I can not believe it. The person in front of me is the person who was in the "Moonnight Black Cat Group" with me and was lost because of me. An important person that I wanted to protect but couldn't. My elder sister has a younger sister named Maki. The name is Zuozhi.
Sachi's facial features matched the girl in front of him very well. Kirito couldn't accept this sight. My mind was completely numb, I couldn't think straight, I couldn't accept things as they were. I can't believe everything.
\"fortunate?\"
Before I knew it, Shino was standing next to me. He was completely shocked because he saw Sachi who was supposed to be dead. So does my friend. The girl who was supposed to die was here, and she was fascinated by this unusual phenomenon and sight.
\"This, what is this? What is this?
Lilan's "voice" has been heard. He seemed completely shaken. Tia and Mary joined them.
"Why are you...?"
"what happened?"
Sachi attracted the attention of Kirito, Sinon and others, and nodded slightly to Kirito.
It's me, Kirito - she said silently. Then, Sachi turned around. To my beloved sister, whose appearance has become infinitely larger and more distorted than when we were together.
"Maki"
Sachi shouted in a clear voice. There was no fear or anger in his voice, the tone was directed at his beloved family. Makiri reacted to the sound.
"Yes? Well, really?\"
Makiri stopped attacking. Like Kirito and the others, his eyes were also attracted by Sachi and his whole body stiffened. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
\"Oh, sister, eh?\"
Makiri asked with excitement in her voice. In response to her sister's question, Sachi nodded again.
\"That's right. It's me, Maki.\"
\"Sister, oh, hey, sister, sister\"
Eventually, Magiri pinned his head down with all his arms except the one holding onto the battlefield. I started to suffer, like I was going to collapse. This is completely confusing.
The true purpose is to resurrect Sachi with the lives of all the inhabitants of this world. The plan is to resurrect Sachi when all life in this world is exhausted.
However, even though all life has not yet been absorbed, Sachi is still there. Although I don't remember resurrecting him, he is resurrecting. I don't understand why this is happening or what is going on.
The same goes for Kirito and the others, but Masakiri's situation is even worse.
"Xing, is it really you? Are you really Xing?"
Kirito repeated the same words again. If I didn't hear the same answer twice, I wouldn't understand the situation. The situation in front of me seemed to have no sense of reality. Fortunately, I didn't answer the question.
Sachi glanced at Kirito, smiled, and then closed his eyes. In the blink of an eye, his body was enveloped in white light, turning into a human figure and a ball of light. It was exactly the same as what Lilan, Jupiter, Yui, and Strea saw when they disappeared temporarily.
Sachi, who turned into a ball of light, floated like a firefly and flew directly into Masakiri's body. Seeing Sachi disappear into Makiri instantly, Kirito was about to reach out to catch him, but something strange happened.
Zhenqi, who seemed to be jumped up by Sachi, suddenly made a painful sound. Just when all six arms stopped moving and became stiff, a ray of light flashed across my head. The name "Majili" appeared, and only one "health bar" appeared.
Magiri can't do anything because he doesn't have that. Really finally got the "hp bar". The laws of the world were given to Magiri. Of course, I couldn't understand what was happening, but eventually Yui screamed in surprise.
"He really proposed the concept of hp! Is this Sachi-san's!?"
\"Yui, Zhenqie, what happened to Yuki!?\"
Jupiter answered Kirito's question. That didn't change the fact that he looked very surprised.
"Mr. Sachi has assimilated with Masaki. So he adjusted his HP bar to Masaki. It seems that he created hp for Masaki."
\"Moreover, Mahikiri's defense is now zero! This seems to have been created by Sachi-san by assimilating with Mahikiri. Now, Mahikiri can attack!\"
"Makiri's health is the same as the player's, and his defense is zero. With our power, we can defeat him!"
Yes—that’s what I thought immediately after hearing Jupiter’s words. Unlike previous bosses, Magiri only has 1 health point, and she has zero defense. No longer does everyone need to join forces, one person can easily defeat him with one blow.
However, what will happen to Makiri if he is defeated? And what will happen to Sachi, who is said to have assimilated with the truth? What happens when the final battle is decided?
Its influence was so great that Kirito was unable to take any action. So does my friend. Everyone stopped.
\"Kirito!!\"
Kirito was startled when he heard a sudden sound. The output method was the same as that of Lilan in werewolf form and Jupiter in "familiar" form, as if it echoed directly in his mind. The familiar "voice" ringing in my ears was Sachi's voice. She spoke to me from within the maqiri.
"fortunate!"
\"Kirito, please. Maki stop Maki. Now you can stop Makiri!\"
It was a pleading tone. Please stop Makiri. Even though he was in the real thing, Sachi was still attracted to him.
\"Sachi, wait. If you attack the current Maki, what will happen to you? What will happen to Maki too!?\"
\"Kirito saves Maki Maki is planning to destroy this world, which is the world Kirito and his friends live in.\"He is trying to get Kirito and the others involved in things like mine. There is nothing I can do now”
That's it. Makoto is still trying to resurrect Sachi by sucking the life out of the world's inhabitants. Sachi has been resurrected, but there is no sign that he will stop fawning over him. As proof, the lives of the inhabitants of this world are like shards of glass, constantly flowing towards reality. If this continues, Shinakiri will eventually steal the lives of everyone in the world.
Despite this, Kirito was unable to take a step forward. I'm convinced that if Maki is defeated, Sachi will disappear as well. Sachi’s HP was used on Maki—that’s what Jupiter said.
In other words, this is nothing more than an assimilation of Maki and Sachi's lives.
"Sasuke, you"
I don't know how he did it, but miraculously he came back to life. I came here to recapture the life I should have lost. I think I just met Maki, the sister I thought I would never see again. However, he is about to lose his life. Resurrection has no meaning.
\"I'm really sorry for letting Kirito do this and making him suffer.\" But please Kirito, please stop Maki and let Maki end it.
Sachi's pleas continued. Kirito was surprised by the content.
Fortunately, I already know. That maqiri couldn't be done. In fact, it should be over, but she couldn't end it because of her obsession with her sister and Kirito. That's why she pleads so hard.
