It was a huge honor made in Grandam, the fifty-fifth floor. The Moonlit Black Cats, and Asuna were summoned by Heathcliff, leader of The Knights of The Blood Oath for a meeting involving what happened a couple of days ago. The group had just arrived to meet up with Asuna, and were about to meet with Heathcliff. Each member told what happened in their part of the case, and were dismissed afterwards.
Kirito, and Asuna were inside the longest after the other members had told what had happened, but were soon called back, and once more congratulated by Heathcliff for a job well done on the capture of the three leading members of the murder guild. He plans on getting more information from from on where the rest of the guild is located. Heathcliff then dismissed the guild, and gave Asuna the rest of the day off.
'Well,' Akira said, 'that sure was a pleasant surprise, I mean to be welcomed as heroes by your guild. It's a real honor.'
Asuna only chuckled as she nodded in agreement.
'So, what do we do now?' Kirito asked.
'I say we head down to Floor 48 to get some lunch, and then I can take you to meet my friend after that.' suggested Asnua. 'How about that?'
'Okay,' Silica nodded, 'let's do that.'
Everyone else nodded in agreement, and headed for Floor 48, otherwise known as Lindas. When they arrived, the group immediately got some food to eat, and had a great time. Afterwards, they headed to meet Asuna's friend at a water mill area next to a nice stream.
The sound of iron against iron was heard inside, much to the pleasure of a very particular person, in the back of the shop, was a girl, she wore a red dress with a white bow, and apron, as well as white smith gloves, brown boots, and a red garter on her left leg. The only different about her was her hair being pink instead of her regular dark brown, and pinkish red eyes. She was a blacksmith, and the best one too, she had a reputation for helping mid-floor players.
She heard the bell ring that signaled that her door to her shop was opened, 'A customer.' she said, taking off her work gloves, and straightened herself, and her outfit. Stepping through to the main room, she saw a familiar sight, as well as two girls, and four boys, being shown around, and browsing the selection of weapons.
'Welcome to Lisbeth's Blacksmith Shop!' she said, making everyone look at her.
'Hey, Liz!' said Asuna, as she went over to greet her.
'Hi, Asuna!' replied Lizbeth, as she went over to Asuna. The two then gave each other a hug seeing each other. 'What brings you here?'
'Well, I'm planning on getting my Rapier you made for me repaired.' Asuna explained, 'Plus, this group worked with me on a case dealing in arresting the murder guilds leading members. So, I brought them here to meet you.'
Lisbeth wasn't surprised, and figured it would be for one of the those guys. What she saw, however, really surprised her.
The first boy, was dressed in a light blue coat with silver trimmings, with silver chest armor and shoulder pads, white pants, and brown boots. He also wore white fingerless gloves, and had a calvary sword, strapped to his waist, and on his back was a calvary shield.
The second boy was dressed in all black, with a black sword on his back. He wore a black coat with white lines, and silver buckles, The Black Wyrm Coat. He also wore a black shirt, and pants, with black shoes, and black fingerless gloves, but on his shirt was a silver crescent moon. His sword, also white trimmings on it, called The Elucidator.
The third boy, wore a red jacket, blood red shirt, and black pants; a long, jagged red sword was strapped to his back, and a small fire dragon familiar was on his soldier.
The forth boy was dressed entirely themed in Azure blue, with his coat, shirt, vest, and pants. He wielded on his shoulder a the very sword Kirito used before he got the Elucidator, his Moon Blade. Kirito, decided to give him the sword as a way of thanking him with some of details with the murder mystery, and also, as a way of thanking him for being supportive.

Maar voor mij was het niet de eerste keer in het casino, dus ik was vooral benieuwd of zo'n pakket echt een andere kijk geeft op het casino.
The first girl was dressed in a dark blue coat that reached her knees, along with a dark blue clothes from when she first met Silica.
The second girl, was wearing an orange red coat over a black sleeveless shirt, and black skirt. She also wore a silver breast plate, black knee high socks, and shoes, with black fingerless leather gloves. A small blue feathered dragon familiar was perched on top of her head.
