Chapter 127: Asuna's mood

Chapter 127-Asuna's Feeling
Asuna has been fighting since she remembered.
From the beginning of the kindergarten entrance examination, she has to cross the trials that befall her, and she must all win. As long as she fails once, she is a useless human being. She has been carrying this heavy struggle for 15 years.
She had been educated by elites since she was a child, and she never had any doubts about this. Mechanically execute the instructions of the parents, fulfill the parents' requirements well, and fully respond to the expectations of the parents. In fifteen years, I have never failed once.
But now, it just moved the battlefield to a virtual world called'Aincrad'. Although it has extremely heterogeneous and unknown rules and culture, it is impossible to win by yourself alone. The presence.
Asuna wondered for a long time, what would happen if she were alone?
Waiting alone for rescue?
Or does it burn like a meteor and finally fall?
Or is it as described in the animation?
Now she has no way of knowing.
However, Asuna had thought about this question repeatedly. At most, I have only been in contact with free games on mobile phones. Why does it happen on a whim? Why can't I feel satisfied just touching NERvGear. Why would you pick up a hard helmet and put it on and shout out the connection instructions?
Occasionally, with such remorse, I enter the nightmare of shallow sleep. In the dream, the classmates who couldn't see their faces laughed at the fact that in the third-year winter of junior high school, facing the important juncture of the entrance exam because of this kind of thing. I also sympathize with my relatives who may continue to lose in the next countless competitions. And, the parents who continue to look down at themselves and can't see their expressions...
Every time she dreamed of such a scene, Asuna would wake up breathlessly. Is this really good? Already one step behind.
More than a month has passed, and the entrance examination should have begun. Asuna looked at the dazzling starry sky from the window of the tree house, even if the scene was so beautiful, it was still just false.
There are indeed many incredible people gathered in the chat room, and it is all thanks to them to be able to sit here so easily. But what does the achievements of others have to do with yourself?
magic? miracle? Unknown knowledge? Different world? monster? Monster? myth?
Even if all of these existed, he couldn't change the fact that he was still just an ordinary person. After being liberated from this world, what he faces is still the life that his parents have planned for a long time, and he can only step forward on his feet.
But this time, she felt unwilling and resisting. I don't want to live a life of being manipulated like a puppet. Of the parents' painstaking efforts, Asuna certainly has the ability to understand that she hopes that her children will have higher achievements in the future, which is the expectation of every parent. And my parents who are in the upper class firmly believe that ‘only according to their own plan is the best’.
But where is your way forward? Asuna didn't know. Seeing the figures of Bai, Ye You and Black Cat who can work hard for the things they like, Asuna really envied them. Since meeting them, Asuna has always been alone in troubles on such a quiet night.
She didn’t want to continue accepting the life that her parents had already laid out. Asuna, who was touched by the people in the chat room, wanted to walk a new path with her own will. The girl had such an idea—but what should she do? Where is the direction going?
Asuna became seriously confused.
"Forget it, go take a bath first."
In the imaginary virtual world, taking a bath is just a simulated false feeling, but it is really just a girl’s mood problem. Stretching hands and feet in hot water is a very relaxing and enjoyable problem.
The headquarters of Akatsuki's Car Guild had a bathroom, but because Asuna could not go offline, it became her exclusive room. Asuna walked into the bathroom. This was a very large luxurious room. The floor was covered with thick carpets. In addition, it was all occupied by the bath. The hot water evaporated upwards and the white mist was high on the wall. There is a water outlet from the monster face, and water splashes are constantly falling from there.
Asuna exhaled the single window lightly, and pressed the "Ready to Touch" weapon and armor button on the right half of the screen to completely release the weapon, her coat turned into a light spot and disappeared. This simple order to change clothes made Asuna confirm again that this is just a virtual world.
At this moment, her chestnut-colored long hair poured down her back, only three-quarter-sleeved knit sweater and leather tights were left on her body. The press of the button just now turned into ‘full clothing release’. Then all the pair of pants disappeared, leaving only the last cotton underwear. Then press the Gangnai button again and continue to change into the "underwear complete release" button. With only three presses, you can completely undress.
The imaginary cold feeling immediately stroked Asuna's skin, and Aincrad's subsequent settings were synchronized with reality, so the indoor temperature in early December was also quite low.
Asuna plunged her left foot into the warm water, and the composite electrical pulse signal of cold and slight heat hit her forehead. Then Asuna slowly immersed her whole body in the warm water, leaning her back against the soft stone of the bath, and couldn't help groaning comfortably.
Whether it is the sensation of the skin immersed in hot water, the water pressure against the body, and the luster reflected on the water surface, all have a strange feeling different from reality. But after a day of fighting, Asuna felt extremely relieved and couldn't help closing her mouth and sinking into the hot water, relaxing her muscles and bones all over.
It would be great if there were delicious pastries.
Asuna couldn't help but think so.
This sudden desire made her feel confused.
The food here is indeed not bad, but it is completely fake. The so-called "food" is composed of taste signals set by the line of sight of the neural simulation system and complex polygons. After all, the feeling of taking a bath is the same. At best, the reflectance and penetration are lowered. The warm touch is only the sensory cells of brain neurons, and the false NERvGear electronic signals received are listed.
Why would there be desire for such a false thing?
But but...
A month ago, would you have such an urge to take a bath? Will you be so craving for pastries? At the icy table, I don’t want to eat, but under the instructions of my parents, mechanically repeating the eating action, and now just thinking about the pastry will give a feeling of happiness. Which one is the ‘real thing’?
Asuna realized that she seemed to be thinking about something very important, she couldn't help opening her eyes, raising her body gently, and holding her breath.
