After three days, I felt like a doctor or a researcher conducting an experiment. Riran, Yui, and Strea returned to Kirito's computer, Amusphere, and contacted me with a strong sense of fatigue and a sense of accomplishment in mastering something.
"It turns out what Hannibal said was true."
As soon as these words came out, everyone made a sound of surprise. This was exactly what Kirito expected when he told everyone this.
Probably expecting the same scene to happen, Lilan asked them to raise their hands.
"Hannibal said that there is a mechanism in the Nerve Gear that can scan people's brains and convert them into data. It seems that it does exist. Yui, myself, and Strea have actually confirmed this."
\"Yes. You may not believe it, but the 'Neural Gear' that keeps you trapped in SAo, as Hannibal calls it, scans the brain without the user noticing and uses it to collect data. There is Some features can be converted and combined.”
As attention focused on Yui, who jumped into the Nerve Gear and analyzed its contents, a woman spoke. Alice is a former employee of Argus who infiltrated Nerve Gear and created three daughters. She also created Nerve Gear and SAo.
"And, obviously, there's an area to store data. When the Nerve Gear was being developed, I thought there was a storage area that looked like a weird black box, but... I had no idea it had such functionality."
\"Teacher Alice, do you understand?\"
After nodding to Silica, who held Pina, a small light blue flying dragon, in her arms, Alice began to look around at everyone.
"At that time, I was one of the staff of Argus and did a lot of things under Mr. Kayaba. I also participated in the work of the Nerve Gear, which is said to be a revolutionary machine for mankind. I provided the blueprints and basic data, and I saw When I got a lot of them, I secretly saved them and kept them, but I didn’t expect them to be useful in a place like this.”
Alice said casually, but the drawings and basic information of the Nerve Gear were Argus's confidential information at the time, and her taking it home without permission, even for personal purposes, was a serious leak. secret. This is a behavior associated with deafness.
Now that Argus has been disbanded and all the neural equipment has been abandoned, this is not a problem, but if Argus is still alive, it will cause an uproar. Klein and others who worked at an It-related company had cold sweat on their faces, but Alice ignored them and continued.
"First, the 'Nerve Gear' is a machine that covers almost the entire human head and sends special electrical signals that transport consciousness into the VR world. To make this possible, it takes more than just a little bit. A little bit. Power, in order to do something like this in the first place, you have to understand the human brain... I know what you mean."
"brain scan"
In the cafe, the atmosphere was like a meeting at a university or high school. Asuna muttered like a student, while Alice continued like a teacher or lecturer.
\"Yes. In order for "Nerve Gear\" to send people into the VR world, it needs to recognize the person's brain and send electronic signals deep into the deepest part of the brain. So "Nerve Gear has been equipped from the beginning, and its scanning capabilities far exceed those of other machines." "
It seems that Amusphere also has this function, but it is much weaker than Nerve Gear. This is why what we see in ALo looks much smaller than in SAo. As soon as Alice added, Diaber, who is one of the SAo survivors and SAo testers, remembered something. he said.
"Speaking of which, I heard that 30% of the Nerve Gear's weight is made up of batteries. Maybe that's where the power comes from?"
"So that's it, and the electronic pulse that burns the user's brain is also emitted from there. This electronic pulse generator and battery send electrical signals to the brain and identify the user's brain at the same time. I-I was supposed to scan that thing."
The 'neural gears' covering their heads are secretly scanning their brains. As if someone was frightened by this fact, one of them appeared trembling and immediately asked Lilan to take over.
\"Have you noticed anything during your time in SAo, including Kirito? Movement has become easier, the speed of wielding weapons has become faster, and the sense of reality has become greater and greater. You have Have you ever felt like this?”
This was the first time Kirito heard about it, and while he was with everyone, he also remembered what happened back then.
Indeed, as the second half of the SAo guide progressed, I felt that my body was becoming more and more familiar with the world, and my freedom of movement and weapon control were also improving.
However, this may just be familiarity, something the brain is used to. Before I could say these words, my child Yui said these words from her mouth.
"This proves that your Nerve Gear has stored data from your brain. For example, it is cached data from your smartphone or computer."
The computers and browsers we use casually every day have a function that can temporarily save the user's usage information as cache data.
Cache data is stored inside the computer or browser without the user's knowledge and may have negative effects such as compressed capacity, but on the other hand, the accumulated cache data can improve the loading speed of certain websites, videos, etc. by referencing a person Frequently use or display ads that are appropriate for that person. This will allow you to display the following information.
"Neural Gear" also has a similar function. A specific individual uses a "Neural Gear", and the "Neural Gear" will continue to scan the brain of a specific individual for a long time. Everyone's memories and thinking patterns are converted into data and stored in top-secret areas.
By continuously accumulating this information, the "Nerve Gear" becomes a device specific to that individual and is associated with freedom of movement and comfort in the VR world. Yui explained that it was because of this mechanism that they performed a physical examination and calibration upon purchase.
\"So, does Nerve Gear still remember our experience and growth in that world?\"
Lilan, the person in charge of the investigation, nodded deeply to Filia, who looked in disbelief. However, Lilan immediately added something.
