I'm a Sword Master in Sword Art Online

There was a few seconds of silence in the alley, then—

"Oh, have you been discovered?"

Accompanied by a light, cheerful tone, a slender figure appeared around the corner before Mochizuki Kaede. The girl stood with her hands behind her back, her head slightly tilted, her short, light purple hair swaying gently in the breeze. Her steps were light and graceful, like a butterfly dancing among flowers.

She wore a form-fitting, off-the-shoulder purple top that accentuated her slender yet curvaceous shoulders and neck, with her collarbones subtly visible. The fabric cinched slightly at the chest, highlighting her full curves. Her white lace mini-skirt swayed gently with her steps, revealing a glimpse of her fair thighs between her knee-high boots and the hem of the skirt.

What's most striking are her crimson eyes, calm as a deep pool, yet carrying a faint, almost imperceptible smile. The slightly upturned corners of her eyes add a touch of mischief, and her delicate features combine the liveliness of a young girl with a mature charm beyond her years.

"Hello." She greeted me with a smile, her voice carrying a hint of lazy sweetness, "I'm Stoleya, nice to meet you."

She leaned slightly forward, her curves becoming more pronounced with the movement. Her crimson eyes gazed directly into Wang Yuefeng's eyes, her smile radiant yet her true intentions unfathomable.

“Storia…” Mochizuki Kaede frowned slightly, quickly searching through all his memories. He was certain that he had never seen this strange girl before.

"Do we know each other?" His fingers were still lightly resting on the hilt of his sword, his voice carrying a cautious probing tone.

The girl tilted her head, her light purple hair slipping down her shoulder. Her crimson eyes curved into crescent moons: "Hmm~ It's our first time meeting..."

She winked playfully: "What's wrong? Your expression is so scary~"

Mochizuki Kaede's gaze was sharp as a knife: "What is your purpose in following me?"

"Hmm—" Stoleya tapped her chin with her index finger, pretending to think. "Just because I'm a little interested, right? You're so strong and famous, isn't it normal for people to be curious?"

These words caused Mochizuki Kaede's pupils to shrink slightly. His strength was indeed far beyond that of ordinary players, but the evaluation of him as "famous" was worth pondering.

Among ordinary players, Asuna [Flash] or Mito [Death God] are clearly more well-known. The only identity that might make him "famous" is the title [Silver Shura], but few people know that this title is related to him.

"You seem to be quite capable as well," Mochizuki Kaede said, scrutinizing the other person.

"Oh dear, have I been found out?" Stoleya chuckled, covering her mouth as she drew circles on the ground with the toe of her boot. "I am... actually quite strong, you know."

She pressed her fair hand to her cheek, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "But... um... as expected..."

Mochizuki Kaede frowned even more: "What do you mean by 'as expected'?"

Stoleya parted her red lips slightly, her breath sweet as orchids: "You really are... cuter up close."

Before Wang Yuefeng could react to the meaning of those words, his vision was suddenly engulfed by a blanket of white.

With astonishing speed, Stoleya grabbed his head and buried his face in her ample bosom.

The rich fragrance instantly enveloped his sense of smell, but even more intense was the breathtakingly soft touch. The elastic, full breasts almost completely enveloped his face, and the warm body heat emanated through the thin fabric.

"Wait...! Let go of me!" Mochizuki struggled in a muffled voice, but was shocked to find that the girl's slender arms were as immovable as iron hoops. This was definitely not the strength that an ordinary player should have.

Strea swayed happily, letting the boy in her arms sink deeper into her soft embrace: "What does it matter~ You're so cute! It makes me want to do this all the time~"

She even mischievously tightened her arms a little more.

"What kind of twisted logic is this..." Mochizuki Kaede's voice was completely buried between her ample breasts, so muffled that it was almost inaudible.

"Ah! Hey!" The girl's eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you free now? I'd really like to go for tea together! Is that alright?"

Although the question was used, the action of holding the other person's head showed no intention of letting go.

"Okay, I'll go with you... just let me go first..."

"Great!"

Stoleya finally let go, but before releasing him, she gently rubbed her chest against his face, leaving Mochizuki Kaede standing there coughing violently with a flushed face.

They went to the coffee shop next door.

"Is this place alright? Come on, have a seat!" Stoleya pulled out a chair with a light touch.

She placed her hands on the table, leaning slightly forward, her chest casting alluring shadows on the surface.

