My avatar is the heroine

Without further comment, the still somewhat mysterious young woman silently left the scene.

Kirito could only follow, while Sora walked at the very back.

Night was falling, and Qiong Mei followed the two as they walked seemingly aimlessly down the street.

Asuna remained mostly silent, only speaking briefly when Kirito spoke. However, as time went on, she gradually became more talkative.

"By the way, you were really impressive before," Kirito suddenly praised Sora, "You managed to refute that guy in front of so many people."

"It's just a fact that even those who aren't closed beta testers can be on the front lines."

The three of them arrived at a lamppost; it was already dark by then.

Asuna sat down alone, took out a not-so-tasty bread from her person, and started eating.

Qiong took the opportunity to sit down next to her and then took out a bunch of things from her inventory.

Two cans of low-alcohol fruit wine, very sweet, can be drunk directly like a beverage.

Cakes, hamburgers, and sandwiches can last for six or seven hours.

In addition, various nuts, snacks, raisins, and the like quickly filled the bench between her and Asuna.

"Let's eat together."

Asuna: "..."

"So much food, it must have cost a lot of money, right? Isn't this too extravagant..." Kirito was embarrassed.

Whether they're high-end or low-end players, they're all busy figuring out how to play the game, and hardly anyone's willing to spend spare cash on these expensive in-game luxuries. But Qiong just pulled out a whole bunch of them.

"Just kill more monsters and you'll get it. That's what I eat for every meal."

Asuna stopped eating her bread, her eyes fixed intently on the food beneath her felt hat.

"Want some? Let's eat together."

After saying that, he pushed some of the food a little over.

Asuna didn't refuse; she took the can and took a sip, then downed the entire can in one go without hesitation.

Kirito wanted some too, but he was too embarrassed to ask the girl for some. So he swallowed hard, took out a bottle of cream he got from a quest from his inventory, and spread it on the same kind of bread.

"You can eat with us too," Qiong said, pointing to the food. "I have plenty more, I can just buy more if needed."

"Thank you."

Kirito sat down, and when he got close to Sora's long, graying hair and her thighs in white stockings, he... couldn't help but glance down.

She's a complete special attack type girl.

Chapter 319 Status

"Where are you looking?" Qiong narrowed her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of danger.

Kirito immediately looked away, his gaze drifting towards the sky, but his flushed face betrayed his impure heart.

"Asuna, there's plenty of food left. Feel free to enjoy it while you're in the team."

Qiongmei is very generous; she shares her good things with everyone.

They would never have guessed that this abnormally wealthy player had a dedicated clone who would spend several hours each day earning money to buy food reserves, and then spend several more hours earning money to exchange for various potions, thus adopting a potion-fueled combat style.

Asuna, who ate very quickly, also felt embarrassed and thought she had gone a bit too far.

"No need. I didn't come to this town for a good meal."

Qiong looked at her in surprise: "But you should have started to improve your cooking skills, right? And you've improved them quite a bit."

"How did you know?" Asuna finally showed a slight surprise, then realized what she had revealed and quickly explained, "If you keep eating the same kind of food, it will affect your performance."

"Alright." Qiong shrugged. "Anyway, let's work hard together to take down the boss tomorrow. The reward for defeating the first boss is a black coat, which I think is quite suitable for Kirito."

Kirito paused for a moment: "You're a closed beta player too?"

"No, this is my first time entering this game." Qiong Mei opened another bottle of drink, took a swig, and then said slowly, "I completed a mission before and got some information from it. I've confirmed that this BOSS won't be too difficult, but I can't rule out changes in its behavior patterns. Therefore, we can't rely too much on your experience from the closed beta. After all, no one can guarantee that the game's content won't change after the official launch, and there might be traps hidden there to kill closed beta players."

"You have a point."

Since it concerned his life, Kirito dared not take it lightly.

At the meeting today, Qiong Mei's words made a lot of sense to him. This seemingly frail girl was likely stronger than he imagined; the fact that she could enjoy luxurious food in such a time of relative scarcity proved she was a top-tier player.

For the next while, the three of them remained silent.

Asuna hasn't gotten to know the two of them well yet, so she's not very talkative. If her true form didn't have so many clones and was a normal guy, she might have been lucky enough to be liked by Kirito before he did.

"Yeah, I'll just think about it."

Now, whenever he uses his clone, he becomes obsessed with himself. Under the clone's seduction, his original body naturally loses all other thoughts and eventually succumbs to the clone's temptation.

Then, one falls into depravity amidst dual or even multiple sensations.

He had always inherited the masculine traits of his original self and always considered himself a boy. However, the physiological influence was more powerful than he had imagined. In his clone state, he had to admit that he was a girl, and not just any girl, but someone who could fully understand what he, as a man, needed.

He even had the urge to do *that* with himself more than once. The thought of himself, as a girl, responding to and teasing his own body, actually... gave him a slight thrill.

Of all the clones, Yukino is the most likely to be the first to break through this limitation.

Yukino Yukinoshita, this seemingly pure and aloof honor student, actually harbors indescribable passions. Her body is incredibly sensitive; without a doubt, the image seen in the anime is only a facade. If one didn't know what kind of person Yukino truly was, and how she manipulated her own body, one might even suspect that this girl's true nature was depraved.

You can't imagine that when facing your own true self, you would involuntarily look at certain places and then physiologically desire to become a real woman.

Then, just thinking about it made me realize I had to change my skirt and underwear. Because I already…

"Hmm, so how could I dare..."

Yukino's strength of over a hundred tons was slightly excessive; if it were pushed too far, it would have killed her body.

Considering that SAO is essentially a game, he thought that next time he might be able to find a way to block the monitoring of administrators such as Kayaba Akihiko, and then let X, with his Heroic Spirit-level physical abilities, satisfy Yukino.

