The collaboration with "SA:o" was tasteless to Seven. The reason I accepted and participated was to pursue the technical possibilities of full diving.
Kayaba Akihiko commissioned Kirito and his friends to spread the free software called "the Seed". This made it easy for anyone to create virtual worlds, albeit with conditions, and began an era in which countless VRmmo's were born.
Among them, what possibilities exist in a world that also uses "the Seed" and reuses "SAo" servers and data? Seven said he agreed to add his name to the development team out of curiosity as a scientist pursuing this goal.
And it was No. 7 who extended the invitation to Kirito and others who had a deep connection with him. Give me an address where I can get permission to participate in the "SA:o" closed beta.
At first glance, you can't help but feel happy that you can play newly released games as quickly as possible, but on the inside, the founders are the ones who lock up innocent players who log in at will and monitor them at all times. Go to a world very similar to "that world", where someone is in charge who can kill you at any time.
No matter how many invitations No. 7 sends out, Kirito and other gamer friends will feel worried after receiving the invitation, and it will be difficult to take the first step to open the seal of approval for the new game's closed beta. Don't do this. Even Kirito can choose to decline the invitation and tear it up, or he can choose to ignore it and flee to ALo.
However, Kirito and others made up their minds and decided to jump into SA:o, a world very similar to that world.
Because we all have a common feeling in our hearts that Seven is pursuing the possibility of full submersible technology, but more importantly, for us, it is another real world that is very similar to "that world". 'Being able to go to a strange world is a desire for knowledge.
"That world", known as the devil's game and the devil's world, is indeed well-deserved. Sometimes I see people dying in front of my eyes, and sometimes I get scared that I might actually die.
However, they did continue to live in that world for two years and build something solid in it, as evidenced by the fact that the SAo survivors could play together. Kirito and his friends didn't want to deny this, so they clicked on the address on invitation number seven, downloaded the SA:o beta application into the Amusphere they were using, and set off.
Reality Fusion Network - This name is taken from the initials of "Reality Fusion Network", which is very similar to the stages "Aincrad" and "Ainground" in "Sword Art Online".
When Kirito and his friends land on the "Aing Ground" (commonly known as the lobby in other VRmmo), they are in a city that exists at the starting point.
A frequented city in Aincrad, it has everything you need to start your adventure.
This is also where the bells are rung for the start of the abominable game of death, and where the rituals that teach people to have a steward of the world are held.
The hotel in the town is called "Star City" for short. It is the largest stronghold of "Ange Land" and is where Kirito and others currently live.
"Ah, what just happened is crazy."
"Well, that's really clumsy, isn't it?"
Kirito and Shino lay weakly by the lake. In a corner of the meadow, the grass was lush and the blue sky seemed to stretch forever. They kept breathing, as if to stabilize themselves.
\"Even I can defeat something like that\"
\"Yeah, even if you and I become human dragons, it wouldn't be good if our levels are so far apart.\"
Kirito lay on the grass as soft as a luxurious carpet and turned to face the owner of the "voice" echoing in his mind.
Its huge body is more than five meters tall, covered in white-gold fur, with a golden mane like human hair on its head, a holy sword-like horn on its forehead, and a raptor on its back. A dragon with a wolf-like outline and huge wings similar to its kind sat next to the two, breathing equally heavily.
Before I could say the name, Shino, who was sitting next to me, stopped me.
"But I didn't expect this to happen. Has the game suddenly become too difficult?"
\"SA:o\"It is said that it is distributed over an extremely vast land, but perhaps because the closed beta has just begun, and the game itself has just begun, so it has not been transferred yet. Entering through the gate is a place called "Lystria Steppe".
In a large hotel in the capital of origin, Kirito reunited with his friends who had gone through hardships in the past, and teleported to the Lystia grassland with Sinon and Lilan to investigate the site and collect items. Go out and find a place.
It's a bit like the grassland on the first battlefield of Aincrad. It was once the starting point of the game of conquering death, and many people died.
Seeing this scene, Kirito almost recalled his time in Aincrad, but when he remembered the title of this game, he canceled it and regained the essence of the world itself.
This world is not "SAo", but a game whose name and scenery are very similar to "SAo". This is a game that makes us feel more empowered and more relaxed than ever before. Although it's still in closed beta, this is just a game that will one day be released to the world.
With this thought in mind, Kirito set off towards the Great Plains of Reustoria, calming down Shino and Lilan who were nearby.
The three of us walked together in a nostalgic yet fresh landscape, bathing in the warm breeze, occasionally beating monsters, and occasionally sitting on the grassland, just like we did in SAo. The search was extremely uneventful, but cut short when they arrived somewhere.
"The plot enemy "Spectral Treeman" has appeared! Surrounding adventurers, please evacuate to a safe place, or join us in the crusade."
Suddenly, Kirito, who was regarded as the captain by the system, saw the warning, and a window with such a message appeared. At the same time, Lilan moved her ears as if she sensed something, and turned her gaze a little further. Just when Kirito and Sinon turned around to see the situation clearly, they discovered the reason for the alarm.
A little far away from us, a huge shadow appeared. The total length is about seven meters, and the branches extending out are human arms, legs, and heads. The human head also has some insect-like eyes protruding from it. It is a tree dyed purple.
