Chapter 191

In the evening, after eating the dinner that Sakuya had carefully prepared, we bickered for a while, and after resting for a while, I entered the game Alo.

　　Today we’re going to explore a place called Luguru Corridor. Leafa received a quest from an NPC with a pretty good reward, so we all decided to work together to quickly conquer it.

　　Upon arriving at our destination, we discovered that Luguru Corridor was a large cave. In order to proceed with the raid as quickly as possible, Asuna and the others split up and entered the cave in two groups. Asuna and Leafa were one group, while I was in another group with Liz and Silica. Yui stayed with Asuna and the others for easy communication.

　　Along the road surrounded by rocky cliffs, Silica and Liz dealt with many bats, while I relied on Mercury Lamp as the main damage dealer, buffing them and providing healing.

　　”Another fork in the road, what should we do?” We hadn’t walked far when we came to another fork in the road in the cave, so we stopped to discuss what to do.

　　”How about we split into another team? The monsters in the cave are all within our level to handle on our own. If we encounter danger, I can teleport using my connection with Mercury Lamp,” I suggested, stroking my chin.

　　”You mean I, Silica, and Mercury Lamp are in one team, and you and the other one are in another team?” Liz immediately understood what I meant. The special teleportation skill between the summoner and the pet can indeed guarantee support at any time.

　　”Yes, this is more effective and safer.” Suigintou and I had used the special skill before when Asuna and the others were leveling up. This skill was originally just to summon the pet back to the summoner’s side, but after my adjustment, it became a skill that could teleport between each other.

　　“That’s a good suggestion. Silica, who do you want to team up with?” Liz felt that she could accept being on a team with anyone, so she gave the choice to Silica. In her opinion, given Silica’s personality, she would probably choose to team up with Suigintou.

　　“I choose…” Silica hesitated for a moment, but in the end the girl decided that her friend’s safety was the priority, “Let’s team up with Jianyi.”

　　“Okay, then I’ll team up with Mercury Lamp.” Liz was a little surprised by Silica’s choice, but she wasn’t too worried. After spending time with him, she felt that this man shouldn’t be a bad person, and besides, he wasn’t a slut who couldn’t log out of the game.

　　After deciding on the team division, Silica, Liz, and Suigintou split up to carry out their missions separately. Without Liz and Suigintou, Silica immediately became nervous.

　　”Silica, do you need to be so nervous? Why didn’t you choose to be on the same team as Suigintou?” Silica’s body was tense, and she walked stiffly. It would be strange if I didn’t notice.

　　”It’s all because of you, Master, I’m scared…” Silica stammered halfway through her sentence, and at the same time, the girl’s face turned slightly red.

　　”What are you afraid of?” I moved closer to the girl. Silica, who was in an elven form, had long brown hair tied into pigtails with red beaded hair ties. Two ribbons extended down from the hair ties. She had reddish-brown eyes, a small nose, and moist cherry lips.

　　She wore a dark blue combat suit with gold trim, and a silver-white breastplate protected her chest. The slightly protruding breastplate protected the girl’s breasts.

　　A glimpse of the girl’s waist was visible on the lower side of the breastplate. Silica wore black fingerless gloves on her delicate hands, and a gray belt cinched her slender waist. Below the belt was the skirt of her blue combat suit, the front of which was uncovered, revealing the girl’s lower body clad in a black pleated skirt.

　　Below the black pleated skirt were the girl’s slender legs clad in black stockings, with a gold stripe at the top of the stockings. The black pleated skirt and black stockings created an alluring “absolute territory.”

　　Her jade-like feet were adorned with a pair of dark blue flat shoes with gold trim and a circular opening, resembling anklets on her slender, stocking-like ankles.

　　The biggest difference is the fluffy animal ears on its head, which look soft, and a fluffy brown tail.

　　”I’m afraid you’ll hurt Liz, Master… Oh, you’re too close.” Silica mustered her courage to speak, only realizing I was right next to her when my breath hit her.

　　”It seems Silica hasn’t had any close contact with me in a long time. How can it be considered close if we’re not at zero distance?” After the Sao incident, the closest I’ve ever been to Silica was probably when I kissed her cheek in the real world.

　　“Negative…negative distance…” Silica, who was already clueless about sex, could not guess the meaning of this word. “Master, don’t do anything rash. We are in the process of conquering him right now.”

