Kirito picked up the fallen sword and stood up. The remaining amount of "hp bar" is a little uneasy. Although I want to use the recovery crystals again, I will definitely attack Sekmet in that gap.

For what purpose are you fighting, and by whom. The "Stygian Dragon", who had not found out the truth, suddenly turned red and kicked the ground and ran.

It was the moment when the distance between the black cat and the black cat reached about ten meters. Kirito let the two-handed sword stay in the light and change his posture. Then he aimed at the face of the approaching alien black cat-

"Don't let it!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and a dark and large shadow appeared in front of me.

The approaching black cat flew to the right with a roar, making a loud noise and smoke effect, rolling on the ground several times. It seems to have been collided with something big and heavy.

Although it was too sudden, because such things happened continuously, so the brain was not paralyzed, and Kirito turned his eyes forward. There was a big, white shadow there.

Speaking of the white giant shadow, it is the wolf dragon form of Lilan. Because Amimet was defeated, Lilan's restrictions were lifted, and she became a wolf dragon to help me.

However, Kirito was startled when he realized that the existence in front of him was not Lilan, and there was no sound.

“！！”

In front of me was a big cat.

It is decorated with a white cloth like a cloak, wrapped in a carapace like silver armor, and has wings of pure white energy running with patterns on its back. But its coat color is black, and behind its ears it grows obsidian-like colors, horns like cows.

With an aura reminiscent of the sun wheel floating on its head, and the tip of its tail shaped like the tip of a luxurious gun, it is a alien cat with a calm expression.

The resemblance to Sekmet but not the resemblance made Kirito look at it.

"What, what"

Cat that flew suddenly. I couldn't take my eyes off its figure and saw the name displayed above my head.

When I turned my gaze to the figure who was named after the god of Egyptian mythology, along with Sekhmet and Amit, I saw the figure.

This is a woman wearing a skirt and a white cloak draped deep over a white light dress of a familiar design to cover her face. It stepped over the back of the new black cat now.

"Hart Hall?"

Kirito muttered when he noticed.

During the battle, Sekmet unleashed his power and turned into a red-eyed strengthened state. While fighting Sekemet, who was also in a strengthened state with Anubis of Genesis, he impulsively attacked Kirito, but this was also incredibly suppressed.

Kirito, who temporarily suppressed his impulse, wanted to challenge Sekemet, but it happened in that instant.

Sekmet came here suddenly from heaven. Just like that time, suddenly a presence that broke into this place appeared and stood in front of Kirito.

It was a cat. But its size and shape are completely different from those of cats.

The body is about the same length as Lilan when she was in her wolf dragon form, and her body is surrounded by an armor-like carapace that is completely different from Sekmet's white clothes, but her coat is as black as Sekmet's, and she has horns like cows.

The wings that produce pure white energy from the back, the tail is like the tip of a gun, and the head produces a white aura like a sun ring, and it is an overly characteristic alien cat. It is similar to Sekemet who started the battle just now, and it is not similar to the cat dragon wake.

\"The one with the name "Hart Hall" is right in front of Kirito's eyes.

The cat dragon from nowhere attracted Kirito's attention, but to be precise, it was not the cat dragon, but his back.

Unlike the cat dragon Sekemet, who has no owner, Harthall rides his master on his back. It is a design that looks familiar as a whole, with a light suit like a skirt on the lower body and a large cape.

Because the cloak was worn so deeply, the face could not be seen, but the player, who knew that it was indeed a woman, straddled Harthall's back.

"What, what!?"

Kirito stood dumbfounded. I just wanted a sexy beautiful girl to turn into a red-eyed, but this time it's different from a sexy beautiful girl, Hart Hall, who is also a cat dragon, and "Beast Flavor" came together. It was so sudden, and Kirito, who was used to the arrival of sudden things until now, had to be at a loss.

Why did Harthall appear.

And who was that "beast" who summoned Harthall?

Just as questions were about to fill my mind, I heard Shino's voice across from Harthall.

"Liar, you were there at that time!?"

Shino's voice brought me back to my senses, and Kirito asked immediately.

"Shino, what the hell is that!?"

"This man—"

On the way, Shino's voice was crushed by a loud bang. Sekhmet, who confronted Harthall, roared with flashing red eyes.

The roar of the beast, which mixes the sounds of felines and dragons, destroys all the sounds that fill the place, attacking Kirito and others. The kiritos, who were attacked by a loud roar, immediately blocked their ears.

The current Sekemet is Lilan, who caused a rampage in Ain Clyde, and is Holo Avatar. The growl that came out of his throat was something that took the freedom of the confronting enemy - but Harthall and the "beast" straddling his back remained in a nonchalan posture until Sekmet's roar was over, and everything remained calm.

Just as Kirito and the others were back on their feet, Harthall ran towards Sekmet with his master on his back, waving his right hand menacingly. Perhaps because of the color, Harthall's physique looks slimmer and softer than Sekemet, and not as aggressive as Sekemet.

But Harthall's right hand, which had been thrown off, struck Sekhmet, and a very heavy thing roared like a collision, and Sekhmet let out a dull cry of grief and pain.

At first glance, it looks luxurious, and although Hart Hall seems to have no chance of it, it proves to have a definite attack power, and Kirito made a sound and was startled.

