One of the Midnight Coats in my inventory has been transformed into something else entirely by a certain dwarf known for his craftsmanship in Tensura.

The Midnight Coat with scarlet lines settled over my plain scarlet T-shirt before I went to the meeting.

Remember when I say I'd dress up? Well, Hiromi didn't say it's weird so it's fine to wear this.

Knights of the Blood, Divine Dragon Alliance, and Liberation. Those are the only three guilds recognized by the Players Association.

The Association itself consists of all three guild leaders as well as a player who worked for the government.

Player ID: Chrysheight, AKA Kikuoka Seijuro. He is an ex- Lieutenant Colonel of the JSDF, who voluntarily transferred over to the Ministry of Internal Affair's Telecommunications Bureau.

He is also one of the supporting characters that appear in the second season of SAO.

I still don't know how many admins are running this shitty game, but I suspect Chrysheight is related to this whole ordeal. Either that, or he was just being swept by the whole current.

And that player is now here, sitting on a chair in Infront of me and the other guild leaders.

"I guess this will be our first meeting then?" Says a man clad in red and white, the man known as Heathcliff who leads the Knights of Blood Guild to where they are today. AKA Kayaba Akihiko, a potential administrator who operates the Aincrad system.

Now why did I say "potential"?

Simply because great sage told me there are multiple admins more than two.

Was he the canon Kayaba Akihiko who made the death game but somehow the game come to life?

Did he meet a random omnipotent being who was responsible for all of this?

Or is he secretly a deity himself?

And is he one of the reasons for my reincarnation?

All possibilities made their way creeping into my brain.

But I know one thing I am very sure of... This guy is a mortal.

There is no sense of a huge amount of divinity like a certain skill of mine radiating from his body, nor do I find his words contradicting to what he actually meant.

If you haven't forgotten, My 『Universal Affinity』 allows me to detect lies.

"I suppose, Heathcliff-san" The owner of that voice was the leader of Devine Dragon Alliance.

Originally, Kibaou's liberation guild was actually just a small party in the anime, his small squad went to a tragedy and would later merge with the mutual aid organization, «MMO Today», led by Thinker. This congregation eventually turned into the Aincrad Liberation Force.

But that's not happening in this timeline. Due to the butterfly effect, Thinker is now the Guild leader of the Devine Dragons.

The guy with umber-brown, wavy hair, and brown eyes is clad with silver shoulder guards and a chest plate over the businessman suit.

And finally, Kikuoka-san wears a formal suit without any kind of Aincrad accessories. The guy fixed his glasses, and voice his thoughts:

"We welcome you here today... Heathcliff-sama, Thinker-sama, and... Akihito-sama."

You guys noticed that? He used my real name to address me. Oh well, I suppose I can't hope to have him mention "BallsDeep69-sama" Infront of a formal meeting between the association and guilds.
