"Great! Finally made it for me! ”

The girl in front of her said this, very happy.

Calamus iris has long hair of such a color, tied with a red ribbon. The costume differs from the hair in a purple light outfit, and bright red eyes that are a little large are characteristic.

The characteristics of the girl have been looking at since before she came into this world. I thought there would be a lot of change when I came into this world, but when I came to this world, the appearance of this girl almost did not change.

However, this girl has not yet realized that she can feel at ease when she confirms this.

Look at the girl's happy face like a little boy - Cam holds her cheeks.

"You look happy, Yuko."

"Of course! Because I can finally drink the drink I want. Because it's a "honey drink", right? Judging by the name, it feels delicious! ”

"Indeed, it's not that feeling that way. However, in order to drink this, I had to do the task. ”

Yuki said "yes" and turned in the direction of the store.

I logged in a little earlier than usual today. That incident was also told to Yuki in advance - not so much as this, but Yuki said that he wanted to log in early, just to cooperate with that - so, the two of them came to this world earlier than usual.

After leaving the large inn of the "starting street", he immediately went to the quest board and accepted a hunting mission to fight monsters according to Yuki's request. The two went to the stadium together and enjoyed the battle with the monsters.

After completing the task, the two who felt thirsty came to the coffee shop and ordered a drink. However, one more thing happened there. Yuki ordered "Honey Drink", and when Yuki said the name, a mission sign appeared on the coffee shop clerk's head. A completely unexpected mission began.

After listening to it, I ran out of honey in the "Honey Drink" and could not provide the "Honey Drink", but if I prepared this honey, the "Honey Drink" would be provided free of charge at that time.

Because it was already after fighting a lot in the mission, Kem was not interested at all, but on the other hand, Yuki's spirit and login did not change at all, and he accepted the mission that happened without authorization. I declare that I am going to find honey for the "honey drink".

With that, Yuki took Keim's hand back to the court and began his quest for honey. Kem, who was not interested at all, wanted to say something, but for some reason didn't want to say it, and explored the purpose project with Yuki.

Fifteen minutes or so into the exploration, the object was discovered, but by that time Kem was exhausted. Ariki also ran around, but his spirit did not change at all, and as soon as he found the item, he took Kem's hand again and returned to the "street where it began" and returned to the café where he was his destination.

Tired Kem and others don't mind the coming and going of the stadium and the streets. Although it has always been known that female students are tossed with men, if they are tossed to this extent, they will have a dislike and sarcasm for the flowing stones.

Kem picked up the menu sheet that had been placed nearby, spread it out and looked at the contents. From coffee to cocoa, there are several menus that can be seen in real coffee chains. Among them, there is also a figure of Hanibi drink that Yuki wants to drink.

"But it's a pleasure. It doesn't matter if it's not a honey drink. The matcha cream latte and the like here don't seem to have changed much. ”

"There's nothing like that. It is said that the taste of honey and matcha is not the same. ”

"Yuki wants to drink sweet. In that case, you can add a few syrups to the coffee system to make something sweet enough. Wouldn't it be nice not to be stuck with everything and need to carry a drink between tasks? ”

Having said such things, Yuki always protests like a child. This is exactly what happened this time, and a sudden protest was raised.

"That's not tasty! I want to drink a sweet and delicious drink! I want to drink it anyway! ”

“”

Kem stared intently at the angry snow's face.

Yuko's eyes are slightly larger than other girls and are always round, which is her characteristic. The expression is always full of joy, anger and sorrow, and it clearly conveys what kind of feelings he has. In my opinion, the subtle changes are also very clear.

Whatever is clearly expressed, the face that cannot be hidden and the several expressions it creates.

Although it is a product of the virtual world, it doesn't look like anything from the real world except for the color - it's very cute and Kem's favorite.

Because it's such a cute thing, I can't get angry even if I want to, so I stop getting angry before I know it.

I was thinking about what to do, but looking at Yuki's face, I almost forgot about it.

Yuki squinted at Keim, who was thinking about it.

"Hey, Kem, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening. There was a loud sound echoing in my ears. ”

"I'm not that loud."

Yuko's voice is heard more than others. So don't be loud. ”

"Woo woo woo ~ "

Yuki swished up from his chair. Kem was stunned for a moment, and Yuki instantly grabbed Kem's face with both hands and began to squeak and fiddle.

Obviously I didn't expect it, but my face turned into a smile, an angry face, and a sad face. Every expression is a forcible distortion.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!?"

"Carlin, you've been saying rude things to girls since just now."

Yuki's unhappy expression can be seen in front of him. However, because he was caught near his eyes, he repeatedly became invisible or invisible.

"Hey, are you hungry?"

"What I said was more rude than usual. So a little bit more than usual. ”

And so it is. Yuki is upset about Cam's words, or when Cam says something, he will definitely grab Cam's face and play with him like a prank.

Although it has only been done in the virtual world, and the pain is not felt in the virtual world because of the work of the pain suppression mechanism, even so, the people around you can see such things, if it is painful.

For Kem, this is Yuki's physical skill, which deals more damage than any sword skill.

"Aha! Isn't the relationship better than it seems? ”

Yuki's nirvana stopped halfway through. A voice came from nowhere. I haven't heard much of it, but it's a woman's voice that I've heard. As soon as I saw it, the snow was in a daze.