"It's hurtful to sexy!"

In the next moment, Sekhmet, who had been hit for the first time, barely stood up again, rolled saliva and purple fire from the corners of his mouth, and grabbed Harthall. However, before being caught by Sekmet, Harthall recoiled and distanced himself from Sekemet.

Sekmet did not kill the momentum, and fell directly to the ground, flapping his arms. The surface of the ground slammed by the red-eyed Sekmet surged, and the roar was accomplished, and the shattered earth and stones flew around like this.

Although Harthall was on the ray of the dirt that was flying out, he almost protected it from the white coat shell that almost flew over the gravel that flew over Harthall's body, like an armor-like carapace.

Sekemet, Anovis, Upou out. Like them, named after the gods in Egyptian mythology is Harthall. You must have the same status as them.

And even if he was attacked by Sekmet, he didn't move much, and another blow would bring a considerable blow to Sekemet, so Harthall's ability value all surpassed the current Lilan, close to Sekemet.

Although it is not known whether it is an enemy or a friend, from the point of view of fighting Sekmet, at least it is not hostile.

Perhaps realizing that Harthall looked the same as himself, but was stronger than himself, Sekhmet angrily unleashed a purple flame charge. Even though the highly poisonous flame grenade flew straight over, Harthall did not shy away.

After holding on that occasion and adopting a position that held the power, the wings of white energy that had been generated from Harthall's back suddenly became fat. Stretching forward and closing its wings as much as it could, Harthall built a wall of light between Sekmet and himself.

The purple flame projectile shattered as it slammed into the energy wing shield extending from Harthall's back. Although the purple flames were swept away, the flames did not reach Harthall. Of course, the "beer smell" on the back is also safe.

Defensive behavior using Energy Wings. Is there a way to use the Wings of Energy, which Sekmet also has?

Just when Kirito couldn't help but admire, Harthall's wings returned to their original shape. Sekmet was right in front of Harthall's eyes. Sekemet took advantage of the gap where Harthall could not be seen due to the explosion of the firebomb and prepared to take off.

Probably not expecting this attack, Harthall stopped in surprise, and the "beast" on his back suddenly raised his head.

Soon, Sekmet attacked Harthall with a tackle with all his might, and the roar and the screams of Harthall resounded all around.

Perhaps it wasn't enough to catch it, and the woman in white, who was clinging to Harthall's back, was thrown out and flew through the air - Kirito fell next to the premiere and hit the ground.

The pain suppression mechanism absorber female moaned softly.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Kirito ran to the woman's side at once. Get close to the side and put down a pose and say hello.

"Are you alright!?"

In the next moment, the woman turned to Kirito in surprise. Kirito and the face of the woman are opposite. Despite such a big impact, the white capes worn by the women tightly covered the women's faces.

Even so, it is only hidden on the nose, and the corners of the mouth can be confirmed.

The mouth of the female seen from there is slightly open. It opened up as if it was confused, as if it was surprised. Even after looking at the "hp bar", the amount remaining was only slightly reduced, so it was too unexpected to be thrown out of Harthall's back.

"Huh?"

I couldn't help but look at the corners of the woman's mouth, and Kirito noticed.

I seem to have seen this woman.

Although I only know the contours and the corners of my mouth, I do feel that I have seen this woman.

No, not the place to look.

Maybe even meet, even talk. I do know this woman.

When was that? At least in the world of VRmmo.

ALo or SAo. If it's SAo, how long has it been - while staring at the woman looking for the depths of her memory, a voice came to her ears, and Kirito came back to her senses.

I don't know when the premiere lined up next to the women.

"Well, are you helping us? \"

Women were taken aback by the premiere. Since just now, I and this woman have been surprised and confused. But it is not the time to care about such a thing.

I do know about this woman. Then this woman must be the same. Although it is only a little bit judging from the appearance at the moment, if you can hear the voice, you may be able to remember more details.

"Ahh Where have you seen me? “

“！”

"I'm sorry if I recognized the wrong person. But I always feel like I've seen you—"

Although the women did not answer, the prime minister reacted by asking the women questions.

"Do you know Kirito? Did you help me because you knew Kirito? ”

The woman clasped her hands together on her chest and squeaked back. I want to convey something hesitant like an action. Or the look of something you don't want to be understood. Apparently not hating yourself.

Sure enough, the woman must have had something in mind - Kirito greeted the woman as he approached gently.

"You, you-"

In the next moment, a loud voice came from the other side of the hall. Looking back as if invited, two black cats were flying in the air. Sekmet flies with wings that generate energy from his back, followed by Harthall.

Created an extraordinary sight of two cats running with the energy wings of the pattern flying in the air.

What are the two going to do—Kirito thought, and Sekmet lunged at Harthall. Harthall dodged this and unleashed a dash attack that was almost called a counter-attack. The two of them responded in this way as they ascended—and just disappeared into the air.

"Hey, hey, hey!?"

Kirito's eyes widened, startled. Sekhmet showed no signs of returning. Although he managed to repel Sekhmet for the time being, even the fighting Harthall was gone.

Obviously, there is a master here.

"Harthall is gone."

The premiere was also a bit of a daze, looking at the sky. The "beast's tail" being left behind by the "demon" is unheard of.

