It will be early in the morning.

The strong light shining from the sky made Xia Qianshi, who had not felt the real sunshine for two years, squint slightly.

In front of you is an apartment building that is very common in Japan.

No, it's a bit too exaggerated to say that it's common, but to be precise, it's probably more dilapidated than most apartment buildings.

The bare yards, mottled facades, balustrades and apartment gates have just been painted and look new.

There is no dreamlike beauty in the game world, only the rich breath of life.

- This is my home in reality.

After getting used to the slight dizziness caused by the transition between the two worlds, Xia Qianshi opened his slightly squinted eyes and took out his mobile phone.

March 1, 20XX, 9:08.

It's been exactly a week since I left Earth.

The real world is out of sync with the time of other planes, this is something that Xia Qianshi has known for a long time.

He had only survived the Ultraman world for less than a day, but a week had passed since he returned to the real world.

It seems that this time is constant.

That's fine, after all, a week isn't too long, so you don't have to worry about missing too many things.

Digging into his pockets again, Xia Qianshi took out the key to the door.

But when he pointed the key at the keyhole, he stopped.

He fixed his gaze on the lock of the door.

The entire apartment is surrounded by walls on all sides, except for the doors and locks in each house inside.

On the wall facing the street, a pitch-black iron gate was also placed.

The iron door is hollow in size, but it has spikes at the top to prevent thieves from entering it to a certain extent.

The lock of the iron door is the kind that is inserted into it with a long iron rod.

It's old-fashioned, but it's also reliable, and unless you're a repeat offender who knows how to pick locks, at least it's impossible to be violently unlocked.

However, Xia Qianshi now wants to give it a try and use violence to unlock this lock.

- Use your newfound abilities.

At this time, there are no other fantasy creatures around, which means that Xia Qianshi does not have the special power of being the guardian of the earth now.

But if it's an ability from another world, he can use it.

Glancing around, Xia Qianshi locked on a large piece of scrap iron that was resting not far away.

He held the scrap metal in his hand and concentrated slightly.

Then, the unthinkable happened.

"Buzz ————"

After a slight trembling, about a square meter of iron melted like spring snow, and then quickly reassembled.

In less than three seconds, the scrap iron that was very ugly before turned into an incomparably magnificent long sword in Xia Qianshi's hands.

- The shape and appearance are exactly the same as the Sakurabuki Yuki he used in SAO.

This is the ability that Xia Qianshi obtained in SAO, called 'Sword'.

Since it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, Xia Qianshi also knew nothing about the reason for obtaining this ability.

But when you think about it, there are two reasons.

The first is to clear the plane - that is, to eliminate the 'evil' in the plane.

The second is his identity as a guardian, which is recognized by the main members of the plane.

Xia Qianshi guessed that not only in the world of SAO, but also in other worlds, as long as he met these conditions, he could also obtain the corresponding special abilities.

These abilities are not the power of the Earth Guardian, so he can use them in other planes as well.

This ability is like the embodiment of a dimensional image, such as SAO, a brilliant world made of knives and swords.

Then he gained the ability of the 'sword'.

There are two types of 'sword' abilities:

The first is to turn any substance into a sword and sword of the same material.

As for the second ......

Xia Qianshi came to the iron gate with Sakura Blowing Snow in his hand and aimed the blade of his sword at the lock.

Although Sakurabuki has the extreme sharpness of an iron weapon, with the physical fitness of Xia Qianshi's current ordinary people, it is absolutely impossible to cut through steel in theory.

But—

Xia Qianshi's pair of pupils turned into sword eyes, and Sakura Blowing Snow waved down fiercely!

"Whew-"

With a faint sound that was almost inaudible, the steel-cast locks were sliced open, and the fractures were as smooth as mirrors.

This is the second type of 'sword' ability - slashing.

He can cut off everything he can know.,That's how he used this ability to cut off Yui's 'evil' in the first place.。

It's a very powerful ability, but it's also quite restrictive.

The first is the thing that is cut off, within the scope of his own cognition, for example, he can cut steel, but if it is replaced by high-tech alloy metal, it is difficult for him to cut it, but if he understands the composition of alloy metal, he can cut it off - in short, knowledge is power.

The second is to be able to slash, even if this is an ability that is close to killing with one hit, but if you can't touch the opponent, you naturally can't kill it.

The third is that this ability is very physically demanding, and it cannot be used many times until the physical fitness is improved.

However, although the restrictions are very large, at least if you go to other planes, you will have a certain amount of combat power.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Xia Qianshi's heart suddenly moved, and a feeling of being watched rose in his heart for no reason.

Suddenly raised his head, and his extremely sharp gaze followed the feeling to look over, only to see that in a room on the second floor, a figure flashed away, and at the same time there was a low cry of pain.

That's—the room I live in!

Thief?

If yes, that's all it would be like.

The corners of Xia Qianshi's mouth raised slightly, just because he was short of money, it was not bad to have a black and black game.

With an unhurried pace, Xia Qianshi walked towards his room.

He was not afraid that the thief in the room would be a master, even if he didn't have the ability of a 'sword', with his combat experience and psychological quality after fighting in SAO for two years, ordinary people were no longer his opponents.

When he came to the door, this time he did not break down the door violently, but took out the key and inserted it into the lock hole.

"Gaga...... Squeak......"

The old wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the imaginary sneak attack did not come, but there was indeed a person in the room.

- It was a girl.

If she's a thief, it's a little too cute.

This is a super cute girl that can only be produced in the two-dimensional world...... Looking at her skin, looking at her facial features, there is no place that is not beautiful and makes people palpitate, and the skin that exudes a round halo is like a porcelain doll in a cupboard.

At this point, she really sat on a cushion like a doll, with her hands on her knees, sitting there in a very standard posture.

The brown eyes looked at Xia Qianshi with some pity and fear, and then, squirming his crystal-thin cherry lips, slowly spoke:

"Brother."

In that moment, Xia Qianshi, who felt that the whole world had become empty because of leaving SAO and Asuna, suddenly felt that the world was alive.

————————

At the beginning of a new volume, I would like to ask for your continued support.

In addition, there will be a follow-up to the sword, and there is no need to worry about Asuna being imprisoned, let alone a green hat, even if it is the lowest level of molester women, it will not appear in the book of cabbage.
