Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

"I understand."

Then the five of them flapped their wings and flew towards Arne.

ALO: Chapter 136: Team Yawata Assembles

"Sister~!"

"Komachi!"

The five people who arrived at Arne were greeted by Yukino and Komachi. Komachi happily ran towards Asuna and acted coquettishly.

Hachiman, who saw this scene, seemed to have a sense of crisis and asked Komachi tremblingly.

"H-Hey Komachi...Does Komachi like her brother or sister more?"

"Aha?"

After Komachi answered with a look of disgust, Hachiman almost cried, but the next second Komachi suddenly approached Hachiman with a bright smile, and Hachiman was moved and opened his arms to hug her.

But Komachi nimbly avoided it and said to Hachiman:

"Is that even a question? Of course it's my sister, trash brother."

"Pfft"

After hearing this, Hachiman collapsed to the ground. Perhaps because she felt that he was too pitiful, Komachi added:

"The way you ask it is wrong. If you hadn't asked who you like more, but asked, 'You like both, right?', I would have answered yes."

Hearing this, Hachiman perked up a bit and asked Komachi again.

"I-I see. So, Komachi, you like both brother and sister, right?"

"Hmm~ Although there's a big difference, I like them both, brother!"

"I-I see. Anyway, as long as I like you, that's all. Komachi, brother loves you very much too!"

"Well, Komachi isn't that fond of Onii-chan, but thanks anyway, Onii-chan!"

Komachi ran back to Asuna as if to say the conversation was over, but seeing Hachiman's satisfied look, maybe this wasn't so bad.

Watching the interaction between the two, Yukino 1 made Kikinji ⑦ Shimai ⑹ playful for a rare time, and suddenly asked Komachi:

"By the way, Miss Komachi, who do you like more, me or Hachiman-kun?"

"Ms. Yukino!"

"Where are Yuigahama and Hachiman-kun?"

"Yuigahama-senpai!"

"Where are Iroha and Hachiman-kun?"

"Iroha-senpai!"

"Hello, hey Komachi..."

"I understand completely. Thank you, Ms. Komachi."

“Yes~!”

Yukino smiled sweetly and stepped back contentedly. Hachiman became visibly depressed, and Kirito and Liz patted his shoulders as if to comfort him.

"You guys..."

Hachiman looked at the two of them with eyes that seemed to indicate he had been rescued, but all he saw were faces that were trying to suppress their laughter. He immediately screamed, "Even you are like this, ahh ...

"Hachiman-kun, please be quiet. Since this is the truth, we can only accept it."

"Ugh... Yukino..."

"Okay, let's start by introducing ourselves. I'm Yukino, Asuna-san, Liz-san, nice to meet you."

"I'm Komachi! Miss Liz, nice to meet you!"

"I'm Asuna, please guide me."

"I'm Liz, a blacksmith by profession. Please take care of me!"

Komachi stared at Lisbeth's appearance with an interested expression. It seemed that she rarely saw the leprechaun race.

"Ms. Liz is a leprechaun."

"Well, I looked through the class manual and saw that I was good at things like blacksmithing, so I thought, 'This is it!'"

"I see. Next time, let's go collect materials together."

"Okay!"

Komachi and Liz immediately hit it off, and Hachiman, holding onto a glimmer of hope, asked again:

"Komachi...I think it's impossible...Who do you like more, me or Liz?"

"Miss Liz!"

"What did you say......"

Hachiman collapsed again. Sorel grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him away while saying to Yukino:

"Yukino-chan, take us to our temporary base."

"Okay, let's go."

Everyone followed Yukino and started moving, and Hachiman was dragged along by Sorel.

Asuna, who saw this, approached Komachi and asked quietly:

"Komachi actually likes Hachiman-kun, right?"

"Of course! But if I say that to her face, my brother won't work so hard to win Komachi's favor, so I won't tell him easily!"

"I see. Sorel-nee also said something similar."

“This is the secret to family harmony!”

"That's right."

Yukino led everyone to a small, single-family house on the outskirts of town, which was spacious enough to serve as a temporary base.

"We'll have to wait until Hachiman-kun establishes the guild before we can find a formal base."

"It's more than enough as a temporary base."

"Hurry up and think of a name for the guild."

"Oh, oh... I'll try my best."

Everyone went into the house and settled down.

"Everyone will be here in about two hours. What should we do during this time?"

"Who will be here today?"

"You are scheduled to join Hachiman-kun's guild, Kirito-kun."

"I see. These are the companions I'll be adventuring with from now on."

"Although it is usually difficult for all members to be present, we specially coordinated the time today."

"So to say......"

Hachiman stared at the group, chatting with each other. The group was scattered in the forest. The group was sitting on the mountain and looking at Sorel.

"Ah! Hachiman-kun is staring at me with the eyes of a wild beast! Help me, Asuna-chan!"

"Hachiman-kun..."

"Ah, alright, alright. I just wanted to ask if Ms. Sorel is also a member."

"Eh? Of course, but I don't have the time to participate. Thanks to Hachiman-kun, I've become super busy."

"Ah... um... I'm sorry, Ms. Sorel."

"Hachiman-kun has fallen into his sister's rhythm again."

"woo"

"But it's definitely getting busy, and I have to work hard for a while."

"Don't worry, Hachiman-kun. My sister looks very happy now."

"Yes, after all, there are so many lovely sisters."

Sorel said as she hugged Asuna again, and Hachiman noticed Yukino's eyebrow twitching slightly.

(Does Yukino really have any feelings for Asuna?

It's hard for me to say anything from my perspective, but I have to find a way to deal with it.)

"I've strayed off topic. The members coming today are Klein, Agil, Silica, Leafa, Raegen, Yuigahama, Iroha, and Mebius.

There is also a person I don’t know named Yue Yi③ Shi Long Qi②②④ 覇/④$Argo”

The three were very surprised to hear this unexpected name.

"Ms. Argo!?"

"Argo will come?"

"I see, Argo also..."

"But Argo-chan is busy with work and probably won't be able to come often."

“It’s enough to meet each other occasionally.”

"Yeah... so that makes a total of... sixteen people?"

"It may increase in the future, up to about twenty people at most."

"It's quite a big deal, come on, Hachiman."

"oh oh......"

Incidentally, Hachiman's guild will eventually be much larger than twenty members.

Later, the other members arrived one after another. Klein, Agil, and Silica were delighted to reunite with Liz and report on their recent situation to each other.

Mebius was listening to stories from the SAO era next to Hachiman.

Leafa was asking Kirito about Lisbeth, trying to build a good relationship with her as soon as possible.

There was a knock on the door and two players walked in.

"Sorry for the long wait~"

"Oh my! We're finally here!"

"Yuigahama, Iroha, you're too slow."

"Sorry, I just went to the Water Fairy Capital."

"What are you doing there?"

"Pick someone up, Yumiko, this way, this way"

"Yumiko?"

"Here it is, Senior."

"senior?"
