A petite boy with a hairstyle similar to Asuna's, his hair color is chestnut, but the tips of his hair are silver, his eyes are amber, and he basically wears a white hoodie. Although Asuna has seen this look many times, she exudes a mature aura.
As Kyoko looked at him confused, Asuna quietly approached the boy. The boy also closed the door, walked towards Asuna, and finally lined up beside her. Asuna turned to Kyoko as the boys lined up around her.
"Let me introduce you, mother. This child is Jupiter."
"Jupiter, that one"
There seemed to be a strong sense of disgust in Kyoko's eyes. It looked like he was looking at something disgusting, but Jupiter did not move, but looked at Kyoko with a calm expression. Exactly the same thing I saw when I was treating the woman in Jupiter's Memory Fragment.
Jupiter bowed slowly, Kyoko's eyes remained fixed on him. Did.
\"Nice to meet you, Yuki Kyoko. I'm Jupiter.\"
The cabin was filled with powerful yet gentle voices. His voice was so mature that even Asuna was surprised.
This is the original state of Jupiter. Asuna suppressed the sudden realization and surprise in her heart and looked at Jupiter and Kyoko.
\"That's an AI who claims to be Asuna's son. That's it, right?\"
"I heard about you from your mother. How you treated her and what you wanted to do."
\"Well, that means it understood what Asuna said. This is another AI with strong imitation ability.\"
Asuna wanted to shake her head, but Jupiter stopped her. Leave it to me - Jupiter said to Asuna without saying a word, and then slowly approached Kyoko.
\"I can't help it if you think so. I am indeed an artificial intelligence, and I don't have a body like Miss Kyoko or Miss Mom. However, I understand what you are saying. Masu"
"I think it's because that's what it does."
"That's right. I know how you feel right now."
Kyoko's eyebrows furrowed. Human Modoki looked like he was giving orders, but Jupiter kept his cool and approached Kyoko.
\"Miss Kyoko. I heard everything from your mother. Everything about your life so far, how you got to this point.\"
"You mean you know everything about me?"
"Since I heard the story from my mother, I don't know the whole story, but I still think I know more than half. I will tell the rest of Yuki's family that you are from a peasant family in Miyagi Prefecture" "Being Contempt is what makes you tired."
At this moment, Jingzi's expression finally turned into surprise.
Jupiter himself was shocked when he heard what Jupiter had just said.
Although Kyoko is now a professor at a famous university, she was born in a peasant family in Miyagi Prefecture. Kyoko, who was born into a peasant family, was the most suitable person to look down on and despise her for the Yuuki family members who cared too much about her origin and lineage.
"You have always been ashamed of your background as a peasant, and you desperately want to erase this fact. Maybe that's why you want your mother to also follow the path of the elite to erase the stain of shame on yourself.".
""
Jupiter walked up to Kyoko and stopped in front of her. He just kept looking up at Kyoko.
"But there's nothing to be ashamed of about where you come from. There are things about where you come from that you don't know."
"...what is that?"
"Can you look out the window?"
Following Jupiter's instructions, Kyoko suddenly looked out the window. I could finally show Kyoko what I wanted to show her. You can teach what you want to teach. With a hint of joy in her heart, Asuna stood beside Kyoko and Jupiter and looked out the window.
There is a vast grassland here, which can be described as deep, with a stream flowing through it, and coniferous trees arranged neatly, which makes the place seem very cramped. Moreover, it was still covered with snow, and the scene could only be described as cold.
This was exactly the scene Asuna wanted to show Kyoko.
Kyoko has been stunned by this cedar forest, which looks very similar to the one she saw from the window of Kyoko's parents' house in Miyagi, her hometown. Jupiter said to Kyoko, who was looking out the window with her mouth half open.
"Your birthplace is a peasant family in the mountains of Miyagi Prefecture. Your home is in a rural area without mechanization. If it is true, you will never be able to go to university. The environment you are in is there, and you are not even a university professor. You couldn't make it. But, you studied hard and got out of there and met Mr. Shozo and Yuki's family. That's right, isn't it?
Kyoko nodded sheepishly. His eyes were still staring at the coniferous forest outside the window.
"But, the Yuki family doesn't like that you come from a farm. They make you look down on you, saying that this is the habit of farmers. You are looked down upon and you have an inferiority complex because of your origin. In fact, even if there is a gathering of the Yuki family, I I didn’t want to go. However, I couldn’t miss the Yuki family party, so I tried hard to get rid of those who made fun of me, so I went to Koichiro and others, and Kasan also tried to make her an elite.
Kyoko's mouth was covered. Even if you want to deny it, you can't. This is very similar to how Asuna was attacked one after another when she met Lilan.
\"Miss Kyoko. You were left alone for a long time. Although you became a member of the Yuki family, everyone despised you. You were left alone. It was painful for a long time. I think yes".
Asuna was surprised by Jupiter's words, but also realized that they made sense.
The Yuki family, whose main family is in Kyoto, is a very large family and has been engaged in the currency exchange business since the Meiji era. Because of their large size, they had to deal with a large number of people, but Asuna had never seen any of them being friendly to Kyoko.
