There have been several speculations, but all lack key evidence.

Shen Yun thought about it and set his eyes on Mei Ze, who looked uneasy.

Misawa Aikawa lowered the corners of her eyes very uneasily, and she could be subtly discerned that she was still scared and trembling even now.

"Miss Aikawa. ”

"Ahh ”

Mizawa hurriedly replied in a panic.

"Please tell me all the memories of Brother Ling's appearance, words and deeds. ”

"Yes, yes, but it doesn't matter if it's too much?"

Mei Ze said this sentence in a complicated heart, after all, 'all' means not only the recent, but also the past, childhood memories. What's more, it will be embarrassing.

In this regard, Shen Yun said.

"It's okay, if you can't finish it today, I'll continue tomorrow. ”

"It's not this!"

Because of the strong and shy feelings involved, Aikawa Mizawa summoned up great courage in his heart and said to the man who was like a stone and couldn't understand the girl's heart.

"There are many, many of them. ”

"Hmm. ”

Since Mei Ze repeatedly expressed the lengthiness of this memory, even Shen Yun couldn't pretend not to hear it. After weighing it, Shen Yun replied.

"Then I will leave out the trivial things of the day, and start with the parts that I have a clear memory, a complete narrative, and outstanding characteristics, and if there are more ambiguous parts, I will continue to ask questions. ”

"Good!"

Misawa Aikawa, who silently compared the victory in her heart, began her long, long narrative without the slightest dissatisfaction on the surface.

"Let's start with the first thing I remember when I was sensible, my brother was 7 years old and I was 3 years old. In the summer, we went to the river to play in the water—————— (omit about 300 words below.) ）。 ”

"Ah~, my brother who saved me at that time was so handsome!"

"And, yes, what a look like you were following me for the next month!"

uh——。

Looking at the girl who was in some kind of fanaticism, Shen Yun felt a trace of pressure.

At that time, I didn't realize that the essence of this girl was not just as simple as the rotten substance exposed on the surface.

"Well, don't get so excited. ”

Motioning for the girl to stop the gushing memoirs for a moment, Shen Yun raised her forehead and said.

"It feels a little different from the truth, so I'll check again. ”

"Are you sure that the 'brother' you call you have not changed much after being separated from you for so long? ”

"Ah~. ”

Aikawa Mizawa suddenly showed a lonely expression for some reason.

"It's true that my brother hasn't been in contact with me since he came to Kyoto. Even after I came, I didn't see anyone else, and my attitude was very different. It's like. ”

"Like?"

After a pause, Misawa Aikawa continued to say bitterly.

"It's like you're avoiding me. ”

'deliberate', 'avoid'.

As if grasping some hidden qualities, Shen Yun continued to ask.

"When did that start?"

"It happened to be the time when my brother's company was reorganized, and the time began in early 2021. ”

Starting with the key information, Shen Yun made a judgment like this.

The timing coincidences show that this is no accident, and it is impossible for the former director-level of Aikawa Lihara not to come into contact with some confidential matters within the company. The subsequent depression, deliberate avoidance of his sister, and the demotion on the resume are more indicative of the possible problems.

The key to it all.

- NERvgear (Civilian version of the Neural Link Device).

You must know that the fantasy world of Sword Art Online not only represents the enormity of its popularity, conception, and hidden 'intelligence', but also faintly connects with another work, its associated fantasy world, the acceleration world. And the key to connecting the two worlds is NERvgear.

Information I got from Tsubaki earlier.

The failure of the birth of the 'Guardian of the Courtyard' had something to do with the Honkai invasion of Sword Art Online, and Shen Yun hadn't been able to think of this aspect yet.

If、If this decisiveness means that the center of fantasy、The representative of the protagonist who appears in the story is not Kazuto Kiritani as previously identified, then everything would be easy to explain。

Why did Honkai not do it even though he grasped the biggest weakness for fantasy, and why did the will of the world not want to give up knowing that there was almost no possibility of continuing to save it, but continued to deliver 'nutrients' to SAO as if it were cutting meat.

For it, the 'Guardian of the Garden', which has not yet been born, is the most valuable, and that value even goes beyond itself.

So, after knowing the key to all this unverified mystery. Of course, Shen Yun intends to continue to search for a way to change SAO from the real world and escape from Honkai's grasp.

And that method, though not entirely certain. However, it must have a lot to do with RECT, the company that continues to manufacture the second-generation NERvgear (AmuSphere).

Thinking of this, Shen Yun said towards Aikawa Mizawa.

"Miss Aikawa. ”

"Anything else?"

Mei Ze hurriedly said, looking at Shen Yun worriedly.

"No, it's not a big deal. ”

Shen Yun said with some embarrassment.

"Makeup, will you?"

"Hah!"

A silent, silent, and incomprehensible wooden head.

According to these character fragments extracted from the exaggerated 'Aikawa Misawa Talk', Shen Yun seemed to see such a man.

Black hair, a slightly messy hairstyle that is not taken care of, and simple black glasses. A resolute man who always listens silently to the people around him. Have a strong sense of action and a serious personality when the goal is clear. Caring for her family, cherishing her sister's sense of responsibility and family love that doesn't want her to get into trouble.

Thinking back on all this, Shen Yun opened his already dull eyes again.

The appearance in the mirror is also imprinted.

It was rough cheeks that were not so much stiff, and the eyes were as dull as the featureless features.

"It's the same as in the photos. ”

Shen Yun nodded in agreement at the figure in the mirror.

"Then there's the sound. ”

"Miss Mizawa, is there a recording of Brother Ling?"

'Recording. ’

Hearing this word, Aikawa Mizawa's face suddenly turned red, and he said it hesitantly.

"Sorry, no. ”

Shen Yun, who was not hopeful about continuing to ask questions, simply walked towards the living room, and the subtle current was faintly flickering.

"Hey!wait!"

"What are you going to do in my room?"

He stopped at one end of the living room, in front of a door with a sign that read 'Sister's Room'.

"Check the recording equipment. ”

Shen Yun said expressionlessly.

"No! I don't have anything like that in my room!"

Mizawa Aikawa resolutely defended her position, and at this moment miraculously forgot the fear that Shen Yun had brought her before.

"I'm going in. ”

"No way!"

Seeing that the girl in front of him was so resolute, Shen Yun raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly.

It's a bit of a surprise.

"Hmm. ”

After thinking for a moment, the decision was made naturally.

As soon as the electric current flashed in his hand, the electromagnetic field naturally spread.

Driven by radio waves, a small voice recorder lying quietly in the pink quilt plays the only recorded audio at maximum volume.

It's simple, just a dialogue audio.

"Woo!"

The moment she heard it, the girl's cheeks flushed as if they had boiled charcoal. At the same time, there was a sound like the whining of a kettle.

Shen Yun listened to the girl's voice after the sad scream.

In the empty room, the voice of Aikawahara recorded by Misawa Aikawa echoes.

'Mizawa. ', 'Beauty.' ', 'Beauty.' ', 'Beauty.' ’

The remnant sun stained the clouds, and the girl's cheeks were imprinted with this charming crimson in the unblocked light.
