Academy, Bathroom Scene!

"Touka Toudou?"

Stella was puzzled as to why Shizuku Kurogane suddenly brought up her name.

But soon, she understood.

Touka Toudou had started speaking in the group chat.

Touka Toudou: "Reversing the elements, reshaping the world."

Touka Toudou: "So Rei Ao can achieve such feats?"

Touka Toudou: "How incredible... It feels like no matter how hard I try, I'll never catch up."

Kurono Shinguuji: "You don't have to think so much about it. Rei Ao is special—his power is naturally overwhelming."

Kurono Shinguuji: "We just need to keep moving forward. Whether we reach him or not doesn't matter."

Touka Toudou: "Yes, I won't lose heart."

In her training room, swinging her sword, Touka Toudou's spirit seemed renewed.

She would take Rei Ao as her goal.

Even if she couldn't catch up to him, being acknowledged for her progress the next time they met would be enough.

Stella: "..."

Something felt off to Stella.

Was Touka Toudou's admiration for Rei Ao going a bit too far?

Suddenly, she snapped her head up to meet Shizuku Kurogane's playful gaze.

"Hehe, do you see it now? Touka Toudou's feelings are quite similar to many in the group."

"That admiration and fondness for Rei Ao—do you really not know what it might develop into, Stella?"

"..."

Stella suddenly realized what Shizuku meant by "getting cut in line."

Right—she was supposed to be one of the first in the group!

A strange, sour feeling welled up in her chest.

...

Meanwhile...

At Rei Ao's home, Mai's mother arrived, pushing two suitcases.

Sweat glistened faintly on her forehead.

Mai quickly took the luggage and brought it into the house, her expression tinged with emotion.

It had been so long since she felt this kind of care from her mother.

This was a testament to the changes in their relationship.

"Where's Rei Ao? Isn't he home?" Mai's mother asked, glancing around but not finding him.

Mai glanced at the bathroom and made up an excuse. "He went out this morning. He'll be back soon."

"Mom, why don't you rest for a bit? Tohru and I are going out to buy some groceries."

"Alright."

As Mai left, her mother sighed softly.

Her daughter now resembled a wife taking care of her husband.

Without her noticing, Mai had changed so much.

...

Elsewhere...

Rei Ao had brought Hijiri Kasuga to the Royal Biblia Academy.

Hijiri Kasuga, now drastically changed, had the following status:

[Name]: Hijiri Kasuga

[Leve]l: 15

[Abilities]: "Dragon Power," "Demon King's Consort," "Rei Ao's Blessing," "Inherent Device: Consort of the Demon King"

[Possessions]: "Ilias Fragment," "Astil Manuscript"

Rei Ao had officially acknowledged her as one of his consorts.

Shortly after their arrival, a man with silver hair tied in a ponytail and glasses appeared before them.

His gaze was fixed solemnly on Rei Ao.

"Demon King..." the man muttered.

The overwhelming magical power emanating from Rei Ao left him in awe and terror.

There was no mistaking it—Rei Ao was the Demon King, possessing power far beyond comprehension.

Yet, the man was puzzled. The Demon King wasn't supposed to emerge at this moment.

"You're the headmaster of this academy, right?" Rei Ao asked casually.

"Y-Yes... Shall I greet the Demon King formally?" the headmaster responded cautiously.

The current world had no means of opposing a fully realized Demon King.

"Formalities mean nothing to me," Rei Ao replied with a dismissive wave.

"Besides, I have no hostility toward your academy."

"Then... may I ask why you've come here?"

"For her," Rei Ao said, gesturing to Hijiri Kasuga.

The headmaster's gaze sharpened as he examined her.

The Demon King's energy within her was evident.

Rei Ao explained calmly, "Hijiri Kasuga is one of my chosen consorts. While I'm away, I want her to study here. Do you have any objections?"

The headmaster's eyes gleamed with understanding.

The Demon King planned to leave? And this girl was his consort?

Despite his curiosity, the headmaster dared not ask further questions and bowed deeply. "It would be an honor."

"You're quite agreeable," Rei Ao remarked, satisfied.

However, he added, "Just so you know, Hijiri Kasuga is from the Royal Liber Academy. I trust that won't be an issue?"

"..."

The headmaster was momentarily stunned.

A student from the Royal Liber Academy, now chosen as the Demon King's consort and sent here?

Though perplexed, he nodded. "No problem at all."

"Good. I'll leave her in your care."

Rei Ao's tone grew colder. "But if she's harmed or caught up in any schemes..."

He raised his hand, and a massive black sun appeared in the sky above the academy.

"Ugh!!!"

The overwhelming magical pressure forced the academy's students to their knees, gasping for breath.

Even the headmaster struggled under the weight.

Rei Ao retracted the power as quickly as he had unleashed it.

"You understand my point," he said with a cold glance before patting Hijiri Kasuga's head.

With the Demon King's aura fading, he turned to leave.

"Take care," he said, disappearing into the void.

Hijiri Kasuga touched the lingering warmth on her head, lost in thought.

The headmaster didn't disturb her, gazing solemnly into the distance.

"The world is about to change," he murmured.

Nearby, a young woman with striking beauty, resembling Hijiri Kasuga, watched with a complex expression.

Quietly, she whispered to herself, "The Demon King... my husband..."

...

A Familiar Bathroom.

Upon returning, Rei Ao's first sensation was the disappearance of the Demon King's status and the regression of his power.

However, it wasn't a complete regression—compared to before, there was still a noticeable improvement.

[Name]: Rei Ao

[Level]: 55

[Abilities]: [Omitted]

[Possessions]: [Omitted]

[Description]: You possess the power to destroy planets and annihilate all existence in an instant.

A total increase of three levels, a result of the magical energy being absorbed and converted when he ascended to the Demon King's status.

Now that he had returned to this world, the Demon King's status had faded.

This meant that, in this world, aside from Rei Ao himself, there was no Demon King.

"The demon realm doesn't have a Demon King?"

This realization surprised Rei Ao.

But upon reflection, it made sense.

After all, if the demon realm could produce abstract demons like Vignette and Satania, it wasn't too strange that there was no Demon King.

Besides, both the celestial and demon realms were heavily "urbanized."

His scattered thoughts returned to focus, and Rei Ao's expression showed satisfaction.

At the very least, the trip to Hijiri Kasuga's world hadn't been in vain.

However, a significant problem awaited him upon his return.

He didn't have much time to think about the increase in his power—because the space he had returned to wasn't empty.

Standing nearly pressed against him was another person.

Before him stood Sakurajima Mai's mother, holding a towel, frozen in place and utterly stunned.

Her expression was one of shock, her body rigid as she stared at the suddenly appearing Rei Ao.

Her mind went completely blank.

Especially since it was her first time encountering a real man—one who radiated an overwhelming presence like the sun itself.

Rei Ao averted his gaze from Mrs. Sakurajima, adopting a serious tone.

"I believe this might be a misunderstanding, Mrs. Sakurajima."

He thought it best to address her formally for now—it might help ease the awkwardness.

"Or, if you prefer, I can explain everything."

Rei Ao felt it was necessary to offer an explanation, especially given her unique position.

Hearing his words, Mrs. Sakurajima slowly regained her ability to think.

She forced herself to calm down, steadying her thoughts.

She was aware that Rei Ao possessed the ability to appear and disappear without a trace.

It was similar to when he had appeared in her bedroom the last time.

So...

Mrs. Sakurajima concluded that this was likely just an unintentional misunderstanding.
