Ministry of General Affairs Integrated Communications Base Bureau Advanced Communication Network Revitalization Division.
In the Ministry of General Affairs, it was called Imaginary Space Management Division in Communication Network, or Imaginary Division for short.
In short, it was a management organization established by the state and affiliated to the Ministry of General Affairs.
Its mission was to monitor the VR world that was currently in a state of chaos and disorder.
And the man in front of him, named Kikuoka Seijiro, was a senior civil servant belonging to the second group of the imaginary division, an agent assigned by the state to monitor the network.
On November 6, 2022, after the Sword God Online Virtual Reality Online Role-Playing Game went into beta and became a death game, the Ministry of General Affairs Integrated Communications Base Bureau Advanced Communication Network Revitalization Division immediately set up an emergency response team to deal with SAO's incident.
Kikuoka Seijiro was the team leader of this team.
Two years ago, after learning about the death game, he was the one responsible for organizing personnel and transporting SAO Players to a nearby hospital.
It could be said that because of his actions, many SAO Players could live until now.
Even Rozen was sent to the hospital by his people in the ambulance.
Of course, this man knew how special Rozen's identity in SAO was. He also knew that Rozen saved all the Players in SAO, and he mysteriously disappeared for two months. That's why Rozen appeared here.
Rozen looked at the very professional smile on his face, glanced at the hand that was extended in front of him, but he didn't shake it.
"I heard from Kirito that you are the one who provided the information about Yasna's current situation to him, and you also took the initiative to provide me the information about her staying in this hospital, right?"
Rozen asked straightforwardly.
"Yes." Kikuoka Seijiro still maintained the smile on his face, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He directly withdrew his hand and said: "After all, it's your request to become a hero. After I learned from my team members that you have this request, I naturally have to satisfy you."
"Cut the crap." Rozen said bluntly: "You satisfied my request and are willing to help me apply for a visitation permit, is it so that I can cooperate with your investigation?"
Kikuoka Seijiro's expression slightly stiffened.
Immediately, Kikuoka Seijiro put away his business-like smile, scratched his face, and said helplessly.
"As expected of the hero who saved thousands of people and led the Clearers to clear the game. It seems that I've underestimated you. I thought you would be easy to deal with given your young age."
Kikuoka Seijiro spoke bluntly.
Obviously, after realizing that Rozen was not easy to fool, Kikuoka Seijiro stopped pretending.
"As you said, because of your special identity and experience, the Ministry of General Affairs is very concerned about your situation. They hope that you can provide them with useful information."
Kikuoka Seijiro said.
"According to the testimony of the other SAO survivors, in the last battle, only you and Kayaba Akihiko, whose ID is Heathcliff, were forcibly transferred to an unknown place. The battle between you and him, the process, and the result, no one except you knows."
In that case, regarding Rozen's return, the Ministry of General Affairs immediately sent personnel, hoping to inquire the key information of the final battle from Rozen's mouth.
"Please cooperate. According to your testimony, not only can we find a way to save the 300 players who have not yet awakened, but we can also find the whereabouts of Kayaba Akihiko and arrest this criminal."
Kikuoka Seijiro pushed his glasses up and said in a serious tone.
It was for this reason that Kikuoka Seijiro needed to come here in person when his team couldn't get any useful information from Rozen.
To this
"I know your conditions." Rozen said calmly: "Take me to see Yasna, I will tell you all the information related to Kayaba Akihiko."
Kikuoka Seijiro's expression relaxed.
"Since that's the case, please come with me."
Kikuoka Seijiro turned around and walked toward the hospital.
Rozen didn't hesitate and directly followed.
Under such circumstances, Kikuoka Seijiro used his position and identity to apply for a visit pass from the hospital.
If it weren't for him, Rozen wouldn't have been able to get permission to visit Asuna since he wasn't related to her, and he wouldn't even know the location of the hospital where Asuna was kept. He could only use his own means to find Asuna and visit her in secret.
Now, with Kikuoka Seijiro's recommendation, Rozen undoubtedly saved a lot of trouble.
"I have already notified Miss Yuki's family. They said that you can visit her. Perhaps they hope that you can wake her up even though they know it is impossible."
Kikuoka Seijiro came to a ward, took out his pass, swiped it on the authentication device on the door, and opened the door.
"Miss Yuki is inside. You go in and see her."
Hearing Kikuoka Seijiro's words, Rozen nodded and walked into the ward.
"Chi!"
The electronic door behind him immediately closed.
A refreshing floral fragrance filled the entire room and entered Rozen's nose.
Rozen raised his head and looked forward.
He saw that in the depths of the wide ward, there was a curtain separating the space.
Rozen suddenly stepped forward and opened the curtain.
The next second, the scene behind the curtain entered Rozen's eyes.
In front of Rozen, there was the latest fully automatic care bed.
The bed was made of soft glue and covered with a white and clean quilt. The sunlight outside the window shone on it, exuding a faint light.
And on this bed, the girl was lying there.
Her bright chestnut hair was scattered on the mattress.
Her transparent and tender skin didn't look like a patient at all.
There was a trace of crimson on her cheeks.
She was wearing a simple hospital gown, covering the girl's exquisite body.
She was lying there.
She was as beautiful as he once saw in SAO.
However, at this moment, she didn't have the cold and heroic spirit that people called Flash. She only had a delicate and ethereal feeling as if she could die at any time.
She was sleeping soundly.
On her head, a dark blue helmet covered her head.
The three LED lights emitted blue light, and sometimes even flashed like stars.
That was proof that NERvGear was receiving messages normally.
In other words, when everyone else returned to this world, the girl was still imprisoned in the virtual world and couldn't return.
Looking at the girl who was sleeping quietly without any reaction to his arrival, Rozen seemed to be able to see the scene in the forest on the 22nd floor of Aincrad, in front of the cabin that he regarded as his home, she was waving at him and smiling happily at him.
"Rozen!"
The sweet voice woke up in Rozen's mind.
Rozen couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Yasna"
After decades, Rozen saw Yasna again.
In a less pleasant way.
