(Alright I just want you all to know. I'm skipping the Red-Nose Reindeer. I find it too sad and even while writing the draft for it I started to cry so I won't be writing it. But I will be writing the Black Swordsman.)

???: Please don't... kill me...

Kuroudo: Why shouldn't I? You murdered countless people and you expect mercy?

I pulled my sword out and lifted him up.

Kuroudo: Run.

???: Thank you!

He turned his back and was about to run. 

Kuroudo: Idiot...

Before he ran I stabbed him my katana. Afterwards I pulled it out and I cut his head cleanly off.

Kuroudo: And another one bites the dust. Man this is boring. Wonder how Kirito is doing.

???: Pina! Pina! Don't leave me!

I ran to the sound and saw a little girl crying with Kirito standing there.

Kuroudo: Alright Kirito, what did you do?

Kirito: I done nothing! I saved her from a bunch of Drunken Apes.

Kuroudo: Then why is she crying?

I noticed something glowing so I walked closer and crouched to her level

Kuroudo: What is that?

???: It's Pina... my partner...

Kuroudo: You're one of those Beast Tamers aren't you?

I took my mask off and checked if it had an item name. It did. "Pina's Heart" it said. Once she saw that, she started to cry harder.

Kuroudo: Stop crying. Pina's heart is still there. You can still revive it.

???: Really?

Kirito: Yeah. On the South Side of Floor 47, there's a dungeon called the "Hill of Memories". I heard that the flower that blooms at the top can revive familiars

???: Floor 47... 

Kirito: I would go for you. All you would have to do is pay for the trip and I could get it for you but, the flower won't bloom unless the familiars owner is there.

???: The information is enough. Some day I'll get on a high enough level and-

Kuroudo: You have three days before Pina is dead forever.

???: No... It's my fault Pina...

Kirito walked to the little girl and opened his menu. He started to give the girl equipment for the journey.

Kirito: Don't worry, this equipment should be worth a good five or six levels and with us around, it'll work out.

Kuroudo: Who said that I'll be going?

Kirito walked towards me and whispered in my ear.

Kirito: There is a bounty on someones head... You can't kill them but, I think the little girl can draw her out... if you help, I'll give you half.

I sighed and nodded my head.

Kuroudo: Well I'm coming with you.

???: Why would you do all of this for me?

Kirito: I'll tell you but, you have to promise not to laugh.

She nodded her head in determination.

Kirito: It's because... you look like my little sister...
