[Comprehensive] Goodbye, Asuna

Chapter 2 Asuna wears a silk dress

Riding in a four-wheeled carriage, Asuna was sent to a manor, where she met Damon Spedo's friend Elena.

Elena is an aristocratic woman with a delicate appearance and easy-going conversation. Her radiant blue eyes have captivated many Sicilian young talents, and her confident posture and erudite wisdom have attracted countless young girls. She is heartbroken.In addition, she is the Duke's daughter, and as an imperial concubine, her status is beyond words, but she does not have the corresponding arrogance and conceit.

She was holding a white cat, which was docile and familiar.Asuna felt that she could be sure that this cat might be the one that gave her a paw.Even though the wounds were healed now, Asuna didn't like the cat either.

Elena's beautiful temperament made Asuna feel good about her, and Asuna slightly relaxed her guard against Damon bringing her here.

"(Elena, I haven't seen you for a few days, your figure still fascinates me.)" Stepping into the living room decorated with a lot of expensive silk, Spedo kissed the back of Elena's hand, "(These days I've been thinking about your figure, and it's hard to sleep.)"

"(Your 'affectionate' really moved me,)" Elena pulled back her hand, smiled and nodded to Asuna who was standing by, "(If you didn't come with such a beautiful lady .)"

"(Elena's beauty is unparalleled, are you still afraid that others will take away your reputation as the number one beauty in Sicily?)"

"(Power and money are the number one beauties. My beauty is just its afterglow.)" Elena and Damon flirted for a while, and Elena brought back the topic of running away, "(Let me guess Look, you are here for this beautiful young lady?)”

"(Her name is Asuna, she doesn't know anything about our affairs here.)" Daemon said seriously, "(I picked her up in a dark alley where no one passed by.)"

"('A dark alley that no one passes by',)" Elena's thoughts diverged infinitely, and gossip gleams in her eyes, "(It seems that the rumors of the ladies are indeed true, the charming Damon Spedo Playboy, find a new love / encounter love, both of which are more appropriate in the alleys where no one passes by.)”

Spedo smiled wryly: "(I'd rather be the former one. You know, the more talented a person is, the easier it is to suffer from the envy of others.)"

Elena coughed, her eyes signaled Damon Spedo to respect himself: "(Come back to business.)"

Spedo said: "(An Asian girl who knows nothing about this place, why did she come to Sicily? She doesn't even know hand kissing.)"

"(You mean..." Elena's eyes turned cold, "(she was abducted by those pleasure-loving... nobles?)"

Damon Spedo continued: "(She doesn't know anything here, she is a poor girl with no relatives, I think, Elena, maybe you will be willing to help her. As for me, you know, I In a 'dark alley no one walks'.)”

"(Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send her back to her homeland, back to her family right away.)"

"(No no no Elena, you know what I mean, it will take time to find her family, let her get used to life here with you, learn our language. I think you will be happy to help .)” Spedo said anxiously.

"(Help her? I'm happy to help such a cute and cute foreign girl." Elena glanced at Damon Spedo's eyes, changed the subject, lowered her eyelids, and covered her blue eyes with understanding. The shadow of the eyelashes is like the ice that has not melted for thousands of years on the high mountains of Siberia, "(But, Damon, I am not here to hide your mistress. What do you want me to do for her? I thought we were friends, but I didn't expect You didn't regard me as a friend. You sent a girl of unknown origin to me and asked me to help her. When you had difficulties, you pitied her and thought of me. You wanted to use my pity to help her. Although I Willing to help my friend, help this poor girl. But have you ever thought that she might be a good killer and will take my father's life, I have to think about my family. So... ..."

Elena's cat screamed and jumped out of her arms.But Elena and Spedo didn't care.

"(So..." Damon Spedo was a little embarrassed, he calmed down, "(Elena, you are really different."

"(Now that you know, don't use those bad tricks you used to use on women on me. I have encountered enough of those tricks. Thousands of men invite each other with the same invitation every year. I'll have dinner and dance together. We both know—I know you as you know me, so don't waste time." Elena showed a bored expression, pointing to the darkening sky, no more Reserving the slightest bit of politeness and tenderness, throw the feather fan on Damon Spedo's face, "(Give you 1 minute, give me a truth that I can recognize. After 1 minute, you will stand at the gate of my manor Besides, alone, or with that girl. I'm not taking you to dinner."

"(Look at this," Damon Spedo handed Elena a gold button with a hole in it, "you will understand after looking at this. This is the most powerful sword I have ever seen , as fast as lightning, and it is impossible for bullets to have such penetrating power."

Facing the light, Elena noticed the blood, and the color changed slightly: "Are you injured?"

"(Oh, um, a little..." Damon Spedo froze, "You know, if I'm well prepared, my illusion won't hurt me at all. Not at all."

"(Did this kid really do it?" Looking at the immature Asuna in surprise, Elena could understand the shocked and admiring smile on her face, she was a little embarrassed, "(If I would have thought you were kidding me if I didn't know you wouldn't fool me for being a fool. But, Damon, have you considered this? Maybe, this kid really is a killer."

"(I trust my gut, she's not a murderer. Maybe she needs help right now."

Elena continued: "(And we also need help now, we need to help more people, and we also need more people to help us."

Damon Spedo smiled back: "(Looks like you have agreed, then I can leave your place within 1 minute as you said."

"(Look, it fell in love with her too," Elena pointed to the white cat, who is now curled up in a ball and sitting on Asuna's white boots, "I will teach her Italian carefully , I think, perhaps fate has sent her to us. As for you, Damon, you can go away. And if you are not so verbose next time, I will welcome you again, my dear friend."

