The girl's voice seemed a little low. The way he talks is also completely different from the Prime Minister. However, he did not deny that they were a family. The girl continued, and the Prime Minister smiled.
\"And our master wants you to act with me to achieve our goal. There is no Holy Stone here. Now, come with us to the next location. Fulfill the master's wish and create Aincrad.\"
After hearing the girl's words, everyone except Genesis was speechless. The girl is supposed to be an NPC, but she knows everything. What we are trying to do, what will happen in the end, what will be born after the disaster is over.
The most incredible thing is that this girl actually wants to get into trouble herself.
The Prime Minister asked, his tone even more confused after hearing the words of a girl who looked exactly like him.
\"Ah, what does making Aincrad mean? Why must we make Aincrad?\"
I was a little surprised by the Prime Minister's remarks. Premier thought he hadn't heard about the disaster on Cardinal and the birth of Aincrad that would bring about the collapse of the world, but it seems he listened out of hunger. The girl raised her right hand slightly and answered the questions at the premiere.
\"If we gain true power, we can create Aincrad. Create Aincrad, and the world will collapse. Then, everyone who hurt us will disappear, along with the entire world. I did it. \"
But we will not perish. For we will destroy those who stand in our way. And Aincrad is the last paradise for us where we can survive without being persecuted by anyone. Build it with us and take vengeance on those who persecute us. "
The girl was speaking to the premiere with firm eyes. The content is also surprising. It's unknown how much damage Aincrad's creation will cause, and most importantly, there's no guarantee that the Chancellor and the girl will be safe at the time of Aincrad's creation.
What's more, she clearly wants to destroy the world. They plan to involve the world in revenge by wiping out all those who persecuted them. Who on earth could instill such a thing in this girl?
Her eyes were quickly caught, and I immediately glared at the swordsman who was the girl's companion. Sure enough, his attitude of provoking us is still the same as before.
"Genesis, you are the one who brought this up? Do you really intend to destroy this world?"
"Ah, by the way, I have played many VR games so far, but I have never seen a world collapse event. Do you want to see it too? I want to see this super-show the place where the world collapses to the greatest extent."
I think what Genesis said was a little inappropriate. This world is more than just a game. This is a world actually inhabited by residents called Npcs. Are you saying that when you looked at the specs you didn't understand that Npcs can never be resurrected?
"Then what will happen to them when the world collapses? What will happen to other NPCs!?"
"You may die! But it doesn't matter. This world is VRmmo after all, it is virtual reality. No matter what the outcome is, it is none of our business!"
"This is not real! This world is the real world to them. This is the real world to them!!"
A heat welled up in my chest and came out in the form of words. The Prime Minister glanced at me who was arguing with Genesis, and then turned his attention back to the girl in front of him.
"In this world, there are many people living and living. I think we should not just rely on our own will to destroy the world they live in. Why do you want to do this? So, you want to destroy this world." world? Why should we respect the master's will to destroy the world? "
The girl was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth. As I watched, my face was filled with anger.
"You mean you don't hate them? The ones who call us a rare mob and try to kill us. The ones who persecute us, attack us, try to rob us. Even you hate them. There must be some damage done, to A try on his life.”
The Prime Minister's eyes were a little downcast. The rare mobs we are talking about are probably the malicious mobs among our players. They attack NPCs, put them in traps, try to kill them, and try to get something that only they can be happy with. The Prime Minister's life was threatened by them and we saved her.
After remembering so much, I felt something tugging at me, but before I could say anything, the Prime Minister answered.
\"It is true that someone attacked us. However, there are not only such people in this world. There are also people like Kirito and Sinon who protect us. There are also many people who have become friends with us, so I don't think so.\" Think we'll destroy the world in revenge. "
Shino and I were both shocked. Now, perhaps for the first time, the Prime Minister has spoken out what is on his mind and what is hidden in his heart. Is this what the Prime Minister thinks of us? There was no time to dwell on such emotions. The girl became even more angry and no longer glared at the Prime Minister but at me.
"They're not good people! They promised to protect me, but they never did. They didn't even try to protect us!"
When I heard the girl scream, I felt a light flash inside me. I finally understood the true nature of what was bothering me.
As we began our conquest of Gemstone Lake, we fought off players who were targeting the Chancellor and protected her. However, the Prime Minister's reaction at that time was very strange, saying that I was being targeted. She didn't respond at all like she normally would. However, when I saw her again, she was back to her old self.
I've always wondered what happened to the Prime Minister, and now the mystery is finally solved.
It wasn't the premiere that premiered at that time, but this girl.
Finally, I figured out the source of this girl's desire for revenge. Of course the Prime Minister is safe because she is protected by us, but this girl is not. Instead of being protected by us, they continue to be targeted by malicious actors.
That's why she has such a great desire to take revenge on players.
"I didn't expect it was us who protected you back then."
"Yes, Black Dragon Swordsman, you have never appeared in front of me since then. Just like them, you only think about yourself and put me in danger. I have been exposing myself!"
Faced with the girl's anger, Shino shook her head.
