I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't heard a reply from the book review area.

However, I happened to have time on Friday, so I basically replied to the current book reviews.

……

"What's wrong?" Finding that Chu Yue didn't speak, Asuna stared at Chu Yue with some curiosity.

"With what I know about her......" Chu Yue said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid, she may really have been waiting for me to ......"

Asuna was stunned for a moment, and the hands holding Chu Yue's face slowly let go.

Is there really such a person? Asuna didn't believe it.

However, such words came out of Chu Yue's mouth......

"Because, if you want to share the inventory......" Chu Yue said, "our relationship is not just 'friends'. Rather than getting Asuna hurt after returning to reality, I think it's better to tell Asuna about these things now. ”

Asuna, who had originally lowered her head, suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue felt that Asuna's eyes suddenly became full of determination, and suddenly asked a little unnaturally, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

What am I hesitating about!

Asuna said to herself inwardly.

Wasn't it me who had actively launched such a fierce offensive against Chu Yue! Is it just because there is an ex-girlfriend who is only in reality that my heart is shaken?!

The days I spent with Chu Yue were all real! Moreover, the current game is our reality!

My heart, I like Chu Yue's heart, I don't lose to that girl at all!

"I'm not going to give up." Asuna's heart suddenly became firm, and her eyes were full of determination.

"Huh?" Chu Yue didn't react for a while.

"It's just an ex-girlfriend!" Asuna continued, "Now, here, here we live, in this world we live in, I'm Chu Yue's girlfriend!" ”

"Hmm......" Although Chu Yue immediately understood what Asuna meant, at the end of what Asuna said, Chu Yue didn't know how to respond.

Asuna also immediately realized that what she had just said seemed to be a little too much, and she blushed suddenly.

Especially the last sentence "I'm Chu Yue's girlfriend", it's really full of shame......

"For example, if it's really like what Chu Yue said......" Asuna blushed and lowered her head and said, "Then, then I will definitely not let go!" ”

"Poof, hahaha!" Chu Yue couldn't hold back for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

"Really, really! You, what are you laughing at! Asuna's face turned even redder, her hands clenched into fists, her arms straightened, and she said, "It's hard for people to muster up the courage to say it!" ”

"Hug, I'm sorry." Chu Yue stopped and smiled and said, "I just think it's really worthy of Asuna." ”

Asuna was equally stunned, and then couldn't help but smile.

"Well, things in reality, let's talk about them after we get back to reality." Asuna said, "Now, you're my boyfriend!" ”

"Hmm!" Chu Yue nodded, "So...... Let's ......."

Chu Yue slashed through the inventory and began to apply for a page of sharing the inventory with Asuna.

Looking at the system notification window in front of her, Asuna smiled, and then clicked the circle on the left.

Success!

A notification message pops up.

Chu Yue and Asuna moved their gaze from the system message to each other's faces, but Asuna immediately turned her head out of shyness.

"So, Asuna." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Let's go to the Beginning Town first." ”

"Hmm." Asuna looked to the other side and nodded.

The two walked out of the house together and began to follow the same path back to the town of the Beginning.

After walking a few steps, Asuna spoke first: "That, Chu Yue...... Do you think I'm taking advantage of others? ”

"Taking advantage of people's danger?" Chu Yue asked strangely, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because, that ......," Asuna said, "aren't we all in this game now?" These days, you can't talk to that all the time...... Contact her, but you can have a normal relationship with me, am I a little, taking advantage of people's danger? ”

It seems that Asuna's girl's heart is playing a role again.

"Hmm...... That's right. Chu Yue lowered her head and said thoughtfully, "Asuna, it's really bad!" ”

"Huh?!" Asuna suddenly lost her expression of self-reproach, "Chu Yue, you are not qualified to say such things!" ”

"Haha, yes." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Asuna, as long as I am still in this world, I am not qualified to say such things." ”

I don't know why, after listening to Chu Yue's words, Asuna's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Asuna lifted her hands behind her back, and her steps seemed to be brisker.

The two continued to sit side by side for a few steps, and suddenly, Asuna leaned on Chu Yue and hugged Chu Yue's arm.

However, neither Chu Yue nor Asuna said anything more.

Ayn Grant, Level 1, The Town of Beginnings.

After picking up the mail from the mailbox, Asuna immediately opened it and looked at it.

"How?" Chu Yue asked.

