After saying that, Shino woke up immediately, and we regretted what we had done. Paddy field. After playing until the evening, everyone finally decided to go to the same inn for dinner and spend the night.

◇◇◇

The beach is silent at night, as if the crowds during the day are lies. No, not completely silent, but there were no sounds of seabirds, no human voices, only the calm sound of the waves.

A large pale moon floats in the sky, illuminating the beach in a different color from the sun.

As for me, I felt that the beach at night was cooler and lighter in color than the hot beach that I spent with everyone during the day, so I stepped on the slightly cool sand.

"Somehow, I feel like I've come to a different level."

"Do you think so too?"

He turned his attention to his wife, who was walking beside him. It was my wife Shiina in the game who suggested that we go for a walk on the beach at night like this.

After that game, while everyone was eating, Shino asked me to go for a walk with her to the beach while everyone was asleep.

It was so sudden that I couldn't help but tilt my head, but after thinking about it, I realized that recently, coupled with the fact that I have been concentrating on capturing, I have formed a party with other friends, and I only spend time with Shino. I didn't have much to do, and I remember about the time I wanted to spend with Shino.

"This is what the poem asks for itself, so it can't be just right. I muttered to myself, swallowed the request, and agreed.

However, at the same time, thinking that Asuna and Lizbet might disturb me in the middle of the night, we all jumped into our respective beds and fell into a deep sleep.

What's more, I was surprised to find that even Lilan, who usually stays up late, was among them, and I immediately knew that I was asleep.

Asuna, Yui, Jupiter, Lifa, Araki, Lizzet, Sirika, Filia, Streya, Alice, Lilan - in order not to wake up everyone except Shino and me, we quietly left the hotel and walked out. Walk through the port town, lit in a pale orange by street lights, to the beach where I've been playing all day.

By the way, when I thought I was asleep, in fact everyone woke up, and as we walked, they quietly chased after me, and I walked to the beach, pretending to have developed solidly, and wanted to take a look at an important scene, at which point I used my enemy-searching skills, but all the reactions came from the inn, and I found that everyone had completely fainted.

"Even so, I didn't expect everyone to fall asleep like this."

Shino seemed to remember everyone's situation and laughed softly.

\"I didn't expect Teacher Alice to fall asleep like this. It's the first time I've ever met a teacher like this. \"

Subsequently, Alice also jumped into the sea and swam with Jupiter and Yui's children, who seemed to be having fun in a way I had never seen before.

She said that although she had already developed a child, she was too busy developing and coordinating other programs to have time to play with the two caring children, Jupiter and Yui, and said that Strea was really just a creation and that he couldn't even tell about his existence until he logged here.

Alice, a developer and mother, must be very happy to be able to play with Jupiter, Yui and Strea like her own children. So I just fell asleep.

\"Shiina, aren't you tired? Played so much. \"

\"I haven't played enough, I'm exhausted. Even if it's swimming, it doesn't take much distance and time. Kirito like that will do. \"

"I'm fine too.

"That's right. Input into strategy is useful. ”

"I feel the same way." Maybe it's because I've been working on my own until now, so I don't feel tired at all. I only use my brain, so honestly I don't know?? Is my brain already developed, or is it just that my brain is used to exercising.

"Well, my princess Yuichi, how far can you go?"

"Yes.

"I see, let's go there."

Speaking of this, Shino gently held my hand, and I immediately felt her warmth.

Shino was really embarrassed to do such a thing in front of everyone, but when there were only two of them, she took the initiative to hold hands.

\"It's Shino when we're together, and it's Shino when it's just the two of them. "When we first met and started living together, I thought the difference was a bit weird, but now I'm starting to think that part of it is very cute.

"So, let's go, Kirito. \"

"Ahh

He took Shino's hand tightly as smooth as marble but with mysterious softness and warmth, and began to walk along the silver sand.

No matter how far you go, you can't hear the human voices, not even the seabirds, only the ripples of the small waves reach your ears.

Shino likes a quiet place full of natural sounds, and when you play during the day, you will definitely imagine the beach at night and want to walk on it.

"It's a very nice place. I wonder why everyone doesn't want to use it.

I immediately mobilized my search skills and searched the surrounding players, but sure enough, the response came from the city, not the beach.

That port town is actually quite large, perhaps because it was built on a hill, so there are attractions. I'm sure other couples are having a great time in the city as well.

