A lesson can be learned from heaven and earth, his old William is a serious businessman, and he has never been involved in human trafficking/trafficking.

"........."

As soon as these words came out, Asuna, who originally wanted to say hello to the other party, twitched the corner of her mouth.

Are you polite?

I'm so big and stuck here, but you can still treat me like a commodity, how bad is your look...

"Asuna is my friend, not your goods." Arturia, who seemed to have installed an old William translator, quickly understood what the businessman meant and answered him.

"We just met on the road and came back together."

........So this is ah!

After the NPC reacted, he immediately understood that he just had a big oolong.

"Miss, I was really sorry just now." He laughed twice, his small eyes blinked as if they were cut out of reed leaves, and an apologetic smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"Look at my eyes and head. I didn't know how to do it at that time, but I couldn't turn around."

When he smiled, his facial features were all wrinkled together, and he looked like a large Maitreya Buddha.

Asuna wasn't angry at all, but when she saw such a scene, she suddenly felt a little funny for no reason.

"It's okay." She stretched out her hand and waved it, indicating that the other party was not angry because of this trivial matter. "This kind of misunderstanding is also caused by my silence just now, so please don't worry about it."

The two of them said a few more words, and the matter was considered to be over.

"All the goods have been inspected, and there is no problem." Nodding in satisfaction, the NPC merchant turned around and said to Artoria appreciatively.

"Whether it is quality or efficiency, the completion of your tasks is obvious to all."

"You did a really good job, so I decided to pay you more." He looked at the blond girl with a smile/smiling, "The original reward was two thousand cols, and I'll add another five hundred to you. Do you think a total of [-] cols is enough?"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Artoria's eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Of course." She smiled happily, and the corners of her mouth and forehead were also full of smiles, and she even brought a brisk rhythm to her every move and every gesture.

"Thank you very much, sir."

She nodded and saluted the NPC again, "Thank you for your recognition."

As the system notification popped up that the [-] cols had arrived, this mission was considered over.

Just as Arturia and Asuna were about to leave here, that fat old William finally asked her.

"I have a question. Can you tell me how did you pull this truck back?"

So, after getting the real answer from the blond girl, the businessman showed a hint of horror in his eyes, and looked at the other party in disbelief.

"...This is really amazing, you must have been exercising a lot, don't you?"

Although he used interrogative sentences, his tone was indeed very independent and determined.

"Only by being impeccable can we achieve constant victories and invincibility." In the face of his praise, the girl's fair face showed no emotional fluctuations.

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Asuna who was standing aside, she was almost stunned, okay?

How did things get to this point! ?

Asuna complained frantically in her heart.

As far as Pendragon's strength is concerned, that's not something that can be achieved through exercise at all! !

Old Mr. William, how did you connect your brains to such a weird conversation? !

Pendragon aside, are you serious about this NPC? !

Is there something wrong with your system logic program? !

After waving goodbye to the amiable businessman, Arturia and Asuna walked on the streets of the town, stepping on the bluestone slabs, listening to the noise of the crowd, it seemed a little quiet for a while.

"Hey, Asuna."

The blond king took two quick steps and then turned around to face the girl, who was tireless and smiling softly.

"I just received the reward for this mission, so if you don't mind, may I invite you to have dinner with me?"

That smile was like the refreshing wind in the mountains, the sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves, and the spots of light that fell on his body made the boy's figure pale like a gouache painting that had been treasured for many years.

Asuna stared blankly at the picturesque scene in front of her, and for a moment didn't know how to respond with words.

After a long time, she opened her lips lightly.

"......I am glad to."

Not knowing what mood she was in, the flaxen-haired girl finally agreed to the other party's invitation.

In the world of "SAO", even if it's just a virtual character, players still have to eat.

I don't know if it's Kayaba Akihiko's bad taste, or he really wants to create a very real world. In short, there is a hunger value on the player's panel.

Once the character becomes hungry, the stamina and health will start to drop slowly.

Even if everyone knows that eating in this virtual world can only eliminate the feeling of hunger, it will not affect your body in the real world at all.

Maybe in normal games, there would be people who would die and not care about it, but under the current situation, no one dared to increase their hunger.

——So the meal should be just right.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Artoria asked the girl, "Or, is there anything you want to eat?"

The words of the blond boy made Asuna stunned for a moment, she lowered her head in thought for a moment, she was frustrated to find that she didn't know what to eat, and there was no recommendation in her mind.

This can't be blamed on her. The reason is that her own wallet is not rich.

After all, a few days ago, Asuna was still in a passive and pessimistic state. At that time, she was unwilling to find tasks, and she was unwilling to improve her level. She only wanted to wait for rescue from the outside world.

Although she has seen the reality clearly now, it has only been a few days, and the game can't make money, and she hasn't done any tasks before, so the girl's pocket is really shy.

