Asuna Wanted to Buy a House?...

"All right, come over and eat..."

Seeing that the two had finished their first meeting, Wu Yan waved Asuna and Silica over and walked to the dining table.

"It's long past mealtime. I'm starving..."

"Did you make all these dishes, Brother Wu Yan?..." Silica trotted over to the table. Looking at the ten exquisite dishes arranged atop it like sculptures, a flash of amazement passed through her eyes. "They're so beautiful!"

"I've actually wanted to ask this for a while..." Asuna looked at Wu Yan in confusion. "The cooking system in SAO is so heavily simplified. How did you manage to make them look like this?..."

"That's a trade secret. Not for sharing!" Wu Yan grinned smugly. "It took me a full half year of research just to figure out the plating. So? Impressive, right?..."

Silica immediately nodded her little head repeatedly, while Asuna pouted and turned away. "What's with that look like it's such a big deal..."

"Sit down, both of you!" Ignoring Asuna's sour remark, Wu Yan sat down directly. "If I hadn't specifically raised the durability of these dishes, they'd probably have gone cold by now." "I didn't expect this to happen either..." Asuna sat down helplessly. "There was always a small celebration after every clear in the past, but I turned them down every time. I meant to turn this one down too, but those people went straight to headquarters. Since I don't stay at an inn and live at headquarters instead, they caught me..."

"That's because Miss Asuna is too popular..." Silica said softly. "Everyone wants to celebrate with Miss Asuna..."

"Just call me Asuna!" Asuna said with a smile, then sighed. "Even so, it can be troublesome sometimes..."

"Why don't you move out, then?" Wu Yan set utensils in front of Asuna and Silica.
