My younger siblings are so cute

From Shota's point of view, Heathcliff should be a generous elder.Because whenever he is complaining about the unreal or poor performance of this game, most people will quickly get bored. He is too nagging. Heathcliff is different. He listens very much. Seriously, and will give some of his own opinions, and occasionally refute it.This makes it rare for Shota to have a feeling of meeting a confidant.

Later, whenever he met Heathcliff, he would continue the topic of the last time.However, at that time he thought Heathcliff was just a very ordinary player.But once when he joined forces in a BOSS battle, he discovered that the middle-aged man in front of him was actually a very strong sword and shield warrior.

At least, Shota felt that his indifferent face when facing an attack was something many sword and shield fighters would never possess.

"I always think." Shota looked at the rough food on the table and said to Heathcliff, "That guy called Kayaba must know more about life than you."

"how you said that?"

"Look." Shota pointed to the food on the table, and said: "The food is so unpalatable, and I recently discovered that the food made with chef skills, including the methods and finished products, are exactly the same as those on Wikipedia. You said, he has never eaten good things and cooked his own food."

"It still makes sense." Heathcliff nodded, agreeing with Shota's statement, and then asked strangely: "How do you know the same as Wikipedia?"

"Ha." Shota raised his fingers mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Because I edited a lot of it myself."

"..."

Heathcliff was silent, and it took a long time to react, and exclaimed: "You deserve to be a man who is an ideal super chef."

"Haha, don't mention that shameful ideal."

Shota put a smile on her face, and then said to Heathcliff, "I thought about the thing I said before, and let's forget it."

"Hmm... As expected, the timing is still short."

Heathcliff just felt a pity, shook his head, and said, "But it doesn't matter, I already know your choice."

The Knights of the Blood Alliance, a new guild, the leader is Heathcliff who is recognized as the strongest shield, and the deputy leader is Asuna, the Shining Rapier. In addition, there are 8 members, and they Without exception, they are all good players in the Raiders team.Although the scale is still small, from the perspective of the future, it will definitely become stronger.

Heathcliff also handed out an olive branch to Shota, hoping that he and his friends could join his guild, but Shota refused his invitation after considering it for a while.

"Sho, do you want to start a guild by yourself?"

"I didn't plan to do this. We only had 4 people in total, which didn't meet the minimum requirements. Moreover, we didn't want to add people casually." Shota explained, "I just think it's pretty good for four people to level up at this level. Except for BOSS, basically nothing. Need additional support."

"That's it."

Heathcliff nodded and said, "However, I think I will join us someday."

"Huh? Why are you so sure?"

"Hmm... because our deputy head is a big beauty? Oh, this doesn't seem to appeal to Shota who is in the flowers."

"Heathcliff, you learned to joke."

"I learned a little bit from you."

It’s no wonder that Xiang was too surprised. In the eyes of outsiders, including Asuna, the deputy head of the blood alliance, his head is a meticulous man who always looks at the world with deep eyes, a little bit insensitive to human fireworks. feel.

"That's right." Heathcliff suddenly thought of something and said to Shota: "I remember, you complained about weapons last time, right?"

"Ah, do you mean the setting that the pitted durability disappears items will disappear?"

"It's not this. It's about yourself."

"Oh. You mean I complained last time why I couldn't get more skills like physical skills?"

In fact, there are physical skills in SAO, but they are all non-aggressive functional skills, and few.

"Yes, that's it. In fact, I went to the 20th floor just now..." Heathcliff shook Shota's appetite, and said, "I accidentally found a very interesting NPC. He asked me, dare you not use weapons? Challenge him..."

"Hidden mission?"

Shota became interested.

"It's hard to say." Heathcliff shook his head and said, "Maybe, it's not just a hidden mission. Of course, I rejected this mission. After all, without the shield, I am not a strong player. Listen. The tone of the mission NPC seems to have a lot of follow-up appearances after hitting him."

"Where is that NPC?"

"After I refused, he disappeared."

Heathcliff took out the map, drew a range, and said, "However, according to my guess, he should randomly appear in this range."

"This is really a task I look forward to."

There was a warlike emotion in Shota's eyes, and said, "I always feel that if I can finish this task, I can get something that makes me very satisfied."

"Haha, if you are lucky, you might get special skills or unique skills..."

Heathcliff said casually like a joke.

"I don't expect this." Shota shook his head, and said, "The so-called special skills and unique skills are just the speculation of intelligence dealers. At least so far, I haven't heard any meaningful information in this regard. But. I think I might learn a good physical skill."

"But thank you, Heathcliff."

Shota looked at the time and found that it was too early, so it's better to go to the mission location by herself, so he said to Heathcliff, "If there is anything that can be done, just order it."

"Yeah. I will."

For the convenience of future communication, Shota and Heathcliff exchanged good friends, and after saying goodbye, Shota left the tavern first, and after speaking to Kirino and others, he walked towards the 20th floor alone.

After Shota was gone, Heathcliff took a fork to pick up a piece of meat on the table, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then muttered to himself, "Is it really unpalatable?"

"However, the world will always become more real and more colorful."

"I look forward to you getting the skills I designed for you..."

Chapter 17 Silica

"I will never team up with you anymore!"

The girl with a loli figure angrily left the team, holding a small ice-blue dragon-like pet, turning her head and walking towards the forest alone.

"Huh—"

The hugged pet made a cry, trying to comfort its owner.

"With Bina, I am not alone."

Feeling the kindness from her pet, the girl nodded, speeding up the pace on her feet.

The thirty-fifth layer of the mysterious forest is a dangerous place for ordinary players, but the girl's level has already reached forty-four.Generally speaking, most players will choose places where they are ten levels lower than their own level as the place to level up.That is the safe area that players have summed up for more than a year.As long as they are not besieged by hordes of monsters, there is no danger of life.

but……

"Boom—"

"Yeah!"
