The battle between Katsuragi and Yuki was basically beyond everyone's expectations, or the process was really unexpected, as for the result, in fact, most people still firmly believe that Katsuragi can win.

Looking at Yuki, who was stunned, Katsuragi smiled secretly, he expected that Yuki's current armor and equipment would definitely not be able to withstand his set of large-scale magic, so at the beginning of the duel.

He used a restricted skill at a super-fast chanting speed, and then directly chanted his own large-scale 'original magic', so that Yuki, who had just broken free, couldn't even get close, and was directly killed by Katsuragi in seconds.

It can't be said that there is no operation at all, at least if you change to someone else, the kung fu of the limited magic chanted is enough for Yuki to avoid or be vigilant, not to mention that the 'original magic' after that is not something that ordinary people can have.

"Alright, now that the battle has been fought, you can sit down and rest!"

Katsuragi came to Yuki's side, looked at her with a smile on his face, and said, "I said that you should update your equipment and come back, but you just didn't listen!

Looking at Katsuragi's appearance of winning and having to fight, Shino couldn't help but want to laugh, in fact, she knew that even if Yuki's equipment could withstand this wave of damage, Katsuragi would still have a way to defeat her.

Having seen the magic that fires at a rate similar to that of a submachine gun, coupled with her unrivaled evasion ability, Shino sometimes thinks that there is really someone in this game who can defeat Katsuragi in a one-on-one duel!?

"Stinky wood!" Yuki gritted her teeth and glared at Katsuragi, although she also thought that she might lose, but she never expected that she would lose so completely, and she was directly defeated without even touching the other party.

This made her can't help but recall the first duel with Katsuraki, and it seems that she didn't touch Katsuragi from beginning to end.

"Okay, okay!" Katsuragi didn't stimulate Yuki much, not to mention that she was not very old in the first place, plus the reason for the disease, Yuki rarely had contact with people, and it was only in recent years that she got better, so she has always been a child's character.

Gently rubbing Yuki's head, Katsuragi said with a smile: "It's rare that everyone has gotten together, let's put the battle aside first, and I'll accompany you to a good duel next time, okay?"

"Hmph!" Yuki snorted dissatisfiedly, although he didn't speak, but in terms of action, he obediently agreed to Katsuragi's request.

When Yuki, who was unhappy with his face, returned to the location of the 'Sleeping Knight', everyone began to smile and comfort Yuki.

"Yuki, don't be upset! You don't know how powerful Brother Katsura is, so it's not a shame to lose to him!" However, Chun, who admires Katsuragi very much, is not quite the right way to comfort him, but it makes Yuki even more unhappy.

"Hmph, I'll beat him sooner or later!" Yuki glared at Chun angrily, and then, as if to increase his confidence, he shook his small fist fiercely in the direction of Katsuragi, and said, "It will definitely be!"

"Hahaha!" Seeing Yuki's cute appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere of the next party is very harmonious, Shino and Celika have become very good friends with Katsuraki, and Yuta and the others are curious about the experience of Jun and Dalken in the last game they were in.

Coupled with the presence of Asuna, a master chef with full culinary skills, the food at the party is also rich and varied, full of deliciousness, which makes everyone's face smile.

However, not everyone seems to be very happy, such as the initiator of the party, our protagonist Kotori Katsuragi, who is a little restless right now, and next to him are Naoba and Nanamiya.

A little further out is chatting with Sirika.,By the way, I've been sneaking my eyes at his Shina.,Opposite is sitting with Rokuka.,Yuki glaring at him fiercely while eating food.。

In fact, for Katsuragi, Yuki's gaze is better, and the most important thing is that he seems to have noticed that Nanamiya and Naoba have noticed Shino's different attitude towards him.

"Katsuragi, I heard that there is a Radiant Divine Bow in this game, can you give it to me?" At this moment, Shino suddenly came to Katsuragi's side and looked at him with a cute look and said.

"Ugh!"

"Xiao Mu ......" Naoba beside Katsuragi also looked at him with a smile after hearing it, although the voice was very gentle, but the words in it made Katsuragi break out in a cold sweat: "Can you explain why you haven't been going with me to complete the task of that magic sword recently!"

"Demon King!" Nanamiya also looked over, looked at Shino and Naoha, and also said, "Didn't you say before that you were going to go with me to find Shalan? It's been so long, it's time to act!"

“……”

Gui Mu felt that it would be good if he knew how to do a doppelganger technique now, in that case, he would be able to complete three tasks at the same time, and he would not look at the girls in front of him and break out in a cold sweat.

"Ahem!" Katsuragi coughed dryly, his mind searching for a solution, and his instinct told him that if he didn't handle it well, the boat of friendship might capsize.

"Shina, the Radiant Divine Bow is equivalent to an artifact, and with the current progress of the game, it will basically not be opened so early!" Katsura first replied to Shino, and then looked at Naoye: "Xiao Zhi, this is not about to start school, Sister Liuhua still has a lot of homework to complete, and I have been helping her!"

Liuhua on the opposite side looked over, looked at Guimu's pitiful expression, and finally 'hummed' a couple of sentences without saying anything.

Looking at the cooperating Liuhua, Guimu breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look at Qigong: "Sophia...... Shalan's words......"

Katsuragi didn't know what to say, he could feel the two pairs of burning eyes around him, and he knew in his heart that if he agreed to the seven palaces, maybe Shino would be nothing, but Naoba's words, it would be very sad, perhaps......

Katsura Mu took a deep breath, looked at Qigong and said slowly: "Shalan's words, let's look for it later! I still have an important matter to be busy with during this time, I'm sorry!

A touch of sadness flashed in Qinomiya's eyes, she didn't know if Katsuragi was really busy or just found a reason to perfunctory her, so she silently said "um" and didn't speak again.

Nanamiya suddenly missed the time when she was in SAO, and it was also in this room, there were only three of them, Yui and Katsuragi, although she was facing the dilemma of not being able to get out, but she should be happier at that time than now.

Of course, Katsuragi saw Nanamiya's expression, and a trace of guilt flashed in his heart, but his reason was not actually to deceive Nanamiya, and when he was researching the neural connection device he had envisioned in his heart, he accidentally discovered that a professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology was researching AR (augmented reality) technology.

He had decided that he would have time to refer to this technique, which might be able to help him, but now he just brought it up.

But even with such an argument, Katsuragi knew that he was just forcibly finding a reason, looking at the stunned Nanamiya, and just when he wanted to say something, he suddenly heard Kiritto exclaim: "Asuna!"

"Huh!?" Katsuragi couldn't help but look in the direction where Asuna was, and found that she was now in a state of forced disconnection, and then the character flashed and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
