Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

"But Asuna might be able to fly on her own like we did back then."

"After all, she has consulted Miss Yang Noi for a lot of advice, so the possibility is very high."

"Time is almost up, good luck."

"Oh, after we successfully reunite, let's meet at that tree."

Hachiman said this and pointed to a tree a little further away.

"OK, see you later."

"Oh"

Hachiman separated from Kirito and flew up into the sky. He stared at the real time displayed in the window, waiting for Asuna to arrive. When the time was almost up, Hachiman looked around desperately for her.

"Hmm... is that it?"

After spotting a figure in the distance, it immediately flew towards it. Although the other person's flight was not very stable, it seemed to be able to fly on its own.

"Looks like everything's fine. Rest assured for now. Oh, it seems Asuna has noticed this place too."

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he confirmed Asuna's gaze, she suddenly screamed.

“Ah~ah~I’m going to fall~~~~~~”

"Hey! This is too fake, right? Wait, is it really falling?! Damn it! I can't tell whether it's real or not, but it's dangerous anyway!"

Seeing Asuna suddenly fall, Hachiman rushed over and caught her steadily, naturally in a princess carry position.

"Thank you, Hachiman-kun, but I'm still a little weak after the shock. If you can, please take me to Liz."

"Doesn't it matter?"

"Well, it should recover soon."

"Okay, then let's go straight to the rendezvous point."

"Um"

When they arrived at the agreed tree, Kirito and Lisbeth were already waiting there. Seeing Liz suddenly regain her energy, Asuna jumped from Hachiman's arms and rushed over.

"Liz!"

"Asuna!"

Looking at the two hugging each other, Hachiman and Kirito smiled knowingly. Suddenly, Asuna whispered something in Liz's ear, and Liz immediately begged Kirito to teach her how to fly.

"Although it can float in the air, but you see—"

Before she finished her words, Liz soared into the sky at an astonishing speed, which was obviously not something that could be achieved by ordinary levitation.

"Wow!"

Kirito hurriedly chased after him, and then Liz's voice came from the sky:

“Ah~ah~I’m going to fall~~~~~~”

Hachiman suddenly turned around and looked at Asuna, who pretended to be calm and looked away.

"Hey, Asuna..."

"What, what's wrong, Hachiman-kun?"

"This scene seems familiar. This routine must have been taught by Sister Yang No! What did she instill in you?!"

"W-what? Do you have any evidence?"

"Uh......"

At this time, Kirito fell from the sky holding Liz.

"Phew, I was scared to death. Be careful, Liz."

"Ok!"

Liz happily jumped down and rushed towards Asuna.

"Thank you, Asuna! I did as you said and it worked!"

"L-Liz! You can't tell me that!"

Asuna hurriedly covered Liz's mouth but it was too late.

"Asuna"

"What's wrong, Hachiman-kun?"

Hachiman hooked his finger and beckoned her over. Asuna shook her head and hid behind Liz. Kirito, not knowing what was going on, asked:

"Hachiman, what happened?"

"Kirito, come here."

"Okay."

After listening to Hachiman's whispered explanation, Kirito suddenly turned around and stared at Liz, who looked away with a look of worry on her face.

Liz

"What, what's going on, Kirito?"

Kirito also hooked his fingers, and Liz quickly hid behind Asuna.

"There's really no other way, Kirito. Let's take the initiative."

"it is good"

The two men slowly approached.

"babble--"

"Calm down, let's talk it over."

"That's right, let's have a deeper discussion."

"Liz, stop hiding and come out and talk."

Looking at the two approaching gradually——

"What should we do, Asuna?"

"Liz, run!"

Asuna dragged Liz up into the sky.

"You guys really can fly!"

"Stop right there—"

Hachiman and Kirito chased at full speed, and just when they were about to touch, the two of them displayed gorgeous aerobatic moves and easily avoided it.

"What!?"

"Why are you suddenly flying like this?!"

"The trick taught by Sister Yang No"

"The skills taught by Ms. Yang No"

They answered in unison and fled again.

"She can do this just by relying on tricks. Sister Yang No is really a monster."

"Hachiman! Miss Haruno might be listening somewhere! Stop talking nonsense!"

"real or fake!?"

He looked around hurriedly to confirm that no one was around before he breathed a sigh of relief.

“I almost forgot to keep chasing”

"That's right, go ahead, Kirito!"

The chase lasted for a long time, but it actually helped the four people's flying skills improve.

"Finally, I caught him."

“You guys are progressing too fast.”

"Alas, I was caught after all, Liz."

"Yeah, we've been caught, Asuna."

"But it's just as Sister Yang No said."

"Well, Miss Yang No is really amazing."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman and Kirito immediately became alert.

"Hey...do you have a backup plan?"

"Hmm? Hachiman-kun, this state is the answer."

"What's your current status?"

Only then did they notice each other's postures: Hachiman was holding Asuna tightly to prevent her from escaping, and the same was true for Kirito and Liz. They both blushed instantly and quickly let go.

"Wow"

"S-Sorry Liz."

"You finally noticed, Hachiman-kun, Kirito-kun."

"You are always dancing in Sister Yang No's palm, do you understand?"

"Damn...that person is really scary"

"Hachiman! Don't ever become her enemy!"

"Who's scary?"

“Woooooa ...

"sorry Sorry sorry"

Yang No's voice suddenly came from above, and the two of them immediately got up from their seats. Sorel (Yang No's game ID), who appeared out of nowhere, was looking down at them.

"Sister Yang No, doing as you said really went smoothly!"

"Thank you very much, Miss Yangno!"

"That's good. Please call me Sorel here."

"Yes! Sister Sorel!"

"Got it, Miss Sorel!"

Yang No looked at the two people kneeling on the ground in confusion.

"So why are they kneeling?"

"If you are angry, please forgive me."

"I didn't say anything! Hachiman said it all!"

"Ah! Kirito, you betrayed me!"

"This is true!"

Ignoring the two arguing, Sorel said to the girls:
