A crossover anime/manga story, set in everyday Tokyo, but within a loop of a game.

"It's ready, here you go."

"it is good."

Seeing Asagiri reach out to touch the key, Asuna Yuuki quickly reminded her.

"The newly formed key is very hot..."

Before Asuna Yuuki could finish speaking, she saw Asagiri pick up the key without any sizzling sound of flesh being roasted.

"Huh? Why is that?"

Hearing Asuna Yuuki's question, Asagiri waved the key in her hand and replied with a light laugh.

"Because this is a world based on games. The rules of the game world are very different from those of the real world. In the game, the equipment you create can be worn immediately. There is no need to wait for it to cool down and take shape. That's only natural."

Miniature Mita nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Yes, that's right~"

"What to do next?"

Upon hearing Asagiri's question, Kind Mita walked over, took the key from his hand, and then went to a door next to the long table, opening it with the key.

What appeared before the group was a completely opaque protective shield that shimmered with red light.

"This is it, look..."

Kind-hearted Mita reached out and tried to touch the slightly reddish protective shield, producing a sound like a physical collision.

"I've tried various methods, but none of them work. It seems that only players with higher-level privileges are qualified to access the core area."

Just as Asagiri was about to step forward and touch the protective shield to verify whether Kind Mita's deduction was correct, she was stopped by Yuuki Asuna, who took the lead and gently placed her right index finger on the slightly reddish surface of the shield.

Unexpectedly, Yuuki Asuna, like Kind Mita, was also blocked outside and failed to pass through the protective shield of the faint red light.

"This……"

"I'll do it."

Asagiri walked over and gently placed his right hand on the protective shield. Although his hand could not penetrate the red light, a line of text appeared in mid-air.

Player Utsunomiya Asagiri, you have permission to enter the core area. To avoid interfering with the operation of the core program, please leave all electronic devices behind before proceeding to the core area.

"Oh? Does that mean only I can go in?"

Asagiri nodded noncommittally and said with a smile.

"Could it be... that they want to lure me in, then bring out hundreds of beautiful girls of different types, like Mita, to do some lewd things with me? Oh dear, what should I do? Well, in order for the team to clear the level smoothly, I, as the leader, have no choice but to make a sacrifice."

Asuna Yuuki rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Are you still putting on an act here? Be serious, electronic devices... does that mean you can't bring your phone in? This is troublesome..."

"What's the trouble?"

Asagiri shrugged and handed her phone to Yuuki Asuna.

"give it to you."

Seeing Asagiri's smiling face and her unhesitating entrusting her with the most important thing for players in the dungeon, Yuuki Asuna was very touched. She took the phone and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, I'll protect your phone even if it costs me my life."

"That's unnecessary."

Asagiri reached out and gently stroked Yuuki Asuna's long hair, looking directly into her delicate and lovely face, and whispered.

"To me, your safety is more important than anything else."

Chapter 104 The True Form of Crazy Mita.

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna blushed and became so shy that she could barely speak.

"What are you saying... They're still here, don't say things that make people blush..."

"What's going on? What's going on!?"

Seeing Yuuki Asuna and Asagiri chatting intimately, Kotoko Iwanaga, the number one jealous queen of Shuchiin Academy, the rider of green light, the goddess of wisdom among monsters, and the princess of monsters, rushed over and said angrily.

"What do you mean by this? Doing this right in front of me? No way! I can't take it anymore!"

Seeing Kotoko Iwanaga's agitated state, Asuna Yuuki's heart sank. After all, if this kind of thing wasn't handled properly, it could easily lead to the collapse of the entire team. But before she could say anything, she saw Kotoko Iwanaga run up to Asagiri, stand on tiptoe, and rest her head on Asagiri's chest, rubbing against her like a spoiled kitten.

"No, no, you have to touch me too, it's only fair!"

Upon seeing this, Asuna Yuuki was taken aback for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

Also.

After all, the other party is Kotoko Iwanaga, so it's perfectly normal for her to act a little strange.

Asagiri didn't say much, but simply reached out and gently ruffled Iwanaga Kotoko's blonde hair. Iwanaga Kotoko's lips curled up wildly, and she stretched out her arms as if she wanted to wrap her arms around Asagiri's waist.

"Hey, that's enough."

Asuna Yuuki grabbed Kotoko Iwanaga's wrist and said irritably.

"You little slut, don't go too far."

"Humph."

Kotoko Iwanaga pouted, looking displeased, but still obediently let go of Asagiri.

"Mr. Player, Mr. Player, I want one too! I want one too!"

Hat-wearing Mita ran over, grabbed Asagiri's hand, and pressed it against her cheek, sticking out her little tongue in a cute and enjoyable way.

Immediately afterwards, short-haired Mita and cute Mita also ran over and took turns letting Asagiri rub their hair. When kind-hearted Mita saw this, a hint of longing appeared in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she still went over and pretended to be calm.

"Um... touch me too."

After Asagiri finished touching the beautiful tower, Kotoko Iwanaga and Asuna Yuuki both turned their gazes to Megumi Kato, who was standing there.

Sensing their gazes, Kato Megumi, who had initially appeared aloof and indifferent, paused for a moment and hesitated.

"Huh? Do I have to participate in this part too?"

"of course."

Kotoko Iwanaga ran over and pulled Megumi Kato directly in front of Asagiri, speaking in a serious tone.

