"You want to add more people? Who? Kaguya Shinomiya? Chika Fujiwara? Or that Rikka Sakuragawa?"
"Hey, eh, eh."
Before Asagiri could answer, Kotoko Iwanaga, sitting opposite her, quickly moved Asuna Yuuki's hand away, raised her hand with a pained expression, and rubbed Asagiri's cheek, complaining.
"Don't pinch my boyfriend's handsome face until it's ruined."
Yuki Asuna: "..."
Kato Megumi's tone was calm, yet her words were incisive.
"You're just trying to take advantage of this opportunity, aren't you?"
"Is it so obvious?"
Seeing Kotoko Iwanaga's incredulous expression after being exposed, Asagiri glanced down at her and pointed to Kotoko Iwanaga's other hand that was already pressed against his abdomen.
"I was pinched on the face, not the stomach. What are you doing with that hand? I'm asking you a question."
Kotoko Iwanaga spoke with righteous indignation and stern words.
"Touch your abs."
Asagiri chuckled and countered with a question.
"Asuna even has abs, why don't you touch hers?"
"what……"
Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki looked disgusted and repeatedly refused.
"Forget it, I don't have any weird fetish for being touched by a cute little girl."
"Tch, I wouldn't touch you even if you begged me."
Kotoko Iwanaga also looked disgusted and immediately retorted.
"Only my boyfriend's body can make me feel warm!"
Kato Megumi said calmly, "From a physiological point of view, the part that makes you feel warm must be a certain special part of your body."
Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki was taken aback for a moment, then blushed and said...
"Hui, how did you catch Qinluzi's infection too? Be normal, don't make me the only normal person in the team, please."
……
More than four hours later, in the parking lot next to the train station in Hakodate, Hokkaido.
"My dear boyfriend, I'm counting on you to drive!"
Seeing the black Bentley parked there, and a man in a black suit and black sunglasses standing there with car keys in his hands, clearly having been waiting for a long time, Asuna Yuuki didn't know where to begin her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).
"Wait a minute, how can he drive without a license?"
Kotoko Iwanaga shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.
"Isn't it enough to just drive it? The villa isn't far from here."
"but……"
Asuna Yuuki looked at the black Bentley with a complicated expression.
"Driving such an expensive car... isn't it a bit too conspicuous?"
"Hmm? Is this car very expensive?"
Kotoko Iwanaga tilted her head, looking slightly puzzled.
"I just mentioned to my parents that I hoped they could help me get a car in Hakodate as a means of transportation. I didn't make any special requests, so they probably just arranged one randomly."
Just how rich is your family...?
At this moment, Asagiri walked over and took the car keys from the man in the suit. After completing his task, the man in the suit bowed slightly to Kotoko Iwanaga.
"Then I won't bother you any longer, Miss."
Immediately afterwards, the man in the suit turned and left decisively without saying a word.
"Alright, alright, let's go!"
Kotoko Iwanaga waved her little hand, eager to try.
"Our three-day, two-night beach trip has officially begun!"
101
Chapter 101 A Wonderful Experiment by the Sea.
Half an hour later, on a private beach in Hakodate City.
Looking at the two-story detached villa in front of them, and the golden beach where there were no other houses in sight except for this one villa, Asuna Yuuki and Megumi Kato couldn't help but sigh again.
Just how rich is your family...?
"They wouldn't call themselves particularly wealthy, but they certainly can't compare to the Shinomiya Group."
Upon hearing Kotoko Iwanaga's words, Asuna Yuuki was at a loss for words.
It's not normal that we can't compete with the Shinomiya Group...
After all, in terms of financial resources alone, it is the number one family business in Sakura Province. The fact that Iwanaga Kotoko immediately thought of comparing herself to the Shinomiya Group is enough to prove how wealthy her family is.
"It's mainly because my parents are quite lenient with me. As long as it's a reasonable request, they will fulfill it, for example..."
Kotoko Iwanaga ran over and hugged Asagiri's arm, smiling broadly.
"My first date at the beach with my dear boyfriend—that's a perfectly reasonable request!"
Yuuki Asuna hesitated upon hearing this.
"This villa...could it have been bought on the spot?"
"How could that be?"
Before Yuuki Asuna and Kato Mesumatsu could even catch their breath after hearing Kotoko Iwanaga's answer, they heard her add with a laugh.
"However, my family owns properties in every city in Sakura Prefecture. Hakodate is a coastal city and doesn't have as many people as Yokohama, so it's considered a resort destination. I think we have more than just this villa; my parents probably have two or three properties here too? I can't remember exactly, but it doesn't matter~"
Kotoko Iwanaga reached out and grabbed Asagiri's coat, startling Asagiri.
"Hey, little girl, what are you doing? Megumi and Asuna are still standing there, aren't you being way too horny?!"
"Take it off! Take it off now, I want to see what you look like in your swim trunks!"
"I don't really care, but!"
Asagiri gently grasped Iwanaga Kotoko's fair wrist and said with a soft laugh.
"This is the first time I've seen you in a swimsuit, and it's the first time I've seen you in a swimsuit either. Don't you think a perfect debut would be made in bright sunshine? It's dark now, and it might leave an imperfect impression."
