Asai Yu naturally had no idea what the pink-haired girl was doing far away in Great Britain.
After returning to his own body, he continued refining Ren'ai Circulation.
Time quickly moved on to the next day.
It just so happened to be a holiday, and at exactly seven in the morning, Asai Yu entered Wakaba Mutsumi's body.
However, possibly due to some leftover system bug, every time he arrived, he would first appear in the personality space.
Of course, he was still the one holding control as the main personality.
What came into view was a green-haired girl hanging suspended in midair, sleeping soundly with soft breathing sounds.
Judging by the red beret on her head, it was clearly Mortis.
She actually wasn't killed?
Asai Yu was slightly surprised.
Even with someone this wishy-washy and thick-skinned, Wakaba Mutsumi could hold back?
Still, it was a good thing. After all, he rather liked Mortis as a mascot.
Hearing the movement, Mortis slowly opened her eyes.
"Yu? Is that you? Yu?"
"Quick, save me! I've been hanging here for more than a whole day—"
She looked as if she had seen her savior, her eyes lighting up.
But Asai Yu had no intention of letting her down. He walked over, stretched out his hand, and pinched her cheek.
"It hurts a bit, Yu…"
Mortis closed her eyes and said.
"Reflect properly here for a few more days."
After casually pinching her a couple more times, Asai Yu let go.
He then entered Wakaba Mutsumi's body.
At that moment, Wakaba Mutsumi also happened to wake up and realized she was in the personality space.
"Yu? You're here?"
She spoke up.
"Yeah, I'm here."
Asai Yu replied while tidying up his clothes and hair.
A few seconds later, Wakaba Mutsumi said slowly, "You didn't come yesterday…"
"Something came up yesterday."
Asai Yu answered.
"Did you go to Sakiko's place?"
Wakaba Mutsumi continued asking.
Seriously, why does every single one of them like asking this question?
Asai Yu didn't answer directly. Instead, he countered smoothly, "You already know something, don't you?"
"Mm. Yu used to enter Sakiko's body often too, just like now."
Wakaba Mutsumi dropped that calmly, then continued, "Besides me and Sakiko, do you enter other people's bodies as well?"
You're overlapping with Anon's character settings now.
"I do."
Asai Yu replied.
Hearing that, Wakaba Mutsumi fell silent for a long time. In the end, she softly said "Oh," and didn't speak again.
Only Mortis, still hanging in midair, stared at Wakaba Mutsumi's eerily calm expression.
So scared that she held her breath, she didn't dare make a sound, afraid of drawing her attention.
After finishing getting ready, Asai Yu first practiced drawing for an hour.
To be honest, this skill didn't seem to help him much at the moment, but having more skills never hurt.
Then, under Wakaba Mutsumi's guidance, he went to the underground practice room and maxed out an hour of guitar practice.
As for bonuses other than guitar, he didn't plan to use experience cards yet—he would save them for later.
After leaving the practice room, Asai Yu realized that the house was suddenly full of people.
"These should be people Father and Mother know, here to visit."
Wakaba Mutsumi was already very familiar with this situation.
They were probably all social elites—just looking at their bearing made it obvious.
To be honest, interacting with these people brought no benefit whatsoever to either him or Wakaba Mutsumi at their current stage.
Asai Yu was just about to return to his room.
At that moment, a girl around Wakaba Mutsumi's age stopped him. She had white hair.
"Mutsumi, good day."
"Mm, good day."
Asai Yu responded politely.
Even though he had absolutely no idea who she was.
"Um, you didn't attend ballet class the past two days, and you didn't ask for leave either. The teacher asked me to check—was there some urgent matter that kept you from coming?"
The white-haired girl asked.
"No. I just didn't feel like going."
Asai Yu replied.
Hearing that, confusion flashed through the white-haired girl's eyes.
Is that really something Mutsumi would say?
"I see… then how are you using that extra time, Mutsumi? Are you studying something else?"
As she spoke, the white-haired girl suddenly noticed the guitar leaning against his back.
"Don't tell me… Mutsumi, you're learning the guitar?"
Her voice suddenly rose quite a bit.
It immediately attracted the attention of several adults nearby.
Guitar?
The first images that popped into everyone's mind were leather jackets, tight pants, ear piercings—rock imagery.
That kind of thing…
The daughter of Wakaba Takafumi and Mori Minami was learning that?
And even cancelling ballet lessons for it?
That was… certainly a very free-spirited style of education.
The gazes around gradually shifted from curiosity to something strange, mixed with faint, deeply hidden mockery.
Some people who were quite familiar with the family even began whispering to each other, praising their own children as a way of indirectly pointing out his "problem."
In an instant, almost all of the social elites present focused their eyes on Asai Yu.
Including Wakaba Mutsumi's parents.
At that moment, inside the personality space, Wakaba Mutsumi saw this scene and her pupils shrank.
Even though she wasn't the one controlling the body right now, those gazes felt like mountains, pressing straight down on her through the screen.
So heavy that she couldn't breathe.
"Hah—hah—"
Wakaba Mutsumi's expression turned hazy as she began breathing heavily.
"Mutsumi? Mutsumi?!"
Seeing this, Mortis became extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
At the same time, Asai Yu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and dizziness.
[The intense emotions of the experience target are affecting the host]
The system notification sounded.
Asai Yu immediately checked the personality space and found that Wakaba Mutsumi's condition was seriously off.
He instantly understood the reason.
The pressure from these social elites was simply too much for Wakaba Mutsumi.
This was also one of Wakaba Mutsumi's defining traits—something that couldn't be avoided for now.
"Wakaba Mutsumi, listen to me. Calm down first. I can handle what's happening here. Trust me, okay? Can you hear me?"
Asai Yu quickly soothed her.
At the same time, he loosened the rope binding Mortis and instructed her separately, "Comfort Wakaba Mutsumi."
"Roger."
Mortis regained her freedom. Though she was happy about it, she still looked worried as she went over to Wakaba Mutsumi and began softly comforting her.
Yu…
Can handle it.
I have to trust Yu.
Thinking this, Wakaba Mutsumi took a deep breath, and her condition gradually stabilized.
Seeing that, Asai Yu finally let out a small sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to the white-haired girl in front of him.
"Yes, I'm learning guitar. Is there a problem?"
He then heard her say, "I see… but I've heard that only rebellious delinquent rock types play the guitar…"
"Um, sorry, I didn't mean that at you specifically, Mutsumi…"
She hurriedly added.
There it is—the tail finally showing.
Asai Yu had known from the start that she had ill intentions.
He didn't answer her directly. Instead, he asked, "What instrument do you play?"
Hearing that, the white-haired girl instantly became interested, a confident expression appearing on her face.
"I'm better at piano."
