The number of players who have a better relationship with me has also increased, and my strength has returned to the level of communication education.

However, it was very little, not to give me the strength to go to school, nor to give me the strength not to be sad when I think of my sister. Moreover, as an older sister of a woman who has a good relationship, I haven't liked it either.

My life seems to have changed, but it hasn't changed.

But, that's at some point. One of my attending doctors, Dr. Kurahashi, called.

In any case, because of the use of a new drug for the virus found in my body, it seems that the hospital has successfully treated patients with AIDS.

Hearing that, I wanted to sigh. AIDS patients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and even South Africa have been saved by new drugs, these are the few words heard after the development of new drugs. And those patients will definitely thank the developers of the new drugs and say nothing to me. If there is no virus found from me, the developers will not be able to make new drugs.

So, although I didn't want to listen to Mr. Kurahashi, Mr. Kurahashi said something that I couldn't help but stop.

The patient couldn't get out of the clean room, but he was using a fully automatic machine like me and doing the same ALo as me. Because it's hard to meet in reality, it seems that I want to meet at ALo and thank you directly.

So, the requirements for the Avatar name and ethnicity in ALo - this is what Kurahashi-sensei said.

I wonder why it is important to tell ALo's avatar name and ethnicity, but it's no problem to tell them. Because it's not revealing important personal information. Through Dr. Kurahashi, I conveyed to the patient that my avatar was "Kem", that it was Silph.

However, there are a lot of players with such names, and there are also people with the same name in Sylph. So the chances of that person finding me are low. I won't see it anyway - thinking so, I decided to enjoy ALo's game as usual.

But, that night. I accepted the assignment and challenged the fight against the boss monster, where an intruder appeared. The intruder cleaned up the boSS monster at an unturning speed, forcing my battle with the boSS monster to end halfway.

A girl with long calamus-colored hair, a red ribbon on her head, a purple light suit, and a sword in one hand—this is the true face of the intruder. The girl approached me in a daze after the battle and said.

"You're Kaim, aren't you!? Thank you for saving me!! ”

Suddenly appeared, one saw unexpected swordsmanship, and the girl called me and said thank you for saving me.

The encounter with that daughter named Yuki changed everything for me.

"I remember very well what happened when I met you, I didn't expect it to come like that."

A mischievous voice came from the speaker. In the space that we prepared in the virtual world, it would be true to smile with such a face.

\"I want to give you a scare. Speaking of sea dreams, you really scared me. \"

"Everybody would be shocked by something like that. However, I was often approached by what Kurahashi sensei said. ”

"I asked the people in Silf and it was right away. In Silf speaking of Kim, there is nothing but Sakya's confidant Kem. Silv seems to have a lot of people named Keim. Kem is well-known. ”

"Even so, what are you going to do if you're wrong?"

\"I didn't think about it, I got a shot! Kurahashi-sensei and Jimi-sensei both laughed. In any case, it is the answer of the kapok season.

I have to admit. Thanks to the kapok season in such a reckless way of meeting, my days have changed dramatically.

"However, the encounter with Kapok Jijun has changed a lot, Haimeng-kun."

Nodding at Kurahashi-sensei's words.

"yes. I also think it's great to have a kapok season. ”

"That's what I thought, too. It's great to meet Umimu! ”

The sound of the spirit emanating from the speaker. I heard it when we met for the first time. Ever since I met Kapok Ji, I've been listening to this voice and survived.

Yuki, a girl who came out of nowhere at that time, was the patient that Dr. Kurahashi told me.

The daughter of Cotton Season Organic, whose real name is Konone, was the deepest part I went to the hospital, and she was the one who used the medical equipment that had not been installed for a long time at the time.

Later, I asked Dr. Kurahashi and Dr. Jimei, and he said that Kapok Ji had the same AIDS as my sister. It is not only Kapok Ji who is suffering from AIDS, but also my parents, my sister, and other Kapok Season's whole family, and when I met, the whole family had already died of AIDS. The kapok season itself is about to come to an end, but it is said that the new drug that was developed by being given a virus that was discovered from my body miraculously recovered.

It is said that Kapok Ji did not expect that he would be saved, thinking that he was just waiting for death like his family, but he was happy because of the change of fate and came to thank me directly.

It was a surprise for me. So far, among the patients taking the new medicine, no one has thanked me. Everyone only said that they were cured and thanked for the new medicine.

However, only Kapok Ji thanked me. I found me with ALo and thanked me.

I was surprised, but on the other hand, I was happy.

Since then, Kapok season has disowned me. When you log in, you will be greeted by Ki at first, and when you go to the mission, you will be with Ki too. The same is true for progressing the story missions.

It's worthy of Sister Sakya's escort mission, which is not like this when the lord's mansion in the Silf Lord's mansion works, but except for this time, Yuki is always with me.

Travel together in ALo, fight together, and share ups and downs together.

Yuko is different from me, always smiling and in good spirits. It doesn't matter if I'm tired – energetically waving my business. My days at ALo turned into days when I was tossed by a healthy girl named Yuki.

Thanks to such days, I was able to go to school in about three months, and I was able to regain the same energy as before my sister died. This must also be because it has been shaken by Yuko's enthusiasm.,The guild where Yuko is the captain.,All the members of the guild have become members of the patient's "sleep night", although I know, but I didn't say it.

There are incidents like being trapped by SAo, but at that time, I didn't get stuck and didn't become uneasy. Because I believe that if it's Yuko, SAo or something will break through. Although there are also people who are worried about Yuko's health, I believe that Yuko has waited for a long time.

