Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World
"I understand the feeling of suddenly becoming a father!"
Subaru knew this all too well. He just woke up and saw a little girl rushing in calling him daddy!
This was immense psychological pressure for someone who hadn't even had a girlfriend yet!
The key point was that this daughter was his own biological child [1]from the future!
Who could he reason with about this!?.....
KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!
"Kazuma, why are you crying again?"
Aqua patted his head in confusion. Why had he been crying ever since the light screen appeared?...
Was he homesick?
"Leave me alone!"
Kazuma's fragile heart was hit hard again. He was already sour seeing Rudeus's descendants filling the house.
Now there was another couple; who could bear it!
Then he looked at himself.
Dealing with Aqua and the others' messes every day, constantly on the brink of death.
Just thinking about it made him sad. His request was normal—just have normal teammates!
Gods: "The request is too difficult; let's find someone else..."....
Sword Art Online World
"I never expected such a young player to enter this death game!"
"Is there any news about this child?"
"Where are her parents?"
In reality, countless people saw the little girl and blamed her parents for letting her wander outside alone!
If she had encountered the Laughing Coffin members, wouldn't the outcome have been terrible?
Fortunately, she met this young couple; it would have been hard to say if it were anyone else!
At Agil's Shop
Asuna looked shyly at Kirito, lowered her head, and glanced at him from time to time...
This made Kirito feel like he was on pins and needles, unable to walk or sit still.
Agil sighed helplessly and looked at the sky. The white clouds gradually distorted and soon turned into a dog's head smiling at him...
So outrageous!
Damn it!...
[The Screen Continues]
[A little black-haired girl named Yui...]
[To find Yui's family, Kirito and Asuna took her to the Starting City...]
[As they walked down the street, the surroundings weren't as lively as before. It was somewhat gloomy, with hardly anyone in sight...]
["Hey... Kirito... how many players are still here now?..."]
["I think... including the Army... about 30% of the players remain in the Starting City..."]
[After all, not everyone dared to charge forward bravely. Between survival and hardship, many chose survival...]
[Suddenly, a cry for help caught their attention...]
[The two quickly went over and rescued the children surrounded by Army players. Under Asuna's cold gaze, the Army players fled in panic...]
[Although attacking others in the city caused no damage, the feeling of being hit was real...]
[After all, psychological torment far outweighed physical pain...] ...
The leading Army players in the Starting City blushed upon seeing this, lowered their heads, and slammed the table in anger.
"Which bastard did this? It must be someone from Kibaou's faction!"
"Quickly remove him from his position, expel him from our guild, and banish him!"
This was too ugly!
They were the ones being shamed thousands of miles away!
They were the ones bullying children!
If this continued and was exposed again, wouldn't they lose all face!?
"These guys actually know shame? I thought they'd lost it long ago!"
Yolko looked at these hypocrites with disdain. If her beloved hadn't been here, she would have left long ago!
"It seems we need to clean up the guild's internal issues now!"
Thinka's face was extremely gloomy. His original intention in creating the Army guild was for everyone to share equally.
Now, internal divisions were gradually splitting them apart, and his authority was diminishing. He had to solve this problem immediately!.....
[On Screen]
[Yui reached her hands into the air as if grabbing something...]
[Then, a harsh sound pierced through the entire Starting City!]
[Yui gradually lost consciousness under this noise...]
[Kirito and the others followed the children to a church. There were many children here...]
[Every child had a happy smile, seeming to be doing well...] .....
"Great, my child is safe!"
"Thank God! And that kind girl, so grateful to her!"
In reality, some families finally relaxed upon seeing their children were safe and unharmed.
After all, the children were just ordinary people; surviving was already lucky!.....
[On Screen]
[A silver-haired woman came to the door, claiming to be Yolko from the Army...]
[She asked the two to help her rescue Thinka, who was trapped in the labyrinth...]
[Asuna was a bit hesitant. Because of Kuradeel, she was now very wary...]
[But Yui, beside her, smiled and said Yolko wasn't lying...]
[Kirito also chose to believe her and decided to help. After all, this guild had a huge number of people; there were both bad and good among them...] .....
"Thank you so much!"
Yolko was slightly excited. Fortunately, the light screen exposed recent events, preventing Thinka from being tricked by Kibaou!
Now they finally had reason to expel Kibaou, the troublemaker inside!
"Kibaou! I never thought you'd do such a thing!"
Those who supported Kibaou sensed something was wrong and quickly turned on him, selling him out.
"You guys!"
"Didn't you say you'd always support me?"
Kibaou looked angrily at these losers. They were afraid of being implicated, so they directly blamed him!
Not far away, Thinka slowly walked toward him, his expression grim. They were all players in a death game; why couldn't they work together to overcome the difficulties?...
He didn't understand this, and it was something many players didn't understand either...
[On Screen]
[Kirito moved through the labyrinth as if it were no man's land, also collecting many ingredients...]
[When Asuna saw these frog legs, she was so frightened she swore she'd never cook them!]
[The cheerful atmosphere between the two brought the lifeless labyrinth to life...]
[Yolko also looked at them curiously. Since the game began, it seemed she hadn't seen such optimistic people in a long time...]
[Finally, they saw Thinka trapped in the safe house at the labyrinth's end...]
[Thinka in the distance kept waving his hands, and Yolko misunderstood, hurriedly running over...]
["No! Not that way!"]
[Kirito also sensed something wrong. The air around him grew colder. He looked at the monster information displayed on the wall...]
[Suddenly, a huge scythe slashed out from the wall!]
[Boom!]
[Kirito hurriedly protected Yolko, the «Elucidator» digging into the ground to evade the attack...]
[The originally dark labyrinth was quickly covered by a starry sky, as if it were a different space!]
