I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

As for Asuna herself?

To be honest, I am now a little worried that once I enter that space, those guardian knights will no longer appear in front of me, and then I will be allowed to fly high into the sky, enter that door, and become an elf of light.

After all, she had succeeded just now.

If once I go in, those guardian knights won't come out. In that case, what's the point of calling those members of the SAO strategy group?

Therefore, Asuna planned to wait until Leafa went offline, and then find an opportunity to go online and re-enter the World Tree to explore it.

If those guardian knights still don't learn their lesson and attack me, then after the SAO strategy team membership expires, I can also join in and fish in troubled waters.

Asuna didn't have much experience in letting the opponent win, but with her current strength, even if she did, the players wouldn't be able to see any flaws.

After all, in Asuna's eyes, letting the opponent win is actually a very high level of technical skill among players.

"is it?"

Leafa looked at Asuna suspiciously, as if she realized that Asuna was hiding something.

but.

"Well, never mind. I'm glad you're okay."

Leafa put her hands behind her back and took a few brisk steps forward. Suddenly, she turned around and smiled brightly at Asuna.

"You should have your own plans, Asuna."

Leafa opened her arms and walked steadily along the gap between the bricks under her feet as if she was walking on a single-plank bridge.

Her body did not shake at all, and even though her upper body seemed to be about to fall, she did it on purpose.

With her sword skills, how could she fall so easily?

"I don't know what you're going to do, but if it's you, it should be okay."

Leafa suddenly jumped forward, stood firm, turned around, tilted her head, and smiled at Asuna: "But now, can you continue to accompany me shopping?"

Leafa clasped her hands together and said, "Please, I was so worried before. If I don't go shopping to relax, I will feel uncomfortable for the rest of the day."

Although she said so, Leafa's eyes were full of anticipation and smile.

"Okay." Asuna nodded. It was just shopping, not a big deal, so why couldn't she agree to it?

However, Asuna soon felt deeply regretful for her hasty decision.

The reason is simple——too tired!!!

It's just a game, so with my abilities I shouldn't feel tired...

but……

but……

Asuna gave a wry smile and glanced at Leafa, who was holding her arm and excitedly pulling her shopping, and she felt like crying but had no tears.

So, Leafa had never been at full power before?!

……

……

The family is united, Asuna's room.

Asuna, who was lying on the bed, trembled slightly and finally opened her eyes.

"call……"

After slowly exhaling, Asuna took off the stealth device on her head and sat up from the bed, feeling exhausted.

"Really... I underestimated that kid."

Asuna rubbed her brows with a headache.

She never thought that she would lose to an ordinary human girl when it comes to shopping!

In my current state, although my physical fitness is greatly limited, in terms of spirit, I have already far surpassed ordinary people by many times.

However, even so, under Leafa's leadership, Asuna, who had strong mental strength, still felt deeply tired.

And he was deeply impressed by Leafa.

At the same time, Asuna secretly made a decision in her heart!

That is----

"I will never go shopping alone with that kid again!"

Asuna smiled bitterly, moved her body, sat on the edge of the bed, and placed the stealth device in her hand on her desk.

Then, she lay on her back with her eyes slightly open, as if she was looking at some existence that did not exist in this world, slightly dazed, in order to relieve her tired spirit.

Meanwhile, at the Kiritani residence, Suguha looked very happy and even hummed a song while making some fruit salad for her brother Kirito, which surprised Kirito.

The gap between the two was immediately apparent.

In response to this, Asuna could only say that she was really not the type of person who was good at shopping!

91 Party

half a month later.

Okachimachi, Taipei District, Tokyo.

In front of one of the narrow alleys, Asuna and the Kiritani siblings got out of a taxi.

"Is this the venue for the party?"

Suguha looked at the narrow alley in front of him and said in surprise.

Not only Suguha, but even Asuna and Kirito were a little surprised.

"Are you sure you're here?"

