"If you want to roast me like that, I don't mind. But knowing you, the fact that you came looking for me must mean you need my help. If you make me unhappy, are you sure I'll still agree to help you?"
Kirito froze upon hearing Seiya's words.
Right. Given Seiya's personality, if he annoyed him, getting his help would become difficult.
Ever since they were kids, Seiya had always had him wrapped around his finger because he understood Kirito's personality so well. This time seemed to be no exception.
But then Kirito reconsidered. He had already suffered so many losses in the past, so one more probably would not make much difference.
With the mindset that a true man could bend and stretch as needed, Kirito immediately forced an ugly smile onto his face. "Don't say that. We're best friends who grew up together! Mei already told me that there's no way my dear friend could be some perverted lolicon..."
"Cut the crap. Just tell me what you want my help with this time."
Seiya seemed unaccustomed to Kirito's current expression. Besides, this guy simply could not flatter people; every compliment he gave was painfully stiff. Before Kirito could finish, Seiya raised a hand and cut him off.
Although Seiya's teasing that he only came around when he needed something had embarrassed Kirito, the moment he thought of the matter at hand, he looked seriously at Seiya and said, "Actually, I came to ask you to raid a labyrinth with me."
Upon hearing Kirito's request, Seiya was briefly stunned. Then he looked at Kirito seriously and asked, "Has the Strategy Group found the latest Floor Boss room? But doesn't Asuna usually contact me about that? Why did you come in person this time?"
