It's been more than five months since the start of SAO. The strategy is also in full swing.

About the tenth floor of Ayn Grant?

Probably~

Karn was in the wilderness area here and encountered a team that was in the middle of a quest.

A vanguard armed with a hammer and shield, an assassin armed with a short sword, a club man, and two spearmen.

This kind of lineup that is obviously lacking in avant-garde, if its team members are not very skilled, the gap is very big.

At the moment, they are facing a large group of monsters, and the team with insufficient strikers is struggling to the left and right, and it looks very bad.

Karn, however, didn't care about the team, his eyes were just on one of the pikemen in the group.

It was a very cute brunette girl, and her embarrassed appearance made her look even more cute.

The messenger, who was supposed to be the leader of the team, spotted Karn watching the battle. "Sir, could you please do me a favor?"

It's worth mentioning that Karn doesn't have a red killer cursor on his head right now.

"Eh~ Isn't it okay if I snatch the experience points?"

"Ah~ After all, life and death are hard to protect~ Please help us and relieve the pressure a little." I probably don't think Kahn is a strong person, I just hope to make up for the lack of strikers and then evacuate together.

"In that case~"

——————————

Probably still ten floors (?) ) in a tavern.

"Really...... Thank you so much! The young man named Keita bowed deeply to Karn. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get the big guy out safely. ”

"Eh~ Didn't you even think about it and started to attack monsters of that difficulty? Your team is really lucky~ ...... survived until now," Karn criticized mercilessly.

The crowd sat down after toasting.

"Uh......" Keita smiled wryly. After all, I don't have much experience. ”

"~~It doesn't matter~" Karn waved his hand, then looked at the dark-haired girl with a golden glow. "Hello~"

“！！ You, hello......" The girl was startled.

"Can you let me know your name?" The mouth is very literary, but the eyes are bright and scary.

"Uh...... I—My name is Yuki......"

“““……”””

Looking at Karn's attitude towards Yuki, Keita and the others knew very clearly...... Why would Karn help them~

"That ......," Keita said to Karn with a wry smile. Speaking of which, we haven't introduced ourselves yet~ How many of us~ In the real world, we are members of the computer research club of the same high school...... "Keita introduced several people, including himself.

"Oh~Just call me Karn~"

"Kahn ?!!!" ””

Keita, and even the rest of the tavern, all looked at Karn.

Black hair, blond eyes, seemingly defenseless cloth armor, and a dagger hanging from his waist......

Exactly as rumored......

"You're talking about Moro Kahn ...... 'SAO First Man'......??" Keita confirmed again.

"Eh~SAO first person? When did I get this title? But it's not too ugly, it's okay~~"

“…… But, but, if you're Mr. Morro...... Why is it here? I heard that Mr. Moro was forcibly imprisoned in the Black Iron Palace by the system for harassing women, didn't he? ”

"Why do you know about me molesting female NPCs?!" Karn looked furious.

Two months ago, because of harassing the beauty elf NPC in a large mission, Karn was judged by the system and teleported to the Black Iron Palace to be imprisoned~ so he slept for two months~~

——Cut~ Obviously Kizmer-chan already has feelings and says~~ When you turn around, you must take her out of SAO~~~ Slowly...... Hey, hey......~

It is worth mentioning that the red cursor on Karn's head slowly faded to a pale yellow after two months.

"Is it harassing NPCs?!! It's really worthy of ......" Keita admired it, in fact, there are too many beautiful female NPCs in SAO, and he often wants to do this, but unfortunately it is hindered by the system......

In fact...... Many of the men present also looked admiring, and they were sure that Karn was not lying!

This is the bearing that the first person in SAO should have!

"Humph! Isn't that a matter of course? Karn clasped his hands to his chest. If you don't even have the consciousness to boldly embrace the person (character) you like, what kind of man is it! ”

"Yes! Teachable! ”””

"Alas~ It's a pity, I originally wanted you to join our guild~" Keita said regretfully.

"Ah~ I can't help it~ I set up a guild myself~~It's called Moro's Lover's House~" Karn looked proud, and then looked at Yuki with a gleam of eyes. "So ~Yuki-chan~ Do you want to come to my guild~ Asuna-chan, they'll welcome you~~!!" (Though he'll beat Karn up for a beating.) ）

"Uh...... Sorry......" Yuki decisively refused, and she looked around at her fellow guild mates.

"Is this so~~It's a pity~~~ If you stay in this kind of guild all the time, you will probably die quickly......"

Karn uttered a very rude remark.

But there is no sarcasm in the words, he is simply stating the facts.

Everyone in the guild of Yuki and the others, the Black Cats of the Moonlit Night, knew this very well.

"Huh? Why? This sentence made Yuki's expression very strange. Karn saw the change.

"It's very simple~~" Karn said lightly, and everyone in the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night listened nervously. "Because you're all rookies, and this game doesn't have a chance to do it all over again like other games~~ If you become a subsidiary guild of another guild, it's another story~~ But looking at your will-filled appearance, I guess you won't be willing to be subservient? There are ambitious goals, but there is not enough ability to support ideals, unless your luck is good enough to go against the sky, otherwise ~~ death is a matter of time. ”

"......" Keita and his party were silent and bowed their heads.

"Mr. Morro!" After a long time, Keita spoke. "May I ask, what is the size of your guild? ……”

"Huh? It's three people now, right~ What's wrong? ”

"Three...... Does your guild need a subordinate guild? ”

"~No~~~ At least your guild doesn't meet the requirements to become my affiliated guild~"

"Ask for ......??"

"That's right! It has to be a guild that is all women, and I'll accept it! ”

““……””

"Anyway, what do you want to do when you want to be my affiliate guild?"

"Uh......" Keita scratched his head a little embarrassed. Of course, I hope to be able to learn some skills~ Although I heard that many people have been rejected from Mr. Moro for apprenticeship~~"

"Learning a craft? Fighting? ”

"Hmmm......"

"That's no problem~"

"Huh...... Eh?!! Keita was pleasantly surprised. May I?!! ”

"Well~~ Actually, I'm quite confident in practicing beautiful girls. By the way, it's no problem to guide others. ”

"Huh...... Won't it take too much time for you to participate in the guide? And we seem a little too cheeky to accept your guidance like this......"

"Anla~~ I didn't mix much of the frontline strategy~~ because I would waste LA...... As for you~Of course it's not a free guide~~ If there's any material I need to drop while fighting monsters, give it to me, because I can't explode. Karn said to Keita with a relaxed expression, a hint of sadness in his smile.

"...... "It seems that the rumors of super bad luck are also true...... "Then we will accept it cheekily!"

Keita said that, and after thanking Karn with the members of the Black Cat Group on a Moonlit Night, they had dinner together.

But...... Only Karn found out......

From the moment Karn said they would die, the only female member of the Black Cat Troupe on a moonlit night, Yuki's eyes...... There has always been a fear of being on the verge of collapse.
