Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Luo Ya completely ignored these guys and followed the young man forward with a blank expression.

The young man took Luo Ya to a supermarket next to the hospital and bought a fruit basket. He smiled at Luo Ya and said, "Take this first. When you go over, just say it's a gift from you."

Luo Ya nodded. If it weren't for this guy reminding him, he probably would have gone in empty-handed.

The young man patted Roya on the shoulder, smiled, and said, "Let's go then."

Having someone familiar with the area is so convenient; you don't need to ask about many things yourself. The person expertly led Luo Ya into the elevator, pressed the button for the eighth floor, and the elevator doors closed, slowly ascending towards the eighth floor.

The hospital is the best in the city, famous for its excellent treatment methods and recovery rate. It gathers the best doctors in all of Japan and is the kind of hospital that only the very wealthy can afford to stay in.

Asuna Yuuki's room wasn't far away. The elevator quickly stopped on the eighth floor. The elevator doors opened, and the young man took the lead, quickly bringing Roya to Asuna's room.

The room was large and clean, and Yuuki Asuna lay on the hospital bed in the center. The girl was wearing a hospital gown and her face was pale.

The girl did not open her eyes. She had a ventilator on her face, glucose in her right arm, and her face was deathly pale.

This is quite normal. Even with glucose infusion, lying on your back in bed for a long time can cause varying degrees of muscle damage, and most people would need to rest properly for one or two weeks.

Roya's gaze lingered on the girl's youthful face, his expression carrying a hint of complexity.

A long time has passed, and Luo Ya is now surrounded by many girls.

But the one in front of me is my first lover.

Before Roya could finish his reflection, the two people inside the house quickly noticed the young man's arrival. Yuki's mother didn't recognize Roya at first, but she realized who he was only after the young man introduced him.

"Oh, it's Naoki." Kyoko Yuuki forced a smile, waved, and gestured for Roya to sit down.

Luo Ya handed the fruit platter to the middle-aged man standing to the side, nodded to Kyoko Yuuki, and then sat down in a chair to look at Asuna lying on the bed.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then whispered a few words in his mother's ear. The mother looked shocked and bewildered. After a while, she finally turned her gaze to the young man.

Chapter 382 Solving the Trouble

Years later, the young man has become even more handsome. Now, even Kyoko Yuuki has to admit that Roja is an extremely outstanding young man.

The young man glanced at everyone expressionlessly. After giving a few simple greetings, Luo Ya sat down in his chair and remained silent.

Kyoko Yuuki did ask Roya a few questions, the first few being polite exchanges. Roya answered them half-heartedly, the young man not very interested. What he needed to do now was to stay by Asuna Yuuki's side and wait for that scumbag to come out.

Finally, Kyoko Yuuki couldn't help but ask, "Um, did you also enter that death game?"

Luo Ya nodded slightly, his expression unreadable.

Kyoko Yuuki was silent for a moment, then sighed with feigned regret, "Sigh, it's really regrettable that this kind of thing happened so suddenly. Several years have been wasted like this, sigh."

Roya glanced at Kyoko Yuuki, his expression somewhat strange, and said, "Is all you care about is the wasted years of your daughter's life?"

Kyoko Yuuki was slightly taken aback, then her expression turned somewhat displeased. She put on a stern face and said, "Otherwise what? My obedient and well-behaved daughter, ruining her future because of this stupid game, really."

Roya immediately lost interest and said directly, "That game is a death game, you know that, right? Now you should be worried about your daughter, not complaining to me about how precious the lost time is."

Roya's words were also quite blunt. Roya was used to being assertive and was invincible in that world. Hearing mistakes in other people's words, he naturally felt very unhappy and spoke quite directly.

Kyoko Yuuki blushed, but she couldn't refute what the young man said. Her face turned quite ugly, and after a long silence, she glared at her other son and said fiercely, "If you hadn't brought the company's old helmet home, Asuna wouldn't have been curious enough to wear it. It's all your fault, you irresponsible brother."

The young man remained silent, and everyone knew that Kyoko Yuuki was holding her breath. Being scolded by Kyoko Yuuki at this moment might not be a bad thing.

The elderly father standing nearby offered words of comfort: "That's enough. Since things have come to this, let's just say less. She's your daughter, and he's your son. Let's just keep quiet."

Following the gaze conveyed by the other person's words, Luo Ya saw a burly man around fifty years old. He wore a well-fitting three-piece suit, and his taut face, disproportionate to his physique, exuded a remarkably capable energy. Only his slicked-back silver hair hinted at the torment he had endured over the past two years.

Luo Ya sighed, noticing the listlessness of everyone present.

After all, it's understandable that this would happen, right?

Upon hearing this, Kyoko Yuuki let out a long sigh, though her expression remained somewhat somber.

For a moment, none of them spoke.

Everyone fell silent.

Luo Ya withdrew his gaze and looked again at the girl lying on the hospital bed.

A large amount of glossy, deep chestnut hair was scattered on the mattress, and perhaps under the light and shadow, the girl's hair appeared somewhat sacred.

