" Sounds like a good idea. " Kirito said and was glad that the others agreed.

" What deserts would you like? We have cakes and pies that are just right to take home. "The waitress said once she brought the bill.

"Can I have the new york cheesecake please?" Eve asked as Kirito asked for the slice of chocolate cake.

Gina asked for the cheesecake also and grinned when Kushina also made that choice.

" I'll have the carrot cake please. " Salem said. He had always liked carrot cake.

" Alright then. I'll be back in a jiffy with your desserts and the bill. " The waitress said and headed toward the kitchen.

As the waitress left, Salem asked if Eve had any other plans for them today.

"I'm not sure. What about you guys?" Eve asked Kirito and Kushina. She wanted to see the town again and see how things were progressing.

"Kushina-san and I want to spar with one another, if it is okay with you Eve-chan, Gina-san?" Kirito asked as he looked at his trainer and friend.

" It's fine with me. What do you think Gina?" Eve asked her friend, knowing that both Kirito and Kushina did want to spar.

"I don't mind," Gina said, knowing that Kushina wanted to test her kenjutsu against Kirito's swords after overhearing the two talk. "Just be careful, alright Kushina?" she asked.

" I will. Where should we spar? Gina do you think the park would be a good place?' Kushina asked. They had trained at the park before but that was before the Scientists and The School arrived.

"If that clearing is still there, then that would be a great place for you and Kirito to spar," Gina said.

" I hope it is. " Kushina said and smiled to see their desserts coming to them.

Kirito hoped that this place did still exist, curious as to what exactly would happen in their spar.

Eve saw the waitress coming with their deserts and the bill.

" Here you go. The dessert price is included in the price of the meals you picked. We all decided that it was a nice way to celebrate the opening of the restaurant."The waitress said and walked off.

" Eve. I'll pay for lunch." Gina said, since she was happy that everyone was having a great time together.

"Thank you for the info," Salem said before hearing Gina say that she would pay. "Are you sure?" he asked.

" I'm sure. " Gina said with a smile. " Just meet me outside and then we can head to the park. " She said and stood up.

"Alright," Salem replied as he got up, moving aside so that his girlfriend could get out of the booth, as well as Kirito before all three of them headed outside, waiting for Gina and Kushina.

" Hope you are having a good time. " Eve said to both Salem and Kirito once they were outside.

" I am " Kirito said with a smile and glad he was able to spar with Kushina.

"I'm out with my beautiful girlfriend. How can I complain?" Salem asked with a small grin.

Eve smiled. " I'm having a wonderful time too. It's nice to finally see the city rebuilding after everything that has happened." Eve said and smiled when she saw Gina and Kushina coming out of the restaurant.

"Agreed. I still feel ashamed for what I did with them though," Salem said lightly with his bag of desert, smiling just a bit when he saw Gina and Kushina exit the restaurant.

" Are we ready to go find the park?" Gina said with a smile. She was happy that everyone was getting along with each other.

"I think we are," Eve replied.

" Then follow me. "Gina said and went down the street. She hoped it was still there,since it was where she had spent most of her early days as a trainer.

Eve and the others followed Gina, Kirito silently hoping that the clearing was still there.

Gina grinned as she saw the trees in the distance. " We are in luck! It's still here. I was afraid that the whole park wasn't here anymore. " She said.
