Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

After Yukino finished speaking, her cheeks blushed slightly as she looked at Hachiman. Hachiman, still in a daze, heard Sorel whisper in his ear:

"Hey, Yukino-chan seems really excited right now. If you don't cooperate with her now, she might get upset later, okay?"

"Really? I understand. I'll try my best."

Hachiman twitched his lips and forced a smile at Yukino. He took a deep breath, prepared himself, and walked in front of Yukino, holding his dagger high.

"It's been a long time since we last saw you. We're here to take your life again! Witness the strength of our Legion, even stronger than before. Your short life will end here! Everyone, roar!"

"oh oh!!"

Everyone was galvanized, roaring with excitement. I don't know if it was an illusion, but this time the opponent's eyes seemed to say, "I will never lose again."

"Yui and Mobius will be with me in charge of the boss! Next up are the three followers!

The first one goes to Asuna, Komachi, and Miss Sorel! The second one goes to Leafa, Liz, and Iroha! The first two groups just need to contain it! Komachi and Liz should focus on dodging! Miss Sorel and Iroha use ranged magic to contain it!

Asuna and Leafa, please be careful to get timely treatment! The remaining main forces will be handed over to Kirito's team! We must defeat the followers one by one!

After receiving the instructions, the teams began to gather for a brief discussion.

"We'll start after Team Kirito finishes their discussion. Let me know when you're ready."

The other three smaller groups quickly reached a consensus. Yui, despite having the important responsibility of restraining the boss, seemed unfazed by the sheer energy of the task.

Liz was too nervous because she wanted to show off in front of Leafa, but Iroha's jokes helped lighten the mood. Iroha is indeed good at dealing with people like this.

The problem lies with the three sisters of the Hikigaya family (tentatively named) consisting of Asuna, Komachi, and Sorel. After the discussion, Komachi turned pale and approached Hachiman:

"What should I do, brother? I have absolutely no confidence in controlling those two people."

"You just need to keep the enemy under control... What happened?"

"We did have a meeting...but it only contained one sentence: 'I must defeat the followers before Kirito-kun and the others.'"

Hachiman, who had anticipated this, looked at his anxious sister and suggested:

"Komachi, try telling them, 'I'm really worried I can't do this well, so I'm entrusting Komachi's life to you sisters.' That should make them calm down a little."

(Although it is estimated to converge a little bit)

After Komachi went back and conveyed the message, it really worked. She secretly gave Hachiman an OK sign, and Hachiman nodded in confirmation before asking Kirito's team:

"Have you finished the discussion? What tactics are you planning to use?"

"Our team consists of me, Argo, Lisbeth, Silica, Klein, Agil, Yui, and Yukino. Yui is interested in magic, so she'll handle ranged damage. The rest of us will focus on attacking, and Yukino will heal any injuries. Over!"

"It's really crude, but what Kirito said should be fine."

Hachiman smiled wryly and completely trusted Kirito's tactics. At this moment, Kirito suddenly asked:

"By the way, is it possible that the number of followers has been modified? Asking Argo would be cheating, but I'd like to hear your theory."

"this one"

Hachiman glanced at Argo and said with a wicked smile:

"That's probably impossible. I heard Argo's schedule is so packed with deadlines that he doesn't have time to change things like that."

"Damn it."

Argo, who had been pretending to be indifferent, finally broke down. Kirito patted her shoulder knowingly and retreated to his original position.

"Then we're ready, let's get started!"

Hachiman assumed a battle stance, and the others followed suit. As the group approached the central area, the boss's eyes flashed red. As "Kobold Lord Irfan" began to move, three followers materialized and charged forward.

"Assault! Wipe them out!"

The moment they met the enemy, Hachiman and his companions' first boss battle in Aincrad officially began.

As expected, Kirito's team had the fastest output. Though some were injured, they were all healed instantly by Yukino. Asuna, watching from behind, bit her lip in frustration. Sorel, while strong, was undoubtedly vulnerable to a team with superior numbers in a battle where they had to dodge single-target attacks.

"How can I balance healing and attacking, protecting Komachi while dealing damage at the same time?"

After a long period of deep thought, Asuna suddenly had an idea:

"Adjust the chanting speed and prepare healing magic and attack at any time!"

Determined, Asuna charged into the enemy camp while continuing her magic chant.

"Sister?"

Asuna, unable to respond due to her continued chanting, winked at Komachi and then launched a fierce attack. Seeing this, Sorel smiled and said:

"As expected of my sister, I can't admit defeat."

Asuna's participation in the battle distracted the enemy's attacks on Soleil, allowing the latter to focus on output.

"Looks like I have to work harder too!"

Although Komachi was distracted and hit, she was instantly healed by Asuna's healing magic. Having witnessed the entire process, Komachi was moved by her sister's heroic performance and began to focus on the attack.

Kirito's team relaxed due to their numerical advantage and didn't notice that Asuna's team's output was exploding.

