Chapter 22: S-Class Ingredients!
(I have to vote when I read a book...... Poor QAQ with few referral votes)
Two months have passed since the day of the duel between Mouton and Heathcliff, and the overall strategy progress of SAO has reached the seventy-fourth floor, Kamdiet.
And the players who are at the forefront of the strategy group can hear the news of someone dying from time to time, and there is no doubt that with the increasing levels in the back, the difficulty of the entire Aingrant is already several times more difficult than when he was still in the fifties a few months ago.
At this time, Mouton's figure appeared in the forest not far from the labyrinth area on the seventy-fourth floor, and the reason why he appeared here was just to find the same cherished ingredient - S-class chowder rabbit!
S-level ingredients, when Mouton knew that after clearing the seventy-fourth floor, he had already appeared here, and even Mouton, who had eaten a lot of cherished ingredients, couldn't help but beat his heart faster when he thought of S-level cherished ingredients.
I guess there's only one such thing in the entire SAO, right?
After walking in the forest for at least about an hour, Mouton's moving footsteps suddenly stopped, looking at the white rabbit that appeared in his eyes, and the name displayed above, Mouton's hands showed bloodthirstiness, and he checked bloodthirsty, Mouton's eyes tightened, and his arm threw bloodthirsty out with a loud 'swish', and the bloodthirsty shooting out cut through the sky, and the bloodthirsty sword had been inserted into the body of the chowder rabbit in the distance without reacting at all!
"It worked!" Seeing this, Mouton ran over in three or two steps, and after picking up the chowder rabbit, he grinned, not in vain that he had been wandering around the forest for so long!
"Asuna bought a house today, and I'm worried about not being able to find anything to celebrate...... Then it's up to you. Mouton saw the chowder rabbit in his backpack, put away his bloodthirstiness, and headed straight for Selmubrook on the 61st floor.
Asuna spent a lot of money on a house located in the seaside city of Selmubrook.
The overall size of Selmubrook is not large, but the whole is made of white granite, which complements the green meadow environment, which is why Asuna did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a house here.
According to the coordinates sent to him by Asuna, Mouton's figure appeared in front of the door of Asuna's house.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Reaching out and knocking on the door gently, Asuna dressed at home appeared in front of him, and the fresh short skirt made Mouton's eyes light up.
In SAO, it was the first time that Mouton had seen Asuna dressed in anything other than the uniform of the Knights of the Blood Alliance.
When she saw Mouton looking at her in front of her, Asuna withdrew slightly shyly and said, "Come in." ”
"Well...... Asuna, it looks good in this kind of dress once in a while. ”
Mouton complimented and walked into Asuna's house.
Although Asuna's home is not as large as Mouton's overall home, the money spent is not inferior to Mouton's mountain villa.
"Then again, I really didn't expect you to buy a house in this place......" Sitting in a chair by the window, through which Mouton could clearly see the sea where seagulls glided in the distance.
"I spent almost all of my savings to buy this house...... Asuna said as she sat down on the couch next to her, straightening her chestnut-colored hair.
Mouton smiled, opened his backpack and swiped in front of Asuna's eyes, under Asuna's unknown gaze, Mouton pointed to the thing on it and said, "Take a closer look." ”
"What...... ......" Asuna looked at the mysterious Mouton, looked at it, and suddenly her eyes widened, and even her tone became a little stammering: "This...... This...... S-grade ingredients, chowder rabbit?! ”
"That's right, I hit it in the forest on the 74th floor, but I guess there is only one in the entire SAO world." After Mouton finished speaking, he got up and walked to the dining table to take out the S-class chowder rabbit, and said, "Just take it as a congratulations to Asuna for buying a house." ”
"Really?" Asuna was pleasantly surprised.
"I can't lie......"
"I'm going to take care of the ingredients."
Asuna ran to Mouton and retrieved the chowder rabbit before entering the kitchen.
As for Mouton, in the past two months, he has fully seen Asuna's foodie attributes, and the countless ingredients that were originally stored in his backpack were almost eaten up by Asuna, who had to come to eat one meal a day on average.