Knowing only what was in front of that line of sight, Kem also turned his face to the front of Yuki's line of sight, and Yuki's hand followed Kem's movements deftly.

Among the players who went into coffee break like us, there was one player who came here.

She has shiny black hair like Kirito's daughter, Yui, and wears a black ribbon. A tall woman with reddish-brown eyes who wears a white coat-like dress like a doctor and has big breasts like Strea attract attention.

Shino, a lover who is believed to be healing Kirito, is now one of his companions.

"Dr. Elise"

Even though he said it at the same time as Kem, Yuki didn't take his hand off Kem's face. Elise snickered and walked over, and soon came to the side and stopped.

"Yuki, Kem, you look good."

"Teacher Elise actually came to us, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

\"But isn't Teacher Elise not coming to us? But he came to us, so I don't know what's wrong. \"

Elise smiled and looked down at Cam.

"I heard your noisy noises, so I was invited. Didn't you say things got interesting? ”

Hearing this, Kem finally noticed the change in face that Yuki barely saw, and felt the shyness with heat from the bottom of his body. Yuki's power is gone. When I grabbed my hand back like there was a gap, I was unexpectedly and easily peeled off.

In order to confirm that the face was restored to its original appearance, he touched his face with his hand, and Elise smiled slightly.

"Oops, oops, do you want to put it back? I thought you were interesting. ”

"Please don't think it's funny, because it's something you don't want people to see."

\"That's, it's rude. \"

Elise then asked, "Can I sit here for a while?" ”。 Kem wanted to shake his head, but before that, Yuki quickly said "Please come in". Elise replied "thank you" and sat down, by which time Kem was speechless of anything.

"You're coming back from a mission."

"Yes. I just came back from a mission. In the quest to prepare ingredients for delicious drinks here, you will be rewarded for clearing the quest immediately. ”

"That's right. In the case of VRmmo, cooking and other things don't take much time, but depending on the thing, there are things that take the same amount of time as cooking in the real world. Even so, if it's a drink, it seems to be over right away. ”

Although they hadn't met much, Yuki and Elise had a good conversation. When Yuki was in SAo, it sounded quite detailed, and even made people feel like they could experience the simulation, but Elise was not conspicuous in it. So I don't think Yuko and Elise get along that well, but it doesn't seem like that.

"That's right, Yuko. You're saying that you're using conditioner. ”

"Yes. I'm here with conditioner as well. The only time you don't use is when you sleep. ”

"I heard that it was more than three years. I also used the real thing to go to SAo, and I was able to let the subject dive dive for more than three years. After all, it was my predecessors who did it. Uh-huh. ”

To say this, Ilys Yuki said, "Ancestors? \ "Tilting his head, though, Kem already knew about it, and they thought there was something strange about this medicuboid.

What allowed Yuki to log in to this world like this, and what has been guarding his body all the time is a medical device.

It is more of a large-scale device than an appliance, and by allowing patients to dive into the VR space, it can actually paralyze all of the body's functions, delay the progression of the disease, and neutralize the pain that occurs during treatment, and has excellent functions.

According to Elis's words, it is also said that Shino, the lover of Elise and Kirito, was allowed to dive to SAo.

Pull the essential part out of your mind, Kem said to himself.

"The developer of health care, Kamiyo Engineering Road Rinko Phosphating. Designed, developed, and invented based on the VR technology assembled by Akihiko Kayaba. That Dr. Kamiyo, Todo Lamphead University of Technology, Shigemura Uneven Resource Research Laboratory, came from there, and it was Akihiko Kayaba."

Cam and Elise looked at each other. Elise's eyes seemed to be waiting for something.

"It's where you are, Dr. Elis."

Elise smiled with her nose, and Yuuki turned to Elise with a slightly startled look.

"Don't you know much, Kem? I thought you only had knowledge of health care, but I didn't expect that even Dr. Kamiyo and his graduate school knew about it. ”

After learning about Yuki and Medicuboid, Kem often looked up Medicuboid on the Internet.

In the answer derived from the Internet, it was written that Dr. Rinko Kamiyo was the one who developed the medical center, and that person was from the Shigemura Laboratory of Toto Institute of Technology.

Kem told Elise about the incident and continued.

"I found it on the page of the Shigemura Laboratory of Toto Institute of Technology, where Dr. Kamiyo is located. Eries-sensei and Akihiko Kayaba their photo. ”

"I see, did you find the group photo you took at that time? When you look at that, you immediately know who it is. ”

"Dr. Elise, is it true? It is said that Mr. Elise and Akihiko Kayaba, a doctor who manufactures health care, were born in the same place."

In the sight of Yuki, who couldn't hide his surprise, Elise placed his elbows on the table.

"yes. He was a long time ago, and I was in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Dongdu University of Technology. So Professor Shigemura, who I call me a teacher, is enrolled in the Shigemura Research Office, where I am a consultant, and asked me to study it.

There were also Mr. Kayaba, who was already the head of the development of Agas at the time, and Dr. Rinko Kamiyo, who accompanied me, who were my seniors. At that time, I was already a lead programmer at Argus, just like Mr. Kayaba, and I was really happy to hear that Rinko was making VR machines for medical use.

I was very impressed when it was installed in the hospital where I worked."

Yuki listened with wide eyes. It seemed that Cam would turn out to be like this, but he finally held back and kept a certain eye.