　　”Hmm, Silica, do you mean it’s okay after the conquest is over?” I put one arm around Silica’s slender waist. Because of the exposed side waist design, my hand could directly touch the girl’s smooth skin.

　　”No, I didn’t mean that at all!” Silica vehemently denied it, shaking her head. “Besides, it’ll be late by the time we finish the walkthrough. If Mom finds out I’m still playing games so late, she’ll definitely come in and scold me. And if I do that…that…”

　　“There are indeed many things to consider. Let’s get started now.” I reached my hand into the opening on Silica’s side waist. I have to say that this design, besides being visually appealing, is also quite convenient in terms of movement.

　　”Master, were you even listening to what they were saying?!” Silica had anticipated this situation, but that didn’t mean she could accept it easily. At least find a more normal place.

　　”Don’t worry, of course I listened to what Silica said.” I placed my hand on Silica’s soft belly, my palm circling over her smooth stomach.

　　”You’re lying, Master, your… you’re reacting down there.” Behind Silica’s pleated skirt, something hot was pressing against her buttocks through the hem. Although it had been a while since she had been in contact with it, Silica had not forgotten what had happened in Sao.

　　“It’s alright, I won’t go inside Silica, but…” My fingers circled around Silica’s small navel, and the girl’s delicate body, which I was holding, trembled slightly.

　　”But what?” A familiar teasing sensation washed over her; it was the skillful teasing technique that Silica had long been accustomed to during her time in Sao. Honestly, why does this game have to be made so realistic? After being teased, her body began to react.

　　”But this has to be resolved, otherwise Silica, your master won’t be able to see Liz and the others.” I took off my pants and underwear, and my naked, large penis pressed directly against Silica’s pleated skirt.

　　”Eek!” Silica gasped as the hot, massive member pressed against the delicate skin of her inner thigh. The enormous thing that had been thrusting and pounding inside her repeatedly made her body instinctively go limp. “Master…”

　　”Silica, don’t worry, I’ll just rub against your legs. Silica, you should know what leg sex is, right?” I had taught Silica foot sex, leg sex, and breast sex before, so I’m sure the girl hasn’t forgotten them.

　　”Ugh… It was a promise, Master, it was just leg-to-leg sex.” If it was just leg-to-leg sex, Silica wouldn’t be unable to accept it; at least it was better than what she had just worried about.

　　”Of course, I’m not the kind of person who likes to mess around.” I started thrusting my big, thick penis. Because it was long enough, I could fully touch Silica’s thighs, which were covered by stockings and were smooth.

　　Two different tactile sensations meet at the top of the stockings, the smooth cotton stockings on my thighs creating a wonderful combination with my smooth thighs, stimulating my senses and giving me the motivation to twitch.

　　”Master, slow down.” Enveloped by a familiar masculine scent, and with a hot, thick thing moving in and out between her thighs, Silica suspected she might have already gone limp if she hadn’t been held in the arms.

　　”It’s been a long time since I’ve had leg-to-leg sex with Silica, so it’s hard to slow down.” I lowered my head and rubbed against Silica’s fluffy animal ears, which I’d been wanting to scrub for a while now.

　　”No, Master, there… um…” Silica’s body tensed when I touched her animal ears. It was clear that this was a sensitive spot for her, so I raised my left hand and gently rubbed her animal ears.

　　Now Silica is being attacked from all three sides: her upper body, middle body, and lower body. I gently rub her animal ears, I caress her lower abdomen, and I rub her legs with my big penis. Before long, the girl is blushing and panting.

　　My hot penis thrust out between Silica’s thighs, my swollen scrotum slapping against her thighs with a crisp slapping sound. The girl’s petite body swayed back and forth with my thrusts.

　　This situation gave Silica the illusion that she was having sex instead of leg intercourse, an illusion that filled the girl with shame: What strange things are you thinking, Silica!

　　”Master… why… why haven’t you ejaculated yet…” Half an hour had passed without her realizing it. Silica was worried that the others had almost finished their exploration and would contact her at any time. More importantly, if she continued, her body would become increasingly strange.

　　”Maybe there wasn’t enough stimulation. Why don’t you say some nice things, Silica, then I’ll ejaculate.” The girl’s smooth thighs and black stockings were wet with my pre-ejaculate, making her movements even more lubricated.

