Yolko has been stabbed. The four look around for anyone suspicious. They see a cloaked figure on the roof. "Kirito, over there!" Matsubaki points at the figure. "Let's get him!" They both jump from the window and land on the roof. "Kirito! Matsubaki!" Asuna shouts. "Stop where you are!" Matsubaki shouts. "He's reaching for something. Prepare yourself." Kirito said as he grabs his sword. Matsubaki does the same. The cloaked figure just vanished into thin air. "He just disappeared." Kirito said. "Damn. Let's head back to Asuna and Jaynaki." Matsubaki said.

"Anything on that man?" Asuna said. "No he got away." Kirito said. "He would've been our lead. You said he teleported away?" Jaynaki said. "Teleport. Why would a ghost want to have a teleport crystal?" Matsubaki said as he thinks. "Matsubaki? What's wrong?" Asuna said. "This is all suspicious. This may be connected to the 'deaths' of Kains and Yolko." He said. "So you're saying they faked their deaths?" Jaynaki said. "It's possible. But why? To get attention? Well it was during the dinner rush." Kirito said. "It really is true! Griselda's Ghost is coming to get me!" Schmitt yells. "Calm down! No one is out to get you." Asuna said. "About this sword we found at the time of the 'murder' I know a guy who can help us out." Kirito said.

To Algade

"Hey Agil." Kirito said as he sees a tall black man, bald, and a goatee.

"Kirito?" Agil said

"Kirito?" Agil said. "How have you been, man?" "Not much man. Just doing the routine I always do everyday." They fist bumped each other and Agil sees Asuna and Matsubaki together. "What are you doing with someone like her? I thought you were a solo player." Agil said surprised. "What? She always hangs out with my two new friends here. Guys this is Agil. Agil, this is Matsubaki and Jaynaki." "Hello." They both say. "It's an honor to meet some new people." "All greetings aside, we need help identifying a weapon that was used inside a safe zone. A murder to be exact." Kirito asks. Matsubaki hands Agil the sword. Agil inspects the sword through the stats and name. "Player made. By someone named Grimlock. Nothing said about being used in the safe zone for killing." He hands the sword back to Kirito. Kirito thinks on what could happen if he actually does die in a safe zone. He readies the sword to strike his hand. He goes for the thrust, but it's stopped by Asuna and Jaynaki. "What the hell are you doing? Are you that ridiculous?" They both grab the handle of the blade. "Well obviously I'm trying to find out if it actually does... oh my God what am I doing?" Kirito said with regret.

Schmitt was seen kneeling down at a grave that's marked Griselda's name. While down there, he sees two cloaked figures looking down at him. "You killed her, Schmitt!" The cloak said in a deep voice. "I wish I could've done something." Schmitt whined. "You killed Griselda." The other figure said, this time more feminine. And while being scared out of his mind, three more people, also wearing cloaks, approach them, supposedly player killers.
