Sword Art Online Material Edition 16

Sugary Days 7 (シュガーリィ・デイズ7), released at COMITIA 113 on August 30, 2015, is the 16th Material Edition written by Kunori Fumio. The story is a direct sequel to Sugary Days 6 and is the seventh chapter in the Forest Home series.

Part 1
On October 26, 2024, in order to acquire materials for Mahokl the woodcrafter, Asuna and Kirito arrived to Rovia, the main town of the 4th Floor of Aincrad. Since there were no stalls with the necessary items, the couple decided to gather the materials themselves. To that end, the two travelled to the eastern wharf, where their old gondola, Tilnel, was moored. The sight of the gondola triggered their memories of Kizmel and the Elf War campaign's tragic end, assailing the two with regret. Although plagued by the desire for a second chance at the campaign, Asuna and Kirito decided to focus on the future and continue on their journey.

Part 2
Using Tilnel, Asuna and Kirito reached the forest area, where they hoped to find a «Magnatherium», a bear-like monster known for dropping «Legendary Bear Fats». The moment the couple wanted to start the hunting, they heard faint voices coming from the north-eastern side of the forest, where, upon arriving, they noticed a Magnatherium pursuing two low-level players. Deciding to help, Asuna and Kirito blocked the charging beast's way, resulting with the bear abruptly stopping and using its fire breath attack. Once Kirito easily deflected it with «Spinning Shield» sword skill, Asuna activated «Quadruple Pain» and effortlessly killed the monster. After the two low-level players thanked for being saved, Kirito expressed interest in whether the pair were on the «Shipwright of Yore» quest. Although reluctant to admit it, the two players professed that they were actually doing the Elf War campaign, since they were really interested in the next part of the story.

Having given the newly-met players some of the «Legendary Bear Fats» that had dropped from the defeated Magnatherium, Asuna and Kirito parted ways with them. Alone again, the couple killed the next bear that spawned in order to gather enough of the required material for themselves. Once enough materials were gathered, the two returned to Rovia, where Asuna pondered whether the pair from before had saved Kizmel at the start of the elf quest. Despite his doubts, Kirito assured her that it could be possible, before the couple returned to Algade, the main town of the 50th Floor of Aincrad.
