As a result of the "digital drug" in a person with an excess of substances in the brain, the sensation can be raised to abnormality, causing symptoms such as hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. Its properties are unchanged from those of dangerous drugs that exist in the real world.

It can be said that dangerous drugs in reality have come to the virtual world, which is what is called "digital medicine" - Yupitel explained it indifferently and told everyone.

"The digital version of dangerous drugs that exist in the real world is called 'digital medicine'. And that player is generally referred to as a 'transformer player'. ”

It's like inheriting from Yupitel, Lilan said as she made her arm.

"And what we are not good at quality is that the habit of "digital medicine" is also very high. People who have been given the taste by the sensation of "digital medicine" will use it again and again. The user of the "digital drug" then remains awake in his or her brain. In this state, back to the real world, the events that caused the problem also happened one after another"

Lilan's expression was like a bite of a bitter worm. It's not very comfortable. Absolutely, of course.

Words from such two people. People who use dangerous drugs in the virtual world are in the same state as those who use dangerous drugs in the real world.

The virtual world has the same problem as the real world, and because of this fact, there is a heavy silence among everyone, but it is Asna next to Yupitel who quickly breaks this.

"But is that a dangerous program running on AmUSFIA?"

It was Yupitel who answered. The eye was not on the mother, but at the table in front of him.

"Normally, no, but just retrofit AmUSFIA. Although there is a firmware program that moves AmUSFIA, it is also possible to move improper programs by modifying it. ”

"How's the danger? Aren't real-life drugs dangerous? ”

It was not Yupitel who answered Diabel's question, but Yui.

"At present, AmUSFIA, which is generally widely used, does not have the ability to directly cause fatal injuries to the human body. However, "digital medicine" is something that causes an overdose of substances in the brain, and it puts a great load on both the body and the mind. Whatever one may say, dangerous things have not changed. I think the player that Dad saw saw the illusion through the "digital drug"

And the mutant's sudden logout is probably because of Amusfia's security features. AmUSFIA, which was developed after the "SAo" incident, is equipped with a function that forcibly logs out due to an increase in heart rate and loss of consciousness.

At that time, because the transporter's brain secreted excess brain substances, Amusfia sensed the abnormality of the brain and caused it to perform a forced write-off function.

Speaking of which, Yui ends the story of inheritance from her brother and sister. During this time, everyone listened as if they were pinned by three people, and I became in the same state.

And most importantly, I saw Yupitel and Yui.

Developer Elise has said that Yui is based on Yupitel, but this statement is not false. Yui, who is now calmly explaining, looks almost the same as Yupitel's appearance.

Yui is a child who inherited the function of Yupitel and the characteristics of Elis as a biological parent.

When I realized this again, it was Yuki who opened her mouth.

"If you log out right away, it won't cause trouble for other players, but I don't think it's good. How to say, the filth of our position seems to have been done."

Kem was also silent about Yuki's words. I feel the same way.

By using AmUSFIA, we can enjoy a variety of things with everyone, and we get a sense of excitement. This is how Amusfia was originally used. However, what wants to get it through improper procedures is "digital drag", so you can't feel good about its existence.

Everyone is in the same mood, with the same regret and sad expression as YUKI.

"And we're just like "digital medicine." ”

Through Yupiter, who said this, everyone let out a sound of surprise in unison. Asna immediately accosted Yupiter.

"Hey, what are you going to say?"

Facing the anxious face of Asna, Yupitel stretched out his small palm. It's not a gesture that includes the phrase "wait for me".

"My sister and I are equipped with abilities that heal the spirit of the players. Detect the movement and abnormalities of substances in the brain and restore them to the optimal value.

But that's how we use our power. “

"Huh? \"

I could only be as surprised as Asner could not speak. Lilan and Yupitel, "MHHP", are equipped with items that improve mental and mental movements and heal anomalies by contacting the player.

Whether we're "SAo" or "ALo", we're all helped by the feature, and it's because of this feature that we're here.

Leland, the wielder of that ability, continued to speak. Look at the palm of your hand.

"The reason why we are able to use our power to make the flow of matter in the player's brain at the optimal value is because we have such an intention and mission. However, if we go against its mission and intentions, it is also possible to cause an abnormal flow of matter in the player's brain. That's the 'digital medicine'" like this. “

"That's it"

Under everyone's incredulous attention, Yupitel said with a wry smile. The laughter clearly contained mockery of oneself.

"So Mom, we can't unilaterally criticize the existence of 'digital medicine'. We are also in the same category as 'digital medicine'. ”

So — that's what I thought. Ever since seeing that Transformer, Lilan has been acting uncomfortable and sad. That's because I know that the abilities I have are ultimately the same as the "digital medicine", and it is myself who can also produce transformer players.

If it can eliminate the player's mental abnormality, it can pollute the player's spirit like a "digital drug". What has not changed in essence from "digital medicine" is us, and they have conveyed it to us.

But - before I want to go on, there is something that makes a sound in this silent place. It was Asna who was listening to the story next to Yupitel and hugged Yupitel's slender body with that body.

It happened so suddenly, everyone could only be surprised. Both Yupitel and Lilan were like this, and could only look at Asna motionlessly, but soon Asna shook his head.

