The next day, Mouton, who was still asleep, was woken up by a knock on the door, wearing gray pajamas, Mouton opened the door and saw that the original sleepiness was gone.

"Asuna, good morning......"

"Mouton-kun, you're surprised to see me coming, aren't you?"

"No, no, it's just that I didn't expect you to come so early, Asuna." Mouton quickly reacted, and after finding that Asuna's gaze was wrong, he leaned to the side: "Come in." ”

The two sat down on the couch in the living room, and Asuna stared at Mouton for a few seconds before asking, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" As he spoke, he opened the list of backpacks, and a basket of food appeared on the table.

When you lift the cloth that covers the basket, you are greeted by a brightly colored hamburger......

"This ......" Mouton was a little surprised, remembering that this thing was eaten by himself at the beginning, and a year later, Mouton had not seen this thing for a long time.

"It's not the kind you've eaten before, it's several times more delicious than the hamburger you've eaten before." Looking at Mouton with a surprised face, Asuna explained, while picking up a hamburger and handing it to Mouton: "Taste it and you'll know." ”

"You're welcome, then." Mouton took it, sniffed it, and then took a bite of it.

"Hmm...... Delicious. After Mouton took a bite, he solved the hamburger in his hand in three or two clicks, and the speed was so fast that even Asuna was a little stunned.

"And there's more." Asuna picked up another one, handed it to Mouton, and likewise took one of her own, and ate it.

After the simple breakfast, Mouton changed out of his gray pajamas and was about to speak, when his eyes suddenly lost focus: "Asuna, wait, I'll check the short message." ”

Seeing the sender in the mailbox, seeing that it was sent by Liz, Mouton clicked on it and saw that it was Liz who asked him to go over to get the sword, isn't it forged tomorrow? It was done ahead of schedule?

Turning off the mailbox, Mouton's eyes that had lost focus regained their vigor again, and he looked at Asuna with a smile: "Liz sent a message just now, saying that my weapon has been built, let me go over to get the sword, do you want to go with me?" ”

"Go ahead, maybe I can save you a little bit of money." Asuna pursed her lips and smiled.

"Wait for me to change my clothes." Mouton turned and entered the room, quickly changed into his clothes, strode out, and said, "Let's go." ”

……

48th floor, Lindath.

The figures of Mouton and Asuna appeared in Liz's weapons shop, looking at Liz standing in front of the counter and chatting with Kirito, Asuna's originally plain eyes actually glowed.

Even Mouton is a little tasty, why is this guy Kirito here? Could he ...... Thinking of this possibility, Mouton walked over with a smile, grabbed Kirito's neck, and shouted, "Kirito, didn't you expect you to be here again?" ”

Kirito was startled, and when he saw that it was Mouton and Asuna, Kirito breathed a sigh of relief and said a little speechlessly: "Can you two not be scary?" By the way, are you all here again? ”

"I'm more curious than this, why are you here here with Liz?" Asuna's face did not change, but Mouton, who was standing beside her, could clearly see the gossip in Asuna's eyes.

"Uh...... This ......"

Kirito glanced at Liz, and Lizzy blushed a little and said, "Kirito-kun I asked him to come here every day to repair equipment for free." ”

"Huh~~~" Under Asuna's gaze with a certain meaning, Liz and Kirito's faces were a little red.

Mouton coughed lightly and said, "Liz, what is the price of forging a weapon, I will pay you." ”

"Now, I'll give it to you." Liz glanced at Asuna complainingly, took out the long sword and handed it to Mouton, and said: "Those precious ores that Mouton-kun gave me, I have upgraded and forged your longsword, I believe it is no worse than your bloodthirsty, Mouton-kun, you can try it, if the price is concerned, for the sake of Asuna and your increased skill proficiency in those open stones, it's free." ”

"Thank you then." Mouton is also not pretentious, knowing how much of his precious ore can benefit a forger.

Taking the sharp long sword with a faint fluorescence forged by Liz, Mouton was also satisfied with the attribute in his heart, and swung it twice, and the weight was just right.

"Perfect for me, Liz, thank you."

