Planting the World Tree From Pirates

"Selmobrook" is a beautiful castle city located on the 61st floor.

Although the scale is small, it is all exquisitely crafted from white granite.

There is a city street centered on the ancient city of gorgeous minarets, which is a beautiful contrast to most of the green spaces that dot it, and there are quite a variety of shops in the market.

Although many players want to use this place as a base, the price of the room is too expensive - about three times more than the 50th floor of Algort - if it is not a fairly high-level player, it is almost impossible to have a room here.

Makino suspects that a great **** like Kayaba Akihiko once had the unbearable experience of being a "house slave".

Otherwise, tens of thousands of players will still suffer from the problem of "can't afford a house" after being trapped in the death game.

When Makino and Asuna arrived at the transfer gate of Selmobrook, the moon was already in the sky, and the entire street was shrouded in a layer of white gauze like water.

Although it is not the first time I have arrived in this castle city, it is the first time I have seen this beautiful moonlight.

For a while, Muye's heart seemed to have undergone some training, and his whole person became much clearer.

Seeing Makino's Makino, Asuna said half-jokingly, "Selmobrook's night view is beautiful, right? Would you like to buy this floor of the house too?"

To buy this floor of the house, let alone a little heartbeat.

But when he thought of the price of the house on this floor, Makino immediately retreated.

"Forget it, I can't afford a house on this floor!"

Asuna felt a little weird and asked curiously, "Can't afford it? This doesn't sound like what the president of Wings of Freedom would say!"

Exactly.

The president and vice president of the Great Guild are so arrogant!

Asuna earned such a large fortune that she was even willing to buy a house in Bulmobrook. In addition to her own income from farming monsters, there was also the salary for the deputy commander of the Knights of the Blood.

As the president of Wings of Freedom, Muye's salary will definitely not be worse than that of her deputy head.

Muye: "Yes, yes, but it's too wasteful to spend such a large sum of money on buying a house."

After hearing Makino's words, Asuna didn't say any more.

Everyone's consumption concept is different, and how to live is a personal choice.

Asuna would not foolishly impose her own ideas on others, let alone on Makino, a man with extremely subjective ideas.

The area of ​​the sixty-first floor is almost completely occupied by the lake, and Selmobrook is an island in the center of the lake. It is no exaggeration to describe Selmobrook as a water city.

The silver splendor sprinkled, and the lake was sparkling, as beautiful and unique as an oil painting.

Seeing this hazy street with silvery white glittering in the background of the vast lake, Makino's heart couldn't help but be deeply moved by this too beautiful scene.

For the new-generation diamond semiconductor core processor equipped by NERvGear, this light processing is just a trick.

but.

This kind of beauty intertwined with light and darkness is a dream far beyond reality, and everything is full of poetic and picturesque.

The transfer gate is set in the square in front of the ancient city, and the main street with street trees on both sides starts from the square and crosses the city street, extending all the way to the south.

There are high-end shops and houses on both sides of the road. Players who pass by are not bad for their clothes. As for those NPCs, they give people a feeling of aristocracy.

Even Makino has a sense of dislocation from the countryside to the wealthy area of ​​​​the big city!

Makino and Asuna walked side by side, and their steps were unexpectedly neat and harmonious.

However, there were many players who passed by the two along the way, which inevitably attracted the attention of many players.

There's no way to do this. Who made Makino and Asuna both rare celebrities in SAO?

However, neither Makino nor Asuna took it too seriously.

Whether it's rumors or gossip, can you still slander Makino?

Asuna didn't care, and Makino didn't care.

I have to say that the various designs in SAO are really very realistic.

It was obvious that he was just crossing a street, but because the person accompanying him was Asuna, Makino had a completely different feeling.

It's like... a date shopping?

along the way.

Asuna kept lingering in stores run by major NPCs or players, especially when Makino was still paying, the feeling of dating was even more obvious.

One thing Makino admired was that all the shops in the street, both players and NPCs, knew Asuna.

Makino was stunned when he saw that Asuna bargained with an NPC for a beautiful gift box.

Can the game of SAO still be played like this?

