A Fairy In a World of Swords

Chapter 9

Lucy POV:

Its now been two years since we started this game, out of the 10,000 people who started the game only 6,147 are still alive. My guild is still doing well and now every time there is a boss battle we're called to come and join the assault team, I walk into the guild and am greeted by smiles and cheers. Kiko comes running over to me and wraps her arms around my waist.

"Hello mommy, how is uncle Kito?" She asks me smiling.

"He's fine, he and I cleared a floor dungeon today." I say as we walk to the bar.

"Hello Master." Penelope says smiling at me as she cleans a glass.

"Hello Penelope, any new members while I was gone?" I ask taking a seat on the bar stool.

"Ten new members, we're now the biggest guild in Aincrad!" She says with her eyes shining.

Even though Knights of the Blood Oath has a good number of members who are all very powerful we have the most members and also we have the best strategies, I never realised that I had a tactical mind until the first boss battle where we lost three members. I knew from that day on that we would fight hard and have a good method to fighting and defeating the bosses, the way we fight is in two lines. Each member is given three hits on the floor boss and then they head off to take on the minions of the boss, this keeps going and then the members join up in a combination attack. 

"Hey Master, have you thought about getting a new sword? Yours is looking a little worse for wear." One of the new members asks me.

"I might, my friends Kirito and Asuna told me about this blacksmith called Lisbeth. She's the best they know apparently, do you know her?" I ask the member.

"Yeah I know Lisbeth! She's amazing! My name is Summer and I joined today, I hope we can be friends." She says smiling.

"I hope that too Summer, could you take me to see Lisbeth? I don't know where her blacksmithing shop is." 

"Sure I can, follow me!" She says cheerfully.

I get a good look at Summer and notice she is the very essence of her name, soft flowing sky blue hair and eyes that remind you of freshly cut grass on a summers day. Kiko decided that she wanted to come with us so I take her hand as Summer leads us to Lisbeth's shop, its on floor 48 os we take a teleport there and then Summer leads me to the shop.

"I'll be going back to the guild, see you Master!" She yells and runs off with the wind flowing through her hair.

I smile at Kiko and then walk inside the shop, its filled with swords and different weapons.

"Don't touch anything ok sweetie?" I say to her as she looks around in awe.

"Ok Mommy." She says and crosses her arms around her chest.

"Maybe we should get you a small sword while we're here, just so that you'll be able to protect your self if anything happens." I say and a girl about my age walks into the room smiling.

She has short pink hair and soft pink eyes, she's wearing an outfit similar to what Virgo wears but in pink.

"Hello and welcome to Lisbeth's blacksmith, how can I help you?" She asks me.

"I'm looking for a new sword, mine is getting a little worn now." I say passing her my blade.

"Hm, well its a good sword but it hasn't been sharpened in a while. What type of sword are you looking for?" She asks me examining the blade.

"Well my friend Kirito has a one handed sword so most likely something like that, I was told that you do custom orders?" I say.

"Oh Kirito sent you, how do you know him?" She asks me.