Kotoko Iwanaga nodded after hearing this, her expression thoughtful.
"Hmm, that seems to make sense. Okay then, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Upon seeing this, Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but smile and whispered.
"We haven't had dinner yet, everyone must be hungry, right? Is there any food in the villa? I'll go cook..."
"Wait a moment."
Asagiri interrupted Asuna Yuuki's words with a smile.
"There's something I need your help with. I haven't used 'Blood Burst' since I acquired it last time, so I'm not sure what level my physical abilities would reach after using this skill. I need you to come and experiment with me..."
"What!?"
Kotoko Iwanaga looked shocked upon hearing this, then her face flushed red, and she turned her head away and whispered.
"I don't mind doing the experiment with you... but four people together... that's just too embarrassing..."
Yuuki Asuna looked speechless, reached out and gently tapped Iwanaga Kotoko's head, saying irritably.
"What are you thinking? Any normal person could tell that Asagiri is saying she wants to test out her new skill through sparring, right? Can you please stop spouting all this weird, lewd nonsense from your head? Asagiri, you agree, don't you..."
Asuna Yuuki looked at Asagiri halfway through her sentence, hoping to gain her approval and support. However, to her surprise, Asagiri looked as if she had just realized something and exclaimed in sudden enlightenment.
"That's right, how come I didn't think of that? The effects of experimental skills don't necessarily have to be in combat; they can be used in other ways too."
Asuna Yuuki sighed helplessly, "So you're finally coming to your senses here?"
Then, blushing, she whispered.
"Let me make this clear first, it's impossible for me... impossible for me to accompany you to do experiments at a time like that..."
Kotoko Iwanaga also looked troubled and seemed to be deep in thought.
"My physical condition is a bit weak. Even in his normal state, Asagiri would have a hard time holding on. If he uses 'Blood Burst' and combines it with the enhancement of the Human Asura... I'm afraid my life will be in danger..."
"Eh?"
Sensing the change in atmosphere, Kato Megumi, who had been scrolling through her phone, looked up and met the gazes of Iwanaga Kotoko, Yuuki Asuna, and Asagiri, her face blank and out of sorts.
"Me? You want me to play?"
……
The final result, of course, was not to let Kato Megumi take the stage, but for her and Yuuki Asuna to team up and have a spar with Asagiri, so that her opponent could test the effect of "blood burst".
As for Kotoko Iwanaga, she sat on a beach chair to watch the game, acting as a referee.
"1, 2, 3..."
Kotoko Iwanaga quickly lowered her raised right hand, looking on with anticipation for a show.
"start!"
The moment Kotoko Iwanaga shouted "Start," Asuna Yuuki drew her Flashing Light and charged toward Asagiri, while Megumi Kato took out her newly acquired weapon, the "Weeping Nightingale Bow," intending to take this opportunity to practice her new stealthy archer combat style.
But what happened next was completely unexpected.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The veins in Asagiri's neck began to throb, and the sound of her heartbeat became as clear as a roar.
The next second, Yuuki Asuna only felt a fleeting afterimage before her eyes. When Asagiri's figure became clear again, she was already less than two meters away from him.
"So fast!"
Asuna Yuuki's pupils contracted in shock. She wanted to stab Asagiri with the flashing light, but at this moment, the speed difference between the two was too obvious. Asagiri's movements were even faster than the thought that appeared in her mind.
"boom!!!"
Asuna Yuuki's body flew backward more than ten meters away and crashed heavily onto the soft sand. Even at full speed, thanks to the amazing defensive power gained from her "Shining Blade" passive skill, she still felt like her body was about to fall apart, as if she had been hit by a speeding truck.
Meanwhile, Kato Megumi, who was in the distance, had not expected this to happen. She had been pondering how to ensure that her arrows would not accidentally injure Yuuki Asuna if Yuuki Asuna and Asagiri were locked in close combat.
That's good, now there's absolutely no possibility of accidental injury.
The Weeping Nightingale Bow appears to be made of some kind of ebony, with dark red patterns carved on its body, giving it an eerie and luxurious feel. The arrows that come with this weapon are also made of jet-black ebony.
Kato Megumi nocked a black arrow, aimed at Asagiri a dozen meters away, and shot it without hesitation.
The black arrow seemed to be imbued with some special power, flying silently towards Asagiri's chest.
"Den!"
Kato Megumi originally thought that Asagiri would dodge her arrow, but to her utter surprise, Asagiri actually caught the flying arrow with one hand and then threw it to the ground.
"Alright, let's end this sparring session here."
Asagiri said this with a smile, then walked up to Yuuki Asuna, who had just stood up, and asked her with concern.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"rest assured."
Asuna Yuuki patted the grit off her clothes, noticed the worry and concern in Asagiri's eyes, and gently smiled to comfort her.
"I'm not that fragile, don't underestimate me."
"Ah That's good."
Asagiri first replied with a smile, then seemed to be thinking.
"However, the effect of 'Blood Burst' is stronger than I expected. If the enhancement of the Human Asura is ten points, then the enhancement of physical attributes by 'Blood Burst' is eight or even nine points."
