After being hit by Yushan Kazuto, Doma Mai, who was originally a little frightened, finally came to her senses. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed saved by Yushan Kazuto.
Although, in Tsuchiya's opinion, the SAO world is just an ordinary game world where resurrection is possible, the reality and fear of the monster appearing in front of her still made her body tremble.
"Thank you, thank you." Domama said in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Yushan Heren blinked.
"Thank you!" Seeing that Yushan Kazuto looked a little confused, Doma Mai thought he didn't hear clearly, so she spoke a little louder this time.
"That's right! The voice of thank you is so soft, no one can hear it clearly." Yushan Heren said.
Only then did Doma Mai realize that she had been teased by Yushan Kazuto, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes as she looked at Yushan Kazuto.
"Let's go, keep moving forward and try to upgrade before twelve o'clock." Yushan Heren said.
Although there is only an hour and a half left until twelve o'clock, Yushan and the other two are not far away from leveling up. If they can kill monsters more efficiently, it is not impossible for them to level up before twelve o'clock.
Seeing Yushan and others walking quickly forward, Tsuchima could only retract her gaze and quicken her pace to catch up.
Yuuki Asuna followed closely behind the two of them, moving forward while paying attention to the movements around her.

"Merry Christmas! Go see Jesus!" The long sword cut the throat of a monster, and the monster's head flew out immediately. Yushanhe fell to the ground, and a golden light surged from his body.
"Finally upgraded. Why did you two upgrade faster than me?" Yushan Heren said.
Doma Yui and Yuuki Asuna gave Yuyama Kazuto an expression that said "you should reflect on this carefully". If today's battle had not chosen to allocate more experience to Yuyama Kazuto, it would probably take more than half an hour for Yuyama Kazuto to level up.
While Yushan Kazuto was slacking off these days and was not online, Doma Yui and Yuuki Asuna were not absent, so they naturally accumulated a lot more experience than Yushan Kazuto.
"But I didn't expect that there would be a monster riot tonight. Otherwise, I would have to practice for a while longer."
Although the area where Yushan and the other two are located looks very clean, this is determined by the refresh mechanism of Aincrad.
When a monster is killed and falls to the ground, its corpse will be refreshed in a short time. Previously, the three of them killed people all over the place, but now the surroundings are clean.
"I've also heard feedback from members of the Knights. It seems that now, the monsters in the game will riot periodically with unknown patterns." Yuuki Asuna said.
"In other words, a certain regularity has emerged, but the real pattern has not yet been discovered?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Well, according to the feedback from the Knights, some places have riots every three to five days, and some places have riots every six to seven days. The length of time cannot be accurately measured, but it does show a certain pattern."
Yushan Kazuto looked at the sky.
[What is this? Is someone unable to hold back? ]
"Is everyone okay?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Fortunately, although we were caught off guard by the riot at the beginning, under the leadership of several stronger knights, there were no major problems. After learning about the monster riot, everyone was prepared and became more calm."
Yuuki Asuna said slowly.
At times like this, Tsuchima Mai could never get a word in, because she was not involved in the management of the Knights Order, and she didn't know much about the inside story of Aincrad. She could only watch as Kazuto Yuyama and Asuna Yuuki negotiated.
"Let the members of the Knights Templar be careful. If I'm not mistaken, there will be more monster riots in the next period of time." Yushan Heren said.
"Try to avoid high-level monster areas and try not to go too deep into the heart of the monster area. If you find anything wrong, report it to the team leader first, and then leave together."
"I understand. I will inform the Knights." said Yuuki Asuna.
Hayama Kazuto nodded and sat on the boulder next to Doma Mai.
"Today is Christmas, Asuna, why don't you give the members some benefits?"
Chapter 731: Poor Little Umaru
After being reminded by Yushan Kazuto, Yuuki Asuna finally reacted. No wonder she always felt that there was something she had not done today. It turned out to be about the Rose Knights.
It has been nearly half a year since the players entered Aincrad. During this period of time, except for occasional peace, the rest of the time has been shrouded in the shadow of battle and death.
There is no calendar in the world of Aincrad. Many people are in a daze, relying on the belief that they don't want to die to hold on until now, but they have even forgotten how long they have been in the game.
During the day today, Yuuki Asuna was also online, but no one in the Rose Knights mentioned Christmas.
Yuuki Asuna didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing what Yuyama Kazuto said, she suddenly realized it!
