Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 272 - : Lucoa

"Where... am I?"

Having tumbled headlong, Rizu Ogata looked around in confusion. Darkness surrounded her, with only weeds, bushes, and trees visible. She could hear all sorts of insect chirping in her ears, and the smell of soil and greenery filled her nose.

She clearly remembered being at school. She had seen some bizarre glowing crack in the hallway; approaching it for a closer look, the surroundings had abruptly changed.

"A forest?"

The strange shift and the deep, shadowy environment made her heart pound faster. The rustling of leaves in the wind gave her a constant feeling that something could jump out at any moment. Crouching down, she realized she had no idea where to go, or how to get back.

"What in the world is happening...?"

Fear gradually flooded her mind.

"Roar!!!"

A terrifying beast's growl pushed her anxiety to its peak.

"Ugh..."

She could only huddle by a tree, arms wrapped around her knees, praying, "This has to be a dream..."

Rizu desperately hoped she would wake up in school or at home. But that hope was dashed—this was reality.

"Roar!!!"

A loud roar made Rizu tremble. She timidly raised her eyes to see something so horrifying her heart leapt into her throat. Right in front of her were two pairs of lantern-like eyes, staring at her.

Rustle...

With a swaying of the undergrowth, the owner of those glowing eyes stepped forward. Under faint moonlight shining through the thick canopy, Rizu saw it clearly—a drooling black panther. Even a normal panther would be enough to scare an unarmed adult witless, let alone this monstrous one, its size far beyond her imagination. On all fours, it was already tall enough that she'd have to look up even if she stood.

Rizu had no doubt those claws and fangs could easily pierce her skull.

"!!!"

Her mind went blank. What to do? Maybe, if it were an ordinary leopard, she might still have the courage to flee or resist—but against this oversized apex predator, her legs simply turned to jelly.

"Will anyone...help me...?"

Seeing the panther lazily padding forward, drooling at the prospect of treating her like prey, tears trickled down Rizu's cheeks. She was so frightened, she cried.

"Roar!!!"

It seemed the creature had savored her terror enough and opened its jaws wide, pouncing at her.

"!!!"

Just as her life began flashing before her eyes, she saw the dark night suddenly blaze with the radiance of the sun. A beam of light descended from above.

Boom!

That beam swallowed up the panther's body—literally swallowed it. Rizu watched, stunned, as the panther's body visibly dissolved in the light. When the brilliance faded, the panther was gone, leaving only a scorched patch of ground.

The sun-like radiance had come from the sky. Gawking, Rizu lifted her head.

"... ..."

She stared, dumbfounded, her face betraying utter disbelief. What had she just witnessed? A creature, massive as a mountain, shimmered in midair with the brightness of the sun. From a distance, she couldn't even discern its shape—was it snake-like, dragon-like, bird-like? She couldn't tell. But in the blink of an eye, that sun-like entity vanished, its lingering glow gradually overtaken by darkness once more.

"It's an illusion..."

Having had her worldview shattered, Rizu was already trying to self-hypnotize. But—

"It's not an illusion, y'know~"

A woman's voice yanked her out of that self-hypnosis. Suddenly, there stood in front of her a golden-haired, narrow-eyed woman. Rizu's gaze instantly locked onto the woman's world-class bust.

'So huge!'

Rizu thought her own chest was already burdensome, but this woman's was on another level—a truly world-class figure. At that moment, the half-lidded woman opened her eyes, revealing heterochromatic pupils: her right eye green, her left eye a darker color with a yellow iris. Eyeing Rizu for a few seconds, she spoke with fascination:

"Never expected to run into a visitor from the human realm today."

"Hu—human realm?"

She used a term Rizu couldn't begin to understand.

"Yes, well, an ordinary human from the human realm wouldn't know." The woman placed a finger at her lips, giving off a slightly airheaded vibe. "Anyway, I shouldn't skip introductions. Hello, I'm Quetzalcoatl—Lucoa—Guardian of the World, currently in charge of handling issues arising between what we now call the 'Dragon Realm' and the 'Human Realm.'"

"... ..."

Rizu stood in stunned silence.

Quetzalcoatl...Dragon Realm...Human Realm... None of it made sense. She looked upward, feeling the chilly breeze. All she could think was, I want to go home...

...

"Why couldn't we have waited until we got home to do this...?"

Sitting in Rei Ao's lap, panting softly, Shinoa wore a gloomy expression. She never imagined her first experience would happen on a rooftop—while a fierce battle raged and more and more onlookers arrived to watch.

"Obviously because this is more exciting."

Rei Ao fiddled with her hair playfully.

"Bah, you're just a pervert."

Off to the side, Mine spat crossly, clearly jealous and unhappy. Leone, however, wrapped an arm around Mine's neck and laughed boisterously: "I think it's plenty exciting! Mine, should we try it too?"

"You—I..."

Mine blushed furiously and glared at her, but she couldn't manage a refusal. After all, she did want to experience it—just too embarrassed to say so.

But Rei Ao, gently lifting Shinoa in his arms, shook his head. "Even though I'd like to reward all your efforts, it's not possible right now."

After slaying vampires, Akame and her group had grown stronger. Najenda reached level 20, Akame 18, Kurome 15, and the rest—Mine, Sheele, Leone, Chelsea—were level 13. Rei Ao certainly wanted a bit of fun, but the situation didn't allow for it.

In the chat group, Mai had specially called him:

Sakurajima Mai: "@Rei Ao, something's happened over here."
