Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 226 - : Teaching, Husband Candidate? (Bonus - )

When dinner was ready, Futaba also emerged from her tightly shut room.

Shyness only lasts a moment; what must be faced still must be faced.

At the dining table, Rei Ao introduced her future "family."

She already knew Sakurajima Mai, but the other three left her shocked, one more than the next: two newly awakened "magical book" girls, and a dragon!

If she herself weren't so unusual, she would have assumed she was dreaming.

Futaba also understood that the kiss earlier signified her relationship with Rei Ao. With nothing held back, Rei Ao told her everything—an absolute trust in her. She felt happy and moved by everyone's acceptance.

Even knowing Rei Ao's tendency to have multiple loves, Futaba didn't mind as much now.

"Please take care of me."

With a deep bow to everyone, Futaba resolved to blend into this family.

"Please take care of me!"

Following her example, Sora also bowed. Ilia sighed.

"Sora, there's no need to be that formal and stiff if we're all family."

"Huh?"

Sora pouted, hands on her hips.

"I was just doing what you taught me. Geez—this is such a pain!"

She hmphed and plopped down to start devouring her meal without caring about "manners" any further.

"Are...are they...?"

Futaba saw Sora and Ilia seeming to bicker and got worried.

Rei Ao took her hand in reassurance:

"They're not quarreling."

"It's just that Ilia wanted to teach Sora a bit about courtesy and such—basically she's like a mini-teacher now."

Sora's personality was quite uninhibited, only acting obedient around Rei Ao and the others at home. Toward outsiders, she definitely showed no polite face. So Ilia felt it necessary to guide Sora a bit, hoping she could at least adjust some behaviors for Rei Ao's sake when guests came. But she never forced her—Sora agreed voluntarily. There had been some progress, but Sora was easily annoyed by it. They all were used to such scenes.

"Oh...I see..."

Futaba breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want strife arising on her first day joining the family.

Sakurajima Mai nodded as well:

"Ilia's extremely knowledgeable. She's also good at teaching people."

Mai herself had learned things from Ilia—how unbelievably knowledgeable she was. Despite not having been in this world long, she knew more than Mai did. Ilia just stayed modest:

"That really isn't anything special—mostly it's from my nature as the magical book 'Ilias's Fragment.' Recording knowledge and using support magic are just fitting for study and teaching."

"Hmm?"

Rei Ao paused in surprise, noticing something: "Using support magic for teaching...?"

He suddenly recalled the matter of Kirsu Mafuyu earlier in the day. She had asked him for help with two problem students, Ogata Rizu and Furuhashi Fumino. Rei Ao himself didn't want to waste time teaching. But with Ilia's help, it might be possible—and far more efficient, too. Letting Ilia teach them could also be an excuse for him to stay close at hand.

Once that idea appeared in his head, he couldn't stop thinking about it. After dinner, he left the house.

Where was he going?

Obviously...

...

"Rei Ao-kun, why are you here?"

Dressed casually, Kirsu Mafuyu peered warily through the gap of her half-closed door, looking at him who had rung her bell.

He had come to see her.

Rei Ao greeted her with a smile:

"Good evening, Ms. Mafuyu."

"Oh, evening."

"Is now a good time? I'd like to discuss those two problem students of yours from earlier."

"Er..."

She had been about to say she was busy and wanted to shut the door, but hearing it was about Furuhashi and Ogata, she swallowed her words. After her expression changed and she bit her lip like she'd summoned all her courage, she replied:

"Fine. C-come in."

That embarrassed reluctance gave Rei Ao a guess. Changing into the slippers she offered, he entered her apartment.

"..."

As he took it all in, it was exactly the same chaos as the first time he'd visited.

"Ugh!"

Mafuyu wanted to dig a hole and hide. In her mortification, she tried explaining:

"A-as you know, I really have no skill at housekeeping. I'm completely...useless."

Admitting that nearly drove her to tears. Rei Ao shook his head, sighing softly:

"Ms. Mafuyu, if this goes on, I fear you'll never get married."

"Huh?! Is it that extreme?"

Mafuyu started to sweat bullets. Even Rei Ao said so—was she really doomed to remain single?

"Mm, it's highly likely," Rei Ao replied, not just scaring her. In an actual marriage, a total inability to handle household tasks was rough. Maybe men would marry her for her beauty, but living day to day, conflicts might arise—leading to divorce, or so he reasoned.

"..."

Mafuyu felt her whole outlook dim. Then Rei Ao unexpectedly said:

"I do know a guy who wouldn't mind your flaws. Should I introduce him?"

"Eh?"

She blinked, not expecting that—he was offering to set her up? She'd just been told she'd never marry; part of her was anxious. But for a teacher's dignity, she tried to remain indifferent.

"I, well, I don't have any interest in that sort of thing right now."

"Right? That's too bad."

"???"

She'd thought he would persist or at least keep talking, but he just dropped it. Rei Ao took in the clutter around him, apparently done with that topic.

Mafuyu bit her lip, coughing slightly.

"Ahem. If you insist, you could give me his contact info."

Rei Ao looked back, narrowing his eyes.

"Didn't you say you didn't need it?"

"U-um, I just didn't want to waste your kind offer," Mafuyu stuttered, unable to admit she'd really grown desperate for a possible marriage candidate.

Noting her flustered heart, Rei Ao didn't call her out. He gave her the contact. Mafuyu, who feigned indifference, recorded it quite seriously. Seeing that, Rei Ao smiled.

Yes, the man he was recommending indeed wouldn't mind her. But he was also sure to shock her.
