Zhao Sierya: ???
The voice seemed to be coming towards them. Zhao Si and Erya turned around and saw a petite figure running towards them in the darkness.
Chapter 543 Please accept me as your disciple!
The first level, the teleportation square, is an empty and quiet square.
I saw a girl with short golden hair standing in front of Zhao Si and Erya with enthusiasm, looking at them with admiration. The quiet atmosphere disappeared under the girl's continuous words.
"Master Trialist! I'm glad to see you again!"
"Master Trialist, where did you go before? Did you go up there?"
"What's the scenery like up there? There must be a lot of beautiful scenery and all kinds of treasures, right?"
"Ah! That's right, Mr. Trialist..."
"Stop, stop, stop, wait a minute, little girl!"
The blonde girl seemed to have a very outgoing personality. When she first came, she didn't care whether Zhao Si and Erya knew her or not. After introducing herself to them, she started talking a lot.
As for the little girl named Leah, Zhao Si felt that if he didn't interrupt her, she might talk until tomorrow morning, so he interrupted her.
"Yes! Please speak, Master Trial-taker!" Upon hearing this, Leah immediately stopped and waited obediently for Zhao Si to speak.
Well, at least from this point it can be seen that this little girl truly respects them from the bottom of her heart.
"...Well, wait a moment." Zhao Si said, pulling Erya back a few steps, with his back to Leah.
"Who is this? Do you know this kid?" Zhao Si said.
"Huh? Why do you say that? Isn't this someone you know?" Upon hearing this, Erya looked at Zhao Si in surprise. In her opinion, this girl should be someone Zhao Si knew, otherwise how could she run over to Zhao Si with such excitement and talk nonstop when she saw him?
But now it seems that Zhao Si doesn't know him?
"How is that possible? This is the first time I've seen her." Zhao Si said.
"...So, we don't know each other?" Erya blinked and said in surprise.
"Then she..." Looking back at Leah, Erya and Zhao Si looked at each other.
So what is going on? Whose child is this? Didn’t her family tell her not to talk to strangers?
"Could she be a player?" Erya glanced at Liya and said.
"No." Zhao Si answered Erya's question without thinking.
"She calls us trial-takers. If we were players, she wouldn't use that name at all... Well, I roughly guessed who she is." After thinking about it, Zhao Si said.
"Uh... After hearing what you said, I guessed a little bit. Not only that, I feel like I might have seen her before." After listening to what Zhao Si said, Erya also came to a similar answer in his heart.
"Huh? Have you seen this child?" Zhao Si said in surprise.
He didn't feel surprised that Erya could guess the girl's identity. After all, the hint in his words was obvious. But he didn't expect that Erya had actually seen the other person before?
But after thinking about it, Zhao Si felt that this was actually nothing to be surprised about. After all, if it was an NPC, then it would be natural for Erya, as a player, to feel familiar with it, right?
Yes, in Zhao Si's view, the identity of the girl Leah was just an NPC in the initial town of the first layer. However, as the first layer became the real world, the original girl also changed from an NPC composed of virtual data to a living being with flesh and blood.
"Well, I didn't think about it that way at first. After listening to you, I realized that I had taken over her tasks before." Erya said. She looked at the girl who was waiting for her and Zhao Si, with amazement and disbelief in her eyes.
Although he had learned about the situation of turning the virtual into the real from Zhao Si, Erya was still surprised when he saw with his own eyes that this existence, which was originally composed entirely of data, turned into a real existence.
This is tantamount to creating life from nothing, right? Even Takamiya Mio couldn't do this, right?
"No wonder. I was wondering why this kid would approach people whenever he saw them. Turns out he saw an acquaintance." Zhao Si nodded and said, if the other party still remembered Erya, then there would be no problem.
"...I wouldn't say I'm familiar with her. I've only taken three or four tasks from her." Erya scratched his head and said.
So the other party came to find me?
After clarifying the matter, Zhao Si and Erya returned to Liya. Looking at the girl in front of them, Erya thought for a moment and confirmed again, "Uh, Liya, right? If I remember correctly, have we met before?"
"Yes! Yes, Lord Trialist, you have helped me many times, and I will never forget you." Leah nodded vigorously, looking at Erya with shining eyes.
"Yes, is that so, ahaha..." Looking at Leah's serious eyes, Erya couldn't help but feel ashamed.
