Zeltran: Arc 1.1j

RIIING!! Nanase fumbled in the dark until she found her phone. It was Keiko. She checked the time. 3 AM. No way; not answering this. She thumbed the “deny” button, put her phone back down on the nightstand, and rolled over.

In the morning, she checked her phone again. “HOLY MOTHER OF SPAM!” There were five new voicemails, all from Keiko. Dreading what she was about to hear, she put the phone to her ear.

“Dude, pick up your damn phone! It’s all over the news: all those people in SAO just woke up! Call me!” Delete. Nanase wasn’t going to be fooled by another one of Keiko’s stupid pranks. She took a shower, then put on the radio while she made breakfast. “… and the government has released a statement that all SAO Survivors will be enrolled in a remedial school with catch-up classes to remedy their lack of education while trapped in the game.” Whoa. Keiko was actually telling the truth for once.

After finishing breakfast, Nanase jogged down the block to the Kazamoto’s house. She had only moved into her house six months ago, so she had never met the oldest child, Tai. According to the news, he should be just waking up from SAO.