- However, since we chose such a quiet beach, we looked like a strange couple from the outside.

"People prefer to live in the city, and it seems that there are many places where couples can enjoy themselves."

"Okay, but I still prefer this. I'm not good at being noisy. You know that, right? ”

"I know. Well, maybe it's because I've always been alone, but I feel more comfortable in a place like this. Actually, before I met you and Lilan, I was very active in going to places like this. ”

"yes, even so, it's a good place, it should be the same as the twenty-second floor, but it feels like you've come to a completely different world."

"It reminds me." Take the sea as an example.,There are no offensive monsters on this floor.,Unless we go to the near sea.,And the site we're in only has non-aggressive small animal monsters.,The same setting as the 22nd floor.,You won't encounter monsters.。。

The 80th floor consists of many leisure attractions such as white sand beaches, warm sunshine, mountains, oceans, and streams.

However, while the difficulty should increase gradually from the 75th floor, it is a little unnatural to reach such a layer, and there is a strange sense of incongruity.

Yes, it's as if this layer was originally a place where there were many aquatic monsters and mountain monsters, but it disappeared without a trace along with the AI and Lipop system, and became a completely safe layer. ... I wonder if this is really a layer that only exists to heal players.

"Rito, hey Kirito. \"

Shino's words brought me back to my senses. Sorry, I did it again. I also entered the world of ideas and did things that made me unable to see clearly in front of me and around me.

Shiina, on the other hand, glared at me with displeasure.

\"Ji Litu\"

"I'm sorry, I did it again."

"I'm not attacking now, I don't have any strange thoughts."

"I'm sorry.

"I'm totally a strategy battle freak from scratch."

"I'm dating Shino right now. I put my hands on my chest, took a deep breath, and told myself to stop thinking nonsense.

I don't know if it's because the strategy is too harsh, I suddenly fell into such thoughts.

"No, it was from the very beginning of the game! \"

(No, no...) ）

I almost fell into deep thought again and shook my head.

"Don't think about it anymore." This is not a good thing for a husband who spends time with his wife without getting wet.

"Uh, uh, ah."

I took Shino's hand and ran briskly over and crouched down again. Shiina's voice seemed to be a little angry because she had suddenly done something.

"What's wrong, Kirito? \"

I didn't answer Shino's words and quietly picked up the items that had fallen on the beach. It was a small shell, almost like white gold in color. Yes, this is a specialty that anyone who goes to the beach will experience at least once.

"Ah, the shells"

"Oh. I looked down and there it was. ”

I stood up gently and placed the shell on Shino's empty hand, Shino's eyes lit up. Surprisingly, she did not show much interest in jewelry and accessories, but showed a keen interest in such natural objects.

"Well, it's not that I'm completely uninterested in jewelry, so my tastes aren't out of sync with everyone else."

"Pretty shells, I think Yui will be happy if I bring them home."

\"Ahh Yui was busy playing during the day, so she didn't expect to pick up such a thing. Tomorrow I have a holiday, so tomorrow I will go for a walk at the beach with Yui and Lilan. I'm sure it will. "Become beautiful. You will find a lot of things. ”

Shino nodded, silently turning the shells into items and putting them in the locker.

"Yes, but I'm going to enjoy spending time alone with you tonight. Or rather, I want to do it. ”

"That's right. Now, let's dig a little deeper. ”

After confirming Shino's gentle smile, I started moving forward again.

Calm and beautiful sandy beach with only the sound of the waves. I think there are places like this in the real world, but I've never seen a completely man-made, completely quiet beach.

If that's the case, then it's like an uninhabited island. At least in Japan, it seems hard to find.

"It's amazing that this kind of thing is reproduced in SAo. \"

Thing. It is possible to reproduce not only the unreal world, but also scenes that are difficult to reproduce in the real world.

I feel like I've come to realize once again that this is the best thing about Full dive VRmmo.

\"Hey Kirito\"

"Yes?"

"How are you feeling right now?"

"How do you feel, I'm glad to be able to walk in a place like this with you, I want to know."

"I feel the same way. But "

I turned around and faced the face of my beloved wife. She usually behaves like an adult, and her face has a kind of rice field that reminds me of an adult.

"Even in the real world, I want to walk through places like this with you."

"Ugh"

"She whispered to me when the waves sounded."

