In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Awakening, then a Romantic Comedy.

“Let me go first.”

Asuna Yuuki opened the eye-icon app on her phone, then placed the phone on the coffee table in front of her.

“The rewards I received are an increase in physical fitness and mental strength, and two… well, I guess you could say one and a half skills.”

[Stardust Splash (Sword Skill): Consumes a certain amount of mental power and stamina to unleash an eight-hit combo at super high speed. When using this skill, other skills (such as Thrusting Thorn) can be combined during the eight-hit combo, but the consumption of mental power and stamina will also increase accordingly.]

[Note: This sword skill will place a huge burden on the user’s wrist, please use it at your discretion.]

[Wind’s Blessing: Consumes a small amount of mental power to make the body lighter and more agile. This blessing-type magic can also be used to enchant blade-type weapons by consuming a small amount of mental power, making them sharper.]

After reading Asuna Yuuki’s rewards, Kotoko Iwanaga also opened her player panel.

“I didn’t get many rewards for this clear, because of the limitation of my exclusive talent, I didn’t get any physical fitness enhancements, only a significant increase in mental strength, one skill, and a ring.”

[Touch of the Undead (Warlock Class Exclusive Skill): Consumes a large amount of mental power to summon a large number of undead hands in an area that can cause curse damage. Creatures touched by the undead hands will continuously have their mental power drained, and the drained mental power will be fed back to the user.]

[Warlock’s Ring (Quality: Purple, Excellent): Can consume mental power to create a light green curse-attribute shield around the user. The shield will continuously consume the user’s mental power while active, and its strength depends on the user’s mental strength.]

After reading Kotoko Iwanaga’s clear rewards, Megumi Kato also opened her player panel on her phone and placed the phone on the table, and also took out something that surprised Asagiri and the others.

“Mine are increased mental power and physical fitness, one special class exclusive skill, and one weapon.”

[Indian Tomahawk (Quality: Blue, Excellent): A certain assassin master’s habitual weapon, not only suitable for close combat but also usable as a throwing weapon.]

[Note: That famous assassin master once said: As long as everyone is killed, no one will know I was here, that’s a perfect assassination.]

“Uh…”

Kotoko Iwanaga and Asuna Yuuki looked at the hand axe on the table, their expressions somewhat complex.

“Your Shadow Dancer… isn’t it an assassin-type class? And logically, the system’s rewards should match the player’s personal situation as much as possible. How could the clear reward you, an assassin, get be such a… berserker-type weapon?”

Facing Asuna Yuuki’s confusion, Megumi Kato merely tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear. After a moment of thought, she said with a serious expression,

“Well… it’s mainly that daggers are too much trouble to kill enemies in frontal combat. If I use an axe, I don’t have to slit their throats with every strike; I can just chop them on the head.”

“Uh…”

Hearing Megumi Kato say such terrifying words in a calm tone, Asuna Yuuki didn’t know how to react. She could only turn her gaze to the phone on the table and began to check the skill she had obtained.

[Throw: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to throw the weapon held in hand, dealing devastating physical damage to enemies.]

“Throw…?”

Seeing the effect of this offensive skill, Kotoko Iwanaga couldn’t help but feel a little confused. She looked up at Megumi Kato.

“How could you, an assassin, awaken such a skill?”

Megumi Kato glanced at Asagiri, who was sitting opposite her, then replied unhurriedly in a gentle and calm tone,

“Because I thought Utsunomiya-kun’s rope dart throwing looked really cool, so I wanted to throw too.”

Asuna Yuuki and Kotoko Iwanaga were both speechless upon hearing this.

“Tomahawk plus throwing skill…”

Asagiri first showed a thoughtful expression, then looked at Megumi Kato and suddenly realized,

“I get it, you’re a Viking pirate!”

Megumi Kato’s lips curved upward, and she said softly,

“Should I get a fake beard or something to wear? It would be more intimidating with the tomahawk.”

Asuna Yuuki shook her head helplessly and sighed,

“Megumi, your ability to catch on to jokes is really strong…”

Immediately after, Asuna Yuuki looked at Asagiri, who was sitting there, and asked with concern,

“You look very tired. Why don’t you go wash up and rest first? We can discuss what kind of rewards you should customize after you wake up tomorrow?”

“No need, I’ve already decided.”

Asagiri forced himself to endure his fatigue, took out his phone, tapped the eye-icon app, and then confirmed the type of custom dungeon reward for this time.

[You have confirmed your chosen reward type: Mental strength increase, Equipment (Armor type)]

[Obtained Clear Reward: Significant increase in mental strength, Player Exclusive Equipment: Hunter’s Windbreaker]

[Hunter’s Windbreaker (Gray Quality, Unidentifiable): Armor-type equipment. This equipment’s defense and resistance to various attribute attacks depend on the player’s physical fitness level and the player’s own resistance to attribute attacks. It is a synchronously growing exclusive equipment.]

