Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

"Yui, are they still following?"

"Yes, Dad. Keep it close but not too far."

"Okay, let's go into the city. Leafa will contact Yukino and the others first."

After entering the city, Leafa went to find Yukino.

"Dad, the stalkers are approaching, in the shadows of the hotel and behind the trees."

"Yui quietly confirmed that they were observing?"

"Ok"

Yui climbed from her breast pocket to her shoulder and observed secretly.

"He's peeking. He's the surveillance officer after all."

"They must have worked so hard waiting for us to come online and following us for such a long distance."

"Leafa is back"

Kirito waved his hand to show his intention, and Leafa came running back.

"Yukino and the others are here, I'll take you there now."

"Wait, those people are watching."

"Hey where?"

"Yui said it was in the shadow of the hotel and behind the tree behind me."

Leafa was about to turn around but Hachiman stopped her.

"Leafa pretended to be casual and checked with her fingers. If it was someone she knew, she would stretch to indicate."

"Got it...Okay, cheer up!"

Leafa pretended to slap her face while observing through her fingers, then stretched.

Hachiman said loudly:

"We'll leave for the **Lu Corridor in an hour. Yukino and the others will reach the other side when they break through the corridor."

Kirito and Leafa responded with an emphasis on time.

"Got it, in an hour."

"OK! In one hour."

The monitor made contact and left.

"Ready to go"

"Those two are Sigurd's followers. They're not members of the team, but I've seen them a few times."

"Do you think Sigurd will act?"

"We specially sent someone to stake out the itinerary, so they should be able to do it."

"Lifa knows him so well, it's probably true."

"Let's meet up with Yukino first."

"Please, Leafa, lead the way."

“Booked a large room at a hotel near the corridor exit”

On the way to the hotel, Hachiman remained alert, but did not encounter any suspicious people, and everyone reunited smoothly.

"I'm so sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

"I'm really sorry"

Hachiman and Kirito bowed their heads in apology.

"Don't worry, brother and Kirito-kun! Komachi can still work harder!"

"Senior! Kirito-kun! I'm totally fine too!"

"Hachiman, Kirito-kun, the main event has just begun! Come on!"

"Please raise your heads, both of you. This is our voluntary act. We will follow Hachiman's instructions and do our best. Of course, we will raise any opinions we have."

"Everyone...really...thank you."

Kirito patted Hachiman on the back, and Leafa watched the scene with envy.

ALO: Chapter 107: Passerby Raigen

"that……"

"Well, what's wrong, Leafa?"

"Do the seniors know each other in real life?"

Hearing this, Yukino was suddenly startled and began to explain hurriedly.

"I'm sorry, Leafa, I haven't explained this yet. Yes, we all know each other in real life.

Although I was separated from Hachiman-kun and Kirito-kun for a while due to some reasons, we have recently reunited."

"I see, that's what happened."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it..."

"Ah, no, it's not Yukino. Actually... I'm a little envious."

Hearing the word "envy", Yukino suddenly remembered a certain player and asked Leafa:

"Leafa and Raegen-kun know each other in real life, right?"

"Ah-yeah, there is indeed a connection with Reagan in real life.

But Reagan and I are just unfortunate nexus, and the strength of our bond is far less than what everyone else feels."

Everyone who heard this seemed to sympathize with Reagan.

(Don't worry, Reagan.)

(Regan... what a poor fellow...)

(Raegan-kun, you'll get your reward one day... maybe.)

(Poor Raegan-kun.)

(This is completely friend positioning)

(Who is Reagan?)

"what..."

At this moment, Yukino suddenly made a sound as if she had noticed something again.

"Hmm? What's wrong Yukino?"

"Speaking of which, Miss Leafa, what I asked was to help lead the way so we could reunite, right?"

"Ah, that's true."

"It's dangerous from here. If you continue to trouble Miss Leafa..."

"Ah—that's what I'm talking about. Don't worry about Yukino. Sigurd and the others and I have parted ways. From now on, I will help everyone according to my own will."

"...Thank you, Miss Leafa."

"Leafa, thank you."

"It's up to you, Leafa!"

Seeing Kirito's smile, Leafa's heart suddenly beat faster. In order not to be discovered, she hurriedly smiled at everyone.

"Anyway, please take care of me from now on!"

Hearing this, everyone responded with greetings. Then Yukino continued to say to Leafa:

"Ms. Leafa, you should also know that our team has not joined any faction so far and has always remained neutral.

However, this policy will end at this point. We have just collectively discussed and decided that we will move forward together with Hachiman-kun from now on. I need to inform you of this in advance."

"Hey?"

"Of course I will always be with Hachiman."

"you..."

"I see, so the core of the group isn't Yukino but Hachiman-kun."

"Oh...I think so."

"Hehe, why do you seem so unconfident, Hachiman-kun? But... what should I do..."

Looking at Leafa's expression, Kirito said calmly:

"Leafa doesn't have anywhere to go right now, right? So, why don't you just come with us until you decide?"

"...is it okay?"

"Of course it's no problem, right Hachiman?"

"Ah, Leafa said that before, right? Since we're friends of friends, then we're friends too. If Leafa is willing, you're welcome."

"Thank you... Well, I'm suddenly motivated! Please take care of me again!"

"And so, the power of the Hachiman team is growing."

"Hey Kirito, why are you speaking in a narration tone? And what the hell is the Hachiman team?"

"What a tasteless name! Hachiman-kun, you should think of something more serious."

"That's right, brother. As a younger sister, Komachi feels ashamed."

“I think this is not bad.”

"Yui-senpai, this won't do."

"Wow... we'll have to form a guild sooner or later anyway, so let's just consider this a task for when we get there."

"Please give me a cool name, Hachiman!"

"Oh, oh...but I'm the worst at this..."

At this moment, Yui, who seemed unable to hold back any longer, flew out of Hachiman's pocket and began to circle around the group.

"Yui is here too, Dad! Yui is also a member of Team Hachiman!"

"Oh, you must be the legendary Miss Yui. Nice to meet you. I'm Yukino."

Yukino spoke first, and the others introduced themselves.

"I'm Yui! I'm daddy's daughter!"

Yui said as she landed on top of Hachiman, her hands on her hips in a majestic pose. While she was clearly showing off, her cuteness made the female members gather around her and start chatting.

After the situation calmed down, Leafa spoke to Hachiman first:

"So what should we do next? Should we destroy the enemy first and then go to the alliance ceremony? I thought we were supposed to escort Yukino and the others to the alliance ceremony."

"Well, that's what you think. Basically, you're right."

"Basically? Any other plans?"

"Ah, first, use a large sum of money to obtain the assistance of the elven and cat demon lords, then use that money to equip yourself and head to Alfheim to take on a large-scale mission.

That’s our current goal.”

"Large mission?"

"That's right, Leafa. Don't you think the setting of a large-scale mission is strange?"

"What do you mean?"

Hachiman explained his doubts about the large-scale mission settings to Leafa in detail, and Leafa seemed to have shared the same feelings.

"I see. This might be why I felt uncomfortable with large-scale missions before."

“It’s really strange when you think about it, isn’t it?”