"However, the scanned data stored in top-secret areas by Nerve Gear is specific to the user's own data, such as emotional patterns, thinking patterns, memories and other electrical responses in the brain, and will briefly log in and out repeatedly. "Such a cycle is impossible to complete. . In order to complete the data, it must be worn for an extremely long time, logged in, and scanned. "
Then Kirito has a problem.
Akihiko Kayaba, the developer of SAo, the creator of the VR world, and the main director, also used an improved Full Dive System machine to perform ultra-high-power scanning of the brain, turning it into a veritable online presence.
However, as far as I can tell, the machine was only active for a short period of time and the scan time wasn't that long. Despite this, Kayaba Akihiko succeeded in becoming a cyberneticist.
what is the reason behind the scene? Kirito asked the werewolf girl who could be called Kayaba Akihiko's daughter.
\"Wait, Riran. What about Kayaba? Didn't Kayaba say that he became cybernetic after a short scan?\"
"The machine used by Akihiko has been modified to perform the scan of the Nerve Gear in a very short time. The scan time required for the Nerve Gear is many times longer than this."
"Well, then, how long will it take for our Nerve Gear to complete our own data?"
After Klein said this with an annoyed look, Lilan lowered her head. As if Straya was going to continue speaking, she opened her mouth, her usual innocent expression disappearing to a minimum.
"The time it takes for the Nerve Gear to completely convert an individual's emotional patterns, thought patterns, memories, and other electrical responses in the brain into data is approximately 8,760 hours. In other words, it takes a year." "Living in that world This player's scan data is included in the player's scan data for more than a year."
Kirito, who heard the truth, was as speechless as everyone else.
If the "Nerve Gear" is worn continuously for 365 days, it will have the habit of converting the electrical responses occurring in the deepest parts of the brain, such as the user's emotional patterns, thinking patterns, memory contents, etc., into electrical responses. numeric codes and store them. have.
This means that the "Nerve Gear" of any player who has spent a year in this death game, or who has survived to the end without ending the game, has data that can be said to belong to that person.
The "Nerve Gear" was called a revolutionary machine for home gaming, but ultimately became known as the Devil's Machine. Inside, in a storage area that cannot be accessed through normal means, there is a large amount of data that is converted into each individual data, and the amount may have reached the petabyte or even exabyte level. When Kirito checked it, he felt a strong power. Chills ran down his spine and upper arms.
That machine contains my own data, which is now the same as Kayaba Akihiko's. Not just me, if there are other "Nerve Gear" owners, then that owner's data will also be included.
(No)
not only. If a player lived in that world for a year and the game ended, the "Nerve Gear" would contain the deceased player's data.
It is no exaggeration to say that the scanned data is the human soul itself, and the place where the scanned data is located can be considered as the divine domain.
What Hannibal is talking about is how he found a way to enter the sacred secret realm where the player's soul sleeps, and restore part of the soul.
He also said that some players had already finished the game, so Hannibal took possession of the souls of the dead, an act that only God could allow.
I felt like I had been told something unrealistic, so much so that I almost lost consciousness for a moment, but then I heard Rilan's voice, and my consciousness was fixed here again. They must have come up with a similar answer. Looking around, almost everyone gathered in the coffee shop looked pale.
"He said he got the scan data, but he's an ambitious guy and better at hacking and cracking than we are, so he might be successful. The root cause might be salvaging it from the Nerve Gear and exploiting it."
"In other words, killing Hannibal was the right thing to do. Moreover, this kind of scan data of the human brain itself can only be interpreted and reconstructed by people who have lived in this field for many years and have specialized knowledge. This is impossible. Even Hannibal's men couldn't do it.
We should consider that the player's scan data is saved before it is used by Hannibal. "
Alice acts as if she is trying to comfort those around her.
Although Lilan, Jupiter, Yui, and Strea must have existed, they felt nothing when Hannibal disappeared. This shows that they are the same existence as Kayaba Akihiko and the souls of the deceased. . There is no doubt that Hannibal is transformed, completely disappeared, dead.
If he failed to kill Hannibal that time, Kirito stopped thinking midway because he felt that he couldn't stop trembling just thinking about it. Then, Yuuki whispered in a trembling voice.
"So, what happened to that 'Neural Gear'? That 'Neural Gear' that holds the deceased player's data."
"It looks like the government collected it and then scrapped it without asking any questions. It seems like there were people at the institute trying to analyze and dismantle it, but no one could open the black box that Professor Alice mentioned. They don't own it, so They eventually gave up on it."
The story Kaim, who was standing next to Yuki, told was a story he heard from Leafa when Hannibal was involved in SAo.
After the SAo incident, the government recalled all "Nerve Gear" sold at electronics retailers, and the "Nerve Gear" that died in the game over in SAo was also completely recalled and production was stopped. It's actually out of print.
As a result, the 'Neural Gear' can no longer be obtained, and the 'Neural Gear' containing the data of the deceased has been abandoned, and there is nothing we can do. Hannibal may have obtained data on the dead for his own self-gratification rather than resurrecting them.
The nearly 4,000 players who lost their lives in SAo cannot be saved no matter what - Shino must have thought so, she said sadly.
