As if remembering something, Asuna suddenly flushed beautifully, staring at the red crystal in Mouton's hand, Asuna muttered in a low voice: "That doesn't mean that as long as this guy holds this crystal, no matter where I am, he can know it......"

"Asuna, did you just say something?"

"No, you're hallucinating."

"By the way, Asuna, do you have any friends or know a very advanced weapon smith? I'm going to forge a long sword. ”

"A forger? I just happened to have a friend, I'll send you her address, and her blacksmithing skill proficiency should be the highest in SAO. ”

"That's great." Mouton's eyes lit up, and he just asked casually, although Asuna had such a friend in the original book, but it was the original book, and the ghost knows if there is still this world, so Mouton asked, after all, the weapon he wants to forge requires the skill level of the forger to be very high.

"Well, today should be the most intense and fulfilling day, I experienced the feeling of death for the first time, it was terrifying...... I'm scared too...... I didn't expect to be afraid of death...... Mouton, you ...... Have you ever wondered if one day we really can't get out of this virtual world...... What will you do......" Asuna looked at the sunset on the horizon and couldn't help but be distracted.

"Can't get out...... I've never thought of it that way. ”

"Really......" Asuna turned her head and looked into Mouton's eyes, as if to determine something.

"It's certain to go out, at least in the past year, all our players have worked together to clear the 57th floor, which is a good proof."

"Is that so...... Mouton: Do you hate the world? Virtual worlds that have deprived many people of their lives. ”

"Asuna, do you hate the world?" This time, Mouton did not answer immediately, but asked Asuna.

"Nasty, one might even say disgust."

"Well......" Mouton glanced at Asuna and pointed to the scenery in the distance, "Actually, sometimes, it's good to try to accept the world." ”

Asuna looked at the scenery in the distance and suddenly laughed: "Accept this illusory world?" ”

"Unreal?" Mouton put down the teacup in his hand, suddenly reached out and grabbed Asuna's right hand, and asked, "Do you think it's illusory that I'm holding your hand now, even standing in front of you and chatting with you?" ”

"Mouton, you ......" was caught off guard by Mouton's little hand, Asuna only felt flustered, subconsciously wanted to struggle, but did not break free, and the harassment alarm from the system was ignored by Asuna.

"Do you think it's unreal?" Mouton let go of his grip, took a sip of tea, and asked.

"No...... Not illusory......" Asuna blushed shyly, bowed her head and responded glutinously, being grabbed by Mouton's little hand, Asuna actually felt a burst of warmth, and even the answer became a little stammering.

"Actually, it's not so much unreal, it's better to say that Asuna, your heart has been resisting this world, in fact, I've always felt that this world is okay."

"Okay?"

"Yes, yes. Although I sometimes feel irritable, it's good to find something to do. Mouton looked up at the towering pillar leading to the upper floor in the distance, and said slowly: "Whether it is the real world, or this virtual world that you resist, in fact, we are all experiencing a different life, and many things will be encountered in life, which may be as cruel as SAO, but we have to face it, right?" ”

"The world has such beautiful landscapes, Asuna, you love it, don't you?"

"I like it very much...... "Holding the teacup in her hand tightly, Asuna lowered her forehead, chestnut-colored hair, and her voice was a little hesitant.

"If you like it, it proves that you are slowly accepting the world, so you should learn to enjoy it." Mouton said with a smile.

"Try it, enjoy it......"

"Well, try to enjoy, to experience, to open your heart to see different parts of this world, I think Asuna, a beautiful and intelligent girl like you, will definitely become more beautiful."

"Become more beautiful?" The flush that had faded appeared on Asuna's face again, and she nodded, and Asuna smiled sweetly: "Thank you Mouton-kun for saying these words to me seriously, I will try." ”

"Mouton-kun?" Mouton raised his eyebrows, looked at Asuna with a smile, and quipped, "Asuna, you shouldn't like me, right?" ”

"Not really! I didn't expect Mouton-kun to have such a thick skin. Asuna's voice suddenly rose several pitches.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, I'll just say it, don't take it seriously." Mouton clutched his ears and was shocked by Asuna's sudden high voice.

"You guy......" Asuna gritted her teeth, glared at Mouton fiercely, let out a thick nasal voice and snorted heavily, looking down at Mouton's big feet, Asuna's eyes moved, the cunning light flashed, turned her head and pretended to look at the scenery in the distance, her right foot slowly moved over, and then, with all her strength, stepped on it!

"Ah!!h

The miserable cry resounded in the sky for a long time before it slowly dispersed, holding his right foot, Mouton looked at Asuna aggrievedly, "You make a move...... Oh no, don't you leave no stone unturned? ”

"This is the punishment you deserve."

"I ......" Mouton opened his mouth, and wanted to refute, but after seeing Asuna's vicious gaze, he consciously closed his mouth, how can he say it, only women and villains are difficult to raise, oh no, it should be adults who don't remember villains.

"Flutter." Looking at Mouton full of grievances with a smile, Asuna snorted proudly and continued to enjoy the scenery in the distance, but she didn't expect the scenery of this place to be more beautiful in the evening......

For the next few minutes, the two of them did not speak, enjoying indescribable silence, until Asuna received a message from Heathcliff, and Asuna spoke: "The president sent a message, saying that I should come over, Mouton-kun, then I will go first." ”

"That's good." Mouton didn't keep it, the two only met for a day, even if Mouton liked Asuna, but not to the point where he cared about everything, nodded, and sent Asuna out the door, Mouton turned around and walked back to the balcony, closed his eyes, and bathed in the evening sun.

In the conference hall of the Blood Alliance Knights, Heathcliff sat at the conference table, his hands clasped lightly, and looked at Asuna standing in front of him, "The matter of the smiling coffin should be solved, right?" ”

"Well, it should be said that it was a very easy solution, except for some players who were killed in the resistance, and all the rest were sent to prison." Because of the information of the previous crusade team, even if Asuna didn't deal with it herself, she still knew what happened.

"There is a black and red sword, this matter should be easily solved." Heathcliff nodded slightly, others didn't know the power of Mouton, and Heathcliff, a character with the identity of an administrator, naturally couldn't be clearer.

"There was a traitor in the guild today, I already know through the channel, Asuna, I apologize to you in the name of the head of the Blood Alliance Knights, I'm sorry for such a thing, I'm already checking the members of the guild, this kind of thing won't happen again." Heathcliff stood up and bowed slightly, showing Asuna his attitude.

"You're too polite, President." Asuna was a little flattered, in Asuna's heart, she respected Heathcliff as an adult, not only with extraordinary strength, but also quite kindly, of course, this was because Asuna didn't know that Heathcliff was Akihiko Kayaba, and she didn't know that the reason why Heathcliff was so strong was also because she used administrator privileges.

After apologizing, Heathcliff sat down slowly, looked at Asuna and asked, "Are you staying with that black red sword today?" ”

"Well, treat him to a meal." Asuna was a little embarrassed when she said it, after all, the kitchen utensils and ingredients were provided by Mouton, and she just cooked.

"Hmm......" Heathcliff pondered for a moment before he said, "Asuna, I want to meet the Black Red Sword, can you invite him for me?" ”

"Does the president want to see Mouton?" Without much thought, Asuna nodded, "I'll tell Mouton." ”

"Well, that's a bother for you."

Asuna waved her hand and smiled, "This is not a difficult matter, if there is nothing wrong, I will leave first?" ”

"Okay."

With a faint response, Asuna turned and walked out.

It wasn't until Asuna's figure completely disappeared that an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Heathcliffe's mouth: "Mouton-kun, soon, we will meet again......"
