"Krul?"
By the time Ashera fully came to his senses, both Rei Ao and Krul had disappeared. However, he could still hear their voices in his ears:
Rei Ao: "I have granted you life."
Krul: "Brother, by the time you awaken, I will have already left with our master. This is my choice—don't worry about me."
"… …"
Ashera gazed up at the sky with a wry smile. It looked like his little sister had found someone incredible. And, apparently…she'd fallen for him.
"Sigh, maybe that's for the best," he murmured, shaking his head slightly. If his sister had found someone who truly moved her heart, he supposed he should be happy for her.

In the chat group…
Mikoto Misaka: "@Rei Ao, @Hiiragi Shinoa, you two have been silent this whole time. Did you see all the plans we suggested?"
Tohru: "Ehhh, Mikoto, why do you care so much?"
Mikoto Misaka: "Of course I care! We put a lot of effort into this!"
In truth, Mikoto was still upset about the human experimentation issue. She'd been brainstorming ways for Shinoa to stop it, offering a bunch of ideas. She wanted them to actually take her input seriously.
Rei Ao: "Okay, okay, I saw it. Shinoa did too."
Mikoto Misaka: "Finally decided to show up, huh?! So what are you going to do about it?"
Rei Ao: "I'm leaving management of that world up to them. I figure Shinoa will take your ideas into consideration."

They had each been granted godhood status—the God-King position and First-Class Gods. Leaving them in charge of that world wasn't an issue.
Stella: "You're letting them manage the entire world?"
Miko Yotsuya: "I get it! He gave them 'godhood!'"
Frieren: "Tch, so he gave them god-status and told Shinoa to build the world she thinks is peaceful. Huh, guess that works."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Might that change be too subjective?"
Ai Hayasaka: "Right. Humans are always driven by self-interest."
Bibi Dong: "If humans govern the world, won't they wipe out vampires?"
Sui: "Yes, 'If they're not one of us, they must be an enemy.'"
Rei Ao: "That's why I also left a vampire to oversee everything: Krul Tepes, originally the Third Progenitor. She's now my servant and my woman."
Mikoto Misaka: "?????"
Erica: "As expected of a king, how considerate."
Tohka Yatogami: "But vampires still need to drink blood, right?"
Rei Ao: "That's just a matter of editing the rules of the world. Not a big deal."
Saeko Busujima: "Got it—vampires who don't need to drink human blood."
Ai Hayasaka: "You can do that?!"
Tohru: "Why are you so surprised? Rei Ao is basically the one and only god of that world. Changing something like that is no problem."
Ai Hayasaka: "…"
She couldn't help it—without seeing it with her own eyes, it was impossible to imagine.
Fubuki: "Wait, Rei Ao-kun, you said 'them.' You're not just talking about Shinoa and that vampire Krul, right?"
Mai Sakurajima: "Hmph. Probably includes the other girls he kept around too."
Rei Ao: "You guessed it."

Those eight would also help govern the world, under Shinoa, Mahiru, and Krul. They were already working on it, the first step being to deal with certain troublemakers among humans and vampires alike.
[Ding! Trade Complete!]
Right after the notification came, eleven figures suddenly appeared in front of him, all looking excited.
"Looks like you did a good job.
I guess this is where I take my leave," Rei Ao announced.
Instantly, all the girls' excitement died down a bit, replaced by varying degrees of reluctance. There was no denying they'd each been completely…conquered by him in every sense.
Shinoa finally spoke up:
"Rei Ao-kun, go on back. We'll handle this world."
Hearing her say that, no matter how much the others didn't want to part, there was nothing they could do.
They still had some things they could do, though. For instance, Mito Jujo boldly took the lead and gave Rei Ao a goodbye kiss, and the others, not to be outdone, followed suit—each kiss more intense than the last.
"Tsk, you're all just a bunch of naughty minxes. Next time, I'll give you a proper, thorough 'talk,'" Rei Ao said with a smirk, wiping the corner of his mouth, and returned to his own world.
