Hearing Asagiri Utsunomiya agree to play games with her, Cap-Weating Mita cheered and immediately pulled his hand, leading him through the living room to the kitchen.
On the white dining table, there was something that looked like a button with a timer underneath.
"Player, please sit down first~" Cap-Waring Mita first said as she pulled out a chair for Asagiri Utsunomiya, and after he sat down, she walked to the opposite side, swaying constantly, looking very lively and cute, and said playfully, "Next, we need one more thing. It's in my inventory. Wait a moment, I'll find it right away~"
Soon after, Cap-Waring Mita extended her right hand. A toy yellow duck first appeared in her hand, then seamlessly switched to things like a crowbar, hand axe, scissors, and taser.
Seeing this scene, Kotoko Iwanaga, Asuna Yuuki, and Megumi Kato's eyes all widened in shock.
This cute girl who called herself Mita and wore a cap and gloves could actually do the same things as them, the Players of the Survival Game? Directly take things from the ethereal space called inventory and hold them in her hand?
And... weapons like a crowbar, hand axe, and taser?
It seemed that although this Cap-Wearing Mita was cute in appearance and hadn't shown any ill intentions towards them for the time being, she wasn't the harmless, naive girl who only knew how to cling to Asagiri Utsunomiya. They couldn't treat her as a normal girl just because she looked cute and friendly.
After all... she wasn't human to begin with.
In the next second, a mysterious purple object suddenly appeared in Cap-Waring Mita's hand. After taking out this object, she suddenly looked embarrassed and quickly hid the item behind her back.
"What is that thing?"
Although they only glanced at it roughly, Asuna Yuuki, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Megumi Kato all saw the general shape of the purple object, which felt somewhat like a club or something similar. However, they were more curious about why Cap-Waring Mita would react like that? Was that thing not presentable?
"You three... don't even recognize that thing?" Asagiri Utsunomiya asked with an amused expression, especially when he looked at Kotoko Iwanaga. The deep meaning in his gaze even made Kotoko Iwanaga feel a little inexplicably embarrassed.
"What is that thing? Do you know it?"
"Of course." Asagiri Utsunomiya explained openly and honestly, "It's a wonderful little toy that simulates a certain part of a male body. So, you should understand now, right?"
Asuna Yuuki, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Megumi Kato, although they didn't have that kind of experience, they did have basic physiological knowledge. Asuna Yuuki suddenly understood, then blushed in shyness and e.
Megumi Kato turned her head and gently twisting the ends of her hair with her index finger and thumb. Although she didn't show it as obviously as Asuna Yuuki, she was still shy.
And Kotoko Iwanaga just paused for a moment, then looked at Cap-Waring Mita with an excited expression and said, "Eh eh eh, how do you use that? Is it fun? If you use that strange little gadget, will it make the other person like you more?"
"Eh?" Cap-Waring Mita was stunned by the question, tilted her head, and said hesitantly while being deep in thought, "Hmm... that's probably not how you use it..."
Next, Cap-Waring Mita looked at Asagiri Utsunomiya sitting there, conjured a toy hammer in her hand, first placed it on the dining table, then sat across from Asagiri Utsunomiya, and introduced the rules of the game with a sweet smile.
"The rules of the game are very simple. Do you see the display screen below this button? When the game starts, there will be a countdown of 3, 2, 1. After the countdown ends, a √ might appear. At that time, you have to press the button quickly. The person who presses it can hit the other person with this toy hammer. But if an × appears, you can't press it, otherwise you lose. Understand?"
"Hmph, it's very simple."
Asagiri Utsunomiya looked directly into Cap-Waring Mita's face. There was no gentleness towards the cute girl in his eyes, only the purest, most fervent competitive spirit.
"Want to compete with me in reaction speed? Bring it on! I, Akira Fususeki, am definitely not someone to be trifled with!"
Hearing Asagiri Utsunomiya call himself Akira Fususeki, Kotoko Iwanaga and Megumi Kato were a little confused, but Asuna Yuuki, who had spent the beginner dungeon with him and had heard this alias before, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips, revealing a smile.
"Akira... Fususeki?" Cap-Waring Mita's reaction after hearing this name was beyond the expectations of Asuna Yuuki and the others. She just tilted her head, looking puzzled. Then said, "Player, isn't your name Asagiri Utsunomiya? Is there a problem with my data?"
Asuna Yuuki, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Megumi Kato were all startled when they heard Cap-Waring Mita directly reveal Asagiri Utsunomiya's real name.
Holy crap, doxed?
And Asagiri Utsunomiya, the person who was doxed, still maintained a casual smile, completely unfazed, and just said, "Since you can directly say my name, the probability of you being a Player disguised as a game character is greatly reduced. For now, let's assume everything you said is true."
