“…… Wake up, wake up a thousand things!"

Asuna's eager cries, Xia Qianshi barely opened his eyes, but the pain that ran through his head still made an uncomfortable expression appear on his face.

"Painful ......"

After looking around, it was clear that this was no longer the main block square on the second floor.

The familiar surroundings, and the softness that came from beneath him, all of this meant that he had returned to Torbana's home on the first floor.

Turning over and tilting her face up, you can see Asuna's entire face close in front of you, and you can see her frowning and biting her lips as if she was about to cry.

"Scare ——!"

didn't expect Xia Qianshi to suddenly turn her head, Asuna was startled, and quickly turned her head away, and her pretty face floated a touch of crimson.

Smiling, Xia Qianshi asked softly, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”

"It's not too long, about half an hour......" After a pause, Asuna asked, "Qianshi, what happened to you just now?" Why do you faint suddenly? Scared the hell out of me. ”

"It's nothing, it's just too tired."

yes, it's really tiring.

In that month of constant fighting, except for one or two good night's sleep, most of the rest of the time was only two or three hours of sleep, sometimes even all-nighters.

I've accumulated fatigue for so long, and I thought I would be able to sleep well after coming back, but as soon as I came back, I had to go to the 50th floor boss non-stop.

The boss on the 50th floor is not a general person, it is a super boss comparable to a two-headed giant.

If it weren't for the newly realized skill [Sword Art] and a super piece of equipment obtained by defeating the two-headed giant, he would not have the slightest chance of victory.

But even so, after this battle, he was exhausted, close to the point of running out of oil and lamps.

Forcing one's body to attend Tilberu's funeral was already the limit of what could be achieved under the impetus of a powerful mind.

When everything is done, it's normal to fall unconscious due to detachment.

Seeing that Asuna opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, Xia Qianshi took the lead and said, "I'll talk about my affairs later, you should first tell me what happened to the guild during this time." ”

Glancing at what Asuna was wearing, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, you, along with Kirito, have already quit the guild, right?" ”

The guild's uniform should be a red knight's uniform, but Asuna is now wearing a white knight's uniform, which can already explain a lot.

"The current guild is no longer the original [Ayngrant Liberation Army]."

A gloomy look appeared on Asuna's face, and she began to tell Xia Qianshi about what had happened in the past month.

It turned out that one of the survivors of the boss battle that day was the Tooth King.

Not only did he survive, but he also picked up items that Tilberu dropped after his death, one of which was the 'Promised Scroll', which he used to manage the guild.

In Xia Qianshi's absence, the Tooth King became the only person who could manipulate the guild.

At first, he still had some scruples, but a week later, when Xia Qianshi didn't have any information, he began to intensify his efforts.

As the elders of the guild, Kirito, Asuna, and Achill went to denounce him together, but he choked up, "If you were willing to focus more on the guild, Lord Tilberu would not have died."

The three had nothing to say.

Kirito likes the life of a lone ranger, Achill prefers to be a businessman, and Asuna is concerned about the gossip in the guild (in fact, this is also related to Xia Qianshi, many people in the guild say that she is the president's girlfriend, but Xia Qianshi has never responded to this matter positively, which makes her feel embarrassed).

The three of them didn't put too much energy into the guild, and at this time, they were choked by the Tooth King, and they didn't know how to refute it.

For more than half a month, the Tooth King organized a guild-wide vote, and the topic of the vote was whether to abolish the positions of Kirito, Asuna, and the Tooth King.

Astonishingly, more than 2,000 people voted in favor!

As a result, Asuna and the others were removed from their positions, and in a fit of rage, she quit the guild along with more than a thousand people in the guild.

"Later, we learned that those more than 2,000 people were bewitched and threatened by the Tooth King." Asuna sighed.

Xia Qianshi disappeared for a month without any news, although his name has not been crossed out, but the vast majority of people no longer think that he is still alive.

Some people even say that he probably had a physical accident in reality, such as brain death or something.

All in all, no one thought he would ever be able to return to the guild.

If Xia Qianshi doesn't come back, then the Tooth King, who has the prop of the 'Scroll of Promise', will become the head of the guild.

Asuna said: "Most of the more than 2,000 people are people who are on the first floor waiting for rescue, and they all join the guild for the benefit of the guild, so they naturally want to curry favor with the Tooth King who is in power. ”

"But at the end of the day, they also supported the actions of the Tooth King, didn't they?" In a calm tone, he couldn't even see any expression on Xia Qianshi's face.

"Hmm......" Asuna knew what he was thinking, and said softly, "But it can't be said that they have their hearts set on the Tooth King, as long as you return to the guild and regain power, it is very simple." ”

Indeed, Xia Qianshi is the foundation of the guild.

It was his absence before that the Tooth King could be rampant.

But now that he's back, it's very easy to clean up the Tooth King.

However, Xia Qianshi sighed.

"Forget it."

"Huh?" Asuna didn't react.

"I said, forget it."

Xia Qianshi suddenly felt a little excited.

He knows the way those people think, and he understands their choices, but people are emotional creatures after all, and they can't treat all problems with reason.

The benefits of the guild were formulated by him, and it was he who allowed these people to live in peace until now, without worrying about life or facing sinister monsters.

But in the end, it was exchanged for this kind of betrayal.

Xia Qianshi understands them, but it is impossible to forgive them, even if he wants to take back the guild, he will definitely not be able to tolerate these people.

“……”

Asuna suddenly didn't know how to persuade Xia Qianshi, because even she had a good temper, she was almost angry with those people.

"Let's talk about these things later, didn't you just say that you were very tired? Then you go to bed first, I won't bother you. ”

Asuna, who shook her head, stood up, her thoughts were also chaotic now, although she still had a lot to say to Xia Qianshi, but she didn't know where to start for a while.

She was going to go out to calm down for a while, and then come to talk to Xia Qianshi.

But as soon as she stood up, she was grabbed by Xia Qianshi's wrist-

"Can you stay with me?"

Xia Qianshi took her hand and said.
