Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Asada Shino kept repeating the same sentence.

At that moment, Shinkawa Kyoji suddenly grasped her slender, delicate, boneless hand, catching Asada Shino completely off guard. She let Shinkawa Kyoji hold her hand, only reacting slightly after a moment of surprise.

"Asada-kun, I'm really worried about you. I'm worried that what happened will affect you... I know it hurt you a lot... Okay, let's not talk about the past. The most important thing right now is the finals. If there's anything I can do for you, I'll do everything I can to help you."

A strange smile appeared on Shinkawa Kyoji's face. The smile was devoid of any warmth, but rather carried a deep sense of possessiveness.

The burning gaze in her eyes filled Asada Shino with a deep sense of disgust.

This feeling of disgust instantly enveloped the depths of his heart.

however--

For all this time, Shinkawa Kyoji has been Asada Shino's only friend.

That's why he seems so hesitant now.

His gaze and movements as he typed became increasingly strange, and he gripped Asada Shino's hand tightly.

His eyes were also fixed on Asada Shino.

"Asada-kun... I've always admired you. Your performance in the game and your skill have impressed me greatly... And in real life, you're also a strong person, even stronger than me. When faced with those who bullied you, you didn't run away but bravely confronted them... Actually, I've always... always..."

The intense look in Shinkawa Kyoji's eyes at that moment even instilled a sense of fear in Asada Shino.

but--

Asada Shino wanted to leave but couldn't get up from the swing.

"You know, I'm not mentally strong, and I've always been troubled by the past..."

Asada Shino did not continue speaking.

Although I seem to have become more powerful in GGO recently, I still can't face it in real life.

"No, you have a strong heart, and in my eyes you are the strongest gunslinger. You are the strongest in GGO. I believe that even that person cannot defeat you, and you will eventually defeat him."

Kyoji Shinkawa's tone was even somewhat agitated.

His voice grew increasingly agitated.

They even took another step forward.

Kyoji Shinkawa's relentless pressure caused Shino Asada to feel intensely uncomfortable.

"Asada-san..."

Kyoji Shinkawa leaned down to look at Shino Asada, their eyes meeting. Shino Asada noticed something unusual in Shinkawa's eyes. That ghostly voice echoed in her ears, while Shinkawa stared greedily at Shino Asada, his gaze growing increasingly unnatural.

This secluded little park, already deserted, now appears even more desolate.

It was getting later and later.

Only on a street not far away, a few passersby occasionally walked by...

"No, they won't meddle." Even if someone witnessed this scene, they would mistake it for a quarrel between a young couple.

Asada Shino was startled just now, but she has only just realized what was happening and shoved Shinkawa Kyoji away forcefully.

Kyoji Shinkawa looked at Shino Asada with a confused expression.

"Asada-kun... I've always truly cherished our connection with you... You're definitely the one destined for me. So... I'm sincere..."

"Stop talking!"

Asada Shino said with some apprehension.

She staggered to her feet from the swing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't want to scare you, I really didn't mean to, I was just a little..."

Goodbye, I'm leaving now.

Asada Shino quickly left the small park; she hadn't expected Shinkawa Kyoji to do such a thing to her.

There's still some time before the match.

However, Shino Asada had no appetite at all.

Asada Shino returned home and locked the door, glancing once more at the clock on the wall.

She then changed into her casual clothes from home.

With everything in the room ready and the temperature just right, she simply poured some water to moisten her parched throat.

The icy water slid down my throat and into my stomach.

One last check was made to ensure all doors and windows were locked; everything was now ready.

Take the equipment and turn off all the lights.

Asada Shino harbored a strong emotion: she was determined to defeat him—Lin Yan.

Asada Shino slowly closed her eyes, and then said in a firm tone.

“linkstart”.

Then all the sensations gradually disappeared.

After adjusting her five senses in her virtual body, Shino Asada slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was a completely different scene.

The neon lights of "Bullet of Bullets 3" flashed continuously, and the towering buildings were also shimmering with light.

Asada Shino walks on the main road.

This avenue runs through the center of the city of Gorloch.

This area is usually deserted, but now it's bustling with people, more lively than ever before. Actually, it's lottery sales time, so this is GGO's largest trading market in operation.

Asada Shino arrived next to the NPC, and Lin Yan's odds were very high, the highest.

