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

"Belle, you can call me senior from now on."

On the way, Asuna suddenly had an idea and said this to Belle.

"Eh? Why?"

Belle was stunned and asked in confusion, "Senior...it seems to sound good."

"Yes, mother, why should Sister Belle call you senior?"

Alisa stood in the middle of the group, with her left and right hands held by Asuna and Belle respectively.

"I always feel that it sounds better to call me that. Besides, the crowdfunding group ④⑤六一②七九４０ keeps calling me Miss Asuna, which always makes me feel a little distant."

Asuna didn't know why, but she just felt that it was a good idea.

"That……"

Belle hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her pale pink lips and said:

"Asuna...senpai?"

"No, no, no, just senior is enough."

"It feels so strange..." Belle said softly. After a while, she called Asuna "Senior" again.

Asuna didn't seem very satisfied. "You didn't put yourself in that situation, Belle-chan! It's too bland!"

"Well, forget it. I'll teach you how to become a perfect junior after I finish my training in the dungeon!"

"I always feel that what you said is not a good thing..."

Belle said helplessly.

"Forget it, Belle-chan, just call me Asuna. Calling me 'senpai' doesn't make me feel 'heart-warming'."

Heartbroken?

Belle fell into deep thought.

I feel like the "heart-throb" I'm thinking of and the "heart-throb" Asuna-san is thinking of are two completely different things.

Between the two of them, Alyssa raised her head and looked left and right at her cheap sister and cheap mother, feeling very confused.

What are you guys talking about? I feel like there's something else going on. Why can't I understand?

Sure enough, is it because I am too young?

Chapter 28: Unknown Dreams, Unable to Advance the Expedition

The dream without end continues in hesitation.

In the tent, Asuna sat up suddenly, her smooth forehead covered with sweat.

"Ha ha……"

She was breathing heavily, her eyes full of confusion.

"What on earth did I dream about..."

Asuna held her head with both hands and groaned in pain.

Although she seemed to have experienced many things in her dream, when Asuna woke up, she did not have any corresponding memory in her mind.

In fact, every time I tried to recall what happened in my dream, I would feel a sharp pain deep in my mind.

Today is the second week that Asuna has been training alone in the dungeon.

The dream, whose content was unknown, began on the first night she entered the dungeon.

These days, Asuna basically killed monsters and leveled up in a state of insufficient energy, which reduced the speed at which her ability values ​​increased by a few points.

“Is it because of the dungeon?”

Asuna covered her head with one hand, and waited until the tingling sensation in her head slowly subsided before she lay down on the sleeping mat with a weak look on her face.

An unhealthy blush appeared on Asuna's cheeks, and traces of sweat soaked her chestnut-colored hair, sticking it to her forehead and ears. She looked like she had experienced some intense exercise and was lying in bed slowly recovering.

Asuna raised her arm to her forehead and took a few deep breaths.

"Let's go back today..."

My condition is getting worse and worse, and the SAO system panel that followed me to this world, and might even be the culprit for my time travel, didn't give me any help at all.

There is no negative status displayed on the personal data panel.

Asuna had tried the [Recovery Crystals] and [Detoxification Crystals] in the warehouse, but they had no effect at all.

If possible, Asuna would like to have a function similar to body detection on this system panel, so that even if there is any problem with her body, she can find it in the first time (probably?)

After lying on the sleeping bag for a while and barely regaining her strength, Asuna finally got up from the sleeping bag.

With a tap of her fingers, the armor in the warehouse was put on directly, and then Asuna put the pajamas inside the armor into the warehouse.

In SAO, in order to prevent Heathcliff from using background permissions to "spy" on her life, Asuna has developed good "living habits"!

After solving the breakfast problem in the tent, Asuna folded up the tent, then put away the "monster-exorcising props" she had placed around her, and then held the rapier and walked towards the passage leading to the upper level.

If it weren't for this unrememberable dream and the strange headache, Asuna might have stayed down there for a few more days. However, for her own safety, Asuna decided to go back early to ask Hestia to check on her.

After all, as the god who bestowed [favor] upon her, Hestia might not have much experience, but when she chatted with her fellow gods, she would definitely hear some relevant news, right?

What Asuna didn't know was that just as she was about to return home, a riot broke out deep in the dungeon.

……

……

"Livilia! Use magic to get rid of these monsters!

Grace, organize the members of the clan to resist carefully and delay for as long as possible. Don't take too many risks! ! "

"Oh, I know, Finn!"

"Well, how could this old man let these children die here?!"

"Tione, Tiona, your weapons have been corroded, quickly escort the supporters to evacuate first!

The monsters on the upper floor are probably no match for you! If you don't want your clothes to be corroded, take them away quickly!

