Chapter 416: Chika's Hidden Attribute
Hearing Asagiri's words, Fujiwara Chika's pretty face flushed red.
She did not know how to respond.
At this moment, she did not have the energy to reply anyway. Her head was spinning, and she felt a dizzy sensation, like she was running out of oxygen.
But it was not unpleasant.
On the contrary, it felt strangely comfortable.
"Haa..."
Fujiwara Chika's breath gently brushed against Asagiri's shoulder. Her fair skin still carried the warmth left behind from their recent intense teasing.
"Are you tired already?"
Asagiri spoke with a smile in his tone.
"You don't think it's over just like that, do you?"
"Don't... don't underestimate me!"
Although she had been completely defeated in the previous round, Fujiwara Chika was still trying to talk tough.
"I'm not little Kaguya. I do have knowledge in this area..."
"Before I went out this morning, I checked online. The usual main event time is about ten minutes to half an hour..."
"Ten minutes? Half an hour?"
Asagiri seemed to have heard a joke. He shook his head and corrected her.
"My time is usually much longer than that. At least an hour."
"Plus, I have the talent for quick draw shooting. I can launch continuously."
"Not to mention once or twice, even if I did it dozens of times in one night, it wouldn't be a burden at all."
"What!?"
Fujiwara Chika's expression changed upon hearing this, and disbelief appeared in her eyes.
Only then did she remember that the ten minutes to half an hour mentioned online referred to ordinary people.
But Asagiri was no ordinary person.
He was the strongest Player, with terrifying physical fitness.
Fujiwara Chika tried to imagine it.
If she had to face Asagiri dozens of times in one night...
No.
Even if it were just five or six times, given her constitution, which was already much more sensitive than the average girl, and considering that the intensity of the main event would definitely be much higher than the previous teasing...
She would probably end up completely unconscious, right?
But even so, Fujiwara Chika had no intention of backing down.
Just as she was about to continue talking tough, she heard Asagiri suddenly speak in a serious tone.
"Question."
"When facing a powerful boss whose stats far exceed your own, what kind of tactics should you use to achieve victory?"
Do not be fooled by Fujiwara Chika's usual natural and slightly airheaded appearance.
She was actually the strategist of the Player team.
Hearing the question Asagiri posed, she did not have to think much and answered without hesitation.
"Hmm... Use technique to make up for the gap in stats, and use clear tactics to play to your strengths while avoiding your weaknesses..."
Halfway through, Fujiwara Chika understood what Asagiri meant.
"I see. There's that method..."
Although her stats were very low and she could not contend with the villainous boss in front of her, if she could reduce his stats to a level similar to her own, would she not have a chance to achieve victory?
A look of determination appeared in Fujiwara Chika's eyes.
Although she felt very shy, in order to achieve victory, she made up her mind at that moment.
She would definitely weaken this high and mighty villainous boss, who seemed so powerful as to be unreachable, to a level she could defeat.
With that thought, Fujiwara Chika gathered her courage.
Although her movements were still clumsy and her heart was pounding so fast it felt like it might leap out of her chest, she diligently began carrying out the strategy she had once discussed with Yuuki Asuna.
She was going to weaken Asagiri.
...
Two hours later, on the bed in the master bedroom.
"I can't..."
Fujiwara Chika lay on the soft bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket.
Her pink hair was spread messily across the pillow, and tears of defeat welled up in her eyes.
"Are... are you a monster..."
Hearing Fujiwara Chika's slightly shy, feigned complaint, Asagiri, who was lying beside her, replied with a smile.
"Is that it? I haven't even used my full strength. At most, I used thirty percent."
"No, no, no, don't use your full strength."
Fujiwara Chika pulled the quilt higher to cover herself, a pitifully timid look appearing on her cute face.
With a flushed face, she begged in a whisper,
"If you do it again... I'll really die..."
Fujiwara Chika had figured it out.
No matter what method she used to weaken Asagiri, even if she used the two trump cards she was most proud of, it was still just a drop in the bucket.
The absolute gap in strength simply could not be made up for by any technique or tactics.
At this moment, Fujiwara Chika finally understood why, when she talked to Yuuki Asuna about these things, Asuna would show that indescribably complicated expression while feeling shy.
This was simply one sided trampling.
There was absolutely no power to fight back.
However...
After resting for a few minutes, Fujiwara Chika took the initiative to move closer to Asagiri.
Her soft thigh gently brushed against his side, and she lifted her snow white chin in provocation.
"Actually, it was just okay. I think it was fine."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Asagiri turned over and pinned Fujiwara Chika down.
Looking at her face, which wore an expression of unwillingness to admit defeat, he said in a serious tone,
"It seems I was still too merciful."
Although Fujiwara Chika showed a somewhat timid expression on her face, her heart had already begun to pound uncontrollably.
