\"So that's it. It turns out that the gathering place of unrealized data is the warehouse that Lilan mentioned. I seem to understand something.\"
"In short, that's what I said. And the three mhhp, Jupiter, and Quinella, are also sealed in a corner. Moreover, this unrealized data warehouse also contains wild data, and even City data. Now I've recovered." In my memory, I remember it was like a world.
A data dump that is abandoned without implementation is what I call a “hollow zone.” "
I thought that the unrealized area only had monster data and weapon data, but I didn't expect that there was venue and city data here, and it was also the place where Lilann and others were sealed. It really surprised me. ——Seeing my face like this, Lilan smiled as she stayed in the "empty area".
"What? What this face says is that the data on the 'hollow area' has not been implemented. What a waste."
"Because yes, if there is so much data, wouldn't it be great to implement one, two, or even three? Even the Dragon Queen in your data was originally planned to be implemented.
\"Yes. This is a world born to fulfill my desire to imagine the world\"
This is a death game that takes lives. "
At this time, Alice, one of the former Argus employees who developed Lilan and others under the leadership of Kayaba Akihiko and implemented them in Aincrad, sighed deeply. When I turned to look at him, I saw deep emotion written all over his face.
"Only Kayaba-kun knows the truth. We are just making an ordinary online game. I personally could not have predicted this.
\"Mr. Kayaba also did something very bad.\" Because we locked Lilan, Yui and others in the \"hollow area\" together with missing data and unrealized data. "
"Alice is probably the one who's most shocked by this incident." I've heard it many times, but ever since I've been in SAo I've been feeling sorry for Kayaba's plans for not coming to fruition, and for trapping us in SAo Pity. ——If you think about it this way, Alice is just making games and AI. In a sense, this person can be said to be one of the victims of SAo. No, actually it is.
When I looked at Alice like this, one of my daughters, Yui, stopped me.
"Dad, you know about airspace."
\"Ah. Liran and the others are sealed in Kayaba, and there are unrealized data and missing data inside. So far, thanks to Yui and the others' explanation, I understand.\"
"That's great. But it's important to start here."
The smile on Ye Xiu's face turned serious again. "The Hollow Zone" is an important story, but I quickly realized that it would become even more important from here on out.
"Dad, I told you before, the hollow area is both a warehouse and a testing ground."
\"Ah. You can't achieve anything without testing. The test field is\"the empty zone
"At that time, I suddenly had a question." Who can sneak into the "hole zone" and still browse the data and test things that will be implemented in the future? If SAo was an ordinary online game, who would plan to use "hole areas"? With a series of questions, I immediately asked Yui.
\"Wait a minute. Hey, Yui, by the way, who can enter the "empty area"? And who will test the items and data that will be implemented? No one put it in. \"
“The only ones in the airspace were me, my sister at the time, and my brother Jupiter, who had some sort of executive power.
When I hear the words "master account" there is one person that comes to mind. At first he was just there as a companion, but it was later revealed that he was the mastermind behind everything and ruled as the Demon Lord of Aincrad.
"Main account Sugo. He used the main account to enter the hollow area and took away the data while we were not paying attention."
\"Yes. The "Emperor Dragon" who was fighting the dads on the 100th floor was brought out by Nobuyuki Sugago from the "Hollow Zone" and implemented in Aincrad. I thought it was used Made from map data from the "void area". Upper layer, but also from the "airspace"."
"It's all about airspace data, isn't it? It's a good thing to be able to use the main account, which realizes powerful airspace data."
"Yes.
"By the way, who did it? If the players don't go in, the administrators won't go in either. Is this still a model that can be realized without experimentation?"
Then Yui shook her head, glanced at Alice, and then turned her attention to me. Alice looked at Yui with a confused expression on her face and started to speak.
\"What's the matter, Yui?\"
\"Although it is a bit strange story, when I looked carefully at my sister's memory, I found something similar to the history of the "Hollow Area". According to this, it seems that the "Hollow Area" was tested without an experimenter. under the circumstances. "
"The experiment was conducted without an experimenter? What was that?"
"To put it simply, I was doing experiments in the 'hollow zone' without being discovered. That's it."
"That is"
At this moment, Lilan crossed her arms and opened her mouth with a serious expression.
"Thinking about it now, it was a scary scene, but the [void area] that only administrators can enter, experiments were repeatedly conducted in the experimental field without players. This is a faithfully reproduced AI group. Player, creator
Hearing this, both Alice and Alice were surprised. Of course, various AIs such as monsters, NPCs, Lilan, and Yui are also implemented in SAo, but I don’t think there are others, and I didn’t expect them.
"Faithfully reproduce the player's AI? Is there a function to create something similar in the hollow area?"
\"Yes. The AI system developed by Mr. Alice and installed on the NPC may be applied to the void area. The AI we created based on these data is being experimented with the data from the void area.\".The reason To faithfully reproduce the player, probably because it looks more convenient for experimentation. think about it"
At this time, Alice, who was responsible for creating the AI system, lowered her head and made a grumpy face. It was like I learned for the first time that my system was being used in an unexpected place.
"I didn't expect that the AI system I made would be used in a place like this. I didn't expect that it would be put into the company's database. And those AIs living in empty areas? Let's call it empty data."
