The only male protagonist in variety comics

For students, what really counts as rest time is weekends.

And now is the weekend. Considering that Yukinoshita Yukino is studying at Sobu High School, today and tomorrow are actually the best time to meet Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yuki Rito has already obtained Yukinoshita Yukino's address from Harano.

But this time is definitely not the right time. When he knocks on the door of Yukinoshita Yukino's house who lives alone at night, Yuki Rito feels that he will be regarded as a gangster and a pervert.

Moreover, there is one thing that you must seize the time to do.

After Yuuki Rito and Yukinoshita Harano said goodbye, they called Tenjoin Saki while opening the door with the key.

It didn't take long to get through.

"Is that... Yuuki-kun?"

The electronic sound of mobile phones cannot perfectly reproduce human voices, but Rito Yuki can also hear the surprise and excitement in Tenjoin Saki's voice.

"I heard people say that you have done a lot for Sword Art Online. Thank you. However, I hope you can live a little easier. Sword Art Online is just something I completed on a whim. You don’t have to worry so much. If you let me choose, I would rather Let Sword Art Online fall off the altar instead of letting you feel exhausted every day."

"……？！"

Tenjoin Saki's side fell into silence. Yuki Rito scratched his head, feeling that his meaning should have been conveyed. At the same time, Yuki Rito opened the door and saw a scene that shocked him. Said into the microphone a little hastily

"See you at school next Monday. If you hear what I say, I'll just hang up now, okay?"

"……good."

In the private residence of the Tenjoin Foundation, Tenjoin Saki, who was reading business works in a study room with countless books, turned red from shyness, and then the shyness turned to shame and anger. She looked at the people standing beside her on the left and right. Kujo Rin and Fujisaki Aya said angrily

"Which of you told Rito about me?!"

Kujou Rin and Fujisaki Aya, who didn't know what happened and didn't hear Yuuki Rito's words on the other end of the phone, were quite innocent and at a loss when facing the suddenly angry Tenjoin Saki.

"Madam, what do you mean?"

"That is, in order to make Sword Art Online develop better, I learned business knowledge and so on... Rito knows, you guys told him, right? Why bother him? In order to write the light novel and update the game, he must have worked very hard, although... even though he specifically called me because of this, I was very happy."

Kujo Rin and Fujisaki Aya looked at each other, and they both saw from each other's blank eyes that this matter had nothing to do with the other party. However, seeing the happy look on the eldest lady's face, they decided to let this misunderstanding continue.

Whether it was Kujo Rin or Fujisaki Aya , or even Tenjouin Saki himself, would never have thought that the person who told Yuki Rito such trivial things in life was the always serious Tenjo who was very busy with various business matters all day long. Commander-in-Chief

…………

Yuuki Rito hung up the phone and looked at the woman sitting in the lobby on the first floor of her home in silence, elegantly drinking tea brewed by Mikan, and then looked at Lala who was chatting and laughing with her for a long time. Then he spoke

"Miss Yakumo Murasaki, you and Lala seem to have become good friends?"

Sitting here is Yakumo Murasaki. Her lifespan is unknown. She is a monster that has disappeared in modern times. Before that, she should have only been in contact with Yuuki Rito, a monster sage. I saw Yakumo Murasaki and Lala talking about each other. Laugh, Yuki Rito is not surprised, because as Princess Debiluk, Lala is destined to have some intersection with Yakumo Murasaki, who is the monster sage. Before Xiao An entered the darkness state, Yakumo Purple also said about Lala. They were not affected by the power of the realm, but now Mikan is also present, listening to the conversation between Yakumo Purple and Lala as an audience.

Yuuki Rito doesn't know what Yakumo Purple said. He just wants to save Mikan, who may have already Common sense is about to collapse.

After hearing Yuki Rito's words, Yakumo Murasaki, who is still wearing her iconic dress that does not conform to the modern clothing style, opened her folding fan in this autumn and winter, and replied with a smile.

"Not only Lala, but I and Mikan are also friends. Mikan also wants to visit Hakurei Shrine, and I agree."

Yakumo Purple's answer made Yuuki Rito frown. He cast an apologetic look at Lala and Mikan. He directly took Yakumo Purple's hand and took her to the second floor. As for hiding in the kitchen on the first floor and facing here, Mengmeng and Nana peeked in and didn't pay attention.

"what you up to? I think my attitude has been made clear enough. I have no ill intentions towards Gensokyo. If you want to influence me by letting Mikan come into contact with the people in Gensokyo so that she can identify with her, there is no need."

Yuki Rito pulled Yakumo Purple all the way back to his room and said this with dissatisfaction.

This was the first time that Yakumo Purple felt his negative emotions towards her in Yuuki Rito's words, and she didn't As she expected, it gave her a fresh feeling in her heart. Instead, it was the loss that Yakumo Purple didn't expect. This sense of loss that cannot be ignored almost affected Yakumo Purple's expression at the moment. She covered her face with a folding fan, only Show eyes

"It's true that Mikan is a human being, but by your side, she will come into contact with everything sooner or later. You, who are not ordinary people, aliens, angels and demons. Now that you know monsters, there is no problem, right?"

"But I didn’t let her go to any other planet, nor to the heaven or the underworld. Now, I don’t want her to go to Gensokyo either. She is still a primary school student and needs the ordinary and warm daily life that almost every child has. I hope she will recall her childhood as a relaxing time like other children, rather than a bunch of things that break common sense."

"Don't you think your protectiveness is too exaggerated? It’s almost becoming possessive, right? Mikan herself took the initiative to visit Hakurei Shrine. I haven’t said that I am a monster. I only said that I know a shrine with a beautiful scenery and a shrine maiden there. We usually live there from time to time, but Mikan should also Guess we are no longer ordinary people."

Yuki Rito was startled. Thinking about it carefully, Mikan has been exposed to too many things that are not consistent with common sense. Due to his own reasons, Mikan and other children are destined to have completely different childhoods.

"……I'll go with you when the time comes, okay?"

"Of course, you are always welcome to Gensokyo, Yuuki Rito, after all, you and I are already close to each other."
