[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

"Do you love her?"

As if hearing something surprising, Kirito suddenly raised his head and looked at Samuel in front of him.

Samuel still looked at Kirito's shocked face with a gentle smile.

"Kirito, you love early mornings, right?"

Love……

Kirito was really at a loss.

During Kirito's 14 years of avoiding such things as feelings, especially after knowing his true life experience, he was buried in the bottomless abyss by himself.

He could see the sadness in his mother's eyes, and the loss in Suguha's eyes, but even so, he didn't have the courage to respond to anyone.

But now, someone suddenly said that he himself fell in love with someone... Such words were too dramatic and impactful.

"Well, maybe it's too early to tell you this." Samuel waved his hand, retracted his gaze as if he could see through Kirito's heart, and leaned peacefully on the back of the chair, "After all, Kirito-kun, you are not the only choice."

"Eh?!"

"Even without you, Kirito-kun, there will be other people who like such an excellent early morning. There are many admirers around her who can care for her, take care of her, and care about her. When she is lonely, someone will walk with her and talk to her; When she is sad, someone will lend her shoulders to wipe her tears... Well, although it is a bit clichéd, it is basically like this, one day, her world will be filled with another person."

"As for Kirito-kun, you are a very kind and fraternal person. You have a natural compassion for those who are weaker than you. You always want to bear the responsibility of everyone on your own. This kind of The desire to protect may give people a certain sense of security. But feelings are selfish, Kirito-kun, your overly broad sympathy is actually not really caring at all, it is just robbing others in the name of benevolence and righteousness It’s just to satisfy the lack in my heart.”

Kirito didn't know how he left, walking alone on the bustling street, using a cloak to cover up these well-known appearances, still echoing Samuel's words just now in his heart.

【One day, her world will be filled with another person...】

【And that person will not be me...】

Unknowingly, the moment Kirito looked up, he saw the familiar tall blue and white building of the Holy Dragon Union, and the giant dragon logo with its teeth and claws shining brilliantly under the cover of the night lights.

Dazzling, just like this early morning as a top guild leader.

"Then, let's do this, Alan." The familiar voice made Kirito suddenly raise his head, looking at the girl who was slowly walking down the steps, "Watson will come tomorrow morning, and then you Help him sort out all the plans, and then report to me."

"I understand, my lord early in the morning!" Allen nodded aside, "Then I will go to prepare, but, about the combat department..."

Early in the morning, he frowned slightly, "Let's put it aside for now, that guy Fadell is a member of the Elders anyway, I can't reinstate him right now, wait until Watson comes. Is there any movement in the Elders recently? ?”

"Except for the uncooperative soft resistance of some people, there is nothing else, but the paralysis of some departments is also very troublesome..."

"Hey... well, let's wait until tomorrow. There should be nothing wrong for the time being, so let's take a good rest~ There is still a tough battle to fight~"

"Yes! Sir Early Morning!"

"That...Master Early Morning..."

"What's the matter, Sanji? Is there anything else?"

"there……"

Suddenly, the three people who were talking in low voices turned their gazes to this side, and Kirito, who had been watching this side silently, was startled.

"Idiot!" Alan turned his face helplessly and sighed softly, attracting Sanji's aggrieved gaze, "He has been standing there..."

At this time, Qingchen and Kirito didn't pay attention to the people and things around them, they just stared at each other, and gradually, Kirito subconsciously wanted to look away.

"What's the matter?" Qingchen suddenly asked, causing Kirito's cramped attention to return.

"I..." Kirito hesitated for a moment, as if he was afraid that his indecision would give the other party a bad impression, so he said bravely, "I just... came to see you..."

"Hey!!!! Did you say it?!!! Is it a confession?!!! Nah, Alan, is it a confession?!!!" Sanji began to twist unconsciously again, and was caught by Alan Pushing it aside, "Fool, don't bark!"

