Kuroudo: Who's next?

The Salamanders stood there until one of them started to yell. He charged me at full speed and I dodged. I slowly walked towards him.

??? 3: What the hell are you?!

Kuroudo: A Ghost.

I quickly got in front of the Salamander and raised his chin with two fingers. I lightly chuckled.

Kuroudo: You guys are just adorable.

I stabbed him and he disappeared into a red flame. I turned around to the final one.

Kuroudo: Are you going to fight too?

??? 4: I'll pass. My magic skill is about to reach 900 soon. I'd rather not incur a death penalty.

I placed one of my hands onto my hip.

Kuroudo: Smart.

I looked at the girl with her blade still drawn.

Kuroudo: What about you?

She sighed.

??? 1: I'm good too. Next time I'll win!

??? 4: I'd prefer not to fight you one-on-one either.

He turned his back and flew away.

Kirito: Did you have to be so brutal?

Kuroudo: Oh come on! I was having fun!

??? 1: Shh. Their Remain Lights are here... 

We waited for the lights to fade and after a few seconds they did.

??? 1: So what now? Thank you? Run away?

Then she raised her sword readying for battle.

??? 1: Or fight?

Kirito crossed his arms.

Kirito: Personally, I see myself as the hero who just saved the princess. Crying and running into my arms would be a good start.

Kuroudo and ??? 1: Are you stupid?!

I walked over to him and punched him to the ground.

Kirito: OW! I was just kidding!

Yui: That's right!

Kirito stood up and Yui flew out of his pocket.

Yui: You can't do that! The only ones to hug Daddy are Mommy and me!

??? 1: D-Daddy?

She slowly walked up to Kirito, inspecting the pixie.

Kirito: Oh... Well, this is...

??? 1: Is that a Private Pixie?

Kirito: Yeah... Something like that.

??? 1: Alright, but why are two Spriggans wandering around here?

Kirito: W-We got lost...?

She stopped and then bursted out with laughter.

??? 1: Your territory is way to the east! Is it even possible to be that lost? You two are so weird!

I quickly pointed my sword near her throat.

Kuroudo: Call me weird again and I'll open your throat.

??? 1: Sorry!

I moved it away and sheathed my blade. She had done the same. 

??? 1: Anyway, I should thank you. Thanks for saving me. My name is Leafa.
