On the XX day of the X, half past seven in the morning

"So this time, the three of us are going to take the lead~" Asuna said with a smile as she walked

"It's a waste to have two main forces explore the seventy-fourth floor," Chong said, standing a meter away from the two of them

"It's three, don't be so modest" Asuna chuckled "yes, our accountant~"

"I'm just a bookkeeper"

"Why go to the backstreets?" She tilted her head and asked, "Aren't you going straight out?"

"I want to find someone first"

"No, it's a waste of time"

"Hehe~ Don't worry about so much, I can finally get rid of the two guards around me" hugged her, her weight seemed to be frighteningly light, even Asuna could pick her up with one hand without relying on the strength bonus

(Did you really get rid of it) glanced at the back, and the thin man with his long hair tied behind him was following behind inch by inch, if he hadn't been wearing the same style of Blood Alliance Knights uniform as Asuna, he would have been arrested by the onlookers

"Arrived," ignoring her waving and struggling, Asuna stopped around the corner of a small-looking shop where two people were talking about business, a strong, brown-skinned man with a bald head, and a swordsman all black

He frowned slightly, but was not overly disgusted

"Kirito" Asuna quickly stepped forward and tapped the other person's shoulder with her right hand, and by the way, she was still hanging on Asuna's arm and wanted to come down

"Caught the chef" immediately grabbed Asuna's finger with her backhand, and then she jumped down and stepped on her toe

"W-what?" Asuna asked, looking at Kirito who was grinning in pain

“？” How do you feel that your back is gloomy

“！” As soon as he turned around, he was almost so frightened that he screamed, and Mr. "Guard", who had been following behind, was rolling his eyes at this time, which was not much different from the hanged man

"Ah...... Hello" seemed to have discovered himself, Kirito said hello after hesitating for a moment, the relationship between the two of them was not so stiff, and they had worked together when they were still on the sixty-fifth floor

"Hmm" struggled to look away from the ghost behind him, and if he looked any further, he might not be able to resist hitting his temple

"By the way, you just asked me what the proficiency of cooking skills is?" Looks like they just talked about something

"You haven't answered me yet," Kirito said

"Hmph~ I've fully learned it," Asuna said proudly

"There's something I want to ask you, a master," Kirito definitely wanted to ask Asuna if she was stupid, indeed, it was too stupid to spend most of her time on skills that had nothing to do with combat

What the? Why do I learn it completely, you ask? You can try how fast your skill points will increase after cooking dozens of meals a day

"This is an S-grade ingredient?" Asuna covered her mouth in surprise, "There's a set, Kirito"

"I'll make a deal with you, if you cook this thing for me, I'll let you eat it"

"I. Want. One. Half" Asuna grabbed Kirito's chest tightly with her right hand, and then pulled it to a few dozen centimeters away from her face

"I always feel that the chill behind me is getting more and more, so can you not stand behind others and roll your eyes, bastard!"

"Okay, okay" Kirito subconsciously agreed, tsk

"Wait, I remember you said you had fully acquired your cooking skills," Kirito suddenly turned to look at him

"Don't think about it, I'm not so kind" Don't dream, if you do it yourself, you won't be able to eat a bite, because there is a bottomless pit around you, and it's not impossible to knock you unconscious and snatch the food when the time comes

"I made a mistake, I should have asked you first" Kirito said with her face covered, so where did you come to the conclusion that I would cook for you?

"By the way, Achill, I'm sorry, the deal was canceled halfway through," Kirito said as he turned back to the strong man as he turned the main screen off

"That's fine, but we're good friends, right? Then give me a taste too."

"I'll write you an eight-hundred-word impression" Huh? What are the standards for high school students' essays?

"Don't do this" As a result, Kiritto really wrote a feeling after eating to him, so all the products in this store doubled the price

"It's okay for me to cook, but where to choose?" Asuna asked, grabbing the corner of Kirito's coat, who was about to leave

"Uh" doesn't seem to have thought about this issue at all

"Alas~ I don't see any good props in your room, so for the sake of the ingredients, I'll take you to my room without exception" Asuna cast an impatient look at Kirito

"The two light bulbs in the back plus a hanged ghost who is about to spontaneously combust to death indicate that there is a lot of pressure, which is already a blatant appointment ==

"By the way, do you want to join us? Are you still there? Asuna only noticed the man now, as his eyes seemed to be about to turn color

"I've always been here, Asuna-sama."

"It's so hard, please go back and rest, I'll go directly to Sermubrook later" Asuna grabbed the corner of her clothes and walked out after finishing speaking, "You two should go together, remember to prepare some ingredients by the way, a little rabbit meat is not enough for four people"

"A-Asuna-sama! Please wait" Before she could finish speaking, she punched me over

"Noisy" seemed to be impatient with his irritability, and she looked at the other party with very cold eyes, "Don't disturb myself"

"When he gets up, I'll tell him to walk back by himself," Chong didn't even look at the man, "Also, tell him that he won't need to be a guard in the future"

"Leave it to me," Achill said, giving him a thumbs up

"Let's go, then," Asuna didn't care about anything more, "the target is my house on the sixty-first floor!" ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line for cooking

The 61st floor is a very beautiful residential area, covered on all sides by the sea, and Selmubrook is a small island in the center of the lake, surrounded by bridges, which is not only wide but also less crowded, so many frontline players use this as their main base

"Whew~ The openness here is awesome," Kirito said with emotion as he stretched out his hands

"Then you live here, anyway, you should have enough money to travel alone," Asuna said, walking at the front of the group

"It's not enough at all, most of my wealth is spent on updating weapons and buying medicine," Kirito shrugged his shoulders and changed to a serious expression after answering, "Speaking of which, is it okay to do that just now?" ”

"Hmm" Asuna knew exactly what Kiritto was talking about, so she quickly turned her head to face back, her high-heeled boots tapping the ground with a "click" sound

"It's true that I've encountered some unfriendly things when I've been alone before, but it's still too wasteful to equip me with guards, and I've also reported that I don't need to, but the other members of the group have forced me to accept it," Asuna said in a lonely tone, "In the past, we were just the head of the group or I went to invite one by one, and then then established a small group, but before I knew it, we had become the most famous guild, and the members and levels were constantly changing, and in the end, I found that things around me had changed a long time ago."

