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

Something is not right.

Kaito Kuroba is in a panic right now. Heaven knows he just wanted to find someone to disguise himself and escape, how did things turn out like this?

Looking into those golden eyes that seemed to see right through people, Kaito Kuroba broke out in a cold sweat.

It doesn't seem to be his imagination; can normal human eyes emit light?

Could it be? Then what exactly is happening in front of him now?

Kaito Kuroba said that as the Phantom Thief Kid, he should present a high-class image in front of outsiders, even if the person in front of him looks very complicated... what a load of rubbish!

Every cell in his body was frantically reminding him not to lie to this person.

The terrifying pressure he had just felt told him that the target he had found was someone he could not handle at this stage.

When it's time to follow your heart, you should follow your heart.

Without a second thought, Kaito Kuroba immediately slid to his knees and apologized.

The entire combo was executed with fluid movements, demonstrating an extremely strong will to survive.

He honestly explained what he had originally planned to do, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very good.

Yu Bai merely raised an eyebrow at Kuroba Kaito's apology. Should this person be considered lucky or unlucky?

If you're lucky, you'll find your target in your divine form.

Unfortunately, they might discover it themselves and not have time to take action.

Yu Bai couldn't help but sigh. In his field of vision, he could clearly see the black aura that had been generated by Kuroba Kaito's desire to harm the gods, swirling around his body.

Because it's just an idea at this stage and hasn't been fully put into action yet, the dark energy hasn't completely merged into Kaito Kuroba's body.

If Kaito Kuroba dared to spray that sleeping potion he was hiding in his sleeve onto Yu Bai, he would soon be able to experience the taste of being cursed by the gods.

Although he didn't take any action, it seems that Kaito Kuroba's luck will be extremely bad for a while because he has ideas and is following him.

I wonder if, under these circumstances, he will still be able to steal the gems from President Suzuki's hands three days later.

"that……"

Seeing that the heir of the Yu family in front of him had not said a word but was staring at him as if looking at something he could not see, Kuroba Kaito felt uneasy.

"Alright, I'm not interested in how you escape. But... just a friendly reminder, you're going to have a lot of bad luck lately."

Kaito Kuroba was puzzled, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart: "Wh-what do you mean?"

Yu Bai glanced at the disguised middle-aged man in front of him with a half-smile, then shrugged: "It means exactly what it says~ I should go. Don't choose your disguise target randomly next time, or you might run into trouble."

For example, you pretended to be Ran and almost got beaten up by Conan, or you pretended to be Kazuha and almost got kissed by Hattori.

Impersonating me resulted in being punished with at least a week of bad luck.

tsk tsk~

In fact, whenever Yu Bai thought about some fragments he had seen in his previous life, he felt that there was something to enjoy.

I wonder if I'll be able to encounter those scenarios someday?

Watching the silver-haired boy leave, Kaito Kuroba finally let out a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

He reached up and ruffled his hair, his thoughts in a jumble.

This was the first time he had suffered such a setback since becoming the Phantom Thief Kid. Fortunately, the boy didn't seem very interested in his true identity.

Otherwise, if that person catches him and brings him before President Suzuki and the police, he'll be finished.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

Kaito Kuroba patted his chest, skillfully comforting himself.

……

"Why did you take so long in the bathroom?"

When the person who had been in the restroom for a long time finally appeared, Atobe Keigo gave Yu Bai a sharp look from head to toe, and only after confirming that he was safe and sound did he slowly ask.

Yu Bai simply smiled slightly, but he didn't mention the incident where Kuroba Kaito had tried to drug him in the toilet and then disguise himself as him.

"We met an interesting person, and it's getting late, let's head back."

After informing President Suzuki, although it was a bit of a pity, he knew that he couldn't force these three to stay, given the pressure from the Yu family, the Atobe family, and the Akashi family.

He thanked Yu Bai and the others for their willingness to stay at the banquet for a while, and then personally escorted the three of them to the door.

Yu Bai bid farewell to Atobe Keigo and Akashi Seijuro, promising to watch their matches in a while.

He found a secluded corner, took out the time-space converter, and returned directly to the entrance of the citadel.

"Fengyue, you're back."

As soon as he returned, Yu Bai heard Ke Buyue's voice.

Looking up, I saw Fuyuki dressed in a pure black kimono, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, sitting quietly on the courtyard corridor, as if she had been waiting for his return.

The silvery moonlight gently fell upon Bu Yue, adding a touch of languidness to his appearance.

"I'm back, Bu Yue," Yu Bai said with a smile.

"These were brought to you by the little monsters of Misumi Mountain."

Bu Yue slowly reached out and handed over a small, tightly wrapped item, but a hint of reluctance was visible on her face.

"Huh? Bu Yue, did you go back to Sanyu Mountain today?" Yu Bai asked curiously.

"Yes, I went to check on the situation of the Black-Clad and White-Hat Clan. This is something the White-Hat Clan asked me to bring to you. They said that all the yokai were too busy during the last Moon Festival and forgot to give it to you." There was a subtle emotion in Bu Yue's voice that was hard to detect.

Yu Bai took the item from Bu Yue's hand. Under the moonlight, he saw that its overall appearance was very familiar; it was the amulet he saw every day.

"Amulet?"

Yu Bai carefully examined the amulet from both sides: "It looks like it's been around for a long time, but it's remained intact because it's wrapped in a protective spell. And the way it looks is so similar to..."

As they talked, a name seemed to come to mind.

Abe Seimei!

That's right, because before Yu Bai learned Onmyodo from Abe no Seimei, he directly bought amulets from the general store. Later, in order to give the amulets Changge's healing and resurrection abilities, he specifically asked Abe no Seimei how to make them.

The amulets made by Abe no Seimei always had a unique charm in their design.

At that moment, Yu Bai immediately recognized the origin of this amulet.

……

Yu Bai: Should we say this guy is lucky or unlucky?

Unwilling: To hand over the protective charm. (Because it was done by Abe no Seimei, he did it unwillingly.)
