Asuna felt a little strange, but she didn't care. After saying goodbye to Yuuki, she slowly recited:
[The world rejected me...]
With a flash of starlight, Asuna's spirit disintegrated and disappeared.
……
Yuuki House.
Asuna woke up from her dream and turned off the alarm before it rang.
She yawned...
"Well, if nothing else, the food was delicious and the sleep quality was great. Time to show off to Deep Orange."
Asuna happily jumped off the bed, and with a clang, a crescent-shaped finger bone pendant fell to the ground.
"This is..." Asuna was shocked when she realized that it was the souvenir that Yuuki said she would give her.
but……
"My room was clearly locked, how did she get it in so quickly?"
She immediately ran downstairs in her slippers. At the table, her brother was drinking coffee from a cup.
"Brother, did anyone come into my room this morning?"
"No." Koichiro Yuki put down the cup and said lightly.
"Then why... Eh? Where's mom?" Asuna noticed something strange. Normally, her mother would be waiting at the dining table at this time and was never absent.
Koichiro glanced at Asuna in confusion: "Mother always has meetings until very late before the weekend, so she won't be back so soon."
"weekend?"
Asuna turned to watch the news on TV.
[Reported on July 2022, 7, another home invasion murder occurred in Beihua Town. The criminals robbed with guns, resulting in the death of 28 people. Inform Beihua Town residents to keep doors and windows closed and do not open the door to strangers. 】
"July 7th, wasn't it just April yesterday?"
Asuna covered her face, feeling that everything was becoming unreal.
"Sorry, brother, I may not be fully awake yet. I'll go back and take a nap..."
Koichiro reminded, "You have to come down before mom comes back. Even if it's the weekend, don't go against mom's rules."
"I, I know..."
Asuna felt a little breathless, so she went back to her room and lay on the bed...
The phone beeped, and a reminder to join the group came out.
Asuna opened the group chat curiously.
The first message is:
"Welcome everyone, witness the real world!"
……
After understanding the nature of the so-called game, Asuna took a deep breath and heard her brother's urging and her mother's stern reprimand.
She took out the crescent moon pendant and placed it in front of her eyes. She recalled this home that was like a cage that bound her:
"A real other world?"
She placed the pendant on her chest:
"Freed from all cages...?"
Chapter 277 Asuna: Rebellious period?
"Free yourself from all cages..."
Asuna murmured her own chant subconsciously, or perhaps just subconsciously, a spiritual force was summoned, and magic power turned into emerald green starlight and poured onto the girl.
"Huh? Ehhhhhhh~~~~"
Asuna suddenly sat up in bed, rubbing her body in disbelief.
"Magic?"
The attribute added by this treatment seemed to be an increase in strength. Asuna made a slight sound when she exerted her strength...
"ah."
Outside the door, the mother, who was about to knock on the door, suddenly stopped moving. She didn't know whether she should speak or not. Perhaps her daughter had reached the age of growing up, but after hearing the sounds of "ah", "hiss", and "pain" coming from the room, she went downstairs with a dark face.
Seven-thirty.
Asuna rubbed her sore arm and went downstairs. Her mother dropped the cup heavily.
The sound of glass colliding made Asuna shudder.
"Mother……"
"Don't call me mom." Yuuki Kyoko's eyes were filled with anger. "I should have told you to come down before 7:10 in the morning."
"And..." Kyoko Yuki didn't know whether she should speak or not. Her daughter probably didn't want to be discovered doing that kind of thing.
Obviously my mother was not at home this morning...
"I'm sorry, Mom. I feel a little unwell today." Asuna's eyes dimmed and she apologized out of habit.
"Hmph, forget it, sit down and eat."
A family that practices elite education would naturally not leave Asuna alone to eat.
Yuki Koichiro closed one eye and said, "We've made everyone wait for you for 20 minutes. I won't stand by your side this time."
"Hmph~" Asuna turned her head. He was now a noble therapist. He was not worth being afraid of as just a brother!
After breakfast, my brother and father went to the company. My mother is a senior teacher, so it’s natural for her to stay up late to work on weekends.
She sat on the sofa in the living room, her brows furrowed in a grim frown, and she reached out and rubbed her neck.
"hiss……"
Do you have a stiff neck?
In the midst of pain, she felt a pair of soft hands falling on her shoulders.
"Mom, let me rub it for you."
Yuuki Kyoko subconsciously wanted to refute: "You should prepare to take piano lessons now..."
But before he could finish his words, a gentle force began to spread as Asuna kneaded him.
The thought of forcing her daughter to study disappeared in an instant: "Humph, it doesn't matter if she delays for a few minutes."
Asuna squinted her eyes, quietly activated the magic, and all the fatigue and strain of the night were restored.
