Arms folded, Rei Ao mused:
"You swapping bodies with your daughter is some supernatural phenomenon. I'll come over after school to see what's going on."
"Oh, oh, I see."
Given everything she'd seenmagic, demons, the fiasco with Rei AoYui's mother had already realized the world was bigger and stranger than she thought. She nodded meekly. But then she noticed how she'd reflexively shown such obedient behavior in front of a teenage boy:
"Ugh"
Her face reddened further.
"Mrs. Yuigahama-san, about what happened just now" Rei Ao began, presumably referencing their kiss.
She cut him off frantically:
"Thatthat was just an accident!"
She was far too embarrassed to face Rei Aoor Yuiright now.
"W-we'll meet again after school!"
She had no face to remain. She fled in a hurry.
As Rei Ao watched Yui's real body vanish around the corner, his mind pictured the shapely mother's flustered expression. Casting a glance downward, he sighed:
"Am I really developing a taste for older women?"
He chuckled wryly at how he'd spontaneously gotten aroused, thinking it was Yui's mother:
"I guess I kinda do want to see the real Mrs. Yuigahama now."

Chapter 207: A Huge Playboy...
After returning to the Service Club, Rei Ao didn't even get a chance to speak before Kawasaki Saki shyly bowed to him.
"I'm sorry, Rei Ao-kun, but I take back my request for superpowers!!!"
Yukinoshita's expression remained calm.
Yumiko folded her arms, gazing at Kawasaki with schadenfreude in her eyes.
It was clear that Yumiko had likely thrown in a few sensational details about the "trade." In truth, even without embellishment, few people would agree to it. Kawasaki might be short on money, but she hadn't stooped to anything illicitdefinitely wouldn't sell her body just for some nebulous superpower. The moment she found out about the required "body transaction," she gave it up right away. After all, even without superpowers, she still had her tae kwon do for self-defense.
"Hmm, it's your decision."
Rei Ao didn't mind. A trade was voluntary. Nobody would be forced into it.
"Ahem."
Kawasaki Saki looked nervously at Rei Ao, thinking about how she'd just discovered the chaotic side of her "savior."
"UmI still have stuff to do, so I'll be leaving now!"
She promptly fled.
"Heh, Rei Ao-kun, looks like you couldn't get her after all,"
Yumiko said smugly. Rei Ao just shook his head with a wry grin.
"I never said I had to get anyone in particular. But at least I've already got you, right?"
With that, he stepped forward and pulled Yumiko into his arms, apparently intending to kiss her right then and there.
"Ah!"
Blushing, Yumiko pressed against his chest.
"Don'tthere are still people here!"
She didn't mind kissing her boyfriend, but not with Yukinoshita right there watching.
Yukinoshita frowned slightly and said in a cool voice:
"I have to remind you two that the Service Club is not the place for public displays of affection."
""
It was her domain, after all. Rei Ao decided not to push his luck here.
"All right, if there's nothing else, we'll head off now."
Making an "OK" sign at Yukinoshita, he left with Yumiko, who instantly morphed from a prideful queen to a blushing girlfriend.
""
A while passed.
"Sigh."
Yukinoshita exhaled heavily. Rei Ao had changed so many people. She never thought she'd see Yumiko looking all demure like that.
At Rei Ao's house
Futaba Rio, who hadn't slept well all night, woke up near midday. Opening her eyes, she took in the unfamiliar bed and ceiling, and remembered that this was Rei Ao's place.
She also recalled how she'd tossed and turned until late, her mind replaying the events from last night. Surely they're done by now? she thought.
She got up, put on her glasses, and stood. Once dressed, she emerged from the bedroom.
Across the hallway, another room was openbut empty. No trace of any chaotic scene. She breathed a sigh of relief. She'd been afraid of seeing something she couldn't unsee.
Going into the living room, she found Tohru, Sora, and Ilia.
"You're up."
Tohru glanced her way.
"Rei Ao said you wanted to go buy some clothes. Need me to come along?"
""
After a moment's silence, Futaba Rio shook her head.
"I'll do it myself."
"Oh."
Tohru didn't question her further. She didn't really care about anyone but Rei Ao. Futaba Rio headed to the bathroom. Once she'd left, Ilia asked Tohru, curious:
"Tohru-nee, is she also Master's woman?"
Sora, nibbling a banana, said while chewing,
"Definitely not. Otherwise she'd have joined us last night to serve Master."
Tohru nodded:
"Yeah, not yet, anyway."