"Nothing like that. Nothing like that! Neither Yupitel nor Lilan is like that. You're not like that at all. ”

In her mother's embrace, Yupitel blinked repeatedly. Asna as a mother continued.

"Indeed, your power may be so dangerous. It may also become the same thing as a "digital medicine". But you have absolutely not used your power in such a thing. Your power is "digital medicine" and completely different"

Immediately after, Shino, who was sitting next to me, stood up and approached Lilan and Yupitel, who were completely frightened and lost their speech.

"As Asner said. Your power is not like that of 'digital medicine'. For people like me who are mentally distressed, good strength. ”

So far, Shino has been mentally abnormal in virtual reality, repeating things that cause panic many times. That's something we can't do anything about, but Lilan uses her power on Shina every time to govern it.

"Digital Medicine" has the power to disrupt the player's mind and brain, but Lilan and Yupitel, while homogeneous, do not do what they do. Instead, he helped the players many times.

The words of Shino who was helped by the power than anyone else have a strong persuasive power. Shino quietly smiled at Lilan and Yupitel, who were already exhausted.

"So, please don't say that. Your power is not a 'digital medicine', but the same medicine as a doctor's prescription. ”

Lilan muttered Shiina's name in a whisper, and this time Yui and Streya approached. As soon as they arrived at their sister's place, both of them smiled.

"Yes, sister, brother. Even if it is the same structure as the "digital medicine", the power of the older sister and the older brother is different. ”

"Moreover, we don't have the power that Lilan and Yupitel have. So, I'm envious of the two people who can heal people directly. ”

"So, please don't feel so inferior."

When the sisters told them, Lilan and Yupitel were surprised. Indeed, the power of the two is only carried on the two of them, and it does not exist in the younger sisters Yui and Streya. The power that two people possess is special, and the two people who possess this power are also special. Because of this, it is more important than a "digital drug" that is especially valued by some poisoned people.

"Leland, Yupitel. The powers you have are prepared to heal the player. And you are healing us now.

So don't say it so badly, and use that power to heal us in the future. “

Finally saying what was in their hearts, Lilan and Yupitel's eyes widened. Perhaps it was not conveyed well that the two men turned that sneering mockery into a meaningless smile.

"If that's what you say, wouldn't you care?"

"You can be mindful that you're not a 'digital drug.'" \"

As soon as Asna said this, Lilan laughed tickledly, and Yupitel temporarily removed her face from Asna's chest and looked at everyone.

"Thank you, everyone."

As soon as Yupitel said it, everyone replied with a "you're welcome" expression. The two people who saw it laughed even more.

However, there are things I have on my mind around you.

The existence of "digital dragging" is a fact, and with the development of VR, "digital dragging" appeared. While VR technology hides excellent possibilities, there is also a risk of causing big events and problems, and even raw materials for pregnancy.

Where is the VR technology created by Argus, led by Akihiko Ashwaga, going to develop?

What is the waiting for evolution.

While thinking about that kind of thing, I looked at the four beings born in the VR world.

Something unusual was reported to one of the operations by Lilan, Seven.

According to Seven, the player will always have a blue cursor when attacking an NPC, which is absolute.

However, because the game itself is still in the development stage, there is also a possibility that there are some kind of bugs and vulnerabilities. Despite attacking the premiere, players who didn't make it to the cursor also stumbled upon it - it's Seven.

First of all, Seven reported this information to the operations team in Japan, and it seems that it is being corrected, but it will take time to fully correct it. Until then, there should be more surveillance to see if any players are attacking the Premier League, Seven said.

The premiere is a living life in this world, and if killed by the player, it will not be resurrected. And the premiere has experienced all kinds of things, and I feel that my feelings are getting richer and richer, and the harmony with us is getting deeper and deeper.

The premiere that we spent together here can't be killed by the casual actions of our players. We came to the conclusion that there were basically people watching the premiere in the login, and in the case of not being able to log in, the protection was strengthened by Lelan, Yupitel, Yui, and Streya.

The premiere will definitely not let you die. The Prime Minister's life must be guarded no matter what. With that engraved in our hearts, we spent the days with the premiere.

Two days after that incident.

I logged in as usual and went down to the "street where it began". Maybe it's because of the morning, but there aren't as many people on the street as there are "ALo", but there are a lot of people, and everyone is checking their destinations and exchanging information.

Only the person who got the ticket was able to participate in this game, but even then a considerable number of people entered.

But it's still in closed beta, and when the official service begins, countless players will enter the world, and everywhere will be lively. The current state of "the beginning of the town" may not be original.

Then, until that time, if you don't continue to protect the NPCs living in this world, you can walk while thinking about it and enter the shopping street area. The blacksmith shop run by Liz Bet and Lilan and the shops run by other NPCs are made up of a lot of them, as the necessities of the adventure are complete, and the number of people is large compared to the transfer gate area and the residential area.

In "ALo", it is not as crowded as the crowd created by the cluster of 7 and the time of work and school in Tokyo, but it is still necessary to move forward so as not to bump into other players.