Yui turned to face me, ignoring the fact that Alice gave the AI in the "hollow area" a name.
\"So, this is the most important story. When I checked the usage history of "Airspace" that my sisters came out, I found that besides my sister, brother, and Sugo, there were other people who logged in. \"Entering the 'Hollow Zone', it appears they retrieved a piece of Hollow Data and brought it to Aincrad."
\"So, this is the most important story. When I checked the usage history of "Airspace" that my sisters came out, I found that besides my sister, brother, and Sugo, there were other people who logged in. \"Entering the 'Hollow Zone', it appears they retrieved a piece of Hollow Data and brought it to Aincrad."
Existences other than Yui, Jupiter, and Lilan invaded the "hollow area" - just by saying this, I understood how ridiculous this story was.
"So, could anyone do such a thing? Who is this?"
\"I don't quite understand. However, in Sister's history, there is indeed a record that in addition to Sister, Brother and Sugo, there are other users. And that person is an AI that faithfully reproduces the player.\" In the 'hollow area', after retrieving a piece of hole data, it seemed that he left the 'hollow area', returned to Aincrad, and released the hole data. "
I immediately imagined the data hole in Aincrad, but I still couldn't believe it. If Hollow Data were a faithful representation of the Aincrad players, then there would be two players with the same name, the same appearance, and the same stats. Would Aincrad allow this?
\"Wait, wait, Yui. So, there are two identical players in Aincrad. In this case, wouldn't the system go crazy?\"
\"Remember Kirito. At that time, due to Sugou, the base number system was paralyzed. Even things that were usually impossible became possible.\"
Lilan's sudden words reminded me of it. Of course, Aincrad at that time was in a state where the control system, the basic system, was paralyzed due to Sugo's manipulation, and all systems other than the basic system were unable to function. So even if there were two players with the same data, Aincrad at the time didn't think it was illegal.
"But who would do such a thing for what-"
Just then, I had a strong hallucination flash through my mind. Immediately afterwards, the content that came to my mind made me feel that the heat in my fingertips and toes had dissipated, and my body suddenly became cold. While trying not to realize this, I immediately turned my gaze to Alice next to me.
Alice's face also became serious, as if she had realized something outrageous.
\"Alice-san\"
\"What's wrong, Kirito-san?\"
\"What would happen if both real things and empty data existed in Aincrad? What can you do?\"
\"What a coincidence. I thought so too.\"
Then Alice raised her head slightly and crossed her arms. And just like that, I started swirling the words around as I slowly breathed them out.
"Although it is originally an AI for testing, the way to use hollow data with the same properties and appearance as a certain player is to kill them. If it is an AI, even if it is killed, it will not be nothing. If Aincrad If the system itself recognizes Dataxon as a player, after Dataxon dies, the Life Monument on the first floor will become the scapegoat and draw a horizontal line.
However, in that case, only the data will die, and the person himself will not die. A horizontal line will be drawn on the monument of life. ——In a real sense, you can 'play dead'. "
In Aincrad, when someone dies, a horizontal line is drawn over the name on the first floor of the Tablet of Life. And the cause of death is written on it, making it easy to confirm who is alive and who is dead.
However, if the same situation occurs when Data Hole dies, a line will be drawn through the name of the Living Monument even if he himself does not die. ——Although you are not dead, you can make yourself look like you are.
And, according to Alice, in addition to testing unimplemented systems, Yui's method of using hollow data is to serve as a scapegoat who can be sent to death. ——After hearing this sentence, I couldn’t help but think of a certain death place in my mind.
\"This was the biggest mistake I ever made, and the worst battle in Aincrad's history.\"The worst dead end. This is the "Smiling Coffin Luffin Coffin" crusade. During that battle, I sent Lelan into a rage and had him destroy all of the Smiling Coffins, including the leader Vassago Casals and executives Zaza and Johnny Black.
However, all the "Smiling Coffins" were gathered there at that time, and ever since Lilan killed them all, the remnants of the "Smiling Coffins" have been appearing in front of our capture team.
"But if that time"
\"Hey, Kirito!\"
I almost screamed when I suddenly heard a voice. When I looked up in shock, a girl with long blond hair and platinum wolf ears appeared.
"What's wrong? You look pale."
I turned to face the worried girl - I was the person responsible for annihilating the "Smiling Coffin" at that time. I asked while sweating coldly.
"Hey, Lilan may remind you of some unpleasant things. Do you still remember the crusade of [Smiling Coffin]?"
"Well!"
Lilan's body began to tremble as if his back was hit by an ice cube. When he looked surprised for a moment, a sad expression gradually appeared underneath, and he lowered his head.
"I remember, I lost myself and killed it out of instinct. And I actually killed all the [Smiling Coffins]. I did cause you trouble, and I almost killed you."
Then, Lilan raised her head. This time, he had a confused look on his face.
"But why are you talking about this now? What's on your mind now?"
“What if the null data is mixed in by that time?”
After hearing my words, everyone made a small sound of surprise for a while, and the room was silent. Since the windows were closed, not even the sound of the wind could be heard, and the room was completely silent. At the same time, a heavy silence enveloped the place, but it was Lilan who broke it all.
