With the beautiful ring designed like an angel's wings in her hand, Silica looked up nervously.
Their eyes met. The black-haired swordsman gave a small smile as he slowly nodded, "That's the
reward item for the «Angel's Ring» quest, which showed up recently. Its proper name is «Ring of
Angel's Whisper». It doesn't really raise stats, but it does have a pretty powerful magic ability..."
"...Magic...ability?"
"Yep. It can send voice messages to registered players once a month. You know, Silica, don't you
send me messages about that often? It must be tough for you to think of what to write each time, so
you can use that ring like a cellphone from now on."
"...Like a...cellphone?" She eyed the ring in her hand again.
In other words, this ring had never had an underlying meaning... It was only meant to be a
convenient way to communicate...
"...Umm..." Lost for a moment on how to react, Silica took a deep breath, then broke into a smile.
"...Thank you very much, Kirito-san. I'm so happy!" She gently held the ring with her right hand and
equipped it on her left hand's ring... nope, index finger.
No matter the connotations, it didn't change the fact that she was able to receive a ring from someone
whom she loves on her birthday. It'd be too greedy to ask for anything more.
The current front line was Floor 74. The clearing of the floating castle was no more than three-quarters
complete. The estimated time for reaching the highest floor was another year and Silica's secret goal
was to join the clearers there.
I'll never miss a month contacting him with this ring until that day. Making up her mind, a pure joy,
after some time lag, spread through Silica's body from the depths of her heart. A wide grin lit up her
face once more and she uttered, "Daddy said that my fourteenth October 4th would be a special
birthday. And it's true!"
On her shoulder, perhaps Pina sensed her master's emotions, as she also spread her wings wide and
happily cooed, "Kyururururu!"
However, in the end, Silica never sent her voice to Kirito with «Angel's Ring».
Approximately one month after her birthday, on November 7th, Sword Art Online was cleared with 25
floors remaining.
The steel floating castle collapsed and resurfaced about half a year later in the skies of another world.
With the new Aincrad as the setting, this time Silica took on the challenge to obtain «Angel's Ring»
through her own power
But that's another story.
