You're Asleep, Right? Then I'm Going to Kiss You, Acheron

"I already told Silver Wolf I'd be logging into the game again in a bit. Maybe... you could get up first, let me go in and tell her we'll call it a day?"

It would have been better if I hadn't said anything, but now that I have, things have changed.

Acheron lifted his head from Lin Shuang's body, resting his chin on Lin Shuang's chest, his cheek pressed against her full breasts, and said:

"Speaking of Stellaron Hunter, why didn't you tell me when you discovered they were Silver Wolf? You were carrying a Stellaron with you; weren't you worried they were after you?"

"Well..."

Lin Shuang was taken aback. To be honest, she didn't think she had actually thought about this question before.

The main reason is that I first had an impression of the game.

After that, when I got to know Silver Wolf, I just played video games every day.

I finally got to know Firefly, and now the things we're discussing have turned into where to get married.

Even assuming, hypothetically, that the Stellaron Hunter really wanted the Stellaron in her possession...

They've gone to such lengths to show goodwill; it's just a Stellaron. If Elio asked, she would have given it to him without hesitation.

She certainly hadn't considered the possibility of Stellaron Hunter ganging up on her and trying to steal Stellaron from her.

However, considering that the Stellaron Hunter are indeed a notorious group in the universe, it's normal for Acheron to suspect that they have ulterior motives, since he doesn't seem to know those inside stories and character information like I do.

Seeing Lin Shuang's expression, Acheron was speechless and a little angry. How could this person be so foolish as to believe the Stellaron Hunter?

The Xianzhou Alliance is alright, after all, it has a very good reputation and is generally a very easy-going force, except when it comes to the Denizens of Abundance Xianzhou Alliance.

This Stellaron Hunter is not the same thing.

"Stellaron Hunter are eccentric and ruthless; they only care about results, not the process. Don't you know that?"

For some reason, although Acheron didn't say it explicitly, Lin Shuang could tell that her subtext was to keep her away from the Stellaron Hunter.

But Lin Shuang couldn't just let this opportunity to draw cards slip by.

"I know, I'll be careful, after all, this isn't just about communicating online."

Lin Shuang smiled and explained. Acheron seemed a little unable to accept it, but this kind of thing couldn't be kept up forever.

"... Be extra careful when you make contact."

"Mmm."

Lin Shuang nodded repeatedly, thinking that the matter was over.

But after waiting for a while, they saw that Acheron had no intention of moving his body at all.

The person was still nestled in Lin Shuang's arms, his eyes half-closed as if he were asleep.

"The Acheron?"

"Um?"

"... Aren't you going to get up?"

"I don't think this is affecting your gaming, am I?"

Acheron's answer was all too obvious.

A mind-immersion game is indeed one where you only need to connect to it; you can play it using your brain. It doesn't require specific posture or whether someone is actually attached to you.

But!

I could have let it go before I didn't know, but now that you're practically in my arms, how am I supposed to play the game in peace?

Don't you have any idea what you just did to me?

I'm afraid to go back in now; if I play games and then come back, my whole body aches.

Perhaps Lin Shuang's silence was so resounding that Acheron paused for a moment before adding:

"I won't do anything to you."

"Ms. Acheron, didn't you do enough to me when I wasn't looking?"

The thought of opening his eyes to find his clothes completely stripped off by Acheron, and being seen naked by this man so secretly, filled him with dread.

Lin Shuang's face flushed uncontrollably.

Although she was addressed as "lady," Acheron became increasingly indifferent to it.

"It's just changing clothes, isn't it all clothes you like? Don't keep that Stellaron Hunter waiting too long, just do your thing."

As he spoke, Acheron reached out and picked up the phone that had been tossed aside, shoving it in front of Lin Shuang.

It seems she's determined not to let go.

"..."

Lin Shuang had no choice but to open the game and nervously connect her consciousness to the virtual world.

In-game.

Lin Shuang was delayed for quite a while before returning. As soon as she appeared, Firefly Lin Shuang came to her with some concern.

"Has something happened?"

Lin Shuang smiled at Firefly, then glanced at the impatient Silver Wolf and said:

"No, it's nothing, it's just my imagination. Maybe someone is thinking about me."

"Then I'll go open the book?"

Seeing that Lin Shuang was alright, Silver Wolf immediately wanted to begin tonight's game plan.

"Open it, open it."

Compared to before, Lin Shuang seemed a little distracted.

Firefly and Silver Wolf exchanged a glance. They could tell that Lin Shuang seemed a little distracted, obviously something must have happened after she logged off.

However, Silver Wolf didn't care, since Lin Shuang didn't get into any trouble in this part of the Script anyway.

As for Firefly, she was thinking about how to ask questions in a way that wouldn't be too direct.

However, it's clear that Firefly isn't the kind of player who possesses a passive skill like 'the art of speaking'.

After hesitating for only a few seconds, Silver Wolf sent his challenge team request, seemingly not intending to give Firefly a chance to speak.