"It's such a blessing to be able to walk with Ms. Alice, Ms. Alice, in a place like this. To be honest, Alice-sensei is someone I can trust. \"

Shiina, who knew Alice before she knew me, would have spent more time with you if you were to compare me to Alice.

Maybe that's not a good thing to say, but for Shino, when she was in the real world, she relied on Alice a lot.

Because of her past, Shino is forced to live a life that no one loves, but Alice is the one who Yui has always lent a helping hand to Shino and loves her.

Shino can only rely on such Alice.

"Of course, in reality, the person you can trust is Miss Alice. \"

\"Yes, it does. I could only trust Teacher Alice before. But now I can trust you, Yui, Lilan, and Asuna. Among them, I trust you the most. So when I come back to reality, I want to walk through this quiet place with you again, I want to spend some time with you, maybe once we leave this world, we can't see each other again, but that's me, I don't like that. ”

Shiina's thoughts are almost the same as mine.

Before I came into this world and met Shino, I didn't want to be with anyone or spend time with anyone, so instead of doing it, I would rather lock myself in my room. I guess that's fine. Preferably connected to the internet.

However, now back to reality, I want to meet Shino, I want to be with Shino, I want to go to various places with Shino, and I want to do all kinds of things with Shino. In fact, spending time alone with Shino like this makes me happy, and I can see that my heart is very active.

"That's what I thought, Shino. Even if I come back to reality, I still want to be with you. When the time comes, I'll go to you. \"

"I also want to find you when I can safely return to reality. And I want to find you. I won't admit that once I leave this world, I'll never see you again. ”

"Ahh

Shino just nodded and didn't say anything. Still, he had a gentle smile on his face, so I knew he understood me correctly.

When I looked around, we saw that we had walked into a bay with large rocky areas and hills. When I turned my gaze to the rear, the city seemed to be a microcosm in size.

I was chatting and walking, and before I knew it, I came to a place far away from the city. Even so, there are no monsters here, and if they appear, we can solve them immediately, so it's okay.

"Looks like you've come a long way."

"Ah, such a beautiful place, I'll just walk around, what should I do, go back?"

"Hmm..."

Probably not wanting to go back yet, just as Shino made a small sound, there was a dull loud noise above, and I couldn't help but look up at the sky in surprise.

The night sky was vast, the stars were twinkling, like scattered gold dust, and thick black clouds were spreading, and there was a shimmering white inside.

What's more, the black cloud appears to be large, covering the entire area, extending beyond the surface of the sea into the city. Immediately afterward, a dull thunderclap was heard, and a cold wind blew through our bodies.

"Liar, it's so cloudy and so sunny just now."

Not long ago, it was a vast night sky, and the stars twinkled like scattered gold dust, but thick black clouds were spreading, and white light flashed inside.

What's more, this black cloud seems to be very large, covering the entire area, from the other side of the sea all the way to the city, it is covered in dense black clouds. Immediately afterward, a dull thunderclap was heard, and a cold wind blew through our bodies.

"Liar, it's so cloudy and so sunny just now."

"I'm sure this layer was set up so that the weather could easily change at night. It's terrible, it's going to rain. ”

"Those dark clouds are definitely going to bring a lot of rain." When I came to this beach, all my tools were left behind, except for weapons. I don't have an umbrella to protect me from the elements, and weapons can't protect me from the elements.

"Although I do have teleportation crystals, it is too wasteful to use them, because teleportation crystals are not available quickly."

Even if it rained, there was nothing I could do to stop it, so I had to hurry back to the city. Thinking about it, I felt like a big drop of water hit the roof. My head, my hair is getting cold.

When I involuntarily let out an "ah" and looked up, the dark clouds that covered the sky began to cry. There was a roar, the water poured down like a waterfall, and in the blink of an eye, we were soaked from head to toe.

What's more, the power of this rain is really like the flow of water. On top of that, the rain was so loud that it was almost impossible to hear anything else.

"Wow wow wow wow is this a guerrilla downpour?!"

"Wow, it's raining! I can't hear the waves anymore! ”

"Anyway, a place that can withstand the rain—ah!"

As I resisted the rain hitting my face and looked around, I noticed that there was a cave in the mountain wall. It was a lot taller than us and still very spacious. If you're over there, you should be able to escape the rain.

"Over there! Let's go over there! ”

"I got it!"