No, if it were oneself, it wouldn't be uncommon for it to become like this, but this is because the "demon" is an extremely special existence of Lilan, and if it were an ordinary "demon", the situation that would never happen would not change.

Because of that state of affairs, the reaction to the premiere was also natural.

"Kirito, premiere!"

When I looked at the sky blankly, I heard two footsteps. Shino and Lilan came running. Although they were involved in the battle between Amit and Sekemet, perhaps because of Harthall's break-in, the losses of the two were kept to a minimum.

Kirito responded to the two approaching people while reassuring.

"Are you two alright?"

Shino responded to Kirito's appeal with a signal of raising her palm. Soon, Shino turns her face to the abandoned woman. That face became rather steep.

"You're not going to be here, are you?"

When the woman came here with Harthall, it was Shino who reacted first.

I think Shino must have known something, but I couldn't understand it at all because of the battle between Harthall and Sekemet.

Kirito who remembered asked Shino not about women.

"Shina, who the hell is this person? Do you know what it is? ”

"I know, everything is this person. This man told me about this task. ”

Kirito and Lilan are surprised. It is said that Shino received this task from a mysterious woman. I don't know if it's an information store or not, and although Shino doesn't know, Shino's thing is unilaterally known, a woman in white.

"Uh-huh"

The woman who had said goodbye to Shino stood up and began to slowly step back. Although the throat makes a sound, it is small and difficult to understand. It seemed that it was intended to make such a sound, and Kiriti had doubts in his heart.

"What the hell are you? How do you know Shino? Why was Shino given a task? ”

"Why did you come to the place where we fought? And with the "demon". And I haven't heard your name all the time. What the hell are you talking about? \"

Finally, when Shino was swarming, the woman moved her right hand, called the window, and clicked a few buttons.

Operate the action on the lower side in the menu window - Kirito was surprised to see this. This is the logout command. At that time, the light of the write-off surrounds the female body.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute! What the hell are you!? ”

When I can't help but reach out to women. Kirito's mind flashed.

It wasn't as clear as it had been until now, but something so vague that you couldn't even grasp the whole picture. I've reached out to something like this before.

I stretched out my hand, but I didn't know what it was facing. It's just that this is a flashback that only after such an experience.

I can't remember when it happened. No, there is no such surplus.

The light which I was used to seeing enveloped the woman's body at a stretch. As the light spreads to the upper body of the woman, her mouth slightly reveals her movements, and the words are woven out.

"Ma Na Kirito"

After hearing the last sentence, Kirito's eyes widened and froze.

The female body is surrounded by white light and disappears from the eye circles.

On that occasion, silence and silence were restored.

The wind was blowing, and listening to the sound of plants and water swaying, Kirito stood up.

Before disappearing, the woman said.

- And Kirito.

It's not that I heard it wrong.

Indeed, women clearly say their names, the word Kirito.

I don't know about women. But I've seen women, and I feel like I've spoken.

But I don't know who it is, I can't remember it yet.

I don't think if I tried to ask women, I wouldn't have told me the answer, but I guessed right.

Women now know their own business.

Not only do I know about Shina, but I also know my own business.

Sure enough, where we met.

However, the answer given by the woman is nothing more, and there is not even a hint of anything else. The name I wanted to know disappeared before I could ask for it.

Just like she was dumped by the "demon", Kirito also felt dumped by her.

After about ten seconds of that, Kirito finally returned to me.

"What the hell was that? He seems to have joined us in helping."

"I don't know. I left without letting me know anything.

But I feel as if I've seen that person."

It was Shino who reacted to that sentence. Shino walked into Kirito's eyes and met his eyes.

"Do you know that person? He said it was someone you knew. ”

"No, I just think we've met. Maybe you haven't seen it. It always feels a little weird. However, the other party seems to know my name. Called me before it disappeared."

"I know your name, you are indeed called the 'Black Dragon Swordsman', you should be a celebrity"

Obviously, listening to such words is not to understand the name and the appearance of existence. I had really met and spoken to myself - that woman felt that way. But no matter how you think about it, Kirito doesn't have such a figure in his mind.

"I'll start by asking everyone about that person. And that person seems to have arrived in the midst of our crisis, and maybe there will be a chance to meet again. I'll listen to him then. ”

"I'll investigate with Yui and Streya. All in all, it really helped us, so there was no need to be vigilant. If there's anything that can be done now, that's it. ”

Kirito nodded to Lilan who said this.

The woman took Harthall and attacked Sekemet, and although something unthinkable happened in the end, she repelled Sekemet. And in the end, I didn't see a sinister look like Genesis.

Although Sekhmet was as unclear as his master about his intentions, he did help us and it can be said that there was no need to be vigilant.

Summing up the thoughts in his head, Kirito said.

"yes. Next time we meet, thank you for today's gift. ”

With that, all three of them nodded. After seeing the scene, Kirito turned to Shino.

"That Shina. How's the mission? Amit was knocked down by Sekemet"

"Ah, I see. Hmmm"

I remembered, Shino opened the window. Confirmation of the progress of the mission. Peeking from the side, it reads "Get the props of the gods enshrined on the altar".

It seems that even if Sekemet defeated Amit, the mission went on as normal.