She would never forget anything. If she remembered correctly, the task she helped Leah do didn't seem to be a special one, like finding lost items or something. Was this really what left such a deep impression on the child?
"...So, Liya, why are you looking for us now?" Erya asked after a moment of silence. Anyway, let's see what the other party wants first.
Speaking of which, since the other party has become a real living being, can she still give herself tasks? Erya couldn't help but think.
Although she could summon the Whispering Order, in reality, just like Asuna and the others, when she returned to the higher floors, the rules of the virtual game world returned to her body again, limiting her power as a spirit. Otherwise, she should have been able to manifest a complete spiritual outfit.
"Yes! Yes, Master Trial-taker, I have one, no, two things I want to get your help with." Upon hearing this, Leah's face lit up with joy and she nodded quickly.
At the same time, almost at the same time as Leah finished speaking, the virtual interface of the game suddenly popped up in front of Erya.
Well, it seems that even if she becomes a real living being, the other party can still give her tasks as before.
As Erya was thinking, Leah's description of the mission rang in his ears.
"I have a friend who has lost her memory and only remembers her name. Now she is trying to regain her memory every day. I want to help her, but... I can't do it alone, so I would like to ask you for help? Do you think it's possible?" Leah looked at Erya expectantly and said.
"Uh, this..." Hearing this, Erya couldn't help but hesitate.
Amnesia? Recovering memories?
Oh, she thought Leah's task would be the same as before, to help her find the lost things, but it turned out not to be the case.
"Hiss... It seems like this is a bit troublesome... What do you think, Zhao Si?" Erya said in a low voice, turning to look at Zhao Si, wanting to ask for his opinion.
"Why are you asking me? Just help if you want to. We just came down to take a look around anyway." Zhao Si replied with a shrug.
He had come down mainly to observe the beings that had suddenly appeared on the first floor, a task that didn't require any serious attention. Erya taking on this mission was a good idea; it could be used as a distraction from observation.
"Since you say so, then I'll accept it," Erya said after hearing this.
"Answer it, it's no big deal." Zhao Si responded.
"Well, okay, then I agree to your request." Erya nodded and turned to Liya and said.
"That's great! Thank you so much!" Upon hearing this, Leah jumped up happily.
"What about the second thing? You just said there were two things, right?" Erya reminded Leah, looking at her with joy.
"Ah? Oh oh oh, yes, yes, there is one more thing!" Upon hearing this, Leah was stunned at first, and then nodded repeatedly as if waking up from a dream.
Then, her expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Erya, and then did something that surprised Erya the next second.
The girl took a step back and then bowed to Erya very seriously.
"The second thing is, please accept me as your disciple! Master Trialist!"
Chapter 544 Meeting
In a house in the initial town.
Sitting near the window, Feng Zichuan looked at the night outside the window, recalled his fruitless day, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"I've walked through the entire starting town, but still, I can't remember anything..." Azusagawa Feng muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall what old lady Lim had said to her before.
"Trial-takers... Will they really agree to my request as Grandma Lim said?" Azusagawa Feng pondered.
Now it seems that in this situation where she can't remember the past no matter what, perhaps the only ones she can count on are the trial-takers mentioned by old lady Lim.
but...
"Going to a higher level?" With his brows slightly furrowed, Feng Azigawa recalled the information about going to a higher level.
For people who grew up in this world, they know very well that they live in a tower-structured world, with another layer of space above or below their heads.
If they want to go to the previous or next floor, the only way is to go through that place - the maze area.
The so-called maze area is a place that exists on almost every floor. It contains various powerful monsters, as well as the monarch who commands many monsters and symbolizes the most powerful force in the area.
The passages leading to the upper and lower floors exist in such a place. If Azusagawa Feng wants to go to other floors, then fighting is inevitable.
"...Battle and such, these are words that sound very far away. What exactly am I?" Thinking of this, Azikawa Feng scratched his head in distress.
Then, Feng Zichuan looked down at himself again.
Well, putting aside other things, this thin body doesn’t look like it can fight no matter how you look at it. I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive if I leave the town, right?
"Well, in this case, I can only try my luck in the Adventurer's Guild." Sighing slightly, Feng Zichuan said helplessly.