In a shopping street area like this, there will be a lot of people when the official service begins. Should you be happy that the game is lively, or should you be worried about the increase in people?

Imagining the events of this place, a familiar figure was spotted in front of the fountain in front of the Grand Inn.

Half-length black hair with sideburns tied with a white ribbon. A girl wearing a high-exposure light suit based on green and a blue scarf. I thought it must have been Shino from the home we got.

Are you looking for something, or who are you waiting for, look around. It should be where I can see, but didn't notice what I looked like. You can't see this.

Approaching through the crowd of people coming and going, Shino completely turned in the direction of the day after tomorrow, and I was driven into the eyes. It's rare for Shino to notice me here. Shi Naiyo's probably the girls such as Asner and Liz Bet, did they wait for quite a long time?

In the process of thinking, I walked to the side that deviated from Shino's vision. Still, Shino didn't notice.

"Shino"

"Ahhh

Shino made a sound that seemed to be touched by ice, and she was startled. It was too loud, so I was startled by the sound I made too.

"Wow! What's wrong? ”

Shino looked at me for a few seconds and sighed as if she were caressing my chest. Quite surprising indeed.

"What, is that you, don't scare me."

"That's my line. Suddenly screaming, what's wrong? ”

"Huh? Ah no, nothing. ”

Shino said that there was something that has a lot of reality in her life so far. Now, Shino is really not meeting. As if to hide it, Shino asked me.

"What are you doing? Say hello to me out of the blue. ”

"It's nothing, I just greeted him because I found Shino."

"Yes. Then forget it"

Shiina's gaze is downward. Sure enough, there is something right. However, even if you ask here, you won't tell me. At least move somewhere.

If you listen to you, it's best to go home, but I just came here from home, and Shino also made the place where he was canceled his home, so he came from home as well. After all, it's a lot of work to go home again.

Then I suddenly remembered what happened when I logged in. If you log in to this game, multiple windows will be displayed, and you can read the latest information about the game, etc., but today there is an advertisement for a café that shows the "beginning of the street", and it is said that a new cake has been added because the number of customers who come to the store exceeds a certain number.

If you take Shino to chat, that coffee shop is better. I haven't been dating much lately, so it's better.

"Ah, do you have time now? If I could, I would like cake. ”

"Cake? Is it the same place that shows up when you log in? ”

"That's right, that's right. The advertisement was very popular, and it is said that a new menu has been added. Go eat it now. ”

Shino reacted as if she remembered something. Do you remember the recent events?

"So, we haven't been dating anything lately."

"Right. I'm interested in adding a new menu to that store, and I'd like to enjoy it with you if I can. ”

"Did the result target the new menu?"

"It turns out that both the princess and the cake are my targets."

Speaking like a prank, Shino chuckled. I seemed to be nervous just now, but now it seems to have been pulled out.

"Okay, okay. If that's the case, I'll associate with you, the gluttonous important person. ”

I laughed when I heard the players around me whispering in whispers that I couldn't hear.

From there, I started dating that I couldn't do anything because of the premiere and the family. I took Shino to the coffee shop.

On the way, Shino also said boring things like "It's still morning, so if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat lunch." Don't let people look around or what they're looking for.

Is it because I'm reassuring that I'm nearby, or so that I don't notice? I can hear it right away, but it's really not that time, and I want to enjoy the conversation with Shino.

I've been putting aside my concerns since just now and talking to Shino as I usually do on dates.

Rifa/Naoba said, "It's too quiet, it doesn't look like a lover." ”。 We arrived at the coffee shop at our destination. There are several places with balcony seating, and the store and balcony are already crowded with people enjoying cakes and drinks.

Couples can also be seen everywhere, Shino whispered.

"Sure enough, there are a lot of couples."

"If that's all you have, don't worry about it. Have a seat. ”

I greeted Chinon and sat down on the outside of the balcony. It didn't take long for him to see Shino sitting in the seat in front of him, and then called out the menu.

A few cakes and desserts were added as advertised at the time of login, with the words "New! ”。 Even at the time of the image, it is something that I think is already delicious.

"All of them look delicious. It's dazzling. ”

"Really, I don't know which one to choose. What will Kirito do. ”

"I am."

The cakes shown all look delicious, and it would be confusing if asked which one to choose. If Yui and Lilan were here, there would be four people ordering different things and sharing ways to eat, but they can't do that right now.

However, sharing and eating can also be said to be Shino, so it is better to choose something that you can share with Shino. Thinking like this, I suddenly saw a new chocolate cake displayed on the menu.

"This dark chocolate cake."

"Huh? You, please. \"

"Huh? What is Shino going to ask you for? \"

Shino pointed to the place where the window I showed was. There was the white chocolate cake next to the dark chocolate cake I wanted to rely on.

When I said something to order, Shino was slightly startled, as if it was because I ordered something like myself. Shino looked at me with a slightly strange expression.

"Don't you even have my favorite food?"

I also have the memory of Shino in my mind, but that influence is a little bit now. My food preferences are still my own. Now I also like to eat dark chocolate cake and bitter chocolate before I met Shino.

It wasn't affected by Shino's memories - after saying this, Shino seemed to feel a little relieved and smiled.

