"Ah.. Ah!!" Kirito shouted and put his both hands on his head
"What is that, Kirito-Kun?" Asuna asks him
***Café in the Mananarena Town***
After parting with Shivata and Kine, Kirito and Asuna visited a café, where they arranged to meet with Argo and Liten. Asuna was eating her cake when Kirito arrived at their table with two coffee on his both hand and handed to Asuna the one
"Those two, I wonder if they are dating." Asuna said referring to Shivata and Kine
"Eh?" Kirito throw a confused look at her
"They look like a couple, didn't you notice it?" Asuna said and take a sip on her coffee "Hmm, the coffee here is different, I like it"
"Hmm? I think so, they look one" Kirito said and take a seat next to Asuna
"Hmm hey, Kirito-Kun.." Asuna blush and was hesitant to ask him something "Hmm are you…"
"Hmm?.. Say it, what is it?" Kirito takes a bit of her cake
"A-Are you d-dating someone?" Kirito quickly looks at Asuna, they both blush, and Asuna look away "H-Hey! Don't think of something, I'm just curious!"
"I'm too busy for the quest and leveling up, I don't have time for that.." Kirito said and Asuna's face lightens up "Yeah, this coffee was great this one taste like café Americano in the virtual world" Kirito continue "However, in this world, I'm thinking what kind of state is that dating?"
"What do you mean? Is there a harassment prevention code right?" Asuna asks "How did the harassment prevention work?"
"Hmm that's a good question, I'm not familiar with that case, however-" Kirito was suddenly shock when Asuna's face seems to faint so Kirito got up and touched her shoulder to help her balance "Asuna wake up! Are you okay"
"I-I'm fine.." Asuna gently pushed Kirito away from him, when suddenly a window popped in "Ehh what is this?" Asuna read it loudly "It's a warning, harassment prevention code. Do you want to activate forced transfer?"
"Ahaha.." Kirito scratched his head and Asuna throw her deadly look at Kirito "Certainly like touching may not be possible, I don't know such thing.." Asuna covered her top using her both arms as if she was protecting herself "Without the relationship, you can do it" He was referring on something intimate "But the conditions are ambiguous" Kirito act like he was thinking
"By the way before this, the transition window didn't come out.." Asuna was confused
"What was the last time?" Kirito takes a bit of his cake
"You remember, In the dungeons in catacombs with our encounter with the PK-Gang duo," Asuna said and Kirito started reminiscence "When we both run away later.." Asuna blushed remembering it "But Kirito-Kun.." She looks away
" Ahh ohh that.." Kirito now remembered the moment that Asuna hugged him
"So if you don't like it your shoulders and head are the same, at that time Kirito-Kun your left hand touched my head while your right hand was on my shoulder.." Asuna thinking
"Yes, hmm it's a mystery. At the time on the 3rd floor when we both sleeping.." Kirito acts like he was thinking that time was when they are both sleeping on the dark elves' camp and the Yofel castle bath "Is it teasing?"
"That's not funny! One when sleeping window even if it is issued buttons, I can't press it. It doesn't make sense!" Asuna stoop up blushing
"Of course, that's it next time let's ask Shivata about this thing" Kirito smiled having a good idea "That guy if he trying to inevitably harassment one of the prevention codes the trigger condition is should it be broken?" Kirito was imagining what will happen if Kine and Shivata tried to be intimate with each other
Asuna quickly picked up the fork and pointed it at Kirito "Stop that thought Kirito-Kun"
"O-Okay understand.." He raised his hand "Hmm.. Few from clues I guess depending on the player the triggering conditions fluctuate or something"
"What matter?" Asuna asks
"In other words, the first meeting between players if harassment the prevention code is it's easy to activate, but one's the relationship deepens I think it will not activate gradually the hurdles it will be raised. I don't know how parameterization does, I don't have any clue" Kirito said
Asuna bowed and Kirito feel like there was a dark aura, Kirito swallowed his saliva he feel dangerous and something was coming so he prepared himself, Asuna was about to punch him when someone came
"Hey!-" They look at the door of the coffee shop and that voice was coming from Argo and she was with Liten
"Asuna-San! I miss you!" Liten jump and quickly hugged Asuna
"You called me?" Argo said to Kirito when she reached their table "You said you had something important story to say, what is it Kii-boy?"
"Of course it's an important one. The Aincrad Liberation Squad was planning to have raid alone on the 5th floor Boss chamber, now we almost understand the reason of that plan" Kirito said "The 5th floor Boss dropped item was the dangerous item for both guilds"
"Drop item?.." Argo said
"You know about that, right?" Kirito said. Argo looks away and crossed his arms
"I'm sorry, but I can't remember when I'm in the information shop I didn't have it. And during Beta Testing 5th floor Boss battle I didn't participate" Argo said
"Ohh really then I'm sorry without shaking I say.." Kirito raised his fork and examine it "Aincrad Liberation Squad was aiming for this" He showed them the fork imagining that fork is the thing the guild is after "The flag"
"Flag? Hmm, I didn't attend that 5th floor Boss raid during Beta Testing however what is that special flag do?" Liten said and sit next to Asuna and ordered a coffee for herself and Argo "Is that flag was super strong drop items that Aincrad Liberation Squad was after that items?"
"As a weapon one of the lowest attack powers for long spears is not too much. However, the true value of that guild flag is the one who wearer equipped this drop item flags on, when you thrust it against the ground, one within a radius of fifteen meters one for all guild members attack and defense pair inhibition it takes a support effect" Kirito explains
"W-What?!" Liten and Argo said in shock
"They have the same reaction with Shivata," Asuna said remembering the reaction of Shivata earlier when Kirito said about the item drop
"That flag is it movable? What about the buff effect time? And, what about the maximum of people?" Argo ask the excitement can be seen on her face
"O-Okay the first answer is half yes the flag from the ground.." Kirito demo the scenario in the fork he raised it on the table "When released the buff will disappear"
"Uhuh.." They nod and look at the fork to understand the items even more
"And when you thrust see you soon buffed, the second answer is I'm raising a flag as long as the third answer is one as a guild member if there is no upper limit" Kirito continue and they nod
"Good day, one of your orders was triple-thick slice roll cake" The NPC waiter man was coming towards them and he was using a troll table, and above it was the roll cake that they ordered. Their gaze diverted to the roll cake and Argo started salivating.
"Hmm.." Argo sit in front of them and take a bite of the rolled cake
