Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

"H-When did you start calling each other by first names!?"

"Yumiko started on the day she woke up, and Yukino started today. Oh, I was just about to tell you about this."

"Uh-huh"

"I've been called 'Hachiman' in the game for two years, so being called 'Hikigaya' now feels awkward."

"Ah~ I see."

"So I'm asking everyone to call me by my first name. Yumiko took the initiative, but that's what I meant too.

As for how I address the other person, that depends on their wishes. The problem lies with you, Yuigahama."

"You mean 'Hikigaya-kun'?"

"That's right. 'Hikigaya-kun' is originally a nickname, and I don't mind. You can keep it as it is, or call me by my real name."

"As for the name... Hachiman, Hikigaya-kun, Hachiman, Hikigaya-kun, um—"

After agonizing for a long time, Yui seemed to have come to a conclusion.

"Well, I'll keep calling you Hikigaya-kun!"

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

"If everyone else calls you by your name, Hikigaya-kun will be special!"

"It's very much like ② (一) Shanwuqi⒐Lu3⑵ Yui's style."

"Yeah, that's very Yuigahama-san's style."

"Then what should I call you? Should I continue to call you Yuigahama?"

"Please, please call me by my name!"

Yui nervously answered in seconds.

"Yui, why do you have to use honorifics..."

"I see. Then use the name..."

Yui excitedly waited for Hachiman to address her, but Hachiman chose an unexpected name.

"Yui-chan~ Yui-chan~ Ahaha, this name is quite cute."

"Hachiman, this is really..."

Yumiko was about to dissuade them, but Yukino and Yui's reactions were unexpected.

"Hikigaya-kun! Where did you learn to call me that?"

"Hey? Yui?"

"Hachiman-san, what is this way of addressing me?"

"Even Yukinoshita-san..."

"Didn't Yukino call Yuigahama 'Yui-chan' before? I thought you guys always call her that."

"Wow... I, the great Yukinoshita, actually..."

"So I decided to call myself 'Yui-chan' too."

"Hmm~ I don't hate it, but it feels so complicated!"

"You've been exposed a long time ago anyway, so just give up resisting, Yui-chan."

"If you don't like it, just call me Yui"

"Um--"

After thinking for a moment, Yui asked Hachiman:

"Hikigaya-kun, try looking me in the eyes and calling me 'Yui-chan' for once."

"I see. Is this okay, Yui-chan?"

"Wow..."

Yui's cheeks flushed as she began to mutter:

"Hmm... This is good, or should I say very good, Yui-chan, Yui-chan..."

"Hello, hello..."

"It seems like Yui-chan has gone to another world."

"Yui..."

"I'll be back in a bit."

"By the way, Hachiman, this is the phone Komachi asked me to pass on."

"Oh...thanks. Is Komachi busy?"

"Komachi-san has been elected as the vice-president of the student council, Hachiman-san."

"Is it true? Komachi has become the behind-the-scenes ruler of Sobu High School..."

"That's not entirely true, but it's not far off. During the election, I recommended her for president, but she said, 'Komachi, like her brother, prefers being behind the scenes to being in front of the stage!'"

"No..."

“Absolutely true.”

"So this is how Komachi sees me."

"Haha, isn't this good? It means Komachi-san likes you very much."

"is that so"

Yue!@Yi#$first %^post & "Of course it is"

"Hey, this is only natural, Hikigaya-kun! Not just Komachi, everyone is like this!"

Yui suddenly interrupted the conversation and seemed to have returned from another world.

"Oh, welcome back, Yui-chan."

"I'm back! What the hell is that?"

"Nothing, Yui-chan is always so sunny, maybe it's because of her pink hair."

"That's okay!"

"I used to have a friend who was like that. Pink represents cheerfulness and energy. It's the truth."

“It’s the truth.”

"That's right"

As Hachiman and Yui continued chatting, Yukino spoke thoughtfully to Yumiko:

"Miura-san, could you please call me Yukino? It feels a bit strange that you always call me by my last name, even though you use honorifics."

"Indeed, can I just call you Yukino? I want to be closer to you."

"No problem. Can I call you Yumiko, too? But I feel uncomfortable without the honorific."

"You'll get used to it one day, right?"

"Yeah, maybe one day I'll be able to say it naturally, hehe."

"I never thought we would end up in such a relationship. Life is so unpredictable, Yukino."

"That's what makes it interesting, isn't it, Yumiko?"

After the four of them chatted for a while, Yukino prepared to leave.

"I should go back, what about you guys?"

"It's almost time for me to leave."

"Ah~ I should go back too."

"Oh, thanks for coming today. Come play again when you have time."

“I still have to accompany someone for rehabilitation.”

"I'll come and help when I'm free!"

"I'll come visit you often. By the way, Hachiman, if you need anything, please contact me. I've saved my number."

"When did Yumiko save it!?"

"It really can't be underestimated."

"Goodbye then, Hachiman."

"See you tomorrow, Hachiman-kun."

"Hikigaya-kun, goodbye!"

"Oh, see you later!"

After the three left, Hachiman checked his phone and found an email from an unfamiliar number. When he opened it, he saw Kirito's contact information and immediately called him.

"Hello"

"Kirito? It's me."

"Oh! Could it be Hachiman?"

"When we first met, it was better to meet each other than Qiyi and Yilan (eight) four sevens Wu Liugu Hachiman."

"I'm Kazuto Kiritani. Please be kind, Hachiman."

"Please advise me, Kazuto, or should I keep calling you Kirito?"

"I've been called Kirito by you for two years, but this one still sounds better."

"Then let's keep it as it is."

"no problem"

After confirming the name, get to the point:

"Remember what happened at the end of SAO?"

"The conversation between the four of us?"

"Yes, in fact, I later spoke with Kayaba alone and learned that there were still a hundred people who had not been liberated. It seemed that there was external interference."

"I heard about it from Mr. Kikuoka."

"Do you know about Asuna and Liz?"

"I know everything. It's absolutely unforgivable."

"No matter what the reason, it is unforgivable"

"What's next?"

"Do you know the company that currently manages the SAO servers?"

"RECT PROGRESS, right?"

"RECT headquarters has a powerful ally gathering intelligence and may even send infiltrators. What are your thoughts, Kirito?"

"Have you already started preparing? As expected of Hachiman, but what exactly is it that you call such a powerful ally...?"

"In short, she's a final boss-level existence, and she's also a beautiful lady."

"What's going on with this cheat character..."

"In short, the most urgent thing is to recover your strength as soon as possible."

“Two months is a bit of a stretch.”

“I will do it even if I die.”

"That's right. Let's meet and talk about it in detail when we can go out."

"it is good"

After discussing the recovery plan, the two analyzed the incident:

"Hachiman, what do you think of this incident?"
