After teleporting to the village on the 22nd floor, Liran and Shino took a breath of air when they walked out of the village and stepped into the grassland surrounded by coniferous forests and lakes. No matter where you look, there are only three colors: the shining green, the dark green that makes up the forest, and the blue of the lake and sky. It wasn't until I came to the 22nd floor for the first time that I felt that although there were only three colors, it was still very beautiful.
"How about it? If it's on this level, you should be able to handle it with peace of mind."
Lilan, who had returned to her original form, looked around with bright eyes.
"I didn't know it was so wide and beautiful. If that's the case, it seems like it would be okay for me to spread my wings.
“Besides, there are no enemy monsters here.
Looking at Shino, I couldn't help but be surprised. Poetry is a complete scenery
i'm in awe
"Shino?"
Shino moved the corner of his mouth slightly.
"...a beautiful place...I can't believe this is in a game..."
"That's what everyone says." That's what I was saying at first.
"I usually walk on cobblestones, but here there are basically no cobblestones, just grass, lakes and forests." Although simple, it's nice to have a sense of openness and everything looks sparkling. And the wind blowing is warm and comfortable. If you really stare at this level, you'll forget that this world is the world in the game.
"It turns out that this is the most suitable place to live. There must be wooden houses for sale nearby. I have to find them quickly."
"Yes.
"I understand.
I took the two of them and started walking through the beautiful 22nd floor venue. Different from the usual cobblestone road, you can step on the soft grassland and enjoy the warm sunshine and breeze.
"I discovered it as I approached a particularly large lake." A two-story cabin with a dark blue roof. This is the wooden house I found when I went to the guide before. And no one has bought it yet.
“The place looks nice and the prices seem reasonable.”
"Can you afford it? A house like this."
"Just buy it, it's in the game."
After saying that, I walked to the cabin and confirmed the price. I froze immediately. The house is worth 2,500,000 and I have 2,512,300. Almost the same price. No, you can buy as much as you can, but if you buy this, the money you have is 12,300. 12,300 can't even buy the armor and armor sold on the 51st floor, which is currently the frontline, and it will be used up quickly even if you stay in an inn.
I thought it would be easy to buy a house after saving money, but I didn’t expect to spend so much money. It can be hard to get into this…
"What's wrong? Don't you buy it?
"Well, that's Lilan. I'm running out of money. No, you can buy it, you can buy it, but if you buy it, you will only have a little money left. You can even buy tools."
Lilan walked over to me with a bang, staring intently at the window displayed in front of me. After speaking, exhale in circles and circles.
“That’s it, 2,500,000. Your balance is 2512300. Really worth your money.
"Yeah, at this price, you really can't afford fifty-one armor and armor."
Lilan glanced sideways at me.
"There is no need for weapons and armor. In fact, compared to others, you are equipped with high-performance armor, and in the BOSS battle just now, you seemed to have obtained an excellent sword. Moreover, if you have a large number of monsters in your hand If you sell all the materials or use them for tasks, you should be able to get the money back immediately."
"You, when did you see my things? Besides, I don't know. Of course I have a lot of monster materials, but -"
"Feed Kirito"
I suddenly heard a voice and turned my eyes in that direction. There was Shino, arms folded on her chest, looking at me in surprise.
"What are you going to do? Should you buy this house or not?"
He said "hmm" unconsciously. If she didn't buy a house here, Shino would be locked up in a small town and unable to live freely. Deaf. But if I go home here, I can't buy my armor or anything like that...
At first I felt like I didn’t know what to do, but when I turned my head and compared the pros and cons of buying a house here, I found that it was obviously more beneficial.
If you really can't stay at the inn, you can just go back here and spend the night when the strategy progresses. Also, the armor you have is of good performance, so there is no need to buy it for now. The boss battle is over when you come in.
"Now, I can't use it because it's not enough, but I can practice around it, so it's no problem." After all, if you can use this sword, you will be able to use it for a long time.
"Okay, okay. Respect the opinions of Reran and Shino here, spend most of the money you have! Buy this house!!"
"As I said that, I pressed the buy button." At the same time, most of the money on me was also looted, and the house was locked.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the bed. Before I knew it, I was wearing white light clothes, and people in white coats were busy making noise around me. I wonder if this is a hospital. When did I come to the hospital?
Looking up, a big white machine appeared. It was really big, big enough to cover my upper body. But strangely, the machine remembered. Looks like you've used it a few times. But I don't know what it is used for.
