Chapter 214

“You big bad guy, can you please not put me into the pet space?” Unable to go with her mother, Yui compromised and wanted some freedom. Although she was asleep in the pet space, it was definitely better than being able to move around outside.

　　”Can you behave?” I occasionally let Yui out instead of letting her sleep in the pet space, but it’s definitely not as free as Suigintou’s.

　　”Um… I’ll try my best?” Yui replied weakly, her eyes darting around.

　　”Okay, I’ll try to consider it.” Yui’s face lit up when she heard the first part of my sentence, but her face fell when she heard the second part.

　　”You big bad guy, you’re bullying me.” Yui pouted and tugged at my hair. Her mood had been fluctuating like a rollercoaster, even though she had never actually ridden one and had only seen it in video footage.

　　”Otherwise what? You think you can get something for free, Yui?” Holding the Mercury Lamp in my arms, I walked out of the city. Along the way, I could see many players leaving one after another. It must be because Sakuya had finished explaining the situation of this operation, and the players who had gathered left.

　　”Hmm… I know. At most, I’ll go back into the game when you want me to do something bad. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I’ll listen to you, you big bad guy.”

　　After some deliberation, Yui came up with a solution that she found more acceptable. Now that a major problem in Alo has been resolved, her login time may be reduced, which is quite bad for her, as she spends most of her time in the game.

　　”You want me to do bad things, Yui? Am I that bad?” I rubbed my chin against Suigintou’s head, the fresh scent of the silver-haired loli’s hair filling my senses.

　　Yui tilted her head and thought about what had happened since leaving Sao, then the black-haired loli nodded firmly and said, “Yes.”

　　”Alright, I’ll agree to your request for now.” I stopped teasing Yui. Actually, even if Yui hadn’t brought it up, I would have lifted the restrictions on her activities in the real world soon anyway.

　　”Yay, that’s great!” The little black-haired girl happily raised her hands, her slender bare legs swaying back and forth, her little feet sticking up happily.

　　”Since you’re so happy, Yui, could you give me, your number one hero, a reward, like a kiss on the cheek?” Yui, all excited, swayed on my shoulder. If she weren’t in figure form, it would probably be quite nice.

　　”Huh? No, you big bad guy, you’re trying to take advantage of me.” Yui was taken aback at first, then shook her head like a rattle-drum.

　　”Yui, you’re so small now, I don’t have much of a desire to take advantage of you.” At the very least, you need to return to your normal loli size when we first met, otherwise, the size of the figure now means I can only look at it, and at most touch it a couple of times, and even then, only with my fingers.

　　”But Mom said we should always be wary of you, you big bad guy.” Yui touched her lips with her finger, recalling Asuna’s words, “Mom said you’re a big bad guy who doesn’t discriminate between meat and vegetables, so we can’t be careless.”

　　”Isn’t this word used to describe someone who isn’t picky about food? Why would Mom use this word to warn me about you, you big bad guy?” Yui could understand the literal meaning of “not being picky about food,” but she couldn’t understand what Asuna was trying to say.

　　”Could it be that you’re actually a big bad guy who eats people?” Yui’s contact with the real world mainly comes from information, and her familiarity with it is still quite different from that of the game world. Eating people is a common setting in the game world, but it is mainly used for monsters.

　　“Congratulations, you guessed right.” I raised one hand and grabbed Yui, who was sitting on my shoulder, and opened my mouth to say to her, “Now I’m going to eat you up, little Yui.”

　　I had just left the city and arrived in a quiet forest, which, combined with my low voice, actually made it quite fitting.

　　Yui, who was being held in someone’s hand, blinked. It wasn’t until the big mouth gradually approached her that the black-haired little girl realized, “Wow, you big bad guy, you’re not really going to do this, are you? After dealing with the boss on the surface, the boss behind the scenes is about to show his true colors.”

　　Yui’s little hands pushed against my lips, and the little girl’s hands pressed against my lips, which was more like a massage than a resistance.

　　”Yui, where did you get these plot points from?” There was actually some truth to what Yui said; at least it didn’t seem wrong to pin the mastermind on me.

　　”I remember seeing it in a comic book, where the mastermind behind the scenes would suddenly turn against the main character after the apparent boss was dealt with, killing the protagonist’s allies to make his official debut.”

