The fact that the name of one of the flower of strategy of the Knights of the Blood Oath had turned orange was quite sensational.
However, when people learned the reason was because she had killed two people from Laughing Coffin, most said it was well-deserved. Among them, one person even jumped out and shouted loudly in support of Kaede.
This person was the one Kaede had helped before.
Of course, not everyone could accept it; there was also a portion opposing this kind of thing, but because their influence was too small, it didn't spread.
However, even if it had spread, none of this was Kaede's business, and she wouldn't care what her reputation was.
Kaede was currently in her home on the 22nd floor, lying on the bed, looking forward to her sister's meal~
"Kaede, it's time to eat!" Asuna, dressed in home clothes, looked at the food laid out on the table with satisfaction and called out.
"Coming, coming!"
Hearing that it was time to eat, Kaede's eyes lit up, and she exerted all her strength. The wind caused by her speed almost blew the food off the table.
Asuna only felt a flash before her eyes, and then she saw Kaede sitting there obediently, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at her.
"You~" Asuna tapped Kaede's head with amusement.
"Hehe~" Kaede touched her head and giggled.
"Eat!" Knowing that Kaede couldn't wait long in front of food, Asuna said.
"Um..." Kaede held back her stomach, which was protesting because she hadn't started eating yet.
"What's wrong?" Asuna was a bit puzzled. Usually, when she said that, Kaede would have already started devouring the food like autumn leaves swept by the wind. What was wrong now?
"Mm~" Kaede got up, pulled Asuna into her seat, and said: "Sister, let's eat together." As she spoke, she stared at Asuna with expectant eyes.
"Pfft~" Asuna almost laughed out loud. Why didn't she eat? Don't look at how much she made; actually, it wasn't enough for Kaede to eat alone. But since Kaede said so, Asuna also felt her heart warm. Her little Kaede was also changing slowly.
"Okay!"
"Mm-hmm, let's eat!" Kaede nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and this time, she finally couldn't help but start devouring the food. Her speed would definitely make anyone amazed; was this amount of food even human?
Asuna, sitting next to Kaede, just watched her, resting her chin on her hands, watching Kaede eat there.
Suddenly, Asuna felt that this kind of life was really good. If it were the same in reality, how wonderful it would be~
No, even if it wasn't reality now, she could still feel this beauty.
At this moment, Asuna finally fully understood Kirito's words. Even if this world was fake, this emotion, this touching feeling, was definitely not fake.
Finally, Kaede noticed that Asuna still hadn't picked up her chopsticks.
"Sister, eat!"
Finally, Kaede rarely put down her chopsticks, saw the food she had eaten more than half of, and smiled embarrassedly.
"You eat, don't worry about sister." Asuna looked at Kaede with gentle eyes.
"Mm~" Kaede shook her head, "Sister eat too." As she said that, Kaede picked up a lot of food and put it in Asuna's bowl.
"Sigh, okay, okay, sister will pick it herself~" A smile appeared on the corner of Asuna's mouth, and she also picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
"Mm." Kaede looked at her sister, then picked up her chopsticks again, but this time she slowed down quite a bit.
Hmm, this was really a bit difficult for Kaede. After all, for Kaede, not being allowed to eat could be considered a very serious punishment, but since she was happy, that was fine.
"Right, sister, there really are ghosts~" Suddenly, Kaede said.
"Hmm? Mm." Asuna didn't react and nodded, then suddenly widened her eyes, staring at Kaede.
"You... you you you, what are you saying! Ghosts, how could there be such a thing as ghosts?" Asuna said, stuttering.
"Eh? But that phantom that one time, and I heard that fishing uncle say he saw a ghost in the forest over there." Kaede tilted her head, looking at the frightened Asuna. It was the first time she had seen her sister like this~
It felt... this kind of sister was also very beautiful.
"Impossible, this is just a game. At most, ghost-type monsters appear; there's no such thing as ghosts!"
"But, the uncle said there was a white figure over there."
"That definitely wasn't a ghost!" Asuna stood up, hands on her hips, glaring at Kaede.
"Eh, alright." Kaede wilted immediately.
Recently, their life had been quite comfortable. Asuna seemed to feel that Kaede wasn't interested in clearing bosses, and didn't want to clear them, so she hadn't been as actively participating in clearing as before.
Now, they would put some energy into life aspects. Sometimes they would go practice leveling, and if they discovered a boss, they would also participate in the war to clear the boss.
"Yo! The sisters are out strolling again~"
When Kaede and Asuna were strolling after dinner, an uncle sitting by the pond greeted Asuna and Kaede.
"Uncle!" At this time, Asuna shouted with some dissatisfaction.
"Eh? What's wrong?" This person had no feeling about them calling him uncle, because his age was at the level of their uncle. At this time, the uncle rubbed his head, a bit confused as to why Asuna was angry.
"Don't teach Kaede bad things, okay! How could there be ghosts in this world!" Asuna glared at the uncle.
"Er, is that what you're talking about? But it really looked a bit like one, a white dress, and it seemed to be floating..." The uncle was a bit embarrassed. How did he teach Kaede bad things? He also quite liked this slightly silly girl.
"Impossible!" Asuna said directly.
"Uncle, sister is afraid of ghosts." At this time, Kaede suddenly interjected.
"Oh~~" The uncle realized it then.
"Kaede!!" Asuna's face turned red, and then she was about to pounce.
"Sister~" Kaede laughed and dodged Asuna's pounce.
"You stop right there!" Asuna looked at the fleeing Kaede and couldn't help but chase after her.
"Sister, come and chase me~" Kaede laughed and ran into the forest.
"These sisters." The uncle looked at their backs and shook his head. He also knew they were the legendary flower of strategy, but in his eyes, they were just two little girls who didn't know much yet, especially that Kaede. The uncle said that he could occasionally see the image of his own daughter, who was a few years old, in Kaede.
"This game, though, it's not bad." The uncle could also see that this pair of sisters had completely integrated into this game and knew how to live. This was already considered quite good.
The uncle said that some of his friends couldn't necessarily accept this world, and some extreme ones even committed suicide, not as open-minded as the two little girls.
"Being young, it's really good~"
The uncle sighed and continued fishing. Was it a willing fish biting the hook, or was his intent not on the fish?
Finally, Kaede was caught by Asuna.
As for the reason~ Asuna just said, "If you don't stop, I won't talk to you anymore."
Then Kaede obediently offered her ears.
However, the waiting Kaede didn't feel the touch of Asuna's hand. She looked at Asuna with some confusion, and finally saw Asuna covering her mouth, looking in one direction.
"Eh?" Kaede blinked and looked over there, only to see a white figure falling down.
"Ghost?"
"Ghost!!"
