May 2023

Half a year after the launch of SAO, there are more than 2,500 player character names drawn on the huge stone monument in the Black Iron Palace in the starting town, the "Monument of Life". The Raiders team successfully conquered the 80th floor.

Since Dark Ye and Shixiang broke through the seventieth layer, I don't know why there has been no new attack news for two weeks, the strategy team is happy and sad, happy that the weird guy finally has no new boss, and sad is that a new strategy meeting is going to be held again, that is their nightmare.

Fortunately, there was no news of the boss being attacked in the middle of this strategy meeting. In the next few months, the Raiders team successfully broke through the 10th floor, and their reputation in the player circle gradually improved. And the dawn has become a legend.

"Dark Ye..." A female voice full of complex emotions came into Dark Ye's ears.

When Dark Ye turned around, he could see the small goose egg face and the large hazel pupils that emitted a dazzling light under the chestnut-colored long straight hair in the middle of the other party. Under the small and straight bridge of the nose, the cherry blossom-colored lips add another touch of grace to her beauty. The slender body is wrapped in a knightly combat suit based on white and red, and the white leather sword belt is hung with an elegant silver sword. She is a well-known person in SAO, the vice president of the "Blood Alliance Knights" - Asuna.

Dark Ye looked at the girl he had missed for a few months in surprise, and his voice trembled lightly, "Asuna..."

"Dark Ye! Is it really you? Asuna covered her mouth and looked at Dark Ye with an unbelievable expression, and then the two ran to each other at the same time and hugged each other.

I don't have time to enjoy the soft touch of the girl, and now I just want to hold her quietly, and there is nothing like this to express my emotions.

The two were reluctant to part for a long time, and Asuna's face was blushing, and she couldn't contact the strongest female player with the alias of "Flash" at all.

Looking at Asuna, who is now majestic and no longer has the timid and scared naïve girl she was at the beginning, Dark Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Asuna, you really have made some achievements, you are famous for your super fine sword skills and incomparable beauty in SAO, you have won the title of glitter, and you have also become the deputy head of the strongest trade union "Blood Alliance Knights", congratulations"

Asuna didn't pay attention to Dark Ye's praise, and said with a serious expression: "Not all meteors will burn up in the atmosphere, some meteors can withstand the burning fire and descend on the earth, right?" ”

"Yes, but now is not the time to sigh about this, I have an S-grade ingredient, can you make it?"

Dark Ye remembers that she told Asuna about coming up with the food she cooked, I wonder if she remembers?

"What? S… S-class? ”

Darkye beckoned to Asuna, then changed the item window to a visible mode that could be seen by others. Asuna, who was looking over with a puzzled expression, widened her eyes when she saw the name of the item on display.

"Chowder Bunny!"

Looking at Asuna's extremely surprised expression, Dark Ye nodded with a sense of accomplishment.

"For the sake of the ingredients, let's make an exception and provide my room as a place to cook."

Hey, is it really okay for you to invite a boy home with a serious face?

There was a very impatient voice: "Ya... Asuna-sama, how can you invite a civilian to come home with you? ”

Ignoring the guard's words, he turned his head and scolded: "When you can take care of my business, I will be transferred directly from here to "Selmubrook" today, so you don't have to protect me." ”

Dark Ye walked up to the guard, and the guard's eyebrows were a little colder: "You, a civilian, still want to hook up with Lord Asuna, I won't let you succeed." Listening to his tone, which seemed to have been patient for a long time, if SAO's expression reproduction function was a little more refined, his anger should have caused two or three more green veins to appear on his forehead.

Is this the one in the original book? He still wanted to kill Kirito secretly, but now he wants to kill me. Then have fun with him.

With a playful smile, he mocked: "You TM a garbage guard, you dare to talk to me like this, what's wrong with your Asuna-sama's house, didn't you see Asuna hugging me as soon as she saw me just now?" ”

Asuna blushed slightly, but didn't refute anything.

The guard glared at Dark Ye and snorted, and walked away.

Turning back to Asuna, he showed a flattering expression: "Asuna-sama, then let's go home and cook the dishes~"

Asuna said with a disgusted face: "Go aside, don't disgust me." ”

"Hey, Asuna, let's go."

The two walked to the transfer gate square, and Dark Ye glanced back and found that the guard was in the dark, staring at him with a hideous expression on his face. At the same time, he was planning in his heart how to kill this man, and the devil knew what he would do later.

Level 61 - "Selmubrook"

Selmubrook is a castle city. It's not a big one in SAO, it's all made of white granite, and the city with ornate minarets at the center of the street contrasts beautifully with most of the green spaces dotted around, and the market has a wide variety of shops. Therefore, many players want to use this as a base, but the price of the room is too expensive - it is about three times more than the "Argart", so it is almost impossible to have a room here unless you are a player with a high level.

After Asuna came to this floor, she wanted to see Dark Ye's surprised expression, He Nai's face was normal, and there was no wave in his heart, as if everything was expected, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Looking at this beautiful city, Dark Ye sighed with emotion: "The land here is wide and there are few people, so it's a good place." ”

The girl glanced at her mouth, "Then you move in." ”

Dark Ye shook his shoulders helplessly, "You know I won't come, although I like this kind of life very much." ”

"Why?"

"I like it, but it's not reality here."

"yes." Asuna looked at the lake and said, "The sun is about to set, let's go back first." ”

"Where's your home?"

"After turning east from the main road, you can immediately reach the third floor of a beautiful little apartment."

"It's a nice environment."

"It's alright."

Arriving at the door of an apartment, Asuna stopped and took out the key.

Dark Ye asked, "Can I really go to your house?" ”

Asuna moved her face that seemed to be dyed red by the setting sun to the side, and muttered, "Aren't you happy that I'm inviting someone to my house?" ”

Of course I do! It would be nice if there was some kind of story.

"Ahem, it's an honor." Dark Ye scratched his hair embarrassedly.