Mochizuki Kaede sat down opposite her, her gaze never leaving the girl's face. Every movement she made was as natural as an impromptu performance, yet it carried an elusive sense of rhythm.

Moreover, from beginning to end, Mochizuki Kaede did not sense a trace of hostility from her.

This type of girl, Mochizuki Kaede, is completely led by the nose.

—Let's go along with her for now and see if we can get any information out of her…

"Hey, Mochizuki Kaede," Stoleya suddenly leaned closer, her crimson eyes sparkling with curiosity, "Is the coffee here good? I'll share some milk tea with you, and you can share some coffee with me, okay?"

"Okay, please have some." Mochizuki Kaede pushed his coffee cup toward her.

Stoleria took a small sip, her eyes instantly curving into crescents: "It's sweeter than I imagined, so delicious! By the way, aren't coffee and the like very bitter? I hate bitter drinks the most."

"In that case, you can drink them all."

"Really? That's great!" The girl happily picked up the cup, jumping for joy like a child who had received candy.

Observing the girl's innocent and carefree behavior, Mochizuki Kaede decided to get to the point: "Storea."

"Hmm?" She tilted her head innocently.

"You said you were interested in me." Mochizuki Kaede's voice deepened. "How much do you really know about me?"

. . . .

Thank you to [Asuna明日奈] for the knife! And thank you to [龙骐骐] for the monthly pass!

Chapter 165: Jealousy

"How many? Well..." Stoleya's fingers gently twirled the ends of her hair, a sly glint in her crimson eyes. "I've been watching you for a long time now."

"When was 'very early'?" Mochizuki Kaede looked directly into the girl's blushing eyes.

The girl suddenly leaned forward, her snow-white skin, partially visible through her neckline, gleaming like pearls in the sunlight.

“For example…” she lowered her voice, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, “I know about your wedding with that dark elf lady.”

Mochizuki Kaede's fingers suddenly stopped; he hadn't expected the girl to know about his marriage to Kissmel.

"Who exactly are you?" Mochizuki Kaede asked seriously.

Stoleya suddenly feigned shyness, lightly covering her red lips with her slender fingers: "Oh dear~ Are you asking me so directly because you want to understand me more 'deeper'?"

She deliberately emphasized a certain word.

"I suppose so..." Mochizuki Kaede's expression remained unchanged, selectively ignoring the ambiguity in the other party's words.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so proactive~" The girl let out a silvery laugh, her soft breasts trembling gently with her movements.

Mochizuki Kaede sighed helplessly. This mysterious girl always managed to steer serious topics in strange directions.

"However, the question time is over~" Stoleya suddenly stood up, leaned closer, and her red lips almost touched Mochizuki Kaede's ear, "If you want the answer, let's go on another date next time!"

"Wait--"

However, before Mochizuki Kaede could finish speaking, the girl had already nimbly taken a few steps back.

"Thanks for today, Mochizuki Kaede!" She winked playfully, making a heart shape with her index finger and thumb. "See you next time, it's a date~"

The last syllable was still lingering in the air when the purple figure had already walked away, disappearing as lightly as morning mist at the street corner.

By the time Mochizuki Kaede realized what was happening and tried to give chase, Stoleya was nowhere to be found.

This inexplicable encounter was like being suddenly pestered by a capricious cat, only to have it leave without a second thought once the initial excitement wore off.

"Truly... unpredictable." Mochizuki Kaede ultimately just shook her head, a complex emotion flashing in her gray eyes.

The initial hostility had quietly melted away with contact with the girl, but new questions were piling up in his mind. Strea had displayed strength far exceeding that of ordinary players; that seemingly casual embrace in the alley had actually contained a chilling power. Moreover, what was even more intriguing was the subtle sense of unease surrounding her…

"However, we should meet again..." Mochizuki Kaede thought to himself, his intuition telling him that he would definitely see Stoleya again.

He never expected that the reunion would come so soon.

When he returned to his cabin and pushed open the wooden door, a familiar light purple figure appeared before him.

"Stroeya?"

"Ara~ Mochizuki Kaede, it's been a long time~" The girl smiled brightly.

Mochizuki Kaede's lips twitched slightly.

He had imagined countless scenarios for their reunion, but he never expected the other person to show up at his home. Less than half an hour had passed since they parted at the coffee shop.

