All of this left Asuna scratching her head.

On the one hand, it is He Yuan's anger at his deception, and on the other hand, it is He Yuan's meticulous care all the time, as well as the inadvertent gentle touch.

Until they came across the brownish-red door.

At that time, Asuna didn't know what was behind that door.

However, she also discovered He Yuan's anomaly.

Trembling, fear.

Just like when they first met, He Yuan fought Bumblebee.

"This should be the boss's room, right?"

"Killing this boss, the first layer of Ayn Grant, even if the strategy is completed."

"Do you want to go in? Asuna. ”

Isn't that a fool?

The hands of the clenched fists are shaking, right?

The voice of the speaker is trembling, right?

Obviously, he is so afraid, but he tries his best to hide it, as if, as long as he says "um", even if he knows that he will die if he goes in, he will not back down, right?

Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Oh yes, how did you reply at that time?

"Let's go back!"

……

"Is it better than the first floor?"

Hearing Asuna's question, which seemed to be holding back for a long time, He Yuan was silent for a while.

"Asuna!"

“……”

No one answered.

Sitting up from the ground, He Yuan found that Asuna, who was hugging her knees, was dazed and seemed to be distracted!

"Hey, Asuna!"

The voice is slightly raised.

"Huh? Ah sorry, rude, just distracted! ”

The sudden voice in her ears interrupted the girl's memories, only to find that He Yuan was staring at him, and hurriedly waved his hand to apologize.

"It's fine."

Shaking his head, He Yuan turned to the side and sat in a row with Asuna.

"Asuna, do you think it's useless for us to level up like this?"

"Huh?"

After being stunned for a moment, Asuna came back to her senses, and she, just now, seemed to have complained so much.

"Well, I think that if everyone cooperates well and there are no mistakes in switching attacks and the like, it will be very helpful for the strategy boss."

"I don't deny that."

Reach out and grab a piece of grass on the ground, break it off, and bring it to your mouth like a cigarette.

Feeling the slightly bitter taste coming from the tip of his tongue, He Yuan's mind turned.

Sure enough, with the addition of the main god, these plants and trees are no longer the original decorations with an "indestructible" state.

"But, Asuna, are you getting the point wrong?"

"Huh? Am I getting the point wrong? ”

Asuna's right index finger was pointed at herself, and her eyes were wide open with disbelief.

"Hmm."

Giving Asuna an affirmative answer, He Yuan stood up from the grass and spit out the grass in his mouth with a "poof".

"Asuna, we want to attack the boss and break through this game, the cooperation you said is indeed a good way."

"But Asuna, not all people can be like you, dedicated to the boss."

"It doesn't take time to crack this game, and it doesn't take days or months to do it."

"If you have to calculate it carefully, I think it will take at least three years."

"And in the three years of attacking the boss, all the players who survived will have their own careful thoughts."

"People with these careful thoughts, they will form groups that are beneficial to themselves."

Speaking of this, He Yuan paused.

Asuna, she's only fifteen years old now, right?

Isn't it too cruel to tell her this now?

"Na, Asuna, do you think that the boss guarding the level has to be a group of people to attack it?"

"Huh? Isn't it? ”

Asuna was taken aback: "Even if you are He Yuan, you can't successfully attack Ilfang alone, right?" ”

Now, it was He Yuan's turn to be surprised.

Although he didn't want to hide it from Asuna, but, man, he really didn't want his wasteful side to show in front of others!

"When did you find out?"

"The first time I went to the boss's door, I knew it."

"He Yuan, on the day we met, you went to attack the boss alone, right?"

Getting up from the grass, Asuna patted the grass clippings under her skirt with both hands, walked to the opposite side of He Yuan, and looked up at He Yuan's eyes.

"The reason why you're even scared of fighting a bumblebee is because the strategy has failed, right? And, the kind that almost died? ”

"Hmm."

There is no need to deny this, failure is failure, and cowardice and fear of death are cowardice and fear of death.

"At that time, I was indeed a little arrogant, and I entered the maze area alone, even if it was the boss of the first layer, I didn't pay attention to it."

"And then ......"

Shaking his head, shaking off the thoughts in his mind, He Yuan looked at the girl in front of him.

"Although at first, I was quite ashamed of my incompetence."

"But now, I'm really grateful for that failure."

Because, I met you, Asuna!

"Huh? Huh? If you fail or something, can you still say thank you? ”

"Huh!" Squinting his eyes, the light in He Yuan's hand flickered, and two crepes appeared in his hand.

"Give."

Hand one of them to Asuna: "I bought this one in a small shop in Ulbas, and it's much better than brown bread." ”

"Crepes? I didn't expect to be able to eat it here. ”

"After all, it's a game, as long as there is the corresponding data, anything can be made."

"Really?" Squinting her eyes, Asuna took a bite gently: "Hmm~~ delicious." ”

"Hmm." After eating the crepe, He Yuan patted his stomach that was already full, and said: "In the auxiliary skills column, there are auxiliary skills such as forging, cooking, and sewing, if the level is high, the things made are no worse than those in the game." ”

"Cooking?"

Asuna lowered her head and looked at the broken crepe in her hand: "Na, He Yuan." ”

"What?"

"You say, how about I choose cooking as a perk skill?"

In the bright night, the moon in the river shone with the flow of the river, and the two figures also got closer with the ripples......

……

"Hmm~~"

"Is it dawn?

Rubbing her eyes, Asuna straightened her hair a little and walked out of the tent.

"Huh? Huh? What are you doing? ”

"Yo, Asuna, are you awake?"

Hearing Asuna's voice, He Yuan looked back and said with a smile: "As for what I'm doing, isn't it obvious?" Barbecue, barbecue. ”

That's right, He Yuan is indeed roasting meat now.

Yesterday, the two of them killed most of the bison, but they dropped some good things.

Bison: Ingredients.

This morning, He Yuan wanted to try cooking on a whim.

Instead of making Asuna a cooking expert, it would be better to do it herself, so that she could eat all the time, right?
