After understanding this, others began to rush towards the head of the remaining dragon. The three of us, Strea, Alice and Egil, were the tallest members of our group - Strea himself said he was sexy.
Sensing the approach of the three people, Longtou immediately opened his mouth and tried to emit breath from his mouth, but what came out was not the particle beam just now, but something like particle smoke that spewed out. Probably because Cynthia continued to absorb particles on the battlefield, which caused her breathing difficulty. The three of them quickly approached the faucet. The faucet was breathing but was spitting out smoke.
"how about this!!"
"Don't eat me!!"
"Quiet!!"
Immediately after raising his voice, Straya used his light-wrapped two-handed sword to launch a spinning slash at the dragon's head, and finally swung a vertical slash with all his strength. After five consecutive attacks, Alice slashed the front with her sword, sending out a crescent-shaped shock wave. Finally, Egil swung the ax with both hands at full strength, generating a shock wave equivalent to an explosion.
The five-hit two-handed sword skill "Frenzy Destroyer", the long-range attack sword skill "Zangetsu", and the super-heavy attack two-handed ax sword skill "Gravity Impact".
When three heavy blows hit like huge explosions, the dragon head screamed and stopped moving. Taking advantage of this gap, the four people who got closer to the dragon's head were Leafa, Sakuya, Alisalu and Spiegel.
"This is the end!!"
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
"Take it!!"
"That's how I decide!"
Spiegel landed on the dragon's head and shot three arrows in a row, causing the dragon's head to stop moving as if it was sewn together, and then left. Immediately, Leafa swung a powerful slash with her one-handed sword, Sakuya slashed thirteen times in a row with a pleasing skill, and Alisa punched with all her strength, as if to end the attack.
15 combo bow sword skill "Multiple Pursuit", heavy hit one-handed sword skill "Radiant", 13 combo sword skill "Rashomon", super heavy knuckle sword skill "Fatal One" hit\".
The dragon head that had withstood the Seven Swords skill let out a final scream, turned into doomsday flames, and the shell exploded and disappeared.
The God of Darkness in the Abyss, who had lost his two attack methods, glanced left and right, not knowing what was going on, and then turned to face forward. At this time, a figure had already rushed towards the chest where the weakness of the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss' was.
Asuna and Umimu are in the rear, Yuuki and Emperor continue to fight on the front line with their support, and Emperor's "familiar" is a white demon fox composed of four people and one beast. As the five-man team charged, the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss' once again grasped the giant sword in his right hand and swung it out.
"Maybe you used some tricks, but the fact that you can't beat me remains the same!"\"
"Are you going to force me to do this?!"
At this moment, Hannibal conveyed the message with his "voice" and swung his sword. Suddenly, an arm composed of blue light and holding a sword appeared beside the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss'. At the same time as the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss' launched his attack, he cut off the right hand of the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss'.
With a roar like flesh and blood being torn apart, the right arm of the God of Darkness of the Abyss jumped up from the elbow, and the giant sword fell to the ground with a roar.
If you turn your gaze back to the God of Darkness in the Abyss, you will see the emperor holding a long sword in his hand, as if he had just finished swinging it. According to him, this is an original sword skill derived from the lifestyle of Tyr, the god of war in Norse mythology who was revered as the god of war and could continue fighting with only one arm.
The emperor's current posture is very similar to the posture when he detonated Tyr's one-arm.
Huang was strong enough to catch Lilan, who was flying at close to the speed of sound, and used his sword skills. He saw the movement faster than the God of Darkness in the Abyss could lower his sword, and used the oSS that he was proud of. Visited a certain "One-Armed Man of Tyr".
Asuna, Yuuki, and Keim reached the chest of the Dark God of the Abyss, losing even their last means of resistance. He aimed firmly at the weak point that had been deprived of defense by Lilan's 'familiar', and let his weapon shine.
"Seaaahhhh!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
Asuna performed a series of supersonic thrusts, followed by Yuuki, who performed four consecutive slashes while moving horizontally, and finally Kaimu, who performed a vertical spinning slash while rolling forward, causing After six consecutive slashes, I slashed him twice.
The four-hit rapier skill "Kadrapur's Pain", the four-hit one-handed sword skill "Horizontal", and the six-hit sword skill "Kuki".
The three sword skills were sucked into the breastplate of the God of Darkness of the Abyss without any deflection. The armor that was hit was all shattered and made a loud clang.
It was as if a surprise box had been opened, revealing the dark black body of the God of Darkness of the Abyss, and buried inside was a huge light blue body emitting blue, light blue, and white light. Make a sphere.
Clearly different from other parts, seems to be the weakness. This is why the abilities that were originally only possessed by Cynthia and the Light Whale Dragon were forcibly given to the existence of the Dark God of the Abyss.
When I saw her naked face, I felt a "voice" in my head. This was not the husky voice of the Dark God of the Abyss, but the voice of an old woman I had heard many times.
\"Kirito, over there!\"
"Ah, this is his weakness!"
"Yes, but right there!" Shino and No. 7 are over there. There are two people trapped there! \"
I was startled by the voice of my companion below me, and focused my attention on the pale blue core of the Dark God of the Abyss. The core does not have the transparency of a crystal, but is a colour-coated, shiny sphere with seemingly nothing inside.
"What!? Are there two people over there!?"