"So, you like it."

"That's right, that's right. Dark coffee with bitter chocolate. "Black Dragon Swordsman" is very fond of black things, you know. ”

"Of course I know, since I've decided, I'll leave it to you."

After smiling at my joke, Shino clicked the order button. Invisible traffic lights fly into the store.

Ten seconds later, the waitress who took two kinds of chocolate cakes from the store came and said, "I'm waiting for you."

The black one was given to me, and the white one gave me permission to put it down, and I said "Please take my time", thanked me, and returned to the store.

I immediately looked at the chocolate cake in front of me. The one sitting on the white plate, which is indeed a black cake, embodies the name of the dark chocolate cake.

The sponge is as dark as chocolate mixed with it, with a slightly grey cream mixed with chocolate chip cookies in between. It is coated with sesame seeds and black cream, and the bitterness is felt more than sweetness.

"It's darker than I thought."

"Really, isn't there charcoal in there?"

"No, I don't think so"

On the other hand, the Shino cake is covered with white whipped cream between the top and the sponge, and you can see that it contains white chocolate. The sponge is a yellow color similar to that of a cake, so if you remove the strawberries and put it in the white chocolate.

Although it looks simple, I think it's an incredible and delicious cake. It's just like Shino's own charm.

If that Shina's cake wins, my cake may fall short. However, if you order it, you should eat it, and most importantly, if you don't eat it, you won't be able to understand the taste.

"Okay, let's eat."

With that, I picked up the fork and brought the black cake to my mouth. Then I was taken aback again.

At first glance, it looks like a bitter dark chocolate cake, but from the sponge, it has the sweet flavor and taste of chocolate, which is the opposite of its appearance. The cream is also sweet, and the chocolate chip cookies contain an interesting texture.

I thought it was the aroma and taste of coffee, but I didn't expect to feel it. It is a cake made only with pure chocolate.

"That's delicious."

"Ah, really?"

"Ah, it's unimaginable from the outside, but it's very delicious. This one is very popular. ”

Sinaibo stared at my cake intently in surprise. I must have listened to what I said with half a doubt.

"Really? That"

"Well, you can taste it."

After answering like this, I handed the cake to Shino, who strangely cut my cake with a fork and brought it to her mouth. A few seconds later, just like when I ate the cake, there was an amazing reaction to its surprise.

"Hey, really. The taste of chocolate is good and delicious. ”

"yes. Surprisingly delicious. ”

"I was completely deceived by my eyes, and this restaurant will add interesting menus."

When she put the cake back nearby, Shino saw her cake and showed a regretful expression.

"If that's the case, maybe it's better to choose that. This one tastes good. ”

"I see, I look delicious."

"No, do you want to try it?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

In response, Shino handed me a plate with a white cake. I have already peeled a little bit of the cake that Shino ate with a fork and transported it to my mouth, and I know the taste immediately.

The cake that Shino ordered was a white chocolate cake, but the idea of whipped cream was stronger than that of white chocolate.

In the mouth, there is a smell and taste of white chocolate, but immediately the whipped cream comes to remove the presence of white chocolate. The sponge is the same texture and taste as it looks like a cake, but the idea of whipped cream is smeared.

If you're a fan of whipped cream, you should feel irresistible, but if you eat it as a white chocolate cake, you'll only feel betrayed.

"I see, so be it here."

"Really? How so, is it okay? ”

"No problem, isn't it? That said, this is not a white chocolate cake. ”

"Maybe, but I don't hate it."

It's true that Shino doesn't like whipped cream, and her daughter is small, so it won't be so painful to eat this cake.

However, that cake clearly defies the name white chocolate cake. Be sure to change the name in the latest update. This is a common occurrence in the case of an MMO.

Then when I wanted to go to the second bite, I remembered something. I'm here to go on a date with Shino, and I also want to ask Shino about it.

The players around them were obsessed with their stories and didn't prick up their ears to listen to what was going on here. If you ask, now is your chance.

"So, Sinon, what happened just now?"

"Huh?"

"Look, weren't you surprised when I accosted you? Is there anything you care about? ”

Shino was stunned for a moment. But it immediately blurred that expression.

"At that time, there was nothing"

"When you say that, it's when something with a high probability happens. If you could tell me, could you tell me? ”

Shino stared intently into my eyes. When she heard the noise around her, Shino let out a huge sigh.

\"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. But that's okay, I'm thinking I'll tell you if I can. \"

"So, what happened?"

Shino looked around lightly. It reproduces the tension I saw when I saw it.

"Maybe it's psychological. \"

"Hmm."

"I think you're doing tracking or something."

"What!?"

I couldn't help but stand up loudly. The sound seemed to reach the balcony, and it wasn't until I came back to my senses that I realized that I was getting attention from all around me.

Shino, who was in the spotlight and anxious, couldn't help but apologize and say "I'm sorry", and sat coughing, and the eyes around him scattered.

Seeing the right time, he whispered to Shino.

"Is tracking real? The security of the room is no problem. There is SAo Survivor Survivor Survivor Our Apartment. “

"It's not realistic, it's true, isn't it? Things in this game"

That sentence reassured me. If it's not a real-world problem, you can rest assured for the time being.

