The moment she realized this, Nao could no longer sit still. After hurriedly drying herself off and wrapping herself in a bath towel, she returned to her room and called Kirito.
Kirito had been about to log into the game, and when he saw Nao's name on the caller ID, he had originally not wanted to answer.
