Sword Art Online's
the chapter 30
Although hundreds of guards had spent days searching the entire place, the trail of the kidnapper could not be found. And it seemed that he would never have a chance to save himself, but Issukan, Scheta, and Kirito were convinced that this incident was not over.
They meet again in the nursery with a window that has been repaired.In Scheta's arm, Lisetta calmly drinks her milk as if she had forgotten about the incident that happened to her. The doctor in the castle who was a high-level priestess with Scheta, had ascertained the impact of the poison and Dark Art, fortunately there was no problem.
On the other hand, that doesn't mean there's nothing to be found about the kidnapper. The way to open a window on the 50th floor that no one but the Vector Leader can do is still a mystery.
“...This may have nothing to do, but..”
Ronye said, inhaling an aroma similar to the apple aroma of the tea he drank, which does not exist in the Human World.
“When the man tried to open the window, there was a large red gem emerging from his chest.”
“Red gem...?”
Kirito muttered, tilting his head slightly along with Scheta. Apparently they did not realize it.Issukan, who was chewing pieces of fruit pie, knitted his eyebrows and muttered.
“Red jewel...do you remember what it was like, Ronye-jochan?”
Ronye replied, remembering that this was the first time the empty-handed fighter had called out his name.
“Umm..it is not too bright.looks like dark red, blood red, or sunset color.”.
“Red blood...hell blood..”.
“Hey Issukan, don't joke with the word hell blood all dong!”
Said Kirito sticking his palm on the cheek.
“I'm not kidding know.”
With a confused expression, Tsukan explained.
“Leader Vector had such a stone in his crown when he came down before the Foreign World War. The gem she wears like that, I still remember a little.”
“Crown Leader Vector.not possible ah. The man was thousands of kilometers away to the south of this place, he was killed Bercoulli on the rocks and instantly died. When he's alive again, he doesn't have a crown like that, it must be all gone in those rocks.”
“You didn't see it?”
In Issukan's sentence, Kirito simply nodded.
“Yah..”
At that time Kirito was still unconscious, only Integrity Knight Alice and Bercoulli had seen the Vector Leader back then, but she was soon at Underworld.Alice carrying Bercoulli's body with a dragon almost to ‘Altar End of the World’, and after that Kirito picked her back to the Human World. His final resting place was built in the middle of a flower garden along the south of the Central Cathedral.
“...Indeed, no one knows where Bercouli fought against the then Vector Leader, it was difficult to know, and identify him.”
Saying that with a stern expression on his face, Kirito turned his gaze to the window.
“But if the power of the gem is to open and close a 50th floor window, there is a possibility that it is connected to the Vector Leader as Issukan said.Well, there may be someone who knows how to use it…and the question is who is that person..What group of killers did you mean at that time?”
Kirito asked her and turned to Issukan who replied nonchalantly while drinking a cup of tea.
“Their life is only there to kill.with poison.one of the former 10 clans in the Dark Territory, their leader, Fuza was shot by the rebellion of the darkness general Shuster and killed. That was why their group was weakened, and they were also not joined in the 5th Conference of the Fortress. I almost forgot about their whereabouts, but. I can't believe that the ******* was from the group of assassins, and even he controlled minions.”.
“We will investigate it together with those lost Dark Art Masters.”
Scheta nodded.
“Yes, we will also discuss this with knights and commercial groups. I won't let a mess like this happen again in Obsidia.”
Kirito added it to Issukan.
“At a time like this, should I request cooperation from the Dark Art Master group? we all still remember DIL's actions, and it was clear that the Dark Art Master couldn't help, but it was better for them to protect the castle as much as possible. Only untrustworthy guards to fight him.”
“I think it will pay.”
With a bitter smile, Issukan shrugged and replied.
“But yeah, there must be a way. Plus there are quarrels between humans around Obsidia, the problem of division of half-human areas, and problems like...—Kirito, how long will you be here?”
Right now it was Issukan who tilted his head and Kirito straightened his back.
“Oh yes right..but you see.me...still not enough to thank you for saving Lisetta, and here is also a lot of food to eat.”.
