Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist

Raphiel's cooking was indeed exceptional.

Even Mai, typically reserved, sincerely asked Raphiel for some tips during the meal.

The group chatted casually while eating, though Gabriel was notably absent.

After all, Vignette had laid down the law with her:

"No cleaning, no eating!"

With no choice, Gabriel was left sulking while cleaning her room.

Meanwhile, the gathering continued with Rei Ao, Mai, and the others, unaffected by Gabriel's absence.

Chat Group Updates:

Yukino Yukinoshita: "There was a loud explosion and the whole building shook earlier, but when I went outside, nothing seemed out of place. @Rei Ao, do you know what happened?"

Mabel: "Yes! It startled me so much I almost threw up the food I ate!"

Yukino glanced at Mabel sprawled out on the couch, utterly motionless.

She was still reeling from witnessing Mabel devour what was supposed to be three days' worth of groceries in one sitting.

Now, she couldn't move.

At last, Yukino began to grasp what the group meant by "useless shut-in."

Rei Ao: "Nothing major. Basically, a little demon saw a cockroach crawl out of an angel's room and freaked out, causing a bit of destruction. Everything's back to normal now."

Stella: "???"

Megumi Kato: "That… sounds…"

Frieren: "Magical."

Saeko Busujima: "It definitely raises some questions."

Stella: "Raises too many questions, honestly!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "An angel's room… with cockroaches? And a demon so terrified she went berserk?"

She didn't even know where to begin.

Sui: "What's a cockroach?"

Rei Ao: "We call them 'little strong ones' or 'giant bugs.' Pick your name."

Sui: "Ahhh! That terrifying thing? Ew!"

Akame: "Oh, that? Not edible."

Ayame Yomogawa: "Akame, you really shouldn't try eating everything you see."

Akame: "I only eat what tastes good."

Frieren: "Oh? Did Rei Ao's 'thing' taste good?"

Akame: "Yes, it was delicious."

Frieren: "Oh? So it is delicious."

Stella: "???"

Megumi Kato: "The topic is derailing fast."

Rei Ao: "It's just a small incident. Yukino, don't worry about it. Carry on with your day."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Thank you for the update."

Mabel: "Yukino, can I have some of that fizzy drink? The 'happy water?'"

Yukino: "…"

Her patience was wearing thin.

Rei Ao privately messaged her: "Yukino, don't spoil her too much. She'll drive you mad."

Yukino glanced at the lazy Mabel sprawled across her couch and replied:

"Thank you for the advice."

Rei Ao hoped she would take it to heart and left it at that.

Frieren: "Your lives sound so colorful and lively. Mine feels so dull by comparison. All I do is research magic, hunt demons, or sit alone. It's so boring."

Akame: "Do you not have any friends or companions?"

Frieren: "Friends? Companions? None, really."

Ayame Yomogawa: "Don't you have any interesting events in your world?"

Frieren: "Interesting? Well, there's talk of a hero leading a party to challenge the Demon King, but I haven't encountered them myself."

Mai Sakurajima: "A hero challenging the Demon King? That's such a classic story."

Stella: "Sounds like you have quite a boring life, Frieren. Don't you have anything you really want to do?"

Frieren: "Hmm… let me think. Research magic, hunt demons, soak in hot springs… Oh, right!"

Frieren: @Rei Ao, "I'd like to see your power. Can I? Through a trade?"

Rei Ao: "No problem. Let's do it after our dinner ends."

Frieren: "Great!"

After that, Rei Ao leaned back, full and satisfied.

"I'm done..." he murmured.

After a while, Gabriel finally emerged from her room, dragging her exhausted body to the sofa and collapsing onto it.

"I'm dead... cleaning killed me," she muttered into a pillow, her face buried as if to hide from the world.

Vignette raised a brow, but a gentle smile crossed her face. "Good job, Gabriel. You worked hard."

Meanwhile, Satania, munching on a piece of meat, walked over smugly.

"Haha! Gabriel, it's such a shame you missed out on Raphiel and Vignette's amazing cooking," she gloated, waving the piece of meat in Gabriel's face. "Just look at this juicy, shiny meat! Well, I guess I, the great Satania, will enjoy it on your behalf!"

Before Satania could take a bite, Gabriel suddenly lunged forward and snatched the meat straight from her fork.

"Cheh, what a simpleton," Gabriel said as she chewed smugly.

Satania froze, staring at the empty fork in her hand. A moment later, she erupted.

"That was MY meat! Give it back!" she wailed, grabbing Gabriel by the shoulders and shaking her violently.

Gabriel, unfazed, swallowed the meat with an audible gulp. She opened her mouth, showing Satania the empty space inside.

"Too late," she teased with a smirk.

Devastated, Satania stumbled backward as if struck by lightning.

"My melon bread... now my meat... why is this happening to me?!"

Tears welled up in Satania's eyes as she threw herself into Rei Ao's lap.

"Master, Gabriel's bullying me!" she whimpered.

Rei Ao chuckled, stroking her head gently. "Don't worry. If you train hard, you'll be able to beat Gabriel one day."

Satania's eyes sparkled with renewed determination. "Really?! Then I'll train harder than ever! Tonight, I'll start practicing to defeat her!"

Gabriel yawned lazily from the sofa. "Yeah, good luck with that," she said dismissively.

Raphiel, curious, turned to Rei Ao. "What exactly do you teach Satania as her master?"

Rei Ao opened his mouth to answer, but before he could speak, Vignette suddenly slammed her hands on the table, her face flushed.

"Everyone, focus on the food before it gets cold!" she shouted, steering the conversation back to the meal.

Rei Ao, catching her unspoken concern, nodded. "Fair enough. Let's eat."

After the meal, the group settled down.

Satania, having stuffed herself, fell asleep on Rei Ao's lap. Vignette and Raphiel cleaned up, while Gabriel returned to her room to continue gaming, ignoring the world once more.

Rei Ao carefully placed the sleeping Satania on the sofa, adjusting her position for comfort.

"She's heavier than she looks," he mused, patting her head lightly. "But surprisingly soft..."

It was time for his next task.

Rei Ao: @Frieren, I'm free now.

Frieren: "Great! Let's begin the trade!"

The chat system chimed.

[Ding! Frieren has initiated a trade request!]

[Trade Objective]: She wants to observe your abilities.

Rei Ao set her abilities as the condition for the trade.

[Trade Condition]: "Elf Bloodline," "Elven Magic."

Frieren immediately accepted.
