Underworld, Rulid Village—12th August, Year 380 in the Time of the Realm of Humanity

...Mmm... Something's pushing against him...

No... He still wants to sleep, though. Maybe if he murmurs a 'Five more minutes...', he'll get some extra sleep... It always works...

Not like he could help it, really... Even back home, he was just a natural sleeper. He kind of blames his experience in 'Sword Art Online', which really did make him a sucker for slumber. That quirk of his was not going to change anytime soon.

...Odd. The voice is calling him even harder now. Jeez, talk about being annoying...

"...fast..!" What? What was... "...reakfast! Come on..! Alice...calling! Do you want to miss breakfast?"
...Oh, shit!

The sheer mention of that had its immediate effect; his body snapped forwards into a sitting position, his head accidentally collided with Eugeo's own. "Ouch..! Watch it!"

"That's what I should be saying..!" Cried out the green-eyed blond, trying his hardest to glare at his brother, although all he really did manage to achieve was look like a pouting bunny. "Come on, Alice and Selka called us for breakfast..."

"Shoot, I didn't even shower yet..!" Curse his powerful need of slumber! Why was he so absorbed with Sloth? "You think they won't mind?"

"...I would assume they do, seeing that this is already the fifteenth time you wake up late," sighed Eugeo with a shake of his head. Honestly, there was no helping this boy sometimes. "Come on. Let's get down, already."

With a chirpier tone of his own, Kirito joined his brother over to Alice's home after putting on some casual wear, looking around and greeting the villagers they passed by. They were probably laughing at him on the inside, knowing that he didn't wake up early enough to shower. Again.

'Ah well. I probably don't smell bad,' blinking at that thought, he gave a small sniff to his armpit, his throat making a repulsive constriction by reflexes. Holy crap, he smelt horrible! When was the last time he took a bath? 'Yep, I'm definitely taking a bath after this. I'll see if I can cook up some herbs to help rid the smell even better. No, wait! Alice is good at that stuff! I'll get her to do it then.'

That thought in mind, the two of them finally reached their childhood friend's house—Eugeo's childhood friend, seeing that Kirito has not regained any memories on this village or the girl. Nevertheless, unaware of this fact still, he continues to wish a good morning to the girls inside the home.

Their parents were probably out. Being the chief and the wife of the chief meant that they were always busy, after all.

"Ah, Kirito! Eugeo! Good morning to the both of you!" Smiled Alice, emerging from the kitchen with a white apron on. "Hold on a minute. Selka and I are almost done. Mind waiting at the table?"

"Don't worry, Alice. I'll be sure to keep a lookout for Kirito, though," said the boy with a hum.

"Yeah, we'll be sure to—Hey! That was uncalled for!" Pouted Kirito, earning laughter from the other two. It didn't take long for him to break, ending up chuckling as well. "Goddesses, you two suck... Alright! We'll wait. I'll wait, so please be quick?"

"We're almost done. Just a bit more," rolled her eyes the blue-eyed blonde. "Sit down first."

The two boys did as they were told, and not even a minute later, the Zuberg sisters finally came out of the kitchen, the older girl carrying a large pot of meat stew—meat that Eugeo had caught by hand a day prior—while the younger sister helped to bring bowls and cutlery over to the table.
