I swear, since the last time I posted, I blacked out with my laptop over my face and slept from 10:00AM to 8:00AM. 22 hour nap, kitty cat naps OG TheDemiGeek FTW all up in Fanfiction. So here I am writing Pt.2. I bid you good day.

The Next Day

Seiko's POV

I could hardly sleep at all last night, the two new girls that I got along so well with, ended up being related to Yuusuke, I guess that explains why I connected with them so easily. Today was going to be the floor 94 Boss fight. I never would have thought we would ever make it this far, soon enough, I'll be with Yuusuke in the real world.

I walked out of my room to find Yuusuke, who slept in the room across from me walk out at the same time, my nose smacked into his chin and we both fell backwards into the rooms we had just exited.

"Ugh. I am really not a morning person. Are you ok Seiko?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Great! To make it up to you, I'll make breakfast."

"Not much of a sorry is it? You make breakfast for everyone, every morning."

"Well, you get whatever you want. What would you like miss?"

"Don't go acting all gentlemanly all of a sudden, can I have a blueberry pancake with maple syrup."

"Got it."

I waited at the table as he cooked, the SAO cooking system was really basic, practically anyone could cook, they just needed good memory. Of course, they also needed the time to actually level up their cooking skill, or else it would be bad no matter what.

"Hey Yuusuke, I never asked, but what level is your cooking skill?"

"I maxed it out last year. Why do you ask?"

"I was just curious. I'm surprised you have so much dedication to cooking."

"It's what my grandparents keep me around for, you could say a have a talent for it."

What he said was sad, but he said it so happily I couldn't wrap my finger around it. He said it in such a way it makes him seem that he's happy to just be used as a servant to his family.

"Why do you put up with it? Your family I mean."

"I actually was planning to run away during winter break. I guess you could say my plans got fooled by the thing that I liked the most about my life."

I felt a little sad about him sating he liked video games the most.

"Why do you like MMOs so much?"

"Well, there's 3 reasons, the first is that I never had any friends until 7th grade, I was friends with an 8th grader, my only friend. That happens to be Blaze."

"Blaze, the leader of the -Gold Dragons- was your only friend?"

"Yeah, and since I didn't have many friends, I resorted to playing games that involved meeting other people. That's the first reason I like MMOs."

"What are the other reasons?" Yuusuke could be so distant sometimes, I enjoy learning more about him and how his mind works.

"The second is that, I was able to make friends here."

"And what's the third?" I was on the edge of my seat about this one. I don't know why.

"The third, is because I was able to meet you Seiko." I blushed. We held hands from across the table. We both smiled. Just then we heard a creak come from the stairs and pulled apart immediately.

Third Person POV

Aiko: Morning everyone.

Mai: Good morning Onii-chan, Seiko. You guys were up early.

Yuuki: Yeah, you were. Hmmm. We wouldn't have been interrupting anything would we?

Yuu: Well, interrupting a conversation, but other than that, no.

Seiko: We both woke up at the same time, so we had breakfast. The boss fight is today you know?

Mai: We know, we know.

Yuuki: Wait, I didn't.

Aiko: Me neither.

Yuu: Well, you should probably get ready. We leave in 2 hours. Your breakfast is on the counter.

They all rushed to the counter.

Kyo's POV

I wonder how everyone's doing. Those 2 girls looked like counterparts of Yuu big time though. I wonder if they met yet. A ring came from the door, signaling someone walked in.

"Welcome to Kyo's Smithshop, how can I help you?" This guy was dressed in heavy armor, 6'8'' and a 6ft giant sword on his back.

"I'd like maintenance on my sword, could you have it done before 10:00AM? The boss fight is today and I need to have my weapon in good shape." So he's from the front lines, he looks tough, but slow. Tarou could probably take him, I take that back, no he couldn't.

"Of course sir. I'll have it done in an hour, you can browse and ask me questions or come back in an hour."

"Yeah, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Ask away." I said as I was repairing his sword.

"What is your connection to Yuu, 'The Shining Light'?"

"Well, I used to be in his guild actually, I was the second person to meet him in this game. I only left recently because I wanted to open this shop."