When he heard Asuna say that as long as the NPC's favorability reaches a certain level, the probability of successful bargaining can reach 90%, Makino suddenly felt that he had added some strange knowledge.

This feeling is like-

Nami complained to Newsbird because of the increase in newspaper prices, which made Newsbird feel pressured.

The sense of picture is really too strong!

Seeing that Asuna was busy preparing gifts for him, Makino felt a little embarrassed.

Makino really didn't know that a small gift actually required so much thought.

I have to say that sometimes boys' thinking and girls' thinking are really not on the same channel.

When Asuna finally finished shopping, the night market in Selmobrook was about to disperse, and the streets became sparsely populated.

When Asuna said "it's here", Makino knew that Asuna's house was the third floor of a very beautiful and compact apartment.

The apartment...the mansion!

Makino was a little surprised, but he accepted it very quickly.

Unlike Huaxia, the mansions of the wealthy in Japan are generally high-rise apartments in big cities.

As for the single-family villa, it is the residence of the poor.

The house design of SAO obviously continues the set of the real world.

"come in!"

Asuna, who opened the door, greeted her with the attitude of a master.

Although Makino had long known that Asuna had a "mansion" worth 4 million kels, but he felt that it was completely different.

In SAO, players are generally under a lot of pressure. Even a local tyrant like Muye doesn't have much spare money to waste.

As for spending money on houses, it's even more unrealistic.

But Asuna's room was so exquisite and perfect... it was inhumane!

In SAO, Makino has never seen such a perfect player room.

In addition to the spacious living and dining room, the adjoining kitchen is furnished with brightly colored wooden furniture, as well as the dark green kitchen cabinets with a strong sense of integrity.

And these are all the most advanced custom-made products... It's too capricious!

What's even more rare is that although they are all high-end items, they are not too gorgeous, but give people a quite comfortable feeling.

If you want to strictly define this feeling, it is...the feeling of home!

Makino doesn't think he's a sloppy person, but his residence is still 108,000 miles away from Asuna's "home".

Makino couldn't help feeling emotional!

I even thought of some words I had heard before—some people turned life into poetry, sometimes simple, sometimes exquisite.

Obviously they all have the same starting point, the same environment, but a completely different attitude towards life, but they have also gained a completely different quality of life.

So.

Makino was puzzled!

How did Asuna, who made the life of a prisoner of SAO into a "everyday vacation", return to reality with all her heart and mind, and also became the "ghost of strategy" in the mouths of the players?

Could this be "the strong stay strong and never stagnate"?

Seeing Asuna's house, Makino even reflected on his own temperament for a rare moment.

Is he a little too salty?

Wouldn't he be fragrant to pick Kayaba Akihiko earlier?

Seeing Makino's shocked appearance, Asuna felt a little happy.

It's really not easy to surprise a big-hearted fellow like Makino!

Asuna said, "I'll go change clothes first, you can sit down for a while."

After Asuna finished speaking, she disappeared behind the door deep in the living room.

A beautiful woman said to him, "She went in and changed her clothes." It was hard for him not to think about it!

Sitting on the soft sofa, Makino couldn't help but continue to look at the whole room.

After seeing the flowers in the vase in the room, Makino had a strange feeling again.

In a game of death, a woman who can put a few vases of flowers in her "home" that needs to be changed regularly is absolutely extraordinary!

Makino once again felt what "life needs a sense of ritual".

However, Makino is destined not to live such a life.

This sense of ritual will definitely be tiring beyond imagination.

Soon, Asuna appeared from the room in a simple white bodysuit and a skirt that was below her knees.

Although it is said to be changing clothes, there is actually no action of putting on and taking off, only manipulating the equipped doll in the status window.

But within a few seconds of changing clothes, the appearance will change to the state of wearing only underwear.

If you are a male player, you may not care too much, but female players will never change clothes in front of others.

I have to say that habit is really a terrible power.

Even if the bodies of all players are just 3D files, made up of virtual figures, but after living in this state for a year and a half, players have gradually become accustomed to this body.

Even the concept of honor and disgrace developed in reality has been completely inherited.