I grabbed Shino's hand tightly and started running, jumping into the cave in the mountain wall.

This cave has a narrow entrance and a spacious interior, much larger than I expected.

"Maybe it's because the entrance is a bit narrow, but the rain doesn't come all the way." The sound of rain can be heard, and the sound is somewhat soft.

A seaside cave that looks like something out of a movie. I put the lantern at hand in the center and turned on the light.

As the light crept through the cave, I saw Shino soaking wet from head to toe, and Shiina's eyes saw me too.

"That being said, it rained heavily and the whole body was flooded, this."

"yes, I look like I've just finished swimming with my clothes on, and I'm soaking wet from my clothes to my underwear.

Shino sneezed and hugged her wet body. It must be wet and cold. In fact, the temperature under black clouds tends to be a lot cooler than elsewhere, but it seems that this is also reproduced in this game.

"Are you cold?"

"yes, it's a little cold. I want to know what's going on."

I suddenly remembered and checked the storage for my belongings. The beach at night tends to be colder than I thought, so I prepared cold gear to keep you out.

The black "Sleeper Agent" coat worn before joining the Blood Pact Knights, and the "White Knight Jacket" worn during combat after joining the Blood Pact Knights.

These coats are stored in the contents storage room, so they are not wet. And when I tried to use the enemy search skill in that state, the only one who reacted was Shino.

"Shino, it's just us on the beach now. There is no one here. \"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Wearing wet clothes can be bad for your health. You should remove all wet clothing. I will do the same. ”

Shiina's face turned a little red.

"Uh, I left everything but this dress. And my underwear was also wet and I had to take it off. ”

"I'll lend you this."

As I spoke, I took out a white coat and a black coat and handed them to Shino. Shino looked a little surprised.

"This is the coat you used to attack, and the coat you used before"

"It's made to be huge, so it completely covers your body, and it's warm. So, please wear it until your clothes are dry. ”

Shiina, staring at the two coats alternately, then pointed to the black coat in my right hand.

"Black is better"

"Is it black? That"

After quietly handing the coat to Shino, Shino put it on, closed the front door, and operated the window. It didn't look like anything had changed, but she had put all her wet clothes in the locker and was left with only one coat left. Immediately after that, I put on my lab coat, closed the front, and put all the equipment on my body into the inventory.

When I sat down in a cross-legged position, Shino gently walked over and sat next to me in a gym sitting position.

"A rain will wet your underwear in an instant, and it seems that your clothes will take a long time to dry."

"Yes. And I don't think this rain will stop anytime soon. It could be another hour or so. ”

"I have mixed feelings." Shiina, I walked on the beach like this, and I didn't expect it to rain when we went on a so-called date, and we would have a good time in the cave wearing only our coats. This. No, it is unreasonable to assume such a situation.

"Sorry. I couldn't go home for a while. Is Shino okay? Isn't it cold? \"

"It's fine, it's not cold at all."

"Really?"

Shino smiled and pressed her nose closer to the hem of her coat.

\"yes. I'm sure it's a coat that Kirito has been wearing for a long time. It has the smell of Kirito and is very warm. \"

"My Smell"

In this game, odors on clothes are basically removed by storing them in item storage, so there shouldn't be any odors left.

However, that coat "Under Agents" was something I had been wearing before joining the Knights of the Blood Oath, so I don't know if it had anything to do with me. On the other hand, the white coat of the "White Knight Jacket" I used had no smell at all.

"This one doesn't smell good."

"Maybe it's because you're just getting started."

"Maybe so"

After chatting for a while about such trivial matters, Shino suddenly fell silent.

When I spoke to him, he didn't answer, and I wondered what was wrong, and turned my face away, to find that Shino kept looking at me and looked away. Maybe it's because of the warm color of the light, I feel like my face is a little red.

\"What's wrong, Shino? \"

Shiina, taking her eyes off me completely, closed her mouth but she immediately opened it.

\"Hey, Kirito, do you remember? \"

"What do you remember?"

"You see, the day our relationship began, or rather, the day I first told you everything."

Hearing this, I finally remembered the day I heard about Shino.

It was raining so hard that day, even though both of them were soaking wet, they didn't care, no, talking too much, not bothering them, they accepted each other.

Seeing such a heavy rain, I really remembered the rain that day, and I also remembered Shino that day. I don't know why I didn't remember until this moment, even though I was also rained.

