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

Thinking that the names of Akame and Kurome were both named after their own eye colors, which was simple and crude to the extreme, Asuna also chose a simple and direct name.

Well, even though it’s a title from SAO, it doesn’t seem strange when combined with their red and black pupils.

"What??"

"Name."

"Hey? Is this a name?"

"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?"

"No, no, I just think it's more like a code name than a name."

"Really? But I feel like your name is similar to mine."

"Forehead……"

"Flash...huh?...What a great name!"

"Forget about such compliments. It won't do any good even if you make me happy."

Looking at the forced flattering smile, Asuna mercilessly broke it.

The fake smile on Akahisa's face froze instantly.

……

……

The next morning, when Asuna woke up, Akame and Kurome were still huddled together, sleeping.

Without waking anyone up, Asuna quietly left the tent. After training in swordsmanship for a while, she took out the uneaten earth dragon meat from the warehouse and started roasting it again.

When Akame and Kurome woke up, Asuna had already finished her breakfast.

After throwing two pieces of earth dragon meat to the two sisters for further practice, he started to pack up his things, causing the two sisters, who originally wanted to concentrate on grilling the meat and strive to make it more delicious, to speed up.

After wolfing down their food, they finally caught up with Asuna's speed, wiped their mouths quickly, and stood beside Asuna.

After putting Akahime on her back, when Asuna was about to pick up Kurohime as well, she found that Kurohime was staring at the horse under her with a dull look in her eyes and saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to eat the horse.

No...it was not just a thought, but like her sister, Hei Tong, who had a great obsession with meat, subconsciously asked what was in her heart.

"Is this horse... edible?!"

"...No! If you dare to eat it, you won't have to eat anymore!"

"Eh?? No, no... No thanks! This is a joke, a joke! Dry food is delicious! Well, I like vegetarian dry food the best!"

Kurohō was frightened by Asuna's words "no need to eat", and immediately withdrew his hand that was touching the horse. He wiped the saliva that had appeared on the corner of his mouth at some point, and then waved his hands and said against his will that he liked dry food.

"Please don't scare Hei Tong like this."

Akame protested behind Asuna, who was obviously trying to scare her sister.

"If she doesn't eat the horse."

Asuna shrugged indifferently, then drove the horse towards the next city.

However, even though the two sisters were fed a lot of meat last night, their figures cannot be changed overnight, so throughout the journey, Asuna was still uncomfortable all over because of the two human-shaped ribs in front and behind.

In this extremely uncomfortable endurance, Asuna came to a new and unfamiliar city with her red and black eyes.

The empire did not prohibit population movement, so people did not need passes to go to different cities.

In addition, although this country has a household registration system to a certain extent, this household registration system is mainly used for taxation and conscription, as well as for catching criminals. There is no need to show household registration when staying in a hotel, which saves Asuna a lot of effort.

There is nothing special about this new city compared to the previous one, it is just relatively prosperous.

After arriving here, Asuna immediately bought new clothes for the two sisters, which made Akame and Kurome touched and cheered.

Although he did not need the care of these sisters in his daily life, for some reason, whenever he left them behind, these two girls would catch up to him very accurately not long after.

Obviously, his prop cloak was not ineffective, but the two sisters were still able to find him with incredible accuracy as if they were equipped with positioning radar.

As time went by, Asuna got used to the presence of the two sisters.

The following days were not too different from the previous ones.

Asuna traveled around the country with the two little ones, and when she encountered some blind gangs or gangs with extremely bad reputations, she would clean them up.

The fact that his cloak was effective was proven by testing it on these small organizations.

However, even so, Asuna still had no clue about her mission and could only travel between cities over and over again until winter came.

Akame and Kurome, the sisters who have a deep obsession with meat, eat much more than the average child. During the past two months, with Asuna's various feedings, they are gradually no longer the skinny and bony appearance before, but surprisingly, become quite cute.

Although following Asuna, the "dangerous species hunter", made them eat a lot of dangerous species meat, and even overeat from time to time, the two sisters still maintained a very good body shape.

It seemed that the excess nutrients were used to restore the losses in childhood, so they did not swell into two lumps of flesh in just a few months as Asuna had imagined.

13 The Situation of the Empire

During these two months, the sisters' cooking skills improved significantly every day thanks to Asuna's constant supply of dangerous ingredients.

There was no other way. Every time she cooked, Asuna would let them prepare their own dishes first. After they finished eating her not-so-tasty dishes, Asuna would push her own dishes in front of them. With her overwhelming advantage, she would make them realize the distance between them again.

Under such a strong contrast, the cooking skills of the sisters Akame and Kurome quickly made a breakthrough. Although they still couldn't catch up with Asuna's cooking skills, if they were asked to grill meat at ordinary meal times, the taste would definitely be much better than those of the chefs.

However, their only problem is that the meat and vegetables are not matched.

After all, they spent most of their time in the wild, and nine out of ten meals were the flesh and blood of dangerous species. However, even in the town, when Asuna asked them to go shopping, they only bought meat for some reason and didn't even think about buying vegetables or fruits.

During these two months, the relationship between the three has made great progress. If nothing else, at least Akame and Kurome are no longer timid when talking to Asuna.

