Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 230 - : Treyni

"Demon King–seed?"

Velzard shook her head. "Not yet. It's merely a higher-ranked demon stirring up trouble. However, that fellow does indeed have the potential to evolve into a Demon King–seed."

"Huh?"

Izawa Shizue was full of question marks in her head. She had no idea what the other two were talking about.

"Three honored ones, please save this forest!"

Suddenly, a green silhouette appeared in front of the trio.

"And you are?"

She was a mature woman dressed in green clothes with twigs and leaves. Her appearance made Shizue rather puzzled.

"She's a tree dryad. Several days ago, she was already observing you from afar," Velzard said calmly. Merely, since this tree-dryad was quite weak and showed no hostility, neither she nor Velgrynd had bothered to pay attention.

"High-level forest being...a tree-person race?"

Shizue had some impression. It was an extremely rare species.

The woman bowed politely: "Honored ones, my name is Treyni. I am a tree dryad entrusted with guarding this forest—one of its caretakers."

"No need to call me a 'Honored One.' My name is Izawa Shizue. You can just call me Shizue."

"Understood...Shizue-sama," Treyni said respectfully, not daring to show any irreverence. She sensed the trio's powerful aura, so each one of them was far beyond her.

Shizue felt a bit awkward. "Ah...if you must."

Realizing Treyni wanted to plead for help, Shizue asked directly, "You just said, 'Save this forest'? Judging from the chaos, what exactly happened?"

Treyni answered gravely: "Not long ago, tens of thousands of Orc soldiers rushed into the Great Forest, marching like a terrifying army. Every creature in their path is devoured, not even the bones remain. If this continues...the entire forest's living beings will be wiped out!"

"Heh—so they're just Orcs, that sort of low-ranked race." Velgrynd gave a dismissive snort. "If this forest can't even handle Orcs, perhaps it deserves destruction. Survival of the fittest—that's natural law."

All these fleeing beasts were making noise that disturbed her sleep, which left her quite displeased, but she did not see how it was her problem.

Treyni pleaded desperately, "Honored ones, I beg of you—save this forest! I am prepared to offer everything I have!!"

Velgrynd yawned loudly. "I have no interest. I'm going back to sleep now. Humans say we must get enough rest to keep our skin glossy and soft."

"Honored one!" Treyni tried to beg her again, but Velgrynd did not even glance back.

Velzard stood aside watching idly. This little forest caretaker was too insignificant to matter. The pair had no reason to get involved.

Only Shizue, whose heart was kinder, took a long look at Treyni's resolve, her eyes flickering with a strange gleam. "Actually...I think it might be worth considering?"

"Huh?"

Treyni had not responded yet, but Velzard and Velgrynd looked baffled. They knew Shizue was good-natured, yet didn't think she was such a meddler.

Seeing the pair's confusion, Shizue discreetly gestured to them. Soon, they realized what Shizue intended.

Inside the chat group, Shizue sent a message:

Izawa Shizue: "@Rei Ao, are you there? We have a bizarre situation here."

Seeking Rei Ao?

That surprised Velzard and Velgrynd. They exchanged glances, waiting to see Shizue's plan.

Rei Ao responded:

Rei Ao: "What strange matter? Go ahead."

Leaning on his bed, Rei Ao gave the still-sleeping Futaba a glance, then replied to Shizue's DM.

Shizue explained:

Izawa Shizue: "We're in a forest where something happened. According to Velzard and Velgrynd, it involves a Demon King–seed or a high-level demon."

Rei Ao: "In that case, can't your two companions handle it easily?"

From Rei Ao's viewpoint, any non-True Demon Lord–level threats should be trivial for the two dragons.

Shizue: "Yes, but they have no interest in helping."

Busujima Saeko: "Meaning that, for them, it's irrelevant?"

Shizue: "Exactly."

Saeko: "So why bring it up to Rei Ao?"

Shizue: "I suspect Rei Ao might be interested. A dryad wants to beg us for help and is willing to offer everything."

Frieren: "Oh—'a trade,' I see."

Shizue: "Yes, basically. 'Picture Attached'."

Sharing Treyni's image to the chat.

Akame: "So she's not human?"

Frieren: "Beautiful, exuding a sense of nature."

Shizue: "She's Treyni, a Dryad in charge of this Great Forest."

Stella: "Hmm, looks exactly like the sort of woman Rei Ao would fancy...some exotic beauty, right?"

Rei Ao: "She's a forest caretaker—definitely a graceful type."

Stella: "As expected, a lecher."

But Rei Ao was not worried about accusations. He recognized Treyni's identity from another storyline: she should have ended up begging Rimuru for help in a certain scenario. Now she'd encountered Shizue's group first.

He was indeed somewhat intrigued.

"Mm, Rei Ao-kun...you're not asleep yet?" murmured Futaba, stirring against his chest, still connected by a "charger." She hadn't woken fully.

He gently smoothed her hair. "I have some urgent matters that need me to go out. Keep resting, okay?"

"An urgent matter? Something I can help with? If so, just tell me." She offered. But Rei Ao only smiled and shook his head.

...

Meanwhile, in the forest:

Velzard and Velgrynd saw Shizue quietly conversing in the chat group. Realizing Shizue wanted Rei Ao's involvement, they made no comment. If Rei Ao took an interest, so be it; they wouldn't interfere.

Rei Ao typed:

Rei Ao: "Alright, I'll come over. Let that Dryad know I'll handle it. Send me a direct Trade request. She can pay via 'body use rights' or something else."

"Body use rights" was Rei Ao's typical catchphrase in the group for a transaction's exchange. Everyone was used to it.

But Treyni, the Dryad, had no clue. Shizue told her about a "Chat Group," telling her that if she wanted Rei Ao's help, she must initiate a transaction.

Sure enough, Treyni cried tears of joy, wholeheartedly consenting.
