Episode 18 "Inheritance! OSS of Bonds!"
I'm sorry, but that's a pretty misleading title.
When I was foreshadowing various things, it happened.
Well, when I tried to connect it to the Alicization arc, it was a necessary depiction, so please forgive me.
Before I knew it , this is the 50th episode... I feel like it's gone by so quickly (laughs)
.
It was decided that I would live with Momoki, and my parents and I were busy preparing for it.
Dad began negotiating with his aunt, who was Momonoki's guardian. Of course, he didn't seem to get a good look at first, but my father, who is a seasoned veteran, saw even that, and had already filled in the outer moat , and it seems that it was only a matter of time after that.
On the way home from work, I stopped by my apartment (a condominium in my father's name. My father and I have a contract, and the rent is paid in my mother's name. It seems that this is better because of tax issues), and my father told me about the negotiations.
(Usually, he hardly changes his expression) His eyes were smiling (I think), so it must be true. I didn't get it...
Mother helped me buy daily necessities and necessary things according to the days when my hands were free.
As expected, the story is different depending on whether there is a car or not, so I was very grateful ... but,
"Momenoki-chan! Try wearing this too!"
"Yes...!"
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
On the first day of shopping... I stopped by the hospital on the way home from shopping because I was told that I would like to meet Momoki... All I could do was watch my mother in silence.
"Oh, Otoya-kun, what happened to those clothes?"
"...Excuse me, Kurahashi-sensei. It seems that my mother brought it from work... when we talked about living together, she asked me about my size, so..."
"Workplace...?"
"Yes. Mom, I'm a clothing designer..."
Just like me, I can only watch the scene, and answer the questions of Kurahashi-sensei, who is a little reluctant.
Mother often makes prototypes of her own designs. For that reason, I have been used as a test subject many times since long ago... Thanks to that, when I made original armor in the game, that experience was reflected, and now I am saved...・
"Oh, um...! Auntie, even if I get such nice clothes, I'll say, 'Mother-in-law, Momoki-chan!!' ”
"... (furfur)"
Momenoki tries to resist, but is interrupted by his mother when he is asked to correct the way he calls him.
I asked for help, but my mother, who was like this, could only be stopped by an angry father, so all I could do was shake my head in vain.
And when I told Kirito and the others that I was living with Yuuki...
"... Seriously?"
Kirito is at a loss for words...
"Good job, Yuuki!"
“It was good, Yuuki-san, Mom!”
Asuna replied with a smile. Yui-chan, who was looking at Asuna who was worried about Yuuki, also said so with her relieved expression .
"... you, you've often thought about that..."
“Haa~… Mr. Fong, you're amazing, aren't you?”
"... uh, living together!?
“…Is Fong always like this?”
“Sinon… Fong is generally like this.”
I couldn't help but smile wryly at Liz, Silica, Leafa, Sinon, and Egil's reactions. By the way, Klein...
"...that's good, Fong."
"...Ah, thank you."
He was smiling and saying words of praise, but I felt terrified at the sight of Klein, who had tears of blood running down his eyes and something hidden behind his back.
It seems that Klein tried to act like an adult and put up with a lot of things...if possible, I wanted him to hide it completely.
Time flew by like that, and March was about to end.
Returnees' school is approaching spring break, and it's only three days until Motsuki's discharge from the hospital.
"...Hey, Otoya-kun. I'm sorry, call me even though it's spring break."
"No, because this is what I asked for."
Unlike before, Kikuoka-san didn't call me in a loud voice, just waved his hand.
“Well then, this is the matter that was requested.
All the necessary documents are in it... but most of them are like instructions, so you only need to get a signature for the documents you have to submit... and this is April.
"Thank you for everything, Kikuoka-san."
"No no... you and Kirigaya-kun owe me something in the death gun case. Besides, this case was a good story for me too... it's a win-win. please don't do it
After receiving the envelope and paper bag, I thanked Mr. Kikuoka. Mr. Kikuoka was laughing, but his expression was that he was nothing.
“Even so.
"...Otoya-kun, is it just your imagination that you sometimes feel wicked?"
Kikuoka-san involuntarily smiled wryly at my words.
"But I was surprised... when you approached me about this. Is she that important to you?"
"...it's an invasion of privacy."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Mr. Kikuoka answered my scornful eyes with a smile... This person also has a big nerve...
"Well, excuse me, but I'm about to go. Actually, I have plans after this."
"Yes, thank you very much."
"... Oh, that's right. I almost forgot."
Kikuoka remembered something and took out a document from his bag.
"····this is?"
"I thought you and Kirigaya-kun should know about it. It's a document related to the basic design of the Medicuboid...can you show it to Kirigaya-kun?"
"I understand"
I received the materials from Mr. Kikuoka and briefly read them .
"...Perhaps, I may ask you guys again, but then I'll ask you."
"...?... Yes, I understand."
