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

She reached out for the cut fruit on the coffee table and began to eat it in small bites.

Asuna didn't want to be punished to do some weird questions for disturbing her mother.

You know, she's just a high school student, but Kyoko Yui is a pretty serious university professor.

Although Asuna has performed very well since she was young, Kyoko Yuuki has higher expectations of her because of this.

He often uses strange things to make Asuna do some topics that she should not be able to touch now.

Thanks to this, Asuna had no idea how much knowledge she had been exposed to that could only be learned in college.

However, only Asuna herself can understand the sadness and pain.

The 30 minutes of gaming time every day is only obtained with the help of her brother, Koichiro Yuki. It's really pitiful.

“What are you going to do after you graduate from college?”

"Eh?"

“With your grades, getting into a good university shouldn’t be a problem.

Not enough, what do you want to do after graduation?"

"I haven't even started to think about this yet..."

"As for your father's company, your brother is doing pretty well at the moment. If you want to help him, that's fine.

If you don't want to get involved, how about teaching at a university like me?

Or are you planning on doing something else?"

"Probably... I will go out and do something I want to do first..."

"Is that so... Then you should start preparing now to see if you can live the life you like after graduation.

If not, come back.

However, you will have to follow your family’s arrangements when the time comes.”

"...yes...mom."

"I have already dismissed your tutors. Given your grades, they are not very useful. If you need any books, just tell me directly."

"Yeah... I understand... Mom..."

From beginning to end, Kyoko Yui's eyes were always on the document in her hand.

Asuna ate a few pieces of fruit absentmindedly and then hurried upstairs.

……

……

Asuna's room is not very big and there is nothing else in it.

The whole room has a bed, a dressing table, a desk, an automatic wardrobe, a table and a small cabinet.

Compared with the furniture in other young ladies' bedrooms, it can be said to be very simple.

The room was simple and tidy, not messy at all. The single bed with light pink sheets seemed a bit small.

There were only some skin care products on the dressing table, which seemed a bit empty and without any luxury items.

On the small table beside the bed, there was a white teapot and teacups, which were convenient for Asuna to refresh herself when studying at night.

"Wow... the arrangement at home..."

Asuna lay on her neat bed with her back facing up, her arms draped over her face to shield her bright eyes, and she groaned as if she had a headache.

Join your family business directly after graduating from college? Help your brother run the company?

Then, like your father, you will work hard for the family business all your life?

Striving to be a young educator, like your mom?

Then, under the arrangement of her parents, she would find a stranger of equal status to marry and have children?

Or, after graduating from college, pursue your "dream" that has not yet appeared?

Then face the reality and eventually have to go home and accept the arrangement of the family? Like the second option, find a stranger to marry?

"The tutor has been fired... Can you let me arrange my own time and do what I want?"

Asuna turned over, her long chestnut hair unevenly spread on the light pink bed.

Under pressure, the fullness of her breasts made Asuna feel a little uncomfortable, so she lay sideways on the bed.

There was a hint of distress in his eyes, but then he thought that he was still a high school student and there were still several years before he graduated from college.

It seems like it’s too early to think about getting married!

“Start saving money now!”

"No... I have to get back the money my brother borrowed from me first!

He used my New Year's money to buy so many game consoles. Now that he has a job, it's time for him to pay me back!

When the time comes, I will ask my brother to give me a few million dollars, and then I will have some security for my life!"

"But... in the future... what kind of job should I do?"

Asuna returned to her back-to-back position, thinking about her future plans for being single.

Start a business, go bankrupt, don’t want to go home, have nowhere else to go, shoot A…!!!

No, no, no, no way!!!

Asuna covered her face with her hands, her face flushed red, feeling extremely shocked and ashamed of her shameless thoughts!

Why would I think of such a weird way to make money? ! ! !

"As expected, you should study hard now... At least... If you really can't do it, becoming a high school teacher wouldn't be bad, right?"

Oh, and I have to practice self-defense! Otherwise, it’s too dangerous to be outside alone!

