Asuna and The Last Game are not equipped with swords or combat armor at all.

Because players belonging to the army have to wear heavy armor as uniforms from time to time, it should be possible to tell that they have nothing to do with the army just by their appearance.

Soon, the door opened, and a female player appeared timidly.

Short dark blue hair, wearing big black-rimmed glasses, under the glasses the timid dark green eyes are wide open.She was wearing a plain dark blue plain dress and held a small dagger in a sheath in her hand.

"Really...you are not the taxing brigade of the army...?"

To reassure the woman, Asuna smiled and nodded.

"Yes, we came down here from the upper echelon today to find talents, and have nothing to do with the army."

Chapter 170 Chapter 130 Conflict

at this time……

"Huh... you guys are from the upper floors? So you are real swordsmen?"

Accompanied by the boy's shrill cry, the door behind the woman opened wide, and several figures ran out from inside.Then, the door on the left side of the altar also opened, and several figures also ran out.

Under the surprised Asuna and the last game's silent gaze, lined up in two rows on both sides of the woman wearing glasses were young players who could be called boys or girls.The age is about twelve to 14 years old.Everyone looked back and forth between Asuna and the last work with great interest.

"Really, didn't I tell you to hide in the room!"

The woman who hurriedly asked the children to return to the room seemed to be around 20 years old.However, none of the children obeyed her orders.

However, the first to rush out of the room, the boy with short red hair like a son-in-law immediately cried out in disappointment,

"Hey, what, why didn't the swordsman even hold a sword. I said, you are from the upper floors, right? Don't you have any weapons?"

The second half of this part was addressed to Asuna.

"Ah, no, it's not like..." The surprised Asuna replied, the expressions of the children lit up again, and they all clamored, "Let me see, let me see."

"How can you speak in such a disrespectful tone to someone you meet for the first time; I'm really sorry, because usually there are no visitors at all..."

Seeing the woman wearing glasses lower her head in fear, Asuna said hastily.

"No, it shouldn't matter, Asuna Misaka remembers that there are still a few things that have been kept in the inventory, let them see it?"

"okay!"

Agreeing to the proposal of the last work, Asuna opened the window and moved her fingers.

Soon, more than a dozen objectified weapons and props were piled up on the long table at the side.

This is a monster drop item that the two of them got in their recent adventures, and they left it like this because they didn't have time to sell it.

After Asuna took out all the items other than the two's equipment and closed the window, the children surrounded them with thunderous cheers.Pick up swords or warhammers one by one, and keep sending out so heavy! So handsome! Wait for cheers.

Although this is a scene that overprotective parents will definitely faint when they see it, as long as they are in the street area, no matter how they use weapons, they cannot be harmed.

What a bunch of naive brats!The last work on the side curled his lips and slandered secretly.

"Um, both of you, I'm really... sorry..." The woman wearing glasses shook her head as if troubled, but said so with a smile on the children's faces.

"...Ah, this way please. I'm going to make tea right now..." Asuna and Last Work, who were taken to the small room on the right side of the chapel, finally let go after taking a sip of hot tea.

gas.

"You... are here to find someone...?" The female player wearing glasses sat down on the opposite chair and asked with her head slightly tilted.

"Ah, yes....I'm Asuna, and this one next to her is Misaka."

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Sasha."

Then they nodded to each other.

"This child is Yui." Asuna stroked Yui's hair, which was still sleeping on her lap, and continued: "This child lost his way in the forest on the second floor of No.20, and seems to have lost his memory ..."

"Really..." The woman named Sasha widened her big dark green eyes behind the glasses.

"Her equipment has nothing but clothes. We don't think she lives in the upper class... I wonder if we can find her guardian in the town of the beginning... or someone who knows her, and then I heard that this church gathers Many children live together..."

"So that's how it is..." Saxia held the cup with both hands, and her eyes fell on the last work, "This child should be from an elementary school, right? Did he also come to find a guardian?"

The last work made my hair stand on end.

Well, I was hit again, I'm sorry for Misaka's small size!

"Misaka doesn't want a guardian!" The Last Work pouted.

