After Asuna returned the Col from last time to Kirito, Akasaka did not make things difficult for him either.
After receiving the money—namely, the Col—Kirito left without looking back.
[He did not want to stay in this place for even a second longer.]
[Especially that guy called Tiger King... He still remembered the moment the other party had chopped off his hands and feet.]
Usagisawa Misumi complained, "That guy really has no manners. He just left without saying anything."
Asuna did not say anything. All she needed to do was return the money to him. That way, neither side owed the other anything.
Asuna did not want to owe him a favor.
If you borrowed something, you returned it.
Asuna's values were quite upright. If she borrowed something from someone, she would definitely return it. She might even return double the amount as compensation for wasting their time.
Just like earlier.
Asuna had given Kirito an extra 80,000 Col as compensation. Unfortunately, after taking the money, Kirito did not even glance at it, so he had no idea Asuna had given him extra...
Just then, Akasaka called out to Kirito, who was about to leave. "Wait a moment."
Kirito's foot froze in midair. He turned around stiffly, almost mechanically. "May I ask what you need, Mr. Tiger King?"
Kirito's smile was somewhat stiff, the corners of his mouth barely forcing out a grin.
With his arms crossed, Akasaka said bluntly, "You came here to buy a weapon, right? Are you leaving without buying one?"
After all, half of the weapons Lisbeth sold belonged to him.
There was no reason not to make this money.
Kirito sighed and could only obediently return to ask Lisbeth whether she had a weapon that suited him—preferably one comparable to his black sword, Elucidator.
Lisbeth