Although he is a member of a large family, no one respects him. Because there is one inevitable thing: coming from a peasant family. Kyoko has been exposed to this situation for a long time.
"That's why I raised Koichiro and my mom, because I wanted them to know I wasn't alone, to let them know who I was. I wanted to do that, but I was desperate.
However, your loneliness is still not cured. Because you have been looked down upon by others, you cannot find your place. "
"how do you know?"
At this point, Asuna could finally speak.
"Jupiter is not just an artificial intelligence. He is a child created to heal women's hearts. He has healed many wounded women. If you examine a person and get to know them, you can learn almost everything about them."
""
The birthplace of my mother's shame. That place that she didn't even want to remember was Asuna's favorite place.
A small village at the end of a steep valley. Growing up, Asuna would go to the place she liked better than Yuki's main house during summer and winter vacations, meet her grandparents, and chat with them for many days.
The annual trip to her grandmother's house happened when Asuna was in the first grade of junior high school. Asuna recounted while recalling the situation that was different from before.
\"My father, mother, and brother all went to Kyoto during the Bon Festival in the first grade of junior high school, but I remember that I was the only one who went to Miyagi.
I apologized to my grandparents at that time. It's a pity that your mother couldn't come to visit your grave. Sorry, it's just me. "
"At that time, a memorial service was being held at Yuki's main house, and I had to attend."
Kyoko's voice had a hint of tremor. Maybe he felt he was being blamed. Asuna continued, telling him that wasn't the case.
After Asuna apologized to her mother, her grandfather went to the tea cabinet and took out a book. It's a thick album, reminiscent of a now-outdated encyclopedia. Asuna looked inside and was surprised to see if there were photos of Kyoko when she was a child.
The photo album contains printouts of Kyoko University papers, articles contributed to various magazines, and interviews. All of the apricot-related articles are scattered among places that usually include family photos and the like.
Even though there were no computers in or around her grandparents' house, everything Kyoko touched was neatly filed away. Grandfather said as he showed it to me.
"Kyoko is our irreplaceable asset. We are very happy that she went to college from the village, became a scholar, wrote for many magazines, and became a great person. She is busy writing papers and attending academic conferences, so we can tolerate I can't help but visit her grave." It was natural that I couldn't come, and I never felt dissatisfied about it. "
Kyoko stared at the window and listened intently to Asuna's story.
"Then, my grandfather added, "But my mother is a busy person, and one day she might get tired and want to stop. "She wants to know if she's on the right path. You want to turn back. Until then, we'll protect this house... If mom needs support, there will be a place she can come back to. I want to tell you, I want to always Protect this house and this mountain."
However, when Asuna entered her second year of junior high school, her grandparents passed away and the terraces and mountains were sold. Uninhabited houses were demolished and disappeared without a trace. For Kyoko, this may mean giving up the birthplace she hates, and at the same time losing her support.
While recalling the house that had been demolished and turned into the past, and recalling Jupiter, Asuna expressed her feelings in words.
"I didn't understand what it meant at first, but after meeting everyone and Jupiter, I think I finally understand. Life is not about running for yourself, but living for the happiness of others. There are lives and ways to live Where you think other people's happiness is your own happiness.
It's me, mom. I want to live a life that makes everyone around me smile. I want to do my best to make everyone smile. For this reason, I want to be with Jupiter who is working hard to heal everyone, studying hard and doing other things in the school I love. "
Asuna put all the feelings in her heart into words. My wish for my future self. Even after telling her everything, Kyoko still looked out the window. At this time, Jupiter stood next to Kyoko and held her hand. Kyoko looked at Jupiter in surprise.
\"Miss Kyoko, you don't have to be ashamed of your place of birth. As a scholar and university professor, you have been working hard. So from now on, you don't have to be ashamed of your place of birth, but \"You don't have to be ashamed of your place of birth. Shame on the place of birth. Be proud of what you have accomplished as a person. Don't worry about what the Yuki family will say. Be proud of what you have accomplished. And, you are no longer alone. Not there”
Kyoko's eyes widened. A gentle smile appeared on Jupiter's face.
"Kyoko-san has many students, Shozo-san, Koichiro-san, mom, and me. It seems like you have no place to belong, but the house where you were born is gone, and your place is here. People might say , considering this is artificial intelligence, I’m arrogant, but—”
Jupiter took Kyoko's hand with both of his. His amber eyes matched Kyoko's and he smiled again.
\"I am your grandson. This is the place you want to go back to. I will do my best to make this a place you can go back to, a place where you feel safe. So, Kyoko-san, this is enough.\ "Stop, please. Please rest. I'll be here"
Jupiter said in a cheerful voice, the smile on his face was exactly the same as the one he saw in the memory fragments. The sound filled the quiet new forest cabin and then disappeared. Kyoko still held his hand and just looked at Jupiter with her dark green eyes.
After about ten seconds passed, Asuna took a breath.
A tear ran down Kyoko's porcelain cheeks. As the lips moved, more tears began to flow and drip. Finally, Kyoko bent her knees, sat on the floor, and opened her mouth.
"What are you doing? Everyone come and gather together!!"
