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

Shayou calmed down a bit, but the joy in her eyes did not diminish at all.

Asuna glanced down and saw that Tatsumi was playing very aggressively and was having a very intense fight with the guy opposite him.

"I remember that your purpose of coming to the imperial capital was to make a lot of money, get ahead, and then save the village, right?"

Asuna stroked her chin, organized her words, and continued, "If that's the case, then becoming a general's husband, well, although after marriage it is very likely that you will marry into the family, and the children will have to take Esdeath's last name... Eh? What was Esdeath's last name?"

Shayou: “…”

Kayaba Jingyan: "..."

At this point, Asuna couldn't help but be stunned.

I've always wanted to kill her, but after all this time I don't even know her last name?

Isn't this a bit disrespectful?

"Yvis, do you know the specific name of General Esdeath?"

Kayaba Akie: “Ah, this!”

Asuna: "You don't know either?"

Kayaba Jingyan quickly looked through the information in her mind, and finally realized that she really didn't know!

"It is said that General Esdeath is from a minority ethnic group on the border of the empire. Perhaps this is their custom."

If she were wearing glasses, Kayaba Akihabara would really like to push up her frames at this moment "to show respect."

"Oh, is that so..." Asuna thought about it and suddenly realized that the names of the people in this world are simply "xxx", with nothing else in them.

"In this case, when she really gives birth to a child, should she just name it Ai or give it a new name..."

"Well, with General Esdeath's personality, she might look down on men who are weaker than her. Child... that shouldn't be possible."

Kayaba Jingyan said with some reluctance.

Shayou: “…”

We were just discussing which of my compatriots has a poor sense of direction, why did we suddenly get to the question of whether General Esdeath can have children? !

A burst of enthusiastic cheers interrupted the three people's thoughts.

"Huh? Won? Pretty fast, this kid."

Asuna looked at the sweaty Tatsumi with some surprise. She had thought that this guy would be a little more firm, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Is it because he can't continue acting? I haven't seen him fix the game. Oh, he didn't lose, so it's not a fixed game.

……

……

In the arena.

"I didn't realize you were so good that you actually won."

The staff member who was previously responsible for providing Tatsumi with weapons had a look of amazement on his face.

"Forehead……"

Tatsumi's mouth twitched and he handed over the sword.

"If I could win the competition with a broken sword like this, I would have tried it..."

Hearing the staff's whispers, Tatsumi walked aside with him with a blank expression to make way for the next contestant.

Afterwards, the staff member gave him a new number tag, said, "Report early tomorrow," and left muttering to himself.

Looking at his expression, he seemed to regret not signing up for the competition.

"Do I look so weak..." Tatsumi scratched his head.

……

……

"Um... Sir, are we still accepting people in our mansion?"

In the stands, seeing that Tatsumi's figure had completely disappeared from her sight, Sau hurriedly walked up to Asuna and asked.

“There is definitely a shortage of manpower, but not everyone can come in.”

Asuna quickly scanned the entire venue, but did not spot the other members of the Night Raid.

"Tatsumi's strength is... okay. With a little training, he can be used as a guard!"

"If he can make the top ten, go ask him again."

Asuna waved her hand, not thinking that the trainee assassin from the night raid would join them.

"Yes!"

On the contrary, Sayou seems to be full of confidence.

97 Asuna's Condition

"The battle of Tatsumi is over, let's go."

"Ah."

In the stands, Leone, who had been disguised, said to Lubbock.

After all, Tatsumi is a member of the Night Raid, so it is impossible for them to let him attend an event organized by his rivals alone.

And Leone and Labberk have been in the imperial capital for a long time, so there won't be any big problems if they take over.

Tatsumi’s victory or defeat is not important. The key is the information about Esdeath on the stands above.

But now it seems that their visit was worth it.

"The three beast warriors under Esdeath. I haven't seen the others much, but the fact that they can follow Esdeath speaks volumes."

Leone pushed the crowd away and pulled Lubbock out of the arena.

Not everyone has plenty of free time to waste their precious time on "watching a show". In the imperial capital, most people are just barely making ends meet, so many people are like Leone and the others. After watching for a while, they go back to continue their work.

Just like that, the two assassins from the rebel army blended into the crowd and left smoothly.

The reason why Asuna didn't notice them before was because there were too many people here and it was inevitable that she would miss them.

Not long after, Leone and Lubbock returned to their base in the imperial capital, well, it was still the bookstore.

