My younger siblings are so cute

Huh.

Without saying a word, Kirito spread his wings and flew directly towards the place Sakuya pointed.

"Kirito!"

Lifa stomped her foot. Although she didn't know what the man was doing, she still chased after him.

"Wait for me!"

On the other side, Bell and Liu Angxing, who have acquired life skills, are wandering around in the novice area.

"Sho, don't make a move. I'll fight a monster and let Liu show off his cooking skills. He can't wait."

"..."

With that, Bell disappeared directly into the forest.

"It's him who can't wait."

Liu Angxing shrugged, started to light a fire, and then said to Yui who was sitting on Shota's head, "I'm sorry in front. After all, we old antiques are not very good at things you young people play with. We always make a fuss. It will inevitably scare you."

"No, nothing..."

Yui shook his head, and then suddenly felt something, and said to Shota: "Dad, two players are approaching here, one of them is Kirito Ogissan."

"……puff."

Shota stood up in a hurry, and then quickly said to Liu Angxing: "Master, I have a private matter to leave, right?"

"Go, go, I'm fine with Bell. You gave us so much money, meaningless."

"Then I will go first."

Shota left without saying a word.

——————

"Shota!"

When Kirito spotted a fire elf leaning under the tree, he screamed and then landed downward.

"Ah, Kirito?"

Shota just glanced at him, then retracted his gaze, looked at Yui who was sleeping peacefully in his hands, and gently stroked her wings.

"Why are you here..."

As soon as Kirito's words were said, there was a feeling of guilt in his heart-why he was here, there was only one reason, and that was to come to Asuna.

"Ah."

Shota shook his head, and did not answer Kirito's question. Instead, he asked, "Why are you here?"

"I……"

Kirito was speechless, not knowing how to answer this question, but lowered his head.

"Is that Wind Elf over there your friend?"

"Lefa? No need to hide, you can't hide from him."

Kirito sighed, and let Lifa, who was following him, step out from behind the tree. After Lifa came out, looking at the silent two men, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"I'm going to the World Tree."

Shota stood up slowly and said to Kirito, "Sorry, let's talk to you after I go back."

"and many more."

Kirito summoned up the courage to stop Shota and said, "I, I'll go with you!"

Shota stopped, turned his head and said faintly, "You don't need to do this. I didn't care about that. I even said that I should apologize for making you bear this kind of thing."

"but……"

"Don't be like a girl! The Kirito I know is never like this!"

Shota yelled angrily, then sighed and said, "Sorry, I have been in a bad mood recently."

"..."

Hearing Shota's scolding, Kirito was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fist, and made his consciousness towards Shota:

"I will go with you, even if you don't allow it, I will go by myself. This is not only your business, but also my business. Not for atonement, but for fulfilling my responsibilities."

Yes, this is Kirito's responsibility. He obtained the relief of the SAO survivors through the sacrifice of the person he most respected. However, hundreds of people still fell asleep.He couldn't allow it, and his "sacrifice" was exchanged for this flawed ending.

Seeing the fighting spirit rekindled in Kirito's eyes, Shota turned his back and said, "Go. I haven't fought with you for two months. I hope you haven't regressed."

"That is impossible."

"Wait for me, Kirito."

Seeing that the two were about to go on the road together, Lifa hurried to catch up and said, "I will go with you."

"No, Lifa."

Lifa always felt that the current Kirito was a bit different from the previous one, but she didn't know what was wrong.I saw Kirito replied: "Next, I will go with him."

"In this world, there is no existence that can stop me from joining hands with him."

"That won't work either, do you two know how to get to the World Tree?"

Listening to Kirito's somewhat "arrogant" confident language, Lifa said angrily: "I am definitely a novice, you will be a novice, and that guy is also a novice!"

"..."

"I'll lead the way for you two, it's so decided."

Tsk tsk, Shota smiled in her heart and thought, this guy, Kirito, is really a fascinating person. It will not be a day, and there will be a girl who will follow him all the time.

Liz, I always feel that your situation is a bit dangerous.

"I will never allow Dad, you to be so careless like Kirito Ogissan."

"Yes, where did you go?"

"Mom woke up and talked to me for a while, and when I said you were in the game, she asked me to come back."
