GSA: Grand Sword Adventure

A New Sword and the Picnic

"Do you really want to play your game that badly?" asks Jun the next day when she was back in my room. We had spent the whole morning working on homework and I had suggested to her that we should take a break.
"I just want to go and check on things." I said making Jun crossed her arms angrily and I smile saying, "One hour, you give me one hour and I promise we'll go somewhere together after that."
"You promise?" Ask Jun and I raise my right saying, "I, Asakura Akira, promise to take Yashida Jun somewhere after one hour of playing game and if I'm even late by one minute, I give her permission to confiscate my games until she deems I'm ready to have it back." This made Jun crack a smile before she started giggling
"Fine, fine. One hour." Said Jun as I smile before I quickly place a quick kiss on her lips while grabbing the Neuro from on top of my textbook.
"I'll be setting my alarm for one hour." Said Jun as I place the Neuro on my head and I reply, "I will also. I'll see you in one hour then."
"Connect." I said closing my eyes before I found myself inside Megil so I swipe my hands to make the menu appear. I navigated to the clock to set an alarm for 60 minutes before making my way down the stairs and out of the inn.
"It's Kira!" yells a player once he saw me and immediately I was gang up by other players.
"Kira, can you teach me how to overcome the cool down system?"
"Kira, your fight against Ragnarok was awesome."
"Sorry, everyone, I'm on a tight schedule. I have to get going now. Sorry." I said making the players look crestfallen before they move away from me and I made my way towards G-Grave who had set up a permanent shop in Dragonmarsh.
"Yo." I said waving a hand towards him and he smile seeing me.
"People were wondering when you come back." Said G-Grave as I sat on top of his table
"Really?" I ask making G-Grave cross his arms as he said, "They're still geeking out on your battle with Ragnarok."
"Is it really that great a battle?" I ask and G-Grave nodded his head
"After you left, players started asking me if I knew anything about your new play and like the promise we made, I told them that you showed me that awesome style of yours against Grimm Reaper." Said G-Grave proudly
"How much did you make then?" I ask with smile making G-Grave said, "Enough to set up shop here."
"Players are asking me to ask you to help lead the battle against the last boss." Said G-Grave and I raise my eyebrows saying, "The last boss?"
"The way you led the remaining players against Ragnarok has made a big impression upon all players. They're expecting you to lead them against the last boss." Explain G-Grave and I nodded my head saying, "I see, did any players manage to clear a boss yet?"
"Blue Dragons and Shadow Warriors strongest players had formed a temporary truce and they manage to clear levels ninety-one to ninety-three. Right now they're facing Minotaurus."
"Minotaurus?"
"Yeah, the ninety-fourth dungeon boss, it looks just like Midnight Stalker except its red with blue eyes. Players are starting to call them brothers haha." Laugh G-Grave as I put a hand on my chin before asking, "Grave, do you know anyone who's a master blacksmith? A really good one."
"A master blacksmith?" Asks G-Grave with his eyebrows raise and I nodded my head saying, "As you know, defeating Ragnarok gives you the cursed sword Ragnarok and the Orichalcum Ingot."
"Ah, I see where you are going with this. Trying to get the holy sword Excalibur?"
"Yeah but it's has to be forge and as you know I'm no blacksmith."
"Then I suggest that you head over to Lily's." said G-Grave and I raise an eyebrow saying, "Lily's. You mean that blacksmith shop on level 50?"
"That one, Lily's a master blacksmith and a lot of players recommend her." Said G-Grave and I nodded my head saying, "Thanks, I'll go see her now." I then open the armor menu to equip a brown hooded robe making G-Grave raise an eyebrow but he didn't say anything.
"Teleport: Fairelands." I said as I took out the teleportation stone before I was engulf in a bright light. When I open my eyes, I saw pixies along with players running around the village so I took hold of the hood before placing it atop of my head and made my way towards a shop with a sign of an anvil along with the name Lily. When I open the door, I found two other players inside looking at the weapons but Lily was not insight at all so I went up to the register's desk to ring the small bell and a few seconds later, the back door opens and a girl with bright green hair walks in.
"Welcome to Lily's blacksmith shop. I am Lily and how may I be of service?" asks Lily with a smile and I smile before saying, "I was told that you are a master blacksmith?" This made Lily's eyes open wide in shock before she said, "That voice? Are you Kira?"
"Yeah, but shush, I'm on a tight schedule so I don't want any attention right now." I said as the two players turn to look at me and Lily raise a hand to her mouth before saying, "Sorry."
