"Thank you kirito-san" said all of the guild member.
"it's no big deal" kirito replied
"um…kirito-san, I know it's rude of me to ask, but what level are you?'' keita ask curiously.
"level 20 or so.''he lied. The truth is he is already level 40.
"What? That's about the same as us. I can't believe you're solo player kirito-san.
"Well, I may be a solo player keita-san, but I only go after lone enemies. It's not efficient.''
"Hey, Why don't you join our guild? We need someone strong like you in this guild. Oh, and this is Sachi. she was a timid girl. I was wondering if you could teach her a little". keita says with a laugh
"geez keita-kun, why are you treating me like I'm useless?'' sachi said frowning.
Kirito look to sachi. 'she's kinda cute and lovely.' he thought to himself. ''well, I guess I'm in. glad to be here." Kirito said. Accepting keita offer to join the guild
"Really? That's great" keita said.
everyone seems happy that kirito become the new member in the guild. After that, everyone in the guild introduce themselves to kirito and throw a little party.

Everyone in the guild are Training and leveling to boost their level and skill.
Sachi fight with some Giant grasshopper. the Monster swing his sharp hand toward Sachi but She is too terrified to defend with her shield or evading the attack.
"Kyaaa…" Sachi screamed afraid of the monster
"Sachi, fall back!" Kirito shouted as he ran toward sachi. Then he cut off the Giant grasshoppers hand, and finish the monster with one strike. ''Are you alright Sachi?'' kirito looks concerned.
"i'm okay ki...kirito-san. th…thank you" She said stammered. Still afraid of the monster who is now already died by kirito's hand.
"Sachi, you have to get rid of your fear and get used to kill the monster. If you always like this, you'll always end up in danger'' Keita said, a little angry.
"I…I'm sorry keita-kun" sachi said, avoided looking to keita's eyes".
"keita-san, it's okay. I'm going to help Sachi relieve her fear. And she will get used to kill the monster in no time'' kirito said calmly, while looking to Sachi's eyes
"th…thank you kirito-san'' Sachi said embarrased. Kirito can see her face looks really cute and lovely when she's embarrased. ''you're so cute sachi... Wait, why i always feeling good when i seeing sachi's face? Am I starting to like her?" he thought to himself.
"kirito…oy kirito" Keita shouted at him. Kirito then wakes up from his daydreaming. "ah, yeah. What is it keita?"
"We'll end up our training for today. we'll buy some ingredient food for our dinner tonight."
With that, they end up the training and go to central city to buy ingredient for tonight's lunch.

After dinner with everyone, Kirito decided to take a walk outside the inn and go to central city to have some fun. When he arrived in the city, he got a message from keita telling him that sachi was gone. Hearing that, kirito feels worried. he immediately use his skill to track sachi's footstep and follow it to the end. After following the footsteps for a few moments, he finally find her under the bridge.
"Sachi" kirito said in calmly voice
"kirito" Sachi replied
"everybody's worried about you" Kirito said gently
"Hey kirito…let's run away…run away from this town, from these monster, from the Black cats, from sword art online"
"Sachi…"
"Hey, why can't we get out of here? It's just a game right? Why do we have to die for real? What's the meaning of all this? Kirito…I'm afraid of dying…I've been so scared that I haven't been able to sleep lately."
Kirito could see Sachi trembling so hard. He can't stand Seeing her like that. Without thinking, he approached her, and then hug her gently.
"Ki…kirito…" Sachi was surprised by kirito's hug
"You're Not going to die Sachi…The Black Cat are a pretty strong guild…and there's me who'll protect you no matter what" Kirito said, trying to make Sachi feel better while hugged her.
"Kirito….are you sure I'm not going to die? will i return to the real world someday?"
"Yeah, you'll not die. I'll guarantee your safety here, you'll definitely live to see the day we clear this game" kirito said in very calmly voice.
