Recently, Suguha often looked at her own face, and when she realized it, she found that she often stood at the entrance of the washroom and fell into deep thought as long as she could see her own face.

It's not that she doesn't like her appearance, it's normal. In her mind, no girl will be 100% satisfied with her appearance. She didn't care much at first, but after returning to this home with someone, she Compare often in your head.

After the stretching exercise was completed, Suguha picked up the bamboo knife leaning on the black pine branch.Due to long-term use, she is very skillful in her movements. She straightened her back and assumed a mid-section posture.

Keeping your posture and adjusting your breathing—for a moment, with a sharp momentum, you struck the bamboo knife forward.This waving as if it could cut off the morning air scared several birds and flew out from the treetops above their heads.

The Kirigaya House is an old Japanese-style building that remains on a former street in a castle town in the southern part of Saitama Prefecture.

The whole family lives here.

Although the father and mother don't seem to fit in well with this house now, it's just Suguha's grandfather who passed away four years ago, but he is a very serious and temperamental figure.

He has been a policeman for many years, and he was famous for his kendo when he was young. He has only one son, which is Suguha's father, so his grandfather also wants him to take this path.

My father was still practicing kendo before he entered high school, but later he gave up this path and went directly to study in the United States, and later worked in a foreign-funded securities company.And married Suguha's mother, Sui, who transferred to the Japanese branch.

This is the beginning of life across the Pacific Ocean back and forth. Maybe the dust has settled, so the grandfather can only turn his enthusiasm to Suguha and O Suguha's one-year-old Kazuto.

Suguha and his brother went to a nearby dojo to practice when they were in elementary school, but under the influence of their mother who worked in computer magazines, Kazuto preferred keyboards to kendo, and quit the dojo in two years.

Unlike her older brother, who has just started, Suguha and Kendo are very compatible. After her grandfather passed away, she still held the bamboo sword.

Suguha is 15 years old this year.Last year at the final meeting of the middle school, he achieved a relatively high ranking in the country, and was recommended to a famous high school in the county by the school's decision in the spring.

The original self was not confused about the way forward.

Because I like kendo in the first place, and being able to respond to the expectations of my surroundings makes me happier than anything else.

But just two years ago, his brother was involved in an event that shook Japan, which made Suguha feel confused.

She regretted it, so to speak.When Suguha was seven years old, his elder brother gave up kendo, and there was a deep generation gap between the two. Suguha regretted not narrowing the generation gap.

The elder brother who gave up the bamboo knife, seemed to seek a cure, and was immersed in the computer all day long.In elementary school, he made machines out of parts and programmed them with the help of his mother.

These are like foreign languages ​​to Suguha.

Of course, the school also teaches some computer operation knowledge, and there is a small computer in Suguha's room.However, all she knows is to use the computer to send emails and search to the extent that she still can't understand the world her brother lives in.

After her brother became obsessed with online RPG games, she felt a huge sense of disobedience.

Because in her memory, this kind of otaku attribute should not be equated with the most perfect brother in her eyes anyway.

With the idea of ​​evasion, she put on a disguised mask.

She didn't understand why the two of them became like this.

When Mingming was young, the relationship between Suguha and brother had always been as good as friends.

But now that her brother has gone to another world, far away from herself, Suguha, as if wanting to eliminate her loneliness, devotes herself wholeheartedly to the way of swordsmanship.

The distance between the two is constantly widening, and the daily conversations are also constantly decreasing. I don't know when the relationship between the two will become ordinary.

To be honest, Suguha often feels lonely.

She wants to talk to her brother more.I want to understand the world my brother lives in, and I want my brother to watch my game.

But at a time when those emotions were about to be expressed, this incident happened.

The nightmarish "SWORDARTONLINE" event.The minds of [-] young people across Japan were imprisoned in electronic cages, where they slept for a long time.

The day Suguha visited the large-scale hospital where her brother was taken in for the first time.

When she saw her sleeping brother lying on the hospital bed, entangled by many data cables, and wearing that disaster-like helmet, Suguha cried, the first time since she could remember.

She hugged her brother and cried loudly.

I can no longer talk to my brother.

Why didn't I work hard to narrow the distance with my brother before?

This is not difficult at all, as long as you think about it, you should be able to do it.

Reconsider whether to continue kendo, because the gap between the two started from kendo, didn't it?

In this way, if she gives up, will her brother return to her side, and the two of them will be as good as before.

