But on the other hand, his arrogance as a player in the clearing group made it difficult for him to ask for a hug.

【Ah Rui is now a member of KOB, right? Now that he has joined the strategy group, he has to show the courage of the strategy group and act more handsomely! 】

Not long ago, Yuna's words rang in his mind again.

No, as expected, I still can't hug!

……

In the middle of the night, the noisy players in the restaurant had dispersed. Chen Mo paid the bill at the counter, and then slowly left the restaurant with one hand supporting Nautilus, who was in a [paralyzed] state caused by alcoholic drinks.

In front of him, Yuna was leading the way to the hotel that was booked in the afternoon. While walking, she turned her head and looked at Chen Mo who was following behind, with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"Ah Rui, he obviously never drank alcohol before, so he insisted on being brave, and now he has to rely on Mr. Chen Mo to support him when he is drunk. It is really troublesome for you..."

"It's okay, let's take it as exercise after dinner, and I just happen to move my body."

This is not Chen Mo's polite words. Under the simulation of SAO's real-time weather system, the streets at night in the middle of winter are actually quite cold.

After walking along the street for more than ten minutes, Yuna and Chen Mo finally stopped in front of a small hotel that looked quite cozy.

On the second floor of the hotel, put Nautilus gently on the bed, and then carefully covered him with a quilt. Yuna exited the room, closed the door behind her back, and then bowed her head slightly to thank Chen Mo.

"All kinds of things are... for the recent period, thank you so much, Mr. Chen Mo."

"It's just a little effort, it's no big deal."

Waved his hand to show that the other party doesn't need to care, Chen Mo said goodbye: "It's getting late now, Yuna, you should have a good rest, I'll go first."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned around and planned to leave, but a cold little hand held him.

"Um……?"

Looking back at the girl who held him back, Chen Mo was a little surprised and said, "Is there anything else?"

Hearing his questioning voice, Yuna nodded, took off the white hood she had been wearing all the time, and her short dry light brown hair swayed gently in the air.

"Just a little... just for a while, can you spare some time and listen to me say something boring?"

Looking at the girl with pleading eyes for a moment, Chen Mo let go of his left hand on the hilt of his sword, turned around and nodded to her, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I am a first-class audience .”

"Mr. Chen Mo can always say something that makes people feel reliable, but it will be easy to be relied on..."

With a slight smile on her face, Yuna shook the key in her hand, "Let's talk in the room."

In the not-too-large hotel room, there is a clean white single bed in the center, and a low table by the window, which can be used to stack some sundries.

Yuna was sitting on the bed at the moment, her white robe had been taken off, revealing a pink tunic dress, while Chen Mo was leaning against the table with his hands folded on his chest, waiting for her to speak.

"... Mr. Chen Mo, are you afraid of death?"

The girl's questioning voice was a little low.

"It's definitely impossible to say that I'm not afraid, but I can't say how scared I am...Why do you ask?"

"why……"

Holding the bed sheet slightly with both hands, Yuna raised her head and looked at Chen Mo's calm face: "Because I am very scared... afraid of death, especially after being rescued from the dungeon by Mr. As soon as I close my eyes at night, I will start thinking about what it will be like after I die, and then I can’t sleep all night, but I want to ask, why are you so calm when you are fighting, Mr. Chen Mo?”

"..."

Looking at the anxiety that was about to overflow from the girl's eyes, Chen Mo was a little dumbfounded.

Why can he be so calm?

Slaughter monsters expressionlessly in the dungeon, and harvest life coldly and ruthlessly on the modern battlefield.

Are you used to killing too much?

Or is it the change of mood brought about by the profession inherited by the system?

Chen Mo himself couldn't give a definite answer. Before he realized it, he had already swung his sword across the boundless sea of ​​blood.

In the silence, Yuna spoke again, murmuring.

"Mr. Chen Mo is different from you. Ever since I was trapped in this death game, I have been terrified. If I die in the game, my brain will be roasted by the microwave, and I can no longer escape. When I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling of the room. I couldn’t go to and from school with my friends. I didn’t have the chance to do many things I wanted to do. My father would be sad for me too..."

Yuna's voice became smaller and smaller, but suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face.

"However, Ah Rui told me at that time that he would definitely protect me, and then clear the game and bring me back to reality safely... I was really happy to hear him say that, Later, Ah Rui joined KOB and became a member of the strategy team. He put in a lot of hard work for this. Scared."

When she said this, Yuna still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with crystal clear tears.

"Fear of death... is not something to be ashamed of." Facing Yuna who was holding back tears, Chen Mo said seriously, "And you won't die."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I will protect you until the day the game is cleared."

Staring at the anxiety and dependence in the deepest part of the girl's eyes, Chen Mo made a promise.

Not only because the content of the mission is to ask him to protect the other party.

It was even more because he saw the figure of himself from the girl at this time.

Stepping into the dungeon alone with a feeble body, grasping the only reliance that can be relied on - the sword, I don't know where the way forward is, or even if there is a way forward, all I can do is keep on the edge of life and death. While dancing, swiping the sword to kill the monster in front of him, it also cut off all the shrinking and fear in my heart.

When Chen Mo opened his mouth to make a promise, a scent of sunflowers rushed over his face, and then his shoulders sank.