"Well then"
Saying that, Mr. Kikuoka finished the payment and left the store... For some reason, Mr. Kikuoka's last words sounded meaningful to me.
"Heh... the design materials for the Medicuboid..."
The next day, during lunch break, I showed Kazuto and Asuna the materials that Mr. Kikuoka had given me. By the way, Momenoki is not here because it is the last check-up .
"To show us such an important document... Kikuoka-san, do you really trust us?"
"... Come on. I don't really know what that person is thinking."
"...Well, there was a basic design proposal from the outside for Medicuboid."
"Yeah. I thought it was designed by a medical maker or something, but it seems that's not the case. That person's name is also listed on the last page. If I remember correctly, it seems to be Rinko Kamishiro. ”
Next to Kazuto, Asuna looked over the materials and pointed out a point that caught her attention. Yesterday, I read the document at home and told him the name of the design proponent .
"...!?"
"... Kazuto?"
Kazuto, who was looking through the materials, looked at me with a surprised expression on his face.
To my surprise, I called out involuntarily.
"...I know that person."
""···eh?""
"I've met... the man who took care of Heathcliff's body during dives. We were in the same lab with him, working on full dive techniques... I mean... The real designer of the Medicuboid is.. ."
"... leader"
"... Kayaba, Akihiko..."
Kazuto's words made me and Asuna understand why Kazuto was surprised.
"...Perhaps, I may ask you guys again, but I'll ask you then."
Kikuoka-san's words crossed my mind... Maybe the reason I handed over this document was to teach Kazuto about this... I took that document. I had a bad feeling while watching it.
Three months later... I didn't know that my intuition would be right...
And the day before Motoki's discharge from the hospital...
"Here we come... Yuuki."
"...yes"
At Yuuki's request, I was on the 24th floor... on the small island we resumed. As I waited for that person with Yuuki, I could see the player flying with the water fairy's characteristic light blue wings, Asuna.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
"Um...Thank you for coming, Asuna."
“So…what are you talking about?
“…Yes.
"What do you want to give...?"
"Umm... I'll make it right now, so wait a minute."
Saying that, Yuuki operated the window and pulled out his sword. I keep my distance and line up next to Asuna.
「「「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」」」
We quietly watched Yuuki concentrate. That's when the wind blew and one petal fell into the lake.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Yuuki unleashed a sword skill towards Oki. Yuuki's full power was put into each blow.
“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!”
The final blow was released along with Yuuki's roar. At that moment, an explosion of elemental aftermath occurred, and a gust of wind hit me and Asuna. Covering his face with his hands, he waited for the smoke to clear...a piece of parchment was completed in front of Yuuki.
"I want Asuna to receive it... my OSS."
"...can you give me...?"
Yuuki grabbed the parchment and walked over to Asuna, handing out the parchment...the lore of OSS. Asuna was surprised by Yuuki's sudden words.
"...I want Asuna to receive it."
"B-but... you're better than me...!?"
Asuna said that and looked at me. In response, Yuuki quietly shook her head.
"...Because of Asuna, I want you to accept it. Strong, kind, and warm...my other sister...I want Asuna to accept it."
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
"... Yuuki decided that. That's why I thought it would be nice if Asuna inherited this OSS from me."
"...Do you get it"
After hearing Yuuki and I's words, Asuna was convinced and opened the window to receive the OSS. Seeing that, Yuuki let out a sigh of relief.
"...Haa...Actually, ever since I thought I wouldn't be able to come to this world, I've been thinking of having someone take over. But...now it's different."
"...Wrong?"
"Yeah... I hope this technique will protect Asuna... at any time, in any situation... I hope my feelings will reach Asuna... yes. When I thought about it, I wanted you to receive it when I was in the best condition and could perform the best technique."
"... Yuuki"
"From tomorrow, I'll be living at Fon's house, but today was the last time I could use the Medicuboid to come to ALO...I'm sorry for being selfish. Hey... sister
"... Yuuki!"
At those words, Asuna hugged Yuuki.
"...it hurts, sister."
"I'm sorry... but if I don't do this, Yuuki will go somewhere..."
"... it's okay. I'm here..."
Yuuki hugged Asuna back in tears as she replied. I watched quietly so as not to disturb the spectacle .
“If Hwon is watching over me, I think I can show the best technique.”
I came here after being told...
(...that kind of worry seems unnecessary)
That's what I thought while looking at Asuna, who cared deeply for Yuuki.
Next time: SAO ~Phantom War Demon~
···let's go! lotus···
Final Episode "Tomorrow Created with Yuuki"
It was a foreshadowing and the story of the inheritance of the Mother's Rosary.
In the end, I thought about why I should let Asuna inherit it, and after a lot of thought, I ended up with the bond between Yuuki and Asuna
. way, the final title is taken from the final title of Kamen Rider Build. So, I was thinking about such a notice.
While watching it, I hope you will wait for the final episode.
See you in the final episode.