　　Yui explained to me in a serious tone, and the more she talked, the more likely it seemed to be true. She struggled harder, as if she would be devoured if she didn’t escape my grasp.

　　”Alright, Yui, if you keep struggling like this, I’ll feel bad if I don’t eat you.” I shut my mouth and nudged Yui’s small body with my face. When it comes to eating, it’s the kind of “eating” that Asuna mentioned, which includes both meat and vegetables, not actual eating.

　　”You mean you won’t eat me, you big bad guy?” Yui stopped struggling for a moment, but you could tell from her eyes that the little girl was still wary.

　　”I’m not a cannibal, okay? Yui, don’t overthink it.” I shook Yui’s right hand a couple of times, annoyed. “Besides, Yui, with your small body, you wouldn’t even be big enough to fill a tooth gap.”

　　”Ugh, you big bad guy, you still eat people after all. It’s just that I’m too small to do it.” Yui waved her little hand. “Then I’ll have to think carefully about turning back into my original size in front of you next time, you big bad guy.”

　　”If you say that again, I’m really going to bite you. It wouldn’t be so bad to put such a cute little loli like you in my mouth and lick you for a bit.” After saying that, I even stuck out my tongue and licked my lips in cooperation.

　　”No, that’s disgusting, you big bad guy, you’re bullying me!” Just hearing about Yui’s small body made me tremble, as if my tongue had licked her.

　　”If you don’t want it, what should you say, Yui?” I brought Yui’s hand back to my lips, and at this distance I could smell the little girl’s very faint fragrance.

　　”Waaah…” The situation was beyond her control, and the strong-willed Yui had no choice but to temporarily bow her head to the evil forces. “I was wrong.”

　　”It’s good that you know you’re wrong. Don’t overthink things in the future.” I raised my index finger and patted Xiaojie’s head.

　　”You know I was thinking the wrong thing, you big bad guy, and you still deliberately misled me.” Yui perfectly illustrates how one wrong step leads to another, but can she be entirely blamed? Someone else’s misleading remarks also played a significant role.

　　”Alright, I’ll have Sakuya make you some desserts as compensation when we get back, is that alright?” Little girls like Yui have little resistance to sweets, so she quite liked the desserts Sakuya made.

　　”Really?” Yui’s eyes lit up, but then she thought that might make her seem too easy to deal with, so the little girl coughed and continued, “Does that mean I can really move freely in the real world?”

　　“It’s fine at home, but if you’re going out, I’d better have Sakuya accompany you. I’m worried that you might be deceived, Yui.” As for the other person at home, the goddess Ishtar, if she takes Yui with her, there’s definitely no need to worry about her safety, but other aspects are hard to say. She might just lead Yui astray.

　　”With you, this big bad guy, by my side, why should I worry about other bad guys?” Yui muttered to herself. Because of someone’s presence, she didn’t seem to be too worried about this aspect. Was this a sense of security? Yui certainly wouldn’t agree with that.

　　“Indeed, with me here, Xiaoyi’s personal safety is definitely guaranteed.” The little girl’s muttering was very soft, but I still heard it.

　　”Ugh… Don’t say anymore, let’s go back quickly.” Yui didn’t want to talk about this anymore, so she urged them on.

　　”OK, OK.” The matter of freeing the people trapped in the game was settled, which is why I didn’t log off with the girls.

　　As soon as I finished speaking, my figure and the two little girls disappeared into the quiet forest.

　　”In conclusion, Yui is now a full member of our family.” After Alo logged off, Suigintou and I returned to the real world, and Yui appeared immediately as well.

　　Having completed the World Tree raid, it’s getting late. However, neither Sakuya nor Ishtar are in bed yet, so I gathered them together and briefly explained Yui’s situation to them.

　　Sakuya and Ishtar had met Yui before. Although they hadn’t spent much time together, they were familiar with each other, so they weren’t surprised by this. Ishtar even showed an expression that said, “I knew it.”

　　”Please take good care of me, everyone.” Yui bowed politely to Sakuya and Ishtar. Although she had some reservations about joining this family, it goes without saying who was the main reason. The others, like the lazy older sister, the responsible older sister, and the aloof younger sister, were all quite nice.

