Yuki pulled Kirito to a corner of the tavern, and there were four young adventurers at the table in the corner.
"Kita, Takar, Tetsuo, Sasamaru, let me introduce you. This is Kirito, he just saved my life in the leveling area.”Sachi said enthusiastically to the four people at the table.
"Lucky! Why did you sneak out alone? Do you know how worried everyone is about you?”Keita stood up from the stool and said to Komi with a hint of anger.
Keita thanked Kirito again and said,""Then, sir, thank you very much for saving my life.”
Dakar, Tetsuo, and Sasamaru also stood up and said to Kirito,""Thank you very much, Kiri-kun."
Kirito looked at the sincere gazes of the four men and said very naturally,""This is what I should do. You don't have to be so polite.”
After saying that, he even spread his hands at them.
"Then, Kirito-kun, you must not have had lunch yet. If you don't mind, sit down and eat with us. We haven't started yet.”
Keita extended a sincere invitation to Kirito.
"That's right, Kiri-kun, please stay.”
Yukiya said reluctantly.
"Kiri-kun, please stay."
The other three also said to Kirito at the same time.
"Alright then, sorry to bother you."
Kirito could not refuse his kindness, so he still agreed.
Although Kirito wanted to raid the BOSS, he realized that it was only the seventh day and he had already defeated the BOSS on the third floor.
It was not impossible to relax a little. Fortunately, there was a kind of magic that attracted him.
Hence, Kirito stopped thinking about it and focused on eating with Yuki and his companions.
"Kirito, the five of us were in the computer research department in high school. Back then, we had a sudden impulse to go to SAO together. Back then, we had to queue for a long time to buy five helmets. Now, even in the game, we help each other and support each other just like in the real world.”
Keita introduced Kirito.
"What about you, Kirito?"
" What's wrong?" Sachi asked curiously.
"I'm a loner, or rather, a raider.”
"At the same time, I'm also a closed beta tester.”
Kirito said to the five of them.
"Then do you want to join us? The five of us have established Yue Ye's Black Cat Guild.”
Kita extended a sincere invitation to Kirito.
"You can't handle it alone, right?”
Yukiya said sweetly.
Kirito looked at the five people at the table and said seriously.
"Keita, Yuki, I'm sorry, but I can't join you.”
"In that case, Kirito Kun, don't be too careful when you are alone.”
Keita was not angry at the doujin's rejection. Instead, he spoke to Kirito with concern.
"I can't join Yue Ye's Black Cat Guild because I want to create a Raiders Guild myself. However, I won't be forming a guild for the time being. Perhaps I can farm monsters with you guys for a while?”
Kirito answered sincerely.
"Of course, welcome, Kirito Kun.”After saying that, Kita extended his right hand.
Kirito also extended his right hand and shook hands with Kita.
Fortunately, the other three raised their glasses to welcome him.
Kirito was touched by the warm atmosphere.
Whether it was in the otaku world or in the world of SAO, he had never sat together with a group of people like this, chatting and laughing, and having a happy lunch.
Kirito's eyes could not help but turn moist. In the real world, an otaku who did not have many friends was somewhat lonely and depressed. He had not felt such a warm feeling for a long time.
After a pleasant dinner.
A full moon hung high up in the sky. The bright moonlight illuminated the entire Town of Beginnings.
Kirito's plan this afternoon was to level up to level 20 because the system said that level 20 would unlock new functions of the system.
The functions of the system had always been powerful, and Kirito was already a little impatient.
Although he had delayed leveling up in the afternoon because of Yuki, it did not matter. Kirito felt that he could still level up in the afternoon and night.
Kirito walked out of the tavern, but someone seemed to be following him.
Hence, he quickened his pace, made a turn, and hid at the side of the blacksmith shop.
He was waiting for the arrival of the stalker.
When the stalker saw Kirito suddenly accelerate and disappear from the blacksmith's shop, he hurriedly ran to the blacksmith's shop.
When Kirito heard the approaching footsteps, he quietly gripped his Nameless Sword. Even though this was a safe zone and it was impossible to attack players for no reason, Kirito still subconsciously did so.
The stalker had already reached the entrance of the blacksmith shop when suddenly, Kirito rushed out.
The stalker was shocked and screamed,""Ah!"
"Xing, are you alright?" Kirito would never have thought that the person following him was Yuki!
"No, I'm fine. But, Kiri-kun, you scared me to death!”
Yu said innocently.
"I'm sorry."
Kirito spread his hands to show that he did not do it on purpose.
"Then, as compensation, Kirito Kun must bring the letter along to level up.”
Yuki hugged Kirito's right arm and said coquettishly.
"Of course you can."
Kirito replied.
