I am a reincarnation player.

As he walked, Yuki stopped and stood among the bones on the ground, his eyes widened slightly, as if he had seen a spectacle.

Lightning roared, and a crack appeared on the thousand-meter-high, steep mountain range, reaching from the top to the ground, enough for two people to walk side by side. However, it was just a crack in the huge mountain range. When they got closer, they found that the cut was extremely smooth.

It was like being cut by a sword.

Yuki raised his right hand and swung it downwards. From his perspective, it really looked like a sword slash, and he couldn't help but feel his heart surge.

If it was really split open, the one who could do it to this extent must be a god. Even if he has reached the extraordinary level, he can only imagine it in his dreams.

"What are you scratching at?" Mai felt that this idiot was having a bit of a Chuunibyou attack, so she raised her hand and asked, "According to the instructions, this should be the exit. When are we leaving?"

"Now, it's almost time. Just follow my coordinates and go back to Izu."

Only a fool would return to where he was, and Yuuki had no intention of helping in the first place.

"I'm fine." The senior student had skipped class to begin with and turned around to ask, "Kaguya-san, how about you?"

Shinomiya Kaguya shook her sore hands. She had finished drawing the giant skeleton and was feeling exhausted.

"Can I go home?"

"No, there must be players guarding it. The players' return may cause space fluctuations." Yuki refused without thinking.

Hayasaka Ai took leave to travel a long time in advance. If she suddenly returned home, it would arouse suspicion. The maid was also prepared to go back at any time. It would be more convenient for her to be alone.

But I have a lot to say to her.

Kaguya pursed her lips, knowing that now was not the time to be willful, so she could only keep up with the pace of the two.

Just like the broken bridge in the ruins battlefield, the journey ends only after you walk through the exit. Yuki looked around and found that this was not a good place for an ambush.

It was so clean that there wasn't even a trace of ashes. The walls on both sides were as smooth as a mirror. The more I looked at it, the more it looked like cuts left by a sharp weapon. When I looked up again, the sky had changed its appearance.

The lightning and darkness disappeared, replaced by a deep blue like the sea, but the line of sight was only a few meters, as if looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, unable to see any other scenery.

I really want to climb up and take a look.

Yuki had an inexplicable urge to imagine the scenery on the top of the mountain. Could it be a stunning view with thunder and lightning on one side and a cloudless sky on the other?

But it's just a thought. This mountain range is a thousand meters high, and there are smooth rock walls on both sides without even a handhold. How is it possible to climb up?

"Senior, do you still remember the discomfort those people showed just now?"

"I'm really not used to it." Mai, who was walking in front, slowed down her pace. She was a little surprised that Yuki didn't sneak a peek at her black stockings, but looked up at the sky instead.

"I secretly observed them when entering the random dungeon. They all looked like they had seen a ghost. They probably weren't pretending."

At that time they didn't know someone was watching them, so of course they didn't pretend.

Yuki was speechless. Those seven players must have experienced many random dungeons, but they had never encountered the same type. This was a bit puzzling.

And didn't Tyrant say that random quests would also encounter dungeon enemies? How come I didn't encounter any in both of my previous quests, and they were all battlefield ruins like this?

Yuuki licked his lips and suddenly had a bold idea:

Could it be that my random tasks are also different from those of ordinary players?

It's not clear, it's just a guess, because this kind of random task is not very targeted.

So what information is being revealed?

Yuki turned his head and looked behind him. There was darkness behind the narrow gap, which made him want to go back and take a look.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going back?" Kaguya Shinomiya appeared in the field of vision, blinking with some confusion.

This made Yuki wake up from a dream and he nodded subconsciously.

"Well, return."

The end of the canyon was a few meters ahead. Yuki saw the backs of the two girls disappear in a beam of light, and he followed them. In the vague feeling of spatial transfer, a strange sound came into his ears.

Click, click, click.

It sounded like the friction of countless joints, which made him look back in confusion. At the moment when his sight was blocked by space, something pale appeared at the end of the canyon.

It was a huge skull, with its head hanging down, and its empty eye sockets pressed against the gap. There was a faint blue soul flame in the eye sockets.

Looking at him.

