Episode 1 "Touching SAO"

"... is this the end?"

　

I... Otomi ren got up from the bed and closed the paperback I was reading.

I bought this book by chance. She happened to catch my eye when I was looking for a reference book at a bookstore.

　

The book is called Sword Art Online. A boy in black and a girl in red and white costumes are on the cover, so-called light novels.

　

In the past, I was worried about my friends talking about anime, so I bought it without thinking. To be honest, what I read was pretty interesting.

　

I felt a little admiration for the world of VR, which is unthinkable with today's technology.

When I looked it up on my smartphone, it seems that it has been made into an anime, and the 3rd season of the anime will start airing next year.

　

(Well, I feel like wielding a sword in the real world is more suitable for me...)

　

I put my book and smartphone on the desk and looked at the clock. After eating dinner and taking a bath, I was reading a book, so the clock was past 11:00.

　

(... I can't help but worry about the continuation...)

　

I was thinking of doing my homework, but I was worried about the continuation of the paperback, so I closed the open notebook and headed to bed. I regretted that I should have bought 4 or 5 more books together if this happened.

　

(…………shall we sleep)

With that in mind, I went to bed.

　

(Tomorrow, I'll buy a few books on my way home... I'll have to stop by the dojo before that... Maybe I'll watch the anime after that. For now, I'll think about it again tomorrow morning.)

Thinking about that, I fell asleep.

　

　

　

When I woke up from sleep, for some reason a white space was spreading.

　

"...Where, here?"

　

Gradually, various rod-shaped objects appeared in my eyes. and,

　

『welcome Sword Art Online』

　

"……yes?"

　

What did I just see...?

Are you sure it's Sword Art Online...?

Wait wait... is this a dream?

　

“……Somehow the login screen came up…………Wait, something is being entered automatically!?”

　

I was surprised at the screen that suddenly appeared, but my tsukkomi couldn't catch up with the screen that proceeded on its own. Then a headache hit me. My head is about to crack, my vision is blurred, I can't stand, and I just squat down. When I desperately raised my head, noise appeared on the screen, and my vision became pure white.

　

“……Ha!……Is this……?”

And then, the color returned to my vision at once. When I looked around, I saw a city and many people.

“…………Also, could it be……that’s a lie……!?”

　

……Apparently……I came to the world of SAO, it seems.
