Well hello everyone my name in this world is Sachi. Don't bother asking my real name, because you aren't going to get it.

Well anyways m

e and Kirito were walking around in the forest at night, doing some leveling, when I don't know who, or why, but someone was screaming. So, we hightailed it in the direction of the screaming. Once we got close enough, I saw that the assailants were three giant monsters. I guess you could say that they looked like giant baboons? They were actually called Drunk Apes.

We silently approached all three of them, slashed them all with our swords and killed them all. Kirito and the others helped me get over my fear of dying.

Once glittering shards had cleared, I got my first look at the girl sitting on the ground. The girl was wearing a dark gold tunic with red trim and armor plates over that.

She also had red eyes, as well light brown hair tied into twin tails with matching red ribbons. She stared up at me with tears in her eyes as I approached her.

"You okay?" I asked as I sheathed my sword.

She continued to stare up at me with tears in her eyes.

"Pina..." was all she said as tears streamed down her cheeks.

We just stood there, unsure of what to say.

"Don't leave me all alone here!" the girl said as she picked up a glowing blue feather that was lying on the ground. "Pina!"

She continued to cry as I looked on at her. "What's that feather?" I finally asked.

She continued crying as she answered. "It's Pina... my best friend," She said.

A shocked, sympathetic expression came onto my face. "You're one of those beast tamers, aren't you?" I asked.

When she didn't respond, I looked down at the ground.

"I'm sorry," Kirito said. "If we had gotten here sooner, we may have been able to save your friend,"

"No, that's all my fault." She said as she continued to cry. "I was stupid to think I could make it through the forest on my own,"

She straightened up and turned back to look at me, tears still in her eyes.

"Thank you for saving me," She said. "You did what you could,"

I stared down at the feather in her hands and a curious thought came to my mind.

"That feather," I spoke as I walked up to her and kneeled onto the ground. "Check to see if it has an item name attached to it,"

She let out a small gasp before doing as I said and tapped the feather. The name "Pina's Heart" popped up. That didn't seem to cheer her up, as she began to cry again.

"Hey, don't cry," Kirito said. "That means if Pina's Heart is still here, there's a chance that you can revive it,"

She looked up at us and her tears faded for a second. "No way, really?" she asked in surprise. We smiled at her.
