"Okay, okay, I was just kidding you, don't take it too seriously. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts. How could I not know what kind of person you are? Auntie, are you making cakes again? I just went to the department store today and haven’t eaten anything yet.” Since it was the latest product released, the NERvGear terminal device was in great demand. In order to play a death game with Mr. Kirito, Seiya queued up early in the morning. After opening the door of the gym, Suguha followed behind Seiya and naturally followed in, and changed into her own slippers at the entrance. Seiya's house is a two-story building. The large flat downstairs is the kendo gym, and the second floor is where Seiya lives and sleeps. The layout of the swordplay venue downstairs is simple, with bamboo swords placed on a two-year-old wooden rack. In the center of the hall are two huge calligraphy works, one reading "Wenren" and the other reading "Yili". In the past, there would be many people coming to the gym to practice swordplay at this time, but since Seiya's grandfather passed away, the gym has been temporarily closed. The only people who still regularly practice swordsmanship in this dojo are Seiya and Suguha beside him. "Brother Shengya, have you never thought about reopening the dojo? This should also be Grandpa Wenren's wish, right?"
Looking at the empty and quiet gym, Suguha's face showed a look of loneliness. She really loves kendo, and she also likes this place where she spent most of her childhood, so she doesn't want the Wenren family's dojo to decline. "If I want to reopen the gym, I have to at least be an adult before I'm qualified to run it. Besides, I have a lot of things to do right now, so even if I want to reopen the gym, I probably won’t be able to do it.” Reopening the family swordsmanship gym was indeed one of Seiya's original plans. After all, opening a dojo is still quite profitable these days, especially in Japan where Bushido is still highly respected and kendo is quite popular here. But the past is the past, and the present is the present. Originally, Seiya thought that he was just an ordinary time traveler. But now that plug-ins have come out, it would be too embarrassing for the army of time travelers to just be satisfied with opening a gym. "Hmph, is this what Seiya-san meant by a lot of things to do?" Kiritani Suguha had naturally noticed the NERvGear box in Seiya's hand. Although Suguha seldom paid attention to games and the like, she had naturally seen the news about NERvGear Full Dive, a groundbreaking product. "Brother must have asked you to buy it again, really, it's awful that he indulged himself in playing with things, but I didn't expect him to drag you, Seiya, into this too. When I get back, I will definitely talk to him about it! Brother Shengya, you are a genius in swordsmanship. Grandpa Wenren also had high hopes for you. You can't let yourself fall into depravity." Hearing what the girl said, Seiya couldn't help but feel ashamed. Obviously, the girl was one year younger than him and Kiritani Kazuto, but most of the time, they were the ones who were lectured. Moreover, after arriving at Seiya's house, Suguha acted as naturally as if she had returned to her own home. Not only did she put the small cakes she brought on the plate, she also directly brewed the accompanying buckwheat tea. To be frank, Suguha probably knows the placement of daily necessities in Seiya's house better than he, the owner, does. Seeing Seiya wolfing down the cake, Kiritani Suguha rested her chin on her hands and looked at Seiya with a happy face.
“So Brother Seiya hasn’t eaten anything today and got up early in the morning just to buy this? Seiya-san is like this, and so is my brother. I really don’t know, is this kind of game really that fun?” To be honest, looking at the NERvGear that Seiya placed on the table, Kiritani Suguha was not very happy. Since the gym was closed, Seiya has very little time to practice sword skills with her every day. If he continues to play with this NERvGear in the future, he will have even less time to spend with her. It's all the fault of that lowly brother Kazuto. It's bad enough that he indulges in pleasure himself, but he also causes the excellent brother Seiya to fall into depravity along with him. "In fact, it's not just for playing games. According to Kazuto, the SAO released this time is a full stealth game. This means that in the game, the characters can be completely synchronized with our consciousness. And according to Kazuto, this is a game that focuses on swords, and real-life kendo masters can also perform well in the game. I don’t think that since there are no suitable opponents in real life, I might as well look for strong enemies in the game. In the game, no one would care whether I was in junior high school or not, and it would also allow me to train my awareness and reaction abilities, so I accepted Kazuto's invitation." After hearing what Seiya said, Suguha suddenly showed an expression of realization. As expected, she knew that Brother Seiya was different from her good-for-nothing brother. Although both of them played games, her brother played it purely for fun, but Brother Seiya played it to improve his kendo skills. There was a decisive difference between the two! "In that case, I won't say anything. By the way, is there any NERvGear civilian device in stock at the department store?" The girl, who was originally quite resistant to NERvGear, suddenly became interested in the so-called SAO after hearing Seiya's explanation. And if you think about it carefully, if she also plays SAO, then the time she spends with Seiya every day will not be reduced, but may even be increased! As soon as he thought of this, Suguha's heart suddenly became hot. "It should be hard to buy it now, and the SAO public beta will be tonight, Suguha, you..." "Brother Seiya, I have something else to do so I will leave first. After you finish eating the cake, just wait for me to wash the dishes." Before Seiya could finish his words, the girl in front of him left in a hurry. Looking at Suguha's leaving back, Seiya also sighed deeply. Seiya knew exactly what Suguha wanted to do, but to be honest, she didn't want her to follow them into SAO. After all, it was a life-threatening situation. However, Seiya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought about how popular NERvGear was right now, and today was the time for the SAO public beta test, so Suguha probably wouldn't be able to get the stealth device at this time. That night, Kazuto Kiritani even called him, worried that Seiya would stand him up or wouldn't be able to use the stealth device. After hanging up the phone with Kirito, Suguha called right after and told Seiya regretfully that she failed to buy the NERvGear device. But she had asked a friend to ensure that she would be able to enter the game with Seiya and the others in two days. “Full Dive——!” After the device was connected, accompanied by an electronic sound, Seiya's consciousness instantly entered the virtual game!
