Sunshine Forest

The Sunshine Forest (ひだまりの森) is a dungeon on the 20th Floor of Aincrad.

Description
The Sunshine Forest is a somewhat dense forest that is dotted with multiple shrubs and bushes with multiple clearings. The trees reach several meters tall, though one can easily see through its canopy.

The dungeon’s safe area consists of multiple layers of cobblestone walls with a plot of grass atop each layer. It can be inferred that this safe area rather consists of a run down temple.

On May 9, 2023, the Moonlit Black Cats entered the Sunshine Forest to level up, during which they fought a Killer Mantis. Seeing Sachi was too intimidated by the monster’s appearance to switch out with Sasamaru, Kirito switched in her place. After severing a scythe-arm and deflecting the other, he called out to «switch» with Tetsuo, who then finished the Killer Mantis off.

The Moonlit Black Cats then rested in the safe area, where Keita wondered with Kirito about the leading Clearers on the 28th floor. The rest of the guild joked with Keita about his dream to have them join the front lines, to which Keita responded with that it was not wrong to dream big, though he stated everyone would first need to reach Level 30 for that end.