Seeing Issukan advancing her lips like a child, Kirito smiled with a slightly sad facial expression, like nostalgia.
“...eh why?”
“Nothing.the way Issukan talks is like my old friend. Well, the next meeting is next month, right? by the time it arrives, I will be bringing a lot of people.”
“Alright then, I will prepare the last dinner, like a pile of meh snakes or maybe a live eel.yah this time I will take good care of it, he said, I won't forget all this goodness in my life.”
Kirito and Issukan clenched their hands together, seeing that, Lisetta happily laughed “kya kya” on Scheta's arm.
Kirito and Ronye, who had been sleeping for several hours in the room and finished eating, set off from Obsidia Castle at 8 p.m, Scheta takes them to the dragon machine with his dragon Yoiyobi.
He looked startled at the sight of the dragon machine, but afterwards he realized the possibility of a dragon made of steel. He said if produced a lot, surely the journey from the Human World to the Dark Territory became easier and more pleasant, Scheta returned to the castle Obsidia, too, the place where it is now is his home and as a fulfillment of his obligations. Kirito and Ronye entered the dragon machine and flew into the sky towards the east.
As his flight stabilized, Kirito let out a long sigh, and said.
“Oh yes, the ‘Sonic Leap’ you used when saving Lisetta from the kidnapper was really cool lo, since when did you get better at mastering it?”
“I-it...only..I unconsciously only..”.
Lifting his shoulders until his neck was covered, he touched the silver sword sheath that was in the crevice of the chair and the wall.
“That seems to be the sword that can drain power to you, I certainly can't jump that far.”
“Y-yah..this is a good sword..”.
“Ya.”
Kirito nodded, Ronye straightened his body in the back of his chair.As long as they flew, behind the transparent window glass they could see the night sky in the Dark Territory. There were a few stars that could not be compared to many in the Human World, but there was a crescent moon shining in the sky that night.
The Human World and the Dark Territory are separate, but the people who live in them see the same moon…
At the thought of it, a strange feeling returned when he saw the sign of the inn in the capital Obsidia and when he heard the tone of the bell, but this time Ronye really remembered it.
“Anu...Kirito-san.”.
“Why?”
“Anu..why do people in the Dark Territory and the Human World use the same letters and sentences? Although both were born in the Underworld, but there have been many exchanges between these two worlds, so it is not strange if they use different languages?”
He asked this unthinkably before, until he saw the world with his own eyes, so Ronye wanted to know the reason and asked Kirito.Prime Swordsman who was born from the real world replied after a moment of silence.
“That's because, the person from the real world who made this world is the one who brought the Human World and the Dark Territory in strife, he said, so it is better for them to have 2 different types of speech and language. If we cannot communicate, we cannot plan for peace. But they.or something beyond the real world people intend to make the language common. I don't know why, but it's possible because the world can overcome disputes and conflicts.”.
Kirito's words were hard to understand for Ronye. He didn't ask anymore and thought hard. Kirito-senpai said, Lunaria floating in the night sky is a giant sphere like this planet. That is why Lunaria can grow and shrink in accordance with the light response of Solus.
If people lived in Lunaria, they could see the sickle-shaped earth just as I do here. If so, they may also use the same language. Perhaps, like the humans of this world, they live by making many mistakes, fighting, shedding blood, will they work hard for a better world?
It felt like the crescent moon in the night sky was the birthplace of many people,
Ronye pointed at Lunaria with his left hand.Touching the handle of his beloved sword, Ronye said.
"Oh, senpai."
"Hmm……?"
“I decided to name this sword “Moonlight Sword”, yes it's his name.”
“Oh yes, nice name. I'm sure that sword will always protect Ronye.”
After smiling and saying “ya!” from Kirito's words, Ronye wiped his falling tears with her fingertips.
I want to see Tieze immediately.I want to tell everything to my best friend who is swayed in his longing to Elite Swordsman Eugeo-senpai and marriage proposal from Renri alike, from what I learned on this journey.
When Ronye thought about it, Kirito increased the speed of the dragon machine a little.Under the faint moonlight, the dragon engine continued to accelerate eastward.
