With the help of "White Fox Gongzi" Eight-cloud Ink, the Clearers successfully defeated the 25th Floor Boss with zero casualties. The news swept across the entire SAO world like a whirlwind!
The streets and alleys of every Floor, as well as the taverns in towns and cities, were full of Players discussing this matter.
Although many people were angry at the military's previous behavior, it was undeniable that the military was indeed very strong. So when the news that the 25th Floor's boss was heavily damaged by the military spread out, all the ordinary players in SAO had a shadow cast over their hearts.
Now, not long after, the Clearers successfully cleared the 25th Floor's BOSS with zero casualties. How could the Clearers not be overjoyed?
Eight-cloud Ink's reputation once again reached a peak, and almost all Players saw Eight-cloud Ink as their hope to save them.
However, the people in the army had some complaints about this.

"Umm … Asun! Please wait! "
After finishing the Floor Boss, Eight-cloud Ink left the labyrinth area and was about to return to the town portal when he heard Asuna's voice behind him.
Eight-cloud Ink stopped and turned around to look at Asuna who was running towards him.
"What's the matter?"
Asuna ran to Eight-cloud Ink and said shyly with a red face, "Thank you for your help this time …"
"You're welcome, you've also put in a lot of effort, and this is not my credit alone. Besides, I'm the one who got most of the rewards this time, so there's no need to thank me. "
Asuna shook her head and looked at Eight-cloud Ink with a serious expression, "No, you don't have to be humble. We also know some information about the battle between the military and the Floor Boss, plus this time, we experienced it firsthand. If it weren't for your help, many of us would've died …"
After saying that, Asuna suddenly sent an invitation to Eight-cloud Ink, "Why don't you join the Clearers as well? I believe that with your help, we can speed up the Clearers a lot!"
Eight-cloud Ink stared at Asuna until she felt uncomfortable. After a while, she smiled and refused, "You don't have to join us. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me directly."
"I didn't add you as a friend, how am I supposed to find you …" Asuna mumbled.
Eight-cloud Ink couldn't help but laugh. He opened the system panel and sent a friend request to Asuna.
When Asuna saw the friend request pop up in front of her, she looked at Eight-cloud Ink in surprise.
Asuna had some interactions with Souta, so she naturally knew more or less about Yakumo from him. She knew that Yakumo rarely became friends with others.
However, Asuna was very happy that the famous "White Fox gongzi" took the initiative to send her a friend request, so she immediately accepted it.
Looking at Eight-cloud Ink's name in the friend list, Asuna suddenly blinked and said with a sly expression, "If you become my friend, wouldn't that expose your house?"
"Huh? How do you know that I bought a house? "Eight-cloud Ink was puzzled.
Asuna said matter-of-factly, "With your strength, buying a house is a piece of cake! And you almost never appear in the cities, so you must be building a house in the wild! "
Yakumo couldn't help but laugh. Asuna was really smart.
"Hah, we are friends, right? Aren't you going to invite me to your house? I'm very curious to see what kind of place the "White Fox gongzi" likes! "
Eight-cloud Ink was confused when he saw Asuna suddenly asking to be his guest.
A girl taking the initiative to be your guest …
He couldn't help but think the wrong way …
"What are you thinking!" Asuna seemed to have seen through Eight-cloud Ink's thoughts and was a bit embarrassed. "Don't think about it!"
"Okay okay okay! I won't think about it! " Eight-cloud Ink looked at Asuna who was acting like a little kitten and raised his hands in surrender. "Then, do you want to be my guest?"
Asuna was a bit embarrassed when she was invited by Eight-cloud Ink. She lowered her head and nodded.
"Don't think about it, I only agreed because you helped me a lot!"
She seems a bit arrogant …
Eight-cloud Ink chuckled in his mind and slowly walked away.
"Then, come with me!"
= = = I'm the divider for bringing girls home = = =
Aincrad 22nd Floor, Yakunju.
"So, so beautiful …"
Asuna covered her mouth with her hands and looked at the sparkling lake in shock. She couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful place in the game.
Eight-cloud Ink saw Asuna standing by the lake in a daze and smiled, "Okay okay, don't be in a daze. You can see the scenery whenever you want. Come on in!"
"Ah? Oh! Okay, okay! "
"Young master, welcome back!"
As soon as Asuna entered the courtyard, she was surprised by the three maids who greeted her.
"Are they … NPC maids?" Asuna pointed at the three maids and looked at Eight-cloud Ink in disbelief, "You … You actually hired maids …"
"Hey hey hey! What's with that expression … "Eight-cloud Ink was having a headache," You told me not to think about it before, but now you're the one thinking about it! I just thought that the house is too big and it would be inconvenient to have maids to clean it up, so I spent money to hire them! "
Asuna looked at Eight-cloud Ink with vigilance and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "You really didn't do anything strange to them?"
"What kind of strange things are you trying to do? Didn't you just say that I helped you a lot? Is this really the attitude of a real man? "
Asuna's face froze for a moment, then she laughed awkwardly, "Ahahahahaha …"
"Tsk …"
Eight-cloud Ink snorted and walked into the living room. As he walked, he said to one of the maids, "Go make two cups of black tea and prepare dinner."
"Yes, young master!" The maid bowed respectfully and went to the back of the courtyard to prepare the black tea.
"Hey hey! Wait! " Asuna suddenly stopped Eight-cloud Ink when she heard him say dinner. She ran up to him and asked curiously, "Are you cooking at home?"
"I'm not cooking, I'm just asking them to do it." Eight-cloud Ink pointed at the maid, "After all, there's still some distance between here and the town, and I can't go to the town restaurant every time, right? So I prepared a lot of ingredients and asked the maids to cook. "
Asuna's interest was piqued. She thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Well, as a reward for helping the Clearers this time, how about I prepare dinner for you?"
"Huh?"
"What are you talking about? Just tell me if you agree or not! "
Eight-cloud Ink didn't expect Asuna to have such a cute side. He suddenly remembered that Asuna learned cooking skills in the original game, and she even trained it to the highest level, although that was in the later part of the game.
"Okay!"
Eight-cloud Ink stopped the maid who was about to prepare dinner and sent a trade request to Asuna. After Asuna agreed, he didn't look at it carefully and just put some ingredients in the trade window.
"This is …!!" Asuna's eyes suddenly widened, "S-grade ingredients!!!"
Huh? S-grade ingredients?
Eight-cloud Ink was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he accidentally put an S-grade ingredient "Barone Fish" in the trade window.
"Oh, you mean this Barone Fish? I accidentally caught it one day when I was fishing out of boredom …"
Bored out of boredom? Accidentally caught it?
Asuna gritted her teeth when she saw Yakumo's expression. She was exasperated at her failure to live up to her expectations. She was hoping to get an S-grade ingredient even in her dreams!
"You actually wasted an S-grade ingredient like this! This is … unforgivable!! "
"Hey hey! I haven't used it yet, okay? Besides, I don't know any cooking skills, so what else can I do? How can you say I wasted it … "Eight-cloud Ink was dissatisfied.
Asuna quickly ran to Eight-cloud Ink's side and looked at his inventory.
"Wow! You actually have so many S-grade ingredients!! "
Asuna's scream echoed in the entire Yakumo Restaurant.
"No! You must let me cook them all!! "
