Author's POV


After Yuuki got discharge from the hospital, Y/n take her home to his house along with Shino. She decides to move-in with Y/n.

Rita: "Welcome, Yuuki-sama. Shino-sama."

Shino: "Hello again, Rita."

Yuuki: "Hi Rita!"

Rita: "I've already prepared and clean up your rooms. Please follow me."

The two of them followed Rita upstairs to their new room.

Yuuki: "Hey Rita, where's Onii-chan?"

Rita: "Y/n-sama is currently at his office as we speak. He's in a meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan."

Yuuki: "Wow.... Is Onii-chan running for Prime Minister now?"

Rita: "No. He's just having a friendly chat with the Prime Minister about Y/n-sama's cure saved the Prime Minister's niece."

Then they first to arrive to Yuuki's room.

Rita: "This will be your room, Yuuki-sama."

She opens the door and saw a bed that would fit three people, a balcony, a dresser, a closet, a bathroom, bookshelves, T.V and her own computer.

Yuuki: "Wow!"

Rita: "Y/n-sama created and assemble your computer by himself. So there will be no lag, no fps drops and no viruses can enter. It also has a 32gb RAM and 10tb storage."

Yuuki: "COOL!!"

She immediately run to her new computer and start browsing online.

Rita: "Enjoy your time, Yuuki-sama."

She and Shino walk out of Yuuki's room and went to check on Shino's room.

Rita: "How are you and Y/n-sama are doing?"

Shino: "We're doing fine. He's been helping me study on his office every time I visit him there."

Rita: "You already know that Y/n-sama's grades were all A+ right? He's still continue studying to help you."

Shino: "Really?"

Rita: "Now don't tell him that I told you this. He wanted to not anyone know what he does in his free time."

Shino: "But, I thought Y/n's free time is every time I visit him in the office."

Rita: "True. But Y/n-sama always find a way to make a new free time."

They continue walking down the hallway until they arrived to Shino's new room. Rita opened the door and Shino was astonished when she saw her room.

Shino look on the other side of the room and saw her own personal computer.

Shino(Shock): "Is that my own computer?!"

Rita: "Hai. Y/n-sama created it and assemble it by himself with more advance specs. And this is your new phone that Y/n-sama made."

She handed her a box and Shino opens it and was shock when saw her new phone.

Shino(Shock): "This is my phone!?"

Rita: "Hai. A twin touch screen phone. You can also open different application on each screen."

Shino start to inspect her new phone and was shock to see how smooth and fast it was.

Shino: "This phone is amazing."

Rita: "And that phone can only be activated by you, using a finger scanner or face recognition."

Shino: "How did Y/n got my finger scan?"

Rita: "Y/n-sama has his ways."

Shino look back to her phone and opened her Facebook. She saved some pictures of herself and Y/n together and use it as a wallpaper top, while a solo picture of Y/n is on the button.

Rita: "Please excuse me, Shino-sama. I still need to take care of personal things."

Shino: "Alright. Thank you Rita."

Rita bow down before leaving the room and closing the door behind her. Shino looks around her new room and went to the balcony to check out the view.

Shino: "What did I do to deserve Y/n?"



Time Skip brought to you by


Kirito and the others just finished participating one the Ordinal Scale event and they're hanging back at Andrew's shop.

Klein: "Those monster really do look like the SAO boss floor."

Kazuto: "Yeah. And the patters different."

Suguha: "Maybe if Y/n and Shino were with us, the Boss would have dead already."

Rika: "Speaking of which, I wonder where those two are."

???: "Well, Shino is still probably unpacking some of her stuff."

They look behind them and saw Y/n.

Kazuto: "Hey man, we barely see you anymore. What were you planning?"

Y/n: "Nothing much. Just getting some of my sleep back. So how was the first event of OS?"

Asuna: "It was alright. Though there were many newbies but it was fun."

Keiko: "How about you and Shino join us tomorrow?"

Y/n: "I don't think I can, I still have some work to do. But I think Shino will come with you guys tomorrow."

