I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

"How do you want to leave this world?"

Yimi didn't waste time talking to them and got straight to the point.

"I feel like this isn't a topic I can discuss with you guys."

Kirito sat on the bed and patted his side to signal Yimi to sit down as well.

Yimi sat next to him obediently.

Kirito didn't answer immediately, but put his hand on her head and stroked it for a while.

"We're not really sure about this kind of thing."

Leaving himself time to think, he tried to come up with an explanation that wouldn't shatter his worldview: "We can be considered people from another world."

What's so strange about this?

Not seeing the expected shocked reaction, Kirito coughed twice and continued: "There is an evil guy who has imprisoned the 'souls' of more than ten thousand people in our world here, telling us that we can only be released home after defeating one hundred opponents."

Aincrad is set as a huge floating fortress exiled to the sky, which contains most of the races that the world should have, such as elves.

But because of the loss of the protection of the Holy Tree, almost all magic here has been lost, and even things like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow are impossible. The only trace of magic is things like transfer crystals, so explaining it with the word "soul" should be understandable to people.

"We have defeated more than sixty enemies, but..."

But what will happen after that? Will Kayaba Akihiko keep his promise, and if he does, what will become of the world?

In his humble opinion, the seed of the first fully infiltration game will never be abandoned, but this world with problems everywhere will definitely undergo large-scale rectification and even rewrite. By then, wouldn't it be the end of the world for people like Yimi Yui who actually live in this world?

No matter how much he said it, he couldn't bring himself to say these words. The players wouldn't talk about reality to prevent them from dwelling on what would happen to them in real life. They were just blindly deceiving themselves...

Kirito lowered his head and looked at the little girl beside him, and found that there was a lively gleam in her big eyes.

"What if you defeat the enemy but the bad guy won't let you go home?"

"Well, I've also... no, everyone has thought about this."

Kirito clenched his fists. "But for us, this is the only hope we can hold on to. Since what can be done is already in front of us, there is no reason to put it aside."

"..."

Yimi opened his system and focused his attention on the progress of the reorganization.

"With our bodies unable to move freely, our families have to take great pains to take care of us during this period. No one knows what will happen in the end, so I will get through this. I'm sorry, I will find a way to keep us together."

Kirito hugged Yimi and gave her some simple comfort.

At the last moment, Kayaba Akihiko, the mastermind behind the incident, will definitely appear, and Kirito wants to talk to him.

So much time has passed, and although the anger still remains, Kirito's hatred for Kayaba Akihiko has long since decreased significantly. It is very hypocritical to say this, as this guy has killed thousands of people. However, it is also thanks to Kayaba Akihiko that he was able to meet Asuna, Imi, and Yui.

"Kirito..."

Asuna left the bed and sat on the other side of Yimi, hugging her gently as well.

"Also, I've been thinking about one thing all year. There's nothing more boring than watching other people play games. Where is this guy Kayaba Akihiko?"

Kirito recalled the scene before he joined the Blood Alliance Knights. He felt that he was probably overthinking it, but he did not rule out this possibility.

In addition...

"Asuna, you're not wearing any clothes."

"Shut up!"?

Didn't you take the initiative to take it off just now?

……

"What did you tell Mom and Dad?"

Yui hugged Yimi again.

"They said there was a bad guy who wouldn't let them go home, and that the bad guy might be hiding among the players."

It's clearly very similar to her system.

Yimi grabbed the quilt and shook it to prevent Yui from secretly hiding Mr. Crocodile while she was away.

"Meow?"

Yui tilted her head and imitated Yimi's speaking habits.

"what happened?"

Yui shook her head: "I haven't paid attention to these, but I know where the GM emergency login system console is, although it is very dangerous."

Chapter 33: Press randomly.

"Have you heard? The boss room on the 65th floor has been discovered."

"Eh? We've only explored one-third of this level of the maze, right? Aren't every five levels a watershed? Shouldn't we level up a bit more first just to be safe?"

"Forget it, I don't want to stay on this floor for even a minute longer."

"Damn it!"

The sudden shout attracted the attention of everyone who was talking.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"My friend in the Blood Alliance Knights told me that their vice-leader has already confirmed his marriage to that two-sword style guy!"

The guild leader gritted his teeth and lowered his chest.

In this game where female players account for a very small proportion and beautiful women are hard to find, Asuna's popularity in the strategy group is undoubtedly the highest.

"Ha...it's a shame, but the president hasn't even spoken to me yet. Beating my chest here won't do anything except look like a monkey who failed in his courtship."

His bad friends didn't give him any face.

"Shut up, I'm just a little sad."

The president coughed twice.

People cannot hang themselves on a tree. However, when you see a beautiful woman, apart from the simple admiration, you will always feel a sense of emptiness and loss when you think that you may never have any intersection with her in this life.

But compared to the unreachable Ghost of the Strategy Team, the more popular one right now is...

"Sa——"

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air and the special effects sound of the monster shattering and disappearing made the president look in that direction involuntarily. He saw the girl he had just recalled in his mind, clearing the maze alone as usual. She wielded the one-handed sword very skillfully, and even under the siege of a group of ghosts and scarecrows, she did not reduce her health bar to the yellow line.

