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

"Ouch! Ouch! Lady Fengyue, can we talk about something? Can you please stop dragging me by my leg?"

"No, you are quite large. I am a god who was born not long ago. How can I carry you? I can only drag you like this. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Thanks to the Moon Goddess's leniency... no, it should be said that she released the sea, Yu Bai easily caught up with the flirtatious fox demon using his Changge Great Lightness Skill. After a friendly "exchange," he picked up the fox by one hind leg and began its dragging journey through the mountains.

The mountain path was rugged and uneven. The head of the dragged fox monster would occasionally make intimate contact with the stones by the roadside, making "bang bang" sounds. Coupled with its pained expression of baring its teeth with its fox face, the scene was both comical and hilarious.

"Lord Fengyue, let's make a deal. Don't you have a demon-capturing bottle? You can use that bottle to capture me, then take the bottle to the finish line and release me. How about that? That way, it'll save you the trouble, won't it?"

The fox demon felt that there was still a chance to save the situation, and began to suggest that Yu Bai use the demon-capturing bottle.

Upon hearing this, Yu Bai pulled a small, flawless white bottle from his robes, beaming with a radiant smile: "Eh? But I've only been born a short time. I don't know anything about such a high-level thing as a demon-capturing bottle~"

"It's very simple, sir. You just need to open the bottle cap, aim it at me, and gently suck, and I'll obediently go in."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, regardless of whether Fengyue Shen genuinely didn't know how to use it or was pretending not to, the fox demon began actively promoting the bottle's usage.

Yu Bai listened to the fox demon's words, pondered for a moment, and just as the fox demon's eyes grew brighter, he gently loosened his grip on his hand with its distinct knuckles and fair skin, and the small white bottle fell to the ground, rolling away a distance with a gurgling sound.

"I hit you too hard just now, my hand is still sore. Oops~ I didn't hold it properly, the bottle fell."

"It seems I'll have to keep dragging you along; it'll be more convenient that way."

Ignoring the demon-capturing bottle that had fallen to the ground, he continued to carry the fox by the leg and walk towards the foot of the mountain.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. Lady Fengyue, as an omnipotent deity, how about you lift me up by my legs and take me flying?"

Seeing that Yu Bai was about to drag him along again, the fox demon was truly terrified.

Actually, he's thick-skinned and doesn't care if he gets bumped by stones on the road a few times.

But if he were dragged to the finish line in front of a group of monsters and humans, where would he put his demonic face?

From then on, whenever those monsters saw him, they would say, "Aren't you the monster who was dragged back by Fengyue Goddess during the competition between Fengyue Goddess and Buyue Goddess?"

How can he ever show off his majestic and powerful demonic appearance in front of his beautiful demon sister again?

So even being lifted up by the legs and swung around in the air is better than being dragged along the ground.

"I also want to carry you and fly away. But little fox, I've just become a god, and my flying skills aren't very good yet. In order to prevent us from falling down together in mid-air, I'll have to make do with what you're doing now."

"Or perhaps, little fox, you have some kind of problem with me, hmm?" After politely declining the fox demon's request, Yu Bai smiled at him.

Upon hearing this, the fox demon quickly shook its head in denial: "No, no! This is perfect. It's such an honor to have my fox leg held by the hands of the Goddess Fengyue! Hahaha..."

I'm suffering inside, but I dare not say it; I have to force a smile on my face. After all, he heard that last "hmm?" perfectly clearly. Wasn't that a threat? (╥﹏╥)

Next time, uh... he'll dare again!

A moment of leisure brings a moment of pleasure. Constant leisure brings constant pleasure!

Knowing the situation was irreversible, the fox demon covered its face with its front paws as it was dragged along—even though those two little paws couldn't cover anything at all. But sometimes, burying your head in the sand is an effective way to deceive yourself.

……

As Yu Bai effortlessly carried the unfortunate fox demon across the finish line, the winner of this race was self-evident.

