[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

Zao Qing, who was standing there, just looked at the figure of the other party walking away, but couldn't say anything.

After a long time, he sighed lightly, then turned around and walked forward until he saw a flower shop shining with warm lights, and then stopped for a while.

"Pingchuan...a flower shop..."

The fingers curled up in a slightly tangled manner, and finally turned into a tightly clenched fist, and the footsteps slowly moved forward again.

"excuse me."

When the door was pushed open, the bell on the doorknob made a crisp and pleasant sound, which woke up the owner who was standing blankly in front of the counter.

Hastily put down a small photo frame in his hand, and approached with a smile.

"Welcome to Pingchuan Flower Shop, do you need anything?"

It was a man who looked very honest at first glance, Zao Qing believed so.

Black hair mixed with some gray hair, with a well-behaved old-fashioned eyes, his face is full of old age after getting old, but his face with a gentle smile all the time gives people an uncontrollable gentleness meaning.

Zao Qing looked away from the scrutiny in her eyes, she didn't know whether the other party had felt her subconscious indifference, but no matter from which aspect, this was the respect she should give.

"Mr. Hirakawa, I have been looking for you for a while."

"Eh?! Looking for me?!"

As if realizing something, the uncle of the shopkeeper slightly looked at the immature girl in front of him, but then the smile returned to his face.

"Well, it's almost time to get off work, and drinking a cup of tea is not a violation of any rules, haha... Then, would you like to talk inside?"

Zao Qing nodded without the slightest hesitation, followed the pace of the shopkeeper and walked inside.

Looking at the middle-aged uncle who was already faltering, Zao Qing's eyes couldn't help showing a trace of regret and sympathy, but when he thought of himself...

"Please sit down."

The uncle owner was not in a hurry to find out why Zaoqing came, but instead invited Zaoqing to sit in a small garden-style living room, and made tea leisurely after accommodating him.

"My name is Hinohara Zaoqing, Mr. Hirakawa, and I am also a survivor who just returned from SAO." Zaoqing said to the middle-aged man in front of him in a calm tone.

"Really?" A trace of surprise flashed across the shopkeeper's face, and then he recovered calmly, "Yes, that's really something to be thankful for, welcome back~"

Looking at the shopkeeper with a happy expression in front of her, Zaoqing couldn't tell what it was like. If she didn't understand the things that belonged to this middle-aged man, if she didn't know the wish that he had long been unable to realize... then at this moment If you take the cover yourself, you will smile very embarrassedly, and then express your deepest gratitude in a shallow way.

but……

Zao Qing silently took a breath, then looked at the person in front of her, and settled down.

"Mr. Hirakawa, you were the president of [Arkas] before."

The man in front of him didn't seem to be surprised, he just pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose in distress, and then said in an endlessly earnest voice, "I assume, your visit this time..."

Hearing the honorific subconsciously maintaining distance and alienation, Zao Qing raised his eyebrows impatiently, and then interrupted the rebuttal.

"Mr. Hirakawa, your peaceful life in seclusion here is not as known to outsiders as you think, and I am here this time, not for any compensation..."

"So, what's your reason?" At this time, the other party had already put on a businessman's innocent expression of [no comment], which seemed to strongly indicate that no matter what request Zao Qing made now, he would absolutely reject it. manner.

Zao Qing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who didn't eat oil and salt, and felt inexplicably sympathetic in his heart.

Akutahiro Hirakawa, the leader of Arcas, a company that once led the cutting-edge technology and leading position in the game field, erased all past passion and ambition, and directly chose to dissolve the company after the SAO incident, and transferred the company's property and Mortgage all of my property as follow-up funds, and then live in seclusion on such a small street corner, living such an ordinary life...

For a king who once enjoyed all the brilliance, the most painful thing is probably not the end of the road, but that he has already lost the heart of a king...

That represents the end of the king's dignity.

"Actually, for me, the life in SAO is not just like purgatory as ordinary people think, SAO is very beautiful, with the perfect scene setting, the perfect number of frames, and the perfect sensory system... A trace of nostalgia flashed in Zao Qing's eyes, as if he saw the different scenery in the steel castle floating under the vast sky again.

"Of course, I am not alone. In the place where I was trying to survive with the desire to survive, I met friends who were sincere. The protection they gave me may not be indestructible, but their existence has become The pillars of my life then, and since then..."

The face of the store manager's uncle gradually softened, "What do you want to say?"

