I'm writing a diary in a comic book, and there are too many female protagonists.

Yesterday, my younger sister, Suguha Kiritani, entered the game and was also brought into Horuka by her.

Although Horuka covers a small area, it is a very small village.

But although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Whether it is a hotel, a weapon shop or a prop shop, all the key shopping places are available here.

At the same time, the monsters around Horuka are not of high level, which is within the level that the two sisters can deal with.

If Kayaba Akihiko really turned SAO into a killing game, then Horuka's strategic significance would be even greater.

Because this is a green circle town.

It is relatively safer.

Even red-named players cannot break the rules and kill people here.

On the first level, there are many small villages like Horuka that can be used as bases.

Tongzi chose this place at the beginning because there were popular tasks during the internal testing period inside Horuka.

[Secret Medicine of the Forest]

This mission requires the destruction of predatory plant ovules in the western forests, which are used as medicine to treat diseases.

The reward is "the sword passed down from ancestors".

Tongzi knew that the sword passed down from his ancestors was called the "Sword of Toughness".

It is a sword that is sufficient for use up to the third level.

In the early stages, it is a small and exquisite item that is worth buying.

Even though Tongzi already has an interpreter given by Li Ze, she also has two hands.

The training over the past two days has given her an exclusive skill called dual-wielding.

"Thank you, adventurer. I give you the sword."

After handing the collected items to the NPC mother-in-law, the question mark on the NPC's head disappeared.

What was handed over next was the small top-grade weapon from the early stage, the Sword of Toughness.

"Next we can go to some more dangerous places."

Tongzi swung his sword twice and made some sword moves.

After two days of training, her agility has exceeded 20.

Except for magic power, all other attribute points have exceeded 10 points.

Based on damage calculations, her current level has exceeded level 5 during the internal testing period.

According to her planned plan, after reaching level 5, she can move to a higher level to gain strength.

If you want to continue to level up quickly, it is necessary to fight monsters of higher levels.

It’s a pity for Tongzi that she doesn’t have Li Ze’s grace acceleration function yet.

There is even no grace engraved on it.

In this way, the efforts of the past two days seem to have been wasted.

Tongzi really hopes that Li Ze can come and recruit them soon.

She would definitely surrender without saying a word.

"Thank you, adventurer. This sword is for you."

The NPC grandmother said exactly the same words and gave out another sword of toughness.

"That's strange. Logically, she only needs one copy of this material, right?"

"And this is a weapon left by our ancestors. There must be only one, right?"

Kiritani Suguha, or Leafa, couldn't help but complain.

In her hand, there was also a tough sword.

This game is so realistic in every way that it sometimes makes her mistakenly think she is still in reality.

Only at this time, the sense of immersion is instantly stripped away.

It made Leafa realize clearly that she was playing a game.

This feels extremely awkward.

"When a question mark appeared over her head, you should have found it strange, right?"

Tongzi complained back.

Would a normal person have a question mark above his head?

If it’s time to complain, then you can complain then.

“The feeling then wasn’t as deep as it is now.”

"But this game is really amazing. I can hardly tell the difference between virtual and reality."

Leafa waved the Sword of Forge in her hand, her tone full of amazement.

Even though they had been playing for a long time, she was still in this state of panic.

From her perspective, SAO is almost identical to reality, and the experience is like a second life.

No wonder my sister is so obsessed.

"Want to go together next time?"

Kiriko asked.

She could level up before, but the situation that followed was a bit special.

"You really want to do that?"

Leafa hesitated.

"Of course, I want to practice in a more realistic mode."

Tongzi was very determined.

Unlike Leafa, the magic swordsman who wanted to learn magic, she only cared about sword skills.

This game is called SwordArtOnline, and during the beta period, it only had sword skills.

In Tongzi's opinion, any remote means are evil!

But after two days of fighting, Tongzi found that her training method was not enough.

It's far from the truth.

What Tongzi needs is reality, the closer to reality the better!

"It's going to hurt, are you sure?"

Leafa wanted to stop him, but she didn't know what to say.

In her opinion, if Tongzi gave up the idea of ​​just focusing on swordsmanship, she wouldn't have to do such a dangerous thing.

"I've decided that ranged combat isn't my style."

"Take a deep breath, exhale... take a deep breath, exhale..."

After making some mental preparations, Tongzi adjusted the pain sensitivity to a higher level.

The default pain level in the game is not high, but it will be very uncomfortable after being cut.

To reach the level that Tongzi is at now is already a level of self-abuse.

Tongzi would do such an extreme thing not only because he would follow Li Ze into battle and kill the enemy in the future.

In the game, she ultimately had no fear of death.

A few days ago, when she was fighting monsters, she wouldn't even dodge some attacks that didn't deal much damage.

That's too inefficient to farm monsters.

Tongzi originally thought it was nothing, all games were like that.

It was only after Leafa saw it and complained that Kiriko realized something was wrong.

With her fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries, she will suffer in the future if she follows Li Ze in reality.

She must be more cautious and treat SAO as a killing game.

Only by dodging enemy attacks in close combat can she become a top swordsman in reality.

If she couldn't do that, she would have to give up her favorite sword skills.

The fear-of-death fighting style must be cultivated now!

"I can't convince you, but you have to be careful. If you can't bear it, you have to give up."

"You are my only sister."

"If anything happens to you, I'll ignore you."

Leafa knew that she couldn't persuade Kiriko, so she could only make the situation sound more serious.

This time she wasn't being tsundere.

If Tongzi really didn't know how to cherish herself, she would really ignore her sister.

"And Li Ze won't let you harm yourself like this. I'll talk to him and see what you do."

Leafa pulled out her trump card.

She was really afraid that her sister would get sick from the pain.

"Don't say his name. What if he hears it?"

Kiriko quickly covered Leafa's mouth.

They are all in the game world now.

Theoretically, Li Ze could monitor their every move.

On the premise that they didn't know Li Ze in real life, they suddenly brought up this name which is very rare in Japan, which made it clear at first glance that there was something fishy going on.

Kiriko didn't want to be punished by the diary copy for such a strange reason.

"...N-Ngh! Let me go!"

"Li Ze is so busy, how can he have time to monitor us?"

"Sister, please don't have this kind of persecution delusion."

As soon as Leafa finished speaking, she received a notification that she had received an email.

[Congratulations to player "Leafa" for gaining the favor of the legendary figure Li Ze. Please rush to the mission location.]

【Are you following the task instructions? 】

After reading the email, Leafa fell silent.

On the other side, Tongzi also received the same email.

"The diary didn't punish us, which means it was just a coincidence that the mail arrived."

"It's not Li Ze who is monitoring our conversation. Don't be nervous."

Tongzi panicked for a moment, but then calmed down.

"That's right, but why is it such a coincidence?"

Leafa looked around, then looked around.

She really felt insecure at this moment.

It's like there are a pair of eyes around me staring at me all the time.

"Anyway, let's go first. Li Ze wants to recruit us as his subordinates."

After saying this, Tongzi clicked on the task instructions.

The directions to a specific location are indicated.

That's where the starting town is located.
