It was all in the unspoken words.
Honestly, Roy was envious, however, looking at Asuna next to him, the other party turned her head away with a little girl's shy posture.
Unconsciously, Roy's back straightened a little more.
Kirito shook his head breathlessly, ignored Roy, and left the place with Misumi.
The only two left were Roy and Asuna.
Roy smiled and reached out to take the other's hand, walking towards the inn.
At the inn stand was a girl with a clean face, about fifteen or sixteen years old in high school, and of course, the other party was an NPC.
When she saw Roy and Asuna coming, she smiled and asked the two how many rooms they needed.
Asuna did not open her mouth, and Roy looked at each other, Roy understood in a second, this is the embodiment of people's girl shyness, embarrassed to say it out loud, being the understanding Roy took the lead and said, "Well, then let's have a room, one for the two of us."
After saying that, he wrapped his arms around Asuna's slender waist.
As his own girl was growing up, Roy had no reason to refuse.
Of course this was limited to Benzina, who was actually a decent person.
This NPC girl also revealed an understanding smile, only Asuna always felt slightly uncomfortable when she looked at the other's smile.
But without waiting for Asuna to think more, Roy had already brought Asuna to the door of the room.
Then, opening the door.
Roy took the lead and stepped inside the room, turning on the lights of the room, which was large, and unlike the rooms on the lower floors, the house was fully equipped with shower facilities.
It also saved unnecessary trouble.
The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was neatly folded, Roy took the lead and walked in, Asuna stumbled behind the door, hesitating at the critical moment.
Roy entered the room, looked back at the other party, smiled and teased, "Asuna what's wrong? It's too late to back out now."
Asuna eventually walked into the room.
"So, I'll take a shower first?" Roy flashed a smile at Asuna and headed towards the shower room inside the house.
Asuna, on the other hand, was on pins and needles at that moment, inexplicably, she thought of that peaceful night before, of that soft feeling, only the more she thought about it, the more she felt her heart beating faster.
Clean white beige room, against the wall placed a very large bed, Asuna thoughts like numbness, sitting on the crispy soft bed, looking at the moonlight outside the house.
"The moon is beautiful."
Asuna murmured, listening to the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom, she subconsciously gulped, and when she thought of that intimate contact not long ago, Asuna's face became hotter and hotter.
Wasn't she being a bit wilful? Would it give the other party the impression that she was casual? Shouldn't she reject it first later?
Inside the shower room, Roy didn't know Asuna's thoughts.
He was currently in a very torn state.
It suddenly occurred to him that if he didn't go and control it, the other party would be in a state that mimicked his own state to carry out his daily life.
At that thought, Roy's expression looked very strange.
How could this be said? Himself being ntr'd by himself?
How about, going out and asking the system?
Moreover, thinking about it carefully, one would realize the many things that were not well thought out before.
Subconsciously, he tapped on the system interface to ask the system.
[Roy]
[Level: 55
[Strength: C+
[Agility: C
[Stamina: C
[Intelligence: B+
[Luck: E
[Sword Techniques:
[Sword God Style: Draw Slash, Berserk Mode, Sword God Style, with most foundational sword techniques incorporated.
[Unique Sword Technique: Draw Slash Arts]
The Draw Slash Arts is a unique skill that Roy acquired not long ago. Compared to other unique skills, its difficulty level isn't particularly high. As long as one's proficiency with a one-handed sword reaches a certain threshold and critical strikes are triggered frequently, this exclusive skill becomes attainable—similar to Kirito's Dual Wielding.
At the moment, however, Roy's attention wasn't fixed on his attributes. Instead, he tentatively spoke aloud:
"System, are you there?"
He couldn't help but feel curious. Was this system nothing more than a lifeless interface with no interactive elements?
To his surprise, his question elicited a response.
But it was… odd.
The reply came as a single line of text:
[Respected Host, do you have any requests?]
Roy stared at the tiny words, lost in thought.
"Host?" Right, he had nearly forgotten—he was essentially an admin in this world.
Still, why had the system remained completely silent until now? For a moment, he'd thought the system had broken down or something.
From outside the room, Asuna's voice echoed.
"Roy, are you done washing up yet?"
"Almost."
Then, lowering his voice irritably, he muttered to the system, "Why haven't you said anything until now?"
Due to the lack of any functional guidance, he had suffered quite a bit early on.
[Respected Host, this system only responds to relevant queries. You have not asked any questions about the system. This was your first inquiry.]
Roy sighed, rubbing his forehead in frustration. He followed up with another question.
"Once I complete the current mission, can I return to this world?"
[Yes. The world's coordinates have been logged. You can return using the appropriate amount of spatial energy.]
"Can I bring someone from this world back to my original world?"
This time, the system didn't answer immediately. After a brief pause, its cold, electronic voice returned:
[Yes, but this requires consuming an S-tier mission privilege.]
Roy fell silent, pondering the response. On further thought, he realized that the privilege wasn't particularly useful to him.
For a regular Envoy of the Primordial God, such a reward would be immensely valuable. But the problem was that his system shop wasn't even unlocked yet.
Still, those concerns could wait. Right now, what worried him most was whether he'd inadvertently betray himself.
Roy's expression turned serious as he bluntly asked the system:
"Based on my other self habits, if my primary consciousness isn't in control, will there be any NTR-like behavior?"
Technically, cheating on himself probably didn't count as cheating… but the thought left a peculiar discomfort in his chest.
[Specialized term detected. Analyzing context... Understood. Answer: No. During simulation, no physical interaction will occur. The simulated personality will adhere strictly to the original character's traits. However, if you have specific needs, you can purchase custom services with an A-tier privilege.]
Who the hell would want something like that?!
Despite his outrage, Roy felt a wave of relief. Then again, when he thought about it from another perspective, his expression turned strange all over again.
