Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

The next day, Asuna invited me on a date as expected.

Kirito naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure.

Of course, he never took what happened yesterday seriously, never.

The two agreed to meet at the entrance of the starting town on the first level.

Kirito arrived at the place in advance and looked deep into the grassland.

The green paths around lead to the distance, and if you look carefully you can see various beautiful flowers.

Kirito's mood also improved.

Soon, Asuna appeared. Looking at Kirito who was admiring the scenery, she couldn't help but want to play a prank on him.

While she wasn't being noticed, she quietly approached Kirito from behind and pointed her finger at his cheek from the side.

“Wa ...

The sudden attack startled Kirito, causing him to scream loudly.

Looking back, Asuna was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Kirito covered his chest and complained, "Asuna, don't scare me suddenly. It's bad for my heart, and it's too childish!"

"Eh, is that so? Speaking of childish, who was it that wanted to fight with Yuuki yesterday? Wasn't that person even more childish?" Asuna pretended to be confused.

It was indeed him, and he had nothing to say, so Kirito tried to escape with a smile.

Then Kirito tried to change the subject: "Let's not talk about this. Where are we going today?"

"Yesterday, Yuuki and I went deep into the grassland to look for pufferfish, but we failed. Kirito, are you interested in trying together?" Asuna suggested.

Did you fail to find the pufferfish yesterday? It doesn't seem that interesting. It's better to kill monsters and look for treasure.

"I also heard that pufferfish is very delicious. If I can find it, I will cook it." Asuna tempted.

Asuna's cooking.

Kirito immediately decided, "I'll go!"

"Well, now that we've decided, let's set off now without further delay~"

As she spoke, Asuna took Kirito's hand and the two of them walked towards the depths of the grassland.

Today, Kirito is still being controlled by Asuna.

As we went deeper, there were fewer and fewer players fighting monsters around.

It’s not hard to understand, after all, the first floor is full of low-level monsters.

If you want to level up quickly, you can find a team to go to a higher level to kill monsters, which is more efficient.

However, the fewer people there are, the more

So Kirito asked Asuna, "Asuna, are you sure this is the way?"

"I don't know, that's why we came to find it."

That's a really good answer, considering that SAO's terrain is extremely large.

With only two people, it would take at least several months to explore the first level, and it would be impossible to complete it.

“…Heh…Heh.” Kirito laughed helplessly.

Come to think of it, this was Asuna's first time playing a full-dive game, so it was understandable that she didn't understand anything about it.

This time it depends on yourself.

Kirito cheered up, he was the best at taking care of girls!

Then Kirito suggested, "Next, let me demonstrate the process of finding items in SAO."

Asuna clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest, pretending that she would listen attentively and said:

"I'm counting on you, Kirito-sensei~"

Kirito nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"The first step is to do a good job of gathering intelligence. It's almost impossible for the two of us to search on such a large map."

As he spoke, Kirito slid his right hand down, opened the settings interface, and clicked on game information.

As SAO is an online game, players can still use the Internet when sneaking in the game.

When Kenshin was searching for the 'Wine of Immortality', he downloaded real-time translation software through the computer network so that he could have a normal conversation.

Similarly, you can also search for game information directly in the game.

Kirito entered keywords such as "first floor" and "pufferfish" and a lot of information about the two appeared.

[On the first floor, delicious food was found, and there was a pufferfish with a highly poisonous body. ]

[Eat one bite and you will regret it for a lifetime, don’t eat it and you will regret it for the rest of your life! 】

……

Pushing these in front of Asuna: "Look~"

"So it's so simple. I've learned it, Mr. Kirito~" Asuna replied playfully.

Kirito looked for the key part among many inquiries and roughly understood the address where pufferfish were produced.

So he said, "We only know the approximate range now, we won't know the details until we get there."

"It doesn't matter. We'll get there first. It doesn't matter if there's nothing there."

Even if I fail, she will still tolerate it. As expected of Asuna.

"Just keep going!"

……

"Here we are, here we are."

As Kirito's voice came from the front, Asuna looked further ahead.

What comes into view is a tranquil lake.

Under the influence of the wind, the surface of the lake shimmered and the grass nearby swayed slightly.

"It's a beautiful place with beautiful scenery."

"Yeah." Kirito agreed.

There was no one around at the moment, so the two of them could cover the entire area.

With beautiful scenery in front of you and a beautiful woman beside you, how can you not be intoxicated by it at this moment?

Then, Kirito shook his head.

Oh no, I was so focused on enjoying the scenery that I almost forgot the purpose of coming here.

Then he reminded the person beside him: "Asuna, don't forget why we are here."

"Kirito just wants to eat puffer fish dishes." Asuna smiled after hearing that.

Kirito said without hiding anything: "It's exposed."

Seeing that Kirito was getting impatient, Asuna took out a fishing rod from her backpack and said, "I really can't do anything about you."

"…Asuna, you don't want to go fishing, do you?" Kirito asked.

Asuna asked back: "Yeah, is there something wrong?"

"It's not a question of right or wrong, because fishing itself is a time-consuming and laborious method. Wouldn't it be possible to catch more fish using a more efficient method?"

"Then Kirito, do you have any more effective method?"

Kirito smiled and said, "Of course!"

After saying that, he put his "midnight coat" into his backpack, and then his shirt and pants disappeared as well.

Looking around, Kirito was only wearing a pair of shorts.

Kirito gave Asuna a thumbs up and said, "No matter how you think about it, catching fish in the water is the fastest way. Do you want to join us, Asuna?"

Asuna stared at Kirito's flushed face, steam coming out of his head from time to time.

...Together, do you mean to remove the equipment as well?

If it is indoors, you can still consider it, but...

"But we're still outside, so absolutely not!" Asuna responded firmly.

Kirito looked around: "Don't worry, there's no one around here."

"Oyster, oyster, who knows when someone will come over." Asuna shook her head and said in resistance.

Kirito looked embarrassed: "Okay, I'll go catch the fish, Asuna will wait on the shore."

After saying that, he jumped into the lake.

Kirito, really, even though there was no one around, it was in public, so shameless...

Asuna hesitated, threw the other end of the fishing rod into the lake, and started fishing.

In the lake, Kirito slowly opened his eyes and adjusted to the underwater environment.

The water is also crystal clear and visibility is not a problem.

With his level and ability, he can probably hold his breath underwater for about three to four minutes, which is more than enough to catch ordinary torpedoes.

Let me see what kind of delicious food there is at the bottom of the lake?

After diving into the lake for a distance, a group of blue and white figures came into Kirito's sight.

Kirito was surprised and said: "That...that is...a puffer whale?!"
