But the answer Suguha really wanted was not this.

  "Ms. Tongzi is so concerned about you, but you..."

  "What am I?"

  Facing Shirogane Yukin's rhetorical question, Kiritani Suguha wanted to say indignantly, "You are playing with her feelings", but looking at Kiriko who was smiling and playing with others in the sea of ​​flowers in the distance, she couldn't say it. . .

Chapter 174

  Suguha looked at Kiriko and could feel the other person's mood.

  My sister is having a good time now, happier than she has ever seen in the past.

  Whether Baiyin Yuxing really deceived his sister as he guessed remains to be verified.

  Although Suguha's own love experience is also zero, she has seen many love stories, and she still understands this kind of routine.

  There shouldn't be a showdown until you really succeed in deceiving your feelings, right?

  In other words, Shirogane Yukin should not let Kiriko meet other girls now, but should do this and that to Kiriko sister first.

  However, the reality is that Kiriko didn't go out on a date on weekends.

  "Huh? Are you...?"

  Tongzi saw that there was a player wearing a cloak that covered his appearance beside Baiyin Yuxing, he couldn't help but turn back from the sea of ​​flowers and asked aloud.

  Now that everyone is on the 47th floor, a place that ordinary players can never set foot on, this should be someone related to Baiyin Yuxing.

  Suguha didn't want to reveal his identity.

  I created a character in Sword Art Online but didn't say it, and I followed my sister all the way here. It's really not something I can tell at will.

  "I'm Lyfa, I'm... a friend of this president."

  "The president's friend..."

  Tongzi pondered for a moment.

  The girl knew that Shirogane Yuyuki did not belong to her own world, and except for the newly joined Yuuki and Lanko, the rest of the guild were people from other worlds.

  Combining the chat records in the guild, Kiriko can guess that this Lyfa is not a member of the guild, but is probably a simple game friend who happened to be acquainted with the president.

  "Hello."

  Tongzi greeted each other politely, and did not have any arrogance because she was a member of the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild.

  She has such a personality.

  Fortunately, it is such a character, otherwise if someone of the same age suddenly owns 30% of the shares of ARGUS, it will inevitably show the characteristics of a few upstarts and cause a lot of trouble.

  "I...I remember something else..."

  "It's rare for everyone to get together. Let's take this opportunity to establish a guild first."

  Suguha wanted to find an excuse to escape, but Shirogane Yuyuki disrupted her original plan.

  Kiriko's attention was also attracted by the topic of establishing a guild.

  "The establishment of a guild seems to be going to the third floor to complete some tasks. It will take a long time. Just a few of us..."

  "I'm the game manager."

  Well, Tongzi is speechless.

  And she knew very well that if she insisted on gameplay and wanted to complete related tasks normally, Shirogane Miyuki, Aqua, Nakiri Alice and the others would not be able to help.

  These guys obviously don't have enough interest in Sword Art Online.

  What, it's obviously the first full stealth game, or the first in several worlds.

  Tongzi briefly fought injustice for Sword Art Online in her heart——

  "Has the president thought about the name of the guild?"

  Kiriko didn't want to do guild quests. Even with the power of Yuuki and Lanko, those quests would take a long time and would greatly slow down her leveling speed.

  Her time to play games is limited. Except for weekends and holidays, she relies on her physical fitness that has been strengthened by all-around points to save time for playing games by reducing sleep, so she doesn't want to waste it like this.

  "Since it's the name of the guild, it's up to everyone to decide. I'll choose the guild's residence—how about this garden of flowers?"

  The so-called guild resident can be regarded as the territory of the game player.

  The guild manager can control this territory more freely, and can also prevent people outside the guild from visiting. The floor where the resident is located will naturally be the place where the guild members often stay.

  Once a beautiful floor like the Garden of Flowers is exposed, it will definitely be an ideal guild residence in the minds of many players.

  Considering that the entire Aincrad Floating City has only 100 floors, and the number of players entering Sword Art Online has already reached hundreds of thousands, and it is still growing at an extremely exaggerated rate, the number of guilds will continue to increase, and the competition is fierce. .In the future, all kinds of places with beautiful geographical environment or cherished resources should become very popular.

  Baiyin Yuxing can also be considered to use the authority now, and occupied the Garden of Flowers in advance.

  "Okay, okay, let's call the guild the Axis Cult!"

  Aqua was very active in making suggestions, but Shirogane Yuyuki denied it almost without any pause.

  "turn down."

  The ruthless response made the Goddess of Water puff up angrily, but that was all.

  Aqua, who has fallen in love with the various delicacies in the world of the spirit of the halberd, and hopes to get in touch with more worlds, is completely under the control of the Shirogane Royal Line.

  Nakiri Alice didn't speak. She knew that as an outsider, she couldn't play Sword Art Online often, so she didn't choose a name for herself.

  Tongzi, on the other hand, is used to being a loner and has no idea of ​​establishing a guild, and naturally, she has not thought about the name of the guild.

  It can't be called the Ten Thousand Realms Guild, can it?This is just a virtual game.