Asuna: "Alright. I'll go back to ALfheim and asked Yuuki again to join us too."

Y/n: "Oh, I already told her. She and Shino will come with you guys."

Asuna: "Really!? How did you convince her?"

Y/n: "I just told her. Anyway, I need to get back to work now. I got a lot of paperwork to put on the shredder here."

Suguha: "Uh... here?"

Y/n: "Oh right. I'm not actual here. This is just a hologram of myself. The real me is in the office."

Everyone(Shock): "HUH?!"

Rika(Shock): "How is that possible!?"

Y/n: "Take off your Augma off."

They did what he said they didn't saw Y/n anywhere. The put their Augma back again and they saw him standing in front of them.

Kazuto: "Wow.... That's amazing."

Rika walk towards Y/n and her hand just went through him.

Rika: "That's so cool."

Y/n: "Anyway, after I'm done with paperwork, I'll try to catch up with you guys. See yeah."

He disappeared, still leaving everyone in shock.

Klein: "Man, Y/n can now go anywhere without leaving his office. I wonder what will he do next, fly in real life?"

Kazuto: "Don't jinx it."

???: "Hey guys."

They look by the door and saw Shino wearing an OS uniform along with Yuuki.

Kazuto: "Hey Shino. Who's this?"

Yuuki: "Oh, I'm Yuuki Konno. Nice to meet you all."

Shino: "She's Yuuki in ALfheim, also known as Zekken."

Everyone(Shock): "EEEEEHHHH?!"

Asuna(Shock): "Your really Yuuki?!"

Yuuki: "Yup! The guild master of the Sleeping Knights! Nice to finally meet you Asuna!"

She offered her a handshake but Asuna just hugged her tightly. Yuuki was confuse but she just hug her as well.

Kazuto: "So Y/n convince you to come huh?"

Yuuki: "Yeah. Onii-chan says I can finally spar with him in ALfheim!"

Everyone: "Onii-chan?"

Shino: "Y/n adopted Yuuki and she's now his little sister."

Everyone(Shock): "EEEEHHH?!"

Shino: "Yuuki is Y/n's childhood friend and he always visit her on the children's hospital."

She then tells them that Yuuki had cancer, that's why Y/n was desperate to find the cure for her.

Klein: "Wow... I guess Y/n didn't just did this for the others."

Rika: "He did it to save his sister."

Yuuki: "So, when are we going to the next event?"

Kazuto: "It's still in the next two hours. We're just taking a break for now."

Shino: "Y/n said that the Boss event is the SAO floor boss. I wanna try fighting it too."

Klein: "Gun can now be used here. Are you going to use that?"

Shino: "Yup. I got a new custom Barret M82."

She opens her HUB and equip her sniper rifle to show it to them.

Keiko: "Wow! It's so pretty!"

Rika: "It's so pink! The gold design looks like a jewelry."

Suguha: "There's an anime figure by the scope and a beautiful rose inside the gun too!"

Kazuto: "Did you customized it on your own?"

Shino: "No. I had Y/n to help me design it."

Klein: "Looks really expensive."

Asuna: "Yeah. How much did it cost?"

Shino: "Don't know. Y/n's the one who paid for it and he didn't want me to pay for it."

Rika: "How about you  guys join us while we wait for the next event."

Yuuki: "Sure, I could eat."

Shino: "Yeah me too."

Kazuto and Asuna move over to let Shino and Yuuki sit. Then Andrew and three of his employee walk towards their table with food.

Kazuto: "Huh? We didn't order this."

Andrew: "It's from Y/n. He said that you guys might be hungry and he already paid for it."

They set all the food on their table.

Klein: "Thanks Y/n!"

They start to eat while Andrew and his employee went back to the kitchen to get their drinks.

Employee1: "So they're Y/n-san's friend?"

Andrew: "Yeah. Most of them met him in SAO along with me. And the others are on the other games."

