A/N: Thank you everyone for the awesome reviews! And here's the continuation of last week's chapter! Now here comes the most depressing moment for a fanfiction author, the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: This sad author unfortunately doesn't own Sword Art Online.

"..."

The silence coming from the young Sylph girl was all the confirmation that Kirito and the other two girls needed. Recon had done something more, something that made Lyfa mad enough to want to kill him, apparently.

"Well, go ahead and spill or we could just go to Recon and ask..." Liz said in an attempt to get Lyfa to confess what happened. In all of them, besides Lyfa of course, their curiosity was at its peak, wanting to know what happened, besides the kiss.

"... Well... He..." Lyfa fell silent, seemingly too mortified to even answer. Her hands went back to cover her face, not wanting to see them.

'How could Nagata-kun be so stupid!?' Lyfa asked herself as she contemplated how to tell her friends.

"Come on, how bad could it be?" Kirito asked her, in hope of receiving an answer from the girl.

"HE SENT ME A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL! THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS! "Lyfa screamed at him with her hands still on her face. Silence ensued when she finished, which didn't last long. The shop was filled with the laughter of all three players now, with a flustered Lyfa just sitting there.

"God, this is something I can make fun of for a good amount of time." Liz said, making the laughter even stronger in the room and Lyfa's blush to deepen more. When their laughter finally died down, they apologized to the young girl in green before continuing with the conversation.

"This just shows that Liz is right, you have to talk to each other about your feelings. Tell me Lyfa-chan, what are your feelings towards Recon?" Asuna asked her. Lyfa just continued to hide her face in silence.

"Wait! Is your fight what caused all that commotion in the streets? Is that what made everyone leave? To go to watch the spectacle Recon and you made?" Liz, still slightly giggling, asked the girl on the stool. This caught the attention of Kirito and Asuna. When they had been walking to come here, before Recon landed in front of them, they had all been wondering what happened to the people.

"Unfortunately... Yes... and Asuna-san, to answer your question... I have no idea." Lyfa finally managed to say.

"Well, it's a start. This is why you two need to talk", Asuna tightened her grip on Lyfa's sword as she said this, "and I'm not giving this back until you do."

"B-but... fine. But what do I tell him if I don't know what I feel?" Lyfa asked with a pleading look in her eyes. Asuna's eyes turned to Kirito.

"W-what? W-why are you giving me that look?" he asked nervously.

"I figured you could answer since you were in that situation as well, Kirito-kun." Asuna said with a teasing tone in her voice. Kirito's face turned red, while a questioning look overtook Lyfa's face.

"Onii-chan in the same situation... What do you mean Asuna-san?"

"Well, when your brother and I were in old Aincrad, he had a difficult time saying how he felt about me since even he didn't know." Kirito started to step slightly towards the direction of the door until Asuna grabbed him by the sleeve to stop him from leaving.

"Is that true? Were you in the same situation? Because Asuna-san is right, you could help me Onii-chan!" Lyfa said with a new tone, one filled with an eagerness to have answers. Kirito sighed in defeat.

"Yeah, it's true. B-but in my defense, I was never good with my feelings in the first place!"

"Get on with it! I need help!"

"Right, well, when I realized I loved Asuna, it was when I was about to die a couple times... all I could think about was Asuna and wanting to be with her." he said while he ran his right hand through his raven hair, not looking at any of them. Asuna's heart gave a squeeze when he mentioned almost dying, but her heart skipped a few beats when he said he only thought about her during those moments.

"Are you saying I should risk my life?" Lyfa queried with a questioning look.

"W-what? N-no! That's not what I meant... How to put this into words..." he mumbled off with his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"I think I know what he's saying." Liz spoke.

"You do?" the others asked the pink-haired blacksmith, who simply nodded before continuing.

"He's trying to say that your deepest feeling to someone become obvious when in a certain scenario. Am I right?" Kirito could only nod to what Liz said; confused that she could somehow understand perfectly the message he had been trying to say.

"How does that help me? You want me to go do something stupid enough that would be worthy of being on the list of my brother's blunders? I don't think that's possible at this point." Lyfa asked Liz as Kirito scowled at her.

"No Lyfa-chan, but talking to Recon could be the perfect scenario for you to realize your feelings." Asuna said for Liz since she was too busy laughing in the corner of the store from Lyfa's words.

"I'm willing to try if it means this whole ordeal with be in the past... I'm going to go find him... I hope he doesn't still think I'm trying to kill him..." she said as she left the shop. Asuna walked over to the counter in the back and left Lyfa's sword on it, Kirito came up to her and stood by her side.

"Kirito-kun... Did you really mean what you said? That you only thought of me when you almost died?" she asked him, red faced. He gave her an honest smile and nodded.

"In the three major times I was almost killed, all I could think of was you and only you." he stepped closer and kissed her cheek, making her blush deepen. When Kirito's lips left her cheek, the laughter coming from Liz finally died down.

They both turned to look at her and saw her sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall with tears clinging to her eyes.

"You know Liz, if you keep laughing like that, I might make Klein do that same thing to you that Recon did to Lyfa." Kirito said with a smirk. This caused a look of panic to cross Liz's face.

"You wouldn't dare..."

"How much are you willing to bet?"

"Okay, stop it before Liz ends up losing her shop." Asuna said to break up their small confrontation. Liz picked herself off the ground and walked to stand in front of them.

"Just WHY would I lose my shop?" she asked the Undine in front of her through narrowed eyes.

"Because you're willing to bet your shop and you know Kirito-kun WOULD, in fact be willing to do that." Asuna stated while Liz simply pouted, for she knew her best friend was right.
