Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

The two of them stepped inside the barrier, and then Miyu put the gem of the barrier back to its original place.

After confirming that the barrier was working again, he continued to lead the way ahead.

"Let's go. It's right next to the wooden bridge."

Illya looked over and saw a person standing by the wooden bridge.

As Miyu approached the wooden bridge on the shore, Illya could see her appearance clearly.

Her long black hair was combed into neat ponytails on both sides, and her red top and black skirt were simple and capable.

Sapphire spoke first: "Master Rin, we are back."

"Thank you for your hard work. There is no need to explore anymore. The location of the class card has been basically confirmed. Be prepared for the next battle."

The person who spoke did not even turn his head, but just explained what to do next.

Her eyes were fixed on the island at the other end of the wooden bridge, and her expression was serious as if facing a great enemy.

In response, Miyu said: "The battle may have to be postponed. Illya's condition is strange..."

At this time, the girl called 'Rin' also turned around and said, "What do you think happened to Illya?"

"Severe memory loss, and I don't know where the ruby ​​went?"

?

Toosaka Rin treated the words just now as if she had misheard, and then confirmed with Miyu:

"what did you just say?"

"I said that 'Illya' has lost her memory and the ruby ​​is missing."

Miyu recounted the story word for word.

When Toosaka Rin heard this, she quickly looked at 'Illya' behind Miyu.

Not caring at all that the other person's attire was different from before, he grabbed the other person's shoulders and asked:

"Illya, do you still remember who I am?"

"No...don't remember."

There was a slight tremor in his voice, and it was obvious that he was frightened by the other party's reaction.

Toosaka Rin continued to ask unwillingly: "Where did that Ruby guy go?"

She prayed in her heart: Please don’t let anything happen to Ruby!

“…I don’t know about this.”

Hearing this, Toosaka Rin stood there in a daze, her heart finally hanging in the air.

It's not that she doesn't care about Illya's condition.

But when faced with a small matter like amnesia, it can be resolved in minutes by returning to the Clock Tower.

But if the ruby ​​is lost, its properties will be different.

It was a magic costume made by Jewel, and also served as the magical girl's transformation equipment.

While transforming, the wearer can use A-level magic barriers, physical protection, accelerated healing, physical ability enhancement and other regular abilities.

Even though that guy has a bad temper, I can't be responsible if it's really lost.

If I am discovered by that old man, I don’t know what kind of punishment will be waiting for me when I return...

Thinking of this, Toosaka Rin looked up to the sky and screamed: "Ruby, where have you been?!"

The voice just fell.

A mascot that was similar to Sapphire, but red in color, poked out from the other side.

"Rin, are you thinking about me? I didn't expect that an old woman like you still have feelings for me, but no, I am Illya's now!"

Following closely behind, another girl walked into the barrier.

The person who came had the same uniform as Miyu, but also had the exact same appearance as 'Illya' behind Miyu.

Ruby said such despicable words as soon as she appeared, which made "Illya" feel a little sorry for Rin.

So he said, "Ruby, isn't this a bit bad?"

"Illya, do you feel sorry for Rin?" Ruby floated in front of the girl and asked.

Illya nodded at this.

But Ruby didn't mind it at all.

After floating over Illya's head, he stuck close to her and said something even more disdainful:

"It was a great decision to choose the kind and lovely Illya. She is completely different from the old woman before."

Hearing this, veins on Toosaka Rin's face seemed to bulge and her right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Just as she was about to ravage the ruby, she suddenly thought of the unnaturalness of it.

Then he turned to Miyu and 'Illya' and said, "Wait, if that person behind Ruby is Illya, then who are you?"

She was stunned for a moment, then Miyu looked towards Illya;

Ruby also looked towards 'Illya';

Even Illya looked at 'Illya'.

Then everyone said in unison: Ah?

(Note: The following player Illya will add '', but subduing Illya will not.)

Ruby was the first to respond.

Then he covered Illya's eyes tightly and said, "I know, that must be the 'doppelganger' in urban legends. Don't look at it, Illya!"

The so-called doppelganger means that there is someone in the world who is exactly like you.

When you see him, the other you will gradually erode your consciousness and control your behavior.

Illya reached out and took it off: "But I've already seen it. It's useless for you to block it."

Unable to get close to one Illya, Ruby set her sights on another 'Illya'.

It doesn't matter whether the other party is real or fake.

Ruby quickly rushed to Illya and hugged her tightly with her wings.

"Illya and I have never been apart. So you must be a fake!"

As he spoke, he moved his hands all over it, vowing to "check" it thoroughly.

“Hahahahaha——Quick…quickly stop it…”

Finally, Toosaka Rin pulled it off Illya: "You guys, it started when you weren't paying attention."

He threw the ruby ​​hard on the ground, but still not satisfied, so he stepped on it twice.

"What did you just call me? Say it again."

The main theme is to hold a grudge.

'Illya' was stunned. She thought the other party was a capable girl, but in fact, her personality was a violent girl?

"I must be careful not to offend the other party in the future..."

Illya secretly made a note of this.

He didn't stop until Toosaka Rin felt satisfied.

At this time, Ruby became dirty and looked nothing like the mascot before.

Then Toosaka Rin began to have a headache.

How come the value increased just by letting Illya and Miyu explore the nearby area separately?

Ugh--

After a long sigh, he looked at Illya, whose attire was obviously different: "Well, then, tell me about your origins."

My origin?

Illya began to think.

I think it should be about SAO.

By the way, what role do players play in SAO?

Illya asked tentatively, "Are you asking about a simple player? Or a hero who conquers the highest level? Or an adventurer who loves to help others?"

There is absolutely no need to get to the bottom of this issue. As long as you understand that the other party is not real, you have achieved your goal.

And that's the case now.

They didn't understand the words that Illya said, which meant that the other party was not the Illya they knew.

Toosaka Rin and Miyu looked at each other, waved their hands and said, "It's obvious now."

Miyu nodded, "Indeed."

Then, Toosaka Rin smiled kindly: "This is what happened. We seem to have mistaken you for our companion. We are very sorry."

"I'm so sorry for bringing you here without any explanation." Miyu also apologized.

Then the topic changed, and Toosaka Rin continued: "Besides, we have very important things to do, so please excuse me for being so rude."

what?

what happened?

I have to leave right after we met, and I haven’t received my generous reward yet.

Thinking of this, Illya hurriedly said, "Please take me with you. I will definitely help you!"