"Wait a minute, you're saying that the guy from Smiling Coffin took your place in that fight?"
\"Someone in the Smiling Coffin knew in advance that the battle would be like this. I took my own empty data and released it to Aincrad, allowing him to participate in that battle.\"
Then, only the empty data was destroyed at that time, but the person involved survived. After the "Smiling Coffin Wood" was destroyed, he survived and logged out by hiding the fact that he was the "Smiling Coffin Wood".
My voice and words flowed out naturally, conveying all the thoughts in my head to everyone present. I guess this is impossible for me too, but I can't think of any other ideas. I heard Alice's voice next door.
\"If Kirito-kun's story is true, then there is only one person who survived the Smiling Coffin. You hid in Aincrad and finally exited safely. Are you saying that the "Smiling Coffin" is not completely Die?"
The "Smiling Coffin" is still alive. Smiling Coffin, who was originally thought to be dead, actually survived due to a special method and was released into the real world after being logged out. When I think of this, all kinds of thoughts flood into my mind like muddy water. Anxiety surged in my heart, my body began to tremble, and I hugged myself tightly involuntarily.
“Who is that?” Is it a leader, an executive, someone lower down the hierarchy?
"No, how did he enter the airspace?"
"How the hell did he get those empty numbers?"
\"How did he bring the null data to Aincrad\"
"!"
Suddenly, something warm fell on my neck. The next moment, the muddy thoughts that came to my mind stopped and suddenly became quiet. But I don't know what happened.
Just when I was stiff and confused, something suddenly appeared from the side and peered into my face. Long blond hair, platinum wolf ears, and ruby red eyes—it was his partner Li Lan.
When I saw that face, I realized that Lilan had moved from next to Yui to next to me, and he put his hand on my part and performed mental healing, which is the function of mhhp.
"Lilan"
\"I wanted to get in too deep, so I forced you back. Kirito, you went too far this time.\"
""
After staring into my eyes and sighing, Lilan spoke again.
"Of course, I don't know who took out the void data, so I can understand why people would suspect that it is the "Smiling Coffin". Moreover, the reason why the "Smiling Coffin" can wreak havoc is because that world is One world." The game world and the death game are going on at the same time.
However, now that we are back in the real world, we have no way of knowing where we are and it is hard to find. Moreover, even if I meet him in a place like ALo, I can't kill him because this is not a death game. All you can do is incapacitate them. "
After chatting with Lilan for a long time, a smile appeared on his face.
"You can't talk about other people. You tell me that the death game is over and I don't have to worry about it anymore. But you are just as overly cautious as you were in that world. That's it." Walk around and think about those things you Nothing to prepare for.
"When I was told this, it dawned on me. "Of course, when I was in SAo, I wanted to help everyone survive, including myself, so I developed various strategies and paid attention to things around me. Thinking about it now, I feel like I'm pretty close to where I was at that time.
\"Kirito, don't think too much. The death game is over. Even if there are survivors in the Laughing Coffin, it's impossible to kill you. You don't have to think about it\"
Hearing Lilan's gentle voice, I covered half of my face with my right hand. Of course, the game of death is completely over, and the world we're in now, ALo, is nothing more than a VRmmo. In addition, Amusphere's personal information cannot be read, and people cannot even learn other people's addresses. Even the "Smiling Coffin" using hollow data cannot attack us who escape from that world.
able.
I sighed deeply when I realized there was nothing to worry about.
"Yes, yes, yes. Just like Lilan said. I can't tell you, and you haven't escaped from that world."
“Because we’ve all lived in that world for a long time.
My heart gradually warmed up, and when I could smile like Lilan, I felt the burden on my shoulders become heavier. When I turned around, Alice, who was sitting next to me, put her hand on my shoulder and smiled.
\"Yes, Kirito-kun. Although your story is indeed possible, even if there are survivors, it is impossible to determine your whereabouts in the real world. And even if that person is still there. \"Your level , the guy who was originally the 'Smiling Coffin Member' in SAo was sent to a special juvenile detention center, and I didn't need it at all. "
After Alice said something similar to Lilan, I sorted out my mood again. Indeed, there may be survivors in the "Smiling Coffin", but this is only a possibility. Even so, they cannot attack us directly. So there is no need to be careful and there is no need to be afraid.
But even so, I still can't rule out the possibility that there is only one survivor left in the "Smiling Coffin".
"Yeah, I guess I thought too deeply about it, but"
"but?"
After I woke up, I started thinking again and remembered a certain existence. The existence of the smiling coffin makes it difficult to rule out the possibility that it is a survivor of Yui. Before I uttered these words, I turned to Lilan, who helped me regain my composure.
"Lilan, first of all, I want to thank you. Thank you, I can calm down. You not only stabilized my mentality, but also made me calm. And thank you for making me feel at ease."
However, I still cannot rule out the possibility that the "Smiling Coffin" is still alive. Alice-san, do you know a player named Hafia? "
"Hafia?"
Then I told Alice about Hafia and everything Lelan felt when she saw Hafia. The story ends with Alice sitting in a chair, her chin in her hand.
