When I heard about the person who lives in the United States now, it was suddenly hard to believe that he existed, but when I called Kikuoka, it was very likely that it was true.

- Akihiko Kayaba's lover wants to see me. I don't know if it's true, but I don't want to refuse that person's request and say I'm going to agree to Kikuoka.

After about an hour from there, Kikuoka contacted me and said, "That person will arrive in Japan tomorrow and meet at a big coffee shop near Tokyo Station at about 10:30 a.m. ”。

And now, I left home to coincide with my date and got on the train.

"Kayaba Kiehiko Heathcliff's ex-lover I know that person wants to see you, but why does even I want to see him?"

In response to Shino's question, I choked up on words. From that person, passing through Kikuoka to be exact, there was a connection, but that person was not only me, but also asked me to "meet Shino, who recorded my partner in the SAo Incident Records".

There are a lot of articles about me in the complete collection of SAo incident records, and there are also good confessions, "There is a female player named Shino in the "Black Dragon Swordsman Kirito", and she is my partner".

That is to say, the fact that my partner is Shino has spread all over the world.

That thing hasn't been said to Shino yet. Because if you say it, you can't predict what kind of reaction it will have.

"Because if it's someone close to me, if it's Shino next to me who is defeating Heathcliff, I'm sure I'll hear something from Heathcliff."

Is that the reason? Then again, how does that person know? \"

Kikuoka was angry. I told him to shut up, but he broke me apart. ”

"You're the only one you know about that person and Kikuoka, right?"

Shino who listened tremblingly. This is the expected reaction, and it is also the expected words and deeds. If you know that the fact that Kirito's partner is Shino spreads around the world, you don't have to imagine what it will become.

However, the SAo incident record is only about Kirito and Shino, and there is no record of Shino's words. That area can be said to be a fluke.

"Only Kikuoka and the man knew such things. None of the others know, and that's okay. ”

"Yes, I'm relieved to hear that."

I thought as I looked at Shino who was caressing her chest.

What kind of character is Akihiko Kayaba's original lover who plans to meet in the future? Kikuoka only heard that the person was Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover, so the specific character image and so on are known locally.

However, because it's Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover, you must know about Ikeba, which we don't know. If I could hear that, I'd like to hear that specifically.

Kayaba has a daughter named Lilan/Martel, but there are many things that even that daughter doesn't know.

\"Lilan Lilan? \"

"Huh?"

At that time, I suddenly said that I had slipped out. Shino reacted, but there was no room for care.

So, does the woman of that Kayaba's ex-lover know about Martel? The man must have been next to the Kayaky for a corresponding amount of time, and if that was the case, he would have heard Martel's words from the Kayaky as well. If that's the case, you'll have to ask Martel about it.

And that Martel/Lilan said that today is freer than usual, so it should be in a state of being able to answer the phone at any time. If you get permission from your ex-lover of Ashino, you'll listen to Kayaba's words together.

Tell Shino about it, and Shino seems to accept it.

"Indeed, to Lilan, Heathcliff is a father. If that person forgives, it's better to listen to him together. ”

"yes, and it's also interesting for Lilan, because the other party is her father's ex-lover. \"

Lilan must have been surprised to hear that man speak. It's easy to imagine the scene at that time, and I always feel like laughing. Lilan will also be surprised, Kayaba's ex-lover. After saying a lot about the person, we took the train to Tokyo Station, our destination.

I got off the train on the crowded river, which is only available on holidays, and walked out of the ticket gate to the front of the station. I took out my smartphone and started the map app, and I found that the relatively large café in the building, which is about a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Station, is the destination.

Because I was going to talk and walk with Shino, I went on a date first. I wanted to say that, but before that Shino came up with that word. "It was a very short date".

I accepted with a wry smile that I had been surpassed, and while I had a very short date with Shino, I headed to my destination.

Moving forward in a crowd that was not like on weekdays morning, I crossed the street. While listening to the sound of the moving car, the two of them chatted and walked, and arrived at the destination café according to the time introduced by the map app.

If I want to say which, it seems to be a building of the style near the middle of Ginza or Shibuya. You can't check the inside of the café from the outside. It seems to be in a rather deep place. Since you can't see the outside coffee shop from the window, there are definitely fewer customers than the nearby chain stores.

I appointed such a place and was going to tell us that airtightness was considerably high. It was almost as tense as being in front of the door of the boss's room, and we entered the building.

We were greeted by a silk shop. It is said that the shops in this building vary according to the class, and it is a common structure such as buildings in the city center. I went inside, looked at the guide map, and found that the café of the purpose was at the top of the building. There was an escalator next to it, but I checked the time just 10 minutes before we met.

The time is coming soon, and we have to act ahead. We walked briskly to the elevator and targeted the destination café.

The elevator stopped, and as soon as the door opened, I saw a variety of shops adjacent to each other that were not coffee shops. I was wondering what was going on and looked at the guide map showing that the coffee shop was on the northernmost side. It took a lot of time to think about it as I walked north, and the number of people gradually decreased.

The most popular are near elevators and escalators, and coffee shops far from there are hardly popular. It's not so much that the café opened at 10:20 a.m., and it's not that it's welcome.

When you go inside, you can see several tables and chairs lined up in a relatively spacious shop. But there is no person other than the clerk. I tried to gaze, but I couldn't see the guest.

Because we couldn't find someone like a woman who could talk in the future, the two of us tilted their heads together.

"Hey, aren't the guests there?"

