[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

In SAO’s concept of time, there is no distinction between rest days and working days. Completing the strategy as soon as possible is a kind of motivation, motivating the people in the strategy team to continue the strategy day and night until the strategy has become a habit.

There is no leisure and entertainment in the life of two points and one line.

But today's atmosphere seems particularly strange. Asuna, who had just assaulted the maze for 5 days, went to the strategy committee with her tired body to find out the latest situation, but she couldn't help but frowned after seeing the bustling crowd around her. brow.

"What happened?" Asuna strenuously walked inside, and slowly moved to the side of the player in the red and white logo costume.

"Master Asuna, you're here." A member of the blood alliance's guards in red and white attire saw Asuna and hurriedly pushed away other people around him and saluted respectfully.

"Klatil." Asuna waved him to straighten up, heaved a long sigh of relief, and then looked around, "What's going on, why are they making noise in the hall instead of going to attack one by one? stand up."

"This..." Klatil clung to Asuna's side, breathing hot breath on her back, causing her to wrinkle her face, "It is said that the members of the Holy Dragon Alliance are coming."

"Sacred Dragon Alliance?! Didn't they quit the clearing team?" Asuna looked up at him in surprise, not caring about the opponent's approach.

"Yes, Asuna has been in the labyrinth. I may not understand it, but the Holy Dragon Alliance seems to have reorganized a few days ago, and this time it is going to return to the clearing group." Klatir grinned with an unclear smile and spread his eyes. Opening his hands, "The advance envoy of the Holy Dragon Alliance just arrived and submitted the application materials to the committee. It is estimated that their main force is coming soon."

"Really..." Asuna's expression gradually became serious, and then she began to consider the pros and cons of this situation for the entire strategy, "Reorganization? No matter how you say it, you can't preserve all your strength, right? Such a combination of holy dragons..."

"Well, there is no need for Master Asuna to worry. It is nothing more than a wishful thinking. It is said that during the reorganization, the Holy Dragon United laid off a large number of senior members. Those are the elites of the Holy Dragon Alliance. After such an integration, the Holy Dragon There is only an empty shelf left in the alliance, not to mention competing with the blood alliance, whether it can be captured or not is a problem." Klatir straightened up and said loudly without politeness, which also attracted approval or doubt from around gaze.

"No." A boy's voice came from behind, and Asuna was shocked by the familiar voice.

"Huh? What did you say, brat?" Cladeel turned angrily when he heard the questioning voice, and saw a black young swordsman leaning against the pillar.

"Kirito-kun..." Asuna looked at him with some surprise, "Why are you here..."

"The person who integrated the Sacred Dragon Alliance this time was early in the morning." The young man was still looking straight at the direction of the gate, but the information revealed in his words once again aroused a murmur of discussion.

"Eh?!!!! Is it 'King of Guns'? That's not the predecessor of the Blood Alliance..."

"Yes, there were rumors some time ago that the Holy Dragon Alliance seemed to be handed over to the 'Gun King'~"

"Oh~~~ Didn't you say that you were kicked out by the elders again?"

"Who knows...the Holy Dragon Alliance has been full of internal turmoil in the past few months."

Hearing the changing topics around him and the doubts about his point of view, Cladeir's expression instantly turned ferocious, and he turned his head abruptly.

"Hey! Brat! This is the place where the strategy team discusses, and it's not for brats like you to talk generously!"

At this time, Kirito also frowned, looking at Klatir with a fierce expression in front of him, he seemed to realize something, and the people around him gave up their positions slightly to watch the movement here.

"Early morning...it's really...Senior...Kradier!" Asuna, who was a little startled by Kirito's words, had a joy that hadn't dissipated just now, and the sudden complex expression made her feel nervous. The whole face became weird.

Kirito, who noticed from the side, frowned slightly.

"Master Asuna?! What's the matter with you?!" Asuna's abnormal behavior instantly diverted Klatir's attention, and he immediately gave Kirito a vicious warning look before turning to Asuna, "Could it be Is it because you have been raiding for the past five days? Asuna-sama, you are too reckless!"

"It's okay..." Asuna smiled palely, attracting admiration from everyone.

"After a high-intensity strategy, you must take a good rest." Kirito also took two steps forward, "Let's go to rest quickly..."

"Then...Kirito-kun, you..." Asuna looked at Kirito wearily, with a gleam of hope in her eyes.

Kirito slightly turned his eyes away.

"I... rest for a while, and I have to go to the strategy in the afternoon..."

"Oh..." Asuna lowered her eyelids and bit her lower lip, "Then I too..."

"Master Asuna!" Cladeel suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Asuna's arm, and said reproachfully, "Master Asuna, your health is not just your own business! You should go quickly have a rest!"

Asuna looked again at Kirito who had been paying attention to the door, then at Klatir with a determined face, and then slowly sighed, "Then I'll leave first...Kirito-kun..."

"Ah... have a good rest..."

Seeing Asuna leaving with a little loss, Kirito felt a little bit of regret and relief.

"Look! It's a member of the Holy Dragon Alliance!" Suddenly someone exclaimed by the door, and everyone looked out.

A white and blue figure caught everyone's eyes and faces, different from the arrogance of the Holy Dragon United team in the past, although many people came this time, it seemed more quiet and solemn.

