Chapter 4 The Best Gratitude Is Companionship

Looking at Maple with a happy face.

Kiritani Kazuto deliberately joked with her: "Oh... just thank Mr. Rabbit, don't you need to thank me?"

Brother Kirito?

Hearing Kiritani Kazuto say this, Maple became anxious on the spot: "Of course I am grateful to Kirito-nii. I just feel that I cannot simply use the word 'thank you' to express my gratitude!"

Kiritani Kazuto was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Then how are you going to thank me?"

How to thank?

Maple was also stunned.

Yes!

What can I do to thank Brother Kirito?

Protect him?

Wouldn't it be too presumptuous to say so?

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, Brother Kirito has a greater chance of protecting him. The situation of protecting him by himself will never happen!

Unexpected way to thank Kiritani Kazuto made Maple burst into tears.

Kiritani Kazuto hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Oh, Maple, why are you still crying! I just teased you! I don't need you to do anything for me at all. If you have to say it, for me, the most important thing is A good thank you should be for accompanying me!"

Companionship?

Maple looked at Kiritani Kazuto in confusion: "Brother Kirito, do you want me to stay with you all the time?"

"of course!!"

Kiritani Kazuto reached out and touched Maple's head, and said with a smile: "If I had a lovely sister like you by my side, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams!"

cute?

I?

Maple blushed instantly when she showed her face.

Maybe it was because it was too hot, there was even steam coming out of her head.

Without paying attention to Maple's state, Kiritani Kazuto continued: "Okay, let's learn the next skill! Um... Maple, what's wrong with you! Ah, I seem to have lost consciousness!"

Kiritani Kazuto looked at Maple with a worried look.

Although this guy had his eyes open, his consciousness was not online, and he didn't respond no matter how he greeted him.

Think about it.

Kiritani Kazuto decided to take her back to Novice Village to rest.

Picking up Maple in a princess hug, Kiritani and Kazuto walked towards Novice Village.

After taking a few steps, Maple woke up. When she found that she was actually being held in Kiritani Kazuto's arms, she immediately lost consciousness again, leaving Kiritani Kazuto dumbfounded.

Return to Novice Village.

The players have occupied all the resting places in the village.

Kiritani Kazuto hesitated for a while and took Maple to the hotel in Novice Village.

The first day of service.

There are not many players who can afford to stay in hotels.

In the envious eyes of a lot of players, Kiritani Kazuto opened two single rooms.

Go into the guest room.

Place Maple on the bed.

Kiritani Kazuto turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly found Maple's hand holding his sleeve tightly.

Kiritani Kazuto tried to pull his sleeve out of Maple's hand.

did not expect.

Maple held on tightly.

Kiritani Kazuto tried several times but failed.

"You hold it so tightly. Are you afraid that I will run away?"

After reaching out and scratching Maple's nose, Kiritani Kazuto simply sat on the floor beside the bed and made do with it for the night.

early morning.

Kiritani Kazuto woke up from his deep sleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Maple sitting on the floor opposite, staring at his face.

"morning....."

Kiritani Kazuto hasn't finished speaking yet.

Without any warning, Maple jumped up and said, "Brother Kirito, I'm very sorry for last night. I have to kill or dismember you as you please. I just want you to leave a whole body for me!"

Hahaha!

Kiritani Kazuto was amused and laughed: "Get up, I forgive you!"

Maple blushed and raised her head cautiously: "Brother Kirito, have you really forgiven me?"

Kiritani Kazuto nodded: "I have a cute sister, and it's fun to act coquettishly occasionally. Get up! Let's go have breakfast first. After that, you still have a few skills to acquire!"

Acting like a spoiled child?

Maple stood up from the floor with a red face.

The two came to the restaurant on the first floor. Looking at Maple's slightly red knees, many players showed lewd smiles.

Kiritani Kazuto was too lazy to pay attention to these people.

He pulled Maple and sat down at an empty table.

The two just sat down.

A woman dressed very coquettishly came over immediately: "Hey, handsome boy, don't treat girls as treasures. Sister has a lot of tricks. Please treat me to a meal. Sister will let you experience the joy of being an adult!"

"roll!"

Unexpectedly, Kiritani Kazuto would suddenly shout angrily.

Not only was the coquettish woman who showed up uninvited frightened, but Maple, who was sitting next to Kiritani Kazuto, was also frightened.

Gently holding Maple's hand, Kiritani Kazuto smiled and said to her: "What are you afraid of? I didn't tell you!" Turning to the coquettish woman on the other side, Kiritani Kazuto said unceremoniously: " Didn't you hear? I told you to get out!"

"you..."

The coquettish woman glared at Kiritani Kazuto, bit her lip and left angrily!

Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Maple said with lingering fear: "Brother Kirito, you looked so angry just now!"

Kiritani Kazuto shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I will never lose my temper with you!"

The corners of Maple's mouth quickly rose.

Although she tried her best to hide it, she still couldn't hide the smile on her face.

finish breakfast.

Kiritani Kazuto took Maple to the outside of the village.

"Maple, the skill we are acquiring now is called "Perception". Its effect is to sense nearby enemies and their attack methods. This skill can play a key role in PK. The method to acquire it is to dodge 100 times in a row. Monster attack."

What?

Dodge 100 monster attacks in a row?

Maple shook her head hastily: "Brother Kirito, my motor nerves are very poor. Let alone dodge monster attacks 100 times, I can't even dodge 10 times!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Kiritani Kazuto explained patiently: "I will tell you how to avoid it, you just need to do what I say!"

this...

Maple bit her lip and hesitated for two seconds before nodding in agreement.

"Okay! I will do as you say. However, if you do this, you won't be able to obtain the skills. Kirito-nii, don't blame me for being useless!"

Looking at Maple who was not confident, Kiritani Kazuto said confidently: "Don't worry! As long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you will successfully acquire the "Perception" skill!"

Maple didn't respond.

Obviously he still doesn't have enough confidence in himself.

Dodge begins.

Maple attracts a one-horned rabbit to attack her.

Kiritani Kazuto gave simple avoidance instructions based on [hidden information].

Hide to the left.

Hide to the right.

Squat down.

Jump up.

....

start.

The two of them were not yet skilled in cooperating, or they did not have enough trust. When Kiritani Kazuto gave instructions, Maple had to use her head to convey them to her body.

This wastes a lot of time.

With practice.

Maple gradually got used to Kiritani Kazuto's instructions.

Able to make his body react to his commands like a conditioned reflex.

He successfully achieved the condition of evading 100 monster attacks and obtained the "Perception" skill. Of course, her ability to successfully acquire skills was inseparable from Maple's own trust in Kiritani Kazuto.

Otherwise, no matter how much you practice, it will be useless.
