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

The inexplicable tiredness and the sleepiness that shouldn't have occurred in half an hour of gaming made her feel that she must have forgotten something.

Moreover, that matter seems to be very important?

She stared at the light-colored ceiling in a trance. Under the relatively gentle light, a strong sense of sleepiness came over her. Her eyelids kept opening and closing, starting a difficult tug-of-war.

"Haah~"

"No... I really want to... sleep..."

After Asuna closed her eyes one time, she could no longer resist the sleepiness from the bottom of her heart. She yawned lightly and fell asleep peacefully hugging the pillow in her arms.

“Tick-tick-tick-tick~”

The clock in the room ticked slower and slower, and finally, with the appearance of a figure, it stopped completely.

"If possible, I really don't want to come here a second time..."

The girl in kimono slowly placed her fair little hand on Asuna's head, making Asuna forget her previous doubts.

After all, people always forget some things after waking up.

"That tree is so troublesome..."

The little hand left Asuna's forehead, Lianhua turned around, and sat down beside Asuna's bed.

When Lianhua thought about how she almost turned into fertilizer when she came in just now, she felt a palpitation in her heart, because she clearly felt that the tree really wanted to turn her into fertilizer and absorb her just now!

Chapter 29 Enter

Three days later in the morning.

Asuna received a message from Leafa on her phone.

Leafa: Asuna, my brother's mission has been completed. You haven't come online today, right?

Asuna: Not yet. I'll go find you on which floor you are on.

Leafa: Okay, we're...

Asuna put down her phone, glanced at the notes on the desk, gently closed the book, and with her white arms, she pushed the chair under her back.

"Squeak ~ squeak ~"

A slight friction sound was heard in this simple room.

"After I finish this dungeon today, I'll probably be able to relax for a while."

Asuna stood up and stretched, her eyes narrowed slightly, looking a little lazy.

She was wearing a loose T-shirt, and her long chestnut hair fell behind her like a waterfall, outlining an alluring curve as her body moved. The fullness of her chest lifted the T-shirt high, revealing her flat belly faintly, making people want to hug her from behind.

After stretching her body a bit, Asuna bent down slightly and took out the stealth device from the drawer of the desk.

Asuna tucked her hair behind her ears and sat on her single bed. After putting the stealth device on her head, she instinctively twisted her body and rested her head accurately on the pillow.

……

……

"Hey, long time no see, Asuna."

"Hey, Asuna!"

"You're so slow, Asuna-san~!"

A blue light descended from the sky, and Asuna's figure appeared in front of them after the light disappeared.

A certain black-clad swordsman crossed his arms, leaned against a large tree, and greeted Asuna.

However, because Leafa and Maple had their backs to Asuna, they did not notice Asuna's arrival immediately.

On the contrary, a certain black-clad swordsman who was pretending to be cool nearby struck a pose the moment the light of the "Transfer Crystal" came on, and he did look very handsome at first glance.

However, after coming to my senses, it gives me a very immature feeling.

Beside him, Leafa and Maple were squatting and fiddling with the grass on the ground with their hands, looking like they were playing some game.

They seemed to be so engrossed in the game that they didn't realize Asuna had arrived until Kirito's voice rang out.

The two girls, each with their own unique style, stood up and greeted Asuna.

"Well, long time no see everyone."

Asuna smiled and greeted the three people present.

"What were you playing just now? You were so engrossed in it?"

She looked at Leafa and Maple who had just stood up.

Leafa's outfit was similar to Kirito's, she was also wearing a coat, but it was not black.

If this wasn't a game, I would be so hot wearing a coat in this summer scene that I would probably die of heat.

However, if you look at them from a distance and don't know their identities, you might think they are a couple of players.

After all, two players, a man and a woman, were wearing similar couple outfits, and they looked very close. Anyone would definitely misunderstand them.

However, compared to Leafa and Kirito's mischievous couple outfits, Maple's equipment was brand new, as if she had been working overtime to upgrade and earn money for equipment in the past three days.

At this moment, after hearing Asuna's words, Leafa and Maple looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

We can't say that we are just too bored and are just pulling weeds for fun, right?

Leafa winked at Maple.

Maple's face fell, her brows knitted slightly, and she nodded to Asuna in a serious manner...

Clicked a little...

Clicked...

point……

point

Asuna: ???

"Well...well, let's compare the grass in real life and in the game. What's the difference?"

"Ha...hahaha...ha, yes, that's right, Asuna!"

Seeing Asuna looking at her with a puzzled look and nodding continuously, Maple said something in a hurry.

