Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

During dinner, Yu Bai told everyone that he would be going to the mountains for a training camp with the Hyotei Tennis Club for the next week and that he wouldn't be coming back at night, which caught the attention of the swordsmen.

"My lord, please take me with you!" Upon hearing that his lord was going out to play with his human friends from the real world and wouldn't be going home, Hasebe, the master of the control, exclaimed.

The key issue is that they're not taking him along, and he feels like the sky is falling.

"Is our lord going to the mountains? Should we prepare some food or other necessities?" This was the reaction of Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, Yagen Toushirou, and others.

"Hmm? No need, no need. We're staying in a villa in the mountains. There are servants to prepare meals and such, so the conditions will be even better. Please don't worry." Yu Bai waved his hands repeatedly, signaling everyone not to be nervous.

After all, he was in a mountain villa in the real world, not some primeval forest.

At that moment, Ran Toushirou's eyes lit up, as if he had come up with a good idea.

He pulled along several of his short-sword brothers, skillfully "squeezing" Hasebe away from Yu Bai, and then eagerly offered his services.

"Master, Master, why don't you take a tsukumogami with you when you go out? I think short swords like ours are pretty good. They're highly mobile and their bodies are easy to hide on your person."

If our master is worried about being seen by others, we can also enter their physical body and be carried by them, where no one will be able to detect us.

"you!"

Squeezed aside, Hasebe's forehead veins were faintly visible. He was irreconcilably opposed to these short swords who liked to compete with him for the favor of the Saniwa!

"I think it's certainly wise for my lord to take a spirit with him when he goes out. Although the world is relatively peaceful now, there's no guarantee that other unknown dangers won't arise."

With a tsukumogami by their side, not only can the lord be protected, but in case of an emergency, everyone in the citadel can also be informed and react promptly.

The Seven Star Sword's words reminded everyone of the incident where the Saniwa accidentally fell into the history of another country during the teleportation, and the various inconveniences caused by the lack of manpower.

With this in mind, the sword spirits became even more determined to go out with Yu Bai.

"Haha, what do you think of me if we go out together, my lord? Although I'm an old man, I'm still known as the most beautiful sword among the Five Great Swords of the World. I'm confident in that."

Setting down his dessert, Mikazuki, laughing heartily, subtly joined this silent war.

"What's the use of beauty? The key is strength, isn't it? My lord, as a sword representing all people, may not have the moon-like beauty of Lord Mikazuki, but he still considers himself good-looking. And since he is a caged bird, shouldn't he stay by his master's side?"

If you don't like me, then what do you think of Xiaoye?

He raised his wide sleeves, his face half-hidden behind them, his voice carrying the hesitant tone characteristic of this sword.

Ever since he was forged by Yu Bai, Yu Bai listened to his lines such as "a caged bird" and "not using me," and made a decision.

He's been assigned to the sortie squad for a week now, so he can fight to his heart's content, right?

As expected, Soza Samonji, who was thrown onto the battlefield but was only level 1, raised his sword and slashed down with a clatter.

Fortunately, the sword spirits who teamed up with him each time had already leveled up, making it more than enough for them to carry him, a level 1 nobody.

Even so, the honor is often stolen by the lowest-ranking swordsman in the team.

Souza Samonji, exhausted to the point of looking pale every day, still kept up the cherry blossom blizzard, which also caused Souza Samonji's level to skyrocket, making him the highest-ranking tsukumogami in this citadel besides Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.

This situation only gradually lessened after Yu Bai forged Xiaoye Zuowenzi again.

"My lord!..."

"Master Saniwa!..."

The voices of different tsukumogami kept coming to his ears, and they all cared a lot about the spot to go out with the Saniwa.

The only time he had was a private world with the Saniwa, and it lasted for seven days!

……

"Ah, you're finally out! We were just missing you. And who is this...?"

Because it had rained last night, the air was still a bit damp in the morning. Yu Bai woke up to Yagen Toushirou's calls.

That's right, the final winner of the seven-day trip to the real world with the Saniwa is none other than the imposing short sword: Yagen Toushirou.

Last night, amidst the debates between the "carrying" theory proposed by the short swords, the "face" theory proposed by Mikazuki, and the "strength" theory led by Yashikiri and Souzo, the question of who should go to the human world to protect the Saniwa remained unresolved.

Among these three factions is the Smiling Green River Faction, which stands out from the rest of the swordsmen; this faction consists of only one person.

After he said, "I want to go to the human world with the Saniwa and help the Saniwa open the door to a new world," he was suppressed by the other Tsukumogami, who then arranged to meet him at the training ground.

At this point, Hasebe and Soza Samonji, who usually disliked each other, actually stood on the same side. Although Soza Samonji meant that he could also be considered one of the representatives, he still preferred strength.

Why didn't Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, the strongest among all the swords, speak?

Because of his introverted personality and his attempt to feign pitifulness with a few short knives, he suffered repeated defeats.

When Yu Bai came out of the conference room, the poor starting knife was still growing mushrooms in the corner.

Subsequently, the swordsmen decided on the final candidate through the fairest and most public method: rock-paper-scissors.

(If other lucky Saniwa knew this, they would definitely tell these swords that they were too naive.)

"Yu Bai, Yu Bai~ Why aren't you getting in yet? Huh, is this your younger brother? I've never heard of you having a younger brother." Seeing that Yu Bai and Atobe Keigo were not getting into the car, a red head popped out of the car window.

Mukahi Gakuto greeted Yu Bai cheerfully and immediately spotted Yagen Toushirou standing beside Yu Bai.

“Kei, this is my relative’s child, Yagen. He came to visit me recently, and I was worried about leaving him alone at home, so I’m planning to bring him along for this training camp.” Yu Bai rubbed Yagen Toushirou’s head and explained to Atobe Keigo.

As for the very noticeable red head on the car window, it quickly shrank back after Yu Bai gave it a friendly smile.

"Oh, it's just a child. My villa has plenty of rooms. You can bring him if you want."

"Thank you, Xiao Jing."

"Hmph, get in the car."

"Come on, come on!"

……

Yagen: You didn't expect that, did you? I'm the ultimate winner.

Other sword spirits: Damn it, we actually lost!

Kitsune-no-suke: He watched the whole thing from the sidelines, trembling with fear and too scared to join in.