Just after that. A huge shadow appeared in front of Kirito. This is none other than the 'familiar' Lilan.
"Rerun!"
\"Let me do it, Kirito. You don't have to bear your cross anymore. If you kill Makiri, you'll kill Sachi and Makiri this time. As a 'familiar' and an mhhp, I can't Make you suffer more.”
That's why I will eliminate Maki and Sachi on my behalf - Lilan seemed to be saying this, he was begging her and Sachi at the same time. Defeating the current Maki will result in killing Sachi.
Sachi's life, once taken away by SAo, will be taken away and destroyed again. He took away the life of Sachi, whom he swore to protect but was unable to protect. This is endless contradiction, endless irrationality, and endless absurdity.
However, if they don't, Maki will consume all life in this world. Not yet, but the lives of Premier and Tia will also be taken. Yui, Strea, Lilan and Jupiter are all mourning their precious family.
No one wants this. Everyone here - I believe Sachi is the same.
Also, Sachi has been directly begging Kirito to end Maki. It's not good for anyone, and it's Yui who's the one who's been begging. If he gives up Xing's request and lets others do it, then he gives up Xing's request and betrays Xing who believes in him.
And the other person ends up bearing the cross that killed Sachi and Maki. Someone who has nothing to do with anyone in Moonlight Black Cat.
Who should really end the Moonlight Black Cat Gang? Who has to end it? Kirito quickly thought of the answer to this question.
-I’m Yuiichi’s. I am the last member of "Moonlight Black Cat", and I am the one who asked Maki to take revenge and cause such a disaster. The cross born here is one I must bear.
This is something that only I can carry—— Kirito continued to take a step forward, and finally came to Lilan.
"Lilan. Thank you for saying that. But I can't let you do this."
Looking back, Lilan was surprised. The same goes for other reliable friends.
"Are you serious!? To defeat the current Zhenqiri is——\"
\"——It's to end Maki. I've said it many times. It was me who destroyed the Moonlight Black Cat and made Maki like this. Maki is like this now. This is also my fault.\"
Kirito made countless weak sounds. There were doubtful voices among his friends, but Kirito didn't care.
\"Yeah. In the end, it's all my fault. So, if possible, I wanted to use different ways to make up for Maki and Sachi. But that's it. Because I've been wandering, so I It's over. Something happened. This is the only way to make up for it. The only way to make up for it is to end Maki."
\"Kirito\"
\"Kirito-san\"
The ones who shouted were Shino and Asuna. She looked like she was about to cry, but she tried to stop me. but it is not the truth.
"So, I'll do it. Let me make amends."
Not hearing anyone's answer, Kirito looked back at Maki. Tamaki continues to suffer as the Black Cat God. Not knowing what to do or whom to retaliate against, they continue to suffer with nowhere to go. The situation could not be more tragic.
Immediately afterwards, Kirito felt someone watching him and turned to look at him. The cat dragon Hathor, who was far away from Xing, now also turned his attention. That's a typical feline expression, you don't know what it's thinking.
At this moment, Hathor gently closed her eyes, allowing her whole body to be enveloped in white light, and eventually turned into a small ball of light. The white ball of light flew silently, and when it approached Kirito, it landed on Kirito's left hand.
Just after Kirito was surprised, the ball of light suddenly exploded and a new appearance appeared. It is a trident with a three-part tip and luxurious decoration. This is probably a magic sword, a gun version of the holy sword. Maybe it's something the Gunslinger can get somewhere in SAo.
It replaces the Dark Repulser and sits as a sword in Kirito's left hand.
The spear seems to be a manifestation of the older sister's desire to stop her younger sister. Perhaps it was Hathor's thoughts that kept staring into Sachi's heart.
"Do your best to stop Maki. This is Sachi's wish." Kirito gritted his teeth, and the spear in his left hand seemed to be telling himself. If you need all your power, you need more.
Kirito quickly turned around and shouted to the 'acquaintance' who had such powerful power.
"Lilan, lend me your power like last time!!"
"Acquaintance" Lilan looked extremely surprised by this wish. The miracle that happened at the end of SAo's final battle, which decided the fate of all survivors, has yet to be repeated. However, in order to realize Sachi's wish to stop the current Maki, that miracle is necessary.
The beastmaster seemed to obey the trainer's wishes and made preparations.
\"I understand. Use me, Kirito-sama!!\"
With that said, Lilan opened her mouth and released a fire bomb. Almost at the same time, Lilan's body turned into light and was sucked into a fire bomb, which turned into a white fever bomb and rushed forward. It landed on Kirito's right hand. A burst of white light gave people the illusion of daytime, and even Maki's dark body was dyed white.
When the light faded, a sword appeared in Kirito's right hand. It has the same shape as the Expositor, but the black blade is engraved with the image of a white wolf dragon.
The sword that appears in SAo's final battle to defeat the Creator. The magic sword with a uniform mixture of white and black materialized once again.
Kirito, who had achieved the true union of man and dragon, turned to face the girl he was supposed to destroy.
The girl is in pain. I was thrown into a huge body that wasn't built for my size and I didn't even know what to do with it. The weapons to end it are within your hands.
What must be done, what must be done now. This is-.
Kirito kicked Makiri. Jump as high as you can and hit real faces. The next moment, the wolf sword in his right hand and the holy spear in his left hand both shone brightly.
"Maki!!!"
Facing the girl writhing in pain, Kirito used the dual-wielding sword technique that he was most familiar with and relied on most.
Starburst flow. A dual-wielding sword technique that attacks 16 times in a row.
Kirito danced a sword dance with the wolf sword and holy spear that carried the thoughts and wishes of his "familiar" and his beloved. Every time I swung, a small memory of Maki and her voice flashed through my mind.
\"Sister, it's okay.\" Your sister said the same, I will protect her. "
""That is not true. I am the strongest among you, so I will protect you and your seniors. "
"I want to protect my sister! This matter is so important, I said it twice!"
Maki is an innocent, kind, and truly strong girl. Just being near her makes me feel warm. Even in a world of death, I can smile calmly.
Kirito danced wildly towards what Maki had become.
He had been stabbed for the tenth time. Maki's words flashed through her mind again.
