Chapter 5: Solo Traveler?

(After reading the update, remember to vote for the recommendation...... Referral votes there are a dismal zero ah QAQ. )

After a few seconds of silence, Mouton glanced at the cloaked player in the distance without a trace, that is, the heroine in SAO - Asuna! Her real name is Asuna Yuuki.

Mouton turned his head, looked at Tilberu, and nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

"Thank you so much! Sir, I thank you on behalf of the players in SAO! Tilberu was overjoyed, and looked at Mouton who was sitting back on the stairs, and then at the King of Teeth, who glanced at everyone, only to feel that he had lost face, and hurried away.

"Okay, without further ado, we'll start the boss strategy meeting now, but before that, please form a team of 6 people."

After listening to Tilberu's words, Mouton, who had been paying attention to Kirito and Asuna, clearly saw that Kirito's face had changed.

"Because the defending boss is not something that can be fought alone, it will be more effective if you form a team to fight."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads, because Tilberu's words were not wrong.

Soon, the players who knew and didn't know each other quickly formed a team, and in the end, only Mouton, Asuna, and Kirito remained.

Kirito looked left and right, and when he saw Asuna in a cloak sitting not far away, he quickly moved over: "You...... Isn't there a group of people too? ”

Asuna, who was hidden in the cloak, bowed her head slightly: "It's not that no one is ...... The people in the team looked like they were all partners, so I didn't get involved......"

"Solo-traveler?" Kirito nodded knowingly, "Then how about teaming up with me?" ”

Asuna's little head moved, and Kirito's words were somewhat unexpected by Asuna.

"Because didn't you just say that...... If you're alone, you can't attack the boss, so let's form a temporary team, how about it? Kirito asked.

After listening to Kirito, Asuna nodded slightly, Kirito immediately sent the team application over, Asuna reached out and clicked the accept button, and looked at Mouton, who was still sitting there alone not far away, and did not speak.

Kirito also noticed Asuna's gaze, looked at Mouton, who was sitting not far away, walked over in three or two steps, and said softly, "Why don't you ...... You're going to form a makeshift team with us, too, right? ”

"Huh?" Mouton didn't seem to expect Kirito to come and invite him personally, thinking of Asuna in the distance, Mouton thought for a few seconds before he nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with." After Kirito sent out the application for teaming, he watched Mouton enter the team, glanced at Mouton's ID and sat back in his original position.

As a member of the same team, Asuna was very curious about the slightly more famous closed beta player of the Black Red Sword, and Asuna pulled her cloak, and no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

In the past month, Mouton, who has been leveling up in the wild, has met Asuna several times, but each time the two have just passed by......

After a few more minutes, the boss strategy meeting ended, Asuna left the semi-circular field first, and Mouton also chose a direction to leave.

Kirito looked at the two of them who didn't look like temporary teammates at all, and his expression was a little stunned: "These two people are really ......" shook his head, and Kirito also got up and left.

……

As night falls, a party is going on somewhere in town. The people of the party are naturally the players who participated in today's boss strategy meeting.

Mouton, who was training alone, didn't have a familiar partner, so he naturally sat alone, and looked at the players who were talking and laughing, Mouton's gaze slowly shifted to the front, where Asuna was sitting alone next to the ladder eating dry food that was hard to swallow.

Mouton walked over slowly, sat down next to him, looked at the food in Asuna's hand, and immediately remembered one thing, in SAO, the current life class level of these players is not as high as in the later stage, so it is impossible to make that delicious hamburger or other food.

After thinking about it, Mouton took out the hamburger with ham, bacon and vegetables from his backpack, and it looked very tempting, but of course, it certainly tasted good.

The reason why Mouton has hamburgers is obtained by completing a quest with a Chef NPC in the town, and with the increased friendship with the Chef NPC later, Mouton can buy delicious hamburgers and other equally delicious foods as long as he pays enough Hammer Coins.