"Well, I feel like I'm being watched on the street and on the pitch. It's also a good frequency. ”

"Was that when you were with us?"

"Huh. When I'm with you, Asna, and them. Don't you feel anything? It feels like someone has seen it. ”

When I logged into this game, I spent a lot of time with Shino, Yui, and Lilan, and it was also Lilan when I was playing-because it was a "demon-making so it was a matter of course-and Shino formed a party.。 Whoever put it on, we were put on it.

I suddenly remembered what happened when I appeared for the sake of the strategy, and I thought of a section. Indeed, as Shino said, when I acted with Shino, I felt the sight and breath from somewhere.

Lilan's appearance was also strange at the time. Suddenly he turned around and roared and yelled, shouting "Who is there!?" There were also things that surprised me and Shino.

But I didn't find anything every time, so I think it's a psychological effect, and Lilan also says it's a psychological effect, but it's not a psychological effect.

Shino was attached to something, and we were also attached to it at that time.

"It may feel that way. Especially when I'm with you, I feel like I'm being stared at. ”

"It's really not psychological."

Shiina's face showed a little unease. Previously at ALo, Sineva Shak Casals Pulley was arrested and treated harshly. I must have remembered what happened at that time. I felt that for a moment, but immediately it was different.

Vašak Casals attacked Sinai at that time on the orders of Hannibal. But now Vashak Casals has lost news from his master, Hannibal. I don't know where it is, but now that I've lost my master, it's unlikely that I'll consider the possibility of targeting Shino.

"Even so, it seems that there are no Vashak Casals. They're gone, and if it's them, there's something to do about it now. But Shino, what's going on? ”

"No, I just felt possessed, and I didn't do anything special."

"That's good, but what's that guy in that case? Killed Shino for what? ”

"I wonder if you're feeling a little uncomfortable? If it's you, don't know what. \"

I can't help but make an "um" sound. If you don't wear Shannon and don't do it, it's very unlikely that you'll still be Vashak Casals. If that's the case——。

"Someone who simply has a crush on you."

On Xi Nong's face, a questioning expression appeared. As expected.

"Is that how I got involved with you?"

"Probably the guy who accidentally didn't understand that I was my boyfriend. Although it is a boyfriend and girlfriend, there are many players who only have friends. ”

"However, our situation is"

That's right. Shi and I live with "SAo", "ALo", and this "SAo", and we vow to be together for the rest of our lives. However, only us and our friends know about this, and it is impossible for players from the outside world to know about it.

Because of this, some people may think that Shino is a player without a lover and aim for Shino. Now we just don't do anything like lovers when no one is around, in front of people on the pitch and on the street.

"Maybe someone who doesn't know about our relationship is stalking you. He doesn't do anything, but if he follows you, I, as your lover, can't forgive. ”

"Kirito"

Maybe it was a surprise what I said, but I saw Shino's cheeks dyed with some cherry blossoms. I couldn't help but think it was cute, but I immediately retracted it and asked.

"Shino, how is it now? Don't you know that someone is watching me? ”

"You're who, how? Can't find any weird-looking players? ”

I suddenly stared at Shino's surroundings. The players around us were enjoying the coffee break just as much as we did when we came here, and they didn't seem to pay attention to us.

There's no Shino's stalker here - that's exactly the time to think so.

Yes.

In the seat more than ten meters behind Shino, there is a player who has been staring at this side. The physical characteristics are not clear because of the crowd, but I am really looking at this side.

"Are you there?"

"Ah, there's a guy who keeps staring at me from behind Shino. Because there are too many people to see clearly, but I am indeed here. ”

Shino was about to turn back when I held the body tightly so that it was facing forward. Shino, who was taken aback by something sudden, let out a small sorrow, and I said to Shino okay.

"You can't turn back, you're going to be found and run away, just stay like that." \"

"Huh? Hey? What to do? Did you find him? \"

The fastest was that I caught the one, and the other party wasn't stupid. Must be asking about the situation here, ready to run away at any time. I can run away when I move.

Here's one, with what combat lure tape maybe I'll have to do something.

He removed his hand from Sinon's body and sat back in his seat.

"I found it, but what's going on? If I can do something about it, the chances of escaping are high. Anyway, if only you could seduce me."

"Invite"

If the monster is an opponent, there is a way to lure it by throwing a knife, but this will not work against a human opponent. To seduce that person, what kind of method should Shino's stalker take?

Just when I was about to think about it, Shino suddenly thought of something like this.

"Hey, Kirito, do you want to quarrel?"

"Huh?"

I'm in a daze with a sudden proposal.,Shino said.。

If the guy who has a crush on Shino is a stalker, he should think that I'm an eyesore as a boyfriend and wants me to stay away from Shino.

So Shiina, and I pretended to quarrel here. Later, if Shino leaves here, she may mistakenly think that we broke up, and the stalker will approach Shino.

When the stalker approached Shino, I suddenly grabbed it. This is Shino's battle.

Indeed, if it's a stalker who has a crush on Shino, it must be aimed at the moment when Shino and I broke up. If we quarrel here and make the acting of breaking up, there is every possibility that it will be considered real.