'Hello, My name is Akira of the Moonlit Black Cats. The rest of the members are from the same guild, Kirito, Mataras, Diabel, Sachi, and Silica. We would like some custom ordered weapons please.' said the boy in azure blue.
'Well, alright, but if you have a specific style of weapon your interested in, could you be a bit more specific please?' Lisbeth said.
Feb 05, 2018 Use the long 1040 form: If you're a casual gambler (like me!), with a trip now and then to Las Vegas, Atlantic City or your nearest casino, you should report the annual total of all your gambling winnings, with and without W-2Gs, on line 21 of Form 1040 see updated form information below. Jan 26, 2013 Poker winnings are taxable whether they are from cash games or tournaments. This is true for brick and mortar, as well as online poker rooms. Even if a player lives in a state where online poker is explicitly illegal there is still a responsibility to pay taxes on those winnings. Online poker taxes in the United States. In general, the answer is no. Takeaway #1: All online gambling winnings of U.S. Residents are taxable under the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Code does not differentiate between gambling winnings from brick and mortar casinos and from online play. All gambling winnings are taxable. If online gambling were really illegal in the US, sites like the Merge Network and Cake poker wouldn't be operating here anymore. That said, you can't report a net loss from gambling on your taxes. Gambling losses are limited to the extent that they offset gambling winnings. You can check out 26 USC § 165(d). Illegal gambling poker online reporting winnings. Apr 08, 2019 “Gambling doesn’t make the winnings tax-free. Taxpayers who make illegal wagers and win still need to report the income on their tax return. If the taxpayer itemizes deductions, they can still deduct the loss to the extent of gain.” Pros should treat poker as a business.
'Sure.' replied Kirito, he then took his sword off his back, and handed it to Liz.
'An Elucidator?! This is one of the best magic longsword a person can get from a monster drop!' She gasped, then looked up at Kirito. 'What does this sword have to do with your custom order?' she asked.
'Well, we would like two custom made one-handed longswords made that are the same weight or better than this sword,' Akira said, 'We would also like to have a custom ordered dagger for Silica.' he listed, Lizbeth nodded as wrote down the orders on a notepad.
'This stuff is going to cost you guys an arm and a leg for making these weapons, you know.' she pointed out.
All other players at the table receive a $50 'envy bonus'. Blackjack match the dealer bet. A 'super bonus' of 1000 for bets under $25, and $5000 for bets of $25 and over, is paid on a suited 7-7-7 against any dealer 7. However, doubling down negates these bonuses.
'Don't worry about money, just focus on making the swords.' grunted Mataras.
Liz was in deep thought on how to get what the guild wanted, and finally an idea popped into her head. 'You guys just might be in luck.' she said, 'On the western mountains of floor 55, lives a dragon that eats crystals that restores its health. Rumor has it that the dragon stores a rare mineral in its body. I know where it is, so that should be a good place to look for mineral.'
'Floor 55 huh? So it's in that frozen wasteland.' Silica muttered, already beginning to shiver.
'Oh, come on. It's not all that bad.' Akira grinned.
'Yeah, well that's easy for you to say, after all, you're The Azure Swordsman.' Mataras replied, rolling his eyes.
'Okay, you two.' Kirito chuckled, 'So, are there any requirements in order to get the materials you mentioned?' he asked.
'Yeah, I have to come with you, because they say in order to get the metal, you need to have a blacksmith with you in a party.' said Lisbeth.
The group agreed and added Lisbeth to the group and headed for Floor 55.
A teleport later, the team were walking up a summit leading to where the dragon lives, before arriving to Floor 55, the group decided to have two parties of four. Kirito, Asuna, Lisbeth, and Diabel were one team, while Akira, Mataras, Silica, and Sachi were the other. The group was wearing cloaks that kept an insulation pack in them. Akira led the group with Silica next to him, Lisbeth, Kirito, Asuna, and Diabel were in the middle, with Mataras, and Sachi as the rearguard. Litrosh occasionally blew out fire every now and again to give a refreshing and warm feeling to the group.
