Kasumigaoka, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows slightly.
It's normal for Aoba, as a chef, not to know much about it, but as someone involved in the light novel and ACG circles, she does know.
SAO is a game created by an electronics company to complement its self-developed VR device.
Kasumigaoka was well aware that many light novel authors whose works had already been adapted into anime had discussed the impact this game would have on the light novel industry in the editorial group.
They even claimed it was a technology that could revolutionize the times.
However, she doesn't really enjoy playing games, so she hasn't looked into it in depth.
"I don't usually play games."
Aoba hesitated slightly.
He does understand VR games.
However, since he wasn't particularly interested in games, suddenly switching to a game powered by entirely new technology probably wouldn't provide a great gaming experience.
His reply left Asuna visibly disappointed.
"but..."
"It would be nice to experience it. And since it's a VR game, does it have a cooking system?"
Aoba changed the subject and asked with a smile.
This made Asuna's lips curl into a smile again.
Although Aoba's words seemed to be meant to comfort Asuna, he was actually quite curious himself.
The game world...
I guess it can be considered another world, right?
The ingredients and dishes from that other world can probably help you improve your cooking skills, right?
Even if you can't, experiencing a product of the new era is still worthwhile.
"There should be some. Want to try them together later?"
Asuna invited her with a smile.
Before Aoba could speak, Kasumigaoka's expression changed.
But before she could react, Asuna invited her as well: "Shiha, would you like to come along?"
This caught Kasumigaoka off guard.
"OK then."
Faced with the invitation, she could only hastily accept it.
"Do we need to buy any VR equipment?"
Aoba asked a question.
Asuna nodded firmly, then winked confidently at Aoba, like a fellow fan who had successfully recommended the product:
"Leave this to me!"
The girl confidently raised her head.
Aoba's expression didn't change much, but Futaro and Kasumigaoka were a little surprised.
However, time was running out for Asuna. After hurriedly saying a few words, she bid farewell to everyone and walked out of the store.
After she left, Kasumigaoka poked Aoba.
"It seems Asuna is also from a wealthy family."
"Why? (The rest of the text appears to be a fragmented and nonsensical string of characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted or incomplete sentence.)"
"That VR device is the latest model, so it's bound to be expensive, but Asuna doesn't care at all..."
"how much is it?"
"According to their estimate, it will cost at least 200,000 yen."
"Huh!? Playing a game is this expensive?!"
Aoba was genuinely surprised.
It's just a game, is it worth spending so much money to experience it?
"But since someone's giving it to us, Shop Manager just needs to play games with Asuna. After all, she's... a big customer!"
Seeing Aoba's surprised expression, Kasumigaoka said with a hint of sourness and sarcasm.
"Huh? Is Ms. Kasumi jealous?"
"Who's jealous! Ouch~ It's so spicy~~~"
"Haha, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some vinegar."
As Asuna stepped out of the store and was about to go up the steps, a figure appeared in front of her.
Upon seeing it, her expression instantly turned to shock, even showing a hint of awe.
"Hello, Miss Shinomiya."
Kaguya looked at Asuna, who had bowed and greeted her beforehand, and a hint of doubt appeared in her cold red eyes.
"you are?"
The girl's voice remained devoid of any emotion, and Hayasaka, standing beside her, also looked at Asuna with a cold expression.
"I am Asuna Yuuki, the daughter of Mr. Shozo Yuuki, Shizuka Shizuka.
Upon hearing Asuna's self-introduction, Kaguya finally understood.
Immediately, a polite smile instinctively appeared on his face.
"So she's Mr. Jiecheng's daughter."
"Yes."
"What's up?"
"No, nothing."
"That's good. Miss Jiecheng, please step aside."
Kaguya said to Asuna with a polite smile.
She didn't like this kind of aimless chatter, and she had absolutely no desire to make friends right now.
Asuna, who knew the personality of the young lady from the Shinomiya family very well, made way for them.
The two then walked down the steps without even glancing at Asuna.
Asuna helplessly revealed a bitter smile.
How could she possibly have the right to question Kaguya and Hayasaka's rude behavior?
The four palaces.
These two words already represent authority.
Even her father, upon seeing the aloof girl before him, had to nod and smile obsequiously.
However, what puzzled Asuna the most was...
Does the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family also know the shop manager?
After all, there's only one shop, Aoba, at the bottom of these steps. It's impossible that they came here for a stroll so late, right?
My mind was a bit of a mess as I walked out of the alley.
She didn't dare to stay in one place and observe Kaguya and Hayasaka for too long.
After all, she had heard that the Shinomiya family was notoriously difficult to get along with, and there were even rumors that they were ruthless.
It's best to avoid committing the offense if possible.
"Hayasaka, what does the Yuki Group do?"
"They are a large company that manufactures electronic components. Some time ago, they intended to discuss cooperation with the Shinomiya family, but the head of the family refused."
Kaguya only remembers the name Yuuki Shozo
She didn't pay much attention to the rest.
To put it a little too bluntly, the other party's industry is not enough to attract Kaguya Shinomiya's attention.
But at this moment, Kaguya was a little curious.
It's a bit strange for the eldest daughter of the Yuki family to come to such a small shop.
Thinking of this, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
She laughs at others, but isn't she the same?
Chapter 206 Kaguya-sama Doesn't Want the Attention! A Meeting of Imperial Arms Users!
Kaguya and Hayasaka walked to the store entrance.
But the two stopped one after the other just as they were about to reach the blue bricks at the door.
Kaguya was in front but did not open the door.
Hayasaka followed behind, waiting patiently.
At this moment, the young lady of the Shinomiya family has very complicated feelings.
She didn't know how to face the people inside.
call--
Don't be nervous, it's nothing.
The girl's breathing became slightly heavier, as if she hadn't fully recovered from a fever.
The scene of being rescued by Aoba in the heavy rain yesterday evening is still lingering in my mind.
The key point is that in that memory, she seemed to have done something extraordinary!