"What a tragic story. Just when I thought I was dead, the scanned data was still alive, but no one noticed its existence, and it was scrapped and disappeared."
"Of course, the Nerve Gear was a revolutionary machine. However, it was discovered too late and we were the ones who could analyze it. If we told the government about it, they would believe it. That's not true.. .... Even if we talk about it now, there is nothing I can do if all the 'Neural Gears' are scrapped."
After Argo finished speaking this sentence uncharacteristically calmly, a heavy silence fell in the cafe.
If dead players exist in the form of data in Nerve Gear, and if we successfully analyze and recover the scan data, they will end up existing like Kayaba Akihiko, and perhaps he can be resurrected.
However, we have no idea how many years it would take to develop the technology that would allow this to happen, and there is no evidence that the probability of success is non-zero, and more importantly, the fact that Kirito\/Kirito still exists, can It is said to be the last "neural gear", and other "neural gears" basically do not exist.
(...)
A figure appeared in Kirito's head, spinning quietly. Its shape and outline went from blurry to clear in a matter of seconds.
A girl who wears a battle uniform with a white and blue skirt, uses a spear when fighting, and has short black hair with a slight blue tint.
The timid girl I met when I conquered SAo. For the first time, I wanted to protect her in my heart, but in the end I failed to protect her and died.
(fortunate)
When I met that girl Sachi, more than a year had passed since the death game started. It will take Nerve Gear a year to complete the scan of players' brains.
Now, if we can successfully obtain the 'neural gear' that Xing is said to have used, and let Lilan and others analyze and investigate it.
At that time, we will take out Sachi's scan data, bring him back to life in the form of Kayaba Akihiko, and perform memory repair/memory defragmentation
\"Kirito, I am Kirito.\"
There was a sudden voice in his ears, and Kirito came back to his senses. When he turned to face the source of the explosion, he saw the person he needed to protect now, the girl he loved, Shino, with a worried expression on his face.
By looking at Shino's face and remembering the face in the real world, Kirito's consciousness is firmly fixed in the present and he is able to confirm the situation he is currently in.
\"It's okay, Kirito.\"
\"Ah ah ah, it's just a little vague. Anyway, everyone, although it is something we can't do anything about in the end, I just want to say this much.\"
\"Hannibal then toyed with the world of SAo itself, but there is no doubt that he had completely disappeared by then. If there were any remains, we would have noticed immediately, but even that was not there. We defeated Hannibal pull.\"".
We defeated the mastermind. No one can threaten them anymore - Lilan said as if she realized this. The atmosphere in the coffee shop was filled with a sense of relaxation, and Kirito also felt this.
That's it. Although I couldn't save the people who died in SAo, I was able to defeat those creatures who played with life, and they are now completely extinct. They no longer have to bear anything related to SAo, and they have accepted everything left behind in SAo.
In addition, "the Seed" created by Akihiko Kayaba, the creator of SAo\"ALo\" and the father of "Lelan", has been downloaded by everyone from large companies to individuals, and many similar to ALo Koko have appeared. Safe VRmmo has been born..
The existence of VRmmo, which was once on the verge of decadence, has survived like the survivors of SAo. And it will continue to develop in the future. Kirito raised his head, feeling happy.
\"Yes, we defeated Hannibal, and we solved the battle with SAo. So, let's play this VRmmo world together!\"
When Kirito said this like an order before completing a mission, a smile appeared on everyone's face, and soon the cafe was filled with "Oh!" It wasn't long before people who loved the game started asking things like "What should I do next?" "What's going to happen in the next update?"
I was worried that someone would still be worried about SAo, but it turns out there is nothing. Just when Kirito realized this and was about to sit on the chair next to him, Sinon stopped him again.
\"Hey, Kirito, there's something I've been thinking about\"
"?"
"That was true at the time, but didn't Quinella disappear recently?"
Kirito and his friends have three navigation elves. The three of them are Yui, Jupiter and Quinella.
When entering boss battles, Kirito and his friends are always guided by these three, but when they fight Seven or Hannibal, Quinella is not Yui's only one, only Yui and Jupiter Especially Yui's guide. Kirito, who knew the reason in advance, said "Ah~".
That was the day before Seven's battle with Hannibal.
Normally, when Kirito logs in, Yui and Quinella would greet him, either "Good morning, hello, or good evening." But that day, only Yui was present.
Kirito immediately noticed the strange situation and asked Yui about it, and Quinella said, "I want to try this mission myself," adding, "I think I can make one to calm Mustang down. mission, and the reward is delicious food." It was explained that he accepted the mission without permission and headed into the wild.
It's too dangerous for Quinella to go out into the wild because she has no fighting skills. Curious about whether this mission was really safe, he investigated and found that it was actually something like an errand mission that even a person with no fighting ability like Quinella could do. At first I felt safe there.
One day later, on the morning of the fierce battle between Seven and Hannibal, Quinella returned with the mission reward materials and entered their so-called hibernation state. As a result, Quinella never showed up that day.
"I'm sleeping, girl."
