Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

Looking at the empty inventory, he sighed even more heavily than before.

“I always feel a little lonely.”

"Men really all have a collecting habit."

“Kirito, you’re pretty good, just use a normal sword.

My special equipment... doesn't exist in this world, right?"

“I guess there isn’t any, so I can only find a substitute.”

"If the data format is the same, maybe..."

"Stop being stubborn, Hachiman. Just give up."

“Damn…Damn…”

Hachiman's eyes turned red, and Kirito, who was browsing the skill bar, suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, Hachiman, the two-sword skill is gone. What is the dual-wielding setting in this game?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that you can use one-handed weapons with both hands without restriction here."

"That's great."

"what!"

Hachiman suddenly had an idea.

"what happened?"

"So I can dual wield weapons! I can just pick up a dagger in my left hand, though it takes practice."

"Great! Now the problem is solved!"

"Originally, that equipment was a helpless pseudo-dual wielding."

"what!"

This time it was Kirito's turn to exclaim.

"what happened?"

"Hachiman, don't you have a special items folder?"

"Oh right! I kept Yui and Kizmel's gems separately. Where...here! I found Kirito!"

"How's the situation inside?"

Hachiman opened the folder tremblingly.

"This is... Look! There's no gibberish!"

He excitedly showed Kirito the interface.

“Great! Click and try it out!”

"it is good!"

Hachiman clicked on the two gems to store Yui and Kizmel's gems, but Kizmel's gems didn't react at all.

But Yui's gem suddenly burst out with wing-like light and gradually condensed into a human form.

"QiPIIShaanZcage Master镹Ni3IVHey! Is this true?!"

"It's Yui from back then! She succeeded! Thanks to you, Kirito!"

The light faded, revealing the girl who looked exactly like the one in his memory.

"Yui! Yui!"

Hachiman called out repeatedly, and the girl slowly opened her eyes.

"dad?"

"That's right! It's Daddy!"

"father!"

After regaining consciousness, Yui happily threw herself into Hachiman's arms.

"Finally we meet again!"

"It's all Kirito's fault."

"That's great, Hachiman!"

"Uncle Kirito? Ah, uncle is here too."

"Long time no see, Yui."

"Yeah! I always believed we would meet again! By the way, Dad, where is Mom?"

"Yui, Mom seems to be imprisoned somewhere in this world. Can you help Dad save her?"

"How come, I understand!"

"Yui, can you sense Asuna's presence?"

“I can only confirm that it is not nearby”

"Well, tell us everything you know."

"Yes!"

"First of all, do you know where this is? And why didn't Kizmel react?"

"Please wait"

Yui put her hand to her ear and made a detection gesture. After a moment, she began to explain:

"Dad, this seems to be a replica of the SAO server."

“Even the servers are the same?”

"The core program and image format are exactly the same"

"Yui, is it okay for our skills to maintain their SAO-era values?"

“There is no problem at the system level.”

"Will there be no problem with your existence?"

"I'm now classified as a navigation elf. To avoid being noticed by other players, I have to become like this."

"okay."

Yui transformed into a ten-centimeter-tall fairy form.

"Wow, so cute."

Hachiman poked gently, causing Yui to wiggle in itchiness, eventually dancing around him happily as Kirito watched with interest.

After playing around for a while, Yui remembered her business and fell back onto Hachiman's shoulder.

"Sorry Dad, I was just mid-sentence."

"Go on and tell me what you know."

"Regarding Kizmel AI, it is currently dormant due to a lack of an adaptive carrier. It should be able to awaken in the future if an adaptive carrier is available."

"I see... Kizmel, please wait a little longer."

Hachiman carefully put the gem back into the folder.

ALO : Chapter 95 Mistake

"By the way, Yui, there's something I want to ask you."

"Okay Dad, what's up?"

"Normally, when you open a new game account, you start from the capital of your race, right? But Kirito and I are starting from quite high up this time. What do you think?"

"Well, where were Dad and Uncle Kirito during their final moments in SAO?"

"The final moments...Ah!"

"I see, that is to say."

"What's wrong?"

"Yui, your question gave me a rough idea. We were in the boss room on the 75th floor."

"I see, that must be the reason. The boss room is high up in the sky, so those coordinates should be directly above it when converted in ALO."

The two of them listened to Yui's words and looked up at the sky at the same time.

"Hey, Tongyue/Yi - the first person to post it, I thought of something interesting."

"Got it. We absolutely can't let Agil and Klein know, right?"

The two looked at each other and smiled exaggeratedly like actors at the same time.

"You are not a good person either, hahaha"

"No, no, I'm not as good as you, sir, hehehe."

"Dad, Uncle Kirito, what are you doing?"

"Yui, this is what's called a traditional performing art."

"I see, a traditional art?! I'll remember this, Dad!"

"By the way, even though we've solved the puzzle that started in the air, what should we do next?"

Kirito asked Kazuto, who fell into deep thought.

"The original plan was to practice skills near the capital of the Cat Demon Clan and wait for the team that Miss Yang Noi knew."

"But there's no need to practice skills now, right?"

"First of all, you don't even know where this place is, Yui?"

"Please wait a moment. Um... this is... I see. This is near the border between the Wind Elf Territory and the Fire Elf Territory."

"real or fake..."

Hearing this, Kirito made an anxious sound.

"Any questions?"

"Yes. There's the World Tree between here and the meeting place, so it's directly across from us."

"Wow, this is troublesome."

"This is indeed unusual. I should log out and listen to Ms. Yang No's instructions."

"Yes, that's more appropriate. How about logging out now?"

"No, Kirito."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"In ALO, if you log out in a neutral zone like this, your character will remain there for a long time, and if attacked, they will definitely die. Therefore, if you need to rest in situations like this, you should adopt a shift system, with those who log out alternately and those who stay behind to protect their companions."

“So there’s this kind of system…”

"So, while we can log out individually, if we both need to leave eventually, it's better to take a little time and move together to a nearby neutral city or safe area. Yui, is there such a place around here?"

"There's a safe area about fifteen minutes east of here, Dad."

Yui said, pointing towards the east.

"The fire spirits are leading the way to the east. Forget it, there's nothing we can do. Let's go that way first."

"learn."

"Then let's go!"

The two practiced flying as they advanced. Thanks to this, by the time they reached a safe area, they were already able to fly quite smoothly, and it seemed that both of them were very talented in this area.

"Okay, then log out first."

"Yeah. See you later, Yui."

"Ok!"
