SIGN In 2022, humanity has finally
SIGN created a complete virtual environment.
[00:17] VoiceOverGirl
It's time for this week's MMO Stream.
[00:21] VoiceOverGirl
We began with a promotional video.
[00:23] VoiceOverGirl
Was this the day of last week's launch?
SIGN End of Line
[00:25] VoiceOverGirl
What were all these people waiting in line for?
[00:27] VoiceOverGirl
Sword Art Online.
[00:30] VoiceOverGirl
The one at the front of the line waited
for three days prior to launch.
[00:32] VoiceOverGirl
Amazing!
[00:33] VoiceOverGirl
Or is this just what any real gamer would do?
SIGN Sword Art Online Project Director Kayaba Akihiko
[00:36] VoiceOverGirl
On today's MMO Stream, we'll be covering the
[00:39] VoiceOverGirl
internationally famous Sword Art Online, AKA SAO!
[00:43] VoiceOverGirl
To be honest,
[00:45] VoiceOverGirl
none of the NerveGear software released so far
[00:47] VoiceOverGirl
has really taken advantage of the hardware.
[00:49] Sister
Brother...
[00:50] VOGirl2
Yeah, it's all sucked.
[00:51] VOGirl
But SAO was made by the NerveGear inventor,
[00:51] Sister
I'm off to practice.
[00:55] VOGirl
Kayaba Akihiko,
[00:57] VOGirl
and it's a long-awaited VR MMORPG.
[00:59] VOGirl
I can't wait!
[01:00] VOGirl
The beta testers all said it was incredible.
[01:03] VOGirl
I wanted a copy...
[01:04] VOGirl2
Only ten thousand copies were
sold in its first printing.
[01:06] VOGirl2
It sold out online in seconds.
[01:08] VOGirl2
And as you saw,
[01:09] VOGirl2
hardcore fans bought all the store copies.
[01:27] K
Link start!
SIGN Character Creation
Beta test data still available.
Would you like to use it?
[02:01] K
I'm back in this world!
SIGN The World of Swords
SIGN Floor 1: Town of Beginnings
[02:32] Players
So like I told him...
[02:34] Players
Hey, let's make a party.
[02:36] Players
Hmm, maybe...
[02:38] Players
Oh, come on!
[02:44] Kl
Hey, you there!
[02:49] K
Me?
[02:54] Kl
You move like you've been here before.
[02:56] Kl
You were in the beta test, right?
[02:58] K
Y-Yeah.
[02:59] Kl
Today's my first day.
[03:02] Kl
Show me the basics, okay?
[03:04] K
U-Uh...
[03:06] Kl
I'm begging you!
[03:08] Kl
My name's Klein.
Nice to meet you.
[03:12] K
I'm Kirito.
SIGN Floor 1: Town of Beginnings, West Field
[03:18] Kl
Right in the crotch...
[03:22] K
Give me a break.
[03:23] K
You don't feel any pain, right?
[03:26] Kl
Oh, yeah.
[03:27] Kl
Just habit, I guess.
[03:29] K
I told you.
[03:30] K
What's important is your
initial motion input.
[03:32] Kl
Sure, I get that...
[03:35] Kl
But he keeps moving around.
[03:38] K
If you do the motion input right,
[03:41] K
and activate a sword skill,
[03:50] K
the system will ensure that
the technique connects.
[03:53] Kl
Motion input... Motion input...
[03:57] K
How should I put it?
[04:01] K
Add a slight pause, and when you
feel the skill begin to activate,
[04:05] K
let it explode.
[04:07] Kl
Explode?
[04:32] Kl
All right!
[04:36] K
Congrats.
[04:40] K
However...
[04:42] K
That boar's about as weak as
slimes in other games.
[04:45] Kl
Seriously?
[04:47] Kl
I thought it was a mid-level
boss or something.
[04:50] K
Of course not.
[04:55] K
Pretty exciting, isn't it?
[04:56] Kl
Yeah!
[05:00] Kl
There are lots of skills, right?
[05:01] Kl
Like blacksmithing and stuff?
[05:04] K
Yeah.
[05:06] K
I've heard there are an unlimited number of skills.
[05:09] K
However, there's no magic.
[05:12] Kl
An RPG without magic?
[05:14] Kl
That's a pretty bold decision.
[05:21] K
Isn't it more fun to move
your body as you fight?
[05:26] Kl
You're right!
[05:29] K
Okay, let's head to the next one.
[05:31] Kl
Yeah, let's keep going!
[05:41] Kl
I still can't believe it, no matter
how many times I see it...
[05:44] Kl
That we're in a game.
[05:47] Kl
Whoever made it is a genius.
[05:51] Kl
It's really amazing...
[05:53] Kl
Seriously, I'm glad I was born in this time.
[05:55] K
You make a big deal out of everything.
[05:57] Kl
It's my first full dive!
[06:00] K
Then this is your first time
playing a game with NerveGear?
[06:05] Kl
I rushed out and bought the
hardware to play SAO.
[06:10] Kl
I was really lucky to get one of
the ten thousand copies.
[06:15] Kl
Well, you were ten times as lucky,
getting into the beta test.
[06:20] Kl
Only a thousand people got to do it.
[06:23] K
I guess so.
[06:25] Kl
How far did you get in the beta?
[06:29] K
Over a couple months, only to Floor 8.
[06:33] K
This time, it'll only take a month.
[06:37] Kl
You're really into this.
[06:39] K
To be honest, during the beta test,
[06:42] K
SAO was all I thought about, day and night.
[06:47] K
In this world, a single blade can take
you anywhere you want to go.
[06:51] K
It's a virtual world,
[06:54] K
but I still feel more alive here
than I do in the real one.
[07:00] K
Now then, want to hunt some more?
[07:04] Kl
Of course!
[07:05] Kl
I'd love to,
[07:08] Kl
but I'm really hungry...
[07:09] Kl
I'm logging out.
[07:11] K
Eating food here only makes you
think you're not hungry.
[07:15] Kl
I already ordered a hot pizza for 5:30.
[07:18] K
You're so prepared.
[07:19] Kl
Yup!
[07:20] Kl
Well, once I've eaten, I'll be back.
[07:24] K
I see.
[07:25] Kl
Hey,
[07:26] Kl
after this, I'm meeting up with some
people I know from another game.
[07:32] Kl
Want to friend them, too?
[07:38] Kl
Of course, if you don't want to, that's okay.
[07:41] Kl
I'll introduce you another time.
[07:43] K
Yeah, sorry.
[07:46] K
Thanks.
[07:47] Kl
Hey, that's my line.
[07:50] Kl
I'll repay you for this sometime...
[07:53] Kl
Mentally.
[07:56] Kl
Thanks so much, man.
[07:59] Kl
I'll see you around.
[08:01] K
If there's anything else you
want to know, just tell me.
[08:05] Kl
Yeah, I'll do that!
[08:14] Kl
Huh?
[08:16] Kl
There's no button to log out.
[08:18] K
Look closer.
[08:21] Kl
No, it's not there.
[08:24] K
At the bottom of the main menu...
[08:30] Kl
See? Not there.
[08:31] K
No, it isn't.
[08:34] Kl
Well, it's the first day out of beta.
[08:37] Kl
There are bound to be some bugs.
[08:39] Kl
I'm sure the server people are freaking out...
[08:42] K
In a second, you will be, too.
[08:44] It's 5
It's 5:25.
[08:48] Kl
My teriyaki mayo pizza and ginger ale!
[08:51] K
Just hurry and call the game master.
[08:55] Kl
I tried, but nothing's happening.
[08:58] Kl
Is there any other way to log out?
[09:04] K
No, if a player wants to log themselves out,
[09:07] K
they have to go through the menu.
[09:10] Kl
That's nuts.
[09:11] Kl
There's gotta be some way.
[09:13] Kl
Return!
[09:14] Kl
Log out!
[09:15] Kl
Escape!
[09:22] K
I told you...
[09:24] K
There wasn't an emergency logout
in the manual, either.
[09:28] Kl
You're kidding, right?
[09:30] Kl
I know.
[09:31] Kl
I'll just rip the NerveGear off my head...
[09:33] K
You can't.
[09:34] K
We can't move our real bodies.
[09:38] K
The NerveGear intercepts anything
[09:42] K
we tell our bodies to do here.
[09:45] Kl
Seriously?
[09:47] Kl
So we have to wait for them to fix the bug?
[09:50] K
Or for someone in the real world
[09:53] K
to remove the NerveGear from us.
[09:56] Kl
But I live alone.
[09:58] Kl
What about you?
[10:00] K
I have a mom and a sister.
[10:02] K
So I think they'll notice by dinnertime...
[10:06] Kl
H-How old's your little sister?
[10:09] K
She's on a sports team,
[10:12] K
and she hates games.
[10:13] K
She has nothing to do with people like us.
[10:15] Kl
That doesn't ma—
[10:20] Kl
Right, it doesn't hurt.
[10:21] K
More importantly, don't you find this weird?
[10:24] Kl
Sure, I do.
[10:26] Kl
It's a bug.
[10:27] K
It isn't just a bug.
[10:29] K
If we can't log out,
[10:31] K
that'll pose a serious problem
for the game's future.
[10:35] Kl
Come to think of it, you're right.
[10:37] K
If they wanted to,
[10:40] K
they could just shut down the
server and log everyone out.
[10:43] K
But there isn't even an announcement...
[11:16] Players
What's going on?
[11:18] Players
I don't know.
[11:19] K
A forced teleport?
[11:29] Player
Up there.
[11:35] K
That's...
[11:53] Kl
What is that?
[12:01] Player
A game master?
[12:02] Player
Why doesn't he have a face?
[12:04] Player
Is this an event?
[12:05] Player
I'm scared...
[12:06] Player
It's fine.
[12:07] Player
It's just another part of
the opening ceremony.
[12:10] BigSpooky
Attention, players.
[12:12] BigSpooky
Welcome to my world.
[12:15] K
"My world"?
[12:17] BS
My name is Kayaba Akihiko.
[12:19] BS
As of this moment, I am the sole person
who can control this world.
[12:26] Players
Is that really him?
[12:27] Players
He must've spent a lot of time on this.
[12:29] K
I'm sure you've already noticed
[12:31] K
that the logout button is
missing from the main menu.
[12:36] K
But this is not a defect in the game.
[12:40] K
I repeat...
