—End—

After encountering one of GGO's famous player, LLENN's squad travels back to SCB Glocken along with Kirito.

"So, if I'm gonna join your squad, then I need to at least tell my partner first"

As they entererd the city, Kirito informs them about how he wanted to tell his partner that he found himself a squad to enter squad jam.

"Sure, who is it?"

LLENN was curious about his partner's identity, since they are going to be in a squad together.

"It's Sinon"

"Sinon!?"

"Yeah, you know her? Well, I guess she is kinda famous"

LLENN was having mixed feelings, since there'll be two famous players in her squad. As Kirito was using the chat, Pitohui informs them of a bad news.

"Sorry guys, it seems that M can't join us for the squad jam. Even though I tried convincing (threaten) him into joining us, he said that he will be busy at that time"

"I have a feeling that the 'convincing'-part has some other meaning"

LLENN can't help but sympathize with M who is not here at the moment.

"Well, I can try and convince Fuka-san into joining us"

"Oh! Sure, I missed that blonde midget"

"You just saw her a few days ago"

"I'm talking about the in-game avatar version, not the RL version"

"Well, all we need now is one more player to make a complete squad"

As they were discussing this, Kirito came back wondering what happened.

"I see, all we need is one more player?"

"Well, we could enter with only 5 players, but it would be better to have a full squad"

"I see. I don't if it'll work, but I think I can help"

"Heeeh- is it someone famous?"

"She is famous. Only in another game though"

As they discussed further they decided to have a meeting tomorrow at 15.00. However, Pitohui informs them that she is busy in RL, and told them to proceed without her. After they are done, all three of them logout of the game.

—XXXXX—

After logging out of the game, LLENN, also known as Kohiruimaki Karen, put away her amu-sphere and sit up from her bed to stretch. Then she saw herself in the mirror of her room, a female who is more or less 180 centimeters tall with short black hair. The difference of her height between the game and in real life is like heaven and earth.

After she finished stretching, Karen goes out of her room to start eating lunch. Before diving into her game, Karen already prepared her food for lunch. All she needs to do is reheat it and prepare it on a plate. As she was eating, Karen contacts her friend, Shinohara Miho (aka Fukaziroh), to invite her to the game.

"Heeeh— so you're invoting me again to another squad jam? Although that sounds tempting, but I have a lot going on in ALO right now. So, once I'm done here I'll convert to GGO right away"

"Well, take your time. In the meantime, me and Kirito's party will grind together"

"Wait! I think I change my mind. I'll convert right away"

"Eh? What's with the sudden change"

"..well, you did say Kirito, didn't you?"

"Hm? Yes. I did. He's somewhat famous so it's no wonder you knew him"

"Ah, well. This might sound funny, but I think there's a player named Kirito in ALO as well"

"...huh?"

"Yeah, well. It's not like he's the same person, but I'm still curious"

"Heeeh— how can you be so sure?"

"Don't know. But, call it women's intuition"

"What part of that is women's intuition? Well if you decided to show up, meet us at 15.00 in the starting plaza"

"Okey~ see ya"

And with that Miho agreed to join the third squad jam.

—XXXXX—

The next day LLENN logged back in the game at 14.00, one hour before the meetup. LLENN decided to replenish some supplies before the meetup. However, as if they thought of the same thing, Kirito is there, with two other female players, coincidentally in front of LLENN the moment she logged in.

"Oh, LLENN, what a coincidence"

"Y-yeah, are those two your squad members?"

"Yes they are. They just converted from another game, let me introduce you, they are—"

"Sinon"

"Asuna, nice to meet you LLENN-chan"

After they introduced themselves, LLENN managed to take the time to look closely at their appearances. Sinon has a bluish green hair and eyes, she is wearing a green colored jacket with a white scarf. And Asuna has a light brown hair tied on the back of her head with the same color as her eyes, she is wearing a normal beginner equipment. She also noticed that the green haired girl is Sinon, one of GGO's famous sniper.

"Nice to meet you, I'm LLENN. Should I presumed that you both are Kirito-san's squad members?"

"Yes that's right. Although I just converted today, I'll be sure to work hard!"

The brown haired beauty said this filled with motivation.

"Alright, well if you have any trouble, please feel free to ask me anything—"

"Ah! LLENN!! So you were here already!!!"

"...Fuka!!?"

LLENN statement was interrupted by the voice of Shinohara Miyu, with the username of Fukaziroh. Of course LLENN would be surprised, not only does Kirito's party arrived one hour early just like LLENN herself, but it seems that Fukaziroh had the same idea. As LLENN was thinking this, Fukaziroh approaches. She's as tall as LLENN only with a longe blonde hair, she's wearing the beginner's uniform because all her item is with LLENN.

In VRMMO games nowadays, thanks to the 'seed', players are able to convert their avatar and as well as their status attributes to another game. However, all items will ended up being erased, so the players need either a storage facility, or a trustworthy friend to keep them.

"Fuka, why did you come here early?"

"Ah, w-well. You see, I just thought that you might be here earlier as well, so logged in myself"

"...oh? So it wasn't because you can't wait for another hour, and decided to login early?"

"Ah, w-well. Anyway!! Don't you have to introduce me to your friends!!"

Fukaziroh said this while trying to divert the subject. LLENN knew that because if she were really expecting LLENN to be here, then she wouldn't exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, whatever. Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Fukaziroh"

"Nice to meet you, you can call me Fuka!"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Kirito. Although I looked like this, I'm actually a man"

"Sinon. Nice to meet you"

"My name is Asuna. Nice to meet you Fuka-chan"

After they finished their introduction, Sinon asked.

"By the way aren't you two the shorties who participated in SJ?"

"That's right. I reached first place on the first SJ. While I'm not so lucky in the second one"

"I see. Too bad I'm kinda rooting for you"

"Also, even though we're both short, we're actually a lot taller in RL"

"I see"

After that it was Fukaziroh's turn to ask.

"Hey, hey. Do you play Alfheim Online?"

"Hmm? Yes we did. In fact we were just recently converted from ALO"

"I see~ hey, by any chance are you the black swordsman?"

"!!—yes. Then I presumed that you played ALO as well?"

"That's right!— if you're Kirito, then is the one with the brown hair Asuna, the berserk healer?"

"That's right"

"I see~ then that means, Sinon is the one player who used a bow in ALO!"

"You're correct again"

After a serious of introduction, that coincidentally took one hour, all five players form a squad and decided to grind some EXP together. And so, the curtain rises as SJ's top players met ALO's top player.
