Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

The absurdity of the words made Asuna forget her disguise and reveal her true reaction.

"That's a really hurtful reaction. As I said, I'm going to marry you while you're still sleeping. Incidentally, I've already got the president's approval."

(It seems my father has given up on me, but the furious Hachiman-kun wouldn't allow that so easily. And that expression just now...)

Asuna decisively denied it.

"Liar"

"Why do you say that?"

"You looked so hateful when you mentioned Hachiman-kun just now. You wouldn't have that expression if the marriage went smoothly."

"Tsk, that's really unpleasant."

“I took it as a compliment.”

"What an unlovable woman. That guy did something, and although the president initially agreed, he immediately canceled the engagement.

But it's just a matter of time. After all, when and in what state you wake up depends entirely on my will."

"Will things go so smoothly?"

"If everything goes well, I will be the heir of the Yuki family, and then I won't have to worry about the matter being exposed.

Even if I fail, my research is essentially complete. I can sell the results to other companies at a high price and then I can go far away. What do you think? A perfect plan, right? You guys are truly excellent research material.

Asuna understood from these words that the other party had no sincerity towards her.

“It turns out I’m just a gift.”

"Yes, you are nothing more than a beautiful toy to me. But now that I have you, I will naturally enjoy you."

Sugo licked his lips as he spoke. Asuna, suppressing her disgust, continued to ask:

"What exactly do you want to do? What research have you accomplished with your talents?"

It seems that he is very fond of the word "talent" and Su Xiang started to talk non-stop:

"Have you finally acknowledged my excellence? This is an innovation that surpasses Full Dive technology."

"innovation?"

"This technology shouldn't be wasted on boring games. Its essence is to artificially manipulate thoughts, emotions, and memories by sending excessive virtual signals to the brain."

"This is ridiculous!"

"This is a reality that every country is researching. And I'm number one in the world in terms of completion. Do you know why?"

"..."

"Because it requires a large number of human experiments. But the SAO server management made me think - don't we have ready-made experimental materials right in front of us?"

Asuna tried her best to suppress her anger, and Sugou became even more pleased with herself:

"Kayaba-senpai is indeed brilliant, but he's so stupid! He wasted his talent on creating a game world. As a researcher, he's only third-rate! He can't even reach my heels!"

"You were once Kayaba Akihiko's junior?"

"The system he built is truly ingenious. I can't directly modify the SAO servers, but I can hijack some of the data and bring it to this world. Finally, this long-awaited moment has arrived—all thanks to you and your companions' active performance!"

Asuna whispered unwillingly:

“It’s our credit…”

"Indeed, I should really thank those foolish teenagers. Their rude behavior from a few days ago will be forgiven! Thanks to them, my research on memory manipulation and induction has made great progress. It's simply the realm of God! Hahahaha!"

Hearing the word "memory", Asuna had the worst association.

"Did you...tamper with my memory?"

"Oh, you found out? That's right, no matter how much you resist, it's futile. When you wake up, your current memories will be erased, and only your love for me will remain."

"nausea"

Asuna completely forgot about her disguise.

"I don't want to face you, like a puppet. If you still refuse to obey, I won't mind humiliating you in this world. Lu Yiqi①侕(VIII) Sisi8 Oh? Of course, as a gentleman, I still hope to avoid such a thing."

Asuna suppressed her fear, thinking her father would surely stop her if he found out, so she summoned her last bit of courage and asked:

"Does father know this?"

"How could he possibly know? There must be less than five people who know about this, otherwise it would be very troublesome to divide the spoils."

"You scumbag"

"Sorry, time's up. I hope you'll be more obedient next time we meet, my Titania."

After Sugou left, Asuna collapsed on the bed and hugged herself.

"It's disgusting, but I absolutely cannot give up. I must carefully observe and find every breakthrough point, and I must escape from this world. Hachiman-kun must be trying to save me, too. I will do my best."

Even if the enemy has an absolute advantage in this world, Asuna vows to never give up the fight.

