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

"That's the kind of person he is."

Ashikaga Miwa waved her hand, then turned her gaze to Asagiri who was sitting on the sofa.

"But just when I was at a loss as to what to do, I learned about the existence of Utsunomiya Asagiri. If I let him enter Shuchi-in as a freshman, maybe he could change the current atmosphere in Shuchi-in."

"Ah? Why is this?"

Yuuki Asuna didn't understand Ashikaga Miwa's words. After all, she certainly didn't know Asagiri's identity as a "player." So, in Ashikaga's eyes, was it just a new Utsunomiya Asagiri coming to Shuchiin? Perhaps she could change this decadent atmosphere that had accumulated over the years? That was too unrealistic, wasn't it?

"It seems that you don't know him very well."

Seeing Yuuki Asuna's puzzled expression, Ashikaga Miwa said in a calm tone.

"Let me introduce you to Utsunomiya. He was the top scorer in this year's Sakura Province joint entrance exam and also topped the entrance exam for the private Shuchiin Academy. In his second and third years of junior high, he won the National Junior High School Tennis Championship singles title twice, the National Junior High School Badminton Championship singles title, and the National Junior High School Basketball Championship title, respectively."

Asagiri, who had been silent all this time, immediately asked back when he heard this.

"Hmm? Is that all? Where's my most important, glorious achievement?"

"Oh, there's one more."

Ashikaga Miwa added with a hint of helplessness.

"When he was in the third year of junior high, five delinquent students from outside the school blocked his way home and tried to extort money from him. He then single-handedly beat all five of them into the hospital, while he only suffered minor injuries. Although I don't quite understand why he calls this his most important and glorious achievement."

Having said that, Ashikaga Miwa paused for a moment, then looked at Yuuki Asuna and said lightly.

"So, you should understand now. Someone like Utsunomiya, who excels in both academics and athletics, and who transferred in mid-term, even if he doesn't do anything, his mere presence is a sting to those self-righteous, ignorant Jungyuan students."

"Okay, enough of this long story."

Asagiri looked around the office, then smiled at Ashikaga Miwa.

"Yuuki-san and I have something we need to discuss privately, so, Ashikaga-sensei, why don't you step out for a while and have some lunch?"

"You are taking over the magpie's nest."

Ashikaga Miwa said this first, then took out a key from her pocket, gently placed it on the table, stood up and walked out of the office.

"This is the spare key to my office. Take it. Remember to lock the door when you leave."

After Ashikaga Miwa left the office, Asagiri looked at Yuuki Asuna and spoke.

"Now, let's get down to business. Have you read the messages in the app?"

Yuuki Asuna nodded: "Yes, I have seen it."

Asagiri then asked, "Let me ask first, do you live alone?"

"At this stage, yes."

"That's convenient."

Asuna Yuuki didn't think that what Asagiri meant by "convenient" was strange. She knew that she meant that if one lived alone, there would be a private place that could be used to enter the dungeon.

"Let me tell you what I think first."

Yuuki Asuna pursed her lips, sat very straight, placed her hands on her thighs, looked directly at Asagiri and spoke.

"I think we should seize the opportunity and take the initiative to sign up for the dungeon."

Asagiri nodded, thinking that it was indeed Yuuki Asuna. If it were an ordinary girl, who had just completed a dungeon a few hours ago and saw the bloody scene of death, she would probably avoid the dungeon as much as possible. However, the other party made the most correct choice after rational thinking.

"Then let's set the next time we enter the dungeon on Saturday."

"Saturday?"

Yuuki Asuna frowned slightly when she heard this: "Why don't you start signing up now? That way, you can enter the dungeon on Thursday."

Asagiri spread his hands and said something that Yuuki Asuna never expected him to say.

“Thursday is school time.”

"what?"

Yuuki Asuna looked surprised and asked in confusion.

"Are you...the type who doesn't want to miss classes?"

Asagiri shook his head and smiled.

"How is that possible? I can only starve."

"Then why..."

"What if there are other players in our school?"

Asagiri suppressed his smile and explained seriously.

"This is the first week of school, and also our first day as players. If there were other players in school, both of us would have asked for leave on Thursday, or even skipped classes. Plus, we both entered school together this morning, so the flaw would have been too obvious."

"Well, you're right. I hadn't considered that."

Yuuki Asuna nodded first, then said thoughtfully.

"The app's rules don't specify a specific time to enter the dungeon that day, so even on Fridays when we have classes, it's not possible. If we were in class and it suddenly disappeared, we'd be done for. Fortunately, as friends, if we queue up together, we can definitely enter the same dungeon."

"That's settled then. I hope this game won't adopt the dynamic difficulty level known as the root of all evil."

"Dynamic difficulty?"

Asuna Yuuki had never played any game before, and she was a little confused about the professional terms that Asagiri was saying, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What is dynamic difficulty?"