"?"
"What happened to me? What happened to my hometown? I also became a professor, I also became a scholar, I made a lot of money, I made a lot of money, and he trained a lot of students, and by anyone's standards, he achieved Great achievement." Results and created a career.
But why doesn't anyone admit it? Why should I be looked down upon because of where I come from? ! Why should I be laughed at for not being able to change? ! "
Asuna was startled by Kyoko's screams and tears. The image of the mother she had never seen overlapped with the image of the mother she had met when she met Lilan.
After all, my mother was like that too. They are despised by the people around them, have nowhere to go, have lost their belonging, and are bound by something in their lives. My mother was forced into the same situation as me and continues to suffer.
The silt in my heart and the suppressed emotions all came out in the form of words at this moment. Take full advantage of the power of Jupiter.
"I don't fit into the Yuuki family. What exactly doesn't suit me? What don't you like about me? What makes you look down on me so much? What makes you look down on me so much!!"
Jupiter walked up to Kyoko and hugged her with her small body and arms, while Kyoko was still spitting out what she had been building up. Perhaps it was because Kyoko was relatively large that she couldn't fit into Jupiter's chest, and her face reached up to Jupiter's shoulders. Jupiter didn't care, however, and stroked Kyoko's back with his arm.
"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with you, you don't have to worry about anything anymore. You should be proud of yourself. You are a proud woman and your grandmother."
Kyoko buried her face in Jupiter's chest and shoulders, pressing her weight on Jupiter and letting out a sob, but eventually her arms moved slowly and stopped in mid-air. At the same time, Asuna approached Kyoko.
"I"
"Mom, when I was with Jupiter, everything came out. All my thoughts, anxieties, dissatisfaction, sadness came out. When I was in front of Jupiter, I let it all out, and no one could Tolerate it. "Restore their feelings."
""
Kyoko moved her arms, but her face did not leave Jupiter's chest. After repeated hesitant movements, he finally gave up and hugged Jupiter's body again.
\"Are you Asuna's child? My grandson?\"
"Yes, grandma."
Following Jupiter's answer, Asuna also placed her hand on Kyoko's trembling body.
"This is my baby, Mom."
"That's it"
After saying a few words, Kyoko did not let go of Jupiter's body.
the next morning. When Asuna arrived at the restaurant, breakfast was already on the table. Kyoko, who was sitting in the chair, had finished her breakfast and was browsing the news on her tablet.
It looked like usual. After Asuna said good morning to each other, they ate in silence.
When the plates were put away, Kyoko shouted to Asuna as if she expected it. The next step is to “submit your transfer request”. Asuna prepared herself and waited for the next words, but what came was Kyoko's long sigh.
\"Asuna, I'm sorry.\"
"?"
\"Like you said, I was the one that got weird. I always thought I had a hometown complex and I was stuck not being able to see things properly. \"Yo. Maybe I'm being too mean. My own business. My intervention has caused you great pain. I am really sorry. "
The stuffy mother is now apologizing. Asuna could only roll her eyes at this. However, Asuna was finally able to speak.
"Mom is not like this. I blame her."
"No. I still did some horrible things to you. So, I'm really sorry about it all."
Asuna could no longer speak. I don't know what to say to Kyoko, her behavior has changed drastically since yesterday. Even though I thought about it in my mind, I couldn't find the words. Just as Asuna was confused, Kyoko continued.
\"Artificial intelligence has the power to heal the human spirit, huh? Humans are supposed to be the ones who have to heal the human spirit, but creatures created by humans like Jupiter are more likely to do that.\" When people become good at something What happens when a key person becomes adept at hurting and belittling others? "
Asuna didn't miss a word of Kyoko's words. However, I felt that I couldn’t hear what Asuna said clearly, so I tried to ask her again, but before I could say anything, Kyoko interrupted Asuna.
\"So, Asuna. You said you didn't want that, you wanted more people to smile and support them. So, I think you have the determination to do that.\"
"Yes"
"Then you have to become stronger first, and you must go to the university I recommend. To do this, you must achieve better results than before in the third semester and next year."
"Uh, mom, is that so? Or what about the transfer exam?"
\"I said it. It depends on your future grades. Work hard, Asuna. Go to college well\"
Kyoko turned her attention to Asuna. He spoke in a calm tone and his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Being a mother that would make Jupiter proud."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xingzi stood up and quickly left the restaurant. After hearing the sound of the door closing, Asuna stiffened for a few seconds, then she felt something push up from deep in her chest.
Even with Jupiter's power, he finally rescued Kyoko from her pain.
They were able to recognize us as parents and children. A smile appeared naturally on her lips, and Asuna murmured softly.
"Mom, thank you..."
Asuna left the restaurant and headed to her room. After that, I changed into my school uniform, hung up my schoolbag, and hurried to school with a smile on my face.
That night \"The City where the Sword Originated\"
Asuna returned home after finishing her studies. After eating dinner and taking a shower, she immediately used Amusphere to infiltrate "SA:o".
When I opened my eyes after the radiation ended, I found myself in a room made of stone and wood, illuminated by light. There was a bed against the wall, with a table and chairs next to it. There is no doubt that that is my bedroom in the City of Origin.
