"So what's that?"

Hearing Shina's whisper, Alberridge crouched down.

"I said at the beginning that my research was for war, but in reality, there were also medical expectations. For example, someone like you who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (ptSd) or trauma-induced mental illness.

Alberridge moved his arm and pointed to his head.

"It's the memories that make you suffer. It's memory that makes you suffer from seizures. However, my research has made it possible to manipulate people's memories and emotions. In fact, it also goes well in the simulation experience.

Of course, when I came into this world, I didn't have any memory, I didn't suffer from those symptoms, and I didn't have a rash. According to Alberridge, the cause of the infection, its true identity, is the memory itself.

"Will you erase my memory?"

"No, no, no, if that's the case, it can only become a memory disorder.

Alberridge stood up and made a gesture that seemed to be thinking about something.

"Well, if this experiment is successful, you'll go from a girl who suffers from guns to a shooter who likes guns the most, shooters who like to shoot things with guns the most. And if your experiment is successful, the success rate will be 100%, and you will be the biggest contributor to the completion of this wonderful research. ”

Shino was taken aback by Alberridge's cold pace of speech, but he could also foresee what might happen to him in the future. The man intends to use his body and mind to do some incomprehensible research. What's more, this man seems to have absolute confidence in his research and doesn't seem to think of failure.

"Wait, wait, what if that research or experiment fails?"

Alberridge\"Huh? Then turned to Shino.

\"Failed? I won't fail. Well, it was true that I failed many times at first, but at some point, I succeeded in everything. So I'm 95% done in my research. The last 5% is you. If this research is 100% complete, I'll get Asuna, Rector, and everything!! \"

The word Asuna suddenly blurted out of Alberridge's mouth. Why mention your best friend's name here? - Shino immediately asks Alberridge.

"Asuna? Why is Asuna's name mentioned? \"

I was the head of Rector's Fulldive VR research department, and I earned the trust of Rector's boss, Asuna's father.

Alberridge looked a little scared.

"However, Asuna hates me, and as soon as Asuna wakes up, she will immediately cancel her marriage to me. Of course, if that happens, the plan will be in vain. Still, if I used this research to falsify Asuna's memories, she would happily agree to marry me. And both Rector and Asuna will be mine. \"

There were a lot of names that I didn't know and it looked like he was just saying, but Alberich's words were somehow full of plans, and I was able to understand that it was an achievable plan. But even so, one thing is certain.

"This man is a crazy guy who wants to do something outrageous to his best friend, Asuna. \"

"Who would allow such a plan?

The "escapee" looked stunned.

"Hey, come on, the people who created this society are themselves criminals. The police, politicians, and the mass media were deceiving us civilians for a long time before I cracked and let them leak the information. I just want to wake people up and tell them that they are all criminal syndicates known as scammers.

"Well, the people I just said couldn't do anything, and they were left one after another, which made me have a stomachache and laugh too much."

When I was in the real world, under the guidance of Ellie Alice, I tried not to turn on the TV because of the possibility of guns appearing and collecting information on online media such as PCs and smartphones.

At that time, I remember the unprecedented news that the police, politicians, mass media and other major corporate heavyweights held press conferences and were forced to resign, and that television and news programs were completely destroyed. Look at the comments in the news section, everyone is already on fire.

(This guy!) ）

This man has completely crushed those who might have caught him, and is continuing to study this inhumanity. Somehow, I am ashamed and saddened that his plans and power were being used for this evil act. However, while Shino was thinking about these things in the magic circle, Alberridge stood up and suddenly walked towards the center of the room.

If you turn your gaze to where you're going, you'll see something like a console made of red marble.

Its form is similar to that of Yui's operation on the first layer.

\"So, let's spoil it first. After all, time is money. \"

As he spoke, Alberridge began to operate the holographic keyboard above the console, and the strange magic circle around Shino began to glow red. Shino immediately realized that something was moving, looked around in confusion, and the next moment, Alberich let out a voice full of joy.

"Now, you're the first successful example of my research, let me show you my research!"

A few seconds after Alberich's loud announcement, about fifteen plant vines suddenly appeared around the periphery of the magic circle, and Shino was surprised to see them, but the next moment she realized that they were not plant vines, but dark black, reddish arms that closely resembled humans.

Moreover, because they wriggle like living creatures, the poems cannot help but develop a strong sense of disgust.

"What is this!? \"

"Isn't that great? That's what I did. To manipulate memory, you need to be completely conscious.