Chapter 17 Kaguya and Mai (4K)

The world is spinning, time and space are shifting.

Returning to Izu in an instant from the Plain of Bones, the azure sea and moist sea breeze make one feel like arriving in heaven.

Well, a cheap rental house.

Shinomiya Kaguya looked around curiously. She had never stepped into such a cheap house and had only seen it on TV.

That bed would fall to the ground if it tumbled twice. The table was too small, it couldn't even fit dessert. Hey, is this the bathroom? It was hard to even turn around.

Enjoying the service of a state-banquet-level chef and sleeping on a bed that was almost as big as the living room, Kaguya was a little amazed, but she didn't show any contempt.

The size of the room is not important; what matters is who lives there.

She turned her head and looked at the desk in front of the window. Yuki was flipping through her sketchbook quickly. No one knew what was going on with this man. He came back without saying a word and immediately started to think hard. She had no idea what he was thinking.

Well, at least this workaholic attitude explains why he's so strong.

Kaguya seemed to be targeting him, and just as she was thinking about it, a teacup was placed in front of her. It turned out that Sakurajima Mai had made tea.

This person is also a weirdo. After returning, he went to boil water and make tea without saying a word. He was more casual than at home.

Wait, your own home? Living together? Humph, what a shameless woman.

"Kaguya-san, I always feel like you are secretly cursing me in your heart." Mai held the tray with a pleasant look on her face.

"No, you saved me, I should respect that." Kaguya didn't show any of it, still cold, and asked in a casual tone, "Do you usually live here too?"

"I have a job and come here occasionally."

"Then how can we stay here? There are no guest rooms here, and there is only one bed."

"Of course..." Sakurajima Mai propped up her head and opened her round lips, "Sleeping together."

Phew, cough cough cough.

Kaguya almost spit out her tea. She remembered that Sakurajima Mai was also a high school student. How could she, how could she violate the school rules like this? This, this was absolutely not allowed in Shuchiin!

"I was kidding, Yuki even sleeps on the sofa." Mai couldn't help laughing. This icy beauty was really interesting.

Oops, I was too curious.

Kaguya also realized that she had been exposed, and her brain was working at full speed, trying to save face, but Sakurajima Mai showed the same strange smile as before.

"Of course he also wants to attack at night."

"You, you guys."

"But Hayasaka-san is keeping a close eye on us. We won't stand a chance."

The beauty whose ice had just melted blinked and forgot to save face. Why did she bring up Hayasaka again? Then Mai's next sentence made her eyes twitch wildly.

"I forgot to remind you that Hayasaka-san is constantly monitoring everything. She's using all her hacking skills for this purpose."

what?

Kaguya looked around blankly, as if she heard the rampant laughter of a maid. The imperial education she received since childhood told her that she could not go deeper into this topic now, otherwise her only remaining dignity as a master would be gone.

She picked up the teacup, reformatted her previous words, and turned into a statue again: "Senior Mai, you make tea very well. If you have time, can you teach me?"

Hey, just deleting the memory and skipping the topics that you can't handle, is this genius?

Mai was also surprised. She wanted to tease the other person, but Kaguya Shinomiya didn't change the subject, but deleted it directly.

"You don't need to learn." Mai followed the logic and heard Hayasaka Ai say that there were dozens of people taking care of this young lady.

"No one takes care of me in the reincarnation game. It would be much more convenient if I could make tea myself when I want to drink it. Besides, regardless of your qualifications or ability, I can't feel at ease to accept you taking care of me."

The voice was still cold, but Mai felt very comfortable listening to it and found that this legendary Miss Shinomiya was a good person.

He may be tough-talking and arrogant, but he can put himself in the right position rationally, which is what the saying goes, "he is very reasonable."

Mai added some water and asked quietly, "No problem, but what about Hayasaka-san?"

This question made Kaguya frown slightly. Some habits could not be changed. She had to rely on the maid for many things, but she could not imagine herself and Yuuki sitting there with Hayasaka Ai serving tea and water beside them.

In addition to owing Hayasaka Ai, it was also because this team had only one core, the man sitting at the desk.

"That depends on Hayasaka's attitude, but I've been through two dungeons, so I can accept whatever she chooses."