And at this moment, after seeing such S-level ingredients as Chowder Rabbit, how could Asuna, who had become a snack merchant, control her appetite, so when she got Mouton's permission, Asuna quickly rushed into the kitchen with Chowder Rabbit!
Mouton changed into gray short sleeves, walked into the kitchen, and looked at Asuna, who was concentrating on handling the ingredients, Mouton said funny: "It's all said, Asuna, you have a foodie attribute......"
"What, this is an S-class chowder rabbit, S-class! If you were someone else, I'm afraid you'd be excited, okay! ”
Asuna turned her head and glanced at Mouton and asked, "How are you going to eat this ingredient?" Or make soup......"
"That's a good idea." Mouton snapped his fingers, the S-grade ingredients are definitely used to make soup, and it is definitely the best.
"Then I'm preparing a few dishes, so I'll treat them as lunch, and it's almost noon anyway." Asuna nodded approvingly and got busy.
Mouton leaned against the door and watched Asuna from the process of processing the ingredients until she finished her meal.
Bringing all the dishes to the table, Mouton smelled the aroma of the hot chowder rabbit, and his appetite was stronger than ever.
Asuna, not much better, the two of them quickly finished eating and drinking hot tea.
Asuna said with a satisfied expression, "It's the first time I've eaten S-grade ingredients...... It tastes amazing...... It's like I'm trying to live until now, as if it's just for this moment......"
"But that's not all, try to live until now, in addition to eating this delicious food, you have to go out." Mouton looked at the blue sky outside and said relaxedly.
"Yes......" Asuna's thoughts suddenly became complicated.
Mouton put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and rubbed Asuna's little head, and said, "I see you seem to be thinking nonsense again." ”
"Where...... How can there be ......" Feeling the warmth of Mouton's palm into her heart, Asuna said: "Since entering the 70th floor, the strategy has become more and more difficult, and even solo players like Kirito have begun to team up with Klein and them...... Mouton, do you want to go down alone......"
Mouton was stunned, let go of his hand and sat down next to Asuna, and said, "Asuna, are you suggesting that I form a team?" ”
"Hmm...... That's it...... The monster is getting stronger and stronger, maybe you guys will be removed from my friends list at some point......" Feeling Asuna's gentle gaze, Mouton's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, it seemed that Asuna was talking to herself in such a gentle tone for the first time......
Looking at Mouton, who didn't speak, Asuna put down the teacup in her hand and proposed, "Or, Mouton-kun, let's team up......"
"Huh?" Mouton looked at Asuna in surprise and asked, "You teamed up with me, what about the members of your guild?" ”
"Naturally, they can form a team...... Besides, Mouton-kun's strength is so strong, even if he is the president, he will definitely agree. Asuna pursed her lips.
Mouton lowered his head and fell silent, most of the reason why he didn't form a team was because he didn't like his teammates dragging him, and now, after hearing Asuna propose to team up with him, Mouton didn't know whether to agree or not.
Although he has already formed a team with Asuna twice, and Asuna's strength, Mouton has also seen it with his own eyes, and it is powerful, so there is no doubt about it......
"Mouton-kun, you can't refuse if you want to this time." Asuna shook her finger, quickly clicked on her friends list, and sent the party application to Mouton.
Looking at the invitation message that appeared in front of him, Mouton suddenly smiled: "Sometimes it's not a good thing to think too much, so I'll take care of it in the future, Asuna." ”
"No problem." Seeing Mouton accept her invitation, Asuna puffed up her chest with joy.
"So are you going to level up, or do you want to rest?"
"I just finished eating, of course, I went to level up after resting for a while." Asuna waved her arm and said.
"But didn't Mouton-kun really think about joining any guild? Listening to Keita of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group, you have a very good relationship with them, haven't you ever thought of joining? ”
"I'm a solo player, and it's not easy to join a guild or anything, but, Asuna, do you want me to join a guild after you let me accept your team! I won't say yes to anything this time! ”
"Flutter." Asuna covered her small mouth and shrugged her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Don't be so sensitive, I'm just asking, then again, I've never seen other girls around Mouton-kun, right...... Mouton-kun doesn't have a relationship with a very good girl? ”
