Spoiler for GGO Ch 7 Kirito's Match:
Tens of seconds later, when she closed to about 5 meters away from Kirito, she stopped.
Staring at the still standing black lightsaber user in the face, she breathed out.
"...Why?"
The meaning of this question, and the criticism mixed in it, seemed to reach Kirito. His black pupils shook, and again looked down at his feet.
Finally, he said without feeling, like an NPC.
"... My goal, is just to enter tomorrow's main tournament. I don't have a reason to fight beyond that."
Sinon had expected this answer. However, the feeling of 'that's why I cannot forgive' welled up in her chest, and once again, Sinon pushed out words.
"Then, you should have shot yourself with that gun right at the start of the match. Are you worried about ammo cost waste? Or do you want to give me a kill count, thinking that this way I would be satisified...!?"
To the head lowered Kirito, she took another step closer - .
"Merely a VR game or merely one match, it's your choice if you feel that way! But don't force those values on me!!"
Sinon cried out in a trembling voice, and she also realized that she said something irrational.
To impose personal values upon your opponent, then it's the same as what she had done. If she cannot forgive Kirito, then Sinon should have used the first round of ammunition to determine the match, and then forget about him afterwards. Instead she used 6 rounds of ammunition to threaten him, and beyond that she threw out her feelings at him face to face. On the other hand, the unreasonable one might be herself.
――However.
Even so, Sinon could not stop herself. The Hecate held in trembling hands, face distorted, and could not stop a drop of tear that leaked out of the edge of her eye.
With his back to the distant sun as it set, half of his body in shadow, Kirito's eyes were tightly closed, and his mouth was stiff.
Finally, the delicate avatar relaxed, with a weak, but with a hint of emotion, he said.
"...I too... A long time ago, I felt that I blamed someone like that..."
"..."
Kirito glanced at the silent Sinon, then he bowed his head down.
"...I'm so sorry. I was wrong. Although it is only a game, only a match, but I should still give it all I've got... otherwise, there is no meaning or qualification for me to live in this world. I, should have known that..."
There, he raised his head, the black eyes looked straight at Sinon, and the swordsman from a strange land said.
"Sinon, can you give me a chance to make it up to you? Right now, have a match with me."
Who did Kirito blame? Did I miss anything from the past few LN's? |