\"It turned out that the Tsuji Duelist attacked so suddenly. Then, Lilan felt the same presence as the people in the "Smiling Coffin", right?\"
"Yes. And"
I was suddenly attacked at the time, so I thought I might have misunderstood because I was upset, but when I thought about it calmly, I found that it was not a mistake. The method Hafia used to kill Diaberu at that time was to use stealth skills to sneak behind the opponent without making any footsteps and cut his throat with a deadly poisonous knife.
The one who is good at assassin fighting is none other than Johnny Black, the leader of Smiling Coffin, with a poison dagger. ——At that time, Hafia was doing exactly the same thing as Johnny Black.
"Hafia's fighting style is exactly the same as the actions of the [Smiling Coffin] executive."
"What did you say"
\"So I now think Hafia is the one who survived the Smiling Coffin. Hafia is the one who used the Hollow Data to survive death, restore karma and survive Aincrad. I think
Alice then made a grumpy face and started scratching her chin with her fingertips. Normally I'd start messing with my hair with my fingertips, but this time I grabbed my chin.
"Of course, if you can act like a 'Smiling Coffin' executive, it's also normal to think that he is the surviving 'Smiling Coffin' executive. Since she can be transgender, she can change her gender so people don't Noted that she is a survivor of the "Smiling Coffin" and even covers her face with a mask
"But in that case, you must be familiar with him. He should be the one calling you, right?"
"No, he was silent. He asked for a duel without saying anything, and when he refused, he attacked me silently. Even if he did something to me, he didn't scream or even shout. I did arrive."".
After the fight with Hafia, I sorted it out in my head, but what would I have yelled if Hafia had been Johnny Black, and the bottom line is, I was Johnny Black at the time. I should tell you, yes.
However, Hafia did not do this. He just swung his sword at us and ran away. This alone does not conclude that Hafia is Johnny Black. Alice probably thought so too. The expression on Alice's face was very complicated.
"No, I can't tell whether Hafia is the Johnny Black. Now I can only wait and see. Moreover, he has a tendency to attack players, so he will appear again." "I have to find a time to ask you. Not Johnny Black.”
"Of course, this is the fastest way, and I myself feel that Hafia will come again." I believe that we will fight Hafia again in the near future. When the time comes, it's best to ask before drawing your weapon. Only then will everything become clear.
Just as I was leaning on Lilan to calmly think about what to do next, I heard footsteps and turned around. Yui looked apologetic and worried.
\"Depend on\"
"Dad, I'm sorry, I kept confusing Dad by saying this. I wish I didn't talk to you."
\"No, it's not like that. Thanks to Yui telling me, I understand that world and what I need to pay attention to from now on. It's all thanks to Yui telling me. Thank you\"
"That's when I realized." Jupiter, Strea, and Quinella, who had the same face as Yui, were approaching me. Maybe, mhhp and mhcp instincts work just like Lelan did.
\"Kirito-san, are you okay?\"
"Yeah, thanks to your sister, I managed to do it. It seems that unless I be careful not to think too much, I won't be able to go. I'm fine now, you don't have to worry too much."
\"I'm really fine. Kirito, it's time for you to rest.\"
\"Indeed. I want to take a rest. After all, this is a place to rest. Miss Alice, can I stay here for a little longer?\"
I looked away from the worried expressions of the three of them and turned to Alice, finding her folding her arms. His face looked nothing like what he had seen when he was examined.
"It doesn't matter. After receiving Lilan's mental treatment, you should take some rest. Besides, I haven't seen you for a week. Let's hear what happened during this time."
I nodded and sat deeply in the chair, but my heart was not very calm.
If the people who survive using void data are indeed the people in the "Smiling Coffin", then it is not ruled out that they will attack us like Hafia in this world, and Hafia will attack us again at any time. If this happens, you should consider how to handle it.
A deep sigh came from my mouth as I thought about the pile of things I had to be careful about when attacking.
"Agu!"
Shino was suddenly knocked away and her body hit the wall. Sinon felt a dull pain all over her body and fell to the ground with her back against the wall, groaning.
Asuna and Leafa were walking in the back alley when someone suddenly pulled them aside and continued to pull them back with strong force. Until now.
"what happened"
What happened? When Shino opened his eyes and grasped the current situation, Shino was involuntarily startled and chanted in his mind. Here is a small gap between the buildings, the air is dark and humid, and there is a strange person in front of him.
A man whose details cannot be read, wearing a black hooded cloak and gray pants with a loose belt. I couldn't see his face because he was hooded, but I could at least tell he was male because his shoulders were pretty broad and all I could see was his mouth.
\"Who are you?\" Before Shino said this, the man in the black poncho spoke.
"Hey, I finally found you and met you. You must have come to this world too."
"!!?"
When Shino was startled by the man's words as if he knew something, the man quickly closed the distance between him and Shino, and grabbed the sitting Shino's neck with his right hand, forcing him to stand up. Sinon felt the suffocation of being gently strangled, opened her eyes wide, and made a hoarse voice.
"Ah, Agu, Kaha"
"Haha, the response is good, isn't it? Gil is indeed a first-class product, and the response is also the highest level, I don't know
Spoken by a person who pronounces so-called Katakana words into fluent English. From this alone, Shino understood that this man was no ordinary player, he was just unable to think clearly because he was strangled.
