Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Regarding Fujimaru Ritsuka’s question, Kayaba Akihiko’s answer was simple——

"intelligence."

"Information? What information?"

"Information about other worlds and information about traveling through the world, I need them for research."

Kayaba Akihiko said calmly.

But at this moment, his body seemed to have lost its balance, and he suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Barely able to steady his body, his originally indifferent expression seemed to have become distorted due to unknown pain. He held his forehead with his right hand, frowned and muttered to himself:

".I know what to do, and that will be after my affairs are over."

After finishing talking to himself inexplicably, his expression gradually recovered, he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, and continued to state in his usual tone:

"After I get everything I want, next, I will end your life."

"."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not swayed by Kayaba Akihiko's speech. After seeing the other party's series of reactions just now, she finally asked:

"Mr. Kayaba, what is it that is possessing you?"

"Have you been seen? But it's not surprising. After all, this is something from your world."

Kayaba Akihiko was not too surprised by this, but his speech made Fujimaru Ritsuka look surprised and couldn't help but ask:

"Something from our world? What is that?"

".You really don't know?"

After confirming that her reaction was not false or disguised, Kayaba Akihiko was also a little surprised and asked:

"This is obviously something arranged by the AI ​​called BB, but you don't know?"

Then, he raised his chin and muttered:

"It's true. In Yui's memory, although you seem to have a close relationship, the hatred and killing intent contained in this thing are so strong, it is not as simple as the trial it said."

"It seems like there are still quite a few mysteries."

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka's face darkened when he heard Kayaba Akihiko say the words 'BB arranged things'.

She didn't doubt Kayaba Akihiko's words at all, because this was indeed something that BB could do.

Especially since she had noticed something was wrong with BB's behavior recently, as if he was making some secret moves, but she didn't expect him to be waiting for her here.

I just don’t know if the current situation is within BB’s plan, or if she is pretending to be a villain and has overturned again.

She personally prefers the latter, which is also BB's traditional performing arts.

The other party doesn't seem to have the talent to be a villain, and every time he is forced to play the role of a villain, he always overturns in various ways.

After all, in a sense, BB is also a member of the Tohsaka family, and is exactly the same as Ishtar, another funny villain in Chaldea.

It's a pity that neither Ishtar nor BB believe in evil, and they are defeated and defeated repeatedly. They are the type who are both good and fun-loving.

However, these speculations were of no help to her current situation. Kayaba Akihiko quickly got out of his thoughts, looked at her again and said:

"Although there are still many questions, I should be able to get a lot of answers after getting your memory."

With that said, he walked towards her.

She subconsciously wanted to retreat, and after noticing her movement, Kayaba Akihiko simply raised his hand slightly to summon the system window, and tapped it a few times, causing her to freeze in place immediately, unable to move.

At the same time, a state called [Confinement] appeared above the health bar in the upper left corner of her vision.

"Administrator rights? Why.?"

"Don't be surprised, all my permissions were indeed taken away by BB. But what I am using now is Yui's administrator permissions."

"By the way, BB, as a pure AI, cannot detect this."

Answering her questions without reservation, Kayaba Akihiko walked up to her, stretched out his left hand and put it on her forehead, while his right hand kept operating the system panel and said:

"Please rest assured, whether it is reading the memory or the subsequent events, I will try my best to do it in a painless way. This is my small compensation."

"Should I say thank you?"

"No, this is just my personal opinion, right?"

Kayaba Akihiko's peaceful attitude was broken again. He looked at the pop-up error reminder in front of him with some surprise. The program to read the memory failed for some unknown reason.

He turned his gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka again, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"After all, you are from another world. Surely it can't be that simple? It seems that you still have some secrets that I haven't discovered yet. This must be the source of your confidence."

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not speak, because in fact, she herself did not know why such a situation occurred.

Maybe when BB was modifying her body, he installed a firewall on her?

'.snort. ’

At this moment, a familiar humming sound suddenly came from her mind, instantly answering her doubts.

‘King of the Cave! ’

'I am here. ’

——

Asuna felt as if she had had a very strange dream.

In the dream, she saw both Fujimaru Ritsuka and herself from the perspective of a bystander.

Then, she saw Fujimaru Ritsuka getting up from bed in the middle of the night unable to sleep and walking in the forest outside the camp. As a result, she was taken away by a strange little girl and brought to SAO game developer Kayaba Akihiko, who said she wanted to extract Her memory will kill her after that.

"You are in a dream, but what you see is reality."

Suddenly, a dark, strange male figure appeared in front of her, and the words he spoke made her feel a little confused.

"Who are you? What do you mean?"

"I am Ritsuka's accomplice. Ritsuka's friend, go call BB and tell her that Ritsuka is in trouble."

After the other party finished speaking, Asuna felt the world in front of her gradually disintegrate. Then, in the tent, she opened her eyes as if awakened by a nightmare, and sat up from the bed suddenly.

"Is it a dream?"

After realizing that it was a dream, she was slightly relieved, but she also felt a little weird.

"How come you have such a strange dream?"

The scene in her dream was still vivid in her mind. She subconsciously looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's bed beside her. The next moment, her pupils shrank -

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was sleeping next to her, disappeared.

It was still late at night outside. She quickly put on her clothes and went outside the tent. After looking around, she still didn't find Ritsuka Fujimaru, but she found Kirito who also walked out of the tent.

"Kirito?"

"Asuna?"

Seeing her figure, Kirito was a little surprised. Then he remembered something and asked her quickly:

"Where is Ritsuka? Is she still sleeping?"

"I don't know, Ritsuka is gone. I haven't seen her since I woke up."

".disappeared?"

Asuna shook her head, and Kirito frowned unconsciously upon hearing this. At this time, she said hesitantly:

"Actually, I just had a strange dream."

She recounted the contents of her dream.

After listening to her story, Kirito's frown deepened, and he said to her solemnly:

"Although it sounds like I'm making it up, I actually had a dream just now."

"And the content of the dream is exactly the same as what you told me."

".Eh?"

The two looked at each other and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
