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

According to the letter that inexplicably appeared in Asuna's inbox just like before, Asuna seemed to be heading to a world filled with "malice".

What Asuna needs to do is not to save someone like she needs to save Arisa, but to kill the "evil" identified by her or the system.

For Asuna, who had lived in a peaceful world for a year, this was a task she did not want to accept.

It's a pity that Asuna didn't have the ability to refuse.

While the cooldown bar that allowed her to travel back was full, Asuna took the time to return to Orario several times, took Belle and Arisa to the dungeon several times, and after helping Hestia make some "collector's edition" snacks in the clan land, Asuna went to the deep layer to brush up a lot of rare materials, and after asking the god Hephaestus to create several sets of spare equipment, Asuna continued her journey in Orario.

Compared to his own world which has no mystery at all, in this world where gods exist, even if something unexpected happens, it shouldn't cause too much chaos, right?

At this point, Asuna's fourth time travel in her life began.

01Bad start

The same changes as before occurred again.

Apart from the extremely uncomfortable dizziness that remained unchanged, Asuna did not even feel the passage of time.

Then, without blinking, a blue light flashed, and Asuna appeared in an unfamiliar city.

No, it might not be quite right to say it’s a strange city. To be more precise, it’s a strange world.

Unlike the previous world full of wild gods, although it is raining heavily in this world, the buildings here are still intact and civilization still continues here.

However, although this world is not as desolate as Alyssa's world, there is a strange atmosphere in the air.

However, compared to the previous world, being treated like a baby in the rain at the beginning was already considered much gentler.

At least, there was no inexplicable existence that suddenly appeared, howled to the sky, and then attacked him.

Of course, this gentleness is only relative. The howling cold wind and the continuous heavy rain are not gentle at all in essence.

The violent wind and rain soaked Asuna's adventurer's clothes.

As she was worried that she would appear in a crowded place wearing armor, Asuna bought an ordinary female adventurer's outfit in Orario as a cover.

Of course, under this clothing, Asuna is still wearing some protective gear such as inner armor. After all, as mentioned before, Asuna’s mission in this world is to kill what she thinks is "evil" or what the system identifies as evil.

If this is the case, then I will definitely have to fight in this world.

Even if you want to disguise yourself, it is natural to wear several layers of protective gear under the disguise.

The era here seems to be similar to that of Orario. They are both cities, and the ground is not made of concrete but rock tiles. It has nothing to do with the modern era, but instead has a bit of the look of Orario.

However, these are not what Asuna cares about now.

Although the landing location was changed from the wilderness to the alley in the corner of the city, the dizziness in Asuna's mind did not seem to be relieved at all.

Maybe it's because I haven't traveled to a new world for a long time, so my body's resistance to the dizziness has returned to its previous state.

"Uh-huh..."

Asuna held her head with one hand, moved her body to the corner of the wall, leaned against the wall, and was unable to recover for a long time.

The originally beautiful long hair became a burden at this moment. Under the pouring rain, it stuck to Asuna's skin and even blocked Asuna's vision for a while.

"Really? I should have cut my hair earlier."

Asuna gave a wry smile, raised her head, and reluctantly pushed aside the hair covering her eyes.

Looking up at the sky, all you can see is dark clouds covering the entire sky.

Thick dark clouds enveloped the place tightly, and not even a trace of light could be seen.

It gives people an extremely depressing feeling!

The dizzy feeling in my head seemed to become more severe with the invasion of rain.

It even gave Asuna the illusion that her body temperature was continuing to drop.

"I can't stay here any longer."

Asuna's hands were on the ground, and just as she was trying to support herself with her arms, a crisp sound of metal collision suddenly rang out.

Asuna looked down subconsciously.

"I almost forgot about you guys."

Looking at the ring on her finger made by the god Hephaestus, Asuna couldn't help but sigh.

During the one year of peaceful life in her own world, Asuna never took off the ring and necklace that she had commissioned from the god Hephaestus to suppress her "charm" ability.

After a long time, Asuna got used to their existence and wore them as ordinary accessories.

If it weren't for her current extremely poor condition, Asuna might not even remember the existence of the two of them.

After accumulating some strength, Asuna seemed to have cleared all distracting thoughts from her mind. She took a long breath, forced down the deep feeling of dizziness in her head, and stood up from the ground.

She staggered two steps left and right, and her long hair that had been pulled aside once again blocked her eyes.

"In the future...I must definitely find a chance to cut it off!"

Asuna leaned against the wall, looking through the gaps between her hair, looking for a place where she could shelter from the rain and rest.

My current condition is extremely bad, probably because I have been delaying the time travel that should have been done long ago, and I have become accustomed to a comfortable life, so I deliberately put myself through such things.

But no matter what, what I have to do now is to find a safe place and wait quietly for my spirit to recover.

Otherwise, given my current state, I might fall into the hands of some villains.

Although I don’t understand what kind of world this is, since my mission is to kill the existence of "evil", this world will definitely not be peaceful or safe.

Recover yourself and try to stay alive safely in your current state.

After recovery, I will consider the meaning of the mission and what the so-called "evil" is.

and.

"It's completely stopped."

Asuna slid her finger and brought up her character panel again.

However, both the red progress bar that allowed him to travel to a new world and the blue progress bar that allowed him to return to the world he had been to, had already stopped moving forward.

It seems that they will only restart after they complete the task of killing "evil".

Asuna walked out of the alley with difficulty and looked towards the street.

