The 70th floor was tough, and the exploration of the floor was going slow. They had worked at it for nearly a whole week, when the thing that they did not even considered happen. Kirito stomach gave an unmistakeable growl. Even monster began to snicker at the sound. "Guess we need to take a lunch break, or you might scare the monsters away!" Asuna joked and Kirito frowned, "It is not my fault, I haven't eaten anything in 5 days." Kirito said indignantly. Asuna could hardly believe it, "You idiot, don't you pack a lunch?" Kirito took one look at her and asked, "Why? In case I need charcoal for the camp fire. My cooking skills might kill me first!"

"Well I guess it can't be helped, but take your gloves off." They both sat down, and he picked something from the inventory. A basket appeared, "I knew something like this would happen so I packed a light lunch." She handed him a sandwich. He began eating his sandwich and wondered why did this taste so familiar. Last person he once shared a meal with was Velvet. He frowned at the memory on how they broke up. "What you don't like the taste or what?"

Kirito looked at her, "No, the lunch is delicious. Just some bad memories of someone who hurt me pretty bad." Sachi and the other former Black Cats had told her after a floor boss meeting what their guild had done to Kirito. "Memories of the Black Cats?" She asked him, he simply answered, "I don't waste my time remembering them. No, it was someone very close and it cut much deeper."

Kirito finished his lunch and waited on Asuna, "Kirito why do you wear such light armor? don't you have something to protect you better?" Kirito looked at her, "My blacksmith skills are pretty good these days, but I can't finish the gear I want. The black armor I want use 10 onyx crystal ingots and 10 shadow wolf pelts. I have the pelts, but the crystal has an expiration time of a few hours in open air. I still need the chest, helm, and gauntlets. I can finish one, but the onyx crystal ingots would simply disappear by the time I finish it. It took me 2 months to collect, that would be such a waste."

Asuna looked at him, "Why not ask a friend to help or better yet. Join my guild. We have blacksmiths that would be glad to help if you did." Kirito looked at her not even smiling, "Agil could probably help me, and for the last time. I am not joining a guild if I can help it. I do not need the dead weight and having them be another Black Cat incident." Kirito got up and began walking away. The thing the that guild did to him must have hurt more than he is letting on.

She put the basket in the inventory and walked fast behind him. The floor boss room was there for all to see. He pushed the door and saw a huge monster with horns and golden eyes. The golden eyed fiend was the monsters title. Kirito could hardly contain his surprise. He simply ran towards the monster and the fiend ran towards him once he saw who it was. They both gave a huge growl, Asuna believed that they would begin the floor boss fight. But what idiot attacks a boss alone like that. Oh wait this is Kirito she was with. She got her rapier ready to back him up.

What Asuna did not expect happened, The monster picked Kirito up and they both hugged. What the growls were was clear to every monster 20 feet way to understand. The fiend shouted son and Kirito said dad. After such a long time he was meeting his monster father, and his father was seeing his long lost son. The worry about his eldest son was clear.

"Son why do you look like a puny invader? Where have you been you know you left without even saying good bye to the King and your subordinates. Your mom has been worried sick about you!" Kirito looked at his dad and smiled, "I had no choice. I was forced into this form after the Beta you know I told you about that! But how can I get that invader to understand what we are saying. Look at her she is pretty freaked out." Korito looked at the female invader. "I am surprised that you haven't marked her, she is your mate right son?" He looked at his father blushing,"No. She is just a friend. You know as well as I do what happened with my mate long ago!" Korito was laughing. "Just tell her to come over here. I will bite her and she will learn the language just like I did to you when you were a baby." He still remembered the pain, but there was no other way.

"Asuma put that rapier away and let this guy bite you!" Asuna was looking at Kirito after he said that. The fiend had hugged him and now he wanted her to let it bite her. "Are you out of your mind! Why would I let that thing eat me?" Korito was heard snickering, "Boy she reminds me how your mom was when we started dating." Kirito simply could not believe his dad would take the situation so lightly. "Trust me, this guy will not kill you. You will understand him and most monsters if you do it, so come on and put out your hand. "Hope mom doesn't get mad." Kirito was telling him. "Ah, don't worry so much she would do it too if she saw her and you together!"

Asuna simply walked over to the fiend and held her hand out. It happened in an instant, but the pain took hours to stop. "So young lady, I take it you understand me?" Asuna gave a nod. "My name is Korito, the boss for this floor. You already know my eldest son Kirito. Good thing your mom and brother are not here. My wife would want you to mate this pretty young lady, and my youngest son would be absolutely jealous of you." The surprised look on her face was priceless.

The trio sat down on the boss room floor, "So let me get this straight, you are his son. You understood what monsters were saying all along. And there is a whole other Aincrad besides the one we know off. You idiot! Why did you not tell this to anyone?" Korito interrupted, "Because as captain of the royal guard Kirito has taken a bow of secrecy. He can only tell you because I gave you that bite. I pretty much made you an honorary member of our clan. Which reminds me Kirito why are you wearing that junk and not your Shadow wolf plate armor?" Kirito looked at his father with a blush of embarrassment. When the Beta was over I lost my official captain uniform. I been trying to remake it, but you know how tough that is using invader tools." Korito laughed, "Is that all? You did not lose anything. I have it, and your blades too. I am pretty sure twin fangs will be happy to be held by you again." Korito simply took a rather large box, with a intricate symbol on it. He touched it and the items can to lay on the surface of the floor. As he began to picked them up and placing them he began to remember all his missing skills. Trap making, hiding, detection, command, and lastly the eye of the beast.

He finished putting all the armor and weapons. Asuma could hardly believe this was the same Kirito he looked absolutely stunning, regal and immensely over powering. "Now that is what my son should look like. Now how about we have our floor boss fight so this old man can retire and then we can take your pretty young girlfriend to meet your family and see where you grew up." Kirito did not like the teasing tone of his father.

With this his skills back to what they were he could finish this fight without even trying to hard. "Sure thing dad, get ready to retire. Today is the last day for you to be floor boss!"
