Three Choices

Then Rito saw the amazing promotion of [Sword Art Online] on the official website of Fantasia Bunko, and the author Kayaba Akihiko's account received a sales report on [Sword Art Online]. In the past three days, the first volume of [Sword Art Online] had sold over 50,000 copies in just three days.

All this time light novel-related media and personal blogs have been volunteering to promote [Sword Art Online].

Rito didn't know whether it was [Sword Art Online's] charm, the protagonist's luck, or the lack of entertainment culture in this world.

Rito saw an open gap in his room. The gap was not hidden by his gaze, but continued to widen, and then slender and beautiful legs wearing white socks came out from there, from within the blonde beauty in a purple dress.

"Yuuki Rito, where have you been these past few days? We've been looking for you everywhere~"

The beautiful girl smiled and looked at Rito, showing a very familiar attitude, although her tone was a little lazy, But because of the maturity of her voice and temperament, she was full of strange seduction.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. We are girls who are always 17 years old. Youkai from Gensokyo, Yakumo Yukari. I was the one who helped you before, whether it was to wipe out the riot caused by the swordsman Deviluke, or giving you the mystey relic."

"Yakumo-san, what is your business?"

Rito's eyes showed wariness, he didn't know the timeline right now, Yukari was still a Sage Youkai or a lazy Youkai, but it was worth going for it.

One thing to admit is that Youkai don't have a good impression of humans. At least Yukari doesn't have any goodwill towards humans. Rito doesn't know the extent of her Boundary Manipulation powers. Rito doesn't want any fighting in the house.

As far as Rito knows, gods need faith, and they will be divided into strong and weak because of how much faith is. At the same time, they would gradually disappear or seal themselves for the loss of their followers.

Youkai need fear, survive fear and become stronger thanks to humans, rich in emotions and numerous. It is a source of belief in gods and fear of Youkai.

Rito doesn't know exactly how strong a Great Youkai is, but he doesn't feel any danger of death or invincibility from Yukari.

"You know the surname Yakumo, unlike some idiot, and you don't have the slightest doubt about the word Gensokyo. Do you know something?"

Yukari who came out from the gap, closed it casually

Looking at the gap filled with countless bloodshot eyes, Yukari looked up and down Rito with great interest, and then seemed to have found something. She saw Rito didn't answer herself, the topic changed.

"In just three days, your aura and even vitality have become even stronger, so fast? Are you really human?"

"I think I'm human."

Yukari is a beauty that Rito rarely sees. It's not that Sonoko, Erica and the others are less beautiful than Yukari, but Yukari has a temperament that ordinary humans don't have.

If Rito hadn't seen the beauty and temperament of Luo Hao who was a Godslayer, Pallas Athena who was a Divine Ancestor, and Pandora whose body was unknown, perhaps Rito had temporarily been enchanted by Yukari.

"Forget it, hey, we've helped you a lot, shouldn't you repay us?"

Yukari's aim is very clear.

Rito was silent for a moment, then nodded. In a way, he wasn't someone who didn't return his gratitude. On the other hand, she doesn't want to become Yukari's enemy, after all she was once his favorite character.

Seeing Rito nod, Yukari smiled.

"No big deal, choose to do just one thing, go to the Sun Garden to pick dozens of flowers, or go to the temple to get the money box, or teach a little girl named Hakurei Reimu to add, multiply, subtract and divide?"

What Yukari said was very simple, and it didn't seem like a big deal, but Rito knew about Gensokyo. Temple girl showing her armpits is obsessed with money.

"Rito, who are you talking to?"

Mikan's voice was heard from outside the room, making Rito drip cold sweat. Could it be that the fact that he had mastered extraordinary power today would be exposed?

"So worried? If you are in a hurry, choose quickly. After you choose, we will hide it."

Seeing Rito who hesitated for a long time, Yukari's eyes deepened.

"Or do you not only know the meaning of Gensokyo and Youkai, but you even know what the three things we mentioned specifically refer to?"

Yukari is very smart, maybe can't be summed up with just the word smart, it is full of more precise wisdom, gleaning a lot of information from Rito's subtle reaction, and then purposely proposes three options to lure him into the bait. After all, she was a girl who had lived for an unknown number of years.

"I chose to go to the temple to get the cash box! Which temple is fine?"

Rito started playing dumb, while Yukari smiled lightly and shook her head.

"No, it must be from Hakurei Temple."

"What is Rito doing?"

As Mikan opened the door, Yukari returned to the gap, seeing this, Rito breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm doing something that can't just be interrupted. Cough, Mikan, can you give me some space?"

"From now on, unless Rito asks for help, I won't barge in casually."

This precocious elementary school student didn't think she was entertaining himself before, right?

Rito who heard Mikan felt dizzy.

"It seems you shouldn't hide it now. Otherwise, your pretty little sister would only think big brother sneaked up and brought the girl home instead of thinking that you are..."

Yukari stopped suddenly, and said to Rito who was looking at her.

"Why, you expect obscene words from us?"

Rito refused to admit it, and wore an upright and confused expression.
