Pisi the hamster is eating noodles, and has to admit that Nim pays more attention to food matching than Stella, who is doing formal cooking training.

Then I suddenly received a text message from [The Art of Distant Books].

It's Argonaut's message—

"My subcontractor wants to buy your personally identifiable information, even if it's just your name, appearance, and how you met him. He will offer you 15 gold coins. Do you want to bid?"

"This black-hearted intelligence dealer. Does it mean that if I don't hand over more assets than this, I will sell the information I said I didn't want to disclose from the beginning? However, it is not surprising that Kirito wants to investigate me. Sooner or later, he will know, but Let me play for a while."

"I don't have enough cash, can I use real estate as collateral?"

After Pisi the hamster sent the message, the other party quickly replied—

"It's fine if there is a channel for instant currency exchange, but don't forget that owning real estate itself is quite valuable information."

"Tch, I don't believe that you have that kind of free time. Even entrusting the girls who are still staying behind at the lower level is enough for them to toss."

She typed her bottom line and sent it out.

As a result, a lot of repeated confirmation and surprise kaomoji were returned.

Afterwards, Argo also asked by the way—

"Do you know Storea? This person is very powerful, but she is not a human adventurer who is active in this area, nor is she a mercenary. It seems that she has no witness records in the past, and she did not come from the lower levels. She appeared compared to your time. Close, do you know anything?"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with me. That guy is definitely chasing after Kirito who is chasing me... Doesn't it seem to be totally okay? Is indirect chasing also chasing?"

As for Storea, there is this person in the plot information of "Sword Art Online" in Kraunpith's mind, but it is related to the game rather than the original character. Dabbled but not enough for the following conclusions.

Let's combine what we know with the reality here and send some ambiguous information that can increase suspicion—

"That's one of the candidates for the floor guardian of the 100th floor."

She sent such a message.

………………………

At night, Aincrad, the eighty-third floor, Dorba—

The main street on this floor is a city built in a large forest, which resembles a city in the kingdom of fairies.

Even though the base is set here tonight, Kirito feels very nostalgic and happy about it because Niluniel paid for it and lived in the super expensive presidential suite that the students of Academy City don’t plan to live in even if the other houses are full. But now he is fidgeting on the sofa in the living room.

The light of the glass chandelier on the ceiling was adjusted to be a little dim, equivalent to the brightness of a 15-watt incandescent lamp, but for Kirito who gave Niluniel a bite, he felt that the brightness was just right.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres; both Android and Apple are available. 】

But this brightness, coupled with the sound of water splashing in the bathroom next door with a large swimming pool and the laughter of the girls, is really unsettling.

He thought that he should be very used to getting along with girls in various situations. After all, he once lived in the same roof with a lot of girls, but at that time they were divided into floors, so this situation never happened.

"Damn it, why did the 'update' remove the sound insulation effect of the door and wall, that guy Clampis..." Kirito cursed in his heart.

The reason for this is that he and Cureya co-planned an event that made Saiwen and Lingyin closer this afternoon, and at the same time successfully achieved the conditions for obtaining the Water Pendant and the Jade Amulet.

The pendants, talismans and pair of rings custom-made in the church with the most advanced materials are all in a blank state. The blessing ceremony task Sai Wen and Ling Yin received in the church is "a place of memory". The talismans they hold are suitable for recalling family affection Only when the place is activated will it be blessed and become the Jade Amulet.

After achieving this point, even the favorability between the pair of sisters and this side has increased a lot, and he is too embarrassed to hurry up and get the water pendant for the sake of Kurea and Akanari who have a mutual aid relationship. The task is done.

The mission of his and Nilunir's blessing ceremony is "the lake of baptism". Although the operation process is a very formal baptism ceremony, isn't it just to wash each other's bodies in the water? He used to be able to wear a swimsuit when he was in the hot springs, and he thought it would be okay here, but he didn’t expect it to be impossible at all. Seeing that the potential value of the pendants made of hard-earned materials due to illegal operations was getting less and less, he was heartbroken at the time, thinking that he had been with Suguha when he was a child. The feeling of taking a shower hypnotizes myself flushed.

It's just that after Asuna learned about this, she turned into a scumbag expression, and said with a half-smile, "It's okay to tell Lyfa about this".

He recalled that when he baptized Nilunier, the eldest lady not only did not change her face, but also guided him with the gesture that she was very used to serving servants, and was very worried that Nilunier would suddenly ask him to go in now.

Feeling that even if he prevaricates, Qiou will chop him up later, so he can't help thinking that if he finds the sign, he should jump off the building as soon as possible.

Of course, he didn't intend to commit suicide. Using the acquired skills outside the system to fly over the wall and jump to the ground is not a problem.

With this foreshadowing, Kirito could not hold back the sounds of Nilu Nier, Asuna, and Saiwen taking a bath next door, shaking and shaking up and down, like a spring Always ready to catapult up.

"Serge... Baji..."

"Hey!"

"Clatter—"

"Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack..."

"Yeah!"

When Kirito heard this, he felt as if his body was getting an electric shock: "What the **** are they doing in there? It's not just about rubbing each other's backs, swimming, or fighting in water, right?"

"Winter~lightnovelpub.net~Winter Dongdong!"

The door of the room was knocked suddenly from the outside in this situation, which made Kirito almost execute the thought just now and jumped up from the window as high as the fifth floor.

However, since the rhythm was the code rhythm that he had set with "Mouse" not long after SAO became a death game, he opened the door lightly with a reaction comparable to a battle, bowed his head and said, "It's been a long time and you're all right, it's really rare, you He even came to the room to find me."

"It's been a long time. It's great that we are safe. Some things you want to know right away are better told in person." She walked into the room and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing her looking towards the bathroom that was making strange noises, Kirito suppressed his impulse, found a pair of goblets and put them on the table, took out a large kettle and poured two high-end drinks with ice flowers that came with the presidential suite.

By the way, I found a topic that I haven't seen for a long time that is very close to my heart: "The situation of SAO has reached this point, Argo, you are still working as an intelligence dealer. I am somewhat surprised."