Then Yuki actually came back from SAo one time. With my friends Kirito. When I went back to Kirito, who had been imprisoned by SAo and died, I thought Yuki had helped me find it.

Then I was able to meet Kirito who came back again, and I was able to talk to Yuki again - I got the days when Kirito \/Kirito and they played VRmmo together.

"I've been watching it since you were in the hospital, but the way you've changed since you met Kapok Ji is jaw-dropping. The kapok season has given me a good influence. ”

Teacher Zhimei said calmly. That's actually the case. Whether I can go to school or regain my motivation to some extent, it's all because of the care that Kapok season has taken care of me. Hawkers, as a price, tossed by the kapok season \/Yuki, every day lives a tired day.

Moreover, the days of this fatigue have not changed in the present when the premises have shifted to the \"SAo\".

"Hawkers, although I am played around every day, I may be very troubled by the mental state of the kapok season."

\"Huh, I see!? Didn't Haimeng already follow! \"

"Although I left with you, I still came here with great difficulty. Hope to take a break once in a while. ”

"Isn't that just Haimeng's stamina insufficient? As long as you have stamina, you can keep up. ”

"Don't put your stamina and mine together, where does your stamina come from?"

Kapok season makes a voice that seems to have an opinion. Such a conversation is also after encountering the kapok season. My sister didn't have such a conversation properly. In that conversation, I saw Kurahashi-sensei and Jimi-sensei laugh again, and I asked two people.

"Doctor Jimei, Dr. Kurahashi. Can kapok season come out? Does the new drug work? ”

The two reacted with a sudden realization. Kapok Ji was cured of AIDS by taking new medicines. There should be no hIV in the body, but Kapok Ji is still in the sterile room and has been staying in the medical room. Like other patients, there should be no need to stay in the sterile room anymore.

"yes, I was going to talk about that."

Teacher Zhimei's expression became extremely serious.

"Since giving Kapok Ji a new medicine, his condition is very good. In the kapok season, all drug-resistant hIVs that have been nested in the body for more than 14 years have been expelled by the new drug virus. Immune cells are also newly produced, so they are also provided with nutrients for other patients. "Or an intravenous drip is also possible. Kapok Ji's body is about to return to its original appearance. I think it's a little bit close."

"That's what I thought."

The story was taken over by Kurahashi-sensei. Kurahashi-sensei put his hand on his chin like Kirito, and looked up.

"The strange thing is that in the body of the kapok season, the virus of the new drug has been remaining. If you take the hIV virus contained in the new medicine, you will die directly after eating the hIV. This is a common matter confirmed by hospitals around the world, but the virus in Kapok Ji's body is only Ils, and for some reason it has been surviving. “

I tilted my head. In the body of the kapok season, hIV survives tenaciously.

"Are you saying there is still hIV in the kapok season? It takes a long time to expel hIV that lasts 14 years, is it? ”

"There's nothing like that. Even for patients who continue to have hIV as in the kapok season, if the new drug is used, the hIV will disappear completely in about two weeks. Because the new drug of the kapok season was put into use nearly two years ago, there was no residual hIV in the body during the kapok season. “

"Then why do that?"

Teacher Jimei turned her gaze from Kurahashi to me and Kapok Ji.

"I'm looking into that. Until the cause is determined, the medical examination of the kapok season cannot be interrupted, nor can the status quo of the kapok season be changed. So bear with me a little longer, Kapok season. ”

It has been a long time since Kapok Ji's body was attacked by hIV. So the kapok season should have come out, but it can't come out because something new has happened.

For me, who experienced the birth of the new drug, I was used to new things happening continuously, but I couldn't go out during the kapok season that had been locked up because of this incident, and I felt very irritated. I thought it was the time when the kapok season started to get restless – but it wasn't.

"I'm fine, I'll be out in a while, that's already a certainty."

Kapok season doesn't seem to care at all. I've been in the medical center for more than three years, so it's not painful to stay there at all. In order to reassure the enthusiasm of the kapok season, the beauty teacher nodded and signaled.

"Ah, yes. You'll be out in no time. Only this can be agreed. ”

"Then I can be patient. I'm looking forward to the day I come out of here-\"

However, Ms. Jimi's expression soon turned cloudy.

"But in the kapok season you can go out, even if you are discharged from the hospital to go somewhere"

That sentence silenced Kapok Ji.

I also know where Kapok Ji's home is, and I actually listened to it from Kapok Ji and went. If Kapok Ji is discharged from the hospital, the place where he lives will be there, and it will be demolished after a while - relatives have taken it as a good thing that Kapok Ji has been silent in the medical center and has taken it upon himself to talk about it - yes, Kapok Ji will probably be vacant when he is discharged from the hospital.

Of course, it can be canceled, but it is an adult with permission to do this. Kapok Ji is still a child, so he doesn't have that permission.

If that's the case, there are also relatives to go, but the relatives and relatives of the family of the kapok season get together well, and it seems that they hate the kapok season very much, so they can't store it.

Even if the kapok season is discharged, there is nowhere to go.

"So that's what it is. Where am I going to go when I get out of here?"

The sound of Kapok season is mixed with a rare sense of loss. Obviously, he only focused on the news that he could be discharged from the hospital and out of the medical center, and did not think about what happened after that.

Kurahashi-sensei and Jimei-sensei both looked at Kapok Ji with sad expressions. Even in hospitals, there is not a surplus for healthy people to live. Because a healthy patient needs to let him out.

"Sea Dream"

As expected, Kapok Season turned to me for help. In return, I want you to think about it for yourself, but I have something more to say.

I, who made the Kapok season schedule in place of Kapok Season myself, made something secretly.