"If we destroy that place, we should be able to get them back." If he did, his hostage operation would fail! \"
Lilan basically can't lie and can perceive information that we humans cannot. Since Lilan said so, it must be true. Besides, this is also the weakness of "God of Darkness of the Abyss", so my approach is still the same.
When I sheathed the sword, I grabbed Lilan's hilt with both hands and entered the armor canopy covering Lilan's neck.
"Lilan, I'm going to hit you!!"
\"Understood! Kirito, you have been firmly caught!!\"
After nodding, Lilan closed her armpits tightly, sprayed out white-hot energy from the back of the weapon that was fused with the giant arm growing out of her back, and began to fly at an explosive speed.
The expanded space may be due to the interior design. We flew around like white meteors. Not long after, Lilan's whole body was wrapped in white heat and she suddenly changed direction. They began to rush towards the light blue sphere on the chest of the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss'.
Because the speed is too fast, all the surrounding things seem to be in slow motion, and the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss' originally moves very slowly, so it appears even slower. Next to him, the companions who had just attacked him had disappeared, and he found that they had all retreated to a certain distance.
Lilan's move has a wide range and is quite powerful. Even your friends will lose your mind if you get caught up in it. So I pay attention to the people around me when using this technique, but it seems like everyone gets to know us first and then quickly retreats.
If that were the case, I would be able to use the skill without issue. At this time, when I hugged the flying Lilan again, the person carrying me was named 'War God Dragon Gagulaz'. , is the orb on the chest of the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss'. Crash into it. In just one frame, it crushed the chest of the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss', burned its flesh and blood, and penetrated it.
He is the embodiment of a "sharp gun" that chases and pierces his target no matter where he flees.
When Lilan, who recreated the scene from Nordic mythology, penetrated the Dark God of the Abyss, slowed down, and moved to a suspended position, two large light balls were already in my hands. The presence I felt from there was the same presence I felt when I was with Shino and Seven.
Just as Lilan said, I successfully got them back - I was so convinced that I immediately turned to shout to Xiaoqi's sister, one of the two.
"rain------!!!"
The person at the end of the voice was a whale dragon flying in the air. Its whole body was shrouded in a layer of dazzling light blue light because as many particles as possible were accumulated. And sitting on his back was a red-haired girl.
The girl who must have heard my voice raised her head and shouted.
"Cynthia——————!!!"
With an earth-shaking scream, the giant whale received the owner's order and turned its head towards the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss'. The next moment, its calyx opened, and a huge beam of light erupted from the depths of its body, exceeding its original standards.
No matter how much power Lilan accumulated, she seemed unable to release it. It was a beam of light about fifteen meters in diameter.
Almost as soon as it was released, it instantly devoured the body of the God of Dark Abyss, annihilating the contents of the health bar frame by frame, and finally enveloped the space itself in light blue light.
Mixed with a "voice" similar to Hannibal's last scream, a huge doomsday flame, and the "Dark God of the Abyss" exploding into glass fragments.
Lilan’s hidden ace is Li’er, the light whale dragon, and her name is Cynthia. The super-large particle beam breath it released swallowed up the God of Darkness in the Abyss in the blink of an eye, and its health was wiped away.
Due to its huge size, the space itself was dyed light white, and Kirito and others covered their eyes, but when the light faded, the God of Darkness of the Abyss disappeared and was suspended directly in mid-air. It was noisy and the particles disappeared.
The space where Kirito and others were located was as devoid of light as it was after the night-glow bugs left. Kirito felt the silence after everything was over, and suddenly found something moving in his hand.
In his hands, he wore leather-like gloves with two light balls, one silver and one white and light blue. It seems to be data about the two girls Hannibal captured.
Yes, just when Kirito was thinking this, one of the two silver light balls suddenly flew away from Kirito's hand, flew towards a certain place, and then stopped. There, in order to regain her kidnapped sister, the red-haired girl Lilan drove a huge whale dragon into the battle and won.
Yu was surprised to find that she wrapped her arms around it, and the two light balls suddenly emitted light like an explosion until the space was almost dyed with color.
The area in front of him turned white, just like the bleaching fever emanating from Lilan. Kirito couldn't help but close his eyes, but the light was too strong, and even closing his eyelids could only block a small part. of light. what is going on? Just when he wanted to scream in his heart, the light suddenly stopped, like an explosion, and Kirito felt a heavy weight on his hands.
When Kirito opened his eyes and wondered what had happened this time, he recognized the being in his arms.
Her short white light blue hair is tied in front of her human ears, and she has pointed triangular ears on her head. The ears are covered with fur and are smaller than the ears in her werewolf form. The battle uniform is a little revealing, and the color of his tail is the same as his hair, almost like a cat's tail.
Although her appearance is very different from who she is in real life, she is Shino, the person she loves and the person she has sworn to protect her entire life. Kirito was surprised when Sinon appeared like a princess captured by the devil. He stared at Sinon with his eyelids closed while shaking her and calling her.
\"Shino Shino!!\"
Even though I yelled at her, the girl's eyes just wouldn't open. Kirito's mind immediately recalled the scene in SAo when he rescued Sinon who was captured by "Mahabal" - the "Fugitive".
\"Shinon, Shino, Shino!!\"
At that time, I saved Shino through the feat of sneaking into Shino's head, but I don't know if the current situation still requires such a thing.