The architecture here is similar to that of Orario, both are similar to those in medieval Europe.

Asuna had no idea whether this was a town or a city, nor did she know if there were any masters or other strange beings here. So, if possible, she did not intend to do anything that would attract a large number of enemies, at least until her spirit recovered.

However, compared to modern times, everything was very simple in the Middle Ages.

After all, the level of technology in the Middle Ages was far behind that of modern times. People didn’t even have modern weapons, let alone modern armies.

The only thing we need to be wary of is to hope that there won't be any so-called witches or werewolves appearing.

Even though Orario had magic and other races, it was a different world after all. If one easily integrated Orario's way of life into this world, one might end up bringing oneself into some unnecessary trouble.

02 Single businessman and orphan

However, in a place like this, even if a crime was committed, those medieval police... no, it should be sheriffs and security teams, they could not have the modern efficiency.

Originally, Asuna thought so...

Until one moment, Asuna accidentally noticed the street lights.

It was a street lamp that was powered on, and its style was also a retro Western style.

"There are electric lights? So this isn't the Middle Ages? But rather... the second industrial revolution of the nineteenth century?"

Asuna tried her best to hide herself in the darkness and thought silently in her heart.

“Or is this just a modern tourist attraction with an old-fashioned architectural style?”

After all, in some places where film and television are well developed, there are often iconic scenery from all over the world.

If you were in a photography town...

"No, if you just look at the buildings and stuff, there's no way to figure out what era this is from."

Asuna shook her head.

However, even if you don’t understand the current situation, what you need to do will not change.

In this situation, there is really no other way to find shelter and recover the fastest, except for the cost-free behavior of finding an unlucky person.

After all, if she didn't go looking for an unlucky guy, she couldn't possibly wait for a kind-hearted person to fall from the sky, then kindly take her home, give her some drinks and food, then very enthusiastically let her wash and change clothes, and then get a single room for her to sleep, right?

If there really is such a "kind-hearted person", Asuna wouldn't dare to believe it.

Asuna was still very confident about her appearance, and she had a good idea of ​​why those "good-hearted people" "received her so kindly".

“…Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve done something like this…”

Seeing a figure appear across the street, Asuna took out a short knife she bought in Orario from the warehouse with some embarrassment.

Staggering towards the figure holding an umbrella in the heavy rain, Asuna pretended to be a drunk passerby and casually glanced at the middle-aged man opposite her, who was dressed like a businessman, had a bloated figure and a big belly. She instantly judged that the other party was just an ordinary person.

"Good...very good...come a little closer..."

Asuna approached cautiously, like those novice adventurers who had just entered the dungeon.

Perhaps because the sky was too gloomy and Asuna's hair was a little disheveled, the middle-aged man subconsciously ignored Asuna.

He even leaned aside as if in disgust.

"Forehead……"

Asuna was speechless.

However, this was also the best time, so Asuna did not wait any longer and suddenly pounced from behind.

Bang!

The fat middle-aged man wanted to resist, but he was completely unable to put up any resistance and was directly pushed to the ground by Asuna, with his face pressed against the puddles on the ground.

As for the dagger, it was pressed tightly against the man's neck, making him dare not move at all.

"W-Who!"

"...If someone passing by wants to borrow your house, I won't kill you if you know what's best for you."

"House?!"

"Why, don't you want to?"

Asuna increased the strength of her hands, causing the middle-aged man to nod his head vigorously and howl like a ghost.

"I agree! I agree! I'll give you whatever you want, just don't kill me!"

"In that case, let me keep your weapons. Then, I'll ask you to lead the way."

Asuna snatched the dagger from the man's waist and dragged the man into the alley when no one was passing by.

Asuna quickly glanced around and saw a small house that looked like an independent public toilet in the corner of the dead end.

I don't know if this building can be called a house, it's so small and terribly small.

The house is only the size of a makeshift toilet, and is built entirely of discarded wooden boards in a clumsy manner. If you don't know, you would really think it is just a shabby toilet.

Moreover, the house looked like it was still leaking.

With the help of the street lights outside, Asuna could vaguely see the only furniture in the hut, which was a wooden board placed on the floor. She wasn't sure if it could be called a bed. The environment looked very bleak.

In the leaky hut, there was a pair of people huddled in a corner, hugging each other.

The light from the street lamp was already dim here, and the two people had their heads lowered, so Asuna couldn't see clearly what they looked like, but from their body shapes, they should be two children.

If I'm not mistaken, these two children who are shivering due to the cold or fear should be beggars or vagrants, otherwise they would not stay in the shabby house on such a rainy night.

However, what is clear is that among the two people, the slightly larger figure is desperately pressing down the smaller figure, with one hand covering his mouth and the other covering his eyes, and he is even trying to lower his head and not look at what is happening here.

It seems that this is their way of survival.

If a crime is witnessed, the perpetrator is likely to kill to silence the witnesses. If no one saw anything, the perpetrator may let them go if he is in a good mood. These two children are obviously people at the bottom of society. Apart from closing their eyes and praying, pretending that they saw nothing, there is really nothing they can do.

The person Asuna thought was a businessman was really a businessman.

He just came out to check on his own shop. Since the distance was close, there wouldn't be any problems. Besides, most robbers should close their shops when it's raining, right?

Unfortunately, who knew that he had only walked less than 300 meters before he encountered a robber. Without any ability to resist, he had to obediently tell Asuna his home address and pray that Asuna would let him go after arriving at his house.
