CHAPTER 15.2 - The New Rovia

They arrive at the teleportation gate and Kirito was about to transfer gate activation here on the 4th floor. After accepting the activation the face of Lind and Kibaou greeted them

"I'm the first!" Kibaou said

"Oh really? No, we're equal" Lind said "Thanks for the activation! Leave this to us"

"I'm going the first and fastest person to conquer the place!" Kibaou and Lind run and shout at each other

"Haha those two never change" Kirito look at them and laugh

"Yeah, well being passionate isn't a bad thing," Asuna said and smiled

"Yo! Thanks for your hard work" Agil said when he arrived with Liten and Argo

"Asuna-Sama! I miss you" Liten hug Asuna, she always doing that thing when she saw Asuna for her Asuna was a sister like that she wishes

"You sure took your time Kii-boy," Argo said to Kirito

"Well a lot happened" Kirito scratched his head thinking of the river incident and he blushed when remembered Asuna's happy face when they are in a gondola

"Did something happen with you and Asuna-Chan" Argo malicious looks at Kirito

"Hmm? Nothing really!" He blush "Putting that aside, ever since the city opened more and more players are flooding in for them and our wallet's sake, we should conquer and conquer more places" kirito stopped and remembered Morte "And about the Pk"

"Isn't it about time you take a break too? You're at your limit after clearing the floor Boss" Agil suggested

"Yeah you too Asuna-Sama, you need a break too," Liten said

"You're right," Kirito said and look at Asuna "Are you okay with this too Asuna?"

"Um, oh yeah," Asuna said and smile "It's just for a day"

"Then, I'll take your advice and take a break. If anything happens, contact me" Asuna and Kirito started to walk away from them

***Inn in the Rovia***

"Take your time," The NPC man said after giving the room keys to Kirito

"Thanks" Kirito handed to Asuna a key "Asuna, this is the key to your room. This time, I remember to get a separate room for us"

"T-Thanks.." Asuna said after accepting the key, for her it's okay to share a room with Kirito, beside they already share a room many times

"Let's meet up at that coffee shop at six pm" kirito pointed to the coffee shop in front of the inn

"Sleep well, don't oversleep okay?" Asuna said and about to enter her room

"You too" They occupied rooms 3 and 4, so if there is an emergency they can call each other

When Asuna entered the room she quickly changed her clothes to more comfortable and she look at the bathroom and decided to take a bath

"It feels so good, I wish I could soak in the bathtub," Asuna said while taking a shower, however Kirito in another room was hearing Asuna's moan enjoying having a bath

"Leveling the hearing skills are not good sometimes," He said and tried to cover his ears with the pillows

"This is good for now" After having and changing her clothes she decided to lay on the bed "It's been a while since I slept on a bed too" She hugged the pillow "It's so soft and nice" She was about to fall asleep when she suddenly received a message, she checks it and it comes from Kouki. She change her clothes and when she arrived at the meeting place she saw Kouki waiting in the teleportation gate

"Hey! Kauki-Kun!" Asuna said and approached him "I'm sorry, did I make you wait?"

"Nope you're just in time" Kouki give something to Asuna

"What is this?" Asuna said when she saw that Kouki send her something. Asuna looks at it "It's a map? A Town map"

"It is for the NPC location quest," Kouki said smiling at her

"But why are you giving this to me?" Asuna asks in confused look

"Hey, Asuna" Kouki becomes serious "Do you think.. Do you think you can finish this game? Do you think you can climb at the top of aincrad?" Asuna was shocked after hearing that

"I, um.." She doesn't know what she will say "I don't know to be honest however, I will do my best until I reached the 100th-floor" Kouki look at Asuna, she was smiling

"That's what I want to hear" Kouki smiled at her, "I think I need to leave now, I have a lot of things to do" Kouki didn't let Asuna talk "And by the way, before I forgot, I avoid player name Morte. Let's see each other again sometime" He leaved

"What is that" Asuna was still confused and she decided to hide the map and go back to the inn to take a nap

***Past six pm***

"No way! It's already this time!" Asuna said after checking the clock, oversleep "I got to change! I need to hurry!" She was running leaving the room "Kirito-Kun must be waiting for me" When she arrived at the coffee shop she saw that Kirito are not yet their "I'm glad he is not yet here" She decided to sit while waiting for Kirito

"Asuna!" Kirito was running toward her "I'm sorry I overslept"

"It's okay, I just arrived not too long ago hehe," She said, she doesn't want to know that she has arrived just a seconds ago before he came

"I didn't think I was tired" Kirito touch his head

"It's okay but the dinner will be your treat" Without complaining they go outside to find food and they saw a lot of stalls selling different food in the streets

"Oh! There's stall!" Kirito said starting salivating just looking at the food

"Which should we go?" Asuna has the same reaction as kirito

"Should we try that Panini-ish?" Kirito suggested

"I agree!" Asuna answer, Panini-ish is a kind of Sandwich that is very famous on the 4th floor

"Wait for me here, I'll get-go" When Kirito come back he was two Panini-ish for him, and for Asuna "Sorry for making you wait"

"Thank you" Kirito was about to hand the sandwich to Asuna but Argo suddenly came up from nowhere

"Bad Kii-boy~~"

"Argo-Chan~" Asuna was shocked when Argo suddenly appeared and hug her from the back

"Nyahahah good evening" She smiled at Asuna

"You're good at hiding as usual," Kirito said, he saw that Argo was looking at the sandwich that she was holding "But, these belongs to me and Asuna"

"Asuna-Chan~~ I'm hungry" Argo look at Asuna in puppy face

"You can have mine," Asuna said smiling

"Tss! Fine" Kirito started to walk to buy another one for Argo

"Wait! I want pizza with a lot of cheese on top of it" Argo requested. Kirito sight and buy a pizza for her

"This is good," Kirito said complementing the sandwich they are now sitting on the bench while eating

"Oh before I lost it in my mind, can you look at this" Asuna give Kirito the map that Kouki give to her

"The Town map," Argo said while looking at the map

"This is not just an ordinary map, it is a quest map. Where did you get this Asuna?" Asuna just make a peace sign and didn't answer "Oh! I found it!" Argo and Asuna look at Kirito

"Eh?"

"Just as I expected. There is a quest that's not there during the Beta" Kirito said "this map was very informative" Kirito look at Asuna "Prepared for tomorrow"

"O-Okay?" She looks at him in confusion