Or maybe Hannibal performed some kind of mental manipulation on her that caused her to stop waking up.
Shino will never wake up again, isn't this the same as death?
I guess I couldn't protect Shino either.
At this time, Kirito poured out his uneasiness.
Sinon's eyelashes trembled in a way that was different from Kirito's. As soon as Kirito caught his attention, his eyes slowly opened, revealing light blue eyes.
As if seeing the light of the explosion, Kirito stopped moving and could only stare into the girl's eyes. I couldn't even say my name, I couldn't even make a sound. All he could do was look at the girl.
As if noticing Kirito's gaze, the girl's light blue eyes moved silently, reflecting Kirito's image. And her cherry-colored lips curved into a smile.
“Cillito”
This sentence eliminated Kirito's stiffness and at the same time made him feel warm in his heart. Tears flowed from Kirito's heart to his whole body, rising to his chest, throat, and face. As soon as they reached his eyes, they seemed to burst out, but Kirito still held back and looked at Shino. In his arms again, calling.
\"Shino, do you understand what I mean?\"
"Yeah I understand because this is Japanese, people you"
At this moment, Kirito\/Kirito could no longer hold back and rubbed his forehead against Sinon's, whimpering.
This is a unique skin type that only Kirito and Shino can do, and they've done it many times since SAo. Although Kirito knew that he shouldn't do such a thing to the weak Sinon and that he might be rejected, he couldn't stop it.
However, Sinon accepted this and smiled, rubbing his forehead with Kirito's, feeling each other's breath and warmth.
There is only mutual recognition between two people. By the time it was all over, the White Wolf Dragon carrying the two people had landed on the ground, and Kirito also got out of the car from the area where Lilan was, still holding Sinon in his arms. Then her friends closed their wings and descended to the ground, close to her.
The first people to arrive began to shout "Shino", "Shino" and "Mr. Shino". Shino\/Shino twisted her face as if she was responding, but in the end, when she saw someone, she The face changed. I stopped moving it.
The person in front of her was Alice, a former personal doctor who had been treating Sinon for a long time. She never stopped communicating with Sinon even after changing jobs. Alice's formerly emotionless face now bore an expression of great relief and anxiety.
Sinon's voice became swirling as she stared at the face and reddish-brown eyes.
"Alice, teacher"
\"Shino, you understand me\"
"I understand very clearly I understand"
When Alice heard this, a look of relief suddenly appeared on her face. Although Shino is no longer a doctor, she can still be considered a patient of Alice. To be honest, he must have been relieved that he was safe.
"Seven colors, seven colors!!"
At this moment, Kirito heard a loud noise coming from somewhere else and turned around. There was a red-haired girl holding a little girl with long silver hair, and the red-haired girl was shaking the silver-haired girl's body desperately.
The red-haired girl Lilan, the silver-haired girl who successfully rescued Yuiichi's sister No. 7, is now calling No. 7, trying to wake her up.
"rain"
No matter how many times Lilan calls, No. 7 will never respond like Shino did.
Compared to Shino, all parts of Qi's body are underdeveloped, including her brain. I wonder if No. 7 has fallen into a more serious situation than Sinon because of this?
If possible, I would like to run to Lilan's side and call No. 7, but now I have a weak Sinon with me, so I can't do that. As if he understood Kirito's mood, Emperor, No. 7's de facto servant, quietly approached No. 7 and started talking to him along with Lilan.
"Seven colors, seven colors!"
"Seven colors! Seven colors!!"
Huang and Lilan started shouting, and everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Qi. After a few seconds, Xiaoqi's face began to twitch, a faint sound came from her throat, and my voice leaked out.
Yu and Huang stopped in surprise, and No. 7 slowly opened his eyelids, revealing red-purple eyes. When Xiao Qi reflected Lilan's image in front of her, her little mouth moved silently.
"Are you Lilan?"
"Seven Colors"
Xiao Yu hugged Xiao Qi tightly, no matter where he was, he seemed to be in a dream. Great, I'm glad you're safe. Lilan hugged Xiaoqi, tears bursting from her eyes, indicating that she was unable to speak.
Normally, she would glare at No. 7 with an angry expression on her face, as if she wanted to know what he would do to her, but now she just looked at Lilan who was holding No. 7 when she woke up, with a calm expression on her face, without any anger or caution. sign. I'll see how things go.
Kirito and others around him were relieved to see their sister who had successfully protected their precious sister and to see her sister and servant again.
"It looks like both of them are safe."
Until recently, Lilan had been fighting in the form of a wolf dragon named "War God Dragon Gagulas", but before he knew it, he had transformed into his werewolf form, clinging to Kirito and staring at Lilan. Perhaps it was because she was a daughter with many younger siblings such as Jupiter, Yui, Strea, and Quinella, and the way she looked at Lilan seemed to resonate with her.
Considering not only Lilan, but also the entire outcome of this battle, Kirito muttered something.
"Oh, it's so good, it's so good."
At this moment, the sound reached the ears of everyone present. Everyone was stunned as a groan-like sound came from a corner of the dark space like a deep sea.
When I turned to look at the source of the explosion, I saw a blond man, his face hidden behind a mask, wearing a white, gold, and purple combat uniform, lying face down.
Since the SAo era, he has played with the lives of his players, claiming to be the manager of the world, creating various human experiments, and events involving the entire country, and clashed with SAo survivors and their collaborators. Men are the culprits of all failures.
