Ayn Grant.

25 floors.

The Land of Guilds.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the official opening of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, but since all the players were trapped in SAO, the first festival, the first event, not only the production players who participated in the planning paid more attention to it, but also many players also attached great importance to it.

It's really not easy to have a decent festival and a decent entertainment.

On the day of the official opening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the 25 floors, which are very large, have become crowded, and there are even some congestion.

It's really hard to imagine that you can see such a scene in SAO.

Makino was standing on the periphery of the main square in the center of the guild land, quite bored.

Although it may be a waste of time to know that girls go out, the time to really wait is really difficult.

"A cup of popcorn is 10 kol, 10 kl, only 10 kl!"

"Glow sticks, there are glow sticks for sale!"

"The love vest endorsed by Yuna-chan, if you like Yuna-chan, hurry up and buy it!"

"Lori Saigao, fans who support the dragon envoy Sirika, come and buy the figure of Sirika-chan!"

"Fortunately, Sister Sing's scolding recording crystal, don't miss it when you pass by!"

“......”

Hearing the endless cries of selling next to him, and the long queue of shops selling suspicious items that he didn't know, Makino couldn't turn a corner for a while.

He heard that right, right?

Stored the recording crystal of the lucky curse?

It sounds a little weird!

In this world, have some players already suffered from the SAO version of "nail disease"?

Of course, what makes Makino even more unbelievable is that fortunately, such a soft and amiable girl can also "scold".

It feels like a dream, it's ridiculous.

Of course, this also reflects the better mentality of the players.

Because, entertainment is worthless in the face of survival!

Only when you feel that your survival will not be threatened will you consider spiritual enjoyment beyond the needs of survival.

Looking at the crowd of people rubbing shoulders around him, Mu Ye couldn't help but feel a little sense of accomplishment in his heart.

It's great to see with your own eyes some of the good changes you've brought to the world!

Just when Mu Yuan was emotional, a familiar voice sounded.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late, I've kept you waiting!"

Makino turned around, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

I saw that there was an endless stream of people in front of him, and Asuna, who was wearing a yukata, was standing in front of the crowd.

is like standing out from the crowd, it is so dazzling, no matter how many people there are, they can't hide the slightest bit of her demeanor.

The moment he saw Asuna, Makino's eyes were firmly attracted as if they had magnets.

Asuna looked a little embarrassed, and it seemed that she should have squeezed through very hard just now.

However, this embarrassment didn't make Asuna look embarrassed or anything.

On the contrary, it added a touch of liveliness to Asuna's solemnity in the yukata.

There is quite a kind of fairy landing in the mortal dust, and the fairy spirit is still the same, but there is a little more intimacy.

Sensing Makino's burning gaze, Asuna was a little happy in her heart, but also slightly ashamed, and her pretty face couldn't help but show a hint of blush.

"Yukata ...... Is it good-looking? ”

Hearing Asuna's words, Makino couldn't help but breathe, and then said, "It's very suitable for you, very beautiful!" ”

"Thank you."

Hearing Makino's words, the smile on Asuna's face suddenly became even brighter.

"The party is about to start, let's get over it!"

"Okay."

The two walked side by side towards the preset stage of the party, side by side, and Makino even smelled the slightest fragrance from Asuna.

After all, SAO is a 3D model, and there is no such thing as body odor in the human body itself.

However, Makino actually smelled this smell on Asuna, and it must be the smell of perfume.

Makino didn't expect that in SAO, there would be a perfume born.

Really...... Awesome!

This fragrance is fresh and timeless, elegant and long-lasting, and it smells very comfortable, and it is really hard to imagine how Asuna made it.

"White plum fragrance...... Doesn't look vulgar, does it? ”

Asuna looked nervous, with cute and beautiful big eyes, just staring at Makino like this, looking extremely concerned about Makino's opinion.

It seems that if Makino doesn't like it, she'll be sad...... What a duaf look!

Where can Makino withstand this?

He immediately disarmed and surrendered, and competently became a gén.

"Perfect for you. How the hell did you do that? That's amazing, isn't it? ”

Seeing Makino's somewhat cramped appearance, Asuna was immediately happy.

Being able to see a guy like Makino who is calm to the point of pervert lose his temper is very rewarding for Asuna.

Especially Makino's admiring appearance made Asuna's heart even sweeter.

She said proudly, "What kind of values will the about a hundred spices in Aingrande produce on the taste regeneration engine...... After the analysis, you will know what kind of flavor will be generated. ”

"This fragrance must be a by-product of my research on seasonings!"

Bang Bang Bang!

Makino couldn't help but applaud.

What kind of spirit can make her analyze all the hundreds of spices in Ayn Grant!

Is this the legendary ...... The power of a foodie?

But.

Asuna, who is so happy and a little proud, is really ...... Super cute and super cute!

