Forever By Your Side (Kirito x Reader)

Illusionary Avenger

"I...No wait...We never actually saw a thing." Kirito said and (Y/n) catches on.

"You're right! We just thought we did. But we actually saw something else." (Y/n) said after she was finished with her meal. Asuna looked at the two still confused.

"There never was a weapon or any kind of logic that would allow killing within the safe-zones!" Kirito finishes and (Y/n) nodded.

Asuna looks at the two and thought 'These two...it's like they have the same thoughts for everything and they know what the other is going to say before they say it...'

Floor 19: Cross Hill

There a huge fog that surrounded a forest. Schmitt was in front a tree no...A grave.

"Griselda..." He mumbles, "The only way I can be saved now is if forgive me." He looks at the grave, "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry! Forgive me, Griselda! I never imagined that something like that would happen!"

"Really?" A ghostly voice said and his eyes widen. "Really? Really?"

A shadow figure race towards him and he turned to see....A bunny. (Is it just me or did you guys laughed at that part cause I did😂) He sighed with relief but once he turned a black figure was in front of him. He gasped with horror.

"What did you do to me?" It asked. "What did you do, Schmitt?" It was a female and she revealed the same spear that killed Kains.

He bowed. "I... I only...The day we decided to sell the ring, a note and crystal just appeared in my belt pounch, and there were instructions..."

"From who, Schmitt?" A male voice asked. "Who were those instructions from?"

Schmitt looks up to see another black figure. "Grimlock? You're dead too?"

"Who?" He asked again. "Who have you these orders?"

"I don't know! That's the truth! The note just said to bind the crystal to the room where Griselda was staying so they could enter, and then to put the crystal in the guild's shared storage..."

"And?"

His eyes widen and bowed. "That's all I did! I really never meant to help them with the murder. Believe me...Please!" He cried.

There was a moment of silence until a familiar voice said, "We recorded all of that, Schmitt."

He looks up to Yolko and Kains alive.

"Th-They're alive?" Asuna asked the two.

(Y/n) nodded and Kirito said, "Yeah, they're alive. Both Kains and Yolko."

"B-But..."

"Inside safe-zones, player HP basically never drops. But a object's durability will. Just like that sandwich I gave Kirito." (Y/n) explains.

"Huh?"

"That day, Kains's armor was pierced by that spear. The spear was draining the armor's durability, not Kains's HP." Kirito said.
