Chapter 2
It's already been a month, and I still can't look him directly in the eye. I get this weird feeling in me every time I'm near him...
I just can't understand why I feel like this all the time. I never really considered why I hang around him, helping with this or that.
I was still thinking about it when Kirito appeared in the doorway in the inn. "Hey Katsumi! They found where the boss room is!"
I gasped at that new piece of information. Maybe we can get out of here after all. "Really?" I practically squealed with delight as
he came over and told me about the plan for taking on the boss. "We're going to split up into party's and rotate attacks."
"But won't we need some more people? The two of us might not be enough." "I found someone to join us and help with the attacks."
He then went over to the door and stepped out. He motioned for someone to follow him in, and I saw a cloaked figure step in.
Judging from the thin legs and slight chest bulge, I knew it was a female. Then my face went hot with jealousy as I thought of him
talking with another girl. "Katsumi, this is Asuna. Asuna, Katsumi." I couldn't make out her face under the hood, so I tried being friendly
despite my heart burning with jealousy. "Um...hi..." Her voice sounded so pure and sweet, like honey. I really hated that. "Hi!" I waved
my hand in an attempt to emphasize my friendliness. "Well then, we head out with the rest of the group at ten in the morning."
"I'm feeling tired so I'll go sleep early." I said. And with those words, I went to my room and tried to sleep, with her voice playing in my
head, over, and over.
