CHAPTER 19 : RESOLVE TO FIGHT

A sadness filled the air in the afternoon ; Yui cried loudly sobbing her beloved dad being taken away by someone she even barely knew, Someone who seemingly threatened the life of Kirito. Melty on her side is trying her best to cheer her up or even comfort her a bit, but that doesn't seems to worked, her sadness had overflowed by the moment her father been carried away to nobody-knew-where the white haired guy gonna take him. 

" Yui-chan its okay we'll get your papa back, trust me. Right now we gotta find Naofumi " Melty is also holding back her tears as she trying to heal Klein's pierced wounds. " As the source of thy power, I command thee to heal this guy's wound, Fast heal " Melty enchants her recovery magic to sealed off Klein's wound, but that doesn't make it any better, the blood still pouring out of his open wound as he still unconsciously lying.

" Fast heal ! "

" Fast heal ! " 

" Fast heal ! "

" I said Fast heal ! " Melty desperately cast her magic but to no avail, the wound still ain't closed as if he is seriously injured with a high level curse spell. Even she doesn't manage to cured his wound Melty put Klein's hand over her shoulder and slightly try to walk while carrying him.

As tears pouring down her cheeks, Melty trying her best to take Klein somewhere safe while Yui carrying an unconscious Firo following her every step. The people around don't seem to cared about what happen to them, not a single person willingly to help them, on the contrary they just staring at them with a sinister look in their eyes as if they feel disgusted after the false charges.

On a certain point, a green-robed guy intercepted her from walking any further, once she reach up to the person's eyes, what joyful tears dropping down her cheeks. It was Naofumi putting on his hood to conceal himself from being notice by the royal armies.

" Melty, Yui come here " Naofumi take Klein's hand out of Melty's shoulder and putting it across his shoulder while whispered and tilt his head slightly to the left, signifying headed into a dark alley. Without any explanation, Naofumi began to move slightly deeper into the alley followed by Melty and Yui from behind.

a long walk deep inside the alley filled with silenced as nobody could cracking the ice after the tragedy they've witnessed earlier. Until a certain point they've reached some kind of an old-massive door stood tall ahead of them. 

Naofumi opened up the door, revealing everyone is already in there. Asuna, Yuuki, Sinon, Leafa, Raphtalia, Lisbeth, Silica, and even Agil is also there, worriedly look towards Naofumi while let Melty and Yui headed inside. Asuna's expression is the most frightened about the current situation.

" Naofumi-san, how is it? Where is Kirito-kun ? " Asuna nervously asked as she trying positively thinking about her beloved husband, wouldn't let her minds going wild

Naofumi upsetly look down in silence while in a loss for words about the tragedy that happened earlier. Either he explained about the situation, Naofumi just giving a nod to Melty signifying to tell her all about it.

Melty staring into Naofumi for a second before bracing herself to tell Asuna the truth. " Asuna-san....Kirito-san is..." Melty look down as her eyes began teary again 

" PAPA LOST THE FIGHT AND GETS TAKEN AWAY BY THE ROYAL ARMIES ! " Yui shouted with a teary eyes gazing into her mother's worried brunet eyes. As soon as everyone heard this, they gasped as they couldn't believed what had Yui told them

" This can't be right, right? " Sinon ask in disbelieved 

Lisbeth : " Tell me this is all wrong... " 

Leafa's eyes began to teary " o-onii-chan.... "

Asuna just stood still as she look into Yui's teary eyes " this can't be...right Yui-chan? " Asuna nervously ask as she began trembling