From Kirito/Kirito himself, it is said that Elis is the culprit of Lilan at Kirito, Yupitel at Asna, and the culprit who made Strea with Yui, and was the chief programmer when he worked at Agas.

However, I didn't expect that the position of chief programmer had been in place since I was a college student.

The Shigemura Laboratory of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Toto Institute of Technology, had heard about the gathering of heretics and strange technicians, including professors, but it seemed to be true. Maybe it's because in that place, this genius AI developer called the developer of the medical center, Dr. Kamiyo, by his name.

To Elise who came out of the gathering of the weird technician, yuuki greeted delicately.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with the doctor who makes medical robots, Mr. Elis, how wide is your face?"

"I was also startled by my own face that spread out at some point. So, I met you who used the medical robot made by Rinko's predecessors, and it was really Rinko's seniors, Mr. Kayaba, who formed a wonderful fate with me. ”

"Do you have any connection with Dr. Kamiyo?"

Elise accepted Cam's question, her expression stiffening. Soon that face became something lonely.

"No need. When I was working at Argas, I often came to the company, and if we could meet them, they would talk to me like I did when I was a student. "Although the AI children praised us a lot, there was no contact from the neighborhood where Agas was disbanded. Because I was also imprisoned by SAo. There is no more contact. “

Illis's face was something he had never seen before, and he looked lonely.

Elis, who is known as Rinko's predecessor - Ellie Serizawa who I heard from Kirito, is a very big presence for Dr. Kamiyo.

Maybe that's why it's for me - an existence like Araki.

"If you can, would it be better to see each other again, than anything else? Open it? Daughter? I want you to see you again. It must have disappeared. If we meet, both parties will be happy. “

"The little one?"

Reacting to the words that came out of Elis, Elise gave a "oops" expression. Immediately gently wave the palm of your hand. A gesture of negation.

Yuukie shook her head and smiled at Elise.

"No, it's a very good story. It's great to know that Mr. Elise has a very good relationship with someone and that he is a healthcare developer. ”

"Really? Well, I used to have a time when there were juniors with excellent seniors. And now there are children who like it as much as that senior. Times have changed, really. ”

That must be Kirito and Shino's business. Shino was an important patient of Elise when he was a psychiatrist after the dissolution of Agas, and Kirito was his partner.

And Kirito said, "Elise has said that she likes us and admires us since the past", and Shino also admires Elise quite a lot. And most importantly, Kirito's friends, including himself and Yuko, also look up to Elise as the same partner.

Elis, who once admired Dr. Kamidai, is now admired by many friends. I didn't ask him directly, but Illis was happy about the situation.

"So, my senior, Rinko-senpai, made the medical insurance you use. I didn't have a chance to say it to me, but I still feel a little grateful. ”

"I know. I was helped by Dr. Kamiyo, a senior of Elise-sensei. So, use it gratefully every day. ”

The somewhat mischievous voice of Ariki made Elise laugh. Obviously, Yuki didn't think so, and this is the experience that I have been exposed to so far, and it is easy to grasp. No, it's unexpected that it's because it's a frank Yuko, so I'll think about it a little.

I was thinking about that kind of thing, and a waiter came from the store. It is a waiter who entrusts a task. In the hand was a glass with a straw and a beautiful golden drink.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, it's a honey drink."

The waiter put the glass in front of Yuki, and Yuki said happily, "I'm waiting for you!" ”。 After seeing the waiter leave, the three of them paid attention to the glass.

Sure enough, it is a honey drink, a drink that uses a lot of honey, and the honey itself can be said to be an atmosphere that is poured into a cup. Although the color is golden like honey, its intensity and brilliance are not so much honey's as transparent pure gold. It's something you can't drink until you complete a task, so it's a luxurious look and quality compared to something that you can drink if you don't normally ask.

Elise muttered as she gazed at the golden glow of the drink with interest.

"You've ordered something pretty powerful."

"That's what I'm here for. Yuki didn't want to drink it anyway. ”

"Is this the reward for the mission? Well, this must be delicious. ”

With that, Elise turned his gaze to Yuki. With the same gaze turning, Yuki looked at the glass with sparkling eyes. My face seems to be waiting for this time.

"Then you're welcome - let me see!"

Yuki was about to say that, as he took the glass—and just placed it in front of Kem.

"Okay, Kem, please!"

"Huh?"

Kem couldn't help but be stunned. Sure enough, he still couldn't understand Yuki's actions, and Elise was also in a daze. It is Yuki who wants to drink a honey drink. So I did the task, but I was given a honey drink.

With the hand of Yuki who has nothing else.

"Please, why did you give it to me?"

With a question mark about to overflow in the brain, Kem's, the hand of Yuki overlapped the hand. A calm smile appeared on his face.

"Didn't Kem log in early today to date me? So, even when it came to Hehe, he continued to associate with me, and this task was accomplished. ”

Yuki smiled.

"So, that's my gratitude. Thank you today, Kem. ”

That's right. Youki is always unpredictable and unpredictable. Suddenly saying something unexpected made Kem very difficult. Sometimes, however, it makes Kem happy.

It is because there are so many such things that Kem does not get angry.

Even now, the face of Juku, who was tossed because of the continuous acceptance of tasks, was targeted, and there should be a feeling of anger, but as soon as I saw Yuki's smile on his face, it disappeared somewhere.

"So you're stuck with that?"