\"Kirito, please call me Maki.\" I'm used to being called that. "
The eleventh shot.
"My sister, especially, has always been scared and weak and can't be left alone. This has been going on for a long time, so I always thought I should do something as a family. I think they also did a lot of caring. Things. But she took good care of me, loved me, and said I was her proud sister."
The twelfth shot. Maki's life has been cut in half and her color has turned orange.
\"So I will protect my sister until the end.\"I will work hard to get my sister and seniors out of this death game! For this purpose, I will become stronger no matter what. Become strong and respectable and help your sisters and seniors escape from the death game! "
The thirteenth shot. When I woke up, the memory of me and Maki was on my arm, riding the wolf sword and the holy spear. Maki, who lost everything, regained her memory.
\"So Kirito, I hope you can protect your sister with me.\"I want you to fight until you and your seniors quit. "
Fourteen strikes.
Fifteen strikes.
Kirito shouted as he used all his strength to deliver the final blow. The wolf sword shining white and light blue and the upper left slash of the holy spear cut into Maki's head. Maki was greatly shocked, and her upper body trembled and she stepped back.
However, even so, Maki's life is not over yet. If I shoot two more times, the meter that has turned red still has plenty of room. I guess I was lucky that it turned into Sekhmet, but I couldn't finish it.
"Maki!!"
Kirito screamed again, turned around in the air, and threw the holy spear with his left arm. The holy spear drew a straight trajectory like a meteor and pierced Maki's forehead.
Even so, Maki did not collapse. Life never ends.
"Lilan!"
I once again put all my strength into it, let out a scream from the bottom of my belly, and raised the wolf sword in my right hand. The white wolf dragon pattern on the pitch black blade instantly moved and turned into light, flying out from the sword. The light instantly transformed into a huge wolf dragon, catching Kirito who fell in the air and pressing him on his back.
As soon as Wolf Dragon Ruiran loaded his master onto the boat, he jumped up and hovered in a position where he could overlook Maki. Immediately afterwards, Rilan's mouth was engulfed in flames, her whole body generated high heat, and her breath swirled and converged towards Rilan.
Just as the tips of the pure white wings turned reddish-orange and roared, Kirito whispered softly.
"I will end this Maki."
Lilan shook her head, and deep in her body, the condensed heat and flames were released in the form of light.
\"Ilahashalala\". Maki was swallowed by the goddess's flames.
The limbs were scorched and extinguished, and even the last vestiges of life were burned away. It was as if the body stained by hatred and revenge was being purified.
Finally, just when selfish atonement was achieved, Maki's body glowed white and then burst into a huge light. Kirito was swallowed inside, unable to move.
When the light faded, Kirito's position had changed. The dark blue auditorium has turned into a pure white space that stretches to the horizon.
Although he was suddenly transported to such a place, his consciousness was not blurred and he even remained alert.
His mind became clearer as he recognized the two figures standing before him. The characters’ true identities are Sachi and Maki. Maki was sleeping, and Sachi sat holding her gently. Like a sister holding her sister lovingly.
Kirito tried to run towards the sisters.
"S-Maki!!"
However, Kirito couldn't get close to the two of them. After making some progress, I hit an invisible wall and couldn't continue. It doesn't break even if it hits the wall, but it clearly shows Sachi and Maki on the other side. It is a glass wall that cannot be broken no matter what.
"Lucky, lucky!!"
Sachi looked at Kirito and called to him in a desperate voice. She is calm and kind, but also fragile and looks like she could collapse at any moment. This is exactly what I saw when SAo joined "Moonnight Black Cat".
"Luckily why, you"
Although I know I don’t need to ask now, I still can’t help but ask. Sachi answered in a bell-like voice.
\"I don't quite understand either. When I woke up, I had left Aincrad unknowingly. But my body had disappeared and I was still conscious. I was told that I was Yui-ichi's survivor. ..”
I heard a similar story. My name is Kayaba Akihiko. It is said that Kayaba, the father of Lilan and others and the culprit of everything, turned himself into a cyber life form by conducting ultra-high-power scanning of his own brain.
I've also heard that something similar can be done. If someone uses a Nerve Gear for more than a year, they can turn it into a cybernetic life form by extracting and salvaging the Nerve Gear's data.
This means that Sachi was pulled up by someone else and resurrected as a cyber-life.
\"So you are Sachi? What is the Sachi I know?\"
Sachi nodded deeply. He did not deny Kirito's words.
\"Yes, it's nice to see you again, Kirito. And I'm sorry, I've been tormenting you with internal affairs\"
Kirito suddenly took a breath. So, what happened to McGee? What happened to Maki who stopped him and Sachi who got involved?
"Xing, what's wrong with Maki? You"
Zuo Zhi lowered his head. Kirito purred slightly and opened his mouth.
\"Maki is using Nerve Gear to fight Kirito and the others. Now that her HP is gone, the Nerve Gear will burn out her brain and die. Me too. My HP disappears along with Makiri and after a while, you Will disappear with Maki."
Kirito fell to his knees in frustration. The ending they reach is that both Sachi and Maki die. I ended up with Maki and Yuki in a way that I shouldn't have done. Tears overflowed and his vision became distorted.
"I'm sorry. I let you die in the end. I hurt your dear sister, made her suffer, made her crazy. I couldn't save her. This is the way I can end it Yui." I can't make it up. me"
The hero who ended SAo. Kirito saved 6,000 people and made the impossible possible. This title flashed in my mind.
This is not the point.
Am I a hero?
Is it possible to make the impossible possible?
All I can do is let Sachi and Maki die.
I had just finished a sin that I had to atone for in the worst possible way.
\"I'm not a hero, I'm not a winner who defeated SAo. I'm a loser who made you die, made your sister unhappy, and finally died in the same way. I made you, you guys, unhappy. All I can do is"
Just as I was talking about the emotions overflowing from my heart, my body was suddenly held in front of me. When he opened his eyes in surprise, the wall separating Kirito and Sachi disappeared and his face was buried in Sachi's shoulder. Sachi put Maki on his lap and hugged Kirito.
