On the XX day of the XX month, half past ten in the morning

"Is there a way to open an unopened maze, generally speaking, the special mazes on each floor have already been troughed through," Kirito thought while holding Yui in one hand, "Most of the mazes are related to levels, except for the special maze on the thirty-eighth floor, which is limited to missions, and the rest can be opened as long as the player reaches the required level."

"Could it be that the limit level of that maze is higher than level 90?

"But where did you find a special labyrinth? Are there any monsters such as limited bosses? As soon as Kirito said this, he lifted his spirit, "If there is one, I'll go with you, I happen to have itchy hands lately!" ”

"Kirito, is it time to attack the labyrinth" Asuna withdrew her fist angrily, "Really, the most important thing now is Yui, don't worry about other things!" ”

"Well, otherwise, you can help us find Yui's parents, and then I'll help you find a way to open the labyrinth" Kirito thought for a while and then proposed, "It just so happens that your enemy seeking skills are high enough, maybe you can find some clues"

"Deal" agreed very decisively, he didn't intend to owe favors, this kind of transaction was just right for himself

"Then you can go to church first," he said, pointing to the northeastern area, "There is a person on the first floor who has adopted a lot of children, maybe he might know something"

"Asuna and I both know this, and we were going that way," Kirito nodded, "Let's go together"

"Whatever"Why do you have to let me be a light bulb? And it's the kind with high watts

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of the church

"Is anyone in there, please?" Asuna knocked on the door of the church with her right hand, "Is anyone there?" ”

"There's someone inside," Kirito and Takashi said at the same time

"Huh?" Asuna was surprised, "Can you see it?" ”

"Well, you'll know the proficiency level of the Enemy Seeking skill after 980," Kirito replied

"After 1000, you won't be able to see through, right?"

"Then there will definitely be a lot of automatic radar in the guild," Chong complained

"That's right," Asuna shuddered as she thought about the situation, and she was afraid that she would have to run away quickly

"Excuse me, but we're here to find someone, can you ask someone inside to open the door?" Kirito pulled Asuna past and knocked on the door

"Aren't you from the army?" Half a day later, a woman's inquiry came from inside

"We have nothing to do with them at all, we came from the top to find someone," Kirito replied in a loud voice

"Squeak" Soon after, a female player shuddered and opened the door, she had short dark blue hair and heavy black-rimmed glasses, although it was said that glasses were allowed in the game, but Chong had seen it for the first time, after all, there was no such thing as myopia in the game

"Isn't it really from the army that came to collect taxes?" The female player asked again

"We have nothing to do with them at all, we came from the upper echelons to find someone," Kirito replied seriously

"Words like this"

"From above? Then you must be real swordsmen! "Before the female players could finish speaking, a bunch of bear children rushed out of the church, could it be that this is a bear child hell?!

"Put the figure away!"

"Software programs need to be protected!" The two men were clearly out of control

"What the hell is going on," Asuna said, not understanding how things were going on

"What, don't you have any weapons on you?" A hedgehog-headed boy was the first to speak in disappointment, Hey, little ghost, your hairstyle is very hot, you know!

"No, it's not nothing," Kirito replied subconsciously

"Really?! Let me see, let me see! "It's over, the bear child is about to start attacking

"This"

"Kirito, don't you have some weapons for missions in your inventory?"

"Oh oh oh" Kirito clicked on the inventory at Asuna's reminder, and then several low-level weapons such as short swords and curved knives were piled up all over the ground

"Doesn't it matter if you do this?" asked the female player weakly

"It's okay, you won't get hurt in a safe area no matter what" is actually a misunderstanding, not being hurt means not being injured by a weapon, and if you rely on brute force like yourself, you can get people hurt

"Anyway, I'm sorry, please come in and have a cup of tea," the female player quickly moved out of the way, "Please"

"That's rude," Asuna walked in taking Yui's hand while Kirito waited to retrieve the weapon

After a while of communication

"So the kid has lost his memory," as soon as he entered the door, he heard that the conversation had gone on so far

"Yes, so I want to ask you if you have seen this child's parents."

