What are you talking about?!

Putting his hand on the hilt of the sword, Natsume saw the girl who looked at him with complaints, surprise and anger on his face.

Asuna wanted to excuse herself, Natsume saw it very clearly. She took a step forward for explanation, but the first move was to act more than Asuna's actions were the two young men behind Hitzcliff.

Natsume estimated that they would stand here, and they must be cadres of the Blood Alliance Knights.

A black-haired young man took out his sword and even though he knew that he could not hurt the player in the circle, he still held it tightly in his hand.

"We thought it was very strange to recommend you as a red player before. You must have deceived Asuna, you are so rude to the leader!"

"Do you want to be killed? From now on, you will not be able to stay in the hunting area for a minute!"

The other person also walked up, and the two threw together at Natsume's sight that was enough to pierce the body.

However, SAO does not have such judgment and skills, and it seems that their stares are just futile.

Seeing the two of them rushing over, Natsume moved sideways to the left and hid behind Asuna.

Seeing Natsume's actions, Asuna blushed and continued to take a step forward with some embarrassment.

Before that, Asuna whispered to Natsume.

"Idiot, what I meant was not hiding behind me at this time!"

Retracting his gaze on Natsume, Asuna looked at the three people in front of her.

She first explained to Hitzcliff.

"That, the leader. Actually, this guy is not like this. He drank too much today. So he likes to talk nonsense."

"Mr. Asuna, do you still want to shelter that rude person?"

"Yes, for such players, as long as we increase the bounty, we will be solved by other advanced players in the strategy group soon."

No, that's not the case.

Asuna found her explanation futile due to Natsume's previous actions.

Sudden.

Enough.

Hitzcliff's voice sounded, and he sat in his seat and clapped his hands. He looked at Natsume, who was hiding behind Asuna, with half of his face exposed.

"These are all young people nowadays. Should they be said to be skilled and brave? Natsume, as long as you complete our commission, it doesn't matter if you accept your proposal. Let's have a discussion next time."

"Captain..."

He continued to say, lifting his left hand to block the other two

"You guys go out for the time being. I want to say a few words to the deputy commander and this gentleman."

Because it was the order of the group leader, they nodded and walked towards the door without refusing their rights.

When they passed by Natsume on the way, the two of them glared at him together, but Natsume met with a refreshing smile.

Seeing the two left, Hitzcliff stood up from his position.

Looking at him standing up, Natsume found that there was a gap between himself and his height.

It would be fine if it was the original body. But if it was the current body, the height gap would shorten your attack range. Once Hitzcliff duel, this would definitely become a difficult factor.

The taller the body, the longer the general arms will be. The longer arms will expand the attack range and increase centrifugal force, and the slashes will be much stronger.

Then, Natsume has only one advantage, that is, its highest agility.

In this way, no matter what kind of attack track is, you can judge it and dodge it in advance.

However, for me now, that kind of fighting method may not last for a minute.

Hitzcliff is very strong, and there is no doubt that even if he cancels the invincible state, he can easily defeat SAO players.

Standing behind Asuna, Natsume stared at Hitzcliff's every move.

"The reason we want to entrust Red Name Players is because this operation is a bit dangerous, and it is impossible for ordinary people to wield their swords under that situation."

"That kind of danger is just killing people. But is it really good?"

Natsume escaped from Asuna's back.

"The top SAO guild entrusts murderous players to do things. Are you afraid of being disgusted by other guilds and players? In that case, the glory that has finally been won will be..."

“No need to worry.”

Hitzcliff interrupted Natsume's words and showed a very kind smile.

"No guild would object to this practice. I had handled everything before I acted, so you can let go of it."

"Are you referring to murder?"

"I didn't say that, I just hope you can complete it smoothly. The money can be negotiated. If it is done well, it will double it. How about it?"

"Of course there is no problem."

If you double it, you will get one million kall and you will be able to buy a luxurious single apartment.

"Captain."

Asuna intervened in the conversation between the two.

She looked at Natsume and then at Hitzcliff.

"Other guilds will do the investigation of [Smile Coffin]. Can't they be allowed to join? Let Natsume act with those people."

Asuna was worried about Natsume's safety alone.

Going to investigate the base or leader of the Killing Guild alone is a completely risky action.

In SAO, no one will easily kill others except for the killer players, and those red-known players seize this weakness and fight back.

Many people are bound by the fear of "killing people" and cannot kill the enemy.

But that is the most normal situation. Natsume knew very well that his indifferent murderous actions were actually heresy in this world and that world.

"Deputy Leader Asuna, if you are a normal player, will you join the Red Name player back to back in the wild?"

“…If it’s Natsume.”

This sentence made Hizcliff narrow his eyes.

"Then you want to act with Lord Natsume."

"Yes."

"What should I do with the strategy team? I've been a little busy recently and I have to deal with the incidents caused by the members."

"this……"

Natsume waved his hand, and he pointed at Asuna and said

"Stop kidding, Hizcliff, if you sent Asuna, I wouldn't have gone."

It is more dangerous to contact with a murderer than to contact with a boss. At least the BOSS will not set traps, send undercover agents, be bribed by the enemy, or the like.

oh?

Perhaps because he was interesting to Natsume's words, Hitzcliff threw the information in his hand to Natsume.

"That is the information collected by many guild members recently, some people risked their lives to collect. They just couldn't get close to the detailed investigation, so I'll leave it to you."

"yes."