"The sword hasn't been named yet, you can name it yourself." Liz said happily, being praised by Mouton, the first person in the SAO, Liz was naturally in a good mood.

"The name of the word...... Let's call it Moon......" After Mouton named the long sword, he received it in his backpack, raised his eyebrows, and Mouton said, "Then don't bother the two of you, Asuna, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Your guild headquarters."

"Huh?!"

Watching the two disappear, Kirito looked at Liz helplessly: "I didn't expect these two people to really come together, it's incredible." ”

"Not really...... Kirito nodded approvingly.

……

"Why do you want to see the president now......" Asuna asked in confusion as she walked down the sun-drenched road.

"When the time comes, you can naturally go and see him." Mouton smiled faintly.

Asuna opened her mouth, not knowing what to say next, and Mouton was also thinking about something, and along the way, there was an eerie silence between the two.

Fifty-fifth floor, Gransom, Headquarters of the Knights of the Blood Alliance.

Since the creation of the guild at the third layer, the reputation of the Blood Alliance Knights has become stronger day by day, and until now, there is almost no player in the entire SAO world who does not know the existence of the Blood Alliance Knights.

The bright red cross-like symbol can be seen everywhere in the huge white palace on the fifty-fifth floor, the Blood Alliance Knights have become a behemoth, as the strongest guild in SAO, although the members of the Blood Alliance Knights are small, they are all elites of the elite.

In addition, each guild player basically has their own residence, so this huge white majestic palace is inevitably a little deserted.

The figures of Mouton and Asuna appeared here, looking at the majestic hall in front of them, Asuna said, "I have already informed the president, he is inside, let's go in." ”

"Hmm."

In response, Mouton, led by Asuna, quickly entered the interior of the conference hall.

In the spacious conference hall, there is no superfluous decoration, simple but stylish, and Heathcliff's figure is sitting in front of the conference table in the center, and after seeing Mouton's figure, Heathcliff clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Welcome to the headquarters of my Blood Alliance Knights, I haven't seen you for a long time, how has Mouton-kun been doing this year?" ”

"Heathcliff...... Mouton was silent for two seconds before he spoke: "I haven't seen you for a long time, as for how you are doing, I think Heathcliff should know very well." ”

"Huh?" Frowning slightly, being called by Mouton's name like this, Heathcliff, who had always been in a high position, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, did not say much.

On the contrary, Asuna, who was standing next to Mouton, looked at her president in surprise, and then looked at Mouton, it turned out that the two had met before?

"Mouton-kun seems to be more impersonal than before......" Heathcliff clasped his hands together, dragged his chin, and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then I won't talk nonsense, Mouton-kun, in the name of the head of the Blood Alliance Knights, I personally invite you to join the Blood Alliance Knights, how about it?" ”

"What good can I do if I join the Knights of the Blood Alliance? Equip? Money, or weapons? Mouton looked at Heathcliff indifferently, "So I don't think that joining the Knights of the Blood Alliance will bring me any substantial benefits?" ”

Heathcliff closed his eyes, as Mouton said, he was not short of these things, and his Blood Pact Knights didn't seem to have anything to attract him...... Case......

Heathcliff opened his eyes, stared at Mouton, and said, "So be it...... I'm here to challenge you to a duel, Mouton-kun. ”

"Huh?"

"If Mouton-kun wins, I or the Knights of the Blood Alliance will complete anything for Mouton-kun, of course, only one, but if Mouton-kun loses...... Then you must join the Knights of the Blood Alliance. Heathcliff finished speaking, and looked at Mouton quietly.

Asuna's eyes widened on the side, and she never thought that the president, who was invincible in her eyes, would actually challenge Mouton to a duel.

"Oh?" Mouton raised his eyebrows, no matter what, Mouton didn't expect Heathcliff to actually challenge him to a duel, looking at Heathcliff playfully, Mouton smiled and said, "President Heathcliff, you are so confident that I will accept the challenge?" ”

"Why not?"

Mouton shrugged: "Since you said so, wouldn't it be very face-saving if I didn't agree?" In addition to this tempting condition, this duel, I accept, time, place, you choose! ”
