"Hey, have you upgraded again? Help me make soup some other time, Shota."

"No problem, just follow the same rules."

After Shota finished the transaction with a player, he walked back towards the hotel. Due to the two duels in the evening, many players looked at him curiously along the way - but he thought, the one who won

His guy named Kirito should be more famous now.

In the end, Shota chose to buy ingredients instead of replenishing weapons. After all, he positioned himself as a powerful field control rather than a violent DPS. In terms of damage output, even Black Cat and Saori were better than him.

A step above. So he decided to accompany his sister to fight monsters during the strategy tomorrow. So he didn't need any particularly powerful weapons.

When he walked to the street near the hotel, Shota noticed that those who held the afternoon meeting seemed to be gathering in the hotel next to the hotel for a banquet. The atmosphere was very lively. Through the open bed, Shota noticed that during the day

The Kibaou who caused the trouble seems to have gotten into a fight with the others again, but these are not important things to him.

"Um?"

Shota's nose twitched twice. With the support of virtual reality, his sense of smell was basically restored to the level of the real world. Under the smell of inferior wine and other food, he seemed to smell a very light fragrance.

Following the guidance of his nose, Shota went around to the back of the hotel. Although it was not obvious, he could still tell that the smell that seduced him just now must be cheese. To be honest, Shota didn't like this thing very much, but he couldn't bear it.

His sister who lives at home likes to eat this kind of dairy products, so he followed the taste.

"Disappeared?"

Shota frowned. The source of the smell seemed to be missing. He looked around and said to the two players sitting on the side with their backs to him: "Well, please... Hey, it's you."

The two players sitting on both sides of the stool turned their heads at the same time. Shota showed a somewhat embarrassed look. Aren't they the two people he had fought with not long ago? The cloaked woman and the black-haired swordsman Kirito.

"It's Mr. Shota."

Kirito greeted him generously. Although they had fought against each other, he did not have any prejudice against Shota. On the contrary, although he won that duel, he always felt that he might lose if it happened again.

However, the moment the other cloaked woman saw Shota, she snorted coldly and stood up to leave. Although Shota apologized to her very sincerely after the duel, she seemed a little cold.

He left without saying anything.

"That, cloak... no, no, this friend!"

Although Shota was not interested in this kind of arrogant girl at all...except his own sister, he still called her out because...

Shota just glanced at the face under the cloak and there seemed to be some obvious marks on the corners of the mouth.

"On the corner of your mouth..."

"Eh?" The cloaked woman hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with her hands, and then her body started to tremble again, looking like she was getting angry again...

"No, no, I want to say, is that cheese?"

"Yes...so what."

"Great, can you tell me where I can get this thing? Is it a mystery store? Or is it obtained from completing a mission."

Shota showed an "I'm curious" expression.

Seeing Shota like this, the cloaked woman seemed to be in a more stable mood, and then glanced in Kirito's direction.

"In the last town, there is a Crazy Bull mission, and this is the reward."

Kirito smiled, took out a small jar of items from his backpack, and threw it in Shota's direction. He didn't mind being on good terms with the other person. Anyway, the two of them didn't have any hatred. On the contrary, they had a certain fondness for him...

…

The sympathy of the strong?

"Snapped."

After reaching out to take the item, Shota stretched out his finger and tapped it on the can, and his finger was instantly covered with cheese.

“The quality is very poor.”

After taking a taste, Shota murmured in a low voice, then accepted the things, and then invited the two people: "Well, have you eaten?"

Since you have received a benefit, you must repay it a little bit.

Kirito replied honestly: "I just ate bread with cheese on it."

"How can this be done?" Shota shook his head and said, "We have to fight the boss tomorrow, so how can we just eat bread today?"

"I don't like crowded places."

The cloaked woman responded coldly: "Besides, I'm not here to eat."

Shota knew that she thought she had invited him to the hotel to eat with those big men, so he explained: "No, no, it's just today, oh, my skills were just upgraded yesterday. If you are interested, come and see me."

