"Where are we going?"
Seeing Asagiri's slightly puzzled expression, Yuuki Asuna took two steps forward, suppressing her shyness, and hugged his arm directly in front of the school gate where students were coming and going. Then, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Asagiri's ear.
"Come with me to buy clothes, and then we'll go home together tonight."
"Buying clothes...going shopping?"
"Yes."
Seeing Asagiri's apprehensive expression at the mention of shopping, Yuuki Asuna smiled slightly and said softly with a blush on her face.
"If you come shopping with me, as a reward for my handsome boyfriend... tonight, I can wear whatever you pick out... anything is fine."
Asagiri waved her hand without hesitation, her eyes revealing an unprecedented firmness and determination, and said in a resounding voice.
"Okay, let's go."
Asuna Yuuki blushed and said shyly.
"As expected, you get all excited when that's mentioned, don't you? But you're not allowed to buy me... anything too weird..."
"rest assured."
Asagiri nodded earnestly, and then slowly began to speak.
"I assure you, none of the clothes I bought seem strange to me at all."

Chapter 57: The Battle with Asuna.
Later that evening, at Asagiri's house.
"This...this is the 'not strange' clothes you were talking about?"
Asuna Yuuki looked at the cute, light pink apron on the table, and a blush crept onto her face.
"It's just an apron, is that so strange?"
Seeing that Asagiri still looked so self-righteous, Yuuki Asuna was both embarrassed and angry.
“It’s just an apron, that’s not surprising… but you’re asking me to wear nothing else, not even underwear, just this apron… how is that possible…”
Asagiri shrugged and said in a matter-of-fact manner.
There's no one else at home.
"There's no one else here, and we've already... you know what we mean, but..."
Asuna Yuuki's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, and the blush on her face became increasingly pronounced. After a long while, she finally grabbed the apron on the table and said in a defiant tone, "What the hell?"
"Honestly, since you did a good job accompanying me shopping today, I'll reluctantly agree to your request."
Before going into the bedroom to change her clothes, Asuna Yuuki looked at Asagiri standing there and said with a serious expression.
"I'm warning you now, you're not allowed to do anything weird while I'm cooking in this apron."
Asagiri nodded solemnly and gave a serious guarantee.
"Don't worry, absolutely not."
……
Ten minutes later, in the kitchen.
"You... um..."
Asuna Yuuki blushed, tilted her head back slightly, and felt Asagiri gently kissing her delicate, fair neck. She couldn't help but wrap her arms around Asagiri's neck and whispered shyly.
"Didn't we agree... not to do anything reckless...?"
Asagiri stopped kissing, cupped Yuuki Asuna's fair cheeks in her hands, admired her delicate face which held a hint of anger but was mostly shy, and smiled as she spoke.
"You said we shouldn't mess around while cooking, but we haven't even started cooking yet!"
"You...you're using a bug on me here, aren't you?"
"A qualified gamer should look for loopholes in the rules word by word."
As Asagiri spoke, she slipped her hand under Asuna Yuuki's apron.
“Miss Violet, you are still not careful enough.”
"Well……"
Asuna Yuuki's breathing gradually became heavy. Asagiri placed her directly on the marble kitchen counter. The slightly cold touch did not bring her back to her senses; instead, it made her feel even more unbearable.
"Then... let's finish this quickly... I still need to cook..."
……
Two hours later.
"I can't take it anymore... I really can't take it anymore..."
Asuna Yuuki lay on the soft bed, still wearing her light pink apron. Her fair and slender legs trembled weakly, and even her crystal-white toes curled up involuntarily.
She became aware of the horror of the morning mist once again.
The two battleground shifted from the kitchen to the living room, and then from the living room to the bedroom. For a full two hours, Asagiri gave her absolutely no chance to catch her breath.
At first, Asuna Yuuki was thinking that her physical abilities had improved, and perhaps she could compete with Asagiri in a battle of equal strength.
And the final result was...
Lord Utsunomiya Asagiri, I'm sorry I couldn't make you enjoy yourself.
"Let me rest for a while..."
Asuna Yuuki lazily turned around, leaned against Asagiri's arm, stretched out her fair index finger, and gently traced her boyfriend's handsome face, revealing a gentle smile.
"Then I'll go cook for you."
"Need not."