However, the time had not yet come and neither the bed nor the table were in use. Starting on the first floor, I felt a small but sure presence. Asuna smiled at his arrival before leaving the room and walking down the stairs.
As I opened the door at the bottom of the stairs, I found myself in the familiar living room, where I saw a boy. A petite boy with amber eyes and the same hairstyle as himself, chestnut hair with silver tips, wearing white clothes.
When the boy met Asuna's eyes, he first showed a bright smile.
"Welcome back, Mom."
Asuna responded to her beloved child's greeting.
"I'm back, Jupiter."
"Where have you been, that Rhea Mob."
"You probably haven't gone to that far away place. Take a closer look."
In the vast grassland, I passed through the forest. She was now hiding in the shadows of the trees. There were multiple footsteps and men's voices coming from the other side of the grassland. She couldn't find them while looking at the grassland from the shadow of the trees.
She was being chased now. The cause was only a few dozen minutes ago. Walking down the street, she met several men. Several men who were thought to have come to meet her dropped by her saying they wanted to go out.
She had no particular suspicions. Perhaps it can be said that there is no reason to doubt. Although the men are all strangers, it is not unusual to meet like this on this street, and it is not unusual to be talked to. And I also have places I want to take me to, so I can leave it to these men.
Under the persuasion of the men, she rushed to the grassland.
"Damn, where did you really go? I can't find you."
"Did you run away because of crystals or something?"
Then things completely changed. One of the men, who looked very calm, slashed at her as she came to the grassland with his sword. Not just one of them. All the men present took advantage of each other and attacked her together. He kept saying things like "Kill this guy", "Kill this guy and you'll get Balance Blake", etc.
Obviously these people were trying to hurt me. I asked you to bring me here to hurt me.
After being hit for the first time, she noticed that she ran away. The men caught up, of course, but kept running so as not to be overtaken. In this way, when she arrived at the forest, she found a particularly large tree and hid behind it.
While she was hiding, the men ran to where she was just now, and after beating the monsters around them, they started looking around. In order not to be noticed, she waited for the men to leave.
The men were still looking around with dumbfounded eyes, one of them speaking numbly.
"As expected, he got away. I think if he had been killed, he might have been able to get Balance Blake. It would be such a shame."
"That guy is right. Even if he attacks, the cursor will not change to blue, and I heard that he can get the weapon that balances Blake."
"It seems to be correct. It's clearly me who is attacking, but the cursor turns into a blue cursor. There seems to be some parts of the game that are not adjusted enough."
"Thanks to this, we get balance Blake, which is awesome."
The men were full of strange things. I barely understand what that means. But, it must be targeting me - she thought, and continued to ask about the situation. Presently one of the men let out a sigh.
\"As expected, I still ran away. I have no choice but to retreat.\"
"Balance Blake is here again, I'll get it anyway."
The men said in unison, turned back the way they had come, and disappeared into the grassland. When the men's backs were completely invisible, she finally walked from the shadow of the big tree to the direction of the grassland.
Even if they were seen, there was no sign of the men coming. It seems to have completely leaked out.
The place where she was was surrounded by silence. The monsters were hunted down by the men and disappeared. The men hunted the monsters one after another, and in order to find her, they created the most suitable environment for roasting.
If he hadn't been able to hide at that time, he might have been hunted like the monsters. Because those men have gone to that level to find out about her. Thinking of this, she felt a chill running down her spine.
At the same time, questions and thoughts arose in my mind.
Why am I being targeted?
There is something on my mind.
Why are those people attacking me?
Even if she wanted to think, she couldn't understand. If you don't ask others, you won't get the answer. Suddenly looking up at the sky, she asked again.
"Why are people in this world targeting me?"
I asked, but got no answer.
But that place was filled with the sound of grass and trees swaying in the wind.
It has been a week since Yupitel regained his original memory. We reach the deepest part of Aldrobe Forest and fight the area boss.
There is a unique door in front of the area boss in the deepest part of the cave, which is dark and damp and where demon-type monsters spread. We finally arrived at the location of the area boss. At that time, we stopped in front of the door and returned to the street. After gathering the members, we went to the area boss's door.
In front of the opened door, there were two swords, arms made of magic like the Phantom Arm Original Bowl, and a pair of giant Ziggs. In fact, the figure of the giant with four arms and four swords made It is reminiscent of the "Emperor Dragon Zeus" who once fought in the 100th-floor Ruby Palace on the top of "SAo".
However, now that all of Yupitel's problems have been solved, everyone can fight without fear and successfully leave a result that can be said to be a great victory.
Since the guardian giant of the Aldrob Great Forest was defeated, the next area was liberated, but at the same time, there was a staircase in the corner of the cave that became the battlefield.
Do the underground temples still exist as they did in the Lystrian steppes? Underneath the battlefield with the giants lies a temple identical in structure to the one found on the Lystrian steppes.
As at that time, looking inside, I found an altar with a glowing oval stone, and as at the Lystrian Steppe, the Prime Minister recovered.
