Episode 3 A Miracle

Aiden gently rubbed the back of the girl who was now in fear, trying to channel the calmness inside the girl. After a few minutes, Nikita finally tried to take off her arms and looked at Aiden.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake again" said Nikita slowly. Making Aiden could only exhale and pat the girl on the shoulder before him "They're looking for you, let's go back"

When they were about to get up, they were surprised by the 3 men² who were also surprised to see the girl who was in front of them.

"Yuki?"

Nikita fell silent and bowed, "Sorry, I promise I will control myself" he said with ragu².

Hikaru let out a long sigh "The important thing is that you've met" The man's words did not manage to calm the girl who was looking at her brother with guilt, Takeru angrily snapped at Nikita's forehead, making the victim grimace softly.

"You're! why do you always worry, huh? from now on you have to stay close to brother, wherever you go, understand?" takeru.

"Sorry brother"

Kazuto just silently watched the interaction, no, rather he noticed Nikita's very pretty face. For some reason every time he looked at the girl's face, his heart was always beating faster.

"Alright, but maybe we should find a way to get out of this forest" Hikaru cut off with a serious look. Makes them look and be quiet.

Suddenly faint² Nikita heard something preparing to attack them from behind him, Nikita turned around and immediately shot a fire arrow towards a figure not far from them.

Boom! blars!

As the fire spread from tree to tree, it quickly disappeared until the arrow hit the tree. They were surprised and turned their heads, Nikita clucked in annoyance and shot back a water arrow towards the fire there.

"Yu-Yuki? w-why are you.." Hikaru's question hung, his gaze was still the same, surprised to see the girl's strange behavior.

Nikita ignored Hikaru's question and rushed to where the figure was monitoring them, the 4 men immediately followed behind Nikita. Instantly the four men were surprised when they saw the beautiful scenery in the misty forest, in front of them were river rocks and sunlight that penetrated through the trees.

Nikita slowly walked on the riverbank rocks "This is a suitable place for training, and good for leveling up" he said.

Kazuto walked to Nikita's side, his eyes fixed on the mark on the back of the girl's hand. His forehead shriveled faintly, What mark is that? since when did the sign appear in Nikita's hands?

"Beautiful, right? this is my favorite place to practice" said Nikita arrived².

Kazuto reflex nodded "yes, I just found out there's a place this good in the fog forest, you know where you're from?" tanyakanya.

The girl's eyes were perfectly rounded, her body stiffened, she instantly fell silent for a moment and smiled faintly.

"just heard from the other players" Nikita lied. The truth is that this place is where Nikita trained to reach the level now.

Suddenly appearing several crystals of different colors surround Nikita and form arrows with various kinds of magic, the girl focused on tapping² the screen contains data arrow². Everything he did did did not escape Kazuto's gaze.

"Who is he really? How did he get that new skill?" Kazuto muttered.

After upgrading that arrow² level, Nikita stretched out and sat down by the river. Kazuto also sat down with his gaze fixed towards the river.

"i know what you're thinking" Kazuto turned to Nikita, who was staring at him "i'll tell you my secret, but on condition that I don't tell the others" he continued.

Kazuto paused for a moment before nodding softly, making an engraved smile on the girl's lips.

"First, I knew this place from the beginning. Since then, this has been my training ground. Second, I know your identity and Hikaru's. You guys are master players who help other players secretly²"

The deg!

Kazuto's body stiffened when he found out that Nikita knew the secret of the two of them, Nikita chuckled lightly when she noticed the change in look on the face of the man beside her.

"Do not be surprised, I also know the real leader is," the corner of the girl's lips lifted, displaying a sweet smile on Kazuto "you, right, Kirito?"

Kazuto fell silent, his hands clenched firmly "actually who are you? you look like you're not another kayak starter" he asked.

Nikita put her shoulders and looked at her bow in her lap "I've been playing since the beginning of this game, I have a friend who is the son of the creator of this game. My game character was also made specifically for me for farewell" he said.

"Breakaway?" ask Kazuto.

Nikita nodded slowly. "After giving me this, he got sick and died. And my id purposely made with his name so I'll always remember him"

"w-what?"

"My four, level and level were also specially made by her father for me, so don't be surprised to see my level and level are on par with the two of you" Nikita continued.

Kazuto's gaze instantly became blank, he became reminded of his sister who was very similar to the girl Nikita told him about. His sister, Yuki, also told him about his best friend, Nikita. Actually, he began to suspect if the girl next to him was his sister's good friend.

"what's your real name Nikita?"

Nikita's eyes widened upon hearing Kazuto's question, how could the man know her real name?

"Yes, how do you know?" ask the girl. Now that the man was shocked because his guess was right, the girl beside him turned out to be the one his sister told him about, the one whose sister asked her to take care of him, before leaving.

