After eating, Xia Qianshi and the others threw their rice bowls into the kitchen, even if they were cleaned up-

This is very good in "SAO", the kitchenware is equipped with an automatic cleaning function, and the player only needs to click on it, and there is no need to work hard to clean it by himself like in reality.

As a person who has come over, Xia Qianshi said that washing dishes is really more troublesome than cooking, because the latter you can at least feel some fun from it, and the former can only repeat the same action.

After cleaning up, everyone got together again and chatted for a while, and after Asuna yawned, everyone decided to take a shower and go to bed.

"Since you're looking forward to taking a shower in the game, then Asuna will let you go first." Xia Qianshi said to the yawning sword envoy, "The bathroom is in the first room on the left side of the second floor. ”

"Ah...... Well, I got it......"

Asuna was still a little ashamed to visit someone's house and enter the bathroom all at once, but she didn't need to care about it now.

"Then, I'll go in first." With that, Asuna walked towards the door with the "Bathroom" nameplate hanging on it.

At this moment, Xia Qianshi accosted: "By the way, just in case, I still say that although it is a bathroom, it is far from the real world." Creating a liquid environment is still an area where NervGear is not good at...... Anyway, don't expect too much. ”

“…… As long as there is hot water, I don't expect anything else. ”

After answering from the bottom of her heart, Asuna pushed open the bathroom door and immediately walked inside, closing the door carefully.

To be honest, the bathroom is not luxurious, and even a little shabby - after all, this is only an NPC room, and in order to save system resources, it is naturally done in the most concise way.

But the bathtub placed across the wall made Asuna's mood beautiful for a moment.

She pulls up the menu window and presses the button on the right side of the screen to disarm all the weapons and armor that 'equip the humanoid' display.

The cape with the hat that had been worn on his body until now, the brass armor that covered his chest, the two long gloves and boots, and the rapier that hung from his waist were all gone.

The chestnut hair flowed as if pouring down, and with the fairy-like beauty, Asuna had a palpitating beauty at this moment.

All that was left was a wool knit top with three-quarter sleeves, and long leather shorts.

The button changed to 'Unloaded', Asuna pressed it again, and then the top and shorts disappeared, leaving only two cotton underwear.

Asuna looked at the door again and made sure it was closed, before pressing the button that changed to 'All Underwear Unloaded'.

After only three operations, the virtual body was naked, and although she knew that no one was peeping, the girl still hurriedly hugged her perfect delicate body and jumped into the bathtub with a 'plop'.

"Uh-huh......"

Asuna couldn't help but exclaim.

Indeed, as Xia Qianshi said before, it is impossible to reproduce the bathroom in the real world, the feeling of skin and hot water, the water pressure hitting the body, and the emitted light on the water surface swaying under the face, all of which have a subtle sense of disobedience.

In a way, it should be the same as eating, and the preset 'bathing sensation' program is operated, and as long as you close your eyes and stretch your hands and feet, you won't feel the subtle parts mentioned above.

Closing her eyes and submerging her mouth in the water, letting her whole body relax slowly, Asuna began to enjoy the long-lost pleasure of bathing in earnest.

……

This soak was a long time, until Asuna hit her head on the string of the bathtub because she dozed off and let out a cry of pain, only to wake up and find that she had been soaking in the bathtub for more than an hour.

Although she was a little reluctant to leave this comfortable place, Asuna still stood up from the bathtub with supreme perseverance.

"In the future, I must buy a beautiful big house, have a very luxurious bathroom, and be able to eat delicious food every day!"

At this moment, Asuna has a new goal, and the whole person is much more vibrant than fighting just for 'death' before.

After getting dressed, Asuna walked down the corridor and was about to go to the living room on the first floor to inform Xia Qianshi that they would come to take a bath, but just as they were about to reach the stairs, a conversation came from the first floor:

"I'm ...... ...... who don't deserve to team up with you"

The black-clad swordsman's painful voice made Asuna suddenly stop and choose to lean against the wall to eavesdrop.

I only heard the black-clothed swordsman say in a tone of inferiority: "Because...... I'm a vile beta tester. ”

To be honest, Asuna, who is a novice in the game, still doesn't understand what the closed beta means, but she knows that there are many players who are now crusading against the closed beta and clamoring to find out the closed beta and 'execute'!

In the eyes of these people, the main responsibility for the deaths of thousands of players in the game so far is that these closed beta testers are primarily responsible.

Just when Asuna was thinking like this, Xia Qianshi spoke: "Isn't that "Beginner's Strategy Manual" made by your beta testers? If you've already contributed to the players, why do you feel sorry for other players? ”

"The Beginner's Guidebook?"

Asuna heard a mocking laugh, "It's really something that is only suitable for novices - the strategy for cherishing the mission, there is no one on it; There is no spawn place for the wild boss. It's true to say it's a boon for new players, but it's perfectly fine to say it's a 'selfish embodiment of closed beta players'. ”

Hearing this, Asuna almost understood something.

Kirito is a beta tester, on the one hand, he occupies a lot of resources by cheating; On the other hand, he was ashamed of his actions. Especially now that he is with Xia Qianshi and others, in the face of Xia Qianshi and Asuna, who have been promoted by his own efforts, he feels deeply inferior as a cheater.

"Then let me put it another way." Xia Qianshi said: "You say you are despicable, where do you think you are despicable?" ”

"At the beginning of the game, I left behind the friends I had made in the game; And one person grabbed a lot of game resources......"

"How long have you known that friend?"

“…… More than two hours......"

"Have you ever used illegal means, such as PK, when seizing resources?"

“…… No. ”

“…… Sure enough, it's a 14-year-old naïve year! Xia Qianshi sighed and said: "Listen, everything you have done is completely a normal choice made by a normal person, and it is already very remarkable that you can do it to this extent when your life is threatened, and it is impossible for those who crusade against you to do better than you." ”

After a pause, Xia Qianshi continued: "Do you know the difference between the Holy Mother and the Holy Mother? ”

“……”

There was no sound coming, and Asuna estimated that Kirito shook her head, because she immediately heard Xia Qianshi continue:

"The true Madonna: merciful and glad to spend her own money; And the Holy: a heart of mercy and a willingness to give to others. ”

"For those who don't take action themselves, but just shout slogans in their mouths and blame you for not helping others - this kind of person is completely unnecessary, because their words annoy themselves, and it is very stupid."

"Finally, I would like to give you a word: no matter what others think of you, as long as you have a clear conscience."

"Whew-"

Asuna obviously felt that Kirito's breath was much lighter, but just as she was happy to untie Kirito's heart, she heard the other party laugh in a tone that made her hateful:

"Don't just talk about me, Brother Qianshi, when will the conflict between you and Asuna end? Tomorrow is the boss fight, and I think it's time for you to reconcile. ”

"I've said it all, I'm not in a relationship with that woman!" Xia Qianshi roared: "You see that woman even wears a cloak when she eats, and she is obviously ugly and faceless...... This kind of person, how could I be with her-"

"Knock ——!!!"

A loud noise sounded on the second floor, followed by a palpitating murderous aura, Xia Qianshi and Kirito turned their heads tremblingly, and saw Asuna covered in black smoke......