And Tatsumi has been waiting here for a long time.

"Not bad, kid. Keep working hard tomorrow and strive for first place."

Lubbock patted Tatsumi's shoulder and said with a smile.

"First place... forget it." Tatsumi waved his hands and said with a wry smile: "I don't have the strength to feed a tiger with my own body."

"Hey, you're not happy with the rich woman on the list..." Lubbock muttered quietly.

"Alright, alright." Leone patted Lubbock's head unhappily and said to Tatsumi, "Do you want to stay here today, or go back with us?"

"Well... let's go back." Tatsumi said after hesitating for a moment.

After all, he had nowhere else to go in the imperial capital, and even the money... well, the bag of bounty that was "cheated" away by Leone had long been used as public funds.

As for wages, that is even more impossible.

With nowhere to go and no money, why is he still here?

It would be better for him to go back to the base and find his good brother to continue training and surpass me.

"Okay." Leone nodded without thinking too much.

The three of them separated and left the city one after another and returned to the base for the night attack.

……

……

Arena.

When today's competition was completely over, Esdeath brought her large group of subordinates over to chat with Asuna.

After all, they were both generals of the imperial capital, and both were women. Although they did not have many common topics, neither of them was the type to procrastinate.

Asuna had long known that the other party wanted to fight with her, and the fighting spirit in Esdeath's eyes was undisguised, so when she asked Asuna to have a sparring match with her, Asuna agreed very readily.

However, this competition can only take place after Esdeath has wiped out the Night Raid Organization and put down the civil unrest in the empire.

Asuna's reason was: "I can't fight you halfway and then you receive the emperor's order to return to the southern part of the empire to suppress those rebels."

Although she felt Asuna's reason was a bit strange, Esdeath still agreed. After all, her own mission was to stay in the southern part of the empire. The reason why she had not wiped out those rebels over the years was simply because if she wiped them out, she would have no fun.

And now, when Asuna met her demands, those rebels no longer had any need to exist in Esdeath's eyes.

Moreover, over the years, Esdeath also heard how Asuna governed the North and the West. In her opinion, Asuna was the type who loved her people like her own children.

Well, although her soldiers and people are very strange, just like those fanatics of the Anning Cult...

In Esdeath's opinion, the reason why Asuna proposed the crowdfunding group ④五⑥一②７９④０ was because she didn't want the people in the southern part of the empire to suffer anymore, so she readily agreed.

Because, this is really not a difficult thing for her.

Just like that, after getting the response she wanted, Esdeath left satisfied.

However, what Esdeath didn't know was that the reason Asuna made this request was just to use Esdeath's hand to help her quell the war within the empire.

At that time, he could lead his troops south with peace of mind without having to worry about those rebels and the like causing trouble for him.

After Esdeath has dealt with the night attack and quelled the civil unrest in the empire, it will be time for Asuna to take action against them.

……

……

After Esdeath and her group disappeared completely, Asuna said to Kayaba Akie, "Her strength is quite good, only slightly inferior to yours."

"Besides, if she has any hidden cards, even you won't have much of an advantage."

A hint of surprise flashed across Kayaba Jingyan's eyes: "So strong?"

She is no longer a helpless scientific researcher.

I have actually fought in SAO, and in this world, I have been fighting with Asuna until now, so I naturally have a lot of practical experience.

Moreover, her physical fitness is even better. If one really wants to find the difference between the two, it would probably be the lack of an imperial weapon.

"Who told you that you don't know magic?"

Asuna thought about it and said in a slightly frivolous tone.

"Remember to be careful when you face her next time."

Kayaba Akigao nodded, "I understand."

"magic?"

Shayou tilted her head, confused.

Could it be that Mask-sama also likes to read those weird biographical novels? !

After all, she was just a child of common origin and had no access to the secrets deep in this world.

It's like an imperial weapon.

Anyone with a little bit of strength knows about this thing, but no one knows how the imperial weapon was made, let alone where the power of the imperial weapon came from.

"Let's go." Asuna turned around. "Oh, by the way, do you want to go look for your friend who has a poor sense of direction?"

When Shayou heard this, she suddenly turned around and looked at the arena below.

Tatsumi was no longer there.

Shayou: "..."

That guy, how can he run so fast!!!

Sayou gritted her teeth in anger.

"Hu-hu-"

"No need, Mr. Mask. We'll teach that guy a lesson later!"