Alberich was about to say this, but his black arm was aimed at Shino's body. Even Shino, who has fought various monsters so far, has never fought with countless black arms, so the moment she is touched by the black arm, she can't help but scream. Then, in the blink of an eye, the black arm grabbed Shino's arms, hands, and legs, and completely restrained her.

"Boost your consciousness with pleasure and ecstasy. Don't worry, it won't cause you pain or suffering. It is the best thing that can bring you nothing but pleasure and pleasure. Now, enjoy it. ”

"Pleasure, ecstasy, pleasure?" Before he could think about the meaning of this sentence in his mind, Alberridge's keyboard operation sounded, and his black arm began to touch Shino's whole body with both hands, as if he had received an order.

"Hey, no, mu, nn, nn——!? \"

Shiina's screams at the feeling that her body is being played with by an unknown object, but the black arm sticks her fingers into Shina's mouth and forcibly breaks it. Her tongue was forcibly pressed down and she couldn't speak normally, but Shino continued to raise her voice and scream.

His hands crawled all over his body, and whenever he touched the part that pleased him, the blonde man's words of pleasure welled up in his heart.

\"n、nnn、nu、nnnnn────────────────────────────────────────────────────

In less than a few seconds, the arm that touched Shino's body reached out to Shino's clothes, which she thought would become an obstacle, and began to forcibly tear it. Every time the sound of tearing fabric came to my ears, my body that I didn't want to show to anyone but my loved ones and people of the same sex was exposed, the air came into direct contact with my bare skin, and the torn clothes turned into miserable blue shards of glass and disappeared.

\"Woooo——!!oo \"

Even if he tried to move his body, he couldn't move at all, because his hands crawled all over his body, restraining him. The black arms greedily turned Shino's immobile clothes into blue pieces of glass, and it didn't take long for them to take off all their clothes, including all their underwear, and begin to caress Shino's naked body with their familiar hands again.

At the same time, the arm that had been blocking Shina's mouth also moved away and moved towards Shina's body, looking for a part that would make her happy.

"Haaa

Acting with my beloved—except for the sound that I never made when I was warm to each other, was squeezed out from the depths of my body, and the pleasant feeling made my body tremble unconsciously.

The black arms kept groping her body, in order to get more of the girl's sweet voice and sweet sweat, so that she would feel more pleasure. Witnessing this, the blonde criminal who controlled the black arm screamed.

\"Hahahahaha Great, great, great! Just thinking that you're Asuna makes me! Well, I was thrilled to see that cold and stoic Blood Knight Leader's wife being treated like this! \"

Unpleasant laughter reaches your ears. However, there was no time to think about what kind of person the owner of that voice was. The pleasure and pleasure that comes with the black arms, as if they know everything about human women, constantly giving them pleasure by playing with their bodies, making their consciousness become something vague in the blink of an eye.

Even the voices that I didn't want anyone to hear except my loved ones naturally came out when I felt the joy that the black arm gave me.

"Goo, woo, hey"

"It's okay! Your emotional data was also collected, I don't know who took it, but it's great that you have something to collect and record your emotions in the first place, to be able to do experiments and data collection! ”

"Do you want to be comfortable?"

"Has it been there since the beginning?"

Shino couldn't understand what the blonde man was shouting excitedly. A creature, a black arm, mercilessly tortures the part of the human feminine pleasure that instinctively feels – the cloudy torrent of pleasure it brings makes my head feel like melted cheese or warm butter, and I can't turn my mind around.

\"Well, I've seen a lot of women, but I don't know what kind of person Miss Shino is, so let's go. \"

After hearing the blonde man's voice suddenly calm down, the black arm suddenly stopped moving. The turbid torrent of pleasure turned into a calm stream, and when Shino woke up a little and looked at her body, she suddenly felt a sense of fear.

The black arm formed a slender shape - approaching a place that no one was allowed to enter except for loved ones.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

No matter how many times he tried to move his body, he couldn't move because the black arms that surrounded him held him firmly. And the black arm never stopped moving.

"Well, please enjoy the supreme pleasure and ecstasy of my research."

The moment the black arm received the blonde man's instructions, what he had been trying to avoid happened, Shino shouted.

"Damn !!"

The top floor of the labyrinth on the 99th floor.

All the heroes known as the captive team gathered there and prepared to go to the final battle to defeat the Demon King.