Therefore, a game like SAO that can change clothes is definitely not an all-age game.

If it wasn't for the crisis of life and death, Makino even doubted that someone could play it as "Nursing Miracle".

However, this kind of game in which there is no holy light in changing clothes is easy to be watched by parents and 404.

Seeing Asuna taking off the uniform of the Knights of the Blood Alliance and putting on home clothes, Makino couldn't help but look up.

Asuna's figure is undoubtedly extremely proud.

With her fair and slender long legs exposed, Makino, a somewhat lo*ic*n-controlling existence, even changed his stance for a second and became a beautiful leg-controller.

No wonder some people say that lo*ic*n, royal sister, uniform control... in the final analysis, they are all lecherous!

Asuna, who changed into home clothes, seemed to have also changed her dignified and cold personality.

Feeling Makino's scrutinizing and scrutinizing eyes, he was even slightly nervous for a while.

However, Asuna's mentality was not ordinary, and she quickly adjusted.

Asuna turned against the guest and said with dignity, "How long are you going to wear those clothes? Maybe, I thought you were planning to draw your sword against me at any time!"

emmmmmmm.

Asuna's words left Makino speechless for a while.

A strange feeling came to my mind inexplicably.

[Domineering Asia always falls in love with me? ]

Strictly speaking, Asuna and Kirito's CP pair was actually pursued by Asuna.

So, Asuna is not as simple as she seems, a thief of love.

Some fans even jokingly called it "Mr. Asia's thousands of routines"!

However, it seems that he and Asuna don't have much intersection, right?

It should be that he thought too much!

Perhaps this is one of the three major delusions in life. She likes me!

Makino didn't forget that Asuna helped her make gifts, which was actually a transaction.

After getting those miscellaneous life illusions out of his mind, Makino called up the menu screen, and then replaced his "war clothes" with a set of daily clothes.

Seeing Makino change into her daily clothes, Asuna's beautiful eyes lit up.

The daily style of Makino is far closer than when he is in a military uniform.

The game shape in SAO is almost identical to the real world.

So, for Asuna, Makino is also that kind of super rare handsome guy.

Eye-catching and delicious!

Of course.

This is just a momentary thought!

The moment Asuna picked up the kitchen utensils, her face suddenly became extraordinarily confident.

"Okay, today, let's show you my cooking skills today!"

After Asuna finished speaking, she clicked on the menu bar, and then all kinds of ingredients were constantly turned into reality and materialized.

Flour, eggs, cream, sugar, milk, fruit juice, salad oil, baking powder, honey...

With each of Asuna's operations, Makino felt a little "blind".

In SAO, there are only two core elements to be able to cook a certain dish well—whether the cooking skills are up to standard, and whether the required ingredients are complete.

As for the actual cooking process, it's down to just a few taps of the menu button with your finger.

But even so, watching Asuna cook is still a pleasure.

What should I say?

It should still be... a sense of ritual!

It's really pleasing to see that various ingredients are constantly transformed into food under Asuna's little manipulations.

Soon, Asuna made the prototype of the cake and put it on the baking tray.

Asuna quickly clicked the oven twice by double-clicking the mouse, called the pop-up menu, and set the baking time.

The first process of baking the cake is completely complete!

Asuna: "Actually, there are still a lot of procedures, but SAO simplified the cooking process too exaggeratedly, which is really boring."

While complaining, Asuna put the baking tray in the oven and pressed the button to start baking from the menu.

Hearing Asuna's complaint, Makino couldn't help but interject, "This kind of cooking is very boring? I think it should be regarded as the savior of all those who are 'cursed by the kitchen'!"

Although she was a second grader who was cursed by the kitchen, Asuna understood it in seconds, and immediately became happy.

"What, this should only be thought by you guys who don't know how to cook. For us girls, cooking a meal with heart is a manifestation of love and value in itself!"

All right!

Hearing Asuna's words, Makino couldn't help looking up at the sky.

It is no wonder that the words about "marrying a Japanese wife" on the Internet in previous lives have been enduring for a long time.

Without comparison, there is no harm!