"No, most of the children here are logged into the game alone, and some of them are parents I haven't seen this child, maybe the parents took them directly to the upper floor," the female player touched Yui's head, "Maybe her parents have already been"

"It's not impossible to have memory damage because of this mental impact," Chong continued, "Just die in front of you."

"Yui" Asuna hugged Yui sadly after hearing this, she also thought about this possibility, but she didn't dare to agree with this conclusion

"Mom?" Yui looked at her puzzled, and the scene suddenly fell silent

"Teacher! Sasha-sensei! Oh no! At this moment, the door was suddenly slammed open, and the red-haired hedgehog-headed boy rushed in with tears in his eyes, just like the woman he loved had been snatched away

"That's rude, that's rude to the guests."

"Brother Silver has been arrested! Those who were armed! ”

"What!" Sasha stood up, and Asuna followed suit

Chong and Kirito thought in their hearts at the same time, of course, it's not that there is a mental problem, but that the two of them are going to hold back something if they continue like this, and the sudden silence is really uncomfortable

"Where," Sasha said solemnly

"In the open space behind the props in the East 5th District"

"I'll go right away! / I'll go" Kirito and Takashi hurriedly left

"Huh?" What's wrong with the two of them today, how is it the same as a different person

"Why are you coming along?"

"I don't know how uncomfortable it is to have a person between you and your wife?"

"I don't feel anything."

"I'm talking about me!" Pushing and shoving along the way passed

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― old-fashioned dividing line

"This is it" went around from the prop house.,I won't talk about the incident of Kirito hitting the wall halfway here (it's strange),Anyway, when they arrived,,It seems that the villains are still abiding by the fine tradition of "waiting for the protagonist to arrive, and then do it".,It's really hard work.

"Hey, who of you babble!" For some reason, as soon as I opened my mouth, I froze

"What do you want to do to the kids?"

"Run!" Suddenly, they dispersed

"Nani" Kirito doesn't understand the situation at all, can they know themselves? Do you know you're an upper-class player?

“？” ← - the culprit is watching from the sidelines

"Was it solved so quickly?" After returning with a bunch of children, it was only half an hour later, "Well, but it was expected."

"I don't know why, they ran away as soon as they saw us" Kirito, who finally got rid of the child's entanglement, smiled bitterly, "I don't look scary."

"A face with a woman," a child told the truth with a playful smile

"I didn't" look at this attitude, and I know that someone once said this

"Thank you so much, if you don't dislike it, let's have lunch here," Sasha said enthusiastically, "Please be sure to appreciate your face, these children are also very interested in the things of the upper echelons."

"Stay!"

"We want to hear stories!"

"Please~~"

"Okay then" Asuna and Kirito could only reluctantly agree, and by the way, they also pulled Chong over, so what are you trying to do! Show me blind as a bachelor!

"Minay! Give me one of the bread over there! ”

"I'm going to spill my soup! Be careful! ”

"Ahh My poached eggs! Teacher, he bullied me! ”

"I obviously exchanged carrots with you!"

"This is really amazing" Asuna and Kirito looked at the scene at the dining table in amazement, more than twenty children were eating around the table, which was a little too majestic for these two people who only ate in the family for two or three people all year round

"But everyone seems to be really happy," Asuna chuckled after a moment's pause, "I've never had a lively house like this."

"Me too, only my mother and sister eat together at home, and no one comes to visit during the New Year" This guy is definitely showing off! Your dad died too miserably!

"Why are you looking at me" Chong said that there was a lot of pressure, isn't this a draft to compare yourself badly, for a person who can only go back to the room with a bowl when eating in the house, this is simply a battlefield

-- Besides, being caught in it is too out of place, and the atmosphere is too uncomfortable

"Someone is coming, alone" Kirito, who was sipping tea, looked out the door

The "woman" sits upright, and he is not used to eating in front of others

"Are you Sherlock Holmes and Watson?"

