[Sword Art Online] game riddle

Although it is already spring, the vast city of the beginning is still shrouded in a desolate atmosphere.

It should be more than just the relationship of weather parameters.There are almost no players on the wide street covered by dusk. I don't know if it is an illusion. Even the BGM played by the NPC band is full of depressing minor melodies.

Recently, there have been rumors that the "Aincrad Liberation Army", a lower-level autonomous organization with the largest guild here, imposed a curfew on players, and it seems that this may really be the case.

Because the players outside are all "army" patrols wearing uniform bronze partial armor.

And when these guys saw Miyu and his group, they rushed over like patrolmen who tutored middle school students.

But when Asuna was in a bad mood right now, she immediately walked away when she saw the absolute zero gaze.

Kirito saw the opponent's attitude of being soft and fearful, so he blew a short whistle in a low voice.

Miyu looked at it for a while, and felt that it was a bit boring to do so, so she looked away.

In her eyes, as long as those people don't come out to cause trouble, she has no objection to asking her to give them money to help them if necessary.

On the contrary, they lost some freedom or rights, and Miyu didn't think there was any problem.

As for what the "army" that is responsible for compassionately managing these people is doing, and whether it is doing too much is beyond her consideration.

After all, those people are unwilling to obey, so go to fight monsters, or collect items...

If you don't dare...then accept it.

"...Looking like this, it's no wonder that Algort is so lively... Obviously the prices are high..." Kirito sighed unconsciously.

Agil suddenly uttered a more terrifying rumor in a gloomy voice: "Recently, the army seems to be starting to 'tax' the players."

"Taxes!?... It's a lie, how are we going to collect it?" Kirito's eyes widened in astonishment, and even Asuna looked at Agil with a slightly surprised expression on hearing the new news.

Agil seemed to enjoy their expressions, and said, "I don't know about this yet... probably it's directly drawn from the drops of monsters."

"Then the turnover of both of your stores will also be taxed." Kirito said so and looked at the sweet words aside.

Honey snorted coldly, and said, "As long as they dare, they can come," then burst out laughing suddenly, and said, "It's too mediocre to bother you, they don't even check whether they have that authority."

Honey Yu's eyes were full of sarcasm, but also with the arrogance that can only be seen at the top.

In fact, it is the simplest, the law of the jungle, if you are strong enough, you can naturally ignore all that.

What's more, they are just a guild, and they just joked that they really treat themselves as an army.

The news she got is that these people have changed their grades to colonel, lieutenant colonel and so on.

As for why she understood so clearly, it was naturally because her shop was so coveted.

At that time, it was a man wearing a silver helmet, with thick eyebrows and small eyes exposed under the helmet. His eyes shone with sharp light, and his mouth was seriously pursed into a line.

Then the man whispered to her, looked at her with contemptuous eyes that are typical of machismo men, and asked her to join the army with a tone of charity, and claimed to be a major.

Honey language glanced at him at the time, and said with even more contemptuous eyes and a frivolous voice: "Mr. Major, you really dare to say it."

Seeing the other party's thick eyebrows frowned, Mi Yu felt that the other party didn't blushed when he was questioned like that kind of young man, and even expressed emotion because of the way he couldn't speak clearly because of anger, but his voice suddenly became unequivocal. severe.

Teach that man like a child, "You haven't actively participated in the capture of floors this year, and you actually said you were fighting to liberate us."

"Hmph." The major was originally impatient with being assigned to this task, and when he found out that the object of the negotiation was a girl, he was even more dissatisfied. At this time, the other party's attitude was a shame to him. It's a good step, but being trained like a child like this really makes him feel bad.

But there is nothing else to do, do you want him to tell a bunch of reasons to let the other party join? Don't be kidding!

The major finally brushed off the cloak with his hand, and left with his hands behind his back.

Kirito and Agil, who were advancing while continuing such unappetizing topics, fell silent the moment they stepped on the stone slab of the Black Iron Palace.

Honey Yu also stopped because of the abrupt footsteps, and she looked up at this huge building that was only composed of iron pillars and iron plates exuding black luster.

The temperature here is obviously several degrees lower than outside.Asuna, who was walking in the front, also seemed to feel cold, and rubbed her exposed arms.

Maybe it was because it was late, or maybe because of the curfew just mentioned, there were no other people inside.

During the day, those players who did not believe that their friends or lovers had died came here to confirm, and the tears of players whose tear glands collapsed after seeing the ruthless horizontal lines engraved on their names were endless.

"Perhaps tomorrow, Yurk, a friend of Kainz who was killed by that gun and an eyewitness to the incident, will come here to confirm." Asuna, who was silent along the way, suddenly said at this time In this case.

