How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Asuna: My father has hinted to my brother many times to keep up the good work, but unfortunately, my brother hasn't paid any attention.

I recalled the look my father gave my brother during dinner.

And when the older brother and Miss Fox were talking at length about various games, the father, Shozo Yuuki, gave him a look of utter disappointment, as if to say, "How could I have given birth to such a son?"

Asuna wanted to laugh.

Newbie here to fill in: I have to say, the game your brother mentioned sounds pretty interesting, it's a pity I've never played it.

Moon Bug: You stupid fox, wake up! A few games and you're bought off?!

Silver-haired Saigao: The game over there, is it virtual reality?

Leafa: No… SAO is the first fully virtual reality game.

Ichigo Kurosaki: Virtual reality games, huh? That sounds amazing!

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: I've been dreaming of playing with it.

Asuna: Is the game really that appealing...?

Because of her brief SAO experience, Asuna has become somewhat resistant to virtual reality games.

After all, it had only just begun when she was pulled out.

Instead of experiencing the fun of virtual reality, Asuna felt a bit scared after drifting from the original world line.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: It's alright, it's only novel at first. After playing for a while, it'll probably just get the same.

Newbie just trying to fill a spot: Besides, most game companies in Japan are really bad at making MMOs.

Leafa: Really?

Silver Hair is the Best: It's an MMO game, I've never played it.

Mourning: It seems like there aren't many MMOs from Japan that are quite famous.

Ordinary high school student: Isn't SAO pretty good?

For newbies who've paid for this: SAO is less of an MMO and more of a fantasy world created by Kayaba Akihiko.

Cecilia (flower): Asuna's side can't be used as a reference, and the impression of the fox was mainly formed before the transmigration, so it doesn't apply to other worlds.

Bright red baby cat: I don't know, and I dare not say.

Asuna: What was the island nation like before Miss Fox traveled through time?

Weird, hellish, idiot, anti-intellectual, radiation...

A series of labels flashed through her mind, and Miss Fox fell silent.

A newbie just filling in the numbers: The great nation of anime and manga...?

Asuna: ...

True Lord of Thunder in My Heart: Picked the most normal one, haha.

Silver-haired Saiga: This is terrible!?

Newbie just kidding: I just don't pay much attention to Japan, and before I transmigrated, they did a lot of shady things, so the internet was full of negative stuff.

Paid newbie: That's true...

Bright red baby cat: Still free during the pandemic...

Bright Red Baby Cat: Ah, I see. This silly fox must have gotten this impression from a certain pink-themed anime series.

Silver-haired is the best: Pink software?

Cecilia (flower): Our generation's impression of island nations is indeed mostly based on anime, and the elements of MMOs in those anime...

Newbies who were just there to fill a spot: (shrugs) Every single one of them, even in isekai (another world) genres, they look down on healers, supports, and tanks. Newbies who were just there to fill a spot: It makes you wonder if they've ever played an MMO.

Moon Bug: An isekai (another world) story in Japanese light novels. While it's called an isekai, it seems to follow the typical online game tropes—leveling up and fighting monsters.

Silver-haired Supreme: Yeah, that's true. It's supposed to be another world, but somehow we can level up by fighting monsters.

Sorrowful Death: It's okay, 486, you can't level up by fighting monsters on your end. /laughs

Noelle: You have to train your abilities yourself (laughs)

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: But you don't have the time (laughs)

Silver-haired Saiga: No, I was wrong, a fantasy world where you fight monsters and level up is more suitable for me!!

Asuna: Is 486 also a character in the novel?

Silver Hair is the Best: Yes, it's not just me, there are quite a few people in the group who are characters from various works.

Herbalist: Support class... Hmm, definitely worth paying attention to.

Sorrowful Passing: Speaking of which, do we have any support characters in our group?

Moon Bug: Me! (Raises hand)

Newbie just trying to fill a spot: Can 34C be considered a support? (Slightly annoyed)

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps Over Jade: That's all.

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: There's a big difference between toxic milk powder and traditional MMOs. Aside from healers, none of them really qualify as support/spectators.

Heart-Mind Thunder Lord: Where can I find a healer that can boost the main DPS's output by more than ten times? (Slightly annoyed)

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: It's unique because other games don't have it (half annoyed)

If she had received a healer while fighting that giant lizard, she wouldn't have had such a hard time.

A blessing of honor/blessing of courage can instantly boost your combat power tenfold!

If it's a large bust!

Asuna: Are support classes really this strong?

Noelle: No, no, no, ordinary supports aren't that strong.

Silver Hair Supreme: Are there any support characters in SAO?

Bright Red Baby Cat: Never seen it, don't know

Noelle: I think so, Silica?

