"Tsk, where is this?" He shook his vague head and muttered to himself.

"This is a hotel on the 35th floor." A cold voice reached Xie Ming's ear, and Xie Ming turned to look at the speaker.

A faint moonlight shone on her long chestnut hair, her delicate face had an indescribable expression, her pupils were piercing, and a light blue knight's rapier hung around her waist.

"Asuna?" Xie Ming recognized the person next to him. "What's the matter? Why am I here?"

"Why are you here?" Asuna seemed to be touched with anger, staring at Xie Ming: "A single person singled out more than 100 murderers, plus the special event BOSS. You are really majestic, Mr. Earl!"

"Ah..." Recalling that, Xie Ming recalled that after killing PoH, he passed out because of maintaining the purple magic pupil for too long.

"So, you saved me? Thanks." Xie Ming smiled bitterly.

"Then, you can explain your actions. Why do you want to do such a dangerous thing alone?" Asuna stared at Xie Ming and asked.

"...Why is there so many?" Xie Ming stood up, patted his clothes, and said.

"Ha~ Are you an idiot? Do you know how dangerous what you are doing? Several meetings of our strategy team have also made proposals to arrest you and send you to prison during this year. Do you know?!" Na excitedly patted the table and glared at Xie Ming.

"What I want to do has nothing to do with anyone. Even if it's death, it's the ending I chose." Xie Ming was unmoved, looking directly at Asuna.

"You!!" Asuna's chest stretched quickly, then she sat in the chair and turned her head to look out the window, not wanting to deal with the bastard again.

Xie Ming touched the back of his head and felt that he was a bit too much, and he actually treated his savior like this.

"All in all, thank you for saving me. In return, I invite you to come to my house for a delicious meal."

Asuna sitting by the window moved her ears, but pretended not to hear.

"It's an S-grade ingredient, and my cooking skills have reached the point where I can cook it." Xie Ming continued to tempt.

(PS: S-level ingredients are the top food ingredients in SAO, but you must have the corresponding skills to deal with them, otherwise it's just a waste.)

The girl stood up at once, opened the door of the room, and then looked back at Xie Ming who was there.

"What are you still doing? Lead the way."

"..." Xie Ming couldn't laugh or cry as he looked at the girl who had changed so much.

——————

22 floors, lakeside villa.

"Then, please." Xie Ming brought out the stew as the main course and said.

"Unexpectedly, you actually live in such a beautiful place." It was only the first time I visited Xie Ming's home, Asuna was conquered by the scenery here.

Quiet lush forests, wood-paved roads, wooden houses and villages.

All in all, it feels like ‘ah, this is home’.

"Well, it's very quiet here, and when you look at the beautiful scenery here when you are tired, your heart will be healed a little." Xie Ming's expression is also soft.

"By the way, the dishes are ready, let's start."

Looking at the plentiful and delicious dishes on the table, Asuna subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, and then deliberately put on a serious face.

"I'll talk to you first. I won't forgive you if it doesn't taste good."

"I see, eat it quickly."

"So...."

"I started." "I started~" (PS: Japanese etiquette before eating)

Asuna first filled herself with half a bowl of stew in a spoon, took a sip, and then her eyes began to shine.

Then he took another bite of the meat in the stew.

"what is this?"

Delicate meat, silky taste, fragrance and juice that burst out in the mouth when you bite it down.

Then he took another sip of the soup, and the whole person was drunk.

The remaining taste in the mouth is paired with the mellow soup, but there is no conflict in the taste, but coordination and complementarity. It's just like....

"It's like an orchestra played by nature."

Asuna felt as if she had come to an endless grassland, the sky goshawk swept across, and the goats in the distance were eating the lush green grass leisurely.

And he is riding a pure white horse, galloping on this vast grassland.

"How is it, satisfied?" Xie Ming's voice awakened her. Asuna quickly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, trying to cover her gaffe.

"How is this cooking made? Teach me!" Asuna looked at Xie Ming with bright eyes.

"...This meat is an S-grade ingredient, and it may not be the next time after eating this time." Xie Ming smiled bitterly.

"So what about the others, what do the other materials go with?!"

"I can give it to you if you want. Let's eat first. I'm also hungry."

"Oh, good. But you must give it to me!"

"I know, I know."

——————

"Huh, I really want Tenten to eat this kind of food." The full Asuna drank the tea that Xie Ming brought her, and said happily.

Xie Ming chuckled lightly and took a sip of the tea in the cup.

"By the way, I didn't expect a lonely person like you to be so good at cooking." Asuna said suddenly, looking at the night view outside the window.

"Withdrawal..." Xie Ming did not expect to receive such an evaluation, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

"Isn't it?" Asuna blinked and counted one by one with her fingers stretched out.

"I have been living alone, I have to solve everything by myself, and I don't tell anyone else when something goes wrong. After all, how many friends are there in your friends column?"

"..." Xie Ming stretched out his hand to open the menu, clicked on his friend, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Two."

"Puff~, cough cough" Asuna, who was drinking water choked, looked at Xie Ming incredulously: "How many do you say?"

"...There are only 2 people in the Friends column, Argo and I."

"......"

"Hey, why do you look at me with such pity? It makes me so irritated."

Asuna shook her head and sighed. "Although I know you are very lonely, but I didn't expect it to be like this. This is too much, SAO has been in service for a year, and you only added one friend!?"

"What's the matter?" Xie Ming didn't realize his pity at all. "Daguai can upgrade me alone. Argo is also the one time I killed the BOSS and found that there was a sneaky little mouse behind him, and wanted to get from her. I got some information and added her as a friend for convenience. But thanks to him, I have been so smooth this year."

"...Do you have some misunderstandings about the friend system of this game?" Asuna shook her head, then pulled out her menu and clicked a few times.

A prompt bar appeared in front of Xie Ming.

"Player Asuna applied to become your friend, do you agree?"

Then she looked at the girl who turned her head in front of her.

"What's the matter? The deputy head is very compassionate to become your friend, don't you accept it quickly?" Asuna stared at Xie Ming and smiled kindly.

"...I don't think there is much..." Xie Ming wanted to say something, but the girl on the opposite side had turned her kind smile into a'kind' smile, and a handful of meals appeared in her hand unknowingly. Knife.

"...I know." This is definitely not Xie Ming's counseling. The Spartans are fearless, but they don't want to hurt the girl's kindness.

Yes, exactly.

Xie Ming said silently in his heart, and clicked the agree button.
