Yuki smiled pleasantly as her best friend enjoyed what was probably her best meal ever concocted. Even from the first bite she took herself she couldn’t believe how wonderful it was. It really showed how an amazing cook was really nothing without the perfect tools. As they ate their food, the obvious conversation would begin. She had been extremely absent with her friends recently. NIGHT would talk about how much she’d missed her before apologizing with how she might be bringing down the mood. The paladin would take a deep-sigh of relaxation as she dug into the warm kotatsu ever so slight

The paladin hurried with the speed that could match a cheetah. Night had told her the raid meeting would be today and since she had been out for a few floors she wanted to comeback stronger than ever. Her sword-wielding companion had neglected to tell her just until now that there was a wedding at the same time?! She didn’t even know what the theme was! Something about Freyd being too official or something??? Did she mean cool? Was that some new slang? Nevertheless, she would have to choose something formal and didn’t have time to guess much about what the theme would be so she donned her

Stepping into the inconspicuous potion shop, Yuki was surprised to see that it was themed like a drink shop. Seeing how people had designed their shops was interesting compared to hers. She wanted to be a cook when she got out of Aincrad, so working in a shop with Japanese themed food was perfect practice for that. Nevertheless, she was here for some buffing potions no matter how they were themed. "Hello, I just need five damage potions please. Will be helpful for my farming runs." The paladin will say, passing him the necessary amount of materials for payment. "Nice looking shop you have

"Your work is as lovely as ever. Thank you." The Paladin will say, taking the item and examining it ever further. It was perfect. Everything she'd imagined since she first started designing her build. Maximum mitigation and maximum thorns damage. She would take a moment to equip it and test her movement. The freedom of range was perfect and the plates were intricately aligned for protection. "I'll be back with more in the future. Expect me without a doubt. Your services have definitely been invaluable to me." And she will take her leave, she had more work to do if she wanted to perfect th

Not even a day passed before she would find her way back to Wulfrin's shop. He had done well with the fusing of her two pieces of armor before and she had a couple more that she needed to get done. With the piece she'd brought last time in tow, and the freebie given to her by NIGHT's friend of a friend, Yuki would set them back down on the counter. "Back so soon, yes." The paladin will say. "The work you did in my last visit was exquisite. If you could finish this piece for me to include every aura in the game. What's a tank without their mitigation, after all." The tank will smile at Wul

The paladin grinned in bemusement the reaction from her companion. The meat was divine, she could tell by simply gazing upon it. Quickly did she get to work into making it something no short of a feast for the ages. "This is the result of that massive bird I met at the top of the mountain. It put up a good fight but I, of course, am unbreakable." The pinkette would be wrapped up in her cooking while NIGHT awed over the catch she'd brought in. After some deliberation, Yuki would decide to make this meat cut into chops of steak. It was certainly a unique piece of animal to work on which all

Stepping up to the glass steps, Yuki would relocate the message sent to her by NIGHT. Her message included details about a few Unique enhanced items from a closed appraiser. She didn't know how NIGHT would have found this person's shop but the two of them were inseparable for the entire time they'd started leveling. If there was a single person she trusted the most in this world... well it would probably be Cro, but NIGHT was equally the best too. She would step up the glass staircase into the store and knock carefully on the door. "Hello? I'm here at the recommendation of NIGHT? She said

The forge. A location that Yuki had not found herself in a very long time. Her armor had always been at the peak it's performance but now it was more than easy to acquire demonics and she would need them if she intended to join the next floor raid. She would step in, unequip her massive set of armor and provide the fusion piece as well before setting it down in a convenient spot for the smith present. "Good day, ser. I require a fusion of two items. These two items have unique enhancements that are imperative to be on the same piece for my build. Here's the materials necessary." She'll open th

At the mention of not needing food, Yuki threw her hands onto the counter, giving a good shock to the china that sat upon. "What?! It's not about needing food, NIGHT." She would explode. "It's about sharing it with friends!" She'll continue, grabbing the things she needed and starting to work on her usual craft. In her panic, Yuki would almost forget the most important part of her upcoming meal: The meat. The pink-haired paladin would open up her menu and bring out the haul that she'd gotten from her avian foe atop mount Rabten. "BEHOLD." She would present it as it spawned from her hammer

A moment of silence stilled the air as NIGHT waited for a response. It was starting to seem like there would be no answer, and just as she might decide to leave or try another round of knocking, perhaps this time with a megaphone, she could hear the sound of footsteps on the other side of the door. Louder and louder they got until there was none. A soft breath from behind the door came before it slid open, revealing the paladin in all her... glory? No, more like nostalgia. "Y-You're earlier than I expected. I haven't even started cooking yet! Oh no, I need to get it started as soon as pos

The massive wing of Aethon, flailing uncontrollably, would soon find the target it was searching for. Though its thrashing was futile and only hastened the avian’s demise. Yuki would be launched by its strength sending her rolling towards her destination at high speed. Aethon would exploded into nothing but digital dust as the blonde steadied her foothold and slid to a stop. The window showing her spoils would appear and she would take note of a special item drop from the creature. “Chuck of the Avian Aethon.” A rare cooking material? She knew just what to do with that. But, first, she ha

