"Ah sweet blackmail!" Liz said as she layed back in the stool, leaning against the wall of her shop with a huge grin on her face as she looked at the red-faced couple before her. Kirito was looking anywhere but Liz or his in-game wife, and Asuna looked down to the floor, her light blue hair slightly covering her eyes.
"Liz if you weren't my best friend…" Asuna said as her mouth moved into a slight pout as she looked back up from the floor, her cheeks still a bright red.
"Too bad I am! And too bad that you promised to tell me!" Liz said, her smile becoming bigger.
"T-That's because I promised before I thought it through…" Asuna said as her cheeks turned a darker shade of red. Kirito was still not looking at the two but her looked up when he felt a slight pat on his head. Yui looked at him with a smile on her face, automatically making him smile back.
"So you just agree with anything I say? Can you agree to do my winter homework?"
"Liz! You haven't even started have you?" Asuna said, the studious part of her showing.
"I-I've started! Just… not… some of it…" Liz said, her eyes showing how she regretted mentioning homework.
"Even I've done my homework." Kirito said as he finally looked to the two girls, seeing Asuna glare at the pink haired girl while Liz moved slightly in her stool, uncomfortable under her best friend's glare.
"You have!? Oh now I really need to get started on it." Liz said.
"So you haven't started!"
"Uh... So you see about that..." Liz said as she rubbed the back of her head with her hand, a sheepish smile on her face.
'And now you've dug your own grave.' Kirito thought as he smiled again and leaned back in the chair.
"Y-You know that I'm not the worker type when it comes to doing homework... A-And that I'm not very good at focusing on it either..."
"No excuses Liz! Even Kirito-kun has done his homework!"
'It's not like I did it for the purest motives...' He thought to himself since he had only done his homework as soon as possible to be able to spend the most time possible with his girlfriend.
"I'll do it! E-Eventually..."
"When's eventually?"
"...Soon..."
"Liz!"
"Don't worry about it! I'll get it done eventually! Jus relax Asuna!" Liz said as her sheepish smile returned to it's usual one.
"...That better be true because if not then I'm going to force you to study for three hours!" Asuna said, her voice showing how she was dead serious about that, the look on her face matching.
"G-Got it... A-Anyway, did you guys find any other ingots in your spoils!?" Liz asked, her eyes slightly shining. Asuna sighed at her best friend, thinking how she could focus so well on her blacksmithing but she can't even focus on her real life work.
"I didn't find anymore in my inventory." Asuna said, making Liz turn to Kirito. He sighed and opened his inventory, going into the items to make the few ingots he got from the quest materialize to give them to the ecstatic blacksmith. What came from his menu was a dark purple crystal about twice the size of a normal cellphone and smaller dark blue crystals that were used for strengthening weapons.
"Thank you!" Liz said as she received the ingots and quickly stored them in the items part of her menu.
"Think of it as incentive to start your homework," Kirito said as he smirked slightly, "you can't use any of them until you finish all of the homework you have." he finished, making Liz face so slack and Asuna automatically smile at her in-game husband.
"K-Kirito... one of these days I'll beat you to a pulp..." she said as she glared at him with one of her cheeks puffed out slightly.
"I've had enough of that today thank you very much." he said as he crossed his arms.
"Papa was killed by Klein-san six times today." Yui said from the spriggans head, using the information the system gave her to inform the others.
"Six times!?" both Asuna and Liz said, surprised.
"W-Well I thought I'd let Klein get it out of his system but he took it too far..." he trailed off.
"I get that but SIX TIMES!?" Liz asked again before laughing, "I gotta thank Klein now!" she said, leaning on the wall again as she laughed. While Liz laughed, Asuna put her hand on top of Kirito's, causing him to blush slightly.
"You were being a good friend so don't let what Liz is saying get to you."
"If I let everything that Liz told me get to me, we probably wouldn't get along and instead be at each others necks." he said.
"I wouldn't say that you would be on that level..." Asuna said.
"When we first met she almost killed me for a sword, I would say yes to that level."
"That's because you broke that sword."
"I-I was just testing it! I didn't think it would break from that..." he said, gaining the attention of Liz.
"That reminds me! You never paid me for what you broke!" she said, making Kirito stiffen in his chair.
"W-Well... I helped you get ingots! How about that?" he said.
"Nope! You now owe me for the sword you broke!" she said as she crossed her arms and got up from her chair, heading to the counter in the back.
"Liz this was almost two years ago! Can't you just forget about it?" he said, hoping that by some miracle, she would agree.
"Nope." she said automatically, making him slump in his chair slightly.
'That hope was short lived.'
