Kirito's Ar Part 4 Finale

When he awoke the next day, he felt normal enough and decided to go downstairs and face the shame that he dealt himself yesterday.

“Kirito you're up!” Selka yelled, hearing him walk down the stair. “Good… oh my god! What happened to you!?” she yelled seeing the state of his clothes, which now looked like rags.

“Selka what’s wrong…Kirito, what happened to your clothes!” Alice yelled in shock.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” He asked, still not seeing a problem in his current state due to his own pride.

“Kirito why are your clothes in such a state?” Asuna asked him, seeing what was going on now.

“They didn’t fit me properly, so I fixed them,” he said back to them.

“Kirito if you were having problems with your clothes, I would have gotten you new ones,” Alice said worried about her little brother. He was thirteen years old and still causing her trouble.

“Then why don’t we go right now?” he asked her, thinking that it would be a simple fix.

“We can’t,” she said back to him. “The village tailor is out for the next three days getting new fabric and there is no one to man their shop while they are gone.”

“Then what do you expect me to do then?” he asked her.

“Selka please bring Kirito to your room and allow him to bother one of your dresses,” Alice said, sad that she had to resort to this, but Kirito didn’t give her any other choice.

“Yes, big sister~!” Selka said happily, before grabbing the now-stunned Kirito and dragging him to her room. She had always wanted to see he adopted brother in a dress, and it would seem that her prayers were finally being answered. This was truly God's work at hand.

“…Um Selka are you sure that you don’t have any pants?” Kirito asked her, embarrassed to be in the room of a girl that was once much shorter and younger than him, but with his current age and height, there wasn’t as big of a difference as there was before.

“Sorry, Kirito I do not,” Selka said, lying to Kirito. She had one pair of pants, but she wasn’t going to mess this chance up. “Oh, and when you wear the dress, you have to wear this as well~,” she said holding up a pair of pure white bloomers in front of him.

“What!? No way!” Kirito yelled at her. “There’s no way that I’m wearing those!”

“Well, I guess that you don’t have to, but if you don’t my sister will be upset with you and make your punishment even worse,” Selka said to him. She knew that her big sister wouldn’t punish him for this, but it was fun to make him think that.

“…Fine,” Kirito said, reluctantly agreeing to her demand, embarrassingly putting on his new bloomers and then putting on Selka’s spare dress with her help.

“OMG! You look adorable~!” Asuna squealed with delight, seeing Kirito walk down the stairs in a dress, with his face bright red from embarrassment.

“I do agree, it suits you,” Alice said, teasing him. If his hair was longer, she might have actually mistaken him for a girl if she didn’t know any better.

“Please… stop…” Kirito keep his head down as the girls surrounded him.

“Yui, can you get me some pics of this?” Asuna whispered into Yui’s ear so Kirito wouldn't hear her and feel more embarrassed, though in truth that would just make him look even cuter~!

For the rest of the day Kirito was forced to be gawked at by all the girls that were in the house. When nighttime hit, he was glad that he could finally take a bath and be rid of these girl clothes while he slept.

“Oh, Kirito it’s just you, please come in,” Alice said, seeing that Kirito opened the door to the bath without even realizing that they were there.

“I’m sorry!!!” Kirito yelled, turning around to leave, but Asuna grabbed his hand, holding him in place.

“There is no need to be sorry,” Alice said to him. He was young enough that it didn’t even matter if he bathed with them. And after what happened today, it was hard to see him as a boy in the first place. Besides, hopefully, a bit of skin-to-skin contact would help them get along better as siblings. He may not be related to her by blood, but she loved him nonetheless.

“Come, sit down and I’ll wash yours back~,” she said leading him to the stool in the bathroom and sitting him down.

“Hehehehe~,” Asuna giggled seeing how close the two of them were. They really were like siblings. She hoped that Kirito would also see her as his big sister one day.

After bathing with the two girls Kirito was about to make his way back to bed, but Alice stopped him.

“And where do you think you’re going?” she asked him.

“To bed?” Kirito said, confused as to why she stopped him.

“In that?” she said pointing out that he was still in a towel.

“Yes,” Kirito said to her, wondering why this even had to be a conversation between them.

“No, I will not allow it, here, wear this, she said handing him one of Selka’s spare pink nightgowns, that they left in the bathroom.

“What? No way am I wearing that,” he said to her.

“Really? Do you really want to tell me no?” Alice asked him. It was going to be chilly tonight and she didn’t want him to catch a cold, but she doubted that he would listen if she told him that.

“…Fine,” Kirito said, placing the pink nightgown over his body, before storming out of the room. He knew that in his current state he current fight her, but once things go back to normal, he would make her pay.

The next day when Kirito woke up, he changed out of his pink nightgown and into Selka’s dress and bloomers. It was embarrassing, but it was only for two more days. Soon he would have proper clothes that fit him again.