　　”Um…I…” The girl’s pretty face flushed red. Silica understood what those so-called “good words” meant; they were those embarrassing words.

　　”Silica, just say it, okay?” When I was making love with Silica in Sao, I taught her how to say lewd words. Later, she gradually mastered it and would involuntarily say them when she couldn’t help herself during our lovemaking.

　　The bite on the animal ear caused Silica to let out a soft moan. The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, “Master… shoot it out… shoot your semen… onto your Silica…”

　　After saying that, Silica closed her eyes tightly, and a tear seemed to glisten in the corner of her eye. Oh, how embarrassing.

　　However, it was a great stimulation for me. I pressed my hands tightly against Silica’s thighs, and her soft thigh flesh squeezed my thick and long penis. Correspondingly, Silica’s thigh flesh was also squeezed into the shape of my penis.

　　”Phew, since Silica said so, I have no choice but to ejaculate and get my semen on her.” As I entered the final sprint, I held the petite Silica and fucked her hard between her thighs.

　　Without my conscious control, the thick, long penis inevitably touched Silica’s private parts as it passed over her thighs and the head of the penis pointed upwards. Although Silica’s private parts were covered by her underwear, the touch of the hot penis head could not be completely blocked by a single layer of fabric.

　　”Master…you’re doing this…I…” Silica’s body was already feeling weak and tingly, and with this thrust, her little hole was touched by the hot glans, and her slightly moist little hole immediately flowed out more shameful fluid.

　　”It’s okay, Silica, let’s go together.” Judging from Silica’s reaction, I knew that the girl was about to climax. How could I let go of the opportunity to climax together? So I deliberately used my big penis to precisely press against Silica’s vagina.

　　”Ugh… I can’t take it anymore… um…” My actions instantly broke down Silica’s defenses, and the girl had a small climax before I did.

　　At the same time, I pressed against Silica’s private parts and released my ejaculation. Hot semen shot out from my urethra, spraying directly onto Silica’s wet panties.

　　”It’s so hot…” The semen soaked through her panties and touched Silica’s labia. The hot semen clung to her sensitive labia during her minor orgasm, turning her minor orgasm into a full-blown orgasm. Her vaginal fluids and semen immediately mingled together.

　　”Silica, do you have the correct exit over there? I think I’ve found it.” Liz sent a message to Silica, looking at the bright light shining into the exit of the passage.

　　”Sorry, I was fighting monsters and didn’t have time to reply. We haven’t found it yet, so we’ll just teleport to Liz’s location in a bit.” Silica replied to Liz’s message after about five minutes, confirming that she was fighting monsters, just as Liz had guessed.

　　“Okay.” Liz replied to Silica, then headed towards the exit. It’s usually better to teleport to a more open space. Mercury Lamp floated behind Liz, slowly following her.

　　As Liz emerged from the cave, she saw a lake of moderate size, surrounded by clusters of crystals that emitted a soft glow, making the lake look absolutely beautiful.

　　Across the lake stands a dark blue bridge, about 200 meters long and 50 meters wide. On the other side of the bridge is a smooth stone wall, intricately carved with characters. That must be the objective of this mission: to investigate the ancient script in the cave.

　　”Liz, we’re about to be teleported here.” At that moment, Liz received a message from Silica. The pink-haired girl replied with an OK emoji to her friend, and then a white light appeared beside her.

　　”It’s all Master’s fault, I almost didn’t reply to Liz’s message.” Silica took a while to recover after the climax, but as soon as she saw Liz’s message, she replied immediately.

　　”I’m sorry, Silica is just too cute, I couldn’t control myself.” Silica, who had just calmed down, was still in my arms, and I couldn’t help but lean down and nuzzle her with her rosy cheeks.

　　”Oh, Master is too cunning…” A little embarrassed by the praise, Silica twisted her petite body. Only when she moved did she remember that her lower body was wet, with her love juice and the semen that had been shot onto it.

　　”Master, you’ve made me… all wet down there, what should I do? I have to see Liz and the others later, what if they find out… sob…” Just thinking about it made Silica shrink into a ball in shame. If they were found out, she probably wouldn’t be able to face them again.

　　”Isn’t your master here? This little thing can be easily solved.”

　　”Then Master, why don’t you hurry up?”

　　”Alright, alright.” A cleansing spell, a replica of the real-life version, was cast. Actually, I wanted to see Silica’s shy expression a little longer, but alas.

