Seeing Seiya still confused about the situation, Xing wanted to remind him out of disappointment, but was quickly stopped by Asuna beside him. "Xing, thank you very much for helping me. I am very satisfied with the result. This is Seiya's character. After all, no matter what happens, we should proceed step by step, right?" Seeing Asuna's smile that seemed to hint at something, Sachi's face suddenly turned red. But she soon realized that as outsiders, they could only act as wingmen when it came to relationships, and they couldn't help with anything more. "Ms. Asuna is such a perfect person, beautiful and considerate, she is simply a shining existence." Girls' friendship often comes quite suddenly and inexplicably, but after this incident, Asuna and Xing became pretty good friends. Even when Kirito and the members of the Moonlit Black Cats left, Seiya still looked at Asuna beside him with an incredible expression on his face. He could not understand why the first encounter between the wife and his first love was so harmonious. Asuna and Sachi's encounter not only did not result in a bloodbath, but the two even became good friends. In Seiya's opinion, this was simply outrageous, the ultimate in outrageousness!
"Um... Asuna, what do you think of Sachi? She's with Kirito, don't you feel unhappy or anything?" Since what happened just now was beyond Seiya's expectations, Seiya asked carefully while looking at Asuna who was still playing with the "Meteor" beside him. “Xing is a very nice girl, and I think she and Kirito-kun are a good match. By the way, Seiya, are you free now? I just got a new weapon and I'm itching to play it. Let's do some PVP. Of course, considering that you are the national kendo champion, it should be okay for you to give me some time, right?" "Well, I actually..." "Well, since you have no objection, then it is happily decided. In this PVP, you are not allowed to use weapons, and there is no time limit for the duel. " Seiya was only halfway through his words when Asuna interrupted him, and with a smile on her face, she submitted a PVP request with absolutely unfair conditions to Seiya. "If God forbids the use of weapons, then what's the difference between me and a lamb to be slaughtered? You must be mad! As expected, even though you said you didn’t care, you must have been mad when you saw Kirito and Sachi together. Asuna, who was originally in a good mood because of receiving the "shooting star", was almost furious after hearing what Seiya said. Then, regardless of whether Seiya was willing or not, she directly pulled Seiya's hand and clicked the "Agree to Duel" option on the system interface in front of him. After being forced into this completely unfair PVP duel, Asuna originally thought that she could vent her anger on this hateful guy in front of her, but Seiya summoned a giant flaming tiger and a huge flying bird. If it was in the past, Seiya would not be able to defeat Asuna now without using weapons. However, after the last power sharing, Seiya is no longer the same person he used to be. Not only can he summon Shikigami to fight, but even if he doesn't use kendo, his martial arts are equally awesome! ——————Dividing line Aincrad's fifty-fifth floor, Gransam. The main town here is also called the Iron City because it is built with steel that gleams with a black glow.
Today, the strongest guild in SAO, the Knights of the Blood Alliance, is also located here. After completing today's team training, Asuna, the vice-captain of the Blood Knights, prepared to go home early today. "Asuna, thank you for your hard work today. Have you told Seiya about this?" Asuna was about to leave the Knights' headquarters, but was quickly stopped by a middle-aged man with gray hair and wearing red knight armor. The person who called out to Asuna was actually none other than Heathcliff, the leader of the Knights of the Blood Alliance and known as the strongest player today. Heathcliff was so strong that it was said that he once single-handedly held up the nearly collapsing front line for ten minutes in the 50th-floor boss battle. It is also said that since the beginning of the game, his HP value has never dropped into the yellow zone, that is, it has never been below 50%. “Well…, I haven’t had the chance to tell him yet, but based on my understanding of his character, he probably won’t agree. But I will try to persuade him again..." After saying goodbye to Heathcliff, Asuna sighed deeply again, and then came to Algade on the 50th floor of Aincrad alone. Algade on the fiftieth floor of Aincrad is the most prosperous street among the towns in Aincrad currently conquered, except for the "Street of Beginning" on the first floor. Although the streets here can only be described as "chaotic", there are all kinds of shops and stalls around the streets. Compared to the first floor's "Starting Street", the players here are of a higher level. After reaching the 50th floor, Asuna first bought some edible Warcraft ingredients from several players setting up stalls on the street, and then went to the grocery store of her old friend Agil. "Agil, are there any good ingredients today?" Seeing Asuna appear before him like a housewife with a basket on her wrist, Agil was not surprised at all. Because since half a year ago, the famous "Flash" in the strategy group has been a frequent visitor to his place. Since they were both players in the strategy group, and Agil was one of the few friends of Seiya and Kirito, Asuna was obviously very familiar with him. "It's Asuna. What a coincidence that you came today. A player was short of money, so he was selling 'Golden Carp' in Algade, and I just happened to get it." When Asuna heard Agil say the name of 'Golden Carp', her eyes lit up immediately and she asked in surprise, "'Golden Carp'? It's an S-rank ingredient that's considered one of the three great delicacies along with 'Rabbit Stew' and 'Hexagonal Honey'!" As a foodie, in order to satisfy her appetite, Asuna has maxed out all her cooking skills, and she has memorized all the ingredients in SAO by heart. However, she had only heard of the dream food ingredient "Golden Carp" but had never seen it. “Agil, please, sell me that golden carp!” Dream-level ingredients are hard to come by, so as a foodie, Asuna naturally prepared to get them without hesitation.