Talking to mom and dad decided the thing.

After that, just say in the kapok season and ask if it's good.

I finally told Kapok Season about that.

"There's no place for the kapok season. I was angry, but the demolition of the house seemed to be going on. When you are discharged from the hospital, that home will definitely become an empty space. ”

"So, Kapok season. When you went back to the hospital, I talked to my mom and dad. ”

"Huh? \"

I stood up and approached the sterile room. On the other side of the thick glass, I conveyed it well to the girl with various wires connected and her head covered in a huge machine.

"Kapok season. Do my adopted sons want to be my sister? ”

Things went in a completely unforeseen direction.

His home, which had only been living for about a year, was soon demolished by the hands of relatives. Coming out of a medical center that has been in use for nearly three years, even if you are discharged from the hospital, Kapok Ji should not have a home that you should go to.

However, the new home is prepared by the benefactor Haimeng. After being discharged from the hospital, he went to the government office to apply for documents and became the adopted son of Haimeng's parents, so he lived in Haimeng's house. Kapok didn't expect such a development at all, so I was taken aback when I interviewed Jimi, Kurahashi, and Haimeng at the hospital.

It was a long time ago that I met Haemeng's parents. I happened to meet Haimeng and started to communicate, telling him that he was in the medical center, and after Haimeng came to that room, about two months later.

On one day off, as usual, Umimu and Kurahashi came in, and along with Umimeng, strange women and men came. Faced with the chaotic kapok season of a sudden scene of someone she had never seen before, it was a woman who greeted her with a smile - that person was Haimeng's mother. The next person who greeted him in a soft manner was the male, Haemeng's father.

Why did Haimeng's parents ask here, and Haimeng explained: "Because the two of them said that they wanted to see Kapok Ji no matter what." ”。

The adults who come to Kapok Ji are all related to the hospital, or relatives who hate Kapok Ji. Because those relatives always treated me with a harsh attitude, Kapok Ji didn't know when he started to hate talking to adults.

Because of what happened, it became very confusing when talking to Haimeng's parents, as if I didn't know what to do. However, Haimeng's parents are definitely not like the adults who used to come into contact with the kapok season. In the chaotic kapok season on the other side of the camera, he smiled gently and greeted me.

Haimeng's parents unknowingly heard the story of Kapok Ji from Haimeng - neither of them thought that Kapok Ji's affairs were strangers. Although Haimeng's parents met for the first time, they still talked to Kapok Ji. It doesn't take time to deal with two people like this, and fifteen minutes after you start a conversation, you can have a good conversation.

Haimeng's parents and Haimeng. Although it is a benefactor, it should only be a stranger, but when Kapok Ji was talking to the three people, he had to overlap with his previous family.

Like the disease he suffered, his father, mother, and sister died in the blink of an eye. Obviously talking to a completely different person, Kapok Ji seemed to be talking to his family, and he was very happy.

I want to talk to Haimeng and Haimeng's parents more, and we have been together more. When they first met, Kapok Ji had such a wish. Of course, such a wish is impossible to come true, but the expectation of Kapok Season was realized after Kapok Season was imprisoned by SAo and returned to the real world.

Kirito/Kirito, a partner who fights together in SAo, has made a special machine at school. It is a machine that connects VR and reality, and if you use it, you can observe the real world while using your health insurance.

I transferred that machine to Kirito's good friend Kaimeng - Kapok Ji can see the same scene as Kaimeng, and can live in the same home. Although it is separated by a machine, but in the same family of Kapok Ji, Kapok Ji's parents did not refuse. He even said that he was very happy to live with me.

It's not a home with your own family, and it's not your own family. But there are people here who treat me like real family. When Kapok Ji learned the news, he began to have the idea of wanting to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

After I was discharged from the hospital, I wanted to use my real body to meet these people in this family.

I've been thinking about something like that, and today I heard something like this from Haimeng.

If you don't have a place to go, don't you live in my house.

"Really, really good, Haimeng? Can I stay at Haemun's house after I am discharged from the hospital? ”

The interview between Umimon, Kurahashi, and Jimi is over, and Umimu comes out of the hospital where Kapok Ji was hospitalized and rocks in the train home. Unlike when he went, Haimeng had the usual machine on his shoulder, and he could talk to Kapok Ji.

On the tram home, Kapok Ji once again asked Haimeng a question. Haimeng agreed to this question.

"Didn't you say that? My mom and dad have already talked about it. After that, I only listened to Kapok Ji's answer. That's definitely what I said. ”

"It's really good. What are you going to do with the room? My room"

"I'm going to change my sister's room to a room for Kapok Season. My sister is gone. ”

When I heard that Haimeng also had a sister, it was when Kurahashi and Jimi talked about Haimeng. Haemeng and Haemon's sister were injured in a traffic accident when they were infected with hIV by blood transfusion. Haimeng is a constitution that is completely hIV tolerant, so it didn't become like that, but Haimeng's sister suffered from AIDS like herself. I heard that it was hopeless.

When I talked to Haimeng directly, how much Haimeng's sister missed Haimeng, and how much Haimeng admired her sister, it hurt so much that I understood. And Haimeng said something like there was a sister somewhere.

It would not be possible to do that in normal times, but the kapok season does not mean to deny. Although I can't see Haimeng's sister, I'm in. Believing this, when Haemeng greets her sister, she will do the same.

I was surprised that the room of the older sister was available for oneself who was discharged.

"Is that okay? Sister Sea Dream's room"

"It's okay, my sister will be happy."

"Really?"

\"Yes, even if my sister is still alive, she will tell me that we must use it together. \"

Kapok Ji looks at the side face of Haimeng across the camera. Haimeng told Kapok Ji that she still feels where her sister is - in her own home. It was supposed to be like this, but now Haimeng looks like he's going to forget about it.

"But Haimeng, there is still a sister in my sister's room"

"I think it's almost time to give up on that idea."

"Huh? \"

Haimeng slowly lowered his face. You can't see a cloudy day on your expression.

"Indeed, I think my sister is still there. However, I can't stick to my sister all the time. Even if my body doesn't grow, I'm almost going to grow up. My sister doesn't like me like this all the time. ”

Haimeng raised his head and turned to the cotton season. On the opposite side of the camera, Umi's face is reflected.

"And if the kapok season comes to the house, it can't go on like this. If the kapok season is finally good, the kapok season will become a child of mom and dad just like my sister. ”

Kapok Ji was in the room of the virtual world, snapping and repeating a few blinks.

Since meeting Haimeng, Kapok Ji has had inexplicable memories in his heart. It's hard to get to the real face. But I only know warm and cozy things. Such thoughts arise in my heart when I am with Haimeng. This matter was only told to Asuga Chana, but there was no specific answer.

If I could live with Haimeng, I would definitely have this thought in my heart every day. And then there'——。

"Well, when I was in the hospital, I said it was good, but Kapok Ji and I had to talk about it again. The result still depends on the answer of the kapok season at that time, so it is better to say it first. ”

"That, Umi Dream"

"Huh?"

Haimeng was in a daze at what was suddenly interrupted. The timing of the speech can be a bit bad. But the kapok season goes on.

"Tell you now. I want to be the adopted son of the Uemin family. As I answered just now, I can be the child of Haimeng's father and mother. can become a brother and sister relationship with Haimeng. ”

“！”

Haimeng's eyes opened slightly. The surrounding guests could not hear the sound of the kapok season at all. Because only the earphones connected to the front of the headphone terminals of the machine, which are connected to the ears of Haimeng, will output the sound of Kapok Ji.

"So, if this can really become like this, I'd better have a room with Haimeng"

"Huh!?"

Haimeng's screams filled the room with wood spirits, and Kapok Ji couldn't help but cover his ears. Because the sound of Haimeng is conveyed to Kapok Ji's hearing itself, it has no meaning.

Probably noticed the loud noise, Haimeng coughed quietly in order to let the people around him know, and then put the microphone of the headphones close to his mouth and whispered.

"Well, what are you talking about? My room is the only room I can live in. \"

"That's fine. I want to live with Haimeng. I also want to live in a room with Haimeng. ”

"Why? I have my own room, why do you want to live in my room? ”

Because I want to be together - I want to say this, but I can't say anything. Is it because the place is not good.

No, it's not like that. I don't know why I feel so shy when I want to say this. The shyness that I hadn't felt until now came to my heart and blocked my throat.

Kapok Ji replied while being in a hurry and not being able to say something important.

"Sea Dream's room was quieter. Look, it's also Haimeng's room where this machine is placed, and Haimeng's room knows where there is. I'm used to it! ”

Haimeng covered her face with one hand and sighed. Actions that can be seen in both the real world and the VR world.

"What are you going to do if you want to sleep in my room? Doesn't that mean sleeping in the same bed? Either way, it doesn't work. ”

I couldn't help but plop. The feeling I felt with Haimeng, I knew that the closer I was to Haimeng, the bigger it was. If I can sleep in the same bed as Haimeng, I can maximize the magnification - I feel as comfortable as possible.

So I wanted to live in a room with Haimeng and sleep in the same bed as Haimeng, but I was seen through by Haimeng at that time.

"My bed, it's not like two people can't sleep if you work hard, but considering the sleeping appearance or something, it's not enough at all."

\"It's okay. I don't sleep that badly. SAo slept in a rather narrow bed. \"

"It's not like that, it's me. I don't necessarily don't knock the cotton season I slept with out of bed. I don't want to do that in the right season. ”

Kapok Season was stunned again. It's not the same as expected. Haimeng is not living with me yet, you are still worried about me.

"Haimeng, are you worried about me?"

"Of course. Even if you come to my house, you will get sick in the cotton season. Moreover, if the new medicine is delayed in the cotton season, it will cause various complications and infections, which is very dangerous and the body is not yet well. "The planks of labor must be changed."

Sea Dream turns to the machine. Beyond the camera, Haimeng and Kapok Ji's eyes crossed.

"Kapok Ji's illness is the same as my sister's. So, I'm going to worry about that too. Not only me, but also my mom and dad. Soon after I was discharged from the hospital, I was worried about the kapok season. ”

Kapok Ji was stunned again, but felt something rising from his chest. The warm and incredible mood I felt when I was with Haimeng. It can be said that the warm thoughts of the superior version spread in my heart.

Dad, Mom, and Sister are all dead, and I'm the only one left. Kapok season has always thought so. The people who help me, the people who cherish me, I don't hate. That's what I thought.

But it's not the same.

Haimeng saved me.

Haimeng's parents treated me warmly.

Don't leave me alone.

There are people who are worried about me.

There is indeed someone who can give me this incredible warmth.

And then I'll live with those people in the future.

When I thought of what happened at that time, I was so happy that tears were about to flow out, but Kapok Ji blinded it and laughed.

"Thank you, Haimeng. I also want to thank my parents who are dreaming of the sea."

"That's fine, but first you have to heal quickly. Hawkers,Because Mr. Zhimei is analyzing it.,I think it'll be fine soon.。 ”

Zhimei said that the reason why she couldn't stop using alpha-fetoprotein was because she still had a new drug virus floating on her body.

