"Whew... Japan is really prosperous..."Looking at the crowded crowd in front of her, the girl couldn't help but raise her head and sigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This hooded girl standing on the streets of Tokyo is our protagonist Zhou Yong, oh, by the way, we should call her Artoria now. Now she wears an inconspicuous casual outfit, and in order to avoid trouble, she uses the hood on her sweatshirt to hide most of her face. Regardless, Artoria was well aware of how lethal her appearance was to men.

But girl, although you don't want to attract any attention, the silhouette outlined by the sweatshirt and jeans belongs to a beautiful girl from any angle, not to mention the elf-like face looming under the hood. And even if you inherit Saber's wretched washboard body, it will attract some men with strange hobbies, such as shouting "Poor breasts race high!" "Otaku or something...... You see, that young man over there has been peeking at you, what a youthful youth.

Artoria looked up at the huge display in the department store in front of her, "May 2022... Explaining that this is an anime with a near-future theme, I can roughly guess which world it is, but I still have to confirm it. With that, the girl walked into the department store.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It doesn't look like technology has developed much in 2022......." Artoria sighed in disappointment as she looked at the dazzling array of goods in front of her, but not much different from her previous life. I wanted to see if there were any new things to take back and play. “

The girl could not help but think of the gray-haired old housekeeper in the house, and the poor old man almost cried with joy when he heard that the eldest lady, who had not been out of the house for a year, was going out shopping, and gave Artoria a black bank card, and told her to buy what she wanted to buy directly, without worrying about money.

"What a warm person..."The girl's heart warmed. He probably thought I was finally out of the shadows. ”

At this time, a poster attracted the girl's attention. "It's both virtual and real... The perfect feeling of being there... Completely stealth.. rvgear...... Sure enough, I guessed correctly, this is the world of Sword Art Online. ”

"System, are you there?"

[Host, I've always been]

"This is a few months before SAO starts, am I guessing right?"

[That's right]

"Do I have to enter SAO?"

[That's right, only in the game world can the host meet their own predetermined characters]

"Am I going to die in there?"

[Of course, because this system will not issue gold fingers, so the host is a proper ordinary person, if it dies, it is really dead]

"Is there really no benefit?"

[As I have reminded, equipment such as the Sword of Victory and related skills belonging to Saber will be gradually released as game data as the plot of the anime develops, but it will definitely be weakened on the basis of the original to adapt to this world]

"Hearing you say that, I'm a little afraid to enter that game........"

[The system has not only had one purpose for weakening you so much]

"Purpose?"

[Child, as a girl, you have to rely on boys more, and you are still so beautiful (serious talk)]

”...... Depend on! “

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Looking at the information on the poster, the official open beta of SAO is November 06, 2022, which means that I still have 6 months to prepare..."In her indoor dojo, Artoria fell into deep thought. Because I had a butler to take care of everything, I didn't have to stay up late to queue up to buy a nervgear. ”

As soon as she got home, the girl told the old butler that she wanted to get nervgear, and the enthusiastic old man promised to buy it, and looked at Artoria with a look of "my eldest lady is finally going to play video games when she grows up", and stared at her heart.

"To be honest, I don't want to go to that game either, how can anyone know it's a death game and still desperately drill into it..."

The girl raised her arms, stared at the weak palm, and smiled bitterly. "But it's really not a benefit at all, it's all a pair of eldest lady's hands."

That's right, although Saber is a well-known king of knights, but because the system doesn't give out any benefits, Artoria ♀ is now powerless ♀ ♀ ♂, and she is a veritable quiet and beautiful girl (snickering).

"Forget it, time waits for no one, seize the opportunity to improve your ability in the remaining half a year!" Artoria brushed the short ponytail tied to the back of her head, and grabbed the wooden sword that had been placed beside her.

According to the setting of the anime, when you first enter SAO, the players' physical values are the same, so there is no benefit to building muscles. But swordsmanship skills can't be lost, haven't you seen Kirito mix so well in Sword Art Online? In addition to his participation in the closed beta, in fact, his kendo foundation also helped him a lot invisibly.

Artoria decided to improve her swordsmanship foundation in the remaining 6 months! For this reason, she specially asked the housekeeper to invite an expert in Western heavy swords to teach herself--as a saber, of course, she could not use the Japanese kendo method to wield the one-handed sword in her hand like Kiritani Kazuto, but swung the two-handed heavy sword with a wide open and closed heart!
