Hikari Origin : Hitaku Quest

35

they sit at the restaurant there and the man is known as Kirito asks Hikari "Well, Hikari. Should we introduce ourselves first?" Hikari agreed with it. then he tells Kirito about his name first.

"My name is Aigami Hikari. I'm a part of Hitaku which was a growing up group."

After hearing that from Hikari, the man called Kirito introduces himself to Hikari.

"So, you and your team joined that competition. I'm Kawahara Reki."

"Well, nice to meet you!"

Reki just can't believe it. He asks Hikari "Wait, Did you mean that you didn't know who is me?" Hikari nods his head and says "About that... If you're an artist or anything I just want you to know that I'm not getting into these things. Sorry if I make you feel bad. But I really really mean this." Reki says that it is okay. then he asks Hikari "You look so cool back then. Have you played any kind of game like that before?" Hikari didn't want the others to know about it. Unless they already know it. So he just says "It just a natural skill" But when Reki heard Hikari says that it was a 'natural skill' It makes him want to know about it more. He asks Hikari "Do you mean that you have fought in a battle before? I mean in real life?"

When Hikari heard about a battle he just a bit disappointed. He has a bad memory about battle or war before. He tries to forget about it, but he just can't forget it. When Reki saw Hikari acting weird, he quickly says "No, you do not need to worry about it. It's okay if you didn't want to tell me about it I mean it's basic if there was something that someone doesn't want the others to know it." But Hikari declined it. He says to Reki " I'm okay if you want to know it. But maybe it just takes time." Reki didn't think that if there was a problem with hearing about it. So he just hears about it from Hikari.

Akaru walked around the town to find something, then he meets with Ageru. Ageru asks Akaru " what are you doing here? Isn't you always often come out? There is no reason for you to go outside right?" Akaru looked down when he heard that. He asks Ageru "Then, why are you here? Date?" Ageru shook her head. She says to Akaru that she just got something to do there. Suddenly Akaru asks her a very weird question.

Ageru asks Akaru back why did he ask something like that. But Akaru says to her that it was a secret. Then Ageru leaves the place. Ageru talks to herself "Are he sure about that? The risk was too high for that." But Ageru didn't want to think about it more.

When she was walking to a place that she wants to go to, she meets with one of the hackers in the past. the hacker says to her "So, you're still with him? There was nothing you can do with him. Just why did you choose to protect those kids' dreams?" Ageru feels frustrated about what did the hacker just says. But she didn't say anything and just walked away. She didn't want to make any mess. She just says "It was something that I want to do. So it was nothing to do with you."

The hacker smiled when she heard that. Suddenly the alarm around there makes a noise. It was so loud until Ageru can't hear anything. Ageru thought that maybe she should ask anyone about it. But when she turned around, she knows that she just alone there. she was so weird about it. She got a message from an unknown number. and it says.

"Either he will find it or not. Why did people like you interfere with it? Even you know that he got a lot of enemies?"

Ageru just ignores the message and started thinking about the story. She tells Neu and Nimura about what content that they need to talk about in front of the audience. Neu and Nimura didn't think that was hard for them. maybe it just needs some practice. When hear them say that it reminds her of something. She just smiled and says to them "No matter what did you do. Don't push yourself too hard. Our destination is still far away. Just do it at your limit." Neu and Nimura were so weird when they heard that because they maybe will not do something like that. it looks like they're forcing themselves to do it. they didn't even do anything yet because they think they should take some rest first. They told Ageru about it and ask her why with that.
