Chapter 42: The End of the Holiday

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” three days laterβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Nishida only informed them of the date of fishing three days later in the morning. It seems that he went around to promote it to his fishing partners, and it is said that about 30 spectators will come that day.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Dry wool...... It's troublesome this time...... "Ye Chi has a toothache - although he can't feel this feeling in the game......

"Hmmm......"

Actually...... As mentioned earlier, Ye Chi is actually known to everyone about hiding here......

They are in a state of seclusion, and they are on their honeymoon, if known...... What should I do if I am found on the front line again...... What should I do if I'm approached by Asuna's brainless fan...... What should I do if I am approached by a gossip intelligence businessman......

I don't want to be seen as a coward, but the honeymoon that has only been going on for less than two weeks is really heartbreaking......

"How can it be repaired! I thought it was a silent catch...... How do you achieve the same virtue as the festival...... All agreed...... It's not good to refuse......"

"Agreed...... And Kirito and Lizzy are in this state as well......"

"Or ...... Let's cross-dress, shall we? ”

"I'm fine...... Anyway, I wasn't very recognizable except for my height......"

"Am I the only one who wants to be disguised?"

"I'm really sorry that my wife is a beautiful girl......"

"Look at it!"

Asuna tied her long maroon hair around her head and buried her face deep in a large turban. Then he changed the window into an oversized, thick jacket.

"Oh, oh. Yes, like a farm housewife who is busy with life. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you complimenting me?"

"Of course. I wouldn't be recognizable if I didn't have a weapon. ”

Absolutely...... After all, both of their weapons are too recognizable......

Not to mention Ye Chi's priceless straight-edged sword, not to mention the unique Hidden Blade, which is Asuna's flickering light...... That is a little more recognizable than the first two...... After all, the holder is a beautiful woman with a large number of SAOs......

Before noon, the two of them went out with a basket for lunch - she insisted that she didn't put the basket away, but she insisted that it was part of the cross-dressing.

Today's temperature is considered warm in this season. After walking for a while in the forest of huge conifers, they saw the shimmering water from between the trunks. There are already many people gathered there on the shores of the lake. After walking over with a little nervousness, the stocky man he knew raised his hand with a familiar laugh.

"Wow, ha, ha, it's amazing that it's sunny."

"Hello, Mr. Nishida."

Ye Chi and Asuna nodded at him. It is a group of all ages, and it is said that everyone is a member of the fishing guild hosted by Nishida. After greeting them nervously, he found that no one seemed to recognize Asuna.

As for Lizzy and Kirito, they have already arrived...... I'm shaking my arms like two SBs over there......

Having said that, this old gentleman is more effective than Ye Chi imagined, and he should be a good boss in the company. Before they arrived, a fishing tournament was held to build momentum, and the whole scene was quite lively.

"Hmm~ Then it's time to start our main event of the day!"

Nishida, who was holding a long fishing rod in one hand, made a loud announcement, and the crowd cheered. Ye Chi's eyes looked at the thick fishing line at random, and he was startled after seeing the thing hanging in front of himβ€”what the hell is a chicken!

It was a lizard. And it's a very large lizard. It's about the size of an adult's upper arm. The red and black protrusions on the body, which looked full of poison, glowed as if they were about to show their freshness.

"Woo ......!"

Asuna, who noticed the object a little later than Ye Chi, stiffened her face and took two or three steps back. If this is bait, what exactly is it going to be caught?

But before Ye Chi could speak, Nishida turned to the surface of the lake and raised the fishing rod above his head. Then, with a swing of the rod in a beautiful position, the huge lizard made an arc after a snort in the air, and soon a large splash of water on the water was a little farther away and fell into the lake.

Fishing in SAO has almost no waiting time. As long as the bait is thrown into the water, it can be known within tens of seconds whether the prey has successfully taken the bait or the bait has been eaten. A group of people swallowed and stared at the fishing line that sank into the water.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the tip of the rod vibrated two or three times. However, Nishida, who was holding the fishing rod, did not move.

"Come, come! Mr. Nishida!"

"It's too early!"

Nishida's originally kind eyes behind his glasses shone brightly, and he looked closely at the vibrating tip of the fishing rod.

As a result, the rod tip is pulled down at a greater angle.

"It's now!"

Nishida's short body leaned back and lifted the rod with all his strength. The tightness of the fishing line was clear even to onlookers, and the sound of "ping-pong" sounded in the air.

"Hooked! I'll leave it to you!"

"Oh?" Ye Chi carefully took the fishing rod - it felt like it was hooked on the reef, and he couldn't pull it at all

"?" Suddenly, a strong force came from his hand, and Ye Chi's whole person was dragged forward.

If the dock was not wooden, Ye Chi's feet should be two feet long by now......

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Ye Chi to win in this tug-of-war, thinking that no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to weigh like a whale, so he will inevitably be dragged into the water......

But it's in the water......

The resistance of the water is still difficult to compare with the strength of Ye Chi's fall......

Although Ye Chi is not biased towards strength, after the addition of equipment bonuses and attribute points, it is enough to look up to compared to a mere 21-story monster.

So Ye Chi took a steady foothold while closing the line - little by little, dragging the big guy outward.