Asuna looked at Kirito in confusion. After all, it was Kirito who was responsible for contacting everyone.

"Didn't they say the venue was in Mr. Agil's shop?"

Asuna asked in confusion, looking at the narrow alley in front of her.

Half a month later, a gathering of SAO survivors, or friends, took place in the shop of their friend, Agil.

The burly two-handed axe wielder was not only a profiteer in SAO, but also the owner of a bar in the real world. He also had a beautiful wife and was a complete winner in life, which made Klein cry out that it was unfair.

During the two years that Agil was trapped in SAO, his wife continued to run the bar and endured a lot of hardships, which touched Agil deeply.

This time, under Asuna's leadership, Kirito made an appointment with everyone to gather together in Agil's shop.

However, although they knew about this, they didn't know where Agil's shop was. Only Kirito seemed to have been there a few times.

"I was also shocked when I first came here, but it is indeed here."

Kirito smiled and said, "Come with me."

After saying that, Kirito led the way.

Asuna and Suguha looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to follow.

After all, since Kirito has been here several times, he would not have come to the wrong place. Even if he wanted to complain, he could only complain that Agil's choice of location was problematic.

Not long after, under the guidance of Kirito, Asuna and Leafa came to a very remote corner.

If a stranger had brought them to this place, they might have just started fighting.

think about it.

Strange man.

Alleys, corners, bars.

The combination of these factors is definitely problematic.

However, this time, they really did not come to the wrong place.

In the corner of this alley, there is a shop.

The main door of the store was made of wood covered with charcoal ash, with only a metal sign hanging on it to indicate the location of the store.

The name of the store is engraved on the signboard——【DiceyCafe】.

"Okay, this is it."

Kirito stopped and spoke to Asuna in a mysterious tone.

"Okay, Asuna, go open the door."

"I?"

Asuna was slightly startled, then seemed to understand something, smiled helplessly, then walked forward and pushed open the door.

"Dingle bell~!"

Accompanied by a pleasant bell sound, the shop door was pushed open.

Immediately afterwards...

“Pah pah pah pah pah——!”

The sound of a salute suddenly rang out.

"ah!"

When the sound of the salute came from the store, except for Asuna and Kirito, Suguha was careless for a moment, and the crowdfunding group ④⑤六壹②⑦九４零 was frightened by this sudden "surprise" and let out a small cry, causing Kirito to turn his head and laugh.

And Suguha reacted immediately, and twisted her colleague's waist unhappily, making him unable to laugh anymore.

Asuna, on the other hand, remained in the posture of opening the door, her body covered with countless ribbons and bright golden confetti floating down from mid-air.

Asuna's eyes were filled with helplessness.

What appeared before Asuna's eyes was a scene that was not much different from what she had imagined.

When Kirito asked her to open the door just now, Asuna guessed that this would be the result.

The all-wooden shop only has four tables and a bar, which looks cramped, but exudes a rather cozy vibe.

However, this store is full of people at this moment.

“Pah pah pah pah!

"Oh oh oh oh!"

"Ohhhhhh!"

The young boys and girls were either cheering loudly, clapping continuously, or some were even whistling loudly, making the atmosphere look quite lively.

"Long time no see, Vice Captain."

"Asuna!"

"You're finally here! Asuna!"

"long time no see!"

"Oh, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

People cheered for Asuna, and their eyes were filled with gratitude and joy.

Asuna recognized them almost immediately. Even though they were somewhat different from those in the game, they were all her acquaintances.

There are players in "Blood Knights" with whom you have a good relationship.

There are top players in the strategy group who trust their arrangements very much.

Other players you know directly or indirectly.

There were also players who knew Asuna and fought alongside her, all gathered here.

A large number of people gathered in this somewhat cramped store, cheering and clapping for Asuna's arrival.

"Really? Is this necessary?"

Asuna looked at this scene, and although she was complaining, a smile appeared on her face.

But Suguha was stunned.

"Why, why are there so many people?"
