Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 276 - : I Discovered a Huge Secret!?

Ogata Rizu clutched the hem of her clothes with both hands, looking so tense it was as if she were awaiting a verdict. Coupled with her fair, youthful face and large bust, the sight unintentionally made one want to "pick on" her.

Rei Ao curled his lips into a mischievous smile. He stared into her eyes and asked in return:

"So, what do you think should be done with someone who knows this many secrets?"

"Ugh!"

Ogata Rizu shuddered.

She had seen this kind of thing in movies as well.

"In situations like this, people usually wipe the person's memory or... kill them to keep it secret."

Having said that, Ogata Rizu immediately looked terrified.

"Will I end up like that too..."

"Hahaha!"

However, Rei Ao merely laughed aloud.

He placed a large hand on her short hair and ruffled it, saying with a smile, "Don't scare yourself. No one's going to wipe your memory, and you're not going to be killed. As long as you know not to go blabbing, you'll be fine."

"Of course, if you want to seal off this memory, I can help you."

The concept of 'freezing'—freezing memories—is no big deal for me.

"I—I don't want that!"

Ogata Rizu insisted, "I don't want to seal my memories."

"No problem."

Rei Ao shrugged.

"And if you ever want to step into that 'new world,' you can come to me. Just make sure you think it through carefully first."

Finally, he patted her on the head.

"For now, just go home and rest up."

In the next instant, Rei Ao vanished from her sight.

"... ..."

Ogata Rizu stared dumbly at the empty space for a long while.

"Rizu?"

A voice called out behind her.

It was her father.

"Rizu, what are you doing there? Your teacher just called looking for you. Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing, Dad. I just went by the school for a bit."

She answered.

Ogata Rizu touched the top of her head, which still retained a faint warmth, then turned and walked into the house with her father.

"New world..."

Outwardly, she appeared calm, yet her mind was already in turmoil.

...

She wasn't the only one whose heart was unsettled. Furuhashi Fumino, who had been sent home by Kirisu Mafuyu, also felt the same way.

"I'm home~"

Furuhashi Fumino greeted out of habit upon entering her house, even though it was practically empty inside, with no one around to respond.

Fumino was born into a family specializing in the sciences; they were quite well off. Her mother worked in the field of astronomy, while her father was a professor in the mathematics department at a university.

Because her mother had instilled in her a love of astronomy from a young age, Furuhashi dreamed of working in that field in the future.

However, after her mother passed away, her father was so stricken with grief that he gradually grew cold toward her. He even saw her applying to a science-focused university as absurd.

Nevertheless, Furuhashi Fumino persisted in her dream.

Their father–daughter relationship became strained, and her father scarcely came home after that, essentially living in the faculty dorms at his university.

Furuhashi had already grown used to it.

She closed the door behind her as she entered, and started stripping off her clothes right from the entryway all the way to the bathroom.

Ogata Rizu's situation had frightened her enough that she was drenched in a cold sweat, so she wanted to take a long soak in the bath to relax herself, just in case.

While running hot water into the bathtub, she rinsed off in the shower.

Once everything was ready, Furuhashi sealed her phone inside a transparent waterproof pouch and eased herself into the tub.

After all, soaking in the bath didn't have to get in the way of using her phone.

"Ahh..."

Enveloped by the warm water, she let out a contented sigh.

"Ding!"

Her phone chimed with a notification. She opened it to see a message from Rei Ao:

"Ogata's home now."

Furuhashi Fumino could finally relax.

But then...

She suddenly noticed something odd about the two photos Rei Ao had sent. She flipped back and forth between them carefully. Indeed, there was something off.

"Huh? This..."

Furuhashi was so shocked that she covered her mouth with a wet hand.

In those two photos, Rei Ao and Ogata Rizu were holding hands!

That kind of close contact...isn't it inappropriate?

After all, Rei Ao actually has a live-in girlfriend—Sakurajima Mai.

Her imagination, fueled by her literature-trained mind, began weaving a twisted "white love affair" drama of betrayal:

"Eek! Rei Ao would never... would he?"

She tried to stop her train of thought. Rei Ao's girlfriend was the Sakurajima Mai, after all.

Upon meeting Sakurajima Mai, Furuhashi realized why she'd felt such familiarity. Later, she remembered that Sakurajima Mai was once that celebrated child actress who had started her career so young.

Apparently, for some reason, Mai had chosen to quit show business. Most likely it was because she was dating Rei Ao and living together with him.

Of course, Furuhashi wouldn't go spreading such secrets around. The main point, though, was that with such a beautiful and famous girlfriend, she really couldn't imagine any reason for Rei Ao to cheat.

And on top of that, to cheat with Ogata Rizu—someone they had barely spoken to, and only met a few times.

That was what she told herself, but...

Looking at the photos of those two holding hands, with Ogata Rizu looking so shy, how could she not overthink it?!

"How did this happen..."

Furuhashi could only force a wry smile.

She truly wanted to keep studying under Ilia's guidance, because she could actually feel her own science skills improving.

But now the problem before her was quite troublesome.

If Rei Ao really were betraying Mai and got together with Ogata Rizu, there's no way that secret would remain hidden forever.

If it ever blew up... the consequences would be disastrous!

By then, they probably wouldn't even be able to stay friends. And Furuhashi herself would likely lose the chance to go to Rei Ao's place to study.

She had finally found the joy of studying together with others, and now, this threatened to ruin everything.

"I really don't want something like that to happen!"

Just imagining such a scene left Furuhashi distraught, her entire mood plummeting.

"No, I have to put a stop to this before it goes any further!"

On one hand, it was for her own studies, and on the other, for everyone's friendship.

Furuhashi decided she would take action to prevent this awful scenario from happening.

She was simply too caught up in the moment to recall something crucial:

Earlier, Futaba had already hugged and kissed Rei Ao—and Sakurajima Mai hadn't done much about it, had she?

...

Of course Sakurajima Mai cared.

She was definitely jealous.

The moment Rei Ao came home, she pushed him into the bedroom and slammed it shut behind them.

Click!

The door was locked.

Seeing this, Tohru and the others were left utterly perplexed.

"What about Kirisu? How's she?"

Mai got straight to the point, her expression full of envy.

For most people, this might have been a dead-end situation, but Rei Ao could handle it without any trouble.

Without a word, he scooped Mai into his arms, pressing her back against the door.

Then, as she looked on in surprise, he leaned in and kissed her.

Moments later, Mai—who hadn't intended to resist at all—trembled slightly, closing her eyes and gripping his collar tightly with both hands.

An answer?

Sorry, Rei Ao preferred to let his actions speak for him.