Similar cases occurred in the Lystrian Steppes and the Oldrobe Forest.
There is only one answer derived from there. There is no doubt that the missions in the premiere are linked to the regional bosses in each game. At first it was just something to advance virtual missions, but now it has become something that exists in the deepest part of the temple that appears when you defeat the area boss, and collects oval-shaped stones.
I don’t know what’s waiting ahead, but if I defeat the area boss in the future, I’ll definitely be able to advance the premiere mission. My belief is that we all share the same purpose. We have decided on a strategy strategy to continue exploring the field and defeating area bosses in the future.
However, there are also many unclear facts about the premiere's mission. Although I knew that the mission of the premiere was to collect glowing stones, I didn't get any other information at all. What exactly is the mission of the premiere and what does it look like?
I tried to talk about what I was thinking, and everyone seemed to care about it. As a result, everyone worked together to collect information about the missions for the premiere and it was added to the strategy strategy, and they each carried out various missions.
As part of the exploration, our current location is a corner of the "Gem Peak" and "Lake and Swamp Fault Group", a place called "Renix Flow Channel". Due to the regional boss of the Old Rob Forest The area that emerged after breaking through it was, as the name of the lakes and swamps were called, a land submerged in water.
Soon after entering, tropical rainforest, a word that refers to a humid place, was surrounded by a faint moisture, and the feet were filled with water. Surrounded by rocky mountains, there are waterfalls of different sizes everywhere, with large amounts of water flowing down.
Since it was a group of lakes and swamps, I thought it must be a place with a lot of water, but the appearance was far beyond my imagination. While I was amazed at the amount of water and environment, Shino and I walked on the "Lenike Flow Path".
"Even so, there was water everywhere. The clothes always felt heavy."
"If you wear a coat like that, it will become heavier if you absorb moisture."
Walking along the waterside everywhere, suddenly the scattered words were eaten by Shino.
Perhaps because of the excess water, the site is wetter than Oldrobe Forest. Because so much moisture is absorbed, the weight of the clothes feels heavy. Maybe, as Shino said, the fact that the clothes I was wearing was a coat had an effect.
However, I basically don’t carry other clothing with me, and this coat has the highest defense power. Since monsters have been encountered while exploring the site, this coat cannot be removed no matter how heavy it is.
"This is the more appropriate equipment at the moment and cannot be taken off."
As he said this, he looked back. Speaking of Shino who keeps saying hello, she still has a highly visible design, wearing a green-based light outfit and a blue scarf. This is the combat uniform that I have worn since I came into this world, but it does not become heavy even if it absorbs water.
"Shino's is good, it doesn't seem too heavy."
“Without anything like that, it can be a little difficult to move.”
"Really? Looks like always."
"It just looks like that, but it's actually pretty heavy."
Although I could usually believe Shino's words at any time, but now I doubt whether I should believe it. Shino's costume clearly shows more skin and less cloth than in "SAo" and "ALo". It doesn't seem to absorb water that much either.
Maybe it's because he said it, but the suspicion is still not eliminated.
"Even so, there aren't any enemies around here."
Looking around with Shino muttering. This is considered to be the original area of Everest's lakes and swamps, but because it is a waterside with strong depth, you can see crab-shaped monsters and fish-shaped monsters with legs that are classified as "aquatic monsters". thing.
An object that is a lively addition to the area, it is also designed to be reminiscent of seaweed and coral reefs. It is reminiscent of a group of aquatic monsters and objects in the sea, as well as a vast waterside.
So, this should be a coral reef area where land and sea are mixed. This is absolutely impossible in reality, and it is a scene that can only be realized in the virtual world.
Although it is the aquatic monsters, the number of battles here is very small compared to the Alderob Forest and Lystria Prairie. A little fighting can annihilate the monsters in the area. Therefore, the only things here now are the land and sea corals, the water flowing from the rocks, and the two figures of Shino and me.
"Maybe there are only a small number of monsters in this area. Or there are very few monsters on this field itself."
If this is the case, it can be said that this is a place that is not suitable for your level. It is the same as the non-combat areas on the 22nd and 80th floors of Einclade, the floating city formed based on this idle rotation.
Players who pursue level and intensity will rush over in a hurry, but players who pursue leisure as their motto will definitely be left behind.
There are no other players visible now, and as expected, we are the only ones present. Everyone seems to be moving forward.
"In other words, players don't come here very often, and there are no monsters. It's almost the same place as in the circle."
"Don't be like this. It seems that not many people will explore an area carefully."
This time I didn't bring my "familiar" Riro. Lelan is now going to other stadiums with Strea and others, collecting information like Argo. Needless to say, that information was about the mission of the premiere.
The Lystria Steppe and Aldrobe Forest defeated the regional boss, but there are still many places that have not yet been explored. I'm exploring that unexplored place to see if there's information relevant to the premiere's mission.
Sinon and I were also looking for information related to the premiere mission, and came to this "Gem Peak Lake Group". Because this is the first area, you can't see anything similar, but you will definitely find it if you go forward.
"There seems to be nothing here. Let's move forward quickly——"
"Wait, Kirito."