“Good morning, Kirito, did you sleep well?” Selka asked him, concerned since it was freezing last night, and she had forgotten to give him a nightgown to wear to bed.

“I’m fine he said, actually grateful for the nightgown, but he wasn’t going to admit to them.

“That’s good to hear,” Alice said to him. “Because Asuna and I both agreed that you need to start building up more stamina and today’s the perfect day to do so.”

“But I’m in a dress!” Kirito complained to them.

“So, it will keep you warmer while you run,” Asuna said to him.

While neither of them minds that they bathed with him last night he still needs to learn his lesson about knocking, and this isn’t his first offense either. Perhaps this little punishment will teach him a lesson or two.

“But-”

“But what?” Alice asked him. “I thought that you wanted to get stronger. This is the only way that you’re going to accomplish that. So, let’s get going~!”

All four girls playfully pushed Kirito out of the house and made him run around the village in Selka’s dress. All at the same time kids and adults around the village came to watch him, making him feel more embarrassed with every lap.

He wanted to cry, but he forced himself to stay calm and focus on running. However, went he was about to finish his laps he tripped over the hem of his dress falling face-first onto the ground, displaying his cute bloomers for all to see!

“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!”

The members of the town that saw couldn’t help but laugh at him, causing his face to become even redder from embarrassment!

Feeling the immense shame of showing his bloomers to the entire town, he ran home and didn’t speak to the girls for the rest of the night. They tried to apologize to him, but he was just too embarrassed to talk to them.

For the final day, he was supposed to wear a dress Kirito spent the day in his room. Selka not wanting him to be alone spent the day there teaching Kirito how to sew and do chores, but to his dismay, he wasn’t too good at them either. He would constantly pick himself in the finger with the needle or drop the plates when he tried to put them away.

Though thanks to Selka, Kirito didn’t feel awkward about wearing a dress for the entire day or the fact that in the morning Yui had confirmed that he was now twelve years old and the same height as Selka. His hair had started to grow over the past three days since he started wearing the dress actually starting to make him look like a girl from a distance.

“Alright, Kirito let’s go inside,” Alice led the five of them into the clothing store the next morning. Kirito was still wearing a dress but was happy that he would soon be out of it.

“Asuna is that you!?” Silica asked coming out from behind a rack of clothes.

“Silica, what are you doing here?” Asuna asked her.

“I was in the area,” Silica said to them. “Oh, you must be Alice and Selka, Asuna has told me all about you two, and… hmm who are you?” she asked looking at Kirito. “Your face is familiar, have we met before?”

“Um, Silica that’s Kirito,” Asuna said to her surprise.

“Pfft! That’s Kirito? But he looks so cute,” Silica said, unable to believe that the kid that hung around them in SAO could be this cute.

“It’s true,” Kirito said to her.

“…Well…it’s a good look on you,” Silica said to him, trying not to be mean since based on his expression he didn’t want to talk about it.

“Thanks… I’m going to get myself some normal clothes right now, he said to her, leaving the group to gossip amongst themselves while he just picked out a plain pair of jeans and a t-shirt. There was nothing else that he needed to get.

“Kirito are you sure that’s all you want?” Alice asked, worried that her little brother was worried about the cost of the clothing.

“I think that this one would suit you best,” Yui said pointing over to a cutely black outfit, trying to help her friend.

“No, I think that he would look better in this one~,” Selka said to him, pointing to a light blue and white set of clothes, with small amounts of frills coming off of it.

“No, that won’t do,” Asuna said, picking out an outfit that looked like a male version of her own. “This one would look the best on him,” she said hoping that if he dressed similarly to her, people would think that they were siblings.

After a good hour of bickering in the clothing store, Kirito was finally freed and allowed to go home wearing the clothes that he initially chose, though that didn’t stop the girls from buying the clothes that they suggested him to wear as well.

Days went by and Silica started to stay with them as well, she constantly teased him when she could, to try and make him smile, but he was a tough nut to crack.

Luckily for him that in these past few days the shrinking and de-aging stopped and he could finally start to make progress with his training. It would be hard, but he wouldn’t give up. This wasn’t the first time that he had to start his life over as a kid, and he was determined to gain back everything he lost. It was time for him to begin his comeback!

BEEP… BEEP…BEEP….

“So, how’s he doing in there?” Asuna asked Kikuoka Seijirou, a lead employee of Rath, viewing Kirito from a separate room.

A week ago, Kirito had signed up to test out a new system for Rath to see how the human mind would react as its body slowly regressed, and luckily for Kirito outside the occasional mood swings, he was fine. With his help, they could implant this system into their games sooner rather than later.

“He’s doing fine,” Seijirou said back to her. “In fact, it might be good for you to try the system out as well. We have yet to properly test this on females, so it could provide valuable data. So, what do you say?”

“I say that let’s do this!” Asuna said to him. “Kirito isn’t the only one that is allowed to have fun~!”
