This is a forest leveling area in the north of the first layer of Ayngrant, and the monster is a level 4 small wood demon, the appearance is not terrible, and there are no other characteristics except for the thickness of the blood, but the material that broke out 'Black Wood' is a common tool for forging weapons.

Asuna came here with 10 members of her group to farm materials, and with her current level of 11, it was more than enough to protect the members of the team.

In fact, with her identity, she didn't have to do this kind of thing, after all, it is a waste of time to bring a novice, you must know that maintaining the high-end combat power of the guild is a very important thing, just leave it to others to bring the novice brush materials.

But Asuna felt that she was a high-level guild leader and should take the lead, so she came directly despite the dissuasion.

"Let's take a break, let's finish dinner before continuing."

Asuna used a move 'Star Dust Splash' to kill all the three little wood demons in front of her in seconds, put away the props that the monster fell out, and said to her teammates.

It was already 7 p.m., it was already dark, and if it was in reality, it would have long since passed the normal end of work.

But there's no such thing as an off-duty game in SAO these days - no, they're technically playing a game right now, but when the game endangers their lives, no one can treat it as a simple game.

So in order to improve their strength, they have to continue to fight even at night.

Finding a safer place, everyone sat on the floor, leaned against the tree, and began to settle their own dinner.

Lizbet, Yuki, and another loli get together, and the three girls have become friends in the battle just now.

Lizbet and Yuki also learned that Lori's name was Sirika.

Sirika has just turned 12 years old this year and is still in the sixth grade of primary school, but she is not full of fear of this game because of her young age, but has the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

When others didn't dare to come forward to talk because of Asuna's aura, she dared to run over and took the initiative to invite: "Captain Asuna, will you come over and eat with us too?" ”

"Okay."

Asuna gladly agreed, she also admired the three courageous girls, and when she saw that they were eating black bread + spring water, she took out her own food and said, "In order to thank you for inviting me to dinner, I will invite this meal." ”

"This is ......" Seeing the food handed over by Asuna, Lizbet's greedy saliva was about to flow out: "This is a sandwich?" ”

"Well, I'm still making it myself, with fried eggs and ham in it, but it's a pity that my current chef level can't make chicken cutlets, otherwise the chicken cutlets will be more delicious!"

"Captain Asuna also learned to cook?"

At this time, even Yuki showed a look of surprise.

You must know that in "SAO" nowadays, cooking skills are called the most rubbish life skills together with life skills such as music and fishing.

Because compared to life skills such as forging and alchemy, cooking skills can't contribute anything to clearing the game, not to mention that food can be bought in restaurants, just to fill your stomach, it only costs 3 kor a day.

"Don't call me Captain Asuna, I think we're about the same age, so call me Asuna."

Although she was full of heroic aura, Asuna was only a girl who had just turned 16 years old, gently stroked her long chestnut hair, and said, "I know, you must think I'm wasting precious time, right?" ”

Seeing that they all looked embarrassed, Asuna smiled and said in an almost murmuring tone:

"I probably thought the same thing you did a month ago...... Crying alone every night. I always feel that if I spend one more day in this world, whether it is family, friends, going to school, etc., my life in the real world will be ruined, and the whole person will feel like I am about to go crazy. When I sleep, I always dream about the original world...... I thought that the only way to solve the problem was to get stronger quickly and get the game down as soon as possible, so I desperately improved my skills about weapons. ”

"However, one day half a month ago, I saw a person lying on the ground after just brushing the monster for an afternoon, and I was angry and asked him why he wasted his time like this, but I was told by him, 'People have to rest when they are tired, isn't it a matter of course?'"

"It's a very simple truth, but we all forget it, and I thought, 'This person really lives in this world.'" Instead of caring about the real world life disappearing day by day, focus on the experience of living in this world every day. ”

"After that, there was more contact, and he let me know that even if it's just a game, you can still taste delicious food, take a hot shower, and sleep in a comfortable bed...... It turns out that even in this game of death, I can enjoy life. ”

Asuna also felt these words, usually embarrassed to say it when facing Kirita and Xia Qianshi, but today I met these three little sisters who fell in love, and I couldn't help but say it for a while.

But when she came back to her senses, she found that the three girls were all looking at her with a narrow face, which made her feel weak for no reason, and waved her hand and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?" ”

"Uh-huh~~ I smell the sour smell of love——"

Lizzy Belle's voice dragged out in a bad tone and said with a wicked smile, "Miss Asuna, can you tell me who 'he' is referring to?" ”

"What a sour smell of love, he and I are just ordinary friends!" Asuna was embarrassed, and her little face was instantly stained with an intoxicating flush.

"Haha, my heart is empty!" Lizbet gossiped and said: "I can actually harvest Asuna's heart, this person is not simple, who could it be......"

"It can't be President Xia Qianshi, right?" Sirika blurted out.

“——！”

As if there was some kind of chemical reaction, Asuna, who was desperately denying it just now, was like a duck choked by the neck in an instant, although she was about to shed tears in a hurry, but she couldn't say a word.

And Lizzebet and Xing, who were still interested just now, suddenly fell silent.

Sirika blinked her red eyes, looked at Yuki and Lizbet, and then at Asuna, her little head, who had just turned 12 years old, couldn't figure out what was going on, why did the three sisters suddenly stop talking?

But when she turned to look at Asuna, she saw that there seemed to be a moving mist behind her.

Thinking she was hallucinating, she blinked vigorously, but when she opened it again, the fog became more apparent.

Suddenly, the mist twisted, and two eyes that flashed with a fierce color met hers—a pair of eyes hidden under the hood.

"Ah——!h

Celica pointed behind Asuna's back and instinctively let out an exclamation.

This exclamation woke up Asuna in her trance, and before she had time to think about it, she instinctively pulled out her thin sword and stabbed it backwards with force—

"Sonorous!"

The dagger and dagger collided together, bursting into fierce sparks, and Asuna jumped backwards with a big step, only to see that it was a man in a black cloak who suddenly attacked her, and behind the man in the cloak, nearly ten more people slowly emerged.

Judging by the outfits, these people should all be - players!
