"Oooh!! Kiri—"

Finding that his 'mentor' had appeared in the team, the down-and-out samurai wearing a turban had an excited face.

It's just that before he shouted, he was covered up faster by a certain girl.

"Brother...... Brother? It's my brother, right?! ”

Rushing forward excitedly, Naoba's eyes were moist and he looked at the slightly handsome young man in front of him.

Because she hadn't heard of someone on the first floor, she thought that her brother and the person were offline before the world died, and she was a little sad at the same time.

It's just that I didn't expect to see him here today.

But for Naoba, the fact that his brother is alive is the best news.

"Xiao Zhi?!"

Hearing someone call for him, Kirito was obviously more surprised than Naoba when he saw someone coming.

He had the impression that his sister would never have touched such a game.

"Why are you ......!"

"Kirito! Are you here too! Ha ha!! ”

Looking at his sister in shock, Kirito was just about to ask the reason, but he was hooked by Klein, who rushed over.

"Klein?!"

"Huh?"

Because Kirito happened to block Naoba, Klein didn't see the sad atmosphere of the two, and just thought it was an acquaintance.

It wasn't until he saw the girl with tears in the corners of his eyes that the down-and-out samurai realized that he had messed up, and honestly folded his hands in front of him, bowing his head and asking for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"Really, you ...... thing"

It was supposed to be the moment when the brother and sister who lived for the rest of their lives were moved to reunite, but they were all destroyed by this guy.

“…… Hee-hee. ”

Sighing speechlessly, Kirito turned around just in time to see his sister wiping the corners of her eyes and chuckling.

Seeing this scene, both of them raised the corners of their mouths a little dumbly.

Although there were not too many words, the mood of both parties had already been reached.

And Naoba is even happier that the family affection that has been estranged has finally shown signs of sticking together.

In that way, half of her purpose of entering this world has been accomplished.

As for the other half......

Turning around and seeing the black-haired girl with her hands on her hips and happy for herself, Naoba's heart warmed.

Perhaps, it's not far away.

……

"Kirito, won't you introduce us to it?"

As if to end the conversation with Diaberu, the iron-gray-haired youth came to the two of them.

"Heathcliff ...... Head. ”

Before he said hello very smoothly, Kirito said a little embarrassed.

"This kid ...... Xiao Nao...... Lifa is my sister. ”

Glancing at Naoba's character's name, Kirito quickly changed the introduction, while decisively ignoring a certain samurai who was shouting about his sister on the side.

It's better not to reveal things in reality.

"Hello, my brother has been taken care of by you."

Very politely thanked Heathcliff, although Naoba didn't know why his brother was in his team, but seeing Kirito's respect for the other party, it must be a captain or something.

"Hehe, it's better for brother and sister to see each other safely than anything else."

Congratulating in the tone of an elder, Heathcliff nodded at Naoha.

“...... Anyway, Kirito, didn't you say you were a solo player? ”

Finding that he finally had a chance to speak, Klein, who had been unable to interject, asked again in confusion.

"Well, that's a long story......"

As if he didn't want to say more, Kirito scratched his face and looked away.

"Since Kirito and your sister are here, would you like to invite her to join our team?"

Glancing at Naoba, Heatscliffe made a pertinent suggestion to Kirito.

“……”

“…… Xiaozhi, what do you think? ”

Without rushing to make a decision for Naoba, Kirito gave up the choice, of course, as an older brother, she naturally hoped that her sister could stay under her protection.

“…… No, thank you, brother. ”

Kirito was not surprised, but a little disappointed, Naoba shook his head.

"Because—"

Turning his head, Naoba guided the boy to look at his partner who had left the space for them.

"I've found great teammates!"

There, everyone is still waiting for her!

……

"Is it true that you don't want to keep your sister?"

Seeing Naoba return to his team, Heathcliff, who was standing next to Kirito, asked again.

"Well, Lifa has been much stronger than me since she was a child, and now that she has found so many partners, maybe she can go further than me."

With a sigh, Kirito smiled with relief.

Moreover, as long as you can attack faster, isn't it a kind of protection?

At least the boy was more determined in his beliefs at the moment.

“…… Is it? That's really something to look forward to. ”

As he said this, Heatscliff's eyes were on a certain girl waving at Naoba.

Then, the man smiled meaningfully.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

With the addition of the Hizcliffe team, the Raiders team is finally back to full again.

With Diabeglu's emotional mobilization, the enthusiasm of the other teams has finally slowly recovered.

After coming to the floor boss's room again, Diaberu didn't speak, just looked at everyone with bated breath and nodded heavily.

Needless to say, the gesture had fully conveyed what he was about to say, and then the knight pushed open the oppressive door under the gaze of everyone.

Just like on the first floor, the gray battlefield was lit up again, and the traces of the previous squad's battles had completely disappeared.

A monster named "Taurus King Asterius" and his men roared into the scene.

……

The strategy began as Diabelu had arranged when he was in the waiting area.

Of the eight squads, six squads are responsible for besieging the floor bosses, and the remaining two squads are responsible for containing two elite monsters.

It is a very orthodox strategy mode, and it is also the most common way for players to fight in the Closed Beta period.

And as Yuki expected, Diaberu arranged for their team to be one of the two teams that went to contain the monsters.

That's good, at least for Lanzi and the others, there is a process of adaptation.

……

The battle has been going smoothly, and most of the players here are the top players on the front line, so although it is the first time to cooperate, everyone has completed their own tasks.

Besides, this raider also added that bug-like man.

Even if he doesn't use the 'Unique Skill' of the Holy Sword now, Heathcliff has demonstrated his unusually strong defense.

Even if he is paralyzed by the boss, he can stand firmly at the front of the group.

And as time passed, the boss's HP gradually reached the red zone.

(—right now!) ）

In the squad around the boss, Diaberu's figure suddenly rushed out of the formation, and then, Kirito's face changed slightly, and he rushed forward without explanation.

Glancing at each other, both of them clearly knew what each other's purpose was.

Grab control of the final blow.
