35th Floor, Wind Direction Chicken Pavilion.
On the first floor of the hotel, Celica was sitting in a corner with Pina in her arms.
On the side, many middle-level players had gathered, and as usual, they warmly invited Xili to join them.
"You should team up with us today, right?"
"No, you should team up with us."
"We're your best choice."
"Team up with us!"
As usual, the Players invited Celica to team up with them.
Looking at this scene, Xili's heart was filled with complex emotions.
If it was in the past, Celica would definitely feel smug when she saw so many people inviting her to team up with them.
However, after yesterday's battle that determined the future of SAO, Celica finally realized how arrogant she was in the past.
Compared to those who could decide the future of the Players and the world, Celica was just a little more famous among the mid-level Players, but she felt proud because of that. She was like a frog in a well.
Now, Xili realized this, and would no longer be proud of such a situation.
Therefore, Celica could only apologize to the Players.
"I'm sorry, I don't plan to go hunting today. I want to rest in the town."
That was the truth.
After yesterday's incident, Celica couldn't bring herself to go out of the Safe Zone.
At least not today.
Moreover, Celica had an appointment with someone else today.
Therefore, Xili could only apologize to the other party's invitation.
The surrounding players seemed to feel a little regretful, and some of their eyes even lit up as they sent out other invitations to Xili. For example, "Since you want to rest, I know a very good place, let's go there." It was obvious that they had ill intentions, but in the end, they all left after hearing Xili's apologetic voice.
Wind Direction Chicken Pavilion finally quieted down a little. It was no longer as noisy as before.
However, Celica could still hear the conversations around her.
"Did you hear?"
"Yesterday, the clearers shut down the tyrannical Orange Guild and Killer Guild."
"Even Laughing Coffin has been taken down. Aside from the guild leader who escaped, everyone else was captured and forced to disband."
"Really?"
"That's great!"
"However, I heard that the Clearers' Divine Dragon Alliance was disbanded yesterday."
"Really?"
"I didn't expect that even Divine Dragon Alliance …"
"Is it because of the battle with Laughing Coffin …?"
"No, the one leading the team is the Magician. How can we lose any members?"
"I heard that Divine Dragon Alliance's leader betrayed the Clearers and colluded with Laughing Coffin."
"Is … is it actually like this?"
"I knew this Divine Dragon Alliance wouldn't do anything good."
"There are a lot of Orange Players in Divine Dragon Alliance. Although they didn't kill anyone, they didn't hesitate to attack other Players for rare items."
"They deserve it, don't they?"
"I heard that not only was their leader Zahad forced to disband the guild, but he also had to leave behind all the guild's resources, including his equipment and items, for the clearers to use in the future. Moreover, he was thrown into the Town of Beginnings on the first floor. Although he still has a level, he lost all his belongings. I'm afraid he's going to live in shame for the rest of his life."
"After all, no idiot would want to team up with a guy who betrayed the Clearers and colluded with a Killer Guild."
"He deserves it."
One by one, the Players discussed such things.
Listening to these discussions, Celica's mood became even more complicated.
After all, Celica wasn't an outsider. She was a very important witness of this operation.
And this matter also occupied the headlines of various newspapers today, and it was talked about by Players all over the server.
If others knew that he had witnessed a very important part of this operation, what would they think?
They would definitely look at him with looks of surprise and worship, gather around him, and praise him non-stop, right?
Thinking of this, Celica didn't feel happy at all.
Compared to these complicated feelings, Celica was more concerned about the upcoming meeting.
"Will Brother Rozen really come? Pina? "
Celica asked the little dragon in her arms anxiously.
"Kyru!"
Pina raised her head and let out a cry. It was unknown whether she was saying yes or no.
Yesterday, when the Crusade ended, Rozen immediately left for the 55th floor to confront Zahad.
As for Blake and XaXa, Rozen left them to Kirito.
Of course, Celica was the same.
When Celica sensed that the battle was over and walked out from behind the tree, the swordsman in black said to Celica.
"Guild Leader has something important to deal with. He asked me to tell you that we'll meet again tomorrow at the same place."
After saying this, the swordsman escorted the two killers and left.
Celica returned to the secret room and stayed in the Wind Direction Chicken Pavilion.
This was the only place Celica could think of that could be mentioned as the 'same place'.
Other than this place where they first met and the Forest of Lost where they fought together, Rozen and Celica didn't have any special experiences in other places.
They couldn't possibly use the Forest of Lost as a rendezvous, right?
That was why Xili had been waiting here all this while.
"No, no, no!"
Celica suddenly realized what she was thinking. She blushed and shook her head violently.
"This isn't a rendezvous! It's just a meeting! A meeting! "
Celica blushed and muttered to herself.
What she got in return was a teasing remark.
"Is that so? I think it's fine even if it's a rendezvous. "
Her childish mischievous voice startled Xili on the spot, causing her to raise her head quickly.
Only then did Celica realize that there was a player sitting across from her who was looking at her with a teasing expression.
Who else could it be other than Rozen?
"Brother … Rozen …!?"
Celica exclaimed.
"Chirp!"
Pina also cheered and flew out of Celica's arms toward Rozen.
"It seems that you're in good spirits, little one."
Rozen caught Pina with a smile and teased her chin.
Seeing this scene, Celica was convinced.
Rozen really came to the rendezvous.
At this moment, compared to other complicated emotions, the first thing Celica felt was joy.
Extreme joy.
Originally, Celica was worried that she would never see Rozen again.
Now it seemed that all these worries were unnecessary.
(We really meet again …)
