After talking to Kirito, Natsume sat on the sofa with Sirika back to the room, and in order not to let others see the slight anxiety he was showing, he hammered his head with both hands and calmed himself down by taking a deep breath.

There was a conversation in the kitchen, and Asuna and Lizzebet were processing the ingredients they had brought with them, and it was not a task to make them in a much simplified SAO.

Calm down and look at the roof above, since it is only a one-story apartment, what is paved on it is not a plank, but cement.

There are no cracks or unevenness, and the architecture on this floor is very rigorous and perfect, but this is also because of the game, so it will be so perfect.

Systems don't make mistakes, they exist differently than humans, and as long as they don't break, they only do the right thing, not like humans are fickle.

Natsume knows that his biggest enemy is not the system, but the leader of the strongest guild in the SAO, Hizcliffe.

It's unclear why he's pushing himself to this point, but one thing is for sure, Heathcliff doesn't intend to let himself continue to mess around.

He may see himself as a threat and therefore not allow himself to escape from his sight, and he needs to be watched and guarded at all times to block the movement.

Although he wants to let out a big word, 'he will never be allowed to do whatever he wants', but now Natsume can't do that.

The strength is enough, but the problem is the relationship between the forces behind it.

The choice of a person and a guild against each other is undoubtedly stupid, and it is just an act of seeking death. If that had been done. Life will definitely turn out to be very bad for the rest of the year.

For this. If you want to not be hostile to other guilds and form an enemy relationship, there is only one way.

Interrupted by her thoughts, Asuna and the other two walked out with a lot of dishes that looked very delicious, in addition to the main chowder hot pot, there were also a lot of fish food and cold dishes, which were very rich in terms of variety.

Wait until everything is ready and everyone is seated at the table. and then they started to move together.

Next to her sat Celica, who was eating the fresh meat in the pot with her little mouth, looking like she was enjoying it.

Stretching out his chopsticks, Natsume, who wanted to pick up the vegetables, was stopped by Achill.

"Can you ask a question? Natsume, sir? ”

"Just call me Natsume."

I feel like I'm being called by an honorific like Akil, and my whole body is a little strange.

Didn't care about those details, now that he had received the other party's consent, Achill asked while holding the bowl

"Why did Natsume become a popular player? If it were you, you might be able to become strong even if you didn't. ”

"For a variety of reasons. I didn't kill to get stronger. ”

Just wanting revenge and letting those guys know the wrong thing they did.

It may be that the atmosphere is feeling a little lowered. Kirito on the other side put a piece of black-looking meat into Achill's bowl at once, and motioned for him to hurry up and eat it for me.

Smiling bitterly, Achill seemed to understand that it was inappropriate to ask such a question at this time, so he chose to remain silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was cooling, Lizzebet picked up a lot of meat and vegetables from the pot and put them in Natsume's bowl, and then she put on a relationship with the head of the house.

"Eat, eat, eat, it's a good day for you!"

"Why do you look like a hostess?"

"What, what a hostess! Anyway, you can give me more to eat! ”

"Yes, do you want to eat this? It tastes good. ”

It was freshly put in, about 5 medium rare beef, and when mixed with condiments, sauces, and chili peppers, it gave off a meaty aroma.

Silika, who had picked it up, put it to Natsume's mouth and said with some embarrassment

"Please, please open your mouth."

"No, I can do it myself."

"Hurry up, it's going to fall."

Natsume had no choice but to open his mouth and eat it in one bite, and the aroma of the gravy and other auxiliary condiments enriched the imaginary taste.

Seeing this, Lizzebert glared at Natsume, and she picked up a lot of dishes again and threw them into Natsume's bowl.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

"Don't clip so much!"

"Anyway, you need to add all kinds of places!"

"What kind of weird excuse is that?!"

Alright, alright, it was Asuna who brought Lizbet, who was standing up, to the side and calmed her down.

Kirito looked at Natsume with a look on his face, not knowing whether to worry or gloating.

Lunch time was quickly passed in the excitement, and everyone had something to do when they went back - it was strange.

Until the evening, there are still people who stay here and don't leave.

Natsume doesn't want to speak out against this situation, and it's okay to let them rest here, but—

"Oops? Ah? Isn't Celica still leaving? ”

"Lizzebet, is it really good not to go to the opening to work?"

"I've been working for a few days in a row, and I've been taking a break for a while."

"Sirika has Natsume's permission!"

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all!"

"You all be quiet."

"Shut up!" ”

is obviously the owner of the house, but was accidentally suppressed.

Even if you are used to the girls in the strategy game, when facing the girls in real life, Natsume realized how powerless she was.

But fortunately, the result of their entanglement ended peacefully, and the two chose a bedroom at random, and when asked, 'Who do you want to sleep with?', Natsume decisively chose the sofa sauce in the living room.

After all, I have to go out to run errands later, even if I want to sleep with them.

After staying in the living room late at night and changing clothes, Natsume saw the moon rings hanging high in the sky through the window.

Radiating a cold light, it was slowly moving in the air, and even if it reflected the sun's rays, it did not hesitate to show its brilliance.

Natsume feels that his current self doesn't even have the right to reflect the light of others.

If this time fails, Lizbet and Sirika will surely encounter quite trouble.

So.

Won't fail.

If Heathcliff wanted to be on his side, it was better to do as he wished.

Even if he doesn't interfere with the actions of SAO players, he will restrain players who want to upset the balance.

However, none of that matters.

As long as you can regain the 'peace' days, it is not impossible to join the guild.

Heading towards the exit, Natsume lowered his footsteps as low as he could, opened the door, and hurried towards Grumsam on the fifty-fifth floor. (To be continued......)
