"Whaaa!!!"
Hana showed not a hint of fear, only lighting up with excitement. Her eyes glistened like stars.
"That's so romantic!"
She saw it as a wonderfully romantic scenario.
But Rei Ao offered a dose of reality.
"Helping Miko is also tied to a deal. She has to pay a price for it. Which is why I brought her here."
"Huh? What price?"
Hana blinked her big, bright eyes. Apparently, Miko had said nothing to her about it. Rei Ao's lips curved slightly as he leaned in and whispered a few words in her ear.
Instantly, Hana's face turned red so fast it could be seen with the naked eye.
"Itit's that?!"
She wasn't sure whether she felt shocked or embarrassed. Which meant Miko was giving herself over for both her own safety and Hana's too.
"Mikoisn't really doing it of her own accord?"
"No," Rei Ao answered, shaking his head. "As you saw, it was more like we took action first and formalized it afterward. And it turns out, in that regard, we suit each other pretty well."
Indeed, not that it started out that way, but under his destructive blow, there was no doubt it would end up fitting. Eventually she'd become the shape he required.
"No wonder Miko kept hurrying me to leave," Hana mused, as though she finally understood. Rei Ao went on casually, "That's why what's going to happen next isn't really something you should be here for, Hana. How about I take you home?"
"No!"
Hana refused outright, her eyes filled with resolve.
"This isn't just Miko's business. Rei Ao-nii saved me too, so it's my business as well!"
"Oh?"
Rei Ao gave her a slightly doubtful look. "And what exactly can you do?"
"II"
Hana wracked her brain, realizing that aside from her talent for eating (and having a big appetite), she wasn't sure what else she could contribute. But then the sound of running water from the bathroom gradually stopped, and her eyes brightened.
"That's it! I can do the same thing Miko does with Rei Ao-nii!"

Chapter 355: Amazing Friend, Mother and Daughter lies...
Before Long
"What are you two talking about?"
Stepping out of the bathroom in a towel, Miko glanced curiously at the other two. She had the feeling there was something off about the atmosphere between them.
"Hana, aren't you going home?"
Miko had decided it would be best to urge Hana to leave quickly; otherwise, she wouldn't be able toumrepay Rei Ao properly.
"Oh, oh! I'll take a quick shower, then I'm heading out!"
She gave Miko no chance to speak further, dashing into the bathroom and swiftly shutting the door.
"???"
Miko stood there, bewildered. Can't she just bathe at home?
Rei Ao, wearing a faint smile, explained, "Hana said she was so scared earlier that she broke into a cold sweat, and she won't feel comfortable unless she washes up."
"Oh, oh."
Miko accepted the explanation without question.
After all, she really had been terrified herself.
Setting aside a cold sweat, she had nearlywell, better not say. Fortunately, she'd held it in, or she would have embarrassed herself not just in front of Rei Ao, but in front of Hana as well.
"All right, then once Hana goes home"
She intended to wait for Hana to leave so she could properly receive Rei Ao's "baptism." But before she finished, Rei Ao pulled her onto the bed, silencing her with a kiss.
"!!!"
And, beneath her shocked gaze, it began
—
Half an hour later
Miko's body and mind were both in wild disarray. Rei Ao had positioned her facing the bathroom, and she was staring fixedly at the bathroom door, ears straining for the sound of running water. Even though she was already a mess, she still tried to warn him:
"ReRei Ao-nii, Hana's almost done there. Shouldn't we stop?"
" "
It was as if Rei Ao didn't hear, continuing his "output."
Miko panicked. She was bouncing up and down in his grasp like a doll, with no ability to resist. Thankfully, the water was still runningthere was a bit more time. Determined, Miko gritted her teeth, planning to let herself go once before speaking again.
Butalthough the water was still running, the bathroom door opened.
Just as she'd geared up to release, Miko locked eyes with Hana, who had come to a halt, staring. She felt as if she'd been struck by lightning.
"HHana"
Her lips felt parched, and she wanted to explain.
"Eek!!!"
Yet her body betrayed her, rushing straight into that overwhelming but mortifying peak right at that moment
Hana stared blankly at the wet evidence flying toward her. By her estimate, the distance from the bed had to be at least four or five meters. That didn't match anything they'd learned in biology class. How on earth did Miko pull that off? Did she have a hidden water gun?
Meanwhile, Mikowho had inadvertently performed quite a showrealized her social life was finished. She was practically paralyzed, managing only to mumble, "Hanadon't look. Hurry and go"
"Go? Heh."
Rei Ao sat up, calmly lifting Miko away and setting her to one side. Then he crooked a finger at Hana.
