I don't own SAO or Touhou... Just the usual stuff~


-4 weeks later-

Cirno: Level 79

Daiyousei: Level 55

-Floor 55: Market-

"Woah!" Daiyousei widens her eyes at the cheerful place Kirito and Asuna took her for a little break. With her past levelling, the couple thought that they should take Daiyousei to the guild in prior to their return since she was a real talent on levelling up like how they remarked her when they first met the green-haired fairy. "This place looks like the Human Village at festivals; it really takes me back to Gensokyo just by watching this scene. Thank you for this Kirito-san, Asuna-san!" She smiled gleefully at the two while stretching her hands to show her happiness.

"That's alright Daiyousei, we need to get here anyways it's time for us to head back to the guild." Kirito patted the young girl's head firmly and questions her about one thing. "But I should ask this... What is the Human Village you're talking about and what is Gensokyo? I'm pretty sure I haven't heard that in Japanese class when I was still in middle school, right Asuna?"

Kirito looked at Asuna who shook her head in response to his question. "True, if we break down the meaning of it just like what most Japanese people do in their names it would mean... Land of Illusions. A fantasy land?" Asuna closes her eyes and thought deeply about it. "Hmm... No, still doesn't make sense."

"Umm... I could tell you a bit though." Daiyousei sweat-dropped as the couple tried on making out the literal meaning of Gensokyo. "Keine-sensei once told me that Gensokyo is a land of illusions, where all the forgotten yokai, fairies and other inhuman creatures exist. Including me and Cirno who are fairies! Yokai like the tsuchigumo and the oni also live there in fact, I know some of them through our pranking." The green-haired girl continued on ranting about her fantasy hometown, from fairies to the yokai and even to Reimu and Marisa. But as how those things don't exist in the Outside World, Asuna and Kirito still didn't believe the small girl's story in their hearts.

"(Is this girl... really true at her thinking?)"

"(...She's not from a mental hospital, is she?)"

Before Kirito and Asuna blurt out any offensive words at Daiyousei, a red-haired with a bandana and a brown-haired girl walked towards them as they talked about random happenings on the festival. "You're not really lucky on those things are you, Klein-san?" "Weeelll... The girls around here just don't notice my charm, but I know I can find one these days. I'm not going to give up! I'll definitely surpass Kirito!"

"...Surpass me in what Klein?" He tilted his head, not knowing what Klein wants to surpass on him innocently.

"G-Geh! Kirito-san!"

"Ah Kirito-san! Nice to meet you here!" Silica bowed down in greeting to the two players in front of her before noticing Daiyousei because of her wings. "...? Kirito-san, who is that girl behind you? She has a nice set of costume."

Kirito pulls over Daiyousei by the shoulder and places her in front. "Hueh!?" "Silica, Klein, this is Daiyousei. We met her at the first floor being bullied by The Army guild." He patted the green-haired girl on the head reassuringly. "Don't worry; they're not some bad guys like that other ones."

"Eh... Ah... If Kirito-san says so... N-Nice to meet you too, Klein-san, Silica-san." Daiyousei greeted with a blush all over her face.

"(Cute...)"

"Hmmm...? It's okay to call me Silica or Silica-chan though, no need for formalities." Silica hugged the fairy tightly in greetings since they are just the same height and same length. She crept up her arms to Daiyousei's wings and touched them a bit. "(This... Is this really costume?)" She let go of her and inspected the green-haired girl thoroughly. "Hmmm... They don't show up..."

"Umm... What doesn't show up, Silica?" Daiyousei fidgets a bit as Silica continues on staring at her. "T-Those eyes are starting to scare me out a bit..."

The brown-haired girl shakes her head a bit and grabbed Daiyousei's wings making her shriek out in surprise. "This wings... They're a costume right? Where did you buy it, I haven't seen anyone with this kind of accessory." She raises the wings up and down rashly until Daiyousei jerked them up and rushed towards Asuna's back. "Ah..."

"Stop playing with my wings! All fairies have their own wings. If you don't have one despite being a fairy, you're considered as an exile to the fairy community, regardless being attached to your back or not!" Daiyousei clutches Asuna's dress and looks at the trio teary eyed. "Uuu... Cirno wings might not be attached to her but she's still a fairy..."

Silica frantically apologized to Daiyousei to prevent her from crying at her state, still questioning Kirito if what she's saying is true. Kirito just shook his head and shrugged his shoulder in response and the group went to a nearby bench to rest.

-Youths are comforting...-

"She finally went to sleep... That was a surprise when she suddenly started crying. Guess her wings are a sensitive story to her." Kirito scratched the back of his head when suddenly a memory went to him. "Hey Klein, Silica. Could you two watch over her while me and Asuna go somewhere for some business?" The black haired boy looked at Asuna who has no idea what he is talking about.

"Keh! You'll just find an inn for you two to do this and that right? Whatever, no problem Kirito-san!" Klein gave a thumb up sign at the two before being smacked by Silica's fist on the head. "Ow..."

"Klein-san you idiot! He'll surely do it with Asuna in a hotel or at mansion with a large bed!"

"Ehhh!? Well... you do have a point in there Silica... Kirito-san isn't that type of guy to go cheap for her especially for someone so famous."

"Could you two just shut up!?" Asuna shouted at the duo with a huge blush across her face. "Everybody can hear you two argue with weird stares at their faces!" Silica and Klein looked behind Asuna and saw Kirito trying to apologize for the noise on the random players looking at it. "W-Well... It's not like I know where we are going or I have just forgotten..."

"SO IT IS A LOVE HOTEL!"

Kirito flicked the two at their foreheads, although Klein's flick is much harder than Silica's, leaving both of their shiny plate bright red. "We're not going to a love hotel. We're going to the KoB to ask something to Heathcliff, something about Daiyousei being here." Kirito puts his hands on his waist explaining more things about Daiyousei while the two continues on wincing at the pain on their forehead. "You got it?"

"Y-Yeah... so basically Daiyousei is thrown at SAO by an unknown woman, and she also threw in her friend here. Now the friend this girl is saying, asked help from the KoB to find Daiyousei and she's currently training in the front lines as a search payment? Well that's some deal they had, it's like your life in exchange for finding your real life friend." Klein snickered at the thought. Apparently, these days he makes fun of the fact that SAO is a death game to lighten up the mood in some players. "So if the friend she is finding, wouldn't it be easier for you two to just hand Daiyousei over to the guild? I mean, why need to confirm it the gray-haired guild master if the person who filed up a search request is already there?"

"Yeah that's right Kirito-san. I'm sure Daiyousei would also like it if she saw her as soon as possible." Silica agreed to Klein's idiotic train of reasoning.

"You two don't understand... Well... My reason for that is also quite selfish, just my own reason of protection for Daiyousei." Kirito's eyes looked solemn for a minute before switching back to his normal gaze. "We should go now, Asuna. It's almost night time."

"Kirito-kun... Okay, we'll see you later Klein-san, Silica-san."

"Have a safe trip~"

"Yeah we will!" The couple stood at a certain point in the market place, raised up their chins and shouted to the air. "Teleport... Grandzam!"

-Floor 55: Grandzam-

A twinkling light shown up in front of the teleporting post in front of the KoB and soon faded away revealing Kirito and Asuna who just teleported from the market. The couple walked together towards the entrance and went on ahead to Heathcliff's room.

-Knights of the Blood Guild Headquarters-

"Hm...? Well you look at that, it's the popular couple again. How ya doin' Kirito-san, Asuna-san? Still getting the love vibes?" Alfredo greeted the couple as they passed down the hallway with, as usual, Alfredo having 2-3 girls surrounding him.

"Good afternoon, Alfredo-san." Asuna greeted in very polite way in contrary to Alfredo's rude personality. Alfredo pouted a bit to the super formal way of Asuna's greeting, considering he's just happy go and lucky and everyone should be the same. "Is Heathcliff in the room?"

"Hrrrmmm...? Yeah he's in. He's talking to somebody else since I can hear some shouting, dunno sounds like a girl or what." The black-haired boy waves his hands freely in the air expressing his bit of frustration that Asuna still greeted him politely when he was over friendly with her. "I'll just go out and see if anyone wants to hang out with me. Bye Asuna-san, Kirito-san!" He walked past through Asuna and silently whispered into Kirito's ear. "And teach Asuna-san to be friendlier 'kay? Not everyone is good with her being too polite." And walked off completely...

"Err... Right..."

"Hm? What's up Kirito-kun?"

"No... Nothing..." Kirito knocked on the door with a few gentle taps before pushing the door open. The two stood inside the guild master's office with a stand that can compare to a soldier fighting for his country. "Kirito and Asuna reporting back for the front lines, Guild Master Heathcliff."

"Oh you two, welcome back. You're late for one week though, what happened?" Heathcliff said in a calm composure though obvious he has been sweating bullets at his forehead. "(That damned Yukari! Getting in here when she knew I have visitors coming!)

"Ehhh... Sorry about that Heathcliff, something came up so we needed to stay out of the guild for a little more." Kirito scratched the back of his head in apology and turned into a serious face with a stern accent at asking Heathcliff. "Heathcliff-san... About that search message you sent out to the guild members..."

Heathcliff looked at the raven-haired boy intently before opening his mouth. "About that? Why, did you find any girl with the said description? Top shoulder hair length, green hair..." He was cut off when Kirito puts his palm in front of his face with serious eyes.

"Is her real life name...Daiyousei?" Kirito asked with a slight glare in his eyes. Heathcliff just sighed and nodded in agreement to Kirito's statement. "...What is... the search requester's level?" He asked, with his rage barely being controlled on his border. "...And how is she doing in the front lines?"

"Kirito-kun..."

