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

"I see. That's unexpected. I never thought that our citadel would be unable to forge me. But I'm not such a difficult sword to forge."

Stopped by the short swords' impulse to return to his original form, Izuminokami Kanesada, amidst their repeated complaints and lamentations, finally realized why Ran Toushirou and the others had acted this way when they saw him.

I just didn't expect that the Saniwa of this citadel would accompany these short swords on so many sorties. In addition, I heard from the short swords that they wanted to go on sorties to find me because of Horikawa Kunihiro in the citadel.

Looking at it this way, this citadel Izuminokami Kanesada, who was still completely unaware of the Saniwa's constitution, thought to himself.

"Alright, now that we've found Izuminokami, let's go back."

Finally, Yu Bai, relieved that this ordeal was over, gently pressed the teleporter. Instantly, they returned to their familiar Honmaru.

Excellent, no unexpected time travel occurred. The stabilizer's effect was indeed remarkable this time. Yu Bai looked at the familiar scenery around him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When they returned to the citadel, it was already filled with various tsukumogami. After all, Yu Bai and the short swords' plan to retrieve their swords was quite eye-catching.

Especially in just one afternoon, they kept appearing in the citadel and then teleporting out again, without even having a moment to stop and rest.

At first, only a few swordsmen sat in the courtyard to wait because they were worried, but as Yu Bai and his group went in and out more often, more and more tsukumogami were attracted to the teleporter in the center of the courtyard.

Mainly, they were afraid that their lord might accidentally time travel again. However, unexpectedly, after so many teleportations, they not only avoided time travel but also successfully brought back Izumi no Kami Kanesada.

"Mr. Ken!"

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Horikawa Kunihiro saw that familiar figure among the team that had been teleported back. He was so excited that he almost jumped up. He ran over and hugged Izuminokami Kanesada tightly, as if he wanted to pour all his longing and joy into the embrace.

After taking a deep breath and feeling that long-lost familiarity and warmth, Horikawa Kunihiro stepped back shyly and thanked Yu Bai and the little swords with a slightly flushed face.

"It's nothing, I..." Just as Yu Bai was about to say something, everyone saw a summoning circle that they had never seen before suddenly light up under his feet.

Standing in the summoning circle, Yu Bai's silver hair slowly turned green from the bottom up, and his white shirt gradually transformed into a white robe. At the same time, a voice that only he could hear appeared in his ear.

"Be full, be full, be full, be full, and so on, until the fifth time."

However, the moment of fullness is the moment of ruin; its foundation is silver and iron. Its base is stone, upon which the great fairness of the contract rests.

……

The announcement is repeated repeatedly on the three-way intersection leading to the kingdom!

You shall obey my commands; my life shall be with your sword.

Answer the call of the Holy Grail; if you are willing to follow this will and this righteousness, then respond and swear this oath.

I wish to accomplish all good deeds in the world; I wish to eradicate all evil deeds in the world.

You are one of the seven days bound by the three great incantations, a guardian of the Wheel of Restraint and the Scales.

The brutal suppression and extraction of his power, along with the domineering act of attempting to sign a contract with him without regard for his personal will, instantly darkened Yu Bai's expression.

A strong sense of dissatisfaction and displeasure hung over him like a dark cloud, making him feel extremely bad.

"You wait here for me. I want to see who has the audacity to summon me by force."

Yu Bai waved to the anxious and worried Tsukumogami beside him, indicating that they didn't need to be too nervous, and then said in a cold voice.

With his own immense power, he forcefully suppressed the force that was transforming his body. The silver light shone again, replacing the green that had appeared.

Yu Bai was genuinely angry. If he had been able to accept the fact that he had transmigrated due to his own physical condition, he could have barely accepted it.

But now, he was being so rudely "forced to buy and sell." Especially when he sensed that slightly threatening divine consciousness, a wave of disgust washed over him.

Feeling the power emanating from the summoning circle, clearly imbued with Gaia's consciousness, Yu Bai decided not to show any mercy whatsoever.

As the God of the Moon, Enkidu, and a transmigrator of three lifetimes, Yu Bai's soul is so powerful that it has reached an unimaginable level. If he doesn't want to, even Gaia, the will of the earth, cannot easily sway his will.

……

In a hotel room in Fuyuki City

With a soft "poof," a bright red streak flashed through the air, breaking the tranquility of the room.

"Sora! Are you alright?!"

Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald's voice was filled with terror and anxiety as he rushed forward and pulled his fiancée, Sora Nazele Sofiali, who was lying on the ground, into a tight embrace.

Sora's red hair fell like flames, highlighting her face, which was contorted with pain, making it particularly striking.

Kenneth… I… what’s going on! I was just a servant of Heroic Spirits, why am I… *pfft!*

The red-haired woman lying in Kenneth's arms struggled to lift her head. Sora stared uncontrollably at the summoning circle that was flashing with strange light. Before she could finish speaking, another mouthful of blood uncontrollably spilled from the corner of her mouth, staining her clothes red.

Sora Nazelle Sofiari is Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald's fiancée. Ever since she learned that her fiancé had been ordered to come to Fuyuki City to participate in the Holy Grail War, she asked him to come with her.

As a daughter of the Sofia family, she had always been filled with resistance and dissatisfaction towards this marriage that was based on family interests.

Deep down, she both loathed her fiancé, whom she had been forced to meet through a family marriage, and secretly envied Kenneth's outstanding magical talent.

Therefore, after arriving in Fuyuki City, she unexpectedly made a request—that she could become a servant of Heroic Spirits.

In her plan, having her act as the Summoner is equivalent to giving the summoned Servants a hidden Master identity. This not only better conceals the fact that Kenneth is the true Master, but also subtly increases their chances of winning in the Holy Grail War.

Of course, what she really felt was jealousy that Kenneth was able to become the Master of the Holy Grail War.

Kenneth was both surprised and hesitant by the proposal, but faced with Sora's rare pleading gaze, he finally chose to compromise and used magic to transfer the magic supply chain that he had originally been responsible for to Sora.

"Quick! Kenneth, cut off my magic supply!"

Sora's voice had become weak and urgent, her eyes filled with pleading and despair. The summoning circle was frantically draining her magic power, and if it wasn't stopped soon, Sora believed she would soon be sucked dry into a dried-up corpse.

……

Yu Bai: He was transported to another world without any unexpected events, but he was forcibly summoned, and most importantly, he was threatened.

Sora: *Pfft!* (Spits out a mouthful of blood) *Pfft!* (Spits out another mouthful of blood)