Hana obediently approached.
"Hana, you've been curious about my so-called big chungus since the beginning. Go ahead and take a good look."
"Mm-hmm."
Hana really did reach out, experimentally.
"???"
Miko was dumbstruck.
"Whatwhat's going on?"
Still lightly rubbing Miko's small foot, Rei Ao explained with a smile, "I mentioned our situation to Hana earlier. She decided to share some of the burden for you, so here we are."
He couldn't help remarking, "Miko, you really do have a wonderful friend."
"Ugh!"
" "
Miko watched as her best friend started sampling something "tasty," part of which Miko herself had just produced. She found herself lost for words. Indeed, her instincts had been right: something must have happened while Hana was showering.
"WahMiko, oh oh kah uh fuh!"
Hana was talking, but with her cheeks so stuffed, her words came out garbled. Miko's eyelids twitched in exasperation. Come on, at a time like this, don't speak at all!
"Miko, do you still have the strength?"
" "
Miko paused, took a deep breath, and only had one thought left:
Well, that's it, Hana. Let's stay best friendsno, best sistersfor life!
"Rei Ao-nii, I can still go!"
"Hmm?"
Yui awoke, sitting up in a haze. Glancing around in confusion, she recognized the furniture and dcor.
"This ismy room?"
She clearly recalled doing a lot with Rei Ao at the hotel. Yet her body wasn't sore at all, as if nothing had happened. Wait
She realized the weight on her chest felt different. Testing it with her handthere was an unmistakably familiar sense of heft.
"Yui, are you awake?"
A familiar voice rang outher own voice. Looking up, she sawherself standing in the doorway!
She was calling Yui's name, yet it was obviously Yui who was in the bed?
"This has to be a dream," Yui mumbled. Two of herself couldn't exist. She gave her cheek a pinch.
"Ow!"
It hurt enough to make her bare her teeth.
"It hurts! Sonot a dream?"
While Yui was still in a fog, "Yui" by the door approached with a sigh. "Yui, it's meMom."
"Mom?"
"Mm, looks like our bodies are swapped again."
"Eh?!?"
"Sighthis morning, Rei Ao-kun brought you home while you were asleep, and after he left, it wasn't long before our bodies swapped again,"
Mrs. Yuigahama said calmly, utilizing the lie she had spent considerable effort devising. Stated this way, hopefully Yui wouldn't assume anything too strange.
Indeed, Yui had nearly worried whether they'd swapped halfway throughthat. That would have been far too horrifying. Fortunately, it wasn't so. She breathed a sigh of relief, but soon she was facing her mother's "serious" questioning.
"Yui, didn't you say you were going to Yumiko's place? So why did Rei Ao-kun bring you home? Plus, your body seems absolutely worn out. You two didn't go and do anything crazy, did you?"
"Uh"
A cold sweat broke over Yui. She was scared her mother might discover something. Trying to think fast, she hurriedly made something up.
"Um, w-we went to a karaoke place yesterday, singing and dancing until we were exhausted, hahaha."
She reached up to scratch the back of her head in embarrassment.
" "
Mrs. Yuigahama, watching her daughter lie to her while she herself was lying to her daughter, felt the most complex swirl of emotions imaginable.

Chapter 356: How was it? (Bonus Chapter)
Yui lying to her mother.
Her mother lying to Yui.
All to hide everything that Mrs. Yuigahama had experienced the previous night. Mrs. Yuigahama chose to accept this lie.
"Alright, I understand."
Frowning slightly, she massaged her shoulder. In truth, more than her shoulder, she wanted to rub the "forest" that Rei Ao had ravagednumb and swollen, still lingering even after a bath.
Putting on a stern face, Mrs. Yuigahama scolded, "From now on, don't get carried away with your play. Look how exhausted your body is. It's rough on your mother."
That remark wasn't just a direct response to Yui's lie. It also carried Mrs. Yuigahama's genuine complaints. If not for Yui's subconscious adolescent-syndrome flare-up causing their soul-swap, how could she have ended up experiencing such an immoral affair? How could she havefound herself looking back so much on those type matters?
"Sigh"
A deep sigh.
All of this was just a tangled fate.
"S-sorry! I won't dare do it again next time!"
Yui could only bow her head repeatedly, apologizing. At the same time, the thought that her own mother was having to endure the worn-out body left behind after Rei Ao took her made Yui blush crimson.
Not just YuiMrs. Yuigahama herself felt her entire body heat up, unconsciously pressing her legs together.