Heathcliff rubbed the bridge of his nose and calmly replied despite knowing that the black swordsman in front of him can turn into a volcano anytime. "Her level is 79 by now; she's training with Kuma on a sudden dungeon event in the east. They should be back late in the evening." He took a pause and relaxed on the back rest of his seat. "For how she's living you ask? She's quite happy in the guild, very popular among the male population here like you Asuna. She is called the "Blue Freezing Blade master" by the juniors in this guild since where ever she walks by it looks like the air conditioning system got 2 times more powerful." The gray haired guild master stopped at describing Cirno and looked at Kirito intently. "...You... You found her friend, right? Thinking Cirno left her in pain at that time?"

"..." The black-haired boy answered in silence regarding the question, continuing to calm his rage within his fists. Heathcliff let out a loud sigh and crossed his arms across his chest.

"I don't know what you are planning to do but I could tell you with utmost certainty that Cirno did not leave Daiyousei in pain that time, Kirito. Even if you go stand-by in this guild you can see the worry on her face whenever you will bring out the topic of her in gatherings or in meetings." The gray haired guild master continued on ranting as Asuna comforts Kirito by patting his back. "She is a good friend of hers, even if you accuse her of leaving that girl. Her eyes and actions will tell the opposite, Kirito."

"Kirito-kun, don't you think the reason she just can't find Daiyousei is that she is too busy with the front lines? Especially if it's Heathcliff-san's request..."

"*cough* A...su...na-san?"

"Ah... I'm sorry for that Heathcliff-san." Asuna sweat dropped at the creepy 'gentle' smile the guild master is giving. She continued on convincing Kirito about the present events. "Anyways, Kirito-kun I think you need to reconsider at your point of view towards Daiyousei's friend. Who knows, she might be a very nice person and can help us solve that criminal problem if she ever remembers who put them into SAO."

Kirito looked at Asuna with widened eyes that resemble a realization shock. "That is... A good thinking Asuna! Alright, I'm not angry with her now! Thank you!" Kirito held both of Asuna's soft hands near his chest with a big, cheery smile plastered at his face, while the two just sweat dropped at the sudden mood change of the black-haired swordsman. "But... I still want to fight her, for different reasons. Not concerning Daiyousei but something I heard from the guild mates while going here."

"Something you heard?" Heathcliff and Asuna voiced out simultaneously.

"I heard from the gossipers that a new comer girl has a certain passive skill that I thought was unique to me." Kirito glanced at the faces of the two with Heathcliff's expression as a... slightly confusing one. "This girl has a passive skill that is exactly like mine... 'Dual Blades' am I right?" He glared at Heathcliff, his eyes looking for an answer at the guild master.

"Hmmm... Indeed, I was at that girl's side when she was surprised at the new skill given to her but..." The guild master close off his eyes and rested his chin at the back of his two palms. "It wasn't 'Dual Blades' that was given to her but 'Dual Wielding (B)'. I don't know why it has (B) at the end of it but I'm sure it means something." He pauses again in deep thinking. "And I'm also certain that is different from your skill. 'Dual Blades' and 'Dual Wielding' is a different name first of all and when you translate it to literal meaning it would differ too."

"Dual blades would mean two blades while dual wielding would mean you posses two things but not at the same time. That would be the right meaning if we butchered out the dictionary on it." Asuna grazes her chin thinking about the skill's name too.

Meanwhile, the Kirito that doesn't want to think or whatsoever merely sweat dropped at the two and waves his hand in front of the two analytics. "Eh... I-I'm sure we can see the difference of it when we ask her to show it to us. Have you seen it by yourself Heathcliff-san?" Kirito tried to pry out the genius atmosphere of the two, for the sake of his mind.

"Hmmm...? No, I haven't seen it sadly. But I think Kuma will give me a report on Cirno's training once they get back, I'm sure it will also include the skill if Cirno used it." Heathcliff smiled at with the gentle aura radiating around the guild master. "Now then, besides Cirno any more questions you two?"

"That should be the only things we need answers for now, they will be back later at evening right? Can we stay here now while we wait for her?"

"I suppose there's no reason to keep you two from staying at the headquarters." Heathcliff stood up from his chair and shook Kirito's hand. "Welcome back to the guild, Kirito-san, Asuna-san."

"Yeah!"

-Floor 55: Market-

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN!? You two didn't day that you we're going to take 10 hours on that little trip you have! We've been everywhere around the place looking!" Klein shouted at the two who flinched at the loud voice coming from the guild leader of Fuurinkazan. "Daiyousei has been pestering us on where you two have been and we have no answer for her whatsoever!"

"You could have told her they went to a love hotel." Silica said in a playful tone while hugging Daiyousei in a corner. "Isn't that right Daiyousei-chan?"

"Ehhh...? That was true?"

"NO!" The couple immediately denied the false statement against them with an unconvincing red blush along their faces. "We took long because we had to clean up our room in headquarters and we need to prepare a room for Daiyousei too."

"That's right! We don't have time to do such a thing like... doing... 'That'..." Asuna pouted cutely obviously being embarrassed by the accusation of them two.

"Huh? You going to take Daiyousei to the KoB now? Ehhh...?" Klein makes a 'I can't believe it' face after hearing the two that they are preparing a room for Daiyousei meaning they're going to live in there with them.

"Why so surprised Klein?"

"Eh but..." Klein huddles up to Kirito in order for Daiyousei not to hear it. "...Why are you letting the girl go to the KoB? You do know if that gray haired guild master of yours sees her, he would no doubt recruit her for the front line!"

"Ehhh...? But where else should I take her? Besides, her friend that issued a search party at the guild is working in it; I bet she would like it if she sees her friend as soon as possible." Kirito replied bluntly at the red-haired, obviously dense about the subject.

"But... Are you okay with putting her in danger like that?" Klein questioned, in an attempt to not let Daiyousei into the front lines and risk her life in it. Of course, even though Daiyousei has just been with them for only a few hours and she met the other members of Fuurinkazan some moments ago before Kirito and Asuna came in, he thought that such a kid would be a waste to just die in a game. "I mean... she's a kid Kirito! Even younger than us!"... Apparently not knowing she's over 60 years old too like most of the known fairies in Gensokyo.

"It's okay Klein, I'll make sure to protect her when the time comes; I won't let her die in this game!" The black swordsman whispered with great confidence at the red-haired guild leader who just sweat dropped at the confidence level of Kirito.

Klein pushed away Kirito from the huddle and stretched out relaxingly into the air. "AHHHH! I don't get but well... If that's your decision fine with me. It's not like I know her more than you..." He pouted at Kirito who replied in an innocent stare of questioning. "Geh so dense... Anyways, since Kirito and Asuna is here, are you going now with the Daiyousei or still want to go that inn to have a drink? They got some sake in there dunno how they put it in the game!"

"Ehhh!?"

"What are you saying Klein-san!? Daiyousei-chan is still under aged to drink!"Silica retorted at Klein and backed up by Kirito and Asuna arm locks at Klein. "Seriously..."

"But... I do drink sake back at home... with Cirno and the others at festivals." Daiyousei meekly answered at the current confusion, making them look at her with weird stares. "Ah...?"

An awkward silence ensues...

"...Seriously?"

"Daiyousei-chan..."

""...""

"Eh? Ah?" Daiyousei frantically looks at her companions with weird looks and gazes. "W-What?"

"Seriously you guys..." Kirito shakes his head and pats Daiyousei on her shoulders before smiling to them. "Well, it doesn't matter if Daiyousei is under aged here right? Since we are technically the same age in this game, we just differ in our real birthdays." The black swordsman chuckled softly followed by Silica and soon by Asuna and Klein. "So? Let's go to that inn that you are saying Klein, Daiyousei will come and drink too."

"Alright! Right this way ladies and Kirito!"


-Floor 70: Pixie's Lair-

"Umm... Cirno?"

"Hm? What is it, Kuma?"

"Are you sure we're not lost here?"

"Ah about that..." The blue haired fairy looks around the trees surrounding them, looking at it very carefully one by one. "(T-This tree looks familiar... Did we just pass through here?)" Cirno sweat dropped at the nice realization that they have indeed past by that tree for the 5th time since the entered the dungeon. "...Yeah, we're lost."

"You only noticed that now Cirno? Looks like you're still slow on this~" A blonde woman's voice softly chuckled out of Cirno's side radio only to be replied with a large crash by Cirno throwing the talking box to the tree that immediately prompted up a "Immortal Object" screen at the top. "Hey, wait! You can't just leave this radio here! You need me for the future quests Cirno-chan~!"

Cirno only glared at the radio with some of her veins popping out of her forehead. "Then just shut up with your annoying comments on our situation Yukari." She picked up the radio gently and fastened it to her belt. "So Kuma... Any ideas how will we get out of here? I'm getting a bit tired..."

"I'm getting a bit tired too let's see..." Kuma waves his hand on the air summoning the menu screen in front of him. He pushed a bit of some things here and there and withdraws a small looking map from it. "According to Heathcliff-san, there should be a small NPC around here that should guide us to this dungeon's boss and finally getting us out of here." The brown haired boy rolls the map inward and gently touches his hair with his hand. "But given our situation here... "

Cirno and Kuma both sighed in defeat at their hopeless maze.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Man, they should have at least given us an escape route on this map! We've been walking for hours here!" The hot headed blue fairy shouted out in frustration when a scream suddenly caught their attention.

"Kyaaaaaa...! P-Please help! A large electric Carbuncle is chasing meeeee...!"

Cirno and Kuma both looked to the direction of the shouting and had unimaginable reaction faces at the giant fur ball charging on them while chasing a little girl in a white robe with pigtails at the side of her head.

"What..."

"Is that...?"

"Heeeeeelp meeeee!"

"Geh!?"

The Carbuncle let out a loud but cute growl at the girl and the two party mates who are obviously still buffering on what was happening. The yellow boss monster showed up 3 HP bars and started to make yellow electric sparks blast off from its body.

"Woah!?" Kuma tumbled face first at the ground and slid on the ground from the impact on his knees. "Is this the dungeon boss!? Such a surprise attack..."