Not only Kirito and Sinon, but also Lilan was not surprised by this appearance. The human-like tree monster - commonly known as "Trent" - often appears in fantasy works such as this game, and also appears multiple times in "SAo" and ALo, where they also encounter and fight each other.
So when they saw a tree turn into a human form, they were not surprised, but the three of them were surprised in different ways.
On the tree man's head is the name 'Spectral Tree Man'. Displayed at the top is his name and four 'health bars', but the level number displayed next to his name is ninety-six.
Just now, Kirito and others were still at the initial level of level 1, but by engaging in light battles with enemies around them, they accumulated experience points and leveled up. Although he successfully increased the number to three, the level of the torrent of ghosts in front of him was more than thirty times higher than his.
For players new to this game, there are monsters that shouldn't be on the field. Just when he was surprised to see it standing on the field with an indifferent expression, the level 96 monster's eyes fell on Kirito and attacked him with a bang.
No matter how many difficulties we overcome in "SAo" and "ALo", we are still at level 3, and our weapons and armor are still in their infancy, so we have no way to face them. If you are hit, you will definitely return to base and respawn.
Full of hatred, Kirito gave the order to the level 96 monster and ran at full speed. Along the way, they were discovered by wild boar, plant, and bee monsters of the same level as themselves, but they ran away without hesitation.
As for Lilan, he was running away. Unknowingly, his form had changed into a "familiar" form, but he just ran with Kirito and Sinon and did not fight against the tree people who were chasing him.
After this escape drama ended, Kirito, Shino, and Lilan arrived at the current location, an area called "Lake Styasiel". He managed to escape the eyes of the monster that killed him the first time.
However, this does not mean that Kirito has no experience in such tasks. Even in \"SA:o\"'s original game \"SAo\", missions suddenly appearing on the battlefield are commonplace, and it was also a common thing in previous mmoRpGs.
The previous missions were probably similar, but the level could be said to be too high. Is this a configuration error or was it added on purpose? If the latter is true, it's clear there's malicious intent or mischief toward the person initiating the game.
"Maybe the mission that just happened was a mission that happened on its own in the wild. But I didn't expect them to prepare something like this from scratch."
\"It's not a death game at all, but it's in poor taste.\"
After answering Sinon, Kirito looked at the owner of the "voice" echoing in his mind again.
"Floating City Aincrad" is the source of this "Ainground". Ever since they met in the game "Sword Art Online", they have been fighting together, overcoming difficulties, and supporting each other.
After completing Aincrad, Yui becomes a wolf dragon who lives together as a family. Kirito looked at the creature named Lilan, and what particularly caught his attention was its fur. Lilan's platinum fur shimmered with the colors of the rainbow, and his body was bathed in the light of the newly setting sun.
The grass he was lying on was soft and soft, but the white fur was even more fluffy. It was almost as comfortable as a luxurious blanket or something. He could fall asleep immediately by leaning on it. In fact, he often slept on Lelan's fur while in Aincrad.
Now I'm tired from running and want to lean on that fur, but the reality is I'm just as tired. Even though they are tired, they may be even more tired if they lean on us.
Perhaps because of this, Kirito decided to endure it on the grass. But at the same time, I felt a sense of relief.
"That's true. Anyway, Lilan, it seems that you are really showing your anxiety."
"That's it. And you must have been resurrected as well\"
\"Ah\" Kirito retorted with a smile.
This \"SA:o\" was created using avatar data used in the free software \"the Seed\" and \"ALo\" also developed by \"SAo\" developer Akihiko Kayaba - strictly speaking Say, I was able to log in by converting "I've been using this since SAo".
By using this function, although some data and numbers were reset, I was able to land on the land of "SA:o" with the avatars of "SAo" and "ALo", but at that time, it seemed that "ALo" The "familiar" used was also converted, and the information about the "familiar" owned by Kirito was also applied to Liran.
Like "ALo", Lilan appears in "SA:o" as a "familiar" in the form of a werewolf and a wolf dragon.
The moment he logged into SA:o for the first time, Kirito realized something. The blue meter at the bottom of the "hp bar" and "Sp bar" that only exist in "SAo" - I don't know the name, so it was called the "human and dragon meter" at the time. - But it happened again.
This fact was the most surprising thing for Kirito, and it was also something that made him happy.
"Does this mean that the relationship between you and me has returned to normal?"
\"That may be true from a systems perspective, but nothing is backwards.\"
Rui Ran's appearance in "SA:o" changed from "SAo" to "ALo", while retaining the concept of "Wolf Dragon". The way he looks now is very similar to the way he looked when he first met Kirito in SAo "Stegoryu".
However, there are some differences. For example, the wings, which were associated with the word "dragon wings" at the time, are now covered with feathers like angel wings, and golden manes have appeared on the heads. It is difficult to say that the situation has completely recovered. It's what it used to be.
Just like that time, Lilan obtained the 'One Dragon Rule' and her appearance returned to that of a wolf dragon, but what he said was right.
"Yes, we are still moving forward, this game is also a closed beta for a new game, we will not come back"
Kirito paused for a moment before finishing his words, and then turned to the girl sitting next to him.