"That's it. Drink it! ”

Yuki who is more smile-oriented. Looking at that lovely face, my heart itched, as if there was no way.

Maybe it's okay if there were only two of them, but there is Elise here, so it would be clumsy to be like that. As Yuki had said, Kem took the straw in the glass to his mouth and sucked it up.

In the next moment, Kem suddenly opened his eyes.

Although it is a hanibi drink that shines like pure gold, it has a very strong sweetness when you enter the mouth. And not only is it sweet, but it also gives a nice honey flavor. And the flavor of the honey is richer and richer than any honey ever eaten in the real world.

Until now, I've traveled the world with ALo, "SAo", and I feel that it tastes better than any of them. Fascinated, Kem continued to sip on the straw and sip Hanibi with a gurgling sound.

When the contents of the cup were reduced to a little more than half, Kem finally took his mouth off the straw.

At the same time, Yuki greeted me.

"How's it going, Kem?"

"Very sweet, very tasty, this"

"Really?"

"Well, I feel like the fatigue is gone. It's great to be able to complete the mission with you. \"

It was hard for Cam to say the following. However, that pain quickly disappeared and words were spoken.

\"That, thank you for me. \"

Xiongji had a blank expression. However, it immediately turned into a smile on his face again, and his cheeks were dyed the color of cherry blossoms.

"You're welcome, Kem!"

Faced with Yuki saying this, Kem nodded to show him. Immediately after that, I drank another honey drink, and left the straw about halfway through.

I didn't expect it to be a gift from Yuki, and Yuki's eyes also sparkled when he saw this honey drink. I must have a desire to drink it. - Here's one, I'd like to make half of it for you.

Thinking like this, Kem took out Hanibi's drink and handed it to the others.

"Thank you for the hospitality. After that, you drink, Yuki. ”

Hey?

"That said, Yuko, my eyes have been sparkling since just now. Actually, I want to drink it. ”

So Yuki curled up. It seems to have been poked. Yuki is always as energetic as a teenager, but she's a good girl. There are things that are enjoyed like a girl, and there are also things that like to eat and drink sweet things. From Yuki's point of view, this honey drink should be something that you can't do if you want to drink.

In response to Keim's prediction, Yuki returns from retreat.

"I want to drink it too."

"yes, that's halfway through. I've already drunk it, and I'll give you the rest. ”

Keim said that he would allow the original to return the drink to Hanibi. The amount is really exactly half or so, and it's beautifully shared. The delicacy of this drink is quite good. I'd like to give Yuki a little more if I could, Kem felt a bit of a failure.

Then Ariki said, and once again a smile on his face appeared -

"Thanks, Kem!"

As he spoke, he began to suck the straw tied in the honey drink a little nervously. Because I heard the sound of "ち~" from Yuki, I couldn't help but laugh. However, Yuki is addicted to drinking and becomes less concerned about the little things about Kem.

Elis, who looked at himself like this from the side, smiled cheerfully.

"Isn't the relationship very good, both of them are good?"

"Is it like Dr. Elise and Dr. Kamidai?"

"Hmm~ To say that my relationship with Rinko-senpai is a bit delicate, but at least it's better than those people. And anyway, look at your business"

Elisto blushed his cheeks and put Kem and Yuki into sight.

"It reminds me of Kirito and Rifa. Yes, you're like brother and sister who have a good relationship. ”

Kem couldn't help but react to that remark. I felt that something in my chest was discovered, and I had the illusion that my body was getting hot. But Kem immediately calmed down and thought.

In our case, there are also things that we don't know. Although it was about to be said, Elise didn't know it.

Although Elise said it by chance, he felt like he had a purpose.

"Are we like brother and sister?"

"Ah, I feel that way. You're the older brother, and Yuki is like the younger sister. Well, it's just a metaphor after all. ”

Elise leaned slightly closer to Kem and whispered.

"What a pretty girl, Yuki. You're going to take good care of her, Kem. It doesn't matter if she's sick or whatever. ”

Kem's eyes widened, but in that moment, Yuki made a loud noise. The glass is empty.

"Poof! Very tasty! It's such a delicious thing! ”

Kem blinked repeatedly. I was going to talk to Elise at the corresponding volume, but it didn't seem to reach Yuki's ears. The deliciousness of Hanibi's drink was touching, but from Yuki's point of view, the emotion almost cut off all the sounds.

Laughing at such a Yuki, Elise greeted.

"Yuko, I must have sweated a lot during the mission. I want to take all the girls to the hot springs in the future, what do you think? ”

"Ah, is it a hot spring!? Then I want to go! ”

"Haha, answer right away. Then add you to the membership as well. \"

In this way, Asna, Yuki, and Lilan all said that they had found a hot spring. Although I haven't been there yet, Yuki says it's a place with a good hot spring temperature. From the girls' point of view, they can understand the joy of snow because they are going to the highest place.

"What are you going to do, Keim? Kirito and Yupitel are also going. ”

"In that case, I want to go. However, it is not possible to mix baths. It's going to cause problems for other girls. ”

"Hehe, you're different from Kirito, you have such a part. However, because it is a rare hot spring, it is necessary to relax your shoulders in the hot spring. ”

Nodding to Elise, Yuki stood up and grabbed his hand. With that hand, Kem barely got up from his seat.

"Kem, let's go to the hot springs! If you go to the hot springs, you can get rid of fatigue! ”

Yuki smiled constantly. The next place to go is where Yuki likes. It is what makes Yuki happy to have good ideas.