　　Seeing that the wet feeling in her lower body had disappeared, Silica breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer worried about Liz and the others discovering the abnormality in her lower body.

　　”Master, let’s teleport to Liz’s place quickly, otherwise Liz might become suspicious if we wait too long.” After cleaning herself up, Silica didn’t forget that Liz was waiting on the other side.

　　”Silica, you’re making it sound like we’re having an affair behind Liz’s back.” I touched Silica’s brown animal ears. I have to say, the girl’s animal ears felt amazing, fluffy and soft, and most importantly, they would tremble when touched.

　　”Master!” Silica stamped her small foot, which was wearing dark blue flat ankle boots. She was still feeling ashamed, and now that she had been told this, it was even harder for her to get over it.

　　”Alright, that’s enough. Let’s prepare to teleport.” I extended my hand to Silica, explaining to the girls that my teleportation required simple physical contact to trigger.

　　”Master, if you keep talking nonsense, I won’t talk to you anymore.” Despite saying that, Silica still obediently placed her jade-like hand, which was wearing a black fingerless glove, into my hand.

　　”OK, OK.” As soon as I finished speaking, Silica’s and my groans disappeared into the cave passage.

　　”Silica, Ken, you’re here! I think I’ve found the target for today’s mission.” Upon seeing the two emerge from the white light, Liz pointed to the stone wall across the bridge.

　　”Great, let’s hurry up and complete the mission.” Silica immediately distanced herself from me after we arrived, as if to avoid suspicion.

　　“Yeah, I already told Asuna and the others that they’ll be here as soon as possible. Let’s go check out the stone wall first. Hmm?” Liz suddenly leaned closer to Silica as she spoke.

　　”Liz, what’s wrong?” Silica’s heart skipped a beat. Had Liz discovered something? What should she do? How should she explain?

　　”Silica, your face is a little red. Was the battle just now that intense?” Liz said, tapping Silica’s still-blushing cheek with her jade-like fingers.

　　”Ah, yes, you see, I even temporarily recalled Pina to help her recover. There might be a battle later, so I need to be prepared.” Fortunately, it wasn’t what Silica was worried about, and Liz even came up with a reason for her, so the girl naturally went along with what she said.

　　”In that case, do we need to rest for a while? We can wait until Asuna and Leafa arrive before investigating the stone wall.”

　　”No need, we can just walk there slowly.”

　　Liz and Silica walked ahead while Mercury Lamp and I followed behind. The group slowly crossed the dark blue bridge. Halfway across, no monsters appeared yet, but instead of monsters, another group of things arrived.

　　”Father.” Mercury Lamp, sensing something amiss, leaned on my shoulder. If needed, she could handle the guys coming from behind on her own.

　　”Hmm.” The person who came wasn’t very strong, so it was a good opportunity for the girls to practice. Therefore, I didn’t let Suigintou take care of him first. “Silica, Liz, something’s up.”

　　”What happened, Master… Jian?” Silica almost blurted out the word “Master,” but thankfully she corrected herself in time.

　　”There are players coming this way, about twenty of them.” As soon as I finished speaking, a group of players wearing red armor emerged from the other cave entrance and immediately ran to the bridgehead, lined up, and marched towards us.

　　”Are these people dressed as fire elves?” The newcomers were all dressed in red, but Liz could tell from their appearance that this was the typical attire of fire elves.

　　”They seem… what should we do? They don’t look very friendly.” These people took out shields and weapons and lined up in three rows, looking quite menacing. Silica didn’t think they were just passing by.

　　”If they want to fight, then we’ll just have to let them go and never come back, right, Mercury Lamp?” In-game PvP isn’t uncommon, but to follow someone into a cave like this, fully armed, it’s hard to believe it wasn’t planned.

　　”Hmm.” Mercury Lamp spread her black wings and took flight again, showing her support for my words through her actions.

　　“That’s right.” Liz, whose main job is blacksmithing, has experienced a lot of battles. Gathering materials often requires some kind of battle. Although she hasn’t had much experience fighting other people, this isn’t SAO. As long as no one dies, the girl doesn’t need to worry too much about anything else.

　　“Then I’ll come out too, Pina.” Seeing Liz take out her hammer and Mercury Lamp spread her wings, both of them were ready for battle. Silica didn’t dare to fall behind and summoned Pina, taking out her melee short sword.

