[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

When dusk fell, Kirito, who should have been hiding in the maze to attack, appeared in the famous restaurant in Martin on the 57th floor.

The reason, of course, was the two guys in front of him.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." A boy with messy hair was happily stuffing the food on the table into his own mouth, the mouth full of food purrs while talking, the whole person is like a big cat enjoying itself.

Another tall and strong man with no expression on his face ignored the big cat boy and looked straight at Kirito, "Thank you for your hospitality."

"This..." Kirito's forehead was sweating profusely, "It seems that I didn't say I want to invite you..."

"Hey, by the way, baby face, what's your name?" The big cat boy suddenly raised his flickering eyes and stared at Kirito.

"Uh... that... the baby face is referring to... me...?" Kirito twitched and pointed at himself, looking at the two people who nodded at him, and finally fell down on the table in frustration.

After talking for a while, Kirito finally figured out the identities of the two.

Cassian and Ace, who are sword and shield users, have known each other since the beginning of the game, and they have been playing solo strategies together. Today, they just arrived at the front line. They tried to carry out certain strategies but accidentally entered the trap area and fell into the crystal void. The area was transformed and surrounded, and Kirito, who was passing by and noticed something strange, noticed and slashed a way.

"Well... no matter what level you are, it's still too careless to attack alone just after arriving at the front line. After all, as the floor continues to rise, many new dangers will appear in the labyrinth area." Kirito looked. Looking at the two people in front of him, he lectured earnestly.

"We have also downloaded the strategy map. It is reasonable to say that there will be no problems in the area that has already been conquered! Who knows that it has a trap..." The big cat boy jumped onto the chair at once, Waving his arms and shouting.

"Hey hey hey——" out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of the people around him who were casting strange glances in this direction, and Kirito was sweating on his brow, trying to stop him, "Kasian-san... this..."

The expressionless big man on the opposite side nodded silently, stretched out his arms calmly, and pressed the big cat boy into his arms.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Eh! Eh?!!!! Cassian-san... you are like this..." Kirito looked at Cassian who was facing the same face in horror, and began to tremble.

"Isn't it okay?" The big man seemed a little confused, then looked at his arms, and then slightly exerted his free right hand, and stuffed Ace's entire head into his arms.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Looking at Cassian's arms again, a certain big cat named Ace has collapsed limply in Cassian's arms.

So after another flurry of nonsense, the three of them finally settled down.

"Huh—" Kirito wiped his sweat silently, "By the way... Cassian Sang and Essang, are you going to join the strategy team?"

"This..." A trace of inexplicable nostalgia flashed across Cassian's silent face, and then his eyes gradually dimmed, "No, we're just looking at the current situation on the front line..."

"what-----"

A shrill scream pierced the originally comfortable atmosphere, and people looked outside one after another. Kirito immediately put down the spoon in his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm going to take a look..."

"Let's go too!" Ace jumped over Cassian to the corridor and ran out with a look of excitement.

Cassian followed immediately, leaving Kirito, who was a little stunned, behind.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

With the continuous improvement of the level, even ordinary strong people can clearly distinguish the source of the surrounding sounds, so the three of them ran towards the church in the square without thinking, but only saw one person with a The short gun was suspended in the air by a noose, and the wound was still showing red damage.

"How come..." Kirito had an unbelievable expression on his face, "Quick jjj!"

The person who was hung was obviously panicked, and looked around in confusion, before he suddenly stretched his hand on the pistol and wanted to jjj hard.

"Cassian, catch him!"

Kirito looked at Ace next to him in surprise, and saw that the other party had already taken out a rope with a grapple-like object tied on the top, swung it around a few times, and then threw it to the edge of a balcony above.

"Yuhe!" Ace tugged a few times secretly, grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up with a pounce, while Cassian was already standing right below and stood firmly.

Kirito nodded, he didn't expect the reaction and cooperation of these two people to be so fast.

"Killing in the circle can only be duel within a limited range... I'll go upstairs to have a look!" Kirito rushed into the floor with a dash, wanting to find the murderer as soon as possible.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

The hanged person suddenly began to struggle violently. Ace narrowed his eyes slightly, and then jumped out forcefully with the help of the rope. Trying to grab the short spear on the opponent's chest and trying to pull it out with the help of gravity, but——

"Snapped--"

The opponent struggled harder and harder, but then stopped suddenly, and a large diamond-shaped spot of light scattered in all directions.