At the same time, it can make Yuki happy - if he thinks like this, the corners of Kem's mouth are naturally raised.

"It's good to go to the hot springs, but you can't soak too much and get angry."

My sister replied with a smile.

The happy times have started again.

According to the woman's voice, a calm voice is made. I vaguely felt the scent of someone nearby. Maybe it's because I'm in what humans call dormancy and sleep, and I can't seem to be able to perceive breath very well.

"Well, the timing is a bit bad."

Attracted by the sound again, he opened his eyes slightly. Something like a white panel is spreading. That's it, the same as the ceiling of the room used when you go into sleep mode. It seems that this must be a room called a bedroom.

Something that wasn't the ceiling was reflected in the white.

Maybe it's because I haven't recovered from sleep mode, so it's blurry. Still, the color is clear. White different from the white of the ceiling. That's the color of the skin – it's the face of a person. There's a face peeking over here.

"Oops, did you wake you up?"

Although the outline is very vague, you can grasp the general shape, color, and features.

Slightly greenish brunette and make it short. It's blurry, but you can see the hair on the left. Eventually, I learned that the eye color was emerald.

Eyes, which are considered rare in general society, open their mouths and speak while projecting them in their own eyes.

"Mom?"

"Well, unfortunately, I'm not a mom.

Good morning, Martel."

When called, the blurred vision became clear. The contours of the face that peep at this side will also become clear.

The owner of the face is a woman. The hairstyle and eye color are the same as those caught when blurred, but there are some things called freckles near the cheeks. Myrtle clearly captured these traits and couldn't help but smile.

"Reiko"

Reiko, the woman she was called that, smiled back. It's not that I don't feel a little wry smile.

"Ahh Everyone said they couldn't call me Mom and Dad, so let's just call me by my name. That's why my name is 'Reiko', isn't it? ”

Martel nodded. Linko gently reached that hand to Martel's forehead. Just like that, he gently stroked his forehead and hair.

"You overslept today, Martel. Usually I'm very happy when I come. ”

"Well, yesterday I kind of collected a lot of information, learned a lot, and learned a lot more than usual"

"Really? So I've accumulated fatigue value, no, I'm tired. ”

"Well, I'm a little tired, but the people I have to cure are also tired like this, so it's okay because I understand everyone's feelings, so it's good."

Linko's smile became gentler. Along with the stroke of my hand, the warmth slowly flowed out.

"yes, that's amazing, Martel. Learned a lot, learned a lot"

"Am I amazing?"

"Ah, yes. You're an amazing boy, Martel. ”

I've learned that great means great, not ordinary, excellent, etc. When Reiko says this, she has become excellent.

Avery and the others, Akihiko all want to be good. I can only be happy to be close to the form that everyone wants.

When she couldn't help but laugh "hehe", Reiko's face changed to something that was said to be sorry.

"But in that case, I'd better not come. You worked too hard yesterday, you were tired, and you need to sleep. Sorry Martel, for disturbing your sleep."

It is true that yesterday I was studying and gathering information until I was really tired. That fatigue is still there, and it robs the body of freedom accordingly. It should be dormant at such times, as Avery and the others had taught me.

But Martel was not disturbed by that important dormant thought.

"No, it's okay because of the mark? Mark? Come, just talk to me like that. I didn't feel disturbed at all. “

Reiko tilted her head dumbfounded.

"Huh? What's going on? Your mother's name is Ellie."

Martel wrapped his hands around Reiko's hand, which was near her forehead.

"My dad was the only one with Akihiko. However, Mom has two people.

Ellie and Reiko are my moms. “

"Ellie and I, your mother?"

"Hmm. In fact, my mother is the same as my father, I can only stay alone, but I think Avery is a mother, and Lin Zi is also a mother. ”

Linko looked a little surprised. Is what you said so surprising?

"My favorite dad is Akikiko. So, my favorite moms are Ellie and Reiko. Am I thinking that strangely? ”

Reiko did not respond. But that expression changed from surprise to something that was about to cry.

"You think like that"

Hey, did you say anything bad?

Said something that made Reiko cry?

"Reiko? Sure enough, it's weird? ”

Immediately after, Lin Ke shook his head.

"It's not like that. It's not like that. But, Martel. I'm not that much with you. Not near you like Ellie and Kayaba. But you still think of me as your favorite mother. ”

"Hmm. It's true that we don't see each other very much, and I can't talk a lot, but I like Reiko very much. Reiko is my favorite mom. ”

Linko's eyes widened in surprise.

Or did you say something surprising?

Or did you say something sad?

Is this a situation for which an apology must be made?

Looking at Martel, who was thinking with a fuzzy mind due to fatigue, Linko slowly collapsed his body. Covered with Martel, who was lying down, and held it like that. Reiko's shoulders were buried all over her face, and a hand was added to the back of her head.

"Reiko?"

"It should be made by Kayaba and Ellie, you are so gentle and don't lie"

I haven't grasped the meaning of Reiko's words yet. Martel tilted his head and asked Linko.

"Reiko, you have a sad expression from the beginning. I said something that made Reiko feel sad. ”

"There's nothing like that. I didn't grieve, I was very happy. I'm so happy to be able to tell you my favorite mom. Not only that, but I'm very happy to be with you like this and to be able to talk to you. ”

As he spoke, Linko hugged Martel tightly. Akihiko, Ellie, and the others will hug you like that. At that time, the nature and size of the warmth felt were different depending on the person holding them, but Reiko's heart felt extra warm.

