I originally planned to take it slow, but since that's the case, I'll just have to be direct.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Si said the words "I like you" for the second time. The reason why he said it the second time was because he felt that his state was somewhat strange when he said it before, and it didn't feel like he was saying it with his own mouth. But it felt right when he said it the second time.

On the other side, Asuna listened to Zhao Si's words. It was undeniable that her heart skipped a beat the first moment she heard it. Then, her next thought was not joy, but suspicion that something had happened to Zhao Si again.

After coming back to her senses, Asuna looked into Zhao Si's eyes, and Zhao Si looked back at her without any hesitation.

Asuna wanted to find the red light she had seen before in Zhao Si's eyes, to prove that the reason Zhao Si confessed to her again was due to some unknown influence.

However, what made her feel "disappointed" was that Zhao Si's eyes were as dark and deep as ever, and compared to the naked look he had the first time, the emotions reflected in Zhao Si's eyes at this time were very serious.

""

Suddenly realizing a possibility, Asuna's expression suddenly became panicked, and her heart beat faster and faster as time went by.

Ah...Huh?!

What's going on? Mr. Zhao Si seems to be fine. Is it different from before?

If that's the case, doesn't this mean that Mr. Zhao Si just really...confessed his feelings to me!?

Realizing this, Asuna just stared at Zhao Si in a daze. Her entire consciousness seemed to be pushed into a sea of ​​dreams, making her feel that everything was so beautiful.

Asuna didn't know when she started to like Zhao Si. Ever since Liz enlightened her and made her realize her love for Zhao Si, this love had become very heavy.

Since then, Asuna has been planning to find an opportunity to convey this feeling to Zhao Si. She originally thought that with her personality, this should be a very simple matter.

However, despite repeated opportunities, she was never able to convey her feelings to Zhao Si, which made her somewhat frustrated. But at the same time, these repeated failures also made her, who was experiencing the emotion of "liking" for the first time, become more aware of this emotion.

Originally, taking advantage of Yui's coquettish begging Zhao Si to stay overnight, she planned to make up her mind tonight that she must, must, must convey her feelings for Zhao Si to him.

Unexpectedly, before she could confess to Zhao Si, Zhao Si confessed to her first.

And it happened twice. The first time, Asuna noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Si, but this time, it was real.

Just as she was thinking, Asuna suddenly came to her senses and noticed that Zhao Si's face was getting closer to hers.

"Mr. Zhao Si? Um..."

It was not difficult to guess what would happen next, but Asuna just stood there, looking at Zhao Si with a misty look. She whispered the man's name and then closed her eyes.

The disappearance of her sight made Asuna's other senses become unusually sharp. She felt a warm and moist touch on her mouth, and the hot breath hitting her face seemed to ignite her whole body.

All feelings at this moment seem extremely real, not illusory, but real.

At this moment, in the corridor, soft lights filled every corner within sight, and directly below the lights, as time passed, the shadows of Zhao Si and Asuna gradually merged together.

Chapter 534 Plan.

Two months have passed since the unknown incident on the first floor. During this period, just as Zhao Si had guessed, the same situation has occurred on the second, third, and fourth floors.

Fortunately, with the lessons learned from the first floor, most of the players who originally settled in the first ten floors had already moved to higher floors as early as the beginning.

Only a few players stayed behind for various reasons, and eventually ended up with the same fate as the first-level players.

At the same time, during these two months, the strategy team also worked at full capacity to push the front line to the 55th floor.

And just today, the original strategy team was planning to carry out the strategy operation on the 56th floor. However, just as they were about to set off, Zhao Wu and others were taken away by Zhao Si.

Aincrad, fifth floor.

According to the time pattern of the changes between reality and illusion in the first four layers, if nothing unexpected happens, in the next few days, the fifth layer will become a real world like the previous four layers, and everything that exists in it will become real.

In this situation, the main street area of ​​the fifth floor, which originally had a few players left, now had no players left.

However, today, after almost all the players had left, the blue data light appeared again above the fifth-floor teleportation plaza.

"Ah, it's completely empty. There's no one there."

Looking up at the quiet town, Zhao Wu said.

Not only her, but the girls following her were also constantly looking around, as if they were looking for someone.

"Where is Zhao Si? What does that guy want to do? He asked us to come to the fifth floor, but he is nowhere to be found. Is he playing tricks on us?" After looking around and not seeing Zhao Si, Gabriel said with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Mr. Zhao Si went to pick up Yui, saying that it would be safer if Yui was present for the next matter." Asuna said after hearing this. If you look closely, you will find that she is wearing a silver ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

"Oh, that's how it is..."