If Kafka were here, she might have a say, but with Silver Wolf by her side, there's clearly no chance.

Entered the instance.

Silver Wolf charged out first. She was always a challenge-seeking player, and if this place didn't require a team, she would have cleared it all by herself long ago.

Firefly and Lin Shuang, each wielding a sword, followed behind, helping to clear out the remaining soldiers.

Firefly held a rather beautiful longsword, its blade slender and giving it a very elegant appearance.

However, contrary to its appearance, the Firefly launches a powerful and sweeping attack.

Could this be part of the charm of unexpected contrast?

"What's wrong? You seem to be staring at me."

Firefly twirled her sword and looked at Lin Shuang with curiosity.

"Because your sword, Firefly, is very pleasing to the eye."

"Thank you... thank you for the compliment."

Firefly blushed, shyly looked away, and turned her body to the side, probably not expecting Lin Shuang to suddenly praise her.

Volume 1: Chapter 90 You're asleep, right? Then I'm going to kiss you Acheron)

Seeing that Firefly even seemed a little shy surprised Lin Shuang.

So much so that Lin Shuang immediately remembered a meme she had seen in her previous life.

If I were to shout in front of the Firefly, "I will set the sea ablaze!"

Do Firefly get shy?

I really want to try it...

Unfortunately, the conditions aren't right now.

If the Affection isn't high enough, then using memes won't achieve the desired effect.

Just as Lin Shuang was pondering something inappropriate, perhaps feeling that she had been praised and needed to respond, she thought...

So Firefly blushed slightly and looked at Lin Shuang, saying:

"Lin Shuang's sword is also very fast. Although she is using Greatsword, her moves are more agile than I expected."

Compared to Firefly's swordsmanship, which was most likely derived from the standard military style, Lin Shuang's swordsmanship, honed entirely through real combat, appeared much more unorthodox.

However, with the two rather unorthodox hand skills that Lin Shuang acquired one after another...

[Restricted-Class Hair Care Technique (Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews)] made Lin Shuang's hands extremely soft and greatly improved her muscle control.

[Art of Deception (Master Level)] grants Lin Shuang extremely agile hand speed and reaction speed.

Neither of these two skills seems particularly useful when viewed separately.

However, when combined with Lin Shuang's swordsmanship, it naturally produces an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

The sword strikes faster, make less noise, and are harder to detect.

At the same time, the smoothness of the moves was greatly improved, and Lin Shuang was able to use the Greatsword as a rapier and soft sword, showing its versatility and flexibility.

It took Lin Shuang some time to adapt to this change, and when it was reflected in the game, it showed this somewhat 'contradictory' style.

"Really? But it's quite rough; it can't compare to you, Firefly."

Lin Shuang is not yet satisfied with her current swordsmanship, but it's not a problem that can be solved in a short time.

In comparison, Lin Shuang genuinely felt that Firefly's martial arts skills were both capable and beautiful.

"Have you been practicing this lately? Your hands are so nimble!"

Firefly was surprised by Lin Shuang's description of "roughness," because Lin Shuang's dexterity and exquisite control did not seem to be worthy of "roughness" in swordsmanship.

Surely these hands couldn't have been developed through some other skill.

Outside of the Script, the Stellaron Hunter is free to act as he sees fit; as long as there is no part specified by Elio, he can do whatever he wants.

So when Firefly witnessed Lin Shuang's contradictory swordsmanship and hands, she became interested in taking a closer look.

"Would you like to try learning my combat techniques?"

Although she looks cute on the outside, Firefly's inner qualities are far more than just cute.

Since Lin Shuang seemed to lack some sword skills, she could teach her a few as a way to pass the time.

Recently, Firefly hasn't had any urgent tasks and has been focusing more on preparing for Penacony's Charmony Festival.

She also remembers that in her next assignment, the Script, which had already been finalized, changed for the first time because of the sudden appearance of one person.

This was the first time since she joined the Stellaron Hunter that Elio had made changes to the Script after it was distributed.

It wasn't just her Script; Kafka's and Silver Wolf's, and even Blade's, all had their subsequent missions changed.

It's simply a matter of whether the quantity increases or decreases, or whether there are any changes at key points.

Lin Shuang is special; her fate is unpredictable, and even Elio cannot accurately trace the trajectory of her destiny.

This is the current consensus within the Stellaron Hunter.

Therefore, Firefly actively wanted to increase their contact time. At the same time, she also looked forward to the day when she would form a contract with Lin Shuang.

Given her circumstances, she probably wouldn't have any connection with such ordinary and beautiful feelings and contracts until the day she died.

Lin Shuang was surprised by Firefly's invitation, finding it abrupt and asking curiously:

"Is that okay? Do you have enough free time?"

"Of course, I've been quite free lately."

"Then of course I'd welcome you to teach me, and the learning will be online?"

"Yes, online is fine."