\"Well, Quinella is still young, and even tasks that are easy to complete are really tiring. I'm not here today. Well, I'm glad I was able to complete the task without Quinella that day.\"
"Yes, but those children are AI after all. They have the same heart as us, they will be tired, and they can enjoy all kinds of things. But AI"
Indeed, the AI made by Alice, such as Relan, Yui, and Strea, are very different from the AI made by ordinary companies. When you get along with them, you will find that they are AI with such a level. So complex that you can easily forget it. More than once or twice, Kirito believed that they should no longer be called AI, but should be called something new.
But what kind of name would suit them? Just when Kirito was about to think, a voice that was not Sinon's sounded in his ears, making him come back to his senses again.
In front of him was a girl with unique long red hair, purple tips, and golden eyes. She was wearing a fairy battle uniform and a headband that was reminiscent of a maid's headband.
Lilan is the real sister of Professor No. 7/Professor Nanello. Since she was rescued from Hannibal, she has never logged into ALo and did not tell him about it for a long time.
"rain"
\"Kirito-kun, are you logging in on the 7th?\"
After the battle to save Seven and Sinon from Hannibal, the two immediately exited, but Kirito then contacted Sumeragi and asked Seven to contact him upon logging in.
Normally, the Emperor would look like he was going to bite if someone said that, but now he readily accepted Kirito's request and agreed to tell No. 7.
However, a week has passed, but there is no news about No. 7 in ALo, and Kirito has not been contacted. Just before going offline, Xiaoqi promised Lilan to tell her the truth, but the current situation is that he has not shown up to fulfill this promise.
"No, she hasn't been here in a week. She hasn't contacted me."
\"I guess the girl was banned from logging in or something like that. She was experimenting with ALo\"
Xiaoyu looked worried. After Seven was defeated by Kirito and others, Huang and Klein shouted to Clover, Clarus and others to continue to be fans supporting Seven. Although there were changes in activities, Seven continued to move forward.
As for Seven, although they did all this, they did not directly harm a specific number of players or the operation of the game, so they just received a stern warning from management and their account was suspended. Become a punishment.
However, Seven experienced something that ordinary players would never experience: being captured by Hannibal. It wouldn't be surprising if this fear persists, making logging in difficult.
"I don't think you need to worry about that. It's all up to you and your time."
“But still”
I believe No. 7 will definitely come - just when he was about to say this, a window appeared in front of Kirito. I stopped midway through my conversation with Lelan and checked the window that notified me of the incoming email.
Seeing the name of the sender, Kirito spoke.
"...It's here!" Kirito, Lilan, and Sinon took Lilan to a certain place. Here is the Voglinde meadow floating island. This is the first venue in the Grand quest and is often used for picnics because the environment here is the most comfortable.
A warm and pleasant wind blew every once in a while. I looked up at the sky and saw floating islands rising from the ground. Sora travels around on big quests, fighting the giant eagle dragon Hrasvelg.
The four of us flew through it wistfully and when we reached a certain point, we landed. There are no monsters nearby that you might need to fight, and you can feel the breeze blowing through your body in the middle of a grassy field without any obstacles.
As soon as Kirito reached there and lowered his wings, he looked around and whispered something.
"Well, it looks like we're faster."
"It seems so. There are no traces of players around here yet."
Hearing Lilan's answer, Kirito turned around, and Lilan had now transformed into what is commonly known as a werewolf form. At this moment, a girl appeared in his eyes.
Lilan, the red-haired girl who flew all the way with us. He is a SAo survivor like us, and belongs to the huge guild "Blood Knight". He is the second president, and has enough strength to be selected as the seventh member.
Perhaps because of this, Lilan always gives people a strange sense of calmness, and that mysterious calmness can be said to be one of her characteristics.
However, there was no such thing for Lilan now. She seemed to be busy looking around, with an obvious nervous expression on her face.
Kirito called softly to Lilan, who looked like a child about to do something.
"Lilan, don't be so nervous. I guess you originally planned to reveal it."
"Y-yeah, but yeah, I'm a little worried."
"Besides, this place is designated by you. If you, an important person, make such a move, I will start to worry."
Liran, who was informed by Shino who was nearby, fell into silence as if she had shrunk.
At one point I almost told Seven the truth, but I couldn't because he was interrupted. It was Lilan who decided to tell this story that only Lilan knew but No. 7 didn't, but he couldn't help but get nervous.
Lilan looked at Lilan with some surprise, but like Shino, she had ears growing out of her head and her tail stood up. Kirito looked around and saw the movements of his familiar, which proved that he felt the presence of something. There were two figures in the clear sky.
The figure gradually got closer, and its appearance became clearer. The first one is a petite girl with long silver hair, wearing blue, gold and white clothes. The second one is a tall young man with short light blue hair, wearing a blue and white battle uniform. Seven is the person he is looking for, and Huang is his follower and protector.
"we are coming."
"!"
Lilan straightened up in surprise when she saw the two people arriving. The long-awaited moment has finally arrived. The day came when Number Seven knew the truth. When Kirito thought of this and looked away from Lilan, Number Seven and Emperor had already landed on the ground and were walking towards them.
\"Kirito-kun, Rilan-chan, Shino-chan Yu.\"
Xiao Qi started complaining as soon as he came in, and Lilan stared at him closely. However, his mouth remained closed and there was no sign of speaking. Lilan, be strong - Before Kirito could speak, Number Seven spoke.