Employee2: "Then I'm guessing that he met that girl with a gun in GGO huh?"

Andrew: "Yeah. That's his girlfriend."

Employee1/2(Shock): "EH?! His girlfriend?!"

Andrew: "Yeah. They've been dating for at least, six months I think. Anyway, let's get back to work we still go many more orders."

Employee1/2: "Yes sir!"

Y/n's POV


I'm heading to the event to meet Shino and the others. I park my car on the parking lot and grab my Augma and put it on.

I start looking for Shino and I saw her along with the others waiting for the event to start.

Y/n: "Looks like I made it."

Shino: "Y/n!"

She run towards me and hug me.

Shino: "You came!"

Y/n: "I got nothing else to do anyway. So you guys ready?"

Kirito: "Is that what your going to where?"

I look down and saw that I'm still in my suit.

Y/n: "Oh. I'll just take my coat off."

I take off my coat and put it on a bench.

Klein: "That might get lost."

Y/n: "If it does, I got plenty more."

Asuna: "But what about your phone and wallet and keys?"

Y/n: "My phone and wallet are on the car. And I don't need keys on my car because I already have it finger, facial and voice recognition."

I open my HUB and activated my Avatar.

Kirito: "Your using your GGO avatar?"

Redgrave: "Yeah. With more modified. I can use guns and sword at the same time."

Klein: "Your Yamato?"

Redgrave: "No. I made my own new sword."

I open my inventory and equip my sword and guns.

Silica: "That's one creepy skull sword."

Liz: "The texture and design of it is amazing! A two handed double edge sword!"

Kirito: "So, what do you call that sword?"

Redgrave: "I call it, Rebellion."

Shino: "And your using Ebony and Ivory too?"

Redgrave: "Yeah. I wanted to mix these together."

Announcement: "Alright everyone! The Ordinal Scale is about to start!"

The timer start to countdown and the whole city starts to reformed into a medieval scene.

Redgrave: "You guys ready?"

I said as I spin my guns around my finger.

Kirito: "Yup!"

Shino: "Always!"

Asuna: "Let's do this!"

Yuuki: "I'm so excited!"

Then I saw Yuna flying on the drone stage, ready to perform.

Yuuki: "Why is she singing?"

Redgrave: "She's performing so she can give everyone a bonus attack damage. Remember, Yuuki. You can't use your sword skill in ALfheim here. So you can't use your Mother Rosario skill."

Yuuki: "I know that already."

When the timer hits Zero, a pillar of flame emerge from the ground and a giant Samurai boss appeared on it.

Redgrave: "Death Samurai. This looks like a blast."

Shino: "What does it do?"

Redgrave: "It has great attack power. And it summons a serpent to attack the long range attackers."

Kirito: "So what's the plan?"

Redgrave: "Kill it or lose EXP, your choice. Oh, and I also forget, it summon bats to distract it's enemies."

Asuna: "What?! I don't remember that back in SAO!"

Redgrave: "Duh, I put it there. I created the OS Cardinal remember? Of course I made some adjustments for the Boss since there will be many players trying to fight it. So Good luck."

I saw many amateur just charge to the Boss like bunch of idiots. The Boss swings it sword at them, killing them in one hit.

The players got hit went back to their regular clothes, indicating that they're out.

Redgrave: "Such an eyesore."

I grab Ebony and Ivory and start shooting at it. The Boss summons it's serpent and it heading towards me but I jump out of the way, hitting the unlucky guy behind me.

Player: "Hey what the hell man!?"

Redgrave: "It's not my fault your standing there, Deadweight!"

The Boss's serpent starts chasing me as I grab sword and parried it. The Boss charge at me and we both clash blades, knocking everyone away from us.

Kirito: "Redgrave!"

I noticed that he and Asuna are behind the Boss, attack it's back. I shove his sword away and slash it's torso before jump back.

The Boss was about to attack to me again but someone shoot it on the head, making it stumble back. I look behind and saw Sinon by the bridge, shooting the Boss with her M82A1 Sniper.

