In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

"See for yourself."

Kotoko Iwanaga handed the phone to Asuna Yuuki and Megumi Kato, and after reading the email, Asuna Yuuki's expression became very interesting, as if she didn't know how to comment.

[Hello~ Utsunomiya-san, I’m Fujiwara Chika~]

[After exchanging email addresses, you haven't sent me a single email~ That's so sad~]

"Are you free this Saturday? I'd like to discuss the upcoming election with you. Kaguya's personal situation means she can't go out on weekends, so it's just the two of us~"

[No one is home on Saturday. Can you come to my house to talk? I look forward to your reply~]

"this..."

When Yuuki Asuna didn't know how to comment and didn't know what to say for a moment, Kato Megumi next to her spoke bluntly.

"This Fujiwara Chika-san is trying to seduce Utsunomiya-san, right? The fact that the two of them are alone at home makes this very clear."

"This... Qianhua actually..."

Yuuki Asuna's emotions were very complicated at the moment. After all, Fujiwara Chika was her good friend. She had never expected that Fujiwara Chika would actually do such a thing. Knowing that Asagiri was her boyfriend, she made such an invitation to Asagiri... This invitation was obviously a temptation. It was too much...

Is it really like Qianhua once said... love is war?

Seeing the reactions of Yuuki Asuna and others, Asagiri smiled and spoke.

"What are you all thinking about? Do you really think I'm a succubus?"

"Ok?"

When Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko heard this, they both looked as if it was a matter of course and asked back.

"Is not it?"

"Come on, stop talking nonsense. That's Fujiwara Chika. You don't really think she's a naive person, do you?"

Asagiri said this first, and then said in a calm tone.

"Fujiwara Chika should already be suspecting that we are players."

"I mean... she's testing us? Oh, and Saturday is the time to enter the dungeon..."

Yuuki Asuna frowned, puzzled.

"But why would Qianhua do this? Will she and Shinomiya-san enter the dungeon on Saturday? If not, then it's fine. But if they also want to enter the dungeon, then why would they invite you? Is it to test you?"

"Probing? Maybe, but the greater possibility is..."

Asagiri smiled and replied, "She thinks it's fun to do this."

"Fun..."

Asuna Yuuki pursed her lips and thought carefully, thinking that based on Chika's eccentric personality, it was very possible that this was the case.

Then she raised her head and looked at Asagiri.

"So how are you going to respond?"

“The simplest reply is the best reply.”

Asagiri took back her phone and gave a brief reply to Fujiwara Chika.

On the other side, Fujiwara Chika, who was sitting on the bed with her legs hugged and humming a song, heard the notification tone from her mobile phone. She immediately picked up the phone with a smile on her face, slid it open, and muttered to herself with interest.

"Utsunomiya-san, how will you respond to me? I'm really looking forward to it... uh..."

When Fujiwara Chika opened the email, all she saw were two big, bright words.

【Utsunomiya Asagiri: No Go】

"Oh? Such a tough and brief reply? As expected of Utsunomiya-san, but I won't let this go~"

There was a strong competitive spirit in Fujiwara Chika's eyes. She edited another long email, added a few cute emoticons, and then clicked the send button.

result...

[Sending failed, you have been blocked by the other party]

Seeing this hint, the smile on Fujiwara Chika's face froze instantly.

"Utsunomiya-san..."

"You blocked me?"

At this time, Asagiri on the other side, after completing the smooth operation from rejection to blocking, put down his mobile phone, looked at Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi in front of him, and spoke with a chuckle.

"Gambling? Anyone who wants to gamble with her will be blocked immediately."


.............

Two days later, Saturday, at two o'clock in the morning.

[“Player” Utsunomiya Asagiri, now entering the dungeon.]

[This instance is located in: ? ? World]

[The time limit for this copy is: no time limit]

The goal of this "Player" mission is to obtain the experimental data stored at the Institute. Once any player achieves this goal, all remaining players will be considered to have successfully completed the game.

[Tip: Please keep a low profile]

After the thick red fog dissipated, Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi, who had already changed into combat equipment and were holding weapons, regained their vision.

But the scene that appeared before the four people was unexpected.

"A girl with a sword and a cloak? What is that, cosplay?"

"What anime character is that wearing a black windbreaker, a gray mask, and chains wrapped around his forearms? He looks so handsome."

"So what is it, the mysterious daughter attending a masquerade ball? She's quite gorgeous, but a little short."

"What a strange three people..."

Looking at the endless stream of people in front of her and noticing the occasional curious glances from people, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but be stunned.

She looked around and found that the place where she and others were now seemed to be a crossroads in the city. The pedestrians coming and going were all normal, and it looked no different from Tokyo.

"This... is the copy?"

Chapter 24: 023 Super Large Instance Opening

"Where on earth is this..."

Kotoko Iwanaga looked at the scene in front of her and immediately took out her mobile phone to confirm that there was no signal on the phone, just like when she entered the copy every time. This was enough to prove that this was indeed a different world in the copy.