Asagiri patiently explained, "Dynamic difficulty is a measure game developers use to prevent the game from becoming too easy and causing players to lose interest. Simply put, the monsters in each area will become stronger as the player's level increases."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna frowned and looked worried.

"You're saying... because the rating we received after completing the rookie dungeon for the first time was too high, it might cause the dungeon difficulty to increase significantly the next time we enter? Then... if that's the case, what's the point of trying to get the highest clearance rating every time?"

"So... this is very important."

Asagiri looked very expectant and spoke with a chuckle.

"If even this can be handled well, this game will be really interesting."

Yuuki Asuna sighed slightly and held her forehead helplessly.

"I'm starting to suspect that your playing the kazoo in class wasn't because of your agreement with Mr. Ashikaga, or because you wanted to attract attention, but simply for fun..."

"No doubt about it."

Asagiri answered honestly without any concealment.

"I'm just having fun."

After saying this, Asagiri stood up and walked out of the office.

"Okay, I'm going to go get my lunch. I remember there's a gym inside Xiuzhiyuan. Let's meet there after lunch."

When she heard the word "bento", Yuuki Asuna seemed to remember something and stood up suddenly.

"I feel like I forgot something. I was so focused on the dungeon that I forgot to bring my lunch to school. Let's go buy some lunch together."

"you sure?"

Asagiri asked back with a smile.

"I'm a celebrity at Xiuzhiyuan now, and many people are hostile to me. You're also a new student who just arrived at Xiuzhiyuan. If you're seen walking with me, you might be targeted and ostracized as well."

Yuuki Asuna replied without hesitation.

"Hmph, whoever I choose to be friends with is my own freedom. Besides, we've been through life and death together. Just because you're unpopular in school, I have to pretend I don't know you and then rely on your help when I enter a dungeon? I'm not that kind of person. I wouldn't do such a thing. I don't mind being ostracized."

Asagiri smiled and said, "Oh, you are quite rebellious."

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

After locking the office door, Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna came to the supermarket window in Shuchiin together.

It should be said that Shuchiin is Shuchiin.

In addition to the ordinary bento boxes with prices fluctuating around 800 yen, the bento boxes sold here also include high-end bento boxes such as steak sets priced at 5,000 yen and seafood sets priced at 7,000 yen. After all, not every student at Shuchiin comes from an extremely wealthy family. Some students' parents are very busy at work and have no time to prepare bento boxes. They also feel that the bento boxes sold in convenience stores outside are not very healthy, so there is such a supermarket window on campus.

"What kind of lunch do you want?"

Hearing Asagiri's question, Yuuki Asuna raised her head and took a look at the bento style and price written above.

"Just... a regular tonkatsu bento."

"Okay, two tonkatsu bento boxes, how much?"

"Shenghui, 1,600 yen."

"Okay, let's tie it together."

Seeing Asagiri reaching into her coat pocket as if to take out her wallet to pay directly, Yuuki Asuna hurriedly took out her own wallet and took the initiative to speak.

"I'll treat you."

"it is good."

What Yuuki Asuna didn't expect was that Asagiri was really not polite at all and quickly gave up the seat in front of the supermarket window.

"I've been waiting for you to say this. Okay, come on."

"No, you..."

Asuna Yuuki looked at Asagiri speechlessly, thinking that although she really wanted to treat him, the problem was that he agreed too quickly and was a little too impatient, wasn't he?

Asagiri looked indifferent and waved his hand.

"No need to thank me."

"Thank u?"

Yuuki Asuna was a little amused and helpless.

"I'm treating you, shouldn't you thank me?"

"Huh? What kind of logic is this?"

Asagiri explained in a matter-of-fact tone.

"To be able to treat the esteemed Asagiri-san to a bento, and even to have the chance to eat a bento with her, facing this gift from fate, don't you feel any gratitude? This is not good, Yuuki-san."

Asuna Yuuki had a complicated expression on her face, not knowing where to start complaining. She first paid for the two lunch boxes, then handed one of the lunch boxes to Asagiri. She only spoke after leaving the supermarket window.

"I felt something was off in the dungeon, and it became even more obvious when I got to school. Your personality... is truly bizarre. You can actually speak so self-absorbedly and in such a matter-of-fact tone..."

"Because I'm telling the truth."

Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna found a secluded corner in Shuchiin, and only after they sat on the bench did they say with a smile.

"It's the truth, why hide it?"

Asuna Yuuki rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, thank you for giving me the opportunity to treat you to a lunch box. Is that okay?"

"It's all because you know how to be grateful. I'm just worried that you don't know how to be grateful."

Asagiri opened the lunch box, took out the chopsticks inside, and continued while eating the lunch box.

"Oh, there's something else that's extremely important and urgent, and we need to make a decision right away."

"whats the matter?"

"Code name."

Yuuki Asuna was a little confused when she heard this: "Code name?"
