I am a reincarnation player.

Each of them had one enhancement point left, ready to enhance something later, or simply draw randomly.

The points adding process in the reincarnation game was simple and crude. In the time it took Yuki to drink a cup of tea, the two of them had finished it.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Yuki felt that both of them had become stronger, especially Hayasaka Ai, who seemed to possess enormous power in her petite body.

The two of them didn't waste any words and directly showed their respective players' simple panels. Among the not-so-complicated information, Yuki mainly looked at the column of ego characteristics.

[Adolescent Syndrome (LV2), maintains the 'invisibility' effect for thirty minutes, the traces of existence become slightly thinner, and the cooling time is two hours. ]

[The Fool's Mask (LV2), the disguise effect lasts for two hours, has two personality masks, slightly interferes with perception before activation (permanent effect), and the cooling time is six hours. ]

The usage time has been extended, the cooldown time has not changed, and the adjective has also changed. If I remember correctly, Mai-senpai's characteristic was previously "tiny".

This has been tested in actual combat. When Thomas fell into a frenzy, he deliberately ignored Hayasaka Ai next to Yuuki, so he thought he was a person, but when he was a little more sober, he found something wrong.

A flawed skill.

Yuki nodded secretly, and when he looked at Hayasaka Ai's characteristics, his expression became strange again. The effect itself was not improved, the key was the permanent effect.

I was just worrying about how to hide my identity in the game, so I could only let Hayasaka Ai use her precious specialization points to take a gamble.

If you really feel sleepy, just give me a pillow.

Yuki glanced at his upgraded panel, also focusing on the features column.

No, I didn’t draw any luck-related gifts.

Yuki glanced at his latest panel. He had already upgraded before teaching Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai. He also divided the specialization points into two parts to increase his adaptability to different environments as much as possible.

The biggest change is still the characteristics, which has even reached a qualitative change in a sense.

When it was just unlocked, Yuki couldn't save any costumes, it was purely a matter of luck. For example, he also drew costumes in the last battle, but since they were useless, he just pretended nothing happened.

But now he had a memory space, and if it was useful, he could save it and use it as a trump card to build a plan around.

"Your ego is very strange. Drawing gift equipment? Is that equivalent to always having a strengthening point?"

Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai also saw Yuuki's player panel for the first time. In fact, it was not as exaggerated as they imagined. He didn't even have an excellent-level skill.

"How is that possible? The drawn gift is one-time use, and it may not have a positive effect." Yuki spread his hands. It can only be said that the main skills are not fully displayed. For example, his strongest skill should be intelligence analysis, or the foresight that comes with a time traveler.

Sakurajima Mai had seen Yuki use his special ability to turn the tables, so she looked more carefully. The more she looked, the more confused she became: "What does this 'back killer' mean? Some people can be feared just by their backs. In this state, they can show off their power in front of others by just turning their backs to others..."

"Alright, alright, stop reading. It's embarrassing."

Yuki quickly put away the player panel, which was the most useful gift he had picked out recently.

"What does it mean to be a saint in front of others? Can you explain it to me?"

"Oh, let's not worry about such trivial matters. I have no idea how to use it. Let's keep it for now." Yuki waved his hand and ended the topic.

He hasn't figured out how to use it yet. His status must be highlighted by his strength. If he really wants to show off in the dungeon, what if he meets someone stubborn enough to try it on him? Wouldn't that make him look stupid?

Yuki picked up the teacup. Logically, the offline meeting between the three of them should have ended here, but didn’t an accident happen?

They are now not only people, but also players. They have entered a completely new order unknowingly. The meaning of banding together for warmth has suddenly become greater, and they will no longer be separated by games or reality.

Tick, tick.

No one spoke, just listening to the clock and staring blankly at the teacup. No one hated this boredom, at least they felt safe staying in this apartment.

They supported each other to get through the bloodthirsty red moon, and knew each other's background. Li Dan left a deep psychological shadow on everyone, including Yuki, and they felt that the word "player" was unreliable.