Early in the morning, it seemed that he was surprised by Kirito's straightforward words. He re-examined the young man who was blushing by Sanji's "confession", and did not make a sound.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Kirito scratched his head, as if he was a bit broken, "Things have turned out like that... It's really... I..."

"Nothing." Qingchen replied coldly.

"Eh?!" Kirito looked at Qingchen, who was far from being gentle in the past, and a deep panic in the face of changes forced him to speak hastily, "Qingchen, I actually..."

"It's over, it's over, I don't want to know anything, I'm leaving, you'd better leave here." Early in the morning, Kirito's words were intercepted, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Kirito was a little stunned, as if he couldn't react to the decisive rejection early in the morning.

So, does she already hate herself so much?

It turns out that my own existence has long since lost its original meaning?

"Arnold...Kirito-kun..." A small voice appeared in my ear, and when I turned my head, it was the guy with pink hair, male and female, "Master Early Morning actually said that since the newspaper published, There are always some people wandering around here, be careful that you will get entangled... It's better not to stay here for a long time..."

"Hey..." Kirito blinked in surprise.

"Stupid Sanji!" All the while pulling Sanji aside with a big hand, Alan's speechless face appeared instantly, "Don't always be a good person with nothing to do!"

"I just think... Kirito-kun seems to be very... lost..." Sangji hugged Alan's arm aggrievedly, staring at him, "Alan~~~~~"

"Ahem, well...that being said..." Allen pushed his eyes, let go of Sanji's collar, adjusted his expression, and turned his head, "Kirito-kun."

"Um, here!"

"I don't care if you have gotten involved with any woman or not, and I don't care what kind of thoughts you have towards Mr. Qingqian, I only give you one piece of advice!"

"Forehead……"

"Master Qingchen will be the one who leads our Holy Dragon Alliance to glory. We will never tolerate any stains on Master Qingchen, let alone being involved! Let's go, Sanji!"

"Actually, what Alan-san wants to say is that Kirito-kun who is entangled with other women is not qualified to chase... um..."

"Idiot! I told you that no one wants you to be a translator!"

"Ai let go... Lun is too bad... There is no sympathy..."

"If you have such sympathy, why not help me sort out the files..."

Kirito stared fixedly at the place two steps away in front of him in a daze. It was the place where he stood early in the morning, and it seemed that he subconsciously stopped.

Thinking about the past, I seem to always keep this distance from Qingchen, maybe sometimes it will be closer, but I will take the initiative to retreat to this distance after I find out.

There are only two steps, but it seems to be so close.

He used to think that it was enough to protect Qingzao well, but the facts proved that not only did he not have the ability to protect Qingzao well, but this kind of protection actually stifled Qingzao's own development to a certain extent.On the contrary, after leaving him, Qingchen has become one of the best raiders on the front line, and now, Qingchen has become the helm of the Holy Dragon Alliance.

In a short period of time, I was still a solo player, unchanging indifference, unchanging solo journey, deliberately rejecting detection and contact from the outside world.But early in the morning, he had already left himself far behind.

The days when the two of them depended on each other has become a luxury, but now she is surrounded by loyal knights, following her towards the point she is pointing at with her sword; and she can only be a lonely explorer.

However, even in the past, there has never been such a relationship between two people, right?

Kirito couldn't help crying and laughing when he recalled how he always left alone after hesitating and hesitating.

This is all...retribution...

With a life trajectory that has been clearly defined for a long time, what right do I have to force her to give up all this and come back to me?

Kirito changed his pace, glanced at the crowd around him, frowned slightly, and then disappeared in a few inexplicable sights in a flash, disappointing the people who were waiting for new highlights to appear.

She is excellent and capable, and he also knows that she is very beautiful, with a beauty that is not inferior to Asuna's.

Therefore, after all, she will have countless loyal knights, welcome a prince who loves her, and then successfully complete a new beautiful story.

Of course, in this story, there will be no plot for people like me to appear.

So, maybe, it's best not to exist without me.
