Asuna did something with Zairan's hand. If you have Nerve Gear, you can enter this world and meet Zaran, so if you manage to bring Asuna's mother into this world and meet Zaran, things will go well. I think

"NERVE Gear is no longer for sale, so there's no way to enter this world. And as long as Lilan is like this, won't it be difficult for him to listen to me? Asuna's mom said because I lost Asuna through this world because I wanted to improve my reputation. ”

Shino's "yes" leaned heavily on the chair.

"But I'm absolutely going to stop Asuna's mother." As far as Asuna's story is concerned, the day will come when Asuna's mother will also be heartbroken.

"But you've deceived the world, okay, it may be a false world, but you should be able to feel the world."

Asuna nodded and placed her hand on Lilan's back.

"That's right, walking on the twenty-second floor with you today, the world is so bright, and your heart is so rich."

Asuna's face turned from Lilan to me.

"It turns out that you live in this world with Lilan, Kirito-kun."

It's true that when I started playing this game, I thought the world was nothing more than a pile of data, but after facing death and meeting and getting along with Lilan, the world changed. It's another reality, and I realize that the inhabitants of this world, including us players, live in this world safely.

"Well, Asuna was right. The world is, of course, a game, and everything around it is nothing more than a lot of data. “

"But the creators say this game is a game, not just a game."

"That's right. So if you die here, you will die in real life, and if Rylun dies, there won't be a guy like Ryru. I don't feel pain or injury, but I'm tired, and I cook it this way, so you can feel the taste while eating

Shino nodded.

"It's the same as being alive, so to speak.

Asuna stroked Lilan's back with a sad expression, as if remembering how she had ignored the existence of this world.

"I'm always thinking about myself and working on strategy. Shino"

No, Asuna is called Catching Demons because she does it like a demon instructor, and Asuna is called Flash Asuna because Asuna's swordsmanship is amazing. There is no sense of sarcasm or contempt.

However, Shining Asuna, who was only thinking about herself and wanted to advance the strategy, had just been killed by Lilan's scorching beam and was nowhere to be found.

"However, Asuna Glitter is dead. What does Asuna want to do now? “

Asuna's face turned to the window, which was dyed red by the setting sun.

"After all, I can't stay in this world forever, so I'll continue to conquer it. I want everyone in the Knights of Blood Oath to feel the world more. ”

The sharp light in Asuna's eyes vanished, replaced by a calm, soft glow. The tone also felt a little softer. Asuna is no longer a captive demon.

Shino looked at Asuna with a wry smile.

"However, if Asuna, who was still a captive demon just a moment ago, suddenly calms down and comes back, the knights of the Knights of the Blood Oath will be surprised and confused."

"No, it's okay to be confused. The Knights of the Blood Oath are a strong presence in the Conquest Order, but on the contrary, they are a little too loose and the atmosphere is not very good. Asuna, bring this vibe. Then the Knights of the Blood Oath should be as cheerful as Asuna. “

Asuna said with a suddenly embarrassed expression.

"I will do everything I can to improve the atmosphere of the Knights of the Blood Oath."

"At that time, I remembered the previous story about the replay." I see, this is a request for the formation of Noni Land. In order to relieve Asuna's anxiety, Lilan left me and stayed with Asuna for the time being.

"Indeed, Asuna's current state of mind has changed dramatically, and she must have given birth to a new sense of unease." As a result, Lilan, who had changed Asuna's mind dramatically, appeared by his side and was treated.

"You want me to lend you Lilan, right? I've heard about it from Lilan, so let me know if you want Asuna. I'll lend you about a day's worth of Lilan. “

"Eh, Lilan, are you talking to Kirito-kun?"

Lilan nodded.

"Ahh I told Kirito and Shino while they were sleeping against me, and I had got Kirito's consent. If you need me, I'll come to you. ”

Asuna nodded, then turned her gaze back to me.

"But what about Kirito-kun? When Lilan is away, Kirito-kun's combat power will drop significantly."

Just as I was about to tell Asuna Noni Randy about it, Shino interrupted me.

"When Lilan went to you, Kirito decided to pause the attack. If Asuna wants Kirito to get a good rest, give him Noriland Day once a week. “

Asuna looked a little surprised, and told me.

