PS: I've been scammed. The Mid-Autumn Festival will only be released for one day…I can't make up for the devil's high school…Everyone, wait for my National Day to make up for it! Let's just drag the sword until National Day →_→…
The next morning…
When Stripey sat by the bed and looked at the ground dejectedly, Asuna, who had finished dressing up, walked to Stripey while making the sound of the cleats in her boots. A slender girl, Yui, no, Yui, also walked over.
As the name Yui reminded him of a famous Japanese actress, Ms. Hatata, he decided to use another name for Yui, Yui.
"Hey, how long are you going to be depressed?”Asuna seemed a little impatient.
"But it's only two weeks!”Ban answered like a child as he raised his head to act cute. But in fact, Ban couldn't deny that Asuna looked very charming in her long-lost white and red knight outfit.
As expected, uniforms were the way to go, huh? Oh, oh! Good sex! Ban's heart was already dirty.
"Don't worry! A certain hard-working author read books for more than 20 days in a row, but he only had one day off during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Moreover, he only had three days off during the National Day. Compared to him, we are much happier!”Asuna comforted Stripey.
"... Hearing you say that, my mood suddenly improved a lot..." Although Ban still looked half-dead, there was some spirit in his eyes. But what did you mean by that? Was it showing off to the evil sword? It must be? Soulless! (flip table)
"... Dad, Mom..." Wei looked at the two of them and tilted her head."Why do I suddenly feel that the author is so pitiful?”
Wuwu, Yueyi, you're too understanding!
In fact, as long as they considered the reason why Asuna had temporarily left the guild, Ban and Asuna could have rejected the invitation and the only one.
However, the words " victims have appeared " at the end of the message made Asuna feel uneasy. Stripey didn't care. As long as the people she loved were fine, she wouldn't care about their lives.
"At least go and listen to what they have to say! If you don't go, Kiriko might go and challenge the boss without permission. Alright, time's up!”
After being patted on the back, Stripey reluctantly got up and opened the equipment screen. As it was still resting, Stripey put on the familiar black fur coat and blood-red armor. Finally, he put the Uchiha fan on his back.
"Yes, this kind of dressing is indeed more suitable for Ban!”Asuna smiled and ran over to hold Stripey's right arm, while Yui ran in front of the two. Stripey and Asuna looked at each other and smiled, pulling Yui into their arms.
Ban turned around and looked at the new house that was about to leave for a short time. He said in a nostalgic tone,"…Hurry up and settle this matter before coming back!”
"That's right!" After Asuna and Yui nodded, Stripey opened the door and stepped into the cold morning air.
On the 22nd floor, Nishida's familiar figure was waiting for them with a fishing rod in his hand. Asuna had only told him the departure time beforehand.
She heard him say," Can we talk for a while?”Spot nodded. This Fishing Master was a very interesting person, so the three of them sat side by side on the bench in the square, while Asuna held Yui in her arms.
Nishida looked at the bottom of the upper floor and said slowly,"" To be honest…Up until now, the fact that there are many players on the upper floor who aim to complete the game is like something from another world to me. Perhaps I've already given up on the idea of leaving this place…"
Ban and Asuna listened to him in silence.
" I'm sure you know that technology is changing with each passing day in the technology industry. Because this is a job that I've been doing since I was young, I was able to keep up with the progress of technology before, but now that I've been away from the scene for two years, I can't keep up no matter what. Anyway, I don't know if I can return to work at the company when I go back. If I have to bear the tragic experience of being kicked away as a burden, I'd rather stay here and fish. That's what I think…"
At this point, he stopped, and a small smile appeared on his wrinkled face. No one could find any words to comfort him, because after this man became a SAO prisoner, what he lost was beyond Asuna's imagination.
" Me too..." Asuna murmured as she hugged Yui." I was thinking the same thing as you half a year ago. I cried alone every night. I always felt that every day I spent in this world, whether it was my family, friends, studies, etc., my life in the real world would be ruined. I felt like I was about to go crazy. When he slept, he always dreamed of his original world…He thought that the only solution was to quickly become stronger and conquer the game as soon as possible, so he desperately improved his weapon skills.”
