"Really?"

"Hmm."

He Yuan tapped the table with his index finger, but he didn't know what to say.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

"Huh? That's, Kirito? ”

Suddenly, He Yuan saw Kirito's figure appear outside the window, hurried, as if looking for something.

"What the hell is he looking for?"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this time period seems to be due to the fact that Xing, as a shield swordsman, chose to run away because of too much pressure.

"Luckily ......"

Thinking of that quiet, timid, gentle, and somewhat cowardly luck, all of a sudden, He Yuan remembered himself when he met Asuna.

At that time, I longed for Asuna and wanted to fight side by side with Asuna.

Fortunately, too, I look forward to Kirito, and I must want to be side by side with Kirito in my heart, right?

It's just that because I'm a boy and I'm older, I survived.

Fortunately, she was just a little girl, and she was timid herself, and it was okay when she started using the spear as a spear maker, and there were no problems.

But when she was pushed out by her friends as a shield sword to resist monsters, she was cowardly by nature and made frequent mistakes, and in the end, she could only put her safety on Kirito's body.

"Asuna, let's go."

Standing up, He Yuan said to Asuna.

I don't know why, but he suddenly wants Asuna to meet Yuki.

Perhaps, I should do something about it!

"Hmm."

With Asuna, He Yuan opened the minimap, if his memory was not wrong, it seemed that he was fortunately hiding under a bridge.

And, looking up at the sky, wait, it seems to be raining.

"Let's go, Asuna."

Under Asuna's strange eyes, He Yuan bought an umbrella from the prop shop, and then walked towards the only bridge in the town.

……

"Boom!!"

"Tick...... Tick ......"

With a deafening roar, the whole of Al Ayn Grant began to rain heavily since the beginning of summer.

"Huh? He Yuan is really powerful, he actually knows that it is going to rain. ”

Asuna was surprised, next to He Yuan.

After all, this rain is not ordinarily heavy, and if you don't get closer, He Yuan will get wet.

"It's common sense, right? Although Sword Art Online is just a game, it is simulated along with the changes of the seasons, and it will be rainy in the summer, so it will be a disadvantage if you don't bring an umbrella in the wild. ”

"Hey, Hey, He Yuan is the best."

After complimenting He Yuan, Asuna turned her head and looked around: "Then He Yuan, where are we going to go now?" ”

"Well, I just saw Kirito and he seems to be looking for something, so I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help."

"Kirito? That 'black sword'. ”

For Kirito, Asuna still has a good impression, after all, the three of them used to form a team in the first layer, and when those people said that He Yuan was a "cheater", Kirito was also on He Yuan's side.

Moreover, when she participated in the strategy boss, Kirito's performance was also outstanding, and her strength was not below her.

"Hmm."

Nodding, He Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "I originally wanted to send him an email to ask, but when I opened the friend bar, I found that in the past six months, there was only Asuna's name among my login friends, so I could only find it slowly." ”

"Huh? It's true? ”

"What really?"

"That's it, it's He Yuan, I'm the only one who logs in to my friend."

"No." He Yuan opened the friend bar, set it to a visible state, pointed to the lonely Asuna above, and said to Asuna: "Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" ”

"Uh-huh." Pretending to pat He Yuan's shoulder, Asuna squinted and said, "Not bad, He Yuan, remember to keep it up." ”

"Keep?" He Yuan was speechless: "Hey Asuna, are you damning me for having no friends all the time?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey."

"Hey, I see, there."

In the heavy rain, a figure ran from the river bank to the bridge, and saw the girl curled up under the bridge with her head in her arms.

"Let's get over it......"

……

"Now, Kirito, I don't want to go outside the town at all......"

"Isn't it okay for everyone to be in town?"

"I'm scared of ...... monsters"

"I don't want to die ......"

Intermittently, the sound from under the bridge made He Yuan and Asuna stop and stand quietly on the bridge.

Vaguely, the sound under the bridge seemed to coincide with the events that had happened at a certain moment.

"I'm not going to let you die." (Kirito)

"You will live until I die." (Asuna)

Fortunately, we are really lucky to meet the right person in the most desperate time.

"He Yuan."

As if feeling He Yuan's thoughts, Asuna's hand covered He Yuan's hand holding the umbrella.

"You will live until I die."

"Hmm. Asuna, I'm lucky to have met you. He Yuan's heart was warm, and he covered his right hand on Asuna's hand.

"Me too."

"So, don't you catch up?" Watching Kirito and Yuki run away in the rain, Asuna asked.

After all, they came out to find Kirito.

"There's no need, I was going to see if there's anything I can do to help, but apparently he solved it himself."

"And, tonight, it's their ......"

"Yes." Asuna nodded, and suddenly, Asuna's face changed, and her hand was withdrawn from He Yuan's palm.

"Oh, that's bad."

"What's wrong?"

"Strategy meeting, I actually forgot, I'll go first, remember to email me, otherwise, hum ......"

Making a fierce expression at He Yuan, Asuna took out a teleportation crystal.

"Transfer: Panareze"

Seeing Asuna's blue ball of light teleport away, He Yuan put down his arm that made a "goodbye" gesture and restrained his smile.

"Is this time now?"

It seems that Kiritto still hasn't been able to tell Keita about his true identity, otherwise, Yuki wouldn't have run away.

Because,Fortunately, when I was in the same room as Kirito tonight,I found out Kirito's true level.,Will always be at ease as the team's shield sword envoy.,Out of the town to fight.。

Because Kirito is very strong, and because Kirito said that he would not let her die.

So, even if she has been very uneasy in her heart, she believes in Kirito.

Presumably, Kirito's Christmas gift was also recorded by Kirito's luck when he went out of the city to fight tonight, right?

"Seeking the Enemy"

In an instant, He Yuan's perspective changed wonderfully, and the other houses, grass, and flowing water all turned gray, and only the footprints of Kiritto and Yuki emitted a blue light......

"Kirito, this time the incident is over, and we really don't owe each other......"

"If you still defeat Akihiko Aoba on the seventy-fifth floor, I will never show mercy......
