"How can this be my fault..."

Asagiri rolled her eyes and walked side by side with Yuuki Asuna toward the street, teasing her with a light laugh.

"Why did you get so worked up while you were talking?"

"Humph."

Although Asuna Yuuki acted a little willful, it was only a minor act of willfulness given her personality. She immediately took Asagiri's hand and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"So, is there something important you want to discuss with my parents?"

"It wasn't me, it was mainly that Master Ashikaga wanted to talk to your father about a business deal."

"Business?"

Noticing Asuna Yuuki's puzzled expression, Asagiri explained calmly as she walked.

Have you ever heard of the name Kayaba Akihiko?

“Kayaba Akihiko…”

Yuuki Asuna thought about it carefully for a moment before shaking her head.

"Not impressed at all."

"Yeah, that's true, you don't usually play games."

Asagiri first replied with a smile, and then continued to explain.

"According to the information received by Ashikaga-sensei, Kayaba Akihiko, a quantum physicist and top game designer, has developed a cutting-edge technology. The principle behind it is very complex, but it is roughly about allowing users to enter an area built by a designer in an immersive way by wearing a certain device. This is what is known as virtual reality."

"Virtual reality... Does such a technology really exist...?"

"It's not completely successful yet, but I think Kayaba Akihiko is definitely capable of doing it. So, Ashikaga-sensei plans to ask your father to go and talk to Kayaba Akihiko, to collaborate on developing this technology and putting it into mass production."

Asuna Yuuki nodded as if she understood, and said thoughtfully.

"Is Ashikaga-sensei... also interested in entering the video game industry?"

"How is that possible?"

Asagiri reached out and gently tapped Yuuki Asuna's head, then smiled and explained as she looked at the other's cute, slightly annoyed expression.

"If we only use truly immersive virtual reality technology in video games, it would be a huge waste of its potential. Ashikaga-sensei's real goal is to apply virtual reality technology to the daily training of special forces, combatants, and other high-risk professions. Just think about it: being able to accumulate experience in an immersive environment while ensuring no harm is suffered in reality—how valuable is that technology? And these are just the surface; the most important thing is..."

At this point, Asagiri paused slightly before slowly speaking.

"This virtual reality technology is very suitable for gamers."

"Player...yes..."

Asuna Yuuki suddenly realized, and her eyes lit up.

"If this virtual reality technology can replicate a player's power one-to-one, then by simply importing dungeon information to construct a virtual dungeon, one can repeatedly accumulate experience in conquering dungeons without revealing one's own power or taking any harm."

"That's pretty much it."

Asagiri nodded, speaking casually.

"Things like money, power, and status are very tempting to most players, but players are players after all. They need to clear a dungeon once a month. Compared to external things like money, power, and status, things that can increase their survival rate are the most important... Hmm?"

As she said this, Asagiri noticed that Asuna Yuuki's eyes were sparkling and she was staring intently at her, so she couldn't help but laugh and tease her.

"What? You have a different opinion?"

"no."

Yuuki Asuna first shook her head, then stared at Asagiri with an admiring look.

"I just think... my boyfriend is such a wonderful person."

Hearing Asuna Yuuki's direct praise, Asagiri smiled shyly, and then spoke frankly.

"Can you wear a bunny girl outfit tonight?"

"You...you just can't forget the bunny girl, can you?"

"My main point is to stay true to my original aspiration."

……

Later that evening, at Asagiri's house.

"that……"

Asuna Yuuki came out of the master bedroom and looked at Asagiri sitting on the sofa. Her slender, fair right hand nervously tugged at the edge of her tight black clothes, and she blushed as she spoke.

"Is it...good-looking?"

At this moment, Asuna Yuuki had changed into the bunny girl outfit that Asagiri had specially made for her. It was a classic black bodysuit, with a black delicate choker, white fluffy bunny ear hair accessories, and most importantly, two black stockings that looked irresistible to touch, as well as a pair of black high heels. There was also a fluffy bunny tail on the back of the outfit.

Bunny girl outfits are inherently figure-hugging, and Asuna Yuuki has a slender and well-proportioned figure, making her a perfect fit.

"It's very beautiful, it's just a pity..."

Asagiri drew out her words, smiling softly amidst Yuuki Asuna's somewhat nervous and uneasy expression.

"It would be even better if it were a one-piece tail."

"What...what nonsense are you talking about..."

Yuuki Asuna blushed and instinctively covered the rabbit tail ornament on the back of her clothes, speaking timidly.

"You're just talking nonsense..."

Asuna Yuuki carefully walked to the sofa, sat down next to Asagiri, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"These high heels are so hard to wear... there's no way to walk in them..."

"It doesn't matter."

Asagiri bent down and removed Asuna Yuuki's black high heels, then looked up and stared directly into her eyes with unwavering determination.

"I like black stockings and bare feet just the same."

Chapter 59: The wedding vows made when meeting the parents.

"Are you a pervert...?"

Asuna Yuuki said this with a blush on her face, but her body was very honest. She did not pull her black-stockinged feet out of Asagiri's hands, and even took the initiative to snuggle into his arms.

"correct……"

As Asagiri stroked Yuuki Asuna's black-stockinged legs, the latter suddenly spoke.

"The electronics supplier where my father is the CEO is a pretty good company, but it's not number one, not even in Sakura Prefecture, let alone globally. You asked Ashikaga-sensei to invite this company to cooperate because... it's for my sake, right?"

"You're partly to blame, but not entirely."

Asagiri replied with a smile, then embraced Yuuki Asuna in a princess carry, looking at his beautiful girlfriend who was blushing, and said softly.