Bert, you and Aisi, hurry up and help clear out the monsters that Livilia's magic can't reach!"

"Ah...if it's the captain...well, don't cover my mouth, Tiona!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, Captain! My sister and I will definitely protect them!"

"Tsk, trouble."

"I see."

On a hillside that was nearly half broken, Finn was holding a spear that was much longer than him, with a frown on his face.

The expedition failed.

This thought only appeared in Finn's mind for a second before he ruthlessly drove it away.

Because, compared to the failure of the expedition, he cared more about the damage to his family members.

Fortunately, because the two sisters Tione and Tiona discovered it in time, so far, the members who followed them on the expedition to this level have not suffered any injuries.

They were at the entrance of the cave on the previous level, but huge, corrosive caterpillars kept pouring out of the ground. Even though Livilia had used large-scale magic to clean it up not long ago, at this rate, they would probably be trapped on this level by these monsters soon.

Fortunately, the expedition team that appeared at this level today are adventurers from Loki's clan.

There are three of them who are at level 6 alone, so breaking through is not a problem at all for them.

Now they just need to wait for the supporters to leave this level before they can evacuate, but...

Finn looked up and saw the monsters constantly emerging from the rock formations above the floor, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"If... this kind of monster can act across classes..."

Once the monsters from the deep layers go to the upper layers, the monsters originally on the upper layers will continue to move to higher layers out of fear in order to avoid the monsters from the deep layers.

At that time, a large number of monsters will come like waves and sweep across the upper levels. For those unprepared adventurers, it can be said to be a natural disaster! An inevitable end!

"We have to get rid of them quickly!"

Hopefully, there are adventurers strong enough in the middle level who can discover the monsters' "backflow" and stop them on a certain floor. Otherwise...

The fate of Zeus's family is the best reference for Loki's family.

"Everyone, don't fight any longer! Start retreating!"

Seeing that the support team had evacuated from this floor, Finn hurriedly shouted to the others.

"Livilia, use magic to destroy the passage on this floor!"

"I know it without you having to tell me."

Livilia spoke very quickly, waving the staff in her hand, destroying the passage behind her.

In the broken boulders, ice blades flashing with cold light densely filled the gaps in the rubble. In this way, even if the monsters passed through this layer of rubble, they would lose some of their bodies because of the ice blades.

But when they arrived at the upper floor, they found that the support team escorted by Tione had not gone far, because, on this floor, there were still those huge caterpillar monsters!

However, compared to the floor they just escaped from, the number is relatively small.

Moreover, many "caterpillars" were emerging from the ground and launching a "suicide attack" on them.

Finn, Livilia, and Grace all had a hint of worry in their eyes.

This worry was not directed at themselves, but at the middle and upper-level adventurers.

Chapter 29 In the back? Need help? Want clothes?

"Whoa!"

"Oh no, they are about to catch up!"

"Damn it, there are too many!"

"If the weapons were still there..."

"Even if the weapons are still there, we can't go back to fight! Our supporters still need our protection!"

"Ahhh, I know, sis!"

"Everyone, work harder!"

"The floor ahead is where the floor owner is. Those monsters no longer dare to pass through this floor!"

"That's right, as long as we pass the next floor we will be safe!"

Behind me, there was suddenly a noisy sound, as if a large number of wild beasts were running wildly together, trampling the ground, making a rumbling sound.

Amid the trampling sounds that came like a wave, there were several human voices mixed in. However, judging from the hurried tone, it seemed that the other party was running for their lives.

"what happened?"

Asuna stopped and looked back.

There was no telling how many magic stones were stored in her warehouse. Anyway, those 99+ grids were already filled up.

Asuna no longer has to worry about the loss of magic power when using sword skills, so even if there is a tide of monsters, Asuna is not too worried, because in her eyes, those monsters are just buy-one-get-one-free batteries, and she can kill one as soon as it comes.

In addition, this is a passage with no other way to go. All he needs to do is use his sword skills and those monsters will have no choice but to take their lives. Unless there is a time traveler among them who holds up seven petals with one hand and rushes over with a sword in the other to chop Asuna, otherwise, these monsters will definitely die.

The heavy and noisy trampling sound came like waves.

And the adventurers finally appeared in Asuna's field of vision.

"Supporters?"

Those fleeing adventurers, each carrying a backpack several people tall? !

But apart from the anxiety of escaping, there was not a single sign of fatigue on his face?

Others seemed to be the forging masters of the [Hephaestus Family], carrying many forging tools on their backs, but again, there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.

It seemed as if this desperate escape was just like an everyday sprint.

"Hey! Adventurers in front! Run! There are too many monsters behind us, we can't stop them!"

Tione shouted as she saw a mysterious cloaked adventurer standing in front of her with a rapier in his hand, looking like he wanted to fight.
