Asuna, you're sleeping.
"That's it. As I was walking softly on this floor, I suddenly complained of sleepiness. Today's weather seemed to allow him to have a good sleep, so I asked him to take a nap. Even if you make a mistake, I will not try Wake you up.
Shino crossed his arms and looked at the sleeping Asuna with a calm expression.
Hello, Lilan. Judging from what you mean, you seem to have discovered that we have been by your side ever since you and Asuna got together.
"Lilan sighed and looked sideways at us.
"You're doing bad things too. She's following me, using her stealth skills to eavesdrop on my conversation with Asuna. Well, thanks to that, Asuna didn't notice you, so you can hear valuable stories, I am very happy.
"This is true." Unexpectedly, such a reality would be waiting for Asuna to attack us in various ways.
I found out Asuna’s surprising identity. I think she doesn't know what to do anymore.
If I use my power, I can definitely advance the capture of this castle faster. However, what awaits after the capture is the reality of being restrained by parents. Even if he wanted to escape from there, the people around him had strange expectations, so in the end he had no choice but to continue arresting him.
"This person who cannot live in this world, who is suffocating to live in the real world, is in a state of confusion."
Shino's expression darkened. He probably didn't expect that Asuna's heart would be so rough.
terrible. I don't want to be called 'Shining Asuna', but that's what people around me call me. It's possible that Asuna was forced to become the idol of the Bloodsworn Knights. That's all. After all, if you want to form a war group, you probably need someone to guide you. "
"I tilted my head involuntarily." It is true that Asuna is the deputy leader of the Blood Knights, but the boss of the Blood Knights is Heathcliff. Therefore, the idol or leader of the Blood Knights should be the boss Heathcliff, not Asuna
But the leader of the Blood Oath Knights is Heathcliff, right? Asuna can't be an idol.
Shino turned her head and looked at me.
"Have you ever heard of Heathcliff appearing in a boss fight?"
"Um"
"When I hear about boss battles and raids these days, Asuna is always the one who leads the Bloodsworn Knights. I have heard a lot about Asuna, but I have never heard of Heathcliff, who leads the Bloodsworn Knights. Boss." Bloodsworn Knights.
Diabel, the boss of the Holy Dragon Alliance, fights among the members of the Order, so I know he is the boss, but Heathcliff rarely appears on the battlefield, this is not like "
"If you think about it, yes." The attack was carried out while we were resting, but the Bloodsworn Knights led by Asuna were participating at that time, and Asuna was mainly responsible for the attack. As the most important leader of the Blood Oath Knights, Heathcliff did not come out at all and remained in the headquarters of the Blood Oath Knights.
Usually Heathcliff would go to the battlefield to fight, but he didn't show up at all, leaving Asuna to direct the attacks on those around her. This is what Asuna hates.
Speaking of which, Asuna told me about Kirito before. Since it's about you, I think you haven't forgotten it, but do you know that giant?
"Colossus, you are talking about the boss on the fiftieth floor. What happened to that boss?"
After defeating the giant, the Blood Oath Knights seemed to have gone to the boss room on the 50th floor to provide support. The Heathcliff you mentioned was there at that time. It seems that the boss on the 50th floor plans to use Heathcliff as the main attack. It seemed Heathcliff was really surprised that we beat him. Of course Asuna
Although that behemoth was powerful, it was originally a battle that would kill people, but Lilan and I's "Human Dragon One" turned the situation around and led us to victory. I thought this was probably a battle that would set the Blood Knights into action, but are the Blood Knights planning to challenge that behemoth with a Heathcliff-centered strategy?
"But after that, I never heard of Heathcliff going to the battlefield again. What's going on?"
"It stinks, there's no doubt about it but I only know one thing."
He turned his attention to Shino. Shino stared at Asuna sleeping next to Lilan.
That Heathcliff also played the role of creating a false image of Asuna in an instant and wearing away Asuna's heart.
that's right. She hated fighting like that, hated being forced to obey someone. However, Heathcliff did nothing and imposed the hard work of fighting and commanding his own organization on Asuna, the deputy commander. All I did was strategize for the quarter battle and try to fight.
"Indeed, Heathcliff and Asuna's parents feel the same. Not only that, Heathcliff was supposed to be the boss leading the Blood Oath Knights, but he didn't do anything independently. World"
"However, even if I understand, I still don't know what to do. I can't go to the headquarters of the Blood Oath Knights to protest."
You know, but Asuna understands that conquest alone won't solve everything. Flash Asuna disappeared from this Aincrad. There should be no need to become a strategic devil. yes
"That's absolutely right. Don't you think it's interesting how Asuna, who lost Lightning Asuna, will have an impact on the Bloodsworn Knights?
"Don't think about it. If a man with an iron mask appearance suddenly regains his expression, they will be shocked."
Shino crossed her arms and looked at Asuna.
So, I wonder what Heathcliff would think of the deputy commander who suddenly changed his mind.
"That won't change." Asuna has played various roles so far, and even Heathcliff cannot change all of a sudden. However, thanks to Lelan, the Asuna faction's mindset seems to have fundamentally changed, so it's unlikely that they prioritize capture and efficiency over everything.
Heathcliff was originally one of the influences that made her become that way, so even if Asuna suddenly changed her mind and confused the Blood Oath Knights, Heathcliff couldn't blame Asuna. Well, I think Heathcliff, who looks carefree even though he doesn't appear in the boss battle, shouldn't panic so quickly, and shouldn't be so confused. That's it, but it's a little annoying.
