Might be Liz “feels bad” for making them go through that quest + pvp battle at end that she decided to “reward” them with a massage and spa treatment for the hard work. I think I might be the only one here though who actually wants a Liz X Kirito scene though. Would love it following the narrative they develop some kind of dom/sub dynamic because Kirito feels bad for teasing liz, and Liz wants to unlock that sub/cuck side out of Kirito knowing Asuna would never do that to him. Glad to see he’s back though, can’t wait for next update.
