GGO
Starter Area

Shin has reappeared back at the area. Sinon was already logged out, out of frustration. Shin looked around the area then stopped hue gaze at Mana. He decided to approach her. On the way, he accidentally looked aside and saw the glowing red eyes of Death Gun in the crowd. His eyes widen at that and he began to curse himself in his mind.
'Kuso, I was too careless and now he knew my identity. But I didn't have other choice. The last shot that Shino-chan performed was very dangerous. Even if I said that I could see where the bullet was heading, didn't mean that I could actually dodge that shot. That's why the only way to deflect that shot was to perform Doryusen. PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II, what a fearsome weapon. Of I was a lesser player, there was no way I could have deflect that shot. I need to think of the plan immediately. Or else's life will be forfeit'
Mana saw that Shin approach her and decided to congratulate him.
"Congratulations on being the winner of the F-block Shin-san" said Mana.
"Thanks. But I am here for a favor"
"Well, what can I help you?"
"You are a mercenary. So you must know the place where you could order the custom weapon right?" asked Shin.
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"I want order a new weapon. Could you please took me to the place where you can order the custom weapon?" said Shin.
"Ok, I will show you the way. But only of you promised that we will fight in the main tournament one-on-one" said Mana smirking sexily.
"I know you would say something like that. Ok, I accept" said Shin smiling at her.
With that Shin and Mana walked out of the Governor General office.

Luke's Super Weapon-shop

Shin and Mana stopped at the door that read 'Luke's Super Weapon-shop'. Shin looked at the panel and sweat dropped anime style. Mana just grinned at him and said.
"Yeah. The owner of this shop is pretty self conscious. But he can make a very high quality weapons"
With that they came inside. Shin looked at the seller cabin and saw a boy his age with brown hair, a pony tail at his back. He wore a white shirt and a black cape over it and blue pants(Luke Ainsworth from Seiken no Blacksmith).
"Yo, Luke. I've brought you a new client here" greeted Mana and pointed her finger behind at Shin.
"Oh, Mana. Long time no see. A new client huh? So what do you need, dear customer?" Luke greeted Mana then turned to Shin to ask him a question.
Shin approached the cabin, took out his Kagemitsu G4 and said.
"I'd like for you to recreate this Kagemitsu G4 to a katana with sheath. The sharp edge of the blade will be made of photon beam. Can you do it? The price didn't matter. I will pay you any price"
Luke took the photon sword and inspect it for a while. Then he turned to Shin and replied.
"That won't be a problem. Though the cost will be pretty high, as this a custom made. But you really surprised me. Why do you using a sword in GGO?"
Shin looked at Luke and said.
"Well, let's just say I wield a sword better than a gun. And I have my own reason to log in GGO. Anyway it's a pleasure to do business with you Luke-san" said Shin and bowed his head.
"Me too. The sword will be ready by tomorrow. You participate in BoB right?"
Shin just nodded his head.
"I will try to deliver it to you in time"
"Thank you very much"
With that Shin and Mana left the place. On the way, Shin decided to ask Mana a favor.
"Mana-san, I want to face Death Gun one-on-one. If by some chance, Sinon decided to interfere. I want you to..." said Shin then paused a little to close his eyes. He sighed and decided to finish the sentence.
"Kill her"
Mana widen her eyes at that and decided to ask.
"Why would you like for me to kill her? Doesn't she important to you? I thought that you will try to protect her"
"It's because she is important to me, that I need her to stay away from that battle. Death Gun has already found out about my identity. That's why I want you to promise me that if she decided to intervene. Kill her. I wouldn't be able to do it myself that's why I am asking you to do that for me. And when I kill Death Gun, we will have a match as I promised" explained Shin his reason.
Mama just looked at Shin for a while then said.
"Ok, if that's what you must do to protect her then I will help you. But I won't forgive you, if you by some chance killed by Death Gun"
"I promised that I will have a match with you right? I never go back on my words. Well, I'll log out now. See you tomorrow, Mana-san" said Shin and pressed the logged out button.

