Yuuki

I'm at a friends place on floor 48 to get my sword fix. Her name is Lisbeth, she's a blacksmith. "Aaaaaandd.. There you go." She said after sharpening my sword. "OH Thank you thank you so much Liz!" "Don't mention it. So, what have you been up to lately?" She asked me curiously. "Not much, just been hunting and leveling up my cooking skill." "Cooking skill? What do you need that for? Are you cooking for someone???" She said with a smug while nudging me. I started blushing and getting embarrassed. "I-i-i don't kn-know what you're talking about." I said stuttering like an idiot. Suddenly, i hear a bell, signalling that it's 3 o'clock. "Oh, it's 3 o'clock. I gotta go Liz, i have stuff to do." I said and walked to the entrance. "Ok then, take care Yuuki!" Lisbeth said waving her arm. I walked out and started heading towards the inn that me and Kirito are staying at. Kirito said that he had plans today. I wanted to come with him, but he insisted to go by himself. When i get back to the inn, i'm planning on maxing out my cooking skill. And then i'm going to go hunting to get extra money, since we're close on getting to 5 million col to buy a house. I reached the inn and went to go research and trying out some different cooking method. After about 4 hours of leveling up, i manage to max out my cooking skill. Well that leaves that, now to go hunting. When i was walking to the hunting spot, i started wondering where Kirito is. He's been gone the whole day, and i already missed him... After 3 hours of hunting, i went back to the inn get some rest since it's 10 P.M. When i got back, Kirito is no where to be found. Where in the world is he? I change my clothe to a more comfortable one. Before i go to sleep, i open my menu to see where he is right now. He appears to be on another floor. I'm not to worry about it because i know he can handle take care of himself. While i was looking around my menu, i accidentally pressed on Lisbeth. I was about to close my menu when i noticed that Lisbeth is on another floor. My eyes widen when i saw that she is on floor 55. Why the hell is she there?! She usually never go above floor 50. Well, can't do anything about it now. I'll see what i can do tomorrow. With that i close my menu and went to sleep. It's been along time since i slept alone. I wish Kirito is here.

Timeskip

Morning has came and i opened my eyes. I got up and stretched my arm and back. I looked at the clock showing 8 o'clock. My stomach suddenly started growling. I decided to go eat somewhere. I got up and change to my usual clothe. I went downstairs to find a table for me to eat. I noticed Argo is having breakfast on a table that is in the corner of the room. I came up to Argo waving my hands. "Good morning, Argo." I said. "Ah, Yuuki. Good morning." I sat in front of Argo and ordered a drink. "It's rare to see you here Argo, you usually stay around floor 35." "There's really no information that i can find there, so i decided to approach the upper levels. I've been leveling up, so i can handle my self around here." "Well you are skilled with your throwing weapon skills. Anyway, do you have any info today?" "Hmm... There's this dragon that eat crystal..." I waited for her to continue but she stayed silent. "What, is that it?" "Well, it's useless for me to tell you, because i already told it to somebody a couple days ago." I lean back to my chair. "Hmm... Do you know where Kirito is?" I asked with a serious look. "Huh? Why'd you ask me?" "Because your one of his acquaintance. Maybe i thought you would know or was notified." "I AM an acquaintance, but i'm not THAT close to him that i know where he's at 24/7. I'm also surprised that you came alone. I thought you'd follow him wherever, whenever." "..." "You also sleep with him right?" My face went from 0 to 100 in an instant, or more like from a potato to a tomato. "Wha-what?! How'd you know?" I ask frantically. "Ohhh, just a wild guess hehehe." She said with a mischievous smile. I let it slide. "So, what's wrong with him?" She asked. "Yesterday, he said that he had plans for the day. I wanted to come with him, but he insisted on going alone. And then he didn't came back." I said looking down. "Ahh poor Yuuki, can't get enough of Ki-Boy." "It's not like that!" "Well, try checking where he is." I opened my menu and press on his name. "He is on floor 55, on a mountain it looks like." I looked at Argo to see her face shocked. "Floor 55! At what mountain?" She asked. "Uhm, i don't know. It's on the west of the floor though." I looked at her again, only to see her face distraught. "Hmm? What's wrong Argo?" "He's... he's at the dragon's lair that i mention!" "Seriously?!" I turn on visibility so Argo can see my menu. "Yep, no doubt about it. But you shouldn't worry, if i know Ki-Boy he can handle it just fine. For now let's enjoy our breakfast." "Uhm.. Ok." We continued our breakfast but i didn't order anything.