In a very short time, about 300 seconds, the cake that Asuna put into the oven was finished.

The whole room was quickly filled with the sweet smell of cake.

Makino couldn't help taking a deep breath. The fragrant fragrance made him extremely satisfied from body to mind.

but.

At this point, the cake is actually far from being completed.

In other words, the next "carving", "assembly" and "decoration" are the keys to the appearance of a cake.

With Asuna's series of skilled operations, Makino couldn't help but stare blankly.

Simply relying on cooking skills is far from reaching this level and effect.

Asuna is right, she should really like cooking very much in her heart.

In just five minutes or so, an extremely beautiful cake was finished.

In Makino's view, this cake has even gone far beyond the food itself, and it even looks like a work of art.

so amazing!

Seeing the stunned Makino, Asuna was instantly happy.

She can make a powerful guy like Makino "stunned", she is also a super accomplished acridine!

When she saw Asuna placing the steaming and fragrant cake in front of her, the greedy worm in Makino's body was immediately hooked up.

At this time, how could he still remember that this cake was a gift?

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Makino couldn't help but ask, "Can you eat a little first?"

Puchi!

Asuna covered her mouth and smiled.

"Look how greedy you are. Eat it first, and I'll make the gifts later!"

"Why is this so funny?"

Muye said that he was embarrassed, but his hands were faster than anyone else.

The cake-cutting knife appeared in his hands for the first time.

Soon, Makino distributed the cake evenly on the small plates, and served Asuna a portion first.

After doing all this, Makino couldn't wait to start, so he couldn't wait to start nibbling away with a fork.

At the moment of entrance, Makino felt an extreme fragrance.

The aroma instantly filled the entire mouth, and then spread from the mouth to all parts of the body.

tasty!

All of this is really delicious. It was the first time that Makino knew that in SAO, there was such an extreme "taste" experience.

"High-end ingredients often only require the most simple cooking methods..."

Asuna was able to turn a simple cake into such an extreme taste, so what level can the meat of the Chowder Rabbit achieve?

After tasting this extreme fragrance, Makino became obsessed with the S-grade ingredient "chowder rabbit meat" for the first time.

Makino and Asuna didn't say a word, they just kept reminiscing about the delicious experience brought by the cake.

After the cake was divided, it was unknown how long it had passed, but the two still did not come out of the enjoyment brought by this kind of food.

Asuna sighed deeply, "Ah... It's great to work hard to live until now..."

This is very extreme. It is like, "Life is for food"!

But at this moment, Makino felt the same way!

While eating the perfect cake, I also enjoyed a cup of black tea that Asuna brewed by herself. I really enjoyed it!

Makino couldn't help but think, in reality, can you eat a more delicious cake than this?

Human taste and memory are actually very strange.

For example, I once ate unforgettable delicacies when I was a child. If I eat it when I grow up, I may never find the taste and emotion of the past.

And this is collectively called "Childhood Memories"!

Under this scene, Makino's lips and teeth were full of water, and he couldn't help but recall the fish soup his grandfather cooked for him in his previous life.

It has to be said that the happiness of human beings sometimes comes easily.

Although it was just a cake, Makino and Asuna were both immersed in the fictional taste created by various virtual parameters for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Asuna, who was sitting across from her with a teacup in both hands, spoke first and broke the silence she had kept for several minutes because she was immersed in the aftertaste of the feast.

"Muye, you don't seem to be in a hurry to go back. In reality, you have lived a miserable life, for example, suffering from a terminal illness, or a disability?"

Poof!

Makino almost spit out the black tea in his mouth.

After a violent cough, Muye couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have such a bizarre idea? Am I the kind of miserable person who has lived in reality?"

Seeing Makino's violent reaction, Asuna immediately smiled very happily.

"Just kidding, just kidding, please don't take it seriously. But, Makino, is the feeling you give me really very different from other players!"

"???"

Makino looked at Asuna curiously, a little confused.

"how to say?"

Asuna raised her small head, thinking about how to organize vocabulary.

After a few seconds, Asuna seemed to have figured it out, and suddenly realized, "It always feels like you are too calm! It seems that since the first time I saw you, you have always remained calm."