Absolutely defeat the Demon King, defeat the Demon King, and end this world - everyone ran here with the same will, weapons in both hands. The road to Demon King City.

"Even so, the start ended up being frustrated." There is no entrance to the 100th floor. No, something seemed to lead to the staircase, but its entrance was blocked by an impenetrable wall of objects.

\"What is this!? \"

According to Yui, the structure of the 99th floor is just as I initially expected, and by defeating the powerful boss that appears at the end, the road to the 100th floor is opened.

However, it was rewritten by "Honkai Bad Man", and the path to the 100th floor, the staircase leading to the target, was blocked by an indestructible object. We didn't admit it, and frantically searched the entire labyrinth on the 99th floor, but never found anything like a mechanism that could open the way to the 100th floor.

The path to the 100th floor, the last chest. It was empty.

"Why, why did it end up like this?"

Hearing Diabel, who was attacking from the first floor, screaming while hitting the floor with his sword, I was reminded of the phrase "run away". "If you want Shino to come back, go to the 100th floor.

In order to protect his whereabouts, he set up a research facility on the 100th floor of the last lab, and took advantage of the fact that there was only one road to the 99th and 100th floors, blocking the way. "Breakthrough Man" said this to me, because that's what he did from the beginning.

"Damn, hateful, damn!!"

If you look at everyone around you, you see people throwing their weapons on the floor in frustration, people despairing that the target doesn't exist, people screaming. The scene is like announcing that the world has become a death game in the plaza on the first floor, and only by clearing the game can you return to reality. The scene was playing out on the 99th floor.

"Why did you come all the way here, even though you have come all the way here!! \"

Asuna said to the wall that was supposed to be the staircase. It seemed that he regretted not making it to the 100th floor, but I could tell that his heart was full of desire to see the child as soon as possible.

"How did you get to this point, why did you work so hard?"

"It's horrible, it's too much"

Lizbet and Celica sat on the floor, looking like they were about to cry. Everyone around me feels the same way, and I feel the same way.

Although they sacrificed themselves to climb here, after the final battle, they have come to the end of this world, but what awaits them is the path to the hundred floors, blocked by an indestructible object. We players can't help it, wall. The deadly spec that was blocked by the wall at the end - where are the players who don't speak up for it?

"Open it open it Alberridge!! [Runaway]!! Open the way!! ”

He roared and slammed into the wall that Alberich had blocked, but nothing changed except for the effect of the sparks scattering. The expression of the wall did not change in the slightest, and it just stood there. The daughter's familiar voice came.

"Daddy, please stop"

I immediately turned to my daughter, who has an admin account for the game.

\"Yui, if it's you, can't you use your authority to do something!? \"

"Sorry, I can't. Alberich has a master account with the same privileges as Akihiko Kayaba, and I can't do anything with my privileges. This wall also appeared due to a change in the specifications of the main account. You can't open it with weapons or traps. \"

"So how do I get to the 100th floor!? How do you clear this game!? ”

Yui whispered with her head down.

"The 'Fugitive' hijacked the game's main account and used it to block the way through the game. So, the way we can't do anything about it is to have the same master account log in to the system, invalidate Alberridge's privileges, and then remove the obstacle."

"Nothing like this can be done." When the game became a death game, the people who developed it disbanded and disappeared somewhere. Among them, Alice, who seems to be a survivor of Yuichi, logged into this world, but Alice's account is a normal account, and there is nothing I can do about it.

\"Since I'm waiting for something like this, Shino or rather, how many people have a master account? \"

At this time, Streya, who was standing next to Yui, interjected.

"The people who have the main account are the director, lead programmer, lead art designer, lead debugger, and they played an important role in the development of this game. Among them, Akihiko Kayaba has the director's main account.

"And what account does he have?"

"Alberridge's account probably has the same permissions. I don't know where to find it."

I've heard Alice talk about how the "Fugitives" got their main account. The "Broken Man" is reportedly a member of the large corporation REco, which sustains the world after Argus disappears.

No, it's no exaggeration to say that the "fugitive" actually used it for bad things, so he stole most of it.

"Damn, in the end, we can't beat him, can we only lose to the guy with the main name?"

Looking around, several members of the clean-up team also single-mindedly threw their weapons at what they thought was the staircase leading to the hundredth floor. Hit and bounce repeatedly with the weapon to look like hitting the ore.

