There was no need for him to mention this matter at all, as "Yui" had brought it up herself. In that case, Zhao Si had nothing more to say. He just wanted Asuna and the others to quickly clear Aincrad and summon the World Gate.

Huh? Speaking of which, she just said "after the agreement is over," right? Does she mean after the trial mission is over?

"Come to think of it, why do we have to wait until the agreement between your sister and I ends before starting the connection?" Zhao Si asked.

"Can't you do that now?"

Ah, this...

Hearing this, "Yui" scratched her head in embarrassment.

Well, that's not possible, because if you don't fulfill the promise you made to your sister, I won't be able to connect with your world.

You should already know this, right? Zhao Si, this world is divided into the front and the back, and as world consciousness, my sister and I manage these two sides respectively.

Not counting the past, now, my sister manages the surface of this world, while I manage the inside.

The virtual world you currently inhabit is actually a domain extending from the surface of this world, and is under the control of my sister. Therefore, I cannot connect with you until the agreement between you and my sister is fulfilled. "Yui" explained.

Ah this...wait!

When Zhao Si heard "Yui", he suddenly realized a big problem.

If the outer side of this world is not under Yui's control, then is there a possibility that when the gate to the world is opened, he may only be able to go through the gate to the inner side of this world, and will not be able to go to the outer side where Asuna and the others are?

If that's the case, then wasn't his happiness just for nothing?

Chapter 554: Make a...game?

The 100th level of the false hell.

"Right now! Haa ...

With a mighty cry, the rapier in Asuna's hand flashed with dazzling light, and she pierced through the huge humanoid BOSS in front of her like a meteor, bringing the battle to a perfect end.

“Crack—bang!”

With the sound of collapse, the BOSS on the 100th floor turned into light and dissipated in front of everyone.

After watching the BOSS disappear, everyone present was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst into warm cheers.

"Ahhhh it worked!"

"Great! Finally succeeded!"

“It’s really great!”

The girls cheered and hugged each other excitedly.

There were still five days until the final boss battle. At this moment, they had finally successfully completed their training kill of the boss on the 100th floor of the false hell. This gave them more confidence for the final battle in five days.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Congratulations on successfully defeating the BOSS on the 100th floor. Although it doesn't count in the fake hell, I believe you can do it in five days." Clapping his hands, Zhao Si came to the girls and said.

"Mr. Zhao Si!!"

"Brother Zhao Si!!"

Seeing this, the girls surrounded Zhao Si excitedly, chattering to him and sharing their joy.

Zhao Si smiled and responded to the girls' words. After they calmed down a little, he said:

"Alright, after training for so long, I believe you must be tired. Go back and rest. Regain your energy so that you can better participate in the final battle."

Upon hearing this, the girls who were originally excited suddenly felt a sense of fatigue coming over them, and fatigue appeared on their faces one after another.

In order to familiarize themselves with the BOSS's moves as quickly as possible, they had been undergoing high-intensity training for several consecutive days. Now that their goal had been achieved, after hearing what Zhao Si said, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days naturally burst out.

Take Gabriel for example. This guy was lazy to begin with, and now he was in a state of half-asleep and half-wakefulness, with his upper and lower eyelids fighting fiercely.

"That's right, I'm so tired."

"Haaah, I'm so sleepy. I want to go back to sleep."

"Since you said so, Zhao Si, I'll leave first."

"Then Brother Zhao Si, goodbye, I'm leaving first."

"..."

The girls said goodbye to Zhao Si one after another, and then left in groups of three or four.

Soon, only Zhao Si, Zhao Wu, Erya and Asuna were left in the palace on the 100th floor of the false hell.

Looking at Asuna, Zhao Si thought for a moment, then gave Zhao Wu and Erya a very covert look, and then said, "You guys go back and rest first. I have some things to do here, and it won't be too short. You guys go back and rest first."

"Ah this..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu and Erya looked at each other. They had just received Zhao Si's hint, and combined with Zhao Si's words, they quickly understood Zhao Si's purpose.

"Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do..." Niya said, looking at Asuna.

"Then let's go, Asuna. I'm so tired. I want to go back and take a shower and get some sleep."

"Then take your time with your work, brother. I'm leaving too." Zhao Wu said.

Seeing her companions all saying the same thing, although Asuna wanted to stay, she was too embarrassed to ask for it. In addition, she was really tired, so she said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao Si, I'll be leaving first."

"Well, go back. You have been training recently, and Yui really wants you to accompany her." Zhao Si said.

"Yui..." Upon hearing this, Asuna thought of her daughter and a hint of apology appeared on her face.

"Then I'm leaving, Mr. Zhao Si."

Asuna said this, following Zhao Wu and Erya and leaving the 100th floor.

After watching the three people leave, Zhao Si just sat down with a thoughtful look on his face.

Not long after, a blue light appeared in the palace again, and a portal rose out of thin air. Two figures walked out of it. They were Zhao Wu and Erya who had already left.

"Brother, is there something wrong? You asked us to help you get Asuna away." Zhao Wu said curiously when he came to Zhao Si.

"Uh, let me guess, what Asuna can't know must be something about Gensokyo, right?" Niya said.

After saying that, as if she had guessed something, Erya looked at Zhao Si in surprise and said, "That's not right, Zhao Si, you sent Asuna away. Does that mean you don't plan to tell her your true identity? You don't plan to take her back to Gensokyo?"

As the game was about to be completed, Erya knew that when they finished the game, it would also mean that Zhao Si's trial mission would be over, and then they would have to return to Gensokyo.

According to Zhao Si's personality, since he has already acknowledged Asuna, he will definitely take Asuna and Yui away with him.

But now, judging from Zhao Si's expression, it seems that he doesn't intend to take Asuna away with him?

"Ah? Is this true? Brother, don't you intend to take responsibility?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu stared at Zhao Si with a look as if he was looking at a scumbag.

"...When did I say I didn't want to take Asuna back? Hey, Xiao Wu, what's with that look in your eyes? Am I that kind of person?" Upon hearing that, Zhao Si said to the two of them unhappily.

Then, before Zhao Wu and Erya could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Si said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to, but given the current situation, I can't take Asuna back to Gensokyo for the time being."

"Ah? Why is that?" the two were stunned and asked.

Zhao Si naturally had no intention of hiding the problem from the two. The reason why he left the two of them alone and sent Asuna away was to tell them about this matter.

Zhao Si slowly explained the whole story, and Zhao Wu and Erya finally understood why Zhao Si said he couldn't rather than didn't want to.

The gate to the world cannot be opened, and even if it is opened, it can only connect to the inner side of this world. There is no way to connect to the surface daily world where Asuna and others are. Regarding this situation, the two of them also empathized with Zhao Si's helplessness.

"No way, is there no other way? For example, brother, you can make a deal with that world consciousness?" Zhao Wu said.

"If possible, of course I would like to, but I don't know why, the consciousness of the other world doesn't seem to like me very much. Except for the one encounter before, I have never seen her again." Zhao Si said.

"Well, is there a possibility that you have offended someone in some way? Otherwise, why would they dislike you for no reason?" Erya said.

"...Should be, right?" Zhao Si frowned and thought about it. He didn't think he had done anything out of line.

Could it be because of the magic array he had researched earlier? Or was it because he had gone outside of Aincrad to make pills some time ago?

Otherwise, it couldn't be because he went fishing on the 22nd floor? Who kept some pets in the lake?

But he has never caught any fish. What's the point of catching any fish without a hook?

Shaking his head, Zhao Si felt that this statement was unreliable.

"Well, there must be a reason anyway. Otherwise, how could the world consciousness come to target you specifically?" Erya shrugged.

"...Anyway, the situation has come to this, and we must find a way to solve it. I believe you definitely don't want to miss Asuna and the others, right? Don't you want to take a look at the outside of this world?" Zhao Si said, looking at the two of them.

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Zhao Wu and Erya looked at each other.

