A Little Test / The World of Fairies

That evening, at 9:00 PM, in the city center.

After tidying her long hair, she walked out of the alley, when a sports car suddenly stopped in front of Shokuhou Misaki.

"Beautiful lady, would you mind joining me for a stroll?"

"Not interested."

After taking out the remote control and pressing a button, Shokuhou Misaki changed direction and began to stroll around the streets.

"It really is the era of holographic games."

There are advertisements everywhere.

SAO has indeed come to an end, but new games are rising.

"Let's go see Asuna first."

Using her extensive Mental Master abilities, Shokuhou Misaki located Asuna's hospital. She then traveled there alone.

"What? You're Yuuki Asuna's friend? Please come in."

The middle-aged man in front of her seemed to be Asuna's father, and he happily Shokuhou Misaki to her bedside.

"He's still not awake."

With that thought in mind, she reached out and touched Asuna's arm.

"I will find a way to wake her up."

"No need to force it. Asuna will be very happy to have a friend like you."

The man was genuinely pleased to hear what Shokuhou said. Just then, another man walked in.

"Yo, Sugo, you've arrived. Let me introduce you. This is Shokuhou Misaki, Asuna's good friend."

"Hello, I'm Sugou Nobuyuki. Nice to meet you," the bespectacled man said with a smile.

It seems that because Su Lin deleted his identity file when he left SAO, this person in front of him doesn't recognize him at all.

Yes, Sugou Nobuyuki is a pervert who went so far as to force himself on and persecute Asuna.

In front of Asuna's father, Shokuhou Misaki did not show any signs of anything amiss, and Sugou also pretended to be a good person, making it hard to imagine his true nature.

After exchanging a few words, Asuna's father received a phone call and then said apologetically, "Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while."

"It's alright, Uncle, go in peace."

He nodded, walked out of the ward, and from a distance you could still hear him say, "I never imagined there could be such a lovely girl in this world."

"So... Sugo-kun, what are you planning to do to Asuna?"

As soon as Asuna's father left, Shokuhou turned her head with a smile and glanced at him.

"What can I do? Don't joke around." The man awkwardly took a half step back, suddenly becoming wary.

"No, you can't hide anything from me. You can't just take my best friend."

Shokuhou let out a crisp laugh and suddenly took a step forward, a sharp pain instantly shooting into Sugo's brain.

"Ouch, that hurts! What... what did you do?" The guy clutched his head and cried out in pain.

"It's nothing. I originally wanted to kill you, but considering that you control the virtual world and imprison Asuna's consciousness, I'm not planning to completely eliminate you for now." Shokuhou walked to his side, grabbed his face, and leaned closer, saying, "Do you know that I have the ability to control a person's mind and spirit, and everything related to that? With just a slight movement, I can stimulate all the pain nerves in your body, making you feel... indescribable pain. Like, falling into hell."

Sugou Nobuyuki's pupils contracted, and a great fear welled up in his heart.

"No, wait, I don't understand..."

"Who cares if you understand or not?" Shokuhou Misaki's face revealed an evil smile. "Right now, you are just my puppet, experiencing both mental and physical pain, like a remotely controlled robot, watching helplessly as your body is out of your control."

Waving the remote control twice, Shokuhou Misaki pressed a button again, then winked at him and walked towards the door of the ward.

"Oh, right." Shokuhou Misaki stopped walking and suddenly turned her head seriously. "I know everything you've done. You used the brains of 300 people as research material, recklessly injecting them with consciousness, making them wish they were dead. After doing something like that, don't expect to die happily."

After saying that, she prepared to leave completely.

"Wait a minute!" Sugou Nobuyuki cried out in anguish, "Why are you doing this? I have no grudge against you."

"I like it, is that not allowed?"

"You..."

As soon as Shokuhou Misaki disappeared, Sugou Nobuyuki Sugo's expression instantly returned to normal. He was clearly in great pain, yet he found that his facial expression was as if it weren't his own, completely beyond his control.

He staggered a couple of steps and suddenly realized that Asuna's father had returned to the ward.

"What happened to the girl from before?"

"Help me." Sugou Nobuyuki had no intention of answering this question; he only wanted to ask for help. What was terrifying was that the words that came out of his mouth the instant he said them were, "She left because she had something to do."

"Really? It's such a shame we can't take her out for a meal. It's rare for our daughter to have such a good friend."

Seeing the other person's expression, Xu Xiang was filled with immense fear. That woman—she could even manipulate other people's thoughts! This wasn't a game; it was the real world! Just who was she?

"As expected, I should go to Kirito's house and meet his sister."

Poor Kirigaya Suguha, of all Kirito. No matter how you look at it, the chances of Kirito liking her back are very low.

She hailed a ride on the street, Shokuhou Misaki quietly leaned back in her seat, ignoring the driver's amazed gaze, and closed her eyes.

Upon arriving at her destination, she paid the fare, got out of the car, went to the door of the Kirito, and pressed the doorbell.