"If I do that, my weapon will be damaged and I won't be able to use it, but it doesn't seem to be stopping." And, if you look closely, Diabel, Klein, Egil, whom I trust, are among them.

However, no matter how many times you do this, the wall won't come down, and the road to the 100th floor will never open. After all, the person on the main account directly placed the indestructible.

But in the midst of them, I found a calm presence. It was my partner, Wolf Dragon Ruiran. Lilan stared at the impenetrable wall that the soldiers of the captive party were pounding on, as if thinking about something.

"Lilan, why are you staring at the wall like that?"

Lilan moved her body so as not to make a sound, and as she looked at me, Yui, and Streya, she made a "sound".

"Yui, Streya. Do you really feel like this wall is just a wall? ”

Yui and Strea tilted their heads.

"Just a wall? What do you mean by just a wall? ”

"Yes, no matter how you look at it, it's an impregnable wall of objects"

After Strea and Yui give different answers, Lilan turns to the wall again. Only Lilan seemed to sense something else.

"I see, it turns out that this wall was designed to deceive MHCP and others. But I'm not that kind of person, so that's it

"What are you talking about, you?"

"This wall is more than just a wall. It's a closed door. From the outside, it's nothing more than a wall, and it's locked from the inside. \"

I was amazed at what my partner said. The wall in front of me is like Yui said, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something else.

"What do you mean? Isn't this wall a wall? ”

That's why you say that. It just makes you believe that what is in front of you is a wall, but the essence is completely different. And the trouble is that this door has a jamming function, and even the MHCP has been deceived. \"

"Why do you know—"

"When I was about to say that, I was taken aback." Think about it, Lilan has the ability to visualize the parasite of the simulation experience that Ravage man has inflicted on the player. And since "Lilan" basically doesn't lie, only tells the truth, it can't be a lie.

"Is this the same as a "pseudo-experience parasite"!? ”

"That's it. The wall is like a closed door to me. That's why I know this door is locked from the inside. ”

Hearing Lilan's "voice", Asuna looked surprised.

"That is, you can open it from the inside?"

"That's it. Moreover, it seems that something was torn from somewhere and brought here.

"Have you picked up something somewhere?"

Lilan had a smile on her face. Maybe, but the way this wall works is ridiculous.

"This is the periphery of Ian Grant. If Aingrant travels from outside the labyrinth to the upper level, he will be blocked by impregnable walls.

In fact, before I met Lilan, I was wondering if there was a way to climb up to Ayn Grant without fighting the boss, so I climbed the outer wall of the maze and made my way to the upper floors.

It was going very well at the time, and I had high hopes that it might work, but I was just one step away from seeing an impenetrable wall of objects that I couldn't understand. As a result, we players realized that we couldn't get to the upper level without going through the maze, so when we passed the news to the informants, it quickly reached the players in Ayn Grant.

\"yes, but it won't!? \"

"That's it. This wall is an impregnable object that connects the 99th and 100th floors. The "Fugitive" with the Master Joinery account will not be able to duplicate the item, and will probably have to bring it from somewhere else like this. Even for the main account, the parts related to the core of the system cannot be tampered with unless the game itself is disassembled.

"Is that so...!?"

When Yui and Strea, the game's AIs, looked at each other in surprise, Lilan nodded confidently and looked around. This room has a huge window.

Here it comes. But at the same time, it also means that there is a place to the outside world.

\"The road to the 100th floor is already open!? \"

"That's it. I don't know why he deliberately rode on the back of the black dragon without using the teleportation crystal, but he couldn't open this door from the outside himself, so he could only reach the hundred floors by the air route. In other words, if you can follow the same path as him, you can go straight to the 100th floor, Shino.

"I never thought I'd come in on my own." However, the only reason why he was able to reach the hundred floors through the air was because he was accompanied by a flying wolf dragon.

Among us, only Lilan can fly, and there is only a limit to who can jump on Lilan's back. Even if you can ride, there will only be three people at most.

"In other words, if you take the empty road, you can go to the 100th floor!"

\"Ah, even so! If someone reaches the 100th floor and opens the door from the inside, the door will open and the capture team will avalanche into the 100th floor. Moreover, it seems that he has no ability to set other traps, so he can only set up a key door on the way to the hundred floors.

Once this door is opened, everyone in the Occupy group can invade the 100th floor. To do this, someone absolutely needs to ride on Lilan's back and go to the 100th floor. Of them, only a few can climb onto Lilan's back, and I'm used to it.

