- I still don't know why

Walking slowly up the stairs, Lord Death saw a white soul floating in the air for the first time. His expression was very dull, not at all the kind smile he used to have, and his hair was dyed gray. At first glance, it looked a little different from the previous one, but Lord Death still took out the notes and harvested this soul.

It's too much of an eyesore to keep floating here.

After doing his job, Lord Reaper had more than enough time to observe his surroundings.

He was glad to see Asuna standing in the back row of the line, looking intact - though players don't usually miss arms or anything. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he should have a more intuitive way to be a god of death.

Diabel is the only one floating in the air, so it means that this raider is just killing him, right?

Lord Death wasn't interested in counting the number of people, and even if one more soul didn't float out, it didn't seem to have much to do with him. He was more interested in the fact that he had heard the Tooth King seem to be shouting something just now, and the atmosphere at the scene had become a little stiff. The players' expressions are also quite sour, and it looks like the eyes of the fools who are concerned about the rest of their lives are mixed together. And the Grim Reaper-sama found very subtly that Kirito-kun seemed to be lying down again.

Congratulations, congratulations.

"Did you win?" Lord Death asked knowingly, looking down at his notes.

Because Lord Death didn't look at anyone, no one answered the question. However, being disturbed by Lord Death like this, the atmosphere that had been brewed by the Tooth King was all gone. The Tooth King found that every time he provoked someone, Lord Death would always jump out. This time he was smart, he didn't go up to provoke, and rolled back into the crowd to hide himself.

It's a wilderness, not an urban area. He wasn't sure that Lord Death wouldn't cut him down with a scythe on a whim. And this time, there was no Diabel to persuade him, and the tooth king classmate who suffered from "death phobia" didn't dare to come out and jump. He vaguely felt in his heart that even if everyone present was together, he was probably not the opponent of Lord Death.

Lord Death still buried his head. This time, it wasn't pretending, but Master Luna really sent a message: "By the way, I guess there will be a bet on you later, remember to fight for me to win." ”

"No problem." Lord Death answered without care.

By the way, he never lost a bet.

After finishing writing, Lord Reaper raised his head, swept around, and asked a little strangely, "What are you still standing here?" Keep going. Or is there a monster up there asking me to give you a ride? ”

The players came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they all said that they didn't need to push Kirito-kun away, it seems that the boss was killed by Kirito-kun. But Lord Death bets five cents, and there must be a reward for the final blow of killing the boss, otherwise this thing wouldn't do such a swaggering thing.

Kirito seems to be a loner, and he is a little unaccustomed to being surrounded by such a group of people all of a sudden, and he looks back at Lord Death in three steps and wants to say something.

Naturally, Lord Death knew that he wanted to thank him, and waved his hand at him.

Of course, this does not mean that you don't need to, but that you will pay it back the next time we meet.

Despite some trouble, Kirito got a good ending. The noisy army of players left, and the Grim Reaper, standing in the middle of the hall, could still hear their noise coming from afar, and there was always a joy in the laughter of the aftermath that the boulder that had weighed on the hearts of all the players was finally gone. Even though the first layer alone took them a month, things always get better, just like A always has a chance to become B. Of course, it is also possible that it will not change for a lifetime.

However, in the eyes of Lord Death, Asuna should also be close to 36D. Sadly, however, the Grim Reaper estimated that he would first have to be cured of his own illness if he wanted to measure it himself. He's been cowardly for a lifetime, and it's not bad for a while.

Asuna took it for granted, walked over to Lord Death, and patted Lord Death on the shoulder, "What are you doing?" ”

"No, I'm thinking about a very serious question." Lord Death is talking nonsense in all seriousness.

"Here we go again." Asuna gave Lady Death a blank look, "Anyway, I'm just thinking about something meaningless." ”

"Maybe." Lord Death didn't deny it, closed the note and put it away, "What's wrong?" Don't keep up with the big troops? ”

Only then did Lord Death realize that he didn't know when Asuna's hood had been taken off and draped behind her. The chestnut hair looks a little conspicuous. Lord Death subtly gave birth to an unpleasant feeling, as if his own treasure had been seen by others. It's just that Lord Death's facial paralysis skills are always full, and he doesn't show this kind of unhappiness on his face.

Asuna didn't say anything, just let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I survived." ”

She was smart enough not to ask Lord Death any questions, but just buried all the questions in her heart. Because she knew that even if she asked, she would never believe the answer. The answer can only be found by herself.

Lord Death told her to stay away from Diabel, and he died. This is definitely not a coincidence.

"Yes, congratulations. So let's hope you survive the rest of the day. Lord Death replied without sincerity.

Asuna looked at Lord Death, her eyes fluttering and asked, "Then will you always be with me?" ”

Lord Death scratched his head, suddenly remembered the connection, and said with some uncertainty, "It should be." ”

"That's good." Asuna smiled happily. She felt that it seemed that such a life was not difficult to accept.

That's when she realized that it seemed that "going back alive" wasn't what she wanted most. All she wanted was to "live", and she didn't want to "go back" at all, to that pointless machine factory, to continue working on her mechanical dolls. Maybe efficiency and obedience can bring her a lot of things to keep her walking straight, but that's too boring.

Asuna always felt that if she stayed with Lord Death, she would always find a lot of interesting things. When she was by Death's side, she laughed more than she had ever done combined.

When did she learn only social rhetoric and wear a mask to live? That's when she'll never smile at anyone again. But she can't escape for the rest of her life, this game, and the time that Lord Death gave her, is only two years at most. But before that deadline arrives, she should be able to rely on Lord Death.

"By the way, don't call me by my name in the future." Lord Death remembered this.

"Huh? Why? Asuna asked, dissatisfied.

"In my hometown, only wives can call their husbands by their first names. In addition, even if the name is known, it cannot be let others know casually, and if the name is known, it will be written on the rune paper and used as a sacrifice. Lord Death continued to run the train with his mouth full. Anyway, no one knows where his hometown is, and even if he is nonsense, there is no way to be exquisite.

"Really?" Asuna squinted slightly, looking at Lord Death with some distrust.

"Just call me Death." The Grim Reaper's face did not change and he walked up the second staircase, leaving Asuna behind.

Asuna puffed up her little face, but in the end she seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Then is there anyone else who knows your name?" ”

"No, it's just you except the person who gave me that name." Lord Death replied honestly.

"Yes." Asuna laughed, "That's fine." ”

"What's wrong?" Lord Death doesn't read much of a girl's mind. He had never learned such a thing, and no one would teach him.

"Nothing, Lord Death~"