But she still pouted jealously:
"Honestly, I alone should be enough. I'm a dragon through and throughonly I can truly satisfy Rei Ao, right?"
"Huh?"
Sora wasn't having that:
"I happen to be Master's grimoire! How could Master do without me?!"
Ilia smiled sweetly:
"I'll always serve Master, too."
"Tch."
Tohru gave a derisive snort.
"You two wimps can barely keep up. Rei Ao can wipe you out in a single go. You're just not on his level."
"Ugh."
Both Sora and Ilia clammed up. It was true they didn't have much "staying power." Tohru's big advantage was her substantial "dragon physique." They couldn't compare.
All this talk was overheard by Futaba Rio in the bathroom, who listened, stunned. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she wondered, Does that mean Rei Ao intends to go after me, too?
After school
"Mai, go on home. I have to drop by Yui's place."
"Huh?"
Mai eyed him suspiciously.
"Let me guessyou're going to spend another night away, hooking up with Yui this time?"
Rei Ao rolled his eyes.
"Mai, you make me sound like I'm some sort ofuh, well, maybe let's not get into that. But come on, do you really see me that way?"
"Yes: A wild beast of endless lust, always after another girl. That sums it up."
She fired that off without hesitation.
"Pft."
Rei Ao smiled wryly and didn't bother denying it.
"I'll take that as a compliment. Considering my desire's strong and my stamina's high, you sure seemed to enjoy it plenty, right, Mai?"
"Argh, who's enjoying it, you idiot?!"
Mai blushed bright red. Even if she did enjoy it, he didn't have to say it so bluntly. She glowered at him with flustered eyes.
"Fine, whatever. Hope you don't come home all night. I refuse to believe you can snag a new girl every day! Hmph!"
She snapped her head away, leaving him with only her retreating back.
Meanwhile, the figure who approached Rei Ao was "Yuigahama Yui," who was actually Yui's mother. She didn't catch their conversation but saw how intimate they looked.
Staring at Mai's back, Yui's mother asked:
"Rei Ao-kun, who was that?"
"Oh, one of my girlfriendsSakurajima Mai," Rei Ao answered casually.
That left Yui's mother anything but calm:
"Huh?!"
She pressed a hand over her mouth in shock.
Girlfriendone of them?
Suddenly, everything she'd been hearing lined up. Rei Ao might indeed be the type to juggle multiple relationships. So he was a huge playboy?!

Chapter 208: Yuigahama's Residence, Let's eat!
When Rei Ao noticed Yui's mother's (in Yui's body) intense reaction upon learning he was juggling multiple girlfriends, he didn't pay it much mind and got back to the main topic.
"Yuigahama-san, how do you plan on getting hometaxi or walking?"
"I'll walk."
Carrying complex emotions, Yui's mother and Rei Ao set off toward her house. At first, neither spoke, and Yui's mother's eyes stayed trained on the road ahead. Finally, after walking a while, she couldn't hold back:
"Rei Ao-kun, please answer me honestly: What do you think of Yui?"
"Yui? She's cute, full of energy. I like her a lot."
He saw no need to hesitate in stating that.
""
Yui's mother wasn't surprised. She already viewed him as a "philanderer" asking him this question. She didn't want to meddle in her daughter's own feelings, but the reality was more complicated than a simple boygirl romance, and she had to step in. She halted, fixing Rei Ao with a serious look:
"If you truly like Yui, I want you to stay away from other girls and focus on her alone. Otherwiseplease don't toy with Yui's feelings or deceive her. I'm Yui's mother, and I'll do whatever I must to keep you from hurting her!"
She had Yui's face, but the stern, protective aura she radiated now was something Yui herself would rarely show. Indeed, she was entirely serious about protecting her daughter.
But:
"I respect your love for Yui, Mrs. Yuigahama," Rei Ao replied calmly, not at all fazed by her harsh words.
"However, there's something you've got wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"It was Yui who confessed to me first, but I never agreed," Rei Ao said, spreading his hands.
"Huh?"
Yui's mother blinked in confusion. She recalled Yumiko mentioning Yui's indecision and Rei Ao's "accepting a confession." Socould that have been wrong? She wondered if she'd misunderstood Rei Ao. Just as she was about to assume she'd blamed him unfairly, Rei Ao added:
"But, about me liking Yuithat part you got right."
"Eh?"
She was even more confused now. He liked Yui, yet he rejected her confession. How odd was that?
Yui's mother felt totally baffled. She could only ask him directly:
"Why?"