"Martel, you're so warm"

"Reiko is also very warm and warm, very comfortable."

"Well, I'm in the same mood. You are a very warm, gentle girl."

Linko gently stroked Martel's hair.

"I can only see a little, I can only say a little, I'm sorry.

I love it too, Martel. “

That sentence fell firmly into Martel's chest.

Akihiko, Avery , Linko. I've found online that people who think they like don't necessarily like themselves equally. So, I think that maybe among my favorite people, there are also people who don't like me, so I feel uneasy.

However, Reiko does feel that she likes it too. Avery Lie, my mother, who is not here now, also said something.

I have two favorite moms, both of whom I think I love. Love me.

Martel put his mood on his chest and, like rolling, went into sleep mode.

"-Miss, sister."

Hearing a familiar voice again, Martel opened his eyes. Again, I saw the ceiling, this time unique to the log greenhouse.

"Huh?"

I thought I was sleeping in the white bedroom just now, but I didn't expect the ceiling of the log house to be right in front of me.

What happened?

Why has my location changed?

In the back of my mind, where questions kept coming, another voice came. It was the voice of a little girl.

"Good morning, sister. I woke up so late today. ”

"Huh?"

Martel lifted his upper body in the form of being attracted to the sound. Next to the right, there is a maiden who is considered to be the master of sound. Dressed in a dress based on white and characterized by long black hair around her waist, she is a short girl with round black eyes.

It was Martel's sister, Yui.

"Yui, why is Yui here and here?"

"Huh? Sister, what's wrong? ”

Yui tilted her head and looked at Martel with an uncanny look. Looking around under Yui's gaze, he once again finds that the room has been transformed into the interior of the log house. The bed that lay on it also became something in the log greenhouse.

None of them are in the bedroom, this is not the bedroom.

“！”

Myrtle stared at it all, sobering up his consciousness. It seems that this is a dream now. It felt comfortable, but it was a dream.

And here is the reality. It's a log house where I live with my sister Yui, and my name is not "Martel".

Now I'm - I'm Lilan.

Lilan, who remembered it, covered her face with one hand.

"It was a dream. How confusing. ”

"Dreams? Sister, did you dream so clearly? ”

Nodding to her sister, Lilan resumed her usual tone of voice.

"Ah, it's a very clear dream."

"Is it a nightmare?"

"No, it's not a nightmare. It is a very nostalgic and warm dream. After watching it, I was fascinated and almost couldn't help myself."

"I see, I didn't get up much, I was a little worried."

After Lilan took her hand away from her face, she moved her right hand and pulled out the window. It was past 8:30 a.m. I usually get up around 7 a.m., but I slept for about an hour and 30 minutes.

Only Kirito / Kirito is the only one who sleeps lazily like this.,Now I can't say anything about Kirito's lazy sleep.。

\"You're oversleeping like Kirito. What I used to do. \"

"We already had breakfast with our dads. Sister, what should I do? Let's start cooking my sister's dishes now. ”

Probably going to make me her own breakfast, Yui said a little regretfully, "yes", and wanted to leave the room. The moment she saw that back, Lilan remembered.

I have a mom myself. I think I like that mom very much, and my mom thinks I like her very much. The situation similar to that of myself is Yui. What does Yui think of her mother? Suddenly very concerned, Lilan greeted Yui who went out.

"Yui, there's something I want to ask you."

"Huh?"

"Do you like Mom very much?"

After asking, I think Lilan has failed.

Yui's mother is Shino, but how much Yui loves Shino, how much Shino loves Yui, etc., and I know so far about living together.

Isn't it a form of re-listening? My sister nodded to my sister who was thinking about such a thing.

"Yes, very much. I've always loved my mom! ”

"Haha, huh? I guess so. \"

Getting an answer that didn't need to be asked, Lilan felt a little sorry. I don't mean to listen to it. Let Yui do useless things.

Just after Lilan thought so. Yui suddenly made a movement as if she remembered something.

"And, sister, I've noticed it lately."

"Huh?"

"I have two favorite moms."

Lilan, who heard that, couldn't help but be stunned. The wolf's ears, which were linked to emotion, stood up towards the ceiling. Yui returned to the room and put her hand on her chest.

"One is Shinai and the other is Elis, and these two are my mother."

"Shino and Elise, with Mom?"

"Yes. Shino saved me at that time and treated me like a real mother, so I was a mother. Because Elise is doing me, she is a mother. So my mom has two people. ”

Indeed it is. Because it was Shino who loved and raised Yui like her own child, so there is nothing wrong with saying that Shino is Yui's mother.

But Yui was not a child born by Shino, but a child created by Elis. So, Yui can be called Mother Elise. And Elise herself didn't raise Yui, and she didn't tell her about herself, but she seems to be a daughter, so Yue must be Elise's daughter.

"yes. You have two moms and a mother. However, your favorite mom should be Shino. ”

"No, sister. Which mom do I like the most? Elis doesn't see me much, but she thinks about me and adds extra features to me. Although there are scary parts compared to my mother, it is very warm. "Very gentle. So, I can say that I like Mr. Elis's mom very much."