"Chu Yue, you guessed right." Asuna said, "It was sent by the regimental commander." Although the head of the regiment cooperated with us in the plan from the beginning, he did not expect that in the end, both of them died. The report I got from Goldrich was probably not detailed enough, so I was recalled. ”

"yes...... After all, Kraider is also a member of the Raiders group......" Chu Yue said.

The Raiders are very strong, and lives are precious. Since the battle of the boss in the raider group has been standardized, there have been no deaths in every battle, but I didn't expect that there would be deaths here now.

"Chu Yue, what do you think?" Asuna asked about Chu Yue again.

"Gotta go back." Chu Yue said, "Explain it clearly to the head of the regiment, otherwise there will definitely be more rumors." ”

"Hmm." Asuna nodded, "That's what I thought too. ”

"Well, without further ado, we'll go now." Chu Yue said.

"Okay."

Chu Yue and Asuna teleported directly from the portal in the town of Origin to the fifty-fifth floor of Gransam.

Gransam, inside the Blood Alliance's headquarters.

"That's the way it is." Asuna said, "Although it was all according to Chu Yue's plan at the beginning, the death of the smiling coffin members and Kladil in the back was not planned by Chu Yue, I hope that at this point, the head of the regiment can clarify for Chu Yue." ”

"I see." "It's similar to Goldfrie's report," Heatscliffe said. ”

"However, I still have a question." Heathcliff said, "Chu Yue. ”

"Hmm." Chu Yue responded.

"Since you and Godfurli are both faked deaths, then why, did Kladil become a yellow name?" Heathcliff said.

As soon as Heathcliff's words came out, Asuna suddenly realized: yes! At that time, Kraidier didn't kill anyone, why did he have a yellow name?

"Actually, it's nothing." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Since I made such a plan, of course I also thought of this." ”

"Oh?" Heathcliff looked at Chu Yue.

"A few days ago, when I was doing a task, I completed an achievement......," Chu Yue said, drawing open the prop column and showing one of his achievements.

"The name of the achievement is 'Absolute Kindness', and the effect is that as long as the player who attacks me maliciously, he will be punished with a yellow name."

"'Absolutely kind'......" Heathcliff said with a smile as if he had expected it, "I didn't expect you to accomplish such an achievement......

"yes." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Captain Heathcliff, I'm still a member of the Blood Alliance, if there is no problem, then I'll quit." ”

"Aren't you really considering joining our Blood Alliance?" Heathcliff asked.

"For the time being, there are no plans to join the guild." Chu Yue said.

"Okay then." "I'll explain it to the rest of the people." ”

"Captain! Remember to explain clearly, the deaths of those two were really accidental! Asuna emphasized.

"I understand." Heathcliff said.

Chu Yue looked at Heathcliff, nodded to Asuna again, then scratched the system, selected the guild, clicked to exit the guild, and clicked the circle in the pop-up system confirmation message box.

In this way, Chu Yue officially withdrew from the Blood Alliance Knights.

"Commander, there's one more thing." At this time, Asuna suddenly said again.

"Huh? What's up? ”

"I'm going to apply to leave the group temporarily." Asuna said.

"Why?"

"I'm suspicious of the way the Blood Pact behaves right now." Asuna said.

"How...... "Heathcliff said, "Deputy Head Asuna, in that case, shouldn't you, as the Deputy Head of the Corps, do something more?" ”

"However, the decision to equip each of the top echelons of the Blood Alliance, as well as the selection of the guards, is up to you, Captain Heathcliff." Asuna said-for-tat.

"......" Heatscliff was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. ”

"Asuna ......" Chu Yue looked at Asuna.

Although there is also this reason, Chu Yue also knows that Asuna also has her own personal reasons.

That is, since he and Chu Yue are now in a relationship, they must stabilize the relationship between the two.

"However, whether it is Chu Yue or Deputy Head Asuna, you will definitely return to the front line again." Heathcliff looked at Chu Yue and Asuna and said.

Neither Chu Yue nor Asuna answered this.

Coming out of the Blood Alliance's headquarters, it was already dark.

"It's getting late, where are we going next?" Chu Yue asked.

"Let's go home!" Asuna said.

"Huh? But you only have one bedroom. Chu Yue said.

"Stupid!" Asuna immediately said, "I mean, go back to the first floor!" ”

Ayn Grant, first floor, Forest Lodge.

"It turned out that they were going to stay in my house...... Chu Yue said, "it scared me." "I thought you were going to ...... with me

Of course, Chu Yue didn't say the words later.

"Don't, don't think too much!" Asuna immediately said, "After all, I have already applied to leave the group, and it is not easy to live in Gransam again......"

