[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

When Dad came home early in the morning, he was surprised to see his generally quiet daughter running down the stairs in a hurry, and then eagerly pounced on him.

Zaoqing's father, who always looks serious, said that it is still very pleasant to be attacked by his soft daughter, but...

"What's the matter, morning?"

Before I could speak, my mother appeared in the semi-open kitchen behind me, obviously surprised by the noise my daughter made when she came downstairs.

"Morning? Did something happen?"

"Forehead……"

Zao Qing, who was originally excited, turned around embarrassingly, and now her eyes, which were shining just now, showed the shame and embarrassment after realizing what she had done.

Dad Sang, who was hugging his limp daughter, looked at the rich expression on his daughter's face and said that this is really the benefit of being a father.

However, a good father must show corresponding feedback after receiving benefits.

"It's okay, you cook first, let me see what I want to say to my father in the early morning."

So, Dad Sang, whose eyes were in a line of laughter, went upstairs with his blushing Zaoqing in his arms.

"Sarah, tell Dad now, did something happen?"

But now Zaoqing has faded away from the excitement and impatientness at the beginning, and hangs his head a little embarrassedly.

"Hey... Dad... if... I mean if..."

"Well, what if? You've got plenty of time to talk slowly before Mommy cooks and comes."

This act of almost promising to keep a secret in front of her mother obviously let go of the heaviest stone in Zaoqing's heart, so Zaoqing's eyes once again flashed the joyful light just like the beginning.

"Hey, Dad, if my friends show up in reality, will Dad hate them?"

"Friends? Friends from that world, right?" Dad thought for a moment, and then laughed again, "If they are friends from Zaoqing, why does Dad hate them? Dad should also thank them for being friends in those two days." It is right to take care of you during the year."

So, Zaoqing's eyes narrowed again.

"So, did something happen?"

Zaoqing hesitated for a moment, then his eyes drifted to the corner of the room, so a sharp gleam flashed in the eyes of his father who had been watching Zaoqing.

Although the daughter's friends will not object to their association, but if the daughter keeps a little secret for them and refuses to tell herself, that's another matter...

After all, as a father, he must not let his daughter be abducted by a group of unknown people.

"If Zaoqing doesn't want to talk about it, then let's go eat." Dad Sang touched Zaoqing's head maliciously, and then walked towards the door.

"dad……"

The tall figure still walked towards the door without the slightest pause.

Zaoqing, who was left behind, pouted a little aggrievedly, then stood up slightly.

Run up a few steps, fly——

flutter~~~~~

Dad Sang, who had been prepared for a long time, took it as if he had eyes behind his back, and the satisfied smirk on his face made Zao Qing even more aggrieved.

"dad!"

"Haha, who made Zao Qing not want to tell Dad~" Dad Sang took the opportunity to sit on the chair behind him, and then put his little daughter on his lap.

"Tell me~"

Zaoqing hummed a few times, and then felt at ease under her father's gentle behavior.

"Dad, we're going to have an offline party!"

"When?"

"Tomorrow~ the sooner the better~~~ They have been looking for me for a long time~~~I really want to see everyone~~~~"

"So, where did you choose to have dinner?"

"Eh..." Zaoqing's eyes turned, "I don't know..."

"I don't know?" Smiling dad Sang seemed to have seen Zaoqing's little thoughts, "The fox's tail is leaking~"

"Dad! Dad!" Some shy and angry girls looked at their wicked father dissatisfied, "Although everyone lives not too far away, they are still not in the same place. In the end, we made a compromise and settled here. As the host, we naturally have to help Everyone choose a place! Especially since I am still the president~"

"Oh~~~~~" The strong doubt in Dad Sang's tone made the arrogant little guy almost explode again.

"Okay." Dad Sang spread his hands, then took out a golden card from his pocket, and handed it to Zao Qing, "As for the meeting place, Dad will help you book it, and I will ask Uncle Yong to take you there tomorrow." Yes, the address is at No. 59 Dongshi Street, and when you arrive tomorrow, just hand over this card to the counter for viewing."

"En~~~" Zaoqing nodded happily, and then the voice of her mother calling for food came from downstairs.

"What are you talking about?" The mother at the dining table looked suspiciously at the happy father and daughter in front of her.

Zao Qing and Dad showed a smile that only each other could understand.

"Nothing~~~"

————&—————

In fact, although she lived in Dongcheng City, Shibing County since she was a child, Zaoqing, who has been a bit autistic since she was a child, does not like to have close contacts with outsiders, so she herself does not know what is going on in this city.

This also led to the moment when Zao Qing was sent to the destination by the driver sent by his father the next day.

"Eh... Dad wouldn't have booked a place like this... Offline parties or something..." Zao Qing looked at the place that looked like a private club in front of him, hesitating whether he should go in or not.

