Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

Rosalia turned to leave, and Hachiman said to her from behind:

"I also bear the same sin. Since you are under Miss Yang No's command, we may meet again in the future. Remember this sin and live on. Although it is difficult, let's work hard together."

Rosalia turned back in surprise, bowed deeply, and left.

Hachiman contacts Kirito and rushes to the izakaya.

“Sorry I’m late.”

"You're too slow, Hachiman! We've already had several rounds of drinks!"

"The tea in your cup is obviously oolong tea."

"Hachiman-kun, long time no see."

"Mr. Nishida, long time no see."

The three of them drank and talked happily, and agreed to take Nishida to visit Asuna another day. Before leaving, Nishida said:

"I'm only able to stand here thanks to you and the Clearers. I never thought you knew Ms. Haruno. This must be fate. Please keep me company from now on."

"Yes! Mr. Nishida!"

“I’m so glad we met today.”

Nishida shook hands with the two men and added with a smile:

“Today was definitely one of the best three days of my life.”

"The other two days?"

Weddings and grandchildren's birthdays

"I see"

"Well, goodbye, both of you!"

"goodbye!"

"Take care, Mr. Nishida!"

After they parted, Kirito asked about the reason.

"The woman with Mr. Nishida is Rosalia."

"real or fake?"

"It seems that I have become a subordinate of Miss Haruno and Mr. Nishida."

Kirito asked worriedly:

"no problem?"

"no problem"

After receiving a positive answer, Kirito smiled and said:

"I believe what Hachiman said. If it's that guy Klatir, I will never let him off."

"That's right"

The two smiled at each other and set off on their journey home.

ALO: Chapter 141: Fishing with Mr. Nishida

"Hey, Asuna, it's been a while. It's great to see you again."

"Mr. Nishida, I've been waiting for you! I'm very happy too!"

"How is it? How is your recovery?"

"Yes, thanks to Hachiman-kun's constant help, recovery has gone very smoothly."

"Yeah, that's good, that's good."

This day was the day that Nishida had agreed to visit Asuna. Ever since she heard from Hachiman about her reunion with Nishida, Asuna had been looking forward to this day.

"I only saw some reports of that incident on the news. This time it's really a sudden disaster."

The "that thing" that Nishida mentioned was naturally the mess that Sugo caused in ALO.

By the way, Sugo was confessing his crimes in fits and starts, and was therefore severely criticized by public opinion. In a sense, he became the most "famous" man in Japan.

"Yeah, it was really hard... but Hachiman-kun and the others saved me!"

"Yeah, Asuna is very happy to have such a reliable lover."

"Yes! Very happy!"

"By the way, Mr. Nishida, are you still fishing now?"

Hachiman, finally feeling embarrassed, took the initiative to change the subject.

"Ah, fishing. My rehab training is finally over, and I've landed a job, so I'm planning on picking it up again."

"Oh, yes! Congratulations on getting the job!"

"Thank you, Miss Yang Nai, for taking in an old man like me. I am truly grateful."

"Mr. Nishida is responsible for ALO's line maintenance, right?"

"That's right. I failed to fulfill my duties during SAO, so I must complete my work properly this time. So you two can relax and have fun in ALO."

"understand!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Nishida."

The two nodded happily to Nishida.

"By the way, Mr. Nishida, I have something to ask you..."

"Hmm? What do you want to ask, Asuna? Anything I know."

"Can girls fish? I want to try it in real life."

Faced with Asuna's sudden remarks, Nishida pondered for a moment.

"Well... you can occasionally see female anglers, so it should be fine. However, some aspects can be a bit more troublesome, especially with bait."

"That's totally fine! Once I've recovered my strength, let's go fishing together!"

"I don't mind"

Nishida glanced at Hachiman. In fact, he was worried whether Asuna would dare to touch the live bait. Hachiman noticed this and asked on Nishida's behalf.

"Asuna, are you sure you're okay with using earthworms as bait?"

"Yeah! Earthworms, maggots, sandworms, water fleas, Hachiman-kun will help me put them on, right?"

"Hey......"

"Ah, but I can make my own dough bait! Steaming sweet potatoes or something like that is no problem at all!"

Hachiman was surprised by this statement.

"Oh, oh, you know a lot, Yayue|yi=首&发#sina."

"Actually, ever since I heard Hachiman-kun talk about Mr. Nishida, I've become interested in fishing."

"Fishing... sounds like fun."

"Hmm! Lure fishing should be no problem, but fly fishing seems a bit too demanding. Casting downstream should be possible, but tapping the surface is hard to imagine. Do you think I can do it, Mr. Nishida?"

Nishida stared at Asuna blankly, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, it's better for beginners to start with live bait fishing. But with Asuna's intelligence, she'll definitely master it quickly. Anyway, with Hachiman helping her thread the bait, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Yeah! I'll try my best! I'll release it if I catch it! But I want to try making a fish rubbing."

Hachiman listened to Asuna's endless chatter and said in amazement:

"You're so excited... But when did you become so knowledgeable about fishing, Asuna? You said you knew nothing before."

“Ah, this, actually I learned it from reading comics.”

This unexpected answer left Hachiman stunned.

"I'm awesome, right? Praise me, Hachiman-kun!"

"Yes, that's awesome!"

“When I heard that the Chinese trout had actually been discovered in West Lake, I was so excited!”

“I even checked the relevant information…”

"Hmph~"

Asuna wrinkled her nose in triumph, but Hachiman interrupted her with a wry smile:

"Okay, okay, that's all for today."

"Hmm~ There's obviously a lot I want to talk about."

"It seems like you've really fallen into the trap... I'll listen to you later."

"Ok!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Nishida couldn't help laughing while listening to the conversation between the two.

"Seeing how motivated you seem, I'll make a plan with Hachiman-kun first. But before that, you need to get your health back. Is that okay?"

"Okay! Please! Hachiman-kun wants to help too!"

"Know it"

Xitian looked at the two of them and said with emotion:

"It's so wonderful to see you guys so happy."

"Yes! I am very happy now!"

“Yeah, I feel happy too.”

Nishida narrowed his eyes and added:

"You are like my own grandchildren. It makes me happy just looking at you. Including Kirito and Lisbeth, you have four grandchildren."

At this moment, Hachiman suddenly remembered that he had not yet explained Lisbeth's situation.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Nishida might not know this, but Liz was actually one of the last 100 people rescued, just like Asuna. If it's convenient, could you go visit her as well? Liz would definitely be very happy."

Nishida was very surprised when he heard this, and then nodded:

"That's actually the case. Of course, no problem. Can you tell me which hospital she is in?"

"Thank you so much!"

"Liz will be so happy if she knows!"

"Okay, then the address of the hospital is..."

After Hachiman explained in detail, Nishida confirmed:

"It happens to be near the station on my way home and it's still early. I should be able to visit him today. Of course, it depends on whether it's convenient for him."

"Just say Rika's ward and you'll find it."

"I'm calling Liz right now!"

Asuna immediately made a phone call:

"Hello? Liz? Mr. Nishida is here now. If it's convenient later..."

Listening to Asuna's explanation, Nishida saw Asuna making an OK sign. At this time, a text message came from Kazuto, and Hachiman conveyed:

"Kirito said they are together now."

"Then go check it out, you two. I'll come visit you another day."

"welcome any time!"

"I'm looking forward to the day we can go fishing together. Goodbye, both of you."

"Goodbye, Mr. Nishida!"
