[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

Maybe,

That encounter itself was a joke-like mistake.

But because of the person I met, I was deeply trapped in that mistake, and I couldn't extricate myself in the end.

——Outside Asuna's window was the howling wind and rain, which disrupted everything outside and disturbed Asuna's heart again.

The weather in SAO is comprehensively regulated by intelligent computers, and it has always changed smoothly. It is rare to have extremely sunny weather, and it is rare to have such bad weather.

With such heavy rain, would senior go to a nearby bar and order a glass of her favorite SAO specialty Bomir liqueur, and enjoy it slowly under the background of flickering lights and noisy sounds?

The hand that was gently stirring the milk tea in the cup stopped, and the rippled water surface reflected his dazed face.

Senior is a very ordinary person at first glance. Asuna has been imagining that senior probably has curved eyebrows, a small slightly hooked nose tip, slightly upturned mouth corners, and maybe some light freckles at the corners of his eyes. , the whole person will be very gentle.

Maybe it's because of this overly bland appearance that it's a little underwhelming?In order to create a majestic image of the vice president, he put on a cloak and a hooded scarf?

But Ace said that the senior was like this long before we met. No one knows what the senior looks like, not even the president.

Anyway, it is also one of the four mysteries of the Blood Alliance, how could it be solved so easily.

There was a smile on the corner of Asuna's mouth, and she continued to stir the milk tea in her hand, watching the heat rising from the cat's porcelain cup, her heart would also warm up.

The wind and rain outside the window are still dripping and cold.

It's like a senior who tightly covers himself.

Cool, majestic, inviolable.

So ordinary people are so conspicuous, and I, who has always been proud and a little irritated because of being deeply involved in the game, saw her at a glance among those heaven's favored children.

A figure as cold as Shenglian came slowly, and he hadn't understood her, even heard her voice and seen her face, so for some reason, he decided that it must be a peerless and powerful woman.

I am used to seeing the sad end of the girls who are either abandoned or bullied in this game of ten thousand people, and I have long forgotten the despair of the girl companions who walked out of the town of beginning together when they were dying. Seeing such a powerful woman, Asuna felt that her suppressed heart became excited.

Then--

[My name is Qingchao, and I am the vice-captain of this perverted team.

】Eh? !

Eh? ! !

Ehhhhh? ! ! !

For the first time, Asuna felt at a loss. The wailing from others in her ears gradually faded away, as if a corner of a reservoir that had been hoarded suddenly collapsed in her heart, and the water rushed down instantly.

So what, is this over?

[Mom: Asuna girl, are you still hoping that the early morning girl who is a savage female tyrannosaurus can show you the aura of a strong man? !Stop joking, pinch hahahaha~~~ Early morning: PIA flies! ! ! 】Asuna is deeply troubled.

And then what's the situation?

Asuna herself couldn't remember what was going on, so she was abducted into this cheating team, why did she agree to their invitation inexplicably?

As if it was a special drama, it abruptly switched to the next one.

It was still raining like crazy outside the window, and the dark clouds made the sky no longer clear and warm as before. Asuna stared at the wind and rain outside the window blankly. Even though the room was warm, it was still hard to avoid the emptiness in her heart.

It seems that something extremely important has been lost, so there is a hole in my heart that will always ache.

There are thick piles of documents on the table, and a bright chandelier quietly stops on the roof. Beside the table is a small lotus-like table lamp, which also exudes soft light. The two lights echo each other. It's that person's habit.

The smooth move made Asuna, who had regained her senses, shake again.

Thoughts have long flowed out from the closed door of my heart at no time.

I miss her cold breath surrounding me; I miss her teaching me with a gentle tone; I miss the scene where she rushed in front of me and put myself under the protection of the feathers...

He is obviously such a gentle person, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is like a witch with thousands of faces. Maybe the senior who appears in front of me is just one of the thousands of expressions, but in his heart, it is the unique one. The only kind of tenderness.

During the day, Heathcliff's words came to mind clearly.

[Qingchen knows better than anyone what kind of people and things are needed under what conditions. She can quickly bring herself into a new environment and quickly lead the overall situation. She is a natural commander. .

】【That's why you are now.

】What about me now?What does the president mean?

Obviously when I was beside my senior, my sixth sense had already reminded me of the danger of this man, but I still couldn't help thinking about his words.