She doesn't seem to have lost much weight. The smooth curve from her neck to her collarbone is practically unchanged from when she was in that world.

Luo Ya began to try to recall the girl from that world, and the memories began to overlap.

Luo Ya recalled those pink lips, the girl's warm body temperature, and details he had previously overlooked.

At that time, although I was a clone, I would occasionally go over and take over my own body to experience that feeling.

His memory returned to that year, to the time when he met her. She opened her chestnut eyes and looked at Roya with a smile.

"Get up!" she called to Roya in her pure, cheerful, and smooth voice, a voice from which sorrow could never touch. She brought her face, radiating youthful vitality and slyness, close to Roya's face.

The scene abruptly ends there.

Lying before Roya now is a girl with her eyes closed, seemingly unable to open them forever.

Luo Ya took a deep breath and then sighed.

Roya began to recall more details about Asuna Yuuki.

She was a quiet girl, yet also a cunning one.

She was quite different from the young lady Luo Ya remembered from his previous life. Because she influenced the other person too early, her personality became somewhat quirky.

No, it should be said that Asuna Yuuki is just like that by nature; it's just that my appearance made the girl more honest.

The more he thought about it, the colder Roya's expression became.

Forget it, let's just kill that person.

Luo Ya remained expressionless, his face as cold as ice.

Asuna Yuuki's soul should still be trapped in that world, the world called Fairy Forest. Roya was too lazy to go through those things step by step, like leveling up by defeating monsters, and finally defeating the scumbag to rescue Asuna Yuuki.

After a moment's thought, Roya said directly, "Yuuki Asuna's situation is a bit strange."

This was the first sentence he uttered after a long silence.

However, it was precisely this sentence that drew everyone's attention.

Kyoko Yuuki pursed her lips and couldn't help but sneer, "Strange? Aren't you just stating the obvious? All the survivors in this hospital have woken up, but my daughter is the only one who hasn't. Isn't that strange?"

Luo Ya glanced at Kyoko Yuuki and continued, "Kayaba Akihiko should be considered a trustworthy person. He said that if the game is completed, all the survivors will be released."

“But now…” Kyoko Yuuki couldn’t help but retort, but Roya glanced at her and interrupted her directly, “Yes, your granddaughter Asuna Yuuki hasn’t come out yet. Don’t you find that strange?”

After Luo Ya said that, everyone present fell silent.

Asuna Yuuki's older brother glanced at Roya and said directly, "Kiritani Naoki, just say what you want to say. There's no need to hold back."

Roya's gaze was deep and he said in a deep voice, "I used to be a tutor and I know the background of the Yuuki family. You are the biggest investor and the strongest backer in this SAO world. I'm sure you know more about the birth of this death game than I do."

Everyone's faces fell when this was mentioned.

SAO, or the Death Game, is something no one wants to talk about right now.

Because of the creation of this game, many people have died. Now, there are voices of condemnation against SAO all over Japan. Even the Yuki family, the behind-the-scenes shareholder, has suffered a heavy blow.

Luo Ya's bluntness in bringing this up is undoubtedly like rubbing salt into everyone's wounds.

Despite their displeasure, no one interrupted Luo Ya. They wanted to see what else he had to say.

Luo Ya asked, "Have you noticed anyone suspicious lately?"

The person Roya was questioning was Yuuki Asuna's father, Yuuki Shozo.

Yuki Akira was taken aback. He scratched his head, somewhat not understanding the meaning behind Roya's words.

"What do you mean by 'suspicious person'?" He was somewhat puzzled.

Roya spoke again, reminding him, "SAO is a vast world, and there must be some data backups within the company. Don't tell me you don't know. Even if Kayaba Akihiko destroyed part of the database, some would still remain. So why did everyone else wake up, but Yuuki Asuna didn't?"

Shozo Yuki pondered for a moment, then continued listening to Roya's speech.

Roya's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said directly, "Have you encountered anything related to Yuuki Asuna recently? I suspect that the reason Yuuki Asuna is stuck in that world is definitely man-made."

"If it was done by someone, then the other party must have had ulterior motives. And someone with ulterior motives who could do something like this must have been involved in the development of this game and played a very important role in it. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Roya's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

He almost explicitly named someone as a mole in your company.

Luo Ya knew the plot and the outcome, so there was naturally no major problem with his logic in saying such things.

The reason why Yuki and his family were kept in the dark was not because they were not smart enough, but because they were too caught up in the situation to see the truth.

The matter itself is suspicious, and it becomes clear with a little thought.

On one hand, the Yuuki family is in dire straits due to the failure of SAO's financing, and now one person is leading them out of this predicament. On the other hand, they are unwilling to think about or explore the shadows lurking beneath the surface.

But after Luo Ya's reminder, everyone's expressions instantly turned ugly.

Especially Yuki Shozo, who murmured a name.

And the name was none other than "Xuxiang".

Xuxiang?

It seems that's who that man is.