　　After formally introducing Yui to Ishtar and the others, I instructed Sakuya to prepare some sweets for the black-haired little girl, and then patted Suigintou’s head to let her stay at home. I then used teleportation to go directly to the private office of the medical institution.

　　In the medical institution, only the female director of the institution usually has a key to enter my office, so when I teleported here, the office was completely dark.

　　I turned on the office lights, went to my desk, and picked up the medical facility’s built-in phone. The senior executive on duty at this time should be Ms. Ju Ying. Remembering the relevant person in charge, I made a call.

　　During the phone call, I mainly inquired about the situation of the game players who had not yet been rescued. Sakura Miki was not surprised by my sudden appearance; as a high-ranking member of the medical institution, she was already used to my unpredictable movements.

　　In response to my question, Miki Izakura gave me a brief explanation of the situation. Not long ago tonight, most of the players who were still trapped in the game had woken up one by one, and some of those with poor health had also woken up with the careful help of medical staff.

　　Medical staff are now informing the players’ families that they have woken up and that further tests will be required.

　　”I understand, that’s well done. I’ll leave the scheduling to you from now on.” I’ve roughly learned about the situation from Izakura Miki, and so far, it seems that the awakened players are all doing well.

　　”It’s no trouble at all, it’s what I should do.” Sakura Miki was very satisfied with working at this medical institution. The salary and benefits were good, and she was able to access advanced medical technology. She really had nothing to complain about, and besides, this was her job.

　　After finishing my conversation with Miki Izakura, I hung up the phone. Now it was time to get down to business.

　　”Phew… this incident is finally over.” After logging off, she inquired about the situation from the female doctor at the hospital and even went to check on the players’ condition herself. Only after finding that the players were starting to wake up did she return to her ward and call her parents to inform them of the situation.

　　Asuna placed her slender hand on her forehead. Her father and mother should be rushing back to the company to handle related matters by now. She hoped that the aftermath of the incident would be handled smoothly.

　　Just as Asuna was pondering whether she could help her parents with the aftermath of the incident, a knock sounded at the door. The flaxen-haired girl got out of bed. Who could it be? Could it be that something had happened to the awakened players and the female doctor had come to tell her, or was it that her father or mother had come to the hospital to check on them?

　　As Asuna guessed who it was, she walked to the door of the ward. She looked through the peephole and found an unexpected person standing outside.

　　Flaxen quickly opened the door, looked around and, finding nothing had changed, pulled the person standing outside into the ward, then closed the door.

　　”Asuna, why are you in such a hurry to bring me in? Is it because…” The person knocking on Asuna’s hospital room door was naturally me. More important than the players’ condition after waking up was definitely seeing Asuna. After all, if it were just the former, I could have just called from home to ask. There was no need to come in person.

　　”No, there’s no problem!” Asuna knew without a doubt that what followed wouldn’t be anything nice. “Don’t you know what time it is? Why are you here so late?”

　　”Asuna, you haven’t forgotten that the players who are still trapped are receiving treatment in my medical facility, have you?”

　　”Of course I haven’t forgotten that…” Only then did Asuna realize that the other party was not only the boss of a large corporation but also the person in charge of this medical institution. It seemed quite reasonable for him to come and see the awakened players. However, “I asked what you’re doing here in the middle of the night!?”

　　”Let’s come over here and ask about the players who woke up, and also check on you, Asuna.” I walked smoothly to the bedside table, picked up a clean glass, and poured some water.

　　”I think the former is just a side effect.” Asuna didn’t need to think much to know that the two had definitely been reversed.

　　”Bingo, you got it right, Asuna, do you want a reward?” I took a sip of water, and sure enough, it wasn’t as good as the water from Asuna’s thermos last time.

　　”No, your leaving quickly is the best reward for me.” A reward? Nine times out of ten, it wouldn’t be a reward for her; it would be more like a punishment.

　　”Since we’re already here, how can we leave so soon?” I took a couple of sips of water and sat down by Asuna’s bedside. “By the way, Asuna, you should have told your parents about the resolution of the Sugou incident, right?”

