Kirito x Reader

Chapter 19

A/N
I am so sorry for making you guys wait. I will try and make it up to you now. Also the pic at the top is my drawn version of Liv, yes, I did draw that so it won't be the best... Love Ya 🙃

(YN)'s POV:

The virtual sun shone brightly as I opened my eyes. I looked around the room and as I looked down my (ST) arm, I saw my fingers intertwined with another, slightly larger and tanned hands. It was Kirto's. He was still asleep, his face calm and looked at peace. I blushed and tried to pull my hand out of his grip... Failing... Terribly. I sighed and let my hand relax once more and stares into space, thinking about the real world. The fact that we had been here for two years, the fact that there would only probably be a few of that return back to the real world, lowering the human population and race. I felt movement beside me and it jerked me from my thoughts. I saw Liv there, rubbing her eyes gently, blinking furiously as she got used to the 'fake' light. "Mommy?" She asked cautiously. I looked back at her and realised she still had her eyes closed.
"Yes Liv?" I replied gently, trying my best to make my voice sound as gentle as possible. She opened her eyes slowly and shifted round so she was facing me. Her short arm wrapped around my waist and whimpered,
"I thought it was a dream, I thought you hadn't got me, I thought I was still with h-her..." she trailed off and refused to continue. I wrapped my free hand around her and whispered soothing things into her ear.

About an hour later everyone was up, dressed and ready to go. We headed down the stairs and entered the inn's lobby. It was as it was previously, everything in the same position and ready to impress anyone who layed their eyes on it. We left the inn, making our way to a café nearby. It was quite small and quite, not many people inside, barley talking even, just sitting and eating their meals. I breathed out slowly and the four of us took a seat near the back in the corner, a waiter coming towards us only a few seconds later. "Hello and welcome to the 'Frozen Rose Café'!" The waiter said in an overly excited tone, reminding me of the pinkette blacksmith, Lizbeth. My (EC) eyes scanned the menu briefly looking for something that caught my eye:

Menu:
Drinks:
•Tea.        •Water.         •Coffee.     •Juice.     •(FD).
Meals:
•Bacon.    •Toast.    •Pancakes.    •Waffles.    •(FF).

'Well that's my choice sorted.' I thought.
"I guess I'll just have (FF) and (FD) please." I replied and the waiter nodded vigorously, inserting what I ordered into a small white screen that lay out in front of him that hadn't been there before.
"Pancakes!" Cheered the sibling, smiling widely. I chuckled at their behaviour as the waiter also inserted their order into the white screen.
"I'll have toast and coffee please." Kirito ordered. The man nodded and left with all of our orders.

As we waited for our food, the café became gradually louder, more people flooding in: Adults and Children all in small groups. I found myself looking at them, like I was in some sort of trance. I sighed and shook my head, forcing my head to look away from them and at the waiter that was coming back, the white menu open in front of him, the food we ordered listed there ready to be served.

After a while we finished, leaving the café. It was sunny, the yellow sun blasting its burning heat towards us all. There were people gathered in large groups and crowds. They were talking about something, and they were all talking about the same thing. A party, one that was coming soon, tonight even. It was, apparently, a party to just get people's minds off the fact that their in a game, around 7:00pm. I guess we could go, we don't exactly have plans. "Can we go? Please?" Liv begged. I looked over at Kirito and nodded. He nodded back and said,
"Fine, we have to go out now though to a forest on floor 42."
"Yes!" She cheered in response.

We made our way to floor 42 and found ourselves on a dirt road that lead to a thick, dark forest; the light not reaching through the leaves. We walked through it when we heard a high-pitched scream. It sounded like a girl, a young one at that. The four of us ran off, led by Kirito, towards the scream. The reached the place where the victim of the scream was and saw a girl who looked quite young who had blonde pigtails on either side of her head. She was crying slightly and whimpering a name over and over again: "Pina... Pina!"

Behind the young girl were a few large ape like creatures. They were gaining in on her, preparing to strike. A low growl came for my mouth and I un sheathed my (FC) sword. I charged forward and swung my sword towards the beasts preparing to attack. I heard Kirito beside me and we fought.