It's almost time to see the heat...... Ye Chi exerted his strength and ran backwards as hard as he was dragging a big car.

Ye Chi is also a person who can fish, although the power of the way of nature is a big test for this fishing rod, but it can still hold on.

"Drink, ah, ah!" Ye Chi felt as if he had hit something, it was estimated that it was a wooden dock - he couldn't care so much, and he suddenly felt a light hand under all his strength......

Could it be that the line is broken?

Ye Chihu looked at the fishing rod suspiciously, although the line was a little loose, it was still extending upward............

Wait a minute...... Up?

Isn't that a little wrong?

Ye Chi's gaze followed the fishing line upward...... But I don't think so......

A huge shadow grew larger......

"I'm rubbing it!" Ye Chi dropped the fishing rod and rolled on the spot, dodging out of the range of that shadow.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang.

It was as if a grenade exploded in his ears.

The earth is shaking.

Ye Chi opened his eyes and looked......

All the people are running backwards...... It's not a run at a daily speed, but a run that really opens up the battle mode......

With speed modifiers, players with an agility of more than 20 can finish out Usain Bolt - even though he's almost retired...... (Still...... Time 2022)

An unpleasant, sticky, fishy smell wafted into his nose......

He turned his head blankly......

There was a fish standing there.

To elaborate, it's only somewhere between fish and reptiles, the kind that has evolved halfway through and looks like an elacanth, but closer to a reptile. It was dripping like a waterfall, and its six stout feet were on the grass on the shore and looked down on him......

the chickens are so ugly......

The pair of languages didn't seem to have any trouble focusing, and they were observing Ye Chi through the eyes of the side......

"it!" Ye Chi's first reaction when he saw this guy was to run...... After all, this guy is so ugly...... Scared the baby to death......

And that item obviously has an identification point, which is yellow on behalf of the monster.

This is the "monster" in Nishidaguchi...... It's just a monster in the practice area......

"What's this Nima?" Ye Chi ran to Asuna's side with a dog's expression......

"God knows...... Barramundi or giant salamander? Kirito replied in an unreliable tone......

"There's no time to talk about that! You have to run fast! ”

This time, Nishida screamed in a panic, looking like he was about to weaken his feet. Dozens of other spectators also froze because of the sudden situation, and many of them even sat down on the ground with blank expressions.

"Kirito, did you bring a weapon?"

Ye Chi stroked his wrist armor and squinted his eyes and asked.

"Nonsense, there are no monsters on this level, who has nothing to do with weapons......"

"No way...... Then I'll do it......"

"What a coincidence...... I'm also kind of excited about the activity...... "Asuna, who has always been quiet, is a little eager to try......

"I didn't have a primary weapon...... You go first, I follow. ”

In this case, there is nothing to be hypocritical about, not bringing the main weapon as the main attack is to add to the chaos, it is better to play the auxiliary with peace of mind......

In front of the audience, who had already retreated a long way, the two men stood upright, and Asuna began to open the inventory with familiar movements.

Beneath the coat was a grass-colored dress and a shirt made of raw linen, but the silver-plated scabbard of the sword on the left waist shone with a dazzling light. She drew her sword with her right hand and waited for the huge fish to be killed with a loud noise.

Xitian, who was next to me, grabbed Ye Chi's arm and shouted as if he had regained his ability to think:

"Levy! Your wife...... You are in danger! ”

"No problem...... Leave it to us......" Ye Chi showed a rare expression of lack of enthusiasm - weaker than ......

"What are you talking about! I'll have to ...... this."

He snatched the rod from his companion next to him, and then posed with a tragic expression and prepared to rush this way.

But it's too late......

The speed of the huge fish continued unabated, opening its large mouth lined with countless fangs, and leaping up as if it were about to devour Asuna in one gulp. Facing the bloody mouth, Asuna, who was half of her body on her side, dragged the silver light forward with her right hand.

With an explosion-like impact, a blinding flash erupted from the mouth of the giant fish. The whole fish was blown into the sky, but Asuna's position remained unchanged.

Then a rope with a strange color flashed and shot at the big fish with an anchor nail, and a black shadow counterattacked like an earth dragon ascending to the sky, and the dim red light flashed, and the two eyes of the big fish were marked with a judgment line, and then the figure kicked down.

Then the figure fell to the ground like a meteor, and with a little silver light in his left hand, it smashed into the big fish.

And then...... There was no more, and when that person came out of the pit, everyone found out that this person was Ye Chi, who was hidden just now......

Quiescence......

A moment of silence was followed by a torrential cryβ€”

"Isn't this Mr. Livingse!"

"Wow! Miss Asuna! ”

Etcetera......

Nishida, on the other hand, opened his mouth wide and remained motionless......

"I'll just say...... Nothing will happen to them......" Kirito patted him on the shoulder.

Just when Ye Chi was surrounded by a bunch of people, he suddenly noticed that there was a small envelope in the lower right corner of his vision.

The sender of the letter is ...... Heathcliff!

Ye Chi felt that his vacation might be in vain......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Well...... It's been a long time since you......

I really didn't expect it to be blocked......

Anyway, I've always heard of the cheating nature of the starting point, and now I have to taste it......

Dropped the collection of good stuff......

Sorrowful ......