"I see, that battle plan is not bad."

"yes. So put on a show, Kirito. Please try your best to perform the acting skills of the grand quarrel with me. ”

What to play, I'm actually not very good at it, and I don't want to quarrel with Shino. However, this is the only stalker who wants to seduce Shino, so I can only do it.

Immediately write the script in your head, nod your head.

"Got it, you want to be grand too."

\"I know, then I'll go\"

"Hey"

After the two of them closed their breath, Xi Nong slammed the table and stood up. An angry expression appeared on his face.

"Why are you always so distracted!? Bring all the girls around! Obviously there is a woman like me!! ”

In response, he banged on the table and stood up and roared.

"That's what you're like! Aren't there handsome guys all around, and your gifts everywhere!! ”

"Aren't you unusually numerous! Why don't you say it's cheating!? ”

The players around us began to turn their eyes to us who suddenly shouted loudly, and began to make "what is this" sounds. It seems to have caused chaos around just right. It must have been Shino's stalker who reacted sometimes.

"And you're not even a 'demon'! How many women around you want it!? ”

"You're too—"

Yes, just as I was about to say the next line. The player who had been staring at my seat stood up.

Is it still action--As you think about it, you say the next line, and the player moves on to the next action.

And so he came to us in a puff of smoke.

"What, what's wrong? Neither of you ever said that to each other, did you!? ”

The guy who looked very flustered was a man.

Overall, he was tall with a long silver hair, and he wore a black-green shawl over a battle uniform based on green, which is what he had seen before.

The man had now slipped out of the seat of the stalker who was supposed to have Shiina, and came to us on his own.

Shiina, I and I saw the stalker who was supposed to hide and sneak around, and it froze completely

"I came out on my own"

Muttered.

"I came out on my own"

Shiina, I said in unison to the player in front of me.

Male player with long silver hair tied and wearing a black-green cloak from a green combat uniform feels a bit tall.

That's because someone thought he was following me when Shino appeared on the field, so I came in a panic.

A stalker who would never appear in front of me under normal circumstances will appear as if he had surrendered, which is an unheard of development.

Stunned by so much that had happened, Shino and I could only keep our eyes open.

"Hey, what's really wrong with you two guys!? Two people love each other more and cherish each other! ”

Because of what the tall man said, I suddenly changed back to me, and my eyes were sharp.

Although it seems like I've seen it somewhere, this guy is from a place where it is believed to have a player who is following Shino.

Well, the stalker who has been following Shino so far is this guy.

I was shocked that I came by myself, but it would be perfect if it came out like this. I approached the stalker as if I were about to bite.

"Hey, you seem to be pestering Sinon all the time, what are you doing?"

"Huh? \"

Shino stared at the stalker, who was a little surprised. Reminiscent of a bobcat aiming at its prey, its gaze turns to a stalker.

"So you're stalking me, I've been harassed a lot."

"Huh? \"

"Since that's how you came out, let him talk about the situation. Depending on the situation, he is pestered by bad players, and I will report to the operations department. ”

When Shino suddenly took a step forward, the stalker must have panicked and folded his hands. Is it a gesture that included an indication of the intention to stop?

"No, no! I'm me, Kirito, and Aada!! ”

"Hey, hey?"

Again in a daze at the same time.

Now coming out of the stalker's mouth is my real name and Shino's name, which is information that nearby players should not know. Could it be that this stalker is a stubborn collector to that extent? If that's the case——。

"Huh?"

No, it's not like that. I've seen this player. No, where can we talk about it, and I have seen it.

He wears a long gray silver hair and a green combat uniform reminiscent of camouflage uniforms. Although there is a physical trait that makes people feel powerful, the essence is not like that, but rather a remarkable appearance.

I know a friend who has this trait, and Shino knows it. As soon as I noticed the name, I said it to the man in front of me.

"You, are you Gong Er?"

"Huh? Kyoji? Kyoji, could it be that Shinkawa impregnated you? ”

The moment Xi Non said this, the silver-haired man seemed to be weak, or let out a big sigh of relief, and staggered and gently fell on his upper body.

"Ah, I finally understood yes, Kirito, Shino"

Kyoji Shinkawa. The one who used Shupiger's name in the virtual world was to bring Shino's exclusive doctor Elis/Serizawa Ellie, who was also one of the patients of the exclusive doctor, to us with ALo and Elis.

When we first met, we fought until the end of the fight, but after that, we carried out ALo's strategy together, and in the end, even Hannibal was eliminated as one of the partners.

Shiina, I met in the real world through Ellie, and I became friends.

The silver-haired man who was right lifted his upper body and turned his face towards me.

There is a green cursor on the head and the name "Spiegel Shrink Gel". Same name as before.

"I thought you'd notice me today, but you did, Kirito."

"Are you here?"

"Hmm."

Spiegel nodded quietly. Seeing that, Shino showed an expression of seeing something precious.

"In this way, Shinkawa-kun may not have seen Spiegel recently"

Kyoji/Spiegel, who often meet in ALo to form parties and explore, can't see his face or confirm his presence after arriving at "SA:o".