"That's not true! We really want to protect you-"
The girl interrupted Shino and drew her sword. It is not a thin sword like the Prime Minister, but a long sword like the Creation. The girl held a steel plate-like sword that was larger than herself, showing hostility.
"Master, these guys are still an obstacle. They are the obvious enemies of the master. Let's get rid of them here."
As if in response to the girl's voice, Anubis behind Genesis roared and got ready. Disturbingly, the girl and Anubis seemed serious about fighting us. It's hard to believe that her hostility to us and her desire for revenge is so deep-rooted.
However, unexpectedly, it was the Master of Creation who stopped the girl and the Black Wolf Dragon. Genesis stretched his arm out in front of the girl and told her to stop.
"No, this won't work. We can't fight."
\"Wha, why?! The enemy is right in front of me!?\"
\"I think it's fine as long as they attack you, but it's even worse if you turn into a blue cursor. It's boring if you can't continue the mission you've already completed.\"
Genesis looked from the girl to me. His eyes were like those of a ferocious hunter.
"Mr. Black Dragon Swordsman, if you want to save the world so much, stop me with force. Use your dual-wielding skills to defeat me like a hero. Who will get the last holy stone? Oona?"
After saying these words, Genesis expanded the window and started operating quickly. The next moment, Genesis and his team were enveloped in blue light and disappeared. Apparently he used teleportation. At the same time, the surrounding scenery also began to change. Soon, the tunnel inside the stone mountain turned into a stone mountain.
After the mission is completed, the copy map is released.
Progress was made on a priority task that should not have been undertaken. Shino seemed to realize this and shouted to me.
\"Kirito, that guy\"
Instinctively I put my head in one hand.
This is an extremely bad development. The Hand's twin sisters, who must be protected, are in Genesis's hands, and she strongly supports the creation of Aincrad.
The person who caused all this is none other than us players. It seems that the consequences of all the evil deeds have now been repaid.
Regardless, I learned so much from this exploration. One of the things we want to do here is sort out the information with everyone.
"Let's go back to find everyone first and talk about it later."
Shino and Lilan both obeyed my instructions and nodded, but only the Prime Minister nodded slightly later.
After completing the Prime Minister's mission, we went home.
There, we gathered the originally scattered people together again and talked about this series of things. It was considered a strategy meeting, but everyone was still stunned for a moment. After all, it happened that the Prime Minister's twin sister, who should be called another goddess, actually traveled to Genesis. No wonder everyone is surprised.
Not only that, but what's worse is that the twin sisters learn that the player hates humans strongly and wants to create Aincrad to take revenge.
The Prime Minister behaves differently from other NPCs and is regarded by players as a rare thug, and his life is sometimes threatened. After determining she had an important role to play, we decided to protect her. From then on, the Prime Minister's life was no longer threatened, and no one called her anymore.
However, we cannot notice each other's presence. The other is left unprotected, treated as a rare mob, and his life continues to be threatened. In the end, she went to Genesis, which didn't care about other players at all. It can only be said that the hatred of humans by the other twin who should be called the goddess is inevitable. .tower.
Everyone seems to want to conclude that getting picked up by Genesis is the worst thing that could happen, but that's not a problem that can be solved by blaming Genesis alone. The current situation is caused by a combination of the worst factors.
However, this does not mean there is no light. I don’t know what Genesis will do. However, I am sure that he will come out and advance the Prime Minister's mission, and as we enter the final stages of the Prime Minister's ground mission, some of the information and elements related to the ground mission will come to us. In addition, there may be something related to the ground mission hidden in the newly liberated Altrum Fortress. If you go around them, you may encounter Genesis, who is accompanied by another goddess.
Now let's explore on the ground first to see if there is any information related to the ground mission. If we encounter Genesis, we have to stop him this time and protect another goddess. This will be completely derailed. Ground mission.
To do this, we first decided to explore the use of human waves tactics, and finally we decided to stick with our usual tactics. All headed for the battlefield, many of them heading for the Fortress of Altrum. To prevent the Cardinal's catastrophe with our own hands.
I wanted to do the same, but Alice, who kept logging in after returning home, told me to get out, so Shino and I had to stay at home.
"Now, now, now, this is a big deal and I can't believe Genesis is carrying a girl that could be called a prime minister twin."
Alice sat across from the chair where Shino and I sat side by side. When I told everyone about Genesis and the Chancellor's twin sisters, Alice also heard it, but she just remained silent and didn't say anything. When she stopped Shino and I, she finally spoke.
"I didn't know there were twins at the premiere. They looked"
"I heard that you have a deep hatred for humans."
"Yes"
The look on the twin girls' faces in the premiere when they talk about the reasons for creating Aincrad is the look on their faces when they reveal their true feelings. The anger and hatred toward humanity that built up inside that girl was real.
Shino, who had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, lowered his head and asked.
"Are we the players who caused all this? Why is that girl like this?"
Alice picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of the contents. Tea also met our needs. This is a drink that Alice has been drinking since "SAo", and it naturally exists in "SAo" as well.