\"That's not true. In fact, I am the one who makes Kirito unhappy and suffers. I have been observing Kirito for a long time. Kirito has been in SAo for a while. About\"
"Are you looking at me?"
"Yeah. Sneaking out of the shadows. I thought you might notice me, but I guess you didn't."
In "SAo", my life is not threatened, so I don't need to pay too much attention to the shadows. I never thought Lucky would be there.
\"But there are many times when I can't stand it anymore. When I realize what Kirito was thinking when we died, Kirito suffered because of us.\"When I found out\"
His face pressed closer to Sachi's shoulder. Zuozhi's arms were full of strength. Her voice was shaking too.
\"That's what I hate the most. Kirito, who survived the death game, continues to suffer for us, for me. Kirito, even though he was helpless, tried to make amends with us. Being tied up was painful. Maki was also tied up It was really painful to get up.”
"lucky me"
Zuozhi still hugged me and shook his head.
\"I am the one who must make amends. Although I should have died and everything was over, I tied up Kirito and Maki, made them unable to move, and made them suffer. So I decided to bide my time.\" When I can appear in front of you. When Maki starts to move, I can leave.
It's very late, isn't it? I could have met you earlier, I could have stopped you, but because I didn't have the courage, Kirito, Maki, and all of Kirito's friends suffered because"
Kirito shook his head in denial. No, no, that's not the case. You are not bad. You are not bad.
"Fortunately, you are not bad, the bad thing is"
\"Hey, Kirito.\"
Kirito's words were interrupted by Sachi, and he turned around. Sachi gently let go of Kirito's body and faced Kirito face to face. Her cheeks seemed a little red.
"It's me, I like you."
"You tried to fight for me. You tried to help me. You tried to protect me... You promised to protect me until the end. And he gave it to me... and he really did... ...It really makes me feel at ease.”
That's it. At that time, I seriously thought about protecting Sachi. I'm sure I can actually pull this off.
As the person he wanted to protect, Sachi continued.
"When I see you like this, when I'm with you who makes me feel at ease, when I'm around you, I start to like you unconsciously. It's not like that." We have known each other for a long time. But I’m starting to feel like I like you but I don’t have the guts to say it.”
I've always wanted to hear Sachi's true feelings. The fact that he loves me. Later I discovered that it was the same thing as what was in Kirito's chest. At that time, I developed feelings for Zuozhi, and I also developed feelings for him.
She didn't realize at the time that if she let Sachi live, she might one day confess her feelings to Sachi.
"That's why I don't want you, the one I truly love, to be tied to my dead self. I don't want Maki to suffer, I don't want you to suffer, and I don't want this to be it. That's right."
Kirito opened his eyes. My eyelids moved and tears fell. If you look closely, you can see Sachi's eyes filled with tears.
In her opinion, Kirito seems to be suffering because of the "Moonlit Black Cat Gang". Seeing this scene, she was also heartbroken.
Kirito was almost shocked when he discovered the fact that he had unknowingly tortured Sachi.
"lucky me"
Then, Sachi raised his head. His expression showed no sadness.
\"Kirito, tell me. What does Kirito think of me?\"
It was a sudden question, but I immediately had an answer ready. I want to protect Xing, I want to help Xing
"I love you. Maybe it's better to say I love you. So I want to protect you. I want to protect you and be with you."
When I honestly told him what I was thinking, Sachi's expression turned to one of utter surprise. However, as time passed, a bright smile appeared on his face. Big tears rolled down.
\"I'm so happy. Thank you, Kirito, even though I have become like this, you still like me and love me\"
——The person who should thank me is myself. Kirito was about to say this, but Sachi stopped him again.
\"But, Kirito. You don't have to direct these feelings towards me anymore. You have someone to love and love, not me. I really need to protect you, I need you to support me.\""It's a must. Isn’t that what you’re doing? You’ve decided to fight for that man now and protect him?”
A picture of a girl came to my mind. A girl who rarely forgets things. A woman who believed in herself even when she was deeply hurt. The one who gave me such love. That's why Kirito whispered the name of the person he wanted to protect and support.
\"Shino\"
Thatch nodded with a smile on his face.
\"Mr. Sinon, you are a wonderful person. I think you love Kirito more than me. I think you really love Kirito. So, Kirito, please\"
Sachi slowly fell down, resting his weight on Kirito. Kirito gently held his body in his arms. Because Maki was sitting on my lap, it felt heavier and warmer.
\"Please help me, Miss Shino, and protect me. Please protect me until the end, stay with me and love me as much as you think of me. Make it up to us. Please stop doing something and stay with Shino— —I, Maki, and everyone at Tsukiye Black Cat have always thought this way."
This was a decision I started thinking about shortly after meeting Shino for the first time. Unknowingly, Kirito realizes that all this has turned into determination, vows, and missions, which are atonements for Sachi who he once promised to protect but could not protect or express his love for.
And Zuozhi himself didn't want such a thing. What Sachi wants is to give up the sense of atonement and atonement for himself and the "Moonlit Black Cat", to be with Shino with pure emotion, to fight to protect her, and to love her with all his heart, which is one thing.
I hope you do what you have been doing so far to the best of your ability and continue until the end.
This is Sazhi's wish. This was indeed Sachi's last wish.
Kirito hugged her body while telling the answer to his inner wish.
\"I understand. Please let me fulfill your wish\"
I felt Sachi nodded on my chest. Shortly thereafter, my vision began to turn white. The end of Sachi and Maki has come.
"In order not to forget me like this, in order to stop my baby sister, in order to love me."
Even though I buried my face in Sachi's hair, my vision was still dyed white.
Just as everything was about to turn white, I heard something.
Thank you Kirito, I love you too. The SAo maintenance work started after the cessation of Magiriri has not been completed even one day later. If the singularity surfaces and the impact on the surrounding areas is repaired, the repair work will be completed quickly, but with the hijacking of the operating system, maintenance seems to take a long time.
During this maintenance, the lives of Mary and Tier were at stake. It is said that Yui and Jupiter's analysis has completely separated them from the singularity and will not participate in the transformation of the singularity, but I am still a little worried. To make matters worse, even those who live in the virtual world, such as Yui, Lilan, Strea, and Jupiter, have been kicked out of SAo.