Although her outfit is different. She wears a relatively revealing combat uniform with yellow, green and blue as the main colors, and a blue scarf around her neck. However, her black hair is longer than short hair, and her temples are curly, which is very distinctive. The hairstyle tied with a white ribbon is almost exactly the same as "SAo" in the real world.
Kirito met Yuiichi by chance during SAo. From then on, he fell in love with her, wanted to protect her, and vowed to spend the rest of his life with her. In the real world, she is Shino Asada, and in VRmmo, she is a girl named "Shino". Kirito's eyes almost reflected her whole body.
Sinon tilted her head and looked at Kirito. Although she was also the one she loved, she probably felt strange when someone suddenly noticed her.
\"Kirito, what's wrong?"
""
Although Sinon's eyes reflected his own shadow, and the color of those eyes was different from his own, black, beautiful and cute, Kirito didn't pay attention.
At that time, when Sinon was forced to log into the Devil's Game by a villain who called himself the administrator of SAo, Sinon was given something special.
In a world where only one-handed swords, rapiers, daggers, greatswords, curved swords, spears, one-handed clubs and other weapons that can perform melee attacks exist, this weapon can perform long-range attacks comparable to one-handed swords. Lilan's Breath, a unique skill that allows you to "shoot" with a bow.
It is an innovative, undiscovered weapon that constantly stands behind, pulling the bowstring at the right moment and firing arrows to attack. Not only Kirito, who can only use one-handed swords and dual-wielding swords, but also the informant has no relevant methods to deal with it.
A set of weapons and skills that no one has used in SAo. Despite being randomly given a weapon that she didn't even know how to use, Sinon was able to use it brilliantly and became known as the Tactics Team of the time for her long-range shooting and enemy-killing fighting style. Defender, support Kirito and the others from behind.
Moreover, Sinon's archer skills also improved day by day, eventually reaching the level of No. 5.
Kirito also received great help from Sinon's "shooting skills" which were said to be the fifth strongest in the "Blood Pact Knights". The memory of that time is still deeply engraved in his mind.
Even after crossing the world and coming to "ALo\", Sinon continued to fight with a bow and arrow, but the situation completely changed after coming to "SA:o\". The thing on Shino's back was changing shape.
Shino had always carried a bow and quiver on her back. When I landed on the land, there was only one spear.
When I heard about this from Shino himself, there seemed to be no shooting ability in SA:o, and I couldn't seem to deflect the bow no matter how much I tried, so I settled for a spear that looked easy to use, and he was Do this.
The "dual wield" used by Kirito in \"SAo\" and \"ALo\" was originally a unique skill in \"SAo\" that could only be used by those who could use it, but in \"SA:o\" It seems that the general skill in Zhong was implemented in taue, and Lilan, who actually mastered the dual-wielding skill in ALo, was also equipped with dual-wielding when she joined SA:o.
However, although "dual-wielding" was realized, "shooting" was not realized. As a result, Kirito could see Sinon nearby holding a spear in both hands, using the unique sword skills of the spear to drive away the enemies.
So far, Sinon has only fought at long range, but now she wields her spear like a dance and fights from close to medium range. Although Kirito felt strange, his appearance, fighting style, especially the gun and Sinon herself, all made the shadow of a person appear in Kirito's mind.
She has short dark blue-black hair with short bangs. Her slender body is wrapped in light blue clothes with blue lines and tears on her face. A girl with a weak overall temperament, but her eyes are full of kindness.
Like Sinon, he was also met in SAo. Because of his vulnerability, Kirito wanted to protect him until the end, but he failed to do so. The regret of a world that I wanted to protect but couldn't.
Kirito called the girl's name in his heart.
(fortunate)
While being imprisoned in Aincrad, Sachi, who belonged to the Moonlight Black Cat Guild, used the gun on his back as a weapon to fight at Sinon's location.
However, Sachi is quite afraid of monsters, and even finds herself unable to move when faced with them. Because they are so weak and dangerous, Kirito and other guild members often come to their rescue.
Sachi and Shino are different in appearance, personality, language, fighting style, atmosphere, and time together. They are even completely opposite in personality, fighting style, and time together. The most important thing is that he and Shino love each other from the bottom of their hearts and understand all the pain and suffering that Shino has endured so far.
What the two have in common is that they both use spears to fight, and they are both people that Kirito wants to protect deep down, and they sometimes show a fragile and short-lived side. That's it.
However, every time Kirito sees Sinon fighting with a gun, just by seeing Sinon holding a gun next to him, the image of Sachi will flash in Kirito's mind. Seeing Sinon and Sachi together, even There is an illusion of overlap.
Sachi and Shino are different.
Sachi is not in this world now.
The one person I, Yui, need to protect and love is Shino.
From now on, I will stay with Shino, protect her, love her, and live with her.
That's how it should be.
That's what I should have decided. despite this.
What was solidified by the time spent with Sinon\/Sinon was now shaking in Kirito's heart like an earthquake.
That's not all. Maybe Shino will die like Sachi. In the end, he failed to protect Shino and faced the same ending again.