The sound of harmonious footsteps, accompanied by the wisps of white plum fragrance, made an indescribable ambiguity circulate between the two.

The venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival is in the heart of the guild place, and it is a square similar to a gladiatorial arena.

Although Makino and Asuna came relatively late, because of their status, they had already reserved the best position.

When Makino and Asuna arrived, everyone from the Wings of Freedom Guild, members of other guilds in the strategy group, and representatives of the Production Guild were all stunned.

Everyone looked at Asuna in a bit of a daze, and they were all distracted for a while, and they even forgot their words!

"Hey, hey, Asuna-sama, what's going on?"

"Asuna-sama and President Makino ......"

"No, how could Asuna-sama defect to the enemy?"

“......”

It's hard not for everyone to think nonsense, after all, Asuna is the deputy head of the Blood Alliance Knights.

And the year-long fierce competition has made the relationship between the two guilds of the Blood Alliance Knights and the Wings of Freedom not as harmonious as imagined.

Wings of Freedom is fine, after all, I saw Makino and Asuna arrive together yesterday.

They were even lucky enough to get to eat something made by Asuna-sama!

In addition, President Makino was able to capture the heart of Deputy Head Asuna, which is definitely a supreme honor for the Wings of Freedom!

But.

For the people of the Blood Alliance Knights, it is a little unacceptable.

You must know that many members of the Blood Alliance Knights actually decided to join because of Asuna's relationship.

Now, they couldn't be more sad to see their beloved Asuna-sama walking with Makino in a yukata with a smile on her face.

I don't know how many people in the Blood Alliance Knights are roaring in their hearts—did Lord Asuna hear it? That's the sound of heartbreak!

However, after all, this is the scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and even if everyone in the Blood Alliance Knights has any opinions in their hearts, they will not show it at this time.

Not causing trouble to other people is something that the Japanese have written into their bones.

Even in the virtual world of SAO, this tradition is very fully implemented.

Of course, this undoubtedly saves Makino a lot of things.

However, if the Blood Alliance Knights don't make trouble, it doesn't mean that the Wings of Freedom won't be busy.

When Makino and Asuna walked over, the Wings of Freedom caused quite a stir.

Yesterday, the crowd wasn't quite sure what they were thinking, but now they are sure.

Of course, the most confused one belongs to Kirito.

Looking at Asuna, who was wearing a beautiful yukata and smiling beside Makino, Kirito was a little dumbfounded.

When did this wood capture the heart of a beautiful woman like Asuna?

How could he not have seen the slightest sign before?

Stunned, lost!

However, at this moment, Josel, who loves to watch the excitement of the Freedom Wings Guild, came over directly.

Josel coaxed, "Lord Asuna, President Makino will hand it over to you in the future." If it's you, then it's fine. Don't look at President Makino who seems to be omnipotent, but in life, he is actually a Ma Daha, a salted fish...... Oops, who's kicking me? ”

Kicking the bastard Josel away, Makino explained with some embarrassment like Asuna, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I, Makino has never been a salted fish." ”

Poof!

Seeing Makino's appearance, Asuna suddenly laughed and trembled.

"You know, Makino-sama has never been a salted fish."

Asuna not only did not get angry because of Josel's trouble, but was in a good mood, and even stretched out her pink tongue mischievously.

For a while, Makino was a little distracted!

Such a beautiful and lovely Mr. Ya, who can stop it?

The great Albert Einstein taught us that time is relative.

When you get along with a beautiful and lovely beauty, time always slips away inadvertently.

Before you know it, it's completely dark.

Breaking through the noise and keeping everyone's attention on the stage was Yuna's magnetic voice.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

If you don't see anyone, you hear it first, but even if it is only such a voice, it has already made many Yuna fans emotional.

“Music Start!”

With Yuna's words, the stage that could only see the stars and lights was instantly lit up with dazzling stage lights.

The three staggered stage lights focused on Yuna, Silika, and Yuki from three different directions at the same time.

At this time, all three of them were wearing fancy dresses and looked unusually beautiful.

Accompanied by the touching melody, Yuna Sirika and the three of them danced along with the melody at the same time.

The melody is beautiful, and the choreography of the dance shows a super high standard.

Of course, the most shocking thing was the symphony orchestra that accompanied the dance and the lighting design on the stage.

It's really hard to imagine how the production players can create a stage effect similar to the real world in the world of SAO.

The three people on the stage, sparkling, each showed an indescribable charm.

Serious looks the most beautiful!

This point has been best interpreted by the three people on the stage.

Even the luck, who has always had the least sense of existence, has shown a very high level of literacy.

Especially later, with the passionate melody, a large number of colorful bubbles even appeared on the stage.

And on top of each bubble here, some figures have appeared.

