"Wow!!"

of players suddenly look stunned and step back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the corner of the clearing, two teenagers and a young girl who looked to be less than fifteen years old leaned against each other, standing stiffly in place.

They were all unarmed, and wore only thin underwear.

"It's all right, let's put the gear back on. Clyde whispered reassuringly.

The surprised teenagers immediately nodded vigorously, and then hurriedly picked up the equipment at their feet, and then began to operate the window.

"Hey・・・・・ hey, hey, hey!!"

At this point, a player who came back to his senses shouted:

"Who are you little ghost?!Do you want to get in the way of the mission?!"

"Wait!"

A man who was armed a rank higher than the others stepped in to stop him. It looks like it should be the captain.

"Although I haven't met you, do you know what it means to be a hostile representative of the People's Liberation Army, do you want me to take you to the headquarters to have a good talk?"

The captain's squinting eyes had a ferocious glow. He pulled out the huge broadsword from his waist and made a deliberate movement, making the blade 'snap' in his hand and walked over.

The surface of the knife reflects the low setting sun, giving off a twinkle of light. It was a clear sheen peculiar to weapons that had never been damaged or repaired.

"Or do you want to go to the 'outside the circle' and go outside the circle?

"Heh, hehe・・・・・・・・" The moment he heard this, the smile on Clyde's face became even colder.

"If you want to fight so much, you don't have to go out of the circle~"

There's a very good premise here.

Attacking a player with a weapon in the Crime Prevention Circle will prevent damage from being thwarted by a transparent barrier during the mission. However, there is also a hidden implication of this rule, which is that the attacker does not have to worry about being marked as a perpetrator.

It is based on this point and is usually used in simulated battles during training.

However, as the attacker's ability stats and skills increase, the system color glow and impact sound effect when the command is activated become too intense, and depending on the power of the sword skill, although it is not much, it will also cause knockback.

It's a feeling that people who aren't used to it, even if they know that their health won't decrease.

And, most importantly, even if you know that your health won't decrease, the pain is still there!

Phew――――――

Due to the width of the alley, Clyde's scythe could not fully unfold, so he could only slam the man's head.

The surroundings were instantly dyed with purple flashes, and then there was an explosion-like impact sound, and the man's stiff face instantly tilted to the side, and he just stared blankly and slammed into the wall on the spot.

and pop a hint on the wall.

"Don't worry, your health won't decrease. But on the other hand, I'll go on until you regret and despair for it・・・・・・・・" Clyde held the scythe in his back hand and jerked it upward, followed by a flash of light and a loud bang. Knock the man who had just struggled to get up and was still in a state of confusion.

"Uhh Stop, stop!!" The man who was knocked to the ground by Clyde's blow let out a high-decibel scream, "You guys...... Don't just look from the sidelines...... Stop him!!!"

It's just that no one responds to him.

"You ・・・・・・・"

Looking back, he saw that the other players had collapsed to the ground as if they had been hollowed out, looking horrified at the blonde beauty standing in the middle holding the two-handed knight's sword, and behind her there seemed to be a little girl who had just woken up.

"Damn! wait for me!!" After stacking the harsh words, the man who was specially 'cared for' by Clyde fled in a dismayed manner.

Don't forget to take other players with you when you leave.

"That's amazing...... Big brother and big sister are so powerful! It's the first time I've seen this scene!" Seeing this scene, one of the red-haired iron-headed teenagers suddenly screamed excitedly.

"Heh, of course~" The coldness on Clyde's face disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile.

"But it's Clyde who is the most prominent~" Lulutia smiled slightly, and walked over to Clyde with Yui.

The children all cheered and rushed over, and the short-haired woman clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes tearful and laughing at the same time.

But at this time-

"Everybody...... Everyone's hearts ......" came a small but clear voice.

Lulutia suddenly turned her head and found that Clyde was looking into the air with Yui in her arms, and stretched out her right hand.

Lulutia looked in that direction, but there was nothing.

"Everyone's heart...... ...... all."

"Yui・・・・・・ what's wrong with you? Yui!" Yui blinked two or three times at Clyde's voice, revealing a frightened expression.

Lulutia hurried over and grabbed Yui's hand.

"Yui...... Do you remember anything?" Yui frowned and lowered her head in response to Clyde's question, and said with a murmuring expression, "...... I...... I...... I...... Didn't stay here...... Always ...... A ...... alone Stay in a very dark place......"

As if remembering something, Yui frowned and bit her lip.

And then, suddenly—

"Wow...... Yes...... Ahhh

The rustling murmur heard for the first time in SAO rings in Clyde's ears.

The next moment, all parts of Yui's stiff body began to shake violently as if they were about to disintegrate.

"Daddy...... I'm so scared...... Dad ...... Yui hugged Clyde, and Clyde kept caressing Yui's back, softly soothing her, until a few seconds later, when the strange phenomenon disappeared and Yui's stiff body relaxed.

"What the hell is ・・・・・・・" Lulutia looked at Yui in Clyde's arms, a puzzled expression.

Lulutia, who has the same knowledge of the technology side as Xiaobai (otherwise she wouldn't have tinkered with the ship's mother-making machine for half a day to make a Becktatiana), has no understanding of what is going on.

At this time, the woman with short dark blue hair on the side bowed ninety degrees to Clyde and Lulutia and said, "Thank you very much for your help!"

"Nothing, it's just a gesture. Clyde said with a smile.
