Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Flirting
Misumi Tozawa subconsciously wanted to nod, but then suddenly shook her head. She grabbed Asuna's shoulders and shook her, saying, "What am I supposed to know? Please, if you're asking for relationship advice, be more specific! Don't be so vague! You weren't like this before!"
Asuna, feeling a little dizzy from being shaken, pushed Misumi Tozawa's hands away and said again, "It's just that our relationship is a bit awkward. There's only that one barrier left, and I'm too embarrassed to break through it."
Misumi Tozawa suddenly understood. She said directly, "You want me to be your wingman?"
Asuna didn't understand what she meant and asked strangely, "Wingman?"
Misumi Tozawa covered her forehead, feeling speechless. "Wingman means someone who helps you, an assistant. It means you need me to help you out?"
After thinking for a moment, Asuna looked at Naoki Kirigaya, and their eyes met. He subconsciously gave her a smile.
Dazzling blonde hair, handsome face, cheerful smile.
But just thinking about his flirtatious behavior, Asuna couldn't help but chuckle coldly.
"Hmph, a scumbag," she thought.
Naoki Kirigaya felt inexplicably confused. He just glanced at Asuna. Did she have to look at him with such a disgusted expression?
After handing the equipment over to Kazuto Kirigaya, he said to everyone, "Let's get ready. It's time to go to the second floor."
Kazuto Kirigaya happily put on the Midnight Coat he had just received.
It had to be said, Kazuto Kirigaya really looked good in this coat.
The black windbreaker swayed with the boy's every step, and Kazuto Kirigaya's slightly childish face became much more handsome with the addition of this coat.
Naoki Kirigaya clicked his tongue in wonder. He patted Kirito's shoulder and joked, "Should I call you the 'Black Swordsman' from now on?"
He knew that Kazuto Kirigaya was known as the Black Swordsman and Beater in the original story.
And in the future, no matter where he went, Kazuto Kirigaya would always wear this black windbreaker.
This showed how much he liked this piece of clothing.
He walked towards Asuna and Misumi Tozawa, but the looks in their eyes made Naoki Kirigaya feel a little strange.
Ignoring Asuna's strange gaze, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Let's do it the old way. Asuna and I will be a team, and Misumi Tozawa, you'll be with Kazuto Kirigaya. As usual, I'll let you know if I find the door."
After returning to the Town of Beginnings to rest and recover to full health, they prepared to set off, taking Asuna to the second floor area.
[You have entered the second floor: Urbus]
The main street area is called Urbus, a town created by hollowing out the middle of a circular mountain with a diameter of about 300 meters, leaving only the outer perimeter.
After leaving the main street and heading west, you'll find that the diameter here is similar to the first floor, a tropical region dominated by grasslands and rocks.
Small mountains are scattered around, with many small caves, and underground water veins flow through the caves.
The second floor is divided into a vast northern region and a narrow southern region. The western side is inhabited by a large number of wild bull-type creatures. These creatures have high HP and are very tough.
Although their attacks are clumsy, getting hit by one will still cause a lot of damage.
However, these monsters were no match for Naoki Kirigaya and Asuna. He leveled up with Asuna, successfully dropping several good pieces of equipment, and after slightly upgrading his own gear, he continued to level up.
This leveling continued for an entire afternoon.
When the light in the distance completely dimmed and the sun set, Naoki Kirigaya reluctantly returned to Urbus.
Following the prompts, he found an inn, and according to his usual habit, prepared to part ways with Asuna.
But Asuna looked at Naoki Kirigaya with a strange look in her eyes before leaving.
Naoki Kirigaya touched his nose strangely and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Asuna took a deep breath, hesitated, and finally sighed, saying, "Go on."
"???" Naoki Kirigaya was full of question marks.
He looked at Asuna with a gradually unfriendly gaze. Were girls these days so hard to understand?
Naoki Kirigaya sighed helplessly, turned around, and prepared to take care of his own business.
Asuna stood silently in front, watching the boy's departing back, and sighed silently.
"What an idiot," she thought.
She turned and walked towards the inn.
In the bathroom, Naoki Kirigaya soaked in the hot water. The warm water warmed the boy's entire body, and just soaking here lazily seemed like a good choice.
Just as the boy was still soaking in the hot water, a message appeared in the chat interface. He curiously opened it and saw a message from Asuna.
Asuna: Want to come to my room?
Suddenly, Naoki Kirigaya stood up from the hot water, his eyes wide.
Naoki Kirigaya quickly replied, his fingers typing like a blur.
Naoki: Have you lost your mind?
But he regretted it as soon as he sent it. He slapped himself in the face. He was so used to being frivolous that he joked about everything.
The girl was already being so proactive. How could he be so flippant?
Naoki Kirigaya tried to fix the situation, quickly typing a reply: "Um, I won't close the door when I sleep at night. I'll leave a crack for you."
On the other side, Asuna was lying lazily on the white bed.
Asuna was wearing a loose white nightgown. The white skirt was scattered on the soft bed. Even the loose nightgown couldn't hide her perfect figure. Asuna was undoubtedly an extremely beautiful woman. She had a very standard oval face, delicate features, chestnut eyes with a hint of shyness, and cherry-like lips and a fair neck that made people's hearts flutter.
In short, Asuna could indeed be considered a bombshell. If Naoki Kirigaya saw her, he would probably sigh that "Book Asuna" was not an undeserved reputation.
Her cheek was against the bedding, and she was staring at the system chat interface in a daze.
In fact, sending this message was a well-thought-out decision. She had even asked Misumi Tozawa for her opinion, and after considering all aspects, she finally decided to type these words.
Even though it was just a few short words, Asuna took ten minutes to type them, looked at the message for three minutes, and even blushed when she clicked send.
She finally mustered the courage to send this message.
She could even imagine all sorts of expressions on Naoki Kirigaya's face, maybe a slightly smug smile, or even a lewd expression, which she wouldn't say she couldn't understand. After all, Asuna was actually very confident in her appearance.
But looking at this message, she hesitated, and then hesitated again.
Naoki: Have you lost your mind?
Asuna's eyes stared at these small words. What was this supposed to mean?
Suppressing the urge to strangle Naoki Kirigaya, she took a deep breath, but then he sent another message.
She subconsciously looked at it.
Naoki: Um, I won't close the door when I sleep at night. I'll leave a crack for you.
Silently closing the system panel, the slightly shy emotions she had felt earlier instantly disappeared.
The bright moonlight shone through the window, and the hazy moonlight intertwined with the white bedding.
Exhaling a breath of air, she had no desires or wants at this point.
As for Naoki Kirigaya, he could go die.
