On the evening of March 21, 2023, the eleventh floor of Ayn Grant [Taft].

The streets of the town are very tidy, and the streets are lined with inns and taverns with night lights on both sides.

Occasionally, players can be seen leisurely walking through the streets, making the whole town seem bustling. But there are also some players with sad faces and hurried looks.

The only difference between these players and frontline players is that they are not life-threatening, but they are also struggling to make ends meet.

"Asuna, how about going to that restaurant last time?"

Zhang Yu smiled and turned his head to look at Asuna, who was dressed in blue and white knight armor beside him.

"Well, I'd love to eat Yujun's food. But there are no good ingredients, okay then. ”

Asuna pinched her delicate chin for a moment, then looked up and nodded with a smile. Zhang Yu, through his powerful cooking skills, has already grabbed Asuna's stomach. To capture a person's heart, you must first grab her stomach.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yu and Asuna sat face to face in a restaurant. The table in front of him was filled with a variety of dishes, and Asuna had a gentle smile on her face.

"If you can eat Yujun's food every day, or you can eat with Yujun every day. Even if you stay in SAO all the time, it's pretty good, it's warmer than that cold home in reality. ”

Asuna took the cutlery and forked a small piece of food in her mouth. looked at Zhang Yu's handsome face and warm eyes, silently thinking about the girl's thoughts.

Suddenly, a group of players made a sound of armor and walked in through the lower doorway. Zhang Yu glanced at it casually, and then began to pay attention.

As soon as he saw one of the black-clothed swordsmen in the six-person squad, Zhang Yu's heart was relieved. Because the black-clad swordsman is still alive, just like the original trajectory.

Asuna on the side also noticed Zhang Yu's gaze, and then turned her head to take a look. I saw my former teammates standing in a team.

"Asuna, let's go over and say hi."

Zhang Yu wanted to go and say hello to Kirito and give him something by the way. This is a rare prop that he swiped after several maze mini-bosses, and Asuna looked at Zhang Yu in confusion. I don't know what the use of brushing this prop is, the function is too simple.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a long time."

Yes, they haven't seen it since the first boss fight. Because Kirito used to be a single brush, it was difficult for ordinary people to meet. And Zhang Yu and Asuna are almost a single brush, but a single brush of two people. And the boss strategy battle of everyone will not go. It's just that when they occasionally brush the maze, the two will go to fight when they find the boss room.

Although there are only two people, when Zhang Yu is the main output and Asuna assists in the output, the damage is also off the charts. The two of them didn't need any shield swordsmen at all to help defend against monsters or something. Because the best defense is offense, Zhang Yu already knows this.

As the two approached, Kirito was dressed as a black-haired swordsman in the team. The first to keenly turn his head to look at them, and when he saw that the person approaching the team was Zhang Yu Asuna, Kirito's eyes suddenly appeared with surprise.

How could they be here, this Kirito was very surprised.

Zhang Yuzhi didn't rush to greet Kirito, but looked at the rest of the team.

Among them, there was a shoulder-length black hair with flat bangs on her forehead, and the quiet girl caught his attention. I was playing with my teammates and didn't notice it at all.

Asuna saw that Zhang Yu was looking at other girls, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Yujun shouldn't be that kind of person, and besides, that girl is not as beautiful as me."

She comforted herself with this, and then stared at the girl with all her attention.

The two walked to the side of the Night Moon Black Cat Troupe.

Finally caught the attention of the rest of the Night Moon Black Cat Troupe, who looked at the two who came over.

The boy with short hair on his head is wearing a white coat with belts on the cuffs, waist and hem of the white coat. In addition, the neckline, cuffs, hem and hem of the coat are embroidered with blue cloud-like silk thread decorations.

The most eye-catching thing is the inky black eyes that are as bright and deep as jewels.

The other girl was dressed in the flowing maroon hair, with a small goose egg face and clear and bright hazel eyes that looked like two pools of clear water. Under the bridge of the white and straight nose, the cherry blossom-colored lips are delicate. The slender body is wrapped in a knight-style combat uniform based on white and blue, and she looks like an elegant and cute knight princess.

No matter how these two people look at it, they are both top players in the advanced strategy group. How did they come to them? Just when they were wondering.

Kirito blurted out directly, "Why are you here?" ”

"Huh! Kirito, do you know them? ”

"No wonder it came over."

"It turned out to be looking for Kirito."

…………

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure brought by being watched by such a top player was really not small.

"Kirito, then you can talk to them first. Let's go and book a table first, and if they're interested, we can invite them to come over. ”

The captain of the six, who was the leader, smiled at Kirito and said that he was going to order a meal first. smiled at Zhang Yu and the others in a friendly manner, and left with the rest of his teammates.

"Hehe, of course we're eating. But then again, Kirito, why do you always wear black?"

Zhang Yu had a teasing smile on his face, and he also looked Kirito up and down.

"Long time no see, Kirito-kun."

Asuna on the side also smiled politely and nodded.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've seen Asuna. Captain, you ......"

Kirito couldn't reply for a moment, so he had to look at his body. He can be seen wearing a dirty and old black leather coat, a shirt and trousers of the same color, and almost no metal armor.

"Yes, what does it matter. If I have money to buy clothes, I'd rather take them for something good...... Captain, you and Asuna are very famous. 【Jade of Flash】A guild of the strongest male swordsmen and the strongest female swordsmen in SAO. ”

Kirito was a little speechless, and cold sweat flowed down his face. immediately changed the topic, and looked at Zhang Yu with complicated eyes.

"Haha, that's all nonsense. There is no strongest, only stronger, and you also have a place among the strong. Don't take yourself too lightly. ”

Zhang Yu smiled modestly, thinking of Kirito's future second sword. Naturally, he didn't look down on Kirito.,Whether it's his game awareness.,Or skill proficiency, etc., he can be called a strong person.。 If there is no Zhang Yu, he can even be called the strongest in SAO, of course, now with Zhang Yu, he has nothing to do.

"Well, Captain, would you like to join us for the celebration?"

Kirito heard Zhang Yu praise himself like this, and his heart was also very comfortable. His eyes were also full of confidence, and he remembered the instructions of the team leader just now.

"Forget it. We used to put pressure on them, and we have a place for ourselves. Now, here you go. ”

Zhang Yu brought up the trading panel and sent a trade request to Kirito.

"What's that?"

Kirito looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously, and then saw the trade application that popped up out of thin air.

Asuna was full of emotion when she saw Zhang Yu give the rare props that had been brushed for a few days to Kirito.

"It turns out that Yu-kun is for Kirito-kun, even if it was a teammate at the beginning, he would do it for him. Yujun is really ...... It's great to meet Yujun. ”

Asuna turned her head and looked at Zhang Yu with happiness in her eyes, and had a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Just accept it. A small prop that can save your regrets, and the greeting is over. Let's go back to our seats first, so you can go back too. Don't die. Hehe. ”

Zhang Yu patted Kirito on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and then returned to his original position with Asuna.

Only Kirito was left looking at the props in front of him for a long time.