Being greeted suddenly, I turned to Shino again. Shino stretched out her hand to the water on the ground and made a splashing sound. It seemed like he was checking what was in the water.
“Although it’s the water here, isn’t it beautiful?”
"Eh?"
After hearing this, I suddenly stared at the ground. The ground where we rested our feet was soaked up to ankle level. The water glistened in the sunlight, making the ground below clearer than anything else.
It should be said that it is pure water without impurities. It can also be used for drinking water. If you put it in a bottle and take it back to the street, it can also be used as an ingredient for cooking. Again I was a little surprised to notice that this filled the entire area.
"It is indeed very clean water. Is all the water in this area like this?"
"Yes. And there are no monsters or players here."
Shino, who was about to say something, turned around and walked out.
Surprised, he followed the sharp turn and found that the amount of water had increased. Sinon made a depression in the ground to make scales according to her own thoughts. As Shino followed, the depression became deeper and the amount of water became higher.
When the guide Shino stopped. The place where we are is the place where you get off the stairs instead of the Rimstone swimming pool that is common in places like Stalactite Cave. It is the bottom of a large depression. The volume of water was ankle-high and my shoes were flooded.
There were no treasure chests or monsters around. There really is nothing but pure water under your feet. If you don't ask, it seems that Shino's reason for coming here is incomprehensible.
"Shino, where is this?"
Immediately afterwards, Sinon took off her boots, loosened the belt around her waist, and removed the equipment covering her legs. He exposed his feet, soaked them in the water, and turned around to look back at me. Because the equipment was suddenly removed, something cold flew to my face when I couldn't help but feel excited.
"Wow!?"
I raised my voice and wiped my face in surprise, getting water on my hands. Like the water that soaks the ground and your feet. Then, Shino in front of me was doing a light kick, her hands were crossed behind her, and she was looking at me.
"The water is so clean, there are no monsters and no one should take a bath."
Shino's cheeks turned slightly cherry blossom color with an expectant expression.
I looked down at the ground again. The clear pure water here can be used as a comfortable cold drink or for bathing.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, making it the most suitable weather setting for bathing.
\"Are you playing in the water? I'm telling you, then I won't be polite.\"
"I'm going to get soaked, okay?"
"That's what I mean too. I'll make you wet!"
Saying this, I scooped up the pure water at my feet and threw it to Shino. Along with the "click" sound, the water hit Sinon's face, making a "click" sound that was not unpleasant.
Get water from your hair to drip onto the bottom plate Then, this time Shino splashed the water out with her feet, I took off my shoes while rolling up my pants, took off the coat I just mentioned, and turned it into a tank top. At this time, the water splashed on Xue Nong's chest flew over, and the top of the tank was also flooded.
In order to return the favor, I kicked the water with my bare feet and covered Shino's body with it. She was soaked from her chest to her feet. She must have laughed happily and splashed the water with both hands. The amount was more than I expected, and this time I was soaked from head to toe.
The water that came in was very cold, and it was very comfortable to bathe in. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, we're both wet!"
"It's not even close! I haven't washed enough yet!"
"Then, let's go again!"
I used my hands and feet to splash a lot of water, wet Shi Nai's body, and Shi Nai splashed water again, wet my body. The two have been soaked from the top to the toes.
When the bathing is like this, when does it start? What is most memorable is the low grade of elementary school students. It was really just in the low grade. After the senior grade and middle school students in elementary school, they did not enjoy the fun of water like this, and the time to stay in the room became longer.
"Speaking of Shi Nai, I feel pretty good today!"
"Because you are with me! Because you are with me, I am very happy!"
After speaking, Shi Nai splashed the water again. That face became the expression of a girl who had a happier girl.
The same is true of poetry. In the memory in the mind, there is no poem to go out to take a bath in the water like this. There is no such experience when I am at the same age, as if I do my best in the room, so this can be said to be the first time I play with water.
I am now playing water with Poetry, who experienced water for the first time. Maybe it's just playing with water, but you can feel so happy, this is because of it.
"Ah hahaha, so comfortable!"
"It's great, really!"
Shi Nai's water with a clicked sound made the same sound, and I repeatedly immersed Shi Nai in the water. I have n’t experienced things when I was a kid, and I have only experienced it now, and it ’s us who enjoyed that kind of happiness.
"Kirito!"
"Huh? Wow!"
Picking up the water as much as me, when she was about to water, Shi Nai jumped up first, and her feet were in front of me. After splashing water, a lot of water flew to the body at once, and Poetry was stored together.
I never thought that I would reach Poetry's weight
"Ah, wow!"
"ah!"
I failed to support Shi Nai's weight, and fell to the ground in this way. Along with the loud noise, the huge water rose centered on me, and a large amount of water touched my body.
When the water was over, my whole body was soaked, and the poem holding my body was soaked. Then use my eyes to look at me with my eyes.
Her black eyes were together with my black eyes for a few seconds. She smiled on her face and smiled loudly. I am not able to support weight, or is it strange that I am so wet? Although I did n’t know the reason, I really invited me that laughed, and I had to laugh, and soon I started to laugh.
