Anime Girls are Moist

Fubuki: "@Rei Ao, are you there?"

Rei Ao: "Yes. What's up?"

Fubuki: "I want…to get stronger. Please help me!"

Frieren: "Hmm? So you're planning to make a deal?"

Fubuki: "That's right. To become stronger, I'm prepared to give up anything!"

Bibi Dong: "What happened to make you so desperate? Did something get to you?"

Mikoto Misaka: "Calm down, Fubuki. Making a deal is no joke."

Fubuki: "I am calm. I know exactly what I want—and that's power."

Megumi Kato: "I think I understand how you feel. But if you don't mind, could you tell us what happened? Of course, if it's too personal, that's okay."

Rei Ao: "It probably has something to do with her sister."

Fubuki: "…"

Fubuki: "As I thought, nothing escapes you, Rei Ao. There's no harm in telling you. My sister is an incredibly strong hero. She does love me, but that overbearing protective love feels suffocating."

Fubuki: "So I want to show her that I can accomplish things too, that I can become strong. Yet today, I was once again reminded of the massive gap between us—like a bottomless chasm I can never cross."

Yomogawa Ayame: "Fubuki-san, there's no need to belittle yourself so much. Hard work always pays off in some way."

Fubuki: "That won't cut it."

Fubuki: "We have the same psychic powers, but I can't even manage the most basic feats on her level."

Sui: "You do seem pretty shaken up."

Izawa Shizue: "Spending your whole life overshadowed by your sister's protection can really hurt your self-esteem."

Shiba Miyuki: "It's not just about being beaten down; it's more like being constantly overshadowed, never recognized."

Rei Ao: "So you want power from me—to surpass your sister, right?"

Fubuki: "Yes! If you grant me the power to surpass her, I'll do whatever it takes!"

Rei Ao: "If that's your decision, I won't stop you. Let's make the deal."

[Ding! Fubuki has initiated a deal request!]

[Trade Details]: Grant her power beyond her sister, Tatsumaki.

[Ding! Please select trade conditions!]

[Name]: Fubuki

[Level]: 12

[Ability]: "Psychokinesis"

Rei Ao checks Fubuki's status, presumably to decide on the terms of the trade. The rest is omitted…

[Ding! Your trade request is approved!]

[Trade Condition]: "Usage rights of her body once"

[Ding! Confirm this trade?]

Fubuki saw the message. She hesitated only for a moment, her sister's dismissive look flashing through her mind, and bit her lip before confirming:

[Ding! Trade commencing!]

[Recipient]: Fubuki

[Trade Purpose]: Grant her the power to surpass Tatsumaki

[Trade Condition]: "Usage rights of her body once"

[Duration]: 24 hours

…

Rei Ao turned to Ai Hayasaka, who stood beside him.

"Looks like I've got an important deal to handle. Ai Hayasaka, any interest in seeing more of another world?"

Ai shook her head.

"Sorry, I'd just be dead weight, and I might interrupt…whatever you're up to."

"Hah, don't worry about that. Even if you were just watching, I'd probably find it more thrilling."

Rei Ao smiled, unconcerned.

"…"

Ai stayed silent. He really might be a pervert, she thought.

"Right, you mentioned if your Lady Kaguya might be interested?"

"Er…"

Ai opened her mouth, unable to give a definite answer. It'd be complicated. If Kaguya joined him in another world, her entire worldview would shatter. Who knows what might happen to her then?

"Haha, I'm teasing. If she disappeared for a whole day, I bet that would be a headache…"

Rei Ao chuckled.

"Alright, I'm off. See you next time."

In a flash, he vanished, leaving Ai to ponder his parting words. True enough, she thought. My Lady Kaguya's basically a caged bird of the Shinomiya family—she probably can't go anyway.

"My Lady…what should I do?"

Suddenly, Ai noticed a private message from Kaguya:

Kaguya Shinomiya: "Ai, could you come to the rooftop?"

Ai Hayasaka: "Is there something you need, my Lady?"

Kaguya Shinomiya: "…Yes, just a little…something…"

"?"

Ai frowned. Kaguya rarely hesitates like this. Her mind full of questions, she hurried to the rooftop.

…

Meanwhile…

Rei Ao arrived to find Fubuki leaning against the wall of a dim alley. The jubilant cheers outside were from people celebrating their survival, chanting the name of the hero who'd saved them:

"Terrible Tornado!!!"

Of course, most had already forgotten that Fubuki was the first one to protect them.

"Why are you standing here, in the dark?"

Rei Ao approached.

"…"

Fubuki stared out toward the alley's exit.

"Weaklings and losers have no right to stand in the sunlight," she said, as though she'd come to some profound realization. She didn't blame anyone else—only her own weakness.

"…"

Rei Ao raised an eyebrow.

"Looks like you really took a hit. Whatever. Let's head to your place first."

With that, he placed a hand on her shoulder and teleported them both to her home.
