"Is this Asuna?
My name is Claire, Claire from the Void Brigade.
Can you please introduce me to her?"
Such a voice came from the right side. a made Asuna stop tearing the bread and glance sharply at it.
Standing on the right side is a very sweet-looking girl with blue hair in a single ponytail.
She seems to be the one who carried Asuna out of the maze unconsciously, and removed what was supposed to be a disjointed person.
The two parallel lines mentioned by the troublemaker Zheng Shuanglong are inextricably connected.
Although there was nothing he could do to deal with Asuna who longed for death, Zheng Shuanglong had already seen through Asuna in this short time together.
Realizing that Asuna would go to the central square, but would not take the initiative to find the team she just mentioned, Asuna was closed in her heart.
Like most solo players, she instinctively refused to contact others.
This is really a troublesome thing.
For this reason, Zheng Shuanglong had to ask Claire, who has excellent mobility and execution ability in his team, to find someone.
If the mountain cannot be overcome, I will go over it.
That's the thing, someone always has to take the first step.
The moment she realized that Claire was a member of the Void Brigade, Asuna's cheeks suddenly heated up.
I should have taken the initiative to contact the other party, but I was lucky enough to hide in this small corner and sit quietly in this small corner.
While eating here shamelessly, I was attacked by Clay from the Void Brigade.
Ya saw it.
A strong sense of shame suddenly spread throughout my body, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
Looking at the black bread in Asuna's hand, Claire tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment.
She smiled and gently moved her hand, taking out a hot and fragrant donkey meat pancake from the inventory and handed it to Asuna.
In front of Na.
He said: "Please, eat this, donkey meat biscuits, a delicacy made by the leader of our Void Brigade.
It is much more delicious than black bread."
Looking at the donkey meat biscuits handed over by Claire. at this time.
Asuna forgot about the shame and confusion, and instead looked at the food in Claire's hand in silence.
Isn’t this a donkey meat sesame cake, a specialty snack from a place over the sea?
It seems that there is no such food in SAO.
Could it be that the players prepared it themselves?
This is impossible.
Is there any player who is in the mood to practice cooking skills at this stage?
That sentence just now.
Made by the leader himself.
So, is this donkey meat biscuit made by that very annoying guy?
No matter how you look at it, you would not think that he is a person who knows how to enter the kitchen.
"Is it really made by some weirdo?
Is it delicious?"
Asuna asked unconsciously in a low voice after taking the donkey meat biscuits handed over by Claire.
After hearing this, Claire smiled as if she was surprised and nodded.
Said: "Of course.
Although Zheng looks very lazy, he is actually a very reliable person.
He is perfect in all aspects, and the food is no exception.
Well, it is very fragrant and delicious.
Yo.”
Said.

Claire sat next to Asuna, took out a donkey meat pancake, took a bite, and looked happy.
"Zheng" didn't understand the meaning of these words, and Asuna tilted her head hidden under her hat.
However, Asuna, who is smart and considerate, soon understood that this was a name for the swordsman who carried her out of the maze.
Claire didn't answer, but instead put her hand into the pocket on the other side and took out a small pottery jar.
Bang, he placed it in the middle of the bench and said, "Try using this on meatloaf.
This is a sauce specially prepared by Zheng.
It's great."
Asuna thought for a moment about the meaning of using it on meatloaf, and soon she realized that it was a unique term used in online games.
Looking at Claire's encouraging eyes, Asuna cautiously stretched out her right hand and touched the lid with her fingers.
A pop-up window menu appeared, and after selecting "Use", the fingertips glowed lavender.
This was the exhalation state of the "object designation mode", so Asuna touched the hot and fragrant donkey meat biscuits she had just received with her left hand.
Suddenly, with a slight sound effect, one side of the meatloaf was covered with brown sauce.
After looking at the black bread and the tempting meatloaf, Asuna decisively put away the half-eaten black bread.
Launched an attack on the donkey meat biscuits.
The bread, which had always been hard and thick, instantly turned into donkey meat biscuits that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a tantalizing aroma.
The pickle-flavored sauce spread in your mouth.
It was yellow and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the donkey meat was very thin, and tasted fragrant and rich.
As if driven by this intoxicating sense of satisfaction, Asuna took two or three more bites, puffing out her cheeks.
Soak it up.
When he came back to his senses, the food in his hands was just as described in the text, not a single bit was left, it was all destroyed.
Looking next to him, he saw that he had finished eating two seconds earlier than Claire.
A strong sense of shame surfaced again, and I really wanted to run away from here, but it would be too rude to leave without expressing my gratitude.
"Thank you for the hospitality."
Asuna, blushing with embarrassment, said softly.
"You're welcome."
Claire, who also finished her meal, said with a smile.
"It's delicious.
Is it really made by Zheng Shuanglong?"
Asuna licked the non-existent sauce on her fingers, as if she was savoring the delicious food before, and asked with her head lowered.
"Of course, this is a delicious meal prepared for us by the proud leader of our Void Brigade.
It is full of love.
It is delicious.
It is the basic benefit of our Void Brigade.
Every member can Enjoying this kind of delicacy, not only that, but also many, many delicacies, although it is not as good as the dishes cooked outside, it is already a great achievement in this world," Claire said proudly .
Finally, Claire looked at Asuna seriously and said, "Would you like to join our Void Brigade?
If you join us, you can enjoy this or that extraordinary delicacy every day."
"To be honest, it's a lie that Asuna remains unmoved in the face of Claire's delicious food.
Not to mention the hot, fragrant and delicious donkey meat sesame pancakes that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Just the unique flavor of the sauce can make even the black bread that sells for one dollar delicious.
I don’t know if it’s out of the sense of satisfaction created by the taste regeneration engine, but I want to stop again, if that’s allowed.
I want to eat it every day.
However, Asuna looked at the ground and shook her face hidden under her hat.
"No, I didn't come to this neighborhood just to eat delicious food."
"That's right.
Then, what are you doing for?"

