Under the starry sky at night, the girl pressed on the boy, and both of them could feel each other's violent heartbeat and heavy breathing.

His eyes widened, his lips, whose four petals were pressed together, immediately separated, and the tips of his nose touched lightly on the way, exclaiming together.

Natsume put his hands on the shoulders of the girl pressing against him, pushed her apart and saw clearly the girl's appearance.

The caramel-colored pair of ponytails, slightly damp eyes, and the small vermilion lips were just as they were surprised.

The girl has a delicate face, her very smooth-looking skin shines brightly in the moonlight, and her childlike appearance and expression that she is about to cry is very pleasing.

Wearing a red battle costume, the exposed shoulders that were grabbed by both hands were very slender, and they could be easily crushed with force.

So, this girl, like a delicately carved puppet, sat on her belly with her legs crossed.

Natsume was silent, while the girl was silent.

About five seconds of blank period passed.

"Dear, let's get married."

"Oh? What? I don't feel anything at all, please don't care."

"Are you saying you're going to do it again?!"

Why are you so distorted?!

Natsume looked at the girl's right hand raised high, and while waving, a winged blue dragon she called "Bina" rushed towards Natsume's eyes.

It was such a vicious trick from the beginning!

He let go of the girl's shoulders, and immediately moved his right hand, held the hilt of the sword with his backhand and then stepped horizontally. He used the blade to block Bi Na's dazzling attack.

With his left hand, Natsume suddenly pushed the girl down with her seat. The blade was placed on her neck in an instant.

After taking a closer look through the moonlight, it turns out that this is not someone else, but someone with some impression.

SAO's middle-level player, the beast trainer (Dragon Envoy) Celica, and the demon is [Wingdragon] Bina.

Finding herself at a disadvantage, Celica dared not act rashly, and her devil was also very anxious to circle the two of them.

Sighing. Natsume stood up, moved the blade away from Celica's neck, and stretched out his left hand to her.

"Stand up."

“Yes, yes—not right!”

Standing up with his own strength, Celica looked at Natsume.

Her eyes moved on Natsume, and finally opened her eyes wide in horror.

"Does Celica's first kiss be dedicated to the girl?!"

"No!"

Being regarded as a girl again.

Natsume loudly denied Celica's words. He raised his left hand and pointed at his chest and said

"I see clearly, this is a male character, a man."

"This, so, Celica's first kiss was given to a voluntary man she didn't know, woosh..."

"Don't cry! Who is the unrestrained man? I'm so troublesome."

Natsume looked around in advance and finally walked over and said to Celica.

"Actually, I'm a girl."

"Stop lying!"

"……asshole!"

He clearly planned to tell a lie to make the other party stop crying, but it seemed that the lies after abandoning the shame were useless.

Suddenly, Natsume, who was upset that he said that, took a big step forward and hugged Celika in his arms.

The pterodactyl Bina above the head did not attack. Because it also sensed the danger from the top of the head, it circled around and protected its owner.

One second later, several huge eagle monsters fell from the sky. They were only five in number, with their spread wings as long as ten meters long, and there were sharp barbs on the two eagles' claws.

It seems that Celica was caught by them and then thrown down.

I noticed that the girl in my arms trembled for a moment. After fighting with her, she knew the power of the eagle monster above her head.

Although they do not have too high intelligence and cooperation, the advantage of flying in the sky is enough to make up for this disadvantage.

Celica poked her head out of Natsume's arm and said, looking at the monster above her head.

"They like to catch prey and smash it down, and they won't deal with it immediately. Now you can run away because I led them to..."

"Don't talk."

The eagle monsters hovering around looked at the two dragons below and rushed over without fear.

Natsume raised the sword in the lake, and the Blade of Wind and the barrier immediately blessed the sword blade. Fengliu was affected by it, and the hem of the two men's clothes swelled.

The sword body was shaking, as if he was eager to fight.

Three eagle monsters took the lead first, and the other two followed behind. They did not care about their companions' situation, but rushed down one after another.

Looking at the approaching monster, before Celica called out Bina and let her act, the sword in Natsume Lake drew a semicircular attack trajectory.

The crescent-like wind slash was released from the knife, cut open the space in front of him and fell smoothly on the three eagle monsters in front of him.

After stinging, the attack momentum did not weaken after easily cutting them, and the remaining two were solved together.

After exhaling gently, Natsume let go of Celica.

"It's okay, it's a little trouble for you."

"Thank you, I didn't expect you to be a good person. Celica is very sorry for what happened just now."

"What happened just now?"

Natsume recalled the attack by Bina.

However, the girl in front of me was different, but her face turned red after Natsume's question, and I don't know what she was thinking.

All in all...

Celica bent down and thanked her, and the pterodactyl on her shoulder imitated her movements.

Natsume scratched his head and went over perfunctorily. After seeing Celika raise her head, she asked why Celika was still in the maze area so late.

"It's dangerous to come out so late. Didn't you follow any team?"

"I've been separated before, I want to upgrade quickly."

"for what?"

"No, nothing, this is Celica's own business. Please don't care, then goodbye."

Celica bypassed Natsume and then immediately accelerated.

It's so dangerous, that person is a popular player?! Will he be killed?!

Celica thought that her easy-going behavior just now was the way to make the other party careless and then run away.

But his shoulder was caught again, and the person who had just chased after him.

Natsume caught up with Celica who was running towards another road and grabbed her by the shoulder to stop her.

Seeing Celica turn around with some fear, Natsume remembered her identity.

But he didn't have time to explain, and then he kept Silica behind him and told him

"Don't leave me, do you know? Protect your devil and yourself."

"Yes, why..."

Natsume knew that Celica was like herself, and she stopped talking when she saw the figure in the dark.

So late, there is only one possibility for players hiding in the dark.

Although Celica knew that the person in front of her was also a famous player, she reached out and grabbed his clothes.

This made her feel at ease that only this place was a safe place, so she did not escape, but stayed in place as instructed.

Natsume set up a sword blade and glanced around.

There were about five people, and he couldn't fight well with Celica.

There is only one conclusion drawn.
Chapter completed!