"Now that I think about it, when I go to the City of Origin, I sometimes find people talking about rare monsters, or how they see rare monsters, but she has been targeted by them. You did it." "While we are not here Be careful. If this goes on for too long, you might start to hate humans. I regret not being able to protect you."
I agree with Alice.
I'm sure she started out with nothing, just like the premiere. No, maybe he had stronger emotional Kirito nature than the Prime Minister from the beginning. However, it certainly does not contain any anger or hatred towards humans.
She wouldn't feel so angry and hateful if she was protected and treated by people who wouldn't hurt her like they did in the premiere. In the end, it was our players who filled her heart with black mud called anger and hatred, making her heart muddy. She is just a victim. We the players - we are the oppressed, unilaterally oppressed without humanity's knowledge.
Just when he was about to speak, Shino spoke first.
"I think I can understand how that girl feels."
Alice and I both reacted and looked at Shino at the same time. Shino put her slender hands on her chest.
\"Before I met Alice and Teacher Airi, I had always closed my heart. I couldn't trust anyone, and I couldn't accept help from anyone. Even if someone tried to help me, I couldn't accept it."
Ever since Sinon got involved in an incident that was supposed to be innocent, Sinon\/Sinon has been bullied by the people around her. I couldn't help but hate how terrible it was, how much it tortured Shino's heart and spirit, and Shino suffered terribly because of it. After all, he was able to have a real connection with her in "SAo" and learn everything about her.
To this day, Shino still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (ptSd) due to that incident and the oppression of the ruthless people around her. That's why she went to Alice for treatment.
"If I hadn't met Dr. Airi, hadn't been treated, hadn't met everyone, hadn't met Kirito I would still be heartbroken." Maybe he was closed off, but just like that girl, he hated those around him people, or want revenge. "
If you ask me, Shino is in a similar situation to that girl. Both Shino and the girl were oppressed by people around them who didn't understand them, and were locked up in a harsh environment where they couldn't get help from anyone, didn't have anyone to protect them, and couldn't trust anyone. .
Before Shino really lost faith in humans and was completely twisted inside, she was able to come to Alice and us, which saved her from getting into trouble, but the girl couldn't. Shino and that girl are light and shadow.
"So I felt like I could relate to what that girl was thinking and the pain that she was going through. I felt like that girl was alone and there was no one to help her."
Alice stared at Shino and then breathed a sigh of relief. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at Shino again.
\"Yes. Listen to you, the Prime Minister twins are very similar to the Shino I treated. It can be said that you and the girl are almost in the same situation. Not only can I sympathize with you, but you don't have any feelings for me. Hostility Shinon, you have become more friendly.\"
Shino closed her eyes quietly. He thanked Alice silently.
Indeed, since receiving Alice's treatment, since meeting us, and since I vowed to protect her for the rest of my life, Sinon's heart has become richer - this is her nature - and she has begun to become kind. The proof is that Shino has no overt hostility towards the Prime Minister twins, while the Prime twins are openly hostile towards us. The reason she was able to get to this point was probably because Alice had a good attitude towards her. Of course, our achievements should also be firmly included.
"The world right now is a cold, icy place for that girl. I can't leave her in a place like that, and I'm sure you have no intention of doing that either."
"Yes, it was our fault that the girl got so sick, so I protected her no matter what and told her she was okay now."
When I expressed my thoughts, Shino also nodded.
That girl was cut off from contact, persecuted, had her life threatened, and continues to endure horrific things. I wanted to rescue that girl from the cold world, connect her with people, and heal her wounds. I want to join everyone in helping that girl, just like I did with Shino.
"I feel the same way. That girl, like the Prime Minister, has acquired rich humanity. She was originally a girl with a pure heart like the Prime Minister. The fact is that she did all this. We She should be allowed to do it." Yes, but we players must show compassion and cleanse the heart of that tainted girl. "
Shino and I nodded again. If we, the players, are the ones who hurt and pollute the people in this world, then we, the players, are also the ones who care, love and purify the people in this world. We must not allow the world to be destroyed and polluted.
When everyone gathered together again, Alice had to speak. After deciding again, Alice immediately put her elbows on the table.
"However, I did not expect that a vulnerability during the development phase would be exploited. I should have taken steps to strengthen security when I worked for the company that developed the game."
When Genesis told them they were going on an adventure with the Chancellor's twin daughters, everyone was worried about one thing. Why was Genesis able to steal our mission? Normally, only people who have a relationship with the player who is doing the mission can participate midway, but why can Genesis do this? Everyone wants to know this.
Yui and Jupiter gave this explanation. In this game, when a player performs a task, the task NPC will first record the player's ID. This will allow the quest NPC to recognize the player as the employer, preventing players other than the employer from continuing the quest without permission. With this system in place, we players can continue our missions without worrying about being interrupted.
However, the Prime Minister's case is different. In Prime, everything is set to "Null" so anyone can accept a mission and anyone can join midway or join.
That's not all. The primary mission, called Ground Mission, is an important mission rooted in the core of the game that requires repeated testing. If we logged the employer like any other task and made it impossible for all testers to complete it, we wouldn't realize how much effort and time it took to develop it. Stomach.