The Earth God rang the bell beside him again, signaling the end of the competition.

The little monsters gathered around, cupping their cheeks and starting to discuss.

"Did you all see Lady Fengyue's figure just now? She was absolutely stunning, with an ethereal and otherworldly grace!"

"I see it, I see it. As expected of Lady Fengyue, it's so beautiful, but that fox on the ground is a bit in the way."

"Yes, it's a real pity. Both Lord Fengyue and Lord Buyue are wearing masks, so we can't see their true faces. If only we could see the true faces of the gods."

"How could a lowly demon like us possibly see the face of a deity? Forget about it."

However, in this harmonious atmosphere, a unique voice suddenly rang out, like a breath of fresh air, instantly attracting the attention of all the monsters: "Hehe, actually... I'm a little envious of that monster whose leg was being dragged by Lord Fengyue. If it were me being dragged along by Lord Fengyue himself... just thinking about it makes me a little excited."

Upon hearing this, a brief silence fell over the surroundings, followed by a mixture of complex emotions in the eyes of the onlookers. The demons around the little demon who had spoken took two steps back, their faces saying, "Brother, don't go too far."

"What are you looking at me for? Don't tell me you don't want to!" The little demon, who was being stared at by the demons, was uncomfortable for a moment, but then spoke up confidently, as if it were perfectly reasonable.

The monsters around him were momentarily led astray by his thoughts: If Fengyue Shen were to personally pull their legs and drag them along... it seems... well, it's not impossible?

……

"Buyue, you just released a bit too much water."

After the match ended and he absorbed another wave of faith power, Yu Bai flashed to Bu Yue's side, gently poked his arm with his fingertip, his tone teasing and amused.

At this moment, Bu Yue had quietly withdrawn the black energy he had deliberately released in the sky. He put his hands in his sleeves and waited quietly for Yu Bai.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the humans and announce the results." As Bu Yue spoke, she took out a bottle from her sleeve that was exactly the same as the demon-capturing bottle that Yu Bai had lost before.

Gently unscrew the stopper and point the bottle at the unfortunate fox demon. In just a moment, the fox demon, drawn in by the powerful suction from the bottle, turned into a wisp of smoke and was slowly sucked into the bottle.

However, Bu Yue did not give the demon-capturing bottle directly to Yu Bai. Instead, she held it in one hand and naturally took Yu Bai's hand with the other, saying, "I... I did this to prevent you from getting lost again."

Well, since Bu Yue's expression couldn't be seen through the mask, Yu Bai wanted to lift the mask to see Bu Yue's expression, but in order to avoid letting a certain god play hide-and-seek with him again, he refrained.

It's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Only when the two approached the human village did he hand the bottle to Yu Bai. Then, a thick layer of black mist enveloped him once again, completely covering him.

The dark head nodded in the direction of the village, signaling Yu Bai to go first.

Yu Bai slowly walked to the center of the crowd with the demon-capturing bottle in his hand, opened the bottle, and as a wisp of smoke drifted out, the figure of the fox demon gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Lord Fengyue God!"

"Lady Toyotsuki has won!"

"That's wonderful! Lord Toyotsuki has won! With you protecting Misumi Mountain, this year is sure to be a bountiful harvest!"

The villagers cheered with joy when they saw that it was Lord Fengyue who had won the competition.

That's great! This time, it's Lady Toyotsuki who won the competition.

"Hmph. Even if you win this time, Fengyue, I will come again next time, and then Mount Misumi will be my property." Fuyue reappeared in the air and began his performance.

Yu Bai also began to cooperate with his performance, exclaiming, "Moon Goddess, no matter how many times we compete in the future, I will be the winner. I will always stand here, protecting Sanyu Mountain and every living being on this land."

Okay, okay, the performance is over. Let's go back and watch the sunset with Buyue.

……

Monsters: From this moment on, the door to a new world opens.

Bu Yue: I'm serious about acting skills.

Yu Bai: How was it? Was my last sentence emotionally resonant?