\"Kirito\"
Hearing this voice, Kirito suddenly came back to his senses. At that time, her body was hugged by Shino, with her face buried in her shoulder. This is something Kirito often does for Sinon, and it is also something he often asks Sinon to do for him.
"You feel bad right now, don't you?"
""
\"Your face looks painful. Yes, you were trapped in SAo earlier than me and suffered terrible things. Maybe you will naturally remember what happened at that time.\"
But it doesn't matter now. This is not a death game, the culprit who tormented us is also dead. Everything that threatened us is gone. Besides, I'm with you too so it's okay now. "
""
Shino said in a tone that seemed to be comforting herself. Indeed, looking at his face now, he should be feeling pain from remembering all the tragedies that happened in SAo. However, the content seems correct, but it is actually wrong.
I had an agreement with Shino\/Shino before. Don't hold anything to yourself. I will tell Shino as much as possible, and I usually won't hide anything. Basically I will say whatever I want to say. I didn't do this last time and it resulted in a terrible situation, so I don't want to make that mistake again.
Thinking of this, Kirito slowly moved his face away from Sinon's shoulder and took a deep breath.
\"It's not like that. Uh, it's not like that.\"
"?"
Kirito expressed his thoughts, but was stared at by a dumbfounded Shino and Lilan beside him. Everything about Shino, her troubles and Sachi since she came to this world.
\"My fighting style is very similar to that guy Yuki's, I've always been curious\"
"Ah. You are not Yuki, and I have never regarded you as Yuki. But when I saw you fighting with a spear, I couldn't help but think of it."
Shino looked sad and apologetic. As if there was something wrong with him.
\"I'm sorry. In that case, you should change your weapon. Should you change it now?\"
"That's not true. Shino, I want you to stay the same. I can trust your fighting style."
"But then you"
Indeed, Sinon's current fighting style and weapon appearance are exactly the same as Sachi's. Take a look at Sinon's battle nearby and you'll be reminded of the tragedy Sachi ended up in.
Therefore, I was worried that something similar would happen again, and I could easily imagine that moment, and my body was shaking.
But that's not all. The fear that such a tragedy would not happen again was as strong as the uneasiness and trembling, and the desire to protect Shino with a stronger force than usual arose spontaneously.
Thanks to Sinon fighting with a gun, Kirito remembered what he had to do, the mission he had to complete, and its importance. With this thought, Kirito put his hand on Sinon's shoulder.
"It's okay. Thanks to you fighting like this, I feel like I'll protect you. I can remember what I need to do. I can't protect Sachi, but I can't protect you either. I'll protect this and that's what I'll do for the rest of my life. This That’s why I want you to keep fighting with your spear.”
This is a very sudden request. This sentence seemed to change suddenly. Shino continued to look at Kirito with a nervous expression, but eventually her expression softened into a smile.
\"I can't help it if you say that. I will continue to fight with this weapon. And, when you protect me, I will protect you. This weapon is for that purpose.\"
"Oh, let's do this."
\"Then, from now on, I will continue to lend you the power for this purpose.\"
That's it. My power is for Shino, and the power of my 'dependent' is also for Shino, and it is also to protect the 'dependent' itself - the head who came to me to confirm the facts again. Shino turned to look at the source of the 'sound' inside.
"Yes, Rilan. Your strength is my strength, and my strength is your strength. Let's continue to protect each other as before."
"Yeah, let's do it."
\"Let's do this\"
As time has passed, situations and locations have changed dramatically. However, what we have to do has not changed, nor has the fact that we will always be together.
Some things have changed, but there are also some things that haven't, and in fact, some things shouldn't change. What he had to do was what he couldn't change - Kirito, realizing this again, nodded deeply towards the two of them.
\"Speaking of which, Kirito. I also have something to tell you.\"
"What?"
\"I mean, 『SA:o\" is completely redesigned based on the server data of 『SAo\". So, I wonder if there is something there too...\"
Shino looked ahead as if looking for a place to return. By looking at each other, Kirito finally understood the full meaning of what Shino wanted to say.
What spread out in front of me was a lake, although it was a little smaller. When I was still trapped in "SAo", there was a similar scene. The wooden house on the 22nd floor of Aincrad where he lived after meeting Shino. The safe haven where I lived before clearing SAo.
\"Although it's a bit rude to say this, there are many times I wish I could go back to that place in SAo. If I could go back to that cabin, you, me, Riran, Yui. I hope I can stay there again. It is said that It’s a cursed game or the devil’s game, but the house is there.”
Kirito gently put his hand on Sinon's hand, and Sinon whispered with a somewhat lonely expression, looking for the original place.
According to the story, this "SA:o" uses all the data of "SAo", from venues to monsters. Then, the place corresponding to the 22nd floor of Aincrad must exist, and that house exists somewhere in Aincrad.
It's still in the closed beta stage, so I don't know how far I can go, but whether it's closed beta or official service, if I continue to conquer Aingground, I believe I will be able to reach that house...
Then, the four of us can live together again as Shino wished.
"It doesn't matter. There is a place in the world. So let's find it. And then we'll make it our place in the world and the four of us will live together again."
\"In order to do this, we must advance our strategy as soon as possible. It seems that the level 96 monster has disappeared, let's resume the strategy.
Hearing the 'voice' of the wolf dragon, Kirito and Shino stood up together. They were the largest-looking family among the family living with him. Just as Kirito was about to walk towards the back of the field, he suddenly felt a strange feeling and stopped.
Something is watching me??. I couldn't help but feel like something was watching me, not a player, not a monster. Until now, whenever something like this happened, something worse had always happened, so Kirito immediately looked around.
"!"
"W-where are you?" Kirito thought as he turned around and saw the person under the shade of the tree.
Her indigo hair was cut very short, and she wore gold hair accessories that looked like deformed wings on both sides of her head. A girl with light blue eyes and a crying mole around her right eye. She is petite, only Yui's height, and wears light blue loose clothes.
A girl I didn't even know stood alone by a tree, staring intently at me. Finally, Sinon and Lilan noticed their presence and looked at Kirito and the girl over and over with slightly surprised expressions.
"Uh, who is that girl?"
\"Why, you seem to be looking at me?\"
The unknown girl's footsteps moved slowly, making the sound of stepping on the grass, closing the distance. What, what happened? The girl walked up to the three of them. The three of them could only stare blankly at the situation in front of them, unable to understand the situation, and finally stopped in front of Kirito.
"you"
As if in reply to his words, the petite girl raised her head and looked at Kirito, opened her mouth, still raising her head.
"...I'm lost."
Upon hearing the girl's words, the three of them were stunned. "Look, we're here. Thanks for your hard work."
The current location where Kirito and his team are located is the portal square of the City of Origin.
After saying goodbye to his friends just now, Kirito, Sinon, and Lilan went to the Great Plains of Luustria, but the figure who was not there at the time appeared here now.
A petite girl with short dark blue-black hair, a tear mole, and wearing light blue loose clothes.
After escaping from the monster whose state could only be described as a misconfiguration, the girl who stared at me from behind the tree by the lake was the fourth member of the team currently beside Kirito. It was the member himself. .
""
As soon as she arrived in the town, the girl stopped and looked around repeatedly. A yellow cursor will appear above your head, proving that you are an NPC, not a player, and there is a yellow cursor above it! \"The Mark appears. It is held by NPCs who appear in towns and fields and offer quests to players they encounter.
Seeing the girl looking around without saying a word, Shino called her with something floating above her head.
"I'm now able to go back to town, but I'm glad I did."
"I had a mission marker above my head, so I thought that was a good thing and I thought that was my destination."
Lilan, who returned from werewolf form to werewolf form, also called her, but the girl didn't try to answer.
Kirito and others walked a few steps before arriving here. First of all, as soon as the girl met Kirito and the others, she begged Kirito and the others, "I was separated from Kirito on the road and got lost, so I want you to take me to the city." The announcement of the mission started above her head. \"A mark appears.
Although it happened so suddenly that Kirito and others could not hide their surprise, they still accepted the task for the time being. While protecting the girl who had no strength to fight against the monsters - most of the monsters were destroyed by the wolf dragon Ruiran - the three of them returned the same way.
In the midst of all this, I was worried that the love-at-first-sight incident that caused him to flee would happen again, but surprisingly, that didn't happen, and he was able to take the girl into town with relative ease. .this is possible.
However, at this moment, Kirito discovered something strange about the girl. At that time, the girl who came out from behind the tree had a "hp bar", but the "name" that should be on it was not there.
All NPCs that appear in the game have HP bars, and while many of them are mundane, they all have solid names. This girl is supposed to be one of those NPCs, but like the others, she only has a "hp bar" and no name.
Even if I confirm it now, what is displayed above the girl's head is only the "hp bar" and a yellow cursor, and there is no word that looks like her name.
Seeing this scene, Kirito immediately remembered the Lilan incident. Kirito gave him the name Lilan when he first met him, and a relationship was established between the tamer and the familiar.
Maybe this girl is similar to Lilan Shi or another "familiar" acquisition, or maybe she'll be given a name later. Regardless, some kind of incident must have been involved. Just as Kirito was about to call the girl again, he heard a voice coming from the road leading to the shopping street.
\"Ah, Kirito-kun, Shino!\"
"elder sister!"
When the four of us turned back, we saw multiple figures walking towards us. They were both girls, so I recognized them as Kirito and Shino - or rather, they were actually girls from a group of lost friends.
The girls passed through the surrounding players, and soon Asuna, who was standing at the front, shouted to them.
\"Kirito-kun and the others went to the wild.\"
\"Ah, I'd better go and have a look. Are Asuna and the others shopping in the city?\"
\"Yes. Although a lot of things have happened in the City of Origin, it is still a nostalgic place after all, so we went around it. If possible, Kirito and the others also wanted to go with us, but by then we had already gone.\"
Asuna said as she gathered around her friends Kirito, Shino, and Lilan, who were all girls who overcame difficulties. The girls who met in "SAo\" became trustworthy friends and fought together. The scene of fighting together can be seen not only in "SAo\", but also in "ALo\" and the real world. This scene It is a symbol of peace in itself, so to speak.
However, among the girls today, there are Yui, Strea and Jupiter. They cannot be gathered together in the real world. Most of them have expressions of satisfaction on their faces, as if they have bought Things are the same.
