need practice for forestcovered pls halp

[avantguard]

Hmmmmmm, if it's for fun I don't understand why you need to practice. Nobody is forcing you to do it and your life isn't at stake. It can't be done professionally for money either like some of those other VRMMO's.

But... I can understand the desire to do the best you can for people you like.

Keep working hard, mun-neesan──

- Ah!? Usually I'm the older one!

[with a laugh, she pats his shoulder]

It's fine, isn't it? We share our inventory anyway.

[solokun]

Which means I should get most of the profit.

[avantguard]

You'd get all the profit, Kirito-kun.

[raps her knuckles on his head gently]

[solokun]

[And he doesn't even notice since he's stroking his chin and deep in thought, talking out loud to himself as well.]

Meaning I could buy more ingredients...

[avantguard]

[presses a hand to her face]

We have plenty.

[solokun]

There is never enough, Asuna! What happens if suddenly all the monsters stop dropping ingredients? And the rest get bought out of the marketplace before we even get there!

How will you cook!?

[avantguard]

E... Eeeeeh? That's the sort of thing you think about?! More importantly, how would we survive?!

[even if it's impossible to die from starvation the SENSATION IS STILL UNCOMFORTABLE

she hums in thought]

I-I guess I would have to use the drops from plants to make something similar to the sauces I made. They wouldn't be very filling though.

[solokun]

[He just presses a hand to his stomach and looks so damn depressed.]

No more sandwiches...

[avantguard]

Kirito-kun...

[over sandwiches but still she doesn't want to see him make that face]

Th-Then before that happens, I'll make you all the sandwiches you want. Okay?

[solokun]

[That perks him up a bit, enough to smile at her and reach to squeeze her hand tenderly, pulling her close enough that their faces are only centimeters apart. Uwaaaah, tender moment!]

Asuna... nobody could ever ask for a better chef.

[avantguard]

[UWAH HUSBANDO

she's blushing but reaching up to cup his cheeks anyway]

Let's see. I'm going to translate that as... 'I have the best wife'. Right?

[solokun]

... Isn't that what I said?

[avantguard]

[she's laughing

maybe it really is her unique skill]

In that case, what should my payment be this time?

[solokun]

[Now that he's not thinking about food, he realizes how close his face is to hers and quickly looks away while scratching his cheek.]

W-Well, that would be up to you, I guess. What's your price?

[avantguard]

[his embarrassment rubs off on her and she looks away too]

Well, um, on second thought there's no point to it, right? We share inventory.

[she wanted a kiss :c]

[solokun]

[Too bad he's not a mindreader.]

R-Right. Inventory shared. All loot goes to the Kirito and Asuna survival fund.

[avantguard]

[asuna is tho

but that look is definitely not satisfied despite her nod]

Mh. And the sandwich preservation.

[she smiles wryly]

[solokun]

[Oh, alright, dammit. It's not like he's dense and doesn't realize what she wants. It's just that they're in public! Anybody can see!

So... have a quick cheek kiss right before he pulls away and laughs nervously.]

Hah hah, I'm glad my mun dropped me in here and we had this serious conversation.

[About sandwiches.]

[avantguard]

[ok thank you she feels a little better even if she's blushing

they're busy making out in other places anyway prob]

... Serious conversation?

[that takes her a second

she smiles and reaches for his hand]

I'm glad to see you too, Kirito-kun.

[solokun]

[Probably. Definitely.

He just smiles as she takes his hand and nods.]

Mh, thanks. I'm not used to hearing that, heh.

[avantguard]

[NO THAT'S SAD]

...That's probably because Kirito-kun is unintentionally rude to everyone he meets.

[solokun]

Keyword is "unintentionally."

[It's not on purpose.

... Not always.]

[avantguard]

[nervous laughter

and then she sighs softly]

But we've known each other for so long that I know it's unintentional.

Even so, I think there are times when you do it on purpose too.

[solokun]

... Eh, sometimes it's just easier for me to do.

[avantguard]

Eh? Easier to be rude?!