"Relax, the more you return to normal life, the more you act like a normal person, the less likely you will be suspected." Yuuki broke the silence with a dry laugh and looked at the time again, "Hayasaka, aren't you going back to Tokyo?"

Are you suggesting that I should leave?

Hayasaka Ai glanced at the boy. In fact, she didn't want to go back because she couldn't cope with the current situation at all, but she had to go back because her existence had meaning there.

"Something happened at home, so I'm temporarily on leave from school."

"Why don't you just stay at my place?" Mai immediately made an invitation.

"No, there are more important things at home that I have to deal with." Hayasaka Ai slowly stood up, glanced at the expressionless Yuuki, and matched her outfit with a mature smile like a queen. "But if I have time, I will come to you. After all, my characteristics are most suitable for running around."

With hacking skills and the Fool's Mask, she can come and go as she pleases as long as she is a little cautious. But is it difficult for her to be free because she is worried about Miss Kaguya?

Yuuki read what Hayasaka Ai was thinking and knew that certain information was withheld while observing the scene.

"By the way, I want to ask you something, and you must tell the truth."

The girl who was sent to the door by Sakurajima Mai turned around, hesitated for a long time, and then asked with determination:

"With your ability, it would be better for you to join those large groups. Whether it's resources or intelligence, we can't bring much, and we even need to rely on you to slowly obtain them."

This is the difference between being a thigh and hugging a thigh. Sakurajima Mai also turned her head to look, and it was obvious that she had the same question.

It would be fine if the game was completely separated from reality, but now it is obvious that a new order is taking shape, and this man can reap huge benefits from this storm that will sooner or later sweep the world.

This question is not easy to answer.

Yuki was half lying on the sofa like a salted fish, staring at the ceiling in a daze, because this problem concerned himself more.

"From a rational point of view, I like to hold the initiative in my hands rather than being used by others. It's enough for something like Li Dan to happen once. I can't really tell who is a higher-ranked player than him."

"Besides, you two know my secret, so I feel more at ease keeping it with you."

Hmm, makes sense.

Mai and Hayasaka Ai nodded at the same time. To them, Yuki didn't seem like the kind of person who would do anything to get ahead. The reincarnation game could decide life and death in an instant. Both Li Dan and Thomas needed to sign a contract before they could trust each other.

It is not easy for a high-ranking person to come back alive from the game. After discovering that the props are uncontrollable, the best way is destruction.

"What about sensibility?"

"It's even simpler, compared to power and strength..." Yuki, who had been lazy just now, stood up instantly, clenched his right fist, and looked Hayasaka Ai up and down.

She has a full chest, black stockings and high heels, and a slender waist that can be held in one hand.

“I listen more to my inner desires.”

Just as Miss Mai said, Sky Island Yuuki is just a pig-headed boy.

Hayasaka Ai clenched her fists and walked quickly down the stairs. She didn't stop until she reached the door of the apartment and glanced at the lights behind her.

Oh no, it seems like my true nature has been exposed. It definitely won’t escape their eyes.

Not good, not good, not good.

The girl was spinning in circles, ever since Under the Red Moon, she had used two forms, the flamboyant hottie and the aloof player, and she was almost used to the latter.

Calmness, rationality, and sharp words, these key points have just been broken, but if you think about it carefully, there was a problem with the mask this time.

In the tunnel, when the zombies were about to catch up, I almost cried.

"Forget it. They don't need to be on guard anyway. To be honest, I am the one who revealed my weakness."

Yuuki's answer made her very satisfied, as if the support behind her became more solid, and the goal was possible to achieve. On the other hand -

She glanced at the deserted streets late at night, walked forward silently, and was soon shrouded in darkness.

The game is hopeless, reality is painful, and I am also longing for friends.

......

"Deserved it."

Mai Sakurajima leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, watching Yuki covering his head with an ice pack. Just now, Ai Hayasaka blushed instantly and threw the teacup over with the extreme strength she had just obtained.

But then again, was that her true nature just now revealed? And it was strange, Thomas was obviously more explicit, but she was able to deal with him with a smile.

