Episode 4 "The Revived Ghost"
Fong, an encounter with Death Gun. And about Kirito's monologue in the
main story, I will explain in more detail in the postscript and setting about the skills of the owner.
"You... are you real...? "
In those words, I read his true intentions and calmed down a bit.
"...genuine? What do you mean?"
``You don't know what it means, do you? ''
"...Even if you suddenly say that, I don't understand."
『・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・』
With a smile on my face, I responded to his words while being cautious. He seemed a little confused by my reaction.
"I saw the match... Um, how to use the shield... Where did you learn it? "
“Before coming to this game, I used to use shields in other games as well… so it's not against the rules, is it?”
"...that long-haired man was using a sword...you don't use it...? "
"... No, everyone has their own play style... Or do you think you can't do anything unless you use a sword?"
『・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・』
He fell silent at my words. However, I could tell from the atmosphere that he was irritated by my provocation.
"... you too... and that guy... if it's real... I'll kill you someday."
While saying that, he deliberately showed me the gap in his glove.
There was a tattoo that he didn't want to see the most... the emblem of the "Laughing Coffin" was engraved.
Just like that, Boromanto disappeared without a sound.
I took a deep breath there.
(There's no doubt he's a death gun... and those words and tattoos... there's no doubt, he's an SAO survivor.)
Apparently, my concerns were hit in the worst possible direction. What's more, he knows me and Kirito... which means that I've met him once... It was when I was trying to remember who he was when I was in SAO...
"Hey, are you okay?"
"T-shi, Sinon...?"
When he suddenly called out to me and turned around, Sinon had a worried expression on his face.
"... Ah, it's okay. I was just thinking about it."
"Yeah...that's good, you seem normal."
"What do you mean?"
"That's... that guy."
Looking in the direction Sinon was looking at, there was Kirito's figure on the display, going on a suicide attack, ignoring the bullets that flew at him.
"Hey, what happened to him?"
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
I couldn't respond to Sinon's words.
As it was, I continued to win the preliminaries. My bullet bash tactic repelled all of the opponent's bullets, and continued to bombard the opponent with my specialty short range.
In the final, when he faced a sniper-type opponent, he had a tough fight, but he threw his shield in a surprise attack, causing the opponent's confusion, and managed to narrowly win with two-handed fire from his handgun and machine gun And now, I was watching the final between Kirito and Sinon .
If it's a straight line fight, then Sinon has the advantage...
As I thought about that, it seemed that the game was about to begin.
Apparently, they were transferred to the edge of the stage. Sinon hid herself in the bus and seems to have shifted to sniping. Kirito on the other hand...
(Oi oi oi... Are you insane...!?)
Kirito was walking straight. I can't hear the expression on his face...
The current Kirito had no will to fight at all. At that moment, Sinon's sniper missed and a nearby car exploded. Sinon continued to fire, but none of the bullets hit Kirito, and Kirito didn't even move.
Seemingly frustrated, Sinon approached Kirito.
"...!......!"
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
I can't hear the voice through the monitor, but Sinon was crying.
Kirito seemed to wake up at those words.And it seems that it has become a duel method.Kirito drew his bullet from his own pistol and flipped it into the air with his finger.The bullets were slowly falling, Kirito was readying his light sword , and Sinon was peering into the scope.
And when the bullet hits...
"Hey hey...that's a lie"
Kirito split Sinon's bullet in half with his light sword. No, I've seen the tactics of slashing bullets, but I can't believe that he cuts even the bullets of an anti-material rifle... his reflexes are monsters.
With that thought in mind, Sinon surrendered, as it seemed that the matter had been resolved.
There seems to have been a quarrel, but it seems that Kirito has safely advanced to the finals.
Unknown to others, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"good work"
"...thank you very much"
"Phew..."
After that, we parted with Sinon, logged out at the inn, and returned to the real world.
That's how we responded to Mr. Aki's kind words. After confirming the time for tomorrow, I left the hospital room, but...
“………………”
Kazuto looked strange... No, I know the reason...
"...Death Gun, Kazuto."
"····lotus"
"I met him too... he's definitely"
"Ah... an SAO survivor."
Kazuto agreed with my words.
"...What happened with him? By any chance, do you know him?"
"...No, no, Fon...I'm...!"
Kazuto shook his head and answered sadly. Seeing that figure, I thought I couldn't let Kazuto go home.
"... do you want to change places?"
I left the hospital and moved to a bench at the bus stop. The last bus has already left, so I won't disturb anyone.
"Look"
"...bad"
I handed Kazuto black coffee, sat next to him, and opened the lid of the lemon tea.
"I forgot"
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
"Today, when I met him, Death Gun...it reminded me of SAO.
I killed 4 people in that world... 2 of them in the "Laughing Coffin" subjugation battle... and..."
“Cladiel, huh…”
"Oh... and Heathcliff...
But I completely forgot about killing those four people this past year.
I don't know their real names, and I don't even remember the faces of the people I killed in the subjugation battle."
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
Kazuto said while the cold wind was blowing.
"... von... do you still remember the person you killed?"
That's what I was asked. From those eyes, I could somehow grasp Kazuto's... Kirito's true intentions.
"...no...I don't remember how many people I killed."
"...!"
Kirito's eyes widened at those words.
“At that time… To be honest, I was also swinging my sword frantically midway through that subjugation battle. I don't remember it at all. Before I knew it, the only thing left in my hands was the feeling that I had killed someone..."
