Chapter 156: Another Year
Winter goes to spring, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed......
It was a sunny day, and in the afternoon, on the edge of a lake in a forest on the 22nd floor of Al Grande, a beautiful young man in black casual clothes was fishing, but he was completely careless about fishing, looking at his sleepy eyes and yawning on the face of a pair of dead fish eyes.
After all, fishing is a very patient job, and at the same time, it has to be very focused, and it is easy to make people sleepy, so it is understandable that Luo Tianhuan is so drowsy.
"It's annoying, isn't it just that you've cleared the 99th floor, is it necessary to have a celebration dinner? With such good weather, brother wants to sleep......" After wiping away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes because of yawning, Luo Tianhuan complained dissatisfiedly, his tone full of resentment.
After defeating the 75th floor of the guard boss, after a year, players defeated the 99th floor guard boss this morning! Cleared the 99th floor! March to the last 100 floors!
Of course, Luo Tianhuan also helps, or rather, since Luo Tianhuan and the strategy group cooperated to attack the 75th floor of the guard boss, there will be a second and third time and so on for the first time, so the strategy group will find Luo Tianhuan to cooperate from time to time, and go to the strategy boss together, and Luo Tianhuan is too lazy to work thanklessly alone, and is willing to cooperate with the strategy group, over time, although Luo Tianhuan has not joined the strategy group from beginning to end, but the players in the strategy group have already regarded Luo Tianhuan as a member of the strategy group.
The 99th floor has been cleared, which means that as long as you defeat the last boss of the last 100 floors, players can be liberated from this ever-fearing death game!
For this reason, although the 99th floor was only cleared this morning, in less than a few hours, the news spread to every corner of Al Grant and basically all the players who survived and lived in this game world went crazy!
At this time, every floor of Ayn Grant, players in every corner are celebrating and cheering like crazy, celebrating the clearance of the 99th floor, and also applauding the strategy group and Luo Tianhuan, who have been committed to Raiders SAO, and while celebrating and cheering, players are also secretly praying in their hearts, praying for the smooth clearance of the last floor......
And when others are celebrating,On the side of the hero,,It's also celebrating for this.,No,Asuna and Kirito's proposal to have a celebration dinner at home.,This proposal was approved by many people.,Although Luo Tianhuan doesn't really want to do such a troublesome thing.,But there's no way.,The minority obeys the majority.,He's now being sent out to fish.,Prepare the ingredients for the banquet.。
"It's almost okay...... "Catch a fish again, Luo Tianhuan put the fish in the bucket next to him, after yawning, a pair of spiritless dead fish eyes swept through the bucket, looked at the number of fish in the bucket, muttered to himself, stood up, put away the fishing rod, and then carried the bucket and walked to Kirito's house.
At this time, in the room, Kirito, Klein, Achill, Keita, Liz, Sirika, Yui and Argo, who usually sees the dragon without seeing each other, are sitting in the living room chatting and playing, the boys are talking about everything, from this topic to that topic, and the three girls, Liz, Sirika and Argo, are playing with Yui, and the cheerful laughter is endless.
"Coming back so soon? Are you lazy? Seeing Luo Tianhuan carrying a bucket into the house, Klein teased with a smile.
"Lazy you wool, I've been out in the sun for more than an hour, you have nothing to do here, you can only stand and talk without backache Shut up the guy." Luo Tianhuan glanced at Klein angrily, walked directly to the kitchen, and handed the fish to Asuna and Yuki, who were in charge of preparing the food.
Then, Luo Tianhuan sat next to Kirito and chatted with them, of course, he was more often listening to what they were saying, and he would interject a sentence or two from time to time.
……
Soon, before you know it, it's night.
"Everybody......," Klein glanced around. Are you all set? ”
Luo Tianhuan, Kirito, Asuna, Yui, Liz, Yuki, Yuki, Akil, Sirika, Keita, and Argo who were present glanced at each other, and all smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Klein raised the glass full of wine in his hand: "So, for the clearance of the 99th floor, let, cheers!" ”
"Cheers!!" Everyone raised their cups, and together they pushed the cups to the middle, colliding together, and in a burst of jingling sounds, laughter, drank the wine in the glass, of course, Yui, Sirika, and Luo Tianhuan's cups were filled with juice.
