Kirigaya Naoki put it on and felt it for a bit. The attribute bonuses weren't as much as he had imagined. Although they weren't small, it could only be considered a minor top-tier piece of equipment.
The most noteworthy attribute is probably Dragon Guardian.
The black trench coat fluttered in the breeze, and although it was of good quality, the style didn't quite suit him.
To be honest, he doesn't like black trench coats; he prefers to wear elegant gentleman's suits.
That kind of clothing is Naoki Kiritani's favorite—elegant yet dignified.
But when he took out the clothes, his younger brother's eyes lit up and he looked at him expectantly.
Whenever Kirigaya Naoki looks back, Kirigaya Kazuto will look away.
Naoki Kiritani's lips twitched. After so many years of getting along, how could he not understand his little brother's personality?
Considering his age, he's probably in his rebellious teenage years, so it's normal for him to have these kinds of feelings when he sees cool equipment.
After thinking for a moment, I removed the equipment from its equipped state, opened Kirito's chat panel, and gave the equipment to him.
Kiritani Kazuto's eyes lit up, but he hesitated to speak. He walked over to Kiritani Naoki, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Big brother, is it really okay if I give you this equipment?"
Naoki Kiritani scoffed dismissively, "I don't need to tell you what you're thinking, do I?"
Kiritani Kazuto was a little embarrassed, but he was used to asking his older brother for help and didn't feel ashamed.
Kiritani Kazuto nodded and said, "Then I'll accept it. If you need anything in the future, or if you need any valuable materials, just let me know."
Naoki Kiritani laughed and said, "We're all family, why be so formal? By the way, did you manage to win over that girl?"
Naoki Kiritani pointed to Fukasumi Usawa, who was chatting with Asuna.
He nodded, somewhat hesitant to speak, and said, "Actually, it's alright."
Seeing Kirito's expression, Kirigaya Naoki laughed and asked, "Have you kissed yet?"
He had only asked casually, but unexpectedly, Kirito's face turned red.
"???" Kirigaya Naoki was full of question marks, looking at the boy in front of him with an incredulous expression.
Kirito's appearance is undoubtedly excellent. Although his face still has a bit of a childish look and a baby face shape, Kirito's appearance is still very appealing to many girls.
In addition, Kirito's personality is such that, although he doesn't usually say it, he is surprisingly good at taking care of girls.
It's not surprising that things have developed to this point, right? Not at all!
Despite spending so much time with Asuna, their relationship remained stuck in the line between friendship and romance.
Although he often teases Asuna, she seems to be immune to it and can occasionally tease him back.
When we go out shopping, we just hold hands; to be honest, we don't really kiss.
He was too young before, and there was suspicion of him being a pedophile. He didn't want to be arrested and imprisoned.
As I grew up, I got used to being a flirt and didn't think much about it. I just joked around and didn't do anything else.
Only now did he suddenly realize this.
It seems he's the only single man right now.
How long has it been since my younger brother met Usagizawa Fukasumi?
Four months? No, it should be a little over three months, right?
They've already kissed?
Not many, perhaps this is what a normal relationship between men and women is like.
Naoki Kiritani began to analyze and summarize.
Seeing that Kirigaya Naoki was in a daze, Kirigaya Kazuto waved his hand in front of his older brother's face. Kirigaya Naoki slapped his younger brother's hand away and said expressionlessly, "Let's go."
I was actually surpassed by the other party?
Asuna looked at the two strangely, and seeing them talking furtively, she subconsciously frowned, feeling that they were talking about something inappropriate.
It's not that Asuna has any prejudice against Kirigaya Kazuto, but mainly when Kirigaya Naoki is around, Asuna subconsciously wonders if he's up to no good.
She quietly tugged at Usagizawa Fukasumi and asked, "What do you think of Kiritani Naoki?"
Usagi Fukasumi laughed and said, "He's a very good person. Although he's a bit frivolous at times, he always steps up when it matters. If it weren't for Kiritani Naoki this time, he probably would have suffered a lot more."
Asuna seemed lost in thought, then suddenly asked, "So what do you think of Kirito?"
Usagi Fukasumi was slightly taken aback, her face flushed, and she glared at Asuna, saying, "Don't you know what kind of relationship I have with Kirito?"
Asuna fell silent, then suddenly asked, "Did you do it?"
Usazawa Fukasumi didn't speak again, silently pulling Asuna away a distance, and said angrily, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Well, I never expected Asuna to be like this, spouting such vulgar and offensive language.
Asuna glanced at her best friend and said quietly, "I remember seeing your LINE post about your feelings about love on my phone not long ago."
Fukasumi Usagi fell silent.
Asuna spoke again: "You also sent a message about your feelings about your first kiss."
Usawa Fukasumi covered Asuna's mouth and looked at her, saying, "That's enough, stop talking."
The company's dead, you bastard.
In reality, Usagizawa Fukasumi has very few friends. She is only interested in games and acts like a boy, showing little interest in things like shopping or karaoke that are typical for girls.
Naturally, she didn't know many real friends, and her social media platforms didn't have many acquaintances; most of them were online friends she met.
So people will naturally be more unrestrained in what they post, but if their best friend exposes these things in public, then of course, they'll be in deep trouble.
Taking a deep breath, Usazawa's deep purple eyes narrowed slightly as she sized up Asuna, and said bluntly, "Just say what you want to ask!"
Asuna's question is definitely suspicious; she's not usually one to pry into other people's lives.
Asuna felt a headache coming on. She pointed at Kirigaya Naoki and said, "You probably know about my relationship with him, right?"
Usawa Fukasumi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "You like him?"
Asuna took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I like him, it's that he likes me, do you understand?"
Usagizawa Misumi suppressed a laugh and nodded with a serious face.
Asuna continued, "You know this guy's personality. Naoki always talks the talk but never walks the walk. He's never proactive at all."
Usagizawa Fukasumi thought for a moment, then nodded again.
Asuna gave a helpless look and said, "So, I suppose you already understand?"
I'll write a few more chapters as a short side story. What do you think? Share your opinions.
Yes, the swords and blades have buried the dragon clan.
