The wine left behind by Ye Yu is not only intoxicating in taste, but also easy to get drunk if you taste this wine as a human being...... Even if the body has been strengthened by the game system, the girls still can't help but feel a little dizzy after two glasses of wine. ☆△◇ ☆ □ tomato ''.

However, on such a snowy night, the value of fine wine is not only to satisfy the appetite, but the warm feeling that emanates from the inside of the body after a few drinks is used to dispel the chill around you to a large extent, and with the barbecue and campfire, it seems that the night is no longer sad.

"Why don't we just wait until dawn~~" Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Kana suddenly proposed, looking up at the starry sky, although his head was a little heavy by alcohol, the thoughts in his head did not become stagnant at all, on the contrary, with the strength of wine, the words that he usually wanted to say but didn't know how to say could be easily said at the moment.

"It's dawn...... According to the current season, it will take at least 8 or 9 hours. ○ ◇Tomato □ Say Net '--.-f'q-x's--.'com" looked down at the time that came with the system, and then Asuna estimated it in her heart for a moment and said, although it was not explicitly said that the meaning of the words could be hidden, it still made it clear that the girl was not willing to wait like this, to be honest, the weather was really a little cold, and staying up late in such a situation was like torture.

"What's so bad about it~~" I didn't expect that as soon as Asuna finished speaking, Tsubasa retorted. As soon as the girl, who rarely expressed her opinion clearly, opened her mouth, the eyes of the three people present were immediately attracted by her, and Tsubasa only smiled at this situation and continued, "After all, I'm afraid it's hard to see a night sky like this in the future......"

Tsubasaki's tone was inexplicably filled with some indescribable melancholy, but what was even more surprising was that her mood at the moment could not be called sorrow at all, compared to ...... Maybe it's more appropriate to call it that faint nostalgia, but her hometown......

"The night sky or something...... Kiriko wanted to say something to break the somewhat eerie atmosphere, but as she and Tsubasa raised their heads high, Kiriko suddenly found herself unable to say anything under the deep starry sky......

"There are two things in the world that shake our hearts: one is the moral standard that we hold in our hearts; The other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads......" The famous sentence from Kant that Tsubasa recited softly came to my ears, and the famous sentence that she had been ignoring seemed to be able to appreciate the meaning contained in it at this moment. △◇ △ Tomato □ ---.'

At the moment when her mind was all attracted by the starry sky, Kiriko suddenly felt that she was very lucky, and it was not a waste of time to be able to see such a beautiful scenery in her life, obviously she had been in this world for so many years, but why had she never been so addicted to a certain scenery as she is now? This question puzzled the girl, who was no stranger to either the night sky or the stars, and that this was only one of the famous beauties of Ein Grande. ☆ Tomato Novels ---.'f'q-x-s'-.-c-om

"Maybe it's because I've been immersed in fighting and killing before......" After thinking about it for a while, Kiriko finally only got such an ambiguous explanation. But this statement is actually the most appropriate, after all, when you feel depressed, even if you are in a fairyland on earth, it is difficult to taste the slightest beauty, isn't it?

And now the words...... If everything goes well, in a week, I will be able to return to reality and return to a peaceful world where my life will no longer be threatened, so that I will not have to carry the burden that has been on my mind for six years.

But at the same time, it also means that he will say goodbye to Ein Grant, and I am afraid that he will never have a chance to come back in the future...... Thinking of this inexplicable bitter taste that suddenly spread from her mouth to the bottom of her heart, Kiriko immediately understood where the sorrow of Tsubasa just now came from.

Kiriko turned her head to look at her companion, Tsubasa and Kana just sat quietly and occasionally took a sip of the wine in their glasses, while Asuna happened to look back at Kiriko at the same moment, and they both saw an emotion called sighing in each other's eyes...... Yes, compared to those two, I did realize a little late. 番☆ eggplant novel network '.

Allowing to complain, allowing dissatisfaction to recall that the game has been played from the very beginning to the present is not a good thing for every player...... Romantic statements like fighting hard to become heroes in such a game don't seem to have existed since the beginning, and everyone is just trying to live.

However, if there is only this sad and painful past in the past six years? That's not true...... Just like the starry sky unfolding in front of several people's eyes at this time, there are still many things worth remembering and nostalgic for.

Looking back, in addition to the pain suffered during the battle and the grief after the departure of his comrades, the food he tasted, the scenery he met, and the companions who have traveled together to the present are all precious memories.

It's just that the past has become a memory, and the present is about to become a thing of the past, what will happen to them in the future when they are about to leave SAO...... Kiriko didn't know. The only thing that is certain is that under the beautification of memories, even what I once hated will become a chuckle hanging on my lips in the future, so that thinking about the future does not seem so difficult to grasp.

It was only at this time that Kiriko finally understood why Tsubasa had such a helpless expression when he mentioned Ye Yu when he left the 100th floor before, that guy's so-called exam was actually like what he had done countless times before...... It's just a façade.

The only thing he wants to do is to let the players use the last week to leave their last memories in this world full of memories, and use the exam papers as an introduction to evoke the hidden thoughts of every player...... It's too clever, but it's also really bad.

Just like these people now, aren't they just being led to watch the sunrise...... And I believe that there are far more than the four of them who will do this.

"Now, we've been together for so many years...... But back to reality, how do we connect? The moon travels above the middle sky, and the most intuitive experience is that the moon is getting bigger and bigger in the eyes of Kiriko, and this also means that it is now late at night, and it seems that she finally can't bear the silence Kiriko She asked.

"Our words ......" Kana glanced at Tsubasa before inevitably revealing a wry smile...... If I remember correctly, their bodies are still parked in the Shouya Shrine, but Kiriko and Asuna can't find that place, and if they see Ye Yu again in reality...... God knows what it will be like.

"I'd better go find you, don't forget that I was a martial detective before, and I'm still very good at finding people." Kana thought about it and decided that it would be more convenient to go to them on her own, and the other girls quickly accepted it.

"Then it's decided, if we'll see you in reality...... How about I invite you to eat ramen in my hometown, and although the food here is delicious, I want to eat a little ramen once in a while, right? ”

"Is it only ramen? Kiriko, you're so stingy......"

"There's no way, I'm just a minor who lives on pocket money......" Kiriko scratched her head a little embarrassed when Asuna accused her like this.

"That'...... I'm going to add an extra serving of barbecued pork. "I'm going to add eggs!" "I'm going to have barbecued pork too!"

"Yes...... is it" Looking at this group of unceremonious friends, Kiriko finally showed a helpless smile, but ...... It's really reassuring...... (To be continued.) )