After draining a whole large glass of wine in one go, Klein exclaimed with a comfortable expression: "Ah~~~ It's so comfortable!" ”
"Don't drink too much...... Keita said with a blank face as he took a step away from Klein, "I don't want to carry you back at the end of the banquet." ”
"Huh?" Klein was stunned for a moment.
"We don't want to!" Luo Tianhuan, Kirito, and Achill said in unison, which made Klein, who was originally in a very comfortable mood, suddenly become unhappy.
"It's too much, you guys, it's rare to be so happy today......"
Kirito and the others laughed, and Klein smacked his lips, but soon became happy again: "Well, forget it, eat vegetables and eat vegetables......"
Klein picked up a large piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and said with relish, "Oh! It's delicious! ”
Achill nodded approvingly: "Well, it's really delicious, in the words of Heavenly Illusion, praise one!" ”
"Looks like we're going to have a good mouth tonight." Keita said with a smile.
Asuna and Yuki both smiled happily, and everyone would be happy that their dishes would be praised by people.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" Argo looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, gobbling up food into his mouth as quickly as possible.
"Hey, I said, Sister Mouse, haven't you eaten in a few days?" In this regard, Luo Tian is embarrassed.
"It's all said, don't call me Sister Mouse!" Argo protested dissatisfiedly, staring at Luo Tianhuan with a resentful gaze.
Because Argo has the name of a mouse, and there are three mouse-like whiskers on his face, plus a short curly blonde hair and a nasal voice when he speaks, he is very much like a creature like a mouse, so a long time ago, Luo Tianhuan gave Argo the title of Sister Mouse, in this regard, Argo is all kinds of unhappy, but Luo Tianhuan is unrepentant, and over time, even Kirito They will use the title of Sister Rat to ridicule Argo from time to time.
"Okay, Sister Mouse, no problem, Sister Mouse." Luo Tianhuan nodded seriously.
"......" Argo suddenly said that he was a dog, oh no, he was a dog, and he had all kinds of MMP in his heart.
Seeing Argo's deflated appearance, the others laughed even more.
"There's only one floor left...... Kirito held the cup and looked up at the ceiling. We're going to leave this world soon......"
Hearing this, the joyful atmosphere of the scene became a little silent in an instant, and everyone was involuntarily silent, with a look of memory in their eyes.
Although they all want to leave this world, it is undeniable that this world that they hated very much in the past has indeed left them with a lot of memories, some bad and some good.
Human habits are a very terrible thing, and in three years, the players living in the SAO have become accustomed to life in this world, including everyone present.
Now, the moment of leaving this world is infinitely closer, which makes them feel a little sad.
Is it reluctant? Or are you mourning the three years you have lost?
Perhaps, even they don't know......
What is certain, though, is that they have no regrets, and on that day three years ago, they landed in this hateful and loving death game.
Asuna smiled gently, turned her head to look at Kirito, and took Kirito's hand, Liz, Yuki, Sirika, and Argo also held hands with each other, and Keita, Klein, and Achill beat each other's chests, and everything was self-evident.
If it weren't for this world, they wouldn't know anyone else there, and from this point on, they are truly grateful for the game and brought their lovers and best friends to their side......
Compared to other players, they are undoubtedly happy, because here, they have a bond and have a lot of good memories, so much so that in retrospect, even if they don't have the urge to shed tears, they all have a smile on their faces and a warm feeling in their hearts.
For all this, Yui on the side is the strongest feeling, as a psychological and spiritual healing program, Yui's original job is to make all the players in the game smile here, but the nature of this game makes it all come to naught, almost making her herself run away.
But now, everything is different, although in SAO, Yui can still feel the negative emotions of the players all the time, but the people here are smiling from the bottom of their hearts, which makes Yui very touched and very happy.
She is also grateful to the world for letting her meet her parents, and at the same time, she is also grateful to Luo Tianhuan, because Luo Tianhuan saved her from the game system, otherwise, it would be impossible to experience such a strong positive emotion.