"For example, the three of us used to have to go out of almost all tasks," Asuna pointed to her and herself, "but now even the boss room won't necessarily let us go, because it's the main force, and those staff players are worried about whether something will happen to us."

"What else do I want to be an accountant" I didn't want to talk about this, but there is really no reason, and it doesn't have to be like this if I finally find someone who knows how to multiply ninety-nine! The devil knows why there is less money in the accounts every day! This pot should be carried by the head of the regiment!

"When you answer like this, the atmosphere seems to be even more dull," indicating that she doesn't know anything when she is raised every day

"yes, let's get out of the way, or it's going to get late," Asuna said, pulling herself together

"But is it really possible," Kirito asked hesitantly, and before he knew it, they had walked under Asuna's apartment

"What are you talking about until now," Asuna said dissatisfied, "go upstairs"

"That's rude" Kirito walked up the stairs slowly, and then subconsciously wanted to beckon the two people behind him to come over with him to raise his courage, but found that no one behind him existed

"Asuna! Two of your friends have escaped! ”

"Huh? What stupid things to say? As soon as Asuna turned around, the girl next to her was grabbing Chong's hand and pulling it into the door, "She has food, so she rushes super fast."

"Eh" is worthy of the Blood Knights?

Inside the door

"Wow" as soon as I entered the door, I couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of the interior decoration, not to mention how much this room costs, just these rows of bright furniture are enough to spend all of Kirito's belongings

"The room is only about 4,000 K, you wait here, I'll go change my clothes first," Asuna finished and walked into the bedroom

"I still have to change my clothes, I'm really positive" Kirito, who was bored and looked around the room, was speechless in surprise by the scene in front of him

"What for! What do you want to do! ”

"Change your clothes"

"Just click on the main interface! By the way, how did you take off your clothes yourself?! ”

“？”

"Put it on!" Well, I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything

"I've changed my clothes, let's start cooking now" Asuna walked out of the bedroom, a set of red and white leather armor that had been transformed into a simple white blouse and a long silk skirt that didn't reach the knee

"Oh," Kirito hurriedly passed the ingredients to Asuna

"So just make it into a stew, right? Anyway, the ingredients are also chowder rabbits," Asuna happily entered the kitchen, "Wait a minute"

"I'll borrow the kitchen too," Chongya followed, and the two of them seemed to have a good relationship

There was silence, and the cute little girl she had never seen before sat quietly on the sofa motionless, what to do, the atmosphere seemed to be very strange

"That"

"I don't talk until I serve my own meal"

"Oh" is too different from the lively appearance just now

Fifteen minutes later

"It's a lot easier to cook in the game," Asuna complained as she brought out a pot of chowder

"Huh? Did I bring that many ingredients? Kirito was surprised

"Some of them are his," he pointed to Chong, who was still in the kitchen, "The others are also high-level chefs, and there are several S-grade ingredients on them."

"S-class?" Kirito suddenly felt that something around him was about to erupt

"Ah, I'm sorry," Asuna smiled wryly, "as if she said something that shouldn't have been said"

"Whew!"

"Ahh......h

That's weird! The other party seems to be "sneering" with blood on his hands! This endurance is terrible!

"It's all routine," Asuna chuckled as she looked at her to be fed spoonful, "It's funny."

"I don't see it interesting," he reached out and scooped a spoonful of the chowder, and the extremely soft touch in his mouth instantly captured Kirito's heart

"Ah~It tastes so good~" Asuna seems to like it too

"Whew~" This inhuman emotion is actually very cute, but the wound on the other party's hand makes him a little scared

The babysitter who was feeding her didn't eat a bite

"Would you like something to eat?" Kirito asked hesitantly

"Wait" replied indifferently

"So open your mouth so much!" Immediately he was punched hard, and sure enough, men can't make this action!

Twenty minutes later

After a full meal (Chong only drank some tea) entered the sage time, Chong and she retired first because they thought it was too late, leaving only Asuna and Kirito in the room to discuss life, so what will happen tomorrow has nothing to do with them

“？” After going down the stairs, I suddenly found that there seemed to be someone in the corner, but I didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, this is a safe area, at most it is a private duel or something

"Whew" The person next to him suddenly bit himself again

"What for?" Although this voice is cute, it should hurt, and no one can stand it if it bites someone else

"Make a good mark," he said, letting go of the small mouth, and the tooth marks that matched the small mouth were clearly visible on his arm

"Whatever" will disappear in a short time anyway

"I'd like to eat something more"

"I also saved some ingredients, I'll go back and make it"

"No, wait three days"

"Why wait?"

"Because I want you to feed it to me with your own hands"

"I won't feed it anymore"

"Yes, because the food will be brought to me by you"

"Food full of love (jealousy) and good (madness)"
