Chapter Twenty-Eight: Happy to Be a Father?
The next day.
When meeting Asukina in SAO, the scene is very awkward.
There is a feeling of going out to steal but being caught by his wife.
Especially when the girl on the other side squinted her eyes and seemed to be smiling. Even if Ye Ming felt that he would not be surprised by anything, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed at this time.
"Asuna, long time no see." Kiriko didn't seem to notice this atmosphere, and reached out to Asukina to say hello.
"Long time no see." The girl responded.
For Kiriko, the girl doesn't feel anything.
After all, the two are the heroes and heroines in the original book...... If there was no Ye Ming, the two would really be attracted to each other and embark on the road of lilies.
Then her gaze turned to Ye Ming and snorted: "What a qualified fiancΓ©." β
The "......" boy looked up at the sky and pretended to look around at the scenery.
At this point, just don't say anything.
Fortunately, the embarrassment was only for a short time.
Soon the man with glasses came to help him out.
Of course, the way out of the siege doesn't seem to be so gratifying.
Because......
"Zhang Ye is dead?" Ye Ming's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the glasses man in front of him.
"Yes, just last night, inside the 'town,' his body was found."
The man with glasses had a complicated expression, some annoyed, some confused, and some afraid.
Ye Ming noticed the word 'town' that he emphatically stated.
In SAO, towns have a protection mechanism, which can be said to be an absolutely safe environment for players.
But that's just for the players.
Reincarnators are not players.
If there is anything that can break through the limitations of the SAO system and kill people in the city, it is undoubtedly ...... There are only reincarnators.
Thinking of this, Ye Ming quietly glanced at the man with glasses.
This person......
He just wondered yesterday if it could be a joint case between the two, and today one of them died.
How does this look so much like murder?
But...... Is it really necessary?
This kind of action will make people shift their suspicious eyes to themselves.
"Don't jump to conclusions that early." After pondering for a long time, Ye Ming opened his mouth to comfort.
"It doesn't have to be done by the reincarnation, don't forget that there are also incidents of town killings in the original book, and using the bugs in the system, this kind of thing can also be done."
"Perhaps......"
The man with glasses looked a little sluggish.
To be honest, the relationship between him and Zhang Ye is still very good, and the two of them have almost stayed together during their time in SAO, which can be said to be very good friends.
Although Zhang Ye was a little timid when he first raided the strategy...... But everyone has flaws, and not everyone can be as perfect as a saint.
Ye Ming shrugged, he didn't know what to say.
In fact, it is normal for reincarnators to live and die, and there is no need to worry about anything at all.
It's none of his business, hang high, Ye Ming is such a mentality at the moment.
After seeing off the man with glasses, he made his way to the fifteenth floor.
There is a guild with the most well-informed SAO here, and they are responsible for exploring all kinds of gossip news, from the boss strategy experience of each layer to the top ten beauties of SAO, they are everywhere.
Ye Ming found their person in charge and asked a little about the news of the last reincarnation among them.
Man with a smiling mask...... This characteristic should be recognizable.
"That person...... person in charge scratched his face with some trouble: "It's a very withdrawn guy, it seems that he has never teamed up with others, and he has always been alone." β
"So there's very little information, right?"
"Hmm...... Aside from the occasional sight of her while leveling up, there's not much definite news to offer. β
"What about the grapevine?"
"Hmm...... It is said that under the mask is an extremely beautiful beauty~"
ββ¦β¦β
Well, it's the same as not saying.
Ye Ming originally wanted to ask for the other party's information, so that he could make some targets in the future.
But now it seems......
Groaning through the forest, thinking and walking, Ye Ming prepared to go to the teleportation array in front of him and return to the first floor.
Around the corner, a figure crashed into his arms.
This is the first time......
Feel the softness in your arms, and the long silky black hair in sight.
Well, girls again...... Super luck seems to be unusually strong in terms of peach blossom luck.
With a sigh of regret in his heart, Ye Ming carried the other party's shirt with one hand, and brought this very petite girl to the state of being parallel to his gaze.
Looking at each other with dead fish eyes, Ye Ming was trying to dress up as a monster and directly scare the little girl away.
But after his eyes came into contact with that pitiful face, his heart was violently touched.
What a cute little girl.
"You ......"
Changing his plan temporarily, his movements became much softer: "Whose child is lost?" β
On the outside, she looks like a little girl who is only 8 or 9 years old, and she doesn't look like she is playing games by herself.
Unexpected sympathy flooded for a moment.
Ye Ming squatted down, helped the little girl tidy up the somewhat scattered hair, showed her a gentle smile, and asked.
The powerful charm makes the girl who was originally a little strange and scared instantly return to normal.
With an intoxicating smile of innocence on her face, the little girl opened her hands and hugged the boy.
"Leaf ...... ......"
When these two words were spoken, the young man was stunned.
He admitted...... He's famous among players, but it's not so much that even children know his name, right?
"Daddy~~"
"Huh?"
If the first two words made him stunned, then the last two words, he fell directly to the ground.
What the heck!
"Ye Ming's father~" The little girl called out again, her voice was sweet, much smoother than just now.
So you can be sure...... It wasn't an auditory hallucination.
"Hehehe~" A cold laugh came from behind him.
Asukina and Kiriko, who had just come out of the teleportation array, were both holding their chests and sneering there.
Although it is two girls with different personalities.
But at this moment, he unexpectedly showed the same expression.
That's-
Scum, you go and die a hundred times.
Anyway, why is it so coincidental, did you come here at this time with your watch?
"Even my daughter is so old, my dear." Asujina looks good when she laughs.
But Ye Ming always felt a sense of foreboding coming from the depths of his heart.
And Kiriko didn't say anything, where was he already sharpening his knife...... Hey, what do you want to do!
"It was a misunderstanding." The boy wiped his sweat and hurriedly helped Kiriko put it away before she was about to sharpen the blade.
The hatchet knife is too dangerous, don't take it out casually.
"Misunderstanding? Hmph, everyone has found it, and you still don't want to admit it. β
"How is it possible, if this is really my lovely daughter, I will not refuse to admit it to death." Ye Ming first assured his discipline and the degree of scum, and then opened his mouth to explain.
But no matter how he explained, the little girl's subsequent 'Daddy' directly smashed all these things.
Ye Ming looked at the girl in his arms with a smile.
I say...... You're really here to cheat your father! A veritable pit daddy!
"Asuna Mother ~ Kiriko Mother ~"
When Ye Ming was about to be helpless, the little girl's words changed, and she opened her mouth to the two girls over there.
Suddenly, the two girls who were still sharpening their knives a moment ago turned red in an instant.
"What, what, what...... All of a sudden......"
The two women stammered and couldn't speak, and the scene reversed instantly.
Ye Ming's eyes lit up, and he turned his head and gave the little girl a thumbs up.
Take back the previous words, you are not here to cheat your father, you are a good boy...... Well.
