Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

His gun was stepped on by Shana who flew over. Shana took advantage of the momentum of the forward rush to jump up again and landed behind Zekexid.

Then, Zexid was split in half by Shana from the center of his head.

Zexide fell to the ground, with a "DEAD" mark on his head.

But Shana didn't even look at Zekeshid, and her eyes never left Sato Issai.

At this time, Sato Ichizan said something to Sana, and Sana responded, but her voice was very low and she couldn't hear what she said specifically.

Just then, Yukino suddenly spoke.

"'Here comes a troublesome fellow!' 'Ah, indeed.'"

"Yukino!? Did you hear the conversation clearly?"

Facing the surprised Yui, Yukino said calmly.

"No, I lip-read it."

"Is that the legendary lip reading technique?!"

"You guys are still as outrageous as ever."

Lisbeth was surprised by Yukino's answer, while Yumi sighed in admiration.

The conversation between the two continued, and Yukino continued to translate in real time.

"'I originally entered the tournament just to kill time, but I never imagined there would be such terrifying monsters in the world.'"

"I'm going to return this as it is. You're a veteran of the US military or somewhere else, right? And you must have killed many people."

"Oh? You figured it out?"

"I don't want to recall it, but I once fought with a guy whose eyes looked a lot like yours."

"You kid, are you a soldier too? Or a mercenary or something?"

"No, I'm just a..."

At this time, the camera angle changed and the lips of the two people could no longer be seen.

Yukino stopped the real-time translation.

“It feels so great…”

"Yeah, it seems that the man named Sato Ichizan is a real soldier.

That person named Shana seems a little different. Where does she come from with such skills?

That guy named Zekeshid, how can I put it, is so shameful."

"Well, since he's able to participate in the competition, that Zexide must be quite capable. But even as an outsider, I don't think they're even on the same level."

"From a blacksmith's perspective, Shana's weapon looks like a mass-produced item. So, it really depends on skill, right?"

"They are still chatting. What are they talking about?"

“I care so much!”

It seemed like Yukino was very concerned about the content of the conversation, and the others agreed.

"Hey, Asuna, can we change the position of the live camera?

Hey, Asuna...are you listening? Hello...Asu, Asuna?"

Hearing Yukino's puzzled voice, the others also looked at Asuna.

Asuna was seen mumbling something quietly.

"Could it be that Sato Ichizan is that guy...? Well, that's not right. Judging from the conversation,

"The guy with similar eyes" should be referring to that guy... Based on my impression, he does seem a bit different."

"Asuna? Hello, Asuna? What happened?"

Asuna seemed to come back to her senses after being shaken by Lisbeth. She exclaimed "Ah" and looked at the four people's faces.

Then Asuna shook her head and said:

"Um, sorry, I think I made a mistake."

"Is that so? That's good. But if you have any troubles, please let us know immediately."

"That's right, we are partners."

Yukino spoke first, and Lisbeth continued.

Then Yui and Yumi also smiled at Asuna.

Asuna felt very warm and happy, and said to the four people with a smile:

"Hmm! Sorry, I was actually wondering if that guy named Sato Ichizan might be the leader of the murderous guild in SAO. But it seems I was mistaken."

"Eh!? Are you talking about PoH?"

Lisbeth, who knew PoH quite well, said in surprise.

The remaining three people didn't know much about PoH, and just watched their conversation.

However, all three of them looked a little uneasy when they heard the term "Murder Guild".

Seeing them like this, Asuna and Lisbeth explained the PoH matter to the three of them.

"Is that so... There are actually people like that... They're practically crazy, right?"

“It seems like their values are completely different.”

"I also think that guy is disgusting, but maybe it's because we grew up differently."

"By the way, Asuna, how do you know that person isn't from PoH?"

In response to Lisbeth's question, Asuna gave a vague answer.

"Intuition... maybe..."

"intuition?"

"Well...it's just a feeling."

"Well, since Asuna said so, then it's probably right."

"Yukino, do you believe me?"

Asuna asked Yukino in a daze. Yumi interrupted.

"Hey~, I thought you were going to say:

"How can I possibly believe something so unscientific like that?

Can you provide a theoretical basis for this?

Something like that, I remember you were like this before, right? "

Hearing this, Yukino puffed up her cheeks and said in a somewhat angry tone:

"Are you imitating me? Hmm...

If it were me in the past, I might have said something similar.

But now I know that’s not the case.

It's a bit pretentious, but I've had similar experiences several times since I was in combat. I can't deny it completely.

No matter how unscientific it may seem."

"That's it~"

"Especially Asuna, she has been fighting through even harsher conditions than me.

Her intuition isn't unscientific, but rather based on experience, right?"

"Experience, isn't it..."

“There really might be such a thing.”

Asuna nodded deeply in agreement with Yukino's comment. At that moment, Lisbeth suddenly screamed.

"Look! The battle has begun!"

When the remaining four heard this, they hurriedly looked at the monitor.

On the monitor, Sato Ichizan and Sana were engaged in a fierce battle.

To the five people, accustomed to watching Kirito and Hachiman fight, the battle between these two was no less impressive. After an unknown amount of time, the moment to decide the winner finally arrived.

The presence or absence of a pistol seemed to have an impact in the end, and Sato Izan's bullet finally hit Sana. Sana fell to the ground with a thud, and Sato Izan also sat slumped in the same place.

Then, Yukino's live broadcast began again.

“‘Huh…it was a close call.’

"You're so strong, boy. I'll repay this favor sooner or later."

"Ha! If I get another chance like this, I'll kill you."

"Goodbye then, Sato Ichizan."

"Ah, goodbye, Shana."

Following these words, a "DEAD" sign appeared above Shana's head.

Sato Issen disappeared in search of his next prey.

After that, Sato Ichizan's battle appeared on the monitor several times.

But it was all one-sided devastation, or even massacre.

In the eyes of the five people, the initial battle seemed like the actual final.

In the end, Sato Ichizan won the championship.