"Doubt that Kuma, if it's the dungeon boss it should have around 7 to 9 HP bars." Cirno rubbed the dirt off from her cheek and unsheathed the blue pale sword from its safe home and rushed towards to the giant electric fur ball. "Kuma! Take care of the girl for me!" The large Carbuncle responded to Cirno's shouting and waved its large flail like tail and tried to smash the blue fairy. The Blue Freezing Blade master sidestepped from the impact place of the metal tail and parried some of the rocks flinging from it. She then climbs up the tail of the Carbuncle and delivers a heavy critical blow on its back.

"O-Okay!" The brown haired boy quickly grabbed the little girl by the waist and rushes off to a nearby tree behind the Carbuncle. "Should be safe here... Oh by the way, what's your name and why were you chased by the Carbuncle?" Kuma turned to the fear-shaking girl beside him. He concentrates for a while searching for the cursor that shows the IGN of a player. "(...No... Name?)"

The little girl shook her red pigtails for a while and smiled at Kuma. "Ehehe... My name is Motosume. Umm... Thanks... For saving me you two." She blushes more and hides her face.

Kuma looks at the Motosume for a while before smiling back and pats her head firmly. "Don't worry about that, we always help someone in the times of trouble. Now then, Motosume just stay here and don't move." The short haired boy unsheathed his metal sword and rushes off to the monster being attacked by Cirno. He delivers a short red impact on the side of the Carbuncle and proceeds to slash it with another heavy blow.

The duo continued on slashing the giant fur ball at high speeds, blue and red slashes flying around the monster boss as the boss continues on growling at the constant blundering of the two. "...Cirno? Better be careful now, something is happening~" Yukari suddenly spoke out from the radio halting Cirno in her tracks while the Carbuncle continues on storing on what it seems... light energy. "What... Ah! Kuma! Get away and take cover now!" Cirno shouts out to her companion as she herself runs away from the monster and hides behind a large slab of rock.

"Buuuu... Light Sign... Shock of Wave...!" An audible girl's voice, presumably to be Kirisame Marisa, came out from the Carbuncle's body and followed by a large explosion of light and electricity flowing down to the whole forest shocking every monster unfortunate to get caught in it.

"Guuh...!"

"Nnngh...!"

"Kyaaaaaa!"

Finally after seconds of pure energy coming from the boss, the whole surroundings soon calmed down and the usual breeze returned with the Carbuncle no longer to be seen. "Whew... It's over. Huh? It's gone?" Cirno looked around the surrounding which is just how it was before the large fur ball came rampaging on them. "Weird..."

"Congratulations, Cirno! You have passed my 2nd trial for this game you have! ...Ow!" Yukari happily congratulated Cirno through the box only to be replied by the blue fairy's hard fist on the radio. "Uuu... I told you my ears are sensitive..."

"Just shut up... 1 month ago you sent us a large frog out of nowhere now a large... yellow animal of a thing that shoots off electricity. I REALLY appreciate it Yukari." Cirno said sarcastically on the woman at the other end but soon scratched the back of her neck with a blush. "Well... it certainly did improve my skills a bit..."

"Fufu... I told you it would be useful for you Cirno-chan~" Yukari cooed at the radio earning Cirno its disgust. "Anyways, back to the original project your guild master has given to you, haven't you two already found the NPC you were looking for?" Cirno looked at the radio with a 'realization shock' face and immediately shook Kuma.

"K-Kuma! Where's the girl you just saved a while ago? Where did you put her?" The blue haired girl shook the brown haired boy so hardly that Kuma's eyes we're going spiral. "C-C-Calm doooown... Cirnooo... She's there behind the... tree." Kuma points at the large tree with trembling arms and dizzy stance due to the previous shaking done to him.

Cirno immediately turned to the tree being pointed by Kuma and sees Motosume shivering at fear by the way the blue fairy shook Kuma out of his guts. "Ah... Sorry. Are you alright?" She asked on the cowering girl behind the tree.

"I-Is... Onii-san okay?" Motosume asked Cirno with eyes on the verge of crying. Apparently, she took a bit of liking to Kuma. "Uuu... Onii-san..."

"A-Ah ... Err..." Cirno frantically thought up of a way to calm the girl down until she felt a pat at her head. "Huh...? Kuma?" Kuma smiled at the fairy and kneeled in front of Motosume. "It's okay, don't cry. I'm fine just a bit shook up from her." Motosume seemed to get the message and soon smiled in response to Kuma's words.

"Ehehe... Sorry for shaking you Kuma. Anyways, little girl do you know how to get out of this forest? We have been here for at least an hour and we kept on going on circles." Cirno explained their direction problem to Motosume who seem to understand it and soon nodded waiting for permission to speak at a time.

"I know how to get out here but... this forest in its current state... is sealed within it."

"EH!?"

Motosume nodded once more and started to lead the way with the two hearing what incident happened on the forest. "I think it was 3 days ago. A fairy king came in this forest and started conquering it by defeating a large amount of monsters." The brown girl swayed her head from side to side as if searching for some landmarks. "The effects of that time on the monsters were devastating ones. The surviving species, like that Carbuncle we just met, soon went berserk and will kill any human or humanoid feature on the spot of seeing it."

"Geh, so you mean... That Carbuncle attacked you since you're human?" Kuma asked momentarily taking off his eyes at the map.

"Huh? I'm not a human. I'm one of the fairies that came with the king when he conquered this land, that's why I know what happened here."

The two stopped dead on their tracks as they stare at Motosume in surprise and shock.

"You're..."

"...A fairy?"

The red girl spun on her heel and looked at the two with 'I can't believe it' looks plastered on their faces. "Oh right, you guys think fairies would have wings, don't you? I just kept mine hidden since they might be seen by someone from those group." Motosume waved her hand in the air and two white silky wings come out of her back seemingly gently being caressed by the wind. "We should walk more, it's a long way."

-Youths are walking...-

The trio walked together at the forest for at least half an hour. Climbing over large boulders, crossing over clear rivers, and sliding down across steep ledges. They went and explored the forest doing all the adventurous moves that you can think, until they reach a large wooden door with a presumably, fairy symbol engraved on it.

"Hmm... It's still quite majestic as ever even if this door was built legends ago." Motosume commented as she walked towards the vines that wraps the whole door.

"Legends? I thought the fairy king only started his invasion 3 days ago?" Kuma looked at the red haired fairy with a questioning look. "Still, it looks too old to be made in just 3 days."

"I did say the king invaded this forest 3 days ago, but I didn't say other fairies didn't inhabit this work of nature." Motosume smiled while her hands worked on uncovering a patch of grass buried under the vines. "The fairies that lived here before the king came were nomadic. Apparently, their leader took a liking at this place and built a landmark at this place for that remark. They put also put a spell bound security system here so we could assume they are going to return at this place."

"Geh? So we can't open this door? We're not from that tribe..." Kuma scratches his chin and froze as the door started to move with a gigantic sound. "Wah... Wha..."

Motosume let out a small chuckle and smiled at the two. "Even if there's a security system, it doesn't mean it's completely sealed. You could say I'm those "code-breaker" types of fairies, my job is to learn codes and spells and help the king through it." She looked at the side of the group and saw 2 fairies with a clothing of gold.

"Who dares to go inside Puck's Labyrinth!?"

"Wait... Aren't you...? The scholar of Ex-King Oberon!? What are you doing in these grounds, traitor?!"

Two fairy soldiers immediately pointed their spears at Motosume who was shocked by the two suddenly showing up. "And you! What are you two doing with that traitor? Are you part of the rebels with her?"

"Rebels? What are they talking about, Motosume?" Cirno boredly ignored the tip of their spears at her face and asked the question casually to the red-haired girl. Only to see the girl with an emotion mixed of anger and despair. "...Motosume?"

"What are you saying...? Aren't you guys the traitors?" Motosume's eyes burn with a mix of red and orange, glaring at the two golden soldier so ferociously that it could melt a piece of titanium. "You're the ones who tricked the king, made him fall to death, and suddenly raising his jester to the throne while having those petty greedy smiles at your faces. You even stabbed him in the back whenever he's not around managing your pleasure time at the day, and you dare call us the traitors!?" She couldn't keep the emotions on her chest and thus bursted out with a great anger of roar. "You insolent fools! You're the people who are better off dead not the King Oberon!"

"Why this bitch..."

"You asked for it... Seal Breaker Scholar of the 1st ranking squad, Motosume! Prepare to meet your fate!"

As a blast of wind goes through the forest, the two golden soldiers suddenly lunged at the red-haired fairy with their spears channelling a yellow energy which can be seen as electricity. With a roar of battle cries, Cirno and Kuma unsheathed their swords and proceeded to fight the two soldiers in defence of their friend.

"Guh... You're not too bad for a humanoid monster." Cirno pushes away the soldier at her front and began attacking him with a flurry of slashes. "Motosume! Hurry up and run!"

Hearing Cirno's voice, Motosume snaps out of the anger daze and surprises herself as her two companions took into her defence. "Onee-san... Onii-san..."

"We'll take care of them, be quick since they're quite strong!" Kuma parries another spear lunge on his side and steps back in order to charge a sword skill. "Sonic Leap!"

With a small dash step, the soldier avoided the sword skill and proceeded to counter the attack with a lunge, giving Kuma a little damage on his health bar. "Hmph... Protecting the fairy will get you to nowhere! You don't know who she really is!"

"(Who she really is?)" Kuma thought as the soldier told him that like a warning of some sort. He immediately parried the spear and turned to face to Motosume with a red and orange aura around her, the same glow when her eyes are angry. "What..."

"Too late now fools... You know why King Puck really wants her dead? It's because she's a real threat to our plan. She's just a petty seal breaker in order to camouflage that magic but in truth she's way too powerful to even live." The soldier silently whispered on Kuma's ear. "Oh well, when she uses that she would die, guess its fate that you will come with us to hell."

