"Is this the full dive device? It feels a bit like a science fiction novel." Kei fiddled with the gaming helmet with a curious expression.
"Um..."
"I heard that after putting it on, the gaming helmet intercepts brainwaves, and during that time, you can't control your own body. Is that true?" Kushida was a little worried.
She was afraid that Tenya would act like a beast and take the opportunity to do some things to her body.
Tenya patiently explained, "Don't worry. After that incident, the relevant departments have amended the regulations. Device manufacturers are ordered to set up a security mechanism to protect privacy. For example, when the real body is touched externally, the gaming helmet will force the player's consciousness to exit."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing this, both girls felt relieved.
However, to be honest, this only guards against gentlemen, not against scoundrels. After all, both of them had entered Tenya's room, and if he wanted to do something bad, these two weak girls would be completely unable to resist.
Kei and Kushida both lied down on the bed. Although it was a bit cramped, neither of the two girls was fat, so they could manage. The two girls put on their gaming helmets and quietly waited for the game's loading bar.
"Link Start!"
Starting connection.
The vision in front of the two girls' eyes underwent a bizarre transformation.
An electronic voice sounded in their ears, "Please complete your account registration first."
Following the instructions on the game interface, the two girls each entered their personal information.
"It feels so amazing. Is this really inside the game?"
The scene in front of them changed, and the two girls arrived at a spacious hall.
"You are....Kushida-san?"
"Karuizawa-san?"
The 3D character models of the two girls were close to their original appearances, but the art style was somewhat cartoonish.
"Welcome to Aincrad." Tenya's voice sounded from behind them.
"Yoshida-san, your character is practically a real person." The two girls looked at him, exclaiming in wonder.
"It's amazing, such realistic graphics, and it's just a game."
Kushida took joyful steps, feeling that inside the game, her suppressed body and mind had been released like never before.
"It is indeed a game, it doesn't hurt even if you pinch it." Kei tried to pinch her thigh with her hand and felt no pain.
She couldn't help but think that in this game, she wouldn't have to fear being bullied. All at once, the shackles that had confined her heart for many years were suddenly broken free.
"Game and reality don't necessarily have clear boundaries. Perhaps the reality we are in is just someone else's game, isn't it?" Tenya said meaningfully.
"Why did you suddenly become so philosophical?"
The two girls felt a sense of profoundness they didn't quite understand.
"Let's go. I'll take you to see the scenery of this world." Tenya held one hand of each, and took the two of them flying.
"Wow."
"Can we fly in this game?"
"No."
"Then why can you fly?"
"Because I have game administrator privileges."
"Huh? Isn't that cheating?!"
Despite their complaints, the two girls' attention was quickly drawn to the fantastical scenery before their eyes.
"What a beautiful world!"
"I used to think games were only for shut-ins to indulge in, but it seems I was narrow-minded. I feel like I could live in this world forever." Kei expressed her heartfelt emotion.
"That won't do." Tenya shook his head.
"Why?" Kei asked subconsciously.
"Because I like the Karuizawa in reality." Tenya casually delivered another direct hit to the girl's heart.
"You..."
"Suddenly saying something like that, it's too cunning." Kei's heart instantly went in disarray.
"Yoshida-san, is this how you capture girls?"
As an observer, Kushida couldn't help but admit that Tenya's methods were very clever.
"Yes. Likewise, I also like the Kushida in reality."
Tenya always treated everyone equally, never neglecting one for the other.
"Hehe."
"If Yoshida-san knew the real me, he wouldn't think that way."
Kushida's lips curved upwards, but there was no hint of a smile in her narrowed eyes.
"Two-faced person? Caused a major riot in class?"
From her inner thoughts, Tenya roughly understood her dark past.
Kushida grew up in an environment where her parents constantly argued, and she learned to wear a mask to please others.
During junior high, in order to gain everyone's approval, she forced herself to interact with classmates she disliked, accumulating immense psychological pressure.
To relieve this psychological pressure, she posted complaints about classmates and some terrible secrets online. For example, someone cheating, someone doing 'sugar daddy' activities to chase an idol, and even outrageous rumors of teacher-student relationships causing deaths.
Later, her classmates discovered the information online and collectively condemned Kushida. To protect herself, she then exposed everyone's secrets in one go, ultimately causing the entire class to collapse and leading to a serious incident at the time.
Having been socially ostracized in her hometown, Kushida had no choice but to come to Kyoto alone and enter Advanced Nurturing High School. Being placed in D Class was also because the school saw Kushida's student file, which was full of dark records.
"You..."
"What did you say?!"
Kushida's face instantly changed drastically, as if her most important secret had been discovered.
"Don't be nervous, Kushida. In my opinion, this so-called dark past is simply not a big deal." Tenya patted her shoulder, comforting her kindly.
"Kushida-san's dark past?" Kei, who was beside them, cast a curious gaze.
Being good at reading expressions, she had actually vaguely sensed that Kushida had another unknown side.
"Hmph!"
"Easy for you to say. What do you even know about me?"
Kushida's usual friendly face changed, and her expression became very cold.
"Hmm."
"This is the expression."
"Blackened, cold, and at the same time very fragile. After conquering her, the taste will definitely be exquisite."
Tenya reached out and directly covered her big 'bud' with his hand.
"You, what are you doing?!"
Kushida's eyes widened, and she showed an expression of anger turning into embarrassment.
"Ordinary words won't move you. Classical mechanics is more effective." Tenya smiled playfully.
"Yoshida!"
"You bastard!"
Unable to help but curse, Kushida tapped the game interface and exited the game.
"...."
Kei was completely bewildered by the whole process, totally unable to understand the other party's scandalous actions.
"Um..."
"Kushida-san seems very angry. Aren't you worried at all?" Kei asked cautiously.
"Worried about what?" Tenya retorted.
"Of course, returning to reality. Aren't you afraid that Kushida-san will retaliate against your body?" Kei said.
"Afraid of what? She's already doing it."
Tenya's personal interface popped up a warning: Someone is touching the player's body, please exit the game immediately!
In reality.
"Pervert!"
"Big pervert!"
"I'm going to stomp you to death, you bastard!"
After Kushida's consciousness returned to her body, she immediately took off the gaming helmet. Facing Tenya, who was lying on the sofa still in full dive mode, she couldn't help but fiercely kick him a few times.
"Um..."
"Is this really okay?" Kei looked speechless.
"Letting her vent her anger and relax is fine." Tenya expressed that he didn't care at all.
With Kushida's strength, rather than retaliation, it was more like a petulant tickle.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Peeking into others' secrets so casually, this damned guy."
Kushida punched and kicked at the motionless Tenya, but he didn't react at all. This made her both angry and helpless. Finally, she could only leave Tenya's room dejectedly, carrying a belly full of resentment.