The creature who calls himself Hannibal is so severely injured that he is unable to move from his spot and is in a state that amounts to paralysis.
Seeing this, Kirito handed Shino's body, which was held in his arms, to Asuna who was not far away, and then walked towards her. The distance between him and Hannibal lying on the ground grew closer and closer, the sound of boots getting closer and closer, and finally Hannibal raised his head.
Her face was still hidden behind the mask, so no detail could be seen, but Kirito didn't really notice it.
"Hannibal, your plan ends here. You are the greatest criminal ever caught and brought to justice. You will receive the harshest punishment ever."
The voice was so majestic that even he was surprised, but Kirito ignored it and continued to look down at Hannibal. Perhaps because the 'God of Darkness of the Abyss' turned into a clone and was defeated, the 'life bar' displayed above Hannibal's head turned red, with only a few millimeters left.
"I will not be arrested. I have given up my body. How do you police someone who gives up their body? How do you arrest them? First of all, all the laws now don't apply to me."
If you ask me, yes. If what Hannibal said is correct and Hannibal's current physical condition is that they are aliens whose consciousness has been transplanted into the online world without any knowledge, it is questionable whether the current law applies to them.
Kirito felt a little heavy on his right shoulder. Although he was a little stunned, he was also surprised that he had considered such thorough preparations. The hands are thin and white. At the bottom is a woman with the same plump body as Strea, wrapped in a white coat-like combat uniform, and a woman with black hair and reddish-brown eyes like Yui.
He has been a collaborator since the days of SAo. He was active as Kayaba Akihiko's right-hand man in Argus who founded SAo. He is the developer of ultra-advanced AI such as Relan, Jupiter, Quinella, Yui, and Strea. , and after Argus was dismantled, he became the famous elf, Alice Serizawa\/Alice is Shinon\/Shinon's personal doctor.
"Mr. Alice"
Without responding to Kirito's call, Alice walked in front of Kirito, holding a sword that was more like a long sword than a sword in her hand, and finally stopped in front of Hannibal. Directly below was Hannibal's fallen figure.
\"Your name is Hannibal. You said you are my colleague. You are from Argus like me, and you are also one of Mr. Kayaba's subordinates\"
"Indeed. I know you well. You are at the heart of Argus and SAo's development."
\"I think so. And you secretly plundered our research materials, unlocked the mhhp and mhcp black boxes that even Mr. Kayaba couldn't unlock, and became the manager of the SAo world. That's all. Not only that, just like Mr. Kayaba, he had a way to discard his own body, and he also obtained the data of the dead players."
Alice held the sword, blade pointed downward. It looked as if he was about to thrust a sword into the ground, but instead of the ground, the point was Hannibal's head.
"Even if you were a colleague working on the same game, I can't forgive you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alice's sword pierced Hannibal's head. A hoarse voice like an old man screamed, and Kirito and the others let out a surprised cry.
\"Mr. Alice!?\"
\"Kirito-kun, this guy is no longer a human being. He is a mysterious monster who lives in the online world and looks very similar to humans. If the law and trial do not apply to this guy, then we have to erase him. \"He's here. wrong. This guy's life seems to be related to his 'hp bar'. Yeah, just like in SAo. "
"Can you kill Hannibal!?"
After listening to Kayaba Akihiko's story, I don't know how I would fight or respond if such a being showed up as an enemy.
When Kirito was amazed at the simplicity of the mechanism, Hannibal spoke.
"You want to kill me!? You want to kill me!? If you kill me, you are a criminal, you are a murderer! Besides, what are you thinking about a world without me?" Will it happen?
"Murderer? What are you talking about? You have been dead for a long time, and if the current law does not apply to you, I will not be charged with a crime if I kill you."
Besides, the world is good. Even if you can't manage it, even if you can't manage it well, we can still get along well with each other. "
Alice, who usually talks like Kayaba Akihiko, now talks like an ordinary woman. It means that Alice expresses her deepest feelings. There was clear anger in his voice.
"Moreover, you opened my black box and even those children were in danger and hurt them. You once killed Jupiter. I can't forgive you the most."
\"Hey!!\"
"That's why I'm attacking you. As someone who studied and worked under the same person."
After speaking, Alice pulled out the sword from Hannibal's head and fixed it in the air again. When Alice firmly grasped the handle and fully aimed at the target, Alice made a loud sound again.
“If you want forgiveness, ask the devil in hell.”
When her daughter Lelan said something she could not forgive, Alice stabbed Hannibal's head with her sword again.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The sound of countless rusty gears turning, a high-pitched or not-so-high scream that made it difficult to tell whether it was Hannibal's previous one, echoed in the space, and Hannibal's 'health bar'" The beam of light displayed above the head lost all remaining power and disappeared. Immediately afterwards, Hannibal's body began to gradually turn into white light.
Just when Hannibal, the culprit of everything, seemed to be finally disappearing, Hannibal suddenly raised his head and caught Kirito with his eyes behind the mask.
"——You all killed me as the administrator. The world is about to be reborn in a better direction because of me as the administrator, but the future of this world is forever sealed by your hands.
You deceive yourself into thinking that you are the savior, you have killed the managers of this world and destroyed the future. You are the devils that the old rulers called you! ! "
Hearing this sentence - or more accurately, the voice - Kirito felt a little strange. However, before Kirito noticed, Hannibal spoke his last words.