It's strange that a virus that would have died as long as it completed the mission is still alive. Zhimei said that it cannot be taken out of health care until the cause is identified.

However, it is Jimei who has the technology that can be famous in the world. We will definitely find out the cause immediately and take it out of medical care. Kapok season only believes this.

"Ah, I'm a foodie, first of all, I take supplements. My body, when I used to look at it, turned into phosphorus. ”

"It does feel like the muscles aren't very good. Rehabilitation may also require a lot. ”

It is said that using the same medicuboid shinon\/shino who was trapped by SAo, it is said that when diving, the body is moderately burdened and exercised according to the doctors. Therefore, after clearing the SAo, there is no rehabilitation training and the action begins.

Thanks to you, he also helped Kirito, who was also trapped in SAo like a mummy, to rehabilitate, but his position was that of Kirito at the time. I have AIDS, a disease that I need to avoid contact with the outside world, and I am still in the clean room. It is impossible to put a burden and exercise on one's own body.

If you leave the medical center, you will have to undergo a long period of rehabilitation.

"In that case, can Haimeng help me?"

"That's what I intended. Moreover, mom is also interested, don't worry. ”

Haimeng seemed difficult to answer, but Kapok Ji was relieved. Rehabilitation can be a painful time. However, if there were Umimeng and Haemeng's mother there, I think I would be able to overcome it.

With that in mind, I found out that there is a kapok season. I'm the one who has been doing it. Let Haimeng worry, let Haimeng's parents go through the adoption procedures, and let him live in Haimeng's house.

On the other hand, the most important thing is that he can't do anything to Haimeng and Haimeng's parents. As soon as I found out about that, I was so sorry.

"Thank you, Haimeng. But I've been dreaming of the sea, and I can't do anything. Nothing yet."

Haimeng tilted her head slightly. Incredible words seem to have been said.

"Nothing good. You're still in the medical center, and unlike my sister, you've been infected with hIV for fifteen years, and I don't want you to give me anything back. ”

Haimeng said to me. Haimeng's parents must have said the same thing.

But the heart of the kapok season has not sunken.

Even when it is said, I want to do what I can. I don't like to be taken care of all the time. I want to leave the gift of taking care of me to the people who have taken care of me. Thinking like this, Kapok Ji thought about it for a while.

So, finally arrived at a situation. This is the story of the House of Sea Dreams.

"Ahh

"Huh? \"

I heard that Umimon's home is a family of shrines based in Kyoto. The name is the same as the name of Kaimon, and it is Hakuryo Shrine.

Hakuryi Shrine is a large shrine with the same history as famous places such as Ise Jingu and Izumo Taisha Shrine, and it enshrines a very strong god who is in charge of marriage and marriage no matter what. Because there is a god who mercilessly breaks off bad karma and has the power to renew good karma, Hakurying Shrine is considered to be one of the few power points in Japan to break ties and marry.

Because it is a very good relationship, the Hakurei Shrine of the main family also plays a role as a wedding venue and a wedding facility. Because it was Haemon's father who managed the wedding facilities and wedding venue, Haemon's family was not short of money.

And this Hakuryo Shrine has been a shrine maiden for generations, and I heard that it was Kaimeng's grandmother who once served as the shrine maiden, and I heard that it was Kaimeng's sister who inherited the ruins. But Haemon's sister died of AIDS, and the next shrine maiden became vacant.

That's it. This is what I can do to repay the sea dreams.

The Kapok season speech that comes to mind should convey the sea dream well.

"Haimeng, I found what I could do"

"Huh?"

"I want to be a shrine maiden, a shrine maiden of the Kaimeng House Shrine, and a shrine maiden of Bailing!"

"Huh!?"

It's easy to anticipate that this will be unexpected for Haimeng. As expected, Haimeng made a loud noise again, which was surprising, attracting the attention of the surrounding guests.

After coughing gently to divert the attention of the guests, Haimeng accosted me.

"What are you going to say!?"

"The dance of the Hakuryo shrine maiden is also famous in Kyoto. It's my sister who did it, but now no one is there. Well, I feel that I can be the heir. ”

Although I like the first person, I am a woman and I believe in the things of God—virgins. So there are enough qualifications to be a shrine maiden.

"Ah, that's. It's not easy to give it to you so suddenly. I also have to tell my grandmother, isn't the first kapok season Catholic? ”

That's right. His home is Catholic. He believed in Jesus and prayed. For this reason, "Marzas Rozario" was added to the original Sud skill. At first glance, it seems ridiculous to say that Catholics themselves became shrine maidens who offered dances to the god of Hakuryeong.

"It's this, it's this. It's okay, God doesn't quarrel. Jesus is also the Buddha, the Buddha and the adults form a combination of vacations, and the god of Bailing will also get along well. “

"Is that a comic book? In short, whether Kapok Ji will become a shrine maiden must be discussed. ”

Immediately after, Haimeng's face changed. I felt a little red on my cheeks.

"But I'm not against it. If the kapok season recovers, the appearance of the shrine maiden will also be very suitable."

Hearing this, Mianji's eyes widened. The cheeks are a little hot. If the body is there, the cheeks will turn red.

When I heard that I was going to be a White Ridge wizard, I thought that the first person to oppose was Haimeng. I thought it was self-conscious to find a job in the place where Haimeng's sister had to work.

But instead of objecting, the actual sea dream affirmed that the appearance of the shrine maiden suited me well. Because of the appearance of the shrine maiden, Kapok Ji felt that his heart became extremely hot.

