Chapter 501 turned on the accelerator

On the 50th floor of 'Al Ain Grant', in a room in a hotel, Nightshade and Celica sat on opposite sides of the table......

"I'm sorry to hide it from Sirika for so long......" Nightshade said to Sirika apologetically. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

“……”

"Huh? Sirika? ”

After being silent for a while, Yelika, who didn't hear Sirika's response, couldn't help but look at Celica, who had been lowering her little head, and asked a little nervously.

"Then, the Nightshade ...... Brother Nightfall, are you leaving Celica? Responding to the night's death was Celica's hesitant voice and her eyes that flashed with mixed emotions.

"Alas! I thought you were worried about something, but you were worried about it! Don't worry, unless the cute Sirika-chan dislikes me, I won't be willing to leave the cute Sirika-chan. Knowing what kind of problem Sirika was struggling with, Nightshade finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and patted Sirika's little head and said.

"Eh, eh!" Hearing the words that could be regarded as a confession, and then recalling his previous cranky thoughts, Celica suddenly became shy, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Well, I didn't say it, Celica is like my sister! Don't Celica like my brother? If Sirika doesn't like it, I won't force it, I'll go! Speaking of which, Nightshade suddenly pretended to be sad and got up to leave.

"No, no, no! I, I love it! After hearing Nightfall's words, Sirika was startled, and when she saw Nightshade preparing to get up and leave, she suddenly grabbed Nightshade's arm without thinking about it, and said with an anxious face.

"Ahh That's right! I thought Silica hated herself," said Silica, who suddenly turned around and looked at Celica with a smile.

In fact, after saying the previous paragraph, Celica felt that something was wrong, and she looked at the smiling face of the night and said in a panic: "It's just my sister's kind of liking for my brother!" Don't think crooked! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's just the kind of love that my sister has for my brother! ”

So, under the gaze of Lorraine, Sirika's little face quickly dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a large puff of steam came out of her head!

――――

"What's next for Celica?" After resurrecting Bina, Nightshade looked at Celica, who was playing with Bina, and asked.

"Huh!?" As soon as Nightshade finished speaking, Celica's smile couldn't help but froze, and then she said lonely, "You... Going? ”

"Well, I've been staying in this place for two days, I'm going back to my home on the twenty-second floor, will Sirika go?" Nightshade asked, looking at Celica steadily.

"Huh! Me, is that okay? Hearing the invitation of the night dead, Celica was stunned for a moment, and then said in a slightly flustered manner.

"Of course! Sirika should be able to get along well with them. Although she was a little worried about Asuna and Kiriko's reaction, Nightshade still stubbornly said.

"The 'they' that Brother Nightfall said should all be girls, right?" Hearing the "she" in Nightfall's words, Sirika couldn't help but ask.

"yes. If you count it, they should all be the big sisters of Silika-chan. Remembering the age of Asuna and Kiriko, Nightshade replied.

"Huh? The big sister that Brother Nightshade said, isn't it the 'flash' Asuna? Thinking of the rumors she had heard, Cerica seemed to have guessed who one of the big sisters of Nightfall was, after all, she often heard some gossip that Asuna had an extraordinary relationship with the strongest player, Nightfall, and some gossip that Asuna would go to Nightshade's house every day to cook.

"Huh? Cilica, you guessed it. ”

――――

After solving Sirika's affairs, Nightshade also returned home with Sirika.

There, Asuna, who had already prepared dinner, was quietly waiting for his return with Kiriko.

But this was before seeing Celica......

When the two girls saw Sirika intimately holding one of Nightshade's arms, the two women's attitudes suddenly sank, and they asked Nightshade what was going on.

In desperation, Nightshade could only explain to the two girls. Finally, after Nightshade told the two of them in detail what happened, including Silica's story, the two women's attitudes finally eased, and they accepted Silica's existence.

In the following days, as in the past, Asuna went to the strategy team to lead the team during the day, and came back to cook at noon and evening. Kiriko ran around the floors, inquiring about the news of the Red Name Guild. Nightshade always goes to the labyrinth area alone to level up, and every once in a while he trades all the items he hits that he can't use to Kiriko, and throws all the ingredients to Asuna.

Seeing that more than half of the space in her backpack was full of various ingredients, and even many of them were ultra-rare S-class ingredients that other players might never see in their lifetime, Asuna smiled stupidly.

Because of the large amount of ingredients she got from Nightfall, Asuna's cooking skills improved much faster, and she was promoted to the top a few months earlier than in the original books, becoming the first player in SAO to have top cooking skills.

As for Sirika, because her healing ability is so useful, she was invited by Asuna to join the strategy group as a lone player, of course, although she is a lone player, but generally she acts with Asuna.

It's the end of February.

In the afternoon of this day, Nightshade did not go to the maze area to level up, but went to the dock by the lake to fish.

Along with him was Uncle Nishida, who had been introduced to Asuna before.

"By the way, Nightfall, have you heard about the presence of ghosts in this forest recently?"

Mr. Nishida put a small fish he had caught in the inventory and turned to Nightshade.

Phantom?

A flash of light flashed in Nightfall's heart.

Mr. Nishida continued, "It is said that it was a little girl who was wandering alone in the forest, and it was very strange that people who saw her often lost sight of her in the blink of an eye. ”

Girl?

Nightshade is basically sure in his heart that the so-called little girl's ghost is likely to be Yui!

Yui was originally SAO's MHCP, and it was a consulting AI responsible for maintaining the mental health of players. Soon after the game was launched, Yui was ordered by the AI with more advanced system permissions, prohibiting mental health counseling between her and the player, and at the same time, because SAO became a death game, a large number of players' despair, resentment and other negative emotions filled the entire game, and finally Yui was infected by these malicious causes the program to malfunction and collapse.

In the original book, Yui was attracted by the strong positive emotions between Kirito and Asuna and appeared by the two of them, and eventually became Kirito and Asuna's daughter by accident.

But now, Yui seems to have appeared earlier than in the original book.

Nightshade thought in his heart, maybe because of his own reasons, Yui appeared in the game world in advance, and this time it was probably himself who attracted Yui.

"Has Mr. Nishida ever seen that ghost?" Nightshade asked, looking at the fish floating on the water.

Mr. Xitian touched the back of his head and laughed, "I don't dare to see those things on this old bone!" How? Is the little brother of the night dead interested in this? ”

"Well, it's a little."

Nightshade watched the fish float begin to rise and fall, his eyes lit up, and with a skillful wave of his hand holding the fishing rod, a fat fish was caught.

"Good boy! It's amazing! Looking at the big fish caught by Nightfall, Mr. Nishida's face was full of envy.

Nightshade put away the big fish, said hello to Mr. Nishida, and left the lake. (To be continued.) )
