-At  October 14, 2026, Saturday 9:30 A.M-

As Dekarusu and the others were preparing to on a journey to the Rulid Village and to obtain this "Divine Object".... they was ready to go but.....

"All right then! Yuuki you're ready?" Dekarusu said

"I'm ready Dekarusu~Kun!" Yuuki said

"Akira and Soma! You two are ready?"

"Yep!" Akira said

"Ready Sumisu!" Soma said

"Kazuto and Asuna! You two are ready?" Dekarusu said as he looked on his phone and seeing the two of them on FaceTime.

"Born ready man!" Kazuto said

"Yeah!" Asuna said

"Cool! We'll meet Alice and the others at the park at 10 o'clock sharp." Dekarusu said

"Gotcha!" Asuna and Kazuto said as they hanged up

"Let's go guys."

As Dekarusu and the others were heading out.... but two people had approached them

"Hey you four...."

Dekarusu and the gang stopped as they heard Aoi's voice

"Where your guys are going?!" Aoi said as Aiko joined in

"And why are you guys are packed up too?" Aiko added

"Um.....? We're going..... um......?!" Yuuki tried to come up with an excuse

"We're just gonna go do something big bro." Dekarusu said

"Uh-huh!~ Like you guys going to Rulid Village with your new friends Huh?!" Aoi said as he'd knew about their plan

"Wha?! How'd you know?!~

"Blame Akira and Soma for mentioning "A Divine Object" so many times for the past 2 days." Aiko said as Dekarusu and Yuuki gave them a "seriously look"

"You two can't be serious?!" Dekarusu said

"You two can't keep anything to yourselves for anything?!" Yuuki added

"Sorry! We didn't know they would actually believed us?!" Akira and Soma said in unison

"But you shouldn't say anything about it though you two mega colossal idiots!" Dekarusu said

"And what's this "Divine Objects" anyway?" Aoi said

"Well.... it's something that Alice had told us about.... and it's really rare....." Dekarusu said

"Hmm? It's really rare huh?!" Aoi said

"Well we can't let you guys go!" Aiko said

"Why not?!~

"We're not letting you guys go without us!" Aiko said as she grabbed her and Aoi's bags of stuff

"Sweet!" Akira and Soma said in unison

"And besides this "Divine Objects" sounds really important." Aoi said

"Alright! We'll meet up with the others at the park~

"By a vehicle or by foot?" Aiko said

"Um by foot to the park and then a vehicle." Yuuki said

"Ok then." Aiko said as they all finally leaves the house and headed towards the park

-At the park-

As Kazuto and Asuna just made it on time as Dekarusu and the others did, they were surprised of how Aiko and Aoi are with them

"Hey guys~ Huh?! Why're Aiko and Aoi are here with you?!" Kazuto said

"Blame Akira and Soma for blowing it!" Dekarusu said

"Of course with those two...." Kazuto said

"You can say that again."

"We're right here!!!" Akira and Soms said

"We literally know that." Dekarusu said. "So anyway we're here now and we don't see Alice and the others yet." Dekarusu said

"They did say they was coming with a vehicle~

"Hey look at that!!"

As Yuuki saw a limousine just ahead and it stopped at the Park Gate. Then as the window pulled down and Alice appears

"Woah! Alice! You didn't tell me that you had a limousine?! This is amazing!" Dekarusu was shocked

"Hehehe.... it's not like we're famous or anything. We have regular vehicles too." Alice giggles

"If that's so?!" Yuuki said

"Yep. Come on in guys." Alice said as she opens the door and everyone enters in the Limousine. And they were headed towards Rulid Village.

"Hey Deku? I noticed there new few people here." Alice said

"Aw right! Alice, Eugeo, Ronye and Tiese. Meet my older cousin Steve Aoi and my friend and also Yuuki's older sister named Aiko Konno. And Big bro Aoi and Aiko. These are our new teammates and friends at school. This is Alice Zuberg, Eugeo, Ronye Arabel and Tiese Shtolienen." Dekarusu introduces the others

"It's really nice to meet some of lil bro's new friends in school Huh?!" Aoi said

"Likewise." Alice said

Then after they enjoyed the ride and getting to know each other a whole lot more than ever. They finally reached Rulid Village and they reached inside of the village

"Wow! So this is the Rulid Village Huh?" Yuuki said

"It's a good looking village." Dekarusu said

"Huh?! I thought it'll be like a bigger picture but it's cool." Kazuto said

"It's really nice and lovely." Asuna said

"The Water Fountain looks really clean!" Akira and Soma said in unison

"The people's clothes are really different than ours?" Aiko questioned

"Well they are from a village instead of a town or a city." Aoi said as they heard someone called out Alice's name

"Alice!!!"