Asuna's team, seizing the opportunity, brought the enemy to the brink of death. Deciding that further healing was unnecessary, Asuna stopped chanting and unleashed a battle cry, delivering the final blow and successfully defeating the minion first.

Only then did the others notice Asuna's abnormal condition:

"Hey... Asuna's roaring and attacking."

"But they were still being treated seriously just now, and no one was injured."

"Almost like a berserker...but she's a healer?"

"Berserker Wet Nurse!? A new class!"

"The Violent Wet Nurse is Born!"

This is the moment when the legendary "violent nurse" Asuna was born.

ALO: Chapter 159: There's nothing you can do if you kill him accidentally

As Asuna shouted, one of the surrounding monsters was defeated.

Then the enemies Kirito's team was responsible for also disappeared with a light effect, leaving only the last one that Leafa's team was dealing with.

It should be noted that Leafa and the others had the advantage throughout. Their health reduction rate was quite good for three people, and normally they should have been able to defeat them easily. However, this time, Asuna's team was simply out of character.

Because of this, when Asuna rushed to Leafa who was fighting hard, Leafa showed a shocked expression.

"Lifa-chan, sorry for the wait!"

"Huh? Where are the enemies you're responsible for?"

"Well, it's solved!"

“Huh, huh, huh, huh?!”

Leafa looked around hurriedly and found that the other enemies had indeed disappeared. The footsteps of Kirito and the others could be heard from behind.

"Regan! Hold on alone for now!"

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Leafa finished speaking to Raegen and asked Asuna with tears in her eyes along with Iroha.

"Could it be that we are clearing monsters too slowly?"

"Are we weak?"

"You two didn't!"

In response to Leafa and Iroha's anxious questions, Asuna immediately denied them, and the members of Kirito's team who had arrived at that moment also expressed their agreement.

"Leafa and the others are obviously normal. Or rather, their skills are quite good!"

"Yes, this Berserker nurse is too abnormal."

"Asuna's level of fury even startled me."

"Hey, Kirito-kun? Liz? What are you talking about?"

Asuna asked with a confused look on her face, but the two of them just nodded vaguely without giving a direct answer.

"Hey? Xi, Xi***?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Asuna-san was amazing just now."

"Mr. Klein?"

"Oh my god, hahahaha, you're worthy of being the big sister Asuna!"

"Mr. Agil?"

"Uh... Compared to Asuna, Kirito seems quite gentle."

"A-Miss Argo?"

"I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything, meow~"

At this time, Reagan was still fighting alone, and the helpless Asuna finally looked to Yui for help.

"Yui, Yui? Was I weird just now? What's going on?"

"I'm used to my sister's usual behavior, so it's okay."

"That's not consolation at all!"

Asuna screamed and turned to ask the two people who were fighting together.

"Komachi!"

"Komachi will always support me! No matter what I do, it's fine!"

"That's not much of a comfort!"

Asuna screamed once more and looked at Sorel expectantly. Sorel nodded and patted her shoulder.

"I didn't expect Asuna-chan to be so fierce. I didn't expect this at all, sister."

"No ah ah ah ah ah!"

Asuna collapsed to the ground on the spot, while Regen was still fighting alone and was obviously beginning to be unable to hold on.

"Li, Leafa-chan, almost..."

"Hold on a little longer, Regen!"

"Good, good."

Everyone ignored Regen, who continued to fight, and took turns comforting Asuna. Eventually, everyone reached a consensus to temporarily ban the term "Berserker Healer" within the team.

But from then on, whenever she participated in a boss battle, Asuna still maintained the same fighting style. As a result, even those who didn't know the truth began to call her that, and Asuna herself gradually got used to this title.

"Li-Lifa-chan, I really can't take it anymore...Ah!"

Regen, who was still fighting alone, gradually fell into a disadvantage. Just when she seized the opportunity to ask Leafa for help, the enemy's attack was already coming.

"Oh no! Ragen!"

At the critical moment, the healing light enveloped Regen.

"Don't worry, I'm always watching."

Yui smiled as she spoke. Even in this chaos, she was still keeping an eye on the battlefield.

"But I wanted to let Raigen-kun experience his extreme state. I might have scared you a little. Sorry."

"No, it's okay! Thank you, Miss Yui!"

Feeling this sense of security, Reagan suddenly realized: (This is what it feels like to trust a therapist)

This was completely different from when he teamed up with Sigurd. He was happy to meet a new companion, and at the same time thought to himself: In such a safe environment, perhaps I could be bolder and show my handsome side to Leafa.

But the next second, a group led by Kirito suddenly rushed into the battlefield, and Reagan, who lost the pressure, immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Ahaha... my efforts are finally..."

At this moment someone patted her shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work, Reagan."

"Leafa-chan!"

Reagan suppressed his joy and pretended to be calm: "Actually, I can still hold on! I'll be back in the team after a rest!"