Follow the guide of the window and look into the deepest part of the square and see what glows on the altar. It reminds me of the altar that I got while doing the premiere quest to sacrifice the "Holy Stone", but it's simpler than that.

Kirito kept an eye on his surroundings as he walked towards the altar with the three of them. The stone pillars are placed on the altars that are regularly arranged around them - white gold bracelets.

"Ahh

"Is this a bracelet?"

Shino put Kirito next to him, who tilted his head, and picked up the bracelet on the altar. Immediately after the premiere, Shino was asked.

"Is Shino looking for that bracelet?"

"Ah, yes. I'm looking for something like this."

"Is that so?"

Regarding Shino's appearance and language, Kirito tilted his head more and more. Shino said, "I'm not looking for this," but "I'm looking for this." I don't know what kind of intention there was to advance this task, and I got the project.

I'm going to understand Shino's thoughts to some extent, but that's not the case this time.

Shino turned to Kirito like that, slowly approached, and immediately stopped in front of him.

"Kirito, can you take your right hand out?"

"Huh?"

\"It's okay, I want you to stretch out your right hand. \"

Kirito said "Ah" and held out his right hand. Shino grabbed Kirito's right hand with both hands and gently rolled up the cuffs - tucking the bracelet that had just arrived in her hand in.

When he heard the metal crack, Kirito couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

"Huh, Shino!?"

Kirito hurriedly removed his right hand from Shiina's body and stared at his wrist. On the neck of the right hand, where there is nothing, there is a white gold bracelet with a pure white jade in the center and an intricate pattern engraved with it.

There is no doubt that this is the item that Shino deserves in this mission. Why is this buried in his right hand.

Shino looked at Kirito, who was a little flustered, with an inquiring expression.

"How does it feel to wear it?"

"The feeling of wearing it, isn't that what you said you wanted?"

"yes, because I want it for you, I want something."

"Huh?"

Shino grabbed the frightened Kirito's right hand again, and wrapped it gently with her own hands. Neither VR nor reality will change, only the warmth that Shino has slowly spreads to the right hand.

"I've been looking for a talisman in this world, a talisman to protect you"

"Amulet?"

Kirito was taken aback.

By the way, whether it's the real world or ALo, his right hand and neck are stuffed with bracelets. Shino gave me a talisman to help me when I was in pain.

Yesterday, before being consumed by impulses, Kirito also searched for this amulet, staring at his right hand. But there is nothing there.

Perhaps because of this, Kirito suddenly became willless and became a vessel of the Cardina Defense Agency, the Void Avatar.

"When in this world, you don't have an amulet. So, I've been looking for something to be a talisman, but I can't find it at all. Even if it is discovered, it is very difficult to find out that it has no effect. It's not a good idea to go to the jewelry store with Yui. ”“

I've seen Shino and Yui go to the jewelry store together. Although it didn't tell me what you were after, I didn't expect it to be a talisman for yourself.

"But, I think that's fine. Because it's very similar to the amulet you wear in reality, it seems to work very well. How's that, Kirito? ”

Kirito, who was said by Shino, stared at the amulet motionlessly.

The one made of white gold has an intricate pattern engraved on it, and it has an atmosphere similar to that of a bracelet worn in the real world. Although there is also a difference in the center of the white jade, I don't care too much.

Rather, looking at the treasure jade and the pattern, you can feel a great and warm sense of well-being—something like what you feel when you see the amulet in reality.

Even if it is said that the amulet in reality is something that comes to participate in a bicycle race, there is no sense of incongruity.

"Ah, it's very similar to what you wear in reality. It's just wonderful. ”

"If something like yesterday happens, be strong when you see that. Because I don't know how strong Cardina's defense apparatus is, maybe it's useless"

Kirito was a little surprised. What Elise said to me should only be known to those present.

"Have you heard, Dr. Elis?"

"Well, sneak a peek from the second floor. Cardina is strong, I may not be able to win but I still want to be your strength"

Kirito stared at the sparkle of the bracelet on his right wrist again. It is a warm light emitted by the amulet worn in reality.

If I'm about to be swallowed up by Cardina's defense mechanism in the future, I can make a big move if I have this amulet—I don't know if I haven't done it yet, but the light emitted by the amulet really makes me feel that way.

Kirito took a deep breath and turned to Shino.

"Thank you, Shino. With that, I feel like I can beat Cardina too. ”

"Really?"

"Ah, it was the amulet you gave me. Your amulet has always helped me. So, with this it's no problem. Thank you so much, Shino. ”

After conveying all the things she wanted, Shino's cheeks were dyed cherry blossom and she smiled. The warmth from his right hand grew even greater—he always felt that the amulet itself contained that warmth.

After a while, when Shino let go of that hand, Kirito's right hand that was let go was caught again. Turning his gaze in a slightly surprised manner, this premiere wrapped Kirito's right hand with his hands.

"Ah, the premiere?"

The prime minister did not answer anything, and quietly closed his eyes. As if praying to the sacred stone, the three of them couldn't help but keep their mouths shut. And when the pupils of the premiere were opened again, Kirito retrieved the words and asked.

"Premiere, now is"

"I prayed."

"Huh?"

"I pray that you can protect Kirito from that kind of thing. In this case, the power of the amulet should become stronger. ”

Although the expression at the premiere was stronger than ever, Kirito was a little confused. The premiere seemed to be a prayer for me, but I don't think anything has changed in the bracelet and I don't feel anything in my body.