This is probably why the employer is not recorded as in a normal assignment and anyone can continue the assignment at any time. This is something you can't avoid when developing a game.
I'm not sure if Genesis knew this, but it was used as a loophole. Genesis, who took advantage of system vulnerabilities to participate in the ground mission, was naturally amused by the ground mission and was determined to complete it to the end.
Seeing this, Shino said angrily.
"Genesis for some reason, he came in in the middle of the mission. I don't know what he was thinking to continue this mission."
"It seems like he's not just harassing us. I'm sure he's the type of player who always wants to be at the top. He's the type of player who is relentless in his pursuit of being number one."
What Genesis picked up was a ground mission that had yet to be implemented. Since you can quickly discover its existence that others don't know about and conquer it, it's impossible not to get involved. Genesis must have worked really hard to stay on top and accomplish the feat of being the first to complete what should have been an unfinished job.
Alice continued as if she was answering me.
"He seems to be someone who will do whatever it takes to stay on top. He may use a lot of violent methods, such as digital drugs and cheating, to stop anyone from getting to the top."
I reacted to these words and was surprised. Genesis is using digital medicine.
\"Alice-san, do you know Genesis?\"
"No. However, when I compared what you and my informants told me about his sudden violent outbursts of strength during battle, I couldn't help but come to the conclusion that he was using digital drugs. That was the deciding factor. I heard About the characteristics of the strange group you were up against that day. Those using digital drugs were too similar to what was happening with Genesis. Genesis also used Crimson High."
Then Alice turned to me. Sometimes a piercing look appears.
\"Even if he uses something like that, he still wants to be the strongest. Kirito-kun, I think you can probably understand why he is so obsessed with power.\"
Shino looked at me in surprise, but she didn't have time to look back at me.
What Alice said was a revelation.
When I was trapped in SAo, I met Lilan and became a beast tamer. Before meeting Sinon, I was basically a solo player and always pursued an efficiency-focused strategy. At that time, I thought I could only survive in this extreme environment death game called "SAo" until the end, but now that I think about it, that was just an excuse.
As a solo player, I do have a sense of self-righteousness and want to be the best in this VRmmo called "SAo". [SAo] It was precisely because I had the desire to become the strongest swordsman, Kirito, that I dared to be alone - now I understand.
\"I understand. Before I met Shino and Lilan, I had been doing all the self-righteous things. It's not that I didn't want to be the strongest in SAo. I had been working hard to level up. I think the reason is this .\"Originally it was for survival, but now that I think about it, I want to be stronger than everyone else and become a strong person. In fact, I'm weak, so I at least want to be the strongest in VRmmo. I think so. "
Alice nodded and looked from me to the ceiling. However, the ceiling did not catch her eye.
"Everyone thinks so. This virtual world is basically free, and you can easily achieve things that cannot be achieved in the real world, so everyone is so excited. If you can't do it in the real world, then we will show you Find out how you can become the best in the virtual world.
Let the wishes that cannot be realized in reality come true in the virtual world. "
When Alice said this, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. Maybe it was when she went to "ALo" that Alice sometimes looked at me like this. However, he didn't care too much why she looked at him like this, because he rarely saw her, and even if he did, he would be back soon. Alice returned to her normal gaze and opened her mouth again.
"Genesis\" is probably the same. In "SAo\", his motivation is to become the strongest in the virtual world. When Kirito was still a single player in "SAo\", today's "Genesis" \"The same is true. You all have the same roots, so to speak."
I still can't deny it. In the final analysis, Genesis and I are both the same. We both want to become stronger and become the strongest person in the virtual world. If the twin miko and Shino beside Genesis are shadow and light, then my relationship with Genesis is probably similar. Which one is light and which one is shadow? Something interrupted her attempt to recognize Shino's voice.
\"——Kirito is the truly powerful person.\"
I couldn't help but look at Shino. Alice also looked at Shino in shock.
\"Kirito has always protected me. He fights like hell to protect me and he always really helps me. It's possible because Kirito is really strong. I think so. That's why I can trust Kirito .I think if it was Kirito, he'd be fine."
By the time I realized it, I was already whispering Shino's name. She looked sideways at me with a smile and said to Alice again.
"I believe that Kirito's strength is not inferior to Genesis. I can say with certainty that Kirito is indeed stronger."
It was said so clearly that I felt warm in my heart. I felt as though I had declared my love in public.
But at the same time, I felt anxious. Am I really that strong? In fact, I was able to reach this point only by miracles and opportunities. I thought I had no power at all. What is my strength?
\"Yes, Kirito-kun is very strong. In fact, you have become the strongest SAo player.\"
It was Alice who interrupted my thoughts. Alice looked at me obviously as if she wanted to say something. That's where your eye is drawn.
\"Kirito-san. Do you know why someone told you that?\"
The answer didn't come immediately.
Indeed, during my time in SAo, I was sometimes called the strongest player in Aincrad. Asuna once told me that it was precisely because of this reputation that I was able to become the second president of a large guild called the Blood Pact Knights. However, I never thought deeply about why this happened.