　　”Judging from your apparent willingness to fight, I advise you to surrender immediately, which will save us a lot of trouble.” The red-armored warriors, advancing rapidly, soon came within sixty meters of us. At this moment, a man who was probably the leader at the rear shouted.

　　”That’s what I should be saying to you guys.” I looked at the person who spoke. He was the only one in the whole group wearing a mage’s robe and at the very back. Who else should I arrest if not you?

　　“That’s right, you’re the ones who should surrender.” A female voice came from not far away, followed by a blue phantom rushing over. She held a silver-white rapier in her hand, and her white boots with cross patterns stomped the ground rapidly. Her long blue hair fluttered in the air.

　　Following closely behind the girl with long, azure blue hair, a girl with a single golden ponytail spread her pale green fairy wings and flew rapidly towards them. Needless to say, these two were Asuna and Leafa, who had come to reunite.

　　As soon as the two girls exited the leftmost cave passage, they saw a line of players in fiery red armor on the bridge. Asuna, with her rich combat experience, immediately realized the situation and she and Leafa rushed towards the bridge.

　　“It’s Asuna and the others.” Silica and Liz nodded to each other, and the two girls also launched an attack on the players in fiery red armor. Pina flew in front, Liz wielded an iron hammer and moved forward, while Silica lagged behind two or three body lengths to provide magical support from behind.

　　”Mercury Lamp, why don’t you go and help out too?”

　　”Yes, Father.” Suigintou waved her black wings and followed behind Silica and the others. The girls all took action, and I couldn’t just stand by and watch, so I applied various buffs to them.

　　Agility boost, accuracy boost, strength boost—all sorts of buffs were being applied to the girls as if they had no mana to burn. While applying the buffs, I couldn’t help but remind them, “Leave anyone behind for questioning, like the one in the mage robe.”

　　”You think attacking from both sides will work? Three teams, come and protect me in front. I’ll prepare my magic.” The man in the mage robe was confident because of his numerical advantage. A red light emanated from his hands, indicating that he was preparing a magical attack.

　　”Leafie.” Asuna showed no intention of slowing down; on the contrary, she moved even faster with the buff.

　　”Understood.” Leafa, who had been fighting alongside Asuna for some time, immediately understood Asuna’s meaning. She immediately cast a wind-based disruption spell, Azure Wind, a skill with very low destructive power, but capable of creating a strong wind to disrupt the enemy’s formation.

　　A strong, emerald-green wind arose, causing the line of red-armored players who were turning around to lose their formation. However, they quickly regained their footing, and just as they were about to rearrange their formation, a silver flash appeared, and a blue phantom passed between them.

　　”What!?” The mage in the robes had only finished half of his spellcasting when the defense was breached. The three people in the queue who had been passed through by the blue phantom all turned into specks of light, meaning they had been knocked down in one blow.

　　”Quiet down.” Without any unnecessary movements, Asuna swung her silver rapier and stabbed at the man in the mage robes. How could a professional mage possibly dodge Asuna’s attack? Almost instantly, he was knocked to the ground, his magic interrupted, and his health dropped to the red line.

　　Seeing this, Asuna used a water-based binding spell to restrain the man in the mage robe, then turned around and continued to join the battle without looking back.

　　The bound mage could only watch helplessly as his team was quickly defeated one by one. Despite having only six members, they had cleanly and efficiently wiped out a team of nearly twenty.

　　”Who exactly are you people?” The man in the mage robes who had lost everything he had received had long lost his initial confidence and composure.

　　”I should be the one asking you that question. Of course, you can choose not to answer, but don’t blame me for being impolite if you do.” Interrogation is something I should handle, but unfortunately, the other party isn’t a girl.

　　”I…” The man in the mage robe didn’t intend to reveal his purpose. He snapped out of his surprise and realized that he could log out to avoid being interrogated. Running away was better than being humiliated by the other side.

　　However, just as the man in the mage robe was about to log out, a sharp pain shot through his groin, instantly silencing him. “Ah… what… did you do… please… stop…”

　　”Who told you to be dishonest? If you don’t tell me, I can torture you slowly here. If you want to log out of the game, you either have to overcome your manhood pain first, or you have to confess honestly.”

