Sword Art Online's

Chapter 14's

When the two of them came out of the weapon storage, along with the light that started to dim, the 7 o'clock bell had clang.

After writing the clock out in the journal, Asuna said she would go to the general section on the second floor so she went down the main stairs. As Ronye single-handedly stared at the night sky shaded by the purple light in the large window in front of the weapon storage, he let out a heavy sigh.

It used to be time at the Sword Mastery Academy, a place where he studied for half a year, there was a rule where dinner had to be finished at 7, and if one was late for no apparent reason, there was a rule, then they'll miss dinner. Of course there is no such regulation at Central Cathedral, until 9 o'clock pass by it is not a problem to take warm food as long as the large dining room on the 10th floor is still open, in addition, snacks are always available in the large kitchen next to the dining room.

Today, he ran up and down the stairs, so he became hungry faster because of the many activities, but this time he did not feel like eating, so Ronye decided to return to his room.

Usually he rode the automatic elevator to the 22nd floor of the Cathedral, to his room, but that day he chose to climb the main stairs to feel the weight of his new sword as quickly as possible.

Kirito and Eugeo who escaped from the underground prison in the Cathedral about 2 years ago, by passing the stairs up to 50 floors while fighting Integrity Knight.There is no sign of a former fight there, except for the feelings of the two people who were being chased at the time, and tried as they did, Ronye stepped up to the 22nd floor with a little ngosan.

The private room on the right in the corridor, a room shared with Tieze because of their apprentice status, but his best friend was not in his room, maybe Tieze was having dinner. Coincidentally, the living room with 2 beds is the same as the dorm room Elite Swordsman Kirito and Eugeo used to be, but here it is bigger. His room at his parents' house where he spent his childhood up to entering the Sword Mastery Academy was the same size, so Ronye felt too uneasy because of his size from the start, but in the end he chose to rearrange furniture that he liked and change his position repeatedly, until he was comfortable.

Looking inside, the wall behind it is a large window that leads east to Centoria, the bed with bed linen on the left and there was a small table on the right.And the wall on the other side of the window there was the same light device as in the storage of the weapon earlier. He entered his room, kept the sword from his waist and leaned it against the wall, his black sword sheath perfectly matched the interior of the furniture in his room which was mostly dark brown “I will think about it carefully, and give you a name that suits you.”

He whispered to his sword, took off his light-grey armor and put it in place to the right of his sword. Then he threw his body as fast as light into the bed, but he had to hold it this time. He should immediately get ready for the long journey tomorrow He learned it from Kirito, a bag or a place to store the goods of a knight at least quite medium-sized, so Ronye should choose his goods as necessary.

For a 17-year-old girl it seems like she definitely wants to carry a lot of clothes, but as Kirito's bodyguard and this isn't just an ordinary trip, he prioritized bringing drugs and sacred art media.

First of all, he checks and if there is anything to add again to the charging section, but before that—

“...oh yes, shower, let's take a shower first”

While muttering he changed his underwear and left the room.

Public bathrooms are located on every floor from the 20th to 30th floors of the Cathedral, so usually Ronye and Tieze shower there. But this time..before leaving Cathedral for a long time, he prefers to go “kesana”. That spot.

Ronye walked along the corridor to the elevator to the north. Straighten the control lever and mark the 90th floor above and press the button, the aerial element located

inside a slab in the middle of the elevator received his orders, and began to ride carrying Ronye.

About 10 seconds, the elevator was getting quieter and the key was open. Ronye opened the door.When he came out of there, there were 2 places divided on the right and left in front of him, before he turned, there was a clean white cloth hanging on his ceiling with a strange inscription“fe”

The white cloth was marked by Prime Swordsman Kirito, and it seemed that he had written it himself, but no one knew what it meant. They said, only the Prime-Asuna Deputy knew, but they just kept quiet and laughed with shocked expressions.Lifting a little of his head while walking there, he lifted up the cloth that read" it's underneath it that's cut off and gone. Other hanging fabrics of the same design also appear on the left and right.The blue cloth on the right reads “mria” with white writing, and the pink cloth on the left reads “women”

The mystery of the sign is not so understandable—mystery behind the meaning of “ ⁇ ”so, he chose a cloth with the inscription —women“. The corridor turned to the right until it became a slightly wider room.

The room with a large board bulkhead as the barrier was not empty, there were 3 priestesses who were only wearing thin kimonos sitting on the wall chair was drying her hair. When they realized Ronye's presence, they hurriedly got up and gave a greeting.

“Goodnight, knight-sama” “halo good night knight-sama” “good evening”

Ronye returned the greeting properly, and hurriedly went to the room behind it.

When he reached the place instead, he was somewhat choked. He was indeed not an apprentice knight who had only come yesterday or 2 days ago, but he was still not used to getting such respect from an older person or one of the same gender. He could not retaliate and acted well like knight commander Fanatio giving orders to a knight.

After taking off his shirt and putting his change of clothes into the basket, he, Ronye took off his white towel and opened the glass door behind it.White steam began to enter into it so that he quickly stepped up and closed the door behind him.The spreading steam showed a view that he could not stand even though it had been seen repeatedly times.

A spacious place that takes up almost the entire section on the 90th floor of the Cathedral. The floor and pillars are made of clean white marble, the north and east walls are also covered with giant glass walls, so that the night view in the capital Centoria can be seen. Although this place is not as luxurious as in the castle, the surprising thing is that a huge amount of hot water fills all the floor surfaces forming a staircase pattern.

Its length from north to south is about 40 mel, its width reaches 25 mel. Its width is surrounded by a barrier measuring 2 mels, and its depth from the floor to the middle of the pond is about one mel, a simple calculation of the size of this hot spring is equal to 874 cubic mel, and converted into “lil" which is the designation of counting liquid objects, so the overall result amounts to 874000 lil. In addition to the west of the marble wall is—the only one marked with a cloth with the inscription ‘mia’ there, the structure is symmetrical, so that the total volume of hot water is 2x fold.

This place is a public bath, Kirito called it "the most incredible facility in Central Cathedral"

Before the First World War, only 30 Integrity Knights could use it, there was no intermediate wall, and it seemed to be only often used by one person to soak. However, after the assembly was reorganized, it was opened to all the priests in the Cathedral and the staff, and at the same time to the separated men and women.

About 20 people were bathing there, but there was no impression that this bathtub was like a small lake full. Ronye walked to the south corner where there were only a few people there, slowly dipping his heels into the water. At first he felt the heat until he entered and sat on the marble steps in the pool.Submerged in hot water up to his neck, he felt a feeling of relaxation so deep in his head that he could not feel in the usual bathtub in the public bathroom, he exhaled slowly.

"Huu............"

“The giant bathroom is better right?”

“Totally..”
