"You know," said Joshuo, "As I have been observing ways to get direction, I have noticed when most people say 'north,' they point in the direction of the sun. Well, in SAO at least. So, I assume we're heading north!" We all contemplated his thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Usu lit up knowingly, "and I remember hearing NPCs in the First Town saying that the Second Town was to the north of the First Town, so we're going the right way. And, haven't you noticed? The road we're walking on has been marked, clearly, by flowers!" We looked around and had that aha moment. Joshuo took out his guide booklet from Floor One. I gave him that look and he said, "Floor Seven. Not a big difference." And he did his usual shrug and opened the booklet, licking his finger and flipping through the pages. My face got red.
"Well, there's a big difference when you can't get to the number 7 for a year!" I yelled, having enough of his infamous shrugs. He just stared at me, then kept paging through the book. Falckon looked at me and walked closer to me, for possible comfort. Usu cringed, and Komi walked closer to her, holding her hand. I noticed this, but left it for another time.
Joshuo finally stroked his chin and looked up, walking backwards to look at us as he talked.
"It says here that on Floor Seven a rare flower will randomly spawn in the middle of the marked road. It says that it can heal any dying animal from an animal tamer, or you can sell it for 5 million Col, considering the rarity. I say if we do come across it, we should sell it." Everybody agreed and he put the guide away, and we continued onward. Sure enough, as our luck favors us, the flower spawned and we made our way to the Second Town, and sold it for the exact price described in the booklet.

"I thought it was a floor 40 something flower," said Usu as we walked out of the small hut that is the general store. Joshuo nodded, "It is. But they added it to Floor Seven, too. Convenience, maybe." We continued walking along the sunbathed cobblestones of the Second Town. I looked up at the sun, a mere, shining cross in the sky. As we continued walking along, off in the distance we heard screaming. We quickly wielded our swords and ran out of the safety of the Second Town, towards the desperation.
