. . . Me?

[sleeplessknight]

[nods]

[bluerosestyle]

What happened? We were just walking down the tunnel...

[sleeplessknight]

[shakes her head, pulling away]

Sorry... It's fine. I'm fine.

[bluerosestyle]

[lets her go]

I didn't see anything. But if something you saw here made you feel like that... I'm sorry.

[sleeplessknight]

No! Don't apologize!

[bluerosestyle]

...

Okay. But then... you shouldn't don't do it either.

[sleeplessknight]

[quickly wiping her face]

M-Mm...

[bluerosestyle]

[takes out a handkerchief-- offers it to her.]

At least this place seems straightforward...

[There are two doors again. One of them is glowing, the other one is frozen.]

[sleeplessknight]

[takes it, but then she stops again when they reach the doors.

there is nothing straightforward about this...]

You probably can't go in again, huh.

[bluerosestyle]

[He tries to touch it. This time, a sort of barrier made of numbers and bar codes appears between him and the door]

As expected.

[sleeplessknight]

[I HATE THIS, grabs his hand again to pull him away from the door]

[bluerosestyle]

[??

is pulled away...]

[sleeplessknight]

I'll go.

[GOING!!!


... wait do I need a key for this too]

[bluerosestyle]

[yes you do]

[sleeplessknight]

[stands in front of the door]















I can't go!!!

[bluerosestyle]

[The door glows brighter!!

Even Eugeo notices.]

. . . A-Are you communicating with the door?

[sleeplessknight]

[looks at him, then back at the door]

Am I?!

Ugh... it needs a key. I had the one before from those monsters, but now...

[sleeplessknight]

Do we need to go kill more until one drops another key?

[bluerosestyle]

E--Eh?

You think we need to look for them on purpose?

[sleeplessknight]

W-Well, that's how it'd work if this were a video game, but...

[but I don't want to think of your heart as a video game even though I am clearly already doing it]

[bluerosestyle]

. . . . .

Now that I think of it, that is how Kirito and I raised our object control authority enough to be able to wield the Blue Rose Sword... We never looked for it on purpose, though.

[sleeplessknight]

... Remember when I told you about grinding and farming?

It's like that.

[bluerosestyle]

Huh...?

Really?

[sleeplessknight]

In games, I mean! That's how you raise your levels and get lots of valuable items.