Looking at everyone present who was smiling and looking at each other, Yui suddenly had a strong reluctance, perhaps, after SAO was completely cleared, he would never be able to see them again......
At this time, two hands gently pressed on her head, gently stroking her little head, Yui quickly raised her head, and the next moment, the smiling faces of Kiritto and Asuna came into her eyes......
Yui smiled, laughing happily, laughing happily, and at the same time smiling firmly.
There will definitely be a way! We will definitely meet again!
Of course, warmth to warmth, memories to memories, it was also quite strange to be immersed in memories all the time, and it didn't take long for everyone present to react.
"Now, Kirito......" Asuna looked up and looked at Kirito with very serious eyes. When you get back to the real world, you're going to come to me! ”
Kirito touched his head, and he was a little embarrassed under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes: "Of course, after all, I still owe you a real wedding ring." ”
Asuna immediately smiled beautifully.
"And, Asuna, you promised me that when you and Kirito get married, you would let me be your bridesmaid, and you can't go back." Liz said hurriedly, as if Asuna wouldn't remember or regret it.
"Got it, got ......it," Asuna smiled and shook her head.
"And I still have me, and I want it too!" Sirika raised her little hand and came to join in the fun.
"Okay...... Asuna smiled helplessly, looking at Yuki and Argo. Let's all come. ”
"Huh? Can I do it too? Argo was surprised, he didn't expect to have a share.
"Well, thank you......" Fortunately, there was no pretension, and he thanked him gently.
"Since you are all Asuna's bridesmaids, then let's be Kirito's best man!" Keita happily proposed.
"Hey, hey, you know, Asuna and I are both underage, isn't it too early to talk about the future?" Being talked about by so many people about his personal affairs with Asuna, Kirito is very embarrassed.
"What......" Klein gave Kirito a teasing look. After all, it's still a ghost. ”
"Don't talk big...... "Achill on the side sarcastically said, "You can't even compare to a little ghost, at least someone is still married." ”
Klein's smiling face froze, and seeing this, Keita held his belly and laughed.
Asuna was also laughing, but soon remembered something, and asked Kirito to open her mouth, and then took a piece of meat to feed Kirito.
Kirito was embarrassed to make such an intimate move in front of so many people, but the world is big and his wife is the biggest, so he can only be cheeky and accept Asuna's feeding and feed a large wave of dog food to the single dogs present.
Of these, Klein's reaction was the most violent.
Klein rubbed his hair like crazy: "Hey, hey, hey! What's going on with you! If you want to show affection, can't you wait until we leave? Put *** here, it's too unconscionable! ”
"So what?" Asuna glanced at Klein with a whimsical look. "If you have the ability, you can also find a girlfriend."
Klein suddenly knelt down and cried out with tears in his eyes: "Do you think I don't want to? If you can find it, who will accuse you winners of life here! ”
Among the men present, Kiritto has Asuna, Keita has a girlfriend, and Achill doesn't have a partner here, but in the real world, they are married people.
So, among the men at the scene, except for Klein, only Luo Tianhuan is still a single dog, no wonder he is so lost......
As if he had been played badly, Klein patted Luo Tianhuan's shoulder, looked at him with affectionate eyes, and said undisciplined words in a righteous and indignant tone: "Tianfan, don't pay attention to these heavenly life winners, let's just do it!" Heterosexual love is only for the sake of reproduction, and true love can be found between people of the same sex! ”
Well, Tianhua is so beautiful, it's no problem to treat him as a girl!
Here's what Klein thought,
Sou!
However, before Klein could finish speaking, a silver light grazed his cheek and passed through his ear.
In an instant, Klein broke out in a cold sweat, turned his head slightly, and saw a silver knife inserted in the wall behind him, and then turned his gaze to the front, and saw Luo Tianhuan swaying an identical silver knife in his hand.
Although his face was expressionless, Luo Tianhuan said innocently: "Na, what did you just say?" I have bad ears, can you say more about it? ”
"Nothing...... Klein quickly took a few steps back and waved his hand nervously, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and cause his own death.
Thinking that even Luo Tianhuan had abandoned him, Klein felt that he was so cool and cold, looking up at the ceiling at a sad 45-degree angle, but he immediately rolled his eyes, and slowly shifted his gaze to the four of Xing, Liz, Sirika, and Argo, and his eyes gradually became rippling.