The reason why no one from the Rose Knights mentioned Christmas today is probably because - after being in the game for several months, they have forgotten the time!
They even forgot when they entered the game. The only creed that supported them was to survive until the moment when Aincrad was completely conquered!
Since I have forgotten the day I entered the game, Christmas a few months later will naturally be forgotten more easily.
There are no game operations in the world of SAO. After all, Argus, the company that developed SAO, is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the developer, Akihiko Kayaba, has been classified as a fugitive.
Therefore, things like Christmas activities are naturally nonsense.
It's probably not just the Rose Knights who have forgotten that today is Christmas. In the entire world of Aincrad, there are probably few people who know that today is Christmas.
Apart from Yushan and the other two, perhaps only those people lurking in the dark still remember that today is a holiday.
"Senior Kazuto, I have to go back to the Knights first." Yuuki Asuna said seriously.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't expect that just a few words from him would make Yuuki Asuna give up leveling up and choose to return.
"You go back first. Komari and I will sit for a while and come back soon." Yushan Kazuto said.
After saying that, Yushan Kazuto threw a "cross-level return scroll" to Yuuki Asuna. Using the scroll, she could directly return to the Rose Knights from the current area.
It can be seen that Yuuki Asuna seems a little anxious. After all, there is less than half an hour left until the end of Christmas.
Yushan Heren had no choice but to reluctantly give her the "cross-level return scroll" that he had treasured for more than a month to help her return to the guild quickly.
In the world of Aincrad, "teleportation scrolls" are common, but "cross-layer teleportation scrolls" are not.
If you want to cross floors, you usually have to find the space passage of the floor first. But this is not necessary for the "cross-floor teleportation scroll". You can directly return to the guild or other bound locations by using it.
Of course, giving the "cross-layer teleportation scroll" to Yuuki Asuna has other benefits. If she can go back to the city directly, there is no need to worry about Yuuki Asuna walking alone and being assassinated.
Looking at the precious "cross-level return scroll" in front of her, Yuuki Asuna did not refuse. She took it and used it directly.
Watching Yuuki Asuna disappear on the spot, Yuyama and Renren walked towards the area of Doumai.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Looking at Tsuchima Yui's expression, Yushan Here asked with a smile.
"No, I'm just looking at the scenery." Doma Mai moved slightly to make a seat for Yushan Heren. Yushan Here didn't hesitate and sat down directly. There was still a trace of Doma Mai's body temperature left on the boulder.
"Is Ohira not back yet?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"My brother called during dinner and said he wouldn't be back tonight," said Domama.
"Hey, Ohira is so irresponsible? What are you going to eat tonight?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
He didn't ask about lunch because he had sent a video message to Tsuchima and wanted to see Xiaoxue in the afternoon.
But he didn't know that at that time, Yui Doma hadn't had lunch yet.
"I just ate a little." Doma Mai would not tell Hayama Kazuto that she drank a two-liter bottle of Coca-Cola and ate four family-sized bags of potato chips by herself.
"You're such a poor thing, being alone at home on Christmas." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"Scumbag senior, you are the little..."
Before Yui Doma could finish her words, a big hand covered her head and stroked it slowly.
"Although I can't spend Christmas with you, I can still sit with you in the game for a while." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"Who wants you to accompany me, you scumbag senior? Go accompany your senior sister Yukinoshita!" Doma Mai pouted and said.
"Accompany Yukinoshita? Well, but I've already returned from her house, and it seems a bit inappropriate to go to her house again." Yushan Kazuto said with some embarrassment.
"You really went there!" Domama jumped up and looked at Yushan Kazuto with a questioning look on her face.
"You just had dinner and came back." Yushan Kazuto blinked.
Doma Mai suddenly felt a little unhappy. She originally thought that Yushan Kazuto and Yukinoshita Yukino just had dinner outside, but she didn't expect that they were having dinner at Yukinoshita's house.
"Scumbag senior, are you cooking or is senior Yukinoshita cooking?" After being unhappy, Doma Mai asked in a low voice.
"Yukinoshita cooked this." Yushan Kazuto said, "You don't know how disgusting that turkey is."
"Is... is that so?" Hearing Yushan Kazuto's complaints, Tsuchima's voice tone rose several degrees.
"Of course, it's really hard to imagine why there would be such disgusting food." Yushan Heren said.