"The environment and weather seemed to be nice in the wild, so it was easy to explore, but I ended up encountering some amazing monsters."
"Here's the thing. But now that you have Lilan, you can beat him, right?"
Leafa, who was standing on Asuna's right, said this, but the girl who soon became Kirito's "acquaintance" shook her head in shock.
"This is not an opponent I can beat at all. After all, it is a closed beta. It seems that many things have not been adjusted."
"It's amazing that there is an opponent I can't beat even if we rematch."
In response to Filia's words, Kirito could only smile and nodded.
In "SAo" and "ALo", I defeated any monster by unleashing Lilan's power, and thus overcame many difficulties.
But if I were asked to defeat that level 96 monster, I could only say it was impossible, and I couldn’t help but feel that it was wrong to put such a thing in that place.
Although it was the first day of closed testing, Kirito still felt the feeling of being pulled at the hem of his clothes, and he once again realized that Lilan's statement about the obvious lack of adjustment was correct.
When I turned around, I found that the strange girl I met where I escaped from the monster was tugging at Kirito's coat.
"Well, what's wrong with you?"
"I give this to you as a thank you for having me back here."
The moment the girl stretched out her hands, a window appeared in front of Kirito. Report that you have successfully completed the task and received your reward. Kirito couldn't help but notice what he had seen in "SAo" and "ALo".
"Uh, the reward is one?"
The sound was louder than expected, and everyone around him reacted and approached Kirito, each saying "so and so" at different times. Lisbeth among them tried to peek into the window in front of Kirito from the side.
\"Kirito, you are on a mission.\"
"Ah, I think so, but look at this."
With that, I manipulated the window so that everyone around me could see, and the girls responded. Everyone was surprised, confused, and tilted their heads. This was exactly Kirito's reaction when he saw the contents of the window for the first time.
"Uh, there's only one reward?"
\"What is this? Neither SAo nor ALo have such a task.\"
"It doesn't seem worth it. It's not normal."
Listening to the order of Silica, Yuuki, and Cam, Kirito put his hand on his chin.
Maybe the task we received is to escort this Npc girl to her destination. The task of protecting the target from monster attacks and reaching the destination is relatively common and also exists in SAo and ALo.
However, these missions are more difficult than other missions because the escort targets often have weaknesses, such as weak health bars or weak equipment, and are not so easy to complete.
Perhaps because of this, the rewards for clearing and protecting NPC tasks are often more commensurate with the work. For example, stronger equipment, special items, and large sums of money are all inferior to those sold in stores.
However, I think the task I just completed should be the same task, but I only get a cor. That’s not to say it’s not worth it.
Moreover, this Npc girl herself is also very strange. There are many types of mission NPCs in "SAo" and "ALo". All missions have a basic story, and they will speak lines that match the story.
This uses data from "SAo" and the server "SA:o" should have a similar format, and all quest NPCs and their quests should have an origin story.
However, the girl suddenly appeared on the field, suddenly turned her gaze to him, started walking towards her, and suddenly triggered the task, making the original story unreadable.
Who is this girl? What is this task? Kirito's thoughts rotated as if entering the brain.
(wait?)
If you think about it, you do n’t even know the name of this girl, and the start and end of the task itself are suddenly, giving you a Cor as a reward.
However, so far, such strange tasks usually appear in the form of so -called sequels, and continue tasks will occur after completing them.
Maybe this girl's task, this girl itself is part of the sequel task. The task we completed is the first one, and I think the next task will start from now.
"What!? Is there such a thing?!"
Just when Kirito thought he had found the answer, a voice passed into his ear, and he suddenly returned. Unconsciously, Yui, who walked to the girl, raised his voice. His expression was very surprised, and the girl around him was also surprised.
\"What's the matter, Yui?\"
"Dad, I just scanned this NPC and found who it was."
Generally, NPCs that play an active or important role in "this world" are always set to roles and characters such as girls and businessmen in small town girls and businessmen. The NPCs that are given to the characters and settings are as they should be as they should and continue to play their role faithfully.
Since she is one of the NPCs, the setting of this black hair girl is the same as that of others -but the girl's settings are "null", which indicates that nothing is. Jiyi explained that it is in a complete initial state as shown in the figure.
"No configuration? What's wrong?"
For Shi Nai's inquiry, Yui shook his head. Subsequently, his eyes turned to a strange girl.
"I don't know. Is it a mistake from the staff? Is there any problem at present, and we can't even know the reason. At present, I can only say that the NPC has no character, and it is an unspecified task NPC."
After the inheritance of the mother's information analysis ability explained, there was only the turmoil of other players.
The girl who suddenly shouted to me on the court couldn't understand who she was, why was she there and why she existed.
A girl who had nothing seemed to be left alone in a foreign place, as if it was out of place. At this moment, he just looked up at the sky blankly, but the inorganic expression on his face made me feel compassionate.
\ "Hey, Kirito. This person seems to have no name. \"
"Ah, it seems that it hasn't been settled by the name, it's a pity."
After answering the question of Lilan, Kirito suddenly remembered one thing.