Hearing this, Gabriel looked at Asuna, and as he looked, his eyes involuntarily looked at Asuna's left hand...

There's no way, she still cares about something.

"Uh, Gabriel?"

Noticing Gabriel's gaze, Asuna shook her head helplessly and said, "I've shown it to you several times before, right? The ring really doesn't have any hidden properties. It only has commemorative significance."

"Can't you?"

Hearing this, Gabriel frowned: "But you've obviously become so much stronger since then, and I always beat you in previous sparring matches."

If this isn't adding hidden familiarity, what is it?

"That doesn't mean anything, does it? My strength is similar to yours, and I'm in good shape, so I can perform better. Isn't it natural that I can beat you more?" Asuna said.

"You're in good shape, um...that's true..." Hearing this, Gabriel thought for a while.

This guy has become a different person since he married Zhao Si. He used to have a stern face every day, but now he smiles so much in one day that it lasts for a whole month.

Hmm... Could it be that love really has such a magical power that it can greatly increase a person's strength?

For Gabriel, what she cared about was not the fact that Zhao Si and Asuna became a couple, but the changes in Asuna after she became a partner with Zhao Si.

Just as she said, before that, her winning rate in sparring with Asuna was basically around 70%. However, after marrying Zhao Si, Asuna not only became more cheerful, but also became stronger. She has always won in the recent sparring matches.

This made her very dissatisfied. It was okay to lose once, it was not like she had never lost before. Why did she keep losing? Would she be allowed to play with her?

Because of this, she felt that the extra ring on Asuna's hand must have some special amplifying effect.

However, in reality, this ring automatically appeared on Asuna's finger the day after Zhao Si confessed to her.

Sword Art Online's system includes a marriage feature, where the couple receives a pair of rings. As Asuna mentioned, the rings don't have any special amplification effects, and their practical value far outweighs their commemorative significance.

It is worth mentioning that although the game system on his body has disappeared, Zhao Si also got a ring. However, unlike Asuna, Zhao Si's ring did not appear directly on his finger, but was placed in a box on the table in the house.

Actually, besides Gabriel, there were many other girls present who were staring at the ring on Asuna's hand.

Compared to Gabriel, who only thinks about games, other people's thoughts on the ring are not about the hidden amplification properties, but they care more about the meaning represented by the ring.

Love, it is something worth looking forward to for every girl.

In fact, Asuna is not the only one who has strange feelings for Zhao Si. At the beginning, they may have only had a vague affection for Zhao Si and just wanted to stay with Zhao Si more, and did not think about becoming lovers.

Since learning that Asuna and Zhao Si became lovers, these people finally came to their senses from their sour mood and realized the meaning of that good impression.

It turns out that I like Zhao Si too!

However, it seems a little too late, because Zhao Si is already with Asuna.

They couldn't help but feel disappointed. Deeply influenced by modern society, they couldn't do anything like competing with Asuna for a man. At this point, they could only bury their feelings for Zhao Si in their hearts, savoring them in their spare time and imagining their own little dramas with Zhao Si.

"Are all of them here? There shouldn't be anyone who hasn't arrived yet, right?"

Just as everyone was looking at the ring in Asuna's hand and thinking all kinds of thoughts in their minds, a voice sounded in their ears.

Everyone raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction where the sound came from. Two figures, one big and one small, holding hands came into view.

"Mr. Zhao Si!"

"Ah, mother!"

Yui, who was holding Zhao Si's hand, suddenly brightened up her eyes when she saw Asuna. She broke free from Zhao Si's hand and ran towards Asuna.

"No, everyone is here. Brother, what do you want us to do?" Zhao Wu came to Zhao Si and asked.

"Well, I found something. Since you are all here, I will tell you straight away." Zhao Si said, looking at the people in front of him.

Hearing this, the girls all turned their eyes to Zhao Si and fell silent.

As for Zhao Si, he just thought for a moment, and then said something that shocked everyone:

"I intend to turn you into the same state as those people on the first floor."

Chapter 535 Kuroyukihime

Aincrad, 56th floor, Block Plaza.

At this time, the elite members of the strategy team gathered in the spacious square, with a total number of nearly 150 people.