Doma Mai blinked and couldn't help but guess something in her mind. According to what Yuyama Kazuto said, it seemed that Yukinoshita Yukino's cooking skills were a match for hers.
But after thinking about it carefully, Doma Mai felt that something was slightly wrong. It was not like she had never eaten dishes made by Yukinoshita Yukino before. Although they were not as good as those made by Hayama Kazuto, they tasted very good. They were completely different from what Hayama Kazuto described.
"Why do I remember? Yukinoshita-senpai is quite good at cooking." Doma Mai asked helplessly.
"Only the turkey is unpalatable, but the other dishes are quite delicious. I tell you, don't eat turkey at Christmas!" Yushan Heren said.
"Got it!" Domama said with gritted teeth, "Then how many dishes did Yukinoshita-senpai cook in total?"
"About 12 dishes," Yushan Kazuto recalled, "smoked ham, Christmas rolls, gingerbread..."
"Okay, okay, senior Kazuto, please stop talking." Doma Mai didn't want to listen anymore.
Although she ate her favorite potato chips and drank her favorite large bottle of Coke at night, it was far inferior to the Christmas dinner made by Yukinoshita Yukino!
"When we get back to Tokyo, I'll treat you to a delicious meal." Looking at the appearance of Umi Doma, Kazuto Yuyama couldn't help but smile.
"Really?" Domama's eyes were about to light up.
Chapter 732: Yuuki Asuna wakes up early
"What time is it now?" After the two sat for a while, Doma Mai asked.
"Eleven forty-seven." Yushan Heren looked at the time and said.
"Sit with Umaru-chan until midnight." Umaru-chan whispered, "Can I?"
"Why not." Yushan Heren smiled. There was nothing to do today anyway. Although he was scheduled to log off before twelve o'clock, it was not a big deal to log off a few minutes later.
The two of them sat side by side on the stone, looking up at the sky.
The sky of Aincrad is not quite real. It can be seen that Kayaba Akihiko did not put too much effort into the authenticity of the sky, but it is really beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
"Hey, scumbag senior, can you see such a sky in the wilderness next to your house?" Doma Mai suddenly asked as she looked at it.
"You don't have to go to the wilderness, you can see it in my yard." Yushan Kazuto pretended to be cool without making any expression, but Tsuchima Mai didn't seem to get the key point in Yushan Kazuto's words.
"Living in a building, you can't even see the sky above your head." Doma Mai sighed a little.
"Then let's watch it for a while longer." Yushan Heren said with a smile.
"Huh? Asuna sent an email?" Tsuchima Yui suddenly felt confused. Could it be that Asuna Yuuki sent an email to urge the two of them to return to the guild?
"I think I received it too. Let me take a look." Yushan Heren said.
The message in the email was very simple. It was not urging the two to return to the union as the two had guessed, but a blessing letter, wishing everyone a happy Christmas and encouraging everyone that victory was just ahead.
In addition, each person was given 1,000 Knights' Contribution Points as a Christmas gift.
You know, the contribution value of the Rose Knights is not low. One thousand Knights' contributions are enough to exchange for a popular mainstream equipment.
"It's not bad to send out Christmas greetings right at the end of the year." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"It's only afternoon in Europe." said Tsuchima with a snort.
"Europe!" Yushan Kazuto seemed a little emotional. In the past Christmases, Yushan Kazuto's mother would ask someone to send some gifts over. Although they were of little use, this year they were suddenly gone, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong, scumbag senior, have you been to Europe?" Doma Mai heard the change in Yushan Kazuto's tone.
"No, I just have a relative in Europe." Yushan Heren said.
"Oh." Tsuchima blinked and responded softly.
The world of Aincrad also has night, but it is not quite synchronized with the real world. It is already midnight, but it is still as bright as day in Aincrad.
Suddenly, a cloud passed by in the sky, and Tsuchima suddenly shouted, "Scumbag senior, look at that cloud, doesn't it look like a Christmas cake?"
Yushan Kazuto took a careful look. No matter how he looked at it, that cloud didn't look like a Christmas cake, right?
“I feel more like cotton candy.”
"It's obviously a Christmas cake!" said Domama firmly.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. Doma Mai said it so firmly, could it really be in the shape of a cake?
I looked at it a few more times, but I still couldn't tell how it had anything to do with the cake.
Yushan Kazuto suddenly remembered that when he unpacked the package, the original code of SAO, regarding the unreachable dynamic scenery such as clouds, was calculated inside each of their NervGears.