"Ah, um, ah, me,"
"Who am I? What am I doing here? No one knows what's going on. Everything is so strange. What kind of world is here? I don't know. There is no way to think about all these problems at the moment. It seems that I have to first To get information, you must first survive. What are the supplies needed to survive? It seems that there is an important person. I have something to deal with, and I can’t put it off any longer! That person is still waiting for me, ahhhh, think about it quickly Get up, I want to see him, I want to live, this is a game, I remember, I am that person, I know who I am."
At this time, the man seemed to notice something, and the corner of his mouth raised, and it eventually turned into something unexpected.
"ah?
\"Wha, what!?\"
"But, I've gotten to know you pretty well since then. Yes, ma'am? So, you erased the world I loved."
At this time, Shino opened her eyes again and forgot about suffocation for a moment.
"Black Dragon Swordsman" refers to Kirito. Kirito was known as the "Blood Oath Knights" in that world, and eventually became the leader of this huge organization. And I, as his lover and the wife of the leader of the Blood Oath Knights, am considered a celebrity.
However, all of this information is incomprehensible unless you are in that world and listening carefully. Knowing the information about that world is proof of being called that.
Survivors of SAo. The names they were called from time to time.
"why why..."
"How do you know? Hey, come on, if you remember me, you know it right away. Look, remember me or do you think you can't remember without breaking your neck?"
"Thus, the strength of that man's arm became stronger." Along with the crackling sound, Sinon's pain suddenly intensified, and she had the illusion that her neck was crushed.
"Ahhhhh"
"Well?
The man seemed to realize something and let go of his hand. Sinon, who had been strangled by the neck, fell to the ground on the spot. The air is suddenly sucked into the lungs for circulation, and the blocked air suddenly climbs into the mouth, and is exhaled when coughing violently.
"How about it, do you remember?"
Hearing the man's violent coughing, Sinon immediately turned her head to search for memories.
This is what happens when a tall man wearing a raincoat, covering his face with a hood, speaks a mixture of Japanese and English, and is fluent in English. This distinctive man sent a thick chill down her back.
There must be men with such a character in that world. More importantly, like Kirito, he possesses a sword as strong as a magic sword, and even leads an army that scares both the attack group and the humans living in Aincrad.
However, at some point, he went mad, was used by an entity, and ended up in Aincrad instead of returning to the real world. That's why it shouldn't exist in the real world, let alone in ALo.
"Martha, ha you, ha--"
The next moment, Sinon felt a sudden shock as if a heavy object had hit her abdomen. Realizing that it was a man's kick, Sinon bounced off the wall and rolled to the ground. A strong dull pain spread throughout the entire abdomen, and a strong sense of nausea also came up with the cough.
"Uh uh uh"
"Oh, my bad. It was too late to remember, so I stuck my legs out.
"I mean, it's natural to want to kick him because he's a love rival."
Sinon was writhing in pain and nausea, thinking in the corner of her mind. Why have you been experiencing such pain and suffering since some time ago? This game is supposed to have pain relief, but this man's attack cuts right through it, giving real pain and suffering. What the hell is this guy doing?
Just as I was thinking this, a man's voice came into my ears.
"However, the skills boSS taught me are too powerful. Ignoring the analgesic function of the analgesic device can make you pass out."
The man raised the corner of his mouth, grinned, and squatted down. The man opened his mouth as he looked at Shino's face, which was forcibly lifted up and twisted in pain.
"You can also do stupid things. I was the first to fall in love with him, but you stepped in and snatched him away."
"Ah, ah, ta, what, then, why, that time"
"I'm told I don't need to say anything about it, but...well, as someone who loves the same guy, I'll tell you something special."
Although Sinon was screaming, the man forcibly pulled Sinon's ear and put it to his mouth. Then he put Shino's ear close to her mouth and whispered.
"I was saved by [boSS] at that time. And I was the one who survived Yui in that party. If I hadn't done this, I would have been sent to hell. Meeting "boSS" was indeed a miracle."
"As I thought, ah, no, ha."
"Oh yes. I'm just like you. I'm just like you, a man who gave me hope and joy in life and whom I loved from the bottom of my heart. In the world after we left." Go ahead and do yourself a favor Busy, fall in love with him.
"But when I saw you guys so in love, I just thought"
The man lifted Shino's ears higher and flattened her face.
"What would happen to you, princess, if Prince Charming was killed in front of me?"
"!!"
Shino's eyes opened wide, and her ears felt like they were being crushed by pain.
"This person is him." When it comes to what he is best at, there is only one thing.
And this guy is confident that he can do it, and maybe he can actually do it.
"If what this guy wants to do comes true!"
"...Ahh..."
"Hey, did you just imagine it? Yes, I am scared. He is gone, and I am scared. Because you love him, and you love him very much.
"More than anything, I depend on you." I feel like I'm going to die just thinking about that moment when that thing that made me depend on you disappears because I'm so scared. "
On the way, the man grabbed Shino's ear and looked at the sky spreading out in the back alley. Normally, I'd think I'd found a way to attack, but with the dull aches and nausea all over my body, and the pain that felt like it was tearing my ears apart, I couldn't even think of an appropriate course of action.