However, this concern turned out to be unfounded. When I logged in immediately after the maintenance, I recognized Premier and Dia at Kirito's house. They looked refreshed and told me all their problems were solved.
Since the start of the SAo closed beta, incidents surrounding Mary and Tier, as well as disasters in the Cardinal system, have continued to occur. It ends with the final battle against the Singularity. He could finally spend time with Mary and Tia in a carefree world.
I'm so happy that things I took for granted before are finally becoming normal. However, even after knowing this fact, Kirito's mood did not lighten up. Although all the incidents were finally cleared up, Kirito had an uneasy feeling when he logged in again today.
The location is the bedroom on the second floor of the wooden house. The bed I sleep in. Come to think of it, this is what I've been using since SAo. It was already after eight o'clock in the evening, and the sun had already set.
Night had fallen in the room, which was not equipped with motion sensors or other lights. Kirito didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, because this kind of thing happened often, so he got up and walked towards the exit. When I opened the door I saw a light under the stairs. The lights on the first floor seemed to be on. I can catch some signs of people. It seems that there are already several people using the first floor.
As I walked down the stairs, trying not to make too much noise, I saw a lot of players in the living room. The first one is Shino. The other person is Alice, who unfortunately failed to participate in the final battle a few days ago. The girls were seated in the living room at a table and chairs provided.
When she noticed Kirito's presence, she almost immediately turned her gaze to him.
\"Kirito-san, good evening.\"
Alice was the first to say so. Kirito said the same greeting, walked towards the living room, and finally shouted to Alice.
\"Alice\"
"I've been waiting for"
"It would be nice if you sat down." She used to say that when she was young, but Alice doesn't say that anymore. This is my home, so I have the freedom to sit or stand. The chair next to Shino was empty. Kirito called to Shino and sat down.
\"Alice, I'm free today.\"
"Ah, by the way, I'm not free that day, so I can't help you."
"That's not true. We did it ourselves."
"It seems like you're having a hard time."
Hearing what Alice said, Kirito lowered his head. I've told Alice about the final battle at that location.
Premiere and Tyr were able to separate from the singularity, and then Shinaki appeared, Hannibal who was supposed to be defeated was still alive, and Sachi was still alive - Sachi and Makiri died together. .
However, the person who said this was Yui, and she didn't know everything at that time. Especially the last wish that Sachi told me at that time, no one knows about it to this day. Even Shino did.
Sinon said to Alice in front of Kirito.
"Professor Alice Hannibal is still alive."
"Ah. I was also surprised. I thought I had killed him at the time, but I didn't realize that he had been prepared from the beginning. Moreover, his approach was completely into trouble." In today's society, The police, the media, that's how I got here, I was killed. "
Alice scratched her head in frustration. Her dark hair was as shiny as ever, but she didn't hesitate to ruin that shine. That's probably because it's VR. In fact, she never exhibited such behavior.
"So, I don't know that Genesis and Magiri were working under Hannibal's instructions from the beginning. Maybe, but he must have heard about us and the world through Genesis and Magiri situation."
"He also created a digital medicine."
"There's no doubt that guy can even make something like that, but maybe that's a given. He's also hijacked the system of this game, he's hacking the police and the media in this Japanese society. Digital drugs. I guess it was just a childish thing to develop.”
Only Hannibal and his men Mahabal succeeded in cracking the police, media and public broadcasting. There are currently no confirmed cases of other successful cyberterrorists. This is why Hannibal and Mahabal are such unique disasters.
From Hannibal's perspective, creating the digital drugs used by Genesis and Magiri was easy.
"So, Hannibal turned Magiri into a monster and attacked you. However, what stopped Magiri was"
Kirito stopped Alice from speaking.
\"It's Xing. Xing is the person who died in SAo a long time ago.\"
Kirito still can't believe what happened. Sachi, who was supposed to die, only survived in the virtual world and came to stop the real thing. Sometimes I still wonder if what happened was just a dream I had.
However, statements from friends who claim to have met Sachi, as well as her own statements, deny this. Alice put her finger to her chin as she spoke.
\"It's possible, but as I said before. Someone retrieved the data from Yuki's Nerve Gear, rescued her, and resurrected her. This definitely requires human intervention, so there is no such thing.\" This is a natural phenomenon. We're supposed to think someone brought Sachi back to life. "
"Who is that? It can't be Hannibal, right? After all, Hannibal controls Makiri and lets him do whatever he wants. If Hannibal resurrects Sachi, then Hannibal can force Makiri to stop Sachi. Can't he? ?"is that so? "
Shino's doubts were reasonable. If Hannibal resurrected Thatch, then ultimately Hannibal himself did something that caused his plan to fail. Fortunately, he was resurrected and prevented from actually carrying out his plan.
Alice answered the question.
"I thought about it a lot, but from what I heard from the children, I learned that Hannibal who was killed in ALo was actually a stand-in for Sugo-senpai who was transformed into a 'web animation'.' Listen It was said that Sachi picked up the 'Anima Box Signal'. Hannibal was the one who resurrected Sachi, and he obviously used the 'Anima Box' technology to create the 'Anima'."
Kirito was as confused as Sinon. "Evolti Anima", "Evolti Anima". Words came out of Alice's mouth that I had never heard before. Kirito asked Alice what she meant.
\"Uh, Alice. What is animalization or evolutionary anima?\"
Alice made a "oh" and was taken aback. He seemed to realize that he had confused me. Alice answered bitterly.
"Are Lan, Jiyi a network life body?"
Elis nodded for Shi Nai's inquiry.
"Yes, all the children I have trained are artificial intelligence. Generally speaking, it is called AI, but I don't think it should be called AI. So I think of using the word" network life '. "Table" "came" "Table" "Table" came from Refers to them. Well, this is still a plan that has not yet been confirmed. "
Indeed, the intelligence of Jiyi and Lan has surpassed the average AI, which can be said to have reached the magic point of technology. For these girls, the appropriate classification is not artificial intelligence, but a new term called a network life body. Alice may have considered this, but whether the word "online life" will spread to the public and be established as if it is doubtful.