Shupiger should have gotten his ticket through the seventh, but never landed in the "SA:o\" no matter how long it took. Although I kind of wondered what was going on, I felt that I also had a situation, so I didn't contact or urge me much.

But that Shupiger actually appeared in front of us in such a form. Just as he was about to talk, Xi Nong's voice came first.

"Then again, my stalker is Spiegel from my place, and you're going to happen to me too."

"Ahhh

"What do you mean by that, don't stand in front of everyone and follow me."

As soon as the wrinkle between Shina's eyebrows approached, Shupigel's face returned to anxiety.

In any case, even patients with the same dedicated doctor will not feel comfortable being followed. Shino's reaction was a matter of course.

And in that case, I also have something to ask Spiegel.

"Spiegel, what is your reason for following Shino? When did you come? If you've been logged in before, why not join us? ”

Just when I said I was going to spit out what I wanted to hear. Suppiger's face gradually changed to a sad or lonely look.

Immediately afterward, Spiegel muttered to himself.

"Because I'm an outsider."

"Huh?"

Shupiger's face gradually descended, and his head was lowered. In this way, Spiegel moved his mouth to weave language.

"Isn't this world a place of memories for everyone? Everyone once fought together in this world and survived to the end.

But I'm different. I'm not a SAo survivor. Memories of SAo are nothing.

Therefore, even if you log in, it is difficult to appear in front of everyone. For everyone who shares SAo's memories, I'm an outsider, so I can only look at everyone from where you can't see it. Because I feel like if I was an outsider and went out, it would hinder everyone."

So Spiegel's words stopped. When I heard the last me, Shino and I could only react to that content with repeated winks.

Indeed, for us, "SA:o" is a place to recreate the world in which it once lived. By seeing the world of the past being recreated, you can remember many things that happened in that world, and you can also immerse yourself in sentimentality. From the perspective of us SAo survivors, this world can be said to be a place worth remembering.

But, that's the one. This is a special place for SAo Survivors, and it is not a sanctuary that players other than SAo Survivors cannot visit. Now there are a lot of players in this world who don't know anything about SAo.

This is not SAo, but a new one based on SAo, just VRmmoRpG. While there can be no boundaries between SAo survivors and other survivors, there shouldn't be a line like that.

When Spiegel, who told me everything, looked up, something pushed up. The one that arises from the heart keeps rising and finally reaches the mouth. There was a big sigh.

"Spiegel, there's nothing like that."

"Huh?"

Shino smiled at Shupiger in a daze.

"Indeed, as you said, this is also a place where we can feel our respective memories. In our opinion, there are also many things to be missed. However, this is not all of them. This world only uses the backbone system and settings of SAo, and I am not rejecting you except for SAo Survivors. “

“！”

"Well, it's not like you didn't know that you had such an idea when you came in from ALo, but it's not like that either. You're not an outsider, Shupiger. ”

I gently placed my hand on the shoulder of the startled Shupigel. Shupiger stared at me in surprise.

"You are one of the partners who play the game with us. Don't sneak around behind your back, show your face in front of everyone. So let's party together and enjoy the world together as before. ”

Spiegel can't seem to stop being in a daze, and keeps looking at me and Shiina's affairs alternately with the same look. But soon, that face turned into a deeply reassuring smile.

"Can I play with everyone even if I'm only playing at ALo?"

"Of course, no one will treat you as an outsider. \"

It's not a guild or a team, but we're all together. There was no one else in it except the SAo survivors. As it is not in SAo, I do not do separation.

Perhaps it was conveyed to me that Shupiger's expression brightened suddenly, and his eyes flashed with a calm light.

"So, then I-"

"Ah, please take care of me here, too, Shupiger."

After saying that, Shinon smiled quietly, and Shupiger smiled and nodded.

What would become of Shino's stalker for a while, but it ended in a rather unexpected form.

It's hard to join us, Spiegel, who acts like a stalker, so that he can appear in front of us in a dignified manner.

The most important thing is to add Spiegel, who doesn't know anything about SAo, and the strategy will definitely become more interesting. When entering the party, it is essential to introduce the many SAos seen in Shupiger.

When I looked sideways at the relieved Shupiger and thought about it. Suddenly, Spiegel's gaze turned to a certain place and stopped moving.

I chased after it and looked, and there was the dark chocolate cake I had just finished.

"That's"

"Huh? Ah, this is the new cake of this shop. Aren't there ads when you log in? It's something written there. ”

"Black Black"

"Oh, yes, it should be black. But this, contrary to the black of the appearance, is delicious. You can also click on it if you can. ”

Spiegel, like I, must have been surprised by the black color of this cake. I ate the cake again and was once again surprised by the deliciousness that was the opposite of the appearance.

It was easy to imagine what it was like at that time, and I couldn't help laughing, so Spiegel whispered, "Ah! ”。

Suddenly remembering something, Shino and I were stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? Suddenly there was a sound like that. ”

"Because it's black, do you remember that both of you know the black blue cursor?"

In response to Spiegel's question, the two could only answer "Huh?" ”。

Of course, I know about the blue light cursor, but I have never heard of a system such as a black blue light cursor. Was it appended in an update in a closed beta test?

