"Thinker what is the council thinking we are already stretched thin, so why would they make it harder for us to protect ourselves," Asuna says to thinker who nods in agreement.
Asuna can't help but shake her head in frustration, it's true that to people from the outside world, Aincrad looks like it's prospering, but the truth isn't so black and white.
The monsters of this world are attracted to negative emotions, envy, anger, sadness, despair, and anything that can be added to them, so having a large number of people gather anywhere is a bad idea.
This is one of the reasons why Aincrad has focused on growing its military and why the players decided that everyone has to enter the military at some point in their lives.
"The reason that they're sending a guild to Vale is because Vale keeps on sending or letting people come here, so everyone thinks that it's time that we do the same."
"The reason that they are sending a guild instead of a team or a single person, is that either one could easily be captured and Vale could claim that they are being suspected of something."
Asuna wants to point out that by sending a guild over to Vale the people there would have good reason to believe that Aincrad was sending a message to the kingdom.
Whatever that message was didn't matter as long as people believed that something was being said.
"Now as for the faunus kingdom, well we can't just have our people going to a place filled with people that hate us." Thinker says to her.
'Greate." Asuna says to Thinker as she accepts his answer.
"So why are you telling me this i all of you already made the decision?" she asks Thinker.
"Asuna, the guild that accepted to go to Vale was your Guild, Heathcliff wants you to stay because of your daughter."
"Unfortunately the third and fourth seats want you to go because you have a family." Thinker says to her and Asuna can't help but put her hand on her forehead as she feels a headache coming.
"Thanks for telling me." she says to Thinker before the help screen vanishes.
Asuna notices that Yui and her friend are looking at her, but they aren't the only ones, the people around them are all looking at her, so she decides that they should leave and go see what's happening outside the coliseum.
As they walk out of the coliseum Asuna makes sure to hold onto both of the kids ' hands, while Yui and her friend are old enough to be allowed to play without having someone to look at them, City A isn't the safest place in Aincrad.
The city has people from all over the world because it is a place where people whose only skill is fighting.
Somehow word about the coliseum got out faster than anyone could imagine so people from villages and even the kingdom came here to earn money and send it home to their families.
"Lady Asuna!" Asuan hears a man call to her She can't help but smile at the man with the rabbit ears, but her smile quickly fades when she notices the Human woman hat is accompanying him is wearing a black scarf.
She almost didn't notice the woman that had rabbit ears next to the prostitute, or maybe the woman still worked in the sex industry.
"This is my cousin Vevel." Sash one of Heathcliff's underlings says to her as the rabbit woman tries to shake her hand.
Yui immediately takes the woman's hand and shakes it.
"The one next to her is Coco." Sash introduces the Human to her, but when the woman tries to shake her hand, and Yui tries to do the same that she did before Asuna makes sure that her daughter doesn't dirty her hands.
"Coco show some respect take off the Scarf!" Sash chastises Coco who reluctantly does what he says.
"Sorry mam, she is just visiting, so she doesn't know what it means." Sash says to her.
"Oh, I'm sorry for misunderstanding, kids say hello." Asuna says to the kids who immediately shake Coco's hands.
"Lady Asuna if you have time I would like to speak to you about something." Sash says to her and judging that she has some free time Asuan decides to listen to what Sash has to say.
"Okay, I'm with my daughter and her friend so is it okay if you tell me here?" she asks Sash who reaches into his back pocket and takes out five sheets of paper.
"I know it's not my place considering that I haven't entered the military yet, but." Sash takes a deep breath.
"I'll say it as clearly as I can."
"There are people bringing children from the outside and selling them to the villages around the cities."
"I know that you and the knights are doing the best that you can to stop it, but most of the families and children aren't receiving much food, and I was hoping to set up a way for them to receive a little more."
Sash explains to her and Asuna begins to read what he wrote down.
She reads for what feels like a few minutes and she only stops to look for Yui and her friend who are playing with the two women who were accompanying Sash.
Asuna can't help but smile, Sash has given her the blueprints for the Public school system as well as a food bank system.
"Sash why are you showing me this, You thought about everything.?" she asks the rabbit man.
"There are people that won't like the fact that this help will exist and the only thing that will force them not to attack us at least directly is the guild seal." Sash says to him.
Auna can't help but rub between her eyes.
"Sash, I can't do that." she says to Sash and looks at the defeat in his eyes.
"Look, get the grocerystores or farms to agree, if you can get just one person to sign their name, it will be enough for me to tell everyone that I gave you permission." she says to Sash.
Sash immediately smiles and eagerly shakes her hand before she hands him back the papers.
"Hide this and dont show it to anyone else." she warns him and Sash immediately nods.
He knows that there are people who benefit from the way things are right now, and that they won't hesitate to hurt him so that things don't change.
"Kids we are leaving!" Asuna calls to the kids as Sash and his two women are leaving.
As Asun to both kid's hands Sash glares at Coco, who smirks at him.
"I told you to keep that thing off." he says to her with a harsh tone in his voice.
"So that woman doesn't like me wearing a scarf that's her problem." Cocvo says to him.
'Look around you, look at who is wearing a scarf and who is wearing what." he says to her in a low voice but his words still carry his anger.
Both Coco and Velvet begin to look around and see that most of the men and women who are wearing scarves are all either wearing risky clothes or are wearing clothes that draw people's attention.
"Velvet listen I can't lose this chance, I want to go to the castle so listen when I tell you not to do something while you are here." Sash says to his cousin but his eyes are on her partner.
Velvet and Coco look at each other and accept Sash's words, both Beacon Academy and Shade Academy asked them to come to Aincrad to record everything that they can.
Unfortunately, they found that the stories about the kingdom were true and the only reason that Velvet wasn't being forced to lower her head to every Human was because she was wearing a chain collar.
"So what did she say?" Velvet asks Sash.
"Lady Asuna approved of my idea, but I need to find someone to sign a store or a farm and she will handle everything else." Sash answers Velvet.
"Why?" Coco asks him.
"Believe it or not but there are people that don't want things to change, so anything that the guilds do to help people will be slowed down by them." Sash answers Coco.
'Why would.?" Coco begins to say but Sash silences her with a glare.
"It's not the Players that I have to worry about, it's everyone else that's the problem." Sash says to her as he reaches for his sword.
The enemy vanishes behind a crowd and Sash lowers his stance, he can't help but shake his head in frustration and anger.
The White Fang has managed to infiltrate Aincrad and they are an infection that needs to be removed before they stop any of the changes that his group is trying to make.
He turns and looks at his cousin and her friend, teammate, and maybe lover and hopes that his group can do enough so that Velvet doesn't have to wear a collar every time she comes to visit him.
It's been three years since he came here and started fighting, most of the money that he makes he sends back home, and from what Velvet and Coco told him, his family put that money to good use.
"What was that about?" Coco asks him.
"Forget about it, let's go look for someone to sign their name."
"It will be easy to get someone to sign, I have Lord Heathcliff's emblem after all," he says to the two young women as he leads them deeper into the city.