However, because I was very confused, the answer has never come out.When she was 14 years old and 15 years old when she didn't meet her older brother, Suguha was persuaded and recommended by the people around her to go to school, and whether to continue on this path has always occupied her heart.

Now that my brother has come back, I must talk to him a lot this time.

To dispel all troubles and confusion, take advantage of the conversation.Suguha made this decision, and two months ago, a miracle happened.The elder brother escaped from the bondage by his own strength and regained consciousness.

Because Guimu didn't enter the game for a long time, so his recovery is much faster than Miyu. Two months have passed. Although Miyu has recovered a lot, it is impossible to be the same as before entering this game. .

Gui Mu sat beside Mi Yu's bed, as if showing off, but also as a habit, took the knife and started peeling apples.

But he didn't take the PFP that he never left.

But this time, Miyu didn't worry about gain and loss like in the game, but laughed and joked: "The doctor still restricts you?"

Guimu's apple-peeling hand paused when he heard the sweet words, but he quickly resumed his homework and said, "That's better than refusing to look in the mirror like you are now."

Mi Yu choked on Gui Mu's words, and snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction, but she didn't argue with him too much, she just watched him peel an apple completely.

Then, under Miyu's gaze, he took a bite of the apple.

Miyu glanced at Guimu who was eating happily, picked up the fruit knife he had put aside, and the fruit basket not far away, and started to do it himself.

But two months of rehabilitation training did not allow her to do things that she could do in the virtual world but not in the real world.

Yes, she is indeed far from Yamato Nadeko.

Guimu couldn't see how a round apple was peeled off, but he still held back.

But Mi Yu almost cried after finally eating the apple.

Even though it has been two months since I came back from the game, the psychological and physical gap from switching from the virtual world to the real world cannot be described in words.

As animals that evolved on the East African grasslands, human beings essentially like open and sunny environments.

The fidelity of the virtual world is only a simulation, and it is difficult for users to interact wholeheartedly. A fake product is a fake product after all, and even if it is praised to the sky, there is no way to compare to the original product.

People need to feel the real movement of the body in space, and can feel wind, temperature, humidity, smell and gravity.

Not having any of these, or a simulation that isn't realistic enough, can be sensory depriving.

"It's torture." She sighed, feeling the taste of the apple in reality and the feeling of the juice flowing from her lips and teeth.

Gui Mu is a smart person, not to mention that it's not just Miyu who thinks this way, he only heard his soft "hmm" and took out the PFP from his pocket...

Kirito, should be called Kiritani Kazuto, he looked at his sister, no, cousin, came back from jogging, threw her a bottle of water, squinted his eyes, smiled and said to her: "Good morning."

"Morning...good morning." Suguha was not used to the change in Kazuto's attitude, but at the same time was delighted.

But how can the two-year window be filled in two months?

So the two fell into a strange silence, although Suguha had long thought about getting along well with Katoren, she just didn't know how to speak for a while, and in the end she just took small sips of water.

And Kirito is distracted.

He looked at his bony fingers, thinking that every morning when he saw himself in the mirror, he felt a little frightened. Really, isn't it enough to be teased by his sister and mother as "Sleeping Beauty"? Never regret it?

Feeling that her brother was distracted, Suguha pursed her lips, and said to him, "Brother, are you going to inquire about her after class?"

"Ah... um." Kazuto came back to his senses because of Suguha's words, although he didn't have much hope for getting news about her, he just wanted to try his luck or something.

After all, the first person he saw when he just woke up was neither his mother nor his father nor Suguha, but a man in a suit.

He claimed to be a person sent by the "SAO Incident Countermeasure Headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications".

This well-known organization was formed immediately after SAO's time broke out frequently, but there was nothing to do in the past two years.It's better to say that there is no way to start.If the server is deactivated without authorization, the mastermind of this incident is also the program of the programmer Akihiko Kayaba, and the brains of 1 people will be destroyed.No one can afford this responsibility.

After that, they regrouped and began to investigate the situation of the victims in their hospital-this alone is a big job-just check the player's information in the server.

Even so, they detected Kazuto's level and existence coordinates, and they knew that they were the top players in the "Defense Team".

So the moment the players trapped in SAO suddenly woke up, they rushed to Kazuto's ward to find out what happened.

Kazuto, on the other hand, put forward conditions to this civil servant wearing black-rimmed glasses.

He will say everything he knows as much as possible.But instead he has to provide what he wants to know.

What he wanted to know was of course sweet words, but after a few minutes of calling on the phone, he was finally disappointed.

Because she was not taken to the hospital.

The author has something to say:
