[Comprehensive] Goodbye, Asuna

Chapter 9 Feeding cows and eating peonies has nothing to do with bullfighting

Asuna suspected that something was wrong with her ears, she turned her head slightly, frowned, and said, "What, what did you say?"

The corners of Arnold's raised lips looked menacing. He unbuttoned the windbreaker one by one, and casually threw the windbreaker on the wooden floor. The windbreaker drew a curve in the air like a flag. If Ya If Sina noticed, she would find that the windbreaker fell to the ground without making a sound because of his forceful technique, and she could only hear Arnold say: "I only hope that before this battle, you can also be full of confidence. I don't want to Fight a stray dog."

"Fight? Why?" Asuna shook her head in disbelief, "No, why are we fighting? Besides, strenuous exercise right after eating is harmful to the body."

Arnold was impatient: "Giotto has already given me the gauntlet, if you are not here to fight, what is it for?"

Asuna was surprised: "Giotto gave you the gauntlet? Do you know who I am?"

"Giotto is my defeated opponent. I don't know if you can surprise me, Asuna, the leader of the consultants outside Pengo Lie's door. I have been observing you for a week. Except for the first day, you are remarkable. Makes me unmotivated."

Asuna had the urge to go back and hang Giotto on the clock tower to flog the public. She took a deep breath to suppress the displeasure in her heart.She felt as if she had been betrayed by someone, and she was the last to discover this, she felt fooled.The fierce tone betrayed her displeasure: "Giotto is not your opponent, and Giotto is not my opponent. I think you will not be my opponent either."

Arnold didn't talk nonsense, just like the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month, taking away the warmth without leaving a trace, and his fighting was merciless.He took out a dark pistol, and the black handcuffs around his waist made a soft sound of metal collision. Suddenly, in the restaurant, the smell of gunpowder smoke covered the aroma of food.

Asuna drew the silver rapier, raised her chest and raised her head, the silver light shone randomly, turning the restaurant into a battlefield.

##

This is a bitter battle. The enemy is not only powerful, but the most difficult thing to deal with is his indomitable will.If you are knocked down, you will stand up again, ferocious like a wolf, patient like a snake waiting for a rabbit, and tough like an immortal cockroach.

Asuna, covered in smoke and fibrous wounds, stepped out of the ruins.The chaos behind her was the ruins whose original shape could not be seen, and Asuna was the only person standing there.Asuna won, but she still had lingering fears. Facing Arnold was like facing a prehistoric monster in Sao.He has such an aura that can take away his courage.

However, she won.Asuna turned her head and looked at Arnold, who was no longer in the know. She inserted the silver rapier into the scabbard at her waist.The wounds and dirt on the body also returned to cleanliness because it was time to refresh.So she was out of tune with the battlefield.A spotless triumph, Asuna was relieved and excited thinking about it like this, this kind of excitement is no different from winning a pk in sao, or killing a **oss.

Asuna walked lightly, intending to fling her sleeves and leave gracefully, and laugh at her defeated opponent the next day.She was proud and high-spirited, and suddenly, the tip of her shoe kicked something, sending it flying high.

Asuna's mood suddenly changed when she saw the thing that flew high and had to be forced to fall to the ground and fell into seven pieces.It was a beautiful, custom-made dining plate in a kiln owned by an amiable couple.Asuna used to pick one after another, picking out the most favorite plates, and then used them to serve the dishes she was satisfied with, and served them to her satisfied diners.

They should be placed on the table with a clean tablecloth, next to the soft candlelight and delicious champagne, or stacked one by one in the solid wood cupboard in the kitchen, waiting to be used.However, it became debris like garbage, lying on the ground.

Asuna moved her gaze upwards from the fragments of the plate. In the dazzling reflection of the fragments of the plate, the chef's Asuna and the knight's Asuna looked at each other from a distance. The chef's Asuna showed a sad expression, while the knight's Asuna looked sad. Asuna froze with no expression on her face.

##

"How about it, do you think it's delicious?"

Asuna turned her head and asked in Arnold's direction, just like the question after every meal in those seven days.

There was no answer, and there was only the smell of gunpowder smoke in the wind that blew.