"Ah, it looks like we're the first guest."

Shino was thinking about the same thing, and looked around the store with her eyes as a point. I always thought that the target person would definitely arrive, so I didn't read this development.

Judging by the time, it shows exactly 10:25 a.m. Although it was said that it met at 10:30, no one came to the store five minutes ago.

No, speaking of which, I don't know the face and name of that person. I only heard that it was a woman who was the ex-lover of Akihiko Kayaba. It seems that Kikuoka sent our photo and name to the person, but when he told us, "We'll know if we met," he didn't tell us his name or send us a photo.

So the other party can only find us, but if we can't find that person, there is no way. Now I'm angry at what Kikuoka did.

"What to do, Kirito."

"It's terrible. The other party said that we can understand what to do if we are not there."

"-Kirito?"

Suddenly I felt like I was being called, and I said, "Huh? ”。 Now, I was indeed heard calling out. I don't think it's Shino's voice or the owner of the voice that is calling my name. The voice Shino seemed to hear it too, and Shino looked at the door of the store.

I looked at it in order to be attracted by that sight, and noticed that someone had walked here.

"Huh?"

It was women who came.

It's because of the change in light, or the same hue. If that's the case, it's quite rare, make a short haircut with a dark green look and fix it to the right with a hairpin. Dressed in a dark blue dress with a loose design, she has freckles on her cheeks like Satoka and dark emerald eyes, and she is a woman full of features. Overall, it feels like Ellie.,Probably about the same age.。

However, no matter which trait was mastered, the women who did not know did not change. The woman walked straight up to us and immediately stopped in front to greet us.

"Didn't you say Kirito now?"

"Huh?"

"From the way you speak, I seem to hear the word Kirito."

Shino shattered in front of me in a daze. There was a slightly wary look on his face.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" Do you have anything to do with us? \"

The woman stared at Shino. Soon, I took out my smartphone from my arms and looked at the monitor and Shino repeatedly, I. Shino doesn't understand vigilance, and keeps staring at women's affairs.

After staring at that for a few seconds, I suddenly noticed. This woman who greeted this woman suddenly with a lot of features is a face that has been seen somewhere. Although I only remember it very thinly overall, I always feel that I have seen this woman's face somewhere.

When did you see this woman.

Who is this woman?

I think she's quite famous – and that's why women are fixing their eyes on us from their smartphones.

"Yes. What about you? Kirino Valley Kirito and Shino Aada. ”

Shino's eyes widened. I did the same thing. Now, this woman has called not only my name, but also Shino's name. Does this man know about us?

Looking at us in surprise alternately several times, the woman turned the strict expression into something calm.

"First meeting. I'm here today to meet you guys about the Kamiyo Engineering Road Rinko Phosphating"

"Kamiyo, Rinko?"

The next moment I heard that name, I made a loud noise and was startled. In the sight of the two people who were surprised, the things in their minds and the names were connected by threads.

That's right. Rinko Kamiyo.

Along with Akihiko Kayaba, he was born in the Shigemura Laboratory of Toto Institute of Technology, and is used by Shino and Ellie, and is now a developer of medical machines and medical robots used in Kapok Season. If you are a person in the IT development industry, there is no one who does not know the famous scientists.

In the course of investigating his experience, he found that the name and face photo were consistent with the face of the woman in front of him.

"The developer of Dr. Rinko Kamiyo Healthcare!"

"Huh, healthcare developers!? This person!? ”

Shino also looked surprised. The developer of the machine he used was here and had to be surprised.

"Ah, that's right. I checked the Medicare and he came out. ”

"Yes, that's so!? Isn't it a lie? \"

But something even more startling happened here. We made an appointment to meet the woman of Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover. Then Dr. Rinko said that he had made an appointment with us.

In other words, Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover is Dr. Rinko Kamiyo, a developer of health care.

Knowing that Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover is such a celebrity, who could have predicted that he actually met him.

Dr. Kamiyo said with a wry smile at us who were speechless with surprise.

"Mr. Kikuoka didn't tell me about that area."

"Uh-huh"

All of a sudden, I got nervous. Although I heard that it was Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover, I didn't expect it to be the famous scientist Dr. Kamiyo. Not knowing what to do, Dr. Kamiyo took a gentle step into the store.

"Let's sit down first."

"Ah, ah, yes."

Under the leadership of Dr. Kamiyo, we moved forward in the empty store. Then near the innermost seat, Dr. Kamishiro sat in a chair, and we also sat in the chair in a face-to-face format.

If you look ahead, there is the famous Dr. Kamiyo. Just meeting Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover was nervous enough, but with a celebrity named Dr. Kamiyo coming, the intensity of tension has become unprecedented. Shino is the same.

Where do I start? She exudes an atmosphere of calm and sorrow.

"Kiritani-kun, let me read your words. Kirito of the complete SAo event record, what do you say? ”

"Ah, ah, yes. Speaking of Dr. Kamidai, no, has Mr. Kamidai read it? A complete collection of SAo event records. ”

"Ah, the e-book version. It's also available in the U.S., but I can read Japanese normally, so I can read the original. ”

As Kikuoka said. Dr. Kamiyo read the complete SAo incident records and learned about us, as well as the SAo incident.

Then read it.,The SAo incident hero Kirito's thing.。 Shino, who didn't know about it, whispered to me in a daze.

"SAo Event Logs? What's that, Kirito? ”

"More on that later."

It's rare that Shino eats it like this. Dr. Kamiyo let out a wry sigh.