"Both the real world and the online world are spinning out of control after losing your Admin. I hope you will regret losing your Admin throughout your life. This is my final gift to you all!"
Hannibal said in a mocking tone as he turned his body into white light. Finally, when he turned all of it into light, it lost its shape and disappeared as if dissolved.
In the world of SAo, voyeurs monitor players, sometimes triggering events that take the player's life, and reach out into the real world to confuse the country, and even try to change the social structure itself. The devil can be called a dictatorial big brother.
Just when I was distracted by his daze, my former colleague who had destroyed the demon gently brushed his sword away and put it back into its scabbard.
\"Kirito-kun, I'm sorry. You caused us trouble in the end. As a former Argus employee and a colleague of Hannibal, I feel very sorry.\"
""
\"However, thank you for your cooperation. Thanks to you, I was able to solve the problems left in that world. This is all your credit.\"
As soon as Alice finished her cold words, Klein looked around and then said:
"Is this the end? Has Hannibal's illegitimate son really disappeared?"
"Hannibal's data left no trace. There is no doubt that Hannibal has completely disappeared."
Yui's voice, sensitive to data movements, tells us that the demon's final moments are real. Even after receiving it, no one present made a cry of joy, but sat there as if they had completed an extremely long task or task and were exhausted.
"We finally did it. We defeated Hannibal"
"Hannibal is such a monster. What does he want to do?"
Diabell and Lisbeth were exhausted and threw their weapons on the ground. Others are in the same situation, and they will definitely not be able to leave their positions for a while.
\"However, it is over now and we have defeated the mastermind behind the SAo incident\"
"Now this means there is no longer any threat to Jupiter and others, okay"
Although Filia and Asuna were exhausted, they seemed to be immersed in a sense of accomplishment. Although she looked happy on her face, she seemed unable to move as she fought two consecutive big boss battles with the White Dragon and the God of the Dark Abyss.
However, Kirito moved his body and got closer to someone. When he finally stopped, what appeared in front of him was Shino who was taken away by Hannibal and held by his friend Asuna.
\"Shino\"
\"Kirito\"
Shino asked with a tired look on his face, being imprisoned by Hannibal must be a big burden.
\"Kirito is over\"
"Ah. Hannibal is gone now. It's okay now."
"The battle with Hannibal is finally over"
At this time, Kirito finally felt something.
After Hannibal left, Mahabal, who was probably still operating somewhere, and Vasak Casals, who was Hannibal's subordinate, were unable to move because no one gave them instructions. Right.
The long battle with Hannibal is something we accidentally learn about at the end of "SAo". It ended with the victory of our SAo survivors. ——While I was thinking about this problem, Hannibal’s former colleague Alice walked up to me and stopped me.
\"Sinon, please exit first. Then, Kirito-kun, take Sinon to the local hospital to check whether there is any abnormality in Sinon's brain.\"
"I know. I'll be there after this."
As soon as Alice heard the answer, she immediately turned her head away and spoke. In addition, there was Lilan holding Xiao Qi, who was also captured by Hannibal, and Huang holding him.
\"The same goes for No. 7. I don't know the situation in the United States, but now let's take No. 7 to a big hospital. Emperor, you can do it.\"
"I understand, please leave the real-life Seven to me."
After hearing the emperor's answer, Alice seemed a little relieved. Number Seven looked at Lilan who was holding him, and Lilan also stared at Number Seven.
"Nanello it's okay, I think it's fine, really"
\"Lilan, you helped me again? Why? Why did you try so hard to help me?\"
That's it. At that time, Lilan tried to answer Xiaoqi's question, but was interrupted by Hannibal and was unable to tell the truth. Now is the time for Lilan to tell the truth - thinking like this, I turned my attention to the two of them. Huang Ze snuggled next to Xiao Qi and called him softly.
"Seven, you may be confused by many things, but you can quit now. Then I will quit with you and go to the hospital temporarily."
\"That would be better.\"
"Can you please do this?"
At Huang's request, No. 7 blinked a few times and then turned to Lilan.
"Hey Lilan, maybe I think I'll be back soon. So when I get back, can you see me again? I wanted to thank you and I have something to ask you."
"Yeah, it doesn't matter. I'll be fine. I'll wait for you at the Voglinde meadow. Come and see me."
After the seemingly casual conversation, No. 7 nodded, summoned a window with his weak hands, and executed the logout command. At this time, Shino also executed the logout command, and at the same time, their bodies were enveloped in bright blue light.
When the light was completely generated and both of them confirmed that they had left this world, Kirito felt a strong sense of fatigue in his head, but he still turned to his companions who were fighting alongside him and spoke.
"Everyone, let's go home, we defeated Hannibal." "Fortunately, nothing happened."
After a fierce battle with Hannibal, who could be said to be the mastermind behind the SAo incident and the "Fugitive" incident, the victorious Kirito quit the game and returned to the universe as soon as he returned to the city. real world.
In ALo, where time passes faster than in the real world, it was already dusk when Kirito and others came back, but in the real world, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
After confirming that there was still enough time, Kirito reported to his sister Leafa/Suguha, who had logged out at about the same time, that he was going out as usual. After making some preparations, he went out. I rode the train I usually rode to the SAo survivor apartment where Shinoya lived.