Just kidding, that's definitely what they were thinking about. In a world where so many anime characters gather, they couldn't even imagine what stories would happen.

But how could they solve this problem? The two of them fell into deep thought.

at this time...

"Hmm...hmm? I suddenly have an idea..." A light bulb went off in his head, and Zhao Si suddenly said, attracting the attention of Zhao Wu and Erya.

"What idea?" they said in unison.

"Well, this idea is..."

"Let's play a game." Zhao Si clapped his hands and said.

"ha!?"

Zhao Wu and Erya looked at each other and saw the confusion and doubt in each other's eyes.

Make a... game?

Chapter 555 Father and Daughter

The ninety-ninth floor of Aincrad.

At this time, a square formation of nearly fifty players was lined up on the floor teleportation square, and right in front of these people, a tall man in red armor was making his final pre-war declaration.

Today was an important day, because today the raiders would launch a final assault on the highest levels of Aincrad. If successful, they would end this painful prison that had trapped them for a year and a half and gain their freedom.

Everyone was very excited. They stared at the man in front of the team with eager eyes, and their emotions surged to the peak because of his speech.

"Well, Miss Zhao Wu, do you have anything else to say?" After a while, the speech ended, and Heathcliff turned his head and looked at Zhao Wu, who was hugging her chest and looking bored.

There must be a leader in a team, and in the strategy group at this time, the leaders who can be called leaders are obviously the presidents of the major guilds.

"No, if there's nothing else, then let's get going quickly." Hearing this, Zhao Wu glanced at him and said.

"Really? Then, Miss Kuroyukihime?" Seeing this, Heathcliff turned his gaze to Kuroyukihime on the other side.

"Mr. Heathcliff has already said everything I wanted to say." Kuroyukihime said, and her attitude towards Heathcliff seemed a little dull, even wary.

Regarding the other party's identity, if Zhao Wu had not repeatedly assured her that she was not joking, she might really not have believed that this man with a good reputation in the strategy group was actually the culprit of all this, Kayaba Akihiko.

Although Zhao Wu also said that the other party had probably lost the identity authority of the game GM and became just an ordinary player like them, but no matter what, after learning the other party's true identity, Kuroyukihime never let down her guard against the other party.

"In that case..."

Hearing this, Heathcliff glanced at Kuroyukihime. He could clearly feel the other party's vigilance towards him.

As expected, did you know my identity?

But what good was knowing that? It was meaningless. I had lost all control of the game.

Shaking his head, Heathcliff no longer cared about this matter. He looked at the high-spirited team in front of him, waved his hand, and said:

"Then let's go! Fight for final victory and freedom!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!" Upon hearing this, the players all made excited noises.

Of course, people like Zhao Wu who knew Heathcliff's true identity also shouted a few times, but what they felt more in their hearts was contempt for Heathcliff.

How can this person have the nerve to say this, fight for freedom and victory?

However, despite his contempt, Heathcliff is at least a top-tier fighter, and his unique skill, the "Holy Sword", is also very useful. This is why Zhao Wu and the others did not choose to expose Heathcliff's identity as Kayaba Akihiko.

The pre-war declaration was over, and the next step was the battle. Everyone in the strategy team took a deep breath for the upcoming battle, and then entered the teleportation point one after another.

Just as the final battle to liberate all players was about to begin, on the other side, on the 22nd floor of Aincrad, in the lakeside cabin.

"Calculating the time, Asuna and the others should have already started, right?" Sitting in front of the window, Zhao Si looked at the sky outside.

"Dad, Mom, will they succeed?"

In Zhao Si's arms, Yui, who was wearing a white dress, looked up at Zhao Si with a worried look on her face and asked.

"Of course, your mother and your aunt are very strong. They can definitely defeat the final BOSS and liberate everyone." Zhao Si said with a smile, touching Yui's hair.

"Well! Since Dad said so, Yui also believes that Mom and the others will definitely succeed!" Hearing this, Yui nodded and said excitedly.