"Me, my shrine maiden costume, looks like it fits?"

If you don't wear it, you don't know.,It was grandma who originally decided whether to make Kapok Ji a shrine maiden.,So first of all, let's talk about it.。 ”

Saying that, Haimeng shifted his gaze. Although it has not yet been decided, Haimeng has not denied that she has become the witch of Bailing. There was ecstasy in his chest, and Kapok Ji couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Great! I'm going to be a shrine maiden!! ”

"So, it was discussed with my grandmother."

Ignoring Haimeng's words, Kapok Ji opened a window in the room of the virtual space.

This room is an online VR space. Recently, we have introduced communication software that I got from Seven, so I can talk and chat with other friends and friends in VRmmo with the feeling of SNS.

After Kapok launched the software, it designated everyone to play "Sleep Night" in "SAo", in which cigars and seaweed were played, and the holographic keyboard was operated.

"What is it like for both of them right now. My affair with Kaimeng is over, and I'm going to go to 'SAo' next. I have something I want to announce to you! ”

Write like this first, then press the send button. I waited for about 30 seconds and received a reply. This is a message from the seaweed.

"Oh, it's over. We're resting now at the big inn of the "Beginning Street". \"

Then I received a reply from Shina.

"There's a good thing here, too. With the unexpected help when Yuki and Kem left, the level was raised in the latest area. ”

Kapok season is a little tilted. What does unexpected help mean? I immediately asked, and there was a reply immediately. The replyer was excited.

"A two-sword swordsman wearing a hat like a white cat. It's called Wilsa. ”

"Versa! \"

Kapok season was a bit of a surprise. I know Versa's name. It's the same as Kirito.,It's a two-sword stream.,And it's a "beast style" that uses dragons.,Because the white costume is very distinctive.,So it's called the "White Dragon Swordsman" female player.。

Wilsa was the first to enter other players' parties, etc., and thoroughly focused on the players' playstyles with solid player skills, and many players were helped. As such, Versa is considered an idol of "SAo", but that person and the "trio" are able to converge.

It is said that even beginner parties can improve their level in the latest area if Wilsa is there, but this seems to be true.

"Thanks to Mr. Versa joining the party, we were able to raise the bar in the newest area. Mr. Versa is still at our party, chatting together. ”

"Now you can talk to Wilsa!"

"Got it! I'll log in right away and let me know in detail! ”

Quickly replied to Sina and seaweed, and Kapok Ji closed the window. Say hello to Haimeng right away.

"Haimeng, I went to 'SAo' first!"

"Hey, you're already logged in? How suddenly? ”

"When you connect with people, it becomes a lot of fun. Everyone seems to have been assisted by Wilsa. ”

Haimeng was shocked again. It was an accident for everyone to join that Wilsa.

"Versa is the one called the 'White Dragon Swordsman'? Who is he and everyone else? ”

"yes. And Versa seems to be with everyone. So let's go first! ”

Ignoring Haimeng's "wait a minute" voice, Kapok Ji ended the call. In this way, we performed the registration process of \"SAo\" and made a good declaration in the room of the virtual space.

\"Link to begin! \"

Yuki emerges from the room in the virtual space. Looking around, you are accustomed to seeing rooms made of wood and stone. There is a simple table and bed. It's not a real thing, it's a virtual reality thing. This is a room in the Grand Inn of the "Beginning Street" in the Sood Art Origen.

I suddenly logged out when I was there in the morning.,I'm worried about whether I'll start somewhere else.,But I was able to get down to my usual place.。

After confirmation, Yuki opens a window and expands the friends list. Confirm the names of the companions and find the place of the trio. The "beginning of the street" of the large inn. It's right below the floor where I'm located, and it seems to be gathered in the lounge on the first floor.

"Caught up!"

Happy Ariki one-man language clause crust. In the chat before logging in, I heard that there were celebrities who joined the trio and worked together to improve the level. That person is still with everyone. Because of this, Yuki hurriedly completed the login.

Although he said that he was going to log in together, he put the matter of Haimeng there, so Haimeng must be very angry. But if that's the case, it's good to apologize when you log in. Now let's decide to meet up with that celebrity.

Yuki closed the window, slammed open the door to the room, jumped out, and ran down the stairs. There are a lot of players gathered in the lounge of the big inn that I am used to. Most of the players must have re-acquired tickets to the game. However, not as much as seen in the morning. A lot of players took to the streets.

That's lucky. After a little look, I found the water lilies gathered on a round table like when we met in the morning. Running to the side of the partners who have been dating longer than Kirito, everyone immediately notices Yuki, greets and waves to greet them.

"Everyone, it's been a long wait——!"

"That's fast."

The real-world Kem—not yet—greeted me by a diminutive teenager. Surrounded by the usual members such as Tage, Talken, Seaweed, and Siune. Unlike in the morning, everyone leaned on the table and prepared their own drinks and snacks. Just like the chat before logging in, everyone is coming back from the battle on the field.

Looking at him, Mika nodded slightly, and then greeted him with seaweed.

"Yuki, I'm not with Kem."

"Well, I've put the Kem business aside."

Tarken sighed softly. My face felt like it was going to dry again.

"I'll be scolded again. How many times has Kem been angry? ”

The Kem affair is infuriating. Both ALo and "SAo" have me off many times. I'm going to add a new layer there this time, but that's a normal thing for Yuki, so it's not worth worrying about. Because there are people who want to see more than Kem.

"It's okay, it is. Anyway——! ”

Xiongji suddenly turned in a certain direction. The figure of a young girl sitting between a cigar and nori comes into view.