"Interesting, do you know anything about his teammates?"

"Most of them, don't know about the new ones though, I never saw them in combat. They must've been good to get this far in the game. I mean, the game started November 7, 2022. It's now December 5th, 2024. More than 2 years already."

"I guess you're right."

"Why did you want to know."

"I'm the second-hand strategist for the -Gold Dragons-. I needed information about all the guilds to create a strategy for the boss battle."

"I see, well, here is your sword, good as new."

"And here is your pay, keep the change, as a pay for the info."

What a weird guy.

Yuu's POV

We all gathered at the door of the boss fight.

"Ok everyone, we're getting close to room 100, but that doesn't mean we can get cocky. We need to keep trying our best. Remember, if anyone gets their health bar near red, switch out and heal, I want shield users in the front, castle guard defense formation. Between the shield users, I want Two-Handed Swords, behind the Two-Handed swords will be the shielded mace users. The spear users will attack from the sides, dagger users rush in, get a few hits, and retreat as fast as you can. One-handed swords, rapiers, and curved swords with me, we wait for an opening behind the boss, and put in as much damage as possible."

"Everyone got the plan?"

I got a 'Roger', 'Yeah', or 'Ok' from everyone.

"Now, nobody die on me ok? Let's go!"

We all rushed into the Boss Room, everyone got into formation, the boss fell from the ceiling. It's name was -Mercury the War God-, he was armed with a Two-Handed Axe that was double bladed. We started getting some damage in. I chained my skills to put as much damage as possible. I saw everyone else do the same. -Sword Skill- =Heaven's Wrath= =Angel's Punishment= =Skyward Blade= =Hell's Charge= =Lightning Slash=, we backed off as the boss turned to me. My team scrambled to the sides and I blocked an axe slash that would've cut me in half from the side.

"Everyone, attack! I'll keep it busy." I jumped over the axe and ran up it's handle. I stabbed my sword into Mercury's arm and kept dragging the sword all the way up his body. I almost went deaf because once I reached his shoulder, he let out a blood curdling scream. His last health bar has gone into red. He went berserk and grabbed me off his shoulder and threw me into the air. He slashed at me, but I blocked with my sword just in time. The blow sent me crashing into a wall on the other side of the room.

"Yuu!"

"Yuusuke!"

"Onii-chan!"

I looked at my status bar, I had a broken arm status and a broken leg status. I looked over to my sword beside me. It shattered as soon as I did. I let my head fall back.

"Yuu, oh my god, Mai! Healing crystal."

"I don't have any right now, I used it on Yuuki when she was stomped on."

I slowly used the arm that wasn't broken to reach behind me and grab a healing crystal. I held it to my chest.

"H-heal" I instantly felt better. I got up and selected a new sword. I looked at the boss. He needs quite the few hits until he's done. -Passive Skill- =God Speed= I flew at the boss and ran up his back at lightning speed. Stabbing my sword into his heel and dragging it all the way up his neck in mere seconds. I released the sword from his neck and jumped into the air. -Sword Skill- =Dethroned Royalty=. I sent the first slash cutting off his arm, and decided to charge with the second slash, I flew downwards cutting -Mercury the War God- straight in half. I heard my sword hit the ground with a clang. Then, a shatter from above me, but then, the unimaginable happened.

I looked over, just in time to see Shizuyo laying on the ground, her health bar still going down, she had an -Internal Bleeding- effect.

"Does anyone have a high level healing item?!" I said just as she muttered a few words.

"Good...Bye..." I heard as she shattered right in front of me. I fell to my knees.

"Sh-shizuyo..." I heard footsteps nearing me.

"What happened Yuu?"

"I heard a shatter, what was it."

I turned around, looking down so my hair would cover my eyes, "Shizuyo."

I think I'm making myself cry right now. Why Shizuyo!? She was such a badass, she helped defeat the floor 25 boss with only 8 people! She kidnapped Yuu! Shizuyo, I will always remember you, probably because the friend that gave me that character is going to give me an ear full. Well that's it for now. I'm no longer taking OCs, I think I'll give you guys something special soon. That's all for now, TheDemiGeek, Out!