##

Arnold woke up from a coma, feeling pain all over his body, as if he had been thrown into the deep sea for [-] miles, crushed by the high water pressure there, and then thrown into the mountain by the crustal movement, crushing a mountain on his body.He let out a weak urge, forced his body to move, and unexpectedly stood up slowly.

Arnold held on to the broken rafters that were inserted obliquely on the ground. If he hadn’t dodged quickly, the thing would have pierced his body. He held on to it, and his body was pierced with many holes like a sieve. Some of them had stopped bleeding, and some were bleeding black. Blood.Suddenly, he started to tremble slightly, the more he shook, the bigger the amplitude, and he was even on the verge of falling, and his hoarse laughter gradually echoed in the ruins: "Hahahahahahahaha!!!"

##

the next day.

"Being your enemy is more interesting than being your companion." With plaster on his hands and gauze on his face, the defeated Arnold was arrogant and cheerful.At the meeting table, he said to Asuna, rejecting Asuna's proposal.

"Maybe I should let you beat me?" Asuna said helplessly.

"Then I won't look at you again." Arnold frowned, "It's impossible to talk like that again."

"So, we can't talk at all?" Asuna asked, "Is there a tie?"

"There will be no draws in real battles. If there are draws, it's just a small game." Arnold talked about the appearance of the battle, which reminded Asuna of herself when talking about cooking, "You are very strong, I admit it. But you hold Fighting with a game-like mentality would be too disappointing for me."

"Are you complaining? Arnold. Complaining that I keep people under the sword?" Asuna felt that he couldn't understand it. "Maybe I can put you in a coffin and send it to Vengley to show Giotto."

Arnold let out a cold snort.

"In that case." Pushing away the chair, Asuna stood up, put her hands on the desk, said "I don't want to talk to you again" expression on her face, "We can't talk anymore, I'll go back Mansion, go back to Vengley, and tell Giotto that my mission failed. But he should be very happy that I helped him avenge his defeat."

Arnold looked at Asuna, he was a little surprised: "Going home?"

"You want to keep me?" Asuna joked, "If you keep me, I might stay."

Arnold rubbed his chin with his left hand.

Asuna walked towards the door.

"Wait. Don't go yet."

Asuna suddenly heard Arnold's voice, she turned her head in surprise: "Could it be that you really want to keep me?"

Arnold raised his eyebrows, pointed to the teapot with his left hand: "I'm thirsty, make me a cup of tea, before you leave." He pointed to his broken right arm and explained, "It's inconvenient."

Asuna was annoyed and funny, but she turned back, went back to the table, picked up the fine porcelain teapot, and made a cup of black tea with rock sugar and milk, which is more popular among women as a prank: "Heal the stomach, beautify the skin, and taste sweet." Yasi Na raised her eyebrows and brought him the black tea.

Arnold took a sip, no surprise, immediately frowned, "It's too sweet," he looked up at Asuna, then lowered his head, and drank the black tea in one gulp, "But it's not bad."

Asuna shrugged, suddenly lost her words.

##

For Asuna, cooking is obviously more interesting than fighting, and she also likes cooking more.

As far as Arnold is concerned, things other than fighting are not exciting.He would feel delicious when eating Asuna's carefully prepared dishes, but that was all, and he would not put his energy into how to eat more delicious food.Maybe many years later, Asuna's shadow will be blurred, and Arnold will remember that Asuna is just a "very strong opponent". Disappeared.

Asuna said to him: If you can allocate a little of that concentration to food, you will find more fun.

And Arnold also said to her: If you put your enthusiasm for cooking into fighting, you will become the best opponent

.

Thinking of her week's hard work, in the end it was just an oolong peony fed to the cow—and it was a tough pit bull—Asuna had the urge to hit the wall.

Asuna was riding in a carriage, which would shortly be filled with a huge ship and return to Sicily.As the leader, Asuna's mission was not completed, and it was enough to just throw it to Giotto; as the chef, Asuna fed Peony to the cow, and the cow said it was not bad, and that was enough.

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write a battle scene, but I couldn't imagine how to fight with handcuffs.The New Year is coming soon, everyone should be happy.
