As I was turning my head to the item list that listed the items that I had gained over hours of fighting, Cline started speaking in an unusually high voice. “It’s really not there. You take a look Kirito.” “I told you that there’s no way that it’s not there…” I muttered with a sigh as I clicked on the button on the top left to go back to the menu screen. The inventory window on the right closed and it went back to the main screen. At the left of the silhouette, which still had quite a lot of empty spaces, there was a long row of buttons. I moved my hand down in a movement that had almost become a habit and— My body froze. It wasn’t here. As Cline had said, the button that had been there during the beta test—no, even right after I’d logged on—had disappeared. I stared at the empty space for a couple of seconds, then looked through the menu, making sure that it hadn’t just changed its position. Cline looked up with “Right?” written on his face. “…not there, right?” “Yeah, it’s not there.” I nodded, although it felt slightly annoying to agree so easily. Cline smiled and started rubbing his thick chin.