"In that case, I'll go."

When I asked them to make a statement, there was an uproar and the Knights of Blood Oath raised their voices of concern. I echoed my uneasy companions.

"I'm used to riding on Lilan's back, and I can go all the way up to the hundred floors without being dropped by Lilan. I will go to the Jade Palace and break through this door from the inside, so that everyone can run from that way to the hundred floors. As soon as I open this door—"

Just as I was about to say this, I heard a voice that didn't belong to anyone. As I turned my head in that direction, I saw that Asuna and Yui were regaining their glow.

\"I'll go too, Kirito-san. \"

"I'll go with you, Daddy."

"Eh, are Asuna and Yui going too!? \"

Asuna nodded and said vigorously.

"There's a good chance that Alberridge is someone with whom I have a deep connection. So I want to find out the truth before everyone else finds out about Alberridge. Also, I want to help Shino who was caught by Alberridge as soon as possible. So I hope Kirito-kun can find Shino as soon as possible. \"

Asuna walked up to me and looked at Lilan. \"

\"I'll fly with Kirito-kun on Lilan's back. Kirito-kun will send me to Shino. In the meantime, I'll open the door and invite everyone to the 100th floor. Even Kirito-kun wanted to save as much trouble as possible. \"

\"Indeed, as Asuna said. \"When I got on Lilan's back and arrived safely at Ruby Palace, I really wanted to ignore the break down and go straight to Alberridge and then to Shina.

But if you do, you won't be able to open the way to the 100th floor, and the captives won't be able to enter.

\"Are you sure? The Ruby Palace is the castle of the Demon King Alberridge.

"If I hadn't taken my chances, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Alberridge, nor have I been able to save Shina, or even Jupiter.

Asuna's eyes were resolute. Just like I want to help Shino, this man also intends to jump into the Demon King City to save Jupiter. Maybe even if Asuna pushed him here, he might have forced his way onto Lilan's back.

"Got it. Asuna, let's go to the Jade Palace together. \"

Seeing Asuna nod, I turned to look at my companions again, all of whom had worried expressions on their faces. After all, I, Asuna, Yui, and Lilan must be very worried if they go to Demon King City alone. Actually, if I were in everyone's place, I would definitely be worried, but I can't sit still.

"Everyone, wait a minute, we will open this door soon."

"The soldiers of the captive regiment who have fought so far." Diabel, our companion who guided us, told us.

"Kirito, please. Anyway, open the door. \"

\"Ahh Everyone, please try to prepare for the next battle here. \"

With that, I looked back at Lilan, who had made the final signpost. Lilan's expression was as calm as ever.

"Then, Lilan, I, Asuna, and Yui are on board.

"Even if you can't go, you'll go. Well, as long as the three of you are on board, it doesn't matter. \"

\"It's a hundred floors ahead, but you haven't forgotten your promise, have you?" \"

\"Even if you haven't forgotten. Come on, hurry up. If you don't ride, I'll go alone

When Lilan sat down for us to jump on easily, I carried Yui over my shoulders and let her carry it on my back. I wanted to carry Asuna on my shoulder, but Asuna jumped on Lilan's back, hugged Yui to her chest, and grabbed the ends of her hair.

Sure enough, on the days when I'm not running, I spend a lot of time with Lilan - and with that in mind, I jump on Lilan's back and create a human dragon in front of Yui and Asuna. The next moment, Lilan moved her huge body and stood up, and our eyes suddenly raised a little.

"Alright, let's start over!!"

As usual, when the order reached Lilanne, he rushed up - jumping outside of the city of Ayn Grant, where we players would surely die.

Just as the companions let out "Huh!? After that, Lilanne unfurled her four large white gold wings bathed in light and shimmering rainbow colors, and began to fly at a breakneck speed in the sky outside Ayn Grant, in the vast sky liberated by the "fugitives". The typhoon-like wind was blowing, and all I could hear was the wind, shouting to Yui and Asuna behind me.

\"Asuna, Yui, are you there——!? \"

"Wonderful-!"

"It's okay here!"

Asuna was used to replaying the flight, so she was able to complete the flight without any problems. In this way, even if it rises, it will not be shaken. The wind was blowing, but there was no turbulence to shake Lilan's body and shake us off.

At this rate, we should be able to reach the hundredth floor relatively safely. But for the dragon to rise, it needs an updraft—at this point, Lilan's body is almost vertical. From the feeling of the roller coaster going up quickly along the railroad tracks, I realized that Lilan had already started to ascend and was about to reach the 100th floor. It seems that they have caught the air flow and risen to the top.