After the two laughed for ten seconds, Shi Nai stopped laughing first, and Shi Nai looked very comfortable to rub his face to my chest. It's like I want to feel all me.
The whole body is soaked, but it does not feel nauseous, but the cold of the water wrapped in is comfortable. And only poetry is warm, so it is no longer more comfortable than this.
"Hey, Kirito"
"Um?"
"I. This is the first time I have played with water."
Sure enough, I think. Poetry is as in memory, and never play water like this. I held the back of the poem of the foster body with my hand.
"Yeah, you have always been indoor factions."
"Well, I have never thought about taking a bath like this and who played with water. Moms have never played like this."
Shi Nai raised his head again in my heart. Just look at me like this.
"It's so happy to play water like this. It's really great to see you for the first time. Thank you, Kirito."
Looking at the cheeks stained with cherry blossoms, I also felt that my cheeks were warm again.
Speaking of what has done, it is obviously just playing with water, but thanked this extent. For poetry, this kind of ordinary thing is not ordinary, but a special thing.
"If you are grateful when you are playing with water, I don't know what to say."
"Because this is true, I have never played with anyone like this."
"yes."
Sure enough, in Shima's memory, he did not go to play with his parents or family. Although it was just speculation, her mother and grandparents actually wanted her to do such a thing, but maybe she couldn't let her do it.
Sure enough, for poetry, there are many common things for ordinary things. It's not special to make that special incident, maybe what I should do. Thinking like this, I put my hand on Shi Nai's soaked head.
"Let me talk about it first, Poetry."
"Eh?"
"I said before, just with us, and in reality, I also got married, Strea, and Lan gave it to the body. The daughter's younger brother and sister will be. Play like this. Whether it is mountains, sea or river, play with your family to play with water. "
Shi Nai showed a little blank expression. I don't know how to deal with it. I may say too fast now. A little anxious in my heart, I said again.
"Ah, no, this is just my imagination. Just, if you can do this, it will be very happy."
"I also"
"Eh?"
Poetry tilted her head slightly, as if asking.
"Even if I am like this, can I do that kind of thing? Can you play with your children?" Can you do it? "
Shi Nai didn't do anything to play with others, and did not do it. Therefore, once you have a child, if you are asked if you can do it, it may become uneasy.
I think that mood was understood and nodded without hesitation.
\ "It's okay, you can. \"
"Really?"
"Of course. And it's not you alone. Because I'm with you. Two people don't, everyone, play with the born children. For this reason, I will do my best for you."
Shi Nai showed a blank look again, and soon showed a calm smile and opened her lips.
"I think I can do it like this. It's incredible."
"Really? But I'm serious."
\ "I understand, so I also love you that you really give me \"
I used my lips to accept Shi Nai's lips close to that sentence.
On this ground that is intertwined by a variety of countries and culture, two long trees called "Shengda Tree" a long time ago, there were two witch maids.
Due to the grace of \ "Shengda Tree \" and the witch, different cultures of countries and residents living there did not live in a fight, but once a war occurred between the elves.
The war gradually expanded its size, and even the races and countries outside the elves were involved in it. The two witch who decided to end into chaos itself and swallow the world pray to \ "Shengda Tree \", cut the earth into a circular shape and float in the air.
The floating ground gathered together to form a shape, and soon formed a castle shape.
This is the \ "Floating City Ain Claid \".
"This is the stage setting of Ein Claid and \" cutting the ground \ "."
Speaking there, I ended the explanation.
The place where we are now is a room of the "Starting Street". Here there was a exchange of information collected with you. On the way to everyone who collected information related to the premiere task, the Li Fa, Shi Nai, and Youji who participated in SAO in the middle of the way "What is the setting of the original Iyin round?" What is the significance of a similar name. "
Therefore, I said the connection between the Ain Round and Ain Claid and the worldview. Even when it comes to the end, the three nodded several times with understanding.
"This is the case. It was born from Ein Claid."
Like the Lee Fa who nodded, I nodded. At the beginning of SAO, Li Hua was completely interested in the game, so the setting of SAO will make people feel fresh.
"Yes. So there is a similar part of Ain Claid, in this Ayin round."
"Then, is it the two witch and the Saint -Da tree? There is no similar thing yet. Because the place where Iin Claid cuts the earth is the Aiin round here, so I think there is such a good thing."
I don't understand what Shi Nai said.
Although we have captured the Great Grassland, the Old Robbus Forest, and the Monada Peak Lake Group, they are all full of things that I can't see in Ein Claid. thing.
As Shi Nai said, what I met is the other things in the "beginning of the street" that are fresh. If you have not found something that is considered to be a "sacred tree", you can't find the activities related to it.
"Isn't this a plan to be implemented in the future? Indeed, did you say what is the Grand Quest?"
"Yeah. Maybe the big task that Seven said is related to the \" earth cut ", \" Shengda Tree \ "."
As soon as Liz Bett and Silicon dioxide spoke, the people around nodded agreed.
When talking about the premiere before, Qi accidentally leaked the existence of \ "SAO \" officially installed at the beginning of the official service at the beginning of the service. Although the content was not leaked, it was true that it was only installed.