"I thought that person was what kind of adult, but I didn't expect you to be that hero Kirito. So, Shino, the retinue of the hero Kirito, turned out to be such a person. ”

"So far, only my buddies have known about it. It seems that Mr. Kamiyo joined the feeling today. ”

"Don't be so nervous, I don't blame you."

Dr. Kamiyo said this, bowing his head slightly. This is a picture of feelings that are cared for in the heart.

"yes. I won't blame you. On the contrary, I am even more to blame. Not just you, but all the SAo survivors, I am to blame. ”

Hearing Dr. Kamiyo's words, the tension in my heart disappeared somewhere in an instant.

By the way, although he recognized that he was a great developer of healthcare, this person was Akihiko Kayaba's ex-lover. Akihiko Kayaba is a person who knows a lot of things that we don't know. And judging from the current words, it seems that there are also stories related to the SAo incident.

Say hello to Dr. Kamiyo who is concerned.

"What does that mean? No, why did the god call us? ”

Dr. Kamiyo looked up. The calm atmosphere that had just now disappeared, and a sad expression appeared.

"Stop his hero Kirito and his companion Shino. I think if you know about that person's sin and fight that person, you will be able to speak. During your time in SAo, the man's thing, the sin I committed there. ”

"Sin"

Shino reacted strongly to that sentence. Dr. Kamishiro couldn't find—no, could find—like this, and I quietly put my right hand on Shino's hand. After that, Dr. Kamiyo began to weave language again.

"Kiritani-kun, Mr. Asada. Do you know what happened to that person's body when they were diving in SAo? ”

"No, I don't know. All I know is that Akihiko Kayaba's body was found at the mountain villa in Nagano Prefecture, and because there is no trace of movement, it has always been there"

"Yes. That person had been at that lodge since the SAo incident. So he kept asking me to take care of my body. ”

Shino and I were both taken aback. When the body of Kayaba was found at a mountain resort in Nagano Prefecture, there was only one person there, so I thought that Kayaba had always been there alone, and this was also reported in society.

"Kamidai-sensei maintains Kayaba's body?"

"Huh? Even that person can't continue to log in without any means. So that guy asked me to take care of him. I planted a long-range detonation type of miniature bomb in my mind to threaten it. \"

I almost froze with that. Kayaba had been threatening Dr. Kamiyo when he became Heathcliff in SAo, something he had never heard of at all. No, I probably heard about it somewhere, but that content has been forgotten.

"Did Akihiko Ashiba do something like that to you?"

"Huh? With a bomb planted in his body, he was forced to assist in that terrible plan - and that is how it is in society. \"

"Huh?"

Tilting his head with Shino. Dr. Kamiyo shook his head.

"But that's not true. That person had planned to keep me from being arrested after the incident was over. So although I participated in the plan, I still did not prosecute and punished, and I fled to the United States without a real-name report. ”

Dr. Kamiyo added a hand just below the left collarbone, just near the heart. I'm afraid it's a place where bombs are planted.

"After that incident ended, I underwent surgery at the police hospital. The bomb found there is indeed real. However, I knew that the person didn't want to detonate something that wouldn't detonate from the beginning. The bomb was detonated to mislead the eyes of the world. "Cinnabar. It was a gift from that person who wanted me not to be arrested after the incident was over.

That man is definitely not a demon scientist as the world would say. I want to tell you about this anyway, and you decided after fighting that person. “

I felt a tremendous emotional activity from Dr. Kamiyo's voice. And I know that not all that statement is a lie. No, before Dr. Kamiyo said it, I thought Akihiko Kayaba was a so-called demon scientist mud science and I understood that this was not the case.

"I know. I don't think even if he did something like that, he wouldn't be a demon scientist. I also learned a lot about him in that world. ”

In society, it is called a demon and a crazy man, but it is actually a cottage for the culprit of the "bad runaway man". But in that kind of cottage, there is also a beloved daughter named Martel. From here on, it must be the words that the daughter of the kayaba named Lilan should listen to now.

Dr. Kamiyo asked me.

"Kiritani-kun, what did you hear from that person? What did you hear from that person after making a decision with that person? ”

I immediately took out my smartphone and operated it. Open the phonebook, select the person you're talking to, and display a name on the display. Kayaba later existed like this, and she was the daughter of Kayaba's love.

Like the bomb that Dr. Kamiyo planted in his chest, it can be said that he was a gift from Kayaba.

I asked Dr. Kamiyo as I showed the name.

"Before I talk about that, I'd like to introduce it to Mr. Kamiyo."

"Someone you'd like to introduce?"

"Yes. In the SAo event log, I have a white dragon. Actually, that guy grew up in the Argas Kayama, and the AI was the guy who became my partner by accident. ”

In the next moment, I felt Dr. Kamiyo's eyes open. I don't mind continuing.

"The guy thought Kayaba was as cute as a daughter, and after the decisive battle, he entrusted it to me. Then he gave me a program to make VRmmo, and said, "That daughter can create a world with them."

"—Martel"

I turned my gaze away from my smartphone to Dr. Kamiyo. Dr. Kamiyo stared at my phone in surprise. And then from that mouth, a name that I thought I didn't know except for us came out.

Dr. Kamiyo continued.

"Is that AI's name Martel?"

Martel.

This is Lilan's real name, and it should only be known to us and Akihiko Kayaba. This person knew that name, and Shino and I were dumbfounded. Dr. Kamiyo said a little quickly, asking about quality just came.

