"Well, it tastes pretty good. It looks very appetizing."

He just pulled it casually, swallowed the spicy meat from a chicken leg, and answered with a satisfied look on his face.

"..."

The two of them walked around the various commercial streets with all the necessary food, drinks and supplies. Although Kirito had been here several times, he was still attracted by the atmosphere here, while Asuna was

I was instantly immersed in it and completely forgot my destination.

"Hi! I'm here again."

"..."

The grocery store owner Agil or the two-handed ax warrior looked at Kirito speechlessly.

"What, it's you."

Agil saw Kirito blinking and understood immediately, politely persuaded the customers in the store to leave, and called up the management menu to close the store.

"Hey, you and Ling Xiao have been coming to my store again and again. Although I can understand why you have something to do, it still prevents me from making a lot of money. Ahem..."

Agil originally wanted to say something to make Kirito feel guilty in order to raise the stakes, but when he saw the figure behind Kirito, he couldn't help coughing.

"Long time no see, Mr. Agil, I'm really sorry to ask you this time, but we don't have anyone else we can count on for the time being, so please..."

"Leave it to me!"

Uncharacteristically, Agil patted his chest and changed his face to a reliable expression, and the profiteer's lips were wiped away.

"...Hey, that's not what you said just now!"

Kirito couldn't help lowering his head and whispered bb.

After some words...

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Are you sure it's not a normal duel?"

Agil looked at the solemn expressions of the two people with a surprised look on his face.

"Well, it's neither [Complete Victory Mode] nor [Sleep PK], the method is a bit weird!"

Agil shook his head, feeling that things were a bit complicated.

"This rope is something found in NPC shops. It is very common and its durability is not much. And this thorn-like sword-shaped weapon or murder weapon with barbs is undoubtedly made by the player!"

Agil said in a deep voice, he was a little surprised when faced with the facts.

"The maker is a guy named Grimrock, but he doesn't seem to be a first-class craftsman with this kind of craftsmanship. I've never heard of this guy."

"Well, now that we know the guy who made the weapons, we should be able to follow the clues and find his traces in the middle level."

Agil looked at the two of them thoughtfully and said slowly.

"Well, that's true, and the clues have been found."

Kirito nodded.

Agil suddenly stared at the two of them with a special look on his face.

"That guy Ling Xiao should already know it. After all, he has the skill of appraisal. How come you two got together?"

"Well, I occasionally get together with other people, it's normal."

Kirito felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly explained.

"Hmph, someone only forms a team together for boss battles..."

Asuna hummed in a voice that both of them could hear.

"Cough...cough..."

"Well, but having said that, although the swordsmith has been found, he was not the one who killed the person, but the famous player who bought the sword from him. If that guy [Grimulok]

It's a murderer, that's an insult to people's intelligence."
