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

Asagiri asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to eat eel rice?"

Kotoko Iwanaga held her cheek with one hand, her face flushed with shyness, but the words she said made the jaws of all the passengers in the car drop to the ground in shock.

"Aren't we spending the night together tonight? This is our first time, so I hope to leave a good memory. Of course, I need to eat something to replenish my body~"

"Eels are a symbol of children and safe childbirth. Because their shape is very similar to a male organ, they are also considered a symbol of harmonious marital life."

Having said that, Iwanaga Kotoko turned her head shyly, blushing and whispering.

“It looks very nourishing~”

Immediately afterwards, Iwanaga Kotoko turned her head again, looked directly into Asagiri's face with unprecedented seriousness and solemnity, and spoke righteously.

"Give it your all tonight!"

Passengers in the car: “........”

This cute girl dressed like a daughter from a wealthy family, what kind of lewd words did she say?!

What do you mean by going all out? Where exactly are you going to use your full strength?!

Is this still the train from Sakura Province? What kind of dirty joke planet is this?

"Hmph, you want to challenge me?"

Asagiri crossed his arms in front of his chest, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his voice was filled with unparalleled absolute confidence that only belonged to the strong.

"Okay, I accept your challenge!"

Kotoko Iwanaga clenched her pink fists and shook them, unwilling to be outdone.

"Hehe, although you are strong, I am no ordinary person either! Tonight, let us have a hearty battle!"

Passengers in the car: "......"

That handsome boy and the cute girl dressed like a daughter from a wealthy family are not only about appearance...

Even this jaw-dropping abstraction is a match made in heaven...

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

Later, in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, inside a store with a sign showing a picture of unagi rice bowl at the door.

"I'm starting~"

Kotoko Iwanaga opened her chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of brightly colored, fragrant grilled eel, put it into her mouth, and a look of happiness immediately appeared on her little face.

"Mmm~ It's really delicious, it really lives up to its reputation~"

"Is it that delicious?"

Asagiri casually picked up a piece of eel and put it into his mouth. After tasting it carefully, he shook his head.

"It's just average. I feel... not as good as Asuna's cooking."

"whispering sound..."

Iwanaga Kotoko first made a dissatisfied sound like a cat, and then said with an unwilling look on her face.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Asuna's cooking is indeed delicious, comparable to those hotel chefs... In this regard, I, who can't cook at all, am no match for her..."

After saying this, Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head and, while eating her eel rice, brought the topic back to tonight's action.

"If it's just about killing that man named Hosokawa Kei, it's actually not that difficult. For you, it's just a matter of sending an email. There's no need for the two of us to come all the way here. This is the main reason."

Kotoko Iwanaga took out a notebook with a black cover and handed it to Asagiri. Asagiri took it and opened it, and found that it contained information about the serial murders that Kotoko Iwanaga had collected through her investigation of the monsters.

"Left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, torso..."

Asagiri glanced at the recorded information in the notebook and said in a flat tone.

"Every victim's body dumped in the mountains was missing a part. Is that guy playing some kind of jigsaw puzzle?"

"It really is."

Kotoko Iwanaga was talking while eating. This topic, which would make ordinary people feel disgusted and uncomfortable, seemed to have no effect on her at all, and it didn't even affect her eating.

"He kept the victim's body in his apartment and sewed it back together. As for why he did this... perhaps it was some cult or superstition, or perhaps he was simply insane. The mindset of a psychopathic killer is truly incomprehensible. His act of cutting up the victim's body and then piecing it back together, whether intentional or not, seriously violated the order of this world."

"He forcibly merged the souls of the wronged dead, carrying strong resentment, in this way. The result was a completely evil spirit. Moreover, due to its extremely strong resentment and hatred, the power of that evil spirit was extremely strong. Ordinary monsters dared not approach it at all."

"Last night, he kidnapped a woman and brought her to his apartment. He must have planned to take advantage of Friday, when he was off work and had no work for the weekend, to kill her and complete the final part of the corpse doll, which was to sew the woman's head back on."

"At the moment of completion, his own twisted evil thoughts, as well as the resentment of the six innocent souls, will make the evil spirit even more powerful, endangering the safety of all the monsters in this city. As the God of Monster Wisdom, I will never allow this to happen."

Hearing what Iwanaga Kotoko said, Asagiri nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"You didn't explain this before because you were worried that Asuna and Kato would feel uncomfortable if they heard it?"

"more or less."

Kotoko Iwanaga picked up a piece of eel and put it in her mouth, smiling.

"After all, they are still normal people, unlike the two of us."

Chapter 16: 015 The Diplomat’s Perfect Talk

“I think I’m pretty normal.”

Hearing Asagiri's words, Iwanaga Kotoko smiled and shook her head.

"No normal person can discuss this kind of thing and still be in the mood to continue eating eel rice, right?"

"I'm doing this to prepare for the battle tonight."

Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I can't confirm how powerful that evil spirit is. I still have to fight it with my best strength..."

"Evil spirit? No no no."

Asagiri waved his hand and interrupted with a smile.

"I don't care about this mere evil spirit at all. I'm referring to the battle later."

Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko naturally knew what Asagiri was referring to. A blush appeared on her face, and she turned her head to the side and whispered.

"You're being too straightforward..."

Kotoko Iwanaga was a little shy, but only for a short moment.

"But I also like you like this very much~"

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

That night, on the streets of Kawasaki City.

Kawasaki City is different from bustling Tokyo, which is full of tall office buildings, bright lights, and crowds of people on the streets. It is not a big city. Although you can occasionally see a few buildings dozens of stories high, most of the area is composed of two-story and three-story shops and single-family buildings.

