Nanami said happily " yes you fell sleep Shen-sama while sitting on a chair and talking with klein,kirito and the others How can you fall sleep like that? Hehe everyone was surprised you know!"

Shen Tian smiled " hey im really sleepy that time it can't be helped "

"no one can sleep other than Shen-sama in that situation hahaha" Nanami said while laughing a little.

Shen Tian see that its already 7:12 he streched his body a little and started to leave the room he said "Nanami i gotta go now"

Nanami grabbed Shen Tian arm stopping him she said in low voice "Shen-sama are you going to go solo again in boss dungeon.?

Shen Tian looked at Nanami and said "Yes... "

Nanami said while lowering her head "Shen-sama do you not fear death..?"

Shen Tian trembled a little "Of course i fear death "

Nanami was surpried she said "Then why are you risking your life like that.. the other top guilds are already doing well already i think the game will be cleared in a 1 and a half year Shen-sama you don't have to risk your life like that again"

Shen Tian thought about his missions.. no he remembered the original SAO... Shen Tian don't know why but he felt he need to finish this game as soon as possible he turned his gaze at Nanami who seems worried about him.

"Nanami you don't have to be worried about me you should know how strong i am and i want to clear this game as soon as possible so we can get out of this world" He smiled while patting her head.

Nanami raised her head staring at Shen Tian " Shen-sama.... "

Shen Tian smiled at her and said while walking towards the door" I need to go now Nanami see you later"