"The first club I joined with my own will was called Solomon." Zao Qing looked at the middle-aged uncle in front of him steadily, and then said softly, "Its president is called Luoda, a man in his 20s. A young man of [-] years old, with short tan hair and eyes that always have a gentle smile, looks smart and capable, but also very broad..."

The middle-aged man in front of him looked at Zao Qing who was narrating all this in a plain and emotionless tone.

But Zao Qing didn't pay attention to it, and his words became more and more indifferent.

"And most of the others are teenagers. The lively ones, like Sheng'an, are always chattering as if they can never rest; the introverted ones, like Zongyi, have a natural instinct for strange things after entering the game. and there are also those who are young but force themselves to be reliable...for example, Sanli..."

"Bam—"

The uncle on the opposite side suddenly stood up and knocked down the stool he was sitting on. It seemed that he wanted to grab Zaoqing's collar to ask something, but he slapped the table hard the moment he stretched out his hand.

"You...you mean...Sanli...his name is Sanli..."

Zaoqing tilted her head and smiled harmlessly, although she already knew from the information she found in advance that the son of Akas' gauze, Hirakawa Jiehong, was called Hirakawa Sanli.

It is said that Hirakawa Sanli was trapped in the game because he randomly used the peep in his father's office.

Moreover, the brainwave signal belonging to Hirakawa Sanli completely turned into a straight line one morning a year and a half ago...

This is really...

"Yeah, he's called Sanli, a very kind little guy. After being imprisoned in the game, he protected another little girl who was separated from her parents as his own sister, but he didn't want to protect himself. Nothing, despair will make some people no longer look like human beings, and they can do all kinds of things... And in this case, what will happen to Sanli if they are desperate and unable to do anything?..."

Seeing the trembling hands of the man in front of him propping up the table and lowering his head, Zaoqing felt relieved for no reason, but felt a faint pain in his heart.

Have you vaguely sensed who Sanli is?Sure enough, it was this man's favorite son. Even after he died, he was still clearly remembered and will be remembered forever...

So, Rhoda, what should you do...

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath silently.

"...Until he met Luoda, that guy formed a guild, and then Sanli and the little girl were also invited by him to join the guild. In fact, he was the one to protect..."

"Tell me... my son... my son Sanli, what's the matter..." The man suddenly raised his head, couldn't help but grabbed Zaoqing's collar, and stared at Zaoqing with deep pain. Looking at Zaoqing, she interrupted Zaoqing's words with a heart-piercing roar, "W-what, die!"

Zao Qing didn't make a sound, but the eyes that were still showing some emotion had turned a deep dark color, and her slender lips were tightly pressed together.

"Now, Mr. Hirakawa, I think you probably missed one thing."

The slender fingers slowly lifted up, and then slightly retracted the collar that was being grabbed by him.

"Luoda's name is Ono Mingichi!" Zaoqing raised the corners of his mouth coldly, looking at the man in front of him, "It seems to be the person in charge of a department under yours...Of course, this is not the point, what is more important is, Before he used this name, he was called—"

"Hirakawa Youze."

Looking at the stunned face of the man in front of him, Zaoqing unceremoniously pulled the man's hand away from his collar, and then slowly stood up.

"Hirakawa-san, when you lived happily with your new family, did you ever think about your former wife and children? Or did you just subconsciously ignore their existence?" Early Qing didn't show any extra sympathy, just watched the man in front of him lose his composure, and remained silent.

After a while, the middle-aged man raised his head calmly.

"What...what is your purpose?"

Looking at the man who has calmed down his mind, Zao Qing couldn't help showing a smile.

Should I praise him for not throwing away the wisdom of his long-standing superior...

Zao Qing nodded slightly, "I'm here, on the one hand, I just want to tell Mr. Pingchuan, who is the victim's family, about the actual situation of his sons. This is also considering that Mr. Pingchuan, as a father, has the right to know; On the other hand, I'm here to inform Mr. Hirakawa about something."

"..."

"Mr. Hirakawa, when you divorced Luoda, that is, Hirakawa Youze's mother, you gave them 5% of the company's asset ownership, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, I can tell Mr. Pingchuan that Mr. Luo Da gave me the 5% interest, and if I want to accept all of this, I must ask for your approval."

"Impossible." The uncle shook his head, "On the one hand, the company has applied for dissolution, and all the original system technology has been transferred to RECT Company. handed over to a minor..."

"Mr. Hirakawa, I'm just here to tell you about this matter. As for what I do, it's all my own business." Zao Qing interrupted the uncle, and then turned around without looking at the decadent man again. Leave, leaving only the shopkeeper with a blank face.