Kirito looked at the black wall in front of him, and suddenly thought of the Moonlight Black Cat Group. If Miyu didn't arrive in time that day...whether he would come here to confirm.

Everyone walked quickly in the empty hall illuminated by blue flames.

When I came to the monument of life tens of meters wide, I stared at the vicinity of "G" among the countless names arranged in alphabetical order.

Miyu didn't stop, just walked to the right like this.

And Kirito and Asuna held their breath and began to search among the listed player names, and soon found that name.

"Grimlock".Horizontal line - no.

"...still alive." Kirito breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it, and then looked to the side, only to find that Agil and Miyu were not around.

When Miyu saw the name "Kains" crossed out, her expression became serious, and then she heard Agil beside her say, "Kains is indeed dead.

"Well, I know," Honey said, "The time of death is the 22nd of Sakura Moon [April], 27:[-]."

"...The date and time are correct. It was the time we ran out of the restaurant this evening." After whispering this, Asuna lowered her head and closed her eyes under the long eyelashes.

If you say it like that... honey words can only think, is that woman the biggest suspect...

Mi Yu felt that she had missed something, but she couldn't think of it for a while, things seemed to be getting more troublesome, Mi Yu pulled her hair.

At some point, the block's BGM has been replaced by a soothing waltz for late night. The iron gates of the NPC shops have been pulled down, and only the standing street lamps are left to illuminate the street.Even the patrols of the "army" can't be seen.

After everyone returned to the transfer gate plaza without a word, Asuna who was walking in front turned her head and said, "...the search for Grimlock will start tomorrow."

"That's right..." Kirito nodded.

Agil's brows were frowned, "That... I, generally, I'm not a fighter but a businessman..."

"Got it. Let's fire you as an assistant today." Kirito patted Agil on the back, and he showed a relieved expression, and said "Sorry"

Miyu heard this, and then said to Kirito in a serious manner: "Actually, I am also a businessman." After speaking, she wanted to stand in the same team as Agil.

"Don't think about slipping away," Kirito grabbed Miyu's arm with one hand and said, "Don't forget, you have already agreed to form a team with me."

"Hey, hi...why do you have to have such a good memory." Miyu found that Kirito was becoming less and less cute, and she began to miss Kirito who was a bully and good-tempered before.

On the contrary, after being interrupted by honey words, Agil let go of his slightly guilty expression about wanting to quit, and said to honey words, "Come on, take my share." After leaving these words, Agil Disappeared from the transfer gate.

Asuna was going back to the guild headquarters, so she bid farewell here.

In the end, only Kirito and Miyu were left. Standing in front of the transfer door flickering with blue light, Kirito said, "Agil didn't leave because he thought "making money first" from the bottom of his heart. "Investigation is troublesome." Ah, etc. I probably hate to face the player who made the disaster weapon directly. It's not that I'm afraid, but just the opposite—I'm afraid that my anger that I should have uttered against monsters will not be able to hold back against the blacksmith Break out. Wait... where are you going?"

"Go home." Miyu turned and said to Kirito who was still standing there.

Kirito strode forward to catch up with Miyu almost without hesitation, and said with some doubts: "Hey, don't you care about Agil's words?"

"I believe he's not that kind of person, although I don't know him as well as you do, why?" Honey said casually, and casually smoothed out the messy hair that I didn't know because of being pulled.

"...No." Kirito tried to see if she was forcing what she said, but he still didn't see anything and gave up.

Miyu looked at his expression, and said with some amusement: "Do you really want me to doubt Mr. Egil, or do you say so?" Miyu took a step closer to Kirito, and saw that the other party's fair face was crawling because of her actions. Get flushed and say, "Worried I'll compare you to him?"

The movement of Kirito's sweet words, even the eyes began to wander, not knowing where to put it, and suddenly thought just now... Wasn't he angry?

Miyu looked at the other person, chuckled, returned to her original position, and said, "Don't worry, although it is often said that friends are like people, but you don't have to worry at all, because you have me as a friend."

"...You really dare to say it." Kirito couldn't help but said to Miyu's face with a gorgeous smile.

In the end, he sighed in his heart, forget it, Kirito looked at this virtual starry sky, thinking, don't worry, just let nature take its course, he has plenty of time.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry everyone, QUQ, Lin is very busy. There will be more classes tomorrow, and there will be an update the day after tomorrow. Don't rush to beat up QUQ. Next week, Lin will apply for the list, no matter how many words there are, it will be one more than that number of words!So beg for a slap...