[12:41] K
This is not a defect in the game.
[12:43] K
It is a feature of Sword Art Online.
[12:46] K
A-A feature?
[12:48] BS
You cannot log out of SAO yourselves.
[12:51] BS
And no one on the outside
[12:54] BS
can shut down or remove the NerveGear.
[12:58] BS
Should this be attempted,
[13:00] BS
the transmitter inside the NerveGear
will emit a powerful microwave,
[13:04] BS
destroying your brain and
thus ending your life.
[13:07] Players
What?
[13:10] Players
Come on, enough already.
[13:12] Players
Let's go.
[13:14] Players
Hey, I can't get out!
[13:17] Kl
What's he talking about?
[13:19] Kl
He's gotta be nuts.
[13:21] Kl
Right, Kirito?
[13:22] K
He's right that the transmitter's signals
work just like microwaves.
[13:27] K
If the safety were disabled,
it could fry a brain.
[13:29] Kl
Then, if we cut the power...
[13:32] K
No, the NerveGear has an internal battery.
[13:38] Kl
But this is crazy.
[13:39] Kl
What's going on?!
[13:41] BS
Unfortunately, several players'
friends and families
[13:44] BS
have ignored this warning,
[13:46] BS
and have attempted to remove the NerveGear.
[13:50] BS
As a result, two hundred and thirteen players
[13:55] BS
are gone forever, from both
Aincrad and the real world.
[13:59] K
Two hundred and thirteen?
[14:01] Kl
I don't believe it...
[14:02] Kl
I don't believe it!
[14:03] K
As you can see, news organizations
across the world
[14:07] K
are reporting all of this, including the deaths.
[14:11] K
Thus, you can assume that the danger
SIGN Multiple Victims in Online Game Incident
[14:15] K
of a NerveGear being removed is now minimal.
[14:18] K
I hope you will relax and
attempt to clear the game.
[14:24] K
But I want you to remember this clearly.
[14:27] K
There is no longer any method to
revive someone within the game.
[14:31] K
If your HP drops to zero,
[14:33] K
your avatar will be forever lost.
[14:36] K
And simultaneously,
[14:38] K
the NerveGear will destroy your brain.
[14:58] ---
There is only one means of escape.
[15:01] ---
To complete the game.
[15:04] ---
You are presently on the
lowest floor of Aincrad,
[15:07] ---
Floor 1.
[15:09] ---
If you make your way through the dungeon
[15:11] ---
and defeat the Floor Boss,
you may advance to the next level.
[15:14] ---
Defeat the final boss on Floor 100,
and you will clear the game.
[15:18] Players
Clear?
[15:19] Players
What's he talking about?
[15:20] Players
Y-You're just making that up!
[15:23] Kl
Clear all hundred floors?
[15:26] Kl
That's impossible.
[15:28] Kl
The beta testers never made
it anywhere near that high!
[15:32] BS
Finally,
[15:34] BS
I've added a present from me
to your item storage.
[15:38] BS
Please see for yourselves.
SIGN Mirror
[15:44] K
Mirror?
[15:51] K
Klein?
[16:04] Kl
You okay, Kirito?
[16:05] K
Y-Yeah...
[16:08] K
Who are you?
[16:09] Kl
And who are you?
[16:15] Players
You're a guy?
[16:16] Players
You were lying about being seventeen?
[16:18] K
Which means...
[16:20] K
You're Kirito? You're Klein?
[16:23] Kl
How?
[16:24] K
That scan...
[16:26] K
The NerveGear covers your entire head
with a high-density signaling device.
[16:30] K
So it can see what your face looks like.
[16:33] K
But our height and body shape...
[16:35] Kl
When we first used the NerveGear,
it had us calibrate it, right?
[16:39] Kl
You had to touch your body all over.
[16:43] K
O-Oh, right...
[16:44] K
That must be where it got the data.
[16:46] Kl
But... But...
[16:49] Kl
Why?
[16:50] Kl
Why do all this, anyway?
[16:53] K
I'm sure he'll tell us.
[16:55] BS
Right now, you're probably
wondering, "Why?"
[16:59] BS
Why would Kayaba Akihiko,
[17:01] BS
developer of Sword Art Online and
the NerveGear, do all this?
[17:06] BS
My goal has already been achieved.
[17:09] ---
I created Sword Art Online for one reason...
[17:13] ---
To create this world and intervene in it.
[17:17] K
Kayaba...
[17:18] BS
And now, it is complete.
[17:24] BS
This ends the tutorial for the
official Sword Art Online launch.
[17:31] BS
Good luck, players.
[18:08] K
This is real...
[18:12] K
The genius who created the NerveGear
[18:15] K
and created a completely virtual space,
[18:18] K
Kayaba Akihiko.
[18:20] K
I admired him, so I can tell...
[18:24] K
Everything he just said
[18:26] K
is true.
SIGN This is a game, but it isn't something you play. —Sword Art Online Programmer Kayaba Akihiko

