Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 319: Need to teach a kid a Lesson

"You can feel it, can't you?" Rei Ao asked.

"..."

Luminous murmured instinctively, "My suppressed bloodsucking impulse has disappeared..."

A vampire's bloodsucking impulse is the craving to drink blood.

The hungrier they are, the stronger that impulse becomes.

When hunger reaches its extreme, a vampire's reason is replaced by that bloodthirsty impulse.

She simply possessed a power since childhood that allowed her to suppress this impulse. And because she grew strong quickly and became a Demon Lord, she no longer needed to drink blood.

But that doesn't mean she was without the impulse.

Yet now—

Luminous sensed that the bloodsucking impulse she had been suppressing had vanished.

It was an unprecedented feeling of relief.

Rei Ao specifically explained, "This is my gift to you. Not just you—even your entire race will be able to survive on ordinary food instead of blood in the future. Of course, that doesn't mean you're forbidden from drinking blood."

He had directly changed the whole vampire race.

This could be considered resolving the inherent flaw in that species.

"..."

Luminous's expression was complicated.

She never imagined Rei Ao could do such a thing, nor did she expect he would.

"Thank you..."

That word of thanks carried her sincere gratitude.

"In the future, you're all mine, so you don't need to say thank you. I'd rather see it in your actions."

Actions?

Rei Ao's words left the three of them puzzled.

But behind him, Shion, Shuna, and the others couldn't help blushing. They knew all too well what he meant.

"Heh heh, finally done."

Milim, who had been waiting impatiently, slammed the table and stood up. She shouted eagerly, "Rei Ao, hurry up and fight me!"

"If you're so eager to get beaten, then sure."

Rei Ao didn't mind giving this willful girl a proper lesson on behalf of her two aunts.

"Hmph!"

Milim snorted.

With her sharp canines revealed, she flashed a rather wicked grin.

"You sure it'll be you beating me? I'm gonna smash your head in!!"

She turned and stepped into the spatial portal that had opened up, taking the opportunity to look back and taunt him, "If you're scared, you don't have to come."

"That's how you talk to your uncle? Don't come begging me for mercy later," Rei Ao said with a grin.

"Velzard, Velgrynd, your mischievous niece must have a pretty sturdy butt, right?"

Velgrynd drawled with a chuckle. "Of course. Milim's got a tough hide."

Even Velzard teased, "Rei Ao, don't hold back. Milim was bullying the two of us earlier, you know."

"You all—!"

Each remark only made Milim angrier. Seeing everyone's faint smiles, she stamped her foot in frustration.

"Hmph! Enough talk. Hurry up and follow me!"

The earlier fight with Velzard and Velgrynd was little more than a warm-up.

But now, Milim's competitive spirit had truly been stirred.

Rei Ao waved his hand. "All of you come at me. Let me show you this world's top-tier power."

And so, a fatherly uncle vs. a hotheaded niece—this family showdown was about to begin.

...

Elsewhere—

Having finished part of her cleaning, Kawasaki Saki took a break at Mai's invitation.

"Have some tea,"

Mai said, pouring her a cup of black tea.

"Thank you."

Saki accepted it politely and took a small sip.

As she rested, her thoughts began to wander again, and she couldn't help asking, "Um, does Rei Ao often vanish so suddenly like that?"

She could still vividly recall how Rei Ao had disappeared in a flash right in front of her the moment a new trade notification popped up in the group chat.

"He does leave home a lot."

Mai herself felt quite helpless about it. She wished Rei Ao would stay home every night, be with her every day—

Even if she had to get plowed daily, she'd gladly do so.

But that was impossible. Rei Ao had bigger ambitions.

Everyone in the chat group was his 'prey,' so of course he had to go and make his deals.

"That sounds...tiring," Saki said, though she wasn't sure if that was the right way to put it.

She mainly found it hard to look directly at those trade terms that seemed almost hellish.

Originally, she'd despised such terms and felt nothing but revulsion for Rei Ao.

But after she learned about the experiences of the chat group's members—

Many of them faced life-or-death crisis, helpless until the chance for a trade with Rei Ao appeared as a lifeline.

That made her think of her own experiences:

She, too, had once been kidnapped by a bizarre "banshee" who only wanted to hear her voice.

At first, when she confronted the banshee's terrifying true nature, she was deeply afraid—terrified she might get eaten.

She still remembered that fear clearly.

Without help from Yukinoshita-san and Yui-san, if the trading chat group had appeared in front of her back then, she might have chosen to trade with Rei Ao, just like so many others.

Though offering "the rights to use one's body" felt a bit like taking advantage of the vulnerable, she admitted she had nothing else to trade.

No money, no abilities—her only bargaining chip would have been that.

Putting herself in their shoes, she could no longer wholly deny the logic behind such deals.

At the same time, she grew curious about these worlds Rei Ao visited.

"...What are other worlds like? Sakurajima-san, have you ever been?"

From the group's live streams, she'd only ever seen short snippets and a few people. She had no way to truly experience the otherworldly atmosphere.

"I have," Mai answered. Since they were both in the chat group, there was no need to hide it.

"Could you tell me what it's like?"

"...Sure."

Initially, Mai wasn't planning to spend time explaining, but when she saw the curiosity shining plainly in Saki's eyes, she decided not to refuse.

"Those other worlds... How to put it. I've been to Akame's world. Their empire was steeped in darkness. We..."

Before she knew it, Mai was talking about her experiences and how her mindset changed back then.

When Saki heard about the killing, her face went pale—but then, hearing about the things those Imperial nobles had done, she quickly became indignant, even blurting out that they deserved to die.

In this way, their conversation drew them closer.

Not far away, two people watched them.

Sora, hugging a bag of potato chips, pouted unhappily. "Why do I feel like we'll have one more person living here soon?"

ilia glanced at her calmly. "Are you already upset about just one more person?"

"Huh?"

"I'm just saying... there will be a lot more in the future."