She nodded at me and I nod back before charging to the Boss again. The Boss was going to slash me with its sword but I counter it.

Redgrave: "Switch!"

Kirito and Asuna jump on top of me and slash the Boss at the torso.

Kirito/Asuna: "Switch!"

Liz and Silica went to the side of the Boss and attack it. The Boss was about to slash them, but Sinon shoot the sword to redirect it, missing them.

After that, the Boss starts to roar, knocking everyone back. It raised both of it's hands and bats starts to fly above the sky."

Asuna: "Redgrave! How do we counter it!?"

Redgrave: "It's either fight it or take cover."

I brought out my guns and starts shooting it along with the others. Some where just swinging their sword around while had their eyes close.

Redgrave(Mind): "I don't remember making these bats blind the player."

I look towards Sinon and saw her having a hard time shooting at the bats, so I run towards her to help her.

Redgrave: "Figured you could use a hand."

We start shooting at the bats and I noticed that the Boss is glaring at me. I look above it and saw many bats are heading towards me.

Redgrave: "Guess I pissed him off real bad."

I start to run away from Sinon as the swarm of bats followed me. I saw the end of the bridge is blocked so I jump down but the bats gain up on me. I grab my sword and gun and starts slashing and firing while spinning really fast.

Redgrave: "WOHOHOHOOO!!"

After I landed, all the bats are not gone my gun is now steaming hot from that rapid fire.

Redgrave: "Now that's free style."

I spin my gun before putting it back to the holster. I look around and most of them were looking at me with shock face. The Boss roar made them back to reality that the event is still going.

The Boss stab it's sword on the ground and red indicator starts to appear on random player. After a second, a pillar of flame appeared under that player, killing him from the game.

Then another red indicator appeared on another player and he was able to jump out of the way before the flame pillar could kill him.

I charge at the Boss, and stab Rebellion at it's chest, making it stop it's attack. The Boss stands up forcing me to let go of my sword as it's still stab on it's chest.

Redgrave: "Liz! I need a boost!"

Liz: "Got it!"

I start to run towards her and jump on top of her shield. She boosted me up and I kick Rebellion deeper to the Boss's chest, that it pierce through it's back.

I run behind it to get my sword back. Then everyone else decide to charge at the Boss while it's weak.

I walk back with the others and just watch everyone else kill the Boss.

Klein: "Your not going to get the final blow?"

Redgrave: "Nope. The Reward is a couple of tickets for Yuna's concert. And I'm already at the VIP seat."

Silica/Leafa/Liz: "EH?! YOU ALREADY GOT A VIP TICKET?!"

Klein: "I didn't know that there's a VIP ticket."

Asuna: "That's because there isn't. The VIP seat is only available for Y/n-kun."

Redgrave: "Actually, they got it reserve for me, Shino and Yuuki. But I talked to them that I'm bringing you guys to the VIP section as well."

Leafa/Silica/Liz: "REALLY?!"

Redgrave: "Yeah. I asked Rita and Phoenix if they want to come, but they got their own plans."

Leafa/Silica/Liz: "THANK YOU SO MUCH Y/N!"

Redgrave: "Yeah, yeah. Let's just get this over with."

We look back at the Boss and saw only few inches of life remaining on it's health bar. The Boss sweeps it's sword around, knocking everyone back and killing the others got hit by the sword.

Redgrave: "Alright. Bring it on. This is what I live for."

I grab my guns from the holster and starts to spin them around before aiming it to the Boss.

Redgrave: "And I'm absolutely crazy about it!"

I starts shooting at the Boss and the other long range user shoots at the Boss as well. I look to my side and saw Sinon aiming her sniper at the Boss's head.

Sinon: "Jackpot."

She fired her sniper to the Boss, destroying it's head completely. The Boss turned into pixels before announcing the killing blow.

Redgrave: "That's why I love you."

She blushed a little and I put my guns back to my holster. Then a list of names appeared in front of everyone on who gets the most score. Of course I'm at the first place and Sinon is on the last place since she did the killing blow.