As soon as Kirito arrived at a residential facility that was roughly the same size as the high-rise apartment he usually visited, he immediately went straight to Shino's room. When I rang the doorbell that I had seen many times, the door opened and a girl walked out.
Shinon\/Shinon, the one she loved, was captured by Hannibal and her consciousness was cut off. When I saw that figure, I couldn't help but scream loudly, but I found that Shino was still conscious, she could move normally, and she was ready to go to the hospital. Then, Shino and I left the apartment together. Go to Shino's family hospital.
The location is the Metropolitan Hospital in Ochanomizu, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, where Airi Serizawa once worked. When she brought Shino to the reception desk and asked for a brain examination, the procedure began immediately, and Shino underwent CT scans and other tests as if she were hospitalized, while her waiter Kirito was in the waiting room. .
About an hour must have passed since then. Shino came to the waiting room, looking a little tired. When I asked him about it, he said all the tests had been completed and the results would be available soon.
Shino's words were the same as before, she said that she could remember all her memories except the one when she was captured by Hannibal, but since she was captured by something like Hannibal, there must be some kind of disorder. . There might be something going on. Just left.
Since Kirito's worry seemed a bit excessive at first glance, Sinon's name was called out over the radio. I hope nothing happens. With that in mind, Shino and I went to the examination room where the doctor was waiting. When I talked to the male doctor waiting there, the results finally came out.
The contents are unremarkable. Shino's brain has no abnormalities such as atrophy, scars, or disorders, and is said to be in a completely normal state. There appeared to be no memory loss and no disturbance of consciousness.
When Kirito received the doctor's report that Shino's brain was completely healthy, he felt a huge sense of relief and was overcome by a feeling akin to weakness. The scene was so exaggerated that it surprised doctor Shino, but Kirito quickly came to his senses, thanked the doctor, paid the medical fee at the reception desk, and left the hospital.
I don't remember much about what happened after that. When I woke up, I had returned to the SAo survivor's apartment, which was the room where Shino lived. When Kirito confirmed that Sinon was in front of him, he was struck by a strong sense of powerlessness again and sat on the floor.
It was near the center of the living room where Shino and I spent time together.
"I'm glad you have nothing."
\"sorry that I had you worried\"
Sitting in front of Kirito, Shino looked apologetic. Although he had seen this expression many times, Kirito felt something akin to joy at being able to see it correctly.
From the moment he quit until he went to see Shino, Kirito could only think of Shino, and his heart was full of uneasiness.
He was kidnapped by a terrorist named Hannibal, who was more cruel than the "Fugitive". His brain was connected to a machine, so the "Fugitive" plan became a reality. I guess that's it.
I wonder if Shino's memory is confused this time?
In other words, Shino's own memory has disappeared.
Those increasingly intense feelings of uneasiness and worry, like black water, continued to accumulate in Kirito's heart, showing no signs of abating. Even now, Shino is right in front of me, still firmly calling my name.
(...)
However, the reason why this happened was because I couldn't move at the time. If he could move and protect Sinon when Hannibal suddenly appeared, Sinon would not be captured by Hannibal and would not be in danger.
In the end, I was the one who put Shino, whom I was supposed to protect, in danger. When I felt a sense of helplessness, remorse, and worthlessness, it turned my relaxation and calmness, and a small voice passed to my ears. ta.
When I looked up, I saw the girl I should protect with a smile on my face. The girl said in a calm voice that her eyes reflected the eyes of Kirito.
\ "Thank you, Kirito. You helped me again \"
"?"
"I don't remember what happened when I was caught, but I was really scared. I was afraid that I would be caught again and again, and my body and mind would be destroyed. I lost my consciousness." I have been thinking that until it disappears. "
When Shi Nai lowered her head, the shadow fell on her face.
During the SAO, Shi Nai was captured by Alberti \/菅 在 (even Hannibal's entity is also known as the "escape") and became the object of cruel human experiments.
Alberchi was caught by Hannibal, Hannibal turned him into "Mahabar", and eventually turned him into a "escape", which was enough to remind him of that time.
\ "But at the same time, I also believe that if I become that way, you will definitely come to save me. Even if I get caught, Kirito will definitely come to save me. I believe it."
Shi Nai's face appeared again on her face, and Kirito felt warm cheeks. Shi Nai stretched out his hands and gently held his cheek.
\ "So when I opened my eyes and saw you, I felt very happy. After all, you came to save me. Kirito knew he was here to save me. .”
Shi Nai smiled softly and said with Hong Liang's voice.
"Thank you very much for saving me and always protecting me. You are a real hero for me ... The place I need to be next to you is by your side."
After listening to every word of the sound carefully, Kirito gently held Shi Nai's cheek with his hands.
Shi Nai's hands are as slender as art, white and snow, but give people a solid feeling of core forces. By touching things that had been touched many times, the warmth gradually spread to his cheeks and hands, and finally became confident in Kirito's heart.
The girl he should protect, the person he loves, Asada Shima, is now in front of him. Although I failed to protect her at the time, I rescued Shi Nai. I can let Shi Nai go back to where she should go.
There is no thing that poetry is stolen by Hannibal. He has never lost the person he loves, and he should protect it. When he realized this, Kirito had grabbed Shi Nai's delicate body with his arms and buried his face on her shoulders.
