Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

"Well, I'll wash first."

Asuna was about to head to the bathroom when she suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"Do you know the consequences if you peek?"

"I don't have the courage."

"That's good"

Asuna finally went into the bathroom, and Hachiman, left alone, finally had time to think calmly. About Kayaba, the Death Game, Asuna, and the people he might never see again.

(Anyway, my goal is to clear the game. The problem now is Asuna.

She does have potential, but in this life-or-death situation, it is best to maintain a safety margin and protect herself as a mid-level player.

First, we need to break through the first level and let her learn physical skills, which will improve her overall strength)

At this time-

“Haa ...

A sudden shout came from the bathroom, and Hachiman froze instantly.

(I was so scared... But I just need to relax. That's the most important thing right now.)

When Hachiman felt relieved, there was a sudden knock on the door. He walked to the door and asked:

"Argo?"

"Xiao Ba, what's with that message? I can't understand it at all! That's sexual harassment. I'm going to sue you."

"No, no, you came here carefully, didn't you? And I'm really sorry."

"Well, I'll spare you because you're so pitiful. Can you get in anyway?"

"Ah, open the door now."

When they opened the door, Argo, her face painted, stood there. After leading her to the sofa, Hachiman asked what he was most concerned about:

"How did you get that painting? Wasn't it done right after the incident?"

"Xiao Ba is so rude, this is a girl's secret~"

"That's amazing! Girls' secrets are really amazing."

Argo asked in return:

"Speaking of girls' secrets, what happened to that rapier girl?"

"Hey? What girl?"

"Huh? Weren't you just running with a girl?"

"So how do you know it's a girl?"

"I'm an intelligence agent, I can tell the gender at a glance."

(Not good, need to explain clearly to avoid misunderstanding)

"Ah, that's..."

Hachiman glanced frantically towards the bathroom. Argo, perceptive enough to notice, suddenly rushed over and flung the door open before Hachiman could stop him.

"Good evening, little rapier user...ah!"

Hachiman frantically looked up and saw Asuna standing behind the frozen Argo. Although she wasn't naked, Hachiman still caught sight of some parts of her that shouldn't be seen.

“Aa ...

Argo hurriedly closed the door amidst the screams, and Hachiman said to her:

"I said...Argo"

"What's wrong, Hachi?"

"Thank...thank you?"

"...Xiao Ba"

A few minutes later, Asuna, her face flushed, emerged from the bathroom. Hachiman and Argo sat up straight without waiting for instructions.

"First, Hachiman-kun"

"Ah, yes!"

(This conversation has happened for the umpteenth time... As expected, Garbage-kun is Garbage-kun, Komachi...)

"Did you see anything?"

"Thank...thank you?"

Asuna's face flushed instantly, and she glared at him with a terrifying look.

"terribly sorry......"

"Just forget everything you just saw, okay?"

"Yes......"

Asuna closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then turned to Argo and introduced herself:

"Nice to meet you, I'm Asuna."

"I'm the intelligence dealer Argo. Please give me your guidance in the future, Xiaoya."

Asuna asked in confusion:

"Xiaoya?"

"Asuna is Xiaoya, and Hachiman is Xiaohachi by the way."

"I-I see. Then why are you here?"

"Ah, I contacted her when I escaped. Now we need information."

"I see"

Asuna nodded in conviction at Hachiman's answer.

"What's going on outside now?"

"This information is worth 100 kol. I'll give it to you for free today. The situation is very bad right now. There's chaos outside and many people have died. I estimate this chaos will last for about a week."

Hearing someone die, Hachiman whispered sadly:

"As expected... But why did Mr. Kayaba..."

"Mr. Kayaba? Kayaba Akihiko? Hachi knows Kayaba Akihiko?"

Argo keenly grasped the key words, and Hachiman secretly exclaimed, "Oh no!" but continued calmly on the surface.

"Ah, you mentioned that part-time job before the internal test, right? We knew each other back then, and we were pretty familiar with each other, but I didn't expect him to do something like this... But there were definitely some signs."

"sign?"

"Well, Mr. Kayaba is pursuing the truth just like me. He once said that he wanted to gain the true..."

Suddenly Asuna stood up excitedly:

"I don't understand! What is the truth? Is this what makes us suffer like this?"

"Calm down, we just had this kind of conversation, I'm not really sure."

Asuna sat down unwillingly.

"Well, now that things have come to this, there's nothing we can do. What are you going to do next?"

"I want to pass the level, but my life is at stake, so I won't do anything rash."

Argo narrowed his eyes and said:

"Really? The Xiaoba who was running wildly with Xiaoya just now doesn't seem like that kind of person, okay?"

"Well, that's... I thought it was a boy, and my sister taught me to be responsible..."

"What a good sister!"

"Well, my sister Komachi is the cutest and best sister in the world!"

"Sister control!?"

Asuna, who had been silent all this time, suddenly complained.

"Of course! We are Chiba siblings!"

"Chiba...Is that so?"

Argola returned to the point:

"So what is Xiaoya going to do?"

"I... want to think about it again."

"That's right, it's really too fast for newcomer Xiaoya to encounter such a development."

Hachiman nodded and said comfortingly:

"No matter what, I will support you. This is also the philosophy of our club."

"What club?"

"Service Department"

"The service department? Is that the erotic kind?"

"Not at all! To borrow the minister's words, our philosophy is not to give fish to the hungry, but to teach people to fish."

The two suddenly realized:

"I see. It's a better club than I thought."

“Yeah, that’s amazing.”

"Thank you, thank you... I'm a little happy."

Hachiman felt his cheeks heat up.

"Then keep exchanging information and disband first."

"I'm going back now. Xiao Ba, please don't attack Xiao Ya while I'm away."

"There's a sexual harassment code. A solo player like me could go to jail just for watching... Since you're a girl, why don't you just stay here? It's dangerous outside."

"Xiao Ba now doesn't look like a solo player at all, and I've already found a hotel. Bye~"

"Is that so? Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Miss Argo"

After the three of them said their goodbyes, Asuna and Argo completed their friend registration.

"Hachiman-kun, let's add each other as friends so we can keep in touch later."

Hearing the word "friend", Hachiman's heart was shaken, but he convinced himself that this was a necessary procedure, took a deep breath and accepted the request.

"Please give me your guidance, Miss Asuna."

"Well, please give me your guidance, Hachiman-kun."

After greeting each other again, Hachiman suddenly said:

"Then I'll find a hotel and contact you tomorrow."

"Hey? Isn't it nice to live here?"

Hachiman's common sense response:

"Isn't this not good?"

"Hmph~ Are you thinking of something weird? It's not like there's a sexual harassment code."

"That's true, but adolescent boys and girls are in the same room..."

"Just use a screen to separate them. It's a little embarrassing, but it's okay. And I'd feel bad kicking you out. It's too dangerous out there right now."

Hachiman thought about it for a moment, thought it made sense, and agreed.