I hadn't seen Yui called Elise's mother, and I hadn't heard Elise say anything like that. I'm afraid Elis doesn't know Yui's thoughts. When Elise heard the words from Yui, it was easy to predict what kind of expression it would be. Then, I understood one thing again.

Yui is the same as herself.

Like myself, I have two mothers, both of whom are loved, and both of whom are loved.

I don't think Yui has anything like herself, but it's not like that.

"Really? You like two moms a lot. ”

"Yes! Which mom do I like the most? It's great that I'm a mom of two. ”

"If Shino and Elise are logged in, say it. Elise in particular will be very pleased. And then"

Lilan parted first. The incredible Yui tilted her head and looked up.

"You have to cherish the 'now' when you can meet your two mothers and be able to speak."

Yui showed a trance expression for a moment, but immediately turned into a smile and nodded.

"Yes. Being able to spend time with two favorite moms is a treasure for me! Ah, and me, I like my sister too! ”

Yui said this and walked out of the room. When she couldn't see her back, Lilan took a deep breath.

Yui also has two mothers, and Yui can basically talk to those two mothers at any time and meet them. Because I didn't stay away, I guess I was lucky.

Thinking like this, where does Lilan envy Yui's matter.

“”

Lilan looked down again, remembering the contents of the dream.

Side by side with Elis and Ellie, who is a mother, is another mother of herself. Should it just be a program of oneself.,Kiritoro personally? Middle? The child thought like a woman and brought up and loved. If Ellie is her biological parent, she should be the one who raised her parents.

I can't see Agas after my father, Akihiko Kayaba, disappears, Mom.

Where is that man now?

What do you think of yourself now?

If we could meet again——。

"Ahh

On the way, Lilan shook her head, dispelling the thought. There's no way to think about that now, and there's no reason to meet that person.

And now I am the demon who got the name Lilan from the hero who cleared the SAo of Kirito.,It's Kirito's family.。

Judging by the previous name, it has long since left the nest from the previous place. Now you can do whatever it takes for your parents who have raised you.

"What a troublesome dream"

Lilan got out of bed and walked to the living room.

After breakfast with my family, I went back to my room. If it were normal, I would have started AmUSFIA and dived in "SAo", but today I postponed that time. I had a book at hand, and I was reading it all the time.

"Sure enough, I was still freed."

The Alone language clause then turned the next page. But what is written there is also true, but it is quite different from what we remember.

There is a lot of this sense of incongruity, and the name of the book I read is "The Complete Records of SAo Events". From today, about a week ago, the book was suddenly released.

Based on the records of the SAo server that existed in the old Agas and the confessions of the SAo survivors, I was shocked when I stumbled upon a documentary in the bookstore that wrote the truth and truth about the SAo incident, and I immediately ran to buy it.

I don't know who wrote it, but during the two years we were imprisoned and experienced bitterness, we had to read it if we wrote about what the world was like at that time. And before reading this book, I believe it was a proper record in the SAo incident.

However, after actually reading this book, I realized that I did write a lot about the events that happened in SAo, but there was a great deal of relief about the appearance of the characters.

Especially when I was called the "Black Dragon Swordsman" and became the head of the Grand Guild Blood Alliance Knights, my description of Kirito was very conspicuous. Sometimes there are even descriptions that are completely different from what I remember, and every time I have a strange mood, I can only smile bitterly.

But even the kind of book that is full of getting rid of and exaggerated representations, the facts are clearly written. Next to me was a wolf dragon equipped with excellent artificial intelligence, the first leader of the Blood Alliance Knights, Heathcliff, who was Akihiko Kayaba, and I defeated Heathcliff and SAo was cleared.

Because the most important parts are clearly written, I would even like to thank the author for this. If you want to expand the truth about the SAo incident, which is completely unpopular in society, it must be impeccable. Although I, Lilan, and the others were in a good situation of getting rid of it, from a social point of view, there was nothing like that.

There are some parts that are unacceptable, but please open your eyes and close the picking.

"The demon king Heathcliff of Akihiko Kayaba, the prisoner of the crusade against SAo, the hero who liberated the remaining six thousand players from SAo, \"Black Dragon Swordsman Kirito\""

But, even then, there are things that get stuck in that part.

It is true that in society, Akihiko Kayaba is the mastermind of the SAo incident, a crazy criminal who killed four thousand players. I was the one who fought Heathcliff, the incarnation of Akihiko Kayaba, and I was defeated, so it's no surprise that I'm considered a hero.

However, I learned there that Kayaba also has Kayaba's thoughts and desires, and Kayaba also has loving children, and that nothing alone can defeat Akihiko Kayaba/Heathcliff.

I was able to win there because Kayaba's daughter had the idea of wanting to stop her beloved father. It wasn't just my strength that could have gotten there, and I could have relied on my friends to continue the fight together.

Only my hero hero who defeated the kayak was dealt with, but speaking of my partners all, all the players in the strategy group there are all hero heroes yes.

The SAo Incident Records Complete Collection doesn't write that. If I could write something like this, I would like to go to the author and tell the truth.

However, even so, if the contents of this book spread, society will become lively. The natural enemy of the police, business, and the media, the "Roof Breaker" and the "Runaway Man" inside SAo, is a vicious player who claims to be Alberich. \"The man who broke the roof and fled, lynched, lynched, with the same attack and criticism, the day and night without permission, the lively news program must be noisy.

