"Ah!"
When the salute sounded, apart from Rozen and Kirito, the two girls were startled and let out a small cry of surprise, which made Kirito laugh at the side.
Rozen, on the other hand, was still in the position of opening the door. His body was covered in countless ribbons and golden confetti that floated down from midair. He narrowed his eyes and watched the situation inside the door.
The scene in front of Rozen was no different from what he had imagined.
There were only four tables and a bar counter in the wooden shop. It looked cramped, but it gave off a comfortable vibe.
However, this shop was currently filled with people.
People either cheered loudly or clapped their hands continuously. Some even whistled loudly, making the atmosphere seem quite lively.
And they were cheering like that.
"Guild Master!"
"Guild Leader Rozen!"
"You've finally come! Guild Leader! "
"Long time no see!"
"I've waited a long time for you!"
People cheered for Rozen and looked at Rozen with great joy.
Rozen recognized them almost immediately. Even though they were somewhat different from in-game, they were all people he knew.
There were beta testers who were once sheltered by Rozen in Red Wings.
There were top players in the Clearers who listened to Rozen's every word.
There were some lower-middle-level players who received Rozen's help once.
There were also players who knew Rozen and fought side by side with him.
A large number of people gathered in the narrow shop, cheering and clapping for Rozen's arrival.
"You guys …"
Rozen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
On the other hand, Naoba was dumbfounded.
"Why … why are there so many people?"
Naoba couldn't believe what she saw.
It couldn't be helped. The shop was indeed a little narrow, and there were a lot of people inside, but no one complained. Instead, they looked at Rozen with excitement, and they were happy to see Rozen again.
Yasna also didn't expect so many people to come, but then she smiled sweetly.
"Everyone came for Rozen, right?"
Yasna accepted this phenomenon as a matter of course.
"That's right." Kirito also nodded and said with a smile: "Knowing that Aoga will come, even if they are not in Tokyo, they all came together, just to see Aoga again."
"To see Aoka bro?" Naoba was stunned and said: "Just because of this?"
Asuna, who was standing by the side, spoke in a gentle voice.
"Don't doubt it, this is the popularity of your brother."
Yasna looked at Rozen who was bathed in the cheers of the crowd and smiled proudly.
"Many people here have been redeemed because of Rozen's existence. Some were boycotted because they were beta testers, some were in life-threatening danger, some were living a hard life as middle and lower level players, and some fought under Rozen's command. In the end, because of Rozen's help, they found a place to live in SAO."
If it wasn't for that, how could Rozen become the leader of the clearers and be regarded as the hope of SAO?
A lot of people were conquered by Rozen because of his actions and actions, and they were willing to worship him.
Especially the people in Red Wings. They should have been hated by everyone, but because of Rozen's actions, they were able to hold their heads high in front of everyone. Besides, Rozen was the guild leader, and he was the one who commanded the clearers the most. It was impossible for them not to worship Rozen and be conquered by Rozen.
That being the case, knowing that Rozen would come, even if the shop was small and crowded, they would still come.
Just to see Rozen again.
"Don't you already know that Rozen is not only the leader of the clearers in SAO, but he is also loved by many people?"
Asuna put her hands on Naoya's shoulders and gently pushed her forward so that she could get a better look at Rozen and the fanaticism of the crowd in the store. She couldn't help but smile.
"Is this proof?"
Yasna said.
Hearing that, Naoba was speechless.
Although Naoba already knew that Rozen had a high status in SAO, it was just hearsay.
Hearsay was hearsay, but seeing it with one's own eyes was more convincing.
So, until this moment, Naoba realized how much Rozen was loved by the people.
Even now, the people in the shop were still shouting desperately.
"Leader! Do you remember me? "
"I'm here! Leader! "
"Look at me! Look at me! Leader! "
"Leader! Look at me! "
"I am …"
"I am …"
One by one, they squeezed in front of Rozen and told Rozen who they were.
Among them, there was even …
"I am Keita! Leader Rozen! "
"I am Wasamaru!"
"I am Tetsuo!"
"I am Ducker!"
The four men who were shouting at Rozen were the members of Moonlit Black Cats.
"I … I am Lucky! Leader Rozen! "
A girl who was being protected nervously said to Rozen, but her eyes were constantly looking at Kirito, and her eyes were filled with joy.
"You're here too, Lucky."
Kirito was also surprised.
But …
"I said, I'm here too. Don't you see?"
With a rather dissatisfied voice, a girl in casual clothes and a miniskirt came to Kirito unhappily.
"You are … Liz …?"
Kirito was surprised.
"Liz!"
Asuna also revealed an expression of pleasant surprise when she looked at him.
The girl was Yasna's friend from SAO, the blacksmith who forged the Deep Blue for Rozen, Lizbeth.
"Yasna!"
Liz's gloomy expression turned into a bright smile. She threw herself at Asuna and hugged her.
"Liz!"
Asuna's face lit up with joy.
The two hadn't seen each other since they cleared SAO. Now that they met again in the real world, it was indeed worth celebrating.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who were happy.
"Rozen -bro …!"
A joyful voice sounded in front of Rozen.
A petite girl squeezed herself in front of Rozen, looking at Rozen with tears in her eyes.
"You are … Celica …?"
Rozen recognized her immediately.
It was the girl Rozen met in the Middle Floor. Just like Rozen, she was a rare Beast Tamer with a Tamed Monster named Pina. She was also known as the Dragon Envoy, Celica.
"I finally meet you, Rozen -bro …!"
Celica threw herself into Rozen's arms with tears in her eyes.
"Haha."
Rozen hugged the little girl and was surprised.
The joyful atmosphere continued in the shop.
The people who had fought side by side for two years had finally met again.