\"Well, although it's very sudden, I really want to thank you this time.\"
"?"
"I was saved by you guys. If you hadn't saved me, I think I would still be out of control and the situation might be worse. So, to all of you who have helped me, I really thank you."
Lilan was surprised by No. 7's sudden words of thanks. Lilan, who survived the SAo world where emergencies occur frequently, should be able to interpret various developments and take action, but she seems unable to interpret Seven's actions.
Seven is closer to the rain.
\"I'm very grateful to you, Lilan. You saved me twice. The first time was when I was caught, you saved me. I really hope that the emperor can come. 9\"
Next to him, Huang's expression did not change at all. He just looked at Kirito and the others like knights protecting No. 7. However, his expression seemed to be the same as usual, but I could feel a trace of calmness in his expression.
Xiao Qi continued.
"So, Lilan, I really appreciate you. Thank you so much for helping me."
Indeed, had he not been able to stop Seven, he would have been in a worse situation now, and it would have been even worse had Seven remained captured by Hannibal. Indeed.
In the end, it was Lilan who stopped all this, so it can be said that Lilan was the one who made the greatest contribution in that battle. Xiaoqi approached such a virtuous man and stopped in front of him.
"That's why I want you to tell me. Why are you helping me? Why are you trying to stop me? I want you to tell me why."
Looking at Lilan who was silently surprised again, Kirito began to pay attention to his surroundings. I wonder if a being like Hannibal will come to interfere again. Is there anyone lurking around here?
I used all my senses to search, but I could only feel the sound of wind and warmth, but could not find any specific person. We are really the only ones here.
No one here disturbs Lilan and others. When Kirito checked and turned around, Lilan was looking down deeply, while No. 7 and Huangdu looked at Lilan curiously. However, about three seconds later, Lilan raised her head, took a deep breath, and saw the image of No. 7 reflected in the golden eyes - she moved her lips.
\"Okay, let me tell you. Even if I say this, you may not believe it if I say it suddenly, but Qise and I are not, Qise is my sister.\"
"Eh!?"
"What!?"
Seven and the Emperor were surprised to hear Lilan's confession so loudly that it seemed to echo around them. This time, things probably went as expected, Lilan smiled bitterly, and Xiao Qi asked with some doubts.
"What did you suddenly say? I am an only child, right? I have no brothers or sisters."
"You might think so, but you'd be wrong. We lived together in Russia as children and then separated when our parents divorced."
\"That, that's true. Nananaro is a family without a father. There is no mother.\"
Listening to Huang's whisper, Xiao Qi nodded and continued to stare at Lilan. The rain also kept spinning the words.
"Nanello was taken to America by his father, and I was taken to Japan by my mother. So, your favorite phrase is privieto, dasvidanya."
\"Yes, yes, but.\"
"The greeting is in Russian. It's the language I taught Nanello when he was still in Russia."
That's it. I remember the last time I dated Shino, when I heard Lilan\Nijika Nijika performing on the streets of Akihabara, Nijika said "dasvidanya" at the end.
At the time I just thought I'd heard it somewhere, but then I realized it was the same word Seven had used.
As soon as Lilan said this, her eyes lowered slightly.
\"I said that, but I don't remember it. Nanello is still young\"
""
Xiao Qi also lowered his head and closed his mouth. He seemed to be desperately trying to remember something, and even Kirito and the others were speechless. But surprisingly, it was the emperor who broke the silence a few seconds later.
"Seven, is it true?"
"!!!"
After making a small sound in his throat, Xiao Qi suddenly raised his head. The expression on his face was as if he had finally found Yui sleeping on the bookshelf, a book called Memory, and remembered the contents.
"Uh, no, I remember, I remember! Someone taught me this word, but that person was not my father, nor my mother. In the end, I don't know who it was, but I have a sister who taught me These words!"
"!"
Qi gently stretched out his hand to Lilan. As if he wanted to touch an ice sculpture, he carefully brought his fingertips close to Lilan.
"Sister, sister, you are my sister."
The truth I always wanted to uncover. At that moment, when she was called the name she had always wanted to be called, a tear slipped from Lilan's still dull eyes and rolled down her cheek. As if this was the beginning, the tears began to flow, and Lilan's expression turned into a tearful face, and finally turned into a smile.
\"Yes, yes, I am your sister Nanello!\"
When Lilan\/Nijika gently opened her arms, big tears overflowed from No. 7's eyes, and No. 7 kicked to the ground.
"Sister, sister!!!"
"Nanaro!!!"
Lilan jumped into her sister's body and buried her face in his chest, wrapping her arms around her petite body just like when she stopped her. Immediately, the two sat down, firmly on the ground, and hugged each other.
"Finally, we finally meet Nanero"
"Sister, sister"
"My name is Kikuta Nijiha and you"
“Nanello Arshapin, it’s er sister!!”
Lilan\/Nijika gently buried her face in her sister's silver hair, not worrying that her sister's hat would fall off when she started to cry.
