Chapter 3: Silica's First Quests and Goodbye

Naruto: Don't you know? This fool doesn't own me, any characters from Sword Art Online, or the world of Aincrad or anything to do with Sword Art Online.

Me: Why did you say that so cruelly?

Naruto: …I'm sorry, did you say something?

Chapter 3:

Naruto and Silica were walking through the streets of the town, enjoying the new sights and feel of it. The NPC's all wore different clothing from the second and first floor. The houses were based off a different era, most likely the Japanese dynasty period. The stone pavement was replaced with a long concrete pathway, beautiful sakura trees adorning the sides of the roads.

Naruto had both of his hands on the back of his head as he whistled a wistful tune. Wild…flower blossoming. I beg of you… (A/N: This is Euterpe from Guilty Crown)

Kurama had somehow gotten out of Silica's deathgrip and was now walking and 'yipping' at everything he saw. Silica's eyes were wide with wonder as she turned and gaped at all the new styles and changes to the third floor.

"So, what do you want to do?" Silica turned to Naruto when he asked the question. Naruto was turned the opposite way as he stared at a quest board. It had one request paper stapled on it.

"I don't know. What do you want to do in this floor, Naruto-san?" Naruto turned his head and poked Silica on the forehead.

"Ah~, so mean."

"No –san, or anything formal attachments to my name; It makes me feel old. Besides, you're not even that much younger than me." Silica stopped rubbing her forehead and pouted at Naruto. He just smiled back. "My goal on every floor is to finish every quest. There might be some rare items, and they're always a good source of EXP and col."

Silica nodded her head in response. "So, where can we get quests?"

"Usually, they're all over the place. On the second floor, when I was walking on a forest path, I suddenly was forced into a quest without my own consent. But it wasn't too bad; I just had to survive in the forest by myself for the whole night." Silica gulped.

How strong is he?

"Could you quit during the quest?" She asked curiously. Naruto nodded his head.

"I could have…but the quest description and results were appealing enough for me to keep it. Eh…whatever, let's just get a quest. There's a request board back there; we just passed it." Naruto and Silica both turned around to check the board.

On a green board with golden trims on its side, there was a single request stapled onto the board. Requesting Waiters and Maids.

Oh hell no, I'm not doing this.

Naruto turned swiftly away from the board and began to walk away. Silica, however, grabbed onto his arm to stop him. Naruto glanced back and saw Silica glaring up at him. We are not doing this. No, I will deny it!

"Where are you going?" Naruto waved his hand over his shoulder, acting as nonchalant as possible.

"We don't need this quest. Someone else can do it." He tried to walk away, but Silica's hand was somehow preventing him from moving. She's a lot stronger than she looks.

"Didn't you just say that your goal was to finish every quest on every floor? So, are you already giving up on your goal?" Silica's eyes narrowed as she increased her glare. Naruto just stayed silent and kept a completely ignorant face.