With the sudden realization of things, Kuma screamed at Cirno in order to alert her with the situation. The 4 locked down their weapons with each other and looked unwaveringly at the slow power charging up at the area.

"By the power of the nature..."

"Well... This is..."

"Guess it's already started."

"Just shut up you two, I'm more intrigued how she can use magic in SAO when the Cardinal doesn't allow it."

"Uhh... Cirno, she's an NPC she's not bound by those rules."

"Oh right."

Motosume continued on to charge up power from her spot, muttering silently a spell of some sort. As the magic circle continued to grow and glow that seems to burst... "Well now and here I thought you were dead Seal Breaker-chan... Guess I would have some REAL firepower in my army if I awaken those thingies of yours furthermore~."... A voice out of nowhere suddenly spoke up that seems to come from a little child.

"Who...?" Kuma and Cirno looked around the forest to find the source of the voice only to have their attention captured once more as a bolt of lightning struck down on the red-haired girl. "MOTOSUME!"

"Gyaaaaaaaaah!"

"Eheheheee... Well it looks like your bodyguards are a bit useless when you're storing up powers ne? Motosume?" A short blonde haired kid walked towards to the now spell-bounded, Motosume and continues on with his leery smile. "Oh you two, did you finish your scouting already?"

"K-King Puck!" The two soldiers immediately let go of Cirno and Kuma and kneeled down to the kid. "We're very sorry you're Highness, we weren't able to kill these traitors!"

"We'll take any punishment we deserve!"

The kid, apparently named Puck, scratched the back of his head and flexed his muscles a bit. "Punishment eh? Then I command you two to bring these three back to the lair and then clean the whole area over there near the trees. It's kinda full of Carbuncle shit." He pointed an area with a mound of... something and continued on his smile as he walked away.

"Yes sir! You two come with us!"

Without any resistance, the duo silently let themselves be captured and walked away from the scenery.

-Fairy King Lair of Congress-

10 minutes has passed since the capturing of the three and now, The Blue Freezing Blade Master and Kuma sat on the floor with their thighs under them waiting patiently for the orders of the "king" Puck.

"So your majesty? What are you going to do with Motosume now?" Cirno glared at Puck who is eating a cracker-like food on his throne.

"What am I going to do exactly...? Well let's just say there's this really large power and it's so large than it could blow up the whole forest... no... The whole world! So I'm doing everyone a favour and I'm going to extract this dangerous bomb to make lives easier using it. Magic powered technology... Very cool huh?" Puck smiled at the two with a sickening, greedy smile that infuriated the duo more.

"Motosume is NOT that kind of girl to actually blow up the whole world!" Kuma shouted in defence of the little girl.

"Oya oya? How can you be so sure about that kid? You've only met her just a while ago." Puck's face suddenly turned serious when he faced Kuma and soon smiled again. "Don't tell me you have fallen for her?"

"Ugh! That's not possible at all..."

"Ahaha! Eheheheee! I was just joking around, I am a jester before I was the king~ Of course my old master, Oberon, was nothing but a piece of shit. Love? Kindness? What a joke, none of those even exist these days. What you need is brute power, the power to conquer all of the lands, the power to make everyone fall on their knees in front of you!" The blonde short man suddenly laughed out manically on his seat and soon stopped to breathe out for air. "And to think you have Oberon's traits at a minor level kiddo with the brown hair... It just really pisses me off. Yellow eyes, that kind affection that turns malicious when your friends are at risk. Heh such traits should just die... forever. Men, do what you want with them, I just want them DEAD."

With a stern glare at Puck's eyes the soldiers around them lifted their spears and started lunging towards the duo bounded by ropes. With a snap of each thread, Cirno easily freed herself and grabbed Kuma by the collar and jumped outside the circle of soldiers. "Oya oya? Well this is quite interesting eh?"

"Hmph... If this is interesting to you, you must be pretty bored aren't you Mr. King Puck?" Cirno smiled mockingly at Puck while she cut off Kuma's ropes with her sword. "Shall we let these soldiers have a dance Kuma?"

"... Sure... Why not." Kuma shared the same determined smile Cirno had and readied his sword by his side.

"Ahaha! I had gotten myself such interesting captives! Well then to keep up with your game... Men! I permit you the use of the energy within your weapons. Exhaust them to death if you wish! We have lots of those stored anyways." Puck ordered his troops with the same sadistic aura around him and threw out his arms in front of him as he spoke. "Well then? What are you waiting for? Charge!"

With a roar of battle, the mass amount of soldiers charged at the duo awaiting them with their readied swords. Multiple spears clashed together with a single sword, the sound of metal crashing at each other. Each melody of the battle only enticed Puck more and more with Cirno and Kuma with their skills in battle even being outnumbered by a hundred to two.

"Ahaha! Go! Fight more MORE!"

"He's quite the sadist isn't he, Cirno?"

"I know someone more sadistic in Gensokyo though, and she's a queen of sunflowers."

"(Sunflowers?)" Kuma just shrugged off his thoughts and proceeded to deflect more of the spears coming in them. He cuts more of the steeled weapons using Snake Bite and slashes more of the red clothed soldiers. "Just a little more Cirno... Guh!"

"Kuma!" Cirno reacts to Kuma's pained gasp and runs over to his side for support. The red and gold soldiers soon notice the timely distraction of the blue fairy and all at one rushed together at her. "Tch... Icicle Frost Columns!" The blue fairy quickly made a barrage of ice hills around her and the brown haired boy, in order to protect them from the possible damage coming from the rush.

-Inside the shell-

"...Phew... That was close... Kuma?" Cirno shook Kuma a little who moved a little with a small grunt. "(He's badly damaged... Guess he isn't too much of a tank.)" The blue fairy neared her face at Kuma's and waited for a reaction, until Kuma's eyes sprang to life. Blue eyes met with yellow eyes and...

"Huh? What... WHA!?" ...Kuma suddenly jerked up in surprise of the range hitting both of their foreheads earning a small friendly fire damage. "Ouch... What the hell?"

"Good morning Kuma~" Cirno smiled at Kuma with sincere innocence at whatever she did a while ago.

"Ah... What are you doing getting your face so close like that!? You surprised me..." Kuma held his chest with his right hand before looking around the cavern made of ice. "Huh... What happened...!" The large booming sound at the other side surprised the duo that both jerked their muscles up.

"Hey! Break that ice or else you all will go to your punishment chamber in an instant!"

"B-But your Highness! The ice is too thick, and somehow the girl designed it that some shards will throw into us when we attack it!"

"I don't care about that! Just destroy it!"

Muffled voices came out on the other side as the two sat there with the loud noises near the wall. "Ah... So you made a shell for us. Well... That's a nice thinking..." The brown haired boy looked at Cirno who is listening closely to the wall. Her slightly tired breathing, her shoulders, her nape and her hair that sways a bit with her movements, suddenly Kuma's eyes has been noticing these things when he woke up. "(Crap... I shouldn't be really looking at Cirno like this...)"

"Hm...? What's wrong Kuma? You're face is really red, did one of the soldiers ignited you?" Cirno looked closely at the boy who blushed more with the close range. "You don't have any status debuff though... Is anything wrong with you?"

"Uhh... (Crap... Why did I get in to this situation again!? Damn... I did tell Alfredo that I would confess to Cirno but seriously, why did my feelings get to this point at THIS time!?)"

-Kuma's Replay: Now playing- rpy_002-

"YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THAT KUMA!?" Alfredo shouted out in the hallway of the KoB headquarters disturbing some of the players' personal businesses with each other.

"Shh! K-Keep your voice down Alfredo! I know it's surprising but..." Kuma looked down at his feet with a streak of red at his face, avoiding Alfredo's eyes. "I-I-I... I really... like... C-C-Cirno..."

Alfredo looked at his bestfriend, obviously very embarrassed at what he is sharing with him. Finally he grinned at Kuma and carried him off at his shoulders. "Well well... I think we need a bit of a manly talk here Kuma! We shall not let this opportunity PASS!"

-KoB Headquarters: Cafeteria-

"A-And that's the whole story..." Kuma plays with his fingers a bit after telling his 'story' to Kuma. He pulls down his bangs and looked at Alfredo grinning ear to ear through his hair. "W-What's so funny!?"

"Nothing much~ It's just so fun to look at you squirming at your own seat Kuma-chan~" Alfredo jested a little before Kuma grabbed him by the collar with his right arm ready to punch Alfredo's brains out of his skull. "Woah woah woah! WOAH! Calm down man I was joking... Juuust... Joking... Ehehe..."

"It isn't a funny joke then..."

Alfredo sweat dropped at the sudden anger spike of Kuma and fixed his collar back after Kuma let go of the cloth. "Oh well... Guess you want some advice on your little heartache then?" Kuma nodded at Alfredo and looked at him with a spark on his eyes. "Since you're very eager to know my dear Kuma you only need to do ONE thing... Just ONE thing."

"One... thing? What's that?" The brown haired boy's interest got more caught up with Alfredo and inched his head more attentively at the tall man.

"That is... To confess your feelings! Just say to her that you love her and shizzle then you'll know if you're good enough for her or not." Alfredo bluntly said to Kuma who was obviously stunned at the suggestion.

"B-B-But! ... W-What if she rejects me..." Kuma's gaze looked downed once more... Almost teary eyed.

"Well that is... Just bad luck I guess. You see in this world not everything goes your way, some will love you, some will not. It's not like those songs or fiction that goes 'oh look I confessed to her, she will love me too!' that's a big lie. It would take a large amount of luck to be like that even in a game like SAO." Alfredo pointed out to Kuma who is getting more and more dejected. "At least... If you get rejected, you're just a bit closer to her right? I mean... Cirno isn't the type to hold a hate for a simple confession, I'm sure she'll let you stay as a friend despite your feelings." The black haired man tried to cheer up Kuma even though he did discourage him for a long run.

