In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game Chapter 013

Curiosity was one thing, but Yuuki Asuna didn’t ask too many questions. Although she and Asagiri had cleared a dungeon together once, they had only just met today. It wouldn’t be appropriate to pry into his privacy.

“Then… shall we go in together?”

“Okay, let’s go in together.”

Asagiri didn’t refuse at all and directly followed Yuuki Asuna into Shuchiin Academy. At the same time, he took a deep breath and exclaimed with emotion.

“This refreshing and intoxicating scent, it really is the smell of youth that permeates the air when high school students start school in early spring… Oh no, it seems to be coming from you.”

Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna, who was hesitating about how to start discussing serious matters with Asagiri, was caught off guard and subconsciously let out a questioning sound.

“Huh?”

Then, she finally understood the meaning of his words, and a blush instantly appeared on her fair cheeks, but she still tried to maintain a calm demeanor.

“I… after that, I took a shower. Didn’t you?”

“Yuuki-san.”

Asagiri glanced around, then said lightly.

“Your voice is too loud, and what you said is too easily misunderstood.”

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna realized that the surrounding students all had very shocked expressions after she had just said that sentence.

She immediately realized that what she had just said did sound a bit inappropriate.

After that, taking a shower, and the key point was that in order to cover up her embarrassment, she subconsciously asked Asagiri, “Didn’t you take a shower?”

This made it sound like the two of them had done something… that required a shower…

“Well… let’s walk a little faster.”

Yuuki Asuna’s pretty face turned crimson, and she said this softly with her head down, then quickened her pace, walking with Asagiri towards the Shuchiin school building.

Along the way, the two of them had no chance to talk about the dungeon, as there were simply too many students around.

Yuuki Asuna and Asagiri both knew very well that their identity as “Players” must never be exposed.

“Let’s talk about it at lunchtime.”

Hearing Asagiri’s words, Yuuki Asuna nodded, then walked into the Classroom 1-B.

Asagiri’s Classroom 1-A was right next door. He walked in openly, ignoring the curious gazes of the students already in the classroom, and walked directly to the window seat in the innermost corner of the classroom, commonly known as the King’s Throne, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The attention on him didn’t last too long. After a few minutes, a slightly noisy commotion suddenly came from the corridor outside the classroom, and then, it completely quieted down.

In the midst of silence, a beautiful girl wearing the Shuchiin Academy uniform, black calf-length socks, exquisite leather shoes, with long black straight hair, a beautiful face, and a slender figure, slowly walked into Classroom A.

All the students in the classroom subconsciously looked at that girl, but after clearly seeing her face, they immediately looked away, feeling both curious and wanting to avoid her.

Noticing the reactions of these classmates, Shinomiya Kaguya’s expression and eyes remained unchanged, as if she had long expected this situation.

It had been like this since she was little.

As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, she was like an exquisite but chilling Japanese doll, making those around her unconsciously keep their distance.

Shuchiin Academy has a middle school division, and Shinomiya Kaguya had ascended from its middle school. She just roughly scanned the room and found that almost all the faces in this classroom were familiar, and some of them were even in the same class as her in middle school.

But… no one came up to greet her.

Everyone’s gaze avoided her.

Just like in middle school…

“Hmm?”

Just as Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking this, she noticed a boy sitting in the corner of the classroom staring at her. Unlike the other students, his gaze was completely undisguised, and even when she looked at him and met his eyes, he didn’t avoid her gaze like ordinary people.

She had no impression of this very handsome boy, which meant he wasn’t from Shuchiin Middle School.

Could it be…

He didn’t recognize her?

Shinomiya Kaguya thought this to herself, but on the surface, she maintained the etiquette of the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, giving a slight nod to Asagiri sitting there. There was no shyness or awkwardness of an ordinary girl, only the graceful demeanor that the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family should exhibit.

However, that was all.

As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya could not possibly take the initiative to greet a boy on the first day of school.

Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya sit down in the center of the classroom, Asagiri turned his head to look out the window, with only one thing on his mind.

Is Shinomiya Kaguya a Player?

He had to consider this question, partly because Shinomiya Kaguya’s various ability settings were simply too outrageous, such as her genius mind, the psychological suggestion of forced calm thinking, and her national championship-level archery and kendo skills. Compared to most characters in slice-of-life anime, she was practically a superhuman.

And the more important reason…

Shinomiya Kaguya was in the same class as him.

If the other party was also a Player, then he had to be extremely cautious.

After obtaining Noguchi and Kawa’s phones in the dungeon and learning that ordinary people could register as new Players by clicking on an icon, Asagiri had actually considered whether to pull Shinomiya Kaguya into being a Player. After all, with Shinomiya Kaguya’s abilities, she would definitely be an excellent helper.

However, this thought was dismissed as soon as it emerged.

Have Shinomiya Kaguya be a helper?

This was simply unrealistic.

The current Shinomiya Kaguya was in her so-called “Ice Kaguya” period, filled with cold thoughts of imperial studies, skilled at using others, and possessing a pride so strong it bordered on obsession as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family. Asagiri simply couldn’t believe that she would obediently act as his helper after becoming a Player.

Besides, he couldn’t so easily reveal his Player identity to someone he had no trust foundation with, someone he didn’t even know.

So, would Shinomiya Kaguya, like him and Yuuki Asuna, already be a chosen Player?

Asagiri wasn’t sure, after all, he remembered…

Shinomiya Kaguya… didn’t have her own smartphone.