"yes, it must have been raining that day."

"Yes.

I looked up slightly. The moment when I heard Shino's story in the rain came to mind.

"I remember it very well. On the day I heard about Shino, all three of us were soaking wet, and I was really surprised. Shino suddenly vanished. Treasure \"

"yes, I was really surprised that I left suddenly and was attacked by a monster but you rushed there, I thought you would come and save me, because no."

"I was really desperate at the time, I always thought I didn't want you to die.

Shino snuggled quietly beside me. Shiina's warmth spreads throughout the body.

"I'm really glad you helped me at the time, I don't think I would have been able to live so happily without you, and I wouldn't have been able to open my heart. I think that since I came into this world, I have been saved by you"

\"I'm not Yuichi's person. Lilan and Asuna help you, so it's like you're able to escape the cold world. It's our turn. I just helped a little. \"

Shino smiled lightly.

"But I am where I am today because of your help. Seeing such rain reminds me of that time and it warms my heart. ”

Not long ago, the rain was just cold, but once it rained heavily, it reminded me of the day I received Shino.

Even though my body is cold, remembering this warms my heart. I seem to understand the feelings of Shino standing next to me now.

Immediately after, Shino spoke again.

"Hey, Kirito. Are you talking about daytime? \"

"Talking during the day?"

Shino nodded quietly.

"Look, who has the best swimsuit and I have the best? Is it true? ”

When I heard this, I just felt my face hot. Of course, I chose Shino among the swimsuit girls in the queue at the time, but in my heart I thought Shino was the best.

\"Because I told him directly, that's why Shino was knocked unconscious. \"

\"Ah, no, uh, yes. At that time, Shino was the most beautiful, you probably didn't like it, right? \"

Shino shook her head.

"Uh-huh. Actually, I'm very happy. ”

"Ugh"

Shino's voice became a little angry.

"I'm also worried about my body. I feel happy when you say beautiful or the best thing...... So I'm glad to hear you say that. ”

Since it's Shino, I think she'll shout \"Aren't you an idiot!? \"

\"She has some quirks and can't live a normal life, but I reconfirmed that Shino is also a girl and a woman, and I feel that her face is hotter. \"

At this moment, Shino suddenly knelt down and approached the lantern that illuminated the cave.

With - the lights went out suddenly. The interior of the cave lost its warm color and suddenly turned into a space dyed blue-black by the faint light from the outside, and Shiina's actions surprised me.

\"Shino? \"

Even in the deep blue space, I could see Shino's figure. However, Shino seemed to unfold the front of her coat gently and silently, and when I saw Shiina's bluish-white skin, I was surprised again and felt my heartbeat become stronger.

"Poetry, poetry? \"

Shino moved the corners of her mouth slightly.

"You have complimented my body and accepted me from now on, and I want to thank you for that. There is no one here and no one can come. Well, I guess. ”

"Poetry is a request to me. "My beating heart pulls the content out and conveys it to my head.

Shiinah – When I'm alone with her, she gets very spoiled, and about once a month she makes such a bold move. ——The current poem is the bold poem of the first month.

"Uh, that, is that okay?" \"

Shino nodded quietly.

"Just say, what about you?"

I believe that in the past ten days, she has accumulated a lot of ideas in her body and mind.

"No, I'll make her like me." Only when she has a lot of emotions in her heart and wants to vent all her emotions will she ask such a question.

With this in mind, I quietly walked up to her, put my hand in her coat, placed it on her warm rain-soaked body, and hugged her.

"I'll go out with you until you're satisfied."

She smiled, didn't say anything, and covered mine with her lips. As if in response to her request, I slowly lay down on the dark blue sand with her.

Even with enemy search skills deployed, there is no sign of anyone but us in this area.

After the holiday, we were returned to the capture location.

Thanks to the rest of my body and mind, my motivation and physical strength have also increased a lot more than usual, and I tried to go to the next floor with Shino and Lilan, which is the 83rd floor, but on the way. I stopped after receiving Asuna's message.

I wondered what the hell was going on, and when I was looking at the content, a guy who wanted to join the Knights of the Blood Oath and fight appeared, waiting for me as the boss.

"What kind of person would want to join the Knights of the Blood Oath?" No, first of all, we, the Knights of the Blood Oath, are always on the front lines and always in danger. No matter how much you say you can fight on the front line, if you think about it normally, you should know that it is a dangerous place. Is that visitor a daredevil, like me, or a battle maniac?