\"That's because you want to be strong in order to protect what you want to protect. The will in your heart to protect Shino and everyone fighting alongside you gives you strength. So you naturally seek strength, And you actually get it, become "the strongest player, the power you gain is a power that you can never get whether you use cheats or digital drugs, a power that is unattainable. "
Alice changed her position slightly, resting her elbows on the table.
"You still have that intention, don't you?"
I was taken aback when he said that. That's it. I also want to become stronger. In this case, even if Shino encounters a crisis like SAo, everyone will be safe. I want to be able to protect them, and I'm trying to get stronger.
\"I do. I have the desire to protect everyone and Shino.\"
"In this case, you can't afford to lose to Genesis. You, a person who has something you want to protect and is eager to truly protect it by becoming stronger, have lost to a selfish person who has nothing worth protecting. This is really It’s terrible. There’s nothing to say. And if that person was plotting to destroy the world, you wouldn’t have to say anything, right?”
After Alice told me, I checked what appeared in my chest. If Genesis is trying to destroy the world, I want to stop it. What I want to protect is everyone, including the inhabitants of this world, as well as the prime minister and her twin sister who were chosen as the Cardinal Disaster.
To protect the lives of people in this world, including the lives of Prime Ministers, we cannot let Genesis do what he wants to do to cause the Cardinal disaster. No matter how much Genesis used cheats and digital drugs to improve their game, they couldn't afford to lose.
"This world is a world where real life exists. If Genesis tries to threaten this world, I will stop his plan. I will defeat him and trigger the Ain he wants to trigger. I will stop Krudd's Create. Absolutely!”
After he finished speaking, I found that his voice was more enthusiastic than usual. Alice stared at me again and laughed loudly.
\"I'm very happy that it's Kirito-kun. He's the one who accepts this ground mission. It would be incredible if another player completed it.\"
The disaster on Cardinal and the birth of Aincrad can be said to be comparable to the huge crises experienced many times in "SAo". I don't think there are many players other than "SAo" survivors who can suppress something like this. Alice knew what he was talking about.
\"I beg you, Kirito-kun. Please protect this world that I happen to belong to. As one of the creators, I will do my best to cooperate.\"
Alice said to me in a pleading tone. What she said probably meant that I couldn't expect much help from her and that she was trusting everything to me. Alice started logging in irregularly from \"ALo\", and that didn't change even after moving to \"SAo\".
We don't expect Alice's cooperation, we will use our own hands to protect this "SAo". I thought deeply in my mind and took a deep breath.
Just after that. The front door opens from the outside, allowing fresh air to enter the house. Don’t you know that everyone who went out to explore has returned? When I turned to greet the three of them, I was a little surprised. The person who walked into the room was the Prime Minister, who was supposed to go to the City of Origin with Riran, Yui and others.
"Ah, Prime Minister, welcome back."
Even when I called him, the Prime Minister didn't respond. She lowered her head, and everyone including Riran, Yui, and others who were supposed to be with her disappeared. He was Yui - the one who entered the house.
Just when I was about to ask, "How are Rilan and Yui doing?", the Prime Minister walked towards me with small steps. This is obviously not the usual premiere, but even if I check the overhead, no task markers appear.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong?"
At this time, the Prime Minister finally raised his head. With a very sad expression on his face,
\"Kirito, my power is inhuman. Is this a disaster that will destroy the world? And where did Kirito and his friends come from?"
That's what he asked me. Kirito is now on his way to the venue. The location is the Fortress of Ultrum, and almost no time has passed since the beginning of the exploration. Our current location is a bit far from the entrance.
There are broken stone walls here and there, but they're not as complex as a maze. They had escaped the maze that swallowed up the lost adventurers who came here, and were able to move to the next area.
"Prime Minister, you said so"
\"Ah, it seems that the Prime Minister has grown up even more than we thought. We live in different worlds. I thought only Lilan and the others could understand this.\"
Kirito answered the voice that spoke to him.
Currently, Kirito has two companions with him. One of them was White Wolf Long Riran. He was an acquaintance, so naturally he accompanied her. The other was a blue-eyed girl with blond hair cut into a short bob, wearing light white and blue clothes that left her belly, neck and shoulders exposed.
It's my friend Philia from SAo, she's very knowledgeable, I think she's on par with Argo.
When Kirito leaves home and heads to the City of Origin, he meets up with Lilan and Filia. Lilan said that she had wanted to be with Kirito from the beginning, and Filia said that they were about to go to Ultrum Fortress.
Kirito was also heading to Altrum Fortress at that time, so it was perfect. When I asked her if she would explore with me, Philia agreed. They decided that Kirito, Lilan, and Filia would go to Ultrum Fortress.
The addition of Filia is an important ally for Kirito. A self-proclaimed treasure hunter who specializes in exploration and finding treasures, Philia successfully navigated the first maze of Ultrum Fortress and got Kirito and Lilan safely out before Kirito asked her to do so. and entered the next maze. area. He took me there
When he searched the console room, he got the coordinates, so he moved on without hesitation, but it wasn't something he could use for normal strategy, so Kirito's expectations of getting lost in the maze again were dashed. Ariadne's clue that leads her correctly through the maze and to the exit is Philia.
