The people that they managed to protect were indeed grateful, they provided them with a meal and nice cup of juice. It was only that the kids in the orphanage probably at what they gave them for the entire day. The kids were fed, but not to what you might say not suffering from hunger at the end of the day. The nun's name was Silvia, and she was also happy that those thugs had not done something horrible to the kids or her for that matter. Kirito did not like the way things were, and Silvia explained that any money they received the "Army" would just jump at the chance to take it, with the excuse of taxes. "But don't they have an exclusive dungeon underneath their headquarters?" asked Asuna. Silvia looked surprised that someone from another floor knew that. "That is common knowledge here on this floor, but no body tells anyone in higher floors. They don't want the orange guilds or the Knights of the Blood Oath learning about it. If the orange guilds knew they would be constantly attacked to steal things from them. But if the knights knew they would demand free access for everyone. This would severely limit their income, and their officers like their creature comforts." Silvia explained. "They are responsible of managing the prison. What comforts are we talking about?" asked Yui. Kirito told his daughter to go outside and play with the kids, but to make sure to protect them. Yui was happy to go out and play. "Sure thing, daddy. I will keep the meanies away!"
As they where left to talk about it, Silvia blushed as she started to talk to them. "The management of the prison is a lie. They use the prisoner as slave labor to get resources from the dungeon beneath their headquarters. This tends to cause the prisoners deaths, but they don't care. Desperate players will do a lot things that they normally wouldn't out of sheer hunger. The comfort that the officers enjoy is that they use the extra resources to make their living quarters extremely nice, and the shameful part they hire starving players to service them sexually. Some of the officers have their own private harem, made possible by the heavy taxes."
A young woman walking towards them from the entrance to the orphanage heard it all. "I would normally would like to say that is not true, but even I know that is true. The days of the Aincrad Liberation Front being a noble minded guild all went down hill when a player named Kibao joined us. My name is Yulier one of the officers, I would like to talk to the people responsible for the incident that happened with our men earlier." Kirito stood up and started to hold his blades. "Now there is no need for that. I am not hear to fight. Far from it I came here to thank you for your actions. I also find myself in need of powerful players for a personal matter."
Yui appeared running towards them, almost breathing hard. "Daddy, some lady sneaked into the church. I was having fun with the other kids. I am sorry, Daddy." Kirito relaxed and walked over to her, patting her head he told her that it was alright. "My name is Kirito, this is my lovely daughter Yui, and the love of my life who is currently sitting is Asuna. I believe you already know Silvia the matron of this orphanage." Kirito took a nearby chair and allowed her to sit first then he sat down. She thanked him. "I would like to ask you how is it that you are so powerful and what is your guild so I may thank your guild master." Kirito looked at Asuna and she nodded her head. "I am head of the combat divison, and my beloved Asuna is the vice commander." They both deactivated their bracelets. For the first time she saw what he was going to grab. The two swords were impressive. "As you might know from our uniform we are from the Knights of the Blood Oath. Here on orders to investigate the possible player abuse on this floor, and the existence of the dungeon beneath your headquarters." Yulier began to laugh really hard, now it made perfect sense. "It was only time before your guild found out about it. That idiot Kibaou believed that he was keeping your guild and others in the dark." Asuna simply told her that the truth always comes out eventually. "You can not hide the sun with your thumb after all." Kirito mentioned and made Yui laugh.
"This makes matter much easier, indeed I want you to expose the existence of the dungeon, and what is happening in the prison. The matter however is more severe and personal. The guild master Thinker is trapped in the very dungeon you want to know about." Asuna looked surprised, "Thinker was always a kind, trusting and honorable person. Kibao arranged for them to meet in private in the dungeon. He requested for him to go unarmed as a show of good faith. But he left him down there alone, and is now pushing to take over the position of guild master. You heard and seen what happened with him as an officer can you imagine the damage he could cause as it's leader?" Yui looked at her more closely. "You should tell my daddy and mommy everything. Crying would help too." Asuna asked her daughter what she meant then she told her that Yulier was trying very hard not to cry. Yulier stopped trying and tears that had been held back began to flow. "The guild master is my husband. He had been trapped there for so long with no food, water, surrounded by monsters. Some of the others want to give up looking but I can't! I feel like my life is a living hell thinking on the horrors my beloved is suffering and I can't do a thing about it! Please you two are strong, please I beg you help me save the man I love!" The parents could not help but to feel this was a trap. They were willing to believe anything was possible to keep something so damaging a secret. Yui told her mommy that it was alright, she could tell that Yulier was very distressed by the condition of her missing husband. Asuna believed her daughter she was a consular after all.
"Well today is obviously too late for us to go, but early in the morning we will go with you to the dungeon. Now we need to return to our room and get things ready for a rescue mission as well." The family left as they came in. Her daddy and mommy turned on the bracelet before leaving the room. Yulier and Silvia talked about what they had endured by the actions of Kibao and his thugs. The couple was getting some healing items ready, emergency rations, and some teleport crystals ready. They had to be ready for anything. "Kirito what do you think will happen when this info gets to the council?" Kirito laying down on the bed looked at the ceiling. "My guess is that the big guild leaders will meet with the council. They will more than likely call for either the end to the "Army" and have the moral members join an existing guild. The management of the prison would be granted to someone everyone trusted, but strong enough to prevent break outs." Asuna took her place next to Kirito, turning to her side she embraced him. "We will deal with it when it happens, for now lets sleep. We have a long day ahead of us."
The very next morning the family was greeted by Yulier. She asked if they would want to leave Yui with Silvia it was a dangerous place they were going to after all. Both parents laughed at the notion. "You might rethink that after you see what my little girl can do! She is a warrior and you will see that for yourself." They walked to a secret entrance to the dungeon and saw a room full of really tough monsters. Much tougher than she believed she was able to kill. "Alright Yui, this should be a nice warm-up for you. Go on and enjoy it, next one is mommy and then mine!" Yulier was going to say something to stop her, but she saw the sheer look of joy on Yui's face. Yulier watched as Yui alone cleared an entire room full of monsters. "See what I mean, and that was nothing." Kirito told Yulier. He was right if this was nothing, then rescuing her beloved husband would be a snap. "Kirito, Yui how many times do I have to tell you not to underestimate the enemy?" Asuna asked as she was worried about her family. "One more time than the last time we went to the dungeon. Relax, Asuna. We now what we are doing. It was just to ease Yulier's worries after all." Asuna understood, but she did not want to be caught unaware of a possible trap.
