-- If you are well, it will be a sunny day

What the heartless Reaper-sama didn't expect was that he thought he would be able to live a long time without incident, but this idea was quickly thrown into the trash by the Reaper-sama. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early morning, Argo still blocked the time for Lord Death to get up, so he naturally mixed in, and rubbed Lord Death with a breakfast.

Lord Death was not in a hurry to ask anything, and after eating breakfast under the calm gaze of the maid, he asked Argo, "Tell me, what are you doing this time?" Trouble again? ”

Argo shook his head unexpectedly, "I'm here for something else this time. I've brought a piece of information that I think you should be interested in. ”

"What?"

"They've found the boss room, and the strategy meeting will be held at noon. This is the second boss battle meeting, the commander has changed, and Asuna will also participate, are you interested in going and seeing? It's also good to be a flower messenger along the way. Argo quipped with a laugh.

Lord Death hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head: "Forget it, I'm still not going." ”

"Why?" Argo was a little surprised, "Wouldn't it be nice to go and see it?" And there's no way you'll never see each other for the rest of your life, right? The results should all be the same if you see it early and see it late. ”

"Time will heal everything, but it's not that time yet." Lord Death took a sip of the milk from his glass, not letting Argo see his expression. He always felt that his control of his emotions had been getting worse and worse lately, which was not a good sign.

"Do you want it to be smoothed?" Argo definitely didn't believe that this was the true words of Lord Death, probably just some of his own considerations. To be honest, she herself only knows a little about love, so she can't understand the feelings of Lord Death. However, she knew from Kirito that Asuna would definitely want to meet Lord Death.

"She's going to be the best player and lead everyone out of the game." Lord Death avoided talking about it.

"And then she has nothing?" Argo's face became serious, even a little serious, "She doesn't even know if she'll be able to see you after the game is over, is that really what you want?" ”

Lord Death finally couldn't help it, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take a look, so it's okay." Just go and see, don't even think about it if you want me to help. I said I wouldn't help anymore. ”

"It's okay, it's good to go and see it." Argo squinted and laughed like a mouse.

Absentmindedly harvesting all kinds of souls along the way, after slowly staying up until twelve o'clock on the first layer, the Grim Reaper slowly embarked on the journey. He believed that it must have been very late after he arrived, and it was estimated that the meeting would have already ended. If that would be great, then there would be no problem.

Walking all the way to the meeting place, Lord Death saw the Raiders he knew well on the street. Lord Death carefully averts everyone's gaze while gathering the necessary information. He confirmed that the meeting was indeed over, and that it was time to prepare for the boss battle, and that both rest and supplies would be completed during this time.

So there was no need for him to continue. However, in order to make a difference, Lord Death still walked slowly to the meeting place. In this way, even when Argo asks "why didn't you go", there is an excuse, so to speak, "I remember the wrong time". For he did go, but only too late.

The venue for the meeting was chosen in an interesting way, in a tall cedar tree. The entire cedar tree was hollowed out, leaving the middle open space for the players, which was naturally used as a meeting place. Of course, if you just want to see it as a sightseeing spot, it is also a good place. Because that fir tree is not small, God knows how long it will take to completely hollow it out. And in the game, it only takes a split second.

Walking inside the cedar tree, Lord Death immediately saw a small round platform in the center, on which was a map leading to the boss's room. However, before Lord Death could take a few more steps to look at the map, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Someone was watching him.

And this feeling only came after he came in, so the person who was looking at him should also be in this cedar tree, it is better to say that he was already here in the first place, but he just moved his eyes to him.

Lord Death slowly turned his head, and at a glance he met the line of sight, and he also saw the owner of the sight.

It was indeed her. Or rather, it's going to be her.

"Waiting a long time?" Lord Death wanted to be witty.

But Asuna didn't intend to give him this opportunity, and nodded quietly: "An hour." ”

Lord Death scratched his head in embarrassment, and suddenly remembered Argo's sly smile in the morning, and couldn't help but ask, "Did Argo tell you?" As soon as he said this, Lord Death felt that his IQ had really been brushed down, and no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be good.

"No, the conductor said you would come, so everyone waited for an extra half an hour. I couldn't wait any longer to break up, and then I waited another half hour. Asuna bowed her head slightly and said, "I'm sure you'll come, so I've been waiting." ”

Asuna didn't seem to care about this, which made Lord Death secretly relieved. But he really didn't know how to answer, so he could only stand there stunned, unable to say a word.