After a brief silence, screams resounded through the sky.

Kirito, who was one step late, stared down at the entire square, trying to find out the signs of victory in the duel that appeared within the allowed range of the duel, but no one had similar system notifications.

"How could it be..." Kirito walked down the stairs slowly, picked up the only short gun left on the ground, and frowned, "I'm sorry, but has anyone witnessed the whole process of the incident just now?"

After a short period of silence, a girl in blue armor came out slowly, "I... I am Yoko... I came to eat with Kainz... that person just now..."

After a while, the four of them sat back at the hotel table again.

"Gremrock..." Cassian held the short spear in front of him in one hand, and thought for a while, "I don't have such a famous professional in my impression..."

"You mean... Gelimu Rock?!" The girl on the opposite side covered her mouth in surprise.

"Excuse me, Yezi-san, do you know this person?" Kirito asked beside him.

The girl frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, "Yes... he was the guild partner of Kainz and I..."

It was raining patter outside, and the girl was talking slowly.

"Among those who objected, besides Schmidt who is now united with the Holy Dragon, is Kainz...could it be Grimmrock who wants to..."

"Schmidt? It seems very familiar..." Kirito recalled a little, and suddenly the figure of the bento shop that refused to leave early in the morning appeared in his mind, and the big man who was following her at that time...

"Do you know Schmidt? If possible, can you let me meet him? After all, he doesn't know about it yet..."

"This..." Kirito turned his face slightly.

"Hey! Babyface, you know that guy named Schmidt, so you can help me~" Ace spread his hands and patted his chest, "Could it be possible that someone has dealt with you before? Well, don't worry, with me and Ka now, I will definitely pack it up for you~"

"Bang—" Cassian punched him on the head, which drew Ace's wronged accusation.

"Bastard Cassian, why did you hit me again..."

"Idiot, that's the Holy Dragon Alliance!"

"So what's the matter!!!... Hey, why does it sound so familiar..." Ace squatted on the stool and scratched his head in distress, "It seems that you said it a few days ago... Then we arrived Let’s take a look at the front line... eh?!!!!!!”

Cassian looked at the stunned stone statue of Ai Sijun, and finally nodded in relief.

On the other side, Kirito saw the two continue to communicate in a way that only they could understand, so he decisively turned to Yeko who was on the opposite side with a blank face.

"Yezi-san, don't worry, we will contact Schmidt for you, but we may have to go back to the front line first, and I will take you back to the hotel later, please wait patiently in the hotel before we come back."

"Hmm..." Yezi nodded, with obvious relief on his face, "Thank you very much!"

"Eh?? What did you decide??"

The above are Ace with a blank face and Cassian who can still make people see his doubts even though he is avoiding talking.

Kirito sighed silently, "In short, let's send Yezi-san back first, and then we have to discuss what to do next."

"Should we also participate in this matter?" Cassian, who had been very silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and looked at Kirito in confusion.

"Um, this..." Kirito, who hadn't recalled until now that these two people were rescued by him completely unintentionally, looked at the paralyzed face in front of him speechlessly.

"Well... Cassian Sang is not wrong to say that... But since you have seen this kind of murder in the circle, you can't easily..."

"It has nothing to do with us." Cassian refuted mercilessly.

"Hey, Cassian, you can't say that." Ace on the side suddenly pulled Cassian's clothes, "The elder sister taught us that we have to repay the kindness of a drop of water, baby face please This table meal is not just a drop of water!"

Cassian frowned.

"stare--"

Cassian frowned into the word Chuan.

"stare----"

Finally, Cassian withdrew his eye ray before Ace could glare the tears.

"That's up to you."

"Yeah~ Cassian is a great guy~~~ hug~~~ rub~~~~~"

Cassian reached out and rubbed Ace's furry head, and his expression gradually eased.

Kirito, who was on the sidelines, finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then send Yeko-san back first..."

"Good~~~~"

"what."
