You mean this?

Spoiler for volume 9 part 2 "kirito's need to escape":

To the nickname she hadn't been called by for more than five years, Shino inadvertently stood up as she gave a broad smile.
"Asuna, hello."
Yuuki Asuna made a lively sound from the natural wood floorboards as she walked along, the two girls then joined their fingertips to each other in a pleasant reunion. As they sat down on the chairs side by side, Kazuto, who had a slight expression of amazement asked,
"You two...... when did you become this close?"
"Huh? Last month I even spent a night over at Asuna's."
"W-What!? And I haven't even been to her house yet."
"Wasn't Kirito-kun the one who said 'I need to be mentally prepared' and escaped?"