"Hm? Oh Selka!" Alice said as Selka gave Alice a warming hug

"I can't believe you're back already Alice." Selka said

"Yes it was." Alice smiles at her little sister

"Oh Alice, who are these people?" Selka questioned

"Oh right! Selka these are our new teammates and friends from Dekarusu High School!" Alice said as the gang introduces themselves to Selka

"It's nice to meet you all." Selka said. "So where you guys are going?" Selka ask

"We're heading to Centoria for a couple of swords for our new friends." Alice said

"Oh! Well that's really nice and can I come too?" Selka ask

"Yes you can." Alice said

"So Alice how long will it take us to get there?" Kazuto ask

"Hm? By foot an hour but in a vehicle about 10 minutes." Alice said

"That should be enough time to comeback in time." Eugeo said

"Well what are we waiting for?! Let's get going!" Kazuto said as they headed towards the vehicles but then. "Wait a minute?! There are 13 of us and there are 5 guys and 8 girls? So how are we gonna work this out?" Kazuto said

"Um? We could split up as 2 groups....." Dekarusu said as he made Kazuto looks stupid

"Oh right." Kazuto was embarrassed

Then as one group is riding a car and that's Kazuto, Asuna, Eugeo, Ronye and Tiese. And the second group is riding a Van and that's Dekarusu, Yuuki, Aiko, Alice, Selka, Akira, Soma and Aoi.

Then as they all was finally situated, they was on the road. In the Car, Asuna was at the left side of the car, Kazuto between Ronye and Eugeo and Tiese on the end of the right.

"I didn't know that one of us couldn't sit in the front instead of squeezing in the back?!" Kazuto said

"I believe one of us should have asked but we didn't." Asuna said

"Sorry." Ronye and Tiese said

"Oh no! It's not you girls fault, I'm just saying in general." Asuna said

"Sighs"
"I wonder how the others are doing behind us?!" Eugeo said

"Probably enjoying having a lot of room in the van." Kazuto said in a bit of attitude

In the van, Aoi was sitting in the front with the driver, Akira, Aiko and Selka was in the front, Soma in the middle all by himself and in the back, Alice by the window, Dekarusu in the middle and Yuuki on the other end.

"Hey Soma, how come you get the seat all to yourself?!" Akira asked

"Don't know bro? I'm just enjoying this opportunity right now!" Soma said as he place his arms behind his head chilling

"Wanna trade spots?" Akira said

"Nope!" Soma said

"Aw come on!!" Akira complains

"Akira! You're the one who rushed in this van and stole his spot. So you couldn't complain." Aoi said

"Man!!!" Akira complains as he pouted

"Wow! You two act like little kids you know that?" Selka giggles

"Not really.... sometimes." Dekarusu said

"Whatever Dekarusu!!/Sumisu!!" Akira and Soma said

"You guys are really funny." Alice said

"You can say that again Alice." Selka agreed with her sister

"So Dekarusu~Kun......? Once we get there, what you wanna do?" Yuuki asked while she hold hands with him

"Well..... I really wanna see if I can get the "Divine Objects" but it don't know if we can actually get them..... and I don't know about anything else." Dekarusu said

"Same here." Yuuki said

"Well I wonder if we can at least get a real life sword at least." Dekarusu admits

"Well you can at least. Well depending on the swords are made off." Alice said

"What you mean Alice?" Yuuki questioned

"Most of the Divine Objects are created by the Axiom Church and are used by The Integrity Knights. Divine Object Weapons can be only used by people whose souls resonate with the weapon's memories." Alice said. "Just like my sword which is called "Fragrant Olive Sword". People say it's from the Axiom Church."

