Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

"I'm sorry to interrupt your good mood. But can I join in the accomplice relationship?"

"Huh? Mr. Kikuoka?"

"In fact, I have just been ordered by my superiors to fully assist Hachiman-kun in resolving the incident."

"real or fake?"

"That's right. We must rescue the remaining one hundred people. From now on, we're all companions. Ah, and please try not to do anything illegal."

Kikuoka said as he extended his right hand, and Hachiman shook it firmly, and the two completed a firm handshake.

"I'd love to hear your advice."

"Then let's continue with the previous topic? Although there may not be much to add."

"By the way, can I ask a question first? What's the situation with my phone right now?"

Kikuoka seemed to be well prepared and answered smoothly, "Your cell phone contracts are all suspended.

But it has been removed just now, and it should be working normally now. My email address and phone number haven’t changed.

"Ms. Haruno, could you please tell Komachi to bring my phone?"

"Understood! Contact me right away~"

Haruno immediately called Komachi and asked her to bring Hachiman's cell phone over on the spot.

"Done~"

"Thank you, Miss Haruno, and Mr. Kikuoka."

"Ok?"

"I killed someone in SAO. Does that constitute a crime?"

“I won’t be held accountable.”

"That's it..."

"You didn't volunteer, did you? It was basically self-defense."

"But there are also people in SAO who enjoy killing people."

"After collecting their statements, those guys will be monitored by the police for a period of time. Unfortunately, they really can't be convicted."

"Testimony? Do you need me to provide relevant information?"

"I don't want to recall it, but if you have any information, please let me know."

"understood."

Hachiman announced the names of PoH, Johnny Black, Red-Eyes Sasa, Kratil, and Rosaria.

I can't seem to remember the rest of the names.

After recording it, Kikuoka immediately checked it with the list and found that only PoH was not on the list.

"Damn it, it had to be that guy..."

"Is it dangerous?"

"The leader of the murderous guild 'Laughing Coffin' is likely a retired or active military member."

“For military personnel, it’s not surprising that the information is encrypted.

Putting ordinary people aside, if military personnel were exposed for serial killings in a game, even if they were not convicted, it would still cause controversy, and it is very likely that the information was encrypted from the beginning.

"But if you're overseas, it should be fine."

"That's all the information I can provide at the moment."

"That's enough. We have basically got all the information we need."

Hachiman pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of another thing:

"Mr. Kikuoka, could you tell me the contact information of my companions?"

"Sorry, this is strictly prohibited. Although I trust you, there's no guarantee someone will seek revenge."

"There's a Personal Information Protection Act... That's right. We've agreed on how to contact each other, so it should be fine.

Could you please help confirm if any of my companions are among those who haven't woken up yet?"

"If it's necessary to solve the problem, then this is fine."

"Please help confirm the safety of these six people: Kirito, Lisbeth, Silica, Agil, Klein, and Argo.

Ah, Bakaha...I didn't tell him the contact information.

Anyway, I should be able to see him after school starts, so I just need to confirm his safety."

Kikuoka's expression was solemn as he operated the terminal:

"There is still one person who hasn't woken up yet."

"who is it?"

"Miss Lisbeth."

"Liz, Kirito should be sad."

"Is it Kirito-kun's lover, 翏伊7"引（】二）V?II〆I⑷⑷Dam Yueyi?"

“It’s not that far yet.”

"Although I can't share my contact information, I'm going to see Kirito-kun soon. Is there anything you need to convey?"

"Really? Please tell him about Asuna and Liz.

Let's talk about 'working hard to recover within two months'.

By the way, Ms. Yang No, I don’t remember my email address…”

"Ok, I know."

"Could you please write this down and give it to Mr. Kikuoka?"

"No problem, I'll write it right away."

"Mr. Kikuoka, please give this to that guy. Please."

"It's just a small matter. Anything else?"

"temporarily unavailable."

"Then Miss Yang Noi and I will focus on gathering intelligence."

"Thank you for your help. I will work hard to recover."

The conversation for the day ended here, and Hachiman's rehabilitation life officially began.

SAO: Chapter 89: Rehabilitation Filled with Romance

"Then, just walk slowly."

"oh oh."

From the next day, Hachiman's rehabilitation life officially began.

However, in Hachiman's case, he only needed to restore muscle strength, which was relatively easy compared to ordinary rehabilitation.

Yukino came to visit the patient that morning. Since she took the initiative to ask the staff for help, Hachiman was now being supported by Yukino and practicing walking.

"I say, although I appreciate your help, is everything okay at school?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's March and the university is on spring break."

"Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't realize that at all.

After all, in that world, although the seasons change on different floors, there is no fundamental concept of four seasons."

"It's hard for Japanese people to imagine a world without four seasons."

"Yeah, it's better to have four seasons after all."

The two smiled at each other and continued their rehabilitation training.

After a while, the staff reminded them that it was time to take a break, and the two sat side by side on the bench.

"How does it feel?"

"My body still feels heavy...it doesn't look easy to fill this gap."

"I see. As expected, in the game world, the speed of thinking also affects the body's reactions, right?"

“And reflex nerves.”

"Yes, actually I also..."

"You too what?"

"Ah, nothing."

"Yeah"

(They might be resistant to VRMMOs since they've just quit gaming, so we need to carefully consider when to tell them we're playing ALO.)

"By the way, Yukinoshita, if possible, can you call me Hachiman? Because..."

"You've been called Hachi for almost two years, so you're not used to being called by your last name all of a sudden, right?"

"Oh, your understanding is still the same as before. I miss it for some reason."

"This counts as a proposal, right? Then I'll marry you..."

"Hey wait! I remember this conversation! Sister Yang No taught you that, didn't she?"

"Haha, sorry, that's exactly it."

"You two sisters are really...how do you say that about the name?"

"Well... let's try it... Hachiman-kun, Hachiman-kun."

"It would have felt awkward before, but now it feels so natural. It's incredible."

"Then you can call me Yukino too. Your sister is Yang No-nee and I'm called Yukinoshita. It's a bit strange indeed."

"I understand, Yukino."

"It's still surprising that you addressed me like that without hesitation.

But I never thought that there would be a day when you would call me Yukino. Yukino, Yukino, hehe."

Yukino happily murmured her new nickname over and over again.

"By the way, what should we do about Yuigahama-san?"

"Yuigahama, after all, 'Xiaoqi' is just a nickname, so it doesn't feel out of place.

Anyway, talk to her first and let her call her whatever she wants. As for Isshiki, let her do whatever she wants."

"Anyway, she only calls me 'senior'"

“Every time I’m with that guy, I feel like I’m back in high school.

Oh, by the way, Yukino, I heard that I can go back to school.

The details are still unclear, but it seems the government is preparing schools for the victims.”

"I've heard about this, but because you cleared the border early, it seems the school building construction isn't finished yet."

"I didn't expect to be able to return to school. To be honest, I'm super happy."

"Haha, you're really happy, but I'm also a little reluctant. I really want to graduate together."

"Yes, that's really the truth."

"Or I can drop out and start high school again..."

"Hey"

"Just kidding. If possible, I'll attend your graduation ceremony as your guardian."