Silica looked up to Akira, and truth be told, she started to look up to him as if he was her older brother, like Sachi did with Mataras. 'Hey, Akira? How much further do we have to go?' asked Mataras.
'I don't know, any ideas Liz?' Akira called back.
'We're almost there.' reported the blacksmith.
The slope soon began to even out, and proved Liz's statement true, because soon, the girls were enthralled by the array of ice crystals, 'This place is so beautiful.' muttered Akira.
'Okay, I have a game plan on how to deal with the dragon.' Kirito said, getting everyones attention. 'Only Silica, and Mataras will deal with the dragon, the rest of us are staying here to hide. Since, our group has two dragon masters, we made not have to fight.'
'Good idea, Kirito.' nodded Asuna, 'You sure are trying hard to protect you guild.' she smirked. Liz nodded in agreement.
That stopped when Mataras held his hand up. 'Better hide now, the dragon's coming.' he said in a snarl.
While the rest of the group hid within the crystals, Mataras, and Silica walked up to the pit, and emerging from the pit was a huge white scaled dragon with huge spikes coming from its back. The creature flew between them and the objective.
'Here we go, Pina.' Silica said.
'Litrosh, help her out!' Mataras called.
The two familiars flew up to mid point and started chirping at the giant dragon.
'O he who rides the winds, please, we request an audience,' Mataras began. The dragon nodded once as it let out a low rubble.
'Mighty lord who freezes all, we seek a treasure that resides in these mountains, the same of which you use for food.' added Silica.
The dragon growled, 'We do not wish for combat, He who makes the ground shake, we will search for the treasure, and leave without violence,' called out Mataras.
Silica then spoke up, 'Will you grant us passage on your land, Great ruler of the winds?' she called out.
Lisbeth was in a state of shock of what was going on, somehow, the dragon was able to understand what the two dragon tamers were saying.
The dragon then snapped its jaws only once, then flew down into the nest behind it, soon returning with a chest in its mouth. The dragon placed the chest down, and stared at Silica.
'I believe it wants you to have it.' whispered Mataras. Silica stepped forward to the chest, and looked up at the dragon, pointing to the chest and then herself. It nodded once. She then bent down and opened the chest, almost at her presence.
Inside the chest were two items, one was a rolled up scroll, the other was a beautiful dagger, which was almost made of pure glass, the weapon was between the length of a shortsword, and a dagger length, with a glow like an icy blizzard. Silica picked up the dagger first, and it was added instantly to her inventory. Then she grabbed the scroll.
She opened the paper to read what it said, 'If you have received this scroll, then you have given a great honor, my name is Blizzardwing, and I am the keeper of these lands. I bring you this treasure, because you are the first person to have tamed one of our kind, in doing so, have my faith, and trust. If you are ever in need, and your allies are to far away, please call me, I shall ride the winds and help you to defeat any foe.'
The scroll vanished as soon as she finished reading when a message appeared in her gaming menu, it read: 'Congratulations Beast Tamer, you have earned the unique skill, 'Dragon Cry', with this power, you can summon Blizzardwing to aid you in battle, but when its HP reaches 0, the skill, and the dragon will disappear.'
'Dragon Cry?' Silica asked as she looked up to the dragon. 'I hope we meet again.' said a beautiful voice said as the dragon flew off into the air.
Mataras then gave the ok to come out, the group headed over and congratulated Silica for her bravery. Lisbeth followed behind in awe struck, after seeing what happened.
'Wow, you just got yourself a unique skill.' Lisbeth in awe.
Mataras whirled around, 'Tell anyone about this, and you watch your blacksmith shop burn to the ground.' He warned her, she nodded mutely getting the message.
'Take it easy, Mataras.' sighed Asuna, 'She's my best friend.'
'Well, at least we don't have to worry about Blizzardwing.' Diabel recommended.
'That's true.' Kirito replied, 'Now we got three dragons on our side, and one is full grown.'
'Can't argue with that.' said Akira, and patted Silica on her shoulder, showing how he was for her courage.
Lisbeth then turned to Silica, 'May I see your dagger? I'll appraise it for you.' she said.
