Sword Art Online Pina Edition

The Fourteenth Autumn (十四回目の秋) is a side story that takes place in Aincrad 35th Floor on October 4th, 2024. It tells the story about one of Kirito and Silica's meetings.

Plot
After the 73rd Floor is cleared, Silica invites Kirito to the «Weathercock Pavilion» inn in the town of Mishe on the 35th Floor to celebrate his victory. While they're tasting Silica's favourite nut tart, Pina shows interest in Kirito's slice of tart, even though familiars should only be interested in food if their owner personally feeds them. Kirito allows the dragon to eat a slice of the tart and before Silica can put her dragon down on the floor, Pina nimbly dodges Silica and, after flying a small lap, lands on Kirito's head, where she assumes a sleeping position and falls fast asleep.

While apologizing to Kirito, Silica slips that she loves him and tries to cover it, but messes up. Kirito suddenly brings his menu out and materializes a white box with a blue ribbon. He proceeds to say that he solved the riddle that she gave him a month before, and explained that he discovered her real name and that it was her birthday.

Silica opens the box and finds a ring. She misunderstands the reason for this specific gift at first, but then Kirito tells her that the ring can be used as a cellphone to communicate with him by voice once a month. However, she never got to use it, because the game was cleared about a month later.

In New Aincrad, she decided to look for the «Ring of Angel's Whisper» and obtain it, this time through her own power.
