The Blade and Arrow

Chapter 3

After I spoke those words, Sinon's eyes widened in shock. I tilted my head. "Miss Sinon?" I asked. Kirito chuckled softly. "She's familiar with the horrors. She didn't play the game but heard of it." He told me. I gave a soft nod. "Anyways, what brings you out here?" Asuna asked, referring to the field we're in. "Well I heard the sounds of battle so I ran over. And I usually use these areas to farm gold and boost my skills." I told her. Kirito nodded. "Just like old times?" I turned pale. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said it like that." I shook my head. Memories of that time were never pleasant. I wasn't lucky like Kirito, who had found love in that game. I didn't find love. But, I am lucky to see that Kirito was blind to others feelings towards him. Asuna, Lizbeth, Silica, and Sugu all have romantic feelings towards him. However, Sinon, she was different. She didn't have the same look in her eyes towards Kirito. She seemed to be the only one who didn't save me and Klein. Then again, Klein was older and still single. Sinon seemed to be distracted by something. But what I couldn't tell. I adjusted my sword which was shouldered on my back. "Anyways, we're going to go face a boss, wanna join us?" Lizbeth told me. I gave a soft nod. "Might help to have a two handed heavy weapon user to deal more damage." I replied. Sinon giggled. "We do enough damage as is, but I don't see how a little more wouldn't help." She said. I gave a soft nod and smiled softly. I put my helmet back and lower the visor. "Lets go. Time is ticking and I haven't eaten much this morning. So my sisters will force me to eat again."