Even worse—

Asuna stood to the side, holding Yui in her arms, a dangerous glint in her amber eyes. Silica clung tightly to Pina, her small face filled with vigilance.

The two of them simultaneously scanned back and forth between Mochizuki Kaede and Stoleya with scrutinizing eyes.

"We only parted ways half an hour ago, and you're saying 'long time no see'?" Mochizuki Kaede asked Stoleya, "Stoleya, how did you know I live here? And what are you doing here?"

Stoleya's crimson eyes were filled with laughter: "Because every second apart feels so long~ I suddenly wanted to see you again, so I came... Is that not allowed?"

She drew out the last three words, her tone almost coquettish. At the same time, Mochizuki Kaede clearly felt the two gazes beside her sharpen even further…

Mochizuki Kaede has gradually gotten used to Stoleya's way of speaking, which always steers the conversation in an ambiguous direction.

However, at this moment, he could clearly feel two sharp gazes beside him; Asuna and Silica's eyes were so dangerous they were almost tangible.

Just half an hour ago, Asuna and Silica were playing with Yui in the living room when the crisp sound of the doorbell broke the silence.

When the door opened, a strange girl with short, light purple hair stood in the doorway, sunlight shining on her delicate face.

"Hello~ I'm Stoleya, here to see Mochizuki Kaede." The girl smiled radiantly, her crimson eyes curving into crescent moons.

Asuna was surprised that Mochizuki Kaede knew such a dazzling girl, but out of politeness, she invited this uninvited guest into the living room.

And now-

"Wait, Stoleya, you...!" Before Mochizuki Kaede could finish speaking, the girl grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the sofa.

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Stoleya placed her hands on his shoulders and forcefully pushed him onto the sofa.

The next second, the girl actually sat sideways on his lap, her soft body completely leaning against Wang Yuefeng's chest. She even adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable.

Mochizuki Kaede could clearly feel every curve of the girl's body. Her warm body temperature emanated through the thin fabric, making him freeze, his hands hanging in mid-air, unsure of where to put them.

"What... what's going on?" Silica's voice changed, and Pina in her arms fluttered her wings anxiously.

Asuna wore a perfect smile, her voice eerily soft, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth: "Hehe, it seems like you two get along very well."

“It’s more comfortable sitting like this~” Stoleya was completely unaware of the sudden drop in temperature in the room, and even leaned back lazily against Mochizuki Kaede’s chest. “Mochizuki Kaede’s body temperature... is very reassuring.”

She squinted her eyes, like a satisfied cat.

Mochizuki Kaede's mind raced, but she couldn't fathom Stoleya's true intentions. This mysterious girl was like an unpredictable wind, acting entirely as she pleased.

Silica finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed up to them with Pina in her arms: "Miss Stoleya, what exactly is your relationship with Brother Feng?"

Her voice was clearly tinged with jealousy.

Stoleya chuckled and wagged her index finger: "Mochizuki Kaede and I are...very, very good friends~"

"W-what?!" Silica staggered back two steps as if struck by lightning, nearly dropping Pina from her arms.

"Silica, don't listen to her nonsense." Mochizuki Kaede patted Storea's back helplessly, her voice carrying a warning tone, "Storea, what exactly do you want to do?"

Just then, Asuna slowly stepped forward.

She said with a smile, "Xiao Feng, could you come to our room later?"

Chapter 166: A Familiar Aura

Asuna smiled kindly: "Xiao Feng, could you come to our room later?"

Mochizuki Kaede roughly guessed that Asuna was going to question her about her relationship with Strea.

Just then, Strea gracefully rose from his lap. She turned to Asuna and smiled.

"Hey, what's the relationship between Asuna and Mochizuki Kaede?"

"I am... Xiaofeng..." Asuna's cheeks suddenly flushed red, but she quickly straightened her back and shouted loudly as if to assert her ownership: "I am Xiaofeng's girlfriend!"

Strea's gaze lingered on Asuna, her smile deepening: "A girlfriend...it sounds like that would be interesting~"

"Very... interesting?" Asuna was speechless for a moment, completely unable to fathom the mysterious girl's intentions.

“Speaking of which…” Stoleya suddenly looked around, “I haven’t visited Mochizuki Kaede’s room yet.”

She tapped her chin lightly with her fingertips, a look of anticipation on her face: "I really want to see what your bedroom looks like..."

Mochizuki Kaede sighed, having given up trying to understand this unconventional girl.
