She saw it very clearly. If none of them had anything that caught Rei Ao's attention, he'd never have traded with them. It was the harsh reality. Yet none of them felt any wedge in their relationship because of that. Because Rei Ao personally tore down that barrier, on many levels.

Chapter 412: Is it Possible that Yukino is a Closet Pervert?
Mikoto Misaka: "Tch, that pervert again!"
Frieren: "Alright, alright, we should all be used to it by now. Anyone who wants to watch the stream can do so, but let's all chat about something else."
Stella: "Agreed."
Mikoto Misaka: "Huh? Wait a minute. Stella, aren't you the leader of the 'Anti-R18 Alliance'? This huge pervy livestreamwhy aren't you protesting it? As a member of the Anti-R18 Alliance, I need to object!"
Stella: "Uh"
Tohru: "Hahaha, I guess Stella must've been 'assimilated.'"
Stella: "Hey! That's too harsh"
Tohru: "Just say whether it's the truth or not!"
Stella: ""
Stella's face was red.
How to put it? Ever since having that experience, her entire mindset had changed. Seeing otherslike Rika Minami right nowshe couldn't help imagining herself in that role. She couldn't stifle the tingling sensations. Plus, in her own dorm, Shizuka Kurogane was openly fooling around with "cinema." Stella had no intention of holding back either.
Now you want her to oppose "pervy things"? Impossible!
That'd be like going against herself. She was too embarrassed to reply bluntly to Tohru's question, so she said something else:
Stella: "@Yukinoshita Yukino, @Shiba Miyuki, @Mabel, @Mikoto Misaka."
She tagged these four at onceprecisely those who joined in the Anti-R18 Alliance's founding.
Stella: "Ahem, I have an announcement. From today onward, I, Stella Vermillion, officially resign from the position of Alliance Leader of the Anti-R18 Alliance."
Stella: "The leader's position will be filled by someone among the four of you. Anyone want to volunteer?"
She was tossing away the hot potato. Stella planned to enjoy a youthful life filled with pleasure. She had discovered a new truth:
A youth without some "pervy fun" is not real youth!
A "non-pervy" relationship without Rei Ao's "big thing" is no "fun" at all!
Forget the Anti-R18 stanceshe was done with that.
Shiba Miyuki: "Uh, sorry, I I want to withdraw from the Anti-R18 Alliance too."
Mabel: "Huh? You guys can't just withdraw like that, it's so irresponsible!"
Rei Ao: "Oh? Mabel, you seem quite determined to oppose 'pervy stuff'? Want me to show you how fun it can be?"
Mabel: "Eek!!!"
Mabel: "Ugh, I I'm withdrawing too!"
Mikoto Misaka: "Hey, hey, that's a threat, right? A blatant threat!"
Yukinoshita Yukino: ""
Frieren: "Hahaha, how entertaining. Now it seems only two remain in the Anti-R18 Alliance. So, which of you will take over as leader?"
Akame: "Mikoto's got more potential."
Mikoto Misaka: "Huh?"
Sui: "Eh? Why do you say that? You think Yukino's not good enough?"
Kasuga Hijiri: "I think Yukino's the calmest among us all."
Yomogawa Ayame: "Indeed, I've never seen her express any intense emotion in the chat."
Hiiragi Shinoa: "Only two possibilities come to mind then."
Bibi Dong: "Which two?"
Hiiragi Shinoa: "First possibility: she's naturally indifferent, not emotionally affected by most things."
Frieren: "She does seem like that."
Miko Yotsuya: "What's the second one?"
Hiiragi Shinoa: "Second possibility is that she's a closet pervertacting prim on the outside but secretly never misses one of Rei Ao's steamy livestreams, watching them in full."
Shiba Miyuki: "Hmph, that's a rather pointed guess."
Izawa Shizue: "@Yukinoshita Yukino, Yukino, have you actually watched all of his streams?"
Click!
Yukino, lying in bed, blushed furiously, her knuckles making a cracking sound. She had no idea how to respond. Because yes, she really had watched every single stream.
Admitting that would mean confessing she was a hidden prude or closet pervert, but denying it would be a lie, which clashed with her principles. So Yukino kept silent, pretending not to see. As long as she didn't answer, she wouldn't be admitting anything nor lying.
Izawa Shizue: "Huh? Did Yukino go to sleep?"
Without a reply, she guessed as much.
Hiiragi Shinoa: "Err maybe so."
She blinked. Apparently she'd hit the mark? Quite an unexpected find indeed.
"Gulp!"