Asada Shino was also in the front row.

It's clear that Shino Asada is quite famous in this world, which explains her high odds.

If she were to place a bet, she would definitely choose Lin Yan.

No reason.

Perhaps this goes against her desire to defeat Lin Yan, but perhaps deep down she admires Lin Yan.

At the same time, Lin Yan attracted a lot of attention.

The attention and whispers were intense, but Lin Yan paid no attention; he didn't care about such a scene.

Lin Yan also saw Asada Shino.

“Poetic.”

Lin Yan called out to the petite figure not far away, and Asada Shino turned around and saw Lin Yan, revealing a faint but gentle smile.

“Poetic.”

Then someone else called out Asada Shino's name.

It was a familiar voice.

Asada Shino was never a sociable person to begin with, and since that incident, she has avoided everyone even more, as if she had built a wall around her heart. Outside the wall is the world, and inside the wall is her world.

To this day, no one has been able to enter her heart.

This person was the only one she could talk to in GGO. This person was dressed in urban camouflage and had a slender build. This was Shinkawa Kyoji's virtual form.

His ID in GGO is Spegel.

When Spegel saw Asada Shino, a blush appeared on her face, but Asada Shino didn't seem to notice this detail. Lin Yan heard someone call Asada Shino and looked away, but upon glancing in this direction, he noticed Spegel's unusual behavior.

"What a despicable scoundrel."

Lin Yan, who was intimately familiar with the Sword Art Online storyline, naturally recognized Spegel, also known as Shinkawa Kyoji. Beneath that seemingly gentle exterior lay the heart of a ruthless wolf. He was not only vicious but also psychologically twisted.

Calling it perverted wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Kyoji Shinkawa idolized his older brother, the mastermind behind the "Death Gun" incident, from a young age. After meeting Shino Asada, he became deeply infatuated with her. He even went so far as to break into her house with malicious intent. All these actions demonstrate that his mind is severely damaged.

Evil thoughts eroded his heart like poison.

"Shi Nong, why are you only arriving now?"

Under these circumstances, no one would consider Shinkawa Kyoji to be a complete pervert.

That's why people say you can't judge a book by its cover.

Not all bad people are ugly, nor are all people with physical defects bad. It depends on the individual.

"Shi Nong, is something on your mind?"

"fine."

"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright. If anything happens, please tell me. I'll always be there for you... I'll always support you..."

Kyoji Shinkawa even smiled somewhat shyly.

Lin Yan, however, did not take it to heart.

No matter how well someone disguises themselves, there will always come a time when their true colors are revealed, and then all the masks of pretense will be torn off.

Are you confident about the final match?

"confidence?"

Asada Shino shook her head, somewhat bewildered. The truth was, what Asada Shino had always lacked most was self-confidence. Although she was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, she had never truly possessed self-confidence; deep down, she harbored inferiority complexes.

"Shi Nong, you are actually very capable, and you will definitely win in the end."

Asada Shino still remembers it clearly.

Has Shinkawa Kyoji forgotten everything that happened that day? Or was he just momentarily overwhelmed by emotion? Never mind, I'd rather not think about it anymore.

"Thank you."

"Actually, I've been paying close attention to the live broadcasts of the matches... especially yours, I haven't missed a single frame..."

Spegail suddenly glanced around a few times, then grabbed Asada Shino's arm and led her to an inconspicuous corner. And Spegail's expression was... very strange.

For a moment, Spegel's expression gave Asada Shino a feeling of dislike and disgust, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

"Asada-san."

This statement came out.

Asada Shino was somewhat displeased.

The fact that one cannot reveal information about the real world in the virtual world intensified Asada Shino's displeasure once again.

"what are you up to?"

"I just want to tell you that you'll be waiting."

Sberger's tone was even somewhat hurried, and his eyes were exactly the same as they had been back then, so much so that Asada Shino found them repulsive.

She shook off Spegeer's hand.

He took a step back.

However, there was a wall behind him.

After Asada Shino shook off his hand, Spegel did not back down. Instead, he took another step forward, his expression eager.

"Actually... I really like it... I really like it..."

"Sorry, I have other things to do."

Asada Shino frowned. Why bring this up again? Wasn't Spegel joking last time too? She had never considered these things, much less regarded that familiar yet unfamiliar boy as a romantic partner.
