Chapter Seventy-Nine: Figure It Out
61st floor, night in Selmubrug. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Asuna's house on this floor, at this time, in addition to Tongzi, who often goes to Asuna's place to eat and drink, there is now one more person.
Looking at Argo, who had been dazed since just now, sitting at the table in a daze, Asuna felt a strange feeling.
At this time, Kiriko had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, and rubbed her slightly swollen belly with satisfaction: "I'm full, thank you for your hospitality!" ”
Then Kiriko was already ready to leave, and Asuna stood up: "Won't you rest here with me?" Asuna's expression seemed to say that you have long been accustomed to eating me and living with me, what are you doing today......
"No need, I still have something to do tonight, and ......" Kiriko looked at Argo who was absentmindedly pulling the meal, "I'm afraid you already have someone here!" Okay, I'll go first, you guys eat slowly! ”
"Reservations? Argo? Asuna always felt as if Kiriko already knew something, looked at Argo, and heard Kiriko's goodbye, "Oh! Then you go slowly, and we'll see you tomorrow! ”
"See you tomorrow!"
……
In the bedroom, on Asuna's bed, two girls are lying back to back. As Kiriko expected, Argo made a request to stay at Asuna's house for one night after eating.
"I don't mind if you live with me! However, aren't you going back to accompany Kirito? He's just experienced such a dangerous thing, why don't you, a girlfriend, go back to accompany him? ”
"I just didn't want to meet him to come to you......" Argo said weakly, and walked to Asuna's bedroom.
"Huh? What does that mean? Is something wrong? Asuna couldn't help but have some conjectures in her mind, but then something important suddenly occurred to her.
"You haven't taken a shower yet! Argo. Argo? Asuna was a little helpless not hearing the response from the bedroom, but her curiosity about why Argo behaved like this made her make an exception: "Well! Forget it today, it's okay not to take a shower once in a while! It's a game anyway......"
"Alright! Now it's time to tell me what's going on, right? Otherwise, how can I come up with an idea for you! Did Kirito do something sorry for you? Do you want me to teach him a lesson? ”
"Isn't it?" Not hearing Argo's reply, Asuna reacted, "Oh! He was in a coma for a day and didn't have time to do anything bad! ”
"That's ...... him"
Asuna was about to say her next guess when Argo, who had had her back to her, suddenly turned around, but the sparkle in her eyes startled Asuna.
"This ...... This...... Argo, did that guy really do something sorry for you? Or is it something he did before, and now you've found out? Tell me, Argo, I vouch for my role as the deputy head of the Knights of the Blood Alliance, and I will do justice to you! ”
"It's not...... It's Kirito him...... He ......" Argo shook his head and gradually withdrew the tears from his eyes, but his voice was a little choked.
"He, he, he! What the hell is wrong with him, Argo. I'm dying! Asuna was eager to know what Kirito had done to make Argo, who had always been cheerful and optimistic, like this.
"He proposed to me!"
Finally, Argo took a breath and said it in one breath.
"Finally ......" Asuna also breathed a sigh of relief, Argo finally spoke, and then she became very angry "What? He actually proposed to you! That's so ...... Too...... Huh? ”
Asuna's brain stopped thinking for a few seconds, and she asked Argo again in a very uncertain voice, "Sorry, did I mishear him just now, what do you say is wrong with him?" ”
"Him, Kirito! Just woke up this morning and proposed to me! Argo repeated, more carefully and clearly.
This time Asuna could be sure that she had heard correctly, and she felt a little lost in her heart, and then pressed her forehead against Argo's forehead.
"In that case, that's a good thing! So what are you doing with this expression? This is your punishment! Hum! ”
"But...... But ......"
Rubbing her forehead, which had turned a little red, Asuna heard Argo's hesitant voice, "But what?" Don't tell me you didn't agree! Then I can understand the reason why you are hiding from me, because you are afraid of embarrassment after rejecting Kirito? ”
"Not really!" Argo first denied the claim, and then became a little dazed: "But that's pretty much it......"
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't agree, I agreed, and ran away." Argo said what he did when he faced Li Tong's marriage proposal, and Asuna was puzzled for a while.
"Why? Don't you like him? ”
"You don't understand, it's not a matter of liking it or not, it's like Asuna. What do you do if you like him and he suddenly proposes to you? ”
"Who likes him anymore! I don't have one! Asuna, who heard Argo's question, hurriedly denied it, but she unconsciously remembered the scene where she threw herself into his arms on the 22nd floor before.
"I'm just assuming, Asuna, what are you nervous about?"
"That's right! What am I nervous about? Hahaha! Asuna let out a smirk before she began to think seriously about Argo's question.
"It should ...... Will say yes! Asuna hesitated for a long time, and finally went from uncertainty to certainty, and looked at Argo's gaze of why, Asuna said her reasons.
"Because it's a virtual world! If it were in the real world, maybe I wouldn't have said yes easily. It is precisely because this is a virtual world that everything here has nothing to do with reality. And if you really like it, that ...... What I'm saying is that if you really like each other, it's not impossible to get married. It's just a couple in the game anyway, that's what I thought. ”
"Really?" Asuna's words sent Argo deep into thought.
She remembered what Kirito had said about him and his two wives, but she didn't know how to respond to Li Tong's marriage proposal because of this. If she had to say it, she might be afraid! Unlike Asuna, Argo has long regarded it as the luckiest thing to meet him in this world, and all this will end when this world is successfully conquered, and her fate with him will also end.
As for the reality of himself, it is impossible, Argo instantly denied his own ideas. Hehe! What exactly are you expecting? Isn't living in the moment what you planned from the beginning? It is precisely because of this that he doesn't even object and intends to promote the relationship between the female friends around him and him, right?
"Thank you, Asuna!"
"Huh?"
"I figured it out!"
……
In the tavern on the 61st floor, Li Tong was drinking alone, when a person suddenly came to his side.
"Don't you go to her? Asuna's who had just seen Argo at her house seemed to have something on his mind. However, I just woke up, why did I drink, drink a drink! It turned out that Kiriko had left Asuna's house, and after she came to Li Tong's side, she also sat at the bar, ordered a drink, and handed it to Li Tong.
"No, I know she's there. In addition to those merchants, she can only go to Asuna's house. In addition, this is a game, alas, and not reality, there is no such thing as quitting alcohol when you are recovering from a serious illness! ”
"Is there a conflict?" Without a trace, she withdrew the drink in her hand and took a sip, Kiriko asked.
"It's not a contradiction! It's just that I didn't figure it out......"
After saying this, Li Tong drank all the wine in the cup. And Tongzi didn't speak, just silently accompanied Li Tong.
Am I too ego? Obviously there are already them, but they ......