Miyamoto Rei finished her last bit of cleaning.
"Guess that's about it. I should get going now."
Rei Ao stood up slowly.
Miyamoto Rei regretfully asked, "So soon? Doesn't Shizuka-sensei and Alice's trade still have over thirty hours left?"
"Sigh, I have to return to school. I can't make my dear teacher's life too difficult, you know."
Yes, that teacher was none other than the thoroughly "broken" Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"Before I go, there's one more thing. Shizuka, Alice, Rikacome here."
"Ooh!"
The three came over with heads bare, leaning in. Rei Ao's finger touched each of their foreheads in turn, bestowing his blessing!
[Name]: Rika Minami
[Level]: 1
[Abilities]: "Dragon Power", "Time Interference", "Rei Ao's Blessing", "Inherent Device: Interference Rifle"
[Name]: Alice
[Level]: 1
[Abilities]: "Dragon Power", "Light Spirit", "Rei Ao's Blessing", "Inherent Device: Light Arrow"
[Name]: Shizuka Marikawa
[Level]: 1
[Abilities]: "Dragon Power", "Succubus", "Water Magic", "Rei Ao's Blessing", "Inherent Device: Song of the Sea"
After a bit more tender affection, Rei Ao let them rest. He set up wards around the villa perimeter and then stepped outside the room.
"Is she asleep?"
Fumino Furuhashi was lying quietly on the sofa, fast asleep, breathing steadily. Thankfully, it was now quite warm, so she hadn't caught a chill.
"Fumino, wake up. We need to leave."
He tried calling her. She was in a deep slumber and didn't stir. Suddenly she frowned, muttering something in a drowsy voice. Rei Ao happened to hear every word.
Instantly, his expression became odd.
"Mmph Rei Ao-kun that's not allowed please don't"
Was she dreaming that he was bullying her?
"Do I really look like such a villain?" Rei Ao wondered, doubting the impression he had made on her.
But on second thought, he realized it might be caused by his own livestream.
So, without further hesitation, he picked up the sleeping Fumino, choosing to head back.

Chapter 413: Iroha Again! (Bonus Chapter)
Back at Fumino's house:
Rei Ao gently placed Fumino Furuhashi onto her bed.
He pretended not to notice her obviously irregular breathing.
He removed her shoes, then took off her white socks.
A pair of feet as fair as jade was now exposed to the air.
For a moment, her small toes tensed like those of a startled rabbit.
Rei Ao paid it no mind.
He glanced briefly at her still odorless feet, then tucked them back into the covers. He pulled the blanket over her and went to her bedside, fiddling with something there before disappearing from the room.
Several minutes of silence passed.
Doing her best to keep her breathing steady, Fumino opened her eyes.
Confirming that Rei Ao was gone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had actually woken up earlier she'd just been feigning sleep while in Rei Ao's arms.
So she'd listened tensely to his every move, especially when he was undoing her shoes and socks. She could practically feel his gaze on her bare feet, and it made her blush to think that he had touched them.
Luckily, he hadn't done anything else to her.
After calming herself, she remembered that Rei Ao seemed to have left something near her bed.
Turning her head, she saw a small note stuck to her alarm clock. It read:
"I've set the alarm for your class time you can rest a bit longer."
"!!!"
Fumino's eyes widened.
"He knew I was pretending to sleep?"
Thinking it over, of course he'd notice her faking sleep it was impossible to fool him.
"Ugh!"
Feeling overwhelmed, she hid her face under the covers, shame flooding through every inch of her.
Meanwhile:
Half awake, Mafuyu Kirisu drowsily sat up.
"Where am I?"
Everything felt unfamiliar. This didn't seem like her house. As the fog of sleep began to clear, her memories gradually sharpened:
She was currently at Rei Ao's place.
More importantly, she remembered how she'd completely lost her composure during Rei Ao's massage, losing the dignity of a teacher in front of him though in fact, that dignity had already been shattered.
"What time is it now?"
She planned to open the curtains to see how light it was. But the moment she tried to move, she froze in place.
Peering down at her pantyhose area
""
Mafuyu Kirisu fell silent for a while. Her tights had a certainsticky problem. Because of Rei Ao's "massage"
Her heart pounded hard.
"Rei Ao he wouldn't noticewould he?"
"Notice what?"
"Kyah!!!"
The voice behind her startled Mafuyu enough to let out a shriek.
"W-why are you creeping around behind me like that?!"
Caught red-handed, Mafuyu tried covering her lower half with the blankets. Rei Ao only shook his head with a faint smile.