"kirito….thank you" Tears began to drop from her eyes
"Let's get back to the inn…everyone are waiting" kirito said while wiping her tears with his hand.
Everyone was relieved to see Sachi is back. Every one of them ask her what happen, but Kirito stop them. "Everyone, I know all of you were worried about her condition,But she's tired right now, so I think it is best to ask the question another time and let her rest for now."
"Yeah, Kirito's right…let her sleep for now" keita said agree with Kirito.
After that, Kirito escort Sachi to her room.
It is midnight now, and Kirito still not sleeping. He's still preparing his item for tomorrow. Then someone knocked his door, and Sachi come to his room.
"Sachi, you still awake?"
"Sorry, I couldn't sleep. Um…Kirito, can i sleep with you tonight?"
"Wh-What?" Sachi are you serious? Kirito looks surprised
"Um…yeah. Can't i?" kirito could see she's shaking. Maybe she's still scared to died
"Um…okay...if that's okay with you" Kirito said Blushing
"Th-Thank you" Sachi said, blushing too
With that, they went to bed together. But Kirito still can't sleep. He's still thinking about Sachi's condition. Sachi seem to notice that Kirito still not sleeping.
"Kirito...?"
"Ah Sachi, Don't worry. You'll survive. I'll protect the guild , especially you" Kirito said in a mild voice, while holding her hand. Hearing that, Sachi smile to him then sleeping close to him. "Sachi…I think I really like you…you are the most important person to me right now. I'll definitely protect you" he thought to himself.
Almost one month passed. Keita really wanted to buy a good house for the guild with the money they had from hunting the monster. So keita will go around town to see if there is a good home for the guild.
"everyone, I will try to find a good house for us. So wait for me" Keita said. Then he teleported to the central town.
"so we're finally getting our own home, I've never been so moved!" said one of the guild member
"hey, lets go farm some money while keita's buying the house" said another one of the guild member
"Then, why don't we go to a labyrinth in one pf the higher floors?"
"what's wrong with our usual hunting grounds?" kirito ask curiously
"we can earn quicker on higher floor, right? Our levels should be high enough for that by now."
June 12th, 2023 [27th Floor,Labyrinth]
The guild have fun hunting some monster for money in the labyrinth, until they find a secret door which revealed some treasure chest.
"Yahoo, there's a treasure chest in this secret room, it'll be good item I presume" said one of the guild member.
"WAIT!" kirito shouted but too late, one of the member already opened the treasure chest which contain a trap. Monster where come from everywhere.
"Let's get out of here" said one of the member. He used the teleportation item but it's not worked. They are in the area where teleportation item cannot be used. Everyone panic, and one of the member get hit by the monster and died.
"NO!" Kirito shouted. After that, 2 other member were also killed in an instant. "DAMN IT! SACHI…AT LEAST I HAVE TO SAVE HER. I'LL SAVE HER NO MATTER WHAT!" kirito shouted in panic
He began to slaughter the monster in his way, to reach Sachi's position. After a second, he can finally see where Sachi is standing, but he see Sachi were surrounded by monster.
"SACHI….!"
"KIRITO…!"
When Kirito about to grab Sachi's hand, some monster made a slash to Sachi's back.
"NOOOOOO…..! SACHI…..! UARGH!" Kirito were turned into a rage mode, and cut all the monster in the room with his sword. After all the monster defeated, he saw her body still lying in the ground, not disappeared. Seeing that, kirito dashed to where her body lying.
"Sachi…" he took her body and look around at her body. Luckily, the monster's slash is not penetrated too deep to Sachi's back, so she's managed to survive although she is unconscious and at a low HP.
Kirito use his healing item to restore her HP to full, although she's still unconscious, at least she's safe.
"Sachi, you're safe…God,thank you for not taking her life'' he said gratefully. But then tears began to drop from his eye. " Sachi, I failed to save the other….i failed to save our friend. What am I supposed to do now?" then he began to sob
