[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

In front of the Holy Dragon United Headquarters.

"It's here." Kirito stood firmly at a corner, looking at the gate where people came and went, and said in a low voice.

"Hey..." Ace scratched his head, "Then what should we do next..."

"No way, I can only go in and ask."

"Then we'll wait for you here..." Ace patted his chest confidently, "Babyface, you..."

"It's not me!" Kirito suddenly turned his head and said seriously, "It's you!"

"Hey!!!" Ace stared at Kirito in surprise.

"Because there are some things... anyway, I'm not suitable to go in... and you just happen to be new to the front line, so it's just right to ask about it."

"That's... that's not the case..." Ace took a step back with fear on his face, "We are the ones who can't go in and find someone... Otherwise... Otherwise..."

"Huh?" Kirito stared at the two people who were obviously hiding something, "Could it be between Essang and Cassian Sang and Shenglong United..."

"Hello." Cassian, who hadn't said a word, suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at Kirito's back, "Someone seems to be calling you over there."

"Eh?" Kirito pointed at himself, and turned around half-believingly when Cassian nodded, "Is there anyone... um... no... Cassian-san... eh?!!!!"

The figure that suddenly disappeared in front of him seemed to indicate the whole process of Kirito being deceived by a black belly.

In the end, Kirito walked towards the blue hall alone, and kept looking for the familiar face with his eyes while walking.

"Hurry up... hurry up..."

Kirito, who walked round and round in the hall, got acquainted with a few suspicious guards not far away who had been staring at him with some embarrassment, and looked at the depths of the corridor that he was familiar with, and finally I still plan to go out first.

"Eh? Kirito-kun?"

Kirito, who lowered his head in frustration, suddenly trembled, and looked at the people behind him as if he had been saved when he was on the verge of danger.

"Ah! Savior at last! Miss Merritt!"

"Eh?!!!"

Kirito soon explained his purpose, and Merritt nodded in understanding.

"That's it... no wonder Kirito-kun came here in person, but since this is the case, you should contact the president first." Merritt raised his eyebrows.

"Um... After all, you must be very busy as the leader of the meeting early in the morning... So this kind of looking for someone..."

"That's not the case, it's just that Schmidt has been promoted to be the personal bodyguard of Lord Qingchen, so no matter what, he still has to tell Lord Qingchen about his assignment."

"what?!!!"

"What's the matter, Merritt, why are you standing here?"

Another familiar voice appeared in the corridor not far away, and Kirito stiffened, and slowly turned to the source of the voice, his heartbeat finally jumped at an uncontrollable speed.

The blonde girl in black approached slowly, followed by her loyal knight.

"Ah, Master Early Morning, you just came~" Merritt saluted respectfully, and then lowered his body to reveal Kirito behind him, "Kirito-kun seems to have come here specially to tell Schmitt something."

"Hey..." The black skirt gradually appeared in Kirito's deliberately lowered sight, "Looking for my bodyguard?"

"No, I'm not looking for your personal bodyguard." Kirito suddenly raised his head, looking straight at Qingchen with calm eyes, "I just want to tell Schmidt that I used to be a member of the Golden Apple Guild Schmitt."

Early in the morning, he tilted his head silently.

"Golden Apple...you, Kirito-kun, how do you know..." Schmitt behind him was obviously very surprised, and couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Just today, there was a murder in the circle on the seventh floor, and there was no sign on the scene showing the existence of any murderer..."

"Does sleep kill?" Merritt nodded knowingly.

"No, it was a real on-site killing, and there was no information about the victory of the duel! And the deceased was a player named Kainz."

"How could it be!" Schmitt exclaimed, "Kainz?!"

"In order to find out what happened as soon as possible, we asked Ye Zisang, who was present at the time, and she hoped to see you."

"Yezi...is it really them...this..." Schmidt was surprised and caught off guard, and then turned his head to look at Qingchen beside him, "Miss Qingchen, I..."

"It's okay, you go." Qingchen nodded understandingly, and then a smile appeared on her fair face, "Of course, I want to go together~"

"Hey—" three exclamations sounded, attracting the attention of the people around.

