Chapter 5 The upcoming duel
The next day
Kirito hid in the second floor of Aikil's grocery store since the morning. He was trapped in a rocking chair, with his feet raised and his unhappy mood, and sipped the tea with a strange taste - probably the bad stock in the store.
The entire Algert - probably the entire Iron Grand Talisman was discussing yesterday's [event].
Originally, just completing the floor strategy and opening the transfer door to the new town, these things were already full of topics, and now there are several more topics. For example, [the demon who destroyed the huge army's troops], [the fifty combo strikes when the second sword stream defeated the demon alone], etc.……
As a result, Kirito was surrounded by swordsmen and intelligence dealers who had received news from somewhere, and had to use crystals to get out.
"I must move...to a village that is absolutely impossible to find in a super country floor..."
Aikil smiled and walked towards Kirito who kept thinking about it.
"Oh, don't say that. It's good to be a celebrity occasionally. By the way, should I just give a speech? Leave the venue and tickets to me..."
"Who wants to do it!"
He shouted and aimed the cup on his right hand at fifty centimeters to the right of Aikil and threw it over. But the natural movements triggered the flying sword skill. The cup that emitted light flew out at a super fast speed, making a loud noise after hitting the wall.
"Wow! Do you want to kill me??"
"Sorry, sorry, by the way - give it to, Aikil. This is what I promised to give you last time."
"You guy really wrote it."
Aikir opened the message from Kirito and started reading.
[Really, the rich taste of the soft meat cubes makes people feel "It's great to live until now."]
“………………… Kirito, starting today, all the products only double the price for you.”
"I'm sorry, I'm so proud!"
He was sitting solemnly apologizing.
At this time, the sound of footsteps climbing upwards came from the stairs. Then the door was quickly opened.
"Hi, Asuna…..."
Kirito swallowed it back halfway—Asuna looked pale and her big eyes were uneasy. She held her hands tightly in front of her chest, bit her lips twice, and then she said as if she was about to cry: "What should I do... Kirito... It's a big deal..."

"I said to Mr. Hizcli, but I will first propose a duel to Mr. Kirito. There must be someone who comes first and then."
Located on the main street area on the 55th floor, in the conference room of the Blood Alliance Knights Order headquarters in Gransam City, the only three players with [unique skills] in the entire Sao gathered together.
"No - this is related to our deputy commander's stay or not, so sorry, I can't let it go."
Hitzcliff said lightly.
Asuna asked him to leave the group for a while, but was asked to compete - if Kirito wins, he can take Asuna away, otherwise he will join the Blood Alliance Knights.
Kuina, who learned the news, immediately rushed over and started arguing with Hitzcliff.
"Even this is the case, we can't give it to you. Men who just interfere in other people's dates will be annoying."
"I should say this sentence. Besides, it doesn't matter if you just retreat like this."
Stare at each other and refuse to give in to each other.
Perhaps because they were former opponents, their sense of unity and confrontation quickly ignited.
"Can I give you some advice?"
A member of the Knights of the Blood Alliance spoke suddenly.
Hitzcliff nodded silently, and Kuyna also replied, "It's okay."
"Isn't it better if the princess is going to compete with Kirito first, and then the leader will fight Kirito for a game."
"Where is my position?"
Ignoring Kirito's speech, Kuina nodded with satisfaction, while Hitzcliff frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Honey Hizcli, are you dissatisfied with this resolution☆"
“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Seeing Kuyina's bright smile and the black air behind her, Hitzcliff's body shook obviously and he quickly sat back on the seat.
(The team leader shook a little just now?)
(Ah, I definitely shivered.)
"Then, Kirito-kun."
Kuyina looked at Kirito standing beside her - her eyes were filled with a fiery fire that looked like a longing for a lover.
"You are also eager to fight with me - a blade that strikes each other, strikes each other, cuts each other, and meets each other."
Kirito took a step forward, directly receiving Kuyana's fiery gaze from the front, and then spoke like a semi-automatically: "Okay. If you want the real chapter to be seen under the sword, then we can use the duel to determine the best."

The 75th floor main street area, which was newly opened last week, was full of ancient Roman-style buildings. The name indicated on the map was [Corinia]. At present, many swordsmen and merchant players have entered here, and there are also many people who do not participate in the guide, just to see the street appearance influx, and the whole town is full of vitality. In addition, there are quite rare special activities today, causing the transfer door to spit out many visitors from the morning.
The street is built of white limestone cut into four corners. It is called the symbol of the town along with the temple-style buildings and the wide waterways. It is a huge arena standing in front of the transfer gate. The showdown between Kirito and Kuyna was decided to be held here. But...
"A cup of hot popcorn! Ten Coles!"
"Cold dark beer!"
At the entrance of the arena, there were many shops of merchants and players lined up, each of them tugging their throats and shouting, selling food that looked quite suspicious to the long queues of viewers.
"I said, Husband Hizcli, is this your real purpose?"
Kuyna looked at Hitzcliff, who was standing silently beside her.
"No, I think this should be a good thing Mr. Dashan, the accountant, did - sorry, I didn't know it would become like this."
“I want the performance fee.”
"No problem, go find Mr. Oseki-kun is here."
As Hitzcliff said, Kirito and Asuna were talking to a fat man in a red and white uniform at the entrance.
"That's over there, Mr. Dashan-Ying, go and talk to him about the performance fee - at least half of the income this time."
"I understand, Your Highness the Princess."
Fire nodded and walked over.
"Does the battle between users [unique skills]? It reminds me of the battle with you."
"Ah. I can still clearly hear the pleasant sound of your and my swords colliding. That battle made me quite satisfied."
Sighing, Kuyina raised the corner of her mouth unconsciously, "So, can you satisfy me - our **kun, Kirito-kun?"
Chapter completed!