"Come on, Hachiman-kun..."

In order to maintain her courage to fight, Asuna kept calling out Hachiman's name, but at this moment, Hachiman—

"Hey Kirito! What's going on?!"

"Isn't the birthplace the capital of the Wind Elves? Why are we falling from the sky?"

“That’s right.”

Experiencing high-altitude free fall with Kirito.

ALO : Chapter 94 Yui's Awakening

"Hey, Kirito! How do you move these wings?"

"I do not know!"

"Isn't there any routine operation at this time?"

"Try focusing on your back or something like that!"

"Okay, I'll try."

"Why are you still so calm?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just do it quickly."

"Damn it! Move! My wings!"

Perhaps Kirito's shouts reached the heavens, but the two of them slowed down their descent slightly.

"The falling speed seems to have slowed down?"

"That's right! Hachiman, try to strongly imagine the desire to fly. At this time, it doesn't matter what kind of wings you have."

"Got it. Okay, let's fly!"

In an instant, the two people's falling speed slowed down significantly, and they barely stopped in the air.

"Okay, it worked."

“As expected”

"What do you mean?"

"For example, even if a human grew angel wings, they wouldn't actually be able to fly due to their weight, right? Similarly, these tiny wings wouldn't actually allow them to fly."

"Um, so?"

"After all, these wings are just auxiliary tools. The most important thing should be the will to fly. It seems that I guessed right."

"Now that you mention it, it seems the laws of physics don't really matter in games."

"From now on, I just need to master the method of controlling it with my mind and I'll be able to fly freely. Although I have a control device like the Qi'er III Cage-like (Nine) Qi'er III IV, I really don't want to use such a cumbersome thing."

"Yeah, we can only practice. Anyway, let's land slowly first."

"clear"

The two of them descended slowly as if on tiptoe.

After reaching the ground, they sighed in relief and slumped down.

"Ha... I was really scared just now."

“The initial position is actually set in the air, which is not mentioned in the manual.

I've read so many guides, and there's no mention of this at all."

"Anyway, let's first check what we can do. How do we bring up the window for Wife 2 ⑶ Zero (Four) Nine Qi 厁 IV?"

"It seems to be the same as SAO. Although it's in its initial state, it probably doesn't have many functions. Let's first confirm whether it exists."

"yes......"

The two nervously confirmed the existence of the logout button first.

“The logout button is still there”

"Yes, still there."

“To be honest, I was super nervous just now.”

"Hachiman too? Actually, me too."

"I feel relieved now. Next, let's take a look at my current skills."

When they checked the skill values, both of them were stunned.

"Hey"

"what"

"What the hell is this?"

“I don’t understand it at all”

Both of their skills were nearly at max level. After a moment of silence, Kirito suddenly spoke as if remembering something:

"I say, I have an impression of these numbers. What about you?"

"What a coincidence, so am I."

"Is it the same as SAO's final skill stats?"

"Yes, it matches perfectly."

"What do you think?"

"I guess the data format of SAO and ALO is the same, so the data saved by NERvGear was directly overwritten?"

"Look at the amount we have! We were already millionaires from the start."

"HP and MP don't seem to be covered. Maybe the format is different."

After checking their skills, they looked at their inventory.

"What about the items?"

"That's unlikely. What we're wearing now looks like the initial equipment listed in the manual. If it's covered, the appearance should be different."

"have a look"

The two opened the inventory with trepidation. Although they held a glimmer of hope, the reality was as cruel as expected.

Kirito sighed regretfully, and Hachiman beside him also sighed.

"It really doesn't work. Not only are all the initial equipment messed up, but your army was also completely wiped out?"

"That's right, a perfect team wipe."

“Should these be deleted?”

"Yeah, it's troublesome if it's judged as a bug, so I have no choice but to delete it."

"yes"

"I understand how you feel"

The two were reluctant to press the delete key. Although garbled characters were displayed, each piece of equipment carried memories. In the end, they gritted their teeth and pressed the delete key.
