Fuyuki City is located in the far east of the map.

The name comes from its supposedly extremely long winters, but in reality the climate is relatively warm and rarely hit by severe cold.

At the same time, it has been in a stable state in recent years, with no gas explosions or engineering accidents, so it is well received by foreign tourists.

The private Hogunhara Academy is located in this city.

At this time, in the Kendo Club, a red-haired boy in a Kyudo uniform pulled the bow and arrow and looked at the target in front of him.

Adjust the height of the arrow, calculate the falling distance, and then release the arrow.

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew quickly forward.

After flying into the target, Shirou sighed - his insight had deviated from the center.

"Senior, has anything happened to you recently? You seem to be worried."

A young girl walked up behind Shirou, apparently watching from the sidelines.

"It's Sakura, why do you say that?"

Shirou had indeed been a little worried lately, but he thought he probably hadn't shown it.

Matou Sakura said, "I like the way you shoot arrows, you who have never missed before missed the target, but you missed the target. This can only be explained by you being worried."

After hearing Sakura's guess, Shirou no longer concealed it:

"In fact, my sister has been playing games all day recently, and I don't know what to do."

Shirou smiled shamefacedly.

Then Ying suggested, "Why don't you try it, Senior?"

"Let me try, but I have almost no gaming experience."

Ying explained: "Since my sister is so addicted, the game she is playing must be the recently popular SAO, so don't worry, senior, even if you have no experience, you can quickly get started."

"Why does Sakura look so familiar? Have you played it before?" Shirou asked back.

Ying nodded: "I have played it before, and I recommended it to my sister, but she didn't seem to like it very much."

Recommend it to Toosaka Rin, the mechanical geek? You can imagine what the result will be.

"Thank you Sakura, I'll think about it."

……

It was lunch break time and Shirou came to the student council room.

He eats lunch here every day.

One of the reasons is that there is a friend here who will die if he is not fed - Yanagido Kazunari.

Yicheng opened the lunch box he brought with him. It only contained some vegetarian dishes and rice, without any smell of meat.

It turns out that the other party is practicing as a monk.

But even so, you cannot not consume any protein at all. If you do this for a long time, your body will definitely collapse.

Thinking of this, Shirou opened his lunch box and pushed it towards Kazunari: "Eat~"

"I feel so embarrassed to be taken care of by you every day."

Although he said this, Yicheng's hands did not stop moving at all.

But who can blame them for being friends?

Shirou was able to share his lunch box, and Issei knew when to stop and simply tasted Shirou's dishes, leaving most of the food for Shirou.

While tasting the food, Issei's expression changed: "Shirou, have you been worried recently? You might as well tell me. Maybe I can be of use to you."

"Ah? Again?" Shirou asked back, "How did Issei know?"

Yicheng pushed his glasses confidently: "The taste of the food is delicious, but it is not as good as it could be. It is this subtle change that tells me."

Shirou had no choice but to recount what had just happened.

"I see. I also suggest that Shirou give it a try. After all, only after understanding the situation can we better solve it, right?"

Shirou nodded. "I never thought that Issei would occasionally say something useful."

"Of course... No, what did you mean by that?"

"I was just kidding." Shirou changed the subject: "I will think about what you said carefully."

……

After school that day, Shirou returned home.

I caught my younger sister Illya who hadn’t started playing the game yet.

Shirou asked, "Is the game Illya playing recently SAO?"

“Hey, Onii-chan, do you know this too?”

Illya acted surprised, after all, she knew her brother very well.

Although she herself had thought of inviting her brother to play games together, she gave up after thinking about it. After all, Shirou was not the kind of person who would be interested in games.

"Someone recommended it to me recently, and I'm still wondering if I should give it a try?"

Illya almost rushed to Shirou's face when she heard this:

“Definitely have to try it!”

"Is this game so attractive?" Shirou asked.

"If you try it, I believe you will be addicted to it too."

After hearing Illya's confident words, Shirou also became somewhat interested in SAO.

"I see. I'll try."

"Yeah! Let's play together then."

After saying that, Illya trotted back to the room, apparently to continue the game.

Shirou, who was the only one left, took out his cell phone and began to search for information about SAO.

[It has been three months since SAO was released, and the number of registered players is still increasing. ]

[The fifth-floor BOSS appears, and single-handedly wipes out the largest guild]

[The black-clad swordsman has reappeared in the martial arts world, and he is in a state of desolation, my family~]

It's just interesting as news.

Then Shirou came to the forum and posted a question:

[Emiya: What should new players pay attention to when playing SAO? ]

The answer came right after, and Shirou couldn't help but sigh that SAO had a really large player base.

[Brother Daoguang: New players should definitely try the bow and arrow. It is definitely useful for stable output in the back row.]

[Star King: Ordinary people can also play. If you have a certain sports specialty in real life, I believe you will have more fun in SAO. ]

[Tong Chong: I tried the bow and arrow as a novice weapon, and it was exactly the same as in real life. I didn't expect that I could improve my archery skills in the game. ]

Seeing this, Shirou stopped what he was doing.

Although I have heard about the powerful functions of SAO, I didn’t expect that it can also improve archery skills. It seems I have to try it.

Thinking about this, he put away his phone, stood up and walked towards the commercial street - he was going to buy equipment.

What he didn't know was that the post was later criticized by countless players, simply because 'Daoguang Ge' misled newcomers to play bows and arrows.

Of course, Shirou doesn't need to care about such things.

On the second floor of the Kiritani residence, in Kirito's room.

Kirito asked Yui on the screen: "What happened?"

"It's all done, papa."

Then Kirito put on a well-planned smile: "Well done~"

……

Two days later.

Shirou completed the installation of SAO related equipment.

Then he lay on the bed and put on his stealth helmet: "Link Start!"

Before Shirou's eyes, data flashed at the speed of light, accompanied by a series of visual effects of codes and data streams.

Then there was a flash of light, and he arrived at the character landing space.

The game ID is directly Emiya, the physical details are not modified, and the password is set before logging into the game.

Finally, Shirou appeared at the 'Starting Square'.