"That AI is there now. It's your partner. You can talk about it here. ”

"Well, yes. I want him to hear from you too."

Dr. Kamiyo's face did not change and he did not say anything. But that face did say, "Call that AI." I wordlessly operated my phone and started the call. After two calls, the smartphone and the computer world were connected, and a voice was heard.

"Hey, is it Japanese?"

"Lilan"

"Didn't you say there was an arrangement today so you didn't log in? Going out at the time of that incident, what's wrong? ”

Lilan said that she couldn't log in because she had a plan in advance. However, the news of the meeting with Dr. Rinko Kamiyo was not conveyed.

"Today, it's actually Akihiko Aoba who met your father's ex-lover. I want to give you what that man has to say. ”

\"Is Akihimeko's lover a lover!? \"

Lilan, on the other side of the smartphone, made a surprised sound. When I heard that my father had a lover, that person met us, which was a natural reaction.

And before I could answer, Lilan spoke to me quickly.

"You're talking about AKhIKo's lover, right? Is it in front of you, or is it listening to the story? What's that person's name!? “

"That man is right in front of you. The name is Rinko Kamiyo. It's a developer of healthcare—"

\"Give it to me Reiko\"

After that, Lilan calmed down. A partner who repeats a change that is too abrupt. Sure enough, I was worried, so I greeted him.

"Lilan, what's wrong? \"

"Kirito, hang that person on the phone."

Smartphones have become TV call mode. The monitor shows Lilan with the camera on the other side. Then Lilan's face became very startled. Moreover, I haven't seen it until now, and even the intonation has been restored. It's not unusual for Lilan to have such a face.

Not wanting to say anything, I quietly handed over my phone to Dr. Kamidai. Switch to TV call mode.

"Well, that's the AI that's reflected here. Now it's called Lilan, and it used to be called Martel."

Dr. Kamiyo quietly took my phone and peeked at the screen. I was even more surprised when I saw that I was about to cry.

and Lilan on my phone stared at each other for a few seconds, and it was Dr. Kamidai who spoke first.

"Martel"

\"Ringau\"

"Martel, is that you, is that you?"

"Reiko, it's Reiko, right?"

Dr. Kamiyo's voice trembled. There were tears in my eyes, and I was about to overflow.

"You know about me?"

"I know, you won't forget, we met again, finally met\"

Lilan, like Dr. Kamidai, replied in a trembling voice.

\"Mom\"

Hearing the sound coming from the speaker, Dr. Kamidai shed tears, and we were at a loss. hhp, the AI that needs to be completed for the purpose of healing the human spirit, has grown up by meeting and chatting with various people, searching for things and gathering information in the network.

Because he has so much knowledge, it seems tricky to be surrounded by developers, but even so, Martel's knowledge itself is very happy, and he comes into contact with various developers every day, starts conversations, sneaks into the network, and indulges in collecting all kinds of information.

That Martel had a father and a mother. His father's name is Akihiko Kayaba. The mother's name is Ellie Serizawa. Although the two gave birth to Martel, they are not related by blood. So, although not the presence of the parents, the two of them, like the father and mother I saw online, came into contact with Martel and taught me all sorts of things. Because of this, Martel regarded Akihiko Ashiba as his father and Serizawa Airi as his mother, and called his parents to admire him.

Although he was created, he had a father and a mother - I don't know when Martel started to think so, maybe it started there. The idea of wanting to know things and wanting to know more is impressed.

Driven by his own inner curiosity, Martel gathers information and grows. Because that was what the people who created Martel's Agas had hoped, no one condemned Martel, and Martel grew up anywhere.

The development of such Martel began about three months later. Martel came with a woman. The woman whose name is Rinko Kamiyo is a person who values Akihiko Kayaba as a father very much, and she said that she came into contact with Martel.

At first, Rinko seemed to think that Martel was incredible, and she said very little. Even the conversation has a lot of things that can't be continued, and sometimes it can even make people look confused.

However, this is not the first time that I have seen Martel who is not interested in the importance of his father, Akihiko Kayaba, for the first time in my continuous study, but no matter how confused that person is, he will continue to talk and report what he has learned.

On days like this, Rinko's atmosphere became calmer, and at some point she began to increase the number of days and hours she spent going to Martel's.

Rinko comes to Martel and gives her knowledge and information. The words and information he heard from Rinko, of course, Martel searched the Internet, but none of them were popular. Rinko told me that I couldn't run in the network, and gave me information that I didn't know in the network. Give yourself what you are lacking.

At some point, Martel began to miss Rinko like that, and felt that the time spent with Rinko was very happy - in which Martel felt that Rinko was another mother.

I have a father named Kizuhiko Kayaba, and I have two mothers, Ellie Serizawa and Rinko Kamiyo. Saying this, Rinko was happy while crying, saying that it would be good to say that it was Martel's mother.

Since then, Martel has enjoyed his time with his father and two mothers when SAo was completed and deployed to Ain Clyde——。

"I see. Kamiyo-sensei is your mother."

"yes. If Ellie gave birth to my mother, Lin Zi is the mother who raised me. So I have two moms. ”

Lilan, who attended the conversation with Dr. Kamiyo Rinko, was surprised to hear Dr. Kamiyo's name. Dr. Kamiyo was the same, and as soon as he started to make a phone call on his smartphone, the two of them suddenly burst into tears.