"I am also afraid that he is gone. If he goes, I am afraid that I will lose the meaning of life, so I am the same as you. Yes, you and I are the same. I am a person who misses him as much as you do. Someone who had special feelings for him, and"
When the man came close to Shino's ear until his lips almost touched, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked her to kiss her.
"He's a murderer, just like you."
The next moment, Shino completely stiffened. I felt like all the blood in my body had been drained, and a deadly poisonous gas came from nowhere and flowed in my veins.
Shino Asada, the girl who once killed a robber with a pistol. This is my real name and the sin I once committed. ——Why does this man know this? You have to dig deep into the web to find this information, and it's not easily available.
"Huh? It's really surprising that I knew about this incident. It took me a lot of effort to find out what happened in such a remote place and the people involved at the time. I didn't even know it was you." I didn't expect his opponent. , the wife of the former leader of the Blood Oath Knights turned out to be a murderer in the real world. "
Besides, this is originally a virtual reality world called ALo, and I am Shino, a virtual character whose appearance is completely different from the real world. There's no way to guess what's inside the avatar from its appearance or name.
"But this man knows that he has killed someone before." And I knew that it was about an avatar named Shino. ——When he realized this, his body began to tremble violently, tears began to flow, and his heart was dyed black with fear.
“I don’t no no no no!!”
"Hey, this reaction seems wrong. You are a murderer, but you are also called a murderer, do you know?"
What do you hate? Hehe, murderous princess! "
Sinon gritted her teeth, making a rattling sound, and tried to shake her head to the side, but the pain in her ears and neck stopped her. However, at this moment, the man seemed to realize something and spoke again.
"ah?
"b-yes"
"What, you want to know? Unfortunately, you don't have to know yet."
The man said forcefully and threw Shino's body against the wall. Shino hit her head against the wall, made a dull sound, screamed, and then fell to the ground limply.
"Uh-huh"
"Don't worry, this is the last time I come to this divine game, and I won't appear again. However, please tell your important partner, the prince."
"One day, the Prince of Hell will come for me."
After saying that, the man turned around and continued walking, disappearing into the darkness of the back alley. When a man disappeared in the darkness, Shi Nai shouted silently in the darkness.
(Kirito Kirito ——————!)
\ "Poetry, where did you go?! \"
\ "Shi Nai, where are you? \"
Asuna and Lifa ignored their eyes and strolled in the back alley. The Capital of the Sky Rhine is as vast as an alley, perhaps because it is the largest city in Swatelffheim. Moreover, due to the different shapes of the building, it is like a complex maze. Walking in such a place, Asuna's mood was the same as when she sneaked into SAO's maze.
"I have gone for a long time, but I can't find you at all."
"The back alley of the Tiandu Line is so complicated.
\ "But I must find out the situation of Shi Nai as soon as possible. Maybe Shi Nai was caught by something. \"
\ "Indeed, Miss Shi Nai, you keep following us, why suddenly disappear?
"Maybe he was involved in a certain incident." I had to find Shi Nai quickly -thinking that Lifa stopped at the moment when the gap between the buildings that turned to the horizontal extended building. In the back alley that was very dark, there was a place even darker, and there was something on the ground there. Some things are falling, neither things nor an object.
When the eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, the object on the ground was a falling person, a player with light blue hair, green clothes, cat ears and tails. Cool hallucinations.
A person lying in the darkness is similar to Shi Nai.
\ "Poetry is classmate!!! \"
"Yes!!?"
Lifa deviated from the previous route, jumped into the darkness, and squatted down while reaching the person who had fallen. Girls with light blue hair, cat ears and tails, and green clothing. There is no doubt that Shi Nai.
However, although Lifa approached her and called her, Shi Nai had no response at all, just squatting on her face. Not long after, Asuna rushed over. When she walked to Lifa, she made a surprise voice.
\ "Hush, Shi Nai classmate !!?? \"
Asuna hugged Shi Nai's body excitedly and let her lie back. Poan Nai's face appeared on his face, as if he was attacked by severe pain, panting. Just this, Asuna realized something bad, shouting to him.
\ "Poetry, what's wrong poems!? \"
"Ahh..."
Poetry just made a weak voice from his throat and did not answer anything. It seems to be attacked by a strong pain, but because this game has pain blocking function, it should not be attacked by such a large pain.
\ "But why did Shi Nai be so painful? \" When I was thinking about such a thing in my mind, Lifa puzzled Asuna.
\ "Asuna, what should I do! \"
\ "In short, let's take him to the hotel. Moreover, I have to inform Kirito Jun! \"
\ "Oh, okay! I will inform your elder brother! \"
\ "Leifa sauce, please! \"
Li Fa stood up and ran straight into the back alley. Asuna looked around, and turned around until she couldn't see her footsteps and heard Shi Nai's mouth make a sound. Poetan's eyelids opened slightly. My own image was reflected in the slightly opened eyes.
\ "Poetry Nai! \"
"A Su Na"
After getting the right answer, she almost cried, but Asuna still held back her emotions and asked Shi Nai.
\ "Poetry, what's wrong? Can we tell us what happened? \"
"!!!"
The next moment, Shi Nai suddenly opened her eyes and wanted to get up, but she frowned immediately and fell into Asuna's arms. Asuna was surprised and confused about her, as if feeling strong pain.