Newbie here: Speaking of Asuna, Kirito's voice actor said he prefers Silica.

Asuna: ...

Leafa: ...

Silver Hair is the Best: It's nothing, it's just what the voice actor said, it has nothing to do with the character.

Asuna: No, that's not what I care about.

Before she even started interacting with Kirito, the timeline had already shifted, so she was more curious about him than anything else, and wouldn't consider him her lover just because of the original story.

Asuna: I remember Miss Fox saying that Kirito was described as living in a game, right?

Asuna: ...

Asuna raised her hand, realizing she seemed to have no reason to continue.

Because she is not Asuna from the original work.

Furthermore, it was discovered that if Kirito had no one to rely on, he might actually end up with Alice.

Although the world line may drift, that event may not necessarily occur.

Newbie commenter: Speaking of which, without the experience of SAO, without a lover or someone to rely on, Kirito might actually end up with the same fate as Kayaba Akihiko.

Newbies who are just there to fill a quota: Becoming ghosts on the internet

Leafa: ...

Silver Hair is the Best: That sounds terrible

Sadness: But it's precisely because of his SAO experience that Kirito seems like someone who truly lives in a game. /Tea

A seventeen-year-old girl: Humans are incredibly adaptable!

Dear older brother: After living in the world of games for a long time, from the initial feelings of helplessness and panic to gradually adapting and becoming proficient, many people will hesitate when told to leave the game.

Asuna: Because she's out of touch with reality, she's lost the courage to return to it...

Ordinary high school student: Miss Fox

Newbie (just filling a spot): OK, OK, I know what you're thinking, Mr. Kamijou. Tomorrow, Mr. Kamijou, get all clean and ready for me!

Chapter 708 The World Line Drifted Back Again

Close your eyes.

Every single thing the blonde elf lady did, and the events of this afternoon, kept replaying in my mind.

In many places, things were done too hastily, which made the elf girl seem a little embarrassed.

And the eldest son…

He actually talked at length about games with the elf lady; he really didn't inherit any of his and his wife's shrewdness. He was so stupid.

Open your eyes.

In the darkness, the outline of a floral crown emerged from the ceiling.

During dinner, Yuuki Shozo kept noticing that the elf lady seemed to be chatting with the flower crown on her head from time to time.

Moreover, the flowers in her hair remained vibrant and showed no signs of wilting...

Shaking his head, he thought, the events of this afternoon were too shocking. The mere fact that another world actually existed had already filled his mind, mixed with childhood fantasies that surfaced, making Yuuki Shozo find it somewhat amusing.

Surprisingly, he hasn't forgotten those shameful memories yet.

Just as he was thinking of settling down and going to sleep, he noticed that his wife was still staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you still thinking about Miss Elf?"

Does his wife also have fantasies about another world?

Kyoko Yuuki also shook her head gently, "When my daughter first woke up... the fairy mistress joked with her that she had given birth to Kirito's child."

At the time, Shozo Yuuki didn't pay attention, but Kyoko Yuuki startled Asuna, and then that reproachful yet curious look in her eyes was firmly etched in her mind.

Asuna spent almost the entire afternoon with the elf lady and didn't get a chance to ask her anything.

This bothered Kyoko Yuuki.

"That Kirito, it seems to be a boy's name."

“Kirito…” Yuuki Shozo understood what the lady meant.

Since the fairy lady brought it up to tease her daughter, it must mean that her daughter has feelings for that Kirito.

Originally, he also wanted to play matchmaker for his daughter and his subordinate's son.

It has now been discovered that the daughter seems to have already chosen someone.

"Someone I met in SAO...?"

We need to investigate first to find out what kind of person Kirito is.

He could get his daughter's sidelong glance.

With the connection to the elf lady, her character shouldn't be too bad; the key is her talent.

However, it doesn't matter if they lack talent. As long as they're not particularly bad, it doesn't matter. The Yuki family's assets can be easily built up. With the eldest son around, there's no need for a son-in-law to do anything for the Yuki family...

……

Midori, Academy City, a dessert shop frequented by the young ladies of Tokiwadai.

"So, you really are a sprite with a hole in your head!"

Misaka Mikoto, who was already a bit sleepy, was woken up early by Kuroko under the control of Shokuhou Misaki. After learning that the administrator of the chat room in her head was Ms. Fox, her morning grumpiness immediately flared up.

With his hands on the table, he stared intently at Miss Fox—the spiky-haired girl whose arm was being held by Misaki Shokuhou!

A flash of electricity struck his forehead!

"Huh?" Mr. Kamijou was puzzled. Why was this girl who was flirting talking to Miss Fox while glaring at him?

"Kamijo-san, open your mouth, ah~"
