Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 442: Yukino’s worry...

Late at night, in Yukino's apartment.

Mabel sidled up to Yukino.

"Yukino, why do you keep touching your stomach? Did Rei Ao hurt you or something?"

She'd noticed all afternoon how Yukino repeatedly touched her lower abdomen, as though she was worried about something.

"..."

"It's nothing."

That was Yukino's calm reply as she shot Mabel a glance.

"Aren't you going to bed?"

"Heh heh, I just wanted to...check on you, that's all."

She was trying to make amends. Mabel was still making up for running away the other day. If Yukino decided not to buy her any more treats, she'd be doomed.

"Not necessary."

Yukino wasn't about to forgive this ungrateful ingrate so quickly. Without another word, she stood up.

"If you're not going to sleep, I'm going to bed."

She headed straight to her room.

Click.

The door closed.

"Huh?"

Mabel, who had prepared an array of apologies and attempts to butter Yukino up, was left completely dumbfounded. She's still mad at me! She doesn't even want to talk!

She began to panic. This felt like big trouble.

But she was overthinking it. Yukino wouldn't go so far as to cut off her standard of living—after all, Rei Ao was the one footing the bill. She'd even worry if Mabel tried dieting, concerned it might make her too thin.

The real reason Yukino had retreated was more personal. She glanced at her abdomen, pursed her lips, and hesitantly sent Rei Ao a private message:

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Are you there?"

Rei Ao: "Mhm, what made you decide to message me at this hour?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "I..."

She really couldn't bring herself to say it, especially when it was Rei Ao on the other end.

Seeing her hesitate, Rei Ao had a guess.

Rei Ao: "What's wrong? Some kind of embarrassing topic?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Yes..."

Rei Ao: "Yukino, we've done everything there is to do. There's no need to be shy anymore."

Rei Ao: "How about I show you something to lighten the mood? [Image]"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Please do not send a girl pictures of your pecs in the middle of the night – that's sexual harassment. I'll call the police."

Yes, the photo in question was of Rei Ao's sculpted chest. Yukino had personally touched and examined it up-close before. Even she had to admit...it was perfect.

Rei Ao: "Haha, sorry, but calling the police won't work on me."

Rei Ao: "Anyway, let's talk seriously. What did you want to ask me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Actually... my lower abdomen has been feeling off all day..."

Rei Ao: "Where exactly does it hurt?"

"!!!"

Yukino almost leapt up in alarm—because Rei Ao had suddenly appeared in front of her. Crouching down, he placed his palm against her belly.

Yukino finally snapped out of it.

"W-what are you doing?!"

"What am I doing? Obviously checking you over." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Rei Ao was worried that maybe Yukino, who had a rather delicate constitution, might have been injured from his earlier...exertions. Considering his "Category 8 intensity" wasn't something anyone could brush aside. But apparently, that wasn't the case.

After examining her, Rei Ao glanced up. Meeting Yukino's shy, watery gaze, he said quietly,

"There's nothing wrong with you. It's just that there's still a lot of residue inside. Is that making you uncomfortable?"

"!!!"

He'd said something rather scandalous. Yukino's face grew hot.

"Stop saying crude things!"

"All right, all right."

Rei Ao relented. "But will you tell me where exactly it hurts, then?"

"Hoo..."

She took a deep breath, trying to steady the shame roiling inside her. In as calm a voice as she could muster—though it still trembled—she said:

"Today...wasn't one of my 'safe' days..."

"Oh?"

He arched an eyebrow. Noting how her eyes kept darting away, he deduced what she was worried about. Smiling knowingly, he hooked a finger under her smooth, delicate chin.

"You already asked me this once, remember? Back when you were worried about Mabel, you asked if she might end up pregnant."

"The same answer I gave you then still holds."

"But this time, I'll add one more thing."

He leaned in closer. Yukino's heartbeat pounded in her ears. She wondered if she should dodge away, but in that moment of hesitation, Rei Ao spoke again:

"What I want to add is: if you do end up carrying my child, I'll take care of you both for the rest of my life. I promise."

"!"

It was just a verbal reassurance, with no way to prove it—but it tugged mightily on Yukino's heart. She recalled how the moment she mentioned feeling unwell, he'd come at once to check on her.

She wasn't sure why, but she suddenly wanted to believe his words. A warm rush of emotion and a gentle happiness swept over her.

Right then, the inclination to dodge melted away—and Rei Ao picked up on that. Without hesitation, he pressed his lips to hers. Before long, they were holding one another in mutual affection. For the first time, Yukino surrendered to that embrace of her own accord.

When the passionate kiss ended, her soft body rested against his sturdy, reassuring chest, and at some point, their fingers had become entwined.

"Rei Ao...would you lie to me?"

"I wouldn't. Our time can last forever."

He was the type who wouldn't even hide his most perverse side in a live broadcast to the chat group, so lying to the women in his life was far from necessary. He slipped an arm around Yukino's slender waist. She trembled slightly but didn't pull away. Sensing this, Rei Ao grew bolder. Leaning down, he whispered heatedly into her ear:

"Yukino, will you come be with me, like Mai and the others?"

"..."

Tilting her head up, Yukino met his gaze with eyes that gleamed like crystal. It was hard to read the emotion in them. She gave no direct answer, only spoke in a cool, measured tone:

"Rei Ao, do you take me for a trivial woman?"

"Let me be perfectly clear: in my life, no one I dislike will ever touch me, and there will never be a second man who touches my body."

"I, Yukinoshita Yukino, am absolutely not an easy woman, not even for a trade."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

Rei Ao's eyes flickered with comprehension. After so many past relationships, he knew exactly what she was saying.

"I understand."

"Then, Yukino...let me be that only one for the rest of your life."

Once more, he kissed her lips.

"Mm."

Yukino's cheeks flamed with heat, but she responded gently, pressing closer. In that hazy warmth, the two of them opened their hearts fully to one another—right until:

Ring, ring, ring!

A piercing phone call shattered the atmosphere.