"However, no matter how many such people there are, it would be very rude to turn them away if they don't see me." Once you meet and talk, think about that person. With this in mind, I contacted Asuna to give up the capture for the time being, and then decided to return to the Bloody Knights' headquarters with Shino and Lilan who were visitor.

As I walked through the walls of Cold Steel City, Lilan on my shoulder shouted to me.

"What kind of person is the visitor?" \"

"I don't know, you didn't tell me who you were."

Shino half-opened her eyes.

"However, I don't know if anyone would want to join the Blood Alliance Knights at such a time. Person. ”

"I think the same way." Now, the Knights of the Blood Oath are actively challenging the front lines, battling tenacious monsters day and night.

If you want to join the Knights of the Blood Oath, you must fight powerful monsters, and, to join the Knights of the Blood Oath, you need to have the level and combat ability to fight powerful monsters, and even the potential.

"This is not the level you want to enter earlier, and if you only have the strength to sacrifice easily, I don't want you to enter."

"Of course, but they can be surprisingly strong, so I had to go. If they look strong, I will try to fight monsters with them, if they look weak, I will politely refuse them, and then they will become strangers. And then we said "Yes!!!" ”

Shino smiled quietly. It seems that today is interesting.

"The last one, imitating Teacher Alice? \"

"Alright, alright, now we can see the headquarters."

As we continued our usual small talk, we had arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of the Blood Oath. Godfrey, like Diaberu, waited at the entrance, looking around.

"Then it came to us in much the same way as last time and shouted loudly."

"Captain-!"

"It's just a mustache, and his voice is as loud as ever."

Hearing Lilan's grumbling, I approached Godfrey with a wry smile, his voice loud and surprised those around me.

"Godfrey, I've kept you waiting. Is he a visitor or a guest? Is he here? ”

"Yes, it was so sudden, and I was surprised. If you are a guest, I will be waiting for you in the conference room. They wore some extravagant gear. ”

Shino folded her arms.

"Hey, hey. It's even better than the equipment on Kirito. \"

"No, I didn't ask for details, so I don't care. Well, just ask me for now, I'm a candidate for the organization. ”

"I'm the interviewer.

"If it's the Deputy Commander, he'll take the position of Commander and go to attack. Beside him, there was also a purple-haired woman. ”

"It seems that Asuna accepted my words and went to capture them with Yuki. "That's right, as long as I don't catch it, someone has to do it for me.

"I walked lightly into the headquarters and glanced back." What kind of person wants to join the group, and whether it is worth joining, is decided by me as a leader, so I don't have much to do with Shino and Lilann as leaders. Wife, with executive-level powers. Nothing. Here, you should wait until the end of the story.

With that in mind, I handed Lilan over my shoulder to Shino.

"Shiina, Lilan. I'm the one the person that the person wants to meet, so please wait here. \"

"I don't mind, but that's okay.

"Well, it does, but I can't kill anyone in my range, and I'll take it back if I have to. So, wait. ”

\"Kirito, take care\"

I waved my hand to Shino, who was hugging Lilan with a worried face, Shino who was hugging Lilan with a slightly serious expression, and Godfrey, who was a little uneasy, and entered the Knights' headquarters.

Walking through the corridors of the castle made of steel and stone, up to the second floor, and in front of the conference room, I felt the presence of a person inside. Obviously, this is a guest who wants to join.

When I opened the door to the conference room and entered, I saw a figure in the empty room. He was taller than me—about as tall as Klein—in a white combat suit, in armor that looked like a hybrid of armor, with a blonde hair ornament, and short blond hair.

"Sorry for being late"

The man reacted to the voice and turned to me. Then he looked a little surprised.

"Are you the leader of the Knights of the Blood Oath?"

"yes, that's right, the people I heard about who want to join the group?"

The man nodded and smiled quietly.

"My name is Alberridge. Today, I want to join the Knights of the Blood Oath. ”

The man politely introduces himself and bows. I was amazed at his politeness and immediately bowed.

"I, my name is Kirito, the head of the Knights of the Blood Oath.

"It's really embarrassing to bite down." I didn't expect to be treated so well, so I couldn't spit it out that sentence well. It's a little embarrassing.

When he finished bowing and raised his head, a stunned expression appeared on the man's face.