"I'm sorry for keeping silent I'm an idiot. If only I had told you sooner"
"No I'm sorry for myself. I didn't realize it for a long time and couldn't remember for a long time but my sister stopped me and saved me" everything! ! "
"Yes, you are my sister Yuiichi. As a sister, I can't see you suffering like this. I want to protect my precious sister, so I"
\"Sister, sister!!\"
The next moment, Nanello was hugged tightly by her sister and burst into tears. This is exactly what Kirito and the others saw when they clashed with Nanashi, stopped their experiments, and were reckless. Shino said to Kirito while looking at it again.
"That's good, Lilan and Xiaoqi" "Ah, the matter has finally been resolved. You two are sisters after all, it is impossible to understand each other."
\"Yes, people born to the same parents can understand each other except in extreme cases. However, even if I know this, I am glad that it is like this.\"
Lilan smiled, as if she was deeply emotional. Although the standards are different, it doesn't change the fact that I have four younger siblings, so in order to make my sisters happy, I can't help but feel happy as a person with the same younger siblings.
Since they can do such a thing, maybe Lilan and the others need a different name after all. While thinking about it, Qiselang looked at Lilan from the side. When her eyes returned to the sisters hugging each other again, Qiselang, I started to cry. I stopped doing this and gave my body completely to Rainbow. shelf.
"Being in your sister's arms is as warm as it was then."
"The seven colors you mentioned are also very warm."
Kirito realized in his mind that the two of them were conversing in a very pleasant voice.
When I hugged Shino\/Shino, I felt the warmest and safest feeling I've ever felt. I'm sure it's because they understand each other.
When hearts and minds truly communicate and connect, something is born. This must be the warmth that he, Shino, Erka, and Shichiro felt.
If it can be applied and scaled up, what will be created will be a real 'cloud brain', not what Hannibal planned.
And if the two could create the initial stage, they would be able to continue to be close sisters - Kirito couldn't help but feel like this.
"I didn't expect Lilan to be Seven's sister."
As he said that, the person who approached him was Shichiro's right-hand man Huang, who had power both in reality and in ALo. His face, which originally exuded the solemn aura of a martial arts master, now revealed a look of deep surprise.
"Huang, are you surprised?"
“How do you recognize that and not be surprised?”
"I understand. Why don't you make this public?"
"That's their decision. You know full well that what we do is not up to us."
"Yes." Kirito smiled. Indeed, if the news that Lilan is Xiaoqi's sister gets out, it will definitely become a big news in these days, and search engines will be flooded with blogs written by bloggers to attract visitors. This is definitely a big deal. In fact.
However, all these things should be decided by Lilan and Seven, they can't decide what to talk about publicly or without permission, and maybe Lilan is just a normal person. \/There is a risk that the media will swarm Nijka and Nanero himself.
The best way is not to tell anyone this story - just when Kirito thought this, the seven colors finally left Nijika's chest. Nijika immediately opened her mouth and said.
"You know what, Nanairo. I want you to ask me something."
"Hey, sister, is there anything else you can do?"
"Yeah, actually my dream is to become an idol like you, that's why I go to street concerts to sing."
Kirito and the three people next to him were a little surprised by the new story that suddenly appeared. I only know that Hong is now working in a famous maid coffee in Akihabara and performing live performances on the street as part of the work.
Probably as surprised as Kirito, Qiselang opened his eyes slightly.
\ "Do you want to be an idol too!? \"
"Yeah. Okay, if you let me do it with you, it is true, but thanks to this, I can understand how painful you were at the time."
At that moment, Kirito felt like a light flashed in his head.
Lilan \/nijika has always dreamed of becoming an idol and continued to move towards this goal. Although it has not been reached, because on the road, I understand the sweetness and bitterness of the world, and I also feel the joy and happiness, pain and pain of people who are active as an idol.
And seven colors \/seven. At that time, Nanaro was very active as an idol and scientist, and received widespread attention from the public. As a result, he was carrying the expectations of many people, chose to sacrifice his life and continue to work until he was dizzy.
That's why she can't stand the status quo of Nazaro \/seven, she has become the object of public discussion in the media, and even her private affairs have been plundered and suffered, so Nijika logged in to the VR world as Lilan and then entered Seven Previous home. I go to
She was driven by her sister's natural desire and wanted to help and protect her sister. She continued to fight countless monsters called adults with high expectations.
No, since Nijika is so loyal to his sister, maybe Nijika opened his mouth before he had time to think about what to do next.
"As an idol, success is really not easy. However, I want to sing at the concert scene and excite many people. This is my dream." And, if I can, I also want to sing with you. "
"with me...?"
"Yeah, if I become an idol and succeed, I will come to see you in person, and then I want to sing with you at the concert scene, mobilize the fans of our two sides, and excite them." I think one day I want Sing with you. My biggest dream is to continue every day. "
Kirito was almost surprised because it was exactly the same as he expected, but soon he accepted this.
After all, Nijika's biggest wish is to be able to stand in the same place with her sister and continue to sing in the same way. It is difficult to become an idol itself, but it is not difficult to sit on a flat flatness with Ninao, who is already active as a big idol, but not at all.
However, because I can't give up the desire to sing with Qinairo every day, Nijika pursues Qinairo, sometimes fights for the rescue of Qinairo, and performs on the streets to try to become an idol like Qinairo. .