　　Upon hearing this, Asuna gave a knowing look and replied, “I already said that. I just spoke with my mother on the phone not long ago.”

　　”That’s good.” After saying that, I looked Asuna up and down. The girl with long flaxen hair was wearing a light pink long-sleeved cotton pajama. Although the long-sleeved cotton pajama did not accentuate the girl’s figure well, Asuna’s well-developed chest, which was considered good for her age, could not be completely covered.

　　”What do you want to do!?” Noticing my gaze, Asuna immediately crossed her arms and assumed a wary stance.

　　”Don’t worry, I don’t intend to do anything strange.” I shook my head to reassure the girl. “It’s just that you went through a battle tonight, and I was thinking of giving you a massage to help you relax.”

　　”No, no need. Leave the massage to the women in your household. I’d rather not do it.” Asuna refused decisively. It wasn’t that she hadn’t been massaged before, but that was precisely why she refused. The feeling was too strange, so strange that it felt like she was doing *that* kind of thing.

　　Even though she had never done that kind of thing in real life, the strange feeling of comfort alone was enough for Asuna to refuse.

　　”Really? Then I’ll give you a massage.” I nodded thoughtfully. What Asuna meant was that if I didn’t massage Asuna this time and saved it for when I massaged Kyoko Yuuki next time, wouldn’t that mean Asuna was unintentionally helping me and her mother get together?

　　”Didn’t I say I didn’t want it?” Asuna covered her chest with her hands and took a step back.

　　”Huh? I didn’t say I wanted to ask Asuna’s opinion.” I gave Asuna a strange look, as if to say, “What are you talking about?”

　　”I…” Asuna recalled that the other person had indeed only considered whether or not to give her a massage, without asking if she needed it.

　　“How about this, Asuna, I’ll give you a choice: I’ll give you a massage, or…” I paused, then shifted my gaze to my crotch, “you can give me a massage.”

　　Asuna followed the other person’s gaze downwards and immediately understood what “massage” meant. “How am I supposed to choose?!”

　　”Of course I’ll choose whichever you like, Asuna. I don’t mind whichever one you choose.” I sat comfortably on the bed, waiting for Asuna’s answer.

　　”I don’t like either of them.” If she really had a choice, Asuna would definitely not choose either of them, but she obviously didn’t have a choice, since she had already chosen the latter option.

　　If forced to choose between these two, Asuna could only choose the former: “Are you sure you won’t do anything inappropriate during the massage?”

　　”I gave you a massage before, Asuna, didn’t I? Did I do anything inappropriate?” I shrugged and used the last time I massaged Asuna as an example.

　　You didn’t do anything inappropriate, but is that the kind of strange feeling a normal massage should have? Asuna doesn’t believe a normal massage would have that kind of strange feeling.

　　The flaxen-haired girl was thinking this, but she didn’t say it aloud. Saying it would be the same as admitting that she had experienced a strange feeling during the last massage, and knowing her as she did, he would probably be able to guess what that strange feeling was just by hearing it.

　　”You’d better keep your word.” Asuna took a deep breath, thinking that if she was careful this time, things shouldn’t turn out the same way as last time.

　　I gave Asuna an OK sign, then stood up and stepped aside, extending my palms towards the center of the bed in a gesture of invitation.

　　Asuna hesitated repeatedly, wondering whether it would be better to lie face up or face down. Generally, massages are done with your back to the massager, but if you lie face down, you can’t see what’s behind you. If you lie face up, it’s a bit embarrassing, and it seems more dangerous to lie face up to certain areas.

　　In the end, Asuna chose to lie down with her back to the bed as usual. The girl with long flaxen hair came to the bedside, took off her cotton slippers, raised her legs and placed her knees against the edge of the bed. She did the same with her other foot. Her fair and rosy soles and her small, round toes were slightly curled upwards.

　　After getting into bed, Asuna quickly lay down in the middle of the bed, resting her chin on the soft pillow. Her legs were pressed together in tension. “That’s enough. If you’re going to massage, hurry up and finish quickly.”

　　”There’s no rush when it comes to massages.” I first placed my hands on Asuna’s shoulders and began to gently massage the areas that are most frequently touched.

