"...OK." I nodded, stepped back, and said with my dry throat. "Well, let's part here. If anything comes up, send me a message. ...well, see you later, Cline." Cline called me as I turned my eyes downwards and turned to leave. "Kirito!" "..." I sent him a questioning glance, but he didn't say anything; his cheek only shook a little. I waved once and turned northwest—the direction of the village that I'd use as my next base. When I had taken about five steps, a voice called out from behind me again. "Hey, Kirito! You look pretty good in real life! You're quite my style!" I smiled bitterly and shouted over my shoulder. "Your look suits you ten times better too!" Then I turned my back on the first friend that I had made in this world and ran straight forward ceaselessly. After I had run through the winding alleyways for a few minutes, I looked back again. Of course, there was nobody there.
