Mikoto: Asuna-san, as the #1 Heroine before you, I congratulate-

Index: barges in Hold it right there, shorthair! How did you get to become #1 in my series? The series that is named after me, Index!

Mikoto: What did you just say, silver sister? sparks flowing, immediately nullified Wait, why did it get chilly all of a sudden?

Miyuki: unleashes ice magic No fighting in here, please. Now then, Asuna-san, happy birthday. offers ice sculpted boutique

Asuna: Thanks, Miyuki-san.

Miyuki: points finger Just you wait. I will take your place, now that I have the backing of the Mahouka 10th anniversary campaign. Your love for Kirito-san may be strong, fire in her eyes but there is no one who loves their brother as much as me!

Asuna: I-Is that so? Good luck then, hehehe…

Sasha: steps in Get your brother complex out of here. It is quite obvious who will be at the top, and that is us! Right, Misha?

Misha: I-I suppose… though our time hasn't come yet…

Miyuki: Oh dear, but aren't you two in love with your ancestor?

Sasha: Uhmm… well… he's reincarnated in a different body… so it's not like it will cause any problems…

Asuna: Uhh… this is getting kinda weird, so I'll just get out of here-

Lena: Finally got you! hugs from behind Asuna, happy birthday!

Asuna: Wah, Milizé-san! T-Thanks…

Lena: Oh, you can just call me Lena. So anyways, I heard you've got a new movie coming out. I'm really excited for it!

Asuna: Umm… yeah, it's kinda embarrassing though, because it's my first days as the gamer 'Asuna' when I was a bit rambunctious. But… that was also the time I first met Kirito-kun, and it helped me get to where I am now.

Lena: I see…

Asuna: Lena, you found the love of your life as well, didn't you? How did it go?

Lena: Well, I kinda did, but only after some long setbacks from the both of us…

Asuna: Ahaha… well, good luck with your future anime endeavors-

?: Whoa, who is that butterfly? She's really pretty. Almost as beautiful as Miyuki-san.

?: I heard it's her birthday too, and the staff gave her a secret invitation.

?: Wow, really?

Miyuki: overhears What was that? unleashes ice magic again Who dares to threaten my rise to the top?

Lena: Wait, butterfly? sparkling eyes, looks behind Asuna's shoulder Isn't that… no way, it can't be…

Asuna: Lena, what's wrong?

Lena: Asuna, excuse me just a moment.

Asuna: Y-Yes…

Miyuki: Niflheim! almost freezes Hime

Hime: changes to Black Lotus Death By Barraging! cuts down the ice surrounding her

Miyuki: No way!

Hime: rushes to Miyuki, pointing her blade hand with a deadly glare Got anything to say, little girl?

Lena: runs over Kuroyuki-san!

Hime: Yes?

Lena: hugs her Happy birthday to you too!

Hime: changes back to her butterfly avatar T-Thank you… though you can just call me Hime if you want.

Lena: grabs hands Then you can call me Lena. But wow, the rumors were true. You have the spirit of a butterfly just like me.

Hime: Oh, you too?

Lena: Yeah, though I also caused a lot of bloodshed, both for my country and myself, earning the nickname 'Bloody Reina' in the process. I don't know if I really did the right thing guiding the Spearhead Squadron out of their prison.

Hime: I walked down a path of blood myself as 'Black Lotus'. But at the end of that path stood friends who accepted me with open arms, pitiful as I was. They were the ones who saved me. That's why you don't need to worry, Lena. The Spearhead Squadron are undoubtedly grateful to you, and will return to you when the time is right.

Lena: I sure hope so…

Asuna: Umm, girls…

Hime: By the way, what about that device on your neck?

Lena: Oh, this? This is called a Para-RAID. It allows us to communicate telepathically with each other. And it extends wirelessly up to a certain range.

Hime: Mhm, we can do that with the Neurolinker as well.

Lena: Neuro…linker?

Asuna: It's no good, they left me out.

Thirty minutes later

Lena: …They were just labelled pigs by my people. Pigs! Can you believe it?! They're human just like us, and they just called them pigs!

Hime: Actually, Haruyuki-kun was a pig too. Or rather… he had a pig avatar. It was forced on to him by some bullies. But don't worry, I chased them out of the school myself.

Lena: Wow… so aggressive…

Hime: Sometimes, you just need to force your way through.

Lena: …Right… having all sorts of flashbacks So, what happened after that? Did he change his avatar?

Hime: He still kept it… probably because I told him it was cute. In fact, I was planning to make a black pig avatar myself.

Lena: Ehehe… it's still a derogatory term here, so I'm surprised you were able to smooth-talk him like that.

Hime: He always had low self-esteem, which made him easy to convince. Though part of me fears that I'm too beautiful for him, that I'm the one pushing him back. That's the reason… we haven't been dating yet.

Lena: Eh? Is he really that broken?

Hime: Well, if his childhood friend couldn't do anything for him, I don't really know what I can do. He says I saved him from his pit of darkness, but… I wonder if that's really true.

Lena: No way! I always wondered what kind of monster Shin was to take all the negativity thrown at him without breaking, but it seems Haruyuki-kun is also a monster incapable of accepting another's honest feelings.

Hime: depressed

Lena: Oh, but don't feel bad, Hime. You definitely saved him if he's still at your side. You just need to wait for him a little longer.

Hime: I hope you're right…

Lena: Wait, you just mentioned a childhood friend, right?

Hime: Y-Yes…

Lena: Shin had a childhood friend as well, and she straight up abandoned him. She just started calling him a pig like the rest of them.

Hime: readies hand like a blade …Bring her to me.

Lena: Huh?

Hime: I want to give her a piece of my mind! I'll admit, I was jealous of Chiyuri-kun initially, but forsaking someone who once respected you is absolutely unforgivable!

Lena: D-Don't worry, Annette reconciled with him now… sorta…

Hime: puts down blade hand …Alright then… if you say so…

They chatted on for almost an hour, completely forgetting about the main guest.
