An awkward silence filled the atmosphere as Rozen brazenly was late for more than half an hour. It was no wonder that other Players were pissed at him.

But there were still some friendly faces who welcomed him.

“You’re late again, Rozen. Not that it’s something new, though.”

It was a dark-skinned, tall and burly Player with a Two-Handed Axe on his back, with other muscular players behind him.

It was Agil.

“Oh, I didn’t expect you to come as well.” Rozen, who noticed the familiar face, was slightly surprised.

Agil and his party always participated in every Floor Boss Raid. They were clearers who have been fighting along with Rozen and the others. However, he neither joined any guild nor created any, he just showed up in every Floor Boss Raid with his party.

There was one reason behind this.

“I prefer doing business compaed to fighting.”

That was right.

Besides one of the clearers, Agil was also a businessman. He‘d buy secondhand items and equipment from other Players and sold it at a higher price. He was notorious for utilizing his scary face and bulky build to intimidate the customers when it came to negotiating the price.

Because of that business, although he always participated in Floor Boss Raid, he rarely participated in Field Boss Raid, and that was the reason why Rozen was slightly upon seeing Agil there.

“Considering what happened on the 25th Floor, we don’t know what will happen. Plus, now that the Aincrad Liberation Squad was no longer part of the clearers, our overall strength is greatly reduced, so I think it’d be better to participate in this one.

Agil said in a heavy voice, and his party members nodded in response.

Although Rozen has asked Argo to notify the clearers that the 26th Floor’s difficulty won’t escalate suddenly like on the 25th Floor, it was normal if Agil was uneasy about this.

There was also another Player who spoke to Rozen besides Agil.

“Even in this situation, you’re still as lax as ever.”

It did sound frivolous and impudent, but he meant no harm.

The owner of the voice was a man in a samurai armor wearing a red bandana on his forehead. He looked like a lone samurai at first glance, but he seemed friendly upon closer look.

Rozen didn’t say anything, and Kirito deliberately averted his gaze from him.

The man noticed the Kirito and waved toward him.

“Hey, Kirito, you sure have it rough again today because of your leader.”

Kirito smiled wryly and had no choice but to say something back.

“You’re as lively as usual, Klein.”

Klein.

That was the name of this samurai-like Player. Despite his personality, he was quite a capable Player. He was one of the clearers and the leader of a guild named Fuurinkazan.
