Maple: I can see hidden messages

[Ding!].

[Your friend: Matthew has sent a message!].

It's not dawn yet.

Kirito was woken up by the sound of the system.

He quickly opened the friends interface and clicked on the message sent by Matthew.

[Matthew: Kiritoro-sama, Kasumi and I have reached the Initial City in a carriage. Where are we going to find you next?].

[Kirito: You can wait for me at the place where you get off the bus, I'll pick you up now!].

[Matthew: Okay, thank you very much!].

Close the communication interface.

Kirito carefully sat up from the bed.

Although he had slowed down his movements, he still accidentally woke up Mei Pulu and Tamanaki Ako, who were sleeping next to him.

Mei Pulu rubbed her eyes, glanced at the time, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Kirito, where are you going so early?"

Kirito reached out and touched her head, "Sorry, woke you up! Matthew and Kasumi are here, I'm going to pick them up at the station!".

Matthew?

Mention the name.

Mepro immediately remembered the Tadun girl she met at the event yesterday.

Her eyes lit up suddenly: "Is Matthew already here? Great! Brother Kirito, I'm going with you too!".

Kirito nodded, "Okay, get up and get dressed!"

On the other side, Tamaoki, who was also awakened, hugged Kirito's arm tightly and asked coquettishly, "Kiri-sama, who are Mathew and Kasumi?"

Kirito casually explained, "The players I met in the game yesterday are very strong, so I invited them to join the gang. They've just reached the Initial City, and we're going to pick them up now, do you want to come along?"

"Hmm!".

Tamaoki Yazi nodded happily: "Where Kiritoro-sama goes, I'll go!"

The three put on their gear.

Leave the hotel and head to the station in the Initial City.

Just arrived at the station.

Kirito was stunned by what he saw.

The station square, which had been closed a few days ago, was now full of horse-drawn carriages. A large number of players are crowded together, crowded with people, and the black pressure is beyond the horizon.

Mei Pulu and Tamaoki Yazi were obviously also shocked by the scene in front of them, and they were stunned and speechless.

The appearance of the trio.

It quickly attracted onlookers from nearby players.

As the top three of this event, plus the speeches of Tamaki Ako and Mepuru on the podium. has made them household names in the game.

"Kaede!".

There was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.

Hear familiar voices.

Mepulu glanced at it subconsciously.

found that Risa Shiramine was standing in the crowd looking at her with Yui and Mai, two little loli.

"Lisa!".

"Kaede!".

The two ran together as fast as they could.

Hug each other vigorously in his arms.

Mepulu said with a complaining face, "Lisa, since you have arrived, why don't you contact me immediately?"

Bai Feng Risa smiled: "I'm not afraid of affecting your rest!"

...

At the time when Mapreu and Risa Shiramine recognized each other.

Kirito also spotted a familiar figure in the crowd of onlookers.

Azusa Aizawa?

He immediately walked over.

I didn't expect to meet Kirito here.

Azusa Aizawa, who was not mentally prepared, panicked on the spot.

What to do?

Still..... Let's run away!

Azusa Aizawa was trying to blend in with the crowd, but was stopped by Laika, Halkala, Beelzebub, and Irena around him.

Huh?

Azusa Aizawa looked at them with a puzzled expression.

Irena grinned, "Hee-hee..... Master, don't try to escape. People have confessed to you on the battlefield, and it's not okay to not respond to them well!".

Respond to ......

Aizawa's face turned red, and how did he respond, he agreed at the time!

was delayed by a few people.

Kirito has already come to the front of Azusa Aizawa: "Phase..... No, it's Azisha....... Well...... What's the name of your game?".

Azusa Aizawa took a deep breath.

At this point, I can only accept it calmly: "Kiritoro-sama, it's good if you call me Azusa Aizawa!".

"Good!".

Kirito agreed.

His gaze turned to the girls beside her.

Laika, Halkala, Beelzebub..... Irena?

Huh?

When he saw Irena, Kirito was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "How could she be with you!".

Aizawa didn't understand why Kirito asked this, but she immediately replied, "Irena, it's my disciple in the novice village!".

I heard Azusa Aizawa introduce herself.

Irena immediately walked up to Kirito's front and bowed deeply: "Kiri-sama, hello! My name is Irena, please take care of me in the future!".

Eh!

Irena bowed suddenly.

Kirito was a little overwhelmed, and he hurriedly returned the salute: "Me too, please take care of me!".

Looking at Kirito who was a little flustered, Laika, Halkala, and Beelzebub all laughed, and they felt that Kirito was not as domineering as Azusa Aizawa said.

So, the three of them stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce themselves to Kirito.

"Kiri-sama, hello. My name is Beelzebub, and I play the role of physical output and defense in the team. Please take care of me in the future!".

"Kiri-sama, hello. My name is Laika and I work as a magician on the team. Please take care of me in the future!".

"Kiri-sama, hello. My name is Halkala and I work as a shooter on the team and my deputy is a winemaker. Please take care of me in the future!".

With the experience of the last time, Kirito is much more relaxed this time: "It's nice to meet you, let's take care of each other in the future!".

Take Azusa Aizawa and her teammates back to Mepru.

Kirito immediately contacted Matthew and sent her his location so that she and Kasumi could come over to join her.

During the time he waited for Matthew, Kirito saw a lot of familiar anime characters, which made him realize that this was originally a variety world.

Suddenly.

A lavish carriage pulls into the square.

As soon as this carriage appeared, it attracted the attention of the surrounding players, even Kirito.

The carriage stopped beside Kirito.

The doors open.

10th place in the PK competition: Sato stepped out of the carriage.

The moment he saw Kirito, his expression was also stunned. Obviously, he didn't mean to let the carriage stop next to Kirito!

When Sato was in a daze.

Several girls stepped down from the carriage one by one, and found Sato staring blankly at Kirito.

The girl with purple hair and a gorgeous princess dress hurriedly pulled Sato's clothes with her hand and whispered, "Sato-sama, it's too rude for you to stare at people like this. Apologize!".

Reminded by the girl.

Sato reacted at this time, and said to Kirito with an embarrassed face, "I'm sorry!".

Kirito waved his hand absently: "It's okay, don't care!".

Seemingly dissatisfied with Sato's apology, the purple-haired girl who had just reminded Sato took the initiative to step forward, picked up the hem of her skirt with both hands, and made a squat salute used by an aristocratic woman to Kirito: "My name is: Arisha." Kiri-sama, please forgive my master for his rudeness, I apologize to you here on his behalf!".

The host?

Kirito was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "No need to apologize, it's okay to say it!".

"Thank you for your generosity!".

Arisa smiled and stood up and continued, "Kiri-sama, can you add a friend to your face? Since everyone is aiming to clear the game, it is inevitable that they will exchange some information in the future!".

Kirito nodded again: "Okay!".
