Today was a good day.
Due to the structure, Aincrad couldn't see the sun except in the morning and evening, but during the day, there was still a full light source illuminating each floor, letting the sun shine on the coniferous forest, bringing a warm feeling in this season that was approaching winter.
At this time, Rozen and Yasna were walking on the wooden walkway connecting the cabin.
The road went downhill on the right side, extending into the deep forest, allowing Rozen and Yasna to walk slowly through the huge coniferous forest similar to fir trees.
"Rustle …"
The surrounding trees swayed under the majestic wind.
"Huala …"
A trickle of water flowed in the small river.
"Chirp chirp …"
Birds were singing in the forest.
"Gu!"
"Woo!"
Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies fluttered under such a beautiful scenery, making sweet sounds while constantly wandering around Rozen and Yasna.
All of these scenes were very pleasing to the eye and heart.
Yasna walked beside Rozen and suddenly said such a sentence.
"I'm starting to like it here."
Yasna said such words, her delicate face carried a sincere relaxation, looking around the eyes were even more brilliant.
Rozen was not surprised by this, but agreed.
"Me too."
This was the truth.
After living here for a whole week, Rozen also began to like this place.
This place was quiet and peaceful. Not only was the scenery beautiful, it could also relax people at all times. For people who didn't like an overly exciting life, this was simply the best place to go.
If there was such a place in the real world, then Rozen really hoped that he could buy a cabin there, live in it, concentrate on magic every day, play some games when tired, and sometimes come out for a walk. Life would not be too happy.
Rozen also believed that if Matthew knew about this place, she would definitely like it here and wouldn't mind living here.
Yasna must have the same feeling, right?
That was what Rozen was thinking.
Unfortunately, Rozen didn't know that apart from the environment, the people accompanying her were also one of the main reasons why Yasna liked this place.
Yasna didn't say this out loud. She just said it regretfully.
"Why didn't I realize that this place was so good when I first came here?"
A year and a half ago, although Asuna hadn't joined the Clearers yet and didn't clear this floor with Rozen and the others, she still leveled up in the Training Area and the Labyrinth Area when she was at the frontline of the Clearers.
At that time, Yasna didn't have any attachment to the environment here. After this floor was cleared, she headed to the 23rd floor and continued to absorb the most efficient EXP.
Returning to this floor after a year and a half, Yasna did not expect that her state of mind would undergo such a huge change.
Missing out on such a wonderful thing made Yasna feel extremely regretful.
But …
"At that time, you only had the Clearers in your eyes. Even if you really think that this place is beautiful, you definitely wouldn't stay here for long, right?"
Rozen exposed this point, and Yasna nodded in agreement.
Now that things had come to this point, Yasna felt that it was a rather unbearable experience.
At that time, she didn't understand the meaning of life. She just kept sacrificing the present and calculating the future she should have. She felt that walking on the right path was the most important thing, and everything else was not important at all. In the end, she resolutely and blindly walked on this pitiful path, not realizing that she had lost a lot of important things.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that her obsession with the past and the future was simply hopeless.
Thinking about the past, she would only hide in a hotel room and have nightmares every day, trembling with fear and despair.
Thinking about the future, she would crazily march towards the goal of the game, and there was no meaning in living at all.
In this world, only by enjoying the present like this could one truly live.
And the person who taught Yasna this point was the lazy man who was still yawning beside her.
He was the one who told her to stop looking at the floors above and look at the rainbow in front of her.
He was the one who told her to keep smiling, so that she would be beautiful.
He was the one who stopped her from having nightmares.
He was the one who stopped her from pursuing a goal and noticed many beautiful things.
Thinking of this, Yasna couldn't help but extend her hand to Rozen's direction.
Just as Yasna's hand was about to touch Rozen's hand and hold it tightly …
"Huh?"
Rozen stopped abruptly and let out a surprised cry.
"Ah!"
Only then did Yasna realize what she was about to do. She quickly retracted her hand and jumped away as if she was electrocuted.
This made Rozen turn around in surprise and look at Yasna.
"What's wrong?"
Rozen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"No … Nothing!"
Yasna quickly shook her head. Although her pretty face was already red, she still tried to change the topic.
"What … What's wrong? Why are you making a fuss out of nothing? "
Yasna raised her voice and questioned as if she was overreacting.
This made Rozen feel inexplicable, but he didn't pursue the matter further.
"Look there."
Rozen pointed to the depths of the forest ahead.
"There?"
Yasna immediately looked in the direction Rozen pointed.
What entered her sight was a dense forest.
Sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees, looking as if rays of light were falling from the sky, it was beautiful.
But this was not what Rozen wanted Yasna to see.
Asuna concentrated and corrected her vision. She began to focus and see the scene in the depths of the cave.
In the next second, Yasna opened her eyes wide.
She saw that in the deepest part of the forest, in the open space surrounded by rays of light, there was a figure standing there silently.
It was a young girl. She only wore a white dress, exposing her fair and slender thighs. She didn't wear shoes and stood on the ground barefooted. Her back was facing this side, making it difficult to see her face clearly.
Yasna could only see that she had a head of long black and beautiful straight hair. Together with the hem of her dress, it fluttered in the breeze.
"That is …?"
Yasna was extremely surprised.
There was no other way.
In the forest that no one cared about, there was actually a young girl appearing silently like this. It was really surprising.
Rozen also stared in that direction and said in a low voice.
"Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
This was Rozen's thought.
And the moment this thought appeared in his mind …
"Bang …"
With a slight landing sound, the girl fell to the ground without any warning and could no longer move.
"What …!?"
Rozen was taken aback.
"Not good!"
Yasna exclaimed.
