In ALO, logging out wasn't something that could be done at any time.
Although there were many times when players would need to log out of the game immediately, if the operating company did not impose any restrictions on logging out of the game, players could log out and log out of the game whenever they encountered a crisis and escape. Then, the game would be practically unplayable.
Therefore, most completely stealth-type games had certain log-out restrictions. Even ALO was no exception.
For example, players could only log out of the game when they were in the territory of their own race. However, outside of the territory, even if the player logged out of the game, their in-game character would remain on the scene for a period of time, becoming the target of other players' attacks.
Because of this, when players were in the wild, they would either find a safe place to log out, or they would take turns guarding each other, leaving one person to watch over them. Once their teammate logged out and the remaining characters disappeared, they would find a safe place to log out. This was to ensure absolute safety.
Now, Rozen and Lifa were in such a situation.
"I'll watch over you first." So Rozen volunteered. "Next time, it's your turn to watch over me."
Hearing this, Lifa thought for a moment. Then, as if she thought there was no need to worry about such a small matter, she nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Go."
After a short conversation, Lifa summoned the main window and began to operate. She found the option to log out and pressed it.
In the next second, Lifa closed her eyes and lowered her head as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
At this time, the player controlling the character "Lifa" had logged out. What was left was an empty shell.
Rozen looked at Lifa and smiled. Then, he turned around and looked around in boredom.
The player controlling "Lifa" returned to reality and woke up on the bed.
.....
"Woo …"
In a room filled with the fragrance of a young girl, the owner of the bed let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.
What entered the girl's eyes was the familiar ceiling with a large poster on it.
The image on the poster was a screenshot taken from the screen and enlarged.
Above, an Elf girl with a ponytail was flying in the boundless sky, dancing with a flock of birds.
That Elf girl was Lifa.
The girl was the player of the character "Lifa".
The girl with shoulder-length black hair and a voluptuous figure was called "Kiritani Naoha."
He was right.
Lifa was Naoba, Rozen's sister.
Naoba raised her hands and slowly removed the gaming console from her head.
It was a crown-shaped machine connected by two rings, which looked like an omnidirectional goggles. Compared to the NERvGear, which could cover the whole head, it was undoubtedly much thinner, and the feeling of restraint was much lower.
That was the second-generation stealth machine developed by RECT, AmuSphere.
After taking the machine down, Naoha stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before revealing a smile.
It was a beautiful, silly, and happy smile.
"Finally …" Naoha murmured: "Finally, I can meet my brother in the imaginary world and play a game together …"
Thinking of that, Naoha couldn't help hugging her cheeks and kicking her legs. She was so happy that she couldn't be happier.
If Kirito was here and saw this scene, he wouldn't believe his eyes, right?
His sister, who hated games from the beginning, now had her own gaming console that allowed her to play games in stealth mode for an entire year. This was something that he could never have imagined.
But that was the truth.
One year after the SAO incident, Naoha only came into contact with the game.
Before that, for Naoha, games were just a hateful object that took away her brother.
That wasn't the result of SAO's death game, but something that happened a long time ago.
Before the age of seven, Naoha, Rozen, and Kirito were very close to each other, to the point that the neighbors envied them.
Especially Rozen, who came to the Kirito family at the age of four and became their adopted son, took good care of Naoha, who was only three years old at that time.
At that time, his grandfather didn't know how to take care of children at all, and his parents often had to go out to work or even work overtime for a long time. Kirito was just a four-year-old kid, he didn't know anything at all.
Therefore, Rozen, who came to the Kirito family at that time, almost became the nanny of those two kids. He had to take care of them all day, which made Rozen complain a lot.
But because Rozen took care of Kirito and Naoha since they were young, Kirito and Naoha had a good relationship with Rozen.
At that time, Naoha followed behind Rozen, never leaving his side. It's conceivable how good the relationship between Rozen and Naoha was at that time.
Because of this, Naoha has always admired Rozen since she was a child.
Even though he was only one year older than her, he always took care of his younger brother and sister.
Even though he wasn't much older than her, his grades were always among the best, which was amazing.
In addition, Rozen was very smart, so the family always trusted him and let him take care of his younger brother and sister.
With such a perfect brother, Naoha, who was only a little girl at that time, naturally admired and longed for him.
Until the year she was seven, Rozen and Kirito gave up kendo together, leaving a deep gap between the three of them.
Especially after Rozen and Kirito gave up kendo, they indulged in computer games as if to satisfy the long-desired desire in their hearts. After pulling away from Naoha, who insisted on practicing kendo, the gap became deeper and deeper.
For Naoha, the world in which her brothers lived was really not something she could understand, but her brothers were so immersed in it that they embarked on a different path from her.
In view of this, Naoha had always had a huge sense of rejection for games, and the distance between the three of them became more and more distant.
Therefore, for Naoha, games were the thing that took away her brothers, and she hated it so much that she didn't have anything good to say to Rozen and Kirito, who were immersed in the game world.
In fact, Naoha always felt lonely and wanted to talk more with her brothers, especially Rozen. Naoha always wanted to follow behind him like when she was a child, playing with him, jumping with him, chatting happily, listening to him tell her stories about Chaldea and automaton. She also hoped that he could come to watch her games and cheer for her.
Unfortunately, all of this couldn't be achieved.
Then, that incident happened.
When she saw Rozen, who was tied up by many pipes and fell asleep with the hateful NERvGear on his head, Naoha cried for the first time in her life.
Maybe she would never talk to Rozen again.
When she thought of that, Naoha was extremely regretful and regretful.
Why didn't she try to close the distance between her and her brother earlier?
Why did she pull away from her brother for such a trivial matter?
In fact, we can be closer.
So, Naoha began to have the idea of understanding the world that Rozen and Kirito loved.
"I want to go to the game world …"
This idea changed the trajectory of Naoha's life.