But Zao Qing, who was directly sent to the entrance of the lobby by the driver, was noticed by the guide inside.

"Welcome, do you have a reservation?"

"Yes..." Looking at the gentle service staff in front of him, Zao Qing handed the gold card in the small bag to the other party.

A look of surprise flashed across the service staff's face, and then the smile became more gentle.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Hinohara?"

"Yes." Zao Qing nodded, glanced at the extremely quiet environment around him, and once again felt that it was a mistake for his nervous father to book a room.

"Then, the room Mr. Hinohara reserved for you is in Sei no Hall, and two of you have arrived first, please follow me."

When the door opened, Zao Qing hesitated a bit and went in, but there was no one in the empty main hall.

"Oh yeah~~~ Is this Mrs. Qingchen~~~~ She really has blond hair~~~~"

Zao Qing, who was still a little relaxed at first, froze for a while, turned her head, followed the source of the voice and looked towards the small balcony on one side, where a woman with a familiar face and a hot figure was standing in the backlight.

"May... Ritter?"

"Oh~~~Your Excellency recognized me right away in the early morning~Isn't it, Alan~"

"Alan is here too?!" Zaoqing followed Merritt's gaze and turned to the sofa with his back facing him on the other side. With Merritt's half-joking voice, a tall and thin figure wearing glasses stood up. , Turning to Zaoqing, there is a Qingming between his brows that is even more than that in the game.

"Master early in the morning."

Looking at the two people who were still familiar in front of him, and listening to the still familiar voice, the uneasiness that Zao Qing had been feeling for a long time finally dissipated slowly, and a smile hit Zao Qing's face.

"Merritt, Alan, you guys came so early, I thought Ace, who was closer, would come first."

"It's not because of Alan!" Like countless days in SAO, Merritt complained to Zao Qing endlessly, "Woke me up early in the morning, so that I couldn't even dress up properly for meeting Master Qing Morning .”

"Are Merritt and Alan from the same place?" Zao Qing smiled awkwardly and was curious.

"Yeah, I was the first to be dragged out of the hospital bed by this guy... I just woke up not long ago, and my physical strength has not recovered. Suddenly, a guy who looks like a skeleton rushed in. I was so scared that my heart was going to jump out!!! I really don’t understand, it looks like there are only bones left, how can I still have the strength to run around..." Merritt remembered what happened after he just woke up It seemed that he was very excited, chattering and talking like no one else was around.

Zaoqing smiled awkwardly, but in reality, he couldn’t use the strategy as an excuse to quickly dodge people like in the game. He could only bite the bullet and listen to Merritt’s more and more excited complaints. Broken Allen.

After a few minutes……

"Arnold..." Zao Qing, who couldn't hold back anymore, made a weak voice, resisting Merritt who still couldn't stop.

"Huh?" Merritt, who was belatedly aware of it, blinked and looked at Zao Qing, who was covered in black lines, "What's the matter? Master Qingqian?"

Zao Qing: "..."

Allen, who had been silent all this time, finally pushed his eyes and raised his head.

"Your Excellency means you're making too much noise, Merritt."

Zao Qing: "...Although the words are so...but, Alan...you are too direct..."

Merritt: "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Just when Allen was silent again, Merritt was in tears, and Zaoqing was at a loss what to do...

"boom--"

Accompanied by the loud slamming of the door and the tactful obstruction and persuasion of the service lady, a burst of laughter came.

"Pinch ha ha ha, Master Ace is here, and all the little monsters come to pay their respects quickly!!!"

Zao Qing: "..."

Merritt: "..."

Allen: "..."

"Ah? Why is there no sound? Doesn't it mean that someone has come??"

Seeing a disheveled guy at the door looking left and right, Zaoqing felt his patience approaching the cordon for a long time.

Of course, there are people who can't bear it more than him.

"Oh la la, let me see which uncle is here... Oh, why is it a little boy?!" Merritt twisted his figure and approached a certain jumping creature at the door, bluntly using His own height advantage oppressed the opponent, and the scarlet nails provocatively lifted the boy's chin.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Looking at the one that was still talking hard, Zao Qing finally covered her face and couldn't bear to look at it.

"Oh~~~ You actually said that I am a witch?!!!"

The beautiful face contorted for a moment, the smile became brighter, and then the slender fingers grabbed it down unceremoniously.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts - stinky woman!! Let it go!! Let it go!!!"

"Hmph, Xiao Mian, playing big cards in front of my old lady, I'm getting impatient!"

Surprised by the screams that were much higher than the usual volume and scale, Zaoqing raised her head abruptly, and sighed silently again when she saw the messy-haired boy dancing ballet with his ears held up.