"Besides, it seems that you have never been troubled by the question of whether the SAO world is real or fake... It's so strange!"

Asuna's words made Makino startled.

He never imagined that Asuna would be so sharp.

Thinking about it too, for Makino, this is just an exam, a fleeting journey, how can it be like Asuna and the other players, all kinds of thoughts, all kinds of sadness?

Seeing Makino's expression, Asuna said loudly, "That's it, what you said to me was just thinking, but you didn't feel the same way... Makino, you are really weird!"

Asuna's eyes lit up, causing Makino to feel an unprecedented pressure.

Is she so sharp?

If Asuna continued to question her, how would he answer?

Makino knew that he had met a master.

If you lie, you will definitely be found out in an instant.

Does he want to say that he is... God?

To be honest, it was the first time Makino met a girl as sharp as Asuna.

However, at this moment, Makino felt that the burning sensation on his body disappeared.

Asuna suddenly laughed and said in a sweet voice, "I'm sorry, I asked too many questions. It's a big taboo to ask about other people's privacy!"

Asuna's "interrogation" came like a storm and went away like a spring breeze.

While making Makino feel the pressure, he didn't have any resentment, and even had some good feelings for Asuna's "gentle and considerate".

Reality is often so absurd!

Asuna shook the teacup in her hand, the smile on her face slowly faded away, and her expression became somewhat serious.

"Recently, I suddenly felt as if I was born in this world and lived until now... Especially the thoughts of Miko and Yuu make me feel lost and disappointed."

Makino knew that Asuna started thinking wildly again.

This is the inevitable mental disorder of being confined to the virtual cage world of SAO for a long time.

Human beings are actually accustomed to relying on "reference objects" when looking at things.

When the people around begin to think that SAO is the reality, it is often the time when the thinking is subverted.

[The progress of the strategy may be accelerated! ]

Makino took a sip of his tea, and such thoughts could not help but come to his mind.

Even a woman like Asuna has become confused, so other players don't need to go into details.

Seeing this beautifully decorated room, Makino felt that he somewhat understood Asuna's thoughts.

Perhaps it was because she began to get used to the life here that she decorated the house into a real home!

However, just as Makino was thinking about what to say.

Asuna actually frowned, stretched out her jade hand, and shook it in front of Makino.

Makino couldn't help being a little confused, what does Asuna mean?

Then, Makino knew.

Asuna exaggerated a bit, "Ah... don't do this."

Makino had a black question mark on his face, "???"

Asuna: "So far, there have been several male players with this expression that have asked me to marry."

Makino: "..."

During the chase, Makino had seen the innocent Kirito, and had been hinted by Asuna so crazy.

However, when all this happened to him, the feeling was completely different.

This feeling is very strange, a little itchy inside, even a little excited, but not annoying.

Makino said with a wicked smile, "Asuna, are you implying that I can propose to you?"

When Makino said a word, Asuna immediately blushed.

Afterwards, Asuna exaggeratedly said, "Stop. It turns out that all the great hero Makino-san, who admires and admires, just likes to play rascals like this... In the real world, you are sexual harassment!"

Well~www.NovelMTL.com~ Hearing Asuna's eloquent appearance, Makino immediately felt a little admiration.

[On the downside, I, Makino, would like to call you the strongest! ]

Of course, I can't say this clearly. Maybe Asuna will turn into a little wild cat again, and she is ready to stretch out her little claws at any time and scratch him into a little face.

Don't doubt, Asuna definitely has this ability.

Does Asuna have a crush on him?

Makino was also very surprised. He didn't expect this kind of development.

Because, he and Asuna had only met a few times in total, and as for close encounters, the number of times was even less.

It's just that Makino has always had a crush on Asuna because of his previous life.

But, what exactly does Asuna mean?

Makino felt like he was being tricked by Asuna!

However, after a brief thought, Makino's eyes became clear again.

Whether it's Asuna's routine or his illusion of life, now is not the time to struggle with these.

Because, in the SAO world, after all, he was just a passerby.