"Well, she is my partner. Although she looks small, she is actually very powerful." Asuna smiled and explained.

"That's right, I'm sorry... Now there are about 20 children living in this church, ranging from elementary school students to junior high school students. And this should be all the young players in this town. At the beginning of this game... ..."

Although the volume was weak, Sasha began to talk in a clear tone, "Almost all children at that age have mental problems because of too much panic. Of course, there are still children who have adapted to the game and left the town, but that should be exception."

The corners of Sasha's mouth became stiff.

"Although a month after the game started, I also aimed at clearing the game, and kept improving my level in the practice area... One day, when I saw such a child wandering alone on the corner of the street, I couldn't feel relieved, so I took it back to the hotel Living together. From then on, I couldn't rest at the thought that there might be such a child, so I started looking around town for children who were alone. When I came back to my senses, it had become like this. So, what should I say... ...Even though there are people like you who are fighting at the top, I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow up and help."

"Quick, don't say that..." Asuna shook her head desperately looking for words, but her throat was stuck and she couldn't speak.And the last work, as if to succeed her, said,

"Misaka doesn't think that's the case, and Ms. Sayaka is also fighting hard...and much harder than Misaka."

"Thank you. But I don't do it out of a sense of obligation. It's a joy to live with children."

Sasha smiled and looked at Yui who was sleeping with worried eyes.

"So... we spent two years going from area to area and house to house every day, looking for any children who needed help. If there were children this young, we should have found out. It's a pity... I miss her It should not be a child living in the town of the beginning."

"yes……"

Asuna, who lowered her head, hugged Yui tightly, and looked at Sasha's face as if cheering up.

"That might be a bit of a faux pas, but how do you guys earn your daily living expenses?"

"Ah, regarding this point, besides me, there are a few older children guarding the place...their level is definitely no problem in the practice area around the town, so they can easily earn food expenses. Although not That's a lot"

"Oh, it's amazing... From what we just heard on the street, people here think that fighting monsters in the training area is suicide without common sense."

Sasha nodded in response to Asuna's words.

"Basically, I think all the players staying in the starting town think so. I can't say it's wrong, after all, there's nothing you can do about it considering the danger of death...But because of this, we compare The average player in this town has a higher income."

Indeed, if you want to rent a room in this church all the time, you have to pay [-] col per day.This is several times higher than the daily salary of the man picking up fruits just now.

"So, we've been targeted recently..."

"...Who is watching?"

Sasha's steady eyes became serious in an instant.Just when she opened her mouth to continue talking...

"Teacher! Teacher Saxia! It's too bad!" The door suddenly opened with a bang, and several children rushed in.

"Really, this is very rude to the guests."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" the red-haired boy cried with tears in his eyes just now, "Brother Yin and the others were captured by those guys from the army!"

"What—where?" Sasha got up with a resolute attitude as if she was a different person, and asked the boy.

"The open space behind the item store in the fifth district of East. The army sent ten people to surround the road, and only Goda escaped."

"Understood, I'll go over right away... sorry..."

Sasha turned her head to face Asuna and the last work, and lowered her head slightly.

"I have to save those kids, so let's talk later..."

"Teacher! We're going too!" the red-haired boy shouted, and several children behind him also made voices of agreement.The boy ran to Asuna's side and spoke in a very serious manner.

"Sister, please lend me the weapon just now! If I had that, even the army would flee immediately!"

"No!" Sasha reprimanded loudly.

"You all wait here!"

At this time, the last work that has watched the development of the situation without saying a word until now raised his right hand as if to exhort the children.Although she usually maintains a fluttering attitude, at this time she displayed an incredible sense of presence, making the children all quiet.

"Misaka wanted to tell you that your courage is commendable, but it's a pity—" The Last Work thought for a while before speaking in a calm tone.

"Because the weapon in Misaka's hand requires too much ability and quality, you can't equip it. Let us help. Don't look at this sister, she is so strong, Misaka said with a straight face."

The last work glanced at Asuna, Asuna also nodded vigorously in response, stood up and said to Sasha,

"Please let us help. At least a few more people would be better."