"This is taken for granted. My life belongs to you alone, and I will continue to protect you. If something happens, I will help you. I will never let you go."
"Yeah, too, I don't want to leave you, I will always be with you. From now on, I will stay with you, it's my most peace of mind"
As soon as Shi Nai answered, he held Tongren's back with both hands, buried his face on his shoulders, and immersed in his warmth and aroma.
Under normal circumstances, we will think that we can push our lips together or do more, but strangely, neither of us feels like this.
They just hugged each other, as if inspecting each other's warmth and existence. Although it is simple, it is enough for two people now. When he embraced the person he loved and surrounded by their warmth and smell, Kirito was convinced.
Poetry is going to rely on herself. His dependence on me made me only dream of him in a dream. But this is not only so on poetry, the poem who loves him is the same, and he is also the same for love poetry.
In my eyes, I always only see the girl named Asada, and I don't want to see other women. And once what happened, he would put Shi Nai first, worrying about what danger she would encounter, and even thinking about what would happen if she lost her.
The most important thing is that he feels that it is more comfortable to rely on poetry than anything, and he depends on Shi Nai. In the eyes of outsiders, their relationship can be described as distorted.
However, I no longer care about this. For me, this girl named Asada is my most important person, my partner I decided to guard my life, and the meaning and mission of my life.
Although it is a dependence and dependence, poetry is the fact that I love, and the fact that people who love me cannot be shaken.
I will always guard Poetry, grow old with her, and create a variety of memories with her. This will never change, and I have no intention of changing. If someone constitutes a danger to Shi Nai, he only needs to push them away.
Thinking of this, Kirito held poems tighter and put his face on Shi Nai's shoulder.
About three minutes later, the two ended their long hugs and looked at each other silently. Perhaps because the location is relatively high, you can't hear the noise outside. Unless the two speak, the room is surprisingly quiet.
The first one to break silence was Poetry, she seemed to have just thought of something.
\ "Think about it now, when Kirito was captured, you fought with Hannibal, right? \"
"Huh? Ah, yes."
"Hannibal, have you ever said something about me?"
Although they were almost fully fighting for Hannibal, they also heard of Hannibal's purpose, but Shi Nai knew nothing about being captured by Hannibal.
The Corolutin, who realized this, told Shi Nai as much as possible in Hannibal's extremely fierce battle and the purpose of Hannibal. Everything, including I don't want Shi Nai to go.
After listening to the story, Shi Nai has not changed, but at the end of her expression, her expression suddenly stiffened.
"I am a unique emotion, so he treats me like this"
"From his statement, it seems like this. He said that because you have extremely unique emotions, you need him" I did it. It seems that he wants your emotional data as part of his plan to make himself a world manager. "
"Why"
This is also the most concerned thing about Kirito. Even if she defeated Hannibal, she still did not understand why Hannibal wanted Shuna's emotional data.
Hannibal said that to be the manager of the world, it requires extremely unique emotional data, but in some extreme state, we have experienced extremely unique emotions and should be applicable. have. Therefore, they should be able to aim at any SAO survivor.
However, Hannibal took away Shi Nai \/poems and tried to collect her emotional data. The reality is that Hannibal had disappeared before I wanted to ask the reason.
Kirito believes that if such a thing happens, he should interrogate him and even torture him and find out the reason.
"I don't understand. But since it is Hannibal, it is a stupid thing anyway. He wants to use you to do something stupid."
\ "I can use that kind of thing \"
Shi Nai's face covered a deeper shadow.
Although I really want to deny Shi Nai's words, Hannibal just took away Shi Nai and Nairo, which proved that there were things that could not be discussed alone between the two.
Although unforgivable, Shi is indeed necessary for Hannibal's plan. However, before he thought about what he wanted to do next, Kirito put his hand on Shi Nai's shoulder.
\ "It doesn't matter, Shi Nai. He is dead. I think his plan has been completely destroyed. Wasack Casars and" Breaker Runaway Man \ "must have lost their boss and mistakenly entered a walk. . \"
""
Although she couldn't see it, Shi Nai's body was shaking slightly. Whether in the whispering era or Hannibal, they tend to go with poetry.
Indeed, Poetry has experienced worse things than other girls, and even suffers from post -trauma stress disorder (PTSD). So it seems that their goal is poetry, and may appear again that someone trys to take Poetry away.
Kirito obviously felt that Poetry was obviously afraid of this now. In order to offset this impact in some way, I constantly rotated my words.
"So they won't chase us anymore, nor will they try to take you away. So it doesn't matter."
"At that time, you will protect me and help me."
\ "You have already said so for a while. I have no intention of forgive those who are targeted at Shi Nai for this reason. If anyone wants to take you away, I will only protect you from hurting. So, it's okay now. Shi Nai"
When I said this in a gentle tone, Shi Nai's stiff face was loosened and smiled again.
\ "I understand. I will also be taken away, but if I can't help me, please help me, Kirito."
"Please give it to me, my own princess."
After Kirito answered, Shi Nai slowly leaned forward and entrusted the entire body to Kirito. Kirito accepted this with all his heart, holding Shi Nai's body with his arms again, hugging her, and starting slowly and gently to touch Shi Nai's soft and delicate hair.
\ "Hey, Kirito I don't want to leave you for a day today. One day, I want to know if you want to stay overnight. \"
"I think so too. Today, I don’t want to leave your request and I swallow it."
