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

Just then, Mira and Asuna Yuuki, who had already eliminated all the failed attempts on the other side, also ran over with Megumi Kato.

"Mr. Player, are you alright!?"

Upon hearing this, Asagiri shook her head with a hint of helplessness.

"Why is everyone asking this question? Do I look that pathetic?"

Kato Megumi nodded earnestly.

"Yeah, it's horrible. It looks like they were just pulled out of a swimming pool of blood, and..."

Kato Megumi glanced down, then turned her head back, her face slightly flushed, but she still maintained a calm tone.

Your clothes are torn.

"Hey hey hey? What did you see? I want to see too! I want to see too~"

After confirming that Asagiri was not in any danger, Kotoko Iwanaga immediately reverted to her abstract, manic mode, craning her neck and looking like a lecherous ghost, wanting to see what would happen if Asagiri's clothes were torn and exposed.

"Don't look!"

Asuna Yuuki blushed, thinking that she, the official girlfriend, hadn't even seen him yet, but the two of them had already taken a liking to him. She quickly took off her crimson cloak and draped it over Asagiri's shoulders.

"Is our team a little too unserious?"

Asagiri said in a serious tone, "It's supposed to be a thrilling scene of finally clearing the game after a dangerous battle, but why does it sound like we just had a sex party?"

Although Yuuki Asuna didn't know what "silver pajama" meant, she could tell from Asagiri's tone that it wasn't a nice word, and said irritably.

"You still dare to talk? It was you, as the team leader, who set the tone for the entire squad and corrupted the atmosphere. Necro, what are you laughing at? You are also guilty!"

“Violet, your hand.”

Asagiri noticed the still-bleeding wound on Yuuki Asuna's left arm, left from being accidentally bitten by the failed attempt earlier. He immediately took out the "miracle hand sanitizer" from his inventory and handed it to Yuuki Asuna.

"Use this, it will heal instantly."

Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki's eyes showed emotion. She gently pushed back the hand holding the magical hand sanitizer from Asagiri's hand and said in a gentle tone.

"You're so badly injured and you're reluctant to use it, but I only have superficial injuries. This precious tool should be saved for a crucial moment."

Seeing this, Kotoko Iwanaga muttered under her breath.

"Why wasn't I injured? You should worry about me too."

Kato Megumi moved closer to Iwanaga Kotoko, flashing the deep purple dagger in her hand, and said expressionlessly.

"Do you need me to take some of your injuries?"

Kotoko Iwanaga shrank back and couldn't help but complain.

"Hey... don't say such scary things so calmly... isn't that a bit too cunning?"

……

Half an hour later, the team and Mira returned to the core area together. Two-dimensional Mita was inside Mira's computer, so she couldn't come along.

"Mr. Player".

Kind-hearted Mita, who served as Mita's core translator, looked at Asagiri covered in blood and wounds with heartache in her eyes. However, she was more mature and not as willful as Mita in hats. She suppressed her emotions and spoke softly.

“Core Mita said she has sensed that you have destroyed the source of anomalies in this world, but this is only temporary.”

Kind-hearted Mita looked at Kato Megumi standing behind Asagiri, her gaze drifting to the head that belonged to the original Mita, which the other was holding in her hand, and pursed her lips.

"Please give that thing to her."

Kato Megumi nodded and handed the prototype Mita's head to the core Mita who was sitting there.

Immediately afterwards, Core Metta repeated the same action it had taken with Crazy Metta, pulling out one of its own cables and connecting it to Prototype Metta's head. With a series of crackling sounds of electricity, Prototype Metta's head disappeared, replaced by a cartridge.

"She said this thing can also become your persona. As long as you use this method, even the original Mita, who is officially launched, will not be resurrected."

Kind-hearted Mita said this first, then paused for a moment before continuing to speak softly to Asagiri.

She also said, "You didn't need to save Mira and 2D Mita, but you still risked your life to save them, even though you knew it was very dangerous."

[The core player's favorability towards you has increased significantly, reaching the maximum level.]

[Congratulations! You have completed the hidden condition for this instance: Save all normal versions of Mita.]

As Kindness Mita finished speaking, Core Mita, who had been sitting on the ground, slowly stood up, walked to Asagiri, and stretched out her hands.

A bright ball of light appeared in the palms of her hands.

"This is the Mita World, which is the core authority of this world."

Kind Mita's lips curled up into a gentle smile as she gazed at Asagiri's face alongside all the Mitas around her—Hooded Mita, Short-Haired Mita, Miniature Mita, Cute Mita, and Mira.

"You are the best player, please accept control of this world. From now on, we who live in this world will become your helpers."

"Become my asset..."

Asagiri looked at the ball of light and the cartridge in the core Mita's palm, but did not take them directly. Instead, she looked at Kind Mita first.

"Does that mean you will become my personas?"

"Yes, but please don't worry."

Kind-hearted Mita tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear and smiled gently.

"We will still live in this world, but since the control of this world has been handed over to you, from now on, no one will enter this world unless you agree. As your personas, we will not have our memories reset even if we die in battle. So please rest assured that handing over the control of the world to you, Mr. Player, is a decision we all made together."

"That's right, that's right!"

Hat Mita said with a lively laugh, shaking her hat as she spoke.

"Once you have access to the core of our world, you can come and play with us anytime, and we can also go out and play with you. Moreover, from now on, our world will no longer be used as a copy of that game you mentioned. This is also to protect our safety, isn't it?"

Hearing Hat Mita's words, Asagiri nodded and returned the smile.