Filia was proud of being able to cross the maze, but Kirito could only respond weakly. Even though I was finally able to get out of the maze of loss, I couldn't be happier. Filia, who is very sensitive to all kinds of things, immediately noticed Kirito's strangeness and called him loudly, maybe because she was as knowledgeable as Argo, or maybe because she was like that. "In the end what happened?"
Nothing - I actually wanted to answer this question, but Filia's expression showed that she was worried about Kirito, so it seemed difficult to mislead her.
Kirito answered Filia's question and told everything that happened before Filia and Lilan met. Obviously, before he spoke, this would surprise Philia and Lilan, and everyone but those two.
Filia showed a strong expression of surprise, which was the reaction Kirito expected, and then a sad expression appeared on her face.
"That's why the Prime Minister is now afraid of his own power."
"I'm not sure. But I'm definitely confused."
"Of course. It's completely unacceptable that the power I intended to use to protect someone turned out to be the power of disaster that caused the world to collapse.
Although it has the outline of a wolf, I can see that Lilan's expression is sad. The story Kirito heard before the two of them met kept repeating in his mind.
After his conversation with Alice, Premier returned to the house. Kirito and his friends were surprised because the Prime Minister who was supposed to come in with Lilan, Yui and the others did not come in with anyone else, but what the Prime Minister said next left them speechless in surprise. Is such that.
The Prime Minister asked Kirito.
Where do you come from?
Is the power within me a disaster that will destroy the world?
The sudden incident left Kirito speechless and could only watch the premiere, but he still took back his words and asked.
Why do you ask such a question? the Prime Minister replied.
I thought vaguely for a while, but I felt that Kirito and the others were different from us. They calmly used a language that I didn't understand. Maybe Kirito and the others are from a different world than our own. She asked, and the "selfless power" in her body was the power to destroy the world, Kirito and the others knew this early on.
Kirito, Sinon, and even Alice couldn't answer this question. Although the Prime Minister is one of the NPCs living in this world, his intelligence and intelligence can be said to be the most developed among them. However, I just feel that this cannot be compared with Rilan and Yui at all.
However, she has actually grown to Kirito and others that she can recognize the extent of her as a foreigner. The level of growth and evolution that other NPCs cannot reach are occurring in the Prime Minister.
This surprised Kirito and others, but the prime minister ignored him, but questioned Kirito. What is the truth? No matter what I do, he won't let me escape, and I don't think I can escape.
Kirito, Shi Nai, and Alice finally told the truth that they came from the real world. The power of the Prime Minister depends on how to use it. What can really destroy the world. What would they happen if this world was destroyed? Talking freely, you can't meet. The Prime Minister listened to the story, but in the end he began to look very tired.
No matter how much the prime minister has grown and evolved, the truth must be too difficult. By noon today, the Prime Minister has experienced many things and a little tired. Now I need to lie down and rest -Kirito accepted Alice's suggestion and decided to lend the bedroom on the second floor to Plame.
The exhausted Priemir was taken to the bedroom on the second floor by Shi Nai and Alice, but before that, Alice said to Kirito: "We should explore with everyone. We should collect as much information as possible." Yes ,"He said.
Indeed, even if we are in a stagnation state, Cadidal's disaster will continue to develop, and information of this purpose will appear somewhere. It's not time to grasp the future trend.
Kirito quickly completed the preparation work and went to the starting capital. He felt sorry for inviting the two to participate in the premiere. When I told them this story, the chorus of the story weakened.
I thought it might be because this sentence was conveyed to Filia, but Filia's answer seemed to let me know that it was a misunderstanding.
"Prime Minister sauce is one of the mission of this world, right?"
`` There is no difference. Well, I am not sure who designed it because he is responsible for the ground task, and Cadidal is also concerned about it.
There is no problem with Lan's voice. The Prime Minister is NPC implemented in this world. Although there are a lot of doubts, the fact that it is NPC has not changed. However, Philia seems to have something. Kirito asked Filia while doubting.
"Filia, do you have any worries?"
Filia nodded and lifted her arms. Shi Nai often does so, but Filia rarely does so.
"Okay, if the Prime Minister-Chen is so different from others, I start to think that the Prime Minister-Chen is actually different. She pretends to be the NPC implemented in SA: O." Well, I guess that they are actually not actually not that it is actually not that it is not actually that it is not actually that it is actually not that it is not actually that it is not actually that they are actually not. NPC I started thinking like this. "
Kirito couldn't help but be surprised. The question of Filia asked is exactly the idea of Kirito.
Although it is subtle, Kirito still feels the growth of the Prime Minister. There is no doubt that the Prime Minister was created as one of the NPCs of this \ "SAO \", but it is too different from other NPCs. Not only is the recent growth speed and concentration, but also the acquisition of human nature and the awareness of the real world.
I thought this difference was just because the Prime Minister continued to interact with Kirito and others, but the Prime Minister's question just proved that this is not the case. As Filia said, the Prime Minister may be a different entity as the NPC.
Kirito said to a treasure hunter who had the same ideas as himself.