Actually, compared to that gentle way, she hoped that Asagiri could be a little rougher.
Even if he overwhelmed her completely, it did not matter.
After all...
Fujiwara Chika was a masochist.
...
The next morning, in a private hospital in Tokyo.
"Ms. Yamauchi Sakura."
The female doctor in a white coat looked at the test results, then raised her head to look at Yamauchi Sakura, whose expression appeared somewhat nervous.
She removed her light blue mask and smiled.
"Your pancreatic disease has indeed been completely cured."
"Putting aside your physical fitness, which is far superior to that of an ordinary person, your physical condition is very normal. There are no diseases."
"Moreover, as a Player, you should not suffer from any diseases in the future either."
"Really? That's great..."
Hearing the doctor's words, Yamauchi Sakura did not show obvious excitement or joy.
Instead, she simply let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally over..."
The female doctor did not say much else. She only smiled and said,
"Ms. Ashikaga has already made the arrangements. Your examination data has been destroyed, and there was no identity registration, so no information will be leaked."
"Yes. Thank you for your trouble."
After a brief conversation with the female doctor, Yamauchi Sakura stood up and left the room.
After closing the door behind her, she clenched her fists.
A brilliant smile bloomed on her face, and she could not help cheering in a lowered voice.
"Great! My disease has finally been cured, and my life can continue on..."
Speaking up to this point, Yamauchi Sakura paused.
A bright look flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself,
"In this way, I can finally express my feelings to Utsunomiya-san."
"Uh..."
Just as Yamauchi Sakura finished speaking, she discovered that, without her realizing it, four people had appeared in front of her.
She looked up and saw Asagiri, Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi all standing there with subtle expressions, looking like they wanted to say something but were hesitant.
"Eh? How are you guys..."
"Ms. Ashikaga told us."
Yuuki Asuna felt the atmosphere become a little subtle and immediately smiled to smooth things over.
"After confirming that your body was finally cured, we wanted to take advantage of the fact that it's the weekend to hold a celebration party for clearing the last Dungeon."
"So we used Megumi's ability, thinking we could give you a surprise..."
As Yuuki Asuna said this, Asagiri smiled and continued,
"Turns out, you were the one who gave us a surprise."
"Um..."
Yamauchi Sakura lowered her head.
Even with her carefree personality, encountering such an awkward situation where her self talk, which was basically no different from a confession, was not only heard by the person involved, but also by her three teammates, her face could not help flushing.
She had no idea what to do.
"Alright, alright. It's not like no one knows how you feel about him."
Iwanaga Kotoko curled her lips, looking slightly impatient.
"It's something anyone with eyes can see, so don't keep standing here in awkward silence."
"Compared to that..."
Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Asagiri beside her, anticipation shining in her dark purple eyes as she said eagerly,
"Let's go eat sushi today? I heard sea urchin sushi is very nourishing. I want to eat sushi~"
Yuuki Asuna said with annoyance upon hearing this,
"Why are you nourishing your body every day?"
Kato Megumi added a precise roast in a gentle tone.
"You eat nourishing food every day, but your figure and height are below the average for your age."
"Is all the nutrition being stored in your dirty joke repository?"
"If anyone needs nourishment, it should be me, right?"
Asagiri shrugged and said with a casual smile.
"I'm consuming energy every day."
"You... don't say such lewd remarks!"
"It really has consumed quite a bit."
"It's been a while since you consumed energy on me. How about tonight..."
Watching the four people in front of her chatting, Yamauchi Sakura could not help smiling.
The embarrassment and shyness from just a moment ago disappeared, and she returned to her usual liveliness as she took the initiative to suggest,
"Then let's eat sushi. Let's go, my treat~"
"Sigh, sushi is very good, but..."
Asagiri looked deeply moved, a nostalgic look appearing in his eyes.
"The grilled Furious Rajang meat we ate in the cave still touches my soul more."
"Is it really that good?"
Yamauchi Sakura felt very puzzled.
"Everyone ate it at the time, and that meat didn't even have any seasoning. It was just plain grilled meat. It wasn't that special, was it?"
"Eh, that's where you're wrong."
Asagiri waved his hand and retorted with a smile.
"The taste of the food itself isn't important."
"Spending the night in a cave with four beautiful girls of different types, a scene that only appears in romance games, is what truly touches my soul."
Yamauchi Sakura: "Uh... there's no need to be that nostalgic. We can go camping together sometime..."
Upon hearing the word camping, Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly looked excited and said impatiently,
"Spending the night in the wild? Doesn't that mean..."
Yuuki Asuna did not even need to hear the rest.
Just by looking at Iwanaga Kotoko's expression, she knew that whatever Kotoko was about to say would not be anything good.
She immediately covered Kotoko's mouth and said crossly,
"No dirty talk allowed."