"It's fine can you forge a sword for me? Gold is not an issue." I said as Lily smile saying, "If it's a sword you want then come with me." I nodded my head before following Lily into the back room where I took off my hood before I stare inside the room. There was a large worktable set in the middle along with a large chimney that has a bright fire.
"I'm guessing you're here to get Excalibur?" asks Lily standing behind the table and I made my way towards her saying, "Yeah, but how did you know?"
"We blacksmiths like to keep in touch." Said Lily and I nodded my head before taking out the Ingot from my items.
"When I heard from other players that you haven't logged in for a few days now, I thought that maybe you didn't need a blacksmith, I was so surprise when you showed up in my store." Said Lily as she took the White stone from my hands and I smile saying, "I had a lot to do after Ragnarok so I wasn't able to log in till now and when I asks G-Grave about a master blacksmith, he recommended you."
"I don't know what you may have heard but I will try my best. A one handed Excalibur sword am I right?" asks Lily as she blush and I nodded my head saying, "Yes." Lily then set the ingot on the worktable before a small golden hammer appears in midair and she grabs it with both her hands to start smashing the ingot. After five smashes, the ingot suddenly glow bright teal before its form change into the shape of a sword. Once the glowing disappears, a sword with a white handle and a White blade appears and Lily wipes away her forehead with the back of her hands even though she wasn't sweating and I made a small smile.
"There that should do." Said Lily as she took the sword with both hands before handing me the sword and I smile taking it
"This is great." I said after I had swung it a couple of times making Lily smile and blush before I place the sword inside a white scabbard and it disappears.
"How much?" I ask making Lily said, "It's not ness..."
"Don't give me that, I'm a regular player just like everyone else and as a paying customer, I want to know the price." I said interrupting Lily making her blush once more before she said, "100,000 gold."
"You sure?" I ask making Lily nods her head before I smile and handed her a large bag of gold.
"This is double what I ask you." Said Lily surprise when she saw the amount I had given her and I smile saying, "That's just a tip."
"A tip? You tip someone 100,000 gold?" asks Lily surprise as I raise the hood to my head saying, "Yes, it's also because you made such a great sword, one of the best I seen from a blacksmith and believe me I seen many." This made Lily blush and I smile before turning around waving a hand saying, "I'll see you whenever I need repairs done." I then made my way out of the shop just as my alarm clock started ringing and I open the clock to see that I have five minutes left so I made my way into an inn before logging out.
I slowly open my eyes to feel a shift on my bed so I sat up to turn around and seeing Jun sleeping I smile before taking off the Neuro and setting it on top of my desk just as the alarm started ringing. I press the snooze button on the clock before covering Jun with my blanket. I then made my way down the stairs to find it empty so I made my way into the kitchen to find it also empty.
"That's weird." I said out loud before I saw a note on the table and I went to grab it
"Jun, Kira, we went to the Yamada's and will be back to make dinner. Kira if you two get hungry please made something for the both you." I read the note aloud before setting it back onto the table and begin making sandwiches for lunch.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" asks a voice from the doorway as I was packing the finish sandwiches I made into a box and I look up to see Jun and I smile saying, "You looked so comfortable so I didn't want to bother you."
"You're missing the point." Said Jun as she went to sit on a table with her head resting on the table as I said, "It's fine, it gave me time to have this set up." I then raise the medium size box making Jun look at it before saying, "What's the occasion?"
"A picnic." I said with a smile making Jun smile before we both left the house to make our way towards the lake. Once we got there, Jun picked out a spot under the tree that's near the lake and I begin to set everything up.
"How did your game go?" ask Jun the moment we sat down and I smile saying, "Not much has changed but we're not here to talk about my game. We're here to enjoy this day."
"Right." replies Jun with a smile before I handed her a sandwich and we begin to eat silently while watching the lake and the nearby fishermen fish.
"There might be a time when I'll get super busy at Hiro corp and will probably won't be able to see you much." I said once I swallow making Jun's face fell slightly before she nods her head saying, "I understand."
"But just because I'll be busy doesn't mean I won't think of you. After all, Jun, I love you." I said turning to face her with a smile making her return the smile before she rests her head next to me.
"I love you too." said Jun before we sat eating the lunch and making small talk.
"Shall we head back?" I asks when the sandwiches were finish and the sun is slowly setting.
"Yeah, I'm sure my parents are wondering where we went." said Jun and I nodded my head before I started repacking everything into the basket.