Then Lilan returned to her original tone and spoke to Dr. Kamidai. and "Mom". We weren't able to keep up with the suddenness of the development, but we must have noticed it, and Lilan returned to her true self, Martel, and told me everything.

"Could it be that even the god teacher has cultivated Martel?"

In response to Shino's words, Dr. Kamiyo nodded. There are clear traces of crying in the corners of the eyes. Those tears were not because of sadness, but because of joy.

"Well, I met martel in Argas. At that time, I was introduced to the director of development and the director of SAo, Kimi Kayaba, and Ellie, a junior who had a good relationship with me. Ellie said, "It's my daughter." Kayaba-kun said, "I don't know why I call me dad," and when he met that daughter, I can still remember it as if it was yesterday. Startled to me, I dived with a borrowed Naf gear and discovered that there was an AI that looked like a real human child. “

The technology of HHP and their successor, MHCP, remains the technology of the old Argus. Needless to say, even if a Japanese company tries to find a company overseas, it does not have the same humane AI as mhhp and mhcp. Dr. Kamiyo's surprise when he saw these things can be easily understood.

"At first, I didn't even know how to get close to Martel, I was confused. But Martel was interested in me and was not at all wary. Martel is very close to people, cheerful, spirited and gentle. I don't think it's a lie if it's AI. "In the distance.

It's not a matter to be in contact with Martel, but to help develop Nafgia and SAo, and Martel has a good relationship. On days like this, I think Martel is very cute, and if I had a child with Kayaba-kun, maybe it would be such a child.

I dated Kayaba for six years in college, and I talked a lot, and the second half was already full of Martel's words. It seems to be very noisy, and Kayaba-kun is not very rough. And it is said that Martel also has a younger brother, so I also wanted to ask him. “

The calm of Dr. Kamiyo's face is impressed. Same as Shino.

Shino and I have a child named Yui, but Shino's face becomes very calm when she comes into contact with Yui. Like a real mother, pure love expressions. The one who looks the same is Dr. Kamiyo.

She was undoubtedly Martel's mother.

\"You love me, Martel. \"

"Well, I can confidently say that. I love Martel. It is said that he also loves Kayaba-kun, who is called a father by such Martel. Although I may be thinking about willful things, for me Kayaba-kun is my husband and my daughter is Martel. ”

A shadow fell on the face of Dr. Kamidai, who answered my question.

"So, when the SAo incident happened, I felt as if it had collapsed. The mastermind of the SAo incident was Kayaba-kun, and I heard that Martel was also planning to be incorporated into the SAo. Martel is also trapped in SAo, as if he casually killed Martel by Kayaba-kun. ”“

“”

So, I remembered the map of the mountain resort in Nagano Prefecture that I left in Kayaba-kun's car navigation system, and I went there. Cast the police surveillance, relying only on memory. Completely covered in mud. So when I got to the villa, I took my knife with me. In order to kill Kayaba-kun"

I swallowed. She fell in love with Martel. I also love Kayaba. So when the SAo incident happened, it was like Martel, who was robbed of his love by the Kayama.

So she may be trying to help Martel by killing the Kayakiba, or to avenge Martel.

"However, Kayaba-kun saw through me as I walked to the villa. I was armed with a knife and wanted to kill myself, all I wanted to know. At that time, Kayaba-kun was thin and thin, his beard was bald, and there were traces everywhere that he told me. "What a difficult man. Martel is safe and sound. ”。 Then I won't be able to kill Kayaba-kun, and as a result, I still have to take care of Kayaba-kun's body, and I will participate in the plan in the end."

Dr. Kamiyo began to cry again. Martel whispered "Linko".

Dr. Kamiyo knows. If you kill the Kayama, you will take away Martel's beloved father. She took Martel's father and became the worst mother. Although he also has a love for Kayaba himself, it is precisely because he has always maintained his love for Martel that Dr. Kamiyo has done nothing for Kayaba.

And Kayaba herself knows that she did not give up her love for Martel after the SAo incident, nor did she lose her qualifications as Martel's mother. Because of this, a bomb that is actually a fake was planted on her to make her innocent.

"As a result, I continued to support Kayaba-kun's plan in the end. I'm an accomplice to Kayaba-kun. Just like I said, there are 4,000 victims who died in the SAo incident, so I can't help but be resented by you SAo survivors. ”

We could only look at Dr. Kamiyo motionlessly. Soon, Dr. Kamiyo stared at his daughter across the smartphone.

"But I can't forget Martel. After the SAo incident was resolved, after the end of Ain Clyde, I felt that Martel was erased. But I'm also wondering if Martel is still alive somewhere.

And that's not all. Kayaba-kun failed to kill, and there are also thoughts that if he kills Kayaba-kun, Martel will also die. I want to see Martel. For the sake of this casual desire, I will continue to maintain Kayaba-kun's body and continue to support that plan."

Dr. Kamiyo said with tears streaming down his face. It seems to be full of the emotion that I raised.

After the SAo incident, she had been holding on to her mind that she had to tell us about the SAo survivors. That's when the feelings in her heart were also involved, and they appeared around us like this. We could only stare at that and listen to her.

Soon, Dr. Kamiyo quietly added a hand to my smartphone, which was reflected in Martel.

"Martel, I'm no longer qualified to be considered your mother. I couldn't stop your father. I have been assisting your father in his terrible plan, only to increase the number of victims. Because you hate death, I don't want to kill your father. "I put it off until I ended up with nothing to do. Like your father, I was the mastermind of the SAo incident that killed four thousand people. You hate that kind of big sinner is actually a mother."