I will die in real life!
[18:36] Girl
No!
[18:40] Players
Screw you!
[18:41] Players
Let me out! Let me out of here!
[18:43] Players
I can't stay here...
I have a meeting after this!
[18:45] Players
What are you thinking?
[18:49] Players
Let us go!
[18:51] Players
Tell us it's a lie!
[18:53] Players
Someone!
[18:54] Players
Can't anyone do something?
[18:57] K
Come with me, Klein.
[19:01] K
Listen to me.
[19:02] K
I'm heading to the next village right now.
[19:05] K
Come with me.
[19:07] K
If what he said is true,
[19:10] K
the only way to survive in this world is by
making yourself as strong as possible.
[19:14] K
The resources within a virtual MMORPG,
[19:18] K
in other words, the money and
EXP we can earn, are limited.
[19:22] K
The fields surrounding the Town of Beginnings
will soon be hunted clean.
[19:27] K
To do this efficiently,
[19:28] K
we should head to the next village now.
[19:31] K
I know all the paths and dangerous areas.
[19:34] K
Even at level 1, I can get there safely.
[19:37] Kl
But... But you know...
[19:41] Kl
I spent a whole night in line to buy this
with my friends from the other game.
[19:48] Kl
They're out there, in the plaza.
[19:51] Kl
I can't leave them.
[19:58] K
If it were just Klein...
[19:59] K
But two more...
[20:01] K
Or even one more...
[20:03] Kl
Sorry.
[20:05] Kl
I can hardly ask you for anything else, can I?
[20:09] Kl
So don't worry about it.
Go to the next village.
[20:14] Kl
I used to run a guild in my last game.
[20:18] Kl
I can use what you taught me to get by!
[20:22] K
All right.
[20:24] K
Then let's say goodbye here.
[20:27] K
If something happens, send me a message.
[20:29] Kl
Will do.
[20:31] K
Okay, goodbye, Klein.
[20:33] Kl
Kirito!
[20:40] Kl
Hey...
[20:41] Kl
Kirito.
[20:43] Kl
You were actually pretty cute.
[20:48] Kl
That's my type.
[20:52] K
And that unkempt face of yours
suits you ten times better.