A natural commander... That's why seniors can always point out the way out for everyone like a god in adversity, calculate each other's gains and losses with the most precision, and push the red flag of the Knights of the Blood Alliance step by step to the place of admiration for everyone what?

The power of foresight, and the control of dominance...

There was a flash of inspiration in Asuna's eyes.

Because everything has been calculated and foreseen, can the trapped pawns be rescued at the time that has been calculated? !this……

What a powerful resourcefulness this is!

Fierce gazes burst out from Asuna's eyes again, but after a brief circling, they fell into a deeper silence.

foresee... control...

Senior, did you foresee something before you stretched out your gentle hand to me?

The long dream was shattered, and Asuna actually felt a heart-piercing feeling.

A desire to cry bitterly rose slowly, but the corners of his eyes were dry and without any tears.

Although he already had a premonition in his heart, it was still hard to believe that he was just a tool that the seniors could cultivate for the guild's continued development.

The alarm bell of reason is ringing, beating on my fragile thinking.

Maybe I should leave decisively to prove that I will not succumb to the fate of being dominated by others, but my courage always disappears suddenly when I step out of the blood alliance camp. Asuna had to walk back to the cage-like hotel step by step with a smile she was used to.

A bird accustomed to ease cannot fly again...Senior, is this also what you expected?

Bitterness spread slowly in the corner of the mouth.

Ace has been avoiding himself, that is a boy with all his thoughts written on his face, so Asuna understands his dissatisfaction with himself and...

resentment.

I am the person my senior favors, the person I trust uniquely, I have been entrusted with everything, but I still hold the power I got from my senior after my senior returns; I have the power to save my senior, but I am deeply trapped When the public opinion is turmoil, watch quietly.

Shameful betrayal, like a westerly wind that breaks the backbone of those who wander alone...

But at that time, when I saw the handsome and cool figure of the senior approaching, I was so happy, but I was so scared when I was happy.

The rapid growth of the guild stems from its tolerance for other guilds and players. At this time, there are not many people in the guild who know the senior, and naturally they don't know how gentle and excellent she is.

However, when senior comes back this time, will he let the halo he has finally established in the eyes of everyone become a foil for senior, and he will be even more afraid that such an outstanding senior will be wrapped in the eyes of others and extend his gentle hands to others again.

Such panic, such as ants attached to the bones, that when seeing the senior in a difficult situation, he actually felt a subtle pleasure.

Asuna lowered her head quietly, gently stroking the horizontal stripes on the table with her fingertips, like a Qing person in first love, speechless for a while.

What kind of thought is hovering in the bottom of my heart, making myself no longer like myself, willfully, except for hurt, but endless loneliness.

I don't understand, I still don't understand, even if I fell into this abyss-like place, I still can't understand the throbbing.

There were several knocks on the door, and Asuna Muran turned her head.

"Please come in."

It was Ace who had been avoiding her that came in.

"I remember you were looking for a wind element dragon spar. I happen to have one here. It's of good quality and I can give it to you." The boy took out a box and threw it to the dazed girl. He opened it and looked. It turned out to be a shiny white crystal.

"Ace..." Asuna raised her head, the corners of her eyes were stained with a few crystal colors.

"You don't need to thank me. It's useless for me to keep this thing. It's better for my own people to use it." The boy said flatly, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Ace!" Asuna called him quickly, seeing the figure of the other party stopped, but was at a loss for words, "I..."

"I know." Ace didn't look back.

"Eh?"

"You admire Big Sister more than anyone else, so it's okay. Since Big Sister didn't plan to say anything, I won't complain."

Looking at the boy's growing body, Asuna felt that some things remained unchanged, while some things left forever.

"You should rest earlier."

There was a crisp sound of closing the door, and the enclosed space was isolated again. The room was quiet again, and Asuna's gaze became dense again.

After the senior left, something just disappeared. The figure of that young man seemed to be separated from his own life, and the days full of hearty laughter and jokes would no longer exist.

Senior, if you really foresee and control everything, then these are all the prices you set for me...

Really...

After muttering a few words shallowly, Asuna, who was lying on the table, fell into a deep sleep, only the trembling eyelashes showed the fluctuations in her heart.

night, quiet...
