Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

"I thought someone like Suguha wouldn't play a game like this..."

Suguha scratched his head and said, "Hehe, come to think of it, if it weren't for my brother, I probably wouldn't have played a game like this."

Then she patted her chest and changed the subject:

"But don't take that for granted, I'm pretty awesome in SAO!"

"Really?" Sagiri asked doubtfully.

She really found it hard to believe that a child with excellent grades could also be very good at playing games.

At this time, Koumaro clarified: "Believe her, Suguha is the main force of the Kendo Club, it's no wonder that she is so powerful in SAO."

But when she finished speaking, she found that the two of them were looking at her with strange eyes.

Suguha's face was full of surprise, while Sagiri's face was full of excitement.

Sagiri then asked, "Could it be that Umaru-chan is also playing SAO?"

"Eh?"

This is simply a proposition.

Only then did Komari come back to her senses. Didn't the words she just said prove that she also knew something about SAO?

Simata, who had hidden so many secrets, would reveal his flaws after such a short time.

What was even more dangerous was that Suguha spoke again.

"So you're playing it too. I thought people like Umaru-chan had no interest in games at all."

"Right?"

This familiar scene made Sagiri and Suguha feel as if they had seen a close friend.

Not interested in games?

How dare you insult me ​​with such words!

After all, she is an expert in gaming. Not to mention single-player and online games, even the manager of the game hall would be wary of her.

Well, but now it seems that I really can’t hide it anymore.

Originally it was to prevent the friendship between himself and Suguha from being broken because of the game.

But since the other party was also playing, the nature of the situation changed and she no longer needed to hide!

So she stood up on the spot: "Haha, since everyone knows it, I won't pretend anymore. I am the genius gamer UMR!"

"UMR?!" The two looked shocked.

But after looking at each other, they were full of doubts: "I don't know..."

Komari immediately said: "UMR doesn't know? Among all the games in the arcades and game halls around here, which highest record is not in my name? You really don't know?"

The two repeated it again: "I really don't know..."

"What...? I, UMR, have a great reputation throughout my life, why...?"

After saying this, she shrank into a corner of the room, feeling devastated.

You know, Suguha is a good kid who goes to bed early and gets up early, and has never been to any game hall.

Sagiri has never heard of it. She has never left home, so how can she know the ranking in the game hall?

Totally nonsense.

Just like that, the two of them remained silent, one of them was hit hard, and the room suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, a burst of laughter was heard.

"really interesting."

Sagiri seemed to have forgotten her reservedness in front of strangers: "Weren't you friends before?"

"...A friend." Suguha said.

"Then why does it feel like you know so little about each other?"

"This..." Suguha was speechless

"I hid all of this on purpose..." Komari said after some hesitation, "As a squad leader, if I say that I like playing games, it would be really lame. Maybe Suguha would hate me..."

He said this with an awkward smile.

Suguha shook her head. "Even if you like games, you are still Umaru-chan. How could I hate you?"

As she spoke, a sincere and gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Suguha..."

To Komari, that smile was much more dazzling than when she was usually out.

Having said this, the two couldn't help but laugh out loud as they looked at each other.

Then the two looked at each other and said:

"Let's go back to SAO together?"

"makes sense."

Sagiri was a little surprised.

This seems to be my own room, but why do I feel like an outsider?

At this time, Komari's knot was resolved, but the purpose of this trip had not yet been achieved.

So she turned to Sagiri and said, "We are going to play together tonight, does Sagiri want to join us?"

"Yes!" Sagiri responded quickly.

"Then we can be considered friends, right?"

"Of course we're friends." Sagiri nodded quickly.

Seeing the other party's impatient look, Komari lied: "But we have another important thing to do before going out. If Sagiri is willing to go to school with me in the future, we can play together every day."

Oh, that's a very tempting offer indeed.

Finding a strange guild to join in SAO is not as fun as playing with real friends.

Sagiri is very clear about this principle.

But one thing is one thing, after some hesitation, she refused again.

"No! I'm not going to school!"

"It really doesn't work..."

Komari forced a smile, but agreed with the result.

Suguha also explained, "Don't get me wrong, she was just joking. It's a rare opportunity to meet a new friend, so there's no reason to exclude her, right?"

Koumaro smiled and nodded.

In other words, Sagiri will be brought along when we play tonight.

This touched Sagiri deeply: "Really? I've refused twice, are you really willing to take me with you?"

"Of course, because we are friends!"

The two people's gentle smiles are so dazzling.

At this point, the three people who had become friends no longer had any barriers between them and began to speak freely.

During this time, Suguha asked, "When Sagiri refused at first, didn't she say 'I have something important to do'?"

"I think I did." Komari echoed.

Sagiri opened up and told her secret.

"Don't tell anyone else, actually... I'm an illustrator."

"Illustrator? What's that?"

Suguha obviously has a shallow understanding of ACG culture.

Koumaro explained: "An illustrator is someone who draws illustrations for novels. It's a great job."

"That sounds impressive!" Suguha clapped her hands and asked, "Can I see how Sagiri-sensei works?"

I didn't expect that the other party would even use such a respectful title as teacher, so how could I not show off?

Sagiri smiled and agreed: "Come over here, I will show you."

The three of them gathered in front of the display screen, waiting for their owner to wake them up.

But Sagiri froze in place, as if she was remembering something very important.

If I remember correctly...I was drawing a book before the two of them came...

Now when you wake up the screen, isn't this what you see? !

At this time, Koumaro was introducing it to Suguha: "This is a digital tablet. You can draw on the computer, but I have never actually used it. I only have a little understanding of it."

As she spoke, she was about to move the mouse, and this operation would wake up the screen with the book reflected on it.

“Wait, wait…!”

Sagiri wanted to stop it, but seeing that the screen was about to wake up, she could only jump up and cover the eyes of Suguha who was closest to her.

With a swish, the display screen lit up.

Miss Kiriko, who has not been colored yet and only has outlines, comes into view.

It can be said that he is indeed a professional illustrator. Even Himouto is stunned by it.

Aren't you looking at the work of an illustrator? Are you sure... you're not a book artist?

On the screen, I saw Miss Kiriko wearing a latex suit, her pupils dull and looking upwards, saliva flowing from the corners of her mouth, and a pair of hearts imprinted in the character's eyes.

What a wicked scene.

Komari, who is always well-informed, didn't know what to say when she saw this scene.

After all, this was her idol, Ms. Kiriko, and what was in front of her was even the original painting from the book.

Komari swallowed, her eyes widened a little, and she stared straight at the thing in front of her.

Sagiri covered Suguha's eyes in a hurry, but inadvertently left a gap.

This was a feast for her eyes.

And unlike Koumaro's silence, when Suguha saw the person in the picture, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Ou...Ou Nei-chan?!"

"Huh? There are other masters?" Komari was shocked.

I originally thought that Suguha was Miss Kiriko, but due to lack of evidence I couldn't confirm it. Now it is completely confirmed that the two are indeed related!