Some of these figures are known to Makino, and some are not, but they have completely recorded the bits and pieces of SAO.

Akihiko Kayaba announces the true gameplay of SEO, players fall into despair, Diabel and others attack the kobold lord Ilfang together, players activate the transfer gate for the first time, Wings of Liberty and the Knights of the Blood Alliance are established, and Wings of Liberty advance under the command of Makino......

A bubble is a story, a memory, a past!

No one is more familiar with this than fellow SAO players!

It is precisely because players are familiar with it that it causes such a powerful resonance.

When I saw the players, step by step from the beginning of despair to today, every player on the scene was like reliving the experience of nearly two years.

Everyone's heart is like having undergone a baptism.

It's hard to describe moving!

It's obviously just the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the beginning is Wang Bang.

Many players were attracted and immersed in it.

I don't know when it started, the players on the scene began to wave the light sticks in their hands.

It seems that this is not a glow stick, but a sword in your hand.

They're not here to watch a play, they're fighting, fighting with Yuna Sirika and them.

When the climax came, the crowd shouted loudly!

It was just a few breaths, and just now the scene was quiet, and a deafening sound sounded.

This kind of unanimous applause, even after the opening song and dance, still lasts for a long time.

The aftermath of the applause alone lasted for nearly a minute, and you can imagine the players' love.

Unlike the first one, the second was much more "normal".

The second scene is a very "traditional" Mid-Autumn Festival song and dance, and the melody of the song is mainly a very traditional "waka", as for the light effect of the stage, the main elements are also the Mid-Autumn Festival moon, the moon see the dumplings, the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival food, and the various scenes of the family celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Such a show, in the real world, players don't know how much they have watched.

In the real world, they might not even be able to give a damn.

Because of this kind of thing, they have long been aesthetically fatigued.

But.

It was this kind of traditional program that could no longer be traditional, but it deeply touched the hearts of all the players present.

Although players don't want to think about it, there's no denying that they've been separated from their families for almost two years.

In the world of Ayn Grant, they may have achieved a relatively safe level, and they have experienced everything that reality can never experience.

But.

In another world, after all, there are family members waiting for us to go home and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us.

How can you be depressed, how can you stop there?

I have to say that this show is really arranged with great care.

Even Makino, a "tourist", was deeply affected.

As for those players who are "in the game", the feeling is even more profound.

Many players, for some time, have burst into tears.

Makino even heard a lot of players say "you have to level up hard and strive to join the strategy group", "you can't slack off, you must go home as soon as possible" and so on.

This traditional show is also outstanding!

As for the third program, it is the traditional old song "Don't admit defeat".

I have to say that this Mid-Autumn Festival is subject to the environment of Ayn Grant, and the program prepared is actually very monotonous.

The performers have always been so familiar faces.

However, this is destined to be the most impressive Mid-Autumn Festival for many players.

Midnight.

The party is officially over, and the other projects of the Mid-Autumn Festival have just begun.

For example, a campfire tea party.

It is said that it is a tea party, but in fact, it is more of a food feast for the players.

Especially when various alcoholic beverages are added, it once again pushes this bonfire tea party to a new climax.

However, at any time, as long as there are many people, this kind of tea party may slowly change its taste.

I don't know who took the lead, and a melody with a strong sense of rhythm sounded next to the campfire.

Slowly, this "tea party", which was originally a "tea party" where everyone drank tea and snacks together, became a "bonfire dance party".

What Makino didn't expect was that he and Asuna were also instigated by everyone to dance a dance.

Initially, Makino was extremely unconfident!

He was originally dance blind, but under Asuna's guidance, he slowly became proficient and enjoyed it a little.

Especially when he saw the dance steps of other people, which were almost a group of demons, Makino was even more confident.

A melodious dance music, as well as the lingering fragrance of white plum between the mouth and nose, made Makino begin to indulge in this unforgettable night.

I don't know how long it took for everyone's enthusiasm to slowly dissipate.

However, this was followed by a burst of fireworks that rose into the sky and then burst into the night sky.

The fireworks are undoubtedly short-lived.

But it was this short period of time that brought everyone an unimaginable shock.

In the real world, fireworks are definitely not something to be seen.

But in the world of SAO, which is set in the Middle Ages, it seems like an unprecedented ...... Marvel!

With the sound of the sky rising and the splendor of the instant splashing, everyone's heart is like a feeling of instant blooming.

No matter how well they are in SAO, at least at this moment, everyone's mood is bright.

I don't know how long it took for this fireworks banquet to dissipate, but everyone was still immersed in the rest of the rhyme, and they couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

When Makino returned to his senses, he unexpectedly felt a warm soft feeling in his palm.

When he sensed that it was Asuna's little hand, Makino couldn't help but be stunned.

Asuna's Little Hands...... When did he pull it? (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