"Forever, never leave me. Just one day, stay with me forever"
"Yes"
After telling each other to confirm their feelings, the two quietly stayed away from each other's bodies. At this time Shi Nai's body had stopped trembling, and the evening sunlight spilled into a quiet room.
It was already five o'clock in the evening. Under normal circumstances, I will still log in to ALO to play. This is also the time of preparation for dinner at straight leaves (and green, if she is at home), and the SAO survivor who lives around her own surrounding she wants to buy dinner ingredients.
Speaking of Shi Nai, she probably stored food in the refrigerator properly, but she was all alone, and for Kirito, the food was not enough. Kirito realized this and asked the Shi Nai in front of him.
\ "By the way, Shi Nai, what is the ingredients for dinner tonight? \"
"Sorry, I didn't give it to you, I have to buy some."
"I think so. So, let's go together."
"Yes"
When Kirito saw Shi Nai nodded, he stood up. Similarly, Shi Nai stood up and started to prepare again.
Perhaps thanks to the help of Kirito, it was done in less than three minutes. The two went out of the room together, left the apartment, and went to Shinai to go to the city center supermarket.
The two came along the way, and they had already looked like a couple.
Successfully defeating Hannibal a week later
During the holiday, Kirito logged in to ALO and immediately went to a coffee shop, where he met his friends. Time is 10 am, which is relatively early, but the Square Square of Tiantu Rhein is still full of countless players.
I passed through the crowd, through the square that similar to the venue, and the scene reminiscent of SAO time, I finally arrived at the destination -a coffee shop. I finally arrived here.
When I opened the door, I found that about 20 fairy of the fire lizard, water, dwarf, elves, little devil, fairy, Splegen, Katecis, etc. As if talking about something. doing.
They are Kirito's invincible companions, who successfully completed the big mission of Swadiahhhmm, and even survived in the battle with Hannibal, but was not considered a guild.
Among my friends, the fastest noticed that Kirito arrived and waved loudly. Like Kirito, Liz Bate, like Kirito, and continued to work in the work of blacksmith like SAO.
\ "Kirito, Hey! \"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I think I'm so anxious."
Not just Liz Bate felt dissatisfied, almost everyone was dissatisfied.
The day before yesterday, with the help of Yui, Rilan, and Alice, Kirito \/Kirito successfully achieved a certain result at home. At about 9:45 this morning, he asked his friends to go to the coffee shop to gather. For me, I stood up and took the corresponding action.
However, due to various strange factors, the login of Kirito \/Kirito was delayed for more than 15 minutes, and finally only the person who made the request was late. Noda. Although the straight leaves living with her can be logged in.
Although it is only 15 minutes, it is only 15 minutes. No matter what I say, I can't change the fact that I let my friends wait for a long time. In order to allow friends to see themselves, Kirito lowered his head and passed through the cafe, and finally stood at the position of everyone in the room.
Although each person's sitting position, standing posture, leaning on the wall, etc., all members of the time were still gathered here.
The lords of the elves and the Cavalis territory, Ye Ye and Elisa, and the servants of the No. 7, are probably busy, but there are no other SAO survivors, which is also very convenient in a sense.
After completely confirming this, after recognizing the four people including Lilan, Yui, Strey, and Alice, Kirito said with the voice that everyone could hear.
"Sorry again, it's late. The reason why I let everyone gather here is because there is something to tell you."
\ "I understand, but Kirito, what did you catch? \"
As soon as Kirito received the question of the best friend Kam from real life, he began to speak, just like the answer he tried to output him with his daughter and his mother, and remembered it in his mind.
After defeating Hannibal and frustrating his plan, Kirito \//Kirito brought dawn for the tools that had been sleeping at home.
Although it was sold as a revolutionary machine that can create a complete virtual world, it was later discovered that it had the ability to trap people's consciousness, or worse, to kill them by burning their brains through electromagnetic pulses, so they were called For the devil machine. Full diving machines that have disappeared from society due to the government's order to recall all machines.
The machine known as "Nerve Gear" involved them in the SAO incident and killed nearly 4,000 SAO players.
There is a hidden real function, and the user does not know at all -this is the developer of Nerve Gear and a former employee of ARGUS told me. Since Hannibal rejected him, Kazuto has been obsessed with the truth, and his mind has grown to the point where he must be clear immediately.
\ "Nerve gear \" is a very special machine. Even with the technical capabilities of the state -owned research institute, it cannot fully analyze or decompose it. However, this is because we continue to deal with things from the outside. If we handle things from the inside, we should be able to get something.
Kirito immediately had this idea, and decided to analyze whether it had real functions. Based on the important information of leaking SAO, he escaped the government's hunting, took out the Nerve Gear in his room, connected to his personal computer, and focused on Lilan who was good at analyzing and hacked attacks. Girls who do this can enter Nerve Gear and analyze it.
In the process of analysis, Alice \/Airi, who had a rare opportunity to talk about the matter, talked about the matter. Airi said that she would also find information about "Nerve Gear" and began to investigate her own. give.
Alice, like Hannibal, is the former staff member of Argus, and the creator of super high artificial intelligence Lilan, Jupiter, Quenera, Yui, and Streya. Airi herself and the super advanced artificial intelligence developed by her are analyzing, so I believe it will have hopeful results.