Some things in Alice's story have obviously attracted my attention.
\ "Alice, have you received the signal of the heart of the lucky heart? \"
\ "That's it. You told me, but fortunately sent me a heart -capable box signal. Those girls looked surprised, but I guess they did not hear. \"
That story has not been talked about. However, I really felt strangely surprised by Joyi at the time. Fortunately, the appearance itself was surprising, but I felt like I had encountered even more surprising things.
\ "Fortunately why give me a signal of Anima box? \"
The face of the Anima Box Masters became a little dignified.
"Maybe, but it is necessary to let the resurrection. It is good to retrieve the data from the Nerve Gear, but it cannot run directly. This is like a game machine to play game software -just game software. It is meaningless to have a meaningless meaning. .
Therefore, Hannibal adapted it with Animabox technology he stolen from me. So fortunately, I got a device called "Anima Box" and resurrected as a network life. Isn't that what you mean? "
"Fortunately, Lan, they are resurrected"
Shi Nai showed an incredible expression on her face. Probably myself. However, Alice didn't seem to lie. Alice may be true. All this should have been assumed, but it is credible.
"Maybe, but for Hannibal, even fortunately is at the stage of experiments and plans. It can be said that the failure of what Mickey does is in itself. At the same time, let him do it. "Do it. "
"Maki and Sacci are for Hannibal"
When I thought of this, I felt angry. My fist is almost impossible to exert enough power. Macci is obsessed with retribution and lives only for this purpose. However, I can see it again, and fortunately can be resurrected. The sister died to protect the world.
The whole tragedy is a exercise planned by Hannibal.
"Why do you do this Hannibal?"
Hearing Kirito's whisper, Alice spread out his palm. I agree.
"I don't understand. I thought they were going to attack Japanese society, but they exposed the existence and crimes of anti -social organizations hidden in important institutions and overthrowing the country and the existence of hidden terrorists, and forced them to do this." He improved the level of society's confidentiality and defense, and pushed it in a positive direction. This alone is enough, but he indulge in Vashab Casars, Jenisi and Mathery RI. What he did was "different, inconsistent. What are these exercises and experiments? I really don't understand Hannibal's behavior."
As Alice said, I couldn't understand that Hannibal's behavior had any reason or purpose. Everywhere SAO, ALO, and "SAO" goes, they all send suspected assassin or agents. However, he has never made it clear why he should do this, or what the final result of his plan is.
At least we know that Hannibal's plan is only halfway, so he is likely to have a relationship with us in the future. Looking at Hannibal's performance in ALO, we believe that Hannibal is dead, he will not be attacked anymore, and the threat has been eliminated.
In fact, he may continue to be implicated with Hannibal or involved in Hannibal. They have not ended the battle with Hannibal. We need to be alert to how Hannibal will attack in the future. The battle against intangible threats has begun.
Just as Kirito thought alone, Alice shouted to him again.
\ "However, worrying too much will be tired. In the future, I will pay more attention to Hannibal's actions of Kirito. Mickey, but he is dead after all. \"
After hearing Alice's question, Kirito lowered his head, and Alice seemed to change his mind. After the battle, it was reported that a girl was found to die, and her brain was burned by Nerve Gear. Although she did not report her name, it was reported that she was playing a game installed on Nerve Gear and died after her brain was burned by Nerve Gear.
It must be true, and now I still clearly remember the pain in my heart when I saw the news. However, Kirito later discovered that the news was a bit strange.
Nerve Gear can only kill people who end the game in SAO. It turns out that even if you use other software to end the game, the same thing will not happen. SAO no longer exists. Even if it exists, Nerve Gear cannot burn the user's brain with electromagnetic pulses.
\ "Why does the brain be burned out by Nerve Gear? Nerve Gear can only attack electromagnetic pulses in SAO? \"
Alice answered this question. A sad look appeared on his face.
\ "Is \" SAO \ ". \" Sao \ "is composed of the same core system and basic program as SAO. Therefore, if you want to play \" Sao \ "Gear, Nerve Gear here in SAO , I mistakenly thought that the game had ended and began to use electromagnetic pulse attacks. This must be the blind spot of SAO's producer. In any case, Nerve Gear was completely controlled by Gear. The government. It was recovered. I never thought that someone would use it. Nerve Gear play SAO. "
In fact, NERVGEAR, a demon machine made by Argus, is currently being recycled by the government. Later, I learned that the statement about them was a false cover story, and they were actually stored in the government -controlled facilities. The development team and management of \ "SAO \", including \ "seven \", may never have thought that \ "Sao \" will be like this. It is unreasonable to say that we should make assumptions.
Moreover, miraculously, before that, Matrich had never ended the game with "SAO" in the absence of Nerve Gear. This can be seen from her horrible combat effectiveness.
\ "So, Kirito. I guess you and fortunately. \"
Kirito raised his head in surprise. Alice looked at me with sharp eyes. As if he wanted to ask me some important things, or remind me what I needed to do.
\ "Kirito, what is that? \"
Not only that, Shi Nai also called me.
That's it. At that time, I had a dialogue with the disappearance -he heard his wish. Although I have not told my friends and even Shi Nai until now, this moment has finally arrived.
\ "Yes. I can talk to Xing's last conversation. \"
"Can you tell us? In this case, I hope you can tell me your story. I heard that you have suffered a lot because of this. Even the previous psychiatrist, I hope you can tell me. "Tell me your story. I can't miss it. "
Kirito talked with Alice, a former psychiatrist, Shino's private doctor. I learned everything from Xing and his wish. Sure enough, he did not say that Zuo Zhi's feelings for him, but he told him that he could tell him.
After the story, Alice sighed deeply, and Shi Nai kept blinking.
"I understand that she doesn't want you to suffer anymore, right?"
"Yes, fortunately told me. She hopes that I will no longer worry about [Moon Night Black Cat] and live my own life. So I will love the one I love, we can be together." She asked me to stay and take care of she. After speaking, she disappeared. "
This is the wishes of Zuo Zhi. I hope you can give you the person you love you now, and I hope you will continue to do so. I can't forget his voice and face at the time. do not forget.
