After Yuuki took Asuna to an inn in Ronbaru, she introduced her to the other members of the Sleeping Knights: Jun, Nori, Siune, Talken and Tecchi. Yuuki then told her that the guild wanted her help in defeating the next Floor Boss with just one party. Siune explained that the group wanted to defeat the boss in order to etch all of their names on the Monument of Swordsmen, as they would not be able to adventure together after winter and thus decided to make a memory that they would never forget.
After some thinking, Asuna agreed to help and meet with the Sleeping Knights the next day but before departing, she asked Yuuki if she recalled fighting a certain Spriggan and asked why did they not choose him instead. After a short pause, Yuuki told Asuna that the Spriggan was not chosen because he managed to discover her secret before the end of their fight. Some time later, while Asuna was walking at the Teleport Gate plaza, she was disconnected from the game by her mother who then told her that she was late for dinner. After an unpleasant conversation with her mother, Asuna headed to a park in another residential area. There she considered calling Kazuto, but decided that she did not want to expose her weakness to him.
The next day, she met up with the Sleeping Knights and they easily managed to reach the boss room. However, Asuna detected several players hiding near the boss room. As the players claimed that they were just waiting for their friends, the group entered the boss room. But, during the battle, Asuna noticed that the party were actually spying on the boss battle with the use of the «Peeping» spell. After the Sleeping Knights and Asuna respawned in Ronbaru, Asuna told the others what she had discovered and they decided to rush to the boss room again before the guild they encountered had enough time to gather a raid group. Although the guild had not manage to prepare yet, there were enough players gathered at the boss room door to seal off the area.
As the guild rejected the request of the Sleeping Knights to let them try again, even though the large guild was not yet ready, Yuuki declared that they would fight it out and assaulted the raid group's leader. At that point, the rest of the boss raiding guild came to the scene, but then Kirito who was following them ran past them via a wall and blocked their path.