"Those two are!" Kirito and Chong shouted in unison

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuriel from ALF" introduced herself as soon as she entered the door, probably because Kirito was standing next to Sasha with a sword

-- Actually, he is the culprit

"ALF," Asuna wondered as she first heard the name, "is it a small guild?" ”

"No, that's an abbreviation for Army, because the official name is a bit tricky for me," Yuriel said embarrassedly

"What's the matter?" Chong said indifferently after hearing this

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to find trouble, there's something I want you to help with," Yuriel hurriedly waved her hand and looked at Kirito how you scared others

-- However, he is still the culprit

"Then sit down and talk," Asuna said

"Thank you very much," Yuriel sat down a little stiffly, "Because the situation is a bit urgent, can you just let me explain?" ”

"Please speak" At this time, you can only rely on Asuna, and Kirito and Chong are helplessly holding weapons to stand on both sides

It always feels like it's a bit like an adult's work environment

"Yes, I will explain from the beginning that the name "Army" was not used from the beginning, but became the name of the Army, that is, the current name of ALF, after the former vice-president, and the current de facto ruler, the man named the Tooth King, took real power. The original name was Guild MTD, have you heard of it? ”

Asuna hadn't heard of it, but Kirito immediately replied, "The abbreviation of 'MMOTODAY' is right, the largest online game comprehensive intelligence station in Japan at the beginning of SAO, and the person who organized the guild should be the administrator there, I remember the name is"

When "Xinka" said the name, Yuriel's expression distorted slightly, almost making Chong think that his name was Simba

"Originally, Xinka's original purpose was definitely not to be such an undeniable authoritarian organization as it is now, he just wanted everyone to have enough resources," Yuriel then said in a sad tone, "all because of the man called the Tooth King."

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the beginning of this story is very familiar

"He demanded the enforcement of military management on the grounds that Sinka's policy was too laissez-faire, first changing the name to the People's Liberation Army, and then proposing the policy of hunting criminals and occupying resource areas, of course, Sinka had opposed and suppressed these proposals for a while, but as the supporters of the Tooth King in the guild increased, these proposals could only be proposed" Yuriel bit her lip "We have also done our best"

"If you really want to stop these proposals, you should just expel him, instead of temporarily suppressing him and allowing him to gain support," Chong said indifferently

"I also told him that, but he didn't listen to him, he thought that the starting point was good after all, and besides, fellow players should not use their power to oppress others"

What the hell is the concept of "tsk", too stupid and naïve

"Go on," Asuna said

"Yes, in fact, most of the supporters of the Tooth King follow him out of profit, so the Tooth King must always provide them with funds, which leads to the Tooth King faction not caring about the maze at all while crazy about collecting money, so the opposition of other players is getting higher and higher, so they have also done some stupid things recently" When he said this, Liye became even more distressed "He sent several of the most senior players in the guild to the seventy-fourth floor to take the initiative to attack the boss, of course, the result"

Kirito and Asuna fell silent

"The Tooth King himself who made such a failed decision must be in a desperate situation," Chong said indifferently

"Yes, I almost could have banished him! But at such a moment, the Tooth King actually directly resorted to a forcible policy...... "Yuliel gritted his teeth and said, "He used the entrance PK method to lock Xinka in the unopened floor under the Black Iron Palace."

“？” Why was he able to get in? Is he of a high rank?

"Is it" Kirito's face also became serious, this is indeed very tricky

"And Sinka didn't bring any armor or crystals because he listened to the lies of his disarmament peace talks, and the crystal's portal is deep in the labyrinth, so he is now in a very dangerous situation" As he said this, Liel stood up and bowed, "I can't succeed in the rescue alone, so please help!" ”

"This matter," Kirito was stopped by Asuna as soon as he wanted to speak

"Kirito, help her," Asuna said seriously

"Okay" No, no, no, don't you think it's going to be dangerous in the past? Didn't hear clearly? They didn't have any armor on board! That is to say he is naked. Body! It's going to be embarrassing for both parties in the past, right?

"Why do you trust the other party so much, let's not tell this kind of lie full of loopholes, it's strange why the other party's power swells so quickly, isn't it" Helpless Chong could only ask such a question

"I don't know very well, I just know that the two of them met in the hotel, the two of them had a good time, and then they continued to talk in the same room that night, and after the conversation came out at noon the next day, Xinka promoted the tooth king to be the vice president, maybe he met a bosom friend," Yuriel explained hesitantly

“”

Kirito and Takashi fell into shock and panic at the same time

--, isn't this a typical plot of love and killing, girl, you have a grass on your head!