  It was Yuuki who broke the brief silence.

  "Sleeping Knight - what about this name? My sister and I have always wanted to find a partner in the game, and then build a guild together, so we have long imagined the name of the guild."

  "Sounds pretty good."

  Tongzi couldn't think of anything better, so she naturally agreed.

  "What, it's far worse than the Axis Cult!"

  Aqua objected unceremoniously, and was still stubborn, but Shirogane Yukin was not polite to her.

  "Well, the name of the guild is called Sleeping Knight."

  Shirogane Yukin is the president of the Sleeping Knight, but the vice president is not established.

  According to the game settings, there can only be one vice-chairman. Even if you ignore Aqua and Nakiri Alice who don't play Sword Art Online frequently, and Suguha who doesn't want to reveal her identity at present, only Kiriko, Yuuki and It is also very difficult to choose among the three Lanzi.

  In terms of friendship, among the three, Shirogane Yuxing has the most contact with Kiriko.

  However, in terms of game strength, Yuuki and Lanko were bedridden before, and they only had games in their lives. Their level and equipment were stronger than Kiriko, who still needed to go to school.

  Since it is difficult to make a choice, and it is certain that some people will have strange emotions because of this, it is natural for Shirogane Yukin to "cheating".

  "I gave all of you the guild manager authority equivalent to the vice president, please use it properly after that.".

Chapter 175

  Yuuki Asuna has been able to clearly feel recently that her parents have encountered some kind of difficulty.

  They even deliberately let themselves into the game of Sword Art Online to avoid talking about things, and even leave the house in a hurry on weekends to deal with work problems.

  Although parents are not too free on weekends on weekdays, there are obvious differences from now.

  Today, Asuna can realize that the parents, who had always been full of majesty and tall images, are in a very anxious state.

  In the time other than studying, Yuuki Asuna also feels that she has more time as a gamer Asuna.

  "Asuna, I think you've studied for a long time today, let's play the game."

  Yuuki Shozo tried his best to let his daughter play games with the same tone as usual.

  "……OK."

  Asuna responded lightly and walked out of the study.

  In the corner of the study, Asuna's mother Kyoko Yuuki, who seemed to be reading books seriously, finally couldn't help sighing when she saw her daughter leave.

  "How is the - situation of the company today?"

  "Not optimistic."

  After confirming that her daughter had left the study, and closing the door obediently, Akzo Yuuki, who was constantly operating the computer to handle company affairs, also showed a troubled expression.

  "As expected, with the continuous development of Sword Art Online, players of mobile games, computer games and console games have begun to lose a lot, and the sales of related equipment will naturally continue to decline. Even, if not for ARGUS, there is still some leeway, The Internet access function has not been implanted in the virtual helmet, and the impact on the computer will be further expanded, and only the mobile phone, which is smaller and easier to carry than the game helmet, will receive the least impact."

  Akzo Yuuki, CEO of Rect, a major electronics maker, has clearly felt the impact.

  The sales of Rect Company, which failed to become the game helmet manufacturer of ARGUS, have been declining, and they have already suffered losses. If effective remedial measures are not taken in time, they will be sent out in the name of "reconstruction". Employees, in fact, are a large number of layoffs, reducing the size of the company to reduce expenses, or directly going bankrupt.

  "So, will the company then focus on making cellphones and other home appliances?"

  Kyoko Yuuki does not work at Rect, but a professor at a university, but she also knows that once her husband's career is hit, her family life will also have a great change.

  "It's too late. Rect has always been developing game consoles as its main business. Computers and mobile phones account for a small proportion. As for ordinary household appliances, it is a completely new field for us. There is a lack of production lines and related technical talents, as well as a lack of brands. Competitiveness, it is difficult to compete with those established manufacturers.”

  Akira Yuuki sighed and continued.

  "Many companies with a similar business scope to ours have already felt threatened and entered the home appliance field. Even if they have not yet achieved results, the mere act of getting involved in home appliances will cause the prices of related production lines to skyrocket, and the risk is too great. . As for developing a similar full-stealth game like Sword Art Online, or even researching the game helmet on its own, it's too late."

  Unless there is a problem with Sword Art Online itself, ARGUS, which has already taken the lead, will always be overwhelmed by its peers.

  Yuuki Kyoko could feel the powerlessness in her husband's words when she looked up, and there was no way to break the situation.

  "Rect is not a small company and can rank in the forefront of the electronics manufacturing industry. Even so, is ARGUS not willing to entrust us with the manufacturing of gaming helmets?"

  As long as ARGUS can entrust, the Rect that gets the production line is equivalent to being tied to this warship that is bound to ride the wind and waves, all the crises will disappear and turn into great opportunities.

  "There are too many companies with similar ideas. Although I have already contacted the staff of ARGUS to negotiate, I have never received a reply."

  Seeing her husband's tone getting lower and lower, Yuuki Kyoko knew that she should not continue on this topic.

  "It doesn't matter, even in the worst case, Rect goes bankrupt, we won't starve to death."