"Awe!" Dekarusu said

"Well with Eugeo's Sword called "The Blue Rose Sword" was founded by us in the Mountain Range at the Edge." Alice said

"That's really cool. And what about Bercouli~Sensei and the others weapons?" Dekarusu asked

"They're the Divine Objects as well, from the Axiom Church." Alice answers his question

"That's explains why Desoulbert~Sensei did the Enhance Armament?!" Dekarusu question

"Yes. And you guys can do it too, depending on the weapon and other stuff." Alice said

"Wow! Now I'm really fired up for this now!!" Dekarusu said

"Hehe, glad to see that." Alice smiles at him and Yuuki noticed it

"Hmm? She's really enjoying talking to Dekarusu~Kun..... a lot?" Yuuki thought to herself

Then for couple minutes later they made it to Centoria

"Woah!! This is really big!!!" Everyone was amazed.

"This is going to take a while, so I think it's best for us to stay in the vehicle for a while." Alice said to the driver

"We might as well get comfortable." Soma said

"I'll text Eugeo about this." Selka said as everyone starts to get comfortable.... except for Kazuto and the others

"Oh man! Now we're gonna be in this vehicle for a little while longer now!" Kazuto said

"Might as well just enjoy this now and don't complain Kirito." Asuna said

"Kirito?!" Eugeo, Ronye and Tiese said in unison

"Whoops!" Asuna said

"Sigh"
"It's my player name of a video game called Alfheim Online or ALO for short." Kazuto said

"Oh ok." Eugeo said

"But you guys can called me "Kirito" if you guys want." Kazuto said

"You sure?" They asked

"Yeah I'm sure." Kazuto said as Asuna giggles

"Does the others have these "player names as well"?" Eugeo asked

"Yeah.... with Rika, her names Lisbeth or you could called her Liz for short. Ayano, her name is Silica. With Ryoutarou, well he'd already told y'all but his name is Klein. With Andrew, he's not in school with us but his name is Agil. Akira's name is Akin, Soma's name is Sokai, Aoi's name is Aero and Dekarusu's is Deku." Kazuto said

"Oh that's awesome~ oh what about your name Asuna?" Eugeo said

"Um...? Well~

"Her name is Asuna and nothing else." Kazuto said

"Ah!! Kirito!!" Asuna said as she stomps his foot

STOMP!!!

"Ow!!! What Asuna?!" Kazuto said

"I could've told them!" Asuna said as she crossed her arms and looked at the other

"My bad I didn't mean too!" Kazuto said as Eugeo and the others giggles but tried to hold it in and with Dekarusu and the others

"Man....." Soma said

"I really love this scenery and all but this is really boring." Akira said

"Yeah... and there's no bars around here." Aoi added in a calming tone

"And we can't use any data either, this is a real drag...." Dekarusu added

"We can't even listen to any music either cuz there's no radio." Yuuki added

"Might as well just take a nap." Aiko said as she plans on go to sleep

"Yeah... you're right Onee~Chan." Yuuki said as she cling into Dekarusu's arms, grabbed his hand and scoots closer to him and decide to sleep on his shoulder.

"I'll stay awake to let you guys know we're there." Aoi said

"You sure?"

"Positive." Aoi said

"Akira. Soma, you guys are taking a nap?"

"Yep!" Akira said

"Definitely!" Soma said

"Ok then.... I'mma go to sleep as well.... I really love this scenery but I'm gotta get some shuteye....... oh Alice! Are you going to sleep too." Dekarusu said

"Well.... I'm starting to get a little tired...." Alice said

"Oh ok... well.... I'm just gonna shut my eyes...." Dekarusu said as he leans on top of Yuuki gently and sleeps and Alice sees how they sleep with next to each other

(Just imagine Yuuki on his right side of his shoulder)
"Ok then......" Alice said as she looks at the window for a sec then looks at the sleeping Dekarusu. "Hmm...? He's..... really cute when he's asleep....... I.... can't stop thinking of him.. and Kirito.......? Why am I feeling this way so suddenly.....?! It isn't like me to feel this way...." Alice thought to herself as she suddenly feels more tired and suddenly leans on Dekarusu's shoulder.

"Wait! I hope.... i-if he... don't mind about me... sleeping in his shoulder....." Alice was about to lean on the window but couldn't as she felt tired... then suddenly moved her hand closer to his hand and lock her fingers with his......