In order to realize his dream, spend every day with the sister who is alienated.
"So, from now on, I want to make full use of my time. I want to practice and learn a lot, I want a lot of auditions. I am convinced that I will fail many times." At first, my dream of Yi Yi was one day. sing together. I think this dream cannot be changed.
So, nanairo, I don't know how long it takes, but can you wait at that time? "
After listening to Nijika, Qisera immediately closed his mouth. She has become an idol that can match with big idols and continue to sing with them. Normal people will deny this dream with a face, insisting that this is impossible.
Qiselang seemed to have thought of the answer, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Of course! I also want to sing with my sister. I want to sing together, mobilize many people, and let them be excited as much as possible. The day of singing with the sister who becomes an idol is really great. I want it!"
Nijika was a little surprised to the answer to her sister. Nayaro started talking, just like he was talking about machine guns.
"It is very difficult and painful to be an idol, but I still believe that you can reach that level with your ability. I think I can help you if there is a situation, but ... I know you don't need that kind of thing.
So, sister, please don't give up this dream. I'm waiting. I will wait forever, so please see me. "
I have been waiting for my sister's bright smile and expectant words. Each of Nigika listened firmly in his ears. He nodded deeply, and tears poured out again in his eyes.
"Yes. I promise, Nayanro. I will come to you and let you see, me!"
"Yeah! This is an agreed sister, I will wait for you!"
The sisters who once made each other's promise, hugging each other's bodies again, hugging, as if to engrave each other's existence. Seeing that the sisters finally got the first happiness of life, Lilan picked up her arms.
"But, okay, I want to be a real idol, this is a big thing."
"Yeah, becoming an idol is not so easy. If you want to reach the same level as Xiao Qi, that road may be extremely difficult."
Kirito nodded and accepted Shi Nai's strabismus.
Now that I am really determined to become an idol, Nijika \/Lilan will definitely be busy than ever. It may be difficult to log in to VRMMO such as ALO and other VRMMO in the future. It would be difficult to play with them? .
However, Lan, like them, overcame various difficulties in SAO and obtained the ability to become the 7th Cavaliers of the Blood Contract. Among them, Kirito served as the second captain, and Nijika was.
No matter how desperate the situation is, as long as Nijika continues to resist, participates in the final battle, the battle to the end, becoming a SAO survivor, in the near future, she can enjoy the days of being an idol, right?
It is sad that you ca n’t play together, but if Nijika, who survives from that world, can realize his dream of gambling his life, it does n’t matter.
The most important thing is that if it is Rainbow Bridge, there is no doubt that he will be able to realize his dream -Kirito is convinced of this and nodded.
"Rain can definitely do this."
"Yes, I believe Lan can do it."
When he heard Shi Nai's answer, Kirito's face was slightly dignified and looked at a certain direction. A young aquatic man with a light blue hair and purple eyes wrapped in blue and white combat clothes, watching the two sisters embraced.
Kirito called the strongest "trainer" in the former. He may still not stop being his servant after completing the big mission of Swald Yahmheim.
"So the emperor."
"What"
"I have heard a lot of things. About everything about you."
"What?"
When Riran, Yui, and STREA analyzed Nerve Gear, Kirito heard the story about the emperor from Alice who called Alice.
The real name of the emperor is Huangyang Tai, and the commission of Kikaoka Makoto, who is closely related to Kirito and others, has become a quantum neurodyist. The reason why Lilan can get Seven's information is that in addition to the masters of the emperor and Jugang, there are other reasons.
When I told them this, Rilan and Shi Nai screamed in surprise, but the emperor kept calm, as if he had seen all this.
"I understand. Did he tell you everything?"
"Ah, there are a lot of things happening on you, but I am relieved. I know you really love Xiao Qi, and I know you are working with Xiaoqi to promote your research."
"That's it. In this case, I don't need to tell me my details."
"No, yes. What are you doing now?" I was planning to do so. The cloud brain plan was from Hannibal, not only failed, but also Hannibal died. Now planning a blank, what do you plan to do? "
The emperor looked away from Kirito, and looked at his sisters again -exactly the seven -color -openly open his mouth.
"I participated in Xiaoqi's experiments and scientific research as usual, but now the cloud brain is gone, we must decide the next research idea."
"So, does this mean that you will continue to support the No. 7?"
"This is what happened. But next time, we need to do something that will not put too much pressure on Xiaoqi."
The emperor had the expression of martial arts during the duel. At the age of seven, he had the expression of the Cavaliers to protect the princess.
The emperor's current expression is more of the latter, mixed with peace, kindness and comfort.
The young man felt sad that he could only watch the plan of Hannibal, who could only watch the No. 7 seductive in Hannibal, and now the No. 7 no longer needs to destroy himself and relax. He is glad to let Nanarro do his research without force himself too much. This is on his face, but he has no words.
The 7th may continue to work as idols and scientists, but they have three -leaf grass, Cluster, and Sumeragi around them to support them. I believe he can survive and no longer turn the body into dust like before.
"Yeah, I can't let that girl doing reckless things anymore."
