Episode 5 "BoB Final Selection Begins"
In the last time, Fon's words were a little broken, so it will be a scene where Kirito and BoB challenge the final round.
Whoops? I think there's a scene called that, but don't worry about it...it's a flag.
Then go ahead!
Also, it's a time when the owner has a bit of a hard time (laughs).
Once again, we descended into the world of GGO.
However, unlike yesterday, the world of GGO was quite lively. That must be true... BoB's advertisements are everywhere... I thought, but for some reason, I felt a terrible gaze from the people around me.
"Hey, isn't that Kirito-chan!?"
"Oh! GGO's star swordsman who cuts to pieces with his light sword!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu good!!
"And next to you is one of the Dark Horses, Fon the Shield Killer!?"
80% of the time, Kirito seems to be the reason why he's getting so much attention...or rather, wasn't he the one who said something dangerous just now?! ? Or rather, shield-killing, what is it! ? Could it be because I threw a shield at the opponent in yesterday's finals?! ?
"Let's go now, Fong."
"···Let's do so"
I agreed to Kirito's proposal by nodding weakly.
We (forcibly) ignored the rumors and arrived at the Governor-General's Office. Then, there was a familiar girl with light blue hair, Sinon.
"Yo, Sinon" "Hello, Sinon"
"... Hello, Kirito, Fon."
She went straight to the registration terminal. Kirito and I panicked at her simple response and chased after her.
"Ah, Um, Sinon...?"
"..."
Sinon, who was operating the terminal, ignored Kirito.
“Sinon-san?”
"..."
“Miss Sinon…?”
"............"
"Sinon's nee..."
"Stop...! I can hear you...you just finished your greetings, right? Do you still need something?!"
"No, no... there's still time until the finals..."
"...if it's all right, why don't we exchange information? Even Sinon wouldn't like me if he loses halfway through, right?"
「………………Haa……Well, it’s fine.」
"sorry···"
Approval seems to have been obtained.
"Anyway, I guess you're just giving me a lecture on information."
"Ah, ahaha..."
Kirito and I couldn't help but smile wryly at that point.
""Oh...!""
After completing the entry for the final round, I took the elevator with Sinon to the venue, where the players were showing excitement. Among them, there was a cowboy player who was interviewing a player who seemed to be in the finals and talking with his comrades.
"Amazing"
"It's like a festival."
"Yeah... the finals are always like this."
Sinon agreed with Kirito and I. He continued walking around the venue, looking for an empty seat...
"Hey, it's Kirito-chan!"
"The Photon Sword cuts down the enemy..."
"Cool beauty berserker... nice!"
"No no, it's Sinon-chan after all!"
“I want Sinon to shoot me too!”
"Who is the man near the two of you?"
… I can't hear, I can't hear … As I was walking while thinking about such things, Kirito, who was looking away, bumped into a male player. However, on the contrary, he apologized and was given way. I couldn't help but smile wryly at that scene, but...
"you guys··········"
Saying that, Kirito turned around...
"Cheer for us!!!"
"...What the hell are you doing!!!!!!"
Without hesitation, he threw Kirito to the ground with a small shield.
"Oh, my Kirito-chan!?"
“He will kill me!!!”
"Wait... that guy is a shield killer!?"
"This Dark Horse, the shield killer Fon!?"
noisy! Even though you treated me like a mob until just now! ? Is my existence only a shield? ! !
"...it's hard, you too."
Sinon was sending me a comforting look.
Anyway, 20 minutes left until the BoB finals
“Then, in the final round, the Battle Royale will have 30 people randomly placed on the same map, and if they meet, they will fight, and the last one wins… That’s fine.”
"... you, didn't you read the email that the management sent to the participants...?"
"A, ahaha..."
Kirito smiled wryly at Sinon's exasperated face. Well, neither me nor Kirito registered an address, let alone an address... I didn't get an email... I pretended to pretend to be a poker face so that they wouldn't realize it.
"The final round is just as Kirito said. The starting position is random, and the distance is at least 1,000 meters, so there's no chance of a sudden encounter battle. The main round map is a circle with a diameter of 10 kilometers. There are mountains, forests, deserts, and rivers. It's a composite map, so depending on your equipment and status, the battle situation will change greatly."
“Hey, wait a minute… 10 kilometers!?”
"... it's spacious"
I tried imagining it, but all I could think of was a ridiculously huge stage. It's going to be harder than I thought.
"If it's that big, won't you be able to meet anyone? If things go wrong, you won't run into anyone until the end of the tournament...?"
"There's no need to worry about that. Will a terminal called <Satellite Scan> be automatically distributed to the participants?"
"what is that?"
"Once every 15 minutes, a surveillance satellite passes over the sky. At that time, the location information of all players will be displayed on everyone's terminals. If you tap a point on the map, you'll even see their names. Tsukiyo"
"...In other words, if you don't change your location every 15 minutes, the enemy will target you."