“Because Yuki Shozo is your father, and judging from your usual behavior when you mention him, he is a very responsible father who values ​​you, his daughter, more than anything else. Now he is also my father-in-law. Since there is a trustworthy and close person to cooperate with, it is naturally better to invite him to cooperate.”

After hearing Asagiri's explanation, Asuna Yuuki smiled.

"So in the end, isn't it all for me? Aren't you just being tsundere? Hehe, it's kind of cute... Hey hey hey."

Before Yuuki Asuna could finish her effeminate words, Asagiri flipped her over and pinned her to the sofa. Her long, smooth, flaxen hair cascaded down, and her delicate, fair face, like that of an angel, was flushed with a captivating blush. Her eyes were misty and watery as she shyly avoided Asagiri's gaze. Her voice was slightly hesitant, but her words contained no resistance and even a hint of anticipation.

"Let me take my clothes off first... otherwise I'll ruin them..."

"His."

After a sound of fabric tearing, Asuna Yuuki's face flushed even more, and she looked at Asagiri above her with a shy expression.

"Why did you tear it off like that... Now I can't wear it anymore."

"It's okay. You should wear different clothes from now on, like nurses, teachers, flag bearers, evening gowns, swimsuits, and the like."

"You really are... um..."

Asuna Yuuki let out a soft moan, her legs, encased in sheer black stockings, trembled slightly, and then her two black-stockinged feet involuntarily curled up slightly.

"It's too rough... but... I like it this way too..."

……

The following afternoon, at the private Shuchiin Academy, in Ashikaga Miwa's office.

"Dong dong dong."

Hearing the knock on the door, Ashikaga Miwa, sitting behind her desk, spoke calmly.

"Please come in."

After receiving a response from Ashikaga Miwa, the person outside pushed open the door and entered. It was Yuuki Kyoko, whom Asagiri had met once before, with short hair and a business suit. She was Yuuki Asuna's mother. She was accompanied by a middle-aged man who, although not particularly handsome, was dressed very well in a smart suit.

"Asuina."

Seeing her parents walk in, Asuna Yuuki quickly stood up from the sofa and took the initiative to introduce them.

"Mom has already met her. Dad, let me introduce you. This is Utsunomiya..."

"Hello, I am Utsunomiya Asagiri."

Before Asuna Yuuki could finish speaking, Asagiri had already stood up and walked up to Shozo Yuuki, extending her hand.

Upon seeing this, Yuki Shozo immediately grasped his hand, looked directly into his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Hello, I am Yuuki Asuna's father, Yuuki Shozo. May I ask, Utsunomiya-kun, what is your relationship with my daughter...?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Asagiri answered directly.

"Asuna and I are in a relationship with marriage in mind, and we will get married after graduating from high school."

Upon hearing this, Asuna Yuuki blushed, while her mother smiled with satisfaction and patted Shozo Yuuki on the shoulder.

"I told you before, Utsunomiya-san is a very good person."

After receiving such a positive answer from Asagiri, even the usually serious Yuuki Shozo couldn't help but smile.

“Although you often praise Utsunomiya in front of me, I know it’s not easy to make you feel completely satisfied. But as a father, I still need to be involved in this important matter concerning my daughter’s life.”

Immediately afterwards, Shozo Yuuki and Kyoko Yuuki sat down on the sofa, while Asagiri and Asuna Yuuki sat opposite them.

“Mr. Yuki, since we have some free time now, I’d like to talk to you about something important.”

Upon hearing Asagiri's words, Yuki Shozo couldn't help but glance at Ashikaga Miwa, who was sitting behind the desk. He then silently exchanged a look with his wife beside him, both of them showing a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Based on both age and status, and the previously agreed-upon cooperation, Ashikaga Miwa, as a member of the Shuchiin Board of Directors, should have been leading this discussion, but it seems...

It seems that Utsunomiya-kun is leading this conversation?

Yuki Shozo and Yuki Kyoko originally thought that Ashikaga Miwa came to them to discuss cooperation because Asagiri had pushed things along, since he and Yuki Asuna were lovers and he was related to Ashikaga-sensei in some way, which is why he was able to become the middleman.

But given the current situation, could it be that... Utsunomiya Asagiri was the one who facilitated the cooperation, and Ashikaga Miwa was just... following his orders?

Is this right?

"Cough cough."

Yuki Shozo was, after all, the CEO of a large company, so he wouldn't be shocked and lose his composure over such a small matter. He quickly composed himself and looked at Asagiri Michi sitting opposite him.

"Since that's the case, let's talk. But let me make this clear first: I'm just the CEO, not the actual controller of the company. So there are many important decisions I need to discuss back home, and I can't give you an answer right now..."

"Mr. Yuki."

Just as Yuki Shozo was speaking, Ashikaga Miwa, sitting behind a large desk, interrupted him in a calm tone.

"The company you work for has been officially acquired by me today, so feel free to speak your mind if you have any opinions."

"what?"

Upon hearing Ashikaga Miwa's words, Yuki Shozo and Yuki Kyoko could no longer remain calm, both staring in disbelief.

real or fake?

Acquired?

As CEO, Shozo Yuki was used to company-to-company acquisitions, but he had never seen an acquisition like the one by Miwa Ashikaga, which was described in such a calm tone as if she were saying, "I bought a drink at the convenience store today."

"Of course, if you are interested, you can sign a contract with me later, and I will transfer ownership of the company to you."

Upon hearing Ashikaga Miwa's words, Yuuki Shozo and Yuuki Kyoko were once again shocked.