　　The man in the mage robes’ contorted face of pain did not soften my heart. I continued to use micro-needle-like magical particles to pierce the man’s genitals. I had controlled the pain to a level that would not trigger a forced logout, but it was still excruciating enough, since it was a man’s most important part that was being attacked.

　　”Please…stop…I’ll talk…I’ll talk…” The man in the mage robe was in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down his face, which made me involuntarily take a step back.

　　”Speak quickly.” I temporarily stopped my interrogation of the man in the mage robe.

　　”It was the leader who ordered me to lead the attack on you. He said you were an unstable force that suddenly appeared, and that you were supposedly quite strong, so he sent three times your number of men.” The man in the mage robe took a deep breath and immediately explained the reason for his arrival, fearing further interrogation.

　　”Unstable factors? Who is your leader? Why do you call us an unstable factor?” Asuna and I were a small, independent group before, so we shouldn’t have offended any powerful forces. The only possibility is our cooperation with the Wind Elf Lord.

　　”Our leader is the lord of the fire spirits. He plans to attack the meeting of the lords of the wind spirits and cat demons. In order to avoid any complications, he plans to send some of his men to eliminate any of you who might come to provide support.”

　　”I see. You weren’t lying, were you?” Judging from the other person’s reaction and heartbeat, it’s unlikely they were lying.

　　”No, absolutely not.” The man in the mage robe dared not lie; he didn’t want to be tortured again for information within the game.

　　”Very well, as a reward for your honesty, I’ll log you off.” After saying that, before the man in the mage robe could react, I threw out a small knife and wiped out his last remaining health bar.

　　”Done, got the intelligence. Hmm? Why are you all suddenly so far away from me?” After dealing with the man in the mage robe, I turned to look at Asuna and the others and found that, except for Suigintou, all the girls had taken several steps back, about three meters away.

　　”Well… the scene of interrogating the enemy just now was a bit……” Leafa scratched her cheek with her slender fingers, seemingly embarrassed by her actions.

　　”Mmm.” Liz nodded in agreement. The main reason was that the man in the mage robe’s contorted appearance and cries of pain were a bit frightening. Of course, having experienced the death game that was SAO, she didn’t feel any fear or disgust. It’s just that girls are generally a little hard to accept in such scenes.

　　Silica was in the same situation, except that the person who attacked her had a special relationship with her, so she didn’t plan to back down at first. But when she saw Liz back down, she worried that if she didn’t, she might be discovered, so she followed suit.

　　As for Asuna, she was the least affected among the girls. Having experience PK-ing with red-named players in Sai, her cries of agony during that battle against them were far more agonizing than this.

　　But everyone retreated, leaving only Suigintou beside that person. She couldn’t possibly stay there with him, and Asuna didn’t want to reveal anything, so she retreated with him.

　　”Really? Then I’ll be more careful next time. Don’t worry, I won’t do that to you.” However, as soon as I said that, I was met with two slightly strange gazes, from Silica and Asuna.

　　I could tell from their eyes what they were trying to say: How dare you say that? At first, I didn’t understand, but after a moment’s thought, I roughly understood why they were like that. During intercourse, I forced them to say those shameful things. Could it be considered that I was using my penis to conduct a different kind of “torture” to get them to express their true feelings? I guess they were thinking of that.

　　”Jian, don’t worry about it. It’s my fault. If we had been the ones interrogating them, they might have already run away.” Leafa led the way back, feeling somewhat apologetic, since she was the first to back down, even though she was trying to gather information. It was her fault.

　　”It’s nothing, it’s normal for girls to dislike these kinds of scenes.” Since she didn’t seem afraid of me or anything, it’s not a problem for me.

　　”Phew, Jian, you’re so knowledgeable, you’ll definitely be popular with women.” Hearing me say that, Leafa felt a little relieved. She raised her hand and gently patted my shoulder, saying with a hint of agreement.

　　”Leaf, you have such keen eyes! You truly are a great teammate.” I returned Leafa’s gesture by putting my arm around her shoulder. The girl’s fair neck pressed against my arm, and her smooth skin was warm, perhaps because of the recent battle.

　　”Yeah, that’s right.” I don’t know if it was because she was embarrassed to avoid it after what just happened, but Leafa just turned her head to the side, and her pointed elven ears made me want to pinch them.

