Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 364: I’m Ready!

"Ugh..."

Kanna puffed out her cheeks in a wronged pout.

Perhaps Rei Ao felt a moment of pity, loosening the hand that was pinning her. Without its restraint, Kanna lunged straight into Rei Ao's chest. She made contact!

Immediately, she balled her tiny fists and began pounding on his chest.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

A series of soft, adorably muffled sounds rang out. On Rei Ao's body, it felt no more than a light tickle.

Seeing this, Tohru asked in surprise, "Kanna, how'd you get this hungry?"

"Hungry?"

Michiru didn't understand. "But Kanna ate electricity and drank milk today."

Tohru shook her head at that.

"No, there's no way milk could satisfy a dragon's hunger. To truly fill Kanna up, you'd need electricity in the thousands or tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours."

"Huh?!"

Michiru stared in wide-eyed astonishment.

"Kanna, why didn't you tell me about this?"

She'd thought she could manage to take care of Kanna.

"Uuh..."

Kanna stopped her little punches, not daring to meet Michiru's eyes.

"My guess is that Kanna didn't want you to worry, Michiru—so she kept it to herself," Rei Ao explained gently, stroking Kanna's head. At the same time, he held out his left hand near her mouth.

Both Michiru and Kanna saw a blue glowing sphere, about the size of a large marble, coalesce in his palm.

"!!!"

Kanna's eyes lit up as though she'd seen something delicious, her mouth almost watering.

"Go on, eat it. This much should keep you satisfied for a good while," Rei Ao said of the marble—a small cluster of condensed magic energy. As of late, Tohru's eager "exercise" with him was also a way of recharging. Now, feeding a few dragons was easy business for him.

"Gulp..."

Despite how eagerly her eyes sparkled, Kanna still hesitated and refrained from taking a bite. Instead, she glanced back at Tohru. Tohru couldn't help putting a hand to her forehead.

"Well, if Rei Ao's letting you eat it, go ahead."

"Aah—CHOMP!!!"

With Tohru's permission, Kanna wasted no time biting it in one go. At once, her face took on a look of deep contentment.

"Hey!"

She even burped on the spot.

"So full."

Kanna went entirely limp in Rei Ao's arms, rubbing her stuffed belly and unwilling to move.

"???"

Michiru had a huge question mark hovering over her head.

"Rei...Rei Ao-kun, you..."

She completely failed to understand how Rei Ao had just fed Kanna.

"I simply gathered some magic at will to replenish the magic Kanna was lacking," he explained, not minding at all.

"A-at will..."

That phrase immediately set off alarm bells in her head, and her face changed drastically.

"Rei Ao-kun, you're...not an ordinary human, are you?!"

Before Rei Ao could answer, Kanna's body lit up with a golden glow. The next moment, the light formed a shape both Tohru and Rei Ao recognized at once.

"Lucoa!"

Tohru blurted the name. Indeed, the luminous figure that took shape was Lucoa, famed for her "world-class body." She squinted contentedly, scanning Tohru and Rei Ao, lips curving upward.

"Kanna found you two after all."

Rei Ao perceived what was going on with a single look.

"So that's how Kanna was able to cross over—because you deliberately let her pass through the dimensional barrier?"

"Exactly."

Lucoa said cheerfully, "I left a small piece of myself on Kanna so I could have a brief conversation with you."

"Lucoa, why do something like that? What did you hope to gain by sending Kanna over here?"

Kanna was still just a hatchling. If she hadn't met Rei Ao, she might not have gotten enough to eat. Tohru really couldn't understand why Lucoa sent her.

Lucoa explained, "Actually, Kanna was banished by the dragons for mischief."

"Huh?"

"They banished Kanna just for mischief? Those dragons must have no sense of humor!" Tohru found it hard to believe.

"Eh, it's dragon business, not up to me. The dragons aren't exactly a unified group. Many dragons are extremely proud—if not outright arrogant."

Lucoa sighed. "Once Kanna was banished, she followed Tohru's scent and somehow crossed the dimensional barrier. I figured that with you, Tohru, and Rei Ao in the human world, you'd be able to look after her. So I let her through."

She looked at Kanna kindly. "Kanna, how are you doing over there?"

Kanna patted her tummy blissfully. "So full."

"Haha, it seems you really can take good care of Kanna. I'll leave her to you. The magic I left behind is about to be used up. We'll meet again in the future."

Snap!

With that, the shining figure vanished. Lucoa's image faded away.

"Sigh, the dragons and Lucoa. They always have a way of causing trouble."

The dragons' actions had clearly annoyed Tohru. She turned to Rei Ao. "Rei Ao, what now?"

She wanted to keep Kanna, but she was leaving the final decision to him.

"It's just a little dragon—feeding her is no big deal."

As he spoke, Rei Ao tapped a finger against Kanna's round cheek, then asked, "Kanna, do you want to stay here?"

"... ..."

Kanna blinked, hopped down from his lap, and trotted over to the still-dumbstruck Michiru, grabbing her hand.

"Michiru stays too."

"Eh?"

Michiru, who was already shaken by everything that had transpired, stared blankly. She had no idea what Kanna's sudden comment meant.

"Seems you're pretty attached to Michiru, Kanna," said Rei Ao, stroking his chin in thought. At last, he had an idea.

"Well then, if Michiru's okay with it, you can stay at her place—but any time you feel hungry or want to visit, just come here and I can let you have some magic."

"Alright!"

Kanna's eyes glowed. One person was the kindhearted soul who'd taken her in the first place; the other was her good friend Tohru, plus this man who gave her tasty magic. She didn't want to give up either. Rei Ao's suggestion fulfilled all of Kanna's wishes at once.

"Michiru, what do you think?"

It was all well and good that Kanna was pleased, but Rei Ao knew that the final decision rested with Michiru.

"... ..."

Michiru still hadn't calmed down inside. Her expression looked complicated.

"Rei Ao-kun, before we go any further, could you explain what's really going on—and who exactly you are?"

By this point, she'd have to be a fool not to see that Rei Ao was anything but normal.

"Since you've already gotten involved with these things, I can tell you what I am," Rei Ao replied. Still, he didn't reveal anything outright. Instead, he asked again, "Are you ready to face a world beyond ordinary life?"

"... ..."

Yes. When she first encountered Kanna the little dragon, her world had already shifted beyond normalcy. Holding Kanna's hand, Michiru took a deep breath and answered resolutely, "I'm ready!"

Some voice inside told her that if she missed this opportunity, she'd regret it for the rest of her life.