"Run again, did you catch the updraft!?"

"Ahh This is probably the air flow created by humans to climb the 100th floor! That stupid thing, you forgot to turn it off! \"

The man, Alberridge, rode a black wolf dragon, and even the wolf dragon was constructed to be unable to rise without air currents. Alberich, who rode it, could not change its mechanism, and could only take the means of leaving the air flow and riding it up.

"Okay, Lilan, okay!!"

Catching the current, Lilan flapped her wings and immediately climbed into the sky. When I looked ahead, I was greeted by an endless deep blue sky dyed red by the morning light. From our point of view, below is the figure of Augie in a crimson tone.

The Demon King City, which was occupied by the "fugitives", the last stronghold - the Imperial Jade Palace.

"That's the Jade Palace"

"Finally, we've come this far!"

Lilane answered Asuna's whispers to me.

"From that castle, you can feel Kirito, Shino, and the man. There is no doubt that he is there.

"That's the goal of our capture team, and it's the ultimate destination of the fugitives. "A place where all human beings can be freed from this world and return to reality. But we're trying to get in there from the outside. At the time, I was just thinking about going to this castle, so I didn't expect anything at all, just wondering if there was a place to go in from the outside.

"Lilan, can't you tear that wall down?"

"It doesn't seem necessary."

At this moment, I was taken aback by Lilan's words, and I found that Lilan's body was gradually being pulled towards the Imperial Jade Palace. Is this the flow of the wind?

"Re-run, this wind flows"

"On closer inspection, this air flow seems to extend to the place where the Imperial Jade Palace can be entered from the outside. Maybe Alberich forgot to turn it off. Besides, you probably didn't expect us to come, and I don't even feel the signs of a trap.

Relying entirely on the functionality of the main account, he doesn't think it will be exploited. Alberridge's unexpectedly sweet gesture makes me want to smile wryly, but it's really convenient. If you follow this trend, you can get to Alberridge!

"Understand, Lilan!!"

Lilan flapped her wings and flew towards the Jade Emperor Palace in the wind.

"Well, I guess it's time to make me feel good."

Alberridge, the blonde man known to the public as the "Broken Man," muttered. Spectacles that can never be replicated in the real world unfold in front of them.

"But do you have any psychological defenses? You're orgasmic like most girls, but it's going slowly, after all, the real performance takes time, and I'll have to think about shortening it later. ”

In front of the "fugitive" there is a magic circle with a trapped girl inside. The girl's clothes were all stripped naked, and countless black arms crawled on her bare body.

The Black Hand loves human women and has a habit of crawling on them, giving them countless pleasures and melting their consciousness. And this pleasure comes from the nature of all beings, and both men and women cannot resist it.

"Uh-huh"

The maiden, Shino, tried to refuse many times, but she could not resist the pleasure and pleasure inherent in all beings.

Even the place where Shino never let anyone other than relatives enter, the black arm entered mercilessly. Just like that, the black arm crawls all over Shiina's body, constantly giving her pleasure.

Even if Shino faints, she won't stop. Instead, it will give you more pleasure and force you to regain consciousness.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I can turn you into the Asuna in my head, and I can enjoy the scene to the fullest. I'm sure you'll be happy because that's going to be the foundation of your best friend, right? \"

When the greedy and insidious "Broken Man" operates the console, the Black Arm receives the order. The black arm, which heard the master's command, immediately stimulated the part of the organism that the female felt pleasure. The next moment, Shino's body jerked back, and a voice came out of her mouth.

"Woo woo

No, I didn't expect you to show me so much. I should have been documenting this kind of stuff on video from the beginning. If I do, it will sell well to people who like this kind of stuff well, that's okay. ”

Immediately after that, the "broken person" began to operate the keyboard again. In the next moment, when there was a click sound in the machine-packed room, a black arm grew out of Shiina's face in the magic array on the floor. And, unlike the other arms, their hands are slightly larger, and they have blood-red lines of light flowing from them.

"Okay, enough of enjoying it, your consciousness is boiling as your face, right?

The "Broken Man" commanded, and the bloodshot black arm moved violently like an electric shock, hitting Shino's forehead. Shino loses her movements like a doll, and at the same time, a strange grunt sounds, and she is only played with by a pitch-black arm. No more leaked sounds.