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
Kirito listened quietly to my words.
"But Kirito. I don't think I can ever forget that..."
"eh...?"
"...No matter what the reason, no matter what the circumstances, the fact that I killed someone won't change... even if it's the right thing to do.
But when I say I won't forget it, it's not about regret or guilt...I think it's about not forgetting what I was able to protect, and what I was responsible for."
"...responsibility..."
"In that sense, he and we are absolutely different.
With those who just enjoy killing people, that way of thinking..."
「・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・」
"That's what you are right now, right? If you're trying to remember like that, doesn't that mean you're shouldering the responsibility? I should have swung my sword to protect you."
"...important...things"
"...and if he's an SAO survivor, a remnant of 'Laughing Coffin'... and if he's really killing people from the game... then we have to stop it. You can't, right?"
"...yes, that's right."
When I finished drinking the completely cold lemon tea and looked at Kazuto's face, I felt somehow refreshed.
"Thank you, lotus."
"Oh"
Seeing that he changed his name back to his real name, it seems that he was able to help Kazuto a little. That's what I thought, and when I was about to leave my seat, I decided to ask what came to my mind.
"Come to think of it, what were you talking about with Sinon in the final of the preliminary round?"
“Ah, I think Ren saw it too, but it was because I was playing the match with that attitude…
That's why I was told not to cut corners...even after it was over, they asked me how I could become so strong...even though I'm actually this weak."
"... No, Kazuto is strong, isn't he?"
"...I see... Well, that's what I was talking about..."
"I see... But even so, cutting through bullets from an anti-material rifle... I wouldn't normally think about it."
"Eh...because there's a prediction line, so if it's just a matter of slashing, even a lotus..."
"You're the only one...!"
When Kazuto was told a ridiculous theory, he interrupted Kazuto's words and strongly objected .
"Then how did Lotus fight?"
“…Didn’t you watch my match?”
"Ah, ahaha... bad."
That reaction made me shake my head. Well, I became a Berserker halfway through...
"I approached it while deflecting bullets with my shield, and slammed the gun into it."
"... aren't you with me...?"
"That's not true... I used a shield skill... GGO had a skill similar to SAO's."
That's right... how did I come up with such a strategy?
That's because when I converted and looked at the status, some skills were reflected. Most of them were just useless skills, but the only difference was the shield skill that I had maxed proficiency at. Among them, the skill "Auto Bash".. This is a system that automatically fires bullets by aligning the bullets from the player you recognize with the prediction line, and if you hold your shield, the system will assist you.
As expected, an anti-material rifle like Sinon's doesn't work, but if you can get close without slowing down, the experience you've cultivated in SAO will come in handy, I explained to Kazuto.
"You are also a monster."
I was told with a straight face... I don't understand.
the next day
"Sorry, straight leaves found out! "
After receiving an apology email from Kazuto, we were a little depressed that it was confirmed that Asuna and the others would be able to see today's tournament, but we came to the hospital to dive into GGO again. .
"Hey welcome!"
"Thank you for your help today, Aki-san."
"Thank you"
"...it seems to be fine"
""eh?""
Aki's words unintentionally rang out in surprise.
"Well, since you came back yesterday, Kirigaya-kun was really dark, and Otoya-kun looked a bit scared too...so I thought I'd give you some counseling, but... today is two. It seems that everyone has returned to normal."
"...that's right" "...sorry"
It seems that yesterday's events also appeared in my expression without realizing it.
After thanking Kazuto for his concern, I set up the electrodes in the same way as yesterday and prepared.
"Maybe I'll be back around ten o'clock."
"Then I'll go."
“Yes.
"Huh!?"
Aki-san's words unintentionally shook me... those black glasses... remember...
While thinking so, we closed our eyes and uttered those words.
""Link Start""
Now, let's talk about the skills used by the owner, which appeared in the previous and main episodes.
Shield Derivative Skill “Phantom Shield” *The skill name has been slightly changed
Unique Skill. Fon, who isn't familiar with GGO, thinks it's one of the skills reflected in the conversion, and arbitrarily interprets it as a shield skill. The "Illusion Sword" used in SAO/ALO has been transformed into a skill for GGO.When a certain god of thieves (laughs) remodeled Fong's avatar so that it could be adapted to ALO, he set up the program so that he could also use the "Illusion Sword", and as a result, in GGO it took the form of a "Steel Shield". It was decided to change it (in other words, if the game to be converted is different, there is a possibility that it will change to another skill ... exactly, "Illusion Sword")
. is to automatically repel up to 5 bullets in a row when the shield is set up according to the prediction line. There is a cooldown, and you have to wait 3 seconds, so you can't activate it continuously. Conversely, if 3 seconds pass before the 5th shot is played, the count is reset,so the ability to decide whether to play manually or by the system is called into question.Also, if the bash is successful, regardless of whether it is manual or automatic, the decrease in shield durability will be nullified. In addition, hit damage with a shield is multiplied by 1.5 times, and a stun debuff is applied when the target is The type of shield does not matter.
Out-of-system skill A quick weapon change skill used by Quickdrawphone. A skill that Hwon, who often uses two or more weapons in ALO, has unconsciously used. a chance to counterattack.
And the fact that he possesses a cheat skill is discovered where the owner doesn't know.
By the way, there is a secret setting that the owner is unaware of this fact until the end of BoB, and will find out later when Sinon points it out.
