Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

Chapter 171 Who's More Important, Me or Him?

For a moment, even though Gilgamesh and Bu Yue were tightly bound in the air by Yu Bai's Heavenly Lock and unable to move, they started arguing again without warning.

However, their level of arguing was completely at the level of two elementary school kids.

As Yu Bai listened to the constant "mine," "mine," his head throbbed as if it were about to split open. He rubbed his throbbing head, feeling a headache coming on.

I've said enough, really.

Without any mercy, he flicked Gilgamesh and Bu Yue on the head once each, leaving no one out: "Stop arguing, let's go to the conference room to talk, and I'll introduce you to each other while we're at it."

After speaking, Yu Bai didn't give the two a chance to refute. He directly used the power of the Chains of Heaven to float them towards the conference room. Gilgamesh and Bu Yue could only obediently follow Yu Bai into the conference room, carried by the Chains of Heaven.

As the conference room door slowly closed, the scene inside the room was completely separated from the sword-wielding zombies outside, forming a relatively enclosed space.

Yu Bai placed the two of them on the sofa, one on each side. Since their emotions were still unstable, Yu Bai decided not to loosen the Heavenly Lock for the time being.

During this time, Gilgamesh tried to open his mouth to continue attacking Bu Yue, but was stopped by a sharp glare from Yu Bai.

"Humph!"

Upon receiving the signal from his close friend, Gilgamesh, despite having much to say, merely gave a cold snort to Bu Yue.

"Ahem~ Alright, Bu Yue, Jill, let me introduce you to each other."

The two people on the sofa looked grim, turning their heads away as if looking at each other would taint their eyes with something dirty.

Left with no other choice, Yu Bai cleared his throat and decided to introduce the two of them to each other first.

In order to prevent my citadel from suffering another devastating blow, I must explain things clearly now.

He first addressed Bu Yue, who seemed to be able to communicate well with him, saying, "Bu Yue, he is the Hero King Gilgamesh. I once traveled back to the Uruk era and became Enkidu, and ruled Uruk with Gil for 7 years."

Then Yu Bai turned to Gilgamesh and said, "Gilgamesh, this is the Moonless God, the God of Earth's Desolation. I traveled to the Heian period a thousand years ago in an accident. You were wondering why I had the Godhood of Harvest when you saw me again, right? I absorbed the Godhood while I was in Heian and became the God of Harvest Moon."

Then Yu Bai told the two everything that had happened to him, without hiding anything.

After hearing Yu Bai finish recounting what had happened to him, the room suddenly became very quiet. Gilgamesh and Bu Yue finally realized where their best friend had come from to provoke such an annoying Heroic Spirit/God.

At the same time, Yu Bai's words reminded Gilgamesh of how, during the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, he had used his omniscience and omnipotence to see why his best friend had become the God of Harvest.

then……

He didn't keep looking ahead and completely missed a chance to spot this bastard earlier!

If he had just looked down back then, would that damned, dark-skinned god of the earth still be sitting next to his best friend now?

Just thinking about Gilgamesh makes me feel hatred.

I wish I could go back to the past and hold my head down to watch.

You said you had already read it, but you didn't continue reading because you respected your best friend's privacy.

Alright, now my best friend has another "cat" outside, and he even used their shared weapon, the "Chains of Heaven," to bind him up so he wouldn't have to fight with this philandering cat!

“Fengyue, you are still my dearest friend, my twin soul, aren’t you? You promised me that you would never leave me again.”

Bu Yue's soft voice broke the silence in the conference room. He lowered his head, his tone carrying a barely perceptible vulnerability and caution, as if he were testing the waters, or perhaps pleading.

A once cold and powerful god suddenly shows weakness to you, like a wounded kitten, revealing his current loss and caution, his words implying that he doesn't want to leave you, and he turns his belly up to you without any defenses.

Such a month is truly hard to refuse.

At least, Yu Bai couldn't refuse.

The sense of contrast was something that Bu Yue also learned to understand.

It's all thanks to the excellent teaching of the first cohort of teachers. Thank you for your dedicated guidance.

"Of course, Bu Yue, I've always been your best friend. I won't leave." Yu Bai quickly comforted the little black cat in front of him who was whimpering.

"Ah."

Hearing his best friend's promise, Bu Yue was happy, and the disappointment in his eyes disappeared. He gave Yu Bai a small smile.

If Yue is unhappy, Gilgamesh will be unhappy.

He stared wide-eyed at Yu Bai in disbelief. If he weren't currently bound by the Heavenly Lock and unable to move, he would have jumped up and down the moment Yu Bai uttered the first word.

"Enkidu! You are my true friend, and you still say you won't leave this bastard?"

“Uh… Jill, you are of course my best friend too.”

Bewitched by Bu Yue's beauty, Yu Bai only came to his senses after hearing Gilgamesh's accusations.

Oh no, I forgot there's still a powerful weapon I haven't appeased.

In his haste to comfort Bu Yue, Yu Bai neglected Gilgamesh's feelings. He quickly adjusted his mindset and turned his attention to this equally important friend.

“Gil, you are the first friend I ever made. We spent so many years together in Uruk, fighting monsters and battling against the gods together. I willingly bore the divine punishment that Gil suffered back then. You hold an irreplaceable place in my heart.”

Yu Bai's eyes darted around for a moment, and then, after realizing what was happening, he quickly tried to calm Gilgamesh down, who was about to turn into a pufferfish with rage.

I am irreplaceable in my dearest friend's heart, did you hear me, you philandering cat?

When Gilgamesh heard the word "irreplaceable," he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and cast a provocative glance at Bu Yue beside him.

Bu Yue, who had taken in Gilgamesh's provocation, rolled her eyes at him without any regard for his image when Yu Bai wasn't looking.

Since his hands, feet, and body were all bound at this moment, this action was the only way to clearly and directly express his feelings for Gilgamesh.

"Then who's more important, me or this piece of trash?"

Although his best friend's words soothed him a little, Gilgamesh immediately asked a fatal question.

Who is more important, Dad or Mom?

If your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?

When Gilgamesh asked the question, Yu Bai felt as if he were hearing the classic question from his first incarnation, and he immediately felt overwhelmed.

Upon hearing Gilgamesh's question, Bu Yue also opened her eyes wide and looked at Yu Bai.

For a moment, Yu Bai was stared intently at by two pairs of eyes, one red and one black, both hoping to hear their most important answer from Yu Bai's mouth.

……

Gilgamesh: (Gives a provocative look) Did you hear that? I am irreplaceable. Who do you think you are?

Bu Yue: (rolls eyes) Tch~

Yu Bai: What are you two doing behind me?

Bu Yue: Feng Yue, you won't leave me, will you? (In the manner of a treacherous concubine)

Gilgamesh: You damned philandering cat!

Gilgamesh: Who is more important, me or him?

Bu Yue: Starry-eyed, full of anticipation.

Yu Bai: Uh... (cat clutches head and screams jpg)