Okay, let's get started, people!
[02:23] D
Thank you for coming today.
[02:27] D
My name is Diabel.
[02:29] D
I like to consider my "job" as Knight.
[02:33] Players
There's no job system in this game!
[02:35] Players
A knight?

All right,
[03:16] ---
then let us begin our planning.
[03:20] D
First, divide into parties of six.
[03:24] Players
Of course we'll be in the same party.
[03:24] D
An ordinary party has no chance
against a floor boss.
[03:27] Players
I'll be the leader.
[03:28] D
We'll need to form a raid group
using multiple parties.
[03:30] Player
Let's do this.
[03:40] K
You got left out, too?
[03:43] A
I wasn't left out.
[03:45] A
I just stayed out of it because everyone
seemed to know each other already.
[03:49] K
A solo player?
[03:51] K
Then, want to form a party with me?
[03:54] K
He just said we can't beat
the boss on our own.
[03:57] K
So just for this fight?
[04:16] D
Okay, have you formed your parties?
[04:20] D
Then—
[04:20] Kb
Just a second!
[04:29] Kb
My name's Kibaou.
[04:31] Kb
I wanna say something
before we take on the boss.
[04:36] Kb
Some of you here need to apologize
[04:39] ---
to the two thousand who have died so far!
[04:45] D
Kibaou-san,
[04:46] D
are you referring
to the beta testers?
[04:52] Kb
Of course I am!
[04:54] Kb
On the day this stupid game started,
the beta guys ditched us beginners,
[04:58] ---
and they all disappeared.
[05:00] Kb
They took all the good hunting spots
[05:02] ---
and easy quests for themselves,
[05:05] Kb
so only they could get stronger.
[05:07] Kb
And then, they just ignored the rest of us.
[05:11] Kb
I'm sure someone here was in the beta!
[05:15] Kb
They should get on their knees and apologize,
[05:17] Kb
and give up all the items and
money they've hoarded.
[05:21] Kb
Otherwise, we can't trust them to
protect us as party members,
[05:24] Kb
and they shouldn't trust us!
[05:30] E
May I speak?
[05:39] E
My name is Egil.
[05:41] E
Kibaou-san, tell me if I have this right.
[05:44] E
You're saying that because the beta
testers didn't take care of them,
[05:47] ---
many beginners died.
[05:49] E
That they should take responsibility,
apologize, and provide compensation.
[05:52] E
Correct?
[05:53] Kb
Y-Yeah.
[05:57] E
You got this guide book, didn't you?
[06:00] E
It was provided for free at the item store.
[06:03] Kb
Sure, I did...
[06:04] Kb
Why?
[06:05] E
It was compiled from information
given by the beta testers.
[06:09] Players
Seriously?
[06:12] E
Listen.
[06:13] E
Everyone had equal access to this information.
[06:16] E
And even still, many players died.
[06:18] E
I thought the topic of discussion here
[06:20] ---
was what we could learn from their deaths,
[06:23] ---
and how that can help us defeat the boss.
[06:38] D
All right.
[06:40] D
Then, can we resume?
[06:43] D
The latest edition of that guide book was just issued,
[06:46] ---
and it contains information on the boss.
[06:50] D
According to it, the boss's name
is Illfang the Kobold Lord.
[06:55] D
He is guarded by assistants
known as Ruin Kobold Sentinels.
[06:59] D
He is armed with an axe and a buckler.
[07:02] D
He has four health bars,
and when the last one enters the red,
[07:06] ---
he switches to a curved
sword-type weapon called a Talwar.
[07:09] D
His attack pattern changes, as well.
[07:12] Players
Wow...
[07:15] Players
Amazing.
[07:19] D
This concludes the briefing.
[07:21] D
Lastly, items will be
automatically distributed.
[07:26] D
EXP goes to the party
that defeats the monster.
[07:29] D
And whoever receives an item keeps it.
[07:32] D
Any objections?
[07:37] D
Okay, we leave tomorrow,
at ten in the morning.
[07:41] D
See you there!
[08:18] K
It's pretty tasty, isn't it?
[08:22] K
May I sit down?
[08:35] A
Do you really think it's good?
[08:37] K
Of course.
[08:39] K
I've been eating at least one daily,
ever since arriving in this town.
[08:42] K
I do change it up a little, though.
[08:45] A
Change it up?
[08:48] K
Trying putting some on the bread.
[09:01] A
Cream?
[09:25] K
It's the reward for a quest called
[09:28] ---
"The Heifer Strikes Back,"
one village behind us.
[09:31] K
If you want to do it, I'll show you the trick.
[09:34] A
I didn't come to this town to eat good food.
[09:39] K
Then, why did you?
[09:42] A
So I can still be me.
[09:45] A
I'd rather stay myself until the
very end than sit and rot away
[09:50] ---
at an inn, back in the first town.
[09:55] A
Even if I get killed by a monster,
[09:57] ---
I don't want to lose to this game...
[09:59] ---
To this world.
[10:01] A
No matter what.
[10:08] K
I wouldn't want a party
member dying on me...
[10:12] K
So at the least, don't die tomorrow.

