Fatal Bullet (Various x Female Reader)

Battle Lost (Chapter Twenty)

The next day I spent training in the park. Hikaru frowned as he watched me.

"Master, you should take a break. You've been at this for hours now." Hikaru tried to reason with me. I nodded and sighed.

"You're right. I shouldn't tire myself out carelessly." He sighed in relief. It was at this time, that I received a message from Kirito to log into ALO. I rushed back to my apartment and plugged ALO in.

"Link start!"

"I have something to show everyone." Yui showed us a map of Tokyo.

"So far, when a boss monster has appeared at a event, it has always been at 9:00 PM." She pointed at the location where we fought Kagachi the other night.

"This is the location where mommy, daddy, and onee-san fought Kagachi the Samurai Lord the other day. " She then flew down to the location from last night.

"And this is the location where Mommy fought last night. In a few seconds you'll see the locations where the other nine bosses appeared. I'll also superimpose a flattened map of Old Aincrad over it." We all gasped in shock.

"No way! Every place a boss showed up in OS lines up with a dungeon from Old Aincrad!" Lisbeth exclaimed.

"The admins seem to have picked open spaces in the city, with coordinates that most closely match the dungeons. With this, we can make certain predictions." The map zoomed in onto Floor 12's boss floor.

"For example, tonight at 9:00PM, a boss will most likely appear at the Yebisu Garden Place in Shibuya." Yui stated. Silica seemed excited.

"Oh, this is great! If we know where it's going to be, we can go, too!" She exclaimed. Asuna looked over at her in concern.

"Won't you parents mind you're out that late?" She asked. Lisbeth chuckled.

"Mine won't, as long as I'm hanging with you guys. They're so weird. If this was VR, they'd pitch a fit." Lisbeth stated.

"Well, they did lose their daughter for two years. It's understandable." I told her. She nodded at the truth of my words." Sinon sighed.

"Well, have fun guys. I have to work tonight, so I can't make it." Sinon looked over at Kirito.

"How about you? Are you gonna go to this one?" She asked. Kirito shook his head.

"Nah, I'll pass on tonight." Lisbeth sighed exasperatedly.

"Oh, jeez! Are you still not used to fighting in AR?" She asked him dubiously.

"Nope." Lisbeth shrugged.

"Ah, well, suit yourself." Asuna looked over at me.

"Are you going to come as well?" She asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. I'm going to try not to miss anymore of these battles." Asuna gave me a sad smile. Lisbeth suddenly pulled Asuna down onto the couch, throwing her arms around her and Silica, sending a playful smile my way as I sat in the empty spot next to Sinon.

"Let's gear up and show that YUNA chick how us veteran players like to party!" Asuna and Silica both cheered "Yeah!" at the same time. I couldn't find it in myself to cheer with them. Kirito looked over at where Klein would normally be.

"By the way, where's Klein?" He asked. I froze. I could hear Sinon's voice from beside me.

"Who knows? He's probably somewhere in Ordinal, grinding for points or something." Asuna and I shared a knowing look. We need to tell them. I opened my mouth to speak, but Asuna got to it before me.