I was still afraid of being recognized, so I definitely couldn't pull out my second sword. Anyway, the one-handed sword was more than enough.

Before the two-wielding swordsman, the 'black-clad one-handed swordsman in the clearing group who doesn't use a shield' had already gained considerable fame. His current appearance wasn't too out of place, though. While the advantage of a one-handed sword is that you can carry an additional shield, having a female player carry one would be a bit unsightly...

Of course, this kind of princess-like habit is quite rare in the strategy group, but anyway, no one in the strategy group has seen him now, right?

After killing a wave of monsters, Kirito successfully blocked the last bit of experience bar to reach the next level and breathed a sigh of relief. He put away his sword and prepared to rush to attend the BOSS combat meeting on the 65th floor.

"Please wait!"

The guild leader at the back took a bold step forward and called out to him, "Don't leave yet. Do you remember me? You saved me once before."

After hearing the news that Asuna was married, he finally figured it out. If he didn't take the initiative, he would always be a sad bachelor who might not even have a chance to meet the beautiful girl he admired.

Kirito stopped for a moment and gave him a confused look.

"My name is Roger. Can you tell me your name? Uh... I mean, can I treat you to a meal as a thank you for what happened last time?"

what is this?

Kirito looked away and apologized quietly: "I'm sorry, I'm married."

get married……

Married...

Up...

Even after Kirito ran away for a long time, the president still didn't recover from the good smile he was holding on to. He didn't know how long it would take for him to be introverted in exchange for his momentary initiative.

"Chong-"

There is a hidden maze underground on the first floor. It is unlocked only after reaching a certain floor, so it has never been discovered.

The strategy team only cares about the strategies of the higher-level players. Most of the players who choose to live on the first floor don't even want to participate in monster farming. The ones with the best chance of discovering this maze are the "army" of the main guild of the two-in-one former strategy team.

He looks like the god of death holding a scythe and has a strength of more than ninety levels. This is the guardian blocking the GM emergency login system console, but he still can't get any advantage in the face of Yimi's pure adaptive force of this world.

You only need to make some movements to trigger the special effects. This was the first time Yimi encountered such a tough monster in the world, so he used it to experiment with his own moves.

In fact, the effect is that he completely gave up the insect stick gun technique and just waved it randomly. With the help of special effects, it actually looks quite realistic.

"Yimi, stop playing."

Yui called out from the distance behind.

In fact, it doesn't matter if she doesn't stand away, because even if the Grim Reaper swings his knife at her, it will only trigger a "non-attackable target" warning.

"Oh."

Yimi swung the spear, which was longer than she was tall, and shouted, "Spear of the Lord!"

In fact, she did not really release the treasure, but after she shouted, the adaptive force of this world still helped her complete the release effect, piercing the Death God in the form of a straight light gun that occupied most of the maze passage, completely cutting off the remaining half of its health bar.

What Keaiduo's teacher taught was right, the moves have to be shouted out, but it's not cool without the real Noble Phantasm.

"It's the room in front."

Yui pointed forward and then retracted her finger.

"But before that, Yimi, you must be the incarnation of Cardinal, right?"

When talking about this topic again, Yui's expression became serious again.

Because according to the regulations, programs like Yui are absolutely not allowed to interfere with the GM emergency login system. If they do, the consequence will be that they will be wiped out by Cardinal.

Likewise, pulling her out of her confined corner and fixing her broken program was something only Cardinal could do, short of having the programmers spend time re-writing the code.

If Yimi just had other programs that she didn't know about, she would probably be scrubbed by Cardinal for violating the rules.

"What Cardinal?"

Yimi had never heard of it.

But that didn't stop her from running into the room that was so empty that there was only a stone platform.

Kirito and Asuna were very nice to her, and they were both in the same boat of not being able to go home. Although Maomao herself couldn't go home for the time being, she was willing to help them.

"and many more……"

Without waiting for Yui to stop her, Yimi placed her hands on the stone platform that was almost as high as her chest, and a keyboard of light and shadow suddenly appeared.

Of course Yimi knew this thing. Her grandmother used to have a thing that could be opened and closed and had a keyboard. It was always warm and Yimi liked to lie on it, but she was often driven away by her grandmother.

"How to use this?"

"This Yimi should be usable directly."

Yui looked at Yimi in confusion.

"Well……"

Yimi reached out and started typing randomly on the keyboard.

"Wait, stop!"

Yui hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was too late.

In the 65th floor BOSS room, the members of the strategy team are leading Heathcliff to attack the BOSS. The floor that should have been difficult for them is still easy to handle with the help of the rat soup buff. The difficulty has deviated from what Heathcliff expected.

But it doesn't matter. With this mentality, their strategy team will suffer losses in the future sooner or later. For example, the difficulty starting from the 75th floor will become like hell mode.

As expected, this BOSS was smooth to the point of being boring.

Just as Heathcliff was thinking this while raising his shield to block, something strange suddenly happened to the BOSS. A slap directly knocked Heathcliff away and reduced his health by a quarter even when he was holding up his shield.

"Captain!"

Heathcliff: "?"