"A-Alright... I guess Cirno is kind enough to not throw me away." Kuma stood up from his chair and stretched a bit of his shoulders and joint.

"Hm? You're going to tell her now? That's quite brave~"

"What!? No! The Guild master asked us to investigate a dungeon event somewhere. I'm just going out to meet up with Cirno so we can get going." Kuma flails his arms at his side like how anime characters do it.

"Alright alright hehe... Just keep what I said to you in mind okay?" Alfredo does a mocking salute to Kuma before he remembers something he should say. "Oh right... and keep your hormones for Cirno at bay okay? Nobody wants something bad to happen at night ehehe-"

*Smack*

-End of Kuma's Replay: rpy_002-

"Kuma? Are you alright!?" Cirno shook Kuma who was in a daze with his thoughts. "Get it together you idiot! They're nearly destroying the ice shell!"

Kuma just stared at Cirno with blank eyes still in deep thought when he finally snaps back and reacts violently once more, hitting their foreheads... again. "Huh... Ah... Cirno...?"

"Are you back now Kuma? You're spacing out too much this time, are you sure you're alright?" Cirno's face turn into an emotion of concern which fires up Kuma's blood on his cheeks once again. "Hey...? Kuma...?"

"Tch, you guys are taking way too long! Let me handle this you fools!"

"B-But your majesty...!"

"Let's see now if that can still survive with my Phenomena Sword eheheheee..."

"Geh... This is bad..." Cirno readies her sword as she prepares for a large impact on the other side of the shell. Until a hand grabs her arm from the side, Cirno's attention suddenly moved to Kuma who is looking at her with eyes that has something say. "K-Kuma...?"

The brown haired boy pulls back Cirno to their former position of facing each other and started talking in a very nervous voice. "Uhh... Cirno! I-I-I have s-s-something to tell you!"

"Hm? What is it?"

"Well...! Alfredo told me this was the best choice I could do so I can stop being too awkward around you sometimes and well I..." Kuma took a breath from his hurried voice and finally spoke from his pause. "I really li- ... no... Love you Cirno!"

...

Silence followed shortly...

...

"Uhh... Cirno?" Kuma called to the girl in front of him who was in a buffering mode due to the unexpected... confession to her. "Okay...? Crap... She's not responding... Cirno!?"

"Uhh... Oh. Kuma...?" Cirno blinked a couple of times before reacting to whatever Kuma said before to her that made her buffer. "Geh! Ah! A-About that..."

"Mmm... Right so do you...?" The brown-haired boy's yellow eyes look up to Cirno in a way a puppy would ask you food. Not much to an extent of a puppy though.

Cirno looked away from Kuma first before saying her response in a low voice. "I'm sorry Kuma... I don't see you that way..."

"Oh I see..."

"But you know..." The blue haired fairy grabbed Kuma by the wrist and forced him to kneel so that they could be on the same height and she inched her face closer to Kuma with a sparkle on her eyes. "I really... really like you as a friend! I wouldn't want anyone to dare harm you when you're defenceless, that's why... that's why..." Cirno hangs her head after the energy faded. "Uuu... Alfredo said saying that you like someone as a friend would hurt that person more so... I..."

Seeing his companion struggling to find the right words, Kuma just merely smiled at her honesty and pats her head to comfort her. "It's okay; I kinda expected it anyways..." Kuma scratches the back of his head and positions his sword for easy gripping. "Now then... Since that really lightened up my chest with a big bunch, shall we dance with the king boss now?"

"...Of course!" Cirno stood on the other side of the shell she made and readied her sword for the charge. The two glances at each other with a smile on their face that would give them the encouragement to fight this event. The smile of friendship it is.

-Outside the shell-

"K-K-King are you sure you should use the sword!? It's way too powerful, even King Oberon can't handle that!" A soldier shouted out to his king who merely just put the gigantic sword twice his size on his shoulder.

"What...? Do you think I'm as weak as the Oberon you're saying? Seriously, I'm a thousand league more capable than that old fart, or... Are you saying that I am not worthy of the Phenomena Sword just because I'm a kid!?" Puck glared at his soldier who froze in fear while frantically shaking his head side to side. "Good because a useless idiot like you won't understand my power."

A small coughing sound was heard by Puck on the other side of the hall and he turned his head in response to the sound. "Heh... *cough* to think you'll admit you're kid Puck... Are you admitting that King Oberon is more adult than you and you shouldn't have stolen the throne?" Motosume rises up from the rubble that broke her chains and leans weakly on the wall with blood tricking down her mouth.

"And who asked for your opinion scholar? Just be a good girl and shut the hell up at that side so you'll avoid any trouble okay?" The small sized king glares at the little girl and soon looks back to the shell with a mocking smile.

"As if I could avoid it now, I have already been in trouble thanks to my desire to bring back King Oberon's throne." Motosume chuckles softly as she loses her energy to stand. "I think you yourself... Knows... That he's... still... alive."

"Hmph..." Puck sticks the sword on the ground in front of him and several spike of rocks with magical inscriptions of them flies to the side of Motosume. With a small budge of Puck, the rocks grow vines on its side and wraps Motosume, encasing her on the tendrils quickly. "So what if he's still alive... It's not like he could steal the seat from me in his state." The kid looks around him with his soldier staring at him with a questioning look. "What are you people doing staring at me like that!? Did I order you guys to stop whatever you're doing and look at me!? Go surround the ice shell in this instant! I'm going to cut it in half."

With the sudden order of their king, the soldiers quickly moved around the shell with their spears pointed cautiously at it. Puck swings the sword above his head once again and with a cry of battle, he slashes Cirno's ice shell into half, releasing a cold mist from the inside. The soldiers soon fell into a state of panic and quickly look around to where the duo has gone while Puck maintains his composure and close his eyes. After a few moments, he quickly turns around his body and glared at the sword while he parries a certain cold sword coming from a blue fairy.

"Hah, as expected... I knew you would try to attack me from behind." Puck's smile turns into a smile of insanity and pushes away Cirno from the Phenomena Sword. "Guards! Attack her!"

"I don't think they can do that you idiot king. Take a look at your mobs sometimes." Cirno points at the blonde haired king and sees Kuma slashing them one by one, taking all of the hundreds of his army with his single one-handed sword. "Guess it's a one versus one on us. Now, shall we dance...? King... Puck?"

"Ahaha... AHAHAHAHAHA! Interesting... Most interesting day of my life! Fine... show me your power against the Phenomena Sword, child of the frozen atmosphere!" Puck lunged at Cirno who parried it with great ease; he soon withdrew his gigantic weapon and attacked Cirno again with a slash from her right side.

"(Child of the frozen atmosphere? That's a cool nickname.)" Cirno thought quietly as she parried the attack again and soon delivered some blows to Puck's body.

The two continued on their flurry of slashes, the sound of metal clashing fills in the air. Puck's smile continued to grow into a more insane one while Cirno focuses intently on their battle. "More... Let me see more!" Puck shouted as he drives the sword downward to Cirno who dodged it when she sidestepped. Unfortunately for Cirno, the Phenomena Sword glowed with a bright gold on its runic design and a large spike of rock lunged itself at Cirno reducing her HP by an fourth. "Ouch..."

"Eheheheee... Ahahahaha! Time to spice up things now!" Puck digs his sword again at the ground and directs multiple spikes of rocks toward Cirno who instantly jumped far away from the straight line it's travelling. "No... No! That won't do my child! You'll need to work harder than that!" The blonde kid laughed out maniacally as he sent a brown, magical slash from his sword at Cirno, halting her in her tracks and tumbles her towards a pile of rubble. "Oh by the way, that slash I just gave you it just hit your ankle nerve meaning, you can't move your legs for now~"

And true enough when Cirno looked at her now half HP a yellow electric sign showed up beside it and she cursed silently under her breath for the misfortune she has. "(If he attacks me now... It's over... if only... only a little more time I could try out 'that' which I tried out a couple of times when I'm alone at the forest.)"

As if receiving the mental message Cirno said, Kuma turns at Cirno and sees Puck approaching her slowly towing his gigantic sword behind him. He widens his eyes at the situation and slashes the remaining mobs quickly and dashes for Cirno. "Cirno!" He stands in front of Cirno and Puck in time as the king delivered his supposed to be final attack for Cirno. "Nnngh... So small yet so... strong!" Kuma struggled with his right arm parrying the gigantic sword one handed and quickly goes into his inventory, withdrawing a green crystal from it.

"That's..."

"Cirno... I won't let you die in here, not here, not today and not ever!" Kuma smashes the green crystal at his hand and soon Cirno's paralysis is gone from her health bar.

"You... GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU STINKING PILE OF GARBAGE!" Puck pushed Kuma away with his strength and the brown haired boy was flew away from their clash site into a nearby wall creating a large crater at the thick boundary as he slid down from it towards the ground. "Tch... I hate it when someone gets in my way... I HATE IT! Like that Oberon, he always denies my fun plans, he's always a killjoy! I HATE HIM I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT!"

Cirno stands up using her sword as a cane and smiles at Puck. "Well... I don't think I can solve that but here's one thing for sure..." As she spoke her legs started to run away from a distance against Puck. "...You better start running or else you won't chase me you slow poke!"

"Why you... Well anyways... A game of tag will be fun eheheheee..." Puck started to run after Cirno and started to laugh maniacally again with the 'fun' he is having. "Don't run away! Cirno!"

"(Tch... He's fast...)" Cirno mentally thought as she quickly browsed through her skills window while keeping in mind that there's a psychotic kid chasing her with a large sword that could be quite the playmates with Flandre if he exists in Gensokyo. "(Ah there...)" Cirno jumps a meter away from Puck and twirls on her heel in order to face him. "Now... Let's see what this can do!"

