Chapter 371
In the end, Asunaâs blow didnât actually hit Rozenâs face. It stopped barely one centimeter in front of Rozenâs face after Rozen asked whether Asuna was planning to become an Orange Player again.
Asunaâs face was still bright red as she reluctantly pulled back her fist.
After that, Rozen asked Asuna as if nothing ever happened.
âWhy are you running from your escort?â
Upon hearing Rozenâs words, the irritation on Asunaâs face became more apparent.
âThat man⊠Kuradeel, he was waiting in front ofmy house early in the morning.â
Asuna said reluctantly. Rozen was somewhat stunned upon hearing Asunaâs answer.
âWaiting for you? In front of your house?â Rozen confirmed in surprise.
âYes.â Asuna said, still with an irritated look. âAlthough he is my escort, donât you think that goes too far?â
Standing guard in front of a girlâs house without the girlâs consent obviously would make any girl uncomfortable.
However, that wasnât even the worst part.
âWhen I asked him, he confessed that he has been patrolling around my neighborhood for a whole month.â
Asuna quivered as she said that to Rozen. Rozen was dumbfounded when he heard her response.
âIsnât that what a stalker would do?â
Rozen said bluntly.
No wonder Asuna decided to run away from him. After all, Asuna couldnât do a thing if Kuradeel used his position as an escort as a pretense that it was for Asunaâs safety.
âNow thatâs really unfortunate.â Rozen then asked as if the problem was none of his concern: âSo youâve bought your own house?â
Rozen didnât know that Asuna had her own house. He thought that Asuna has been staying in her guild headquarters or an inn. It turned out this rapier user already owned her own Player Cabin.
In response, Asuna glared at Rozen briefly and sighed.
âI bought one a while ago in Selmburg.â
Selmburgh was the 61st Floorâs Main Settlement.
The 61st Floor was a lake-themed Floor, also known as Insect Land, due to its abundance of bug-type monsters and the equivalent of hell for most women in Sword Art Online.
However, that didnât prevent the girls from visiting the 61st Floor, and the reason was its Main Settlement, Selmburg. Selmburg was a castle city located on a mountainous island in the middle of the lake on the 61st Floor. While viewing the castle from the outside, a white granite surface with serene spires at its center couldbe seen. It had green foliage throughout the city and a lake surrounding it, making it extremely beautiful when the sun shone upon it. This beautiful scenery made it so popular among female Players.
Asuna bought a Player Cabin and moved in there.
âThe 61st floorâŠâ Rozen said admiringly: âArenât the houses thereexpensive?â
âWell, kind of.â Asuna said angrily: âI bought it for 4000K Cor; Iâm sure that much is nothing for you, though.â
4 million Cor? Well, compared to Rozenâs total net worth, it wasnât that much indeed. However, Rozen has already spent most of his Cor on items to strengthen himself, such as weapons and items. In addition, he has also invested a lot of money on his Tamed Monsters that he only had around a few hundred thousand Cor on him right now.
Of course, if Rozen sold all his equipment and items, heâd easily obtain a huge sum of Cor in a matter of minutes.
Even the Fragrant Honey Tea that Asuna drank yesterday alone was worth 1 million Cor, meaning he could buy Asunaâs house by selling four cups of those.
That was what Asuna thought when she drank the Fragrant Honey Tea that Rozen served her yesterday.
Now that Asuna has calmed down a little, he stared at Rozen.
âSo, whatâ your deal?â Asuna asked doubtfully: âWhy are you here in the first place?â
It was not surprising that Rozen was there since it was the route to the labyrinth. The question was, why did he have to hide?
âYouâre not hiding here just because you saw me running from Kuradeel, right?â
The look on Asunaâs eyes was so intimidating that a wrong answer might be life-threatening.
So, Rozen immediately answered.
âOf course not.â
Well, technically, Rozen wasnât lying.
âThen why are you hiding here in the first place?â
Asuna went straight to the point.
Apparently, Asuna became so prickly because of Kuradeelâs creepiness.
âAlright, hereâs what happenedâŠâŠâ
Rozen hesitated at first, but then he told Asuna everything about the Aincrad Liberation Force.
After hearing Rozenâs story, Asuna no longer cared about her anger just now and suddenly turned all serious.
âTo think those guys would come to the frontline at a time like this. Asuna murmured: âI did hear the news that Kibaou-san made a few arrangements so the Army can participate in the frontline.â
Asuna has met Kibaou more than once ever since the First Floor Boss Raid. Because of that, she more or less knew what kind of person Kibaou was.
âKibaou-san himself is not a bad person. Itâs just that he tends to take extreme measures.â Asuna was somewhat worried: âI hope he didnât repeat the same mistake.â
Asuna still vividly remembered what happened on the 25th Floor, which was the reason for her concern.
Rozen then saidâŠ
âIâve seen how they fought, and frankly, Iâve got nothing but bad feelings about this.â Rozen immediately added: âI canât rule out the possibility that they will challenge the Floor Boss if they find the Boss Room.â
Asuna became even more concerned upon hearing this.
âI understand.â Asuna looked at Rozen and said, âI will go with you.â
âGo with me?â Rozen was a little surprised at first, but then said: âYou mean following them?â
Asuna nodded without hesitation.
ââŠWell, alright.â Rozen sighed and said: âYou have Hiding Skill, right?â
âOf course.â Asuna immediately showed her Hiding Skill that has reached level 500.
âThatshould do.â Rozen nodded: âAlright then, letâs catch up with them.â
âYeah.â Asuna responded immediately.
The two of them came out of the bush and rushed toward the labyrinth.