\ "It turns out. I thought you might use one or two fighting, but it turned out that this is unnecessary. So, what do you plan to do? Fortunately, tell me and let me do it. \"
Alice has prepared the answer to the question, and she also told Zuo Zhi. Kirito said again, trying to recall the scene at the time.
"I think I finally overcome it. What I want to do is not to worry about the black cat, nor the regrets, but to live with the people who live with me now." Guarding that person with a lifetime. That person is poetry. \"
Shi Nai's eyes opened slightly. He seemed surprised to hear the news again. Kirito stretched out his hand and held her in her arms.
"I will take fortunately as one of my precious memories. Among the people I love, I can say that the person I love is Zhi Nai, Poetry. I don't want to repeat things like luck. This is why I. ..... I will always protect Shi Nai and get older with her. No matter how difficult it is, I will support and protect Poetry. I will accompany you until the end. "
Kirito said so deeply in his heart. What I need to do, what I need to do for luck, and my wish. He announced all of this to Alice and Shi Nai, and people who should protect them all. As soon as the words fell, they were silent, but then Alice spoke.
"Do you know what it means?"
"Huh? Basically, what you mean is"
Kirito was stunned. How would you summarize what you said? Alice just answered and suddenly laughed.
\ "Kirito will always support and love poetry. Isn't this what you have always done? Isn't this what you tell us to do? \"
Hearing this news, Kirito "ah". It is a good thing to announce loudly, but there is nothing special or different in content, but we have continued to do what we have been doing so far. This is what I have been doing, so there is no need to declare loudly. I now realize this, a embarrassing feeling came from my chest.
Alice seemed to be aware of this and laughed. However, the laughter was very mild, without laughing or fun. After putting it away, Alice turned his face calmly to me.
\"也就是说，你要做的就是继续做你一直在做的事情。就像你一直做的那样，继续和诗乃，继续做恋人。即使是和幸。你让我这么做的，所以你I didn't plan to exit from the beginning, right? "
\ "Yes. I plan to continue forever. With Poetry, protect Poetry, and become a family. Even if fortunately, I do n’t tell me, I plan to do so.
It can be said with certainty that fortunately it is a coincidence. Even if he said different words at the time, Kirito chose to continue what he decided to do. At that time, it seemed as if Zuo Zhi gave me a thrust.
After hearing Kirito's declaration again, Alice nodded deeply and turned to face Kirito. There was a gentle smile on his face.
\ "" Well. If the emergence does not mean that you want to protect Poetry Nai or give up with Shi Nai, it doesn't matter. If that's that way, I may have a deep curse on myself. . \ "Stay the poem in your hands, and blame you to abandon Poetry. \"
"Curse!?"
Alice, who was calm, said these words, surprised me. Shi Nai was also surprised, but Erris laughed again and answered.
"What, kidding? In any case, I am glad to know your determination.
Poetry. How do you think Kirito? "
Kirito turned his head to face Shi Nai who was asking questions. Her face also showed a firm expression.
\ "I am so. I want to be with Kirito and Kirito forever. As long as we are with Kirito, we can overcome any difficulties. No matter how terrible things happen, as long as we can face it. Kirito together. Kirito is the one I can entrust everything. \ "
Shi Nai paused and said again.
\ "So I want to become stronger than now. I want to be stronger, so that I can protect me and support my Kirito, so that we can face terrible things together. I want to be the side People. \ "Kirito. "
I am not a person who is always protected, and I am also a protector of Kirito -Shi Nai \/Shi Nai has indeed declared so much. I will not give things to Kirito. I will not be protected by Kirito. I will fight with him, fight him, and support him. Kirito's heart was recognized, and his heart was warm. This is the comfort that Shi Nai \/Shi Nai gave me.
It is very important and important to protect me with such peace of mind.
I can't help protecting a person who cares about me so much. Even without luck -when Kirito realized his responsibility again, Alice laughed softly.
\ "Poetry, you met a very good person. All this happened by accident, but I am really happy to let Shi Nai know Kirito. \"
Alice turned to Kirito in a natural way.
\ "Kirito, please continue to take care of Shi Nai. You will support Shi Nai." If you continue to support me and help me, I will fully support and help. I will fully support you. "
Kirito nodded deeply and answered.
\ "Yes, please give it to me. Teacher Alice. \"
When I unconsciously called out her real name, Alice \/Airi said with a smile:
"OK!"
He said, and suddenly laughed. Kirito and Shi Nai laughed together, trying to be attracted by laughter.
After the room was full of laughter, the front door was suddenly opened. When the crowd turned, he was a little surprised that the two girls appeared there. This is Mary and Tier.
"Mary, Tia"
"Oh, my children, what's wrong?"
Alice \/Alice said behind Tong's body that the two quickly walked towards Tongren, and the premiere began.
\ "Kirito, let's go to a picnic. \"
"teeth!?"
Mary's mouth seemed to become a surprise box. He suddenly said this without saying hello. When the three of us were surprised, Mary continued.
\ "Kirito, let's go to a picnic. \"
"No, no, wait, why did you suddenly start talking about picnic?"
"I can go to picnic with everyone, but Tia can't. Let's go to picnic together."
Indeed, I have never picked up with Til. Mary enjoys the last picnic very much, and she may want to tell Tia how interesting it is. But it is eight o'clock now, and it is less than time for picnics.
Shi Nai will tell her first.
"Mary, you know, picnic is our matter at noon. Now it's night, we can't go to picnic anymore."
"No, we can. This is a picnic in the sky. Let's picnic under the starry sky, not in the blue sky. The weather is the perfect place now."
Starry and picnic -seeing such words, Kirito almost fainted. While looking at the starry sky and picnic, of course, it is better. The reason why I had this idea may be because I talked about the starry sky at the premiere.
What I taught you at that time returned to my mind in a strange form.
"So, I thought it was a star -ray picnic. But Mary, this is actually camping."
After Alice said this, both Mary and Tia's eyes were on. Although they have obvious differences in height and physique, the fact that they are still studying various things have not changed. This is the factor of becoming Mary and Tier twins.
Kirito talked with the two impatiently.
