"Strange phenomenon?"
Seeing Frieren's trade request, Rei Ao was a bit surprised. The matter with the demons had been resolved, so logically there shouldn't be any danger left for her and Aura. Regardless, he decided to accept.

Stella: "What's going on? Did Frieren run into some trouble?"
Frieren: "Yes, the situation's a bit complicated, but the short version is that I seem to have time traveled."
Megumi Kato: "Time traveled?"
Frieren then described her experience:
After meeting her master's master, Frieren continued focusing on her magic research. With the demon threat gone, there was no rush. She chose to travel around her world with Aura, sightseeing. During that journey, she happened upon a "Goddess Monument."
The Goddess.
Legend says she's the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world. But after the earliest mythological era, she has never again appeared in recorded history.
Nevertheless, her existence persists in texts handed down since ancient mythological times. People all over the world continue to worship and research her. Many shrines and monasteries devoted to the Goddess have been established.
Shrines are places where people pray to the Goddess. They also have priests/monks who use healing magic to cure, detoxify, and dispel curses.
Monasteries, however, differ from shrines. Typically located in remote places, they serve as ascetic training sites for monks leading pure, desireless lives, sustaining themselves in harsh environments.
They also copy old texts as training, preserving many ancient documents and myths into modern times—including legends of the Goddess.
Among those legends are references to the "Goddess Monument," describing how the Goddess supposedly imbued stones with her own magic.
People naturally wanted to decipher these monuments. There are ten such Goddess Monuments spread across the land. No one has successfully interpreted any of the ten so far.
Since she'd run into one of these monuments, Frieren couldn't resist trying to interpret it. But after she touched the monument and poured her mana in, an accident occurred:
Frieren: "I just remember a holy radiance bursting from the monument, engulfing Aura and me, and the world in front of us changed. Then, by gathering information, I realized this timeframe is decades after the time I was originally in."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "So you traveled through time and ended up in the future?"
Frieren: "That's more or less the situation. But is something so miraculous possible? I also thought maybe it's some type of illusion."
Rei Ao: "Time travel is indeed possible."
He understood this clearly, having become the unique God of worlds. Especially in Bibi Dong's world, he'd pulled people from tens of thousands of years in the future (like Ma Xiaotao, etc.) into the God Realm to form part of his harem.
Rei Ao: "If that Goddess is a real deity, she could have that power."
Plus, he recalled that in Frieren's world there was a monument allowing people to return to the past, completing a closed loop. A monument sending someone to the future wouldn't surprise him at all.
Kasuga Hijiri: "So how does Frieren plan on getting back?"
Yuzuriha Inori: "Rei Ao-kun will help her."
Rei Ao: "Inori is right. I'll go check things out."
Sakurajima Mai: "Mm. Don't forget the party tonight."
Rei Ao: "Don't worry, I shouldn't be gone too long; I'll make it back on time."
Frieren: "Eeh, I was hoping we could soak in the hot springs together…then do a bit of research into how elves and humans, or humans and demons, reproduce!"
Shiba Miyuki: "Frieren! You're still as bold as ever with your words."
Misaka Mikoto: "One lewd elf right here!"
Frieren: "Not at all. I just want intimacy with the one I like. Aren't you all the same?"
Busujima Saeko: "No denial there."
Erica: "Sharing a bed with our King and even bearing his children is the highest honor!"
Tohru: "Hehe, if I can have Rei Ao's half-dragon baby, I'd be such a great mom!"
Stella: "Having…a baby seems too soon, doesn't it?!"
Bibi Dong: "Surely I'm the one who will bear Rei Ao's child first."
Tohru: "Hah! You're quite bold, aren't you!"
Sui: "Hold on, hold on, the conversation's gotten way off track!"
Izawa Shizue: "Though I'd love to discuss that topic, I suspect everyone here wants to be first to have a child, so let's not dwell on it…"
Given they were all Rei Ao's women, she knew it was the same for everyone.
Izawa Shizue: "But there's something else that interests me—what's this 'party' you mentioned?"
Megumi Kato: "It's basically a gathering planned among people in our world's group, as a kind of get-together event."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Originally it was going to be a small 'thank-you' feast, but Rei Ao turned it into a bigger party."
Sui: "Wow! Does that mean lots of people are attending?"
Akame: "Party… does that mean lots of meat?"
Sakurajima Mai: "There'll definitely be a lot of people…"
Seeing the group chat focusing on the party, Rei Ao refrained from chiming in further. He turned to Yukino, saying:
"I'm off to see Frieren."
"All right, take care."
Hearing talk about a "Goddess" with power to manipulate time or cross worlds made Yukino a bit uneasy.
"I'll come back safely, wait for me."
He gently stroked Yukino's soft cheek, then departed.
"Wah! He vanished again!"
Though Alicia was startled, she was less panicky than the first time. She was already more accustomed to such things.
Steadying herself, she turned to Yukino, asking a question she'd been suppressing:
"Um, Yukinoshita-san, can I ask…what exactly is the relationship among all the people in that chatroom?"
"… …"
Yukino snapped out of her thoughts and, hearing Alicia's query, pressed her palm to her forehead in resignation:
"You want to talk about them wanting to have Rei Ao's child, correct?"
"Eeh…"
Alicia flushed with embarrassment, nodding awkwardly. So her guess had been right.
Yukino's gaze became deep:
"Fine, I'll tell you—but understand: from here on, you face the abyss."
From her perspective, Alicia was already in Rei Ao's palm, just like Meibelu.
"Glp!"
Alicia swallowed nervously, suddenly regretting asking this question!
