"Hmm, this is the legendary amusement park. Which one do you want to ride first?"
"that!"
Cute Mita raised her hand and pointed to the Ferris wheel not far away. Then she tilted her cute face up and looked at Kato Megumi, who was holding her left hand, and said cautiously.
"Sister Hui...is it okay?"
"of course."
Faced with Mita's cautious request, Kato Megumi smiled gently and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"Let's go buy tickets together."
Cute Mita nodded vigorously and agreed with a smile.
"Ok!"
After boarding the Ferris wheel, Kato Megumi looked at the adorable Mita, whose hands were pressed against the transparent inner glass and who was excitedly gazing at the scenery outside. She raised her hand to tidy her shoulder-length hair, then placed her hands on her smooth, fair thighs and looked at Asagiri sitting opposite her.
"Utsunomiya-kun, so the thing you asked me to help you with was helping Mita fulfill her wish."
"Yes."
Asagiri nodded and smiled.
"I promised them that when I had the chance, I would take them to play in the real world."
"I see."
Kato Megumi responded with a half-understanding, then spoke softly.
"As for Mita's other wishes, please let me help you fulfill them. It's what I should do as your teammate and friend."
Upon hearing Kato Megumi's words, Asagiri's expression suddenly became somewhat meaningful.
"you sure?"
"Forehead……"
Kato Megumi was initially quite certain, but when she saw Asagiri's expression, she became less sure. She suddenly remembered something and cautiously asked.
"Um... Miss Hat Mita's wish... wouldn't it be that she wants to play Purple Mood? I can't help with that."
"How could that be? Hat Mita's wish is to play dance games and hammer games with me at home. She doesn't need your help with that, but..."
At this point, Asagiri changed the subject and said with a smile.
"You can still help with Crazy Mita's wish."
……
Later that day, at a dojo on the outskirts of Tokyo.
"You called me over again, huh..."
Ashikaga Miwa, now dressed in a martial arts uniform, removed her gold-rimmed glasses and placed them on the table beside her, letting out a soft sigh.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to give you special training, but you could at least have given me a heads-up beforehand, right? After all, I'm in charge of several companies, and I'm usually very busy..."
Before Ashikaga Miwa could finish speaking, Asagiri waved her hand and interrupted with a smile.
"Master Ashikaga, today I'm here to help you, not you."
"Are you coming to help me?"
Ashikaga Miwa glanced at Kato Megumi standing next to Asagiri and shook her head helplessly.
"Tell me then, how exactly are you going to help me?"
"You must really need information about the game and the players, right?"
"Oh? I knew it."
Ashikaga Miwa raised an eyebrow slightly, then spoke in a flat tone.
“That’s true, but that wasn’t part of our original deal. All I need is for you to play the role of ‘Shuchiin’s strongest.’ You don’t need to do anything special…”
"this."
Asagiri tossed a file folder to Ashikaga Miwa with a light laugh.
"This is what I summarized last night: the dungeon situations we've experienced in the past few times, and our current understanding of the game's patterns."
Ashikaga Miwa took the document bag, but did not open it immediately. Instead, she put the bag aside and looked at Asagiri, who was standing there.
"So, you're providing me with such important information, what conditions do you expect me to offer in exchange?"
"Need not."
Asagiri shook her head and said with a smile.
"Although our relationship was purely cooperative at first, your actions of helping us with special training, keeping our identities secret, and sharing intelligence with us have gone beyond the scope of our original cooperation agreement. Since you helped me, isn't it normal for me to help you in return?"
"Yeah……"
Upon hearing this, Ashikaga Miwa gave a noncommittal reply, and after a while, nodded.
"it is good."
"However, there is indeed something I need your help with."
"I knew it was you, kid."
Ashikaga Miwa shook her head with a wry smile, as if she had expected this.
"Speak, what is it? You don't mean I have to pretend to be your aunt again and meet your girlfriend's parents, do you?"
"Not this time."
Asagiri walked slowly to the center of the dojo and said in a calm tone.
"The information I just provided to you doesn't include any information about the strength of most players at this stage, because it's difficult to describe such things in words alone. Since you, Ashikaga-sensei, are also a martial artist, the best way is to experience firsthand the strength of the strongest player in the game right now."
"The strongest..."
Upon hearing this word, a hint of surprise flashed in Ashikaga Miwa's eyes.
She understood Utsunomiya's personality. Although he often said things that seemed arrogant, it wasn't because he thought too highly of himself, but because he was confident in his absolute strength, just like the unshakeable number one in the private Shuchiin Academy.
Since the other party claims to be the strongest player at this stage, it must not be just boasting. Moreover, given Asagiri's personality, the fact that he would say such a thing proves that he is not just about as strong as most ordinary players, but absolutely overwhelmingly powerful.
"interesting."
Ashikaga Miwa, a descendant of a samurai noble family, couldn't help but become interested and eager to try it out.