"It is impossible for us to start camping so soon. Even at the beginning, everyone has not gathered, and there are many people who have missed it?"
The answer was Tia.
\ "No need, everyone has arrived at the scene. The rest is Kirito, Shi Nai, Alice. \"
"What did you say!?"
The continuous bombing of Mary and Tier continued to surprise me. When I checked the authenticity of my friend list to confirm this sentence, I found that all my friends did log in, and they all gathered at the northernmost tip of the Gemston Peak Lake. But I haven't heard of similar things yet.
\ "Kirito and Poetry must be frustrated, so I want to surprise them, so I keep silent. \"
"Rui Ran and they told me that this kind of thing is called surprise."
Kirito was surprised by Mary and Tia. Indeed, he showed signs of frustration with friends, and they sometimes expressed concerns. They must have thought of me and planned this starry field -should I call it camping? The two of them told us this.
"Is this like this? Do everyone do this?"
\ "Yeah. Everyone is waiting for Kirito, Shi Nai, Alice. So please come on, let's camp together. \"
When Tia asked her to hurry up, Alice stood up from the chair. His gaze was cast towards the door of the room.
\ "Kirito Jun, you are all good friends around you. Can we let such a person wait for a long time? \"
"Yes. I don't want you to wait for a long time."
"Then let's go quickly."
Shi Nai followed Alice and stood up and stretched out his hand.
\ "In this case, we can only go. Let's go camping together, Kirito. \"
Kirito stared at Shi Nai's palm. What I want to do is not to regret the encounter of "Moon Night Black Cat", but to spend time with my current friends to protect them, so that the things of the year are no longer Lilan. Poems are the most important, but everyone's life is equally important and must be protected.
Everyone is a life that connects us together. I have no way, I can only accept the invitation of such friends.
Kirito stood up from the chair and held Shi Nai's hand.
"Okay, let's see everyone!"
I said strongly. When everything passes, when everything can be forgiven, the first big event is about to begin.
\ "The Beast Trainer Kirito \" I came in front of an unmanned building and walked in. The building is greater than other buildings around, which looks impressive. Its scale shows the dignity and strength of the company in the headquarters building.
There were two students here. This is a man and a woman. Should we add another woman? No, she has nothing to do with this matter. It's just that I have close friendship with them, but this does not mean that I have a direct relationship with them.
Because they are students, they have magical ability and skills that make you doubt whether they are students or younger children than you. During his tenure, a woman continued to create amazing things, and eventually became a powerful assistant for men. As soon as I left my post to work in this company, I developed the small company that was not large to such a large scale.
This building was built by those men and women. However, there is no electricity or tap water there. So no matter where you look, it is dark. If there is no hand -held light, it is dangerous even under your feet. This once prosperous company now has only one ruin.
Of course, he created a machine that no one had seen and could create before. After all, he created and sent a demon machine to the world, which captured the lives of many people and deprived them of the most important things for them. This company -\ "Agus \" should have disappeared.
I continued to pass through Argus's ruins and finally climbed up the stairs. After climbing a distance, I came to a door. It is painted with "Argus" logo. It has weathered and began to lose its shape, but it has not reached an unspeakable level. I remember it was an automatic door before, but there was no electricity, of course, it was not possible. It is half -opened, so when I put my hand in and moved it, it is easy to slide.
There is a wolf in the room. All tables, chairs, computers, and other equipment that should be arranged were removed, which made this place empty. The air conditioner was loosened, and the wires hanged down from the ceiling. It is difficult to believe that this is an enterprise that once claimed to move the society. Such ruins are everywhere.
However, behind the quite spacious room, something was not removed. When I approached, I realized that this was a long device and looked like a super computer. The power socket has been inserted, and the entire place is covered with dust.
The server that once managed the Demon game data created after the teaching of the two people actually changed the appearance of this society. This is why I visit this ruins.
The server containing the demon game remains silent. When they connected the equipment to the header and started, the ruins returned to their vitality. It didn't take long for the startup sound everywhere, and the energy began to flow into the server again. Now I am ready to start.
After the inspection, I started the laptop carried by me and connected the cable extended from the laptop to the server. The devil's game finally woke up again. I shouldn't wake up, but I have no choice but to do it.
What should I do if I can't do what my students can do as the person who teaches them?
"Mao Field Alice Youna Yona"
Yoshimura Yoshimura shouted his former student, culprit and beloved name, and started the server.
\ "Kirito, how do you think? Have you already thought about the next action? \"
"Well now"
Tonggu and Tonggu Tongren are all confused. There is a chessboard in front of you. Kirito is a man who moves Black, but he has been forced into despair.
At first it could perform well, but over time, it invaded the white chess pieces. The Black Fang soldiers also decreased significantly, and Wang was barely protected, obviously at a disadvantage.
If it is an ordinary game, I may immediately come up with a strategy, formulate a strategy, and truly launch an attack or counterattack, but I am not good at games such as chess and black and white chess. No matter what you do, you will be forced to the corner.
This is why I tend to play these checkerboard games as much as possible, but the other party does not always understand. When this happens, you always lose.
how about this? "
I muttered while moving the soldiers of the soldiers. Shortly after the round, a beautiful white hand reached on the chessboard and grabbed a White. Queen queen. The queen acted in accordance with the rules, and in the end, even the black king was attacked all at once, and she defeated him one by one.
\ "The King of Death \"
The opponent ended in a word, and a window with "You lost" appeared. I thought it was smooth, but it seemed that I could easily lose. Kirito felt weak and fell gently on the table.
"Damn, I lost again."
"Your board game is too bad, although it is basically undefeated in the VRMMO battle."
When I looked up at her obvious mocking voice, I saw a girl with long golden hair and scarlet eyes. This is the opponent of Mo Baizi in the current chess.
"Lilan, you know this, and want to challenge me to play chessboard games."
The girl named Rilan snorted, "Huh."
"Since your chessboard game is so bad, I want to give you some training."
"No, this logic is strange."
When I said that, I heard the people on the left laughed. When I turned around, I saw the same girl. He has a well -proportioned face and a black brown half -long hair. His remarkable features include a white ribbon tied to his face and wearing glasses.