Hospital

Naruto opened his eyes and saw a very strange scene in front if him. The nurse Aki's head was on his bare chest and she was drooling. Naruto sweat dropped but also blushing madly as her chest moved up and down. Naruto shook his head to clear his head. That moment Aki decided to wake up and rubbing her eyes. She yawned and looked sleepily to Naruto.
"Oh, Naruto-kun. You just returned right?"
Naruto just nodded his head dumbly.
"Forgive me for sleeping in your chest. Just that I was very tired and bored when waiting for you to return, so I decided to take a nap. I touched your chest and found it so comfortable, so I decided to sleep on it" said Aki smiling brightly and stuck her tongue out playfully.
Naruto just sigh at that. Then he began to pale remembered that he has to girlfriends and if they knew what is going with him and Aki, then his life is already forfeit, before Death Gun can shoots at him.
"Ehm, Aki-san. I'd like to return home for a while" said Naruto scratching his head.
"Ok. Just return here in time ok?" said Aki and poking his bare chest. Naruto covered his chest on instinct and sigh.
Yuuki Residence.
Naruto just step in the Yuuki residence. He went to the kitchen, when he smelled the delicious smell. He went inside and saw Asuna was cooking while humming.
"I am home nee-chan" said Naruto behind Asuna
Asuna turned around and surprised to see Naruto there.
"Naruto? When did you return? So how is the investigation?"
"It's ok for now. But I am pretty hungry now. I'd like to taste your awesome cooking" said Naruto rubbing his stomach and raised his thump up grinning.
Asuna smiled at that and said.
"Hai, hai. Wait for a minute"
Then Asuna brought the pan of paella to the table. Naruto began to drool hungrily. Asuna just smirked at that.
"Here. Eat as much as you can"
"Itadakimasu!" said Naruto and dig in.
Asuna just looked at Naruto eating his food and smiled. Suddenly, she decided to ask.
"Ne, Naruto. If you are the participant of the BoB. Why didn't I see your name in the list?"
Naruto swallowed and answered.
"That's cause I didn't use the real name nee-chan. Can you guess who am I in the list?"
Naruto asked with a smirk in his face.
Asuna took out the magazine and began to look into it. She looked at the list for a while and didn't has any idea what his name could be. Then she remembered all the Shinigami posters in his room. She smirked and pointed at the name 'Shin'.
Naruto blinked then sigh.
"You've got me now"
Asuna grinning and shows the victory sign to Naruto's face.
"Thank you for the food. I will be in my room. I need to make something's clear" said Naruto and left the kitchen.
Asuna looked at Naruto's back worriedly. He definitely hides something dangerous from her. But she didn't know what. She knew Kirito know something, but he refused to tell her.
"Whatever you are doing. Please, be careful Naruto"

Naruto's room

Naruto decided to check the official web of GGO to find the rare weapons list. He found the list of all the Roman numerals weapons. Suddenly, he stopped at the
'Metamaterial Optical Camouflage Mantle'. The picture of the cloak looked exactly like the one Death Gun wore, which got Naruto's attention. He began to read the description.
"Metamaterial Optical Camouflage Mantle has the ability to hide the user from both players and monsters by refracting the light that shines on its surface and it is said to be the ultimate camouflage ability, which only the high-level bosses monsters have. The ability also allows the user to cloak their weapon after preparing it, making it possible for the user to shoot while invisible. Additionally, the cloak prevents the user from being detected by the Satelite Scan during BoB. The ability of the mantle also works within towns"
The last phrase makes Naruto to thought even more. Then his eyes widen in realization.
"First, the abnormal timing of the victims, which are the same as the time the avatars were shot...Second, the invisible mantle that can be used even within towns... Third, all the victims didn't died by fried brain, but by the heart attack..."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and began to deduce.
"So that's it! Death Gun is actually not one person, but may be two or even more person. He used his mantle to sneak behind the victims to find out about their addresses. Then he informed to his accomplices so that they can get to the victims in the real world. The Death Gun in game will make a signal sign for the accomplices IRL to act. The accomplices will inject the drug to the victim, which caused the heart attack. That's the secret of the phantom bullet. The secret of killing a person through the game, of Death Gun"
Then Naruto began to think even further.
"But I am his main target. And he already knew my identity. Therefore he will definitely find out about my location, with or without the information in panel terminal. I need to act now"
With that Naruto began to call Kikouka
"Kikuoka-san. I'd like to change my research location to my old house... Yeah, I can't tell you everything. But I can tell you that I've expose the secret of killing through the game of Death Gun... I will fill in the report... Thank you very much"
Naruto called Kirito next.
"Oh, Naruto. You've already returned from the GGO! So how did things there?" asked Kirito through the phone.
"Good to hear you as well, Kirito. I've managed to find out the secret of Death Gun. Though I did blew my cover already. You know my avatar's name in GGO right?" said Naruto.
"What? You've already blown your cover? Yeah? I know your name. There is not much players that used a sword and can caused the earthen debris. So what are you gonna do now" asked Kirito seriously.
"Listen carefully, Kirito. This operation is operation may sound ridiculous, but it will definitely work. I will tell you one thing though. In this operation, my whole life will be depending on you. If you are even a second late, the operation will fail and I will die instantly" said Naruto in a very serious voice.
Kirito widen his eyes in the other side and began to ask carefully.
"W-what kind of operation that has such a high risk to your life?"
"Nothing will happen to me if the plan will succeed. Here is the plan..." said Naruto and began to inform Kirito about his plan.
