[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

[Sunny evening on July [-], [-]]

June finally swept away like a gust of endless heat in midsummer, buried deeply in the accumulation of years.

Those heavy tears and helplessness, those powerless resentments and curses, all settled in the bottom of my heart in the still flow of time, stretching into dark scars.

This is another kind of commemoration brought to me by this world.

But this time, I was not abandoned.

Or, it should be said, I finally found out that I was never abandoned.

The evening wind, moistened by the magnificent sunset glow, brushed over this towering cliff, as well as my half-open collar and her fluttering long hair.

The faint fragrance of hair surrounds me, not strong enough, but I can always smell it inadvertently.

Turning her head to the side, her gentle young girl's face had an obsessive expression, fascinated by the brilliance of the setting sun. The setting sun dyed her a little blush, which was slightly smeared beside the dimples, which was very beautiful.

Every day when I lower my head and raise my head, I can always see her, standing quietly beside me like this, this feeling is very strange, but at the same time very reassuring.

Since June, I took off the heavy cloak and scarf that had been wrapped around my head early in the morning, as if I bid farewell to an identity and a period of time in this way.Like a newborn, she smiles freely and walks in the endless stream of people, just like ordinary people, not entangled in how to attack and how to protect the interests of most people.

The setting sun sank little by little until the last ray of light faded away.

"It's so beautiful..." The girl sighed softly, and stroked back her long hair that was blown by the wind with her wrist.

"If you like it, you can come and see it tomorrow." Seeing her disappointed expression, I couldn't help curling the corners of my mouth slightly, and comforted me, silently calculating in my heart that I would extend the time at the hotel a little longer, and go a little higher the day after tomorrow. The floor is fine.

"Pfft~" A girl's soft laugh came from next to her ear.

"...What?" I looked at her curved eyes with some hesitation, and my brain was a little dazed.

"It's nothing~" He coughed a few times early in the morning, tried his best to stop smiling, his blue eyes looked into mine, "It's just that Kirito indulged me too much~"

"Hey... Is there..." I scratched my head subconsciously, and my eyes drifted to one side.

"Yes, I always change the original plan if I say anything about Kirito, which makes me feel quite embarrassed."

"Because...there is no fixed arrangement..." I racked my brains to explain.

"No, I'm very happy that Kirito did this, but I'm just saying, just like this sunset, I'm afraid it won't be as amazing as it is today if you always look at it, it would be more joyful to meet it by chance." The girl softly The soft voice passed by my ear and penetrated deep into my brain, "So, Kirito doesn't need to change anything~"

I looked at her determined eyes and couldn't help but nodded.

"……oh, I understand now."

The girl smiled, and took another look at the place where the setting sun was setting.

"Let's go, I'm still hungry so late, let's go eat together, I know there is a super delicious restaurant..."

I followed her, quietly listening to her lively voice, looking slightly sideways at her bright face, feeling warm in my heart.

I understand your worries, and I know that you really understand me.

Just being together like this makes me stronger too.

"Kirito? What's the matter, why don't you talk? Do you want to eat?" The girl turned around to her side and asked suspiciously.

"Ah...ah, the place I chose early in the morning must be good..."

"Really?"

"Really..."

"Hmph, there's no sincerity at all...Let's just let you have to pay the bill at night!"

"what……"

[Morning breeze on October [-], [-]] In the early morning, I yawned and walked down the stairs of the hotel. These days we have followed the route given in the tourism weekly magazine to go with the situation. So put off.

However, maybe it would be nice to buy a cottage in a place with beautiful scenery. When I get up early in the morning, I can see the beautiful scenery around me, and my smile will probably be more real.

The girl by the window put her face in her hands, silently looking at the busy street outside.

Probably since the Knights of the Blood Alliance was ranked number one in the "SAO Raiders Newsletter", such an indifferent expression often appeared on their faces early in the morning.

I know about the thing about being in the blood alliance early in the morning, but I have never explored it, so now I can only sit beside her and whisper to the waiter to order breakfast.

"Kirito, you're here~" The girl turned her head, with a bright smile on her originally melancholy face.

"Early in the morning, next time you can order first, I always get up late..."

"It's okay, I got up too early. I've lived a peaceful life recently, and the quality of sleep is great." Early in the morning, she shook her head and looked at me mischievously, "After all, Kirito has to work hard to fight monsters and make money to support me. , of course I need to rest more~"

"You..." I covered my forehead weakly, but a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Breakfast is still thick soup, bread and eggs, and I have an extra steak.Speaking of which, although I like to eat all kinds of delicacies in the early morning, the breakfast is surprisingly monotonous and extremely regular.