With a jump of a height, Puck swung his gigantic sword at Cirno who awaited him in a parrying pose. As soon as the two swords touched each other, a large cold mist came out from nowhere and the two were enveloped by it so thickly they couldn't see a thing but... Puck did hear something in it... Something that would spice up the match.

"Unique Skill... Dual Wielding (B) ... Sword Freezer."

A blast of air came out from the sword Cirno is holding and as the mist blew away from their sights, a familiar sword appears in Cirno's hands. A large translucent sword made of ice, one of her used spell cards in Gensokyo that hurts badly if you were hit by it on the head... Her Sword Freezer has come into the world of Aincrad. As the king child sees the new sword parrying his Phenomena Sword he quickly jumps away from Cirno with a cautious look spread on his face.

"Hmm...? I guess I should be careful from now on, a bigger sword means more danger~" Puck commented on Cirno's sword which he takes back as he saw the blue fairy stagger with the sword at her hand using it as a cane. "Hehe... or maybe not you can't handle the weight, can you now? I could finish you off more easier~"

"Heavy..." Cirno muttered between her pants as he struggled to get her energy up from holding her 'a now-the-same-size-as-the-Phenomena-Sword' weapon. "Tch... Why Yukari didn't make this thing a bit lighter? Even at Gensokyo this sword was a pain to make and carry." As she muttered those bits of personal opinion, her body reacted instinctively at the lunge Puck made. "No time to think I guess."

As Puck's laughter continues on again, Cirno swings her sword at Puck despite the heavy weight pressing her down to the ground. Sound of clashes fills the air again as the two fights for the dominance of the battle. Soon, Cirno couldn't handle all the weight of her sword and jumps away from Puck for a little bit.

"Hey hey... Don't tell me you're going to run again? Don't leave Puck behind now come on, this is the only time..." His smile grew larger again and his eyes look at Cirno with the insanity he has. "... I had this so much fun~" Puck once more lunged at the weak Cirno and clashes their swords once more with the laughing creep he has.

"(Creepy...)" Cirno pulls back her sword and parries another incoming blow once again. "(Should I try that? Maybe I could...)" The blue fairy pulls back from the clash and concentrated her mind once again making the Sword Freezer glow with a familiar blue glow.

"It's useless! Totally useless! You can't do anything with your weakened body, just give it up and DIE!" The blonde kid stuck his sword on the ground again making a large spike of rock fly towards Cirno and hit a bit of her hair.

"Hmph... You know those rocks you've been throwing around for now? They're quite annoying." Cirno lifts her sword over head and charged more of the blue glow her sword is emitting. "Let me give you a taste on how annoying you have been for the past while! Icicle Frost Columns!" The blue haired fairy struck he sword down to the ground in a familiar pose of summoning a large icicle from it.

"That spell? I told you it's useless! That thing is only good for making that ice shell of yours; it can't even reach out to me hyahahaha-!" Puck's laughter echoed throughout the whole place until a large icicle, similar to Cirno's Spellcard, launched itself from the ground piercing off his left ear cutting him off from his laughter. He screamed out in pain and fell to the ground on his knees as he cried from the excruciating torment he's experiencing.

"Hmph... Can't take a little ant's bite? Come on Puck, I'll play with you seriously now." Cirno smiled mockingly at the king who is still at the ground holding at his ear.

"You... bitch..." The blonde haired kid's eyes glared with anger at Cirno and stood up from the ground as his ear rematerialized from being cut off. "Get ready to die for defying my great power!" He lunged himself once again at Cirno who parries his attack with great ease. Clash after clash of the swords, giant icicles and titan rock spikes met each other and destroyed each pointy tip'. The two raged on again at their one versus one battle which is nearing on its end.

Cirno glanced at her almost gone HP and nodded to herself as she decides to end the battle with her somewhat regained energy. Gathering up her remaining ounces of power, she drives Sword Freezer once more to the ground and a large icicle proceeded to slash a bit of blood on Puck's left arm. She quickly sees this and releases a battle cry as she dashes towards the king and sweeps the Phenomena Sword off his hands using her sword's gigantic size. "Shi-""Time to end this... King of the greatest idiots. Unique Skill: Perfect Freeze!" The blue fairy slashed through the middle of Puck's chest, leaving a large deep wound on it.

"Gah! You!" Puck screamed out as he felt the pain from his wound, soon enough icicles started to creep out from the large cut and he was completely frozen. Although, unlike the Perfect Freeze she had when using Icicle Fall, the ice that covered Puck wasn't a thin sheet of ice like you would see on frozen meat at your refrigerator. What covered Puck was a very thick and large iceberg. "You... What do you think you will accomplish by killing me huh? That Oberon won't come back here anymore; the old man would never take back his throne that he already hated!"

"Hmm? I don't really care about that Oberon person you and Motosume has been muttering about." Cirno switched back her Sword Freezer into its original form, Icicle Fall, and proceeded on touching the ice covering Puck. "But you just hurt one... no... Two of my friends and that I shall never ever forgive!" With a final glare at Cirno's blue eyes and a final series of laughter from Puck, the blue fairy sheathed her sword back to its place and the iceberg covering the king shattered into a million pieces leaving nothing of the dungeon boss that was frozen in it. "Hmph... Finally... It's over... Ugh!" Cirno limply fell down to the ground in exhaustion; she glanced back to her HP bar and sees a red number 9 on it. She chuckled softly at the coincidental number it had and lied down on the floor.

...

-After 30 minutes- ... –Floor 70: Town-

"Hmm... Huh...?"

"Oh, you're awake. Welcome back Cirno."

"Ku...ma...?" Cirno blinked a few times before registering in her mind that she is leaning on Kuma's shoulder totally asleep. "Huh!? What happened!? Motosume, what happened to her?"

"Calm down Cirno, we just finished the dungeon and well... Motosume is... Well I guess she went back to the nature, where fairies originally came from." Kuma scratched the back of his head due to habit and smiled at Cirno.

"Went back... She... died?"

The blue haired girl looked at Kuma with eyes that are on the verge of tears. The boy just looked away for a moment before speaking up again. "Yeah she did. Sorry Cirno, guess we can't really save her from that point."

A silence passed through the two as the hundreds of people passed through them. Kuma looked up again and started to narrate something of a story to Cirno. "But I met someone there; I guess I could tell you what happened after you passed out." "Huh?"

-Kuma's Replay: Now playing- rpy_003-

"Cirno! Wake up!" Kuma shook his party member's body as she lay exhausted on the ground. "Damn it... If only I hadn't passed out after that crater I created."

"Kid... What happened to this place?" Upon hearing a deep voice from behind, Kuma looked behind him with a hand ready to grab the hilt of his sword. "Calm yourself, I'm bringing myself here in peace. Do you know what happened here?"

The brown haired boy raised his eyebrow at the hooded figure and relaxed a bit but still maintaining his guard. "My friend here just defeated the king of this place. Now who are you and why are you wearing such a suspicious outfit?"

"Defeated eh? Ha-ha... Guess Puck is still a kid." The hooded figure reached for the cover at his head and slid it down, revealing a pale but handsome man with a long black silky hair. "I'm sorry for raising your suspicions on me young one. I'm Oberon the former king of this place until my jester, Puck took over me by force. I just came here since I sensed an extraordinary surge of magic and indeed I was right by its source but sadly... I came in too late."

"Oberon... You're..."

"I just introduced myself right? Should I repeat it again?"

"Oh no your majesty... No need for that." Kuma sweat dropped at the poker face Oberon is hosting at him. "But... what do you mean by "too late"?"

Oberon looked at the large case of vines at the corner of the place and stared at it intently. "My greatest scholar, Motosume. The inheritor of the Great Magister Ten. She had a magic stored in her that could unleash havoc on the whole world, what's worse is that it can be released through a great surge of negative emotions." The man glanced back to Kuma and saw a giant sword lying behind him. He walked to the sword and raised it with his left arm. "I trained her to control her emotions or to at least feel nothing but happiness and joy but I guess it doesn't last too long." The sword reacted with Oberon and turned itself to a thin rapier surprising Kuma with the sudden feature it showed to the former king. "And this sword... I guess Puck didn't really learn how to control it before I disappeared. Oh Puck, you were a good kid back then, even when I was still trying to court Titania so why..."

"Umm... He said something about you denying all of his fun plans that is why he rebelled and took your throne away from you." Kuma suddenly spoke up but without the previous hostility he had with the man. Oberon smiled at Kuma and walked to the giant casing of vines. "Your majesty? What are you doing?"

"Guess I am becoming an old man and can't see any more of his 'humour'. Forgive me Puck if I offended you by it." Oberon held the rapier over his head and pointed the tip at the vines. "Make way."

The rocks on the side of the vines glowed with a bright gold of light and the vines started to untangle themselves on each other, revealing a small girl with 2 red jewels on her side. Oberon sees the jewel and smirks a little; he turned to Kuma and instructed him to come over his side. "I believe these Tears of a Fairy belong to you and your faint friend?" Oberon gave the two jewels to Kuma's hands as he picked them up from Motosume's side. After he gave them he proceeded to carry Motosume's body out of the case.

"Tears... of a Fairy?" Kuma stared questioningly at Oberon as he placed Motosume on the ground in line with the rapier form of the Phenomena Sword.

"A fairy cries when he or she still has regrets and he or she is in the brink of death. If you listen to that jewel's voice, you can hear my dear scholar's regrets before she died." Oberon picked up once again the Phenomena Sword and raises it above Motosume's body. "By the name of the legendary Phenomena Sword, the sword who is made and forged eons ago by the greatest of greatest blacksmithing fairies. I hereby swear on my royal name, Oberon, that Motosume... My dearest scholar and most fantastic student of all. May your shining soul return in peace to the nature, us embodiments of nature once belonged. As one of your companions, and for your other companions, I bid you thee farewell..."

