The water temperature is very suitable, it is neither hot nor cold. After soaking the whole body in water, you can feel relaxing everywhere in your body.

The effect of the illusion hot spring is also great. The system processing conversion allows everyone to experience the comfort of being wrapped in a hot spring and increasing blood flow.

Leaning against the hot spring side, put Sophie's prepared bath towel on her face, and Natsume, who closed her eyes, enjoyed the refreshing experience for a long time.

Just as he was about to straighten his hands that were curled up in the hot spring, the sound of the sound next to him interrupted Natsume's movement.

"Natsume, sir?"

Taking off the bath towel covered by his head, Natsume shifted his gaze and placed it on the girl with long silver-white hair on her left.

Since it was a mixed bath, although the boy took off naked in the water, the girl could only wear underwear to take a hot spring bath, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

However, when the girl approached, Sakuramei's face did not have a discomfort, but a smile of thanks.

"Don't add the word "sir" and I'm going to be a problem?"

Perhaps because of Natsume's cold tone, Sakurami's body shrank, showing an expression of grievance.

Ahhhhh.

Natsume put a bath towel that was just wet and unused on top of Sakuramei's head.

"Tell me, what do you want to say? By the way, use this bath towel I haven't used before to wipe my body."

"Okay, OK, I just want to thank Natsume for help, if it weren't for you..."

"No problem..."

Natsume interrupted Sakurami's words, and he set his eyes on the three people in front of him. Yali frowned dissatisfiedly because of the sprinkled water from the other two people. The slightly reddish ends of her hair were dripping with warm water, Yali also began to fight back.

These four people do not seem to be in the game of death, but rather traveling in an adventure world.

That's why Natsume said so.

"Even if I don't have me, those three people will save you and get you out of danger. They are not the kind of people who give up on their companions, right?"

"Yes, thank you."

A smile appeared on her face, and Sakurami, who had taken the bath towel from her head, hugged her to her chest.

After a closer look, this player named Sakurami has a doll-like face, and his delicate face and gentle smile must have a high score in the real world.

Don’t turn your face and feel a little uncomfortable, so I closed my eyes sideways and entered a state of rest.

"The heartbeats faster, I'll make such a judgment."

"Don't say extra words, stupid dragon."

"Assist the teachings of Lord Natsume."

Sophie, who was kneeling there, did not come in to take a bath because she claimed to take care of Natsume, but Natsume knew that she was just a little shy in front of so many people.

Perhaps because he heard the conversation here, all three people who were originally fighting on the other side came over.

The person who leads the conversation is Yali, a girl in a bikini.

She ran over and hugged Sakurami, put her face together with the other person's face, and asked maliciously.

"Sakuramichan, what are you talking to Natsume? You can't say anything we don't know."

"It's just thank Natsume for helping him, and there's no other meaning."

"Well. What a kid who is easy to be teased, just kidding."

Natsume looked at Sakurami, whose face suddenly turned red. Such a person would probably die on the way.

This is not a curse on this girl, it is just to tell the truth.

If Sakurami continues to maintain it, she needs someone to protect her, and she will not be able to go to the end. She will die in this world one day sooner or later.

Unless she gives up her adventure with this group of people, she heads to the safest first floor to wait for the strategy group's strategy.

However, no matter which player he is, he has his own dream of becoming a hero and making a SAO dream. Perhaps this girl is the same as those people, and she is unyielding but a little cowardly.

At this time, two boys came over one by one.

The spear envoy who was introduced before did have the frivolous appearance of a fishing girl, but he was explaining to Natsume the prejudice of the leader towards him.

"I am indeed pretty good-looking. But I have never taken the initiative to approach girls. They are all girls who rely on themselves. Now, since there are very few real female players in SAO, that situation cannot happen."

"In the previous game, didn't there be many female members joining the guild after you exploded photos? You frivolous man, by the way, Natsume, why did you come here?"

Why?

Natsume did not hide anything, but instead expressed the reason for "wanting to take a bath".

Wow!!!!

The four of them exclaimed together, and the leader of the group, Ks, held Natsume's hand.

"Like aspiring! Natsume, are you going to team up together?! We plan to continue to guide the whole world!"

"Look at the whole picture of this world?"

"yes."

Kers let go of Natsume's hand, and he raised his head to look at the blue sky above his head.

It was a clear sky and countless white clouds.

With his hand stretched out, he blocked the sunshine that was sprinkling from the woods with his right hand.

"We want to see this world. What we once fantasized about has become a reality. Don't we want to see it? We do desire to return to the real world, but it is also great, isn't it? Apart from fighting, we can rest, have fun, and have no social constraints. Think about it carefully, what will the scenery on the other side of the distant place be? Not very exciting? So, we have to move forward, and even now, we have to try to pursue the dream of rebuilding."

Most players are paralyzed by the words "upgrade" and "raid", but they have a new "dream" in this non-existent world. Although it is a child-like action, Natsume cannot deny it.

What's wrong with it? It's better to set out to where you want to go than to have a lot of thoughtful intrigue.

They were able to take a real step in the virtual world, in Natsume's opinion, a little out of reach.

Compared with it, my unrealized dream seems insignificant.

Why do I still want to realize that wish now?

Even if you know it, it will be futile to go back to the past, but you can't give up. This may be my stubbornness.

"How? Do you want to be with us? How many levels are you now? No, it doesn't matter how many levels you are. Come and join our team! It's very welcome!"

"this……"

Please join, Sakurami also said this, and the remaining two nodded.

It left Natsume's right to refuse.

Natsume estimated that the general levels are now around 20. If he said his level, he might be rejected as a captive.

"My level is level 31."

“…………”

Silence, but-

“Isn’t that great?”

Kers patted Natsume's shoulder.

"I am the highest and only level 16. You are really amazing. With your joining, you can have a powerful teammate who can entrust your back."