When Asuna thought about the possibility that she might be dragged into a dark alley in the future, or even forced to do something bad, she couldn't help but want to poke big holes in those guys' bodies with her sword!

"Eh? Why... did I think of stabbing them with a rapier?"

Asuna muttered in confusion while covering her face with her hands.

That kind of scum should be killed without mercy, right?

"No, no, no! This idea is obviously more dangerous, right?! Besides, I don't have a rapier like in the game!"

"Could it be that I am too addicted to games?"

But... I only play games for half an hour every day... How could I be addicted to it?

I always feel... that I am a little weird...

Chapter 12 Leafa

the next day.

"let me see……"

After clicking on the friend list and confirming Maple's location, Asuna took out the transfer crystal she had just bought yesterday and crushed it with great fanfare.

After talking with her mother yesterday, Asuna rarely had to face the tutors.

After lying in bed and thinking about some meaningless things, she entered a state of self-study.

The habits she has developed over the years are quite good. At least without anyone supervising her, Asuna can study from morning to night.

The half-hour gaming time every day remained unchanged. She didn't want to have to go home and accept her parents' arrangements because of life problems after graduation.

“Uwaa ...

Maple's somewhat insane shouting could be heard in my ears.

Seems to be scared?

Asuna walked out of the blue light and shook her head helplessly.

"How much do you like eating monsters..."

The scene before my eyes was a black-haired girl, enduring the attacks from other monsters, desperately hugging a monster and biting it.

Below the girl and the monster, a square shield that looked like it had a metallic texture was ruthlessly abandoned.

The owner of the square shield chose to use his amazing teeth as a weapon to attack.

but……

"This series of misses is too unfair~!"

Asuna looked at the "Miss" emerging from Maple and couldn't help but complain.

"Oooooh... Asuna's barrier... Great..."

Maple shouted incoherently, and around her, the monsters seemed to have completely lost their strength.

With the weapon in his hand, he struck Maple weakly.

It seems... that he is exhausted both physically and mentally by this extremely high defense that cannot be broken?

"Monsters also have stamina values? Or fatigue values?"

This was the first time Asuna saw someone pushing a monster to this extent!

They actually lost all interest in attacking, and just a few hits seemed to be enough to deal with the problem.

The monster that was bitten madly by Maple slapped Maple's slender back with its hands in despair.

But... no matter how you look at it, that scene looks like an adult comforting a naughty child!

"Well... I think... Maple, you don't seem to need my help~"

Asuna opened the game's recording function with great interest. I wonder what Maple's expression would be when she saw her~ (laughs)

"boom!"

With a crisp bang, the monster that had been eaten by Maple for half a day was finally freed.

The moment the monster disappeared, Asuna seemed to see its look of relief!

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Seeing that unlucky guy disappear completely, there was a commotion among the group of monsters!

The orcs holding sticks retreated one by one, and rudely pushed the monster in front of them towards Maple.

It seems that they want to change an unlucky guy, and then let them continue to slack off and attack to complete today's task.

"Why did they all run away? Are all the monsters in SAO highly intelligent?"

"No... they just don't want to attack you, a player who would be completely fruitless even if they attacked..."

"Eh?! Is it so weird?"

"By the way, is this monster delicious?"

"It's not tasty. It seems like all the monsters here taste the same."

Maple stuck out her tongue and held up the square shield on the ground.

And those monsters who had been massaging her back, head, shoulders, legs and buttocks were very considerate and pretended not to see the two of them.

Wandering around, and going further and further...

"No... maybe there's something wrong with this game..."

Asuna took Maple's hand and led her to another leveling point, while complaining helplessly.

"Eh? Is that so?"

Maple raised her head and looked up at Asuna, and said in confusion.

"perhaps……"

Due to time constraints, Asuna cannot help Maple level up quickly.

So, she specially called another person today.

"Lifa-chan, I'm in the maze area on the 43rd floor. Are you there yet?"
