When we arrived in town it was already 12. Knowing the girls, I'm sure we will be here for a while.

"Where to first," Harry asks

"Hmm," all the girls think

"Hmmmmm," the boys think

"Let's look for equipment first, it'll be the most expensive," Jam says

"Good idea, I would hate to buy a ton of stuff then not be able to buy the important stuff," Liz says with an unsure look as she scratches her head

"Armour and weapons it is then," Punisher says as we start to hunt for the goodies.

Honestly, I'm not sure if Qweep has anything he would need in a fight, I've never seen him fight before and all he has is pointless clothing like the clown when we first met. Surprisingly Qweep was the first to lay his eyes on his future weapon. In his sights was a dagger with a whip on the opposite side of the blade.

"Perfect," He says with a devilish look on his face

"You with a whip.....I like" Looky says

"I'm bailing," I tell the group

Everyone agreed with me and we left Looky and Qweep alone to do their shopping

We kept walking until we found an armour store.

"You guys might need new armour, I don't but I could come in and help you choose," Harry says

"Same, here" I add

The three girls and Punisher nodded to our suggestion

I went with Punisher to the men section and Harry went with the girls.

"Kinda surprising that there is a whole building for armour in SAO, this wasn't abnormal in our world but for NPCs to set it up, not bad," I tell him

"Yea I know that feeling," He says

We go through the armour but there's nothing that screams edge lord like what Punisher wants. I continue to go through the clothing until I bump into one of the NPCs, as I bump them they drop a box that they were carrying.

"O, shit sorry," I say picking up some of the armour. I quickly notice that it is completely black

"Is this for sale?" I ask

"O, not anymore, it's been here for months and no one has even looked at it, no point in letting it take self space, it's going in the dumpster," the NPC tells me

"If that the case, I think my friend will be interested," I say looking at Punisher

"Yes indeed, I'll buy it," He says

"Here you go," the NPC says handing the armour to Punisher, "that will be 3000 col"

Punisher checked the stats and his eyes shot open, "only 3 thousand!? That's pretty cheap for armour with these stats"

"It's been on the shelf for a while, it needs to go," the NPC says

"No complains from me," Punisher says.

He transfers the money to the NPC and we make our way to the girls.

"You gonna put it on," I ask

"Huh, I'm not sure, I don't want them to be shocked when they see me," he says

"Bruh, they won't know the difference either way," I tell him

"Fine, whatever," he says has he equips his new armour.

"There you go! Finally that badass sword fits your armour, your armour before was pussy shit," I say

"Like you can talk Mr. Pads," He counters

"I knew it, I'll be closer to a woman than you ever will be" I counter his counter

"Fuck," he says in defeat

I just smirk

We finally are able to track down the girls. Harry was mostly with Fuji with Jam and Liz doing their own thing.

"We're back," I announce

"Wow, Punisher, your sword fits your armour so much better, the armour before was pussy shit," Liz says

Punisher dies standing up as I fist-bump Liz.

"Don't listen to them, I think your old and new armour looked badass?" Jam says while rubbing his back.

"Nice to know at least one person likes me," he says with a tear in his eye

I and Liz just laugh.

"You guys done," I ask the girls

"Not even close," they all say at the same time

" Ok" I respond

Punisher went with Jam to another part of the store and Harry and Fuji were still in their little world

"Guess you and me again eh," I say to Liz

"Must be love" She responds

"Must be" I tell her

"You are Romeo, and I, Juliet. We are destined to be together" Liz starts

"My dear, dear Juliet I'm sorry we can't be together because of our family's but I swear I'll make it happen!" I yell out heroically.

Liz breaks down laughing

"Ok, let's find you some armour," I say getting us back on track

"Yea, just sucks I really like my armour, the only downside is that it's a low level on this flour." She says

"I'll find you something, just keep looking, you can't be half has bad to shop for as Punisher," I say

"Yea, it's probably hard to find armour he wants" She responds

We continue looking until she finds a white padded armour set just like her own.

"A keeper?" I ask

"Yea, you must bring good luck," she says

"I'm sure Max would disagree," I say

Liz laughs a bit and asks " would he"

"I'm sure he would," I tell her

We go up to the NPC can buy the armour, after we bought it we can see the others going up to pay for their clothes.

"We are all done here I guess," Harry asks

"Indeed, on to a weapon shop now?" I ask

"Yep" Jam agrees

We head toward a weapon shop and head our different ways to our preferred weapon type, Punisher followed me but he went to the huge Longsword as I went to the normal-sized one.

I scan across all the swords until one catches my eye, it's laid sheathed on the counter. The sheath reminded me greatly of Liz from its Light blue hue l. I picked it up and check the info on it. The swords name was Flastavin(Flas-ta-vin) it's a Longsword with an affinity with speed. A Longsword with the speed affinity is very rare, I look at the price to see its 1 Million col. That's quite a bit, but I'm some how attracted to this sword.

I pay for it at the counter as the others came to pay for theirs.

After we meet back up with Qweep and Looky and went shopping for potions. We didn't get back to camp until it was dark out and ready to sleep. Running around in town really took it out of everyone so we decided to hit the hay.

We all slept well, knowing if things went south it could be our last
