"I mean, I spent a lot of effort to collect these ingredients, what should I do if I give them all to you?"
"You don't have any cooking skills anyway, and these NPC maids' cooking skills aren't that high either. It's a waste to leave them to you, so you might as well give them to me!"
"Then what should I eat?"
"Oh! Let's be straightforward! I'll just come here to cook in the future! Is this okay? "
"Huh? You'll cook in my place? "
"Then what should I do? You can't waste so many S-grade ingredients! Are you sure you can handle them perfectly!? "
"This … Okay …"
…
After some debate, Asuna finally realized that she actually took the initiative to cook in a boy's house!
Ugh … How did things turn out like this …
Asuna wanted to cry, but looking at the precious S-grade ingredients in Eight-cloud Ink's backpack, Asuna was extremely unwilling to give up just like that.
S-grade ingredients, even someone like her who deliberately learned cooking skills to eat better food has never eaten them before!
Looking at the half-smile on Eight-cloud Ink's face, Asuna's heart was already flipped eighteen times in a row.
What a disgrace …
The great Asuna, the vice leader of Knights of the Blood, actually fell to the point where she took the initiative to cook in a boy's house!
"What's wrong? Going back on your word? "
Yakumo teased as she looked at Asuna, whose expression was alternating between dark and pale.
"Who, who's going back on my word!" Asuna immediately retorted, "By the way, hurry up and trade those ingredients!"
"Okay, okay!"
Eight-cloud Ink looked at Asuna who was about to explode, and quickly traded some of the ingredients to her.
After receiving the ingredients traded by Eight-cloud Ink, Asuna's face became slightly better. She glared at Eight-cloud Ink and said: "Hurry up and take me to the kitchen!"
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
After bringing Asuna into the kitchen, Asuna took an apron hanging on the wall and tied it around her waist. Then, she looked around the kitchen and opened the cupboard. She took out a pair of gloves, tools, and ingredients and began to prepare the ingredients.
"SAO simplified the steps of cooking too much, so it lost some of the fun of cooking."
Asuna lightly tapped the pork chop with the kitchen knife in her hand, and the pork chop was cut into small pieces in a flash of blue light.
"But on the other hand, the dishes made with these ingredients are much more delicious than in reality!"
Eight-cloud Ink stood at the entrance of the kitchen with her arms crossed. She watched Asuna's back as she was busy cooking, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
This feeling … was very heartwarming …
Asuna seemed to have noticed something strange behind her. She turned around and glared at Eight-cloud Ink. "What are you doing there?"
Eight-cloud Ink didn't answer. Instead, she maintained the same smile as she leaned against the door frame and looked at the girl.
Asuna's face turned red from Yakumo's stare, so she turned around and continued to process the ingredients in front of her. However, even though she tried her best to ignore Yakumo's stare, she couldn't help but feel a burning sensation on her back, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Aiya! Can you go out first?! "
In the end, Asuna couldn't stand it anymore. She turned around and pushed Eight-cloud Ink out of the kitchen.
Eight-cloud Ink, who was pushed out by Asuna, smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'll go out first. Take your time."
After that, Eight-cloud Ink turned around and left the kitchen.
Eight-cloud Ink went back to the front hall and played with Haku under the cherry tree. After a while, she heard Asuna's voice from the backyard, "It's time to eat!"
As soon as Eight-cloud Ink stood up, three maids came into the front hall with plates of hot and fragrant dishes and placed them on the table.
Asuna, who was following behind them, had already taken off the apron that was tied around her waist. When she was about to eat, she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and asked Eight-cloud Ink, "Where do you change clothes?"
"Change clothes? Why do you need to change clothes? "
Asuna pointed to her red and white knight dress, then pointed to Eight-cloud Ink's Celestial Fox robe and said: "You can't just eat like this, right?"
"Huh? What's wrong with that? I've always been like this! "
Asuna covered her forehead with her hand and sighed, "Damn it … Forget it, go change into some casual clothes and prepare a place for me to change my clothes!"
"Okay, okay, take her to the guest room."
After instructing a maid to take Asuna to the guest room, Eight-cloud Ink returned to her bedroom.
Changing clothes in SAO was not as troublesome as changing clothes in real life. Players only needed to click on the system panel to change clothes. However, when changing clothes, there would be a second when the player's body would be exposed. That was why Asuna wanted to change clothes in her room.
After taking off her gorgeous Celestial Fox robe and changing into a casual shirt and pants, Eight-cloud Ink walked out of her bedroom and saw Asuna coming out of the opposite room.
Asuna, who had changed out of her red and white knight's armor, was wearing a beige halter top and a pair of shorts. She looked a lot more lively and cute.
Only now did people notice that Asuna was just a teenage girl.
"Let's go."
Eight-cloud Ink stepped forward and nodded to Asuna.
Asuna looked up at Eight-cloud Ink and was slightly stunned.
"I didn't expect you to look so manly after changing clothes!"
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly grinned: "Can I take that as a hint?"
Asuna glared at Eight-cloud Ink, blushed, and walked to the front hall without saying a word.
When they arrived at the front hall, Yakumo sat down across from Asuna. Yakumo looked at the delicious dishes on the table and praised, "I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking!"
"It's just that my skill level is a little high. If I really made it in real life, I definitely wouldn't be able to do this." Asuna smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm going to dig in!"
After saying this, Eight-cloud Ink picked up a small piece of fish with her chopsticks and tasted it.
"How is it?" Asuna asked with a hint of nervousness.
Eight-cloud Ink's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. She didn't say anything, but the way she moved her chopsticks made Asuna smile with satisfaction.
"Really, you're like a child, slow down a little!"
With a gentle smile on her face, Asuna also picked up her chopsticks.
"I'm going to dig in!"
The dinner passed in this warm atmosphere.
After dinner, Eight-cloud Ink ordered the maids to clean up the dishes and went to the lakeside with Asuna.
The lake looked quiet and mysterious under the moonlight.
"I didn't expect there to be such a life in SAO." Standing next to Eight-cloud Ink, Asuna combed her hair and sighed with emotion.
"You're just under too much pressure, carrying too much on your shoulders …"
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the reflection of the moon on the lake and said softly.
"Let go of those burdens in your heart and truly enjoy your days in SAO. You will find that this game is actually not that terrible. On the contrary, it will become an unforgettable memory in your life."
Asuna looked at the lake in a daze and didn't speak.