　　The massage had only just begun when Asuna felt her tense body relax considerably. She had to admit that the massage technique was indeed very good, but she couldn’t let her guard down; this was just the beginning.

　　Despite what Asuna thought, as the massage continued, her body became more and more relaxed, and her vigilance gradually decreased with the soothing sensation. By the time the massage reached her waist, she couldn’t help but squint her eyes and enjoy it.

　　During this time, I didn’t make a sound. I pressed from her shoulders to her waist. I could tell her reaction from the tension in her body. Her legs, which were originally tightly closed, gradually loosened. I skipped her buttocks to avoid stimulating her and placed my hands on her legs.

　　Asuna’s thighs are quite fleshy, although they are still somewhat different from those of mature women. However, the relatively firm feel is one of the different charms between a young girl and a mature woman.

　　Following my hand down the girl’s thigh, I pinched her bouncy calves. Even through her light pink cotton pajama pants, I could feel the elasticity of her calves. The feeling would be even better if I could touch them with my own hands.

　　After pressing on Asuna’s calves for about ten minutes, I finally reached the end, where the girl’s bare feet were. Judging from Asuna’s increasingly even breathing, she was probably about to fall asleep, so I touched her feet very gently.

　　My fingers pressed against Asuna’s soft soles. Touching her bare feet, the girl’s toes instinctively curled inwards. “Then…there…you don’t need to…press there…”

　　Asuna’s voice was like a soft murmur; it was clear that the girl hadn’t come out of her sleepy state, but had only made a sound in her drowsy state because her foot had been touched.

　　”It’s alright, I’ve been very proper before, and I won’t do anything wrong when massaging your feet.” I replied softly as well, not knowing whether Asuna listened or gave up because she knew she couldn’t stop me, because at this moment my hands had already begun to massage her delicate feet.

　　I gently pressed my two thumbs on Asuna’s soft soles. Since the girl was about to fall asleep, I didn’t choose to press any acupoints that were too stimulating, and I used a light touch to give her a soothing massage.

　　Asuna was quite mentally exhausted from the intense battles in the game today. She was about to go to sleep after finishing her business when someone came over in the middle of the night.

　　Now, being massaged so comfortably, waves of drowsiness washed over her. She could still try to stay awake when her feet were touched, but soon, with the soothing massage rhythm, drowsiness surged up again, and Asuna couldn’t stay awake any longer. Her last thought before falling asleep was: “So, the massage last time was done on purpose.”

　　I pressed my fingers down Asuna’s soles to her toes, gently kneading each of her round, delicate toes. I pressed my fingertips against the base of her toes and slowly pulled them back, stretching them gently across the toes.

　　The flaxen-haired girl was already asleep, but I didn’t stop what I was doing. I just lightened the pressure a little, making it more like a caress than a massage.

　　I stretched each of Asuna’s two jade-like feet and ten beautiful toes, then stroked her soles and arches again, slowly circling her tender red heels.

　　I stopped massaging Asuna’s bare lotus feet for about twenty minutes. The entire massage lasted about fifty minutes, and Asuna fell asleep about halfway through.

　　Sleeping on her stomach wasn’t good, so I gently helped the girl turn over. I placed my hands on Asuna’s arms and used gentle pressure to slowly turn her over.

　　The girl’s pretty face showed signs of sleepiness, indicating that the massage was working well. Her well-developed breasts rose and fell slightly with her breathing. I glanced at the empty space on the bed, touched my chin, and made a new decision.

　　Amid the joy of the still-trapped players’ relatives knowing their loved ones were over, and the busy management of Alo Company handling the aftermath, the night passed by just like that.

　　”Hmm…” The morning sunlight streamed into the ward, and the sleeping girl gradually woke up. She had slept so well last night, the most comfortable night’s sleep she had had in a while. Was it because she had resolved the troubling matter?

　　Thinking about this, Asuna considered whether she should take a rare nap, since the warm feeling beside her was quite comfortable, like winter sunshine streaming into a room…

　　Wait a minute, the windows in this ward don’t let in sunlight in the morning, and even if they did, it wouldn’t reach the bed. And the warmth beside her doesn’t seem to be caused by a blanket or anything like that. Remembering what happened last night, Asuna’s body stiffened as if she had just thought of something.