"A black blue cursor? What are you talking about? ”

Shino asked, and Shupigel told me the whole picture.

When Spiegel was hidden by us to log in to the game, I heard that the players confirmed the "black blue cursor" and "black blue cursor in black clothes".

Accordingly, the cursor turns blue, and the player in black haunts the course alone.

The biggest taboo in the world is the attack and killing of NPCs, as well as the abuse of "demons".

Break the "blue cursor" that commits the crime, and if the player cursor turns into a blue, all monsters and NPCs will become the highest priority targets when they appear on the field, and they will not enter the streets and villages.

I heard that there have been a few players who have intentionally attacked the NPC and the "Demon Maker", and have become this blue cursor, so they can't do it and can't come to this world. However, that was a long time ago, and lately I have not heard it at all.

So, the term blue cursor itself feels like it's been a long time coming.

Then there's Spiegel's story, and just listening to the phrase "blue cursor wrapped in black" makes me able to picture a character in my mind.

He has blood-red hair, is wrapped in black like me, and follows the Black Wolf Dragon, so he is called the "Black Dragon Swordsman", a man with stiff eyes.

The guy named Genesis, like me, has two people called "Black Dragon Swordsman" and messes around monsters and the player's opponents.

This Genesis used a very powerful weapon, but strangely enough about it. It is generally believed that the weapon of Genesis is the tail of the "demon", and if you don't cut off the tail of the "demon", you will be able to get it.

Weapons are supposed to be used because of the illustrious abuses involved, but Genesis does not turn into a blue cursor. The inconceivable phenomenon that the punishment that should be given is not punished, and we have not understood it for a long time.

However, after listening to Shupiger's words, I was finally relieved. Finally punish that guy. Blu-cursor is the worst punishment for this.

"I see, that guy is Genesis. The guy used his "demon" tail as a weapon. Although it was incredible not to turn into a blue cursor, it was finally punished. \"

It seems that I thought the same thing, Shino also sighed softly and said.

"Sure enough. That guy made the "demon" suffer a pitiful encounter and caused a lot of trouble for the other players as well. For some reason, he didn't turn into a blue cursor, but that time finally came. ”

"No, not him."

"Huh?"

Spiegel interrupted Shina's words and continued.

It is said that the existence of the "blue cursor in black clothes" that has been said among players is a female player who covers her whole body in black clothes, and even her head and face are covered with black outfits. It was the same two swords as me and Lilan, and while doing unusual movements, I was smashing away all the monsters and NPCs that came over as if I were doing it.

Take the material from the monster, take the weapon from the NPC, and let out a huge laugh that makes you feel creepy.

"What!?"

I could only be surprised by that.

Players who become the blue cursor only think about the fate of being expelled by the swarming monsters and the guard NPC hordes that guard the streets and villages, but the existence of overthrowing it and expelling it back in turn appears.

Moreover, while laughing and crusading against visitors, seizing materials and weapons for counter-use, you can only feel abnormal and crazy.

Genesis is also the one who suddenly starts laughing during the battle, wielding a big sword, and messing around wildly with the "demons", but the guy is still green, so he can enter the streets for supplies.

However, the blue cursor, which the player fell into the worst state of not being able to even enter the street for the sake of supplies, continued to fight, and carried out in the form of stripping off the monsters and NPCs that had never been supplied, so the mountain of monsters and guarding the corpses of the NPCs was built I can only say that this is more abnormal than Genesis.

"Isn't it weirder than Genesis? With a variety of vectors. ”

"Hunting NPCs are said to have been procuring weapons locally. So it's all Citi."

Shino looked at something unbelievable. On the other hand, Spiegel's expression also changed to remembering something he hated. I don't feel the atmosphere of lying at all.

"I didn't think it was a joke either, but I found out the last time I played. The whole body is as black as Kirito.,The monsters in that place of the second knife flow are all target-oriented people.。 If the monsters and NPCs come over, they will laugh and eat them all, and I will do my best. “

Although I usually plan to exercise my image, I can't imagine the appearance of the "blue cursor in black" that appears in Spiegel's words. I laughed happily in order to become a blue cursor, but monsters and NPCs have become scrap, etc., and there is a limit to how much you can deviate from the normal track.

I'm afraid, VRmmo that includes SAo is unheard of, that player.

"Question him, look at his name—"

Spiegel immediately shook his head at my question.

\"I'm too scared to come near you, how can you talk to me. \"

\"yes, I don't know how you're doing as soon as I get close. It's great that you found out about it, and it's safe and sound. \"

Shupiger whispered "um" and lowered his head. I guess I can vividly remember the madness and abnormality of that person now.

The "blue cursor in black suit" is abnormal when using the monsters and NPCs on the opposite side as bait——, but hunting an unimaginable number of monsters and battle NPCs has also gained the same unusual experience points, and the level of weapons used until the anomaly has increased to an abnormal level.

So if we try to get closer, we'll be eaten up right away, just like the monsters and NPCs around us. I don't have the name because I can't even get close to the information shop.

For what to turn into a blue cursor, for why monsters and NPCs have become a hammer. The purpose and idea are completely unimaginable, and there must be no understanding.