There are now many people in the strategy group, but the space in the BOSS room is limited, so not everyone can participate in the BOSS strategy.

For example, the team of 150 people in the square now, each member is an elite carefully selected by major guilds.

However, even so, these people are not actually the ones in the strategy group who can truly conquer the BOSS.

As the number of floors increases, players find that not only has the strength of the BOSS increased, but the overall difficulty of the strategy has also become more and more difficult.

For example, after the 50th floor, on every subsequent floor, the area where the BOSS room is located will spawn many elite monsters subordinate to the BOSS.

The main purpose of these people's existence is to help the real strategy team eliminate these large numbers of elite monsters, so that the strategy team can face the BOSS in the most perfect condition.

The true defensive boss raiding team consisted of 40 people. The members of that team were the best of the best in terms of level, equipment, and skills.

Among the nearly 50,000 players, only 40 elite players have been found so far.

Now, the attack on the 56th floor has begun again, but some people in the attacking team have not yet arrived.

"It's too slow. Hey, little girl, do you know why they haven't come for so long?" In the square, the president of the Fenghuoshan Forest Guild, a man named Klein, asked Yuki with a depressed look on his face.

In Klein's impression, Yuki usually had a good relationship with Zhao Wu and the others, so he wanted to ask if he could know the reason why Zhao Wu and the others were late.

Yes, the people who have not arrived yet are Zhao Wu and the others. Because of them, the attack on the 56th floor was temporarily put on hold. But this time, they have not arrived even though half an hour has passed since the gathering time.

"Ah? Uncle, are you asking me?" Hearing this, Yuki looked around and then pointed at himself and asked.

"Who else could it be but you? By the way, uncle? Do I look that old?" Klein said with some difficulty accepting it.

Hearing this, Yuuki didn't say anything, but looked at Klein quietly and nodded.

"...Okay, if you think about it carefully, it's okay to call me uncle at your age." After a moment of silence, Klein said resignedly.

"So what's going on with them?"

"I don't know about that either. I sent a message to Asuna before, but she said they were on their way. I guess they'll be here soon." Hearing that, Yuki scratched his head and said.

She knew before that Asuna and the others left because Zhao Si had something to discuss with them.

Ever since Zhao Si helped her and other people in the Sleeping Knight to heal, Zhao Si's status in her heart has reached a very high level, almost to the point of blind trust.

Since it was Zhao Si who was looking for Asuna and the others, there must be something very important, which is why they came so slowly.

Yuki didn't care about this at all, and was even a little curious. She wanted to know what had happened that could have delayed Asuna and the others for so long with Zhao Si present.

Just as he was thinking, Yuki suddenly noticed the movement coming from the teleportation point.

"Oh, here they come. It should be Asuna and the others." Yuki said, pointing in the direction of the teleportation point.

The sound spread, and immediately, everyone else in the square looked towards the teleportation point.

In front of the teleportation point, blue data streams surged, and then a door nearly three meters high appeared out of thin air.

The door opened, and more than a dozen young and beautiful figures walked out one after another and came to the square.

"Asuna!"

Looking at the girls, Yuuki immediately spotted Asuna and ran towards her.

"Yuuki." On the other side, Asuna heard Yuuki's voice just after her front foot landed on the ground. She turned around and looked at the girl running towards her with a smile.

Speaking of which, Yuuki and Asuna have a very good relationship. They quickly became familiar with each other from the first time they met and were as close as sisters.

And the other side.

"You are finally here. Could you please explain why you are late?" Asuna and the others finally arrived. At this time, a girl with long black hair and delicate face came out from the strategy group and said to Zhao Wu.

"Kuroyuki-hime..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhao Wu told her her game ID.

When Zhao Wu learned from Zhao Si that this world was a reorganized world, she understood why she could meet so many familiar people through the game terminal.

Apart from the girls that Zhao Wu had already met and successfully invited to join, it was obvious that the birth of this reorganized world did not only include the worldviews that those girls originally belonged to.

The girl in front of her, whom she called Kuroyukihime, was one example. The world she originally lived in was completely different from the girls around Zhao Wu.

As a member of the strategy team, Zhao Wu naturally has a good relationship with Kuroyukihime, and Zhao Wu also invited Kuroyukihime, but Kuroyukihime did not agree.

Kuroyukihime is very powerful, and her outstanding appearance and temperament make her very popular among the Clearers. It is said that she originally did not intend to create a guild, but because so many people wanted to follow her, she later created a guild.