"What's wrong, Poetry?
\ "Yasna, Kirito, Kirito, where are you? \"
\ "Hey, Kirito Jun? What happened to Kirito? \"
\ "Kirito, where are you? \"
If it is Kirito's whereabouts, you can know as long as you expand the contact information window, but now Shima's hands are used to support the body, so they can't do it. However, if it was Kirito, Lifa was calling him, so he should come over according to the situation.
\ "If it is Kirito Jun, Lifa sauce calls him now \"
\ "Hurry up, I have to go to Kirito, Kirito! \"
\ "Wow, Poetry is calm! Who is Kirito Jun!?? \"
Shi Nai shouted at Asuna, looking like she was about to cry.
\ "Kirito will be killed!!! \"
"Well?"
\"Shino!!\"
At this moment, I entered the dim back alley of the Tiandu Line and aimed at a point of running in it. Behind them, Lifa, Lerlans, Yui, Alice, Streya, Jugolt, and Quinoli ran in the same way.
"Why is this?" The beginning was a few minutes ago. In the room used in Alice, I heard important stories about that world from Jieyi. The incident happened too suddenly, and everyone was surprised. After listening to the story, I couldn't help but hold it.
In the back alley of the Rhine of Tiangu, Shi was attacked and could not move. After hearing a panic's report, I couldn't help staying there.
When he realized that it was in a corner of the back alley, he ran straight into the back alley and continued. A dark and humid back alley turned a lot of corners, running between many buildings, screaming in my heart, and hurry up, and finally reached my destination, a slightly empty place.
\ "Poetry, Poetry \"
Shi Nai was helped by Asuna and lay on his back. Because it was dark around, although it was dark, I could still see it clearly, and I immediately rushed to Shi Nai squatting down. Then Asuna noticed me and stopped me.
\ "Kirito classmate! \"
\ "Yasna, I heard from Lifa. What happened? \"
Ason was about to answer, Shina's mouth leaked, and I turned my head in that direction. Immediately after, Shi Nai's eyelids opened, and my image came into her eyes.
\ "Poetry! \"
\ "Chirong people? \"
I do n’t know if I have experienced such a terrible experience. Shi Nai ’s expression on her face seemed to have experienced severe pain, but as soon as I looked at me, I gradually became surprised and stunned, as if it became it.
\ "Kirito Kirito!! \"
"Wow..."
\ "Then Shi Nai got up and rushed to me. \" I was surprised because of sudden, but I firmly supported Shi Nai's body. Soon after, Shi Nai cried in my chest.
\ "Kirito, Kirito!!! \"
\ "Oh, poetic. I heard that you have experienced a bad experience. \"
I hugged Shi Nai's trembling body and slowly stroked her back and back. I would like to listen to the situation immediately from Shi Nai, but soon found that Shi Nai was not qualified to talk about the situation, so I turned my face to Asuna.
\ "Yasna, what happened? \"
"I don't quite understand.
"But for sure, someone attacked you."
"I think so, only the same player can hurt the players here."
"This is real"
I hugged Shi Nai's trembling body and stroked her head. There were many sounds behind me, and I turned around. There, I told me the Lifa, and the Lan, Yui, Jugolt, Jupiter, Streja, Quenera, and Alice, who just talked to me. Deep Alice rushed to me squatting down.
\ "Kirito classmate, I finally caught up with you, but what is this? \"
\ "Alice Sang poetry seems to be attacked by someone. \"
"What did you say"
After Aris was surprised, he turned his eyes to Shi Nai, holding by me. Gradually, his expression became serious. She and Shi Nai have a longer time than me, so as long as she looks at Shi Nai, she can understand her change and state. And I immediately understood Shi Nai's current situation.
"You are scared. It seems that you have experienced a terrible experience but who did it?"
Then Alice approached Shi Nai and gently put her hand on Shi Nai's body. I don't know if she noticed that Shi Nai was trembling too much, and she showed a surprised expression for a while, and then a sad expression appeared on her face.
\ "Poetry, are you okay? Is something wrong? \"
"!"
Then Shi Nai moved her face from my chest to Alice, not far away. When I looked at Alice and Shi Nai, Shi Nai's face gradually approached the crying face.
"Teacher Teacher !!"
The next moment, Shi Nai burst into tears and jumped from my chest to Alice's chest. Eli was not surprised to hug Shi Nai's body tightly, and began to move like me -or more familiar than me -gently stroking Shi Nai's body and head.
"Okay, it's okay, it's okay"
I thought she would say something, but Shi Nai cried just on Alice's chest. Then he walked to us and shouted to Asuna.
\ "Asuna, what happened to his mother? \"
\ "Xinnan, it seems that someone attacked you.
Sure enough, we couldn't understand what the poem had experienced from the narrative of Asuna. It seems that if you want to get detailed information here, you can only ask Shi Nai. However, when I turned around, Shi Nai was still crying at Alice, and she couldn't answer our question at all. It seems that it is necessary to let Shi Nai stay alone for a while, waiting for her to calm down.
But then Lan walked to me and squatted beside me. And whispered in my ear.
\ "Kirito, Poetry, but let me calm down. Now, Shi Nai is being attacked by huge fear.
