i became a shadow

Chapter 11
The vast and stretching river of stars runs through the sky, and all the stars are shining with crystal light, like a transparent and blue gauze, covering the entire sky.

Under its shroud, the brightly lit town is extremely quiet, and it looks so dazzling in the dark night.

"Do you think this is the first night in SAO?"

At this time, a voice came from one of the rooms.

Duo sat on the chair, looked at the night scene outside, and said.

Those rosy eyes were full of ripples.

"If it's not included in the internal test, it should be."

Looking at the star-studded and moonlit scenery outside the window, Kirito frowned and replied.

"It's so beautiful..."

Duo gently sipped the cup of black tea in his hand, and couldn't help sighing.

He had only seen such a beautiful and unreal scene in those fake photos in his previous life, as for the real world, it would never exist.

Maybe there is in the Starry Sky Continent, but I have been trapped in the shadow of the princess all the time, and it is difficult to get out, let alone watching the night view.

Hearing Duo's praise, Kirito remained silent.

If there was no Kayaba Akihiko's "death game", he might appreciate it like Duo, and he would praise it without reservation.

But now, only endless despair and hatred for the person who created the world of SAO remain in his heart.

After Duo saw this, he didn't say anything, and continued to drink the black tea in his hand.

Hot air permeated the calm air, and steaming mist spread out in all directions.

Kirito was a little dazed, staring at the steaming cup in the opponent's hand, and said.

"Aren't you worried?"

Looking at Duo's relaxed and indifferent expression, he was suddenly filled with doubts and puzzles.

You must know that in this game, in addition to being worried all day long, there are more concerns from relatives and friends in the real world.

"Actually, what I'm more worried about now is my sister. She hated me playing games at first, but now she's trapped here. I don't know what will happen to her?"

Kirito smiled wryly, shook his head, and spoke.

"Is there someone you miss?"

Duo muttered to himself, and the image of the elf princess bathing could not help appearing in his mind...

"Ahem! No..."

While speaking, the black tea in his mouth also spewed out in an instant, directly choking Duo to cough again and again.

"Well, are you okay?"

Kirito was a little confused, he didn't seem to say anything?How 'she' would have such a big reaction.

"fine……"

Duo shook his arm, took out the tissue next to him, and wiped his lips.

On the surface, he said nothing happened, but in his heart, he began to complain.

Why do I think of the scene just now? It can’t really be that I think about it every day and dream about it at night...

Wait a minute, it seems like I just exposed something?
Seeing Duo's flustered and cute look, Kirito couldn't help laughing, and at the same time asked curiously.

"I thought that a beautiful and lovely girl like you would be missed by many people..."

Before the words fell, the surrounding air stagnated for an instant, and for some reason a slightly depressing atmosphere suddenly appeared.

"Why does it feel a little chilly..."

Kirito shrank his neck, looked at the source of the cold air, and swallowed his saliva uncomfortably.

"Did you always think that I was a cute little girl?"

Duo's voice came faintly, looking at Kirito, it was like looking at a dead person.

? !
Murderous!
What did I say wrong?Cold sweat broke out on Kirito's forehead, and he shouted crazily in his heart.

The more this is the case, the more calm you need to be.

"No, actually, I think you are a charming woman, just like a princess..."

Kirito's eyes suddenly drifted to Duo's chest, he was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization.

"..."

All this of the other party did not escape Duo's eyes, he looked at Kirito without any emotion, until at a certain moment he suddenly laughed out loud.

"Tongzi..."

"Uh, what's up?"

Hearing the name Duo said, Kirito looked blank, Tongzi?Who is that?Why is it so similar to my own game name.

"Haha, it's nothing but a cartoon character."

The corners of Duo's mouth lifted slightly, and his smile was full of kindness.

But in Kirito's eyes, there is an inexplicable evil.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Duo, male."

The soft and delicate voice slowly broke into the other party's ears, but it was extremely shocking to him.

Kirito's eyes widened suddenly, showing an unbelievable look.

"Male...male?"

Looking at the pitiful, pure, lovely and charming girl in front of him, he opened his mouth uncertainly.

"Oh, so that's the case. It's my fault that I didn't recognize it. I'm really sorry."

Kirito grabbed his hair in embarrassment, with an apologetic expression on his face, but he couldn't stop complaining in his heart.

Men can be so cute, are you kidding me?
"Forget it, anyway, after having this appearance, there will be these things sooner or later, and you may get used to it slowly."

Duo gently stroked his soft hair, his eyes were full of helplessness, I didn't want to do this either, but this is probably fate.

"Ahaha, you are quite open."

After Kirito laughed out loud, the room regained its calm.

Both Duo and Kirito looked up at the starry sky, and the strong lights shone on the latter's face, making him sigh involuntarily.

"Think about it, what should we do next?"

Hearing Duo's voice, Kirito shook his head and said.

"Maybe it's a wandering around..."

"is it?"

Duo closed his eyes, and when he opened them the next moment, a bright light bloomed in them.

"I plan to create a guild, but now I lack a vice president?"

"yes……"

Kirito remained silent for a while, there was no need to speak what the other party meant, he had always been a lone walker, he had never thought of joining any guild, but...

Out of the corner of Kirito's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Duo's iron sword shining with cold light.

Just treat it as a favor, thinking so, he spoke up.

"If you don't mind, I'd be more than happy to try it."

Duo smiled lightly and said to him.

"Why do you mind? It's too late for me to be happy."

"What's the name of the guild?"

"Let's call it [Shadow League]."

Kirito nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"Then if that's the case, let's go to rest early, and I have to brush the level tomorrow."

Opening the sao system interface, Duo looked at the time display above and said.

"Well, today is really embarrassing. It's time to relax and have a rest. See you tomorrow."

With that said, Kirito walked to the door and waved his hand.

In the end, only Duo was left sitting at the table drinking black tea in this room.

Seeing the stars gradually dimming one after another, he shook his head.

I don't know how many people will quit this stage after tonight?