How about sharing your hands, there are only three of my friends. Soup, beef soup, do you want to try it?"

"Gudu."

Shota clearly heard two swallowing sounds. Since they had eaten black bread, they couldn't be really hungry, and having such a reaction meant that the two of them were really greedy.

"I don't dare to say anything about my craftsmanship. At least among the players, it is no problem to be ranked No. 1. It is definitely many times better than the NPC shop next to it."

This was a sweet talk. Agil had previously invited her to be the chef for tonight's banquet and promised a lot of compensation. Unfortunately, Kirino refused without even thinking about it. In reality, her brother only cooked for her occasionally.

Cooking, in the game, how can it be possible for others to share the food.

Girls are always a bit petty.

"It's not good. Will it disturb you?"

Kirito said with some embarrassment. After all, the other party was a group of three women and one man. It would definitely be awkward for him to join in unexpectedly. If he wanted to go, he would at least have to drag his teammate there.

"It's okay, it's okay. My sister is very hospitable."

Shota opened his eyes and told lies. Then, the two people were finally persuaded by Shota's wonderful words.

"I'm back!"

"Uh-huh."

"so slow!"

Along with Kirino's voice came a small flying knife that shot through the air. Of course, this weapon is not offensive at all in a safe area and is useless except for scaring people. However, Shota still tilted his head.

Evaded this super easy to dodge attack.

"I met two friends on the road and got some things that you will definitely like. Well, I also brought back two guests."

With that said, Shota turned sideways, and the cloaked woman and Kirito who were following him were exposed to the three people in the room.

"Oh! We have guests!"

When Sa Zhi, who likes liveliness, saw someone, she quickly stood up and greeted them, saying, "Welcome to the shabby house, although we only rented it for half a day, hahahaha."

Kirito smiled awkwardly. The short knife stuck on the door frame didn't look like a warm welcome.

As for the cloaked woman, she wears a cloak every day, so of course no one knows what she is thinking.

After Kirino glanced at the visitor, he withdrew his gaze and said to Shota: "Go and cook."

"Yes Yes."

In Shota's opinion, Kirino's slightly commanding tone was just coquettishness. He motioned to Saori to help him take care of the guests, and then walked towards the kitchen in this small room.

The black cat raised his head and glanced at Kirito before continuing to drink the strange drink that was turbid and glowing green in the cup.

However, Kirito, who sat down under Saori's reception, suddenly seemed a little restrained. Since Kirino and the others did not bring cloaks, the room presented a scene of yin and yang, full of spring. No matter how good the concentration was, being beaten by a few

Kirito always felt a little uncomfortable when surrounded by girls, or rather cute girls.

But it was not bad. Saori was very good at livening up the atmosphere and slowly brought up the topic. In fact, they were all 14 years old and they all liked playing games, so they quickly became familiar with each other.

And as we talk, we will inevitably discuss the game that everyone is currently in.

Kirito also shared a lot of information and experiences that no one knew.

"Mr. Kirito, are you a beta tester?"

After listening for a while, Black Cat suddenly asked.

Kirito was stunned for a moment and did not continue to hide his identity. He nodded and admitted.

"Closed beta test?" After hearing this word, Kirino seemed to be energized. In her heart, there were two very different standards for treating game seniors and boys of the same age. She asked very curiously: "Then you closed beta test?"

Which level did you hit during the test?"

"A month...about ten levels."

Kirito gave a rather vague answer.

"so smart?"

After all, the game has been going on for a month now, and everyone is still on the first level. Even the proud Black Cat can't help but have some respect for such a person with prior experience. Even Kirito's teammates,

They all seemed a bit unexpected.

"That's it."

Of course Shota, who was cooking, had been paying attention to the conversation here, and interrupted: "So Kirito, have you always teamed up with this, um, this lady?"

"No, I am a SOLO player."

"Me too."