After all, there is a saying that goes, there are only two places in the Sakura Province, one is Tokyo and the other is the countryside.

At this time, the green light rider Kotoko Iwanaga, who was walking on the street with Asagiri and had just eaten two servings of eel rice and drank a bowl of miso soup, was in the midst of an inner struggle between her conscience and her conscience.

Although she usually tells dirty jokes and makes some shocking remarks that make Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi helpless from time to time, when it comes to spending the night with Asagiri, she feels inexplicably nervous.

Of course, what Iwanaga Kotoko was nervous about was not the matter itself. She was only looking forward to and longing for the possibility that after finishing her business, she would be able to spend the night in a hotel suite with Asagiri. A single man and a single woman would be under the same roof, and maybe some close contact could happen.

She was nervous about...

Do you want to call Yuuki Asuna first and tell her?

If I want to say it, how should I say it?

"Hey, Asuna, I'm going to sleep with Asagiri tonight, and we might do some fun things to make me feel the pain of losing my virginity, so I came here to tell you."

Regardless of the original intention, this sounds like a complete provocation!

“Hey hey…”

Thinking of this, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but raise her hand and poke Asagiri's arm. As for why she didn't poke her shoulder...it was because there was a big height difference. If she wanted to poke Asagiri's shoulder, she would have to raise her hand deliberately, which would not fit her image of an elegant young lady wearing a long dress.

"Well... Asuna knows what you want..."

"Of course I know that."

Asagiri shrugged and replied casually.

"Have you forgotten? When you asked me to come to Kanagawa with you this afternoon, it was Asuna who said she had to do special training with Kato, so she couldn't come along. This is what they call understanding, understanding everything. Everything is self-explanatory."

"real or fake?"

Iwanaga Kotoko's expression seemed a little complicated, and she was doubtful.

"According to Asuna's personality, how could she..."

"Because the things we experienced were not normal."

Asagiri said calmly as he looked at the groups of people walking on the street.

"Those of us who have been chosen to become players already live in a completely different world from those before us. Time and again, we clear dangerous dungeons that ordinary people can hardly imagine, thereby gaining powerful powers far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

"The four of us are all teammates. I've said this many times before. In a game like this, forming a team requires unconditional trust between members. So-called Shura Field and factional strife will only cause the team to fall apart."

"In the final analysis, our current relationship has already surpassed the scope of so-called friends and lovers. It's not just me and Asuna, or me and you, isn't it the same for you and Asuna? Is this the end of a relationship that we've trusted so many times and that we can trust completely?"

Having said that, Chaowu shook his head and spoke word by word.

"No, absolutely not."

After hearing what Asagiri said, Iwanaga Kotoko was stunned. It took her a long time to react and she couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder... No wonder you got the special job of diplomat, you are really amazing..."

Doesn’t what Asagiri said make sense?

No, it's not. On the contrary, what he said made so much sense that Iwanaga Kotoko had an inexplicable feeling when she listened to it, as if it was not Asagiri who said those words, but her own heart.

What the four members of the team have experienced and what they will face in the future are things that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

If that's the case, why should we follow the world's ideas? Can't we just do whatever makes us happy?

As long as the four of us can be together forever, that's enough...

"No, wait a minute."

Thinking of this, Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly realized that something was wrong. She looked at Asagiri with a smile on her face and frowned slightly.

"How did it become four people? Did you include Kei in it?"

"Oh, you said that."

Asagiri looked incredulous, as if what Iwanaga Kotoko had just said was outrageous, and spoke righteously.

"We're all teammates on the same team, how could you exclude Kato-san? I'm warning you once. If you make a mistake like this again, you'll be exiled to the world of heavy girls to form a band."

Iwanaga Kotoko was a little speechless, curled her lips and muttered softly.

"It was you who took it upon yourself to include Hui in the calculation, yet you're criticizing me, tsk..."

A few minutes later, Iwanaga Kotoko and Asagiri stopped at the door of an apartment building.

"This is the apartment where that guy lives. He lives on the eighth floor, room number 802. I've had the monsters check from a distance. He just got home from get off work and is probably preparing to kill the sixth victim."

"Then it's time for me to take the stage."

"Yes, appearing before the victim as a 'player'."

With a sweet smile on her cute face, Kotoko Iwanaga slowly spoke.

"After all, as we enter dungeons more and more often, the number of players who see us will also increase. This is unavoidable. After all, we can't kill every player we encounter in every dungeon. But what we can do is set up misleading information in the real world."

"It just so happens that we're going to eliminate the evil spirits this time, and we have the kidnapped victim as a witness. If someone tries to find us in the real world based on how we dress as 'players', they'll mistakenly think we're operating in Kawasaki City."

"Through this commission, we will earn the sincere gratitude and trust of the mountain gods and the monsters in this city. They will then serve as our spies. Players who have entered the dungeon will have the ability to 'observe' strange things. If such people appear in this city, they will immediately report to me."

"This way, if we make an enemy in the dungeon and fail to eliminate them immediately, we can use this misleading trap to lure them into Kawasaki City, thereby revealing their true identity and gaining the advantage of being in the dark while the enemy knows."

"It's just that my outfit is too conspicuous. My style aside, the main thing is this cane I always carry with me. So I'd better try not to appear in front of anyone as a 'player'."

Asagiri nodded and praised with a smile.

"Well, this is a good plan you came up with."

After receiving Asagiri's praise, the smile on Iwanaga Kotoko's face became more obvious. She leaned over and lay on Asagiri's chest, standing on tiptoe.

"Then as the Leader, reward me~"

"walk slowly."