Yuki weaved through its attacks one more time, almost too gracefully making herself difficult to target. In retrospect, just letting herself get hit was the safest option to apply her thorns. However, when she launched off the ground and rammed her spear into Aethon’s remaining eye she was ecstatic to see that bleed proc that she was hopping for. Aethon’s death was now determined. The Paladin ground her weapon through its eye and landed back on her feet. Aethon squealed in pain with vision in black and began thrashing around maniacally, hoping to at least finish off Yuki. The blonde retur

Just as she was about to feint and riposte and attack to finish out this fight, Aethon decided to bring out its final trump card: Fire. Its maw lit ablaze and soaked the paladin with pyro glaze. She’d thankfully gotten close enough for her thorns to have proced and dealt it’s damage but she would quickly notice the burn debuff she was now suffering. If it got good hits in from here on, she could be a goner. Stress collided with adrenaline in that moment. The two of them were mere turns from dying should the odds favor one more than the other. She kept the teleportation crystal in mind fro

Lightning was beginning to swirl heavily around the battlefield, a fitting finale of destruction as the two neared the end of their bout. Yuki would see the last foot of this mountain no matter what it took, so she readied her spear for the upcoming attack. Aethon, pissed off enough as it was resorted to the rage induced reckless attacks with the razor sharp talons that once scraped her. Only this time it was much less of a scrape. The beat had managed to get a good hit in on her thanks to that lightning ability that it was using. She attempted a follow-up attack to finish it off but it w

The two struggled for control once again. Yuki was doing everything that she could to get closer to the thing’s head to take out its other eye but the wind was too fast and it was moving way to sporadic for her to find the proper leverage. The last ditch maneuver that Aethon had was to fly upside down momentarily to get her to fall from the wind. It did not expect her to wrestle her spear deep into its wing, pinning the feathered flapper to the bird’s core. Unable to keep its trajectory straight, the both of them plummeted to the mountain top where Yuki would not only suffer the falling damage

Taking a ride on the creature’s back made the paladin feel like a dragon slaying heroine. A lancer stood atop the world of man, soaring higher than anyone could ever dream whilst sending beasts to their doom upon re-entry to the surface. She held tightly with her spear dug into the creatures back as it effortlessly attempted to send her to her own doom. The view from the back of Aethon was one to be envied. So the paladin took this moment of quiet in the battle to take a screenshot for her collection. It wasn’t like she had really felt that threatened by the boss she struggled with up to

The beast followed its ice attack up rather quickly, once again charging her down and clawing her form with talons as big as her. The vice grip that claimed her last time was not so successful the second time, however. The paladin dodged the clutch of the razors, only taking a scrape, and jammed her spear into the wing of the bird. Holding on for dear life, she climbed up to the top side and began traversing its back. A couple more spears at its tough skin ran through, leaving a sizable mark in Aethon’s health bar thanks to the combination of her attack landing and the thorns that burned

The lull of the battle was beginning to set in. The paladin would struggle to her feet, watching her health bar slowly return to full and seeing the mob’s sitting at just a bit over half. Historically this is probably the best her damage per second has ever been without Night and Cro backing her up. Aethon was not pleased with this outcome. It struggled itself to see thanks to the rather large toothpick stuck into its eyeball. When the thing’s vision refocused and set on the paladin, it roared in defiance once again unleashing a giant icicle at her. Yuki raised her spear at the ice. Upon

Yuki in its claw, Aethon flew haphazardly over the edge of the mountain. The paladin struggled to get her weapon into the body of the creature before it plucked her down to the depths of the ocean level ground kilometers below her. Unfortunately she could not get it in time. She soared, wind whistling through her ears as she plummeted. She would quickly free-fall to the side of the mountain and jam her spear into the mountain side. A deep breath escaped her lips, a sigh of relief in a short moment of reprieve. Aethon, wising up to her tricks would follow her up, launching a fireball from

Yuki ushering her challenge made Aethon erupt in another roar. Ice rained from the sky, pelting the paladin like hail from a storm but the fiery aura of brilliance melted most oof anything that tried to find its way through. She let out a hearty laugh in response. “Ice is no different than my spear: It’s is not your strong point. Why don’t you keep your day job if that’s all you’re capable of.” To prove her point, she leaped from her spot and slipped on the ice as she went to make her attack. Metal clanked against the ice on the ground and scrapped it up as she slid over it comically. “As

With a roar loud enough to shatter glass and make ears bleed, the massive bird-like monster swooped in to Yuki. The tank, ever the chip on her shoulder, didn’t even try to dodge its freezing beak. It felt like an icicle being jammed through her core but the fire in her heart made that pain melt away. She hadn’t felt a thrill like this in a while. Upon attempting her rebuttal, Yuki was flung to the ground, sliding against the now-sleet-covered ground she once stood on. When she rose to her feet, she watched Aethon circle her as if she was prey to be consumed. Yuki chuckled with a grin as s