If he were a woman, of course he wouldn't be able to accept this, but right now, he's still looking forward to it.

"I hope X won't be played to death by Yukino, right? No... I think it's Yukino who will be played to death."

I always feel like going too far with the fun can actually have a training effect, like experiencing both pain and pleasure under the evil forces of X...

"Uh, have I developed some kind of sadistic taste for Yukino?"

Maybe next time I can use Yukino to pitifully beg for mercy, and then she might relax her pressure on me out of pity.

Su Lin absolutely does not have a split personality; he knows it's all himself, a single consciousness from beginning to end. But human nature is fascinating; sometimes, even when you're clearly one person, you can try some unbelievable things. Anyway, that's all his own secret.

However… considering that the system probably also possesses some kind of communicative personality, he couldn’t help but wonder how the system would view all of this.

After all, it had specifically shown itself to Yukino from above.

……

The next morning, outside the town.

"Everyone is here now, so let's assign specific tasks."

Diabel began reading through the plan he had prepared overnight, ultimately labelling Sora, Kirito, and Asuna as the "lone wolf group." Whether it was out of disrespect or to protect them, their mission was to fight the Boss's personal guard—Ruin Kobold Sentinel.

Needless to say, the guards are far weaker than the BOSS. In fact, if they follow the mission exactly, they won't feel any pressure at all, unless everyone on the scene is wiped out and the BOSS is still alive.

"So, that's the mission, got it?" Diabel finally walked up to Kirito, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "You're really lucky, bro."

"Lucky?"

Kirito paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Sora and Asuna sitting not far away.

He twitched his lips; from a certain perspective, he was indeed lucky.

Asuna, with her robes on and her head down most of the time, is largely unnoticed. Sora, on the other hand, is undeniably adorable. Everyone knows how much attention a girl in a short skirt, white stockings, and cream-white twin tails attracts. A girl like that appearing on the street doesn't even need to do anything to draw the attention of most men.

Then, she was confessed to several times...

Yes, there are quite a few people who confess their feelings as soon as they meet.

After all, he was no longer leveling up alone outside. Compared to the worlds he had experienced before, the people in this world were obviously more open and direct.

She simply declined gracefully, maintaining her image well.

Chapter 320 A Difficult Battle

In the central maze area on the first floor, in front of the BOSS room door.

"We've finally arrived. There's not much more to say. In short, everyone must achieve victory." Diabel clenched his fist and said to the group, who were already sweating with tension.

Once you enter the BOSS's room, it means you cannot leave until you defeat the BOSS and die.

Qiong stood at the back of the line, silently staring at the gate in front of her.

Suddenly, he felt a displeased gaze fixed on him.

Turning around, I realized it was the guy who had tried to squeeze money out of the beta testers.

"Hmm, this guy is a bit selfish. If he goes too far, it's better to kill him."

This game is now a matter of life and death. Someone who still harms others for their own benefit in this situation might do something drastic in the future. Anyway, she simply dislikes people like that.

"Then, let's all cheer each other on."

With a shout from Diabel, the door to the BOSS room opened, and all the players who were trying to complete the mission stepped into the spacious hall.

Boom~~

With a loud bang, the door behind me slammed shut.

At the far end of the rectangular hall, the bull-shaped (actually a kobold) BOSS, sitting alone, suddenly had its eyes glow red, let out a roar, stood up from its chair, and leaped to the very center of the hall.

The dark scene was immediately illuminated by light, and three goblin-like creatures appeared around the BOSS, and the battle began.

"All-out attack!"

Diabel raised his sword and shouted, and all the warriors charged forward bravely.

Qiong, who had also drawn her weapon, glanced at the guy and began to attack a goblin alone.

She doesn't need teammates to switch roles; she can easily handle things on her own. Although she's physically weak, at least she's not as weak as Shokuhou, who's too frail to go into battle.

The goblin's greatsword swung at a moderate speed, but thanks to her superior reflexes, she dodged it almost the instant the attack landed, and then instantly killed her target.

"At least my level is high enough, these monsters are a piece of cake for me."

A surge of confidence welled up within her, and a slight smile played on her lips as she turned and charged toward the other one.

"Switch, Asuna."

Around the same time, Kirito also blocked the goblin's attack, allowing the opponent to step aside during the brief interval after the attack. Asuna then easily pierced the target with her longsword.

"The third one...wait?"

When Asuna and Kirito discovered that Sora had already dealt with the last monster, they were both taken aback.

That's a bit fast. He originally thought Asuna was a newbie, but he didn't expect her to be so skilled. As for Sora... emmm, he and Asuna had to work together to safely kill one small monster, while this guy had already taken down two on his own.

Ahead, the team members and the BOSS have started fighting.

Judging from the current performance, this BOSS does not seem to be too strong. Relying on their passion, the team members cooperated very well, constantly switching positions to move forward, watching helplessly as the opponent's HP was rapidly reduced.

Before long, his four health bars were reduced to half during the battle.

then……

"Roar~~"

Entering the second phase.

"Step aside, let me do it." Diabel stepped forward.

Previously, when everyone was weakening the BOSS's health, he stood in the back and directed the operation. But now, he was the first to rush to the front. Without even thinking, Qiong knew what he was going to do.

"The command just now was to confirm that the BOSS's combat strength and behavior patterns were the same as during the closed beta. And now, without a doubt, it's to steal kills."

Killing the BOSS yields the most experience and money, so naturally, the kill reward goes to him.

However, when the BOSS is down to its last half health bar, it needs to unleash its ultimate attack.

Therefore, according to the plot, Diabel will be killed in one hit.

"Want to save?"

It seems unnecessary.

Although it was a living being, there is no doubt that the name of Kirito the Black Swordsman is closely related to the black coat dropped by this BOSS.
