Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 202 - : Reported to the Student Council (Bonus - )

"This isn't something I brought along."

Rei Ao raised an eyebrow as he held the little undergarment in his hand. He recognized the familiar aura mingled with the faintly "fallen" scent on it.

"It seems to belong to Gabriel. She probably used a teleportation spell."

"Huh?"

Mai trusted him, but this explanation just left her more confused.

Why would Gabriel teleport her underwear onto Rei Ao's face?

Feeling the warmth of the cloth, Rei Ao's eyes flashed. He imagined the likeliest scenario.

"I think Gabriel was running late, tried using teleportation to get to school, but the spell misfired and this happened."

"What?"

Mai was astonished.

"An angel can mess up casting a spell? That's an angel!"

Rei Ao: "She's fallen."

One phrase shut down further argument.

"..."

Mai couldn't find any rebuttal. Right. Gabriel was an angel who had sunk into gaming addiction and moral decline. From that viewpoint, a spell failure didn't seem impossible anymore.

"So these undergarments..."

Mai began, only to see Rei Ao casually stuff them into his pocket.

"I'll give them back to her later. Let's head to class."

"..."

Mai's lips twitched. She already knew Rei Ao was not someone to be messed with, and now she didn't have the nerve to interfere in others' business. Especially since she had "Rei Ao" scribbled on her own chest, stomach, and thighs. Rather than worry about others, she had to ensure nobody noticed her own predicament—otherwise, it'd be social suicide.

Catching Rei Ao's puzzled look, she shot him a fierce glare and turned to walk toward her classroom.

"Is she jealous?"

Rei Ao, who didn't know what was really going on, could only assume so.

In truth, Mai thought Rei Ao was indulging in one of his weird kinks and decided to tolerate it without mentioning anything. She planned to have him erase all those odd doodles when they got home that evening.

...

Having just stepped back into the classroom, Rei Ao was met by Kato Megumi, who came over wearing a helpless expression.

"Rei Ao-kun, there's something important I need to tell you."

"Something important?"

"Yes, we...seem to have been reported—or rather, falsely accused."

"Huh?"

Rei Ao was puzzled. Even Hyodo Michiru, who had been watching Rei Ao closely since before he arrived, looked perplexed.

During the mid-morning break, a group of students—people who practically never visited the student council—were gathered in the student council room:

Rei Ao, Kato Megumi, Eriri Sawamura, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Hyodo Michiru. Four "side heroine" girls plus the male lead, Rei Ao. Of course, the two in charge of the student council, Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika, were also present.

They had called him, along with the other three girls (excluding Hyodo Michiru), for a reason. After exchanging some simple greetings and niceties, they took out a letter.

"I assume you already know why we asked you to come."

"Uh, did someone report us for...shameless fooling around?"

Utaha folded her arms, her eyes narrowing in displeasure.

"Can you tell me who did this? I'm not the sort who lets an insult to my reputation slide."

They had been brought here to investigate a so-called complaint letter. It accused the four of them of being entangled in unspeakable relationships, which, if true, would seriously violate school rules. That was why Kaguya needed to investigate.

"I'd like to know, too. Who would do something so disgusting?"

Eriri clenched her fists, exposing a little fang in frustration. Sure, she aimed to captivate Rei Ao, but that didn't mean she had actually succeeded. Such a report was clearly a malicious attempt to ruin their reputations. If the student council had openly announced it and called them in, rumors would run wild even if they were proven innocent. Fortunately, Shinomiya Kaguya believed the letter's authenticity was questionable, so she quietly informed them in private.

"The person who reported this...is my cousin, Aki Tomoya."

The one who spoke was Hyodo Michiru. Her expression looked grim.

"Huh?"

Eriri squeaked, her face turning pale.

"H-Him? But...that's impossible?"

She wasn't the only one. Even Kasumigaoka looked visibly unsettled, because that boy was known across the entire school as...well, a deceased student.

"Ahem."

Seeing both girls so shaken, Fujiwara Chika hastened to clarify:

"It's not a recent complaint. The letter was submitted before Aki Tomoya passed away—it just fell behind a desk and got lost. We only found it a couple of days ago during cleanup."

