Mishe

Mishe (ミーシェ) is the main settlement of the 35th Floor of Aincrad. It used to be the main adventuring area for mid-level players in February, 2024, however, as the upper floors were unlocked, the city soon became far less populated.

Description
Mishe is a rather urban, medieval town with wide cobblestone roads and closely built 2 to 5-storey houses. The buildings within the city have timber frames, with the spaces in-between the beams filled with wattle (woven branches) and daub (clay and straw), and umber-brown wooden shingle roofs.

The Teleport Gate plaza is a wide rectangle which is bordered by castle wall-like archways.

Notable Locations

 * The «Weathercock Pavilion» - famous for their cheesecakes.

The Black Swordsman (Aincrad 35th Floor, February 2024)
Kirito and Silica come to this city after exiting the Forest of Wandering. As Silica had been staying at an inn in this city for 2 weeks now, she brings Kirito to the Weathercock Pavilion without realizing that she had led him here without telling him anything. After being asked where he lives, Kirito decides that it would be too much of a bother to return to his place at Algade, so he decides to spend the night in Mishe in a room at the same inn as Silica was staying. As they are about to enter the Weathercock Pavilion, they run into Silica's previous party and Rosalia uses the chance to tease the girl about the loss of her pet Pina. After promising that she is going revive her pet, they enter the inn, where they drink Kirito's «Ruby Ichor» wine. After eating and conversing, they go upstairs to their rooms. However, after failing to fall asleep, Silica comes over to Kirito's room, where she asks him to tell her more about the 47th Floor. While Kirito tells her about their route, Kirito senses someone eavesdropping and runs out off the room to check, but the person had already ran away. He then asks Silica to wait while he sends a message, but while waiting, Silica falls asleep on his bed. The next day, after an embarrassing awakening, the two head out for the city of Floria.

The Fourteenth Autumn
Ever since their adventure in February, Silica invites Kirito to the Weathercock Pavilion about once a month under the ruse of celebrating the Clearers boss raid victories. After the 73rd Floor is cleared, Silica invites him for another so-called celebration party to celebrate her birthday as well, though without telling Kirito about the special occasion.

Trivia

 * In the novel, the town was described as a pastoral, farm-like village with white houses and red roofs.
