Worries I Shouldn't Have

"Come to Tokyo and explain to me face to face, bastard!!"

Rito was shocked at that time, he wasn't messing with Sonoko, why was there a message like that? And she used two exclamation marks to express her psychological fluctuations?

"Rito, you're back."

Looking at the innocent Lala in front of him, and then looking at the information displayed on the mobile phone, Rito remembered that he let her use the computer, and Kayaba Akihiko's author account would automatically open after logging in. He made a few guesses, and held up the cell phone in front of him.

"Does this message have anything to do with you? Lala."

"Uh... I suddenly remembered that I have something to ask Zastin. See you soon, Rito."

Lala immediately took out her strange invention in a piece of paper. She disappeared into the light, and the clothes moved away without leaving anything behind.

Seeing this, Rito believes that Lala has caused a lot of trouble. He rushed to his room, turned on the computer, and quickly opened the Fantasia webpage for Bunko to view historical news.

Then, he saw himself, no, it was Lala who confessed to Sonoko.

That woman clearly claimed that he was her fiancée, but she took the initiative to express his love for someone else?

Rito carefully reads the conversation, overturning his previous definition that Lala wouldn't cause trouble.

Sonoko is not angry?

The message she sent seemed even more coy to him, should he explain it to her? The confession was fake, it was just his fiancé fiddling with his computer.

Had Lala thought of herself as his fiancee, even in name only, she wouldn't do something like that, would she? No, Planet Deviluke doesn't seem to have a monogamous rule, and Rito can't just guess Lala's thoughts.

Rito was so distracted for a moment that Mikan, who left first, walked over to his side and didn't notice.

"What is Rito thinking?"

While talking, Mikan stared at the still-lit cell phone screen and pouted.

"Looks like a girl again, Rito is very attractive to women."

Mikan's tone was very melancholic, it was clear she was only an elementary school student, but she seemed to understand. After sighing, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"This weekend, I will look for you."

After Rito edited and sent the message, he resignedly put the matter aside.

Today was the first day [Sword Art Online] was officially sold at major bookstores. Fantasia Bunko has done a lot of publicity before. Apart from having a special column on the homepage of the official website to introduce [Sword Art Online], promotional billboards have also been erected outside of major bookstores.

When he came home from school, Rito saw that many bookstores had billboards on their doorsteps, and many young people briefly browsed the bookstores. They accidentally finish reading in a short time to avoid spending money. If they really like it, they will buy it anyway.

Although Rito didn't pay much attention to the progress of light novels for various reasons, he also knew that [Sword Art Online] took second place in the Newcomer Light Novel Award, and its popularity was very close to first place. If [Sword Art Online] had participated in the competition from the start, there was no doubt that it would have won first place.

Even though Sonoko might not have taken the initiative to contact her to explain the sale of the first volume because of his previous confession, Rito could feel the protagonist's luck starting to gather towards him at an accelerated pace.

The time lapse speed of the two worlds would change to 1:10 in one week, Rito would spend ten days in the Campione World and one day in this world.

Of course there is homework, but Rito can think at ease. Naturally, homework is done. For him, the question was not that difficult. High school students worry about homework, courses, grades, etc.

What Rito is worried about is that apart from the editor-in-chief of Fantasia Bunko, Sonoko will face him in a few days, there is also King Deviluke, and the monsters hiding in Gensokyo.

How could he go to the Campione World?

Even in the Campione World, Rito could use his status as a Godslayer to have the magic association offer up a sacred relic to summon a Heretic God, but that would take too long.

Perhaps it was a good choice to find holy relics in this world. Otherwise, He could only forcibly enter the Underworld to find Susano'o who had graduated from the Heretic God's position.

After school, go to thrift markets and other places to see if there's anything special. As a Godslayer, Rito can see what's mysterious.

....

Sonoko returns home too, struggling with what to wear for the weekend to see Rito.

As the chief editor, she was very busy, but she had decided to turn down all of her work that day.

...

When it was time for dinner, Lala ran on tiptoe again.

The food on planet Deviluke doesn't look good, but the food on Earth is so good that Mikan's dinner can make Lala, who is looking for an excuse to run away, come back again in no time.

"Lala, was the lightsaber and armor that Zastin wielded before, Deviluke's highest technology?"

Rito is no longer worried about the things before, which makes Lala secretly relieved.

"It is the highest level equipment for individual warriors, and if it is higher, it is a giant super weapon carried on a space warship."

Originally, Rito had hoped that Deviluke's technology would reduce the difficulty of killing Heretic Gods. Anyway, Godslayers were only on the same level as Heretic Gods. Unexpectedly, Zastin was already at the highest level.