Kaguya Shinomiya was severely beaten in the Reincarnation Game. Although she didn't turn evil, her character design has changed a lot. The keyword "rationality" should be highlighted.

Yuuki's comment flashed through the senior's mind, and she agreed with him and breathed a sigh of relief.

She could use a sane companion on the team, but she couldn't stand a grown lady.

"Mai-senpai, has he always been this hard-working? Dealing with all the problems in advance."

Uh, you're flattering me a bit too much.

Looking at Kaguya who looked like she was going to study seriously, Mai Sakurajima didn't know how to answer. Yuuki was certainly a hard-working person, but she was used to seeing him acting like a lazy fish every time he came back.

"He's the kind of person who, well, gives it his all when it's time to work hard, but he also doesn't put too much pressure on himself."

“Like the best students, who study hard when they are studying and relax with all their strength when they are relaxing?”

Why do I feel like the more you get to know someone, the more you flatter them?

Mai's heart moved, and she suddenly asked, "Do you admire him?"

"Isn't that strength and decisiveness worth learning and admiring?" Kaguya asked as a matter of course, which immediately silenced the senior.

There's no way around it. The time of their contact was different. When Kaguya met Yuki, he had already reached maturity, and all he left behind were glowing impressions.

"He... is actually a very complicated person. You'll understand as you get to know him better."

"I know." The ice-sculpture girl looked away, trying to maintain a cold voice: "Just like your little game, it looks weird."

Games?

Mai was slightly startled, then her face turned slightly red, and she picked up the kettle and left.

"Just sit down and take your time. I'll go boil some water."

Phew, we've managed to get back one point. This Sakurajima Mai is not invincible.

Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief, having just fully experienced the value of the word "senior". She looked at Yuuki with a little more interest.

Strong, decisive, and murderous, but when facing Sakurajima Mai, you naturally seem like an ordinary person. Sorajima Yuuki, how many faces do you have?

Is it it?

Yuki tapped the sketchbook lightly, ignoring the gaze behind him. The last "cracking" sound and the huge skull he heard kept lingering in his mind. After returning, he immediately looked for information.

Looking at the monster in the sketchbook, which had two spiral horns on its head and looked like a dragon, Yuuki rubbed his brows. This feature was the same as the one he saw last time.

If it wasn't an illusion, then this thing was spying on me at the last moment. But if it was alive and suddenly jumped out during the battle, it would probably crush all the players.

Taking the little man drawn by Kaguya Shinomiya as a reference, this bone dragon is at least twenty meters tall, and it is impossible to hide with such a large body.

"There's something fishy about that battlefield of bones. When it's dark, it blocks the Devil's Eye's spiritual vision, making it impossible for me to confirm whether those skeletons are dead or alive. Could it be that they're just pretending, waking up but afraid to come out?"

Yuuki rubbed his chin. This information actually matched up with what the tyrant had said, but the second point was even stranger:

That feeling... not only is there no hostility, but there is even a sense of submission and nostalgia?

Yuki was a little confused. Bone dragons didn't even have eyes, so there was no way to confirm their gaze. It was just an intuition.

It's strange that a random task has confused me, which is actually a very simple thing.

The original intention was to kill as many people as possible. This goal was achieved. I also picked up a strange golden pen and was rewarded with 3 enhancement points when I left the copy.

Adding soul energy to it, he made a huge profit.

Yuki pushed the sketchbook away. He didn't like to dwell on trivial matters. If he couldn't figure something out, he would just stop thinking about it.

"Last time it was a race, this time it's a kill. It's definitely more exciting than a regular mission."

He had three enhancement points, Kaguya got one, and the senior sister, as a "slacker", had none, but it wasn't a wasted trip since she picked up a chaos-level lightning ball.

As a regular organization, when they find there is no hope of survival, they will do their utmost to destroy their own equipment and never let the enemy get away with it.

After cleaning up the battlefield, not many items were picked up, and Yuki was not too disappointed. But at this point, he no longer cared about ordinary Chaos items. He was only interested in those above the Extraordinary level that could be of use.

Moreover, there is a prophet in 'Zhou'. The more he picks up, the heavier the karma becomes. He doesn't want anyone to come and check his water meter.