Martel didn't send a voice. Maybe I don't know how to answer.

Indeed, if Dr. Kamiyo had been able to kill Kayaba, perhaps the four thousand people would have suffered fewer casualties.

However, if Kayaba is killed by Dr. Kamiyo, then Kayaba orders Nafgia to destroy the brain of all players who are imprisoned in their respective SAo, and the possibility of killing them all cannot be abandoned.

And if the eventual manager, Kayaba, is dead, Hannibal and his subordinates, who took advantage of that occasion to plot a plan even more vicious than the SAo affair, and his subordinate "Bad Runaways" – should it be called "Mahalbal" now—are even more aggressive, making the plan even more ferocious, and perhaps finally conquering the society and the world.

It is true that Kayaba was a vicious criminal who killed 4,000 people, but he was not one of those people.

Not so much Hannibal as a collaborator dedicated to the destruction of a malevolent existence. Because he has been using Kayaba, Dr. Kamiyo can also be said to be one of the collaborators.

I was about to talk about that. Martel wrote back to Dr. Kamidai.

"Reiko, that's not what I thought."

"Huh?"

Myrtle made a gentle voice that made one think when he had heard such a voice. Dr. Kamiyo stared blankly at Martel.

"Reiko misses me. When SAo started, he couldn't see me anymore, he didn't even know if I existed, but he believed me. So, Akihiko was not killed. Please don't kill my dad. "Yes. That's enough for me.

If Reiko kills her father, I won't be able to tell my father what she really thinks. Because I couldn't hear my father's words either. So I didn't think of Reiko like that. “

"Mertel"

"That's right, Reiko. I told my dad about it, too. Dad did have such a vicious incident as SAo, which took the lives of countless people. But I don't think I hate Dad, I'm not a Dad. Because my father has cultivated my affairs until now, he has poured love into me who should be just a simple show.

Daddy is not allowed to do anything. Reiko, who has always kept her father alive, must be the same. I think both of them are great sinners. However, I definitely don't hate Dad and Reiko. I'm not going to push you away. Because of Reiko"

Martel let out a deep breath. Soon, in order to match the palm of Dr. Kamiyo added on the screen of the phone, he put his palm on the camera.

"Because my mom just cultivated my show, it's my mom who loves me."

It's the same thing as saying to Kayaba at some point. That's also the embodiment of Martel's pure thoughts.

In general society, Kayaba and Dr. Kamiyo are the murder weapon criminals who killed four thousand players. However, because Martel knows that the two are not so many people, he will never say anything like hating the two of them and not being parents.

And so am I. I greeted Dr. Kamiyo, who had tears in his eyes.

"Teacher Kamiyo. Kayaba is indeed a great sinner. What you do can also be a great sin. But I don't hate Dr. Kamidai's thing. ”

"Huh?"

I put the feelings and thoughts I had gathered in my heart about Kayaba to the top of the mountain and expressed them in words.

"No, I have a hatred for the Kayama. The cottage caused four thousand victims. Among those 4,000 people, there are also important people to me. The thought of what a terrible and painful memory of their death filled me with the feeling of not being able to forgive the Kayaba. Kayaky is the guy who took away important things from us players. But that's not all. “

I picked up Shino's hand again, which was sitting next to me, and put my hand on Martel's basket on my smartphone. Shino, Martel, and Dr. Kamiyo all widened their eyes.

"In that world, I met Shino and Martel and spent it together. It's not just them. I met a lot of important people in that world, and I spent the bitterness and joy together. That time was an irreplaceable treasure for me. My time in that world made me who I am now. to modify the display properties of the marker element. If I hadn't gone to SAo, if the SAo incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't have met Shino and Martel, who kept the door closed..."

Shino called to me softly. A warm, tickling, wonderful feeling welled up in his chest.

"And the Kayaky gave me the seed to create a world where I could live with Martel's family. So I'm grateful for the kayaba that changed me like this and gave me a lot of important things. Of course, don't kill the grounds. "Mr. Kamiyo also has it. I am very grateful to you."

Dr. Kamiyo looked at me in amazement. You didn't expect me to say something like that. She had always thought she would be reproached by us. With this in mind, she came here. This time Shino conveyed language to her.

"Me too. I was stuck there before I went to that world. I don't want to open up to anyone. However, because I was trapped in that world, I met Kirito and got an agreement to be together all the time. I'm locked up in that world, too. "Because of the things I spent with the Kirito people who were locked up, it has always been able to become a good direction.

I don't think the world will forgive Akihiko Kayaba, and what he did will definitely not be forgiven. However, the reason why I changed was because I was able to meet Kirito thanks to SAo made by Akihiko Kayaba. So I don't hate Dr. Kamiyo either, and I don't hate him. “

Shino's face conveyed in this way is very calm. There is no doubt that he is really expressing what is in his heart. Together with Shiina, I put my hand on Dr. Kamiyo's hand and covered Dr. Kamiyo's hand.

"So Mr. Kamiyo, please don't blame yourself like that. Maybe that's not what I said, but please make amends for your sins with what you can do. You also have loving daughters. ”

Dr. Kamiyo kept staring at our faces, and soon Martel on the smartphone said softly.

"It's really nice to see Reiko again and talk to her. Although I haven't been able to say it, I still like my mother."

The feelings of my daughter that I have never heard of. That sentence was accurately conveyed to Dr. Kamiyo. Dr. Kamiyo's eyes were filled with large hazy tears, and he covered his mouth with the hands of the rest of the people.

