Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist

Rei Ao: "If you don't mind, feel free to introduce yourself to the chat group."

"Introduce myself?"

Esdeath's lips curled into a predatory smile. "Fighting and slaughter are the best introductions. Like this!"

Suddenly, Esdeath raised her hand, and a shadow enveloped Rei Ao. Above him, a massive chunk of ice silently appeared, descending swiftly toward him.

Unperturbed, Rei Ao drew out his personal weapon, now in the form of a longsword. With a casual swing, the sword energy surged forth.

'Shnk!'

As if slicing through tofu, the ice was effortlessly cut into fragments, scattering into glittering crystals. Esdeath's grin only grew wider, her excitement palpable.

"You truly are remarkable. In that case… let the battle begin!"

Esdeath drew her rapier, and with a single step, she launched herself at Rei Ao with impressive speed.

"Using a sword, huh?" Rei Ao noted, not surprised by her choice. Esdeath's strength lay not only in her Teigu but also in her formidable physical prowess and swordsmanship—both of which were respected in this world.

But unfortunately for her, her opponent was Rei Ao.

'Clang!'

Sparks flew as their blades clashed. The moment their swords met, Esdeath realized something shocking—her sword was inferior to his. This was her immediate impression. Yet, she didn't relent, thrusting and slicing with her rapier at blinding speed, each movement precise and deadly. To an observer, her strikes would have been too fast to follow.

However, Rei Ao parried her blows with effortless ease, one hand behind his back, his expression calm. He didn't even shift his footing.

"Your swordsmanship still has a long way to go. You might as well use your Teigu," Rei Ao said, almost lazily.

"...."

Esdeath stared at him intently, taking a step back.

"My swordsmanship is indeed lacking compared to yours. In that case, try this!"

Cold air began to radiate from Esdeath as she unleashed her power. With a swift motion, she sent a barrage of ice spikes flying toward Rei Ao.

Watching from afar, Ayame remarked, "She can use ice as well?"

Akame nodded. "Najenda mentioned her Teigu is called 'Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract'. It controls ice."

Kato Megumi added, "Just like Ao-kun's ability."

Frieren clarified, "Not quite. Rei Ao mentioned his power is called 'freezing,' which is different from just controlling ice."

At that moment, massive ice spikes capable of skewering an elephant flew toward Rei Ao. Without a hint of concern, Rei Ao raised a finger.

The spikes froze in mid-air, suspended and unmoving.

"???"

Esdeath's expression shifted as she realized her ice had been neutralized.

"I'm quite skilled with ice myself," Rei Ao said with a smirk, pointing his finger at Esdeath.

Crack!

The very ice spikes Esdeath had conjured broke free from the ground and shot toward her with blinding speed.

"!!"

Despite her shock, Esdeath quickly swung her rapier, shattering the incoming ice.

"You…"

Esdeath fixed her gaze on Rei Ao, expecting questions. Instead, her entire body began trembling—not from fear, but from exhilaration.

"It's beautiful! A battle to the death with a strong opponent… This is the most beautiful thing!"

"You are strong. But from here on, I will fight with everything I have… to kill you!"

True to her word, Esdeath launched herself into the fight, every attack now aimed at ending Rei Ao's life. Icebergs the size of mountains crashed to the ground with thunderous force, shaking the earth. From the distant camp, soldiers could feel the impact and cold sweeping toward them.

The soldiers assumed Esdeath was battling another dangerous creature. They had seen her fight many times, but today's disturbance felt larger than anything they had ever witnessed. Ice crept from distant mountains, even reaching the tents of their camp.

Sui: "Are all people from other worlds this powerful?"

Esdeath could freeze entire mountains with a mere gesture, creating ice structures the size of hills, while Rei Ao danced through the chaos with ease. The sheer scale of the battle left Sui in awe.

Kato Megumi: "I'm sorry… I'm just an ordinary person."

Ayame added, "I'm nowhere near as strong as Rei Ao."

Stella sighed, "Honestly, it's insane how they throw their power around like that."

Shizu asked quietly, "Do you think Rei Ao can really defeat the Flame Spirit?"

Watching the cataclysmic battle unfold, her thoughts raced.

"If it's him… maybe."

Though the fight appeared intense, Rei Ao was growing bored. Esdeath's attacks, though powerful, couldn't touch him. Feeling the battle drag, he finally shattered one of her ice mountains with a single strike.

"Do you have any final moves? This fight is getting dull."

