RWBY/Sword Art Online (Discontinued)

Chapter 47: Back to the Forest House

On a snowy night in floor 22 of New Aincrad, Asuna, Leafa, Silica, and Lisbeth work on their homework for school. Silica falls asleep and leans on Asuna.

Asuna: Hey, if you take a nap now, you won't be able to sleep tonight. There's only three days of winter break left, so you should finish your homework. Sinon finished hers before she logged out.

Silica wakes up and yawns.

Silica: I'm so sleepy.

Asuna: Poor thing. Maybe because it's too warm here. I think I should turn the heat down a little bit.

Leafa: Or maybe it's because of them.

Asuna: Oh, I see.

They look and see Kirito asleep on a chair, with Pina and Yui sleeping on his lap. They also see David and Ruby chilling out on the floor.

Asuna: Ever since Kirito, Jack, David, Evelyn, Penny, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang came back from GGO, Kirito was working really hard with the help of Ruby and Penny.

Lisbeth: You mean that thing in Agil's shop for Yui?

Leafa: The mechaphonics thing?

Asuna, Lisbeth, and Silica: Mechatronics.

Leafa: Yeah. Yui really looks adorable being all tiny and sleepy. It makes me want to fall asleep too.

Lisbeth starts yawning and Asuna and Leafa start laughing.

Lisbeth: Yeah, sleep is contagious.

Flashback from December 20th in Agil's shop in the real world...

Andrew: Here you go. You know, you two don't really have to come to a dingy place like this for your date every time. Why not go somewhere more fashionable?

Kazuto: This place seems more fashionable compared to your place in Algade.

Andrew: Grr.

Asuna: I thought it was a nice place.

Andrew smiles.

Kazuto: But it was kind of a rip off.

Andrew: Grrr.

Asuna: But you were living there for free!

Kazuto: That's not even the case.

Andrew starts grinning.

Kazuto: So what's up?

Andrew: Nothing. But when I look at you two, you guys don't look like the assault teams best players.

Kazuto: Same goes for you.

Asuna: So, have you been an MMORPG player for a long time, Agil?

Andrew: I did as a matter of fact. I first met my wife in game. She lived in America at that time, but a year later, we both started running a cafe. You never know what would happen in the real world.

Kazuto: Imagine what Klein would say if he heard that.

Andrew: We were both going to buy two NerveGears, but we could only get one. We both played a game to see who would go first. It's a good thing I won.

Kazuto: I can understand that.

Andrew: I joined the assault team because I had this place. I can't just let my wife run it forever.

Kazuto: My desire to return to my family saved me.

Andrew: I'm sure everyone from the assault team felt the same way. Or maybe all the players in Aincrad. You had some kind of motivation like that too, right Asuna?