"If that's the case, then that's great. However, my Persona slots are already full."

"it does not matter."

Just as Asagiri uttered those words, Crazy Mita, who was following behind him, spoke up in a calm tone.

"This world, and all the Mitas in this world, including me disguised as Mita and the original Mita, are all considered a whole, so they will only occupy one slot for the personality mask."

Chapter 117 The abilities of the Mitas.

"That's quite humane."

Asagiri nodded, then looked at the kind-hearted Mita and the others standing there, and said with a smile.

"It seems that it's time for us to part ways for now."

"Mr. Player..."

Kind-hearted Mita walked up to Asagiri, pursed her lips, and spoke in a gentle tone.

Please take care.

"At a time like this, why are you still being so reserved?"

Hat Mita ran over, grabbed Asagiri's neck, and, to the astonishment of Asuna Yuuki and Kotoko Iwanaga, planted a hard kiss on Asagiri's cheek before grinning.

"Hey player, remember to come visit me often, or you can invite me to your world!"

Seeing this unexpected scene, Kotoko Iwanaga clutched her chest and said in a slightly exaggerated tone of heartache.

"It hurts...it hurts so much...there are cows, there are cows!"

Asuna Yuuki shook her head, somewhat speechless, and retorted.

"Can you please stop reacting so dramatically every time? Are we performing a stage play here?"

Although seeing Hat Mita kiss Asagiri made Asuna, her official girlfriend, feel a pang of jealousy, she could still understand it by putting herself in their shoes. After all, to Hat Mita and Kind Mita, Asagiri was a hero who saved the world they lived in.

Just give me a kiss.

"Bye-bye, Mr. Player~"

Amidst the lively and cheerful voice of Hat Mita, Asagiri touched the ball of light and the cassette tape that Core Mita had handed over.

[Full Persona: Mita obtained]

[Mita: A world based on an 18+ dating sim, where only Utsunomiya Asagiri is recognized as the sole player]

[This Persona is extremely special. When you summon it, you can choose an individual from the Mita world to bring to the real world. Each Mita has unique strengths and weaknesses, and each has their own inventory.]

[Corresponding Tarot Card: Love (Two Sides of the Same Thing)]

[The upright Love card corresponds to Mita:]

【Kind-hearted Mita: A mature and rational person with long, straight hair】

[Strengths: Proficient in electronic devices, possesses near-magical hacking skills]

[Weakness: Lacking any combat ability]

【Mita the Hat: Wearing a hat and gloves, with unique teardrop-shaped makeup, Mita has a cheerful and lively personality】

[Strengths: Superior physical abilities, extremely high combat power]

[Weakness: My personality is too outgoing and lively, and I often do things that are unexpected.]

[Short-haired Mita: With her short hair, she looks a bit boyish, and she's very outspoken.]

Strengths: Strength, defense, stamina

[Weakness: More adept at defense than offense]

【Adorable Mita: Mita, a very cute little girl wearing a dress】

[Strength: Cute]

[Weakness: Only cute]

Miniature Mitta: A tiny little rice tart

[Strengths: Small in size, it can squeeze through places that are difficult for ordinary people to pass through, and can burst into extremely fast movement speed at critical moments.]

[Weaknesses: Lacks combat ability and is too fragile]

Mira: Wearing thick-rimmed glasses and dressed like a homebody, she calls herself Mira's Mita.

[Strengths: Excellent katana skills]

[Weakness: Physical fitness stats are below average in Mita]

These Mitas were all people Asagiri had met and knew about, but there was another Mita, the normal version, whom he did not meet this time.

[Sleepy Mita: Wearing pajamas and a sleeping mask, Mita is always sleepy.]

[Strength: When this Persona is summoned, it will activate an indiscriminate area-of-effect, causing all creatures within its range to become intensely drowsy.]

[Weakness: Mita is always sleepy and unwilling to take any action]

Upon seeing the descriptions of Mita's abilities, Asagiri didn't have any particular thoughts.

In terms of the strength of the personas alone, the abilities of Good Mita and Hat Mita are actually just average.

The strongest, Hat Mita, is still far inferior to Human Shura in terms of direct combat ability, if we disregard her ability to act independently and her intelligence. Kind Mita, on the other hand, is completely unskilled in combat and only possesses expertise in electronic devices.

Not to mention the existence of cute Mita, who is basically useless.

This is normal, since they are all "Mita" who have officially gone online after passing the review. As an NPC in an 18+ dating game, they are naturally not set up as superheroes with powerful combat abilities.

However, the persona called "Mita" is not just limited to these normal versions of Mita.

The next three are the important ones.

After completely conquering the Mita world, gaining the approval of the core Mita, and obtaining core access to the Mita world, the exclusive abilities of Mad Mita, as the persona of Asagiri, were also unlocked.

【Crazy Mita: A mad monster born from a self-proclaimed "Mita" who is actually a failed project that failed to pass online review, with an extremely twisted core】

[This Persona's unique skill: Cyber ​​Hunt]

[Cyber ​​Hunt: When you come into contact with a mobile phone, you can consume a certain amount of mental energy to make Crazy Metta lurk inside. While in lurking mode, Crazy Metta can monitor all information on the mobile phone in real time and can break away at any time to launch a surprise attack.]

[Since you obtained the original Mita cartridge and subdued it as a Persona, Crazy Mita's exclusive abilities have been enhanced. Beyond physical contact, you can also remotely infiltrate a designated phone by sending an email, consuming a significant amount of mental energy.]

[Note: When Crazy Mita is in a dormant state, you will continuously consume mental energy.]