"I see."

With that explanation, the tense mood eased. Eriri had just feared some ghostly accusation from beyond the grave. Her pale face recovered somewhat, though she still looked upset hearing that name.

Megumi spoke in her usual calm tone:

"So, how do you plan to investigate this?"

"That's..."

Kaguya and Fujiwara exchanged glances, both in a bind. Unless there were surveillance footage or photographic evidence, such claims were difficult to prove. Also, they couldn't launch a formal probe just from an unsigned, ambiguous complaint.

While they hesitated, Rei Ao took the initiative:

"This isn't difficult to settle."

"Hmm?" The others turned to him.

Before their eyes, Rei Ao reached out and took Megumi's hand:

"Among everyone present, only Megumi is my girlfriend. I'm not involved with the others."

"Eh?"

Hyodo Michiru let out a startled cry.

"Rei Ao-kun and Kato-san...a couple?"

She hadn't known. Seeing their fingers interlocked, she felt a small sting of disappointment, recalling the way Rei Ao "lectured" her over the weekend. Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up—she smelled juicy gossip. Kasumigaoka and Eiri both wore complicated expressions. Shinomiya Kaguya's cool eyes flickered slightly. She noticed an intense focus in Kato Megumi's gaze toward Rei Ao, something Kaguya had never seen before. It was as though Megumi saw no one but him. Still, Kaguya knew her role and suppressed her curiosity.

She frowned: "Then how do you explain your relationship with Miss Sawamura and Miss Kasumigaoka?"

"No need to explain," Rei Ao scoffed.

"There's nothing there, so what would I even explain? All I can tell you is, I had some conflict with that Aki Tomoya guy. He harassed Megumi; I beat him up. He also bothered Eriri, so I beat him up again."

Megumi nodded:

"Yes, Aki Tomoya tried forcing me into some strange club, and Rei Ao-kun put a stop to it."

"He also turned on me after I cut ties with him," Eriri added, "even pushed me down the stairs in a rage, and Rei Ao saved me."

Eiri looked a bit down. Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka said seriously:

"He also invited me to join his club, which I refused."

"I see..."

In this situation, all their statements matched up, each from their own perspective. Fujiwara Chika brought her hands together. She'd whipped out a detective cap and glasses from who knew where.

"Hehe, Detective Chika has arrived!"

After a silly cheer, she tried to analyze things in earnest:

"I've already figured out the answer! According to multiple consistent testimonies, assuming they haven't colluded, all the evidence points in one direction!" She pointed at thin air.

"There is only one truth! Which is—"

"Which is that it's very likely this Aki Tomoya, who had conflicts with you all, tried framing and slandering you."

"???"

Fujiwara Chika was dumbfounded because the one delivering the final deduction wasn't her, but the ever-stoic Shinomiya Kaguya.

"K-Kaguya-chan..."

She looked at Kaguya with big, wounded eyes. Kaguya simply shot her a frosty look and said coolly:

"It's straightforward. No point dragging it out."

"Uuuh, but I wanted to be the one who declared the truth!"

Feeling as if her detective game was spoiled, Fujiwara Chika was on the verge of tears. She'd been building up to that moment, and now it felt wasted.

"Well, go ahead and say it," Kaguya offered calmly.

"..."

Fujiwara Chika puffed up her cheeks.

What could she say? Kaguya had already stated the conclusion.

"So he actually did such a thing..."

Hyodo Michiru became more convinced by Rei Ao's group's account. She'd heard that after leaving the hospital, Aki Tomoya's mental state grew obsessive. In that condition, it wasn't unthinkable he'd do something like this. She felt disappointed. Aside from pity, she had no feelings left for that cousin of hers.

Rei Ao spread his hands:

"I don't know exactly what was going on with him. But as Miss Fujiwara Chika pointed out, if we rule out collusion, then we're each telling our own truths."

He also hadn't lied. Out of everyone here, apart from Megumi, he really wasn't close to any of them. Did he indulge in messy "relationships"? Sure. But not with these particular people. Possibly with others—even in other worlds. But those details had nothing to do with the matter at hand.