"I heard a voice." It was a female voice, and it sounded like it was coming through a microphone.
"Well, Shino-kun, I'm going to start using Medicuboid. Please leave it alone."
When I didn't say anything, a huge machine made a noise and completely covered my upper body. Then, everything went black before my eyes.
However, immediately after, a strange scene appeared in front of my eyes.
A dark space with orange light flowing everywhere. In front of me is a square window that looks like some monitor. Yes, this is a scene in cyberspace or VR space that often appears in science fiction movies.
Wondering why he was sent to such a place, he immediately came up with an answer.
"That's right, I got into VR with Medicuboid." This is the first place you visit when you get into VR. Here you can decide on the character, name and other things and create an avatar.
Just as he was thinking this, a woman's voice came to his ears. It sounded like a computer voice, not a human voice from before. The voice sent me instructions for creating an avatar. Immediately afterwards, an input window composed of light blue light appeared in front of me.
A word has appeared in the window.
"Shino".
"I don't remember choosing it myself, but it seems to be my avatar name." The gender is of course female.
When I grab that area, the window disappears. I immediately heard a woman's voice telling me to wait for the counselor to come. Sounds like we'll be hearing from you soon.
Just as I was thinking this, the ground suddenly began to shake. The earthquake-like shaking made my body unconsciously unstable. This is in VRMMO... earthquakes are impossible to happen, and first of all, this is not a game, so there is no such thing as an earthquake event...
Just as he was thinking about it, the floor suddenly fell down. Or should I say, the floor disappeared.
Anyway, the floor that suddenly started shaking disappeared, and I started falling into the black sea of VR. Maybe I was being sucked in, but my body continued to be pulled into the darkness. I couldn't even scream and fell directly into the dark space.
As I fell, my consciousness gradually faded, and after a while, my vision became pitch black.
"oh!!!"
I jumped up involuntarily, and the first thing I saw was what I thought was the interior of a wooden house. However, he seemed to wake up in the middle of the night, and everything he looked around was pitch black. The only bright spot was the moonlit windows.
Looking around again, he saw Kirito sleeping soundly on the bed next to him, and Lilan curled up and sleeping on top of him. Judging from his state, it seemed like he couldn't wake up no matter how much noise he made.
"Why did you wake up at this time..."
I murmured and lay down on the bed again, closing my eyes, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. I was wide awake. Just like when you wake up in the morning. You may not be able to sleep this way.
"Let's go out and relax. There are no monsters in the wild anyway."
After muttering something again, I slowly got out of bed, quietly walked over, went down the stairs, and walked out. As soon as I opened the door, a gust of cold night wind blew in, making me shiver. When I looked at her body, her underwear looked like a no-brainer. ...No wonder it’s cold.
I opened the window, put on my normal clothes, and walked to the back of the house. After Kirito bought the house, he found that when he walked around the back of the house, he saw a vast lake in front of him. It can be seen from below, and of course it can also be admired from the second floor.
"You can see more than just the lake." From the back of the house you can see all the prairie and coniferous forests that symbolize this level. After all, the house you chose is good, Kirito.
(nice view……)
If you look up at the sky, you can see the shining white moon. But it’s not a real moon, the night sky, meadows, taiga, lakes and the world itself are all just VR.
"Maybe it's because of the dream I had just now that my memory came back." How did you get lost in this world? What were you doing before you came to this world?
"I came into this world from a hospital."
Just as he was muttering, footsteps came from behind him. Not mine, sounds like stepping on grass. When he turned around, Kirito was not wearing his usual black coat. He kept rubbing his eyes and looked a little sleepy.
"By the way, Kirito was the first person I met after I got lost in this world, and we've been together ever since."
"Kirito"
"What's wrong, Shino? Why don't you go out at this time?"
“I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep from there, what were you doing?”
"I heard a noise and woke up to find that Shino was not there, so I went out to look for her. Even if there were no domain monsters, I would feel strange if she left without authorization in the middle of the night." At night. "
"It seems that he came here because he was worried about me." Rather, I wanted to move quietly at that time, but it seemed that I woke up Kirito.
"Sorry for waking you up."
"I'm not worried, so it's okay. By the way, you can sit next to me."
"I do not mind."
After hearing what I said, Kirito said "I see" and walked over and sat down next to me.
"By the way, Kirito seems to be very interested in my memory." Now, let me tell you, part of my memory has been restored.
"Hey Kirito, I seem to have regained my memory. Can I talk to you?"
After saying that, Kirito opened his eyes and stared at my face.