To put it a little embarrassingly, before meeting Pendragon, she only ate the cheapest black bread for three meals a day, and then drank well water that was available everywhere.

"...Sorry." Asuna lowered her head, and pulled the cloak on her body with her fingers in embarrassment, "I don't know where to go."

Gentleman Artoria handed over the right to choose, but she didn't expect to get such a reply from the girl.

Seeing the flaxen-haired girl blushing with embarrassment, she froze for a moment, and then suddenly realized the reason.

"Well......."

Slightly concentrating for a moment, she nodded as if she pretended not to notice anything, and said to the other party with a gentle attitude.

"In this case, I have a restaurant recommended, can you accompany me?"

There are many cherry trees on both sides of the street, the flowers and leaves are growing in the wind, and the light pink petals are flying down.

Even if it is late cherry blossoms, this season has already come to an end.

The sunlight fell on Artoria's face through the dense branches and leaves, and the light fell on her lake-colored eyes, bright and beautiful.

'I was taken care of. '

Asuna could clearly feel the kindness of the other party, and it was because of this that she was moved in her heart.

It's like silver-gray sticky and wet spider silk, woven into a gentle web, covering the whole world of spring.

"Okay, let's go there then."

The girl heard herself replying to the blond boy with an unbelievably soft voice.

So, Arturia took Asuna, and the two of them came to the restaurant called "Beautiful encounter".

In the game world, ordering food is a very interesting thing.

There are no waiters, you only need to place an order in their restaurant system, and the dishes will appear on the table the moment after payment.

Arturia likes this mode because it always gives her a very high-tech illusion.

After ordering her own dishes, Artoria looked up and saw the girl's somewhat tangled face.

——It seems that he has a choice difficulty.

After thinking for a while, she said to the other party, "The beef stew and buttered bread here taste very good, maybe you can try it."

"In that case, give me these two."

Nodding her head in relief, Asuna simply stopped being entangled and chose to follow the other party's advice.

The meal lasted for nearly an hour, and the ending was a happy one for both guests and hosts.

After eating black bread continuously for nearly half a month, the girl felt the healing from food for the first time.

Walking out of the restaurant in a good mood, she turned her head to the side of the teenager and slightly frowned, "Today you not only saved my life, but also invited me to dinner."

Having said that, she paused for a while, and bowed solemnly to Artoria, "Thank you, Pendragon."

Straightening up, Asuna looked deeply at the person in front of her.

As the sun sets, there is a round of setting sun behind him. He is a boy who can hold back the sun.

The girl was serious, she was really grateful to herself, and Artoria clearly recognized this fact.

So she didn't dodge, and stood where she was and received the gift from the other party.

After Asuna expressed her gratitude, she took a step forward, and her light golden eyes and those green green eyes met.

"I think we're already friends."

"So..." Her voice trembled as if she was a little nervous, "If possible, can we add friends?"

She didn't know if the other party would agree, but when she thought that she might be rejected, some bitter sour water seemed to rise in her heart.

However.........

"Of course no problem."

Artoria showed Asuna a gentle smile.

"In fact, I was still thinking about this just now, such as when it would be more appropriate to say it."

Her eyes were glazed, with a faint smile on her face.

And that smile was even softer than the sky at dawn.

"Asuna." She stretched out her hand, and then said to the girl who was a little dazed.

"In the days to come, please take care of me."

In the long time of half a month, the girl finally met such a person, like the warm light of the ancient city, like the cool wind of the grassland, from morning to night, from the mountains to the people, she stretched out her hands to her lonely self.

Asuna thought, how many twilights would it take to have such a twilight?How many chance encounters does it take to have such a chance encounter?

But no matter what, she knew one thing in her heart.

So far, she no longer walks alone.

Chapter 9 Consolation of a girl's first love ([-] in [-])

There is none better than her.

Nian Yu has been wandering in the world all his life, and there is no one like her.

Asuna dragged her cheeks, staring blankly at the blond girl in front of her.

Arturia was looking down at her fine iron long sword at this time, her beautiful face was just like a magic wand in the hands of a magician, it could reveal all the hidden beauty around.

The soft sunlight seems to have become a sentient creature at that moment, and the spring seems to have a certain image suddenly, just like the sun restrains the stars in the sky, this girl makes the sky, the atmosphere, the light and her surroundings Everything revolves around her.

He is obviously such a gentleman, and he always looks as gentle as jade.However, there is fire in the heart and light in the eyes.

but why?

Why is it that such a gentleman, such a young man, is actually a woman?

She looked at it, and finally couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh from her mouth.

Just a few days ago, Asuna was brought home by her handsome blond brother.

Just because Asuna was penniless and had nowhere to go, Arturia extended a helping hand again.

Shocking, but rightly so.