Then Yuna's small flying stage float down in front of us and she jumps off of it.

Yuna: "Congratulations on dealing the final blow Sinon!"

She was about to kiss Sinon on the lips but I block her with my hand.

Redgrave: "I think 'Congratulations will be enough, Yuna."

Yuna: "I was just playing, Y/n."

Redgrave: "Don't call me that in public."

Yuna: "Anyway, Dad told me to invite you to dinner later. And you can bring Sinon and your little sister too."

Redgrave: "To where?"

Yuna: "To our house. Two hours from now."

Redgrave: "Alright, we'll be there."

Yuna: "Great! See you there!"

She hops back to her flying stage and fly back somewhere. I look around and saw some players are whispering that I know Yuna and I'm going to her house but I don't really care.

Redgrave: "Well, you heard what she said. Let's go home."

Kirito: "Yeah. Thanks for coming man."

Asuna: "See you guys soon."

Me, Sinon and Yuuki went to the bench to get my coat back and we headed to the parking lot. Yuuki sits on the back while Shino is on the passenger seat and I went to the driver seat and drove us back home.



Time Skip brought to you by


Me, Yuuki and Shino are driving to Yuuna's house for dinner because her father invited us. And I'm guessing that he wants to talk about something.

Yuuki: "Do I really have to wear this kinda dress? It's not used to wearing it!"

Y/n: "You just need to be a little formal."

Shino: "Don't worry Yuuki, you'll get use to it."

Yuuki: "I really wish I don't.... But I know this won't be the last time."

We arrived at Yuuna's house and I saw her, Eiji and her Father waiting by the front door. I stop the car in front of them and we walk out of the car.

Tetsuhiro: "Welcome Y/n-san. And thank you for coming."

Y/n: "Thank you for inviting us."

The Butler walk towards me and I handed him the car key and he drive my car to the parking lot.

Tetsuhiro: "Please follow me to the dining hall."

We all followed him inside his home and we look around the interior decorations.

Tetsuhiro: "I watch your performance at the event, Y/n-san. And it was very unbelievable."

Y/n: "I have a lot of training on my spare time."

Eiji: "How did you spin that fast without getting dizzy?"

Y/n: "Just need to focus really hard."

After walking to the hallway, we arrived at the dining hall with a huge table that would probably fit 25 people.

Me, Shino and Yuuki sits on the right side of the table while Tetsuhiro, Yuuna and Eiji sits in front of us. The maids and butlers starts putting different kinds of dishes on the table.

Tetsuhiro: "We prepared all the different dishes from a five-star restaurant. Please, enjoy."

We start to eat the served dishes and I gotta admit, they are delicious.

Yuuki: "Wow! I've never tasted something like this before!"

Shino: "Me too. This are delicious."

Tetsuhiro: "I'm really glad that you all like it. I hired five executive chefs to prepare our dinner."

Y/n: "So what's the occasion, Tetsuhiro-san?"

Tetsuhiro: "Nothing, It's just a weeksary of OS. And as well to celebrate your performance on fighting Death Samurai."

Y/n: "If I could use my skill back in SAO, it would have been just a walk in a park."

Eiji: "I wouldn't be surprise if your the Top 1 in the leaderboard right now."

Tetsuhiro: "He is. And next to him is Sinon."


Author's POV


=DICEY CAFE=


Kazuto and the others are celebrating because they made in the top 10 in the leader board of OS.

Andrew: "So where's Y/n and Shino? They're in the top one."

Asuna: "Yuna invited them to their house for dinner and he accepted it."

Klein: "I wonder if that's a good thing, or a bad thing."

Kazuto: "Y/n said he's already move on, so they're good friends now."

Andrew: "So do you guys got tickets for Yuna's concert? It's already sold out."

Kazuto: "We don't have a ticket."

Andrew: "You guys got sold out huh?"

Asuna: "Nope. Because we got VIP tickets!"

