Ch. 13
I stood in the middle of the crowded airport. As I walked around, I wondered why the players had no cursors. Then I remembered that I was out of that death game. Sighing, I sat down near the gate that I was going to be boarding.
"Why the long face?" A boy my age asked. Thankfully in Japanese.
"I am still trying to get used to this world. Transitioning has not been easy."
"What do you mean, this world? You make sound like you're an alien."
"Sorry, I guess I confused you. I just got out of Sword Art Online."
"Whaa?! Gee, congrats. On surviving."
"Thanks. Although I might be killed by Akira when I get to Japan. I haven't contacted her yet, and I was a smigit away from death when the game ended, so she probably thinks I'm dead."
"Haha. Good luck soldier!"
"Haha. Anyway, why are you in the US? Personally I'm a dual citizen, but what about you?"
"Funny enough, I'm a dual citizen too. Although this is my first time going to Japan."
"It's my first time as well. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I get there. As we were caught off-guard by the game being cleared, we didn't trade real-life identities. Could be a pain trying to link up."
"I heard that the government has set up a thing where if two players agree to share identities, the government will provide the information."
"That should work. Thanks."
"No big deal. Want to sit together on the plane?"
"Why not?"
"Here, let's trade emails."
"Sure thing."
After we traded emails, we went our separate ways. He left for a town almost exactly in the center of Japan. I went to Tokyo to find out how this government identity transfer worked.
Author's Note: Sorry about this one being short, I had a long day today. School is almost out, so just hold on until then. Thanks for reading!