Shiina's body is deep enough to not even enter the black arm.

I don't know how I did it myself, but I created a warm and cramped space in the innermost part of the shell called my body, protecting my consciousness from the black arm. However, Shino in that shell could not bring any clothes, and was naked like the outside world.

It was supposed to be in a warm place, but maybe because I didn't have any clothes on, I couldn't help but feel cold. Even when I rolled my hands and feet tightly together, it wasn't warm at all.

It feels like going from the warm world before to the cold world that will never come back.

“”

Distinct. First of all, I have never lived in a warm world.

I spent a lot of time in a cold world and just dreamed of a warm world there. And I was deeply trapped in the dream, unable to extricate myself.

The reality became too painful, and I ended up locking myself in my dormitory in Tokyo, completely cutting off contact with the outside world, dreaming of a warm world all my life.

And now, his body is definitely on the verge of exhaustion – with the end of his dreams.

Sometimes you'll hear a thud, thump, but that's the sound of that black arm hitting the wall. A black arm - death itself, trying to end its own life.

When that arm breaks the walls that surround this world, my life burns out.

“”

"What an enriching dream." Lilan, Asuna, Yui, Alice, and Kirito float and disappear like clouds in the sky. I was sure that my heart, tormented by reality, was trying to heal itself and even gave me such a dream.

Shino whispered to the inhabitants of the dream.

"Asuna. \"Thank you for being my friend.

"I'm really happy, I love shopping." You are my best friend

"Rerun." Thank you for your continued support.

"I feel like I've caused you a lot of trouble, but I like you."

Yui. Thank you for calling me Mom.

"But I'm sorry." It seems that I am not suitable for Yui's mother.

"If you live somewhere, meet someone more decent and call that person Mommy."

"Mr. Alice." Thank you for taking care of me so seriously.

"Thank you, I've learned a lot and I'm feeling better."

"I may not be able to afford the treatment, but thank you very much."

\"And Kirito. \"The happiest thing in my life is to meet you. And the happiest thing is to live with you.

"But that's over." Thank you so much for telling me and giving me so much.

"I don't want to think you're just a resident of my dreams." I'm sure you're alive somewhere. If so, I'd like to see you there.

If I could, I would like to be by your side until the end if my dream ends here. I want to put an end to the life and dreams in your heart.

I'm sorry. But thank you very much. Goodbye, Kirito.

\"No, and people. \"

"The person I love the most."

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Good bye.

"Well, it will take some time."

Alberridge, who was conducting the experiment, was holding his chin in his hand and looking at the console in front of him. Currently, you can see the progress of the girl's memory modification and manipulation on the screen displayed on the console, but the meter moves very slowly.

Alberridge, who is good at calculations, can calculate the time it takes just by looking at the speed of the meter movement, but this time is enough to make Alberridge wait, giving him the feeling of operating an underpowered computer.

"It's not just about removing a portion of memory, it's taking a lot of processing time to make it fully operational.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden roar behind him, and Alberridge turned his head in surprise. The door to the Imperial Jade Palace and the outside, which was supposed to be completely closed, fell out of place and fell to the floor, and flames spread on the floor.

Behind the flames that caused the hot mist, a huge black shadow stood.

"W-What!?"

As soon as Alberich finished speaking, a huge shadow took a step forward, revealing itself. The red-eyed wolf dragon with a white-gold carapace and fur on its body, with four wings on its back, horns growing from its tail tip and forehead, shaped like a large sword, and its wolf silhouette and golden mane reaching to the floor.

And in that area, there was a black-haired teenager in a white and red battle uniform and armor, wielding two swords, and a girl with long hair.

\"You、You're Kirito!? \"

The next moment when Alberich shouted, the wolf dragon carrying the boy and the girl suddenly ran wildly, trampled the floor of the Jade Palace, kicked Alberrich away, and then smashed the console, closing in on the girl who was being used as the test subject. When the boy and the girl came to the girl, they jumped down from the wolf dragon.

\"Shina!! \"

"Mommy !!"

The boy - Kirito called out to the girl in front of him who was being caressed by a strange black arm - Shino. However, Shino didn't give an answer at all, like a doll groped by a black arm.

She must have been deprived of everything, exposing her naked body to the outside, continuing to be groped by the black arm where the woman couldn't help but feel pleasure, exposed to shame By the time they arrived, Alberich's black arm had already violated her beloved many times.