She wanted to flee from her daughter's sight as quickly as possible. So she said, "I'll go rest now and let your body recover. For lunch, make whatever you want, or you can order takeout."
"Okay!"
They tacitly agreed not to say anything further. After Mrs. Yuigahama left, Yui finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Phew Good thing Mom didn't notice anything strange."
Right afterward, she recalled Rei Ao and noticed that he was in the midst of a trade with Yotsuya Miko. The chat group was busy talking as well.
Frieren: "No livestream again this time?"
Saeko Busujima: "I think it's more important to make sure Miko is safe."
Tohru: "Don't worry. With Rei Ao there, she won't be losing any limbs."
Stella: "Your phrasing makes it sound even scarier"
Stella: "@Rei Ao, this is your second trade in a row; aren't you going to tell the group about it?"
Rei Ao: "Honestly, there's not much to share. The monster on Miko's side was like a silver-spear candleshatters at a single touch."
Rei Ao: "As for streaming, I'm 'juggling two torches' right now. You want to see?"
Stella: "???
Ugh, who wants to watch that!"
Stella was grinding her teeth, feeling uncomfortable seeing Rei Ao enjoy things she herself couldn't really understandand she was already in a poor mood these past two days.
First, her period had just started, and then there was a new teacher at school who liked to stir up trouble.
Sui: "Two people? Isn't Miko by herself?"
Rei Ao: "There's also Miko's close friend, Yurikawa Hana'Hana-chan.' She's a very cute girl."
"Mm!"
Seeing herself praised, Hanawho was sitting on himbeamed like she was savoring honey. Meanwhile, Miko, who was pinned beneath him, grumbled jealously, "Rei Ao-nii, between Hana and me, who's cuter?"
"Hah, i-it's definitely me, hehe."
Hana refused to back down, pointing downward.
"Rei Ao-nii's big chungus is right here with me~"
"???"
Hearing this, Miko looked confused. The Hana she knew had turned into some bizarre, even somewhat predatory version of herselfextremely worrying.
Rei Ao himself didn't need to do the workhe only had to enjoywhereas Miko and Hana had to do all the thinking. But he was excellent at "balancing things."
"You're both cute," he said.
"Hana's the clueless, nave type of cute. Miko's the kind that makes you want to tease her."
It wasn't even much of a compliment, but in their hazy stateoverwhelmed by the "big chungus"both of them only heard the word "cute." Their eyes turned pink and heart-shaped, and they redoubled their efforts.
Mai Sakurajima: "Wow, impressive. You went to help Miko and ended up taking her friend, too."
Misaka Mikoto: "The ultimate lecher!"
Shiba Miyuki: "I think maybe Rei Ao-kun was actually the one seduced."
Stella: "???"
Akame: "It's possible."
Misaka Mikoto: "???"
Stella: "Did he drug all of you or something?"
Frieren: "How excessive. Rei Ao, what do you think?"
Rei Ao: "I'm going at it full-force here. Miko, maybe you can tell them who made the first move, me or Hana?"
Yotsuya Miko: "Uuh! I-it was Hana who seduced Rei Ao-nii!"
Megumi Kato: "Just as expected"
Haruhime: "So it's true after all!"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "Excessive"
Yukino massaged her temples. The longer she stayed in the chat group, the more she felt her worldview twisting. Back in the day, just hearing talk like this would make her not even want to look. Now, though, she could keep a straight face while taking it all in, and even found itstrangely intriguing.
"Yui."
She thought of Yui, who had also completed a transaction and was practically "serving" her every day as her sweet "Yui-chan." Since Yui's trade was donethat meant
She wasn't the only one realizing this. Another person thought of it as well.
That was Yumiko.
She sent Yui a private message.
Miura Yumiko: "Yui, can you see this?"
Yuigahama Yui: "Mm."
" "
They fell into silence for quite a while. Neither made the next move. Eventually, Yumiko spoke first.
Miura Yumiko: "Rei Ao saved you."
Yuigahama Yui: "Mm."
Miura Yumiko: "Did you sleep with him?"
Yuigahama Yui: ""
Miura Yumiko: "All right, that was a dumb question, since you two finished the trade."
Miura Yumiko: "How was it?"
"?"
Reading that, Yui went stiff. Even though her body was now her mother's, she still felt that heat surge all over, flooding her with embarrassment.
"How am I supposed to answer that?!"
In fact, Yumiko was covering her face in shame even as she asked. But she had to do it. She knew that one day, she and Yui would become "sisters," so they had to break through this embarrassment and be open with each other. Hence she was forced to ask a question that broke all sense of shame.
