Chapter 40 – Tower of Trials ① - Strawberry Lilies

――Shuuuuun……….

… Yes. I’m logged in. I’m Ayane.

Now I’m in the Tower of Trials….

Eh? Why am I not feeling well?

That is――

――

――――

「Aya’s body is so soft~!」

「R- Really?」

「That’s right」

It was during PE class today.

We’re going to do some warm-up exercises, and then we’re going to stretch out afterwards, and then we’re going to… yeah.

Currently, I’m spreading my legs and leaning my body forward. Suzu is pushing me from behind, and I feel indescribable because her che- chechechest is touching my back.

「H- Hey? Suzu?」

「What is it?」

「Y- Your chest is…」

「Eeh? What? 」

「T- That! Your Che- Chechest…」

「You have to say it out loud. I・can’t・hear・you?」

I could feel my face burning as Suzu whispered in my ear.

「! ? Suzu! ?」

「…」

「Stop it! Wha! ?」

「Aaaaaa… It’s so soft…」

Hey, hey. What are you imagining?

It’s my belly that’s being rubbed right now, you know!

「Then this one…」

「Eh? Uwa! ! Hey, stop it! !」

Suzu’s hand, which had been rubbing my stomach, gradually moved upward until it was almost touching――

「Hey, you guys! What are you doing messing around! !」

「「I- I’m sorry! ! (! ?)」」

Our PE teacher warned us.

Why… ? It’s not my fault…? ?

――――

――

And well, here’s what happened…

After that, even during the volleyball game, she’ll keep touching me…

Following me to every class…

It’s been a tough day…

I was so worn out that I challenged the Tower of Trials.

I wonder if I can handle it feeling like this…

Yesterday, I logged out right after I went through the gate, so today is a continuation of that.

The place where I passed through the gate was a huge hallway made entirely of marble and decorated in a luxurious way.

Directly opposite to where I was… About 100 meters away…? was a large door.

I walked on the red carpet straight to the door and looked around at the empty space besides the decorations.

When I finally got to the door, it opened by itself.

「… Poltergeist phenomenon? … So much for the jokes. Should I go in here?」

… Tokotokotoko.

――Kyiiiin……

「T- Too bright!」

I open my eyes to see if everything is okay by now, and I find myself in an area of fresh-smelling grassland.

I look behind me, but there’s nothing there, just fields of grass… There’s nothing! ?

「Oh, no. I think I’m gonna be stuck here until I die」

A girl alone in the middle of a field of grass.

「What am I supposed to do…」

I was inside the building, but now this scenery makes me feel like I’m outside.

「… It’s beautiful, though! ………. It’s beautiful, though! !」

While Ayane is alone and depressed, a shadow comes to her…

「―― ! !」

――Supan……

A sharp cutting edge trimmed off a tuft of Ayane’s hair.

「Come on!」

――Shu!

I slashed the enemy with Homurakazezanmaru that I had hurriedly picked up to counter.

But it was avoided.

I confronted the thing that had attacked me.

「《Appraisal》」

「I didn’t do anything bad! ?」

A scream was heard in the Tower of Trials.

Tower of Trials

Enemies of the same race as the ones you’ve fought before will appear. The level of the enemy is determined by measuring the level and skill of the challenger.

The floors also vary from person to person, with some reaching completion on the first floor and others ending on the 999th floor.

A true test.