When Leafa heard this, she quickly followed up on Maple's topic and said that this was exactly the case.

"Well~ Let's just leave it at that..." Asuna smiled with her eyes and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she did not expose their childish words.

Maple: “…”

Leafa: “…”

clap~

Suddenly, the black-clad swordsman, who was still leaning against the tree with his arms around his chest, exerted force on his back, straightened his body, and clapped his hands, attracting the attention of Asuna and the others.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go into the dungeon." The black-clad swordsman, who had been completing the mission for three days, just wanted to find a boss to kill alone, to wash away the shame of his death due to disconnection. "Everyone, are you ready?"

"Well, let's start." Asuna nodded. She was also very curious about what kind of monsters they would encounter in this copy.

The dungeon activities these days are really completely different from previous dungeons.

It can be said that authenticity is everywhere.

The first time, the giant cats devoured each other, and the whole process seemed like real animals eating. The blood and torn meat were clearly visible, which can be said to be 100% restored.

Generally speaking, this kind of scene will not appear in games like SAO. Even if ordinary monsters appear to "eat each other", the blood and wounds that appear will only be replaced by red light, and the predation scene between creatures will not be truly restored at all.

And the white fox copy that they had just passed three days ago.

Its authenticity also goes beyond what a game should have.

The heat of the flames and the screams of the white fox are still vivid in my mind.

The white fox was devoured by the red fire, biting the flames desperately to devour it. The red fire burned the white fox's body, and the sparks and the smell of burnt flesh and blood could still be smelled.

But Kirito-kun was really lucky, as he was disconnected due to network issues before the butterflies turned into flames and burned him.

Otherwise, maybe I could ask him what it feels like to be burned by fire.

Thinking of this, Asuna suddenly had the urge to barbecue the black-clad swordsman next to her.

“I hope we won’t encounter those weird monsters again this time…” Maple tapped her fingers lightly in the air a few times.

Then, a large number of small mosaic-like cubes gathered in her hands and turned into a huge shield.

"I've spent all my upgrade points on agility these days, and I've also got equipment that increases speed. I'm sure I can play a role this time and help you resist the damage!"

"Maple has been working really hard these past three days! After finishing her homework, she has been following me and my brother to kill monsters."

Leafa smiled and patted Maple's little head.

"Hehe~ I can't always be taken care of by my brothers and sisters~!"

"Well, you've been working really hard these past few days, Maple."

"No, Asuna-sister. I'm actually quite happy too."

"Our safety will be in your hands then, Maple!"

"Well, just leave it to me, Kirito-nii-nii!"

"Then, let's begin!"

Leafa took out the coin from the warehouse, put her thumb at the bottom and her index finger at the top, and the coin naturally appeared between her thumb and index finger.

"Ding~!"

As Leafa flicked her thumb hard, the coin flashed a white light in the air.

Like a high-speed rotating gear, it slowly disappeared in mid-air.

"boom--!!!"

A loud roar sounded directly in their minds, causing Asuna and the others' consciousness to go blank for a moment.

Chapter 30: Shrines and ruins, Kirito is panicking

The vermilion torii gate and the bluestone road that still seemed to have no end appeared before Asuna and the others again.

They looked around and found that the environment around them was exactly the same as the White Fox copy they had entered before.

In fact, there is not even a single difference to be found.

"Isn't this exactly the same copy as the previous one?"

Leafa frowned slightly and said in confusion.

"Let's go up and take a look first."

Asuna glanced behind her and saw that the thick white fog still blocked the road behind them.

However, the previous sense of voyeurism was gone.

It shouldn't be possible to repeat the copy from three days ago, right?

"Yeah." Leafa nodded, then looked at her unlucky brother and boyfriend. Her tone was very gentle, but her eyes looked at a certain black-clad swordsman with an unquestionable look: "Onii-chan~ Can I ask you to scout the way ahead?"

"Okay... well..."

Kirito turned his head away with a slightly red face, as if he was embarrassed by Leafa's sudden tenderness.

Asuna and Maple immediately covered their mouths and laughed softly.

"What? Why do you seem so reluctant?" Leafa gave him a dissatisfied look, "How about this, you go in front and I'll follow behind you, okay?"

After saying that, Leafa didn't even wait for Kirito to nod in agreement, and said to Asuna and Leafa:

"Well then, Asuna, I'll leave Maple to you. I'll keep an eye on my brother in the front."

"Ah."

Asuna nodded.

"Sister Leafa, please be safe~"