In this world, in the predecessor of \ "SA: O \", there was a werewolf dragon he met. My own 'dependents', later got the name Lilan, became a member of my family, and now has the form of a werewolf. It was originally an unknown werewolf dragon.
When I remembered the scene at the time, I saw the girl's image overlap with Lilan or an unknown werewolf dragon.
"In this case, let's get a name. Okay, just do it!"
Everyone turned his head in surprise and saw Lizbet, who had suddenly raised his voice. Shi Nai refuted the seemingly unreasonable content in a shocking attitude.
"Oh, we will think of a name."
"I mean, if you are always unknown, I will feel sad for you. The most important thing is that it is difficult to call me. At least let us give you a name."
Indeed, I do n’t know if I do n’t meet this girl in the future. I do n’t know who I am talking about when I mention this girl. Presumably, everyone also realized that Liz Bett's suggestion was right. Everyone began to think about what, "What is the name?", "What should I do?" I heard ...
In the end, Kirito also became one of them, and began to think of a suitable name for the girl, but when he did this, he flashed back when he saw Lilan for the first time.
When we met at the 35th floor of Eynglant, Lan, who was originally an unknown werewolf, lost his memory and forgot everything we was, including who we were.
Kirito was forced to give it a name, because he had a personality that forcibly closed it because of the failure, so he chose the name Lilan, which is an IT term, which means restarting. I attach it.
The girl looked very similar to Lan at the time. Should we give it a word that means "reorganization" or "reorganization"?
When we talk about restarting or reorganization, there will be words such as "reorganization" and "reorganization", but when asked if this should be given to the girl, most people are not.
How is this going? what do I do? When she hadn't thought about it for a long time, Asuna, who was about to think about other people around, seemed to say an idea suddenly.
"Hey, what about the Prime Minister?"
When everyone's attention was concentrated, the Jupiter next to him crooked her mother Asuna.
"Prime Minister?"
"Yeah, premiere still has the meaning of pulling the end. This girl has nothing and nothing, so I think I will call her Premiere, which means the opening."
The term "Premier" was originally used to represent expensive things, rare things or the first round of versions, but its original meaning is just the beginning. This girl has been retained for a long time, but because of our participation, the story has begun.
The name of the Prime Minister is very suitable for such a girl. The people around nodded with a smile. One of them, Lifa, agreed very much.
\ "The Prime Minister doesn't matter! Let's go with the Prime Minister! \"
"From now on, your name is the Prime Minister, but I think it doesn't matter."
As soon as Filia asked, the girl seemed to not know what happened for a while. Kirito quickly added.
"We are considering calling you the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is your name, can you?"
"The Prime Minister is called the Prime Minister."
"Yes. Do you like it?"
"like"
They didn't seem to understand the meaning, but the moment they saw the girl nodded, they all relieved, but strange things happened above. Above the "HP column", there should usually be a place with a name, and a word appears.
\ "Prime Minister \". On the top of the girl's head, the names of Asuna's just proposed, everyone decided. After the task began and completed, everyone was surprised by the sudden changes. After Jie noticed, he immediately shouted to Kirito.
"Dad, this person has changed, his name has become Mr. Prime Minister, and the patrol route of this person in the city of the ancestor seems to have changed."
"Does this mean that the task has made progress?"
\ "This is what. The task that Dad just completed is to get one Kor's task, but if you continue to receive the task of Mr. Prime Minister in the future, it is likely to gain something.
Kirito turned to the Prime Minister while listening to the story of Yui. The premiere suddenly started, suddenly ended, and a meaningless task was proposed, which provided a COR in it.
Regarding the pursuit of this girl, the Prime Minister may regret it and will never consider doing this in the future. Premier is definitely an NPC with a sequel task.
I don't know when it can be achieved, but I may reach a task that cannot be compared with me.
You should study Premier and its tasks in depth, and you should continue to observe them. When I thought about it deep inside, the girls around me had begun to get along with the Prime Minister.
The atmosphere is like a new student or a transfer student to the class. Kirito watched everyone full of joy like a new friend, but found that this is not the case.
Shi Nai personally entered the battle and effectively participated in the task of the Prime Minister. Although she is one of the happy girls, she just looked at the Prime Minister with doubt or doubtful eyes. Or it looks like you are experiencing a feeling of acquaintance.
Kirito walked quietly in front of Shi Nai and called her.
\ "Poetry, what's wrong? \"
\ "Hey, Kirito, did you not see anything for the premiere? \"
"?"
"I think I have seen the premiere before. I don't remember where I was, but I think I have seen it before."
Kirito who experienced SAO and ALO encountered various NPCs and accepted their tasks. I have never seen girls like Prime Minister among them, and I don't remember doing that task.
\ "SA: O \" Copy and reuse \ "SAO \" server data, so it is not strange if there is Premier in \ "Sao \", but there is no memory. After all, PREMIER can be said to be the NPC that is only confirmed in this \ "SA: O \".
Shi Nai must have remembered something wrong.
(wait?)
No, that's not true. I've seen it before. I have never seen the Prime Minister. She wore lightly designed lightly designed with sea blue and white as its main color. The dark blue hair was cut short, but her eyes had a familiar feeling.
