As if hearing Riffa's words, the god replied with a purring throat, and then folded his wings in order.

And so it descended at a very rapid rate. The whole body is getting smaller and smaller.

After letting the feather shine one last time, the incredible god vanished into the darkness of Üzhnheim.

Next, it should be easy to live in the sky where no one will bully it.

And one day Lifa will stand at the edge of the big cavern and shout its name again, and she will definitely let Lifa sit on its back.

Lifa quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then looked at Kirito's face and smiled.

"Come, let's go! I think this must be Arun. ”

After she finished speaking in a voice full of vitality, Kirito yawned heavily and replied, "Okay, let's try hard at the end." That one...... Lifa, don't tell anyone about the Broken Steel Sword...... Clyde's words are a different story. ”

She hadn't forgotten Clyde's nearly invincible team of magical girls!

"Ahh......h

It took less than three minutes to get here from the giant earthworm, but the road was far away to walk back on your own feet.

Pharaoh had long since given up counting the steps of the staircase, which was faintly illuminated by the light mushrooms, and she just kept climbing upwards, and after about ten minutes or so, a faint light finally appeared in front of her.

Silently exchanged glances with Kirito, and the two began the final sprint.

They climbed two stairs at a time, slamming their heads into the hollows in the trees.

After a squeak, the two fell onto a mossy terrace.

Because he was too fast, he spun around on the ground and sat down on the stone slab.

They closed their eyes for a moment, then quickly raised their heads, and what appeared in front of them was-

An exceptionally beautiful and majestic night view of the high-rise city.

Stone buildings that resemble ancient ruins are connected in all directions.

Rows of yellow torches, blue** lights, and pink mineral lamps flickered like starlight.

And the players who walk in these bright lights can be said to be tall, short, fat and thin. This is because the people of the nine elven races are all mixed in it.

After a brief glance at the dazzling night scene, Lifa suddenly looked up and directly above.

In the deep blue night sky, you can see clear images of the foliage.

“………… World Tree ........."

After whispering, Lifa moved her gaze to Kirito next to her, and then said, "......... You can't go wrong. This is Arun. It is also the center of Alpheim. The world's largest metropolis ......"

"Hmm. We're finally here......"

"I just don't know if Clyde has arrived, maybe it's still on the way, right?"

......So far, Lifa never imagined that there would be so many players who left their territory and enjoyed the freedom and adventure to the fullest.

The two of them sat on the edge of the terrace on the high ground for a while, experiencing the hustle and bustle of the big city.

But soon after, a loud, thick sound like an organ sounded.

Then a soft feminine voice descends from the sky.

This means that there will be a weekly scheduled system maintenance from 4 a.m., so the server will be temporarily shut down for operational broadcasting.

Since she had never logged in so late, it was the first time that Lifa had heard such a broadcast.

Remembering that there had been many new experiences since yesterday, Lifa threw her feet forward and stood up.

"That's all for today. Let's go to the hotel and log out. ”

"What time is the system maintenance?"

"By twelve o'clock at noon today. ”

"That's ......"

Kirito first looked down, then suddenly looked up and stared up at the sky.

Far ahead, the branches and leaves of the World Tree spread in all directions.

When she saw Kirito's black eyes narrowed and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, Lifa remembered the purpose of the girl's visit to Alpheim.

She was there to meet someone above the World Tree.

Who's that? If it's not an NPC on a mission, is it a staff member of the operating company, or is it ......

But before she could think any further, Kirito reverted to her old expression and said, "Let's find the inn." I'm already destitute now, so I can't live in a place that is too expensive. ”

“…… The swollen face and fat man will hand over all his property to Shuo Ye to have this kind of end. At least keep the accommodation fee!"

(Clyde: I'll get back to you.) ）

———————————————————— dividing line————————————————

When Kazuya came to the courtyard where there was still a little snow left, the cold air of the morning quickly surrounded her.

But even so, the drowsiness that stayed in my head still lingered.

After shaking his head several times, Kazuya made up his mind to go to the washing place in the corner of the courtyard.

