"Ah … I'm so full …"
The beautiful sunset glow dyed half of the sky red. Yakumo, who was strolling by the lake with Asuna, had a happy smile on her face as she rubbed her belly.
Asuna looked at Eight-cloud Ink's satisfied face and couldn't help but laugh. She patted his arm and said: "Really, can't you be more considerate? I have to cook for so many people!"
After learning from Asuna that there was drum oil, Mr. Xitian used all the fish he caught today as an exchange, hoping that Asuna could use the drum oil to make a delicious fish feast.
Looking at Mr. Xitian's expectant eyes, Asuna, who couldn't bear to refuse, finally agreed to borrow the kitchen in the village where Mr. Xitian and another middle-aged man lived. However, because Mr. Xitian made a big fuss during the meal because the food was too delicious, it attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
Asuna had no choice but to return to the kitchen under everyone's expectant eyes.
Fortunately, this time there was a middle-aged woman to help, and the cooking process in SAO was extremely simple, so Asuna was able to make a very sumptuous dinner in a short time.
During the dinner, everyone was happy that Eight-cloud Ink found such a good girl.
Although both Eight-cloud Ink and Asuna tried their best to deny the relationship between them, the uncles and aunties always shook their heads with a smile on their faces. In the end, Asuna was so angry that she pinched Eight-cloud Ink's waist with her slender fingers under the table and twisted it fiercely.
Although SAO blocked the player's sense of pain, Eight-cloud Ink still pretended to be in pain to let Asuna vent her anger.
Thinking of all the things that happened during the dinner, Asuna looked at Eight-cloud Ink softly.
"Huh? What's wrong? "
Noticing Asuna's gaze, Eight-cloud Ink turned his head and showed a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing!" Asuna blushed and turned her head away, showing Eight-cloud Ink the back of her head.
Seeing Asuna's reaction, Eight-cloud Ink, who guessed what was going on, chuckled and asked: "By the way, how many days did you take off this time?"
"Just one day, starting from tomorrow, I have to lead the team again."
Asuna showed a troubled look.
After today's trip, Asuna, who learned for the first time that there were people living like this in SAO, suddenly didn't want to go back to the frontline.
She looked at Eight-cloud Ink and suddenly said: "Yakumo, can you join the Clearers too?"
"Huh?"
Eight-cloud Ink raised his eyebrows, this was not the first time Asuna made such a request.
"No, I'm used to being alone. Didn't I tell you before that if you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly? "
Although Asuna expected Eight-cloud Ink's request, she still couldn't help but feel disappointed when she heard it.
Later, Yakumo's's's's, Yakumo's's, Yakumo, Yakumo's's, Yakumo's...
= = = = = I ''s's's
After Asuna and Eight-cloud Ink had a wonderful day together, Asuna, who was famous throughout SAO, became a frequent guest of Yakumo.
Although every time she came here, her reason was "I don't want Yakumo to waste those precious ingredients".
Later, when Black Cats' Souta and the others came here to play, they happened to meet Asuna, and suddenly, Asuna and Silica began to dislike each other.
Although she still listened to Asuna's commands during the raid, the two of them would always quarrel whenever they met each other.
Eight-cloud Ink knew why these two girls disliked each other, but he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"What a tragic Asura Battlefield …" This was Keita's language.
"Brother Mo, flirt, pervert." Xin Meiji said.
"Winner in life, scum …" Kirito said when he came here with Souta as a guest.
By the way, Kirito also logged in with Eight-cloud Ink as a friend, and he also got the permission to visit this place. It was said that Kirito was also working hard to save money to build a house here and become neighbors with Eight-cloud Ink.
In this regard, Eight-cloud Ink could only smile bitterly.
After spending some leisurely time on the 22nd floor, Eight-cloud Ink once again returned to the life of exploring the labyrinth alone.
It's just that this time, the leveling up wasn't as big as before.
Not long after that, Kirito, who had saved enough money, also bought a building order and a wooden villa blueprint from the NPC shop. He settled down not far from Eight-cloud Ink's luxurious courtyard and officially became neighbors with Eight-cloud Ink.
At the same time, just like Eight-cloud Ink, Kirito, who didn't know any cooking skills, didn't have enough gold coins to hire an NPC maid, so he came to Eight-cloud Ink's house every day during mealtime.
Every time Kirito saw Asuna wearing an apron and busying herself in the kitchen, he would look at Eight-cloud Ink with envy and jealousy.
Time passed quickly, and a year has passed since the launch of SAO.
Not long ago, Knights of the Blood was officially recognized as the strongest guild by all the players. As the vice leader, Asuna's reputation once again reached a new peak.
Aincrad also reached the 49th floor, and the Clearers were looking for the boss room.
However, every Clearers felt a heavy burden on their hearts.
Because once they cleared the 49th floor, they would reach the 50th floor.
After the 25th floor army suffered heavy losses, some Clearers leaked some information, saying that the boss of every 25th floor of Aincrad would be greatly strengthened.
How strong will the boss of the 50th floor be? This time, will there be another guild that will withdraw from the Clearers after suffering heavy losses like the previous army?
With such worries in mind, most of the Clearers once again focused their attention on Eight-cloud Ink.
Countless Clearers guessed that after clearing the 49th floor, will Eight-cloud Ink combine the strategy of the 50th floor with the strategy of the 25th floor again?
After all, out of the 49 floors that had been cleared, Yakumo had cleared 23 floors by herself!
December 23rd, 2023, Christmas Eve.
"Huh? Christmas Eve celebration? "Eight-cloud Ink held a cup of black tea and looked at Asuna, who was sitting opposite him.
After dinner, Kirito went back to his room and didn't want to be the third wheel.
Asuna and Eight-cloud Ink sat opposite each other under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, drinking black tea and chatting.
"Yes, according to our intel, on Christmas Eve, tomorrow at midnight, an event boss named" Nicholas the Traitor "will appear, and players who kill him will get a resurrection item!"
Asuna's expression was very solemn.
"All the powerful Players and guilds are looking for clues about this boss!"
In SAO, once a player's hp reaches zero, their body in the real world will also be killed. For every Player, they only have one life.
But this time, a boss will drop a resurrection item!
One can imagine how crazy and intense the Players' desire for this item will be.
"I remember that once a Player dies in the game, their brain in the real world will also be destroyed by high-power microwaves, right?"
"Then, can this item really resurrect the dead Players?"
"It's impossible for a damaged brain to be repaired by an item. Therefore, the so-called resurrection function of this item is probably to resurrect a person within a short period of time after death before the brain is damaged by the microwave."
"For those Players who have been dead for a long time, this item won't work!"
After listening to Eight-cloud Ink's speculation, Asuna was silent for a while, then she looked up with a firm gaze. "But even so, it can still save a dying Player's life, right?"
"You want it?" Eight-cloud Ink looked at Asuna and smiled.
"That, that …" Asuna looked a little embarrassed.
Eight-cloud Ink looked at Asuna's embarrassed face and laughed, then he waved his hand and said: "It's not a shameful thing to want a resurrection item, if you want it, then go ahead and try your best, I'll help you when the time comes!"
"Really!?"
Asuna looked up with a surprised expression on her face.
"Why would I lie to you? Besides, that item is useless to me."
Eight-cloud Ink took a sip of the black tea.
[Ugh, it doesn't taste good, I miss Blue's black tea …]