However, Diabel, you were a beta tester.

I wish you wouldn't compare
me to those newbies.

W-What?!
[19:28] K
Most of the thousand beta
testers were beginners

who didn't even know how to level up.
[19:37] K
You guys are better than they are.
[19:42] K
But I'm not like them.
[19:47] K
I made it higher than anyone
else during the beta test.
[19:53] K
The reason I knew the boss's skills
[19:55] ---
is because I fought monsters with
katana skills on floors far above us.
[20:01] K
I know a lot more.

Lately, you've been taking big
risks with your level-raising.
[13:36] K
Did you get any new information?
[13:39] A
Nothing worth charging money for.
[13:42] K
What a useless information broker.
Pretty unusual for you.
[13:44] A
This is a first-time event.
It wasn't in the beta test.
[13:47] A
There's no way to get information.
[13:50] A
On Christmas Eve...
[13:52] A
In other words, late tonight,
[13:54] ---
the event boss, "Nicholas the
Renegade," will appear.
[13:57] A
Beneath a certain fir tree.
[14:00] A
The big guilds are searching pretty hard for it.
[14:06] A
You have an idea where it is, don't you?
[14:09] K
Maybe.
[14:10] A
You're seriously going to try and solo it?
[14:17] K
In this world, the dead won't return.
[14:23] K
But there's a rumor that
Nicholas the Renegade
[14:26] ---
drops an item that can revive the dead.
[14:32] K
If I try and fight him alone,
[14:36] ---
I'll probably die.

I'll die in a place where no one will see me,

leaving nothing behind.

That's right.

killed you.

Sachi?
[19:32] K
Merry Christmas, Kirito.
[19:36] K
By the time you hear this,
[19:39] ---
I'm guessing I'll be dead.
[19:41] K
How to explain it...
[19:44] K
To tell the truth,
[19:45] K
I never really wanted to leave
the Town of Beginnings.
[19:51] K
But if I keep feeling like that,
[19:53] ---
I'll probably die someday.
[19:56] K
And it's no one's fault.
[19:58] K
It's my own problem.
[20:01] K
Ever since that night,
you've continued to tell me
[20:04] ---
each night that I won't die.
[20:08] K
If I'm killed, you'll probably blame yourself,
[20:13] K
so I decided to record this.
[20:17] K
And I know your true strength.
[20:22] K
I accidentally saw it a while ago.
[20:25] K
I thought really hard about why
[20:28] ---
you would hide your level and join us,
[20:31] ---
but I never did figure it out.
[20:35] K
But when I learned how
strong you really were,
[20:41] K
I felt so relieved.
[20:43] K
So even if I die,
[20:46] K
you keep living, okay?
[20:48] K
Live to see the end of this world,
[20:51] K
and to see why it was born...
[20:53] K
The reason why a weak girl
like me ended up here...
[20:56] K
And the reason you and I met.
[21:01] K
That's what I want you to do.
[21:04] K
There's still plenty of time left.
[21:06] K
Since it's Christmas, I'll sing a song.
[21:44] K
Bye, Kirito.
[21:46] K
I'm so glad I met you,
[21:50] K
that I could be with you.

On the south side of Floor 47,

called the Hill of Memories.
[04:48] K
I've heard that the flower that
blooms at its top can revive a pet.
[04:55] S
Floor 47...
[04:58] K
If you gave me the GP, I'd go for you...
[05:02] K
But if the pet's owner isn't there,
the flower won't bloom.
[05:07] S
That information is enough.
[05:09] S
If I work hard to raise my level,
then someday...

They can only be revived for
three days after death.
[05:16] S
No...

It's my fault.

I'm so sorry, Pina.

Don't worry.

I apologize for that.

Oh, if it isn't Silica.

You made it out of the forest.

Is something wrong?
[07:46] S
No, nothing.
[07:48] K
Huh?

What happened to the lizard?
[07:51] K
Could something...
[07:53] S
Pina died.
[07:55] S
But I'm definitely bringing her back!

But at your level, will you
be able to clear it?
[08:06] K
She will.
[08:07] K
It isn't that hard.
[08:10] S
You're another one she's seduced?
[08:13] S
You don't look particularly strong to me.
[08:17] K
Let's go.
[08:22] S
Why is she so mean?