"By the way, how long will this person sleep? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. After all, this guy is a tragic warrior who has been fighting without rest. No, she is a girl who is forced to continue fighting no matter in reality or in this world. Even if she just encountered this When the girl was sleeping, she was so tired that she felt dizzy. In short, this girl needed a good rest for a long, long time.
"Yes.
Shino showed a slightly troubled expression.
"But who will fill the gaps in the strategy that this person missed? Even if this person leaves, the strategy must continue."
Leylan's face turned to me and Shino alternately.
"Then do it yourself. You, especially Kirito, use me as people who are full of hope and expectations at the same time. Sinon's level is lower than those around her, but her determination But his strength and determination are beyond ordinary people, and he can be said to be a strong man. All you have to do is participate in the next boss battle and defeat the boss.
"It's easy to say, but this is my first boss fight.
Rylan turned to look at Asuna.
Asuna said it would be better to go to the 22nd floor with me. So, by chance, I may not be able to participate in the next boss battle. I really don't want Asuna to be in this state alone.
A feeling of impatience gradually arose in my heart. I have always planned to target Lilan for the boss battle, and after using Lilan's power, I plan to protect Sinon and the others.
Hey, you're not going to be Asuna's dependent, are you? I would be in trouble without you.
``No, so don't worry. However, I have something to ask you for help. I hope you enjoy your time away from me.
"When can you leave me?"
The literal meaning is to create a day that is separate from you and act separately.
"The fact that Lilan left me means I won't be able to capture with Lilan that day."
This should make sense, but...
Well, there are all kinds of things that you can think about, so I think it's possible to take individual action, but what do I do when you're not around? No, I'm going to stop attacking.
Shino said before Li Ran answered.
Is this okay. You seem to have other things you want to do. Kirito and Asuna are in a similar situation, right?
Just as Li Ran turned his gaze to Shino, Shino opened his mouth again.
"You have been working hard to arrest, and it seems you don't have much time to rest. Moreover, you are always worried about protecting everyone, and you are working hard to rerun. It's time for you to take a good rest." Every now and then. Like Norirunday. When Lelan says he's taking a break, so are you. "
Come to think of it, I didn't find anything I really wanted to do other than fight, so I spent all my time in dungeons, fields, and mazes, defeating a lot of monsters.
There were many times when he didn't rest, and even after Lilan became an ally, he continued fighting with almost no rest until the New Year. Well, Shino said he wanted to become stronger, so I did as he was told, but even so, I probably didn't get much rest and kept fighting.
"Indeed, you didn't get much rest and fought."
"That's right. That's why you need to take a day off. You're not a strategic demon. You can't fight all day long. I think you should accept this request for a replay."
Shino's majestic and clear voice resounded in her heart. That's right, but Shino seems to be worried about me. And by chance, Lilan might also see through that I am a guy who keeps fighting and never rests?
"If you say that, I can't refuse.
"With my permission, Lelan's eyes sparkled like a real dog's."
I owe you a favor, Kirito. And, there is one more.
"When is this time?"
If Asuna wants to lend it to me, please don't refuse. Asuna is more spoiled and lonely than I expected.
I couldn't help but be surprised by the information Lelan provided. Unexpectedly, Asuna would try hard to capture such an identity, but hide it. Rather, if Asuna asked me to lend her a replay, it would be a non-replayable day, my day off. In other words, my vacation will be decided by Asuna?
Lend you to Asuna. Is Asuna someone you trust so much?
"Even so. Asuna is not a bad person, nor is she the kind of person who thinks bad things. So it's okay to trust Asuna.
Shino spoke again.
What Lilan said must be true. Speaking of which, Kirito, why don't you trust Asuna and lend Lilan to someone else?
Can you believe Asuna?
Speaking of which, Lilan can breathe fire. If Lilan is misused by Asuna, I think Lilan will turn Asuna into Fire Daruma and kill him. And I don’t think Asuna is a bad person.
I stared at Asuna's sleeping face quietly. An innocent and very peaceful sleeping face, peaceful sleep. Really, if someone asked me if a villain would make a sleeping face like this, I would shake my head. .
In addition, Asuna was one of the people trapped in this world, heartbroken, and instead of healing, her wounds worsened to this point. If this can be cured by replaying it maybe ok to loan it out.
no way. Got it, Rylan. You can visit Asuna from time to time. So, if Asuna calls you, just go.
Lilan smiled and nodded.
Thank you, Kirito
In exchange, please take good care of Asuna.
Lilan yelled, Asuna opened her eyes, and her body began to move slowly. Everyone's eyes suddenly gathered together, and Asuna began to look around with a face that didn't know what was going on.
"That"
I called out to Asuna, who seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.
Good morning, Asuna-san. Did you sleep well?
Asuna stared at me with a blank expression, but immediately stood up with a clear expression.
"Hey, you guys, you guys!"
Shino crossed his arms and smiled bitterly.
"Lelan's master and his companions. It seems you can have a good rest."
Asuna looked at me, Shino, and Zairan in turn, then lowered her head, then raised her head and walked to me. Just when I thought it was because someone saw my sleeping face, Asuna's mouth opened slightly.
Your family has helped me a lot. Let me cook you a meal as a thank you gift.
"Yes?"
"As a thank you, please let me cook for you!"