\ "Is Filia too? I think so too. \"
\ "Do Kirito think so too? \"
"Ah, this is the feeling of watching the premiere. There may be things we don't know in the premiere."
Speaking of which, Lilan was confused. Lilan also has the same AI as the Prime Minister, but does not belong to NPC. Whether it is SAO or \ "SAO \".
\ "What does it look like the task NPC is not a task NPC? \"
Filia looked up at Lilan and asked, Lan's look was unusually ugly.
"Lilan doesn't feel anything about the Prime Minister's sauce. You know, this is like the" Anima Box "that I learned when I was together with Jupiter."
Lilan shook her head and lowered her head. Girls with different skin tone but blonde exchanged their eyes. Immediately after, a "sound" passed to me.
"Indeed, AI, which is equipped with 'Anima Box' like us, can detect each other's signals, but we have never been able to detect the 'Anima Box' signal from the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister did not install" Anima Box ".
Filia said, "I understand." Her mouth bent into a bow. He seemed to worry about a question he didn't understand. In fact, the premiere is full of mysteries, and it is no wonder that Filia will have such a performance.
\ "In this way, the Prime Minister sauce is now a mysterious NPC. I can't agree with this.
What is the true identity of the Prime Minister? It seems that it will take a long time to tell the seventh and Alice to let them know. Now they are busy trying to stop Cardinel's disaster. It is best to wait for the bishop of the red clothes to calm down before investigating the Prime Minister himself.
"Well, after we stop the ground mission, we think about whether the Prime Minister has a real identity. Now, our primary task is not to destroy the world. Filia, can you ask you to search?"
Filia turned to look at Kirito and nodded. It's like he has been waiting for me.
"The map here is very smooth, and there are many intelligence, so let me send it to me!"
Filia said again proudly. In fact, Filia's exploration ability is the best among her friends, and when everyone synchronizes and expands the map of the field, Filia's exploration ability is the best among her friends. Most map data comes from the guidance of Filia, and I successfully passed through the maze of the Outrum fortress. You can leave the road to her.
"Okay. I just count on you."
"Okay, just rely on me! Come on, let's move forward!"
Hearing Kirito's words, Filia walked forward excitedly. Kirito and Lan began to follow him.
The time is around 15:00, and the sky above the Fortress Outrum in the afternoon is dark blue. Since this place has just been liberated, I have never explored at dusk or night. However, it can be seen from the beginning that the overall terrain is designed very complicated.
It was an ancient city. The walls and channels are like maze, and they are real maze, as if they can be safe even if they are attacked by enemy forces. The ruins of this structure exist in reality, but from the perspective of heights, it looks beautiful and majestic. From the perspective of this Outrum fortress, or through the back of the sky from the back of Lan, you can also see the spectacular scenery.
I doubt whether this place exists, but when I continue to find, I may be able to find it. What's more, Filia, who likes to bury the treasure buried, is also by her side. Maybe she can really lead them to there -Kirito and Filia walking side by side, full of expectations.
After about ten minutes, Kirito found a trace of change.
When they walked side by side, Filia was a little strange.
It's not that he is sick or something, but his behavior is like this. He occasionally look at his body, mainly around his chest, sometimes looking at him, and then quickly moved away. is suspicious. His face seemed to be slightly flushed.
Although I was just asked to leave them, but if the people who led the way performed suspiciously, I would still be disturbed. Kirito shouted to the treasure hunting girl who was bravely led by.
\ "Philia \"
"Wow!?"
Because Filia suddenly raised her voice, Kirito was also surprised. Filia also seemed surprised. Lan also seemed surprised.
"Oh, don't scare me."
"Okay, don't be surprised! You are surprised."
Kirito was angry, and "uh" was angry. Doesn't he seem to worry about it? When someone rebukes you for this, isn't it unreasonable that you are angry?
\ "What happened without suddenly? You don't know why it is strange. \"
"Uh uh uh"
Philia seemed a little anxious. Her face seemed more red. I want to know if it is just because I can't see it, so I feel uncomfortable. Kirito continued to ask.
"Maybe you are uncomfortable? It doesn't look like that."
"No, it's not like this! No problem, no problem!"
"Then why are you so anxious? This is really strange, dear."
After the question, Kirito found that his own statement was similar to Shi Nai's statement. Although the impact of Shi Nai's memory is almost completely disappeared, it still seems to have a significant impact. No, it is probably because she is with Poetry every day, and hears her way of speaking and the impact of talking. Filia crossed her hands behind her, and her face was slightly sideways aside, allowing Kirito to accept this fact in their minds.
\ "I found out that these members and I first met Kirito and Lilan for the first time, and when we went out to explore, it was the same."
Philia whispered that Kirito responded. Come to think of it, yes. When overcoming Ian Grandte, after meeting Filia in the Liz Better Army, the three of us went out to explore. As she said, the members here are Lan from that era.
"I want to come now. At that time, I was only me, Filia, and Lilan. I don't know if this is the case."