Is SAO your first MMO?
[08:29] S
Yes.
[08:30] K
In any online game,

a lot of people's personalities change.
[08:34] K
Some enjoy playing as outright villains.
[08:37] K
Our player indicators are green, right?
[08:40] K
However, if you commit a crime,
the indicator will turn orange.
[08:44] K
The worst criminals, player killers,
[08:47] ---
those who've killed someone,
[08:49] ---
are known as red players.
[08:52] S
You mean murderers?
[08:53] K
In any other game,
[08:55] ---
they could've had fun while role
playing as the bad guy.
[08:58] K
However, Sword Art Online is different.
[09:03] K
This game isn't really a game at all.
[09:07] S
Kirito-san...
[09:10] K
I'm sorry.
[09:15] S
You're a good person!
[09:16] S
You saved me!
[09:20] K
Seems like you've cheered me up instead.
[09:23] K
Thanks, Silica.
[09:28] S
Our cheesecake is late!
[09:32] S
Excuse me, our dessert
hasn't arrived yet...
[09:41] S
If I told him I wanted to talk a little more,
[09:44] ---
would he laugh at me?
[09:46] K
Silica, are you still up?
[09:49] S
K-Kirito-san?
[09:50] K
I forgot that I had more to
tell you about Floor 47...
[09:54] K
Want to go over it tomorrow?
[09:55] S
It's fine.
[09:56] ---
I was just thinking about that...
[10:02] S
That was close.
[10:07] K
Silica, is something wrong?
[10:09] S
No, it's nothing.
[10:11] S
What's that item, Kirito-san?
[10:14] K
It's called a mirage sphere.
[10:24] S
It's so pretty!
[10:26] S
Here's Floor 47's town area.
[10:29] S
And this is the Hill of Memories.
[10:31] S
So we'll be following this route...
[10:35] S
Kirito—
[10:36] K
Who's there?
[10:40] S
What was that?
[10:42] K
They heard us.
[10:43] S
But unless you've knocked,
you can't hear through a door...
[10:48] K
It's different if your listening
skill is high enough.
[10:50] K
But few people invest
the time to raise it.
[10:53] S
Why would they want
to listen in on us?

Ah, nothing at all...
[11:39] K
Let's go.
[11:41] S
Right...
[11:46] S
What's this?

If anything unexpected happens,

use this crystal to jump to any town.
[11:55] S
But...

Promise me.
[11:59] S
All right.

Okay, let's get going.

This path leads to the Hill of Memories.

Um, Kirito-san...

Calm down, Silica!

It's really weak!
[12:30] S
K-Kirito-san, save me!

Don't look, but save me!
[12:34] K
That's impossible.
[12:37] S
S-Stupid thing...
[12:38] S
That's enough!
[12:55] S
Did you see?
[12:58] K
No, I didn't.
[13:01] S
Kirito-san,
[13:03] S
could I ask you about your sister?
[13:06] K
Why now, all of a sudden?
[13:07] S
You said I look like her.
[13:11] S
I know it's impolite to ask
about the real world.
[13:14] S
But would it be okay?
[13:16] K
I called her my little sister,
[13:18] ---
but she's actually my cousin.
[13:21] K
We grew up together,
so I don't think she knows.
[13:26] K
Maybe that's why...
[13:28] ---
I've been distancing myself from her.
[13:31] K
Our grandfather's really strict.
[13:33] K
When I was eight, he made us
attend a local kendo dojo.
[13:38] K
I stopped after two years.
[13:40] K
My grandfather beat me up.
[13:42] S
That's terrible...
[13:44] K
So my sister said
[13:46] ---
that she'd put in enough
effort for both of us,
[13:48] ---
and to stop hitting me.
[13:51] K
She worked really hard after that,
[13:52] ---
and made it to the nationals.
[13:55] S
That's amazing.
[13:58] K
But I always felt bad about it.
[14:01] K
Like maybe she would rather have been doing something else,
[14:06] K
and secretly holds it against me.
[14:08] K
So it's possible that I'm helping you because
it feels like a way to atone to my sister.
[14:13] K
I'm sorry.
[14:15] S
I don't think that your sister hates you.
[14:19] S
You can't work that hard
for someone who you don't like.
[14:23] S
I'm sure that she really loves kendo!
[14:27] K
You keep reassuring me.
[14:31] K
Maybe you're right.
[14:32] K
I hope so.
[14:36] S
Okay...
[14:37] S
I'll do my best, too!
[14:44] S

we get back to town.
[15:46] K
I'm sure

she'd prefer it that way.
[15:48] ---
Yeah.