Turn on the silver faucet, which is already a bit historical, and catch the running water with your hand.

After splashing cold water on his face, which was so cold that it was doubtful that he didn't even freeze on the faucet, the nerves that had been forced to wake up immediately felt pain in protest.

Ignoring the pain, she poured water on her face two or three more times before drinking directly from the tap.

When Kazuya wiped his face with a towel hanging around his neck, the glass door at the edge of the hallway was pulled open, and Naoha, who was wearing a tracksuit, also came to the courtyard.

She is always quite energetic in the morning, and today it is rare to be as sleepy and shaking her head as herself.

"Morning, Xiaozhi. ”

After saying hello to her, she staggered over to Kirito and said while winking, "Morning—sister." ”

"Why do you still look like you want to sleep so much. What time did you go to bed last night?"

"Uh-huh, probably around 4 a.m......."

Kazuya shook his head with a sigh.

"No, the child goes to bed so late. What are you doing?"

"That——...... Just surf the Internet......"

This answer surprised Kazuya a little.

In the past, Naoba would never have stayed up late because of surfing the Internet.

It made her feel that 'has this guy changed in the two years that he has been away'.

"Don't go to bed so late. Although I'm not qualified to say that you are......"

After taking the second half of the sentence in his mouth, Kazuya remembered something from last night's memory, so he said to Naoha: "Hey, Xiao Zhi, you turn back." ”

“……？”

Naoba tilted his unawake face and half-turned around.

After drenching a lot of water with her right hand under the faucet, Kazuya gently pulled open the collar of her straight-leaf tracksuit, and then dripped some ice water on her defenseless back.

"Wow——————!"

Naoba's whole person jumped up and let out a scream that shook the sky.

Naoba then looks angry when she stretches and swings her sword, but after making an appointment to treat her to a raspberry ice cream sundae at a nearby compound restaurant, she finally forgives herself (Author: I want such a nice sister too!).

Since both of them had overslept today, the hands on the clock were already past nine o'clock when the shower was over at the end of the exercise.

Mother is still asleep in the dormitory according to the custom.,So Naoba and Kazuya are in charge of preparing breakfast.。

After cutting the washed tomatoes into sixths, Naoba, who was shredding the lettuce next to him, looked at Kazuya's face and said, "Sister, what are you going to do today?"

"Well—I had an appointment after noon...... I wanted to go to the hospital before noon. ”

"That's ......"

After learning about Asuna's current condition, visiting her in the hospital once every two days has become his most important habit.

Of course, there is Clyde, who comes to see from time to time, and the appearance of that guy's military uniform is completely two people in the game.

In the real world, she is just a powerless sixteen-year-old girl, and what she can do for Asuna can be said to be quite limited.

It shouldn't be said that there is nothing that can be done for her. All I could do was hold her hand and pray.

And the night comes to mind the picture that Akyl sent over.

Relying on that clue, he stepped into the imaginary world of Alpheim, and it took two days to finally reach the vicinity of the girl in the photo, but there was no conclusive evidence to prove that she was Asuna.

It's possible that you've gone in the wrong direction.

But it's certain that there is something strange about that world - the man who wants Asuna to sleep forever - Sugo.

aLfheim on1ine, which runs on the business he runs.

Clyde's almost identical operating system to SAO's, as well as internal data.........

Even without Clyde's involvement, his data will inherit the old SAO self (Kirito), which is impossible to say without catty.

After the regular maintenance of aLo's server this afternoon, I will try to challenge and break through the World Tree in that elven country.

Whenever I think of this, the excitement makes Kazuya feel like her back is shaking.

She couldn't stay in her room any longer, wondering if she was going in the right direction until the maintenance was over.

So Kazuya decided to meet with Asuna in the real world before that to reconfirm the body temperature emanating from her body.

Although Sugo had threatened Asuna with her current situation not to go to the hospital (or that she obeyed Sugo), the guy had already been intimidated by Clyde once, and he probably wouldn't do anything to himself......