"Then again, Kirito-kun didn't belong to the guild before, right? I often hear the success stories of Kirito-kun, but Kirito-kun has a good rest. If I keep doing this, I sometimes have symptoms like dizziness. ”

"I can't help but say I'm nervous." After meeting Lilan and Shino, that feeling disappeared, but when I wanted to escalate alone, I often experienced dizziness. Is it because you haven't rested well or not enough?

Shino saw that I was caught off guard and sighed softly.

"Kirito, you're almost desperate to take it, aren't you?"

"Ahaha, you're right"

Shino looked a little angry.

"Kirito, take a break during Noriranday. You are the hope of those around you, so definitely avoid dizziness and falls in battle. Or rather, if this happens in battle, you will die. I think so. “

It's easy to imagine the moment when you're caught by an enemy and you get dizzy and can't move. I definitely don't want to die like this.

"I see. Rest, rest well. ”

Shino turned her back to me, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly.

"Keep your word.

I didn't hear the last part, so I tilted my head and asked again.

"What?"

"I'll give you a break. You don't get enough rest. ”

With that, Shino turned and left. It feels obviously different, but it seems that he won't say anything if asked, so it's okay.

"Well, the makers of this game said such a big thing, 'It's a game, it's not a game'"

Asuna looked at Shino blankly.

"Well, Shino must have heard of it. When the developer told us about the City of Origins game, he said."

Shino tilted her head.

"Uh, I haven't heard of it, but"

"By the way, Asuna didn't know that Shiina used Medicuboid to get here." So Shino doesn't know much about this game and doesn't know much about what's going on in this game.

"Actually, Shino wasn't in this world from the beginning, so it seems to have come in halfway. It seems to be more expensive than I thought, so I think it's okay to add him to the captive group. “

"Really!?"

"It's rude to say that, actually, but we've heard Asuna's story, so this is your partner. Moreover, my memory is gone. “

"K, my memories are flying?"

"yes. Maybe it's because I came to this world, I don't know why, but I can't remember the most important thing, and I want to remember it as soon as possible. ”

Asuna's face turned sad.

"yes, I don't know, I'm a raider"

"So you don't have to blame yourself so much. Anyway, Shina's combat potential is still quite high, and compared to other players around her, I plan to let her participate in tomorrow's boss battle. Shino himself is also very enthusiastic. ”

Asuna turned to face Shino.

"Are you sure you're okay? Boss fights are more dangerous than you think. ”

Shino chuckled softly.

"If you're afraid of danger, you can't storm this castle. I'm not going to run away from tomorrow's boss battle, so please take care of me. “

"But it's the first time Shi Nai has beaten the boss, so it's better for someone to follow suit."

"So I can be between the two of you."

Tell.

"That's where Lilan and I come in. Lilan and I will fight with Shiina, so there will be no problem. Asuna, think of Asuna when you fight. “

After a low "um", Asuna lowered her head and finally looked up.

"I see, that's how it is. I understand. Good luck with tomorrow's boss fight. “

With that, Asuna stood up and turned her face out the window.

"Well, then, it's time for me to go home. This time, please ask Kirito and Shino to come to my house. “

Then Shino and I stood up.

"Okay, I'll go next time."

Then, Asuna quietly approached me and whispered in my ear.

"Although it was Ray Ruan who told me a lot of things, Kirito-kun, thank you for always calling me out to this world."

After my eyes widened involuntarily, Asuna immediately left me. I looked back in surprise to see that Asuna was no longer in the cabin. I muttered quietly in the cabin, which had resumed its usual composition.

"Are you leaving, I just wanted to talk to you more."

Shino continued to mumble to herself as she looked out of the way.

"But it doesn't matter. Asuna can change back to her original form. I don't think she's going to do anything to you anymore. “

At the time, I felt very uncomfortable with Shino's tone. Maybe Shino is an emotional girl, and her tone changes when she gets angry, angry, sad, and laughs. - Shino's tone now is very similar to when she was angry.

"Shino, are you angry?"

Shino shook her head.

"I'm not angry. I'm not angry. There's no reason to be angry with Asuna."

There was obvious anger in his voice. But when asked, he didn't seem to answer anything, and I stopped delving into Shino. But what is Shino angry about?
