"What should I do? Kirino looks a little angry?"

"I'd be angry if you wanted to. But it won't matter if you explain it well."

Shota and Asuna looked at Kirino who was leading the way with fear. Shota knew his sister's temper, so he was afraid. As for why Asuna was afraid, she probably couldn't explain it herself.

"Anyway...it will only last for two days at most."

Shota thought about it and felt that he still needed to do some ideological work for Kirino. After all, he had just promised her a few days ago that even if she wanted to fall in love, she would wait until she returned to the real world. Who knew that she would be caught today. So Shota himself was worried

I wonder if I did something wrong.

Kirino suddenly stopped, and Shota and Asuna's hands, which had their little fingers together, quickly separated. The two of them looked to both sides with different expressions...

"Brother, you are really...forget it, Asuna, ignore him and follow me."

With that said, she walked over and took Asuna's hand, and ran away, leaving Asuna's stunned eyes and Shota alone watching...

"What's going on?"

Fortunately, when Shota returned home, he saw that Asuna got along well with several other girls. As for Kirino, although she had an unattractive face, she actually seemed to admit it.

, or in other words, she has accepted her fate. I believe that after a while, she will slowly get used to Asuna's existence.

However, in the meantime, Shota had to sign so many unequal treaties, which are not enough for outsiders.

"Ah, Asuna is so powerful."

Saori said with admiration: "I didn't expect to kill the Shota clan so quickly."

"Hey, ah..." Asuna was a little unaccustomed to Saori's enthusiasm.

"Tsk, tsk, I always thought that Shouta would choose someone from our guild, but I didn't expect... ha, don't stare at me like this."

When Saori saw everyone casting hostile glances, she quickly admitted her mistake and said, "Today's protagonist is Asuna, please don't stare at me..."

The Knights of the Royal Establishment treat Asuna quite warmly, the black cat has always been the same, Kirino's expression is quite gentle when he looks at Asuna, but when he looks at Shota, he always has ill intentions.

Saori's attitude is very positive. As for Silica, she is no stranger to Asuna. After all, when Shota takes her to level up, Asuna often appears from other places to join the team.

"Hey, now that it's all done...are Asuna interested in joining our guild?"

Saori finally couldn't help but extend an invitation to Asuna.

"This." Asuna glanced at Shota secretly, and after noticing that he nodded, she replied: "Yes."

"but……"

Although she agreed, she was still the deputy leader of the Blood Alliance and the first commander of the frontline strategy team. Sometimes, many things happened out of her control.

"I will accompany you to find Heathcliff tomorrow."

Shota smiled at Asuna.

"Let's go make supper."

Kirino kicked Shota's heel.

"Okay, okay. It's already 1 o'clock, why haven't any of you slept?"

Shota complained and walked to the kitchen.

"Let me help."

Asuna quickly stood up and followed Shota towards the kitchen.

That night, Asuna stayed directly on the fiftieth floor. Of course, a special room was prepared for her.

"When the matter is settled, I will sell the house on the 50th floor and buy another one directly next to your house. The money saved recently is almost the same."

Shota and Asuna walked slowly towards the headquarters of the Blood Alliance, and at the same time said to her: "When the time comes, I will come to open up your house, you won't have any objections, right?"

"Well... why not, how about you just stay at my place?"

Asuna thought for a while and put forward her own idea.

"Tsk, am I turning into a pretty boy?"

A strange smile appeared on Shota's face and he said: "It will make headlines tomorrow. The deputy leader of the blood alliance is supporting that one."

"What headlines..."

Asuna lightly hit Shota twice, then held his hand and whispered: "How about we find a place to rest for a while?"

"Listen to you."

Shota did not refute Asuna's words, but just nodded and said: "Go and convince Heathcliff first, and then make arrangements. After all, you have struggled for so long, so you should rest for a while."

"Then, please convince the leader. Let's talk first. If you can't convince him." Asuna poked Shota's waist with her finger and said, "I will be angry."

"Ha, that's scary."

Shota pretended to be surprised, and then said: "If he refuses to let go, then the only way to intervene is by force."

"Forced intervention?"

"Just challenge him to a duel. If you can't beat me, I'll pick you up and run away directly. How about this method?"

"..."

"Lady Asuna, Mr. Shota."

Just as the two of them were planning their escape plan, a famous member of the Blood Alliance came out and invited the two of them: "The leader is already waiting for you inside."

"Well, thanks."

Nodding, Shota walked towards the blood alliance's conference room.

"Shouta, long time no see."

"It's been several days, right?"

Shota smiled at Heathcliff, then sat across from Heathcliff with Asuna, and said: "I have something to tell you when I come here..."

"Wait a minute, let me finish the story first."

Heathcliff waved his hand, indicating that he would speak first. After seeing Shota nod, he said: "Shouta, and Asuna, first of all, I would like to apologize for the incident with Kradir. I didn't expect that the other party would treat us

The penetration has been so deep. I sincerely apologize for this."

"It's over now. Just forget it."

Shota and Asuna looked at each other, not taking this matter too seriously.

"I want to ask about some details about the Smiling Coffin. When I led the team there yesterday, there were only a group of stragglers, and the Big Three were later confirmed to have been imprisoned. Is there any connection between this and you?

"

"Those three people were sent in by me."

Shota just said one sentence and didn't explain anything else. There was no need to elaborate on other things.

"As expected of Shota." Heathcliff showed a smile on his serious face and said: "However, it is said that your losses were also great, and all of this was caused by our guild's Kratir, so,

You can make a request, and if we can satisfy it, we will try our best to satisfy it."

"Is that okay? Can you mention it casually?"

"Of course, when did I lie to you?"

Heathcliff stretched out his hand, indicating to Shota to pick it up casually.

"Then, I want to take Asuna away."

Shota did not hesitate to tell his purpose this time.

"Sorry, Captain, I want to go with Shota..."

Asuna also directly expressed her truest thoughts.

"This is really..." Heathcliff obviously did not expect that the relationship between the two people would become so close. He was silent for a while, shook his head in embarrassment and said: "Deputy Captain Asuna is our frontline commander.

, once she follows you, our strategy progress will slow down."

"It's my responsibility and I won't run away from it." Asuna said seriously, "I just want to have a holiday now and have more free time."

"Yes. As compensation, I will work for your blood alliance unconditionally in all future BOSS land reclamation activities."

Shota also gave his promise.

"It will still be very difficult." Heathcliff rubbed his temples, and then said: "Shouta, why don't we have a duel?"

"If you win, I can let Asuna leave. As compensation, you must participate in the BOSS battle."

"However, if you lose, I will not force you two to separate. You must join the Blood Alliance Knights together. Of course, I will also give you some holidays."

"Can I say no?"

"No, other than that, there is no way you can take Asuna away."

"No, no." Shota shook his head and said, "I know that in a duel, I will not be your opponent, even with the Void Sword Style. Your turtle shell-like defense is really annoying.

"

"Oh? Is that so?"