I'm afraid it's an economic recovery, or a spiritual recovery.

"Kirito, how are my prayers?"

Kirito gently placed his left hand on the head of the premiere who had come to inquire. Just like that, slowly and gently stroked, the premiere was in a daze.

"Thank you, Premiere. Thanks to the overlap between Shino's thoughts and yours, this amulet seems to have become stronger. ”

"Really?"

"Ah, that's no problem with that. And, thank you for your help at that time, the premiere. Thanks to you, I didn't become like that. Thank you for your protection. ”

Saying this, the premiere laughed happily. Looking at that smile, it seems that he will forget the little nasty things, but Kirito can't stop thinking about what happened just now.

When he was almost consumed by the impulse in the Sekemet battle, the impulse suddenly subsided even after touching the premiere. Obviously, I can only think that the premiere calmed the impulse.

What did I do at the premiere at that time.

What is the true face of that needs to be investigated in detail. Kirito thought about this as he stroked the premiere's head.

"Hehe, did the premiere let you?"

Kirito, Shino, Lilan, and the Prime Minister arrived at a room in the "Beginning Street" Grand Inn.

Reporting to the NPC of the "Beginning Street", after completing the mission, Kirito contacted Elise first. Because I wanted to discuss what happened during the premiere and the battle of Sekemet.

Perhaps because of the time, Elise was still logged into the "SAo" and got in touch. Elise replied, "I will listen to you, and you will come to the Great Inn." ”。

Elise is in the corner of a large inn bustling with many adventurers, and as soon as he finds Kirito, they tell him, "I'm securing the room." The premiere and the words about it were not good for other players to listen to, but if it spread, it could become a big problem.

Once again, Kirito followed Elis's instructions and went to a room that Elise had secured.

When she got to the room, Elise thought she would sit in a chair, but leaned against the wall near the table and listened. Just like when listening to the story in the church of the "Beginning Street" on the first floor of Einclyde, Kirito felt incredulous as he sat down with three people and explained the situation to Elis.

When faced with a mission, he was attacked by a "demon" called "Demon".

Sexy and not even "beast style", but turned into red eyes.

The thing that was attacked by the impulse of the virtual avatar, and the premiere suppressed it.

Then the thing that Hart Hall cat dragon wake was saved by the mysterious "beast" that it carried, all.

Because almost all of them were said, it became quite long, but Elis didn't change anything and listened to Kirito.

"Is the appearance of a cat dragon like Sekmette a calming of the Cardina defense agency at the premiere?"

"Yes. We've also been attacked by Sekemet before. Is there any clue to the fact that Mr. Elise was repelled because of the injury at that time? ”

Elise let out a deep sigh. Just open your hands like that.

"I'm going to know a lot of things, but after all, I didn't notice that kind of 'demon'. I don't know what that sex appeal is, everyone is a 'demon'.

To put it bluntly, Sekhmet is the name of the goddess of disaster and death that appears in Egyptian mythology"

The book that explains the original Egyptian mythology is also almost understandable through the memory of the reader Shino / Shino, and how Sekmet exists.

And Elis's reaction was expected. Even the most knowledgeable Elis could not have known the story of Sekhmet and his "beast". Because it's not an intelligence store.

"Sure enough, Mr. Elise doesn't know. It seems that the login time is also very small. ”

"However, if it is the system of this world, I always feel that some things are understandable. Kirito, do you know that the "demon" acts alone? ”

Elis explained to the sluggish Kirito.

The "Beast Tail" of "Beast Tail" is a being equipped with a high level of AI, and when it acts at the behest of "Beast Tail", it sometimes exhibits intelligence and actions that ordinary monsters cannot imagine.

If such a "demon" is cultivated in this world, the "demon" will leave the side of the "beast style" and can go to the stadium alone, where you can explore maps and items.

Hearing Elise's words, Kirito couldn't help but amplify his voice and was startled.

"Can you let the demons act alone? ”

"yes. Your Lillane there has been like that from the beginning. Solo "Demons" can go to the stadium to collect items, but they can also fight on their own. From here, it can be seen that Sekmet attacked Kirito you in a solitary operation. “

"But why attack us? What do you say Sekmet 'smells of the beast' are trying to make Sekmet go it alone? ”

Shino's question is something that Kirito also thinks of. What is the reason for Sekhmet to attack himself alone? What is the purpose of doing something like that.

There's no way I've ever known that answer—Elis shook his head.

"I don't know. However, if Sekemet attacks Kirito twice, it is clear that Sekemet's owner intended to attack Kirito. ”

Kirito remembered his own evaluation.

Two celebrities who were once known as the "Black Dragon Swordsmen" in Ain Clyde are also considered to be the two celebrities of the "Black Dragon Swordsmen" in this Ain round.

Because of the attention of the players, it is not surprising that some of them are nosy, but Sekemet's attack is not at the level that can be solved with meddlesomeness.

There is clearly a clear hostility and a will to fight. This feeling is often felt from Sekmet. Sekhmet must have attacked with his master's hostility and war intent against him.