'We better wait and do it after we get the metal.' suggested Mataras, as he stared down into the pit.
Akira knelt down on the edge of the dragon's nest, and looked downward, 'Looks like we'll find the metal down there, right?' he asked Mataras.
'Aye, and I got just the thing,' replied Mataras, as he went to access his menu to grab an item. 'Argo gave me this elastic-like rope, and I think it might work here. We've already field tested this rope before when we helped out Agil in looking for someone for a thief once. It really helped out.' he said. Silica grabbed it and tied it to the nearest stack of crystals.

'Better be careful though. One false step, and its a straight shot down.' Akira said, as a way to warn his party members. The group agreed, as they decided to one person should go down. Akira decided to volunteer to go and get the metal. 'Well here goes nothing.'
'Your insane.' Lisbeth said, as he slowly began his descent down into the pit.
When he reached the bottom, he saw that the nest was completely flat, with the ground being made of snow. So the only he could do to find the metal, to start digging. He figured that the players that failed the quest from before, didn't realize that the crystals eaten had to go somewhere. This is why he was here in the first place.
Sure enough, he found what the group was looking for, The Crystalline Ingot, and he had dug a huge amount. He added them to his inventory, and went over to the rope to start climbing up. However, he soon heard a squawk from above, and looked to see Pina, and Litrosh coming down to his level.
The rest of the group waited patiently for any sign of the dragons. 'Any sign of them?' asked Lisbeth.
'We're about to find out.' replied Silica.
'Dragons HO!' Mataras called out, and saw the two dragons returning form their recon, 'hold on…' he added.
He was referring to Akira, who was being held by the sleeves, as the dragons carried him up to the surface. 'Hey! Akira!' he called down.
The dragons dropped him on the ground next to the group as they returned to Mataras, and Silica. The group then ran over to him, and Silica reaching to give him a hug. 'I'm glad your okay.' she said in relief.
'It's okay, Silica.' said Akira as he comforted her, 'I also got what we came for.'
'Only one thing for us to do now,' Kirito said, as he turned to the group. 'Let's head back to town.' he added.
The group all nodded in agreement, as they began to head down, however, as they were about to reach the town, Akira accidentally slipped, and caused the whole group to do the same they landed on a huge sled, and it started to slide. The group started to cry out in fear, but was quickly changed to excitement as they got back town a lot quicker, and crashed into a snow bank, laughing themselves silly.
The group soon reached back to Lisbeth's shop, and got warmed up. Silica then handed over the glass dagger to Lisbeth for an appraise. 'The dagger is called, Dragon Fang, and it's a one of kind weapon.' Lisbeth reported.
'Hey Liz, can we do business?' asked Akira.
'Sure, what do you have?' Liz asked him.
Akira then opened his trade menu, to see for herself. This left her in awe.
'50 Crystalline Ingots!' Lisbeth screeched, and then laughed, 'I'll take them, but I'm not even sure I can even keep business up after this.' she smirked.
'Don't worry about it, but don't forget, you still have a pair of swords to make.' Mataras said, causing the others to nod in agreement.
Asuna was in awe struck to learn what Akira got while he was down in the nest. She soon realized that MBC really care for one another as a family, more than she realized.
The group then went into Liz's forge, 'So, to clarify, two one-handed longswords, right?' Liz said the group, who nodded.
Liz smelted the ingots in the furnace, then moved them to the anvil, while the entire group moved to different areas of the workshop, as Lisbeth began building the first sword. She smelted it with another metal and continued working on creating the blade.
Sword Art Online Lost Song Walkthrough
She was completely absorbed into her work, so they decided to not bother her. When the last stroke fell from Liz's hammer, the ingot began to change form in a bright flash of red.
Akira stepped up to the blade, and took in the beauty of the sword which was laid there. Carrying over one single trait, the metal sword was endowed in all shades of blue, with a symbol on the hilt in the shape of lightning bolt. The blades hilt was similar to the Moon Blade, and even the Sun Blade, but only like a blazing blue flame, more intense than regular orange flames.