　　The girl had some idea of ​​her current situation, but she hadn’t given up hope yet. Maybe she was wrong? Although she knew the person well enough to be almost certain she wasn’t wrong, what if she was?

　　Clinging to a sliver of hope, the flaxen-haired girl moved her slender hand slightly to sense the “object” she was embracing. Judging from the touch, it was almost certain that she was embracing a person rather than a blanket or something similar.

　　As for who this person is, the answer is obvious. Who else could it be but the person who came over last night to forcibly massage her? Thinking of this, Asuna wanted to immediately pull her arms and legs away from the other person, but she was afraid that the movement would wake the other person up.

　　At this moment, in addition to her delicate hand resting on the other person’s body, the girl’s leg was also raised and hitting the other person’s leg. Such an unladylike sleeping posture was rare for the girl, and it must be because she was still half asleep last night.

　　To avoid being discovered, Asuna had to gently retract her hands and feet. The girl first slightly opened her eyes, and the situation was exactly as she had expected. She observed for a moment and realized that the other party should not have woken up, so she began to act.

　　Starting with something simpler, Asuna slowly raised her right hand, moving her arm away from the other person’s upper body. Slowly… slowly… Good, Asuna breathed a slight sigh of relief after successfully raising her right hand.

　　Next came the leg lift. Since the leg was larger and heavier than the hand, Asuna was even more careful. The girl’s slender legs gradually lifted, starting from the ankles to leave the other person’s body. Good, still no problem.

　　The success of lifting her feet and ankles reassured Asuna considerably. All that remained were her calves and thighs. Once her calves were lifted as well, Asuna was about to speed up her movements and lift her legs completely when a voice abruptly interrupted her.

　　”Asuna, what are you doing? Are you going to hug me? If you are, there’s no need to be so careful. I’d be happy to be your body pillow.” I woke up when Asuna quietly touched me with her hand, but I pretended to be asleep because I saw her little actions.

　　”How could that be! I was just trying to pull my hands and feet back.” Now that the other person was awake, Asuna simply pulled her right leg back quickly.

　　”Oh? So, when you were sleeping, Asuna, you…” I looked meaningfully at the flaxen-haired girl, the implication of which was self-evident.

　　”I…I…” Asuna knew that she had been exposed. She didn’t want this to happen. She didn’t know why she hugged the pillow after falling asleep. She had never had the habit of hugging a pillow to sleep at home before.

　　”I understand. After all, I’ve always given people a great sense of security, especially women.” Seeing Asuna open her mouth to explain but not knowing how to say it, I offered her a reason.

　　”Huh? A sense of security? Especially for women!?” Asuna’s orange eyes widened. Such a shameless statement… it really sounded like something the other person would say. “What a joke, it’s just because I didn’t know you were sleeping in my bed, so I was less vigilant and that’s why I acted that way.”

　　”And why are you sleeping here!” Asuna said this, she sat up and checked her body. Her pajamas looked normal and didn’t seem to have been taken off. She didn’t feel anything unusual on the rest of her body, especially her feet.

　　This reassured Asuna a lot. She shouldn’t have been subjected to those things last night, otherwise, if that stuff came out and dried on her skin, she would definitely feel a little strange.

　　Seeing Asuna’s actions, I knew what the girl was worried about. I turned around and faced the flaxen-haired girl directly, saying, “Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything after the massage last night. I just slept here. Asuna, the fact that you’re hugging me isn’t my doing either.”

　　”So why did you sleep in my bed?” Asuna ignored the second half of the sentence. Even if she had accidentally hugged him in her sleep, she would never admit it.

　　“It was quite late after I finished massaging you, Asuna last night. I saw there were still plenty of empty spaces on your bed, so I took a nap here. With our relationship, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to take a nap, right?”

　　”I already said I didn’t need a massage, and what do you mean by ‘based on our relationship’? Don’t talk nonsense.” Asuna gave me a cold look. “Our relationship in the game is one thing, and our relationship in real life is another. Don’t confuse the two.”

　　”Really? I think Asuna, you helped me with that…” I raised my right hand and made a masturbation gesture, but Asuna, embarrassed and annoyed, quickly slapped it down.