Esdeath's fiery battle spirit began to cool. She realized none of her attacks could even push Rei Ao to take her seriously. This wasn't a battle—it was a one-sided domination.

Landing softly on the ground, Esdeath stared at Rei Ao for a long moment.

"You're strong. The strongest enemy I've ever faced."

No one else even came close. Now, she understood how Budo had been killed by this man.

Exhaling deeply, her focus shifted. No longer was she intent on simply killing Rei Ao. Her new goal was to give him a satisfying challenge.

"This next move is something I've only theorized, never tried before. If it works, it might give you what you're looking for."

"Oh?" Rei Ao raised an eyebrow, recognizing the move Esdeath had intended to use against Tatsumi.

Esdeath clasped her hands over her chest, and Rei Ao could feel the ice energy gathering. When it reached its peak, her gaze sharpened.

"Here it comes… 'Mahapdama!'"

In an instant, a powerful wave of ice energy exploded outward, not freezing the surroundings, but freezing 'time' itself.

Everything stopped.

Esdeath smiled, satisfied that her new technique had worked. Unfortunately, she had her doubts about Rei Ao.

"Looks like you're not invincible after all."

Satisfied, she approached Rei Ao, her rapier ready to deliver the final blow. As she stood before him, Esdeath couldn't help but admire his strength—too bad she would have to kill him.

"Goodbye."

She thrust her sword toward his heart.

"Why are you saying goodbye?" Rei Ao suddenly smiled, despite being frozen in place just moments ago.

"You can move?!" Esdeath's expression turned to shock. She tried to retreat, but Rei Ao moved faster.

With a flick of his wrist, he shattered her ice, freezing her in place instead.

"Freezing? I can do that too."

In an instant, time stood still once more, but this time under Rei Ao's control. Esdeath was left completely immobilized.

Grabbing her by the chin, Rei Ao gazed down at her. "But your time-freezing ability is quite crude."

Esdeath's technique didn't truly freeze time and space. It was merely a powerful burst of ice energy that stopped molecular movement in a localized area, simulating a time-stop effect. Rei Ao's freezing, on the other hand, was an absolute ability—he could freeze the very concept of time and space itself.

The effects of Rei Ao's freezing far surpassed Esdeath's 'Mahapdama' technique.

Stella: "Phew, that scared me for a second. I thought Rei Ao was about to be killed."

Frieren: "She was freezing molecular movement, but compared to Rei Ao's ability to freeze time and space, it's child's play."

Sui: "Freezing time and space? Is that really possible?"

Ayame Yomogawa: "Ao-sama has already done it."

Akame: "Yes, the proof is right in front of us."

Shizu: "It's really amazing!"

Frieren: "That human, Esdeath, is being completely toyed with."

Saeko Busujima: "Will Rei Ao kill her? All of her attacks were filled with killing intent."

Mai Sakurajima: "…Did you forget the terms of the deal?"

Saeko Busujima: "…Right, she probably won't die. For now."

Sui: "What do you mean?"

Kato Megumi: "You'll understand eventually."

"Esdeath just lost like that." Najenda couldn't believe it. No one knew better than her how strong Esdeath was.

"That's great! That means our biggest enemy is gone!" Leone was about to cheer when Mai interrupted.

"Esdeath won't die; she's part of the chat group now."

Leone remembered the terms of the deal—"body usage rights." She sighed and added, "Speaking of… do you think Rei Ao will be, um, tamed by Esdeath?"

"…"

Even Najenda looked concerned. Given Esdeath's competitive nature, it wouldn't be surprising if she tried to win in other ways too. After all, Rei Ao is just a man, and there's an old saying: "The ox may tire, but the field never does."

She turned to Akame and asked seriously, "Akame, how do you think Rei Ao is… in that regard?"

Akame looked down at her own stomach, blushing slightly. "Probably… he's very skilled."

"Probably?"

Meanwhile, Rei Ao dispelled the frozen time.

"Kill me," Esdeath said calmly. She had lost, both in swordsmanship and in her strongest ice powers. Even her ultimate technique had been useless. There was no excitement after the fight—just resignation. This had never been a true battle, only a one-sided defeat.

Rei Ao looked at her, curious. "Why do you want to die so badly?"

"Because I can tell… this battle didn't excite you. That's a disgrace to me."

Esdeath's expression remained indifferent.

"…"

Rei Ao sighed, slightly annoyed. "You're not at the point of death yet."