Elena walked towards Asuna who was standing quietly by the side with downcast eyes, held Asuna's cool palm with soft fingers, and smiled sincerely: "(Asuna, welcome, I think, you will be happy to accept Are we helping you? My name is Elena."

Asuna lowered her head and looked at the little white cat with golden eyes. The little white cat raised its head to look at her if it felt something, squinted its eyes and yawned like a smile.Asuna's stiff face loosened, and she nodded, she felt that at this moment, no one could refuse Elena's smile.Sincerity is like the morning sun, very clean, without a trace of dust in it.

Language is the monopoly of human beings. If there is no language and no means of communication, then that person will at least be regarded as an alien.Humans are the most integrated species, and their exclusivity is also quite good.Whether for the majority, or for the "heterogeneous".Therefore, Asuna, who deeply felt that the language barrier caused her considerable trouble, racked her brains and started to learn this language with 0 basics.

Elena began to teach Asuna's Italian, and declared that Asuna was her personal bodyguard.

With Elena repeating every word, Asuna felt as if she had gone back in time and entered the time of babbling. After several months, while Asuna mastered the basic Italian conversation, she Surprised to find that Elena was able to communicate with her in fluent Japanese one day.Under questioning, Elena actually said: "Of course it's because I found a teacher who can teach me Japanese. Although Japan is located far away in the East, I can still find someone who can speak Japanese. As for why not let me That person came to teach you, of course, because I want to teach you myself."

Asuna could only respond with speechlessness and depression, and felt helpless for Elena's dominance and intelligence.

They often sat in the sun in the afternoon, admiring the flowers and drinking tea in the yard. Asuna practiced Italian, while Elena practiced Japanese. The white kitten yawned and slept in Asuna's boots. It looked like he was only wearing white plush slippers on half of his feet.

During this period, Damon also came to visit the two people from time to time, but mostly, Damon and Elena met alone.

At the same time, Asuna also figured out that she was in Sicily, Italy in the 18th century. This is the real world, where people will bleed and die, and there will be no real world where monsters will refresh.As a character in the game, I came to this different time and space, and my game system accompanied me.When she is injured, her HP will be reduced, but she can also heal on her own, and her clothes will be refreshed if they are dirty, and she will not feel tired physically.She can call out the system menu on her right hand at any time, but no one else can notice it.

It's like playing a game, but it's definitely not a game.

Finally one day, Elena said to Asuna, who was wearing the spotless white swordsman uniform that seemed to have not been replaced, "My dear Asuna, maybe, tonight, you would be happy to wear that white swordsman uniform." Take off your clothes and put on the long silk dress I prepared for you."

Asuna opened her eyes wide: "Elena, you promised me that I don't have to attend those noble banquets. So this time..."

Elena was silent for a while, and replied truthfully: "I will introduce some people for you, maybe, we will need your strength. Of course, after meeting, you will tell me your decision."

Asuna said, "Eleena won't make unreasonable demands on me."

"of course not."

"So since Elena needs me, why should I refuse."

Elena suddenly stood up from the velvet armchair, her heels slammed on the cashmere carpet, and the impact was even transmitted to the stone bricks under the carpet, and Asuna could feel a slight tremor in the soles of her feet.Like a wild leopard holding back its anger, her gait is graceful and swift.

"Elena?"

"I don't know why, the volcano in my heart is ready to move for you like this. I allow you to call me by my name, I let you always be by my side, I give you the right to refuse, and I will respond to your wishes —if you have. But..." Elena's cheeks were only a few centimeters away, her beautiful cheeks showing finely.Looking directly into Asuna's eyes, her blue eyes are like surging lake water, following her line of sight, it seems like a flood breaking through Asuna's thoughts, her words are like sharp swords, easily peeling off what and exposing what to the light : "I can only say that you are really my loyal bodyguard."

Elena left angrily, her figure disappeared at the door, more light came in, in this room where there was no one person,

It seemed surprisingly empty.

Only this kind of emptiness and loneliness was enough to relieve Asuna's tension. With her long chestnut hair hanging down her cheeks, Asuna said softly, "I'm sorry, but I can't..."

Ever since Elena set the identity of a bodyguard for Asuna, she has perfectly interpreted the meaning of the so-called perfect bodyguard, and even adjusted her sleeping state to a high-alert mode, even in the middle of the night, any situation is enough to appear immediately By Elena's side.He even caught an aristocratic young man who climbed over the courtyard wall and wanted to kiss Elena...

It was to repay Elena's kindness, but it was more to keep herself busy and forget some things, otherwise, she would be overwhelmed by the anxiety in her heart.

——Thinking that Kirito might be immersed in pain, or die directly, Asuna felt that being trapped here was like a betrayal.Feeling happy, feeling warm, feeling uplifted, feeling moved, feeling leisurely, these are not allowed, except for sadness, it is all betrayal.

The separation from Kirito, apart from sadness, is all betrayal.Sealing her thoughts and feelings, she kept crying for Kirito in her heart, but she couldn't wash her face with tears, so she could only keep herself busy and stop thinking about it.

However, this was not what Elena hoped for. Her goodwill was ignored, and her approval was erased. Under her passive resistance, the proud she finally showed her disappointed attitude towards herself.Asuna had nothing to say other than sorry.

——In addition to fulfilling Elena's wish, she can't make up for it.

She put on a silk dress.

The author has something to say: Damon Spedo cared a lot about the man who stabbed him once.

Damon Spedo is a standard playboy.

Damon Spedo was all smiles, no one knew what she was thinking, except Elena.

Elena is a irascible queen under her ladylike shell.

Elena loves beautiful things.

Elena praised Daemon's own talent, but thought his fickleness was an unbearable vice.

Asuna's current state of mind is a self-abuse type of decadence, thinking and talking less, a pool of stagnant water, and her heart is full of things.