“We’re teammates, so we should share the good times and the bad. We can’t be biased. If Asagiri touches us, then we have to touch you.”

Yuuki Asuna, standing to the side, shook her head, looking slightly helpless.

"Although the words are rough, the principle is sound, but what you said was really too rough..."

"Hehe, I haven't even said the more blunt thing yet, you philandering cat."

Seeing Asuna Yuuki and Kotoko Iwanaga bickering again, Megumi Kato's lips curled up slightly. Then she turned to look at Asagiri, pursed her lips, carefully extended her right hand, and said in a soft tone.

"Then, Leader... let's shake hands. Come back safely, we're all waiting for you."

"it is good."

Asagiri gently squeezed Kato Megumi's hand, and then her figure gradually disappeared as if passing through the red protective shield.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

"Why hasn't the Leader come back yet..."

Kotoko Iwanaga sat on the sofa, looking at the kind-hearted Mita pacing back and forth, her brows furrowed, seemingly very worried.

"Are you sure there's no danger in the core area? Could something have happened?"

"This……"

Seeing that Asagiri hadn't returned for so long, Kind-hearted Mita was also a little unsure and hesitated.

"I've never been inside either, but theoretically there shouldn't be any danger. The only danger in this world is that crazy guy..."

Just as kind-hearted Mita was speaking, the screen of Asagiri's phone on the table suddenly lit up, and a girl's voice with a crazy laugh came from the receiver.

"Are you talking about me, you crazy guy?"

The next second, a hand emerged from Asagiri's phone screen, and out of it emerged a girl with pigtails.

Asuna Yuuki reacted quickly. The moment the other party appeared, she had already retrieved Asagiri's phone with her left hand, while her right hand thrust the exorcist's sword into the other party's body.

"clang!"

The twin-tailed girl reacted quickly, pulling out a chainsaw from somewhere and blocking Asuna Yuuki's sword strike before retreating a short distance.

"You...you are..."

When kind-hearted Mita saw the twin-tailed girl's face, which was almost exactly the same as her own, and the upturned corners of her lips that revealed a crazy and cruel smile, her pupils dilated in shock.

"That's right, it's me!"

Looking at the crazy Mita standing there, kind-hearted Mita first glanced at the phone Yuuki Asuna was holding, and then said incredulously.

"You...so you've been hiding inside Mr. Player's phone all along!?"

"You reacted very quickly!"

Crazy Mita wore a cruel smile, raised her chin, looked at the four Mitas standing there, as well as Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, and Iwanaga Kotoko, deliberately pretended to feel very sorry for them, shook her head and sighed.

"It's a pity that the strongest player can no longer come out."

Although kind-hearted Mita had vaguely guessed the truth, she still refused to believe it and shook her head in denial.

"No... as long as Mr. Player reaches the core area, you can be eliminated directly..."

"Even now, you still think that's the road to the core area? Haha, how foolish and naive you are."

Crazy Mita laughed heartily and slowly began to speak.

"What road to the core area? That's just a bugged area I created. You don't really think you're that lucky to have actually found a route to the core area, do you?"

"However, your performance did not disappoint me. It was worth it for me to deliberately lock you in the dungeon and lead you, Mr. Player, down the path to death."

At this point, Crazy Mita paused, her smile widening as she looked directly into Kind Mita's face and asked softly.

"So? Now that you know you led your beloved player, Mr. Mita, to his doom, and that you killed him with your own hands, what are your thoughts? I'm so curious!"

"I...I killed the players..."

Kind-hearted Mita's eyes showed disbelief, while the cute Mita, short-haired Mita, and hat-wearing Mita beside her all looked desperate and heartbroken, completely unable to accept the fact that the player was dead.

"But it's a real shame."

Crazy Mita turned her gaze to the short-haired Mita standing there and shook her head with slight disappointment.

"I originally thought that the player and his companion would kill you right after falling into my trap. If that happened, it would be so much fun for me to reveal the truth then!"

Just then, Kotoko Iwanaga suddenly spoke up, interrupting in a calm tone.

"You've been hiding in his phone the whole time, but you only came out now because you were scared of him, right?"

Crazy Mita's smile froze upon hearing this, and then her expression turned cold.

"Heh, although I hate to admit it, it's true. After I hacked into his phone, I saw his profile as a 'player'—not a player in this game world, but a player in your game. I really wasn't confident I could beat him, but..."

Crazy Mita stared directly at Kotoko Iwanaga, who was standing there, a maniacal smile appearing on her cute and delicate face.

"He's dead. Now it's your turn. Once I kill you all and get your phones, I can inherit your items and equipment. Most importantly, I will no longer be a prisoner trapped in this virtual world with these boring programs. I... will become a player!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki frowned slightly, looked directly into Crazy Mita's eyes, and slowly spoke.

"If I remember correctly, we didn't discuss this hidden rule in the instance, and there's no record of it on his phone. How did you know?"

"Hehe, are you curious?"

Crazy Mita's smile was almost manic. Instead of answering Asuna Yuuki's question, he pressed the button on the chainsaw in his hand, and a mechanical buzzing sound immediately rang out.

"I'm not going to answer you. Just go and die!"

Immediately afterward, Mad Meta rushed over with a chainsaw. As her crazed face gradually magnified in her vision, Kind Meta couldn't help but show despair.

Just then, a calm voice rang out.