As he finished the speech with a charismatic voice, Oberon struck the rapier down to Motosume's body and soon the little girl's body slowly turned into dust and flies off with the breeze of air passing through them, back to the forest. The former king slowly stood up and turned to Kuma who is still in awe of what he did. "You and your friend need to get out here right? Follow me young one, I shall lead the way."

"Y-Yes your majesty!"

"'Your majesty' eh? Guess my people really need me after all like what you said, Motosume."

-End of Kuma's Replay: rpy_003-

"So... These are..." Cirno looked at the red teardrop shaped jewel at her hand and clenches it back to her fist as she remembered the words that echoed through it when she put it near her ear.

"Sorry Cirno, Kuma-niisan. Sorry I dragged you two in this mess. I'm sorry you two have to fight for me, can you ever forgive me? Please don't hate me, I wish I could play with you two, just happily and freely even at the afterlife. So... Please... Stay alive for me and for all the people rooting for you two."

"Yeah her regrets... We're the one who are supposed to be saying sorry to her for not protecting her. Seriously... that girl." Kuma glanced at the jewel one last time before putting it back on his inventory. "Can you stand Cirno? We should go back, it's getting late."

Cirno nodded and took Kuma's outstretched hand for assistance. As Kuma activated the teleportation portal, Cirno muttered something near his ear. "Thank you... Kuma."

"Hm? For what?"

"For just being there... even as a friend."

"Don't mention it; I'll protect you till the day I die."

"Fufu... Yeah thanks again."

-Floor 55: Grandzam-

A light glowed in front of the statue as Kuma and Cirno warped in from Floor 70 to Floor 55. The two stumbled a bit by the sudden teleportation and quickly regained their balance.

"Huh... What's going on?" Kuma commented as a large ruckus is happening on the front gate of the guild, the newbies and the veterans chats with each other casually even the guild master Heathcliff is there. "Hmm... this is a rare sight. Oh hey, Alfredo! What's going on?"

"Woah Kuma, Cirno! You two are late, what the heck happened out there! We saw your names on the system notice, nice job on clearing the event dungeon what did you guys get? Phat lewts?" Alfredo started to question them what happened with a great cheery voice.

"Uhh... no important loots really but it's a real long story, we'll tell you later. What's happening here again?" Cirno grabbed Kuma's jacket and moved closer to him like a scared child.

"Oh right... Heeey everybody! Cirno and Kuma is baaaack!"

"They're back now? Well it's about damn time!"

"What do they think of themselves making Kirito and Asuna-san wait like that? Such a shame for newbies like them!"

"Hey now, no need to be hard. Welcome back you two!"

As the crowd of cheers continued to roar, a familiar gray haired person walks toward to Kuma and Cirno. "Welcome back, Kuma, Cirno. How did the dungeon go?"

"Heathcliff sir!" The two saluted at the guild master who is in his usual charismatic self. "The dungeon went nicely but... there are some problems."

"Problems? Well it can't be that important, Cirno...?" Heathcliff gently grabbed Cirno's arm and went to the center of the crowd. "I think it's time for you to meet... your guest."

"Guest?" Cirno looks at Heathcliff questioningly as she gets dragged by. She looks at the great smiles of everyone around her and hears some of the chats with a certain familiar name. She remembers again why she came and joined the guild and widens her eyes as she saw the familiar figure awaiting her at the center of the crowd. A green haired girl with a gleeful smile plastered on her face as she sees the blue haired fairy. "That's..."

"Cirno-chan!"

"...Dai...chan?"

-END!-


Author's Note:

Finally... it's... done! After 1 year of waiting it's finally done! T_T Thank you guys for encouraging me to finish this chapter. Honestly, I was seriously about to give up on this and just leave it dead when I saw your reviews and remarks. I seriously cannot thank you enough.

Well I wanted to give it up at first because first and foremost I'm not really born a writer... I'm more on drawing shizzle lol. And I really lost interest of SAO and a bit on Touhou since BlazBlue came on my psp. I think you'll find some BlazBlue reference somewhere there.

And this chapter really went into some troubles in the making, Senior high school life (yes it's THAT hectic), My dad doesn't really want me to stay up too late and my ideas only come at late night (there's a scientific explanation I swear) and some real life problems I can't say too sensitive lel this isn't a diary lol.

Anyways, if ever someone had a patience to wait THIS long. I'm truly grateful for you and I'm really sorry it took a year to update. And as my usual non self esteem statement, I wish for those 9/11/16 (no not the bombing) which are reviews/favourites/follows respectively, I wish in all of my true deep azure heart that this chapter satisfied your waiting. Now then onto to extra stage!


Extra Stage:

As the dusk drops down on Aincrad, Fortunam the author of Cirno Online quietly creeps into Guild Master Heathcliff's room and smiles greedily as she successfully infiltrated the said place.

[Fortunam] Hehe... Another piece of cake this time. I wonder what kind of Extra Stage I will get this time.

Fortunam quickly installs a thing with a lens on the corner of a room. She opens up her bag and brings out a grimoire within it. With a fast voice, she recites ars on the camera that made it completely invisible to the human eye.

[Fortunam] Good... It worked perfectly again.

[?] Oh my, what do we have here? A rat or a squirrel perhaps?

[Fortunam] W-W-Who's there!?

Fortunam quickly turned around and she sees a blonde woman with a menacing grin at her face. The woman opens up her eyes a bit into glaring slits and Fortunam freezes up in response to the scary sight.

[Yukari] Ara~ Author-san? What in the name of the Great Hakurei Barrier are you doing in this awful place?

[Fortunam] I... Uhh...

[Yukari] Fufu... You don't need to explain, I already know what you're doing.

[Fortunam] (Then why the heck did you ask me in the first place!?)

Uhh... Alright? Since you know what I'm doing I'm going to leave for now... BYE!

As the girl started to run to the door, a small gap appeared on her ankles. Tripping her nicely as she falls down with a great crash to the floor.

[Fortunam] THAT HURTS! WHAT THE HELL YUKARI!?

[Yukari] I should be the one raising my voice like that on you!

[Fortunam] Geh... Ah... Uhh...

[Yukari] *sigh* And here I am wondering how come Akihiko and my nights have been published through that awful piece of work you have. And this critter... Is the entire one at fault?

[Fortunam] AHHH! My camera that is worth 100 dollars! No wait, how can you even see that when I put an ars seal on it!?

[Yukari] Hmph... Pathetic magic tricks won't work on me Author-san. Let's see now, why don't I give you a bit of punishment?

Yukari smiles and laughs in a creepy way that Fortunam starts to sweat bullets on this 'punishment'.

[Fortunam] That... can't be good.

[Yukari] Oh well~ Time to you to go~ Bye Author-san have fun!

[Fortunam] No wait you damn old gap yokai- AHHHHHHH!

Fortunam's body falls through the gap Yukari made and her body continues to plummet on the Boundary... No wait this isn't BlazBlue. She just falls through the gap to a place full of blue and lights.

[Fortunam] Ouch... Where the hell?

[Alfredo] Oh? Author-san is finally here! Let's get started!

[Kuma] K-Kirito-san! You can roll the camera now!

[Kirito] Alright, we'll be on air in 3... 2... 1... Action!

[Fortunam] Just WHAT!?

-Cirno Online Special Extra Stage: Answer All of the FAQs Before You Die Author-san!-

A large hologram banner shows up over head as Silica and Lizbeth turned on the projector from the backside of the camera Kirito and Asuna is holding.

[Fortunam] No... Wait wait... Just what the hell is going on here!? And what's with the 'Before You Die Author-san' on the title huh!?

[Alfredo] Well... I dunno~

[Kuma] A-Author-san... Yukari-san asked that to be in the title so there's no point on arguing really.

[Fortunam] Oh for the love of- THAT DAMN OLD GAP YOKAI!

As she said those words a gap appeared in front of Fortunam and slapped her across the stage, face planting first to the camera.

-Please be on standby-

[Fortunam] Augh... My head...

[Alfredo] Hello everyone! To whatever time zone you may be! Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, welcome to Cirno Online Special Extra Stage: Answer All of the FAQs Before You Die Author-san!

[Fortunam] That's a real mouthful of a title.

[Kuma] I-In this Special Extra Stage. Author-san, Fortunam will answer all of the predictable questions that would appear on future or even recent events of Cirno Online!

[Alfredo] Correct Kuma! But first things first, Author-san, what do you feel about this Special?

[Fortunam] I don't know 'cause a certain blonde yokai just suddenly gapped the hell out of me here! And why are you all acting like hosts in a variety show!?

[Alfredo] A marvellous answer Author-san! I could say you're quite excited about this!

[Fortunam] HELL NO!

[Kuma] W-We shall start with question number 1! This was asked by your friend... Insi... piente?

[Fortunam] The bowl head? What does it say?

[Kuma] U-Uh... Why does Cirno is the only player in SAO that can use magic, don't you know magic is forbidden in Aincrad?

[Fortunam] G-Guh... A hard question. Well actually folks, when I first started Cirno Online I didn't really know how to explain that, I just wanted Cirno to be unique so I made her a player with special skills. So even up to now I still don't have a definite explanation but for now I think this can do.

A board shows up beside Fortunam's seat and she whips out a teaching staff.

[Fortunam] Since magic or mana is strictly forbidden by the Cardinal in the world of Aincrad, I thought maybe Cirno doesn't really use magic at all but instead that's her energy. Fairies, as explained by Touhou and Wikipedia, came from nature like trees, water and air that's why we have sylphs, undines etc. If Cirno came from nature like all fairies are then maybe her energy comes from nature itself. Since nature is such a large area we could say Cirno has a lot of energy and if we put into thought that Eirin did make Cirno look like a teenager or pre-adult that would play SAO, she would have more space for the energy to come into her. Thus technically speaking, Cirno would have enough energy from real life up to Aincrad that could last her a lot of time till she beats the game. Since her original body is in Gensokyo still, Yukari could just put icebergs beside her so she could replenish the ice energy lost from her when she uses her skills. Of course the... uhh... *cough* beautiful woman wouldn't bother too much for that. I think cold air is enough for Cirno's body.