"Kirisu-sensei, no need to hide. You might as well hurry home and shower. Otherwise, you'll be late for class."
"???"
Mafuyu stared in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"Sigh Kirisu-sensei, do I need to spell it out?"
Rei Ao lifted his hand in a calm gesture.
"I'm quite confident in my massages. It's only normal for you to have certain after-effects. Rather than covering up, why not face it honestly? We both know exactly how things are."
"Ah!"
Mafuyu's mind went blank. Her sense of authority as a teacher had completely crumbled. She scrambled to flee. Watching her flustered figure vanish, Rei Ao couldn't help musing:
"She's had more intimate experiences with me than that, but she's shy about this? So adorable, Kirisu-sensei."
In truth, Mafuyu Kirisu felt not only shy but profoundly ashamed.
"How could I have done this?!"
Once she got home, she collapsed onto the floor, burying her face in her hands.
She could fool Rei Ao, but not herself.
Her physical "problem" wasn't solely caused by Rei Ao's massage.
If that had been the only reason, it would've cleared up overnight. Instead, the stickiness she felt that morning was caused by an unspeakable dream. The dream had been hazy, but she vaguely recalled Rei Ao and herself, the massage continuing down an immoral, off-limits path, which had left her in a messy state. A prime example of "daytime thoughts yield nighttime dreams."
She knew her thoughts had strayed which was unacceptable to Mafuyu Kirisu.
"Such thoughts about my student I'm unworthy to be a teacher!"
She felt lost.
While Mafuyu was in the throes of her own moral dilemma, Rei Ao was indifferent, unaffected such was his heart, or rather his liberal approach. He resumed his usual school routine.
Walking down the hallway, he once again "happened" across Isshiki Iroha.
"Ahem!"
In reality, Isshiki had coughed lightly to attract his attention first. Seeing Rei Ao's gaze on her, her eyes lit up. Following her "script," she gave an expression of "surprise."
"Rei Ao-senpai! What a coincidence!"
Coincidence indeed. She had clearly been waiting there for him, and he could see it. Though he didn't know what Iroha's goal was in approaching him, he didn't mind playing along for the moment.
"Isshiki-san, about yesterday's"
"I'm really sorry about yesterday! I was so flustered; I was running late and so"
Isshiki Iroha put on a pitiful, vulnerable look, a typical cutesy-kouhai act that seemed designed to evoke sympathy. Unfortunately for her, Rei Ao was all too aware of her real nature which only made her performance more amusing in his eyes.
"No need to apologize; it's hardly worth it for a small matter. Besides, you're quite petite, so there's no risk of hurting me."
He sounded gentle but deliberately referenced something mortifying for Isshiki:
"And by the way, Isshiki-san, we sort of ended up kissing by accident yesterday. I wonder if that might have been your first kiss?"
"If so, I'd feel really guilty," he said.
"Uh"
Iroha was at a loss, mouth slightly agape, temporarily unsure how to respond.

Chapter 414: Confused Iroha!
That unexpected incident was undeniably her first kiss.
Not only did her first kiss go to Rei Ao's lips, but it also briefly touchedRei Ao's
It was so embarrassing.
Yet now, Rei Ao was bringing up that incident and asking a pointed question.
Though pointed, Isshiki Iroha didn't know how to respond.
If she lied and said it wasn't her first kiss, wouldn't that lower Rei Ao's impression of her?
But if she confessed it was her first kiss, that would imply how much she treasured it.
Wait
That might actually be good.
After all, she was trying to get closer to Rei Ao right now. Acting like she cared might help.
Maybe she could get his attention. Of course, it meant testing her limits of embarrassment.
She took a soft breath.
Lowering her head, Isshiki Iroha answered quietly, "Y-yes, it was my first kiss."
"If it was also Senpai's first kiss, that'd make us even, right?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid we can't be even."
"Eh?"
Iroha blinked.
"Because it wasn't my first kiss."
Rei Ao spread his hands, being frank.
"I-it wasn't?"
She hadn't expected that, and for some reason she felt an odd disappointment.
"Personally, I don't mind at all," Rei Ao went on. "But if Isshiki-san has feelings about it, you can let me know. I can't offer 'compensation,' but some form of 'comfort' is not out of the question."
He made it clear.
After all, it hadn't been his doingshe'd been the one rushing into him. If anyone had to make amends, it should be her. If the genders were reversed, one might even call it harassment. The fact that he was offering to "comfort" her was him being generous.
"Haha, it's fineafter all, it was my fault. I don't blame you, Senpai."