"Such that"
Listening to Kirito and Sinon's exchange, I hammered the rules into my head. Satellite location information?
It's like a so-called GPS.
"But if that's the rule, wouldn't snipers be at a disadvantage? Are they hiding in the bushes and holding their rifles all the time?"
"Not really. One shot, one kill, and fifteen minutes to travel a kilometer is more than enough... This time, I'll shoot a Hecate bullet right between your eyebrows. "
"... Oh, be gentle."
"In other words, once the match starts, find and defeat the enemy, rely on location information every 15 minutes, and keep fighting while checking who's alive..."
"...That's right. Enough lectures."
Sinon nodded satisfactorily at my summary and tried to leave her seat.
"Wow, sorry... can I have another one?"
"···What?"
In a panic, Kirito calls out. Sinon, who was stopped, sat down in a bad mood.
"...today's finals...how many players Sinon doesn't know?"
"... Huh! What does that mean?"
"Please...! It's important..."
"... Well, it's fine... Well, most of them are familiar faces. There are some people I've never met, but they're famous people in GGO... I don't know 4 People...
"Bayoken X", "Pale Rider", "Kobold"...and this is "Sterben"...
Is it "Steven"? ”
"...I see. Thank you for your help."
"No···"
There's a Death Gun among them... when I think about it, my vocabulary involuntarily becomes stronger, and I seem to have overwhelmed Sinon.
"...Sorry, I heard something strange."
"... Uh, um... hey, could it have something to do with Kirito's strange behavior during the preliminaries yesterday?"
Sinon asked me and Kirito's change in attitude about yesterday's qualifying. Kirito and I exchanged glances and decided to explain to Sinon.
"... Oh, that's right..."
“…Yesterday, we were approached by a guy who used to play VRMMO together.
"...friends, were they?"
"No... he's an enemy. We've definitely killed each other before, but I can't even remember his name..."
"Uh... did you kill each other? Enemies?... Does that mean that you had a conflict due to a difference in way of thinking...?"
Sinon reflexively asked Kirito's words.
"No... it's a real life-threatening killing... he... they did something absolutely unforgivable..."
"... we can never understand each other... it was impossible to resolve it through discussion..."
"...I have no regrets about what I did. However, I tried to forget about it and turn away from the responsibility I should be chasing...but...I have to finish running away. '
Kirito looked at Sinon and continued. There was no confusion in those eyes.
"... Ah, I'm sorry for saying something weird. Forget it..."
"..."Can you still pull the trigger...?"
"Huh...!?"
Kirito gasped at those words.
"Kirito, Fon...maybe you guys..."
"·····Oh"
"That's right, we're the so-called SAO survivors... and he's..."
"...I'm sorry..."
"dont 'worry···"
That's how I responded to Sinon's apology. Kirito also shook his head to show his intention.
"...Kirito"
"...Yeah?...Sinon?"
Kirito and I involuntarily tilted our heads at Sinon's determination.
"... Let's go soon... We need time to check our equipment and concentrate."
"Ah," "Yes."
Nodding at those words, we started moving.
Heading to the waiting room for the final round in the elevator
The three of us didn't say anything, and silence reigned over the place. It was Sinon who broke the silence.
"I understand that you have your own circumstances, but..."
Saying that, Sinon held a pistol on Kirito's back and continued.
"The promise you made to me is a different story. I'll definitely pay back what I owe you for yesterday's finals...even Hwon...you guys are definitely going to beat me...that's why, if someone other than me hits you... I won't forgive you."
"...I understand. Until I meet you, I will definitely survive."
"... that promise... I will definitely keep it."
"·····Thank you"
At that moment, the elevator arrived and the doors opened. Sinon just left without saying a word.
We also moved to the players' waiting room. We heard an announcement that there were five minutes remaining, and we were doing final checks.
"For the time being, the first objective is to join."
"Yeah... we should check each other's positions during the first scan and go from there."
Kirito nodded at my words and answered.
"... Von... Who do you think is Death Gun?"
"... To be honest, I don't know... If you're judging me by name, it's Pale Rider..."
"Pale Rider...?"
"Yeah. If I remember correctly, it was the knight who governs death in John's Apocalypse...well, I doubt it's such an easy name..."
"... for the time being, there is no change in being careful."
"... Coming soon."
By the time I finished the final check, the remaining time was less than 30 seconds.
"phone"
"···yes?"
"... don't lose in the middle, okay?"
"... Oh! See you later."
I hit my fist with Kirito and regained my spirit. I will definitely find out the identity of the death gun...
With that determination, we were transferred to the battlefield.
Wherever he goes, he struggles (laughs).
Kirito also has a pretty pestilent constitution, but in the case of the owner, he has a constitution that draws the poor lottery one after another with a wonderful probability.
