It was time both Asuna and Kirito finished with their preparations and getting warmed up for the boss fight, Asuna had bought a small steel breastplate that protected her heart and upgraded it after defeating a couple mobs to get money and resources, Kirito also upgraded her chest plate buying some whitened steel to replace the tin covering her leather chest plate giving it extra strength and durability at the price of added weight. They were ready.
As they walked to the entrance of dungeon Kirito went over the plan "so i'll use my sword to knock their weapons away then you use your rapier to pierce their armor and kill them, we're the backup so when Diabel gives us an order follow it, got all that?", Kirito looked at Asuna who seemed to have something on her mind. " Hey Kirito, why do you fight?", Kirito was taken aback by this question seeing as how out of the blue it was "Why... why do i fight. I guess because i don't want to let this world conquer me, i'm going to stand strong and take on anything that gets in my way till i end up slaying the 100th floor boss, then... then i have something i need to tell my family that i haven't told them in a long time", Asuna didn't answer ,so Kirito went on "i want to tell them 'I love you', ever since i've gotten stuck in this world i've had a lot of time to think on the things that matter to me... any way enough of my rambling why do you fight?", before Asuna could answer they heard a shout "HEY KIRITO!!! WAIT UP!!!" As Kirito turned around she was shocked to see the origin of the voice, It was Klein! "Klein!?! I didn't know you were taking part in the boss fight!" Kirito asked exceedingly confused "were not" Klein explained, "We?" as soon as she said that she saw 5 individuals all running towards them "Yeah remember my friends i told you about, i found them and taught them everything you taught me, and i started up my own guild Fuurinkazan", "What a mouth full" Kirito said jokingly. Asuna was very confused but remained silent letting the two talk, they seemed to know each other. Then out of the blue the man reached his hand out towards Asuna "Hi there! The names Klein and you might be?", "Asuna, it's very nice to meet you, are you Kirito's friend?", "Yeah Kirito taught me the ropes before the death game was announced" Klein explained. "Anyway, why are you here Klein?" Kirito asked seeing Klein was only level 9 and was the strongest member of Fuurinkazan, "Isn't it obvious dummy i knew you would be one of the people to take on the floor boss, with your skills it would crazy for you not to, so i wanted to wish you good luck!", "Ahh i see, well thanks i'll be sure to do my best." Kirito looked behind her "Anyway it's been good seeing you Klein but we gotta catch up with the rest of the raid party" Kirito said running towards the rest of the pack. Asuna was about to follow suit but Klein grabbed her arm "Hey listen, keep an eye out for Kirito, she may be small but she's very talented. But still i don't want anything happening to her, she's a good person so please watch her back for me" to this Asuna smiled and nodded before running after Kirito.
After about an hour of walking through the dungeon the players finally made it to the boss room. It wasn't all bad though, besides walking up a couple flights of stairs Kirito managed to level up to level 12 whilst defeating some mobs in the way there which was nice. And Asuna got a new rapier called the Wind Ferlut she upgraded as much as she could without the use of a blacksmith, equipped it and was ready to try it out. Once the raid party got to the door Diabel gave everyone 10 minutes to rest, eat and go over any last plans they have. Kirito and Asuna sat on a smooth rectangular rock and pulled out some bread. Asuna was less than happy about the bread as it was hard and tasteless "Man i love these things" Asuna looked over to Kirito with a puzzled expression on her face "You actually think these things taste...like... like anything?", "yup, well i do have a secret to making it taste better", As Kirito said this she pulled out a small ceramic jar and placed it in between the two of them "By completing the Hefer strikes back quest in the village before Tolbana you get..." As Kirito explained how she got in it she placed 2 fingers on top of jar and on was a glowing blue ball, Kirito spread it on the breading leaving behind a trail of yellow Cream, As Kirito took a bite into it her face lit up she finished chewing and then said with an innocent and joyful expression "Sweet creamy goodness!". Asuna felt like she had just been shot in the heart with an arrow, Kirito's joyful smile was off the charts on the cuteness scale when she said that. Asuna had been staring at Kirito for a few moments until Kirito snapped her out of it offering some cream which Asuna gratefully accepted. After they were finished they still had 4 minutes left so Kirito decided to pick up on a conversation that ended about an Hour ago "Hey Asuna, you never answered me before. Why do you fight?". It took Asuna a couple moments to answer, "In the real world people have been controlling my life for a long time. I brought a NerveGear and SAO so i could escape and make my own decisions, and even now someones controlling me, confining me in this world, i fight because i don't want to be controlled or lose sight of who i am i want to conquer this world and turn over a new leaf in the real world.", "Beautiful" is all Kirito replied with which made Asuna blush a small amount "Wha-t!?!", "Your reason for fighting is Beautiful, truely" before Asuna could respond Diabel Shouted "EVERYONE, ITS TIME!!!"
