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

After bidding farewell to Minamoto no Yoshitsune and King Enma, Yu Bai, holding Imagin's hand, followed Hozuki towards the Gates of Hell.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hozuki saw two white-haired boys holding hands, and his expression darkened even further.

"This is the gate to hell. Go out from here and you will enter the world of the living."

stare--

Imagin noticed the black-haired demon's unfriendly gaze fixed on his and his lord's hands. Where Yu Bai couldn't see, he looked up at Hozuki and gave him a provocative smile, even deliberately shaking his clasped hands for the other person to see.

(▼plate▼)

The spiked club rattled as it was squeezed, and Hozuki felt that this tsukumogami intended to kill him.

"Well then, Hozuki, see you next time~"

Unaware of the danger, Yu Bai led Jin Jian slowly into the gates of hell opened by Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Because Hozuki had specifically told him not to turn around after entering, Yu Bai could only wave his hand with his back to Hozuki.

Step, step, step.

Footsteps echoed on the ground, and the white light ahead was the last barrier to the human world.

"Hold Jin Jian's hand tight, we're going back now."

"Yes, my lord, I will hold your hand tightly."

Stepping through the white light, Yu Bai felt his body lighten, and instantly the sounds of bicycles and voices came from all around.

I raised my hand to shield my eyes from the bright light, and after a while, I slowly lowered my hand.

only.

...If I remember correctly, it was nighttime when I fell into the hole, right?

The bright sunlight now seems to have nothing to do with night!

……

"Hey~"

At night, Yu Bai sat on a chair in a convenience store, eating a rice ball and sighing helplessly.

He's become numb to his transmigrating ability, but he doesn't know how fast the time flow will be this time, or if he'll be able to make it back in time for the beach barbecue.

As soon as Yu Bai emerged from the Gates of Hell, he keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Night turned into day, and the Qianjin Sword, which had been holding his hand, returned to its original form as a sword and was held in his hand.

He's familiar with this opening scene.

Isn't this exactly the same as when I traveled to Heian-kyo last time?

However, looking at the surrounding skyscrapers and the bustling traffic,

Very good, it's not ancient times, it's modern times.

After spending the entire afternoon asking around, Yu Bai finally figured out where he was.

Frustrated, Yu Bai scratched his head. At this moment, he could only express his feelings with two images: [groundhog screaming.jpg] and [kitten screaming with its head in its hands.jpg].

Good news: We are still in the original world of the third incarnation.

Bad news: The timeline is before the Conan storyline began, and I was just a little kid at that time.

Worse still: to avoid time paradoxes, he'd better not appear before his past self now.

In other words, he can't go home.

Hahaha, what a tragic life! (ノへ￣、)

That's why he's still sitting in the convenience store late at night.

He carefully hid the sword in his pocket, then took a big, vicious bite into the rice ball, his pale cheeks puffed up from being stuffed with rice.

From a distance, it looks just like an angry cat, its irritated tail constantly slapping the ground.

Tomorrow, I'm going to rent a place!

Unsure how long it would take for Yu Bai to return to his original timeline, he decided to find a place to stay tomorrow, and for tonight he would have to stay in a hotel.

and many more!

That being said, my ID card and bank card probably can't be used anymore, right?

Good heavens, they've even become "illegal residents".

Thinking about this problem, Yu Bai instantly slumped weakly onto the table.

I thought that after transmigrating through three lifetimes, I had finally secured a government job, could eat the government's food, and then prepare to retire and live a life of leisure.

As a result, the frequent time travels were like forcing a lazy bum to work overtime.

Furthermore, most people who time-travel usually have a script with them, so they can skip over any pitfalls.

As for him? He's completely forgotten the plot; the story from his first life was too distant a time ago.

In his second life, he was busy with the An Lushan Rebellion, so how could he remember the anime he watched in his first life?

Now in my third life, aside from Prince of Tennis, Detective Conan, and One Piece, which accompanied me through most of my first life from elementary school to my working years due to their extremely long storylines.

He can only vaguely recall things now, as for the rest? I'm not afraid to tell you, everyone will laugh.

Even if you put the main character in front of Yu Bai, he might not be able to guess who it is.

Please, have mercy on me. I'm just an old man who wants to drink tea and laugh every day like Mikazuki.

……

The convenience store where Yu Bai is currently located is not very large. There is one clerk and some customers shopping inside.

Judging from their attire, these customers are probably local residents, dressed quite comfortably. There was also a mother buying snacks with her child in the snack area.

“Welcome~”

As the clerk spoke, two more people walked into the convenience store.

Because Yu Bai was in the customer area of ​​the convenience store, which was near the glass door, even if you didn't specifically look at the two people who had just entered, you would still catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye.

Not to mention that one of them had such striking light blonde hair, and Yu Bai had just met this person at noon today, it would be hard not to remember him.

Tooru Amuro, or more accurately, a young Rei Furuya.

Beside him was a tall young man with regular features, thick eyebrows, and a buzz cut, who looked very upright.

Date Wataru, the captain of the five-member team from Conan Police Academy. He later died in a car accident.

Yu Bai is now very certain of which timeline he has traveled to.

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen.

If you know that an event is about to happen, would you try to change or prevent it from happening?

If this event occurs, and you have enough power to protect yourself and others, what would you choose?

of course.

Yu Bai never considered himself a completely good person, but he knew he had the power to stop it without having to pay any price.

So why not do it?

Yu Bai jumped off the chair, walked towards Furuya Rei and Date Wataru, and then stood in front of them.

"Hello, I've lost my phone. May I borrow your phone to make a call?"

"of course can."

……

Jin Jian: (′?`??) Showing off their clasped hands

Hozuki: (▼皿▼) You have already chosen the path to death.
