It's been a week since they arrived in Torbana, and there is still no news from the outside world, which has led to more and more people taking up arms and walking out of the original town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, as the closest town to the second layer of the maze area, more and more players are coming here, after all, if you want to get out of this game, you can only clear this game according to Akihiko Kayaba.

As early as the first day when he came here, Katsuragi tried his best to contact all the NPCs in the town, hoping to get some quests, but the results were not ideal, Katsuragi spent a lot of time to find a few quests, and the rewards were not very good.

Katsura Mu estimated that it should have been the first to sweep the tasks that led to such a consequence, but it had come to this point, and he was helpless, the rules of this world were originally like this.

After Guimu saw that the number of players in the town gradually increased, he no longer restricted Nanamiya and Celica, but asked them to never leave the reserve, and if they wanted to go out, they would be with him.

After Nanamiya and Sirika walked around the town for a while, they didn't play much, after all, they both understood their situation, and began to follow Katsuragi in the practice area or maze to kill monsters and upgrade.

Although they destroy monsters in the maze area every day, and by the way, they find the boss room that leads to the second floor, but since they have been promoted to level ten, Katsura has sighed at the amount of experience required for their upgrades, so even if they are killing monsters every day, they have not upgraded a few levels.

Days like this went by, and Katsuragi thought it would last until he found the room that led to the second floor, and then eliminated the boss, until he met someone who was both unexpected and expected.

On the eighth day in Torbana, Katsuragi finished a day of leveling and asked Nanamiya and Sirika to go back to rest first, and then bring their equipment to the weapon shop, and when they repaired it, they saw a familiar figure and shouted with some uncertainty: "And people!?"

"Katsuragi, why are you here?" Kiriya Kazuto shouted in surprise when he heard the name Kazuto, turned his head and saw that it was Katsuragi.

"Don't be so loud, and call me Rokuki!" Looking at Kiritani Kazuto with his mouth wide open, attracting the attention of many passers-by, Katsuragi pulled him to the corner next to him and said.

"Hmm!Rokgi, my ID in the game is Kirito. Kirito nodded, followed Katsuragi to the side, understood that he was unwilling to reveal the actual information, and also reported the name of the game to Katsuragi.

"You're really playing this game. Katsuragi looked at Kirito, who was dressed as a swordsman, and said with some emotion: "I asked Xiaozhi before entering the game if you had played!"

"But Katsuragi, why are you here, it is said that this ten thousand copies of the game is rare, how did you get it?" Kirito ignored Katsuragi's exclamation, and instead asked him with a frown.

If it were a normal time, the two of them would be happy to meet, but now that the game has become a cage where death can occur at any moment, it is not so pleasant to meet familiar friends.

"Because of my father, I wanted to see if this game could help him, so I asked someone to find me two copies. Katsuragi didn't hide it, after all, they were neighbors from childhood to adulthood, and they knew each other very well.

"Uncle Katsuraichi?" Kirito muttered, and then noticed the strange thing in Katsuragi's words, looked at Katsuragi worriedly and asked, "Two copies!?Did Rokuka come in with you?"

"No, Sister Liuhua is still outside. Katsuragi shook his head and said, "It's one of my classmates, SAO is a gift from me, I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

After Kirito heard it, he nodded, and the atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, and he didn't know what to say, meeting in this kind of place can be said to be unfortunate or lucky.

Unfortunately, they all entered this death game, but fortunately, although they came to the game, they are still alive and well, and they have met each other, and with a trusted partner, the probability of escaping has increased a bit.

"When did you come here!?" Katsuragi asked first as he looked at Kirito, who hadn't spoken for a long time, knowing what kind of character he was.

"It's been a while since I've been in a closed beta, so I know a safer route. Kirito explained to Katsuragi that he didn't hide that he was the one who sealed the beta.

"Wow!" Katsuragi was a little surprised to hear that Kirito was actually a closed beta player, but thinking of Kirito's obsession with the game, it was not so strange that he was a closed beta player, but he said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have missed so many resources." ”

Kirito looked at Katsuragi and didn't speak, inexplicably remembering Klein who was left behind by himself in the Initial Town, if Katsuragi was there at the time, he should be able to bring a few of them, Kirito thought to himself.

Although he knew that Katsuragi was not a beta tester, Kirito, who had played fighting games with Katsuragi, knew that Katsuragi was definitely a master of the game, and he was definitely not far behind playing Sword Art Online, at least from Katsuragi's current almost complete set of equipment.

Kirito didn't know that the Klein he met was Ryotaro Tsukui, whom Katsuragi knew, so he didn't tell Katsuragi about it, after all, if Klein didn't survive, he felt that he himself was also very responsible for his death.

"Let's add a friend first, where do you live, do you want to team up and go to the maze area to find the leader's room tomorrow?" Katsuragi scratched the menu and sent a friend invitation to Kirito, and then asked.

"Hmm!" Kirito accepted the friend request, then nodded in agreement and said, "I've been staying in the westernmost inn, and I've been completing a mission lately, so I rarely go to the labyrinth area and here. ”

Hearing Kirito's words, Katsuragi knew why they had been here for so long and hadn't met until today, looked at Kirito and said, "I happen to be staying in the easternmost hotel, and I've been leveling up in the maze area, no wonder I met you for so long." ”

"By the way, I remember that the inn on the west side looks so shabby!!" Katsuragi suddenly remembered where he had been when he was looking for a mission, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"I should have asked you!" Kirito said through gritted teeth as he looked at Katsuragi, "I remember that the inn in the east is the most expensive, and you actually waste the important Ke'er in that kind of place." ”

"Ahh And Koll has a high drop rate."

"......" Kirito glanced at Katsuragi and didn't speak quietly, not knowing if he was hit by Katsuragi and the two girls teaming up, or if he was disappointed by his own drop rate.

"Alright then, so be it. I'll send you a message tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, goodbye!" Katsuragi looked at the time, feeling that it was not too early, and greeted Kirito, intending to repair his weapon and prepare to go back.

"Hmm!" Kirito agreed, his tense heart seemed to be finally relaxed, and loneliness and guilt had been haunting him for a few days, and it wasn't until he met Katsuragi today that he finally got better.

After repairing their weapons in the weapons shop and resupplying them, the two of them went back to their hotels, and when they left, Katsuragi seemed to be able to feel the gritted teeth of Kirito behind him.
