Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist

"Yumiko, what… are you even saying?"

Yui's overwhelmed mind desperately tried to convince her that Yumiko was joking, that this was all a prank. How could anyone knowingly settle for being "the third"? Yumiko had always been so proud and independent.

But the truth is often stranger than fiction.

What Yui didn't know was that the current Yumiko was not the same as the one she had always known. Her usual pride had always carried a hint of performative confidence, but deep down, she was also grappling with her own vulnerabilities.

Yumiko rolled her eyes, exasperated.

"Don't think I'm joking—I'm being completely serious."

She added pointedly, "And don't use normal standards to judge someone like Rei Ao. For example… like this."

With a simple thought, Yumiko's outfit transformed into a dazzling black-and-white gown, shimmering with an otherworldly glow.

Yui froze, captivated.

The ethereal aura surrounding Yumiko made her appear almost like a goddess of day and night descending to earth.

"See? Rei Ao isn't an ordinary person, and honestly, neither am I—or a lot of us."

With another thought, Yumiko dispelled her powers, returning to her usual appearance.

She looked at Yui and said sincerely, "If you really like Rei Ao, then go for it."

"Ah… I…"

Yui's mind spiraled further into confusion, more chaotic than it had ever been.

Did she truly like Rei Ao?

The answer was obvious.

Her fluttering heart, the way his relationship with Yumiko had pained her so deeply—everything pointed to the truth.

She liked him.

But…

Now Yumiko, someone who was already with Rei Ao, was encouraging her to pursue him.

"I… I don't know…"

Yui felt utterly lost.

Suddenly, even Yumiko seemed like someone from a different world. If that were true, what was left in Yui's own world?

Sensing that Yui was overwhelmed by too much information, Yumiko decided to stop pushing.

"I'm not asking you to decide right now," Yumiko said gently.

"But no matter what you choose to do, I'll support you. Still… if you want to understand Rei Ao better, I think there's something you need to know."

Yumiko wanted Yui to fully understand Rei Ao—just as she had. Only then could Yui make an informed choice.

She discreetly opened the chat app.

Yumiko Miura: "Rei Ao, can I ask you something?"

Rei Ao: "Ask? Sounds more like you're making a request."

Yumiko Miura: "…Can your intuition not be so sharp for once?"

Rei Ao: "Haha, whatever you're asking for, I'll agree to it—but on one condition."

Yumiko Miura: "Huh? You're setting conditions for your girlfriend now?"

Rei Ao: "It's just something to bring us closer, that's all."

Yumiko Miura: "Tch. Who wants to get closer to you?"

Her face flushed red as she typed the reply.

Yumiko Miura: "Fine, say it."

Rei Ao: "Stay over at my place this weekend."

Yumiko Miura: "That's it?"

Rei Ao: "That's it."

Yumiko Miura: "I have a feeling you're up to no good."

Rei Ao: "What could I possibly be scheming? I just want to spend time with you."

Of course, he conveniently left out the part about trying to ease her into a closer relationship with Mai and Tohru.

Yumiko Miura: "Fine, I'll agree."

Rei Ao: "Alright, what's your request?"

Yumiko Miura: "Can you create a subgroup for Yui?"

Rei Ao: "Huh?"

Yumiko Miura: "I have my reasons!"

Yumiko Miura: "Look, I know you've already set your sights on Yui. She's practically a juicy steak sitting on your plate."

Rei Ao: "Wow, Yumiko, has anyone ever told you how sharp your observations are?"

Yumiko Miura: "Tch, I just see right through your perverted nature!"

Yumiko Miura: "I'm not going to stop you from going after Yui."

Yumiko Miura: "She's my best friend, and I want her to understand everything about you before she makes her choice—just like I did."

Rei Ao: "Oh? So you fully understood everything about me before deciding to join me in the bedroom, making waves and stirring storms?"

Yumiko's eye twitched.

Why did he have to describe it like that?

Yumiko Miura: "Idiot! Stop talking about me—this is about Yui!"

She couldn't stand the self-inflicted embarrassment. Just thinking about "that" made her body tingle.

It was the clearest sign that she'd already been shaped into something entirely his.

Rei Ao: "Fine, fine. I'll do as you ask."