This scene easily came to Kirito's mind, and Kirito's heart was filled with anger to the point of going crazy.

\"Poetry is this!! \"

"Oops, that's too much!!"

The girl Yui gritted her teeth when she saw her mother, who continued to be humiliated.

"I'm on my feet!! \"

The next moment, Kirito roared and slammed his sword into the translucent scarlet wall that blocked his beloved, as if representing the feelings of his family.

Kirito's Blade of Wrath - The red wall that received it screamed, reacting with flashes of light, infused into the sword, and then into Kirito's body.

"Goo-goo-goo-goo!!"

A burning pain spread through my body, illuminated by a bright red light, and the sword seemed to fall out of my hand. However, this pain is the pain that Shino, the loved one in front of her, endures.

Shino is trapped in the wall, her whole body is like an electric shock, and her black arms let her body do whatever it wants. Realizing that Shino's pain at that time was this electric shock, Kirito clung to it until his teeth wore out.

\"Hey, let go of Shina——!!! \"

Kirito roared again and slammed his two swords against the wall. The next moment, with a sound similar to glass breaking, the walls shattered and turned into miserable shards.

After removing the things that bound his beloved, Kirito swung his sword again, severing the strange arm that grew out of the magic circle.

The root of the arm was slashed, and the section emitted a bloody red light, and without saying a word, it fell from the girl's body and disappeared into ashes.

Then, Kirito severed the last arm from the root with a single sword, that is, the arm that reached out and stabbed Shiina's head, then grabbed the broken arm and pulled it out of Shiina's head with all his might.

With a strange click, the black arm that was about to jam Shino's head flew out, and Kirito crushed it and threw it out in a fit of rage.

Getting rid of all restraints, Shino's body slowly fell to Kirito's side, and Kirito immediately hugged him, but immediately felt a sense of incongruity. Usually you can feel the warmth when you put your hand on your hand, but now Shino's body is so cold that it gives people the illusion of freezing or something.

\"Poetry is poetry!! \"

I picked him up and turned his face towards him, but there was a red glow on his forehead that looked like it had been damaged, and his eyes were like black holes, not receiving any light. His mouth was half-open, and all he could hear was a whistling sound coming from his throat, but his voice had no effect.

\"Shinai, Shinai!! \"

No matter how many times I called and shook her body, Shino just turned into a puppet, with plump hands and feet, and there was no response.

Seeing the change in her mother, Yui shouted.

"Mommy, Mom!!"

Shino didn't even react to her daughter's voice, which would normally react immediately. Kirito gritted his teeth, looked at his wife in a trance, and shouted at his partner, Ruiran, the wolf dragon.

\"Lilan, Shina, what's wrong with Shina!? \"

"Maybe he's doing a psychiatric intervention. Now Shino may be on the verge of losing her mind. \"

Kirito felt a chill all over his body. Now, when I face these arms, I wave at them with a strong urge of anger, and when it reaches Shiina's head, I forcibly pull it out, but will Shiina's loss of consciousness because of this?

"Is it because you pulled out that black arm?!"

Yui held back the confusion in her heart and said to Kirito.

It seemed to paralyze her consciousness, trying to access her memories. However, she seems to be very conscious, and even now, despite the interruption in the middle of the operation, I can still feel her consciousness deep down in her heart. ”

Yui, an artificial intelligence created to heal people's hearts, her words are full of power and are able to understand how a person feels, whether they are conscious, and whether they are mentally ill. Hearing this, Kirito breathed a sigh of relief and asked Yui again.

\"What should I do, how can I get Shino back to normal!?

It was Lilan who answered, not Yui.

"I tried to put my arm in Shiina's head, trying to intervene in Shiina's memories. In the same way, stab you in Shimina's head, and you may be able to restore Shina's consciousness. I'm not sure, but

"Ah, then maybe it's possible. Mom and dad use NerveGear and medicuboid, these devices that connect the brain, so if we do something about the signal"

When I came here, I knew that Alberridge was developing techniques for manipulating memories and emotions under the guise of experimentation, and Shino was being used as an experimental subject. And as long as you do it like the arm in Shino's brain just now, you should be able to regain Shina's consciousness. Yui and Liran's words were convincing.

"Anything goes! As long as Shiina's consciousness can be restored, I'm willing to do anything! \"

Lilan stared at Kirito's dark eyes with her own red eyes. Just a few seconds after that, Lilann sent it to Kirito