[A black shadow swiftly穿梭 (darted) through the starry wall...]
[Asuna told her and Yui to hide in the safe house, then turned and stood with Kirito...]
[When she saw this monster, she broke out in a cold sweat...]
[It was a Grim Reaper holding a scythe, suspended in the air!]
[The breath of death washed over them, and everything around turned extremely cold...] ....
"Is this the Grim Reaper? It seems they've encountered a major crisis this time!"
Seiya could tell at a glance that this Grim Reaper wasn't like the monsters they faced.
The Grim Reaper's level probably far surpassed theirs; its strength wasn't even on the same dimension.
It reminded him of the Death God he encountered before, equally incomprehensible. If the God of Destruction hadn't intervened, they would have died at its hands!
In SAO
Ice Dragon: "This is my new big brother from now on!"
The Renegade: "Why do you keep recognizing big brothers everywhere? This is obviously my big brother!"
Gleam Eyes: "You guys, get out of the way! This is my big brother!"
All Bosses: "Gleam Eyes, please return to your former unruly self!"
They were a bit uncomfortable with this current attitude.....
[On Screen]
[Kirito was more nervous than ever; this Grim Reaper wasn't something he could handle!]
["Asuna, take Yui and the others and use the Teleport Crystal to escape!"]
["My identification skill can't read its information!"]
["Probably level 90!"]
[The Grim Reaper's information surpassed Kirito's understanding; it definitely wasn't a boss they could deal with now!]
["I'll delay it; you all run!"]
[All he could do now was stall; this was his limit!]
[Asuna gritted her teeth. She wouldn't abandon Kirito and leave alone. If they had to die, they'd die together!]
[The Grim Reaper was furious. How dare he try to delay time in front of it!]
["Roar!!!"]
[The Grim Reaper raised its scythe and struck down hard!]
[Kirito and Asuna combined their three swords to block it!]
[Boom!]
["Ah!!!"]
[The moment they made contact, the two were sent flying, landing heavily on the ground!]
[Despite their best defense, they still lost two-thirds of their HP!]
[Kirito tried to get up, but the damage at that moment left him unable to move...]
["Kirito-kun!"]
[Asuna looked desperately at the Grim Reaper before her...] ...
Grim Reaper: "All of you here are younger brothers. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
The bosses watched in awe. They had all fought these players back and forth!
Only the Grim Reaper defeated them with one blow, even blasting the Black Swordsman to the ground!
With such power, they could only shout...
Ice Dragon: "Big brother is mighty!"
Kobold Lord: "Big brother is so strong!"
The Renegade: "Big brother is awesome!"
Gleam Eyes: "Big brother is awesome!"
Gleam Eyes felt more comfortable than ever, dancing with excitement in the labyrinth room...
This time, the Grim Reaper would definitely reap the black and white duo!...
[On Screen]
[Yui broke free from Yolko's Teleport Crystal...]
[She walked step by step before the Grim Reaper, her expression calm, like a deity...]
[The Grim Reaper's eyeballs kept rotating, as if surprised another child dared stand before it!]
[It raised its scythe and swung horizontally at Yui...]
[Asuna closed her eyes in fear, not daring to watch Yui be cut in half...]
[However...]
[When she opened her eyes, she saw Yui standing unharmed, and the Grim Reaper was repelled...]
[Text displayed above Yui's head...]
[Indestructible Object]
[Yui slowly floated into the air, raised her hand, and reached forward...]
[A burst of flames swept over her body, her clothes transforming into a snow-white dress, like a white lotus of karma, beautiful and powerful...]
[The flame in her hand turned into a fiery sword several meters long, emitting terrifying heat!]
[Huh? ? ?]
[The Grim Reaper's brain short-circuited; it didn't know what it was facing!]
[With a stern expression, Yui leaped up and struck at the Grim Reaper!]
[The Grim Reaper hurriedly raised its scythe to block, but in just a few seconds, the scythe turned into magma, and the flames engulfed the Grim Reaper!]
[In less than a moment, the Grim Reaper turned to ashes and vanished before everyone...] ...
Gleam Eyes: "Is my eyesight not good? This feels even worse than my defeat..."
The Renegade: "This... maybe a performance error?"
Ice Dragon: "That... I'll wait for the next big brother!"
Grim Reaper: "..."
The players stared in shock at Yui. Wasn't this little girl's strength a bit terrifying?
This was a boss even the Black Swordsman couldn't resist!
Even if all players teamed up, they couldn't fight it!
"How did she do that? Why have I never seen her before?"
"With this strength, I'd call her the strongest!"...
[On Screen]
[Yui looked calmly at Kirito and Asuna...]
[Yui took them to the console and told them the truth...]
[This SAO was controlled by a massive system, requiring no manual maintenance, autonomously adjusting balance...]
[Yui was a mental health counseling program created to heal people's spirits...]
[She was a sentient AI, no different from ordinary people!]
[However, the system strictly prohibited her from communicating with players and confined her to a dark space...]
[She watched the players every day. Their despair, fear, and other emotions affected Yui, gradually causing her spirit to collapse...]
[Until one day, she discovered a happy relationship different from others—Kirito and Asuna's...]
[To meet Kirito and the others, she stayed on the 22nd floor...]
[Now that she had seen them, she wanted to part ways...]
[Because she used her administrator privileges to kill the Grim Reaper, the system identified her as an anomaly and sought to eliminate her...]
[Under Yui's reluctant gaze, she vanished before the two...]
["Ah!!!"]
[Asuna crouched on the ground, crying heartbrokenly...]
["Kayaba!"]
[Kirito was furious. Seeming to remember something, while the console was still usable, he quickly saved Yui's program into a tear-shaped crystal...]
[As long as they could log out, they could meet Yui again!]