Fighting against the witch Merritt in the real world without game speed and agility bonuses... Is it really necessary to praise this weak-hearted guy for being brave... By the way, Merritt, even the word old lady came out, image, you image...

There was a hint of unbearable expression on Zao Qing's face, as if he was struggling with whether to have such a good time in the first real meeting, after all, it's not just a game, is it?

"don’t worry."

A glass of orange juice was handed over in front of him. Zaoqing looked at Alan with a calm face, thanked him and took it.

"someone is coming."

"Eh?!"

Zaoqing, who was wondering what Allen said, looked at the door in a daze. Suddenly, a figure flashed in quickly, and Ace, who was howling repeatedly, ran into the arms of another person.

"Eh~"

Zaoqing raised her eyebrows, and looked at the big guy who was confronting Merritt warily.

"Oh, it looks like a master has come~" Merritt covered his mouth and smiled coquettishly, but there was a rare surprise and joy in his half-covered eyes, and a strange breath permeated in an instant.

"Stop it!" Allen, who hadn't spoken all this time, stood up and walked towards the tense main hall, "Cassian, Merritt is not malicious."

The bald man swept his eyes over the two guys in front of him, and then settled on Zao Qing who was sitting on the sofa.

"Eh..." Zao Qing blinked, and was a little slow to notice that all eyes were on her, "Long time no see, Cassian~Ace~"

There was also a trace of gentleness in the eyes of the bald man.

"Long time no see, Master Early Morning."

"Hey~~Big Sister Head~Big Sister Head~~~I'm Ace~I'm Ace~~~"

Seeing the burly bald man looking at him with admiration and respect, and thinking of the almost similar gazes of Alan and Merritt just now, Zao Qing suddenly became more stressed.

"Eh... Let me tell you, actually, I'm not in SAO anymore, so I don't need to add honorifics, just call me Qingqian, or just call me by my real name, it doesn't matter." Zaoqing sat up from the sofa, gently Looking at the people in front of him, "It's the first time we meet, I'm Hinohara Saoki, please give me your advice~"

As a result, there was a strange silence in the audience.

The smile on Zao Qing's face also became awkward.

The expressionless Cassian suddenly popped out a word, "Lord Zaoqing?"

Cassian, you're such a paralyzed face!Does this name make any difference? !

A big tic tac toe popped out.

Ace, who was still out of state, retorted foolishly, "That's nothing, it's not as good as the domineering leak test from the head of the early Qing sister!"

Ace you bastard!The domineering of the wool!In reality, I'm just an ordinary girl, okay?

Then, another big tic tac toe popped out.

"Is it used as a game name just by changing a position?" Merritt came to a serious conclusion after a while of silent thinking, "Sure enough, my lord is incompetent in naming early in the morning~"

Even Merritt... This is not the point at all, okay! ! !

Then... a certain girl had so many wells on her forehead that they were about to fall off...

Allen, who was watching his words, finally spoke.

"My lord early in the morning, as expected, this is the only way to express our gratitude and respect for you."

It's because I don't want to have this inexplicably leftover title from SAO that looks like a hierarchy appear on my head, so I hope you can call me by your first name, okay?Don't you have a weird feeling out of reality when you call it that? ! ! ...Why didn't SAO's server also clean up the inexplicable memories of these guys when it crashed? !

And Ace, who never knew how to look at colors, said carelessly, "Well, it's so troublesome to change it back and forth. It's easy to be called Big Sister directly, and it's easy to be called such a cool name when walking on the street. It must be able to earn a lot of turning heads in an instant, don’t all women like this~”

"boom--"

A pillow quickly made intimate contact with Ace's head, which was still immersed in pride.

"Ugh...why did you hit me!" Ace muttered aggrievedly, looking at Zaoqing who was only left with his back.

"Because you owe~" Merritt raised his slender chin unceremoniously, and walked towards the sofa gracefully.

"Smelly woman! I will definitely teach you a lesson next time!"

"Okay~~I'll wait~~Although I guess there is no hope in a short time~"

Seeing Merritt, who was about to fight again, and Ace, who was struggling to pounce on Cassian, greeted Zao Qing with a headache.

"Well, whatever you like to call it, as for now, please sit in your respective seats first, it will always be so noisy for a while that even lunch time will pass." Looking at the blue-faced Ace at the table, Merritt with a smug face, Cassian with a paralyzed face, and Allen who has been abnormally silent, always felt something was wrong early in the morning.

"By the way...is there something missing...?"

The author has something to say: finally here, finally here, Susu said that the Knights of the Round Table who have always been very cute and cute King Arthur! ! !La la la, so this is an early morning round table dinner hehe~~~ I said that the fourth volume must write reality, so let’s do it hahaha~~~
