Event 110: return to reality

Beep Beep ... BEEP!

Soon the screens in the immersion room had red letters indicating Haruta and Yamamoto's disconnection from the Fantasy Links.

No more than ten seconds passed when Asumi and Kiyoko ran into the room, both of them staying awake waiting for the duet's scheduled return.

"ugh ...." Haruta was the first to remove the Fantasy Link that covered his eyes "The feeling is weird ..."

"Haruta!" Kiyoko threw herself on Haruta's chest rubbing her face on Haruta's bare chest "I was very worried"

Seeing the reaction of the black-haired woman, Haruta could not do more than put her hand on Kiyoko's head and caress her lightly "I told you before, everything will be fine"

"Even so this was too risky, you modified the whole device to enter a video game that already has many victims" Kiyoko began reproaching the duo's actions making these two only laugh.

"I guess now we have to go to school, Kiyoko and Yamamoto are in third grade so they can't miss classes if they want to go to university. Asumi-senpai is also in third year and can't miss classes. I on the other hand am a genius and I can stay at home "

"No, you have to come to class otherwise you will connect on that thing again" Kiyoko pulled Haruta's arm towards her breasts causing the latter's face to color slightly.

"Gezz ... so Haruta-kohai has a weakness towards Kiyoko-san" Asumi stared at the reaction of both of them while laughing lightly, Yamamoto on the other hand just rubbed the back of his neck as he kept lying with Asumi sitting on him.

'I really have nothing to say about Haruta in this situation' Yamamoto said in her mind

Soon the four of them were in school, Haruta had attended spontaneously due to the development of the Fantasy Link and the unfinished business at hand "Sigh ...." sighed Haruta walking down the hall and was soon at the door of her classroom.

"Oh, good morning Saya" as usual when opening the door the first person the black-haired man saw was the daughter of the Takagi family, Saya Takagi

Just hearing Haruta call her name in public made Saya face completely red showing her embarrassment.

"Saya?!" Rei exclaimed who was nearby and heard how he had called the red-haired genius, just like Rei everyone was muttering things about a possible rapprochement between the two students after all no one had called the genius by her real name before, an event outside of the normal

Haruta did not give importance to the comments and advanced towards his position where he was assaulted by Rei and Komuro "So why is this closeness with the genius lady of our class due?" Rei was the first to ask, more curious than the rest, obviously gossip was her thing

"I don't remember anyone calling Takagi by her name, I've known her since elementary school and I still use her last name to call her, you must have made incredible progress with her" laughed Komuro looking at his friend

"It's nothing really, she allows me to call her whatever I want and I think her name is the best option after all it's lovely to see her blush like that" Haruta laughed making the duo in front of him look at each other in dismay.

On the other hand, in the first places Saya had her face completely red, she was listening to everything that Haruta was talking about causing more than one emotion in her mind and ending her tranquility.

"Hisashi is paler, you look worse and worse old, you should visit a doctor" Haruta looked at the young man who was leaning on the table, since the arrival of the black-haired man until now he had been silent so he caught the attention of the latter

Rei approached and touched Hisashi's face with her palms "He doesn't seem to have a fever or to be too cold, it's just the color of his skin"

"It's nothing to worry about, I'm just eating a little less or it could be sports excess, maybe I should rest a bit" Hisashi said understanding to excuse himself making the trio look at each other with doubts in his mind "You shouldn't worry about these little things Haruta, you have more things on your mind like the situation with Asuna-san, she's in the hospital locked up in that video game right? "

The expression on Haruta's face twitched slightly but she soon managed to calm down "Yes, I don't have permission to see her directly but I can sneak in to see her secretly"

"But I heard that it is in a luxury hospital on the top floor and should be guarded by guards all day" Rei spoke, as her father is a policeman she had a certain degree of access to information and how the Yuuki family was famous is

Saya glanced at Haruta, she knew very well about Asuna's condition but she also knew that for Haruta it must be impossible to see her directly.

"I just went up to the second to last floor and then climbed through the outside to Asuna's window" Haruta said normally while in her mind she remembered how her parkour ability helped her to climb several floors on the outside since when using the camouflage skill she

"You climb the hospital building from the outside ?!" the trio exclaimed while hearing Haruta's statement.

"Are you crazy?!" Komuro put her hands on Haruta's shoulders and shook her twice "That building is twenty-five stories high and there isn't a single balcony to lean on, how could you possibly do it?"

"It was just a little skill that I have in practice" Haruta murmured, if it weren't for her personality as Aahrtu it would be impossible for her to get to that point in the building, that's one of the things she should thank herself

"Haruta-kun, Professor Kurisu wants to see you in her office during break" A girl called out to the black-haired man from the door while her face revealed a certain degree of embarrassment.

"Ah, thank you" Haruta replied with a smile causing the girl to blush a lot more and run out of the room.

Outside the room I could see how the girl was congratulated by her companions as if it were a great achievement, Haruta saw the scene and could not help laughing in an uncomfortable way.