"—thank you, then I'd rather be obedient than respectful."

Saxia bowed deeply, pushed her glasses and said, "Then, let's just run over."

Sasha, who rushed out of the church, ran out in a straight line, shaking the dagger hanging from her waist.

The last work and Asuna holding Yui also followed behind her.Asuna glanced back in the Mercedes and saw a large group of children following behind, but Sasha didn't intend to drive them back.

Cross the woods and enter the city street of East Sixth District, and then walk through the alleys.It seemed to be a shortcut to take the shortest distance. When I ran straight past the entrance of the NPC store and the courtyard of the private house, I saw a group of people blocking the path ahead.Judging from the gray-green and black-iron-colored uniform equipment, the group of at least ten people was the troops of the army.

When Saxia rushed into the alley without hesitation, she stopped and noticed that the players in her army also turned their heads, with malicious smiles on their faces.

"Oh! Which babysitter is here!"

"... Let the children go!" Sasha said in a stiff voice.

"Don't put it so harshly. We're just teaching them some common sense in society, and we'll let them go in no time."

"That's right, paying taxes is the duty of citizens after all!" Then the man let out a sharp laugh, which made Saxia's clenched fists tremble slightly.

"Silver! Cain! Minai! Are you there?" Sasha shouted to the other side of the men, and immediately the girl's frightened voice came back,

"Teacher! Teacher...help us!"

"Don't worry about money, it's okay to give them all!"

"Teacher...it's useless..."

This time it was a boyish voice that seemed to be forced out.

"Hehehe." One of the men blocking the road let out a convulsive laugh.

"That's because the taxes you owe are too high...just handing over the money is not enough!"

"That's right, that's right, it's impossible not to hand over the equipment, plus all the armor... you can't miss any of them!"

Seeing the mean smiles of the men, Asuna instantly sensed what was going on in the alley.

This group of tax collection teams probably asked the children, including the girls, to remove all their clothes.This made Asuna feel a murderous anger in her heart.

Sasha seemed to have expected this too, and leaned over with the momentum that she almost beat the men directly.

"Immediately... Get out of there! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what does the nanny think? Will you pay the tax instead of them?"

There was no sign of any movement from the group of laughing men.

In the town, that is, within the protective circle of the street area, the program called the crime prevention command is running at any time, so actions such as hurting other players or moving the opponent cannot be done.But on the other hand, it is impossible to rule out the players who hinder the progress, and even create a game barrier like this that blocks the passage and blocks people, or even directly surrounds the opponent with several people, making people unable to move. Surrounding, etc. Vicious harassment.

But this is only possible when moving on the ground.Asuna looked at the last game and said,

"Misaka, let's go!"

"Okay, Misaka wants them to behave themselves!"

The Last Work nodded in response, and then kicked the ground casually.

Using their agility and muscle strength to correct their jump, the two easily flew over the heads of Sasha and the army members who were looking up with surprised expressions, and landed in the open space surrounded by walls.

wow!!

Several men at the scene showed astonished expressions and stepped back.In the corner of the open space, two girls who appeared to be less than 15 years old and another girl who was a few years younger leaned on each other, standing stiffly in place.

All armor has been removed, and he is only wearing thin underwear.Asuna bit her lip, walked towards the children and said with a smile, "Everyone, it's all right, put your gear back on."

The surprised teenagers immediately nodded vigorously, then hurriedly picked up the equipment at their feet, and began to operate the window.

"Hey... Hey, hey!" At this time, one of the army players who came back to his senses yelled: "Who are you! Do you want to hinder the army from carrying out its mission!"

"Wait a minute." A man armed with a higher rank than the others stepped forward to stop it.Looks like it should be the captain.

"Although I haven't met you, do you know what it means to be hostile to the People's Liberation Army? Do you want to take you to the headquarters to have a good talk?"

The captain's squinted eyes had a fierce light.Pulled out the huge broadsword from his waist, made a deliberate movement, let the blade slap in his hand and walked over.The surface of the knife reflects the low setting sun, giving off a flicker of light.It was the unique clear luster of a weapon that had never been damaged or repaired.
