Even the things they say when others see them are the same!
"Have it?"
"That's not important, but the scene where you watched Asuna eat and then inexplicably smiled to yourself..."
Kasumigaoka described, his brows gradually furrowing: "It's perverted."
The girl's words, spoken without thinking, left Asuna somewhat speechless.
After she coughed twice, a blush appeared on her face.
Aoba stared at Kasumigaoka, his eyes revealing obvious doubt and surprise.
Then look at her with the same smile:
"Kasumigaoka-san, if smiling like that is weird... how about this?"
As he spoke, Aoba acted like a perverted stalker from a TV show, raising the corners of his mouth and eyebrows slightly, and even sticking out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth.
He looks like a complete pervert!
His acting skills in 1v2 are enough to handle most idol dramas, plus his own 003-like temperament and appearance.
In an instant, a pervert dressed as a beast in human clothing quietly appeared before Kasumigaoka.
"The store manager... is so childish."
However, the girl was clearly not frightened and calmly made her own comments.
Asuna chuckled softly as well.
"Manager, no pervert would wear the word 'pervert' on their face."
"Besides, if there really is a pervert as handsome as the store manager, the one who should be worried is the store manager himself."
Kasumigaoka and Asuna sang in unison.
"...Ahem, isn't that how it's always portrayed on TV?"
Aoba sighed helplessly.
A long-awaited banter between Kasumigaoka and Kasumigaoka.
The final outcome was that the girl found an ally and won.
But this is only a temporary result. In the future, Aoba may get his revenge at any time.
By then, even if the girl begs for mercy, it won't be of any use.
The shop was filled with people chatting and laughing.
Aoba would also join in the guests' casual conversations when she had nothing else to do.
The trio of Saitama, Futaro, and Genos naturally rely on discounted goods and cutting-edge weaponry.
Meanwhile, Fubuki, who was eating nearby, would occasionally join in the discussion about "monster extermination".
Gradually, he became familiar with Saitama, Futaro, and the others.
However, the consequence of this is...
Tornado stared at the three of them for a long time more than once, her eyes filled with a dangerous glint.
Be careful of anyone who gets close to your sister!
Even Aoba suffered an undeserved misfortune, receiving a warning look from the superpowered girl.
Compared to the lively atmosphere at this table, the other table, filled with pine and raven feathers, was much quieter.
Matsu is a guy who loves to join in the fun, but under Karasu's control, he has to suppress his personality.
Several times he tried to talk to Aoba, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Karasu.
Aoba also found this somewhat strange.
Crow Feather wasn't like this before. Could it be that last night's meeting with her really changed her?
But unfortunately...
When Aoba accidentally added soup to the hot pot, he bumped into Yaba's side and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Yaba.
Just from being touched by him, Ya Yu's breathing became extremely erratic.
His ear tips were bloodshot, and his thighs trembled and shuddered from time to time.
This discovery...
This made Aoba look at Yaba with new respect.
I thought she was getting better, but it turns out her condition is getting worse!
Is it really okay for things to continue like this?
Aoba was genuinely afraid that one day Yaba would completely lose control and turn into a crazed woman seeking revenge on him!
"Whoo~"
"Snoring~~~"
Back at the bar, Aoba wiped away her sweat; the kitchen was still very hot in this weather.
Not long after he sat down, a small figure came straight toward him.
It also made a sound similar to a pig snoring.
"elder brother..."
"Mine?"
Feeling Mine clinging to his back, Aoba naturally reached for her legs and carried her in a princess carry.
"Chelsie, let me take Mine upstairs to rest for a while."
"Okay, I'll go upstairs and take care of them later."
Chelsea blinked and gave Aoba a playful smile.
She was not very old to begin with.
He can talk to Asuna and Kasumigaoka, and he also has plenty of experience in interacting with them.
After several conversations, he successfully blended into the group of girls.
Curiously exploring everything about this world.
Sometimes she can even exchange a few words with Fubuki and Tatsumaki.
Seeing this, Aoba had to admire Chelsea's natural ease in making friends.
That Teigu Gaia foundation was practically tailor-made for her.
With his unpredictable abilities and experience in adapting to any situation, he is simply the perfect candidate for an undercover agent.
Aoba even thought that if he returned to Esdeath's world, he would secretly run to the capital and switch the young emperor with Chelsea, who would then impersonate him.
They might be able to fulfill their bet with Esdeath in one fell swoop.
but. . .
Infiltrating is inherently dangerous, and Chelsea has no combat skills whatsoever.
If discovered to have no means of resistance, their lives will be in danger.
"I'll talk to her about it later."
Tell her not to take unnecessary risks just because she has Imperial Arms.
Thinking it over, Aoba carried Mine to the bed on the second floor and hugged her side by side with the girl with black hair and black eyes.
Looking at the two sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly.
This place is clearly an izakaya, so why does it suddenly feel like a girls' shelter?
"Get some rest."
After covering the two of them with a thin blanket, Aoba returned to the lobby on the first floor.
As for how Mine and Chelsea got back, we can only ask them slowly after most of the other guests have left.
"real!?"
On the first floor, Futaro stared at Asuna with wide eyes in surprise.
"It has indeed been achieved. Mr. Uesugi, are you interested in VR technology?"
Asuna tilted her head and smiled in response.
"Yes, I had learned about this technology before, and I was originally planning to develop in this direction in the future, but I didn't expect that it has already been mastered..."
Futaro sighed.
VR technology has been a hot topic in recent years.
Even within the University of Tokyo, numerous specialized research groups have been established.
But Futaro never expected that a game company would be able to crack the code and make it a reality.
"What are you saying, so surprised?"
Aoba curiously came closer.
"Qingye is a recently released game that uses VR technology for holographic projection; it's a MMORPG-like game!"
Futaro became somewhat excited as he talked about these things. (For the most exciting novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)
"Holographic projection?"
Aoba was taken aback; he didn't usually pay much attention to games.
The abbreviation for the game's name is SAO.
Asuna, sitting to the side, explained, "Shopkeeper, are you interested in games? Would you like to try one out?"
SAO?
He did vaguely recognize the name.
He remembered seeing a lot of promotional posters when he went to Akihabara with Kasumigaoka before, and they seemed to be promoting this game.
