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

"No!!!!! Kitsunenosuke!!!!"

With that desperate scream, before the Fox Spirit of the Sogetsu family could finish speaking, his mouth was tightly pinched shut by a pair of hands.

"Kitsune-no-suke, what were you trying to say just now? Hmm?" Shuyue gave a dry laugh to everyone, then turned Kitsune-no-suke around, brought her face close to the fox's face, stared intently at Kitsune-no-suke, and whispered.

Just now, she was excitedly planning to see how many new sword spirits had arrived at Yu Bai's house, but before she even reached the door, they heard the voices of two fox spirits.

At first, I found it funny that Kitsunenosuke was acting like a child, insisting on winning. But as I listened, I realized something was wrong. I couldn't let Kitsunenosuke continue, or it wouldn't be a matter of winning or losing, but rather whether the Saniwa would be killed.

"Sir, Master Saniwa..."

Help! How could I have gotten so carried away? It's all Yu Bai's fault for having that fox spirit, Fox Spirit.

How to do how to do?

Q: I exposed my boss's dark past during work hours, and he found out. What should I do? I need an answer urgently!

"Pfft, Shuyue. I didn't know you liked staying up so late. Be careful not to lose your hair or die suddenly. And who did you carry in a princess carry? Tell me so Wuyan and I can have some fun."

The meaning of a friend is that if you make a fool of yourself, they will definitely worry, but while worrying, they will also mercilessly laugh at you.

"Hehe~ I love staying up late, I love this feeling of battling with the King of Hell. But poor Yu Bai, after finishing his official duties every day, still has to rush to do his homework, and even has to get up early the next morning for school. How wonderful! Is this the spirit of youth?"

Upon hearing Shuyue's words, Yu Bai's smile froze instantly. As the saying goes, a smile doesn't disappear, but it can shift.

Look how happy Shuyue is next to me.

Okay, I started it, so I can't blame anyone else for the backlash. He's my friend, I should pamper him. Besides, he's just a miserable student himself.

but……

"...I need to have a chat with my Kitsunenosuke."

"Haha, I also want to have a private talk with Kitsunenosuke."

Seeing that Yu Bai had ended the fight so decisively, Shu Yue had no intention of continuing. Instead, after seeing her friend carry her own Kitsune out the door, she told the others that she wanted to spend some time alone with Kitsune.

In an instant, only Gogenichi, his Kitsune-no-suke, and a group of Tsukumogami remained in the private room. The scene of the Saniwa's exchange meeting was repeated once again.

Seeing this, Wu Yan calmly found a seat and sat down. However, when no one was paying attention, a hint of a smile flashed in his dark eyes, which held a coldness in them.

……

"Wow! My little ancestor! The Sanjo family! Ichigo Hitofuri! And so many short swords! Could those two over there be Genji treasures? Wow! There's even Little Lucky? Yu Bai, you've got to be lucky! You didn't even include me in this opportunity!"

Based on the principle that as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed. After teaching the two fox spirits a lesson, Yu Bai and Shu Yue walked in together. Then, Shu Yue was captivated by the swords and blades.

She hadn't seen it clearly in the rush, but now that she could, tears of envy streamed down Shuyue's face.

Look at those rare and powerful swords, those long-legged little angels, and even Gun Daddy Yu Bai has two of them.

This almost made Shuyue disregard her image and grab the hand of the spirit, starting to absorb its good fortune.

Fortunately, Hachisuka of the Shuzuki family stopped Shuzuki in time when he saw his master chuckle and reach out to touch the sword with a dazed look in his eyes.

Seeing Hachisuka clinging tightly to Shuyue while politely apologizing, Yu Bai waved his hand to indicate it was alright. Looking at the gleaming golden Hachisuka, Yu Bai even had the leisure to think: This sword, it's not easy to make. Is that real gold on him? He wanted to take a bite to confirm.

The food at Deyuelou is delicious; it's the same place Yu Bai ordered takeout from before. The owner is a genuine Chinese rabbit.

The three of them, along with Kitsunenosuke and the Tsukumogami, had a good meal at Tokugetsuro. During the meal, they talked about the current situation of their Honmaru.

Wu Yan said that his Honmaru's spirits have been a bit too stressed lately, so he's planning to take his swords to the beach for a couple of days to relax. He wonders if Yu Bai and Shu Yue would be interested in taking their Honmaru along.

"Why does the phrase 'seaside vacation' seem so out of place when applied to Wu Yan? I thought he was a tireless robot," Shu Yue whispered quietly into Yu Bai's ear.

"I can hear you."

Shuyue thought she had spoken very softly, but Wuyan still heard her. She looked up and smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, I'll definitely go! It would be my honor to go on vacation with our Lord Wuyan. When is it? Tell me."

Ignoring Shuyue's antics, Wuyan turned her gaze to Yubai.

"Yes, it's kind of you to invite me, of course I'll go." Understanding that this person wanted to ask if he would go, Yu Bai readily gave his answer.

He was quite happy to be able to go on a beach vacation with his friends. And it would also allow the sword spirits in the citadel to relax—why not?

"I'll send you my location next Saturday at noon. You can just send it to me. See you at the beach then." Seeing that both of his friends had accepted the invitation to go on vacation together, Wu Yan simply and efficiently stated the time and place.

"See you next Saturday~ I'll prepare some meat, let's have a beach barbecue." Shuyue was already thinking about what she needed to bring to the beach.

"Then I'll bring a projector, and we can watch movies together."

"Okay!"

After eating and drinking their fill, the three said their goodbyes.

Watching Wu Yan and Shu Yue disappear into the distance, Yu Bai turned to the others and said, "Let's go, we need to get ready to go back too."

After picking up the teleporter and setting the location, Yu Bai pressed the teleportation button.

"Ok?"

Just as everyone was about to be teleported away, Yu Bai keenly sensed a distortion in spacetime.

Oh no... could it be?

"My lord!!" Higekiri, who was closest, immediately noticed something was wrong, but he only had time to grab the Saniwa's sleeve before he was teleported away with Yu Bai along with a white light.

"My lord! Aniga!!!"

"general!"

"Main Hall!!!"

When the spirit standing nearby realized what was happening, its first instinct was to grab Yu Bai's hand. But unfortunately, it was too late.

They could only watch as their lord and Higekiri, accompanied by the echoing words, "Shōdaikiri, remember to ask for leave for me, Kage, and Yuushi~ Leave~ Ah~", disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yu Bai: We agreed last time that we wouldn't lose contact easily, but the teleporter messed up again.

Kitsunenosuke: My lord!!!

Tsukumogami: So, we're going to start rescuing our master, right?
