Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 218 - : Scribbles, Contact Info, Sigh~

Actually, Rei Ao didn't do anything more to Mai in that brief moment.

He only used his tongue to help remove the scribbles from the marker on her body.

He was exceedingly meticulous, leaving out no spot.

Unfortunately, he deliberately didn't let Mai experience that ultimate pinnacle—he stopped halfway.

At that moment, Mai's expression was something he carefully savored:

A look of hazy confusion, tinged with puzzlement;

Within the confusion, a trace of frustrated desire,

And after confirming there would be no follow-up, a yearning but too embarrassed to speak, coupled with an aggrieved, tight-lipped sulk.

He was waiting for Mai to speak up on her own, to beg him to let her experience that "driving to the limit."

Pity that he didn't manage to see it happen this time.

Mai stubbornly ran off.

"It seems Mai still isn't open enough—this won't do."

Rei Ao's goal was truly a "great bedful" (i.e., everyone together). Mai still had a long way to go to reach that point.

He had to train her carefully.

...

When he returned to the classroom as well, two particular gazes caught his notice.

One gaze came from Kato Megumi, her soft, mild eyes calmly watching him.

The other from Hyodo Michiru, who looked hesitant yet kept glancing his way.

After sitting at his desk, he suddenly turned around:

"Hyodo-san, you've been staring at me since I walked in, looking preoccupied. Why?"

"...I..."

Caught off-guard, Hyodo Michiru didn't know how to articulate it.

After organizing her thoughts, she explained her dilemma:

"Actually...my bandmates—the ones you helped out last time—have been wanting your contact info. They keep pestering me, so..."

That gaggle of silly fangirls shoved the task onto her.

Asking a guy for his contact—she felt so awkward doing that.

"That's it?"

He'd thought it might be something serious. Turned out it was just a simple matter.

"No worries; I'll give it to you."

Rei Ao wrote down his details, in case she couldn't memorize them.

Hyodo Michiru thanked him.

After pausing a few seconds, she asked:

"Um, can I add your contact as well?"

"Of course—no problem."

Rei Ao smiled: "When your band has a gig, let me know. If I'm free, I'll come support you."

Hyodo Michiru's eyes lit up: "Rei Ao-kun likes music?"

"Not exactly about liking or disliking. I don't know anything about professional music or have the motivation to learn."

He spoke candidly about his thoughts on music.

"Oh..."

She looked a little disappointed.

But then Rei Ao shifted his tone:

"However, I'm quite skilled at appreciating beauty."

"Appreciating beauty?"

She stared in surprise at the hint of a smile on Rei Ao's face.

He continued:

"Yes. Whether it's the pleasing sound of the music or the confident radiance you show when performing, I can appreciate that."

Her earlobes went slightly pink.

It didn't sound so much like he was talking about the music itself but more like he was praising the person performing it. Something within her was stirred.

To avoid making it awkward, she quickly said:

"All right, then I'll be sure to let you know when we perform next time. And besides, the band wants to thank you for helping us out the other day."

"Haha, deal."

Rei Ao didn't continue with idle chatter and simply turned back around.

It was better to strengthen rapport naturally rather than waste words.

After he faced forward,

"... ..."

Hyodo Michiru gazed at his back blankly, lost in thought about something.

...

During Break

Rei Ao received a text, which was no surprise.

It came from Futaba Rio—specifically, the outward-going version of Futaba Rio at school.

Futaba Rio: "Meet me at the garden."

Just a simple request to head to the garden.

Rei Ao knew she likely wanted to discuss the matter of the inward/introverted Futaba Rio, so he went.

He arrived at the garden to find Futaba Rio quietly waiting on a bench.

Rei Ao casually sat beside her, quipping:

"Haven't heard from you these last couple of days—I thought you'd stopped worrying about her."

Rio turned her head with a self-mocking smile:

"Or maybe there's another possibility: I disappeared entirely."

"Not possible."

But Rei Ao denied it with conviction. A seriousness in his voice:

"I said I wouldn't let either of you vanish, so I won't let it happen."

"..."

Futaba Rio's eyes flickered. She gathered her hair calmly:

"I was just mentioning a possibility. Even so, I do hope you can keep your promise. At the very least, I don't want to disappear."

She gave a faint smile:

"Anyway, to the point: How's she managing at your place? Don't tell me you laid a hand on her already."

"She's adapted fairly well. As for...making a move..."

Rei Ao let out a resigned sigh:

"I've been rather busy and haven't found the chance. A shame."

"..."

Futaba Rio paused.

Though Rei Ao's tone sounded teasing, somehow she sensed he was half-serious.

"I'm starting to think sending her to you was a mistake."

"If you want my opinion: a massive mistake indeed."

Rei Ao's lips curved into a grin:

"You basically dropped a sweet little lamb straight into a wolf's maw. I see no reason not to devour."

"..."

She was at a loss for words—because it was true.

She'd known from the start Rei Ao was a lustful, big bad wolf. She'd still done it.

And hidden in a corner of her heart was envy and anticipation for "her" to get devoured.

Probably from the first time she met Rei Ao and heard his confession, her feelings had grown complicated. She craved attention—especially when recalling Rei Ao's burning gaze from day one. It made her heart sink each time, reminding her. And sitting beside him now, it was the same. She'd rather have Rei Ao notice her than others notice her.

"Anyway, soon I'll return her life to her. Once that happens..."

She would fade away. That was Futaba Rio's intuition.

"Sigh."

Rei Ao exhaled.

"So you really have no faith in me, huh?"

"No..."

She responded seriously:

"I'm actually grateful you noticed me at first sight, grateful you liked a person like me."

"But...I'm ultimately an existence that shouldn't be."

Her tone was both sincere and dejected.

The more she lived her life, the more she understood that her presence—like Rei Ao said, "a puberty delusion"—was a pathological error.

No one understood Futaba Rio better than herself. She had a hunch that once the other Rio overcame her issues, her own existence would lose all purpose.