\ "Kirito, do you remember what happened at that time? \"
Philia strictly said that Kirito crooked her head. There were all kinds of information intertwined in their minds, and Kirito thought about it, trying to remember the memories of the time.
At that time, Liz Bate asked me to purchase the materials, but Filia told me that she knew where the material was, so I decided to go with her.
But the problem followed ...
"!!"
Kirito, who realized this, almost laughed. I realize everything at the same time. Why does Filia perform so suspicious? How did your face become red? What do she remember? I understand it all. Maybe my face blushed.
"Uh uh"
"I remember very clearly. Filia, that time you were eaten by the BOSS monster. So after Kirito was eaten by the BOSS monster, he deliberately rescued you and then came out with you. At that time, you naked naked.
The two of us turned around and faced the wolf dragon who accidentally attacked us. Filia roared, Kirito instinctively covered her face with one hand.
\ "Why, why do you say that!? I don’t want to remember! \"
""
\ "Kirito, don't remember! Don't remember!! \"
Filia called herself in panic, but this did not stop Kirito's memories. Everything was reproduced in the mind of Kirito.
At that time, Filia was eaten by the dinosaurs in the area where the material was located. Knowing that Philia would die if she stayed in her body, Kirito deliberately took advantage of the predatory attack of the head monster and jumped into its stomach. Then pulled Felia and walked out.
As a result, the two were saved, and the BOSS monsters were knocked down by Lilan's power. However, at this time, Filia's equipment was melted, and she was holding Kirito helplessly. Until now, after completing SAO, and doing various things with Shi Nai, Filia's body and the feeling at the time were still vivid. What's more, somehow, I also found that the body of Filia and Shi Nai was completely different from the touch to the temperature.
Of course, I did not tell Shi Nai. This is what I did not tell Shi Nai, and I decided not to tell her.
Kirito complained to those who brought back their memory. If he could, he wanted to send these memories into the forgetful place.
"Why do the two of you remind me of that time?"
\ "Because I mean I remember Kirito too, right? \"
Without Poetry's companion, I might feel that something is surging and boiling. For an ordinary boy, this is a normal and natural response. However, Kirito's body did not feel that way. I just feel embarrassed, but my body has no response.
Now it seems that I am okay -not to talk about the specific reasons first, Kirito said to Filia after the conclusion.
"Well, Filia, I'm fine, don't worry too much."
\ "Hmm!? What do you mean, don't worry so much!? Kirito remembers and he has a problem. \"
"Of course! I felt sorry for Philia at the time, and I still feel distressed until now!"
Kirito let go of all the thoughts. Filia looked at Kirito in confusion. Although her face was still red.
\ "Really, that's what I think. \"
"Yeah, I didn't think anything else."
Well, if I have to say something, I would say that I was really happy to help Filia at the time. If I couldn't save Filia at the time, I would lose another important friend in front of me, and Filia would not appear in this \ "SAO \". I was really glad that I could save Filia at the time, and she was not dead. "
What, I guess what you think more than you think -Kirito said so, he understood his feelings. Even so, I found that I didn't consider many things.
As for Filia, she turned her head behind her back and turned her head towards the direction of Kirito.
\ "Real poems are on a straight line \"
"?"
When Kirito asked again, Filia shook her head and answered.
\ "Although such a thing happened at the time, I was still grateful to Kirito. If Kirito did not jump out at that time, I would be dead now. I will not be here now. Because that is Embarrassing, but I don't hate it for that time. I still remember that Kirito was saved my benefactor "
Filia turned to look at Kirito, showing a smile.
\ "Kirito, I will say it again. Thank you for helping me at that time \"
Philia's statement is different from usual.
He is usually busy exploring and looking for treasures. In ALO, he is a hardcover treasure hunt, and even stayed in the mansion of the Speligan base camp for a whole day. The appearance and inside are like ruins. This is what I know. girl. However, this is not the case in Filia. She feels really young and cute. Perhaps, if he is a boy, not himself, he may feel his love and love for Filia here.
Unfortunately, Kirito who vowed to protect poetry did not feel that way. Thinking of the feeling of Filia's naked body, there is no response from the body, which may be related to this.
Although Kirito had some regrets in his heart, he still smiled.
"You're welcome, but this will not happen again in the future, you can rest assured."
Filia once again showed a surprised expression.
\ "Isn't this a coincidence! Kirito and Lilan, is this our secret? You must not tell others!? \"
Kirito sighed. It also coincides with Lan's sigh. The unusual is that the views between the "Beast Trainer" and the "familiar person" seem to overlap.
\ "Although I don't lie, can I speak? \" That is "
\ "I can't tell you even if I was tortured. Shi Nai would kill me \"
Due to Shi Nai's mental health, I can't talk about this. At that moment, Kirito thought he had encountered unfortunate experiences and made his mood complicated.
"Yo, finally found it, it's \" Black Dragon Swordsman \ ".
I felt like I was accidentally called out, and Kirito looked at that direction. When Kirito saw many figures in front of him, he shouted to them and asked them to hide behind the city wall. After Lan became a werewolf form, Kirito stared at the front by the wall.
Temporarily recognized a man with a fiery red hair and a black -haired girl.
