Sword Arts Online: Darkness

Chapter 66: Chapter 65 - Recitation Tactic



Third person POV

 Receiving his reward in order to leave Japan, Roxas enthusiastically replied back, "Thank you so much!" Smiling at him, Shuto responded, "You're welcome. We had some fun before we could go home." Minato and Koyuki then nodded to support his statement. Roxas and Anko were happy to hear that. After that, the Nitama Group went to the nearest restaurant to eat a good lunch meal before going back to their shared house in Kanagawa Ward by train and bus. There the party rested for a bit, and after that, Minato, Shuto, and Koyuki packed up their things and said goodbye to Roxas and Anko, before leaving the house and going back home to their families' houses within the Kanto Region by train and bus.

 Shortly after that, Roxas used the Template Ticket, a plane ticket-sized, high-tech touchscreen that books a flight for its holder, to book a flight from Tokyo, Japan to Iloilo City, the Philippines on his preferred airline Bicol Air. After much finding and modifying, his final plane ticket on the Template Ticket was now:

Tokyo- Narita - Legazpi City - Iloilo City

Price: Free due to the quest being finished

Original price: 4,999 Php

Type of ticket: One-way

Schedule: Monday (Today) - 5 p.m. for the first leg and 10 p.m. for the second leg

Airline: Bicol Air

Class and Seat: Business class - 5B (First leg) and Economy class - 16A (Second leg)

Airplane: Airbus A330-300 (First leg) and Airbus A320 neo (Second leg)

 After checking and double-checking every nook and cranny of detail and information, Roxas booked it immediately. "Now, I'll buy some souvenirs and food for my pamilya and kapamilya sa Pilipinas!"

Anko then nodded in agreement despite not knowing what the last part of Roxas' line meant since the ghost player hadn't learned that part of Tagalog yet.

 And so, after packing up his bags and locking the front door of the shared house, Roxas carried his three bags and went to the school with Anko to deposit the house key to the school's House Keys Desk. There Roxas did so, and the House Keys Desk receptionist received it and put it on a hook, before saying to Roxas, "Thank you, kid. Are you traveling today?"

 "Yes, I'll be flying to my home country the Philippines," responded Roxas back nicely while Anko was invisible to the receptionist.

 "Oh, okay, have a safe and fun trip."

 With that, Roxas and Anko left the desk and school and went into the city's urban markets to buy some souvenirs and food products for Roxas' family and friends back home in the Philippines. All of these cost a bit for Roxas, but he can afford that. After that, the duo stopped at a sidewalk, and Roxas pulled out his phone to book a ride to the faraway Tokyo-Narita International Airport through a riding app known as Tiger Express. This app offered users rides by Tiger Express-officiated drivers of different vehicles, from motorcycles and scooters to cars and vans. Roxas booked a car, a Toyota grey one, for his ride to the said airport. And then, while Roxas and Anko are waiting for their ride, Evil Asuna and Evil Kirito suddenly teleport into the scene and near Roxas and Anko, causing Roxas and Anko to shiver in fear. But Roxas regained his bravery and began to recite the First Article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Mizo, a Tibetan-Burmese language in India.

Evil Kirito and Evil Asuna heard that and looked at Roxas, who kept on reciting and correcting any errors in his recitation.

This is one of Roxas' tactics on them according to his Book of Strategies and Tactics.

That one is called Recitation.

 Anko watched Roxas' recitation with a smile on his face. Roxas then finished his recitation on the last sentence and looked at the Elite Players happily. "Hey there! That was in Mizo, a language of India."

 "Oh…" the two Elite Players responded in getting what Roxas had said.

Evil Kirito and Evil Asuna then noticed Roxas' roller bag and backpack, as well as his messenger bag, on him, and Evil Kirito asked him, "Where are you going?"

 "We're traveling to the Philippines, my home country," responded Roxas brightly.

 "Yup!" Anko happily added. "I am excited to see his homeland!"

Roxas then made a two-finger gesture as a way to be cool at this, which is going back to his home country.