When it comes to people who have clear hostility and war intentions towards them, the first thing that comes to mind is Genesis, who has the same two "Black Dragon Swordsmen". However, because Genesis has a "demon" called Anubis, there is zero chance that Genesis is the owner of Sexmet.

Knowing that, more and more Kirito didn't know about Sekemet's master.

"What did the owner who attacked me Sekemet and Sekemet do such a thing"

"However, the frequency is not that much, so think about this first. The biggest problem is the premiere. ”

With that, Elise turned his gaze to the premiere sitting at the table. Similarly, Kirito turned his attention to the premiere.

By the way, the mystery that needs to be solved the most is the premiere. During the battle with Sekhmet, when Sekhmet was red-eyed, Kirito was attacked by the "impulse".

I thought it would be swallowed up like this and become a container, but I came into contact with Kirito at the premiere there. As a result, the "impulse" to swallow Kirito disappeared and was avoided by the container of the Cardina Defense Agency.

I didn't know why that happened at that time, and I didn't have time to ask in detail.

Elis walked towards the dazed premiere and walked to the side of the curved riverbed to put his eyes at the same height as the premiere.

"At the premiere, I heard that Kirito became dangerous during the fight with Sekemet. But, is it true that you heard that you put it away? ”

The premiere nodded without hesitation. I opened that mouth right away.

"Yes, it seems like Kirito's becoming like that again. I hate that, so"

"So, I saved Kirito. Oh, yes. ”

In response to Elise, the premiere nodded again.

Indeed, at that time, the premiere showed more desperate action than ever. Thus, Kirito was not engulfed by Cardina's defense apparatus, but was completely unaware of its mechanism.

As if representing Kirito's question, Elis asks about the premiere.

"Premiere, don't you remember what you did? Maybe your actions will be the way to save Kirito in the future. If you can tell me, I hope you can tell me. ”

The premiere left people speechless. The face faded downward.

At that time, Kirito asked what the premiere had done, and the premiere did not give him an answer. No, although I answered, I didn't know what I did.

"I don't know, why I did that, why I did that, I don't know."

The premiere looked up. Elis's gaze crossed with the gaze of the premiere, and each other's pupils were projected into each other's postures.

"I've heard that Elise is very sensible, please tell me, Elis, what did I do at that time?"

Elise wasn't on that scene, nor was it something that understood the premiere. So even if you ask, you won't get a satisfactory answer, that's true, but the eyes of the premiere are lodged with the light of earnestness itself.

After staring at the light for a few seconds, Elise let out a deep sigh.

"How could you possibly know? \"

Elise wasn't saying anything for the premiere. But the reaction to the premiere was a bit of a surprise.

"Huh, don't you understand? \"

"How can I understand something that even you can't understand. If you don't understand, I don't understand either. ”

The premiere shrugged in frustration. He knew exactly that he hadn't heard a satisfactory answer.

Elise placed her hand on her shoulder.

"But I know one thing. You were desperate to save Kirito at the time, so you don't understand anything else. ”

"Huh? Ah, yes. I don't know anything other than wanting to help Kirito. \"

"It's called selflessness. I can't say anything in detail, but you were obsessed with helping Kirito at the time. ”

The premiere continues in a daze.

"Choke"

"Yes, you were saved by the obsessed you, so your obsession has the power to help you. At the very least, you should understand that. ”

"My martial arts saved Kirito, my martial arts saved Kirito"

"yes. Kirito will definitely be in danger in the future. So at that time, you will help Kirito selflessly. It's okay after careful consideration. Right? ”

Elise said in a tone and tone that seemed to be the mother of the premiere. The opposite premiere was silent for a while, staring at Elis, and before long, his expression changed to a calm smile. - It's like a child who learns from his mother.

\"I see. My chest can help Kirito. Therefore, in the future, when Kirito is in danger, I will also use the "strength of the chest" to help Kirito. \"

\"That's it, Kirito-kun needs your strength. \"

The premiere nodded again, and Elise took that hand off the premiere's shoulder. The premiere began with a greeting to Shino and Lilan, who were next to her.

Elise and the premiere's conversation. It looked like a real father-son conversation, but it wasn't something that could be swallowed up instantly.

Presumably Elise left the premiere, Kirito approached Elise and whispered a conversation.

"Mr. Elise, I'm not sure yet, so I'll tell the premiere about it"

"Are you sure? Aren't you convinced? ”

"Huh?"

Elise whispered to Kirito who was in a daze like the premiere just now. The premiere and the rest of the girls didn't notice.

"You were almost engulfed by the defense apparatus in Cardina in the fight with Sekemet, but the Prime Minister stopped that. This is the prime minister impeaching Cardina's defense apparatus. That is, the Prime Minister, that daughter interferes with the power of Cardina, or such an opportunity. ”“

"The Prime Minister can interfere with the Cardina system!?"

It's a surprising story. The premiere is one of the NPCs living in this world. Moreover, the "Sword Art Online" is controlled and dominated by the Cardina system, and no one can disobey the Cardina system, nor can they resist the Cardina system.

The action of the Cardina system, which is supposed to be the absolute dominator, could not be prevented by the premiere of the NPC of only one person.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Possibly, she's actually done it. In that case, she would only have to interfere with the Cardina system. The setting is 'empty', and there are a lot of things I can't understand, but I haven't been able to read that I can even do something like that. “

Prime has had all sorts of problems since before, as well as bugs and specs that other NPCs couldn't imagine. Although it has now been eliminated to some extent, it is not known why it has become like this now. And there again the incomprehensible was added this time.

