A night have passed already as the sun rises onto the horizon, a peaceful night have yet pass its current time. A collide between two worlds seems to have a meaningful things for the world of Alddbell, an unknown world to both Naofumi and Kirito as they search for the truth behind their "transfered" into this world.
" Good morning Naofumi-sama " Raphtalia greets Naofumi as she sees him open up his eyes
" Uh...Morning Raphtalia, how you doing? " Naofumi responded as he seated on his bed while rubbed both of his eyes.
" Getting better, And you Naofumi-sama? " Raphtalia says as she open up the curtain in the room and a light shines up to their room.
Naofumi flinched as he exposed to the sun light " ukh, that's reassuring... " not waiting any longer Naofumi get off his bed walks toward the window, a refreshing view could be seen by his and Raphtalia's eyes as they slide up the window for a greater view " magnificent view isn't? "
Raphtalia responds it with a nod agreed to Naofumi's statement " Yup, you're right Naofumi-sama, I wonder if Firo and Melty are able to seeing too "
Naofumi silenced as he heard Raphtalia's words " we find them. Definitely "
Raphtalia : " Yeah..."
" Anyway, you mind talked out why you ended up in those bandit's settlement a few days ago? " Naofumi turns his gaze to Raphtalia
Hearing that Raphtalia could just silenced for a couple of second, soon after she made up her mind to tell the tale " Actually, it all happens when I got an info regarding the bandits that kidnapped any traveler on Ymir's forest and turn them into slavery, I just can't bare to hear it, instead I'm do nothing about it, I take several adventurers with me to storm that place, but it turns out it was a bad call to make. Soon after we reached the depth, there's this thick fog suddenly appeared out of nowhere, at first we barely see anything, but a few second later I knocked out of consciousness, after I woke up, I was already in that cage tied up arms and feet and they told me they're about to sold me out. But then you finally saved me from becoming slave again, you know I'm so relieved that I can still see your face again in this world Naofumi-sama "
As expected Raphtalia would go that far. Naofumi turn his gaze again towards out of the window " me too, Raphtalia..."
Raphtalia : " Anyway, Naofumi-sama, yesterday Kirito and the others said are looking for the info on Firo and Melty's whereabouts, why didn't you joined up with them? "
Naofumi : " Despite your condition there's no way I leave you alone in here , someone have to take care of you and besides Kirito already told me about Firo and Melty last night, if you well enough we can go to Yggdrasil town to check it up on them "
Hearing that makes Raphtalia jumped in joy and quickly gaze into Naofumi " I'm well enough Naofumi-sama, let head out there! "
Naofumi staring Raphtalia overall he wants to make sure that she is good to go " oi oi are you really sure that you've better enough to move? "
Raphtalia nods in excitement " Yup "
" Well in that case let go " Naofumi said as he walks towards the exit in followed by Raphtalia
A lively atmosphere filled the living room as Naofumi approaching Kirito and his party while doing whatever they are doing at this time. Kirito realizes Naofumi and Raphtalia's presence as they entering the living room " oh? morning Naofumi, Raphtalia " as the others realize Naofumi and Raphtalia's presence, they greeted them warmly.
Asuna : " Morning, you two "
Lisbeth : " Oh? Hey there Naofumi-san, Raphtalia-neechan "

Alongside Naofumi, Raphtalia is also warmly responds their greetings " Hi everyone " as Naofumi take a seat on the couch, Kirito began the conversation with steadied look on his face
Kirito : " So Naofumi, you wanna come with us today to town?! "
Didn't expect Kirito's suggestion, Naofumi flinched a bit as he never thought of Kirito would so excitedly about bringing him along to town " wh-so you too wanna head there? "
Kirito nods in agreement responded towards Naofumi, then suddenly Yui excitedly joins the conversation " Papa says we're heading to the festival this evening, it might be wonderful " she says with pumped up tone
" Well, in case of searching for our lost companions we might as well participate then, right Raphtalia? " Naofumi turn his gaze to Raphtalia that take a seat beside him.
Raphtalia cheerfully nod " Hmm that's right Naofumi-sama "
Kirito relievedly smile as his suggestion successfully taken with an agreement " in that cas-" before even Kirito is finished up his words, the sky suddenly turns to crimsonly red as the portals appeared out of nowhere up in the sky, turning the atmosphere reddish in blood while the scenery gloomy changed inside the Kirito's house.
Naofumi shocked as he realizes something familiar are about to happen, he encounter this kind of situation before but he didn't expect to encounter it in this another world, while Kirito and the others are wondering what kind of situation they were in, Naofumi and Raphtalia having an eye to as they expected what is happening right now
" What is this? the atmosphere suddenly changed " Kirito says as he look around the house

Asuna straightly head to Yui and hug her as if she don't want anything happen to her daughter " I got you Yui-chan, stay close to me " she says as she cautiously looks around her, wondering the gloomy atmosphere as well as the others inside the house
Yui immediately hugged Asuna as a frightened expression could be shown through her face " mama...."
Lisbeth : " What's happening exactly? "
Naofumi initiatively dashed towards the exit and straightly look into the sky, the cautious Raphtalia is also pursue him dashed towards the exit, as she witness it, she gasped as couldn't believe it with her own eyes " hah?! T-This can't be right, ain't it?! " Raphtalia ask anxiously