But...

Why is the location of this copy so normal?

The three women had anticipated countless situations they would encounter after entering the dungeon, but they had never imagined that the location of this dungeon would be a bustling city that looked no different from Tokyo in the real world, with tall buildings and a constant stream of people.

Being too normal is abnormal.

While Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi were still in a daze, Asagiri had already taken off his gray mask, walked up to a young woman in a suit who was passing by, stopped her, and said with a smile in his voice.

"Hello, my phone is out of battery. Can I borrow yours to make a call?"

"Huh? I'm in a hurry to go to work, don't delay me..."

The white-collar woman raised her head with an impatient look on her face, but when she saw Asagiri's handsome face with a smile, a blush appeared on her face, and her attitude became completely different from before, even seeming a little embarrassed.

"Oh, okay, here you go."

"Thank you."

Asagiri took the phone from the woman, dialed a random number, and then put the receiver to his ear. After nearly ten seconds, he returned the phone to the young white-collar worker and said with a smile.

"I can't get through, but thank you anyway."

"You are welcome."

The white-collar woman nodded, then asked with a slightly blushing face.

"You look like a college student? Can we...exchange contact information?"

"Goodbye."

Asagiri naturally couldn't exchange any contact information with the other party, so she just turned around and walked in front of Yuuki Asuna and others and whispered.

"Let's find a quiet place first and then discuss it."

..........

Five minutes later, in a quiet alley.

"Come out, Mitta."

As Asagiri crushed the tarot cards, Crazy Mita appeared in front of everyone.

"I've just hacked into that person's phone and have pretty much figured out what's going on in this world."

Although the cell phones of the four team members cannot be used in this world, Crazy Mita can hack into the cell phones of those people in this world, and use their cell phones to obtain some basic information about this world. Of course, it is limited to public news that can be searched on the Internet.

"This is Tokyo."

"what?"

Yuuki Asuna was a little surprised when she heard this, but she felt it was reasonable and murmured to herself.

"No wonder I had a sense of déjà vu walking all the way here... Come to think of it... Isn't this area the Ginza business district?"

"Although this is Tokyo, it's not the Tokyo of your world. Of course, the basic structure is similar. From the information I've obtained, this world differs from yours in only one way."

Crazy Mita looked at the four members of the team in front of him and spoke slowly.

"In this world, there exists a kind of creature called... 'demihumans'."

"Demi-humans?"

"Correct."

Crazy Mita nodded first, and then continued to explain.

"The body structure of demihumans is identical to that of humans. No matter what kind of testing method is used, it is impossible to accurately distinguish demihumans. Even demihumans themselves may not know that they are demihumans. The only way to distinguish demihumans from ordinary humans, and also the only special thing about demihumans, is..."

"After death, the demihumans will be resurrected."

Hearing the word "resurrection", even the usually calm Kato Megumi couldn't help but show shock in her eyes.

"You mean... demihumans can't die?"

"No, death will still happen."

Crazy Mita paused for a moment, letting the four members of the team in front of him digest this shocking news, and then slowly spoke.

"Demihumans grow and age normally, and can also be injured. In these respects, they are no different from humans. However, their abilities are only activated at the moment of true death. After death, demihumans will be resurrected, and their bodies will be restored to a healthy and complete state."

"In this world, demihumans are not considered human, and they don't have human rights. Demihumans, whose body structures are identical to humans but who can be resurrected, are very valuable creatures, such as those used in clinical medical research."

"So, once officially confirmed as a demihuman, you will be hunted and wanted. There's absolutely no place to survive. This is what I understand to be unique about this world at this stage."

After listening to Crazy Mita's report, a terrible guess emerged in Yuuki Asuna's mind.

"Could it be that the research institute mentioned in the dungeon's clearance objective is the one where the demihumans are imprisoned? The data we need to obtain is experimental data on demihumans? Isn't this too difficult..."

Not only Yuuki Asuna, but also Kato Megumi and Iwanaga Kotoko had the same idea.

The difficulty of clearing this dungeon is really ridiculously high.

First of all, we need to find the location of the research institute. If you think about it, you will know that the location of this research institute that studies sub-humans must be a secret among secrets. Players who come to this world do not even have a legal identity. It is almost impossible to find out such top-secret information.

Even if the location of the research institute is found, the official institutions of this world will definitely deploy defense forces in such an important place, which means...

If players want to break into the research institute, they will have to face armed guards and even elite mobile forces.

The monsters, special infected people, crazy Mita, and other enemies that the team has encountered in the dungeon so far are indeed scary, but compared to the mobile forces armed with guns, these are not real dangers.

Which player could withstand a bullet head-on? Even Asagiri, who was currently in the game, would likely die if hit in the vitals, not to mention most players who were far less powerful than him.

How to pass this level?

"Calm down."

Just when Asuna Yuuki and Kotoko Iwanaga felt helpless and even a little desperate, they suddenly felt a warm touch in their palms.

Asagiri held both of their hands, her face still wearing her usual relaxed smile.