"It's delicious, but I want to ...... Sometimes it's good to change the taste? Mouton handed the tempting hamburger to Asuna.

Asuna in the cloak looked at the hamburger handed by Mouton in a daze, and only felt that she was dazzled? Is there such a food in Sao?

Seeing that Asuna didn't move, Mouton couldn't help but smile: "We're temporary teammates now, let's try it, it's okay." ”

"Really...... Can it really be? Asuna's little head, which had been hanging down, seemed to be raised a little, and Mouton could clearly see that Asuna's eyes were on her hamburger.

"I still have a lot of them...... Now, try it and see how it tastes. Mouton shook, and Asuna paused for two seconds before slowly reaching out to take the hamburger from Mouton.

"Can I sit here?" Mouton asked, pointing to the wide area beside Asuna.

Seeing that Asuna didn't speak, Mouton consciously sat next to him, distanced himself from Asuna a little, took out a hamburger from his backpack, and ate it slowly.

Asuna looked down at the brightly colored hamburger in her hand, which only looked like it could make her drool, and listened to the sound of Mouton biting things next to her, so she brought the hamburger to her mouth immediately, just smelled it, Asuna felt that her saliva secretion was unusually fast, and then under Mouton's stunned gaze, Asuna ate the hamburger directly in four or five bites......

Since the day she couldn't log out of the death game SAO, Asuna's daily food has basically been hard-to-swallow dry food, and it can be said that Asuna has hardly tasted something as delicious as a hamburger.

"Thank you...... Thank you......" A faint voice like a mosquito came from Asuna's mouth, and if it weren't for Mouton's good hearing, he would almost have thought he had heard it wrong.

Mouton smiled slightly: "Do you still need one?" ”

"No need...... Asuna raised her head slightly, suddenly felt a little sour nose, and pulled her cloak, trying to let the cloak cover herself, as if this would bring her enough security.

Since SAO couldn't quit and became a death game, in the first few days in SAO, Asuna's whole person was like a walking corpse, muddy, and almost didn't let Asuna collapse, and later after killing several monsters in the game to vent her emotions, Asuna cheered up a little.

Unlike other female players in the game, Asuna is more of a grit and perseverance than them to survive for the rest of the time.

Rather than hiding in the initial town and gradually decaying like a puppet, it is better to keep yourself until the last moment.

With this idea, in the following time, Asuna repeated one thing almost every day - leveling up and playing equipment, and it wasn't until today, after the boss strategy meeting, that Asuna saw the hope of leaving here, which is why Asuna accepted Kirito's request to form a team.

Hearing Asuna's refusal, Mouton was not reluctant, only smiled, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to solidify, and for a long time, Asuna, who had been in silence, suddenly asked softly, "You...... Are you a solo traveler too? ”

"Hmm...... I've been playing alone since I entered SAO and I didn't team up for the first time until today......"

"I heard that you were looking for Tilberu earlier to find the coordinates of the boss...... Are you really planning to kill the boss alone? Asuna asked softly, looking down at the floor.

"Yes, the reason why I say this is because of my current level and equipment, which makes me think, I have that opportunity, if I stay here in a mess, how long will I have to wait before I can get out? Didn't that Kayaba Akihiko say that as long as we can clear the 100th floor, we will be able to quit the game and leave this place......"

"No matter how good your equipment and level are, I'm afraid it will be difficult for one person to kill the defending boss...... Aren't you afraid of death? ”

"Afraid of death? Of course I'm afraid...... But if we don't get out of here soon, have you ever wondered what will happen to our real-life bodies? Mouton's words shocked Asuna's delicate body.

Glancing at Asuna's state, Mouton sighed slightly: "So...... Good night and see you tomorrow. ”

Mouton stood up, waved at Asuna, and turned away.

Looking at the figure of Mouton leaving in a daze, Asuna slowly stood up, looking at the place where Mouton disappeared and was slightly distracted......