\ "You are right. By the way, Kirito, I have something to ask you. \"
The emperor suddenly turned to me and saw Kirito, Shi Nai, and Lilan. When the three of us turned around and wanted to know what happened, the emperor asked us.
\ "Kirito, what do you have to do with Alice? \"
"?"
"What do you have to do with Alice? I want to listen."
Hearing the stupid problem from the bush, the three of us tilted our heads.
Alice \/Serizawa's relationship with himself. The strongest one in this regard is Lilan and Shi Nai.
First of all, Lilan was the first in the artificial intelligence "MHHP" created by Alice in Argus. She can almost be called Alice's daughter.
Poetry \/Poetry is an exclusive patient of Alice, who became a psychiatrist after the dissolution of Agus. He has received medical examinations and treatment for a long time. However, their friendship surpasses the relationship between doctors and patients, and it seems almost there.
Whether in VR or reality, Alice asked Zhuna to protect Zhi Nai. From the SAO era to the present, Kirito has received various advice, advice, blasting, encouragement, etc. from Alice.
Now that SAO has cleared the level, he is a reliable collaborator and companion who occasionally logs to play with us. When the three explained that this was their Erise \/Alice, the emperor was confused.
"Is this really what you need?"
"So, why, is there anything about?"
"That person is the same scientist as us. But he does not do research like us, and he doesn't even want to do research with us. Science for human development. He even said that it was a waste of time and he also said something strange."
Indeed, Alice \/Airi is an engineer who is known as Mao Square Mingyan, and his development ability in AI is also very good. It is precisely because of this skill that he can work in Argus, one of the largest game companies, and can participate in the development of SAO, creating characters such as RELAN and Yui.
However, on the other hand, Ai Li is an unusual person; she does not cooperate with other scientists or researchers to study, nor does she disclose her research results to others. More importantly, in some cases, you can give you some characteristics of your body's characteristics of artificial intelligence created in the name of genetics.
Although they have excellent technical capabilities, they have not specially shared or released. He is a scientist who constantly speaks and does something that makes any scientists laugh. He seems to even inherit the lonely manner of Mao Square Mingyan.
Moreover, in private life, he was a serious treatment, making strange remarks, and even making fun of him. That person is Qin Ze Aili.
\ "Alice Sang is a person who often says. She is an excellent scientist, but she also has a lot of strange side. It is taken for granted that she is not good at getting along with you.
\ "Moreover, Alice said with a serious look at strange words. It is nothing new. As my own daughter, I have been laughed at many times, Kirito, they are all victims. Just like a person.
"is that so"
Emperor's remarks on Kirito and Lilan widened his eyes, but Shi Nai stopped her.
"Dr. Alice is particularly funny, not her patient."
You are the kind of scientists who make fun of her because Alice thinks a good thing. The emperor who was vaguely informed by Shi Nai showed a expression of humiliation as if he had been humiliated. In the end, he regretted saying.
"I'm just laughed, huh? I found that I am still a strange man who can't even understand our scientists."
Kirito thought so too.
There are not many scientists who have the idea that even other scientists can't understand. Understanding the idea of love may be as difficult as the idea of the creator who understands the death game.
In other words, the conclusion that Kirito concludes that if you want to think directly, you will eventually fall into trouble, so it is best not to think carefully.
"Yeah, that person is a weird person, it's best not to worry about it."
"If you meet again in the future, just like that."
All three tried to hold back to laugh at the palace's regret. Immediately afterwards, the sisters who had been holding together loosened their hands, and finally the sister seemed to think of something.
"Yes' sister."
\ "Oh, what's wrong, Nanarro? \"
"This is your sister's dream, but why don't you realize it tonight?" "What? What do you want to start?"
Real World at 8:30 in the evening
On the day when ALO's internal time and actual time were abnormal, Kirito and others postponed the completion of the Swatelph Him mission and gathered somewhere.
The location is located in the casino on the corner of the Jiudong Line. This place is a place where drama and live performances can be held. Its most distinctive thing is that its appearance is inspired by the ancient Roman beast field, but the stage where the performer stands has a different worldview. The installed monitor may destroy the atmosphere.
At the audience, countless players of various ethnic groups gathered, waiting for the upcoming event. Kirito and his friends sat on the audience, overlooking the excited players on the stage.
"There are too many people. What will happen?"
"I heard that it is a live broadcast of Seven, but will there be more people than usual?"
Aisa and Lizbet, who were closer to Kirito, looked around.
It is not others to make this place like such a person.
This morning, Xiaoqi learned that Lilan was the truth of her sister. No. 7 accepted the fact that Li Lan told her and cried and hugged Lan, but in the end she said that she would realize her sister's dream to some extent, and took her sister Li Lan to a certain place. I am leaving.
On the day of the 7th announcement, the 7th announcement of the truth will be held on ALO, and they have been preparing, but after the Lilan incident, they updated the content and said: "Tonight. Performing, this will be a cooperation scene. "
It is said that the live performance alone was already a fuss, but because they also promoted that they would cooperate with special guests, even those who wanted to see unusual gathered together, and the audience's audience seats were full of people. .
"Also, I heard that they are going to invite a special guest. I don’t know who will be?"
"I can't imagine it at all. But I think this is why so many people gather together."