[Ding! Trade completed!]

[Ding! You have received all trade conditions!]

"See? The trade is finished, and it's time to collect my reward," Rei Ao said, gripping her chin. "Don't forget, we had a duel—and you lost."

"The victor takes everything," Esdeath acknowledged. She wasn't one to break her promises.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"I like people who respect agreements." Rei Ao admired her pale, cool skin. Then, he proposed, "How about we make another bet?"

"Hmm?" Esdeath narrowed her eyes. "What kind of bet?"

"According to our previous agreement, I'll claim your body as part of the deal."

Rei Ao was referring to the "body usage rights." Although Esdeath was inexperienced in love, she wasn't naive. She knew what he meant, especially as Rei Ao's hand began to trace along her collarbone.

"We'll treat it as a special kind of battle," Rei Ao continued. "If you lose again, you'll belong to me and obey me unconditionally. If I lose, the same applies to me. How about it? Do you dare to bet?"

"…"

A battle, huh? Esdeath found this man amusing, describing such things as a fight. "You see me as prey, don't you?"

Rei Ao shrugged. "Was I that obvious?"

His gaze left no room for doubt. It was the look of a hunter eyeing their prey, something Esdeath was all too familiar with—it was the same look she had when she was hunting.

For the first time, she found herself on the other side, and she found it rather interesting. "Heh. Careful you don't get bitten by your prey."

"If that happens, it just means my hunting skills aren't sharp enough. So, you agree?" Rei Ao asked with a grin.

"Let's take this to your camp, then," Rei Ao began to withdraw his hand, but Esdeath grabbed it firmly, her red tongue licking her lips.

"If it's a battle, it should be settled on the battlefield."

Crack!

Cold air surged, and ice crystals formed around them. A blue dome of ice slowly closed in, surrounding the two.

Rei Ao raised an eyebrow. "You really like to take things to the next level."

Before he could say more, Esdeath—now the hunter—pounced on him.

"Enough talk. Let's start the real battle!"

…

"???"

Mai was stunned. What just happened? They didn't waste any time at all!

"Wow! Rei Ao really goes all out, huh?" Leone whistled, impressed.

Mine turned her stiff neck toward Akame and asked dumbfoundedly, "Did he forget to turn off the live stream?"

Akame glanced at it and shook her head. "Not sure. He live-streamed a similar situation before."

"Ugh!!" Mine collapsed onto the floor, turning into a puddle of embarrassment.

"This chat group… is so weird!!"

"I… I think I'll head back now," Sheele said, her face bright red, feeling the awkwardness of everyone being gathered for such a spectacle.

Najenda exchanged glances with Leone and decided to help carry the limp Mine away. Soon, only Akame and Kurome were left in the room.

Kurome blinked her large, innocent eyes. "Sister, is that how you were defiled?"

Her memory of Akame's earlier encounter was much different—Akame had seemed overwhelmed, unlike the wild energy of Esdeath.

"Ugh…" Even Akame blushed, hugging her knees as she mumbled, "That was a trade, not defilement."

"A trade, huh…"

Kurome squinted, unsure of what to think.

Meanwhile, in the chat group, the one most flustered was Sui.

Sui: "Wait! What just happened?!"

She hastily exited the live stream, feeling like she had seen something inappropriate. She needed to take a moment to process.

Stella: "Another live stream?! This group is out of control!"

Frieren: "I see. It seems human women can also be dominant."

Kato Megumi: "…"

Ayame Yomogawa: "Um…"

Ayame's face flushed bright red as she recalled Esdeath's fierce demeanor, reminding her of her own experiences. Except in her case, she had been completely submissive.

Shizu: "This… Rei Ao is really bold."

Shizu had never seen anything like this before. Her feelings were complicated as she tried to comprehend the scene.

Mai Sakurajima: "@Rei Ao, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Rei Ao: "What do you think?"

Mai Sakurajima: "???"

So he 'was' doing it on purpose! Mai glared at the chat, feeling even more frustrated. Watching her boyfriend with someone else was definitely not enjoyable.

"Tomorrow, he's definitely not sleeping in my bed!" Mai fumed, smacking her pillow. She tried to calm down and force herself to sleep. But after tossing and turning for a while…

"I can't sleep at all…"

In the end, she found herself clicking back into the live stream, reasoning, "It's my boyfriend, anyway. Watching doesn't hurt, right?"

Unconsciously, her right hand began to move.
