Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

“That’s too much…”

"But there is only one person living in his heart, and I...Liz..."

Kirito suddenly revealed a complex expression that was a mixture of sadness, loneliness, and determination.

(This is the first time I’ve seen my brother’s expression like this… Could it be that he already has someone in his heart…)

Zhiye felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

"Brother, I'm going back first."

"Oh, say hello to Mom and Dad for me."

When he was escaping from the ward, he ran into Yang Nai in the corridor.

"ah!"

"Sorry! Why are you here, Miss Yangno?"

"Come and see Hachiman~ Suguha-chan doesn't look well."

At this time, Kazuto came out and suggested, "Why don't you introduce Suguha to the friend next door?"

Yang Nai opened the door of the next room without waiting to knock——

What came into view was Yui pushing Hachiman onto the hospital bed. Suguha, blushing, yelled "Excuse me!" and ran away, leaving Kazuto standing there in a daze while Haruno snickered, enjoying the scene.

"Let's introduce them next time," Kirito said with a wry smile, deciding to find Hachiman to find out what happened.

ALO: Chapter 97: Yukino-chan's comeback

After separating from Kirito, Hachiman, who was sleeping soundly in the room, suddenly felt consciousness regained.

Hachiman closed his eyes and felt the surrounding atmosphere.

It seemed like someone came to visit the patient. Hachiman, knowing this, decided to listen to their conversation first since he didn't sense any danger.

"Senior, are you asleep?"

"My brother seems to be sleeping soundly. Do you want to wake him up?"

(Actually, I'm already awake.)

"You can wake him up anytime, so why not think about what you can do while he's asleep?"

(Hey, Yukino, what do you mean by "what can I do"? Don't take this topic in a weird direction.)

"The classic trick at this time is to doodle on the plaster cast, right?"

(It’s a classic scene, but don’t write directly on your legs with a fountain pen, Yuigahama.)

"It's still not in good condition now. How about breaking this plaster?"

"No, no! What terrible things are you discussing?"

Hachiman finally couldn't sit idly by anymore and jumped up in panic.

"Oh, you're really just pretending to sleep, Hachiman-kun."

"Oh, were you discovered? That was intentional."

"That's only natural. Even I wouldn't break my leg just to doodle on a cast, though I certainly dreamed of it... Everyone, break it."

"Hey idiot, stop it, Komachi, hold Yukino down!"

"Brother, although Komachi likes you the most, she also likes Yukino-nee the most. So you can't favor either side. Give up."

"Damn it... Yuigahama, you're on my side, right?"

Facing Hachiman's question, Yui looked away and replied:

"Well... I actually kind of long for something like this..."

"Isshiki! Use your authority as the student council president to stop them!"

"I don't know the senior who always calls me by my last name! By the way, I'm no longer the student council president, okay? I didn't even receive a promotion gift!"

Iroha puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away angrily.

"what..."

When Hachiman heard this, he immediately did a standard dogeza pose.

“I’m sorry, Isshiki, no, Iroha, I completely forgot about your further studies.

I will definitely host a celebration after this incident is over, so please spare me."

Seeing Hachiman's attitude, Iroha became panicked.

"Senior, I lied to you! I know the situation is special now!"

"but..."

"It's okay! I'm happy that you've given me this thoughtful gesture! We can think about celebrating after we calm down. Please hold your head up!"

"Leave it to me. It will definitely be a grand celebration."

"Okay, I'll wait without any expectations, Senior!"

Hachiman stood up and sat back on the bed, and said to the four people again:

"Anyway, everyone is here to visit the patient, thank you.

But it's been a long time since four of us came together to visit a patient, hasn't it?"

"Ah, um."

"that..."

"Hmm? Anything special?"

"Sister Yukino"

Komachi called out to Yukino for help, and Yui and Iroha showed the same expression.

"Yeah, let's get this straight here, Hachiman-kun, I actually have something I want to ask you."

"Oh, what?"

"Actually, the topic we talked about when the four of us got together yesterday was very interesting, so we decided to ask him directly."

"Oh, oh, I see."

"What I want to ask is Hachiman-kun's fighting style in SAO."

"My fighting style?"

Hachiman was surprised by the question.

"Yes, if you feel troubled, you don't have to answer. Can you tell us if it's convenient for you?"

"It doesn't matter, but I'm surprised you're interested in this."

"Purely out of curiosity, yes, curiosity."

“I’m curious…never mind, it’s my fighting style.

In simple terms, it means first parrying and then attacking the defenseless enemy's neck, or seeing through the enemy's attack and instantly decapitating it while defeating the attack."

"Anyway, it's going to be beheaded."

"Parrying aside, I have no idea how to see through an attack."

"Then let's demonstrate it, Yuigahama. Can you pretend to attack me? Imagine holding a weapon."

"Can I come?"

"Um"

(I'm a little concerned, but I think this should make sense.)

"Yeah, I get it! Let's try it!"

Yui struck a pose, and that posture was quite impressive.

“Okay, we can start anytime.”

“It’s about to happen…ah”

Yui was about to swing her right hand to attack,

Hachiman held her right shoulder, causing her to stagger back slightly.

At the same time, Hachiman's knife hand was already against Yui's neck.

"It's true that reality can't be as fast as in the game. This is the limit now."

"It's a lie..."

"Senior, what just happened is..."

"It's a little hard to believe. It's like seeing my sister."

"Hey, how strong is Miss Yang No?"

"Didn't I tell you? My sister is an Aikido Menkyo Kaiden."

"real or fake"

"Well, I'm so unwilling... Hey!"

"Wait, Yuigahama, stop messing around, wow."

"Oh, the bell is ringing!"

Yui suddenly attacked in defiance.

Hachiman barely managed to catch the attack, but fell backward onto the bed due to the impact.

When Yui got into a position to hold down Hachiman, the door of the ward was suddenly opened.

"Ms. Yang No, knock on the door first!"

“Eh~?”

"what......"

Standing at the door were Haruno, Kirito, and a strange girl.

The strange girl blushed and said, "San Four Spirits - Abandoned ⑵ Two = Siba IV:

"excuse me!"

After saying that, he ran away, and Yang No looked over here with a wicked smile.

Kirito froze at first, then rushed out the door as soon as he came to his senses.

After looking outside for a while, he gave up and returned to the ward, muttering quietly:

"Oh my, let's do the introductions some other time."

Kirito blushed and turned to Hachiman and asked:

"So what's going on?"

"Until then, Yuigahama, this posture is awkward. Could you please get up first?"

"Oh, sorry."

Yui blushed and hurriedly moved away from Hachiman.

"call"

(That was a close call. The destructive power is truly astonishing.)

After Hachiman's eyes quickly swept over a certain part of Yui, he turned to Haruno and Kirito and began to explain the situation.

"...That's it."

"I see"

"Who was that girl just now?"

"T-That's my sister Suguha. I wanted to introduce her to Hachiman."

“I think I mentioned it before.”