Stripey stared at Asuna's face in shock. Although Stripey had never paid much attention to other people... when he met Stripey, he couldn't tell that she had such thoughts. It seemed that Asuna had always been so domineering ever since they got together, but he had neglected her feminine side? No matter how strong a woman was, there would always be times when she was weak…
Asuna looked at Stripey with a smile and continued,"" However, on a certain day about half a year ago, when I was transferred to the front line to prepare for the Labyrinth, there was a person lying on the grass in the square, sleeping. Because his level seemed to be quite high, I angrily said to that person,'If you have time to sleep here, please hurry up and help me conquer the maze'…"
At this point, she covered her mouth with her hand and snickered." In the end, that person actually replied to me,'Today is the best weather setting in the best season of Ain Grand. It's really a waste to run into the maze on such a day'. Then, he pointed at the grass beside him and said,' Come and sleep too', which was really rude.”
Asuna stopped smiling and looked into the distance."" However, I was shocked when I heard his words. I thought to myself,'This person is indeed living in this world.' I didn't care that life in the real world was disappearing day by day. Instead, I focused on accumulating experience in this world every day. I realized that there were such people…So I asked the guild members to leave first, and then I tried to lie down beside that person. The wind blowing on my face was really comfortable…The warm temperature was also very pleasant, so I fell asleep. It was probably the first time I could sleep so soundly since I came to this world. When I woke up, it was already evening, and that person was still beside me with an impatient expression. And that person is him…"
After saying that, Asuna held Ban's hand tightly. Ban said helplessly," I'm sorry, Asuna…I didn't mean what I said back then. I just wanted to take a nap…"
"Of course I know that. I don't need you to tell me that. You're a guy whose moral integrity has long been shattered and swept away by others!”Asuna pouted, then turned to Nishida and said,""As for me…from that day onwards, I fell asleep thinking about him every night. In the end, I really didn't have nightmares anymore. After that, I tried my best to find his base and specially set aside time to meet him…I slowly began to look forward to the arrival of tomorrow…When I thought that I should be in love, I felt very happy and decided to cherish this feeling. That was the first time I felt that it was great to be able to come to this world…"
Asuna lowered her head, rubbed her eyes with her white-gloved hands, and took a deep breath.
" To me, Ban is the meaning of my life for the past two years. It's also proof that I'm still alive and my hope for tomorrow. I came here wearing the NERvGear that day to meet this person. Nishida-san…I may not be qualified to say this to you, but I think Nishida-san must have gained something in this world. This is indeed an imaginary world, and everything we see is fake. However, to us, our hearts are real. Thinking about it this way, everything we experience and gain is also real.”
Nishida kept blinking and nodding his head a few times. One could see the glow in the depths of his glasses. In fact, Asuna was also trying her best to hold back the heat in her eyes.
" You're right, it's true…" Nishida looked up at the sky again and said," It's a very valuable experience to be able to hear what Miss Asuna said just now. Of course, it's also the same for catching a big fish that's more than five meters long…You really can't give up on life so easily!”
Nishida nodded vigorously and stood up."Ah, I've wasted so much of your time. I believe that as long as there are people like you fighting in the upper echelons, we'll be able to return to that world soon. Although I can't help you with anything, I can at least give you encouragement. Please do your best." Nishida-san shook Ban's hand up and down. After exchanging firm handshakes, he walked toward the transfer door.
Stepping into the space that was shaking like a mirage, Stripey and Asuna looked at each other and said at the same time,""Transfer-Grantham!"
The blue light that spread out in front of the three people gradually covered Nishida, who was waving his hands continuously.
It's the final battle…Heathcliff, no, it should be Hayaba Akihiko, let's end this! And the person behind the scenes, what is your purpose? Playing with my fate, not only Ban, but also Uchiha Ban! 'You've played with the fates of these two people…' Ban clenched his fists.