If we were to ask which type of people spend the most time traveling between floors, it would definitely be the so-called adventurers, a group of people who are unwilling to be lonely and want to see the vast world.
The Adventurer's Guild is a place that provides services mainly to adventurers, where they can rest and take on tasks issued by floor residents to earn money.
In fact, trial-takers and adventurers have a high degree of overlap in nature, but for local residents, the origins of trial-takers are more mysterious than those of adventurers. And because they come here in pursuit of trials, they seem to have some special powers that adventurers do not possess.
In short, Azusakawa Kaede's current thinking is that it's impossible to expect her to fight on her own, so the only thing she can do is to see if there are any adventurer teams planning to go to other floors and give her a ride... Hmm?
Just as he was thinking, Feng Zichuan suddenly heard the somewhat angry voice of old lady Lim coming from outside the room.
"Ah, you kid, you're really going too far. You've only just come back now!"
As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice immediately rang out: "Hey, grandma, please don't say that. I brought guests back tonight!"
Then there was a conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren.
"Liya? She's back?" Feng Zichuan said, she stood up and walked out of the room.
Leah is about the same age as her. After she moved into old lady Lim's house, she became good friends with Leah. For example, at the beginning, it was Leah who took her to familiarize herself with the initial town.
She also learned a lot about Leah, such as why she was keen on becoming an adventurer.
"Liya, you're back...eh?"
After opening the door, Azusagawa Feng said this while looking towards the grandfather and grandson in the living room. However, he saw that there were not only old lady Lim and Leah in the living room, but also two people Azusagawa Feng had never seen before.
There were two people, a man and a woman. The man looked to be about twenty years old, with black hair, very young and handsome; while the girl looked to be about sixteen years old, with short gray hair, very youthful and beautiful.
The two of them were standing outside the door behind Leah at this time. When Azusakawa Feng saw them, they also turned their eyes to Azusakawa Feng.
For a moment, Azusakawa Feng saw the expressions of the two people change instantly, and it was an emotion called surprise.
These two people...could it be possible!
Looking at the two people looking at him, Feng Zichuan seemed to realize something, and his heart in his chest couldn't help but beat violently.
"These two are..." Feng Azusagawa stepped forward and said to Leah anxiously.
"Ah, Xiao Feng! You're just in time!"
Hearing this, Leah looked at the Leah in front of her and immediately smiled happily. She hurriedly pulled Azusakawa Feng to the two people.
"Master Trial-taker, Master! Look, this is the friend I was talking about." Feng Zichuan saw Leah saying to the two people.
Eh? Trialist?
Coming back to his senses, Azusakawa Feng looked at the man and woman in front of him with some surprise.
Are these the two trial-takers that Grandma Lim mentioned? Didn't they all go to the higher floors?
"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't agreed to be your master yet, so don't talk nonsense!" On the other side, the girl with short silver-gray hair said after hearing Leah's name.
Although he said the words of refusal, Azusakawa Feng actually did not sense any resistance in the other party's tone.
So, the other party might really be Leah's master, and since the master refers to this girl, then the trial-taker...
Thinking of this, Feng Zichuan turned his gaze to the man next to the silver-haired girl.
"Hello, my name is Zhao Si, nice to meet you."
The man's somewhat gentle voice sounded in his ears. He didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk to him. Zichuan Feng stared blankly at the man's palm placed in front of him.
"...Hello, I am, Zichuan Feng..." After hesitating for a moment, Zichuan Feng reached out and held Zhao Si's hand.
At this moment, when the two of them were holding each other's hands, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in Zhao Si's mind.
Ding! Task-related information detected, extracting...
Ding! Extraction successful, new task reorganization information added: "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai!"
Congratulations to the host, the mission progress has been improved!
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Si was stunned at first, and then he looked at Zichuan Feng with an even more surprised look.
To be honest, the reason why he showed a surprised expression when he saw Azusakawa Feng at first was mainly because of the panda pajamas that Azusakawa Feng was wearing. The style of this thing was completely incompatible with the world of Sword Art Online, so Zhao Si could tell at a glance that the other party must be one of those people who mysteriously appeared on the first floor.
Well, Zhao Si's original purpose was to get in touch with these people, but he didn't expect to meet them at the home of an "NPC". Since that was the case, Zhao Si naturally did not miss this opportunity and began to take the initiative to contact the other party.
