The Beautiful Blacksmith

"Kiiri, that was weird." I said, as we walked away from the sight.

"I guess." Kirito replied, nodding.

In a shop, a pink haired girl with freckles worked on a sword. "There you go, all done." She put the sword down and looked to her friend Asuna. She put the rapier in a sheath, and Asuna came and took it. "Thanks Liz, you're the best!" Asuna said to her friend, who was now identified as Liz.

"Sure, any time." Liz said, and looked the other way before looking back at Asuna. "Hey! Aren't you supposed to be out hunting with the guilds today?"

"Yeah, I had to take the day off 'cause I, sorta have this meeting with someone." Asuna smiled nervously, making Liz have a shot gasp.

"Ohhh." Liz looked closer, and saw a pair of purple earring that Asuna was wearing. Mischievously smiling and rubbing her chin. "I bet it's a little meeting." Liz nudged her friend.

"No, it's not like that." Asuna responded. The bell rang, and Liz looked upstairs and Asuna looked at Liz, worriedly. "I have to get going." Asuna said and ran off.

"I bet he must be pretty special, whoever he is." Liz said. Asuna turned back.

"Huh, did you say something?" Asuna asked, looking at Liz. Liz shook her head.

"No, get going. Its rude to keep your date waiting!" She teased.

"It's not like that, I-, oh whatever, see you!" Asuna waved, and Liz waved back. Liz looked at a picture.

"I wonder if I'll ever find someone special."

Lazily, me and Kirito walked into a shop. A blacksmith's shop. It was titled Lisbeth's Blacksmith Shop! We decided to try it out, cause I need a new weapon, and apparently Kirito need one rivaling Elucidator's stats. As we walked in, a voice said, "Welcome to Lisbeth's blacksmith shop!" Kirito was currently looking at some swords while I stared at the structure of the place. Wow, it had some really good architecture…..WHAT! When did I like architecture! Shaking my head furiously, I heard Kirito greet who was presumably Lisbeth. I looked at Lisbeth. She had fluffy pink hair that reminded me of cotton candy, with dark pink eyes. She used a white hairpin to keep the bangs from covering her face. She wore a dark red top with puffed sleeves, and a flared skirt of the same colour as well as a pure white apron. She also had a ribbon.

"I was wondering if you custom orders?" Kirito asked Lisbeth, as I walked beside him and nodded.

They don't look like they have much money… Lisbeth looked at the two again. "Yeah I can, but the thing is, metal prices are kinda high these days." Did she think we didn't have money or something! Was coursing through my mind, at extremely rapid paces.

"Oh, well I'm not worried about the cost, I just want the best sword you can make as soon as possible." Kirito said. I quickly cut in.

"I want the best sword you can make, he wants second as soon as possible." Kirito sighed.

"I make a lot of swords, if you have anything of the quality of swords, I can make it." Lisbeth said.

"Uh, sure, one sec." Kirito pulled out his Elucidator. "I'm looking for one of this quality, or better than this." Kirito placed the sword in her hands She almost dropped it because of its weight.

"An Elucidator! This is the snarliest magic sword a person can get from a monster drop!" Lisbeth exclaimed.

"What do you think?" Kirito asked, while I waited for my sword to be evaluated. Lisbeth got a light sword and gave it to Kirito.

"How about this It's the best sword I ever made." She said. Kirito took a few swings.

"I don't know, it's kind of light." Kirito said.

"Well, it should be. I used a speed-type metal to forge it." Lisbeth said, smiling. I used speed-type swords. Though, that one is kind of low.

"I'd like to test it, if that's cool."

"Test it how?"

"You know, its durability." Kirito got his sword and put it on Lisbeth's.

"What the heck are you doing?! If you break your sword it's not my fault." Lisbeth said. Kirito raised Lisbeth' sword and charged a sword skill.

"If it breaks, than that's too bad!" He said as Lisbeth's sword broke off his Elucidator. I sighed. Lisbeth screamed, and took the sword from Kirito.

"You broke my…masterpiece." Lisbeth said as the sword dissolved into blue-green particles. Lisbeth grabbed Kirito by the collar of his jacket, and I took a step back. "What the hell were you thinking?!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't think yours was going to break so easily, honest!" Kirito replied, and I watched the scene, amused.

"Are you saying my sword, my masterpiece of a sword, is lamer than you thought?!" I need popcorn. I'm concealing my laughter over here.

"Yeaah, something like that." Kirito looked away.

"I'll have you know for your information, If I had the right materials, I could make a buttload of swords that shatter yours into a million little pieces, you got that?"

"Oh yeah? That sounds like the kind of sword I'm looking for, as long as it can shatter mine." Lisbeth's face was turning pink out of anger.

"Okay smartypants, but you have to help me make it every step of the way!"

"Seriously?"

"And we'll start by getting the metal for it."

"I think I can handle that part by myself. I'd rather not have you slow me down." Pretty cocky, Kirito. I wonder when I can intervene.

"Don't you dare insult me. Believe it or not, I am an expert mace user!" Nice retort! Kirito 5, Lisbeth 1!

"Suit yourself. So, where do we find the metal?" Kirito said, walking to pick up his Elucidator.

"Floor fifty five on the west district. There's a dragon there that eats crystals. According to the legends, there is a rare metal."

Kirito muttered something. "Yeah, I should go alone."

"ANND, they say in order to get the metal, you need to bring a master smith along. Still think going alone is a good idea?"

"Fine. Just keep quiet and stay out of the way."

"Keep quiet and what-!" Lisbeth was cut off by Kirito.

"By the way, my name is Kirito." Kirito put a hand out. "Looks like we're a party until we get that sword." Lisbeth crossed her arms and looked away.

"Yeah, and whatever Kirito."

"Wow, if you're going to be like that, than I can roll with it." Kirito replied. "Liiiiiiisbeth!" I decied I shall introduce myself now.

"I'm Daige." I introduced and Lisbeth turned to me, shocked, but she replaced it with a smile. Now that I took it in, she seemed to have, angelic features. She seemed so beautiful.

"And your beautiful."
