Survival: King Picking Game

In other words, it completely replaced Kirito's position as the "sealer".

It is completely different from the image of the "Sparkling Sword" that would have joined the [Blood Knights].

Li Pingan decided to raise Asuna as an image representing solo players.

If we talk about the corresponding player power, it is probably the "free player" where Li Pingan is.

"Although I will watch from the side, if you want to face the pressure of a BOSS alone, Miss Asuna, your current combat power is still a little short."

"However, this is not irreparable, as long as you master certain skills, you can easily do it."

"How about it?"

"...I... can't do it." Asuna was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice.

……

Chapter 108 "Hope", True or False T

Although Li Pingan was full of expectations... However, although he was a little disappointed in Asuna's rejection, it was not unexpected.

But he was thinking about the next conversation, so he didn't continue talking.

long silence.

"...Actually, I can't even encourage myself to live a good life..." Asuna smiled wryly, and continued, "Not to mention, becoming the spiritual idol of some SAO player."

"The spirit is fragile, the will is not firm, and I have thought of suicide several times. I am so useless, how can I become the representative of some players?" The girl almost gave up on herself, and poured out all the words in her heart to Li Pingan .

Asuna was well aware of her weakness at this moment.So, feel ashamed of it.

This kind of shame is not only for this kind of weakness, but also for the self that is powerless to resist even though it knows it.

——"So, I'm sorry." The girl clutched the corner of her hood, said in a low voice with a trembling voice, and rejected Li Pingan's proposal.

Whatever it is.

My greatest expectation is to survive this SAO game——

Of course, things will not develop as Ms. Asuna "expected".

Li Pingan thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and took off Asuna's hood.

"Ah—?!" The girl exclaimed in a low voice.

——The long chestnut hair that was tied up fluttered in the wind.

And under the long chestnut hair, there is the little oval face and the big hazel pupils that emit a dazzling light.Below the small and straight bridge of the nose, cherry blossom lips added a bit of elegance to her beauty.

Although, probably because his spirit was always in a state of high tension, his face looked a little pale and tired, but it didn't affect the girl's beauty in the slightest.

"...you...what are you doing?!" Although she couldn't feel hostile to Li Pingan or make violent actions that would cause real harm, Asuna still glared at him angrily after she realized it.

However, under the gaze of the girl who seemed to be killing someone, Li Pingan seemed not to care, and said naturally.

"Since in the future, if you want to become the representative of free players and the spiritual idol of SAO players... you can't hide your head and show your tail, right? From now on, it's better to take off your hood... Your beauty is also very good in infecting others. A powerful weapon."

It seemed that Asuna blushed slightly when she heard Li Pingan's words that seemed to be praising her... However, she quickly realized the meaning of Li Pingan's words.

"...I should obviously refuse it very clearly." The girl frowned, and said with some displeasure, "I can't become some kind of spiritual idol... I don't have this ability at all."

"Whether you have the ability or not is not up to you." Li Pingan replied very simply.

"...But," the anger on Asuna's face became more obvious, "I can't even do myself well?! How can I..."

"It doesn't matter." Li Pingan interrupted Asuna's words, "If you can't do it yourself, it doesn't mean you can't let others do it... just pretend and act for those idiots."

"..." Miss Asuna put on a contemptuous look and looked at Li Pingan contemptuously.

Of course, with a person's thickness of skin, he can completely ignore it.

Li Pingan coughed lightly and said indifferently.

"People who are in trouble need hope—but this 'hope' never needs to be authentic. Just make them feel real and make them believe."

"The next thing, we don't even need to worry about it. They will complete it in their hearts... They will find reasons for believing and defending for the 'hope' they have identified."

"Very convenient, Miss Asuna." Finally, Li Pingan spread his hands with a smile, "Very easy.

He continued emphatically.

"...you just have to pretend to be a 'people's hope.' Pretend to be what they need to see."

"People believe what they want to believe—even if it's not necessarily 'true.'"

"..." Asuna was silent for a while, then sighed, and admitted with some reluctance, "Maybe you're right."

Then, she asked another question.

"...However, what I want to know is...Why me? Why would you let me do this kind of thing?"

Why did you let Asuna take on this role as planned?

It must be because you are the heroine of this world!

I'm sure you'll be fine!

...Of course, such an answer seems too unconvincing.

So……