"Where is Kirito going today?" He sipped the white soup early in the morning, licking the corners of his mouth from time to time like a cat.

"Hmm." I chewed on the steak and thought hard, "The maze is just around the corner, and the maze here is not finished yet, so let's go to the maze... Sorry, I can't go out with you to play ..."

"It doesn't matter. After all, the type and power of monsters in the labyrinth are also very important for the subsequent strategies. Well, I happen to be free, so let's go together~"

"Ah."

————&—————

The swords and shadows converged, and the open space in front of them was instantly emptied.

There is nothing to worry about, there is an indestructible companion behind you, you just need to work hard to move forward, this kind of monster spawning is really good.

"Sure enough, two people are much faster than one person." I put away the sword in my hand and walked into Qingchen who was counting the spoils.

"Magic dagger, elf bracer...roast suckling pig's feet...roast suckling pig?!" An exclamation early in the morning attracted my attention.

"What's wrong?" I looked at the screen in front of me, and there was a big pig's foot on it.

"Woooooo... It's actually a roast suckling pig... Drooling..."

"Um... A-level cooking products, roast suckling pig... not bad." I recalled the memories in my mind, but apart from the legendary delicacies of S-level, A-level food is probably the best.

"I've decided!" Early in the morning, she suddenly jumped up excitedly.

"Eh? What the hell..." I looked at the excitement on my face early in the morning, and a bad premonition slowly surfaced in my heart.

"I want to brush roast suckling pig here!!!"

"what?!"

In the end, I stayed with her to brush roast suckling pig under half-coercion early in the morning. Seeing how I was trying to clean up monsters early in the morning, I couldn't help feeling that women are emotional animals again.

In the gap between spawning monsters, I opened my skill table at will, and took the opportunity to improve the level of my skills. Just thinking about it, suddenly, a line of strange words appeared in my eyes.

"...Kirito~ I found another one~~~ I'm so happy~~ I can finally taste the A-level food I brushed up today~ It's still a roast suckling pig~~ I'm so happy~~~eh? Kirito ?What's wrong?"

There is the sound of approaching slowly in the early morning, but under my calm appearance, my blood has already boiled, and my heartbeat is accelerating fieryly.

[Double Swordsmanship], a brand new term that appeared in my skill list, has a different meaning.

The hand that had always held the sword trembled slightly, as if longing for something.

"Hey, early in the morning, lend me your sword."

"Eh?...Here you are."

Due to the needs of gun shooting skills, the sword in the early morning is much heavier than the average girl's saber, but it seems to meet my needs. I waved it slightly, and the black and white sword body drew beautiful lines in the air. arc.

"Kirito..."

"Early morning, you look good." My throat rose and fell heavily, slowly brewing.

Logically speaking, what I should do seems to be to check all the information immediately to verify the conjecture in my heart, but at this moment, in my heart, I only have a strong hunch: this is a skill, and Is a unique skill that allows me to surpass everyone!

"Could it be that... you want to create your own swordsmanship?!" Qingchen suddenly realized that she wanted to stop me.

"No, no! Early morning! Don't come here!"

Different from ordinary one-handed swords, the two-handed sword has a different kind of tactile sensation. The premonition that has been swimming in the blood vessels like a small electric current suddenly bursts out like a volcano.

"Ah - Starburst Airflow Slash!!!!!!"

The sword in his hand seemed to be detached, and the whole person began to spin at a high speed. At the same time, the movements of the left and right hands perfectly blended and alternated.

It's a wonderful feeling, walking on the edge of strength and speed, as if breaking through the interlayer and flying into the vast sky.

"This time..."

"Kirito!"

"Dang--"

My body hit the stone wall beside me heavily, my brain went blank for a moment, and a pair of gentle hands gently touched my body.

"Kirito! Kirito?! How are you?"

"No, it's okay... It's just the first time I used this sword skill, and I couldn't control it." I slowly came back to my senses, looking at the anxious face in front of me, "However, I just threw the sword out at the end. It's still a success! A total of 16 consecutive hits!"

"Yes, you succeeded, you unique double-knife fool!"

Unique...is it?

Looking at the sparkling eyes of the girl in front of me, I slowly clenched my hands full of strength again.

At the same time, a desire that had long been buried in my heart resurfaced.

I think it's time for me to leave.