What's more, the premiere becomes an incomprehensible existence - Kirito can only think so. Elise looked sideways at the Kirito, making his arms.

"The question is why it turned out to be like this, why did such a thing come to the premiere, it seems more complicated than expected. I have to stand on the console. ”

"Console? Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes. In order for operators and developers to see the content of this game from this game, a dedicated console has been set up. It's like when I was SAo. ”

At SAo, in the deepest part of the underground labyrinth on the first floor, there was a console that Yuida's "mhcp" and Lilanda's "mhhp" could use. If that's something important in game development, it's not surprising to set it up in this world.

And that's what Elise said, so it's true.

"If you go to the console of this world, maybe you'll know something. When looking for her "sacred stone", it's best to stop by and look for it. After all, I think it's clumsy to know nothing about her. ”

I agree with Elis's words. The task of the premiere is ongoing, and the premiere itself is growing, but it is not without problems, and this time it is clear that there is an unknown force.

The premiere with such an incredible element is extremely irregular from the perspective of operation. If the premiere is caught in the operation, the worst may be removed from the process.

In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to shed light on what the premiere has. It is necessary to find out what Elise said about the console.

"Okay, I'll tell you first, I'll look for it."

"It's better. If you find it, let my daughters go with me. If it's them, you can access the console and get all sorts of information. And—"

As soon as he was about to speak, Elise turned to Kirito.

"As I said earlier, the Prime Minister has the ability to prevent the defense apparatus in Cardina. So Kirito, it's best to act with the prime minister in the future. If it were her, she would definitely protect Cardina from you. ”

It's true that we've been spending time with the premiere until now, and we've been doing a lot of things.

But when a dangerous battle was about to take place, I didn't take him with me. For the premiere, the world is a game of death, and the total loss of "HP Bar" is connected to death.

In order to keep her away from the danger of death, she will definitely not be together all the time, and she will shake her head even if she is said at the premiere.

"That's too dangerous. For her to go to dangerous battles"

"Yes, this is a dangerous act related to death. However, when engulfed by Cardina's defense apparatus, you are in a state of near-danger of death. If you become a container for the Cardina Defense Agency, you will be close to death. ”

“”

"The premiere was an attempt to prevent that from happening. I want to protect you from Cardina. Here it is better to prioritize her will. It's good for you as well as for her. Exactly. "Win elbow - yes win elbow isn't it?"

I couldn't argue with Elis's words.

The premiere has always said that it wants to protect itself, and now it also shows several actions to do so. There is a strong will in her. No matter how dangerous the exposure is, she has thoughts that want to protect herself.

I don't want to rule it out.

"Although the premiere thing had to be adhered to, it was the same so far. The premiere was so lovely daughter, please respect what she meant. This is my request. ”

Until now, I have been fighting to protect the life of the premiere. It hasn't failed until now. If we continue to fight like we did before, we will definitely make it to the end. There is power for this, and it can be improved if necessary.

My mission is to protect Shino, but only when I'm in this world, I'll include the premiere in it—Kirito, who was thinking in his heart, stared into Elis's eyes and nodded.

"I see, but you have to help me with that. \"

"Ah, for that girl. I also want to use my strength to the fullest. For her to have 'infinite power'. And you also carry the amulet that Shino gave you. I guess it doesn't matter even if there is no premiere power. ”

With that, Elise turned to the premiere. Kirito turned his gaze to his right hand. The bracelet that Shino gave me was bathed in light and sparkling.

Thanks to the power of the premiere, I was saved at that time, but I couldn't let the premiere help me so many times, and I didn't have that intention.

I have the blessing of the amulet. Basically something has to be done with this. While thinking like this, I looked at the amulet, and I felt that the meaning became stronger.

After that, Kirito remembered the next thing to talk to him.

"So, Mr. Elis, someone saved me during the battle with Sekemet."

Elise reacted suddenly, turning to Kirito.

"Anyone?"

Kirito nodded again, and said about the cat dragon that appeared during the Sekemet battle, and the "beast" that manipulated Harthall. Elise listened to that, nodded her head repeatedly, and opened her mouth when she had finished speaking.

"Hehe, did you save your 'beast smell'? And is that also manipulating the same cat dragon as Sexmet? \"

"Yes. Disappeared without telling me my name or anything. However, I felt as if I knew something about that person. Felt like I had seen it somewhere before."

\"Can't remember that person? \"

"Yes, I remember, but I still can't remember that Mr. Elise doesn't know what?"

Elise spread his palms again. This was the action Kirito had envisioned.

"Hey, I'm not understanding your past. Even if you are asked something like that, you can't answer it. And if I was asked if you knew anyone like that, I wouldn't answer. ”

"That's exactly what happened."

"In that case, you can ask Argo. But if that person obviously helped you, I think you'd be my friend. Isn't it just strange enemies? ”

Indeed, that woman did help us. Then it seems that he knows his own business. As Elise said, you can think of that woman as a partner.

But the woman is also as full of mystery as the premiere. If you can meet this time, you must ask for the name to confirm.