　　”Um, let’s talk about that later. Now we should discuss the information we just obtained.” Whether the other girls understood this man’s true nature or not, Asuna believed she had some understanding of him, even though it wasn’t something she wanted to know. But for Leafa’s safety, they had to change the subject first.

　　”Yes, Asuna is right. That person just said the fire spirit wanted to attack the meeting between the wind spirit lord and the cat demon, right?” Silica glanced discreetly at the hand on Leafa’s shoulder, and with similar thoughts to Asuna, continued the conversation.

　　Two girls with somewhat similar circumstances subtly achieve cooperation without each other’s knowledge? It looks quite interesting. It would be even better if they cooperated in bed. Looking at Asuna and Silica, I couldn’t help but sigh to myself.

　　“Yes, that’s right. Logically speaking, not many people should know about this meeting. Who leaked it? Is there a mole among the wind spirits, or the cat demons?” I put my hand down from Leafa’s shoulder, believing that there would still be opportunities in the future.

　　”I don’t know either. I hope it wasn’t leaked by someone from the wind elves.” Leafa, who was the most familiar with the wind elves among the girls, answered the question. After removing the arm around her shoulder, the girl seemed to return to her usual self.

　　”It seems we can only leave the investigation to Shuoye. Should we go and help? I personally prefer to. We are currently in a cooperative relationship with the Wind Spirits. Helping them will improve our partner’s favor and also give the Cat Demons a chance to do us a favor. Besides, we have a Wind Spirit player among us. It would be a bit unreasonable not to help.”

　　We can put the issue of the mole aside for now; it’s not something we should be worrying about. What we’re facing now is whether or not to go and provide support. But I’m just asking this as a formality; the girls’ answers are pretty predictable.

　　“If Father says so, then we’ll go.” That was Suigintou’s reply.

　　”I second that,” Asuna replied succinctly.

　　“Since they schemed against us like that, of course we have to get our revenge,” Liz said, waving her little fist in response.

　　”That’s right, we need to teach them a lesson.” Despite her small stature and young age, Silica has grown quite a bit and is not as delicate as she looks.

　　”Everyone… thank you.” To be precise, this matter concerns the Wind Elves and the Cat Demons. Participating in this matter would likely involve facing the main force of the Fire Elves, and even with a cooperative relationship, it would still be a troublesome affair. The fact that everyone was so supportive touched Leafa, a Wind Elf player.

　　”OK, everyone agrees, so let’s hurry up and set off.” After saying that, I extended a hand to the girls.

　　”Huh? Jian, what are you doing?” Silica almost put her hand on it, but luckily she realized what she was doing.

　　”Now that we’ve decided to go and provide support, we need to hurry. Among us, Suigintou, Asuna, and I are the fastest flying speeds. To get to the scene as quickly as possible, it’s best if each of us takes one with us.”

　　Needless to say, Suigintou and I are a given. Asuna, who has been nourished by me many times since entering Alo, also has attributes that are incomparable to ordinary players. Silica should have been the same, but since entering Alo, she has not had any in-depth communication with me, so her attributes have not received any additional boost for the time being.

　　They had been teaming up to fight for a while and knew that this statement was correct, but for a moment none of the remaining three girls responded. Silica wondered if being the first to lend a hand would make her seem too proactive, which made her hesitate, feeling a little guilty.

　　Leafa hesitated as well. Would it seem too intimate for them to reach out and touch hands now after someone had just put their arm around her? Neither woman responded for their own different yet somewhat similar reasons.

　　In terms of how well they knew each other, Liz had assumed Leafa or Silica would join her team, but it seemed they hadn’t. The pink-haired girl glanced around and, to avoid making someone feel awkward, decided to step forward. After all, they were teammates. “I’m fine with it, right?”

　　”Of course, no problem.” It would be even better if she could take off the armor gloves she was wearing. We hadn’t been in the last battle for long, and we’d probably be back soon, so Liz didn’t remove the armor on her hands. Naturally, my hands couldn’t touch the girl’s delicate skin.

　　With the first group formed, the rest was simple: Mercury Lamp would take charge of the relatively petite Silica, while Asuna would take charge of the well-developed Leafa.

　　We paired up and took off immediately. I also cast a flight speed buff on Asuna, and the three of us flew towards the exit of the rock cave.

　　Many monsters blocked our way to the exit, but we ignored them all. As we dodged them, the brightly lit cave exit became increasingly tight. At this rate, we should be able to catch up.
