Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 425: A Family of Three, Kanna’s Enrollment Day!

Just as Rei Ao had told Shizuka Hiratsuka, once everything was over, he lay quietly with Yukino in his arms, chatting.

Rei Ao laid bare his true feelings, saying he wanted her true heart. That was undoubtedly his true desire.

And Yukino, with a complex look in her eyes, gazed at him for a long while. She softly opened her lips and said, "I know it's unrealistic for you to abandon everyone else just for me."

That was inevitable.

By now, Yukino could sense why the others were so enamored of Rei Ao. He had a sincere openness, with no lies—his honest "reality."

Although that "reality" might be unacceptable to many people, Yukino herself couldn't wholly embrace it. Nonetheless, she definitely did not dislike Rei Ao—she just felt confused about her own thoughts.

So she said, "I'm sorry, Rei Ao-kun. Right now, I can't give you an answer. Please give me time to clear my head."

She wanted to figure out her own feelings before responding.

"Of course. I won't force anything on you."

Rei Ao casually took out three crystalline charms. He turned one into a necklace and personally put it around her neck.

"This is the protective charm I promised you—take it."

"Mm."

Yukino's eyes glimmered with a soft light as she touched the necklace at her chest.

At the same time, she heard Rei Ao say, "Yukino—remember what you promised me earlier?"

"Huh? What?"

"That we'd teach Mabel a lesson together next time. You won't refuse me, right?"

"Eh?!"

In an instant, Yukino's whole body flushed red.

D-did that mean they'd do that again...?

Logic told her she should refuse.

Yet her body's honesty spoke in a nod she couldn't control. "Mm."

Rei Ao smiled brilliantly and kissed Yukino once more, though this time only briefly.

"Get some rest. Today's the weekend."

...

Morning sunlight streamed in warmly.

Haruno opened her bleary eyes, quietly savoring a rare moment of calm.

After a while, she sat up, her shapely figure stretching languidly.

"Let's see if Yukino's awake yet~."

Haruno left the bedroom. She saw Yukino's door was closed. Not sure if Yukino was inside, she headed for the living room first.

There, she spotted Mabel at the dining table, glumly gnawing on some bread. With Yukino not having woken up to cook, that was the best breakfast Mabel could manage.

"You..."

Haruno spoke up suddenly, and Mabel turned around.

"... ..."

Haruno froze. At this closer distance, the girl was so lovely and delicate, with a faintly cool aura.

"You're Yukino's sister?"

"Uh... yes. Do you know where Yukino is?"

Haruno politely asked.

"She's still sleeping," Mabel answered weakly, pointing to the main bedroom.

"Oh, okay."

Haruno went to Yukino's bedroom door, knocking gently.

"Yukino, are you up?"

"... ..."

After a while, Yukino's voice came from inside the room.

"Yes, Sis. I'm still sleepy. Do whatever you want; I'm going back to bed."

"Huh?"

Haruno looked a little surprised. Yukino rarely slept in, as her routine was always so regulated. But soon she let it go.

Perhaps Yukino had stayed up half the night bringing Haruno back, cleaning her clothes, and was utterly exhausted.

"In that case, since it's the weekend, rest as long as you like. This noon, I'll cook a fancy meal for you, mmkay?"

"... ..."

Silence fell inside the room.

Yukino, curled up beneath the blankets and seeing the messy state around her, felt too drained to do anything. She closed her tired eyes and drifted back to sleep.

...

Meanwhile, after leaving Yukino's place, Rei Ao had no downtime.

He went to the appointed spot where he was supposed to meet Michiru.

There, he saw Michiru holding Kanna's hand under the shade of a tree, waiting for him.

Today, they were finalizing Kanna's enrollment. Kanna's official identity had her recorded as Rei Ao's younger sister—arranged for him by Raphiel.

For Kanna, Emilia, and any other folks from different worlds, leaving it to an angel to handle ID paperwork was foolproof.

"Let's go, Michiru."

"Yeah."

They had chosen an elementary school very close to their integrated academy. As they prepared to head in, Kanna suddenly took Rei Ao's hand as well. Both Rei Ao and Michiru noticed, and now the three of them formed a "big-little-big" chain with Kanna holding hands in the middle.

They looked just like a warm, loving family—and with their respective attractiveness (handsome, pretty, cute)—they quickly drew gazes from passersby. Some even quietly commented, "Wow, that family of three is so good-looking!"

A—a family of three?

Michiru blushed deeply.

"H-hey, Rei Ao-kun, let's go in?"

"Sure."

Rei Ao smiled and, holding Kanna's hand, walked into the elementary school they'd already contacted.

...

Elsewhere...

"Snnff snnff!"

While Kobayashi led Shin around a shopping mall, Shin suddenly flared her nostrils, sniffing at something. Kobayashi noticed her odd behavior.

"Shin, what are you doing?"

"Mommy, I smell a dragon's scent!"

"That must be Tohru."

Kobayashi, looking utterly unfazed. Maybe once upon a time, she would have been shocked by talk of dragons. But times had changed, and hearing "dragon" didn't really surprise her anymore.

"No, it's not Tohru. It's another dragon!"

Shin's tone was firm.

"Another dragon?"

Kobayashi blinked.

Suddenly, Shin grabbed her hand and, with ridiculous strength, ran, pulling Kobayashi along.

"Mommy, let's go slay that evil dragon!"

"Wha—?"

...

"Om nom! So good!!!"

Having finished her enrollment, Kanna was now sitting on a bench, happily eating ice cream.

"Kanna, slow down—don't eat ice cream like that."

Michiru worried Kanna might get a brain freeze from eating too fast. She still tended to treat Kanna like a normal child, not like a dragon.

The same went for Kobayashi, who had just been pulled over by Shin—she also found it hard to picture Kanna as a dragon. This was the "evil dragon" Shin spoke of? She looked more like a silly dragon, right?

"Stare—"

Off to one side, Shin was staring hard at Kanna with her big eyes.

"Um, do you want some? Kanna can share."

Kanna offered the ice cream to Shin.

"Want it!!!"

Instantly, Shin dropped her hostility, took the ice cream, and beamed happily—completely forgetting she'd come to defeat an evil dragon. Kobayashi sighed.

"Shin, how do you respond when someone gives you something?"

"Oh! I have to say thanks!"

Recalling her mom's lessons, Shin straightened up her expression and said to Kanna, "Thank you for the ice cream—it's really yummy!"

"Mm."

Kanna was the classic quiet-loli type. Even though she happily kicked her feet, her face betrayed no expression.
