It has been almost two months since SAO was completely cleared and the surviving Players safely returned to the real world.
And the various things that happened in SAO gradually surfaced under the investigation of the police.
Including the Clearers, the Orange Guild, and Kayaba Akihiko, who disguised himself as Heathcliff.
Including the strongest Player, who brought hope to countless people at the beginning, Eight-cloud Ink!
In the eyes of the people in the real world, those Clearers were all heroes, but in the minds of the Clearers, only Eight-cloud Ink was qualified to be called a hero!
Naturally, everyone was very curious about the true identity of Eight-cloud Ink.
After some investigation, the identity that Eight-cloud Ink forged using magic was suddenly exposed.
He was a citizen of a powerful empire that once ruled the entire East for thousands of years.
At the same time, he was a bounty hunter!
Everyone was amazed. Some were amazed by Eight-cloud Ink's profession, but of course, most of them were amazed that Eight-cloud Ink had the strength to become a bounty hunter at such a young age.
After Eight-cloud Ink's fake identity was exposed, Yuuki Shozo specially invited Eight-cloud Ink, and the two talked in a coffee shop for the whole afternoon.
Ashina didn't know what her father and Eight-cloud Ink talked about. She only knew that after that day, her father and mother agreed to her relationship with Eight-cloud Ink.
Most of the players in SAO, except for a few adults who had jobs, were students.
After being trapped in the game for three years, these students were obviously out of touch with their peers.
So with the help of various players, a school was established for the students trapped in SAO.
On this day, after school, Asuna, who was wearing a dark blue student uniform, skipped towards the school gate.
Although the environment in the real world was not as beautiful as in SAO, Ashina never got tired of it.
The real sky, the real earth, and the real people.
Everything was real. It was no longer a pile of data.
"That's great …"
Ashina chuckled as she noticed Eight-cloud Ink standing at the entrance of the school, attracting the attention of passersby.
"Seriously, no matter where he stands, he's always so eye-catching …"
Ashina muttered in dissatisfaction as she ran toward Eight-cloud Ink.
"Ink!"
Ashina opened her arms and threw herself into Eight-cloud Ink's embrace. Her face was filled with a bright smile.
After catching Ashina with both hands, Eight-cloud Ink gently knocked on the girl's forehead.
"Be careful. What if you fall?"
"Hehe …"
Ashina smiled coquettishly for a while before she pouted and snorted.
"You're one year younger than me, why are you acting like a big brother …"
"I'm not your big brother." Eight-cloud Ink said softly, "I'm your husband."
A blush immediately crept up Asina's pink cheeks.
Ashina rolled her eyes at Eight-cloud Ink as she got out of Eight-cloud Ink's arms and combed her hair behind her ears.
"You guys have such a good relationship! I'm so envious! "
A teasing voice suddenly came from not far away.
A girl wearing the same student uniform as Ashina, with beautiful brown ponytails and red eyes, stood there with her hands on her hips.
Celica, or should I call her Ayano Keiko.
"Oh, it's Keiko!"
Eight-cloud Ink greeted Ayano Keiko.
Behind Keiko, a man and a woman were walking toward her.
Kiritani Kazuto and Shinozaki Rika.
It was Kirito and Lizbet from the game.
After entering the survivor school, Kazuto and Rika became lovers and were now dating.
"Yo! Yakumo, are you here to pick up Ashina for the party? "
Kazuto waved at Eight-cloud Ink from afar.
There was an offline gathering of SAO survivors today, and the location was in Agil. In real life, Andrew Gilbert Mills opened a cafe and bar in Tokyo called "Dick's Cafe".
Rika, who jumped next to Ashina, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward in front of Ashina, and sniffed like a small animal.
"Rika, what are you doing!"
"Hmph ~ hmph ~"
Rika narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"There's a very nice smell on Asuna's body, but it's obviously not yours! It seems like something happened between you and Yakumo before we came, right? Hehehe! Tell me the truth! "
Ming Minai was greatly embarrassed and immediately chased after Li Xiang to make a fuss.
⑧
When the offline party ended, it was already eight o 'clock in the evening.
Ashina and Eight-cloud Ink were walking side by side on their way home.
"Hey, Ashina."
"What's the matter?"
"There's something I want to tell you."
Turning around, Ashina noticed something was wrong with Eight-cloud Ink's tone, and she looked at Eight-cloud Ink's dark eyes.
"Me … I'm not from this world."
Ashina didn't say anything.
"Hmm? You don't believe me? "That's right. No one would believe such a thing if it was said so casually.
Shaking her head, Ashina gently held Eight-cloud Ink's warm hand.
Obviously, she was waiting for Eight-cloud Ink's further explanation.
After looking around and seeing that there were still pedestrians on the street, Eight-cloud Ink took Ashina's hand and went to an empty riverbank not far away.
Raising his right hand, he circulated his demonic energy and a ball of orange-red flame appeared in his palm.
"Ah —!!"
Ashina covered her mouth and let out a cry of surprise. Her eyes were full of disbelief.
After dispersing the flame in her palm, Yakumo looked at the reflection of the moon on the surface of the river and slowly explained her origin.
"It was discovered by those reporters and the police that my information was all fake."
"I came from a place called 'Fantasy Land'."
"It's a paradise that doesn't belong to this world — it belongs to monsters."
"Monsters!?"
Eight-cloud Ink nodded. "Yes, monsters."
"Ashina, I'm also a monster, do you … mind?"
Looking at Ashina's delicate face with some worry, Eight-cloud Ink hesitated for a while before revealing his identity.
Ashina looked at Eight-cloud Ink without fear in her brown eyes.
Silence.
As time went by, Ashina remained silent.
Eight-cloud Ink's heart gradually sank.
"No wonder Mo Yan is so beautiful!"
Ashina suddenly said.
Eight-cloud Ink paused and didn't react for a while.
"Hmm? What? "
"I mean … no wonder Mo Yan is so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people jealous …"
"Are all monsters so beautiful?"
Ashina smiled and reached out her hand, gently holding Eight-cloud Ink's warm hand.
"Ashina, one day, if I leave here and go back to Fantasy Land, will you be willing to follow me?"
Ashina smiled gently.
"I'll go wherever you go."