She heard Asuna's refusal.
Claire asked a little curiously.
Maybe it’s because we’re both women, or maybe it’s because Claire doesn’t have any negative emotions at all, or maybe it’s because she’s influenced by Claire’s sweet smile and positive emotions.
Asuna felt that Claire was someone she could talk to, someone who could calm her restless heart.
Therefore, Asuna never mentioned it to anyone else after she came to this world.
The words hidden in my heart came out bit by bit.
"I am all for my own existence.
Rather than hiding in the Street of Beginning and slowly decaying, it is better to maintain my own existence until the last moment.
Even if I die at the hands of a monster, I don't think I have lost.
Not this game.
Not this world."
Asuna Yuuki Asuna's fifteenth year of life has been a constant battle.
Since the kindergarten entrance exam, she has undergone many trials, large and small, but Asuna has passed them successfully.
Although she was instilled with the idea that "if she loses once, she is worthless," she still withstood the pressure head-on.
And got to now.
When the battle in the fifteenth year was about to end, a so-called trial came.
Faced with this, Asuna thought that she might not be able to win.
A large number of unknown events, many strange rules and culture, it is a battle that cannot be won by one person.
The conditions for victory are to reach the top of the floating city with hundreds of floors and defeat the last enemy.
However, this game has been started for more than half a month, and nearly one-fifth of the players have already quit, and almost all of them are experienced players.
There is very little remaining combat power, but the road to go is still very long.
With words like these, Asuna whispered as if she was slowly opening the floodgates in her heart.
The intermittent monologue, which could not always be spoken in the same tone, entered the ears of Claire, who was sitting quietly beside him, saying nothing with a gentle smile.
But soon Asuna's words stopped as if interrupted by the sunset breeze, and then, an extremely brief and subtle voice came out of Claire's mouth.
"Feel sorry" After a few seconds, Asuna was very surprised as to why the other party said this.
Today was the first time I saw this big sister with a gentle smile.
She probably had no reason to apologize to me.
Asuna peeked out of her hat at the blue-haired girl sitting next to her on the bench.
She looked at the existence named Claire and her lips moved slightly, and the sweet but decisive voice came again.
"I'm sorry.
I apologize to you on behalf of the leader of my family.
Today's situation will occur.
In other words, in a sense, it was the leader of my family who forced you into this situation.
I'm really sorry.
What was originally You have been prepared to die with peace of mind, but you are brought back from death, but there is no hope of living for you to continue.
I'm really, really sorry that you continue to be so desperate.
If, I mean if, I had known that you had given up hope and wanted to die, I would never have come here.
Hope is given to the living. , is not left to the dead.
All that can be left to the dead is endless emptiness and loneliness.”
"Do you want to come over?
I won't interfere with you.
Even if you want to leave, there is no problem.
I will explain it to the leader.
Go with peace of mind.
I promise that even if you encounter this kind of situation next time, even if it is my family The leader still can't help but want to meddle in other people's business.

I will stop him so that he can't interfere.
It's hard to make people unable to survive.
Since you want to die, Why do we need to do so?"
After saying these decisive words, she clapped her hands gently, Claire stood up, and invited her calmly and politely: "Why don't you come to our station for a meal before leaving?
After all, the leader has issued a warning to you.
I would be in trouble if I couldn't even follow the most basic etiquette."
Frightened by Claire's decisive words, Asuna could not imagine that the girl who had smiled so gently before and seemed to have all the tenderness in the world could say it so coldly in the next moment.
Such hurtful words.
Asuna, who was frozen by the ice on Ice Girl Claire's body, and hurt by those unkind words, had the urge to run away.
However, instinctively, Asuna was curious about the Void Brigade, which she had no interest in at all.
What was it like for the Void Brigade to have a strange leader like Zheng Shuanglong, and a strange girl like Claire?
Yes, why can they laugh so happily in such a desperate, sad, and terrifying death game.
Smiling so brightly.
This smile, this brilliant smile, deeply attracted Asuna's desperate heart, which was oppressed by the death game.
Asuna instinctively didn't want to end it all like this.
Want to join.
Don't want to join.
Asuna herself didn't know which one she wanted.
"I" Asuna was in a conflicted mood.
She didn't know how to respond to Claire's invitation, and she didn't know how to face the Ice Maiden.
"Let's go, there's no need to be so polite.
Our Void Brigade can still afford a meal.
It's a bit late now.
If we don't go back, everyone will be waiting anxiously."
And everything has been calculated.
Claire didn't give Asuna the time to be in a daze.
She decisively took Asuna's cold white hand and dragged Asuna away.
Asuna, who was dragged away by Claire, instinctively looked at the small hands held together, feeling the false but real warmth in the hands, and her heart began to tremble unconsciously.
Asuna didn't know whether the virtual world composed of this data could also have such warmth.
However, what Asuna understood was that although her originally shaken and fearful heart was still so fearful and uneasy, it was no longer so carefree and carefree.
In this false world built by data, we have found our own reality.
The warmth in the hands and the emotion in the heart are reality.
At this moment, Asuna had expectations for the Void Brigade.
It seems that joining a team that gives me a real Claire is not a bad thing
