"Well, by the way, what else are you asking? Why nobody? Actually, it's not nobody, it's just that everyone is hiding in the hotel room, and they don't come out during the day, because they might run into the army's tax collectors during the day. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Taxing, I feel like a lord of a country・・・・・・・ what the hell is going on?" Lulutia's mouth lifted slightly, and a smile of interest appeared.

"It's a rogue with a card. Be careful, those guys won't be polite to outsiders. Oh, there's a fruit that's about to fall...... That's all for now. The man closed his mouth and began to stare into the air with serious eyes.

"Army・・・・・・ "Troops" left the place and walked slowly down the sparsely populated wide road, but Clyde thought about what the man called the 'Tax Collector'.

"It feels like a big problem~" Lulutia said with a smile.

"I don't think it's a problem, the combat power of the [Army] can be said to be the weakest in the Raiders Guild, even Kirito can single-handedly take on most of their guilds, and the strength is really weak. Thinking of the previous Lieutenant Colonel Kobaz, Clyde couldn't help but laugh.

That guy really doesn't deserve the title of [Lieutenant Colonel], and he still looks like he is unrepentant after being lectured by him.

"The hearts of ・・・・・・ people in this world are basically controlled by Akihiko Kayaba, and the original strategy group is actually just a few people, able to develop and grow, and even today's 'behemoths' are all promoted by him. Clyde looked up at the false sky above.

"The people in the strategy team are all supporting roles in his script, Kirito ・・・・・・・ no, maybe add me now, it's the protagonist of the story in his imagination, and he's the final boss in that story. ”

"That is・・・・・・" Lulutia clearly guessed who Clyde was talking about.

"Now only me and Kirito know the identity of that person, although Asuna knows that Kayaba Akihiko is among the players, she doesn't know who it is, Lulutia-sensei, you should have guessed it・・・・・"

"Hmph~" Lulutia snorted softly, this voice was a wordless answer.

And at this moment, suddenly a woman with short dark blue hair, big black-framed glasses, dark green eyes hidden under the glasses were wide open, wearing a simple dark blue plain dress, and a small short sword in a sheath on her waist ran in front of the three of them!

Clyde, who had glanced at her, didn't pay much attention to it, but when a group of children about the same age as Yui ran behind the woman, Clyde suddenly reacted, this seems to be the plot in the original book!

"They look hurried, and anxious, to see what's going on!" Lulutia said to Clyde after taking a closer look.

"Let's go along and have a look~ If you can, it's best to help them if you can. Clyde said this, handing the Yuki on his back to Lulutia to hold, and the two nodded to each other, giving full play to their super high agility attributes, and quickly kept up with the pace ahead!

Following in the footsteps of the woman in front of her, she crossed the woods into the streets of the East 6th District, and then through the alleys. While running straight through the entrance of the NPC shop and the courtyard of the private house, the two of them saw a group of people blocking the path ahead!

"[Army]?" Looking ahead, judging from the gray-green and black-iron unified equipment, the group of at least ten people is the player of the [Army]!

"Could it be ・・・・・・・" Looking at the worried expression of the short-haired woman in dark blue, combined with the words of the man she had met before, Lulutia seemed to have guessed something.

Immediately afterward, Clyde and Lulutia followed the woman into the alley without hesitation, and then quietly hid themselves in a corner.

But then, a wave of ill-intentioned voices sounded in everyone's ears.

"Oh!

“…… Let the children go!" the woman said in a stiff voice!

"Don't say it so badly. We're just teaching them some social knowledge, and we're going to let them go right away. ”

"That's right, it's the duty of citizens to pay taxes after all!" Then the man let out a shrill laugh, which made the short-haired woman's clenched fists tremble slightly.

"Silver, Cain, Minai, are you there?" the short-haired woman shouted to the other side of the men, and the girl's frightened voice came from inside, "Teacher! Teacher...... Help us!"

"Sure enough・・・・・・・" Clyde heard the voice and determined that this was the plot of the original book.

"Don't worry about the money, it's okay to give it all to them!" said the short-haired woman, and then only heard the voice of the young man who seemed to be squeezed out of it said, "Teacher...... Useless ......"

"Giggling-hee-hee・・・・・・"

One of the men blocking the road let out a spasmodic laugh, "That's because your taxes are too high...... It's not enough to hand over the money!"

"That's right, it's not okay not to hand over the equipment, plus all the armor...... Not one is missing!" said one of them.

Hearing this, seeing the despicable smiles of these [army] people, even a fool can guess what is really going on in the alley.

In towns, i.e., in the protective circles of the street districts, programs called crime control orders are in operation at all times, so it is impossible to do things like hurt other players or simply move them.

But on the other hand, it is impossible to eliminate players who obstruct the movement, and it also causes vicious harassment such as this kind of 'barrier' that blocks the passage and blocks people, or even the 'encirclement' that directly surrounds each other with several people, so that people can't move a single step.

However, this can only be done if you are moving on the ground.

"Hehe・・・・・・ I came back here after a long absence, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, and my good mood was disturbed by you・・・・・・・・"

The cold voice like the cold wind in the north instantly attracted everyone's attention, and both the short-haired woman and the army couldn't help but put their eyes on the source of the sound-the young man in a red robe on a black background slowly walked out of the corner of the alley.

"Ahh

But Clyde's speed was far beyond everyone's imagination, and in the blink of an eye, the pitch-black ・・・・・・ death-like figure appeared inside the 'siege'.