Hawkers, although it is not written that Alberich's true face is an important figure of Rechett, Nobuyuki Sugo.

"So that society will know about SAo?"

Talking to myself again, I bookmarked the bookmark with my bag in my book. For me, who is considered the head of the SAo survivors, there is something I want to say that will not change. However, the average person who doesn't know anything knows about the SAo incident is a good opportunity.

It has also published e-books, and even English editions, which have been published in the United States and Europe. The truth about the SAo incident is spreading to the whole world.

When I heard that this American circle was also on sale, I wanted to hold my head. In the United States there are Dr. Seven Colors. She is fluent in Japanese and English, and she reads and writes calmly, and when she reads the e-book of this book, she will definitely say things like "The name of the hero Kirito-kun has spread all over the world". If you talk to Seven next time, be sure to be aware of this.

The time was confirmed, and the time had already turned to ten o'clock in the morning. At breakfast, Lilan, who was usually supposed to be together, was not there. Yui says that he overslept and Lilan overslept, which is a change that has not occurred once so far.

Although I don't think there is anything like that, I am still worried about what happened to Lilan's body. Must go to "SAo" to confirm.

That's when I got up from my chair thinking like this. The smartphone made a loud noise. Music is playing to notify you of incoming calls. Because it took a long time until the login, did Yui and Strea call?

I took it in my hand and looked at the monitor, and the name displayed was not theirs - "Seijiro Kikuoka". I couldn't help but plop and fall off my shoulder.

"What is this?"

I don't want to go out if I can, but the contact of former SAo incident countermeasures section, officer of Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is very important. I clicked the call start button and added a smartphone to my ear.

"Hey Kiritani cut"

"Hey, it's Kirito. Hello. ”

I heard the voice of a man in his thirties who had not yet reached his forties. And then instead of Kirito, call me Kirito. In the real world, instead of calling me by my real name, I am called Avatar, which is also its characteristic.

"Hello Kikuoka, you look good, it's better than anything."

"Do you plan to log in to the game in the future?"

"Exactly. Before Mr. Kikuoka called, it was an ordinary Saturday. ”

"yes. Then the timing of my call seems to be good. I got caught by you. ”

There is a saying that there is a shoji rustling that you care about. Talking to this man makes it clear that this guy likes weird nasty sayings, and he likes to say weird things and weird things. If you want to start a conversation, there is a high probability that this will happen, so I always keep it short.

"So, what's the matter with you? I'll tell you, Yuu, Lilan, and Strea don't rent it. ”

"That's not the way it is. Then again, it's not me who has something wrong with you. ”

"Isn't it Mr. Kikuoka?"

"Ah, it wasn't my person who said he wanted to meet with you and then contact me if I wanted permission. Because I'm a member of the SAo Incident Countermeasures Division, I seem to know about the knot with Kirito-kun. According to that person, I only knew the truth after reading the complete SAo incident record, and it seems that I want to see you. “

I couldn't help but sigh. The one who has the greatest presence in the SAo event log is me, Kirito. After reading this complete collection of SAo incident records, it is not surprising that some people want to know what kind of person Kirito was who ended the SAo incident.

However, some people have shown the ability to get in touch with Kikuoka of the former SAo Incident Countermeasures Division.

"That person isn't dangerous. Jealous of me who is regarded as a hero, or there is resentment within SAo. ”

"That's not the case with people who want to see you. I was also startled to hear the man's name and the man's situation. ”

Kikuoka's voice was sharp. There is no appearance of teasing and decoration as usual.

"Who's that guy?"

Kikuoka answered that question.

"It's Akihiko Kayaba's lover."

It was past 10 a.m. I'm being rocked by a tram right now. Because it was a Sunday and the train bound for the vicinity of central Tokyo, it was quite crowded and endless, and it was full of people. The view from the window is also covered.

"Sure enough, it's Sunday, and the train is so crowded."

"Even so, isn't it better than a normal morning?"

"That's too. The crowding situation in the morning is not a joke here in Tokyo."

On a normal Sunday, I'm in my room at home wearing conditioner and diving in "SAo". But today wasn't your average Sunday, so the plans for the dive were all ruined, and I was rocked by the tram. And then the people who lived an unusual Sunday like me are now sitting next to me.

Make your slightly brown black hair into a half-length and tie it with a white ribbon near your sideburns. A girl wearing a dress shaped like a white dress, a white-green grooved coat draped over it, and glasses with no degree.

Shino Asada met in SAo and swore that I would protect you for the rest of my life and love you.

The important and cute person is now also being shaken by the train next to me.

"Even so, he's also Akihiko Kayaba's lover, and he has such a person."

"Ah, I was shocked when I first heard it. However, I made a point of calling Kikuoka and got in touch with me, and I thought it must be true. ”

The reason why Shino and I were shaken by the train was Kikuoka's contact yesterday.

Yesterday, Kikuoka, who was about to log in, contacted me and said, "Someone is fighting the hero of the SAo Incident Records", Heathcliff of Kirihiko Kayaba, and wants to meet Kirito who has ended. ”。

I thought it was someone who was aiming at me, so I prepared and listened to the details, and it turned out to be "Akihiko Kayaba's lover".

Locked us up in a death game, four thousand victims appeared - Akihiko Kayaba's lover Akihiko Kayaba gave me Lilan and the "seed" that was said to create the world they lived in.
