Rondo of the Transient Sword
Kirito and Asuna came across a Lesser Taurus Striker while mapping the 2nd floor of the 2nd Floor's Labyrinth. After Asuna saw the monster, she threatened it not to come closer. As it ignored her warning, Asuna charged at the monster with «Parallel Sting». After the first hit of the skill, instead of retreating to avoid the attack, she went in closer and dealt the second hit of the attack, finishing off the monster. Asuna then complained that the appearance of the monster was like a sexual harassment.
