Bab 101: Arrival in the Sword Art Online World
After Eriri left, Arifureta and the others got into the car and started driving back to the Sawamura family villa under Aoi Kujo's control.
A few minutes into the drive, Arifureta, who was sitting across from Megumi Kato and the others, began discussing Eriri's sudden departure to another world. As she explained the situation to Megumi and the others, Arifureta kept part of her attention on the chat group.
Noticing the exchange between Eriri and Erica, Arifureta could sense Erica's fear—Erica even slipped back into using honorifics, a sign of her nervousness. This made Arifureta uncomfortable; although Eriri was just teasing Erica, she didn't want anyone to misunderstand Eriri's intentions.
[Arifureta (Group Leader): Eriri, stop scaring Erica.]
[Ding! Arifureta (Group Leader) has uploaded the memory clip: "The Beginning of the Hoelscher Empire's Fall."]
[Arifureta (Group Leader): @Red Devil, Erica, take a look at this memory clip. You'll understand why Eriri did what she did.]
With that done, Arifureta returned her focus to explaining Eriri's mission to Megumi and the others.
Meanwhile, Erica, seeing Arifureta's message, began to calm down. Still a bit apprehensive, she opened the memory clip Arifureta had just uploaded.
The scene before her changed, and it felt as if she were there in person. From the moment Eriri, Arifureta, Shea, and Reina entered the imperial capital to the city's destruction, Erica was immersed in the experience.
By the end, Erica understood why Eriri had destroyed the city. If she were in Eriri's shoes, she might have been even harsher.
This also deepened her understanding of Eriri.
Since the gif Eriri had sent earlier was from her perspective, Erica hadn't seen Eriri's face. But the memory clip Arifureta uploaded was from her own perspective, and she had often gazed at Eriri during their time in the capital. As a result, Eriri's stunning beauty was fully revealed in the clip.
Seeing Eriri's breathtaking appearance, Erica suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. She now understood why the chat group didn't find girl-girl love strange.
With looks like Eriri's, Erica thought to herself—I'd go for her too. So what if we're both girls? Love is love!
[Red Devil: Ahem, so that's what it was. I misunderstood. Embarrassed.jpg]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Your reaction is adorable, hehe.]
[Red Devil: o(////▽////)q]
[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Those people were awful! They deserved what they got. Eriri, you did great.]
[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Also... I didn't realize Eriri was so beautiful! I'm shook.]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Heh, of course. So, have I charmed you? Wink.jpg]
[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Not quite! You're incredibly beautiful, but you'll need to try a bit harder to win me over! Proud.jpg]
[Archangel Gabriel: I support what you did too, Eriri. Those imperial folks were just awful.]
[Chika Fujiwara: Definitely! We were all fuming when we watched the live stream.]
[Asuna: +1]
[Asuna: By the way, Eriri, I'm on the rooftop now. You and Gabriel can come over.]
[Kashiwagi Eri: We're on our way.]
Eriri turned to Gabriel and asked with a smile, "Got all your stuff ready?"
"All packed!" Gabriel replied proudly, quickly grabbing her bag from the bed.
She returned to Eriri's side and unzipped her bag, revealing a neatly packed set of clean clothes and a few toiletries. The textbooks that should have been there were nowhere in sight.
"Alright, let's go."
Grabbing Gabriel's hand, Eriri waved her other hand, and a mysterious portal appeared in the small room, which was only about 20 square meters.
Eriri tightened her grip on Gabriel's hand and led the curious-looking angel into the world portal.
On the other side, they found themselves face-to-face with Asuna, who was wearing her black-and-white school uniform. She stood there, looking both excited and curious about the sudden appearance of the world portal.
Although she had seen Eriri's stunning beauty in the live streams, seeing her and Gabriel emerge from the portal left Asuna momentarily speechless.
"Asuna, hello there," Eriri said, waving her hand in front of Asuna's face, snapping her out of her daze.
"Ah, Eriri, Gabriel, welcome to my world," Asuna said, her face flushing slightly with embarrassment as she warmly greeted Eriri and Gabriel.
Asuna, who was still in middle school, hadn't yet developed the perfect figure she would have two years later. Even so, her height and curves already surpassed those of Eriri and Gabriel.
Her chestnut hair was styled in a half-up braid, framing her pretty, pale face. Her bright brown eyes shone like gemstones, and her pink lips had a soft, natural hue, making her look incredibly refined.
[Kashiwagi Eri: Successfully met up with Asuna. Group photo.jpg]
[Chika Fujiwara: Wow, Gabriel and Asuna are so cute too. Drool.jpg]
[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Lovely!]
[Asuna: Eh-hehe, not too bad. Shy.jpg]
[Archangel Gabriel: Of course! I'm an angel, you know. Have you ever heard of an angel who isn't cute? Proud.jpg]
[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Eriri is just super gorgeous!]
[Red Devil: Mm-hmm, Eriri is absolutely adorable!]
[Arifureta (Group Leader): Naturally! My stunningly beautiful Eriri is the best. Proud.jpg]