The four girls trembled, looking at Klein's ill-intentioned eyes, and without thinking about it, they took a few steps back directly, looking at him with vigilant faces.
"Sorry, you're not my type." Argo unleashed the first blow with a blank face, sending Klein shudder.
"I'm sorry, you're a good guy......" Ko gave Klein a good guy card, and Klein shuddered again.
"Want to hit my attention? Dream on! Liz unleashed a sharp blow, and Klein was sad and reluctant.
"You weird!" Cerica struck a heartfelt blow, and Klein was already crying.
Asuna stepped forward and didn't speak, just looked at Klein with disdain, silent is better than sound, no move is better than move, KO, snap, Klein bent forward in frustration, and his back was dim.
"As for that...... As for that...... As for that......"
Klein uttered curse-like words, which made Yui a little unbearable, walked up to Klein, and said, "It's okay, you will definitely be able to find the girl you love." ”
As if hearing the voice of an angel, Klein raised his head with a touched face, looked at Yui with a gentle smile, and trembled with emotion: "Yui-chan, it's really your best!" ”
Yui lowered her head embarrassedly and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Klein......"
Klein was completely stunned, his whole body turned gray and shattered, and little by little, only one sentence kept echoing in his mind.
"Uncle...... Uncle...... I'm an uncle......"
The resentful chatter made Luo Tianhuan and the others a little unbearable, shook their heads helplessly, glanced at each other, and then turned their heads away with an expression of "I don't know this guy", and stopped looking at Klein.
"That's right!" At this time, Asuna turned her head to look at Luo Tianhuan, and her expression began to turn positive. "Luo Tianfan, you can go to the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights in Gransom tomorrow!"
Hearing this, everyone restrained their joking mentality and set their eyes on Asuna, Klein stopped playing treasure, and his expression gradually became serious.
"Blood Alliance Knights Headquarters......" Kirito frowned. Was it the order of Captain Heathcliff? ”
Asuna nodded, and Klein took over and said, "It's not just Heavenly Illusion, Kirito and Achill, you all go to the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights tomorrow, and the entire strategy group will gather there tomorrow!" ”
"The entire Raiders group has all gathered at the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights?" Kirito raised his head suddenly: "Is it ......?"
Luo Tianhuan looked directly at Asuna and Klein: "With such a big formation, I think tomorrow's gathering should be for the strategy of the 100th layer of Ayn Grant, right?" ”
"He deserves to be the strongest player, and he will hit it as soon as he says it!" Asuna teased at first, and then said: "After three years, Ayngrant finally only has the last 100 floors left, but you don't have to think about it to know that the last 25 floors have arrived, and the 100-layer guard boss is undoubtedly the strongest existence in the entire SAO, there is no one!" ”
After a pause, Asuna looked at Luo Tianhuan with a solemn face: "In such a situation, it is no longer possible to win this final boss with the strength of the strategy group, so the strategy team plans to gather all the top players in the whole SAO when attacking the 100-layer guard boss, unite the entire strategy group, and win the guard boss at one time, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of complete customs clearance!" ”
"All the top players in the whole SAO......" Luo Tianhuan narrowed his eyes.
"Ah......" Klein smiled bitterly, "After all, this is our last level, and we must pass it!" ”
"And if you can't even break through with such a formation!" Achill said in a gruff voice. "In this world, there will be no hope of completely clearing the level!"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, and everyone's faces were very heavy, even Luo Tianhuan.
He knew that the ultimate boss was Heatscliff himself!
In other words, the decisive battle with Heathcliff is finally coming!
He estimated that when the players reached the location of the 100-story boss guarding the level, Heathcliff would really turn his face and reveal his true identity!
At that time, players who go to the 100th floor to defend the boss strategy battle should be hit hard......
Gathering the top players of the whole SAO, does Heathcliffe want to win all the top players at once?
In this regard, Luo Tianhuan didn't know if Heathcliff thought so, but he knew that in this battle, maybe only himself and Kiritsu were Heathcliff's opponents.