'This sword is a unique, one of a kind weapon. It's called Azure Lightning.' Liz said, as she appraised the weapon. She put the sword on the side and started working on the the second sword.
When it was done, the blade appeared as a beautiful emerald green sword, Liz put her hammer down as she appraised it. 'This sword is Dark Repulser. Both swords are one of a kind.' She put the Dark Repulser next to Azure Lightning. Then two of the boys, Kirito, and Akira, took the the blades to try them out, Akira went first, and made several swipes with the blade, he smiled with the blades result fitted his the of fighting style.
Kirito followed afterwards, and did the same thing. 'Good?' Lisbeth asked.
Akira nodded, 'Mine is perfect, it fits within my style of fighting.' he said.
'Yeah, these are really good swords, in fact, they're great. It's like you put your entire soul into these swords.' Kirito added in agreement.
'Aye,' nodded Mataras, 'I would even have to call them real swords.' he added.
This made Lisbeth really proud of herself, knowing she did a job well done.
'May we add scabbards to the blades?' Silica asked.
'Sure, the scabbards are free. I would however, like to ask a question to The Moonlit Black Cats.' said Lisbeth, as she tossed two scabbards over to the group.
Akira nodded to her, 'Name it.' he said, and sent a trade request which made her jaw drop.
Liz was looking at her window, when her dropped at the offer, '3 million col?! Thanks?' she asked. She shook her head to get out of the shock, and cleared her throat to regain her composure, 'I would like to join your guild, you bring your weapons over and I can repair them, plus you can get a steady stream of income.' This made the guild, and Asuna look in shock at this request. Liz then added, 'You don't have to make a decision right now. Just think about it while I repair Asuna's sword.'
While Liz was working on the rapier in her workshop, The Cats were in the shop, thinking about her offer. They did a lot together in such a short amount time, and had a lot of fun too. The reasons she gave them were also good, and in the end, Akira finally spoke, 'I say we welcome her in. She might not look like it, but I can tell that Lisbeth really wants to do something here that help out others. In fact, I notice during the dungeon, that she looked concerned, and Diabel comforted her like a sibling would.' he said.
This made the point, and decided to welcome her into the guild. While in the workshop, Asuna seemed confused, 'Hey Liz, why did you ask to join their guild?' she asked.
Liz was still working on the blade as she answer, 'Well, ever since I worked at the shop, I never got to have any adventures, so I got really excited after everything that happened with them.' she said, 'Plus, I kinda see Diabel, the one who started the raid party, like an older brother, like Silica does to Akira.' she added, still sharpening.
Asuna nodded as she understood where she was going, 'It's actually the same with Sachi, she looks to Mataras the same way.' she replied.
Liz nearly finished as the two continued to talk, 'Okay, it's all done.' she said as she handed back Asuna her Rapier.
Asuna had just paid her, when the group came back down, all with a smile on their face. 'We talked it over Liz, and this is our answer.' Akira said.
Lisbeth soon saw a window appear that read, 'Akira would like you to join the Moonlit Black Cats. Do you accept?' She smiled, and immediately hit the yes button, and the guild symbol appeared next to her name, and health bar.
'Our base is pretty much a house on floor 2, come on, close down the shop for a bit so you can where we live, then you can come over whenever you want.' suggested Sachi.
'You wanna come along?' Kirito asked Asuna. She nodded in response as they headed out to the home of the MBC.
Lisbeth was given a welcoming party, and was well received by the guild members. Sachi now had the Dark Repulser on her back, and Akira had on his back, The Azure Lightning. Asuna was at the party as well to congratulate her best friend, for now joining in a guild.
'I'm glad, you told us about the place Asuna, now we have a blacksmith in our guild who can restore our weapons for free,' Kirito said to her, 'So the next time we find a good ore, I have Liz make an even better sword. I'll just have to make sure I do it myself next time.' The group chuckled at Kirito's lame excuse for a joke.
Sachi: It nice that I have a new sword, so I'm not complaining.
Akira: Yeah that's true, besides Kirito didn't need it anyway. He's good with the Elucidator.
Lisbeth: Your welcome.
Lauren: The next chapter is going to be fun.