There is a crying mole around the right eye of the Prime Minister, which is something that all girls cannot see here. However, Kirito soon understood that Shi Nai did not notice this, but had a feeling of knowing each other.
It is the eye. I remember seeing Priemir's eyes somewhere, which was different from her clothes. Her eyes had a inorganic atmosphere, but it seemed to have a certain emotion. I couldn't help but feel that I met a person who was very similar to Premier's eyes before \ "SA: O \" and spent time with it. This is probably that Shi Nai has a feeling of knowing each other.
However, I can't remember that important person. No matter how deeply thinking, he couldn't determine who that person was, so he no longer thought about it and told Shi Nai the conclusion he could come on the spot.
"Maybe it is Pribel's eyes?"
"Yeah. Have you received it too?"
"Ah. I may have seen the eyes of the Prime Minister before. But where is it? I'm sure I saw her, but"
"Yeah, I don't know why I can't remember it anymore. I feel like what I still remember, but"
Although I couldn't help thinking about it, I couldn't find a person with a very similar to the Prime Minister's eyes, probably because I have seen countless NPCs and players.
But it is certain that the Prime Minister similar to that person is an important NPC and can complete her primary task. The task in Premiere is a continuation. Although it may feel meaningless at the beginning, I am convinced that there will be some big things waiting for them in the end.
Kirito looked at the premiere, listening to the experience of playing MMORPG such as SAO, ALO and other MMORPG.
He still looked indifferent to listening to the girls, but I could see that he seemed to have fun than before.
Three days have passed since \ "SA: O \".
After school and after dinner, Kirito \/Kirito immediately logged in to SA: O. It landed in the beginning of the sun that the sun had completely fallen and the night sky was occupied by the stars and the moon.
Perhaps this setting is to consider the age group of late -night login, but it is set faster in ALO. As a result, although I log in at night, the local area is during the day, but the SAO server data created by copying and using the SAO server data associated with the real world time,: O \ "to point the same time as the same time as reality.
Perhaps because of this, Kirito can only log in during the day of holidays.
However, although the number of internal tests, the number of people is limited, but because it is a new game, it is difficult to see many players and NPCs perform the duties of urban residents in the evening or daytime. There are also many players and NPCs where Kirito is now coming and going.
Kirito looked around and found a girl. Three days ago, a NPC suddenly appeared in front of them, and suddenly asked them a task that they didn't understand, and gave them a dollar.
Wearing a petite girl in light blue and white clothes, dark blue hair, light blue eyes, and a crying mole around the right eye.
Seeing what they named the Prime Minister, Kirito raised his voice and shouted.
"Hey, Prime Minister."
The Prime Minister did not answer. He just walked, and the pace seemed to be walking towards the exit of the business district area at any time. I don't know if it was because of the noise of the players around, he didn't hear it clearly.
Out of curiosity, Kirito walked forward, close to the Prime Minister, and called her again.
"Hey, it's the Prime Minister."
"!"
When Kirito approached a distance, Priemir finally realized and turned around. There was no surprise on his face, and his expression on his face was not angry.
"Good evening. By the way, my name is Prime Minister."
"Ah, I guess you just didn't respond, because you are not used to being called. You are just walking, so maybe you are just walking?"
"I didn't do anything special. I'm just walking."
"I think we are just walking after all."
"That's it." The Prime Minister replied expressionlessly as always.
Since meeting with Kirito and others three days ago, the prime minister has been taken to her prime minister, and the Prime Minister has begun walking in town and designating patrol routes. Now you can trigger the task by encountering the prime minister in the city and saying specific words.
The task content is the same as the original version. It is a escort task that takes you to somewhere in the wild, but the reward is still the same, there is only one COR.
The strange thing is that you only gave him a bottle of plug and let him escort you. When you complete the task, something will happen.
Kirito thought so at the beginning. In the past three days, he has been inviting friends -mainly those who go with Lilan and Strea -to watch the premiere, but the report is not good. The story of the mission has not made any progress, and the Prime Minister himself has not changed.
Moreover, according to the plot, when the Prime Minister does not do the task, it seems to just walk around for no reason, and sometimes it shows strange reactions like other NPCs. If there is no such thing, it does not seem to have any incidents.
In fact, the current premiere only causes a sense of inorganic, and does not show anything unusual.
Since three days ago, the premiere has not changed. We did not make any changes to Premier. —— Just when I thought so, there was a voice not far away.
"Hey, the two of you are there."
"Yes"
When the Prime Minister and I turned back, there were four girls there. Lisbeth has gorgeous pink hair and red and white clothes. LIFA has a long golden hair with ponytails, wearing light green and white clothes. Lifa has a bright brown double ponytail hair, which is orange. Silica is basically three colors: brown and white. It has blond hair different from Lifa. The right side of the body is wearing a red jacket, and the white golden wolf ears on the head and buttocks are Ruran of the dry tail. Grow out.
Kirito responded gently, and the four of them took the distance. It didn't take long for Liz Bate to say a prank.
"It seems, I wonder if they are dating."
"No, I just called him, because I found him. It seems that he just strolled aimlessly."
Then, in the real world, Kirito's sister Lifa's expression was slightly dignified. Kirito's eyes opened slightly, as if grasping something important.