She found that Hayasaka Ai was not as difficult to understand as she had imagined, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you so happy to see me in such bad luck?" Yuki knocked on the table. In fact, Hayasaka Ai didn't cause any substantial harm to him. Her physical strength was improved in all aspects.

"Who told you to keep talking dirty to Hayasaka-san? Do you think everyone is me?"

"You mean... I can only talk dirty to you?"

"I never said that!" Sakurajima Mai stomped her feet lightly, and then looked at Yuki who stretched out his feet, as if he was going to step on her head-on.

"You, forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you, you can sleep on the sofa tonight, I'll go take a shower."

She spoke in a very fast tone, picked up her change of clothes and ran to the bathroom. As soon as she walked in, she opened the door and stuck her head out, her eyes full of vigilance.

"No peeking!"

"Who do you think I am? I'm a gentleman. Have I ever been rude to you?" Yuki looked very sad.

This... seems to be the case.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted..."

"Don't underestimate me. Just by hearing the sound, I can make three bowls of rice."

Sakurajima Mai, who had just apologized halfway, twitched her mouth, took a deep breath, and slammed the door shut.

"You should sleep on the balcony!"

The sofa has been moved out to the small balcony, and the night wind keeps coming in through the open window. Even with 'extreme' physical strength, one can still hear the tossing and turning sounds in the bedroom.

Although he just made his senior blush, the smile on Yuki's face never disappeared. He glanced at the apartment building diagonally opposite and felt that it was quite interesting.

He is different from Hayasaka Ai. He has no intention of putting on a personality mask. He just faces different people and different situations with different mentalities.

'It still has something to do with my first copy. If it weren't for those two, I would definitely go the lone ranger route, and that would be a completely different scenario.'

Cold, decisive, and efficient, this kind of lone player is not bad, but he has two beautiful girls around him who can rely on him. Isn't it crazy for him to continue to follow this route?

"I'm not a masochist, and I haven't forgotten why I worked so hard all these years." Yuki lay on his back, curled up in the soft sofa, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling. When he thought back, his mind was filled with weirdness.

Counting from the bloodthirsty red moon, in just three or four days, he completed the three steps from acquaintance to familiarity and finally to friendship. Now he even lives in Sakurajima Mai's house, and has also increased Hayasaka Ai's favorability.

If it was just a simple cooperative relationship, why would the maid be so angry?

It's strange. Even if I were given a favorability system, it would be impossible for me to make so much progress in just a few days. And I always feel like something is wrong.

Why did I meet Mai Sakurajima and Ai Hayasaka in my first dungeon? Why can these two people and I make up for each other's shortcomings? Why did I find a way to hide my identity when I was worried about it?

Also, if it wasn't my hallucination, where did the diary go? Did the person who wrote it block the game's gaze for me?

There were too many mysteries lingering in his mind, but this time Yuki lost interest in tracing the source, and vaguely heard a word "good night" floating from the bedroom.

He moved his lips, letting sleep replace endless speculation.

"Good night, senpai."

Chapter 10: High School

The alley fire did not cause any commotion because there were no casualties and it was not even worthy of being on the news.

Kanagawa is still calm. People go to school as usual, and work as usual, as if nothing has happened.

Of course, Yuki would not go to the on-site investigation just to get bored. He stayed in his apartment for several days in a row, eating instant noodles for breakfast and lunch. He occasionally opened his computer to look up some information, and fell asleep when he felt sleepy. He lived a life that could be described as a salted fish.

He only went out once in a few days, which was to go to a nearby demolition site and pick up a lot of explosives and detonators. He had tasted the sweetness of using them in the port area of ​​Yuki under the red moon, and found that these things were more useful than guns.

Time slowed down as well. He didn't know what other players would do after returning to reality, but he had no interest in cramming. Or rather, he had been cramming for almost ten years, and a few days of cramming had done nothing but make himself nervous.

Because he didn't know when the next copy would come, Yuki didn't dare to run around. What if a random task was triggered and he couldn't travel with them? He was really worried about Mai Sakurajima and Ai Hayasaka completing the copy alone.
