Dude. Props. Props for writing for, in my opinion, the most underrated pairing for SAO, and mad props for doing it well. More or less in character, compelling (also more or less, but hey), and overall, well done. Props.

Please update, I ship it!

Huh... it's the first time I've seen a fic pairing Shino and Rika, and I liked it... Just one thing though: Rika is older than Asuna, and after the events of Phantom Bullet, I believe she's 19? I'm not really sure. That means that she's old enough to drink (I don't know how the policy of consumption of alcohol works on Japan, so I might be wrong), but that's just a minor detail. I thought that the title is very clever and I loved your writing... shame that this isn't M-rated and is just an one-shot, it'd be a great story with two/three chapters with a little lemon, but that's alright. I loved it, seriously, it's a rough diamond among dirt. I don't really use to write reviews, but here you go.