Asuna looked at Lord Death's stunned appearance, and for a while she was a little angry, and couldn't help but say, "Idiot, say something." ”

She's been sitting here waiting for him for an hour, and if she had gone on a date, she would have been sentenced to death. He also didn't say a word, how could he have a boyfriend like this. However, it doesn't seem that they are boyfriend and girlfriend between them. But Asuna was still a little angry.

This nerd deserves to be single.

"Excuse me?" Lord Death said tentatively.

Asuna wondered how she could have fallen in love with such a Grim Reaper. In the end, I could only say with some tears and laughter: "Why apologize?" Obviously you didn't do anything wrong. ”

Lord Death replied honestly, "I don't know." ”

"Nerd." She whispered.

Lord Death has good hearing, but he can only pretend that he can't. He always felt that his IQ was going to be negative in front of Asuna. Maybe it's not IQ, it's emotional intelligence. His emotional intelligence was inherently negative.

"Tell me something, doesn't that look like I'm stupid." Asuna looked at Lord Death feebly.

Lord Death thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "I don't know what to say, because I wasn't even ready to meet you. ”

"Nerd." Asuna grew accustomed to using this as a mantra.

"But...... As long as you're alive. I don't want to see your soul one day, and the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to open my notes and make sure your name is not on the list. "Lord Death is telling you the truth. He doesn't know how to talk and hasn't learned, so he doesn't know what to do with this situation.

Asuna believed it, she always thought that maybe Lord Death was the real Grim Reaper. So she laughed and scolded with a smile: "Idiot." ”

Lord Death was helpless. It seems that he will be scolded as a "nerd" for whatever he says. He didn't even know what to say. Carefully recalling the books he had read in his spare time in his previous life, he subconsciously thought of a sentence, and then subconsciously read it: "If you are well, it will be a sunny day." ”

This is perhaps the most romantic thing he has ever said in his life or in his previous life.

Asuna smiled softly, slowly walked up to Lord Death, and stood on tiptoe to kiss Lord Death's lips, much more active than Lord Death.

If it were herself, she thought, maybe she would really just fall in love with this kind of nerd wood. She hoped that she would be willful for a little while before continuing her journey. That's her only motivation.

It would be nice if that were the case, she didn't have to bet that she could touch the Grim Reaper-sama at any time, she didn't have to level up all the time, she didn't have to think about anything, she didn't have to walk forward all the time, and she didn't even have room to turn back. It's just that there are no ifs and yeses in the world, only naked reality in front of her.

The deepest pride in her heart made her choose to move forward rather than stand still. She never wanted to be left standing behind him, not by his side. She is such a person, so proud that it goes deep into the bone marrow, and no one can change it. If there were thorns in front of her, she would choose to cut through them instead of taking a detour, even if she would be covered in bruises.

Lord Death could only stare blankly, unable to do anything, and his mind fell into a blank.

After a long time, Asuna let go of the poor Grim Reaper, and smiled unusually charmingly, her slender fingers gently brushed over the Grim Reaper's face: "One day, I will always be here." ”

Lord Death was silent, and finally nodded silently. He couldn't say anything because he had no reason to stop her, and he couldn't. Everyone should have the right to choose their own path, and since they have chosen, they should go all the way and never look back.

"Then, please leave it to you when you go to the next floor, I will still wait for you for an hour." Asuna stepped on her toe that was a little sore, leaned against the Grim Reaper's chest, took a deep breath, and left without hesitation. Anything that happened to Lord Death seemed to transcend the limitations of data, and she felt the only reality of this illusory world. This is also her only truth.

Lord Death smiled bitterly, touched his face, and finally shook his head and left.

He discovered that although the will to survive is dazzling, there are things that shine brighter than it. Now that he had found it, his eyes were so pierced by the light that he couldn't open them, so he could only crawl and grope his way forward.

If that's the case, it's probably okay to be called a "nerd", right?

PS: Chopping season is coming, guess how many more times I have to chop my hands...... But in the recent exam, I can only make up enough 3000, so I only have one shift today. It's going to be a lot better after that. But as soon as the holiday is over, I'm going to rush again, so I hope it can still be better for me......