Under Asuna's massage, Kyoko Yuki's eyelids drooped and she fell asleep on the sofa.
Asuna stuck out her tongue. "Oops, whoever wants to go to piano class can go."
She walked back to the room in her pink slippers and immediately put on her helmet.
"Link start!"
As the spell was chanted, starlight appeared before her eyes, and she once again entered that strange world full of Western fantasy style.
Orario, 8pm.
The streets were brightly lit, and adventurers were walking in and out of taverns in groups of three or five, or using today's earnings to go to Pleasure Street to find familiar prostitutes to vent their desires or find solace in their hearts.
Asuna left the Stardust Mansion alone and strolled through the streets full of the style of an alternate world.
She was like a fledgling that had escaped from a cage, interested in everything.
She came to a tavern, the name sign above the shop was [Feng Yanting], Asuna wanted to taste the wine. The obedient young lady who had been oppressed by her mother for many years finally had an environment where she could rebel.
"It's just a game, so underage drinking shouldn't be a problem. I'll just drink a little..."
But she felt her pocket and found only three copper coins worth ten faris.
Compared to other adventurers, her income today was not small, but the 'Legendary Fried Potato Balls' drained her wallet.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the dungeon.
"Yuuki is not here... I will just kill a few goblins and collect enough money to buy some wine."
Asuna thought so and came to the entrance of the dungeon.
Before she entered, a female voice called her at the door:
"Human lady over there, if you are a newcomer, it is better not to enter the dungeon at night."
Asuna turned around and saw an elf girl with her hair tied into a bun but her long hair was loose underneath.
Her hair is pure white, her eyes are the color of violet, and her black and red combat uniform matches her cold expression. The two complement each other, making it difficult for Asuna to guess her personality.
"Well... I'm just going down to kill a few goblins and then I'll be back."
"Are you short of money?" The elf girl took two steps forward and frowned slightly: "Don't underestimate the dungeon. If you don't have money to eat, I can lend you some first."
Asuna waved her hands in a panic: "No, no, it'll be quick. I'll be back in 20 minutes. Thank you so much."
The elf looked at Asuna turning around, his pretty eyebrows lowered.
She still looked at Asuna with concern, bit her lip, and followed.
"Really? I don't know which clan you are from, but the dungeon at night is not something a newbie can handle. The monsters will become bloodthirsty due to hunger, and the lighting in the cave is not as good as during the day."
Asuna didn't know what to say. This elf looked cold, but he seemed to be a surprisingly good person.
Before Asuna could continue speaking.
The elf girl said to herself, "Isn't it 20 minutes? I'll go with you. I'll come back when I earn enough money for dinner, right?"
"Uh... okay, thank you for your help." Asuna smiled.
The elf looks a bit like his friend Usagi Fukasawa, with a cold exterior and high self-esteem, but is surprisingly good at taking care of others.
The two came to the second floor. In the dungeon at night, the efficiency of hatching monsters was faster. Some monsters that were born in the morning and were missed by adventurers by luck also became aggressive because of hunger.
Asuna carefully recalled the techniques Yuuki had taught her that morning, observed, and then drew her sword.
When the goblin wanted to jump up and punch the man in the chest, the long sword pierced the goblin's throat. One, two, three...
After killing three goblins, Asuna squatted down to collect magic stones...
"Well……"
Yuuki had helped me collect the magic stones in the morning, but now that I was doing it myself, I seemed to have trouble finding the right position.
"Here!" The elf girl pointed her sword at the goblin's chest. She raised the sword again and again, and a magic stone fragment the size of a fingernail was held in her hand.
"Well...um, thank you." Asuna blushed and took the fragment and put it in her pocket.
"My name is Aura, the deputy leader of the Dionysus Familia."
"I, my name is Asuna... I just became an adventurer today, and I belong to the Astria family."
"Asteria's family? They shouldn't let you enter the dungeon alone at night."
Asuna scratched her face in embarrassment. "Because I just wanted to buy something, but I was short of money, so I thought I'd just kill a few monsters by myself and go back."
Aoladai frowned slightly: "Too reckless."
"I know." Asuna stood up, curiously looked at the elf with her arms folded and scolded herself, and asked:
"Why does Miss Aura take care of me so much?"
A trace of pain flashed in Aura's purple eyes:
"Because of a certain asshole leader, I..."
It was the leader's bad luck that caused the group to be wiped out! I was also lucky because I didn't participate in the expedition last time, so I escaped. Since then, I will never underestimate the dungeon again. I can't bear to see newcomers die.
Do you know how many new members of the clan have been killed by the bad luck of that leader?
Aura sighed deeply and continued, "I... I just don't want to see newcomers die so easily."
