Maple: I can see hidden messages

【Ding!】

【Your friend: Matthew sent a message! 】

It's still dark.

Kirito was woken up by the system prompt.

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

【Mashu: Kirito-sama, Kasumi and I have arrived at the Beginning City in a carriage. Where should we find you next?】

【Kirito: Just wait for me 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 Maple and Tamaki Ako who were sleeping next to him.

Maple rubbed her eyes, glanced at the time, and asked doubtfully:"Brother Kirito, where are you going so early?"

Kirito reached out and touched her head:"Sorry for waking me up. You guys! Matthew and Xia are here, I’m going to pick them up at the station!"

Matthew?

Mention the name.

Maple immediately thought of the tower shield girl she met at the event yesterday.

Her eyes suddenly lit up:"Has Matthew arrived already? Great! Brother Kirito, I want to go too!"

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

On the other side, who was also awakened Tamaki Ako hugged Kirito's arm tightly and asked coquettishly:"Kirito-sama, who are Mash and Kasumi?"

Kirito explained casually:"The players I met in the game yesterday were very powerful. , I invited them to join us. They have just arrived at the Beginning City, and we are going to pick them up now. Do you want to come with us?"

"Um!"

Ako Tamaki nodded happily:"Wherever Kirito-sama goes, I will go!"

The three of them put on their equipment.

They left the hotel and headed to the station of the Beginning City.

As soon as they arrived at the station,

Kirito was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The station square that was empty a few days ago was now full of carriages. A large number of players. Crowded together, there was a sea of ​​people, and it was so dark that you couldn't see the edge.

Maple and Tamaki Ako were obviously shocked by the scene in front of them, and they were speechless.

The appearance of the three people quickly aroused the attention of nearby players. Onlookers.

As the top three in this event, coupled with Tamaki Ako and Maple's speeches on the podium, they have become household celebrities in the game.

"maple!"

A sudden exclamation came from the crowd.

Hearing a familiar voice,

Maple glanced subconsciously.

She found that Risa Shiromine was standing in the crowd with two little lolita, Yui and Mai, looking at her.

"Lisa!"

"maple!"

The two ran together quickly and hugged each other vigorously in their arms.

Maple said with a complaining face:"Risa, since you have arrived, why don't you contact me right away?"

Shirakine Risa chuckled:"I'm not afraid of affecting your rest!"...

When Maple and Shiromine Risa recognized each other.

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

Azusa Aizawa?

He walked over immediately.

I didn't expect to meet Kirito here.

Aizawa Azusa panicked on the spot before she was mentally prepared. what to do? return.....Better run away!

Azusa Aizawa was thinking about blending into the crowd, but was stopped by Laika, Halkara, Beelzebub and Irena beside him.

Eh?

Azusa Aizawa looked at them with confusion.

Irena bared her teeth and smiled:"Hehe.....Master, don’t think about escaping. People have confessed their feelings to you on the battlefield, so it’s not okay not to respond to them properly!"

Response......

Azusa Aizawa's face turned red; how could he respond, he already agreed at that time!

Being delayed like this by a few people.

Kirito has already arrived in front of Aizawa Azusa:"Aizawa.....No, it's Azusa.......Um......What's the name of your game? Azusa

Aizawa took a deep breath.

Now that the matter has come to this, he can only accept it calmly:"Master Kirito, just call me Azusa Aizawa!""

"good!"

Kirito agreed. His eyes turned to the girls beside her.

Laika, Halkara, Beelzebub.....Irena?

Eh?

When he saw Irena, Kirito was obviously surprised and asked subconsciously:"How could she be with you!"

Azusa Aizawa didn't understand why Kirito would ask this, but she immediately acted. Answer:"Irena, she is the disciple I accepted in Novice Village!"

I heard Aizawa Azusa introduce herself.

Irena immediately walked up to Kirito and bowed deeply:"Hello, Kirito-sama! My name is Irena. Please take good care of me in the future!"

Hey!

Irena bowed suddenly.

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

Looking at Kirito who was a little panicked, Laika, Halkara, and Beelzebub all laughed. They felt that Kirito was a little bit... It's not as domineering as Azusa Aizawa said.

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

"Hello, Kirito-sama. My name is Beelzebub, and I play the role of physical damage and defense in the team. Please take good care of me in the future!"

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

"Hello, Kirito-sama. My name is Halkara, I am the shooter in the team, and my secondary job is the brewer. Please take good care of me in the future!"

With the experience last time, Kirito was much calmer this time:"I'm glad to meet you all. Let's take care of each other in the future!"

Take Azusa Aizawa and her teammates back to Maple.

Kirito immediately contacted Mash, sent her his location, and asked her and Kasumi to come over and join him.

While waiting for Mash, , Kirito saw many familiar anime characters again, making him realize that this place turned out to be a comic book world.

Suddenly, a luxurious carriage drove into the square.

The carriage attracted the attention of the surrounding players as soon as it appeared. Even Kirito was no exception.

The carriage stopped beside Kirito.

The door opened.

The tenth place in the PK competition: Sato got off the carriage.

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

While Sato was in a daze, several girls got off the carriage one after another and found that Sato was looking at Kirito blankly.

He had purple hair and was wearing a The girl in the gorgeous princess dress hurriedly pulled Sato's clothes with her hands and whispered:"Sama Sato, it's so rude of you to stare at others like this. Apologize quickly!"

I was reminded by the girl.

Only then did Sato react and said to Kirito with an embarrassed look on his face:"I'm sorry!

Kirito waved his hand nonchalantly:"It's okay, don't worry!""

Seemingly dissatisfied with Sato's apology, the purple-haired girl who had just reminded Sato took the initiative to step forward, lifted up the hem of her skirt with both hands, and made a squatting salute used by noble women towards Kirito:"My name is: Arisa. Kirito-sama, please forgive my master for being rude. I apologize to you here on his behalf!"

Master?

Kirito was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:"No need to apologize, it doesn't matter after I said it!"

"Thank you for your generosity! Arisa stood up with a smile and continued:"Kirito-sama, could you please make me a friend?" Since everyone is aiming to clear the game, we will inevitably have to exchange some information in the future!

Kirito nodded again:"Okay."!".......