Asuna's family has lived there ever since she moved to the fifty-fifth floor of Gransam, a house equipped by the Blood Pact. There is only one bedroom there.

Now that Asuna has left the group temporarily, it seems that it is inconvenient to continue living there.

But Chu Yue knew that it was not inconvenient, it was just that Asuna wanted to take a few days off and get along with Chu Yue.

It happened that Chu Yue's house had two bedrooms, and Asuna of course went to the guest bedroom.

"Listen, no night attacks are allowed!" Asuna grabbed the doorknob and said to Chu Yue as if full of vigilance.

"Got it...... Am I like someone who can attack at night? Chu Yue said.

"Humph!" Asuna snorted and closed the door.

If there is a group of beauties, maybe Chu Yue still has a bit of a hooligan to play, but Asuna is only alone, and she is still an acquaintance, how embarrassing is this.

So in the past few days, Asuna has started to live with Chu Yue.

No longer close to the front line, no more fighting monsters to upgrade, no more fighting, life.

The first layer of Ayn Grant seemed to be peaceful. Especially in the town of Initiation, if you live here, you hardly know how many players are fighting on the upper floors above your head.

said that they lived together, but there was no work here, and Chu Yue and Asuna just played together every day.

Or rather, dating.

The vast majority of life on the first floor is life players, so if you're just enjoying life, this is a great place to be.

Picking wild fruits, making cream, completing some very small random quests for NPCs in the town, as well as hunting monsters, collecting all kinds of meat as ingredients, researching cooking, shopping, watching the shops opened by players, browsing various weapons, Chu Yue and Asuna's lives are happy every day.

For the first time, Asuna discovered that even if she was trapped in this game, she could have such a happy life.

It's a new day, and after getting up in the morning, Chu Yue and Asuna chatted, and decided to go to the forest on the twenty-second floor together to find the ingredients for tonight.

Because the number of layers on the twenty-second floor is not high, there is no danger to Chu Yue and Asuna at all. Importantly, there are some rare ingredients that often appear in the forest.

Some are left by monsters, such as honey, pine cones, etc., and some are monsters themselves, such as pheasants, hares, etc.

After coming to the forest on the twenty-second floor, Asuna smiled happily and said:

"Wow, there's a lake here."

Unlike the forest on the first floor where Chu Yue's house is located, which is full of trees that make it easy to get lost, there is a large lake in the middle of the forest here, and many life players are fishing on the periphery of the lake, which makes this place full of life.

"There are a lot of fish in this lake that can be hoisted." Chu Yue said, "Why don't we fish here too?" ”

"Hmm......" Asuna thought for a moment and said, "It's rare to come here, so let's take a walk?" ”

"Okay." Chu Yue nodded.

The two continued to hold hands and walked towards the forest.

However, after moving away from the lake, the forest became a little darker.

"Hmm...... I always feel like it's a bit ...... Weird. Asuna couldn't help but say.

"Maybe it's a little dark." Chu Yue said with a smile.

The trees here are very tall, and under the cover of leaves, the sun rarely shines on the ground.

"Speaking of which, it's easy to have ghost stories in places like this." Chu Yue said.

"Huh? Ghosts, ghost stories? Asuna looked a little unnatural.

"Oh? Could it be that our Deputy Head Asuna ......" Chu Yue said with a smile, "Afraid of ghosts, or something?" ”

"Just, no!" Asuna closed her eyes and said, "Only, it's just that the atmosphere here feels a little weird, so ......"

"Hey, hey." Chu Yue said with a smile, "I remember that in our China, there is a story called 'Wang Zhilang Ke'......"

Chu Yue's tone was yin and yang, and Asuna shuddered.

"yes, what the hell is it about?" Asuna asked.

"Not really...... Chu Yue continued to say in a strange tone, "Yes, in ancient times, there was a man named Wang Qian, who went to the mountains to collect firewood......

"Ahh Before Chu Yue finished speaking, Asuna was already screaming.

"I haven't said anything yet!" Chu Yue said.

"That, there!" Asuna pointed to the other side of the forest, "Ghosts, ghosts! ”

"Ghosts?" Chu Yue looked strangely in the direction pointed by Asuna, and there was a white shadow looming there.

"What's that?" Of course, Chu Yue was not afraid, and wanted to go over and find out, "Let's go and have a look?" ”

"Huh?! Really, really going to go? But at this time, Asuna was scared.

"Well, don't forget that Sword Art Online was developed by us, so I don't remember having this kind of setting...... So a little curious. Chu Yue said.