…

[Ding! You've joined the chat group's subgroup!]

"Yumiko, did you hear something just now?"

Yui looked up in confusion.

Yumiko nodded. "That was the subgroup notification, wasn't it?"

"Uh-huh."

As Yui nodded, a wave of information about the chat group flooded into her mind.

Seeing Yui's wide-eyed expression, Yumiko began to explain.

"First of all, everything about the chat group is real."

"I asked Rei Ao to add you. He's the group admin."

"And just so you know, most of the members are women—and a lot of them are Rei Ao's women."

The last two words were emphasized heavily.

"Eh?"

Yui blinked, dazed.

World travel? Trades?

Rather than feeling shocked or upset, she found herself brimming with excitement.

It meant she, Yumiko, and Rei Ao weren't from different worlds after all!

"???"

Yumiko noticed the subtle smile forming on Yui's face and didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.

Who could be happy hearing that their crush has multiple partners?

This girl truly was a hopeless romantic.

And Yumiko, a self-declared realist, found herself calling someone else love-struck for once.

How ironic.

…

"Not here?"

In Class 3-3, a blonde twin-tailed girl, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, looked around at the sparsely populated classroom. Disappointment filled her gaze when she didn't see the person she wanted to meet most.

After some time, Eriri had finally recovered from the recent events.

Her mother had taken her to the Aki household to offer monetary compensation, and with that matter settled, Eriri finally felt a sense of relief.

She had planned to invite Rei Ao to her home, just as her mother had suggested.

"Sigh, I guess I'll have to wait until the afternoon."

A small pout of disappointment appeared on her face as she turned to leave.

A voice called out from behind.

"Sawamura-san?"

She turned around to see a girl with a bob haircut, someone she had met before.

"Uh, you are...?"

Her name… slipped her mind.

"Sorry, I don't remember your name."

"Megumi Kato."

"Oh, Kato-san! Is there something you need?"

"Yes..."

Megumi's gaze swept over Eriri subtly, observing her.

This blonde girl who had appeared by Rei Ao's side on multiple occasions.

In that moment, Megumi formed an idea.

"I'm a friend of Rei Ao's, and I've heard him mention you a lot. Are you here to see him?"

Rei Ao talks about me often?

Hearing that, Eriri's heart fluttered, and a giddy feeling took over her.

She couldn't suppress the smile spreading on her face as she replied, "Yes, I was looking for him, but it seems he's not here."

"..."

Megumi remained silent for a moment.

This girl, she realized, was surprisingly easy to read.

Her emotions were written all over her face. It seemed she had strong feelings for Rei Ao.

Deciding to push forward, Megumi offered, "If you don't mind, I can pass along a message to him for you."

"This..."

Eriri hesitated.

After all, inviting a boy to her home wasn't something to be relayed lightly.

Megumi, ever perceptive, noticed her dilemma and offered an alternative.

"Or I can let Rei Ao know that you came looking for him, and you two can meet later."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

This option was perfect.

Eriri nodded eagerly, thanked Megumi, and left the room with a bounce in her step.

Megumi watched her retreating figure thoughtfully.

"Maybe these bonds aren't enough yet."

…

Rei Ao, meanwhile, was entirely unaware that his girlfriends were busy finding new additions for his ever-growing list of connections.

He had more immediate concerns: his latest level-up.

Not just one level—two.

[Ding!]

[You've reached Level 50. New feature unlocked: Chatroom Subgroup Functionality]!

…

"Oh?"

This was a new feature.

…

[Chatroom Subgroup Functionality]

Feature 1: World Subgroups

(Members from the same world can join the same subgroup. Both main and subgroup members can communicate here.)

Feature 2: (Locked)

…

World Subgroups, huh?

Rei Ao opened the chatroom interface, spotting a variety of newly added world-specific subgroups.

Sure enough, every world now had its own group, populated by the main chatroom and subgroup members.

For instance, the subgroup for Saeko Busujima's world included people like Saya Takagi.

However, the subgroup for Frieren's world had only one member: Frieren herself.

The best part? As the chatroom admin, Rei Ao had unrestricted access to enter and communicate in any group he pleased.

"Interesting."

A mischievous smile crept onto his face. The possibilities were endless.
