In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

When it was time to check out, Asagiri wanted to pay, but just like the time when she bought a bento at the school supermarket, Yuuki Asuna took the initiative to pay.

"You saved my life during the first dungeon, and I'm embarrassed to be staying at your house again today, so let me handle the payment."

After returning home, Asuna Yuuki tied an apron around her body, then took out a hair tie from her pocket, bit it gently with her lips, and used both hands to tie her beautiful flaxen long hair into a high ponytail, a hairstyle suitable for cooking, and then wrapped the hair tie around it twice to secure it. Just by looking at the proficiency of this series of actions, you can tell that she didn't do it on a whim, but is a veteran who cooks frequently.

"Let me help you wash the vegetables."

"Forget it now."

Yuuki Asuna reached out her hand, gently touched Asagiri's shoulder, and said unhappily.

"You who order takeout and eat lunch boxes every day, don't bother me. Just wait patiently. I'll cook you a dish first, and then make a stew. Are there any dietary restrictions?"

Asagiri didn't say anything more, just nodded.

"That's fine. Anyway, I'm just being polite. I don't really intend to help."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna rolled her eyes speechlessly and said unhappily.

"I knew you were just being polite. Alright, go sit and wait."

Then, Yuuki Asuna walked into the kitchen carrying the vegetables she had just bought.

............

About an hour later.

"Wow, it's so hot~"

Wearing thick gloves, Asuna Yuuki put the iron pot on the table, then opened the lid. An appetizing aroma instantly filled the air.

Then, she took off her gloves, went to the kitchen to get two bowls of rice, and took two pairs of chopsticks. After she had sorted everything out, she looked at Asagiri who was sitting on the sofa and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"The meal is ready, come and eat it while it's hot."

"Yuuki-san, you are truly a good wife and mother."

Hearing Asagiri's praise, Yuuki Asuna's pretty face turned slightly red. In order to hide her shyness, she deliberately turned her head away from Asagiri and hummed in a standard tsundere tone.

"As a teammate, I'm just thinking that if you have a good meal, you might be in better shape and be able to clear the level faster, which would benefit me as well. It's that simple."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Asagiri nodded, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of stewed meat and put it into his mouth. After tasting it, he seemed to say with some regret.

"That's such a shame. The food is so delicious, and it was made especially for me. If it were a normal high school boy, he would have completely fallen for it by now."

Asuna Yuuki untied her apron and put it aside. She also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of stewed meat and put it in the bowl. She looked as if she had seen through Asagiri's thoughts and said in a slightly helpless tone.

"You're not normal, so you won't fall at all, right? I already guessed..."

"Do not."

Asagiri shook her head at first, then looked at Yuuki Asuna's face, smiled and said softly.

"I've already fallen."

“Eh? Ah…”

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna was stunned for a few seconds, her brain went into a state of shutdown. The moment her brain resumed functioning, her pretty face instantly turned red and she stammered.

"Eh? Eh? You...you shouldn't make such jokes...I, I...well..."

"Okay, let's eat."

During the rest of the meal, Yuuki Asuna would secretly glance at Asagiri who was sitting opposite her every few seconds. She felt that the moment the other person said that, her heartbeat must have exceeded 180 beats.

What do you mean it has already fallen?

In the end, is it what I think it means?

...............

After dinner, Yuuki Asuna took the initiative to clean up the dishes, then sat on the sofa, looking at Asagiri who was playing with her mobile phone there. She pursed her lips and felt very nervous in her heart. It seemed that the atmosphere in the room had become inexplicably anxious.

Maybe the atmosphere wasn't anxious at all, but she was the one who was anxious.

Several hours passed in this silence.

"Hmm... I'm so sleepy..."

In order to move more conveniently when entering the dungeon, Yuuki Asuna changed into the newly bought, washed sportswear, which she could also wear as pajamas. Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, she seemed a little listless, yawning constantly and could hardly open her eyes.

"Are you sleepy? If you are, go to sleep."

After hearing what Asagiri said, Yuuki Asuna thought that before officially entering the dungeon, the APP should be able to initiate the early wake-up function like last time, so she nodded and lay on the sofa and fell into a baby-like sleep.

..........

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Asuna Yuuki once again felt that familiar feeling of waking up suddenly from her sleep without any buffer.

She sat up from the sofa, took out her mobile phone, and clicked on the APP with the eye icon. A countdown was displayed on it, and the time was fifteen minutes. Below the countdown was a paragraph about the content of this copy.

[The location of this instance is: Hotel]

[The time limit for this instance is: 12 hours]

[The goal of this "player" mission is: survive until the time limit ends]

[Instance Public Reminder: There are extremely terrifying evil spirits wandering around in the hotel. Please try to avoid direct confrontation with them.]

[Because your last instance received an A- or higher rating, a special reminder is given]

[Special note: Weapons made of ordinary materials cannot completely eliminate evil spirits]

After reading the words in the APP and noticing the word "evil spirit", Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She looked up at Asagiri and saw that the other party was holding something that looked like a medical box, and she didn't know what he was preparing.

"The copy prompt has appeared..."

"Ah."

Asagiri nodded, holding the medical box, and sat next to Yuuki Asuna, comparing the content given by the APP in her mobile phone with that of Yuuki Asuna.

“There are two differences.”

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna turned her gaze to the font in Asagiri's phone and indeed found two differences.

The public reminder of the copy she obtained was "There is an extremely terrifying evil spirit wandering in the hotel, please try to avoid direct combat with it."

The public hint for the copy obtained by Asagiri is that "there are extremely terrifying evil spirits wandering around in the hotel, and there is more than one. Please try to fight quickly and avoid being at a disadvantage in numbers."

The special tips they received were also different.