\ "I thought so too, but how many times have you done this time? Is your ability to use Shi Nai a bit too much? \"
"This is not a ability to cause problems too much.
When Lan was about to say so, Shi, who had almost no words, said from Alice's chest. Shi Nai and I turned around to listen.
"Teacher you, are you dead?"
"Well"
Alice probably couldn't hear it clearly, crooked her head, but Shi Nai raised her face and said her pleading words.
\ "Vashab Casars PU is dead, isn't he died in Eyen Grandte? \"
\ "If it is Vasak Casars!?? \"
I am surprised to be with Lilan. Speaking of Vasak Casars, he is the founder of the Murderer "Smile Coffin · Luther Coffin". It is the red player who kills the most players among all players of Eyen Grandite. Players who are afraid of all residents. It can be said that it is a terrible demon who fell into the abyss.
Although SAO has passed for a long time, I can still remember his appearance and characteristics as soon as possible. This is how much he has left us.
But perhaps because Vasak Casarus has such a unique characteristics, Lerland fell into crazy after being "implanted with \" pseudo -experience parasites \ "by \" breakthrough \ " Wiped out, eventually flowed to Eylante.
Since the name of Vasak Casarus in Shinokou, I have nothing but Lan and I have nothing except surprise. If you look closely, Asuna, who fights with us when he is with us, also has the same surprise expression on his face.
\ "诗 Poetry, what are you talking about? \"
Shi Nai did not answer the question of good friend Assina, but asked Alice for help.
\ "By the way, Vasak Casars died!? \"
\ "Poetry, you mean you were attacked by Washabca Casars? \"
Shi Nai heard that Alice, who was shocked, asked, and nodded slowly. The next moment, Yui and Streya raised their voice in surprise, but Shi Nai continued to move.
\ "The guy who attacked me is a guy who can speak fluent Japanese and English. Therefore, he repeatedly hit me with extremely painful attacks.
"Prince hell." Prince Hell. When these words that were cut into words and arranged the first letter sounded in my mind, the image of this person appeared in my mind.
She has an exotic and mysterious beauty, but she covers her face in a black and green cloak. The tone of speaking is like DJ, and Japanese and English are mixed together.
After the man's appearance was clear, the corner of the man's mouth rose in the image. He seemed to be glad to see me again, saying he was here again.
(never)
At the same time, I remembered what I heard from Yui before. Yes, when I was in Ian Grandte, someone invaded the \ "empty area \", and the warehouses and test areas used by Lilan and Jaqualt, took out the empty data, and released it to Eyerangt.
I speculate that someone in "Smile Coffin" knew the chaos of the "Smile Coffin" in advance and did this to escape the battle, but Shi Nai's testimony and the story were based on this.
—— Even I thought about it like this, and I didn't want it to realize it. I think I also thought of similar things. Lilan, Yui, STREA, and Alice immediately turned to me, almost at the same time shouted my name.
Kirito!
"dad!"
\ "Kirito classmate \"
"I can't help holding my head with one hand." Shi Nai's testimony was real -no, Shi was a girl who would not lie, so she said it was true. Now, the worst assumptions have become reality.
Somehow, he invaded the empty area and collected his empty data, allowing him to go to the battlefield as the avatar, intentionally let him die to misunderstand the monument of his life. Return to the task, return to Green, and hides in Eyen Grandte's releasing the real world while releasing the release of Eyen Grandt.
Moreover, even if SAO is cleared, he cannot leave VR. There is no doubt that he will come to this ALO
\ "Vashab Casars is Vasak Casars survived in that battle!!! \"
Hearing this sentence, the people around him were stunned. If others hear this sentence, I will also be frozen.
no doubt. Vashab Casars survived in that battle. Only one Vashab Casarus survived and fled Eyerlangt in this battle. Then, in order to tell him that he was still alive, he logged in to ALO and attacked Shi Nai.
"Don't dare to believe this fact?" Li Lan said confusedly.
\ "Uh, did the Vasak Casarus at that time were empty data!? \"
\ "There is no doubt that Vasak Casars is the Japanese and English that can speak fluent, and understand the people of us and the world. Using hollow data, he has survived. We are on the same as Yaheheim online! \ "
At this time, Asuna and Lifa, who had been listening to me, watched me and Lilu said.
\ "Wait a minute, what does Washabca Casars still mean? What does Vasak Casars mean in the battle? What are you talking about? \"
\ "Euni sauce, what does Vashab Casars mean?
"... When we all gather together, I talk about this.
I glanced at Acena, who was frightened, and wanted to know if she could understand what was happening and what she said, and then I walked to Shi Nai, hugged by Alice, and shouted to her. Shi Nai's face also showed an incredible expression.
\"Shino\"
\ "Kirito Vashab Casars survived? \"
\ "Oh it seems to be like this. Detailed things will be said again. Also, Shi Nai, what did the guy who attacked you? Please tell me if you can. If it is very painful, don't force yourself. "Talk. good"
My heart is painful, and it seems that Shi Nai reminds of a painful experience, but since Vashabca Casars is a person who attacks Shi Nai, it is necessary to figure out what he is talking about. This guy was unexpectedly gentle, maybe he was telling Shi what was important. ——The moment when I thought like this, Shi Nai opened his mouth.