Just as he was thinking this, the premiere stood up from his seat. I walked steadily and came to Kirito.

"Kirito, I'll be with you in the future. When Kirito is in danger again, I will use my strength to help you. I will use my power to protect Kirito. ”

"Huh?"

Kirito couldn't help but be stunned.

The Prime Minister must have intended to help me even if he was about to be swallowed up by Cardina's defense apparatus, as he had just done. Although I was talking about the power used at the time, I thought it was called "infinite power", so I remembered it.

I don't know the name of that power, but what about the name "Infinite Power"?

"At the premiere, there was no 'infinite power' at all. The so-called 'selfless dream' is, in the final analysis, your state at that time. ”

"Yes, I was listless at that time, so I used my strength, so that power is 'listless power.'"

"Yes, that's true, but it's called 'infinite power.'

Kirito turned to Elise with a frown. Elise laughed like a prank. Speaking of which, it was Elis who taught the premiere something like selflessness. Maybe there was nothing wrong with the teaching method, but the premiere was clearly wrong.

"Hey, Mr. Elise, what's wrong with the premiere?"

"I guess I'm not mistaken, I don't know the name of the power she has. But the name is necessary. So isn't it enough to use 'infinite power'? ”

"Not good!"

"Prime Minister, Kirito needs your strength. In the future, I will also use my strength to protect Kirito. ”

The premiere who was said nodded and replied \"'The power of the chest\"! \"。 I knew it by that name completely.

Kirito, Shino, and Lilan all smiled bitterly in frustration, and Elise burst out laughing.

However, Shino noticed that Elise was walking towards the exit right after.

"Teacher Elis, where are you?"

Elise turned her face up, turned slightly, and looked sideways. Kirito thought the kind of movement he had seen in his previous video works was incredible, and Elise replied.

"I finally landed in this world with a lovely daughter. Occasionally, I want to do something like a mother to my daughters. The rest of the daughters had to do the same. “

Elise stopped adjusting upwards and turned his body well.

"And Shino, Lilan. Later, let's go to the hot springs they found in Asna. Of course, other girls are also invited. Let's chat and fashion while soaking in the hot water. ”

"Ah, well, I'd like to talk to Dr. Elis, too."

"If it's a hot spring, I'm in favor of it. Let's socialize with what you said about mother-like things. ”

"yes. Then let's say hello to the girls with the daughters. ”

Elise nodded a few times, then turned his face to Kirito. Again with a mischievous grin.

"Kirito, what are you going to do? Are you going to bathe with us? ”

"What, what are you talking about!? I'm not going to do that! ”

Indeed, after Shino's memories entered his heart, he thought and felt less about such things as women's bodies.

Therefore, if you want to do it and bathe with the girls, you can't help but do anything, what will the other girls think?

"Please, let's enjoy the hot springs with the girls. I'll wait for you. ”

"That's right. Then there is no way, when you get to the hot spring, you can take a bath in the area where the man is forbidden. However, I'll ask Asna to bring Yupitel here, how about you too? ”

"If that's the case, I'll do it with you. Please don't do anything else. ”

Truth be told, Elise chuckled again and walked out of the inn. Always feeling that the storm had passed, Kirito let out a deep sigh.

Out of the inn Elis walked in the business district.

On the way here, I opened a window to check the list of friends, and found that most of the girls, including my daughters, had logged in.

Although they are scattered in various places, it is easy to gather around this street because it conveys information. Girls can log in, and today seems to be a pretty good time to log in.

"Hmph."

While thinking about that kind of thing, I thought of Elise in the corner of my mind. Kirito told an interesting story just now.

No, Kirito their stories are always interesting, but only today stands out and is interesting. One of the most interesting is the story of a woman.

As soon as I think of that incident, the corners of my mouth will rise.

"I didn't expect to be able to do that. It seems like a considerable step has been taken. ”

I was talking to myself unconsciously, but there was nothing like what the players around me were listening to. No, even if you listen to it, you won't understand that meaning. Players, since the time of SAo, there is only such a thing.

However, the female players who help Kirito are different. I thought so from the beginning, but that reading didn't deviate. As expected.

So, what would be the next move? I'd like to ask you to tell me if I can, but can't that either? Also, I think the name should tell you that it seems like we will go further. ”

I was going to say it a little bigger, but the players around me didn't hear it. But you shouldn't just talk to yourself in such a strange way. Elise, who was aware of it, sighed through her nose and turned forward.

"Great! Finally made it for me! ”

At that moment, a familiar voice came from a little farther away. Looking back, there is a café. This is a café located on the north side of the observatory in the "Start Street" shopping street area.

I was obsessed with thinking, and I didn't know when I came to the observation deck.

Doing something bad - despite thinking so, Elise stared at the café with the sound. Lots of tables and chairs are set up, and there are quite a few players sitting there, each enjoying conversation and coffee time.

Among them, two players stand out.

A girl with long purple hair and a red ribbon, and a purple color that is different from her hair, she wraps her body in clothes of light design.

Sitting opposite this is a young man with black and green tones, a costume with a mixed design of clothing and kimono, and blue eyes.

"That's"

I met when I was in SAo.,A powerful swordsman girl who lives with Asna and Yupiter.,A good friend of Kirito who met in ALo.。