"My lord early in the morning... this is too..." Merritt looked at Schmitt and Kirito in surprise, "After all, it is a murder in the circle for unknown reasons, so just go so casually..."

"So, as the president of the Raiders Guild, I have to take the lead in showing concern for this incident~"

"My lord early in the morning, I can solve this matter alone!" Schmidt said respectfully.

"Oh, since the other party asked the great Kirito-kun to invite Schmidt in person, it means that this matter should involve my trusted subordinates, so I can't let Schmidt go alone~ "

"That..." Kirito twitched and wanted to interrupt.

"That's it! I'm going with Schmidt!"

And Kirito, who was watching like a person from another world, finally fell silent after hesitant to speak a few times, and stood aside with joy or relief, waiting for the decision of Qingchen and others.

However, it was not Kirito who was completely ignored in this accident.

"Yo~Babyface-san, you are back~~This tall guy...could it be the Schmidt that Yoko-san said~ What a strong guy...Hey, Cassian, why are you pulling my clothes again? !!! Just now you dragged me away all at once and haven't settled with you..."

"That's right~ Cassian, what are you doing pulling Ace's clothes~hmm?~~~"

In an instant, the fur-fried cat man calmed down, and the paralyzed man who silently wanted to give a hint secretly stiffened, his neck twisted neatly in the same direction.

"Big... eldest sister..."

"Vice president……"

And the smiling person who seemed to be on fire under the light...

"Early morning...do you know each other...?" Kirito looked around, the situation at the scene seemed to be a little out of state.

Schmidt took a step forward, putting one hand on the spear on his back.

"Master Qingchen is the chairman of our Holy Dragon Union! Who dares to speak so recklessly!"

Kirito finally sweated profusely down his forehead.

"Huh?! It's the eldest sister of our family in the early morning! Which onion dares to provoke you in front of your grandfather Ace!" The big cat swooped to break away from Cassian's pull, and pulled a gun that was inserted obliquely behind his waist He came out and pulled a beautiful spear flower.

"This this……"

"Sure enough, after a long time, I have become more courageous~" Qingchen snorted coldly, and her slender body flashed.

"boom!!!!"

"Hey yo hey—big sis, please forgive me——"

"Vice president!"

At this time, the hand holding Ace stepped hard on his back early in the morning, and a more mournful howl resounded through the street.

"I heard that you seem to have broken away from the blood alliance and cut off contact with everyone in the past. I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that you have indeed become more courageous~"

"Ahhh—how could—eldest sister—I don't dare anymore——"

"Don't you dare? Don't you really dare? Don't you think you can do whatever you want by deleting my contacts~eh?~"

"No ah ah ah -oh oh -forgive life--"

"Vice President, Ace just deleted it accidentally..." Cassian finally couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade him.

"Oh~~~~~ Cassian actually pleaded for Ace~~" In the early morning, he couldn't stop glancing between the two, his eyes full of hints, "This is really interesting~"

Cassian, whose face had been paralyzed all this time, had a rare blush on his face.

Taking this opportunity, Ace, who broke free from his feet early in the morning, swooped and fled into Cassian's arms.

"Well, I have plenty of time to argue with you in the future, don't worry." He waved his hand early in the morning, as if calculating slowly, "Schmidt, remember to tell Watson that I found two for the captain of the combat department~ "

"Eh?!!! Protest against exploitation!!!" Ace, who had been eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, screamed.

"The protest is invalid!" He dismissed it early in the morning without looking back.

"That..." Schmidt suddenly looked at Qingchen with a look of embarrassment on his face, "The chief of staff said...you are not allowed to run around until the guild integration is completed...and let us supervise you..."

"Anyway, I also found two captains to be his assistants, no problem~ Watson is too rigid! Schmidt, you need to know how to be flexible! Isn't there a rush to solve the matter over there? Let's go quickly Let's go to see if there are any new clues~"

"Hey... Hey, President!!"

"Ace! Cassian! Lead the way!"

"Yes."

Looking at the harmonious atmosphere of the few people in front of him, Kirito, who has always been like a transparent person, couldn't help but smiled wryly, and still followed.
