Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist

After a while…

Rei Ao finally "tamed" Yumiko's stubborn, prideful demeanor.

She leaned softly against his broad, muscular shoulder, her gaze carrying a hint of grievance.

"Rei Ao, this isn't fair—you're way too skilled!"

She didn't know anything!

This was absolutely unfair!

The proud Yumiko couldn't admit defeat so easily.

"Hehe, of course, I had to bring out my best techniques to win Yumiko's heart."

Rei Ao smiled as he gently lifted her chin.

"So, did I capture your heart?"

"Hmph, of course not!"

Yumiko snorted softly.

Trying to win her over with skill? Fine—he might have succeeded.

But!

"It's actually me who captured your heart first!"

She lifted her chin proudly, refusing to back down.

"Ever since the day I confessed, you've been infatuated with me. So, I'm the winner here!"

"…"

Rei Ao couldn't deny it.

That confession was indeed the moment he first felt his heart stir for her, the moment he decided he had to have her.

"Alright, you win." Rei Ao chose to play along.

"Mm-hmm!"

Hearing him admit it, Yumiko broke into a sweet smile, almost like a little girl basking in her victory.

But she still playfully added, "Still, Rei Ao, you've already made my body remember you, becoming…"

Her voice trailed off.

Rei Ao raised an eyebrow. "Becoming what?"

Blushing, she muttered, "Your… shape."

"But!"

Yumiko quickly added a "but" to maintain her pride.

"If you want my full approval, you'll need to work harder!"

"Otherwise… I'll bite you to death!"

Blushing furiously, Yumiko bared her teeth like a little kitten pretending to be fierce, her bright eyes sending a clear message.

She was serious.

"Hehe."

Rei Ao wasn't fazed in the slightest.

Instead, he smirked and said, "Next time, I'll work even harder. Maybe I'll make you repeat it 200 times."

"Oh, by the way, last night you said it 52 times."

"!!!"

Yumiko's face turned crimson in an instant.

Just as she opened her mouth to protest—

"Grrrr~!"

A loud rumble came from behind them.

It was Mabel's stomach.

She clutched her belly, giving them a sheepish smile. "Haha… I'm hungry."

If she was hungry, she had to eat.

Rei Ao took her to a nearby restaurant.

Mabel devoured her food with the ferocity of someone who hadn't eaten in days, her mouth never stopping.

As she ate, she kept exclaiming between bites, "So good! So good!"

In no time, she had finished an entire table of food, leaving Yumiko utterly stunned.

Afterward, Rei Ao first sent Yumiko home.

After being out all night, her family had understandably bombarded her with calls and messages. It was time for her to return.

Rei Ao and Mabel then returned to the place where he had first found her.

Looking around, Mabel scanned the area and managed to recall her path.

"Over here."

Following her lead, they arrived at a narrow alleyway.

"This is it!" Mabel said excitedly.

"This is where I appeared."

Rei Ao rubbed his chin as he observed the area, but there was nothing visibly out of the ordinary.

"Do you know how I can return?"

Mabel asked hopefully.

She definitely wanted to go back.

After all, the villagers might still need her—especially since she had the legendary God-Freezing Sword.

Rei Ao chuckled.

"I can send you back. In fact, I have a few theories I'd like to test."

"But to save time, I'll have Sui go to your original village first."

Opening the chat group.

They were discussing Mabel's situation.

Ayame Yomogawa: "Unknowingly, our chat group has gained another member."

Megumi Kato: "An otherworldly guest."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "@Rei Ao, are you there?"

Rei Ao: "What's up, Yukinoshita? Are you asking about Yumiko or the newcomer?"

Rei Ao knew full well that Yukino and Yumiko had a mutual dislike for each other.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "…"

For a moment, Yukino didn't know how to respond.

She hadn't expected that Yumiko Miura would also have such an ambiguous relationship with Rei Ao. It was absolutely chaotic.

Taking a deep breath, she decided to drop the subject.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "The newcomer is from Sui's world, correct? Could this affect our world in any way?"

She raised a serious question.

Rei Ao: "Unclear."

Rei Ao: "I've already inspected the area where she appeared, but there's nothing unusual."

Tohru: "Could it be like my world, another 'converging' world?"

Rei Ao: "Possibly. We'll have to observe the situation for now."

