Chapter 73: Chapter 72 – A Visit to Iloilo City
Third person POV
Later on, after helping on his father's farm, Roxas rested for a bit, took a shower, and dressed in his new set of outdoor clothes, wanting to go to Iloilo City for a visit and to go to a mall in it. Anko was curious about the city itself, wanting to see it for himself through Roxas' body. Right in time, Ricardo decided to go there to do some errands related to his two businesses. So, hearing that, Roxas had the opportunity to take a ride in his father's multicab. And so, the three of them went to Iloilo City, which was south of Santa Barbara, by multicab. As Ricardo drove along, Roxas and Anko were having the time of their lives. Anko felt the breeze of the vehicle moving down the road through his vessel's body, and Roxas was positive and looking forward to seeing the city for the first time in months.
Meanwhile, back in Japan, Shuto had unlocked the side achievement Sympathy for the Dead Player after finding out where Mai died in Aincrad using the same coordinates Mai gave him. The place was an alleyway, and Mai revealed that she died of a monster attack. Shuto felt bad for her and sympathized with her, thus unlocking the side achievement. Now, Shuto chose a set of 3 incense sticks to honor her death and prayed for her soul.
Back at Iloilo, the Philippines, Roxas and Anko arrived at the big city of Iloilo, getting off the multicab as Ricardo said to them, "Anak, magkita tayo sa SM Iloilo ngayong tanghalian."
"Yes, po, papa," replied Roxas back positively while Anko remained invisible to his surroundings.