Not far in front of them, there was a figure hiding behind a tree. The figure smiled when he saw the two in tandem.

"Goodfoot, brother has fulfilled your promise" he murmured.

Nikita who accidentally heard a voice from within the fog was staring straight, her eyes fixed on the figure. In an instant Nikita disappeared and appeared behind the figure.

"Who are you? why are you following us from here?" ask Nikita briefly. Making the figure startled and turn around, the corners of his lips lifted up and carved a thin smile on his lips.

"Well I'll see you, Nikita. You haven't changed since I last saw you" he muttered, but it could still be heard by Nikita who was shocked to see who was in front of him.

"You, Yu-Yuki?"

Yuki shook her head slowly "My Id Sharu, don't call my name in the game" he said.

"Well, how can you.."

Yuki rolled her shoulders casually "at that time I was in a coma instead of dying"

Nikita was silent for a moment "When did you wake up? and why did I see you being buried!" instantly he grimaced while rubbing his forehead which was flicked by Yuki.

"I just woke up, and I'm still doing my next checkup. Now I ask, why is it that as long as I'm in a coma you don't look at me?" reply Yuki's upset.

Nikita grinned softly "Gomenne, since the news of your death, I've been to your father's company and your grave more often"

There was a faint² voice calling Nikita, both of them turned their heads. At once Nikita regained her senses and patted her forehead.

"S*alan! I forgot to tell them and just run away again" the girl muttered. Yuki's forehead shriveled faintly, it turned out that the girl was not just together with her brother.

Suddenly a boy appears next to Yuki, the girl is shocked and rushes to hide behind Nikita's back. While Nikita chuckled softly when she saw Aiden who appeared arrived² beside Yuki.

"Lagi² you left without telling us, do you know we're worried about you?" ask Aiden briefly.

Nikita just fell silent and looked down, her hands were fused "sorry, I'm just something" he replied. Aiden's eyes were fixed on Yuki who was still hiding behind Nikita.

Nikita who knew the direction of Aiden's gaze shifted slightly to show Yuki "This is Sharu, my closest friend in the real world"

Aiden only turned a glance then looked back at Nikita who was still silent, suddenly..

"Yuki!!"

Kazuto and Takeru appear behind Aiden, followed by Hikaru. Suddenly Kazuto was surprised when he saw the figure he had longed for next to Nikita, Yuki took the peck when he saw the elder brother appear in front of him.

"ka-you? w-how are you.."

"o,one-san.."

Nikita's gaze turned toward the older brother who looked at him annoyed "gomenne, oni-san. I just want to see my old friend, I don't mean-"

Grep's!

The girl's eyes widened as a pair of stocky hands coiled around her waist, Takeru clenched tightly onto his little sister's body.

"this you! why not just follow it anyway? can you just shut up? what kind of brother am I to let his sister wander alone"

Nikita fell silent and hugged her sister's body back, she knew the reason for her brother's change in nature. And she understood her brother's concern for his fragile body.

"Yes, sister.I'm not going to repeat it again, sorry because I went gk say you guys" said Nikita. The two of them took off their hugs and turned towards Yuki who was chatting with Kazuto.

"you-you.."

Yuki smiled lightly "father was also shocked when I realized from the coma, now my body is still in the process of examination. Dad told me you were in the game, so I'm here to tell you brother"

"did you give me permission? you just realized and immediately played the game, do you know if the father-" game"

Yuki snorted annoyed and turned his face "Yes know, I also had time to tell and again tried to improve the game system. Father said, during the repairs, we also have to lose the game boss" he replied.

Kazuto exhaled a long breath "so bener² there's no other way, huh? too bad" she replied briefly. Yuki's eyes were fixed on Nikita who was staring at the two of them, she turned to face the girl.

"Oh yes, Yuki, has your power increased?" yuki asked Nikita. The girl simply nodded and looked at the bow in her grasp. "Thanks to you, I can be this strong. Arigato gozaimasu, Sharu-chan"

Yuki smiled and shook her head slowly "no, it's all your own hard work. I only ask for additional defense in your character after knowing the condition of your body, the rest is because you yourself, Yuki" replied Yuki, making the girl in front of him surprised to hear his explanation.

"ja-so my level and my level..true² my training results? not you or your dad?"nikita asked, which Yuki replied with a sledgehammer.

It felt something that touched the top of Nikita's head, making the girl look up and look at the brother.

" Thank you for helping my sister all this time, Sharu. I owe you a debt of gratitude" Takeru said. Yuki chuckled and smiled sweetly "no need, that's also a sign of our friendship. I'm glad to be a close friend of Yuki, she's my friend enough already" he replied.
