Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Team of Two
Kirito took out the bread and took a bite as if nothing happened, not caring about Asuna's actions, before meeting Katsuragi, he was more vigilant than her, and even didn't want to contact anyone again because of Klein's matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Do you really think it's delicious?" Asuna's slightly hesitant voice came from under the cloak, as if wondering Kirito's taste.
"Of course!" Kirito said, turning his head to look at Asuna under the cloak, "After coming to this town, I will eat at least once a day, but it will take some thought. ā
"Thoughts?"
Kirito couldn't see the expression under Asuna's cloak, but she could guess that she must have been even more confused at this time, so she took out the 'cream' that was the reward for completing the task, and said to Asuna, "You try to use it on that bread!"
Asuna glanced at Kirito, although she was a little hesitant, but curious, she still clicked on the ordinary-looking jar, and then a burst of blue light emitted from her fingers, indicating that she could use it, and wiped it on the bread.
Some golden sticky stuff appeared on the bread with the movement of her fingers, and Asuna looked at the bread in her hand and was surprised: "Cream?"
Turning her head to look at Kirito who was already eating, Asuna was entangled for a long time, and decided to taste the taste, and took a bite into the buttered bread, and a sweet taste came from her mouth.
Asuna, who hadn't felt the delicious taste for a month, paused to reminisce in the face of this familiar taste, and then quickly ate the bread in two bites, and let out a comfortable sigh.
Kirito, who had been paying attention to the movement beside him, watched Asuna's movements, and explained: "This is the reward for the task I received in the previous village, and the mission name is the cow of counterattack, if you want to sit, I can tell you the trick." ā
Looking at Kirito who asked her, Asuna shook her head and said softly, "I didn't come to this town to eat delicious food. ā
"What's that for?"
"In order to continue to be myself, rather than locking myself up in the hotel of Initial Town and gradually becoming corrupt, I would rather use myself to usher in the last moment. For some reason, Asuna told Kirito and told her feelings: "Even if I lose to a monster and die, I don't want to export this game and this world... Absolutely not. ā
Kirito looked at Asuna in front of her, understood her mood, didn't explode in silence, she died in silence, and said slowly: "I don't want to see my teammates die in front of my eyes, at least you can't die tomorrow." ā
After that, Kirito and Asuna sat quietly, the two were not talking, and with the end of the banquet, Katsuragi also found Kirito who was with Asuna, but because it was getting late, it was too late to introduce Asuna to Nanamiya and them, so I had to wait for the gathering tomorrow morning.
Katsuragi and Asuna said, gather a little earlier tomorrow, he has something to say to her, and tells her to rest well next night, so he takes Kiritto back to the hotel to prepare for rest, as for how many rooms are opened, this will not be written, after all, it is a straight man, although Kiriko is quite cute.
After a night of silence, early the next morning, Katsuragi and Kirito, along with Nanamiya and Sirika, came to the agreed place with Asuna.
Asuna was still dressed in the same outfit, a reddish-brown cloak that wrapped her tightly so tightly that it was impossible to see.
"Good morning!" Katsuragi greeted Asuna with a smile, then walked up to Nanamiya and Sirika, and said, "You left a little early yesterday and forgot to introduce you, which are also teammates in the squad, Sophia and Sirika." ā
Asuna glanced at Nanamiya and Sirika, and found that it was two lovely girls, one of whom looked very small, and the expression under the cloak was a little surprised, but no one saw it.
"Hello!" Asuna nodded to Nanamiya and Sirika, whispered, and didn't speak again.
"Hello, Asuna, why do you have to wear a cloak?" asked Asuna, who was silent, with curiosity.
"Uh, that... I'm sorry, but how did you know my name?" Hearing Nanamiya's words, Asuna was stunned, she remembered that she didn't seem to have introduced herself, how did Nanamiya know her name.
"Huh!?" Nannomiya was confused by Asuna's question, and then said, "Don't you know? In the upper left corner of the interface, you should be able to see it in the team information, right?"
"I see!"
Katsuragi could see Asuna's gaze move up to the left, and suddenly realized.
"Haven't you formed a team yet?" Looking at Asuna's appearance, Katsuragi asked cautiously as if he had thought of something.
"Hmm!" Asuna's flat tone said the fact that Katsuragi was a little helpless.
"You shouldn't know much about switching or something, right?" Katsura continued to ask, it's better to figure it out, it's a matter of life, and you can't be careless.
"Switch?" Even if he couldn't see his expression, Katsuragi could guess that Asuna was also suspicious at this time.
"Alas!" Katsuragi sighed and explained to Asuna, "When the monster attacks, after one person resists the monster's attack, the other person takes his place or attacks the monster to ensure the safety of the previous person!"
"I see!" Asuna nodded, looking understanding, although it was covered by the cloak, but Katsuragi could imagine it when he heard the tone.
"Well, the good thing is that we've been given the task of cleaning up the kobold guards. Gui Mu replied helplessly and said, "Because Celica doesn't participate, there are only four people in our team. ā
"But now Asuna has never formed a team, and if the four of them are together, it will be difficult to cooperate, so I want to split into two teams. Katsuragi looked at Kirito and Asuna and spoke.
"Is it a team of two?" Kirito thought for a moment, it was indeed feasible, after all, they were just the monsters summoned by the leader, and if there were two people, one person was responsible for blocking the monster and the other was responsible for attacking, but it was safer.
Asuna also nodded, following Katsuragi's arrangement.
"So... Asuna, you and Kirito are in a team!" Katsuragi glanced at Kirito apologetically, after all, Asuna had never formed a team, but let him hand over the Seven Palaces to others, even if it was Kirito, he was not at ease, so he said, "I'm in a group with Sophia." ā
Kirito didn't think about it that much, and before he met Katsuragi, he basically hadn't teamed up with anyone, but during the closed beta, there were still quite a lot of teams in the group.
After deciding on the team, the Katsura Kikuriren had another breakfast together, and when the appointed time was reached, all the raiders arrived, and then went to the leader's room in the labyrinth area with them.
In the forest area of the first layer, Katsuragi and Nanamiya walked together, Kirito and Asuna were behind them, and since Asuna had never formed a team, Kirito told Asuna as much as he knew about it.
"The kobold guard's weapon is a long-handled axe, and when they attack, I'll use my sword skills to deflect their attacks, and you're going to have to switch in with your movements, understand?" Kirito said to Asuna as he walked.
"Hmm!" Asuna nodded, indicating that she understood, because it was at stake for their life and death, Asuna replied seriously.
As the team advanced, they destroyed monsters along the way, turned left and right, and finally came to the leader's room.
"So it's here!" Katsuragi sighed a little, he had been around here before, but he hadn't found the leader's room, otherwise he might have to come alone to try the leader's level first, even if he couldn't beat it, it would be no problem to escape.
After all, the rewards for the bosses on each floor of the maze area are arguably the best in the entire game, and most of them are unique items.
"Everyone, we will definitely win!" said Ti Aiberu, the leader of the battle, in front of the leader's room, because many monsters have been eliminated along the way, and this team has also run in some cooperation, and everyone is now in high spirits.
"It's coming!"
Katsuragi looked at Ti Aiberu, who slowly pushed open the door, and clenched the Qinggang Sword that he had brushed out in the practice area before, and the first battle to Aingrunte was finally about to begin.