“Growing equipment? The effect is amazing…”

Seeing the reward information that appeared on Asagiri’s phone, Asuna Yuuki couldn’t help but exclaim.

Through this dungeon, the four members of the team had already discovered that due to the increased difficulty of the second stage, some equipment obtained in the first stage dungeon was no longer very useful, such as the rapier initially held by Asuna Yuuki and later transferred to Megumi Kato.

White quality common weapons were beginner equipment prepared for ordinary players, but for the current four-person team, white quality equipment, whether in terms of damage or durability, could no longer keep up with the intensity of combat.

As players’ individual strength continuously grew, it was only a matter of time before some outdated equipment was eliminated.

But growing equipment was different. Not to mention, the effect of the “Hunter’s Windbreaker” was practically tailor-made for Asagiri. Through “Rebirth of the End,” his resistance to various attributes would continuously increase, and with each dungeon clear, his physical fitness would also continuously strengthen. His own growth would also cause this armor-type equipment to grow synchronously.

From a long-term perspective, the value of this exclusive growing equipment was completely comparable to the red epic-level “Reversal Pocket Watch.”

“Eh? You drew armor? And such amazing armor?”

Kotoko Iwanaga slumped onto the sofa like a deflated balloon, muttering with a hint of disappointment,

“Then, from now on, it’ll be hard to see Asagiri with torn clothes? Sigh, what a pity.”

Asuna Yuuki rolled her eyes and retorted angrily,

“Please, I beg you, can you stop acting like a pervert? You’re ruining the team’s atmosphere.”

“Tch…”

“Alright, let’s go to sleep.”

Asuna Yuuki stood up and, seeing Kotoko Iwanaga about to say something, immediately spoke first,

“Don’t think about anything else. Everyone sleeps separately.”

Kotoko Iwanaga immediately said with a straight face,

“I’ve consumed a lot of mental energy, and I witnessed such a terrifying scene. It caused great damage to my young and innocent heart. Only by lying in Asagiri’s warm embrace can I avoid psychological trauma!”

“Where did you get that twisted logic?”

Asuna Yuuki directly exposed Kotoko Iwanaga’s pretense, saying mercilessly,

“Terrifying scene? Don’t make me laugh. You, the goddess of wisdom for oddities, the princess of yokai, would find the scenes in the dungeon terrifying? You’re already audacious and lawless, hurry up and go to sleep.”

…

The next morning.

Asagiri, who was sound asleep, felt something pressing on him, accompanied by a girl’s gasp.

He opened his eyes, and the sight that appeared before him far exceeded his expectations.

Kotoko Iwanaga was sprawled on his chest, her hands gripping his shoulders, like a playful kitten. Asuna Yuuki was lying on his thigh, one hand still tugging at Kotoko Iwanaga’s skirt.

And Megumi Kato, who was originally standing by the bed, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but it was only a moment’s hesitation before she sat down on the edge of the bed and gently rested her head on his arm.

Waking up to such an impactful scene, even Asagiri, who was always messing around and being abstract, couldn’t help but be stunned.

“What are you all doing? May I ask?”

“Eh… you’re awake? It’s not what you think…”

Seeing Asagiri awake, Asuna Yuuki quickly explained,

“It’s this Kotoko, she insisted on coming to find you. I didn’t want her to disturb your sleep, so she jumped onto you and lay there. I wanted to pull her up, but I accidentally tripped, and that’s how it ended up. But… Megumi, what are you…?”

Seeing Asuna Yuuki’s puzzled expression, Megumi Kato adjusted her position to make herself more comfortable resting on Asagiri’s arm, then replied in a slightly lazy, unhurried, and gentle tone,

“I saw both of you lying down, it seemed like some kind of ritual to celebrate successfully clearing the dungeon. As a member of the team, I had to fit in too.”

Then, Megumi Kato said something astonishing in a flat tone that left both Asuna Yuuki and Kotoko Iwanaga a little bewildered.

“However, Utsunomiya-kun’s body is indeed very comfortable.”

“Megumi, you…”

Feeling the atmosphere become awkward and silent, Asuna Yuuki lightly coughed twice, got up from Asagiri, sat up straight, and changed the subject,

“Well… since you’re awake, let’s talk business. Take a look at this.”

Asuna Yuuki handed her phone to Asagiri, who took it and saw a news report title on the screen.

“Massive Vanishing Event Suddenly Occurs? Supernatural Phenomenon, or a Conspiracy by a Mysterious Organization?”