"Martel Martel"

Dr. Kamiyo reached out to his daughter with his hand wrapped around our hands, whimpering and crying. What she had been hiding in her heart, what had been oppressing her, disappeared from her heart.

"Sorry for showing you the ugly place"

Dr. Kamidai, who had been crying for a few minutes surrounded by us, has now stopped crying. Although we had just been with her, perhaps because she was Martel's mother, we didn't feel any annoying mood even when she cried.

On the contrary, I am very happy to know that Akihiko Kayaba's lover is such a wonderful person.

"It's ugly. It's nice to say that I seem to have become a god-sensei. ”

"Well, thanks to you, I feel like I've been helped a lot. It feels lighter. I didn't expect you guys to help me so much when I first met. ”

Dr. Kamiyo smiled at us sitting side by side.

"Kirito and Shino, you are very good people. Because of this, you became the heroes who passed through SAo, and maybe Kayaba-kun was stopped. ”

"No, we were able to pass SAo because there were so many people who assisted us. Because we all work together, we can put an end to that world. ”

Dr. Kamiyo said, "Yes," but Shino immediately greeted her.

"That, Kamiyo-sensei. If Kamiyo-sensei is one of Martel's mothers, you know about the other mother. ”

"Ah, you mean Martel's biological parents, it was Serizawa Ellie who created Martel, the one who was in the same Agas as Kayaba-kun. That daughter was my junior in college. Although I am a junior, I am a senior because I was born early. ”

Later, I learned that the university where Elis/Serizawa Eri graduated from the same university as Akihiko Kayaba and Rinko Kamiyo is in the Shigemura Laboratory of Toto Institute of Technology. With Kayaba as the minister, she seems to be researching and developing AI, and has been a subordinate of Kayaba ever since. Dr. Kamiyo continued to speak with an air of nostalgia.

"I got along very well with her, when she first came in, she was the lead programmer at Argas, and if it was AI research and development, she was like an unbeatable girl, but she was really an ordinary girl. If I speak my hometown dialect "senior, I will speak Chinese." ”

The two of them were taken aback by the content. Dr. Kamiyo speaks in Kansai dialect, which is also Kyoto.

Ellie's birthplace has never been known, and Shino doesn't know either, but Ellie seems to have been born in Kyoto. There was no sign of speaking Kyoto at all, which was too unexpected.

In this way, Asuka Chana said that Yuuki's main home is in Kyoto. Furthermore, the main house of Kaimonya Shrine is also in Kyoto. And Ellie is a genius AI researcher from Kyoto. Heck, aren't there three people who have a relationship with Kyoto? I seem to have a lot of people around me who are connected to Kyoto.

The encounter with Martel was also introduced by Ellie, who said that Martel was her daughter. The daughter said Martel was so cute, and I don't know when Martel became cute. I was also influenced by Oita Ellie. Although you didn't say it was cute to your face, it wasn't very satisfying. “

Dr. Kamiyo had a nostalgic look on his face. Speaking of which, Ellie and Dr. Kamiyo have a pretty good relationship with their seniors and juniors. Hearing this, Shino had a happy expression on her face. Some people have a good relationship with their mentors.

But it wasn't long before Dr. Kamiyo showed an expression of noticing something.

"Huh? Why are you talking about Ellie? Do you know Ellie? \"

"Hey, doesn't Mr. Kamidai know? Teacher Ellie worked as a psychiatrist after the dissolution of Agas. ”

"So Dr. Ellie, you're my attending doctor."

Dr. Kamiyo looked rather surprised. It seems like the first time I've heard Ellie's story after Agas.

"Is Ellie a psychiatrist? It is true that she entered the university only after becoming a psychologist, and she also has a psychiatrist's medical license, and Agas was a psychiatrist after her dissolution. ”

"Yes, Dr. Ellie has been very nice to me. Using a conditioner made by Dr. Kamiyo, it also treated me, so I was caught up in SAo. ”

"Caught up in SAo? You went to SAo with Ellie. ”

I told the astonished Dr. Kamiyo about Shino and Ellie to some extent. At the end of the conversation, Dr. Kamiyo had a difficult expression to deal with.

"When using the conditioner, there was a fission inside the SAo, and Ellie did just that."

"Huh?"

"That girl's safety and AI development ability are the best in the laboratory. Her characteristic is that what the girl makes, what the girl sets, neither collapses nor cares, and has an unusually strong security. Such an Ellie will be taken away by SAo. "It's weird."

Indeed, when talking to Ellie, safety is always required to be strong. That's something that hasn't changed since college days, and she also seems to be a very good person at safety.

"So, what happened to Ellie and you?"

"At SAo, Ms. Ellie has given us a lot of support. He said that we can pass SAo, which is our own compensation as a SAo developer. Thanks to the help of Miss Ellie, we were able to pass SAo. Martel also taught them things very well."

Dr. Kamiyo didn't change his expression as if he was stuck in something. There seems to be something unacceptable.

"That girl also changed her mood because of the SAo incident?"

"That, Kamiyo-sensei?"

A shadow appeared on Dr. Kamiyo's face again. It seems that I want to say something I don't want to say.

"I don't think I'm going to think about it that way, Ellie has an inexplicable feeling that it's the same as Kayaba, and there are times in the middle of her abdomen when she doesn't know how to talk about her family, and like Kayaba-kun, there is also a dangerous part that she doesn't know what to do. Because of this Ellie, I assisted you, and it was a bit of a surprise that the daughter made me call me by name in addition to me."