"Stupid, stupid!" Asuna cursed.

"If you're afraid...... Chu Yue stretched out her hand and said, "just grab my hand." ”

Looking at Chu Yue's hand, Asuna hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and grabbed it tightly.

Walking towards the place where the white shadow appeared, I realized that it seemed to be a person dressed in white. Because of the distance, when the person walks in the forest, his vision is often blocked by trees, so he will loom.

After getting a little closer, it became more certain.

Not only a person, but also a little girl in a plain white dress. And that black waist-length hair is still a bit similar to Chu Yue.

"That...... Could it be ......" Chu Yue suddenly thought of someone.

"Chu, Chu Yue, do you know?" Asuna asked.

"Let's hurry!" Chu Yue didn't explain, but suddenly picked up Asuna and ran towards the girl.

"Yikes!" Asuna was suddenly picked up by Chu Yue and screamed, but soon, she was hugged by Chu Yue to the girl's side, and she also saw the true face of this "ghost".

After Chu Yue put down Asuna, she walked in front of the girl.

However, at this moment, the girl fainted, and Chu Yue hurriedly supported the girl and did not let her fall to the ground.

"Chu Yue, this is ...... Who is it? Asuna asked.

She ...... It should be, Yui. Chu Yue's expression seemed to be a little excited.

"Yui?" Asuna said, "Yes, player? ”

"It's not." Chu Yue said, "Look, she doesn't have an arrow on her head. ”

On the player's first-person screen, individuals who are also players will have a green arrow on their heads to distinguish between the player and the NPC.

"That's it, NPCs?" Asuna asked.

"It's not an NPC either......," Chu Yue said, "If it's an NPC, I'm holding her directly like this now, and the harassment warning window will already pop up." ”

"Yes......" said Asuna, "then, who is she?" ”

"That's really ...... What a coincidence......" Chu Yue said as if talking to herself.

"Chu Yue?" Asuna felt that the relationship between Chu Yue and this little girl was probably not ordinary.

Although Chu Yue said that she was neither an NPC nor a player, looking at Chu Yue's expression, Asuna felt that this girl seemed to be a very important person to Chu Yue.

Since it's a human, it's definitely a player.

Asuna thinks so.

However, this child does not seem to be very old, how could such a young child enter SAO?

"It's hard, can it be said that it is ......!" Asuna suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh?" Chu Yue heard Asuna's voice, and then turned her head to look at Asuna, and found that Asuna was looking at her with a frightened expression.

"That ......" Chu Yue said with a sweat, smiling hard and saying, "Asuna, I always feel that you must have misunderstood something...... Can you speak your mind? ”

"Hmm......" Asuna looked at Chu Yue's somewhat reluctant smile and said, "No, that, I ......"

"Hurry up! Otherwise, this misunderstanding will be deep! Chu Yue suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

"Hmm...... Okay, okay......" said Asuna, "this child, isn't it, you and, that, you real, that girl, child?" ”

"Of course not, stupid!" Chu Yue complained loudly after Asuna's words, "No matter how young this child is, he will be ten years old!" I wasn't even ten years old ten years ago, hey! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Asuna suddenly understood that she had almost misunderstood Chu Yue deeply, and quickly explained: "Because, you looked quite excited just now......"

Can you not be excited! This is an artificial intelligence written by yourself, AI daughter, Yui! Dear daughter!

I can't get along with the Rose Maidens here, Chu Yue's love for her daughter can only be placed on Yui now.

"This, it may be a bit tricky to explain...... And...... There are a few things involved. Being by Asuna like this, Chu Yue's excitement was gone, and she said calmly, "Let's go home first." ”

"Hmm." Asuna knew that Chu Yue's identity was not ordinary, and it seemed that this girl had a great background.

The date to find ingredients was temporarily stopped, and Chu Yue took the yuki on her back and brought her home with Asuna.

After putting Yui on Chu Yue's bed, Asuna covered Yui with a quilt.

Although it was confirmed that this girl was not Chu Yue's child, Asuna still believed that this child was a player.

Because, if you are an NPC, it is impossible to be moved to other areas, not to mention passing through a portal from the twenty-second floor to the first floor, and there is no hint on the task list.

So, the question arises, why would such a young child be in such a forest where there are no people at all?

"Chu Yue......" Asuna asked Chu Yue, "Who is this kid?" ”

"How do you explain it......" Chu Yue scratched her head and said, "If, to put it bluntly, Asuna, you guessed correctly." ”

"Huh?"

"Yui is my daughter......"

"Eh?!!!!"