Hearing this, Asuna Yuuki and the others finally realized that Asagiri Utsunomiya deliberately used an alias to test whether this girl who called herself Mita was a real game character, and if so, how much she knew about Players.
"Eh, Player, didn't I already say? I'm Mita. You don't believe me, hmph."
Seeing Cap-Waring Mita puff up her cheeks and look adorable in her feigned anger, Asagiri Utsunomiya just said frankly, "Don't try to act cute with me, let's start the game! My hammer won't go easy on you!"
Cap-Waring Mita also seemed to become excited, swaying slightly, looking directly into Asagiri Utsunomiya's face, and said with a determined expression, "Okay! Then let me compete with Player for supremacy!"
Asuna Yuuki, Kotoko Iwanga, and Megumi Kato looked at the scene before them, unsure how to evaluate it.
Just listening to the conversation between Cap-Waring Mita and Asagiri Utsunomiya and looking at their expressions, it was indeed quite exciting, feeling like it was about to ignite, but combined with the small toy-like button on the dining table and the inflatable toy hammer placed next to it, it just felt like...
It's just a small game, do we really need to build up the momentum this much?
"Alright then, let's start~"
Cap-Waring Mita activated the button device, then withdrew her hand, keeping it not far from her chest, and did not make any cheating moves like placing her hand directly above the button.
"You have quite a bit of game ethics."
"Of course..."
Just as Cap-Waring Mita was halfway through speaking, Asagiri Utsunomiya suddenly slapped towards the button. Seeing his action, Cap-Waring Mita subconsciously also slapped her hand towards the button, but Asagiri Utsunomiya immediately withdrew his hand again.
"You lose."
"Eh?"
Cap-Waring Mita lowered her head and took a look. Indeed, the countdown on the display screen had just reached 1, and neither the √ nor the × icon had appeared yet. According to the game rules, the person who pressed the button prematurely was considered to have lost.
Asuna Yuuki, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and thought to herself.
'So Asagiri-kun agreeing to play the game with her was also a test...'
From her performance just now, it can be seen that Cap-Waring Mita's reaction time and speed did not exceed the scope of normal humans. Of course, it is also possible that she saw that Asagiri Utsunomiya wanted to test her through the game, so she deliberately hid her strength. But if that were the case, this Mita-san's acting skills would be a bit too exquisite, capable of faking even subconscious reactions.
"Ugh... I was tricked." Cap-Waring Mita looked unconvinced, gazed at Asagiri Utsunomiya, and said with full confidence, "Then hit me quickly! I only lost the first round, I'll come back and win later!"
"Okay, I admire your courage!" Asagiri Utsunomiya picked up the inflatable toy hammer on the table, and under the shocked gaze of Asuna Yuuki and the others, he stood up directly. His originally dark eyes turned golden, and a faint, tall black phantom appeared behind him.
"This hammer, with thirty years of skill, can you take it!?"
Asuna Yuuki, Kotoko Iwanaga, and Megumi Kato were all dumbfounded as they watched Asagiri Utsunomiya raise the inflatable toy hammer high.
As if their minds were synchronized, they had the same thought in their minds: 'You're serious?!'
Although it's an inflatable toy hammer and shouldn't hurt people, Asagiri Utsunomiya's physical ability rating is close to the limit of normal humans. Coupled with the passive effect of Hitoshura, it has completely exceeded the scope of normal humans.
And judging from the fact that his eyes turned golden and the phantom of Hitoshura appeared behind him...
He was really planning to use his full strength!
*Thump!*
The inflatable toy hammer left an afterimage in the air, followed by a loud *thump!* sound.
Asuna Yuuki even felt that she heard a slight sonic boom when Asagiri Utsunomiya swung the hammer.
She immediately looked in the direction Cap-Waring Mita was sitting, with worry in her eyes. After all, under Asagiri Utsunomiya's full strength, even an inflatable toy hammer was not something ordinary people could withstand. It was very possible to cause a concussion or even knock her unconscious.
However...
"Ouch, that hurts, ugh..."
After taking this heavy blow, Cap-Waring Mita just raised her hand and rubbed her head, then put her crooked cap back on. Although she had a slightly pained expression, she was clearly fine, and even looked at Asagiri Utsunomiya right after, still eager to try again.
"Player is indeed amazing! Okay, I'm excited too! Round Two, Start!"
Seeing this scene, Asuna Yuuki glanced at Kotoko Iwanaga and Megumi Kato beside her. The three girls all came to a conclusion.
This game character who called herself Mita, her ability to withstand hits...
—far exceeds normal humans.
Just as Asuna Yuuki and the others were thinking this, they heard Hat Mita suddenly let out a cheer.
"Woo-hoo~ I won this time~"