Dr. Kamiyo's words are not incomprehensible.

In fact, many times I don't know whether that person is pushing my heart or not, and sometimes I will put on a serious look to compliment others and tease others. Even if this seems like an inexplicably dangerous part of the kayaba, it's not surprising.

However, thanks to Ellie's assistance, we survived SAo and came back. The fact that she is a benefactor has not changed.

"Miss Ellie is a strange person in our eyes. But, with our assistance, let's get back from SAo. ”

"We came out of SAo because of the assistance of Ms. Ellie, who is still doing a lot for us to this day. \"

After the two of them asserted, Dr. Kamiyo stopped showing an embarrassed expression and began to create a calm atmosphere again. The knots in my heart seem to have dissipated.

"I see. When the SAo incident happened, Ellie wondered why, but the daughter also faced the SAo incident in the same way that daughter. After listening to it, I was relieved.

So Mr. Asada, Ellie is still your attending doctor? ”

Shino leaked out of her voice "ah". Ellie is indeed the attending doctor who does Shino. However, at one point, he resigned from his position as a psychiatrist and returned to his original AI researcher. And I don't seem to know where to do such research now.

"Actually, Ms. Ellie has resigned from her position as a psychiatrist, so it seems that she has returned to her original AI research work, as for where to work."

Shino explained unnaturally, and Dr. Kamiyo smiled wryly. It seems to predict Shino's explanation.

"Sure enough, I thought it was. \"

"Huh?"

"That girl is a straight line in AI research. I know how to cook like me, but I don't have any interest in other than that. She really is a daughter who doesn't learn anything but AI research and the necessary knowledge. ”

Since then, Dr. Kamiyo's words have been eye-opening.

First of all, Ellie Elementary School is only about the sixth grade, surrounded by junior high school students and high school students, and she enrolls in universities in the United States to study psychology and AI research. The reason is that psychology and AI research cannot be studied in ordinary elementary and junior high schools, but in the United States, and the desire to study psychology and AI research has reached the level of desire.

Also, when I was about 14 years old when I was trapped in SAo, I felt like I had obtained my license as a psychologist and a doctor's license as a psychiatrist at a university in the United States. In addition, the company at that time produced several software that made use of high-performance AI that could not be produced at the time, and sold it to the company, and received a huge amount of money as Kayaba.

Then, when I returned to Japan, I joined Agas and became the chief programmer. Kayaba and Dr. Kamiyo are together with Gakusha, and they have been working on AI research as well.

After saying the detailed experience that he should have heard from himself, Dr. Kamiyo sighed softly.

"Ellie and Kayaba, you're an unexpected person. However, in my opinion, both Ellie and Kayaba are just sprout children squatting at home. Just like a college student, the relationship is good. And Ellie is obviously a daughter who can do such things, but she is very close to me. ”。 The current experience is all told to me by Ellie. “

"Ellie-sensei, that's the kind of person you are"

Once again, I knew that my benefactor was an unexpected person, and Shino and I could only keep our eyes open. In this way, in the past, Ellie and Seven had a similar atmosphere, and it felt like the two had something in common.

The reason is that Ellie and Seven have been scientists since they were in elementary school and have accumulated huge assets.

"That girl is very persistent and thoughtful about AI research. So, even if you are a psychiatrist, it can't last long. However, it is precisely because she is so focused on AI research that she has such a wonderful daughter as Martel. Really, I'm surrounded by strange people. “

That's right. Shino and I were both very helpful with Yui made by Ellie and Martel, Streya, and Yupiter. It's because Ellie lives only on AI research that she was able to create them that help us live together. Shino is sad, but she didn't plan to be a psychiatrist for a long time from the beginning.

The atmosphere of Dr. Kamiyo, who talks about the younger generations like this, is completely different from when they met, and it has become softer. There is a refreshing atmosphere, as if you have vomited out all the things that have accumulated in your heart.

"Ellie is a strange girl, but she's still a junior I'm proud of. So, if you have a conversation right now, please make sure you get along well. Because she doesn't have any friends at all. ”

"Teacher Ellie is a benefactor who helps us, and we will get along well in the future."

"Please do that."

As he spoke, Dr. Kamishiro took out his smartphone and checked the monitor. Immediately open your mouth slightly and make a small "ah" sound.

"Kamidai-sensei?"

"I'm sorry, Kiriya-kun is Mr. Aada. I don't really have much time. It's time to go back. ”

I saw the smartphone monitor that was in constant contact with Martel. It was past twelve o'clock in the afternoon. It's been an hour and a half since I started talking to Dr. Kamiyo.

Dr. Kamiyo is a celebrity who makes health care and can also be said to be a genius scientist. The time to talk to us is also created somehow.

"I obviously asked you to come here today, but I tossed it because of my relationship, I'm sorry."

"There's nothing like that. I am very happy that Mr. Kamidai met with us and told us stories. ”

Just like chasing Dr. Kamiyo who got up from his chair, I got up too.

"And Mr. Kamiyo, thank you."

"No, I just want to thank you. It's always nice to be able to fight that person and end your conversation in that world. ”

"Yes, but it's not all."

Dr. Kamiyo tilted his head. I just bowed my head.

"Dr. Kamidai, thank you for raising Martel."

"Huh?"

When I looked up, I found that Dr. Kamiyo was very dazed. Suddenly such a thing was said, of course.
