In the end, Luo Zhen still left.
Just after the sky was getting dark and dusk fell across Aincrad.
"If anything happens, you can always send me a message. It's okay."
Luo Zhen used this sentence as his farewell words, and Silica and Silica logged into each other's friends. Then, with Silica and Bina seeing each other off, Luo Zhen disappeared into the transfer door of Mishe.
Silica's smile only lasted until that moment.
When Luo Zhen left, the smile on Silica's face completely disappeared.
"Chirp..."
As if she was worried, Bina lay in Silica's arms, raised her long head, and gave a comforting cry to Silica.
Hearing Bina's cry, Silica showed a forced smile again.
"I'm fine, Bina."
That's right.
It's fine.
Wasn't this result already expected
Compared with himself, Luo Zhen is the hope of thousands of players in the entire SAO. He is also the president of the strongest guild and the leader of the strategy team. His power is needed at the front line at any time, otherwise even the progress of the strategy will stagnate. If you don't move forward, no one will dare to break into the boss guarding the floor.
It is very rare and valuable for such a character to be able to spare a day to accompany him. Perhaps he is the only one in the entire SAO who has such treatment. As a fan, how can he not be satisfied with it?
You should feel satisfied.
Should feel satisfied…
"If Brother Luo Zhen stays with me all the time, it would be too unfair to the other players. It's good to have one day, so I have to be satisfied..."
Silica kept warning herself like this.
However, the feeling of loss in my heart lingers no matter what.
"Anyway... Anyway, we have logged in as friends with each other. If we want to send messages, we can send messages at any time. If we want to meet, we can meet at any time, right?"
Silica told Bina in her arms.
However, as if Bina had sensed Silica's true feelings, she didn't respond at all. She just stared at her with a pair of eyes that were extremely clear inside.
"Woo..."
Silica's bravery finally collapsed.
In fact, Silica herself knew it all too well.
Even if Luo Zhen and Luo Zhen log in as friends, it does not mean that the distance between the two is close.
If you want to send a message, you can send it anytime
That is impossible.
As the leader of the frontline strategy team, Luo Zhen is linked to the complete strategy of the game every minute and every second. Even the top players in the strategy team do not have the right to send him messages at any time. At most, they are from the major guilds. The president can only contact him when something is urgent. Under such circumstances, how could Silica be so nervous as to send a message casually
Can we meet at any time if we want to
This is even more impossible.
It's rare to be able to spare a day like today, let alone meet at any time in the future
Therefore, Silica herself knew it.
This separation may be forever.
"well…"
Silica couldn't help but sigh.
at this time…
"Are you Silica from ?"
When such a voice sounded behind Silica, Silica was suddenly startled and quickly turned around and looked behind her.
The next second, Silica saw it.
Behind him, there are several players who don't know when they will appear.
That was a team that looked a little unbalanced.
"Hey! Look!"
A dagger dressed as a thief pointed at Bina in Silica's arms and made a yelling sound.
"It's really a familiar!"
A warhammer wielding a shield also looked surprised.
"I didn't expect that the person I met here was really an animal tamer!"
A male spear user also looked a little excited.
"Wait a minute, everyone, don't be so rude."
A seemingly weak female spear user was advising her companions.
The person who spoke to Silica was a two-handed stick wielder holding a long stick, who seemed to be the leader of the players present.
From the upper left corner of these people's HP gauges, Silica could see a guild emblem that looked like a black cat.
These people are clearly members of a guild.
The president's two-handed staff seemed to be making a wry smile as he spoke to Silica.
"Sorry, because we have some connection with a great animal trainer, so everyone admires and admires the animal trainer very much. Please forgive me for my overreaction."
Hearing this, Silica didn't care about the other party's attitude at all, and only noticed one sentence.
"The Great Tamer...?"
In the entire SAO, as far as Silica knows, there is only one person who can bear such an honorific.
"Yes." The other party smiled slightly and said, "Is he the one you are thinking of now?"
These words made Silica's eyes light up.
Then…
"Actually, we are currently targeting the strategy group and have been working hard to level up."
As the president of the club, the two-handed stick user touched his head and said this as if he was embarrassed.
"Although we can only operate on the 50th floor at the moment, there is still a gap of 5 floors from the front line. But because of this, we need reliable companions to join us so that we can improve ourselves faster."
Floor 50…!
In other words, if these people have obtained the safety level, then all of them are already level 60...!
This is definitely the group of mid-level players closest to the top players in the strategy group, right
But what did these people just say
"Reliable...companion...?"
Silica murmured in a daze.
Seeing this, the other party suddenly smiled and stretched out a hand towards Silica.
"Can you please join our guild?"
In this way, I extended an invitation to Silica.
Silica held her breath.
This is definitely not the first time Silica has been invited.
In the past, I don’t know how many teams and guilds have invited Silica to join.
However, those teams and guilds had never moved Silica's heart like this.
because…
"Target the strategy group..."
This is a goal that past guilds have never had.
It was this goal that moved Silica.
If I could join the strategy team, would I be able to see that person all the time
Thinking of this, Silica plucked up the courage.
"Let me join."
Silica raised her head and spoke very sincerely.
"Please let me join!"
Silica made a request like this.
Seeing this, the other party smiled.
"Welcome to join our guild ."
The two-handed stick user named Keita stretched out his hand towards Silica.
Behind him, Dakar, Tetsuo, Maru, and Xing also laughed.
In this way, Silica took Bina and joined the "Moonlit Night Black Cat Group" and left the 35th floor.
In an alley, two people were watching this scene.
"Does this make you feel relieved?"
Kirito said helplessly to Luo Zhen.
In response, Luo Zhen just shrugged and curled his lips noncommittally.
However, Luo Zhen still offered his blessings to Silica as she embarked on a new journey.
"I hope you can survive until the end."
Survive until the day this game is completely liberated.