"It's not special training, but a head-on confrontation between you and me... I'm looking forward to it."
"you misunderstood."
Faced with the eager Ashikaga Miwa, Asagiri smiled and shook her head, then crushed the phantom tarot card that had fallen from the sky.
"Persona, Mita".
The next second, Crazy Metta suddenly appeared.
Seeing Asagiri use such a mysterious and unpredictable ability to instantly summon a human, Ashikaga Miwa was somewhat shocked. Before she could speak, she saw Asagiri look at Kato Megumi and say with a smile.
"Kato-kun, this is Crazy Mita's wish. She feels that she was defeated so easily because we had planned ahead and the four of us were fighting against her. She is still a little unconvinced."
"Humph."
Crazy Mita just snorted softly, her pouty, unconvinced expression making her look somewhat cute, and muttered under her breath.
"If we could do it all over again, I might not necessarily lose."
"is it?"
Looking at the slightly unconvinced Crazy Mita, Chaowu smiled and shook his head before speaking.
"Fulfill Crazy Meeta's wish and make her accept defeat wholeheartedly."
"Let Ashikaga-sensei personally experience the strength of the strongest player at this stage."
At this point, Asagiri paused, looked at Kato Megumi standing there, and said calmly.
"And most importantly, to improve your skills in direct combat. These three things will be accomplished together, so..."
"All three of you, come at me together."

Chapter 53 Supreme Magic Bullet.
Hearing Asagiri say that the three of them should go together, Kato Megumi was a little surprised and hesitated.
"Three people together? But... with Crazy Mita around, you can't summon other Personas, and there's no Shura passive effect to enhance it, nor can you use Caster. Although Ashikaga-sensei is just an ordinary person, there are two of us, Crazy Mita and me..."
"Kato-kun, your words are a bit hurtful."
Upon hearing Kato Megumi's words, Ashikaga Miwa couldn't help but frown slightly and interrupt.
"I am, after all, a martial artist who has undergone specialized training. Although my physical abilities cannot compare with those professional fighters, I am not just a figurehead, am I?"
After saying that, Ashikaga Miwa looked at Asagiri, who was standing there with a calm and collected expression, and gave a light snort.
"It's time to teach this kid a lesson."
"Take a little hardship..."
Kato Megumi's eyes showed some hesitation, after all, she had witnessed firsthand how strong Asagiri was.
Even if the opponent doesn't use the Persona talent, and there's no Shura passive effect to enhance them, they can't use Castling. Even with so many debuffs and it's a three-on-one situation, Kato Megumi doesn't think her side can win.
after all……
Utsunomiya-kun, you've never lost before.
"Tell me, what are the rules? Still the same wooden weapons, stop when you've made your move..."
Just as Ashikaga Miwa was speaking, Asagiri made a surprising remark.
"Master Ashikaga, do you have a gun?"
"gun?"
Ashikaga Miwa paused for a moment, then hesitated.
"I was carrying a pistol, but I was using it during the sparring session. What if..."
"Nothing unexpected."
Asagiri shook her head, speaking calmly.
"There are no rules, it's all based on actual combat."
"This……"
"Stop rambling."
Seeing that Ashikaga Miwa was still hesitating, Crazy Mita looked impatient and, without making any move, produced a very cute blue and yellow pistol in his hand.
"You don't think a mere pistol can do any harm to him, do you? Don't hold me back later."
Upon hearing Crazy Mita's words, Kato Megumi couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself that this Crazy Mita, who was once her enemy, really had a rather awkward and complicated personality.
She was clearly dissatisfied with Asagiri, feeling that if her plan hadn't been exposed and she hadn't faced the four-person team alone, she wouldn't have lost. Yet, she would still retort unhappily because of Ashikaga Miwa's underestimation of Asagiri.
Could this be... a tsundere?
Or is it that Crazy Mita is a masochist, and her wish is not to fight Asagiri again, but to lose to him again because she knows she can't beat him?
It's really hard to understand.
"Humph."
Seeing this, Ashikaga Miwa no longer hesitated. She walked over and took out a pistol from her bag. Holding the gun in her left hand, she took out a short sword, which was gleaming coldly and extremely sharp, slightly longer than a dagger, from the weapon rack next to her in her right hand.
Kato Megumi, on the other hand, equipped herself with her deep purple dagger and Indian battle axe. The seemingly delicate woman suddenly exuded a unique aura of a berserker mixed with an assassin once she took up these two weapons.
Crazy Mita curled his lip upon seeing this, put his pistol back into his inventory, and then took out a long samurai sword.
"let's start."
Seeing that Kato Megumi, Ashikaga Miwa, and Crazy Mita were all ready, Asagiri chuckled and said this. The moment he finished speaking, he rushed towards Ashikaga Miwa, who was standing there.
"Ok?"
