Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 212 - : A Mother’s Worry... (Bonus Chapter)

About five minutes passed.

Eriri's loud crying gradually subsided to intermittent sobbing. Rei Ao gently patted her back and asked:

"Feeling calmer now?"

"...Yes."

Though Eriri, who was clinging tight to Rei Ao, was still trembling, she had at least soothed her terror somewhat. Suddenly, she recalled her mother's situation and hastily wiped her tears:

"How's my mom?!"

"Don't worry. Mrs. Sawamura is fine."

Rei Ao reassured her: "She was just possessed by a demon from another world called a Night Fiend. Now that the demon's dead, your mother's body is unharmed."

Then, with a playful look, he teased:

"Instead of fretting about your mom, shouldn't you worry more about you and me?"

He pointed at his pants and shoulder, which were visibly damp with wet stains—part from her tears, part from...other fluids. The same for Eriri herself.

"Don't you feel a little chilly in certain places?"

"..."

Eriri naturally realized what had happened.

Social death!!!

She turned ashen, like her soul had left her body.

"Heh heh..."

Sometimes, when people are pushed to the brink of despair, they let out a weird laugh—just like Eriri right now.

"Heh heh... I'm so embarrassed, I can't go on living..."

Showing such a mortifying appearance in front of the boy she liked—she might as well die. In response, Rei Ao, gently pinching her nose, put on an exasperated look:

"You can't die yet. Don't forget our trade."

"Uh!"

That reminder made Eriri recall she was the one who initiated the trade and had been rescued by Rei Ao. Her gaze fell on the trade info, specifically on the trade condition:

「Body usage rights once.」

Seeing those words, Eriri felt her entire body burning up, her mind on the verge of shorting out.

"D-Do we really have to...that...?"

She had never experienced anything of the sort; this unknown frightened her. Big teary eyes pleaded with Rei Ao:

"I'm scared of it..."

"I'm afraid I can't help you there," he replied.

"Rules are rules—and I doubt you want to make things difficult for me, right?"

Rei Ao politely tossed the final say to Eriri. Then he added:

"Besides, I didn't complain about your accident wetting my clothes. Could it be you're disdaining me?"

"Ugh!!!"

Mentioning her accident-induced incontinence once again, Eriri nearly burst into steam. She was still perched on Rei Ao's lap, so at once, she jumped down and stumbled a bit:

"I—I'm going to go shower. J-Just wait for me!"

With that, she clutched her skirt and hurried toward the bathroom.

"Uh..."

Not long after Eriri entered the bathroom, the figure on the sofa—Kaori Sawamura—regained consciousness. Pressing her hand to her slightly sore head, she sat up:

(Alright wtf author? Is it Ai or Kaori?)

"What...happened to me?"

"Mrs. Sawamura, do you remember what just occurred?"

Rei Ao walked over to her.

"Rei Ao-kun? Why are you—"

"Ugh!"

Mid-sentence, Mrs. Sawamura clutched her temple in pain. After a moment, she slowly recalled what happened, including what she had "done" to Eriri.

"Eriri! How's Eriri?!"

She had nearly...hurt her own Eriri. Alarmed, she scanned the room.

"Mrs. Sawamura, Eriri has calmed down. She's taking a bath now."

"Phew... I'm so glad Eriri is all right."

Hearing her daughter was unharmed, Mrs. Sawamura breathed relief. If anything had happened to Eriri, she'd never have forgiven herself.

"Rei Ao-kun, w-what on earth happened to me?"

She now realized how abnormal her state had been. Rei Ao gave a concise explanation:

"You were possessed by a demon from another world. The demon's dead now, so you're safe—just get some rest."

"A demon..."

Knowing Rei Ao mentioned "demons," she was still horrified by actually experiencing it firsthand.

"Thank you, Rei Ao-kun, for saving me and Eriri. If not for you..."

She couldn't bear imagining the outcome.

"I appreciate your thanks," said Rei Ao, "but rushing here wasn't free."

Arms folded, he said bluntly: "Eriri already decided to pay the fee for it."

"Eh? A fee? Money?"

If it was money, Mrs. Sawamura didn't mind. Their family still had plenty—staying alive was worth any price.

But Rei Ao shook his head:

"Not money—Eriri herself."

"Huh?"

She froze. Eriri herself was the payment?

"What does that mean?"

Rei Ao didn't explain much; he simply took the quickest route:

[Ding! You have chosen in the group sub-chat to grant a role to Kaori Sawamura!]

"This...!!!"

Mrs. Sawamura looked in astonishment at the group chat before her eyes. The knowledge streaming into her mind explained what a "trade" was.

"Eriri and Rei Ao-kun have... made a trade..."

She realized now why Rei Ao had said it wasn't money she'd be paying. As she further understood the chat's powers, she was even more stunned by Rei Ao's abilities. Reading Eriri's "Save me!" entry, she could imagine how terrified her daughter must have been. Mrs. Sawamura's heart ached. But one thing left her perplexed:

"Rei Ao-kun, this condition—'body usage rights'—what exactly does it mean?"

It was what Eriri offered as payment. Looking at Rei Ao's calm expression, she saw him respond evenly:

"Frankly, I don't need to say it—you must have a clue, right?"

"..."

Yes, she had already guessed. Having Rei Ao confirm it left her expression complicated. The deal had already begun. Mrs. Sawamura was a sensible person. Realizing the uniqueness of Rei Ao and this group chat, she didn't say anything about canceling the trade. Instead, she breathed a sigh, as if letting go:

"Rei Ao-kun, I'm in no position to interfere further. But there's something I'd like clarified."

"Go ahead. I'll answer if I can."

Mrs. Sawamura asked gravely:

"Rei Ao-kun, what do you think of Eriri?"

She could easily tell her daughter had feelings for Rei Ao. But given Rei Ao's special circumstances and his...varied romantic life, she hoped this "deal" would not be merely a cold contract, but perhaps a chance to form a new relationship.
