20 Challenge and Yui-chan~
A year passed and they just cleared floor 80. In this year a lot of top guilds that has high reputation complained about his guild getting all the loots of the bosses.
Kuro immediately announced that they will not participate in any boss hunts with any other guilds or players. Since then the death counts of other guilds kept on increasing whenever they try to fight a boss.
Kuro released a statement that ruined the greedy guilds reputations "the deaths of your members came from your greed. So don't even try to put the blame of their deaths on us, we can clear this game without you, so why should we share our loots?" Staying true to his words, his guild kept on clearing floors with only their guild members.
Most of the guilds that took part in complaining about Kuro's guild became laughing materials for players gossip. Some disbanded and some just stopped trying to fight in the frontlines. Those with thick faces stayed but no one took them seriously anymore.

The players who really wanted to help clearing the game either joined KBO or Black Army. Right now Kuro is having a meeting with the new top five guilds.
Kuro: how many times do I have to repeat myself? You can challenge the floor boss if you want to but I won't send a single member of my guild.
Heathcliff: cooperation would make it easier. Kuro-kun I know some guilds pushed their luck too much when they asked you to give them the loots but we did not have anything to do with that.
Kuro: yes, but who can say for sure that it won't happen again? *eyeing all the guild leaders* I would rather clear this game with just my guild than work with greedy bastards.
Heathcliff: i, Heathcliff, can guarantee that you won't have to worry about my guild complaining.
The other guild leaders also promised that their guild won't complain. Kuro suddenly got an idea
Kuro: how about a duel? I will fight you four and if you guys win, I and my guild will start to cooperate again. But! If I win you guys will stop asking me to attend any kinds of meetings again.
Heathcliff and the others talked and agreed to Kuro's challenge. They arranged the fight for tomorrow 3pm, then they went back to their guilds and announced the result of the meeting.
As information about the duel got spread some people canceled their plans for the next day to watch the fight.

In a colosseum the audience seats are full of people, almost half of them are members of each guilds related to this fight. The girls of course got the best seats in the colosseum, the are all looking at the colosseum field where five players stand.
Kuro: don't make this too easy for me ok? Let me experience a good fight~
At the field Kuro was taunting them but they all look calm. Heathcliff or Kayaba Akihiko was even smiling like he already won.
Once the duel starts all four of Kuro's opponents spreads and surrounds him. Smiling at their stupidity Kuro disappeared from his spot and appeared beside the only attack based among them and slashed.
With just one slash he eliminated one already and the crowds roars. Looking at the three tanks he decided to slowly chip down their hp.
Doing a hit and run tactic he used his speed and making sure he doesn't get cornered. The crowd was shocked to see Kuro's performance, after a few minutes Heathcliff was the only one remaining.
Kuro: Kayaba Akihiko I want to make a bet with you.
Kayaba: *shocked* hmmm? What kind of bet?
Now that the other three is gone from the field he talks with Akihiko making a bet with him about working under him once the game is cleared.
Talking for some time, Kayaba asked how Kuro knew it was him and Kuro just answered "I just knew" while smirking. They resumed fighting Kayaba tried to cheat like he did with Kirito but Kuro still won because Kayaba did not want to be exposed so he stopped cheating.
After the fight Kuro accompanied the girls who went out shopping spending the money they earned betting on Kuro winning.

The next day Kuro found a little girl in front of their house unconscious so Kuro carried the cute little girl inside.
Asuna: Kuro....
All the girls stare at Kuro who was carrying the little girl, Asuna even stares at Kuro like he was a scum or a lowlife lolicon and would have immediately called the police if she had a phone with her.
Kuro: oi! don't stare at me like that! I found her in front of the house unconscious!
Kuro tried to explain but the would wait for the little girl to wake up before believing him. As they waited for the little girl to wake up Shizuka keeps on poking her cheeks because she is too cute to be left alone.
Kuro who wanted to do the same thing was blocked by the girls to protect the cute sleeping little girl from his hands. As Kuro protest the little girl wakes up and stares at them arguing while Shizuka keeps on poking her cheeks. Kuro finally noticed that the little girl is now awake he immediately told the girls to ask.
Shizuka: hello~ can you tell us where Kuro kidnapped you? We can help you go back~
Kuro: Shizuka *sobs* even you are like that.
Little girl: I don't know.
Asking more questions they concluded she doesn't remember anything aside from her name, Yui. The girls took the adorable Yui-chan to the bath and let her eat before letting her sleep. Kuro suddenly says
Kuro: Alright!! I have decided! I am adopting Yui-chan!!
Rika: Kuro don't joke around. We need to find her parents or siblings she is with. She managed to survive until now so she must have someone protecting her.
Kuro: no need to look. I know her background....
Kuro told them about Yui and the girls are shocked. He told them he was serious about adopting her, they agreed after some time as Yui was just too cute.
After Yui woke up they played with her and treated her like a daughter to be spoiled. Kuro immediately told sys to separate Yui from the cardinal system and get her data in his gear.

A few more days passed, Kuro and the others are currently at the field grinding mobs. Shizuka is carrying Yui watching them grind, Yui cheers for Kuro every time he kills a monster shouting "Papa is amazing~!" while clapping.
Kuro is being an Asshole Killing other peoples prey to make Yui cheer for him more. Kirito, Takashi, Kenji and even Souichiro could not take it any more and started attacking Kuro.
Hisashi: Kuro stop that. Even taking the battle junkies' prey is bad you know.
Kuro: but! Look at my adorable Yui-chan cheering for me!
When Yui started calling Kuro "Papa" the girls were shocked at how doting Kuro could be. Kuro even had sys create skills to prepare for when he creates a body for Yui in the real world.
Kuro stopped fighting and switched with Shizuka in carrying Yui. Now Yui cheers for the girls, she attaches mama at the end of their names.
Now it was the girls turn stealing other people's prey, and no one complained about it making Kuro stare at the people who attacked him. Being stared at by Kuro they forced a smile and looks away.
Suguha stopped fighting and talked to Yui about calling her mama too but the adorable Yui still calls her onee-chan. She has been convincing Yui since she started calling everyone mama, she even cried once when Yui told her she wasn't Kuro's wife so she can't call her mama.
Trying to calm the ready to cry Suguha, Kuro took out some snacks for them to eat. Suguha tried to bribe Yui with the snacks to call her mama but failed when Yui was dazed a little and remembered everything that she forgot.
Kuro noticed and informed everyone that they are going back. Not waiting for a response he used a teleport crystal followed by the girls.
Reaching home they waited for Yui to talk as she hesitate to tell them about herself. Kuro encouraged her to tell her story as they would never treat her differently even if she tells them she is a monster.
Yui looking at everyone smiling at her she finally decided to tell her story and how she ended up in front of their house.
Kuro and the girls just hugs her and tells her that she is now part of their family nothing will change. When Kuro informed her that she is now separated from the cardinal system she was shocked and happy. They took Yui to the children in the orphanage and let her play with them.
Suddenly Kuro received a message informing him that the boss room has been found and the boss is a huge ogre that has 6 arms with different weapons each.
