Chapter 698: Journey to PrimCon: Sword Art Online Fans Unite

The morning air was crisp, with a hint of warmth that promised the arrival of spring. Sakura City was beginning to stir, but for a particular group of friends, the day had begun hours ago. It was March 15th, the long-awaited opening day of PrimCon, and they could hardly contain their excitement.

In a cozy apartment not far from the bustling heart of the city, five friends were gathered in the living room, each of them practically vibrating with anticipation. The walls of the apartment were adorned with anime posters, the most prominent of which was a stunning illustration of Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online. The two characters stood back-to- back, swords at the ready, their expressions fierce and determined.

"We're finally going to see it," said Yuto, the de facto leader of the group, his voice tinged with excitement as he adjusted his Kirito cosplay. His black wig was meticulously styled, and he wore the iconic black trench coat with the Elucidator replica strapped to his back. "I can't believe we're actually going to see the Sword Art Online anime stand in person!"

"Neither can I," added Mika, who was dressed as Asuna. Her auburn wig cascaded down her back, and the Knights of the Blood Oath uniform she wore had been carefully crafted over several weeks. "I'm still pinching myself. We've read the light novels over and over, but this is going to be on a whole different level."

The others in the room-Rika, Kenji, and Taro-nodded in agreement. Rika had opted for a casual Kirito-themed hoodie, while Kenji and Taro were dressed in simple Sword Art Online T- shirts, their love for the series evident in the way they talked about it.

"I just want to see the new PrimCon trailer for the anime," Kenji said, his eyes wide with enthusiasm. "The light novel was so immersive, I can't wait to see how they've adapted it."

The Tokyo Studios would release an exclusive trailer that would only pass on the studio stand at PrimCon.

"Same here," Taro added, adjusting his glasses. "It is the first anime release of the Tokyo Studios, I don't know if they will be able to do a good job, but from the trailer they released, the animation looks awesome."

The group had been fans of Sword Art Online ever since they stumbled upon the first volume of the light novel series published by Fuji Jump Co. The story of a virtual reality MMORPG that traps its players in a deadly game of survival had captivated their imaginations. They had eagerly devoured each subsequent volume, discussing the plot twists and character developments with a fervor that only true fans could muster. When the announcement came that the series would be adapted into an anime, their excitement had reached a fever pitch. And when they learned that the anime would have a dedicated stand at PrimCon, they knew they had to be there.

The tickets had sold out quickly, but the group had managed to secure the last few available. It had been a scramble, with all five of them furiously clicking and refreshing the ticketing website in hopes of snagging a spot. The moment they succeeded, they knew it would be a day to remember.

Yuto glanced at his watch. "It's almost time to head out. We don't want to be late."

"Good idea," Rika said as she grabbed her bag, which was adorned with various Sword Art Online keychains. "I've got everything we need-snacks, water, and, of course, our tickets."

The group did one final check to make sure they had everything before heading out the door. As they stepped outside, the cool morning air greeted them, and they could see the first hints of cherry blossoms beginning to bloom on the trees lining the streets. It was a beautiful day in Sakura City, and the excitement in the air was palpable.

The subway ride to Kizuna Hall was filled with chatter about what they hoped to see at PrimCon. They talked about the other attractions, the merchandise they planned to buy, and, of course, the Sword Art Online stand. The subway car was filled with other anime fans, many of whom were also dressed in cosplay or wearing anime-themed clothing. The atmosphere was electric, with everyone buzzing about the upcoming event.

As the subway neared their stop, Yuto turned to the group. "Okay, let's stick together once we get there. We don't want to get separated in the crowd."

"Agreed," Mika said, holding up her phone. "And if we do get split up, we'll meet back at the entrance."

The group nodded in unison. They were a tight-knit bunch, and nothing was going to ruin their day.

When they finally emerged from the subway station, they were greeted by a breathtaking sight. Kizuna Hall loomed ahead, its massive glass fa?ade reflecting the morning sun. The building was an architectural marvel, with sleek lines and a modern design that made it stand out against the surrounding cityscape. But what truly took their breath away was the sheer number of people gathered outside.

A massive crowd had already formed, with fans from all walks of life eagerly awaiting the opening of the convention. The atmosphere was electric, with the sounds of excited chatter, laughter, and the occasional burst of music filling the air. Many fans were dressed in cosplay, representing characters from a wide variety of anime and manga. The vibrant colors and intricate costumes added to the festive atmosphere, making it feel like a celebration of all things anime.

"Wow, this is incredible," Rika said, her eyes wide as she took in the scene. "I knew there would be a lot of people, but this... this is on another level."

"It's like a dream come true," Kenji added, snapping a few pictures with his phone. "Look at all the cosplays! These guys are amazing!" He exclaimed as he admired some cosplays that definitely took hundreds of hours of creation.

Yuto grinned. "We're definitely in good company."

As they made their way toward the entrance, the group couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie with the other fans around them. They were all here for the same reason-to celebrate their love for anime and manga, and to experience the magic of PrimCon. The excitement was contagious, and they could feel their anticipation building with each step they took.

The line to enter the convention was long, snaking around the building and stretching far beyond what they had expected. But the group didn't mind. They were surrounded by fellow fans, all of whom shared their passion for anime. Conversations flowed freely, with strangers bonding over their favorite series, characters, and moments. It was a unique experience, one that could only be found at an event like PrimCon.

As they finally reached the front of the line, the group couldn't help but exchange excited glances. This was it-the moment they had been waiting for. Beyond those doors lay the world of PrimCon, a place where their love for anime would be celebrated, and where they would finally get to see the Sword Art Online stand in all its glory.

"I can't believe we're actually here," Taro said, his voice filled with awe.

"Neither can I," Mika replied, her eyes shining with excitement. "This is going to be

Amazing."

As the doors to Kizuna Hall opened and the group stepped inside, they were greeted by a wave of cool air and the sight of countless stands, banners, and displays. The convention was a sprawling wonderland of anime and manga, with every corner offering something new and exciting to discover.

But for Yuto, Mika, Rika, Kenji, and Taro, there was only one destination in mind-the Sword Art Online stand. And as they made their way through the crowds, their hearts raced with anticipation. The journey to PrimCon had been long, but it was only just beginning. Outside Kizuna Hall, the line of eager fans continued to grow, stretching further and further as more people arrived. The sun was beginning to rise higher in the sky, casting a warm glow over the city. It was the start of a new day, and for the group of Sword Art Online fans, it was the start of an unforgettable adventure.