He is wrapped in a white coat-like light outfit and wears a large cat-eared hat with a deformed cat face embroidery. A pair of long hangers grow from the bottom of the hat, and they are rolled up like a scarf to cover the corners of the mouth, but you can see a slightly greenish blue, large eyes, and a girl with blue half-long hair.

Although not a member of the trio, I heard in the chat about the players who helped the trio. The two who are similar to Kirito and Genesis who are called "White Dragon Swordsmen" are full of "SAo" idols who are being pulled.

Seeing that his face had not changed at all from the screenshot photo he saw on the Internet, Yuki immediately greeted him.

"You're the Wilsa of the White Dragon Swordsman, aren't you?" \"

Versa lifted her expressionless face and nodded. Although the corners of his mouth were covered, he saw a smile in his eyes.

"Yes," the White Dragon Swordsman Versa "is me." ”

"Wow, it's true! That 'White Dragon Swordsman' is here! ”

I couldn't help but cheer loudly, and I was very happy.

"White Dragon Swordsman Versa" is the focus of attention of "SAo" players, and it is often used to fly around at various players' parties, and it is said that it is difficult to encounter and meet. It's not that I'm happy to see Wilsa like this rare monster, but that's enough to be happy. Vilsa seemed to notice Yuki, who was happy.

"I heard from these people that you're the captain of this guild, and you, including you, are you a beginner's guild?"

"That's right, that's right. I'm the captain Yuki. You just logged in this morning. Ah, I'm not. ”

Versa looked satisfied.

"And so it was. It will be the person who got the closed beta exam participation ticket that was distributed again. ”

Everyone on the night of the water lily nods, and one of them, Shina, greets Yuki.

After Yuki and Kem were written off, all of Slip Knights' men went to the Lystria steppe. "SAo" is completely different from ALo, it can neither fly nor use magic, and it is a game that fights and adventures with one's own body. Although I was confused about this method at first, everyone quickly got used to it and fought just like when I was ALo.

So everyone changed places and went to the Kurdisich Desert in the newest area, but while fighting hard against enemies with poor levels of flowstone, they were unable to defeat a monster on the field. As a result, when they fled from all the enemies and everyone wanted to return to the Ryutrian steppes, they happened to meet Wilsa, who was also hunting in the Kurdisigi Desert.

Versa said: "I will assist you in leveling up. ”。 Although everyone is skeptical, by confirming Versa's level and form, he is convinced that he is one of the top players. Join Wilsa in challenging the monsters of the Kurdisich Desert.

From there, the situation completely changed. Vilsa is almost as strong as Yuki and Kem, and one by one he defeats the monsters that challenge him, allowing everyone in Sleep Knights to add experience points one after another.

The level difference between the people of Sleep Knights and the monsters of the Kurdisic Desert is more than 20, and they are not very easy opponents to defeat. However, thanks to Versa's assistance, all three were victorious, and even the monsters who challenged the Kurdisich Desert in half a day would not fall into a bitter battle.

"Versa, you've helped me so much."

Vilsa scratched her head from her hat. An expression that bordered on a wry smile appeared in front of him.

\"Well, you know what? I'm not very good at letting people who are in trouble go unchecked. Then again, can't you just let this guild go unpunished? \"

I have not heard of Vilsa belonging to Gilder. It's true that there are a lot of players partying out of the box, but basically Versa should be a wild player. Yuki, who was skeptical, tilted his head and asked.

"Can't you just let the guild gossip?"

"That's right, that's right. I've done guilds before. I don't really want to do that now, but I can remember the joy of that time now. The party party was very happy, so I can't help but say hello to these people today."

I understand all of Versa's words. Actually, I also like to combine with everyone in the water lilies.,And Kirito and they form a party to carry out missions.,Fight.,If possible,,I want to play a party every time.。 As soon as I knew that Versa was also a player in the same mood, I felt close.

Wilsa, the idol of "SAo", turned out to be just one player who enjoyed the game as wholeheartedly as the players around him.

However, the decisive difference between Wilsa and the surrounding players is that he is called the "White Dragon Swordsman", and he is a strong man who has the strength to defeat even the monsters in the latest area without a hard fight.

Until now, when I saw a player like that, I couldn't help but want to set up a duel, and I actually had to do a duel several times. The mood of that time is now high in Yuko's heart.

I want to duel with Wilsa.

Driven by thoughts, Yuki took a step towards Wilsa and approached his face.

"It's decided! Versa, duel with me as a sign of proximity! ”

Naturally, the people around were taken aback, and Wilsa was stunned. If it were normal, Kem would have entered here to stop it, but since Kem hadn't logged in yet, he wouldn't say anything. Striking at Yuki, who had said something surprising, Wilsa replied.

"Why the duel? Why am I fighting you? \"

"No, I want to duel as soon as I see a strong player. Do you want to see how to fight? How so? ”

There Jun said dumbfounded. It's an expression that looks at a scene that I've seen many times.

"It's started, Yuko's habit."

"Wait a minute, Yuki. It's true that Versa is strong, so it's not surprising that you want to fight, but Versa helped us. It's not easy to organize a duel anyway. ”

What Kem usually does, the seaweed comes.

As seaweed says. Versa is also a benefactor who helps everyone level up with Slip Nyze, a beginner in "SAo". It's not a good thing to set up a duel on that Wilsa. But even so, becoming an idol because of "SAo", I had to see the strength of Wilsa who was called the "White Dragon Swordsman".

