Fatal Bullet (Various x Female Reader)

Chapter Thirty-Nine (Death Gun)

        We stood around Kirito's place. Everyone that didn't go with us waiting for the news.

"I asked Daisy if she knew anything, but she came up blank just like Hikaru did." Zeliska stated.

"We ArFA-sys units come with translation functionality in order to utilize the SBC Flugel's various systems. However, with respect to the ship's internal structure, I unfortunately have no functional memory banks left and as such know very little, as well." Daisy explained and Klein sighs, folding his arms.

"That's a shame. But if Daisy says it, it must be true!" He exclaims, causing Hikaru to glare at him.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!" Hikaru yelled at Klein. Asuna looked over at me while the two argued.

"I tried looking into it myself, but since the update is so fresh and the ship is the latest frontier, I didn't come across much." I sighed and Sinon shrugged as well.

"There's too much bad info mixed in with everything else to know what's really true and what isn't. That's part of the fun of being in on the ground floor of new content, but yeah..." Sinon stated after what Asuna had said. Intel... Intel... Argo!

"What if Argo has something for us?" I asked and Kureha's eyes lit up.

"She could know something, that's true! I'm gonna go pay her a visit!" Kirito tried to stop her.

"Wait! Argo is expensive!" He runs after her as she leaves the apartment. I laugh softly, looking back at my remaining friends. Sinon chuckles as well.

"And off they go... Something seems to have really lit a fire in Kureha." Sinon noted and I nodded in agreement.

"She seems like she's in a much better mood than the other day." Zeliska side-eyed Itsuki.

"I noticed that too. She's been really enjoying herself on this quest. Wouldn't you agree, Itsuki?" She asked Itsuki. He glanced back at her before folding his arms into his chest.

"Yeah, definitely. The prospect of us being first and beating out the other players to the mainframe probably has her really motivated." He then looks over at me.

"You better hurry up before she leaves you behind, (Y/N)." I gasp when I realize he's right. I managed to catch up to Kureha and Kirito right as they got to Argo. I look between the two of them.

"Man you guys are fast when you're determined." Argo laughs.

"I knew you guys'd be back sooner or later. I can tell by tha look on yer faces that yer starvin' for intel!" She glances over at Kirito and I.

"And I see ya brought ol' Kii-boy with ya too! That'll be an extra fifty percent as yer friend price!" Kirito flinches.

"C-C'mon now, Argo, that's a little steep don't you think?" He exclaims nervously. Argo laughs.

"Well, ya did bring (Y/N) too, so I guess I could lower it down to thirty percent." Kirito looks over at me like I'm a lifesaver. I only sweatdrop.

"Thanks, Argo!" I smile brightly at her. Kureha looks back to Argo.

"We'll pay it!" Kirito and I look over at her in shock.

"What? We have to do whatever it takes to get to the mainframe first! We're on the frontlines of the latest content after all." She explains to the two of us. Argo sighs as she looks back at us.