Rei Ao: "@Sui, could you visit the village Mabel mentioned?"

Sui: "Got it. @Mabel, can you provide the location?"

Mabel: "Oh, oh, it's at xxxxx."

Sui: "That location…"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "What about it?"

Sui: "Nothing significant. It's just quite far—probably a four- or five-day journey."

Akame: "That's a long way."

Rei Ao: "No rush. Since it's not causing major problems now, take your time."

Sui: "Understood!"

Mabel: "Um… what about me during these four or five days?"

Stella: "Just stay put for now."

Mabel: "I'll starve to death!"

Stella: "Huh? Don't you have a legendary weapon? Even if you're in the wilderness, you won't starve if you hunt."

Mabel: "I-I don't know how to hunt or cook!"

Frieren: "Looks like everyone forgot just how bizarre her Ice Clan is."

Shizue Izawa: "Wait… she can't even manage basic survival?"

Megumi Kato: "Isn't she with Rei Ao right now? She should be fine."

Frieren: "Rei Ao would probably just say, 'Come, let's make a Trade.'"

Stella: "That's right."

Rei Ao: "Do you all really think I'm that much of a scoundrel?"

Just as they were about to respond, Rei Ao answered his own question.

Rei Ao: "Fine, I guess you're not wrong."

Stella: "…"

Frieren: "Oh, this personality must be what humans call 'refreshingly honest,' right?"

Saeko Busujima: "That's one way to put it. Personally, I don't mind."

Ayame Yomogawa: "Yes, even Kajika and Yukina think the straightforward Rei Ao-sama is charming."

Kajika and Yukina, blinking innocently, looked at their leader in confusion. They hadn't said a word!

Shizue Izawa: "Haha, Sister Velzard and Sister Velgrynd said they admire Rei Ao's clarity about what he wants."

Shizue Izawa: "For the record, I don't mind it either."

Sui: "Though I might get jealous sometimes, I know Rei Ao won't abandon me."

Mai Sakurajima: "Sigh, I feel like I'm supposed to be Rei Ao's first girlfriend, so why are you all so eager to claim him?"

Saeko Busujima: "Apologies, but I was Rei Ao's first."

Megumi Kato: "I might have been his first close friend, right?"

Rei Ao: "You're not wrong."

Tohru: "Hmph! I'm the first dragon to help Rei Ao with my chest! A dragon, you know!"

Shizue Izawa: "!!!"

Shizue Izawa: "@Rei Ao, um, Sister Velzard and Sister Velgrynd would like an explanation."

Rei Ao: "It's simple—Tohru confessed, and I just needed some 'support.'"

Mai Sakurajima: "What?! I didn't know about this!"

Mai stormed off to question Tohru, who was casually fiddling with kitchen tools.

Tohru stiffened for a moment before confidently puffing out her chest.

"It happened when you were exhausted and asleep. In the bathroom."

"…"

Mai felt utterly defeated.

Her house had welcomed a shameless, sneaky cat—no, a sneaky dragon!

Yukino Yukinoshita: "…"

Yukinoshita was speechless.

In her impression, Rei Ao was either making trades or on his way to making them.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Let's focus on the topic at hand."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "@Mabel, if you don't mind, you can stay with me temporarily."

She chose to offer a helping hand, unwilling to watch another girl fall into Rei Ao's "trade-making abyss."

Mabel: "Really? Thank you so much! You're such a kind person!"

Rei Ao raised an eyebrow. "So Yukinoshita is kind, but I'm not?"

"Uh…"

Mabel shrank back, remembering the terrifying things she'd witnessed. There was no way he was a kind person, but she didn't dare say it.

"Sigh. What a thankless task feeding you was."

After a resigned sigh, Rei Ao escorted Mabel to Yukino's house.

"Yukinoshita, she's all yours. Good luck handling her."

Knowing Mabel's true nature, Rei Ao left without looking back.

"…"

Yukino Yukinoshita studied the girl, a strikingly beautiful figure, and doubted Rei Ao's warning.

"Please come in. You can stay here for now, Mabel-san."

"Thank you so much for taking me in!"

Mabel entered Yukino's home with gratitude written all over her face.

Yukino had no idea that this decision would lead to her potential mental breakdown over the next four or five days.