The board returns back to where it belonged at Fortunam returns the staff to wherever she got it.

[Alfredo] Wonderfully explained! As expected of Author-san! Though you over used the word 'energy', better read a thesaurus or something. Next we shall move on to the next question by your friend Flaminica!

[Fortunam] So fast! I'm still catching up my breath!

[Alfredo] Why did you choose Cirno to be your main character? Isn't Youmu a more suitable choice due to her 'dual wielding'?

[Fortunam] Hey I love Cirno, isn't that enough?

[Alfredo] Nope.

[Kuma] N-Nope.

[Kirito] Nope.

[Asuna] Nope.

[Everyone else] Nope.

[Fortunam] You... alright I'll explain it. If you didn't read the introduction, I made Cirno Online first because it was a challenge by a FaceBook page named Cirno. Although, sadly it disbanded maybe due to her reasons and flamers. But anyways, even though it was just a prologue I guess I felt like I need to make a sequence that's why it reached up to this point.

[Kuma] I-I see! Author-san is a responsible writer too! She doesn't leave anyone hanging in the air by just a simple exhilarating prologue!

[Fortunam] Thanks Kuma but no... that's not really true.

[Kuma] N-Next question is... Oh. It's just a predicted question.

[Fortunam] Predicted? Who did that?

[Kuma] I-I have no idea... Anyways for question number 3. I have never seen that Pixie's Lair in SAO, just where did you get that thing?

[Fortunam] Oh this one... Well honestly, I didn't know how Cirno would meet Daiyousei while still following the canon SAO. If I just wait until Dai-chan can go to the guild herself then that would take YEARS of chapters, Sooo... I just hurried it along and made them meet through that. I wish it didn't offend some of the hardcore SAO fans out there, I'm terribly sorry.

[Alfredo] Hmm...? Guess you can't really blame her, doing a cross-over like this is quite hard. Or so some fellow cross-over writers say. For the next question! It's from... Kirito-san?

[Kirito] Oh yeah I wrote a question there, go do your best Author-san!

[Fortunam]... (This is not good.)

[Alfredo] *Cough* Well... Cirno can freeze things and can use ice skills at battle, isn't that a little too OP?

[Fortunam] I knew someone would ask this question...

[Kuma] I-I honestly think this is true too...

[Fortunam] Well for that I guess I nerfed it a bit. As I explained a while ago on the first question, she uses energy in the game instead of the usual mana. So Kuma, what do your body use when doing all of sorts of shizzle?

[Kuma] M-Me!? Uhh... I guess... Energy?

[Fortunam] Correct, a body uses energy to do all sorts of stuff from walking to dancing to et cetera et cetera. If Cirno's energy is ice itself then she would use a large amount of her ice stuff to make all of those skills, even Perfect Freeze where she just slashes them and the enemy gets frozen.

[Kuma] Oh I see... That's why she staggered when she made Sword Freezer; I also noticed her wings are gone when she cast that skill.

[Fortunam] (How can you know that when you're fainted that time?) Well... true. Sword Freezer is her most 'expensive' skill of all the unique skills I gave so it's probably not a good idea for her to spam it on long run battles.

[Alfredo] Well that was a good answer again! Thank you Author-san and next... huh?

[Kuma] W-What's wrong Alfredo? You're looking around the place.

[Alfredo] Hmm... I feel there's someone wanting to intrude us on the show.

[Fortunam] Who...?

Everybody looked around the studio for something that resembles nothing. After a few seconds a black hex gap showed up out of nowhere and a girl with white hair and black tips as her bangs cover her right eye jumped out of the gap.

[?] Hello, Fortunam-san.

[Fortunam] Oris!? What the fuck are you doing here!?

[Oris] That's quite mean for someone you know... I have a question delivered by my brother, is that alright my gentlemen?

[Alfredo] Woah... A rush question, of course beautiful one! We shall accept any questions as long as it's not about Author-san's underwear!

[Fortunam] WHAT!?

[Oris] Fufu... You're good; I'll give you a reward in return too.

As Oris gave Alfredo a plain looking white letter, she pulled him in and locked her lips with the black haired guy with everyone, including Fortunam, having stunned reactions at the sudden flag raise.

[Oris] Well then, I shall bid you farewell.

And she jumps out again using the gap...

[Fortunam] Damn that Oris... Are all of Judicio's relatives like that? Damn Casanovas.

[Kuma] Alfredo!? Alfredo, snap out of it!

Fortunam looked at the tall host being shaken by the brown haired boy. Unfortunately for Kuma, Alfredo won't snap out of his trance.

[Alfredo] Ah... Ah... asdsakdfhlkjgsdf...

[Kuma] Oh geez... Women are his only weakness as a tank. What are we going to do we're supposed to take turns on asking questions on you.

[Kirito] But the show must go on...!

[Asuna] Well... It IS quite a show that girl put up.

[Fortunam] *sigh* Then... Why don't you just read the question Kuma?

[Kuma] E-Eh!? Me!?

[Fortunam] I need to answer the question right? It's this *cough* show's agenda?

[Kuma] Y-You're... accepting your duties already?

[Fortunam] Well like hell I can do something about it so now stop yapping and read the damn letter. I bet it ain't good since it was Judicio that gave it.

[Kuma] O-Okay! A sudden question from a sudden girl! Umm... I thought you hate OC to canon character relationships why did you pair up Cirno with Kuma? ...Huh...? Author-san... this is...

As Kuma's words started to trail off, Fortunam quickly makes a dash to his hand and rips the letter off from him, shredding it to pieces like a poor paper will be to a chainsaw.

[Fortunam] Judicio... You fucking...

[Alfredo] WOAH! I just snapped out of it, what happened!? Kuma? Why you are teary eyed?

[Fortunam] Uhh...

[Kuma] You mean... You just made Cirno shut down me like that since you don't like those kinds of relationships? ;w;

[Kirito] Huh? You just went ahead and toyed with his feelings just like that Author-san? That's cruel, love is supposed to be blossomed not kept!

[Asuna] I agree with Kirito-kun on this Author-san. Why would you do such a thing!?

[Fortunam] Everybody shut the fuck up! I'm thinking!

[Kuma] I got bullied at school, got neglected by my own family and now this...? Why... Why is everyone so mean to me? Uwaaaaaaaah!

[Fortunam] Woah what's with all the crying!?

[Alfredo] Oh you made him cry you cruel girl you.

[Fortunam] You! You shut the hell up evil blood sucking pervert! You're just making things worse!

[Kirito] (Isn't this from Rachel Alucard's gag reel? Won't we get sued?)

[Fortunam] Argh! Dammit! Look Kuma it's just like this! First, I just really don't like OC x Canon Character relationships just like the black and white asshole said. Second, I'm quite tired of things that the party confesses love and instantly the other party likes him or her back.

[Kirito and Asuna] (So mean...)

[Fortunam] Third... Heh... You really need to fall for her, besides you're going to have some heroic shit going on at the later chapters if I ever have the time. So don't be like a little whiny baby and just keep it together alright?

[Kuma] T-That clears up a bit but... The way you still said it it's just too mean! Uwaaaaaaaah!

[Alfredo] Alright this is getting out of hand! We're flooding here!

Alfredo rushes to the camera and blocks the view out.

-Please be on standby...-

[Alfredo] And we're back ladies and gentlemen! I'm sorry for the little inconvenience but we have taken care of it.

[Asuna] For now, I'll be Kuma's replacement please be considerate for a newbie like me~

[Fortunam] ...I'm really getting tired of this. By the way, how did Judicio even know of this show, are we on TV?

[Alfredo] Uhh... well duh. Kirito-san said 'we're going on air' earlier right? So we're on air, at a special channel Yukari-san made just for you Author-san!

[Fortunam] WHAT!? Oh she's totally going to get it later.

[Asuna] Don't worry Author-san~ There is only a few questions left... Ready to handle it?

[Fortunam]... Fire away.

[Asuna] Next... A predicted question. Didn't you say fairies are immortal? Why did Motosume die instead of reviving?

[Fortunam] Well obviously it's because she's in a game. Heck even Cirno isn't immortal in-game but she's immortal in Gensokyo or the real world. If she dies by fry shizzle on her idiotic brain then she could fully revive at Gensokyo but for Motosume, sadly she's all gone...

[Alfredo] Hehe~ well I guess it's a bummer to have no immortal OP Cirno. Next up! Another predicted question and congratulations Author-san! It's the last one!

[Fortunam] It's about damn time! This extra stage has COMPLETELY walked off the maximum length of extra tidbits!

[Alfredo] Well here it goes! Are there more of the original dungeons with bosses having spell cards? We have Suwako and Marisa now which is next?

[Fortunam] Uhh... Fortunately for those who hated the original dungeons the last one will be the Pixie's Lair. I don't think I'll be able to finish it off if I still continued on writing those dungeons.

[Asuna] Well they're all just event dungeons oh well! We know it's a bit anti-climatic but its all done folks! Please tune in for the next Extra Stage Specials if there's going to be a next one~

[Fortunam] Fuck no! I won't be doing this again!

[Yukari] Oh? You still have another questioning to attend in another Continuum Shift Author-san~ Come I shall transport you.

Yukari suddenly jumps out of a gap surprising the living spirits out of Fortunam.

[Fortunam] Why you... AHHHHHH!

[Alfredo]...

[Asuna]...

[Everybody]...

[Alfredo] I guess that's all, see you in the next chapter!

The red curtains close off and the static of the television can be heard throughout those who are viewing the channel.

-Judicio's Manor-

[Oris] How did you like my entrance brother?

[Judicio] Fine I guess... She's fooling around in that world eh? Good for her.

-Extra Stage END- -Special Thanks to the special guests, Inisipiente, Flaminica, Judicio and Oris!-