"yes, but I'm still a celebrity for SAo-"

"Hey. \"

It was Versa who stood in the way of Yuki's words. Versa stared at Yuki with those eyes. The green blue, the eyes of the color that has never been seen before, reflected his figure, and Yuki couldn't help but be in a daze.

"So, you're really with Kirito."

"Huh? Kirito? \"

"Hmm. Yuko is Kirito's partner. ”

Versa didn't tell me that he and Kem usually had a party with Kirito and the others. But what Wilsa knew, she had seized the information on her own. There is no personal information or anything, so to speak.

"yes. Kirito and I are friends. Although there are also parties with Kirito."

"Kirito's partner, Kirito's Nakama"

Versa grew quieter and quieter, bowing her head. It was already covered by a scarf-like drape and a hat, and the invisible face was even more invisible.

Did you say anything that didn't go your way?

Or, as everyone said, it's clumsy to suddenly apply for a duel?

Now, my heart is filled with a small sense of guilt. I have to apologize for hearing this. Yuki greeted Versa again with trepidation.

"Well, Mr. Wilsa, you still suddenly said you were going to duel, I'm sorry-"

The next moment, Versa suddenly raised his head.

"Come on, duel!"

Yuki and the people around him were stunned by the sudden answer. Versa continued unconcernedly.

"Because it's the partner of that black dragon swordsman Kirito, Yuko is also quite strong. I'm interested in Yuko's strength. The first floor is also available, so I want to duel! ”

"Hey, you'll help me, duel. \"

Vilsa nodded pleasantly. It seems that I am very motivated.

"yes. Duel with you, I'll stand up! ”

When this was said, Yuki's expression became clearer. Although everyone around me is a little anxious, if I am motivated by myself, the negotiation will be established. The day has come to fight against the idol "White Dragon Swordsman Wilsa", who is widely spread in "SAo". I want to be loud and happy, but after all, I can't shout loudly in the lounge of this big inn.

"Great! Well, Wilsa, right away—"

As he turned to Wilsa with his temper, Yuki noticed. The name "White Dragon Swordsman Versa" comes from the fact that Versaila wore white gear and was a "beast" that made dragons. Will he fight Versa and Versa's "demons"? That's a bit of a bad thing.

"Ah, wait a minute, Varza. I don't have a 'demon' like Velsa."

"Don't worry. I'll duel it all by myself. "Demon" get out of the way a little bit, and I'll make him do something else. \"

Saved—Yuki thought a little.

In this way, from what I heard from Kirito before, there is a system that allows the "envoy" with a certain strength or more to go to the court alone and let it act alone.

The "demon" dragon in "White Dragon Swordsman" is undoubtedly a powerful "demon" equivalent to this story. And since there have been no sightings of the Vilsa dragon, the dragons of Vilsa always fly somewhere, and they will only return to Vilsa when they don't see them.

If I fought that dragon, it almost turned into a one-on-two battle, but it ended before it turned out to be like that.

"That's right. That's it. Then let's start a duel right away! ”

"Hey!"

Versa stood up and lined up next to Yuki. Each of the "trio" looked at the two with a look of surprise, anxiety, and bewilderment. Yuki appealed to his friends with colorful expressions.

"What should we do? We're going to the Rusetrian steppe next for a duel. ”

Joon stood up with a look of trouble.

"Of course I'm going to see it. After flying to the Kurdisigi Desert, can the snow also participate in level training? ”

"Okay. I was going to study with you today. ”

After saying that, everyone stood up. It turned out that everyone seemed to come. Although Cam was the only one abandoned, at least it wasn't something that would take until the evening. At dinner, you can log out and go back to the machine to apologize. After that, two more people will be able to log in once.

"Let's go to the Rusetrian steppes, then!"

Quite early decided duel. What will that content become, and how strong a player is "White Dragon Swordsman Wilsor"? Everything was expected, there was no way, the steps to the Lytrian steppe, which became the place of the duel, were very brisk.

The Listrian steppes are "the center of the Great Hills".

Immediately after descending to the Lystria steppe, there is a beautiful grassland with lush greenery. The sheer number of inhabited monsters seems to be small, and the hunt will be over in no time if you fight. If you finish hunting monsters, it will turn into a calm grassland for a long time, and it is the perfect place for picnics.

In such an ordinary grassland, there are now many players gathering to make noise.

"Versa, you're going to duel!?"

"Come on, Wilsa!"

"Isn't that girl who wants to fight Wilsa also quite cute?"

"Ah, it's a beautiful girl with two people walking a good line together."

Even if you don't listen to it, you can hear a lot of players. Although there are more men, there are also many female players who give their support. Seeing the people around him, Yuuki smiled bitterly.

"Haha, I didn't expect so many people to gather."

When Yuko and the others first left the Grand Inn, it was really only Yuko and they wanted to go to the Rusetrian steppe. However, when they came to the square in front of the main inn, the players who had discovered the idol of "SAo" Wilsa gathered together to greet Wilsa. The players are fans of Wilsa.

Yuukie, who didn't notice at the time, told Wilsa about the duel in the future, and the players said they would go to visit together, so they followed Yuki and them. This dialogue was repeated about 20 times before going to the Diversion Gate Square, and by the time the Diversion Gate descended to the Rusetrian Savannah, Wilsa's fan base had swelled to a large family of nearly 200 people.

And those fans are now, quite far away from Yuki and Versa, watching around the two of them and sending out their solidarity.

If there were so many people gathered, it would be nice if there was an arena spaceship used by Kirito and Heathcliff when they were fighting, but now "SAo" doesn't have such a place.

However, as if knowing that there would be a fairly big battle, the players kept enough distance. Even if it's a chaotic war, they won't be drawn into it.