Andrew: "VIP tickets? I didn't know they have that."

Kazuto: "They do but they don't sell it. Only Y/n, Shino and Yuuki has a VIP ticket, and Y/n invited us too."

Andrew: "Wow. You guys are lucky. Front row seat of the concert, everyone would kill for that position."

Asuna: "Y/n invited you and your wife to the VIP seat too."

Andrew: "No way, really?! My wife's going to be thrilled! She's been a huge Yuna fan since her debut and won't stop singing her songs."

Suguha: "So I'm guessing that she'll wearing the same costume as Yuna huh?"

Andrew: "You had to jinx it."



Time Skip brought to you by


Next week will be Yuna's first concert and tickets are already sold out and many were disappointed that they didn't get to watch.

Right now, Kirito and the others are back at the park for the next event of Ordinal Scale.

Asuna: "It's almost time for the event, where could Y/n, Shino and Yuuki be?"

Kirito: "I'm sure they'll be here."

Leafa: "Man, there's a lot of people here huh?"

Liz: "Now that you mention it, your right."

Silica: "Maybe they want to try fighting SAO Boss too."

Liz: "Or, they want to get some freebees on some restaurant."

Klein: "Don't know about you guys, but there's been a rumor that there's a special performance tonight's event."

Silica: "A guest singer?"

Klein: "Pretty much."

Leafa: "I wonder who it is."

Silica: "Do you guys think it's LiSA?"

Asuna: "No. She's a big hit and its impossible to be a guest singer here."

Kirito: "Guess we'll just have to wait and see."

As all of them are waiting, the saw Sinon and Yuuki walking towards them.

Sinon: "Sorry we're late guys."

Asuna: "No you just made it on time."

Liz: "Where's Y/n?"

Sinon: "He said he can't come. He has something important to handle first."

Leafa: "That's too bad."

Silica: "Hey Sinon, what's that on neck? Looks like a bite mark."

Her eyes widen and blushes and tries to covered the mark with her sleeves.

Yuuki: *Smug*"Onii-chan give her love hickeys before we left."

Sinon(Blush): "Y-Yuuki!"

Asuna: "Oh?~ So Y/n's giving you love hickeys now huh?~ I wouldn't be surprise if you two are now sleeping in the same bed.~"

Sinon(Blush): "N-No we're not yet. We agreed that he'll let me graduate from school first."

Liz: "Oh hoho.~ I think I know what happens next. And your not only graduating from school.~"

They girls won't stop teasing Sinon about the next step of her and Y/n's relationship.

Kirito: "Hey guys, the event is about to start."

They look at the timer and saw only a minute left. Then Yuna appeared along with her flying mini-stage.

Yuna: "Hello again everyone!"

Everyone cheered at her greet.

Yuna: "Tonight! We've got a special performer that will increase everyone's stats by 50%!"

Klein: "Wow. That's pretty high."

Leafa: "Yeah. That's pretty neat to burst users."

Everyone cheered again as another flying mini-stage covered in sheet float beside Yuna.

Yuna: "Now with out further a do! Let's give it up for the Ordinal Scale's Top one player! REDGRAVE!!"

She pulled the sheet off, revealing Redgrave holding a purple literally electric guitar. Kirito as well as the others were shock that the guest star is Y/n.

Leafa(Shock): "Y/n's the guest singer?!"

Yuuki: "Yup! Onii-chan even wrote his own song!"

Sinon: "And it's really amazing."

They all look back at Y/n and stand on top of the railing as everyone, mainly girls, starts to scream on top of their lungs.

Redgrave: "This party's getting crazy. LET'S ROCK!"

As Redgrave starts to perform, the Boss appeared and everyone charge at the Boss together.

Klein: "Holy shit! I never thought Y/n could sing like that!"

Kirito: "Yeah. That's gotta hurt throat after."

Asuna: "Come on guys, let's fight the Boss and not waste the buff."

Everyone: "YEAH!"

Then soon after, they charge at the Boss.