"That's... 'Sharp Knife' Allen, even Watson, the 'brain tank' who was kicked out of the guild, appeared! Sure enough, the Samuel faction has the upper hand in the internal disputes of the Holy Dragon Alliance?"

"Really...it used to be Udom's people, but this time there is none of them."

"Hey~~~ There are still some unfamiliar faces, are the members after reorganization~ unexpectedly become powerful figures all of a sudden, what a blessing~"

"However, who is the one at the front?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Which... the one from the team leader? It seems like I've never seen it before..."

In the crowded crowd, Kirito managed to stand a little closer to the front, following everyone's discussion.

For a moment, Kirito's eyes were tightly focused, and his heart seemed to be on fire.

I saw that walking in the front was a girl with long, smooth golden hair.The black prom mask on his face, the cloak on his shoulders, and the high combat boots on his feet all clearly shone with the halo of rare props, but he was only wearing a black knee-length dress on his body. With the unique beauty of a girl.

"She... is she here to attend the dance..." There was a sneer from the surroundings, and then there were overlapping laughter.

"Wait...that's...some time ago...the demon god-level item that was auctioned at the auction house—[Jain's Prom Dress]!"

"Eh?!!!! Didn't it mean that the starting price was set too high and the auction failed?!"

"That kind of thin clothes...is it really a demon god..."

"How rich this guy must be..."

While everyone was talking about it, members of the Holy Dragon Alliance had already lined up in the audience, and then walked alone in front of several strategy committees represented by Heathcliff early in the morning.

After saluting each other, stand still.

"The new president of Shenglong United, on behalf of all the members of the S-level guild Shenglong United, hereby submit an application for joining the Raiders Committee, please consider it."

The application materials that have been handed over to the members by the advance envoy are neatly listed on the desktop.

The member on the far left stood up and raised the application materials in his hand one by one.

"S-level guild task completion report, pass!"

"Application for joining the strategy group, approved!"

"Comprehensive evaluation of S-level combat power after the joint reorganization of the Holy Dragon, passed!"

"All the above qualifications have been achieved, and the Holy Dragon United Guild has been accepted by all members as the S-level Raiders Guild. The above documents will be publicized on the bulletin boards and newspapers on each floor for ten days!"

Early in the morning, he received the certificate of the strategy group issued by Heathcliff - the badge of cross and swords. In this way, it represented a new powerful force injected into the strategy group, and there was warm applause from the audience.

"Congratulations, early morning." Heathcliff smiled and whispered.

"Thank you, Captain Heathcliff." A strange look flashed across his face early in the morning, he moved his lower lip slightly, and turned to face the crowd.

"Thank you for your support. Starting today, Shenglong United will return to the clearing team and will definitely do its best to clear the remaining floors as soon as possible!"

Kirito scratched his head in bewilderment looking at the enthusiastic crowd around him.

"It seems that I don't have such a big battle when I join the strategy team..."

"Hahahahaha..." A burst of Xiaosheng suddenly appeared behind Kirito's ear, startling him.

"What, Agil! Don't suddenly appear behind me!"

"Well, this little thing doesn't matter anymore. I planned to greet you later, but I couldn't help it when I heard you comparing yourself with the Raiders Guild~"

"What and what..." Kirito scratched his head helplessly, "I just don't know much about these..."

"Yes, yes, the player Kirito-san who doesn't know anything~"

"Agil!"

"Well, don't worry about the details, I'll give you a free introduction~ You should know that it is not so troublesome for ordinary individuals and small groups to join the strategy group, they only need to check their personal strength, but a whole guild can join. It's different."

"Eh?"

"The guild evaluates the overall strength. Many of them may not have the strength to be able to safely attack on the front line, but together they can become a powerful attacking force. The difference between the attacking guild lies in this."

"I see." Kirito nodded.

"By the way, your little girlfriend is really amazing..." Agil touched his short mustache with emotion.

"..."

"I heard that the Sacred Dragon Alliance was a guild that developed abnormally at the beginning, and it turned into a mess in the later stage. I didn't expect that it was integrated into a guild that was qualified to rejoin the Raiders group in just one month. It was really a good thing early in the morning. Courage~~" Suddenly feeling something was wrong, Agil lowered his head and patted the silent Kirito, a little strangely, "Kirito, why are you so depressed? You can't feel depressed because you feel the gap between each other, right? Hahaha, boy, you have to work hard~~~"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm going to attack!" Kirito shook off Agil's tricky hand and walked towards the side door.

"Hahahahaha~~~ Remember to find something good~"

"I see!"

Kirito stepped out of the office hall gracefully, until the sun suddenly poured on his face.

Can't help squinting, looking at the blue sky, misty clouds rolling, like the black skirt floating with the pace of the early morning...

Thinking of those people who stood firmly behind Qingchen, those who cast longing gazes at Qingchen, those who truly fulfilled their duties of guarding and defending... Kirito withdrew the longing in his eyes somewhat sadly, and continued to hurry Hurriedly rushing toward the maze.

That ray of light is no longer his own.

This kind of cognition is a bit cold, but it can help maintain the rationality in his restless heart.

The sword light flashed, and another monster's corpse shattered in front of him, and the small number in the upper left corner jumped clearly.

Constantly getting stronger, showing up without hesitation when she needs it.

This is the only thing I can do when I finally understand my own mind.