Asagiri first gently kissed Yuuki Asuna's fair forehead, then got up from the bed, dressed, and said with a smile.
"You get some rest, I'll go cook."
"Eh?"
Yuuki Asuna was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Don't you know how to cook?"
"Huh? When did I say I couldn't cook?"
"You can cook? Then why did you say you usually buy lunch from the convenience store when I first came to your house..."
"Because I find it troublesome."
Asuna Yuuki paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
"What an impeccable reason..."
After saying that, Asuna Yuuki suddenly seemed to remember something. Although her body was weak and sore, she still forced herself to sit up from the bed, raised her hand to tidy her long flaxen hair, and said softly with a slightly flushed face.
"Then...shall we cook together?"
"Let's get together again next time. You should get some rest first."
Asagiri placed her hand on Yuuki Asuna's shoulder and chuckled softly.
"After all, there's still the battle tonight."
"Again, again?"
Upon hearing Asagiri say that she would come again that night, Yuuki Asuna's face showed panic, and she begged for mercy in a soft, sweet voice.
"Please spare me... If it's really impossible... If it's really impossible, call Kotoko and ask her to come and relieve me. I really can't go on..."
"Kotoko went to handle the requests from the yokai."
Asagiri shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.
"She said that she now possesses great strength and a complete body, and needs to adapt as soon as possible. So today and tomorrow, she will be handling requests from monsters. She's already showing signs of becoming a battle maniac. She won't be back until Sunday."
"That...that..."
Asuna Yuuki curled up in a ball, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless.
"benefit……"
"Hui went shopping with her sister and mother today."
"Then... the Mitas..."
"To conserve my mental energy, I don't intend to use the Persona's abilities in this situation. What if a battle suddenly breaks out?"
"But... if all else fails, Ashikaga-sensei..."
"I go."
Asagiri was shocked when she heard Yuuki Asuna mention Ashikaga Miwa's name.
"You're being too abstract. How could Ashikaga-sensei have a role in something like this? Are you really desperate and just grabbing at straws?"
"But I really can't go on anymore..."
Yuuki Asuna, who was always competitive and loved to show off, looked weak, pitiful, and helpless at this moment. Tears even welled up in her eyes as she pleaded pitifully.
"Please spare me, it really won't work... Hey, what are you doing now..."
Seeing Asagiri take off her shirt again, Yuuki Asuna looked at the lines of Asagiri's abs and arm muscles. Although she was very tempted, she was powerless to do so.
"You...you're coming again?"
"Seeing your eyes welling up with tears and your pitiful look, I get excited again."
"You...you're a pervert..."
……
after an hour.
"Your cooking is quite delicious."
Asuna Yuuki picked up a piece of stir-fried meat and put it in her mouth. She first smiled and praised it, but then stared at Asagiri sitting opposite her with some annoyance, blushing and whispering.
"But eating your cooking once almost killed me... Let me cook next time..."
"night?"
"Please, don't wait until night, have mercy on me..."
Asuna Yuuki has fully realized just how terrifying Asagiri's strength is.
She alone was no match for the great demon king before her. Even with Kotoko Iwanaga by her side, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
Even though it's already this terrifying, it's still because Asagiri didn't equip the Shura, which means they're holding back.
How terrifying would his full power be?
Faced with an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, Asuna Yuuki felt small and helpless.
To ensure that Lord Utsunomiya Asagiri could have his fill, and also for her own safety, she felt it was time…
Looking for new teammates.
……
Two days later, on Sunday afternoon, in the living room of Asagiri's house.
"It's time to sign up for the next dungeon run."
Asagiri said this first, then looked at the three women in front of her—Iwanaga Kotoko, Kato Megumi, and Yuuki Asuna—and smiled.
"Have you all seen the development direction suggestions prepared by Ashikaga-sensei? Have you decided on the path you want to take in the future?"
I'll focus on control skills.
Kotoko Iwanaga had already made up her mind, and immediately answered Asagiri's question.
"In the last dungeon, if we had a skill that could completely bind the enemy's movements, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. The same goes for the hotel dungeon. Many strange types of enemies cannot be eliminated directly. Our team is not lacking in output, so I will develop control skills to ensure that you can hit the enemy and maximize your output."
"Then I'll develop into a ranged stealth sniper class."