In addition, a major event that concerned everyone in the country actually happened in these two months—the little prince who was still a toddler and supported by Minister Ernest stood out from many heirs and successfully ascended the throne.

Since the emperor is still young and has no ability to govern, Minister Ernest can be said to have the final say in the court.

However, he cannot do whatever he wants, because there is still General Bud to check and balance him.

But even so, the little emperor's right to education was taken away by the ministers.

Therefore, Asuna estimated that by the time the little emperor was able to speak, General Budd, who was said to be very loyal, upright and old-fashioned, would no longer be able to confront Minister Ernest.

After all, being old-fashioned and blindly loyal is a very big problem.

At that time, the ministers only need to manipulate the emperor to indirectly check and balance him or even directly control him. At that time, no one in the country will be able to resist the ministers.

At that time, Asuna would have to go to the imperial capital to take a special look at those in power.

However, if the "evil" that he needs to kill is really them, then with their death, this huge and ancient empire may be in chaos.

If war breaks out as a result, Asuna will need to think twice before acting.

At least, we have to complete the task while ensuring the stability of the people.

On this day, in the eastern part of the empire in late autumn, Asuna was still traveling with the two little ones.

Because she hunted down many dangerous species, Asuna also obtained a lot of currency in this world. The original horse has now been upgraded and turned into a carriage.

However, because there were many places where carriages were inconvenient to drive and people could only travel on horseback, Asuna bought two horses in addition to the carriage. However, because the two children, Akame and Kurome, were too young, they had no way of riding the horses properly, so in the end they could only let Asuna hug them from the front and back and sit on the horses together, just like at the beginning.

Fortunately, both of them have been fattened up by Asuna and are no longer as annoying as before.

At night, the three of them took a bath by the river in the mountains.

Because Asuna has a strong sense of perception, they don't have to worry about someone suddenly appearing and snatching their clothes or peeping at them while they are taking a bath.

As for dangerous species?

Even if there was originally, it would have long since turned into sashimi and been eaten by Akame and Heimei, so there would naturally be no danger.

Just as Asuna was bathing in the river, thinking about something while looking at her reflection in the water, she suddenly felt a familiar gaze from behind, which was not hostile but full of curiosity, observing her in the dark.

Asuna sighed helplessly: "Kurotō, what are you doing?"

"Huh?" Hei Tong, whose identity was revealed, exclaimed and walked out from behind the stone in surprise, "Why did An know it was me?"

"Haha, just a blind guess."

Asuna smiled faintly and said perfunctorily.

"You're lying. How can you always guess who approached from behind? When my sister called you to eat at noon, you also guessed it was my sister."

Hei Tong immediately retorted in dissatisfaction.

"If you don't believe me, forget it." Asuna shrugged and prepared to continue wiping her body.

"Hey, Flash, can I help you wash it?"

"Huh? It's good enough that you can wash it yourself, but you still need to help me wash it?"

"It's very clean! My sister washed it for me! I washed my sister too! So...you can join in too!"

"Forget it. I'm not used to taking a shower with others."

"What's wrong with that? It's only natural for family members to say that!"

Xiao Hei Tong jumped directly into the water, walked over, raised his head and looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Okay, okay, just give me a good bath. I won't do it for you. I'm not your babysitter..."

"How could that be! My sister and I consider you as family!"

"I am not your family. I just kidnapped you and treated you as a bad guy."

"Not at all!"

"I mean it, come and take a bath and don't touch me, or I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

"This is the river~! And if I want to eat, I'm fine with fish~!"

Asuna: "..."

Seeing that he had left Asuna speechless, Kuroneki came closer again and strongly expressed his desire to help her wash.

Feeling that she would probably continue to be annoyed if she continued like this, Asuna simply handed the towel to Kuroneko.

"Hehe~ Although she's a bit cold, she's surprisingly nice."

"Hey, you're so nagging. Work hard, or you'll have to eat vegetarian breakfast tomorrow."

"Hey, no! It's just a joke, just a joke!"

Hei Tong, who was worried about being cheated, was much easier to deal with than he imagined.

As long as she threatened him casually in this regard, the child would easily surrender. So, under the threat of meat, Kuroyori concentrated on wiping Asuna's back with a towel.

"Shining's skin is very smooth, not at all like the skin of a bad guy. Was Shining the eldest daughter of a big family?"

"more or less."

Asuna said perfunctorily.

"But, if you are the eldest lady, then why did you become a bad person, Flash? You don't look like a bad person at all."

Besides, he was so kind to me and my sister...

14 Conversation with Sisters

Thinking of this, Kuronetō gently slid her slender fingertips from Asuna's shoulders to her waist.

"Besides, since you are so powerful, you must have brought us along for some special reason."

"Huh? Hei Tong, who is obviously just a foodie, can actually make this level of analysis?"

Asuna muttered quietly, but Kuroyon still heard it.

"Don't underestimate me! I'm also very smart!"

"Oh, in that case, we'll eat meat tomorrow morning and you can eat vegetarian."

"——Hey, hey, hey! No! I apologize! Don't be so excessive! I want to eat meat!"

"Ah, you're so noisy, Hei Tong, be quiet!"

"Woo..."

In the end, the young Kuronetsu was easily suppressed by Asuna. She continued to rub her back with a look of grievance, and couldn't utter a word of no.