Asagiri's special tip is...

"You can get valuable information at the reception desk in the hotel's first-floor lobby."

"Are the dungeon prompts and the special prompts I received different?"

Yuuki Asuna murmured, looking thoughtful.

"The difference in dungeon prompts is probably due to the difference in strength between us. In other words, according to the app, if I were to fight an evil spirit with my current strength, I would most likely not be able to defeat it, while your strength is enough to destroy a single evil spirit. That's why it gives different prompts... This app is quite user-friendly. As for the special prompts..."

Just when Yuuki Asuna was halfway through her words, Asagiri suddenly grabbed her white and tender feet. This sudden attack made Yuuki Asuna stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face turned red instantly.

"You...why did you suddenly grab my feet..."

"Muscle wraps and bandages."

Asagiri seemed to have switched from his daily abstract mode to professional player mode. He didn't say anything outrageous, but spoke in a calm tone.

"Professional athletes will use muscle tape and bandages to fix their ankles before playing. This can reduce the risk of ankle sprains. Although the APP rules say that any type of protective gear is not allowed, this should not be included."

"Oh, oh... so that's how it is..."

Asuna Yuuki raised her hand to smooth her long hair, watching Asagiri put her feet on her legs, then tore off the bandages and muscle patches with both hands, and carefully wrapped them up. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered in an apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry... I just thought... I thought you had some strange thoughts about me, so..."

"no need to say sorry."

Asagiri said bluntly, "If you say I helped you with this preparation work out of pure desire, then you're wronging me. But if you say I was acting with absolute rationality, without even a hint of ulterior motive, then you're overestimating me."

"You...you bastard..."

When Yuuki Asuna heard this, her ears turned red and she whispered while biting her teeth.

"Pervert...pervert...you actually have those kinds of thoughts when you touch someone else's feet...you are such a pervert..."

"Don't spit blood."

Asagiri replied with a chuckle.

"It's not someone else. It's you, Yuuki-san. When I touch you, I have some common sense thoughts. The qualifier should be you."

Asuna Yuuki lowered her head and seemed to have no reaction, just a soft "hmm". In fact, she felt her cheeks were getting hot and steam was about to come out of her head.

The straight ball attack is so terrifying.

.............

[Player Utsunomiya Asagiri, preparing to enter the dungeon]

[Countdown 10, 9, 8...1, 0]

The moment the countdown reached zero, a thick, dark red fog appeared before Asagiri's eyes. When the fog dissipated, he had found himself in a completely unfamiliar room that looked like a hotel suite.

Just as he speculated, measures such as wrapping the ankle with muscle patches and bandages to prevent sprains and injuries will not be forcibly eliminated when entering the dungeon. This is reasonable. After all, the player can think of this, and the caution in preparing for the dungeon is also a reflection of the player's personal ability.

After confirming this, Asagiri began to look around him, and saw that there were not only him and Yuuki Asuna in the room, but also three others, who seemed to be players.

One was a young man wearing an expensive suit, tie, and a slicked-back hair, who looked quite handsome, and a young woman with heavy makeup standing next to him, very close to him, almost leaning on him.

From the actions of the young woman, Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna could tell at a glance that the two must have known each other before entering the dungeon. Perhaps they were also part of a team relationship between players?

However, the last player's outfit seemed a bit strange.

"That is..."

The player was very petite, and seemed to be only about 1.5 meters tall. She was wearing a white dress with two white stockings, a pair of delicate leather shoes, a white beret, and holding a cane-like object in her hand.

The strangest thing is that the APP clearly states in the prompts that players cannot use things from the real world to disguise their appearance when entering the copy, but the other party is wearing a gorgeous white half-face mask that covers the upper half of the face, like a masquerade ball.

Girl...should be a girl, right?

Seeing that several players in the room were looking at her, the girl did not feel nervous at all. Instead, she gently lifted her skirt with one hand and performed a very standard etiquette gesture. She spoke in a soft voice with a hint of smile.

"Hello, everyone."

The man in the suit looked at the girl with a frown on his face.

"Hey, that mask on your face and that cane in your hand, are they equipment?"

The girl nodded without hiding anything and replied with a smile.

"Yes."

"Huh, you already have two pieces of equipment when you enter the second dungeon. It seems that you have received good reviews in the rookie dungeon."

Seeing the young man in the suit, he just glanced at the girl's cane and mask and then looked away. Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna both realized that this man didn't know that after killing other players, as long as he could get their mobile phone, he could randomly draw a piece of their equipment or props.

This is normal. After all, this is a hidden rule that Asagiri verified in the rookie copy by killing a player who has passed the level and taking away the other's mobile phone.

There must be more than one player who killed people in the rookie copy, Asagiri, but there are probably only a few players who can directly discover this hidden rule in the rookie copy. It is even possible that at this stage, only Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna know this hidden rule.

After all, if you want to verify this hidden rule, the first condition is to obtain another player's mobile phone. Secondly, the player to whom the mobile phone belongs must have completed the game and been promoted from a new player to a formal player. The last condition is to kill the other party and click on the APP with the eye icon.

In the rookie copy, it is almost impossible to meet so many conditions, and most importantly, to have the idea of verifying the hidden rules.

"Tsk... a little girl, and then two... they look like high school students..."

The man in the suit looked at Yuuki Asuna and Asagiri, a look of arrogance appeared between his brows, and then he spoke in a deep voice.

"I'll be frank. You must obey my orders in this dungeon. Do whatever I tell you to do, and I'll help you clear it."

Hearing this, the masked girl in a dress said with a smile in her voice.

"Follow your orders? We're all players, why should we do this?"

"Huh, isn't that easy? Because I have the strongest ability."