When I heard that, I also considered, but this "Grand Quest \" is related to the birth of Ein Claid, the task of "Shengda Tree \" and the witch of the two. Because \ "The earth cuts \" can be said to be such a big activity.
Here there was a reaction than anyone to serve as the Captain Diabel, who was the captain of the intelligence collection.
"Does this have to do with the information collected this time? I always feel that I have collected a lot of information that contains similar keywords."
\ "Shengda Tree \", \ "two witch maids \", \ "earth cut". Gathering language related to the language related to the creation of Aine Clet in the big mission gathers here.
There are several information collected by people collected by Diabel, Kam, Asner and other people. One is about a temple that has been there so far. There must be a temple in the place where the boss of the area is overwhelmed, and the glowing ovate stones are placed inside.
Although after getting stones, in the survey here, this temple is called the "Temple of the Stone Festival", and the resettlement ovory is one of the symbols of the goddess "Holy Stone" regardless of everything.
Moreover, according to the information released by Liz Bate and others, legends were left in a hotel in a part of the venue. A long time ago, the goddess sent "Holy Stone" to the ground for his strength for people. It happened.
In order to prevent that war, the five existing "holy stones" were sealed at the deepest part of the temples in various places -this is all the information collected by partners.
"As Diabel said. There are myths like goddess and holy stone. Although it feels different from Ein Claid's creation myth, it feels very similar."
Kam said while doing his arms, and everyone turned his eyes to the premiere sitting next to me.
Indeed, many of the information collected here is a keyword related to myths such as goddess, "Holy Stone", and "Temple of Stone Festival".
Then go to the temple under the guidance of \ "Holy Stone \". The actual \ "Holy Stone \" is the premiere, so it is natural to feel that the relationship between this myth and the premiere.
"Isn't the premiere the descendant of that goddess?"
\ "Or the goddess, this is also related to the" earth cutting \ "that Kirito said. \"
Filiia, full of exploration, mumbled without destroying the calm Lan, and the surrounding partners began to send out the sound of "the premiere will cause 'earth cuts'?" "The premiere is the witch?"
Indeed, Diabel and Kam, many of the information collected by everyone feels consistent with the premiere tasks, and is also connected to the myth conveyed by the idol round. In particular, \ "Holy Stone \" and the goddess look quite connected.
However, the myth and Ein Claid's creation myth is a different story. The description of the goddess is the setting of the witch with \ "Shengda Tree \".
If there is a task related to the myth of the creation of the world \ Eunclaide's myth \ Earth ", this should be called a big task.
That big task cannot be installed in the Beta test. The seven of the developers said that "the big task is not installed in the Beta test", so yes.
"But the big task will not be installed before the service is officially started. The premiere task is not just similar to mythology."
What Shi Nai and I said, everyone's voice became "really", "mythology and premiere".
The information collected by everyone is not wrong. The stones obtained by the premiere are also the "holy stone" circulating in the Legend of the Elin Round. It is very fast to link the premiere with \ "cutting the earth \".
"\" Shengda Tree \ "? Big Tree Big Tree"
At this time, the source of the sound came from the ear suddenly noticed. Although it is the premiere, the expression seems to be looking for something, or what you think of. In this way, and the basis of the tree, the tree foundation is repeated.
The premiere suddenly stood up. The "!" Logo showed the task on its head. Everyone was a little surprised by the posture of the sign after the big score, and Li Fa made a big voice.
"This is the task? The premiere, is there anything stuck?"
The premiere of standing up slowly moved my head and turned my face to me. At that time, I found that I was closest to the premiere position.
"Premiere?"
"Kirito, I have a place I want you to take me."
The Prime Minister said in a slightly mechanical way. There is no doubt that the task happened as before. However, if I don't tell me the specific location, I can't go anywhere, and this has not changed.
"Do you know where is there?"
"Gem Peak Lake Group North North"
The tackling of the Mount Everest Lake is still at the beginning, and now it is promoted to the west along the terrain. The route used in the strategy is walking westward. If you walk westward, you can go to the deepest part of the region, but the place to the north is the premiere, so what is indeed there.
"Is it the north of the Lake Lake Marsh in Mount Everest? The capture is west, is it trying to deviate?"
I remembered something at that time. This is the message that Elis told me in the form of close secrets.
At that time, Elis said that he went to the north of the next area of the Ord Robe Forest.
And now, the premiere also said that it is going to the north of the Gemston Peak Lake, and it really is in the north.
Why did Elis previously care about whether to know this, but now I decide to promote the premiere task first.
"Let's go there to see the premiere. Because it is the premiere, there will be no mistakes because it is the premiere."
After nodding Lan, I turned to everyone. Everyone has turned my sight to me.
"Yeah. Okay, Shi Nai and I look north with Lan. Others please continue to explore the maps and strategies."
After watching everyone's answer and nodding, we packed that place and walked out of the inn. In this way, move towards the "starting street" movement square, and through many players who come and go.
Soon, the transfer door was also shown in the premiere.
The northern part of the Mount Everest is the forest area. Although not like the Ord Rob Forest, the trees are lush and are surrounded by strong moisture.
