The first day of Golden Week.
Nothing happened today.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Amamiya Natsuki had just woken up when he heard the doorbell ring.
He got up and opened the door.
"Natsuki-kun, good morning."
A short-haired blonde girl stood outside the door, her smile bright and radiant like the sun.
"Good morning."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded, looking at Miko beside Yurikawa Hana.
"Hua came over to play early this morning." Yotsuya Miko raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawning, her face still showing dark circles under her eyes, clearly her sleep last night was not good again, "Bored, I came over to play a game with the dog."
"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome."
Mrs. Shimizu's eyes sparkled, and she darted to Yurikawa Hana's side, beginning her beautiful girl bonding.
She was just short of extending her arms and embracing Yurikawa Hana from behind.
As a ghost, Mrs. Shimizu had no senses related to the body, such as taste, touch, smell, etc., and she didn't even need to sleep.
But miraculously, she could feel a special warmth from Yurikawa Hana, so she absolutely adored Yurikawa Hana and wanted to bond with her every time she saw her.
"Phew~ So warm."
Mrs. Shimizu narrowed her eyes, a look of extreme pleasure on her pretty face, "Hana's body is indeed irresistible."
That sentence of yours is a typical scumbag quote, where did you see that!
Yotsuya Miko pretended not to see, silently entering the house to change her shoes.
"Excuse me for disturbing."
Yurikawa Hana couldn't see Mrs. Shimizu at all. She walked into the entryway and, seeing the Akita Inu wagging its tail and coming over, happily squatted down and lovingly patted the dog's head.
"Hua-chan is indeed a treasure girl." Mrs. Shimizu sighed, "If I could hug her to sleep at night, it would be even better."
Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:
"Don't you not need to sleep?"
"What if I fall asleep?" Mrs. Shimizu responded softly, "Natsuki-kun, why don't you trick Hua-chan into coming home with you?"
"Yurikawa-chan looks very easy to trick."
Amamiya Natsuki looked down at Blonde Hot Girl and subconsciously nodded.
She did seem very easy to trick.
Mrs. Shimizu continued:
"Don't worry, I won't tell Kaguya-chan. As a person, the most important thing is to be loyal."
You're a ghost, you're not even a person!
"It would be great if Natsuki-kun and Kaguya-chan dated." Mrs. Shimizu fantasized, "And adding Yurikawa-chan, everyone gets what they need."
How is it that everyone gets what they need?
Clearly, you're the winner taking all, with a girl on each arm!
Seeing Yotsuya Miko looking over, Mrs. Shimizu clenched her right hand into a fist, gently tapped her forehead, and said with a smile:
"Sorry, and Miko-chan, you all date together."
"…I don't need that."
Yotsuya Miko subtly moved the corner of her mouth. Even if she was a lazy girl, she had no joy in sharing a boyfriend with others, let alone dating together.
Even if she agreed, would Kaguya-san, such a proud rich young lady, agree?
Arriving in the living room.
Amamiya Natsuki was playing the newly unlocked Elden Ring, which, for now, was almost certainly going to be the game of the Year.
Miko sat beside Amamiya Natsuki, playing on her phone while dozing off.
Yurikawa Hana was still happily patting the Akita Inu's head.
Mrs. Shimizu was pressed close to Yurikawa Hana, playing the beautiful girl bonding game.
The first day of Golden Week was quite leisurely.
Unfortunately, this leisure was soon broken by a game notification sound.
"The game system is upgrading…"
A cold, mechanical voice rang in Amamiya Natsuki's mind, making him pause, and then he was taken out by a Boss combo in Elden Ring.
Amamiya Natsuki loaded his save, most of his attention focused on the game upgrade.
"Why is the game suddenly upgrading?"
"Who helped with the upgrade?"
"What kind of changes will there be after the upgrade?"
Regarding his safety, Amamiya Natsuki naturally wouldn't take it lightly. He even wished the system upgrade progress would be slower, preferably stuck for ten or eight days.
But it wasn't possible.
In just a few minutes, the upgrade progress smoothly reached 100%, as fast as Ultraman.
Immediately after, a new interface appeared before Amamiya Natsuki's eyes.
"Hmm… the interface has become prettier."
The previous horror game interface was very monotonous, like a crudely made half-finished product. If he silently thought it could start and ignored it, it would close itself after a while, unless there was a new notification from the game.
Now the interface was noticeably smoother and more comfortable to look at, and he also received an announcement in his inbox.
Amamiya Natsuki opened the letter with his mind.
"Game Upgrade Complete"
"This upgrade includes the following content:"
"We have optimized the interface art style, improving the player's visual experience."
"The game's early notification feature is officially live. You will receive a game alert half an hour in advance."
"Free exploration mode has been unlocked. In addition to the mandatory mission once every half month, you can now use the refresh function to refresh special game dungeons. Most game dungeons require certain conditions to be met to trigger, such as time, number of players, location, etc."
"Friend function enabled. If you know a friend's unique ID and they agree, you can add them as a friend. Please note, this function cannot be used within the game."
"The first large-scale dungeon is about to open. All players, please prepare."
"Finally: All players, please cherish your lives and arrange your game time reasonably."
"A lot of things have been updated." Amamiya Natsuki propped his right hand on his nose bridge, deep in thought. "The first large-scale dungeon… No wonder I haven't encountered any true big shots. Perhaps I am one of the first game players."
"Free exploration mode… that should be the Midnight Subway dungeon from that night."
Amamiya Natsuki was pondering when he suddenly received a new email.
"Your bi-weekly mission is about to begin. Player, please prepare."
"The mandatory mission once every ten days, calculating the time, it's exactly today." Amamiya Natsuki silently put down his game controller, his expression becoming serious.
"What's wrong?"
Yotsuya Miko tilted her head slightly, keenly noticing Amamiya Natsuki's abnormality.
Amamiya Natsuki whispered, "The game is about to start again."
"Eh?" Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly. "That vengeful spirit game?"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded lightly.
As he spoke, his phone already started vibrating.
"Natsuki-kun." Fujiwara Chika sent a message. "I just received a game notification."
"I received it too."
"How unfair! We just cleared Midnight Subway two days ago, and now they're making us participate in another game. I was planning to travel to Ukraine with my parents."
You dare to go to Ukraine? Do you not know how to write the word 'danger'?
As expected, Shinomiya Kaguya also received a game invitation.
In the Player Mutual Aid Group established by Fujiwara Chika, some people also said they received game notifications, but whether they would meet their teammates from the last game without being in a team was still unknown.
Each game represented danger, and morale in the Player Mutual Aid Group was quite low.
Secretary Fujiwara stepped forward without hesitation, transforming into Fujiwara Mama to comfort everyone.
After reading the chat messages for a while, Amamiya Natsuki put down his phone and looked at his childhood friend, whispering:
"You…"
Before he could finish, Miko quickly said, "I'll stay."
While real-life evil spirits were scary, pretending not to see them solved the problem. The game was clearly more dangerous than reality.
"Alright." Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "Observe what happens to my body in reality after I enter the game. If there are no surprises, I should wake up very soon. If there are surprises, then…"
Slap.
Yotsuya Miko extended her finger and flicked Amamiya Natsuki's forehead: "There won't be any surprises. You'll definitely wake up."
