Ch. 12

Then the mob froze. At first I thought I had lagged, but then I heard a bell tolling. A system message came on, saying that the game had been cleared. Everyone around me stopped fighting. Then I was logged out.

I opened my eyes for the first time in two years. At first, I could only move my left hand about an inch before it flopped back onto the bed. But after a few minutes I was able to sit up. As I stared out the window, I thought about what had just happened. I was stumped. But I wasn't going complain. I was home. I was free.

I heard the door open quietly. My sister came in carrying in flowers. She seemed reluctant to look at me for a second, then looked up. Her face froze in shock as she say me up and awake. Then she ran to me screaming. A nurse ran in to see what the problem was. Managing to break my sister away from me, she asked how I felt.

"Ok, altho my muscles seem to operate half a second later then they should."

The nurse laughed.

"I'll go get the doctor." she said with a smile. She walked out.

Language: English

"Hey Harry." said a boy who appeared to be my age.

"I'm are sorry, but I don't remember you. Then again I barely remembered that name my was Harry." The boy laughed.

"I'm your friend, James. We used to go to school together. Anyway, you happy to be rid of that death trap?" he asked.

"Somewhat yes, somewhat no. On one foot, I am no longer in fear of me life, but on the other, I had found a nice g-. Friend."

"Hmm. Still, I am happy you're alive, even if we can't be friends anymore."

"Thanks, I see I used to had good friends. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

As he walked away I felt my cheeks flush. I really couldn't speak english anymore. I sounded like a psychopath when I did.

Language: Japanese

"So, mom, I need to talk to you about something."

I was the dinner table with my newly, reunited family. It was the last part that made me feel guilty about what I had to say next.

"I would like to move to Japan."

"W-What! Why?! We just got you back, I mean, I-" I stood up.

"I have spent two years in an Japanese speaking community. My english is extremely rough. I have also spent the last two years with no such thing as a school. Switching to such a life is going to be hard when my problem is unique. However, in Japan they are opening a school for former SAO players. As I have dual citizenship I can go to that school. I will be able to get help from others in the same predicament, and help others in turn. On top of that, there is someone waiting for me in Japan. They don't know that I am american, so they are going to get really worried if I don't show up soon." I finished my mini speech, and sat down.

"Well, what about us? We are your family."

"I'll come visit now and then. And not to upset you or anything, but I am used to not having parents, so I'll be fine on my own."

"Well, may I ask who this person is?"

"Their username is Akira. In-game, our avatars had the married status applied."

"M-Married?!"

"We could access each-other's storage, and our money became shared. It was more practical than anything."

"What was your relationship like with her?"

"We slept in the same room, though not in the same bed. We cleared floors and fought together. She saved my butt more times than I have fingers. Same in the reverse. She worried about me to the point of driving me insane."

"In other words, your girlfriend." my sister said.

"Well, when you put it that way..."

"Well, it sounds like we have no choice. But you will come to visit at least twice a year."

"Alright."