"Because when Yui developed feelings for me, she hadn't yet seen all sides of me." Rei Ao's tone was light.
"I do like Yui, but I want her to see me fullyand still like me. So, I told her everything, including myspecial situation and the fact that I have other people I like."
He briefly explained what had happened, and Yui's mother understood:
"So Yui knew it all along"
That meant Yui knew Rei Ao was a "player" yet couldn't stop thinking about him anyway. No wonder Yumiko insisted she make a firm decision instead of hesitating. Accept it wholeheartedly or else just walk away. It appeared Rei Ao truly was a multi-timing "scumbag," but he was alsoextremely peculiar.
Yui's mother asked with a conflicted look,
"Those other girlfriends you mentionedare they the same?"
"Absolutely," he said, confidently.
"I respect each one's choice."
""
Somehow, his words left Yui's mother with no room to doubt. She found herself strangely inclined to trust himeven though he was clearly much younger and had multiple partners, she couldn't put on any "adult authority" in front of him.
"Sigh"
She took a deep breath and finally apologized:
"I'm sorry, Rei Ao-kun. I passed judgment on you without knowing the full story."
"It's fine. I know you're just worried about Yui."
"Thank you."
She looked grateful.
"So, I'll leave it to you all to sort things out. I won't intrude for no reason."
She decided to step back and let her daughter handle her own relationship. Besides, Rei Ao truly was special, not only for his supernatural abilities but also for his candid way of respecting Yui's choices. She had no grounds to object.
Of course, one more thing kept bugging her: his extremely skillful kissing! Even shea complete novicehad nearly been swept away by that deep kiss. She shuddered to think how it would affect Yui. And it made her face burn with shame.
"Mrs. Yuigahama? Aren't we going?"
"!!!"
"Yesof course!"
Yui's mother snapped out of it and quickly hurried ahead of Rei Ao, not wanting him to see her face so red. She felt so embarrassed about her wandering thoughts. I'm so shameless!
After that frank conversation, the awkward atmosphere subsided somewhat, though Yui's mother remained quiet, still flustered over Rei Ao for reasons she couldn't speak about. Eventually, they arrived at Yui's house.
Upon stepping into the living room, Rei Ao saw a woman with an absolutely perfect figure, wearing a plush sweater, lazing on the couch. Despite her more mature bearing, she looked so much like Yuithe same hair color. She was, in fact, Yui's mother, Yuigahama Ai, but right now, Yui's consciousness inhabited her body.
"Mom! Rei Ao! You're back!"
Seeing them, "Yui" (actually the mother's body) sprang upright with great enthusiasm. The large motion caused herwell-endowed figure to bounce noticeably.
(Bleam: [Name]: Yui's mother (temp name "Yuigahama Kyou/Ai"?)
This is the previous chapter from 206, I choose Kyou but author chooses Ai ha ha)
"!!!"
Yui's mother (in Yui's body) felt her scalp prickle.
Seeing her own body from another's perspective for the first time made her realize that even a simple move like standing could lookwell, unbelievably suggestive. She recalled Rei Ao was next to her, and indeed, he was looking! She felt instantly flustered.
Rei Ao, however, remained composedjust calmly admiring the view. The real Yui (in her mother's body) was oblivious to how it seemed, rummaging happily with some bags.
"Mom, I bought a bunch of fresh groceries. Let's have Rei Ao-kun eat dinner with us tonight, okay?"

Chapter 209: Puberty Syndrome, Marker, Strangeness? Wtf is happening? (Bonus Chapter)
Even using Yui's body, Yui's mother still cooked with practiced skill.
To avoid the awkward sensation of seeing her "own" body from a third-person viewpoint, she had gone straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Meanwhile, Rei Ao observed Yui's condition. It turned out she had developed Puberty Syndrome!
[Name]: Yuigahama Yui
[Level]: 0
[Ability]: "Puberty Syndrome " Targeted Exchange (Incomplete)"
"Puberty Syndrome " Targeted Exchange" able to swap bodies and souls with one specific target. Current designated target: Yuigahama Yui herself.
Note: Because the ability is incomplete, the longer they remain swapped, the higher the chance of it becoming permanent.
This was undoubtedly the root cause behind Yui and her mother's predicament. But why did Yui end up with Puberty Syndrome?
"Ugh"
Having Rei Ao stare at her put Yui (in her mother's body) on edge. She felt uneasy because, although it was really her, the body Rei Ao was looking at was actually her mother'sa bizarre feeling that made her squirm as if ants were crawling all over.
