Sword Art Online 13 - Alicization Dividing Chapter 10 - Integrity Knight Alice 46 While enduring the impulsive urge to tease her incensed by her nearly mute voice, I caught hold of the chain as well. “Right, I’ll lift you up slowly, then. Here I go.” I cautiously pulled up the chain after that single line. My foothold, the piton, creaked softly, but it seemed it could bear the weight of two if it was for a short time. Taking care not to jolt it, I lifted the great golden knight a meter before holding the chain still for the moment. “…Alright, you can pull your sword out now.” Alice nodded and delicately extracted her Fragrant Olive Sword from the stone wall it had been thrust into. The chain weighed down anew in that instant, but I kept it under control somehow. Upon confirming she had sheathed her sword, I continued pulling up. I called out once more after Alice’s boots got onto the first piton. “Hold onto the wall with both hands… yeah, alright, I’ll be letting the chain go.” I couldn’t see her expression from this angle, but Alice desperately tried to stick onto the wall and haphazardly shook her head. While imagining her expression likely present below her golden hair, fluttering in the wind, I gently lowered my right arm. The knight ended up reeling a little atop the thin piton, but immediately regained her balance.