　　”That was because of Yui, there was no other meaning at all.” Asuna knew that the other party was definitely saying that on purpose. How could she not remember the specific reason?

　　Thinking of this, Asuna decided not to say anything more. The flaxen-haired girl reached out and pushed the jerk who was still lying on the bed, saying, “No matter what the reason, get down here first. What will you say if the nurse sees you like this?”

　　”But I want to sleep a little longer. I went to bed too late last night.” I didn’t get up immediately, looking like I wanted to stay in bed a little longer.

　　Just as the girl herself said, Asuna didn’t say much. She simply raised her leg and kicked me in the waist with her bare foot. After thinking for a moment, I took Asuna’s kick head-on. Before being kicked off the bed, I even touched her smooth instep.

　　”Asuna, you’re too ruthless. If I weren’t so skilled, I might have been seriously injured.” I dusted off my clothes, stood up, and said to Asuna.

　　”That would be for the best.” Asuna couldn’t possibly not feel her foot being touched, so the girl’s tone was fierce, wishing that what the other person said would come true, so that she might be harassed less.

　　”Hmm, if it turns out like that, I’ll definitely need you, Asuna, to take responsibility for taking care of me.” I stroked my chin and gave Asuna a meaningful look, as if imagining the wonderful life of being taken care of by a girl.

　　”Dream on.” The possibility was actually quite high. Asuna was somewhat grateful for someone’s excellent skills at this moment, although most of the time she was furious about it.

　　”Asuna, do you mean I can go back to sleep in your bed for another nap?”

　　”Dream on. Get out of here now. Don’t let anyone see you showing up in my room first thing in the morning. It would be terrible if people guessed you’d been in my room all night.”

　　Asuna quickly got out of bed, put on her slippers, came over, took my hand, and headed towards the door. I didn’t object and obediently followed Asuna.

　　When we reached the door, Asuna stopped, turned around, pointed at me with her slender finger, then put it to her lips and pulled it, making a zipping motion to signal me to be quiet.

　　After I nodded to indicate that I understood, the flaxen-haired girl leaned close to the cat’s eyes by the door. She needed to check the situation outside first, just in case a nurse or doctor happened to be passing by.

　　The girl leaned forward slightly so that her eyes could reach the cat’s eyes. Her slender waist was slightly bent, and her round buttocks were slightly raised under her pink cotton pajama pants.

　　Asuna’s pose makes me want to reach out and pat her round little bottom or just take off her pajama pants, pin her against the door, and unleash a furious attack from behind. However, the latter is just a thought for now, and I’ll have to think about it another time.

　　After looking through the peephole for a while and confirming that she didn’t see anyone, Asuna quickly opened the door and looked around again, but still didn’t see any staff members from the medical facility.

　　Taking advantage of the moment, Asuna quickly grabbed the hand of the person behind her and pulled them forward, then pushed their back and said, “Hurry up.”

　　”See you next time, Asuna.” Asuna pushed me out of the ward. To be honest, it felt pretty good to have the girl hold my hand and push me out of the room. It would have been even better if she had pushed me into the room instead of pushing me out.

　　”Never again.” After seeing me out, Asuna immediately returned to her ward and closed the door, as if afraid that someone would know that I had come from her room.

　　I shrugged and returned to my private office. Sitting in my office chair, I made another call to inquire about the condition of the players who had woken up last night. This time, the person in charge had been replaced by the female director, Natsuki Osamu.

　　I learned from Natsuki Oharu that all the players have woken up and their relatives have been notified. As long as they pass another round of medical examinations, they can apply for discharge.

　　Just as I was about to hang up, Natsuki Oharu received a call. The female dean glanced at the caller ID and asked if I needed to be connected.

　　”Whose call was it?” Natsuki Oharu’s answer suggests it was someone I know who called, and most likely a woman.

　　”It’s Mrs. Yuuki’s call.” Natsuki Osamu’s answer was not beyond my expectations. It was easy to guess why Yuuki Kyoko was calling a medical institution at this time.

　　”Please bring it in.” Natsuki Oharu hummed in response, followed by a busy signal, and then a phone ringtone playing an elegant melody, quite fitting for Yuuki Kyoko’s image as a noblewoman.