A few minutes later, a well-built, dark-haired girl came to the front.

"Who are you..."

"Kirigaya Kazuto's friend just left SAO, so I came to check on him."

"Is that so? Please come in." Nao invited Shokuhou Misaki into her home.

"Please sit down. Onii-chan is not here right now; he went to see a friend."

"Meeting a friend?" Shokuhou Misaki frowned slightly, her mind quickly conjuring up Sachi's face, before she smiled and said, "I understand."

"What do you know?" Nao wondered to herself, without stopping her hands, and pushed a piece of cake in front of her. "Sorry, I don't have anything to offer, but have some cake."

"Yes, thank you."

Calmly and elegantly savoring the delicious food prepared by Nao, Shokuhou Misaki looked intently at her face, only to find that she kept glancing over, her emotions seemingly somewhat complicated.

Using Mental Master, she roughly understood what the other person was thinking.

"So she was worried I'd steal her brother?"

Shokuhou somewhat speechless.

So, girls who fall in love...

"Um..." Nao's eyes darted around a few times, "Are you Onii-chan's girlfriend?"

"No," she answered decisively, "I could never like men."

"Huh?" Her eyes widened.

"Pfft, no, delete it."

She quickly pressed the remote control and said again, "No, I won't like her."

"Huh, is that so?" She wasn't sure what her brother did that made him unworthy of this guy, but looking at this starry-eyed girl with an even more amazing figure than herself, she was worried that Kirito would fall for her.

If that's the case, then Onii-chan is destined not to be hers.

"You don't need to worry about that." Shokuhou sighed softly. "Just like it's impossible between him and me, the possibility for you is also very low. In the past two years, Kirito ... your brother has indeed had a very close girlfriend. Yeah, the kind of girlfriend for whom he would give his life. Your brother is probably going out now to see her."

Bang!

The cup in Nao's hand fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

Shokuhou comforted her, then leaned back and looked at the ceiling, saying, "I don't like to interfere too much in matters of the heart, but... I have the superpower to alter people's memories. If you don't mind, I can lessen your feelings for someone."

"Superpowers? Huh, do such things really exist?" Nao diverted, and she leaned closer, her expression somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm... why don't you want to give it a try?"

"How can I try something that will make me happier?"

"Of course! I can also let you experience all sorts of sensations, like the feeling of eating ice cream."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nao realized she was eating ice cream, but when she looked down, she couldn't see anything.

Wow, it really is!

"Of course, it will also let you experience some incredible pleasure. Do you want to try it?" Shokuhou Misaki suddenly revealed a wicked smile and said in a seductive voice.

"Give it a try." She nodded vigorously.

The next moment, Nao exclaimed "Wow!" and covered her face in embarrassment.

You seem to have done something incredible.

The system then spoke up.

"Well, it was just a test, and it turns out that girls can indeed perceive what boys feel this way. By stimulating the brain, it produces physiological sensations that only boys experience."

If this is successful, the reverse should also work.

Chapter 333 The World of Fairies

"Ugh, what... what was that just now?" Kirigaya Suguha in disbelief, her breath trembling slightly.

It's really strange. The girl in front of me didn't do anything, yet I experienced this feeling that I've never had before.

A feeling that is completely indescribable.

"Well, it's about how boys... feel when they do that kind of thing with girls. This is a secret I'm telling you; no other girl could ever know it."

"What what?"

Looking at the other person's innocent expression, Nao's entire face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

"Waaaaah~~ You..."

"Actually, you still want something in your heart, don't you?" Shokuhou picked up her tea, took a sip, and said lightly, "Sure, the feeling of a girl is also fine."

"You..."

Why is someone here?!

Nao was both ashamed and angry, even though she couldn't really hate what the other person had done.

"Well, just kidding. This is an experience that other girls can't possibly have."

"Do you do this kind of thing when you're alone?" Nao asked, her gaze darting away.

"No, I'm not that bored." Back in her seat, Shokuhou Misaki changed the subject, "Have you been playing that fairy game lately?"

"The Fairy Land? We're just playing around."

"I'll log in tomorrow to find someone, and we can team up then."

"This... I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

"It'll be alright. If your organization won't let you leave, I'll fight my way through the territory and bring you out."

Nao was stunned by this statement.

Slaying through enemy territory, that's incredibly domineering!

However, judging from Shokuhou Misaki's attitude, she seems to be telling the truth. At least, her tone suggests it.

Do you absolutely have to see that person?

"Yes, we need to save them. At the top of the World Tree, there is a woman being imprisoned, along with 300 SAO players who are being used as experimental subjects and are suffering terribly. These 300 people happen to be the ones who have escaped from the game and haven't woken up yet."

These words startled Nao. Perhaps it was her innate integrity, but after thinking for less than a minute, she nodded. "I will definitely help you."

"Hmm, if it works, I'll let you experience that feeling again, a hundred times stronger!"

"???"