[16:06] R
If you can see through my hiding skill,

your detection skill must be
quite high, Swordsman.
[16:11] R
It appears you managed to
get the Pneuma Flower.
[16:17] R
Congratulations.
[16:18] R
Now hand it over.
[16:21] S
W-What are you talking about?
[16:23] K
That isn't going to happen, Rosalia-san.
[16:26] K
Or should I say
[16:27] ---
leader of the orange guild, Titan's Hand.
[16:33] S
But she's green!
[16:36] K
It's a simple trick.
[16:37] K
The green members find targets,
[16:40] ---
and lead them to where the
orange players are waiting.
[16:44] K
That was one of your friends
listening to us last night, right?
[16:48] S
Then, the reason we were in the
same party for two weeks...
[16:52] R
That's right.
[16:54] R
I was assessing its strength,
[16:56] ---
while waiting for them to earn
money from adventures.
[17:01] R
You were the prey I was
most anticipating.
[17:03] ---
It was unfortunate that you left,
[17:05] R
but then you said you were
getting a rare item.
[17:08] R
However, you knew all that,
but went with her anyway.
[17:12] R
Are you an idiot?
[17:13] ---
Or did she actually really seduce you?
[17:16] K
No, neither of the above.
[17:19] K
I've also been searching
for you, Rosalia-san.
[17:22] R
What are you talking about?
[17:24] K
Ten days ago, you attacked a
guild called the Silver Flags.
[17:28] K
Four people, all but the leader, died.
[17:31] R
Oh, the ones with no money...
[17:33] K
Their leader went from the warp point
[17:35] ---
to the front lines, from morning until night,
[17:39] ---
begging someone to avenge them.
[17:43] K
But he didn't want you killed.
[17:45] K
He wanted someone to jail you.
[17:49] K
Can you understand how he felt?

Thanks for today.

For watching over me.
[06:30] K
Ah, no problem...
[06:32] A
The towns are safe areas,
so no one can attack

or player-kill you.
[06:40] A
But it's different when you're asleep.
[06:42] K
Yeah.

Sleep-PKs, dirty tricks that

[06:47] K
Normally, duels are just

But during a duel,

HP can go down, even in a safe zone.

There's no one inside.
[08:40] K
Just what
[08:41] K
is this?
[08:43] A
The obvious conclusion
[08:45] A
is that the challenger
impaled the victim with that spear,
[08:48] ---
put a noose around his neck,
and pushed him out this window.
[08:52] ---
Wouldn't you say?
[08:54] K
But no one had the Winner message.
[08:57] A
That's impossible.

in a safe area is via duel.

Either way, we can't ignore this.

Yeah.

If someone's found a way to
PK within safe areas,

Y-Yes.

I just came here to eat dinner

with the man who was killed.
[10:25] Y
His name is Kains.
[10:28] Y
We used to be in the same guild.
[10:31] Y
But we got separated in the plaza.
[10:34] Y
I looked around,
[10:35] ---
and I saw him hanging from
the church window...
[10:41] A
Did you see anyone else?
[10:45] Y
It was just for a second,
[10:47] ---
but I thought I saw someone behind Kains.
[10:52] A
Did that person look familiar?
[10:56] Y
No...
[10:58] K
I hate to ask this...

But do you know why anyone
would've wanted to kill Kains?

Thank you

Don't worry about it.
[11:24] A
We can talk more tomorrow.

Okay...

So, now what?
[11:36] A
Let's review what we know.
[11:39] A
If we learn where that spear came from,
[11:41] A
it might lead us to the perpetrator.
[11:44] K
Then we'll need someone
with an appraisal skill.

You don't...

have one, obviously.
[11:50] A
Of course not.
[11:51] A
Nor do you.

Also,

must you address me so curtly?
[11:56] K
U-Um...

Just call me Asuna.
[12:11] K

[12:12] K
Anyway, do you have any friends
with an appraisal skill?

A weapons merchant friend has it...
[12:20] A
But this is their busiest time,
[12:22] A
so it may take a while.
[12:25] K
I see.

Hey, Kirito.

I don't know about that second part.

Don't go slandering my good name.

Wh-What's happened, Kirito?

You're a solo player, so what're
you doing here with Asuna?
[13:05] E
Didn't you two not get along?
[13:10] E
Someone's HP dropped to
zero within a safe area?
[13:12] E
And it wasn't a duel?
[13:14] K
No one saw a Winner message.
[13:16] A
If he was walking with
Yoruko-san right before,
[13:19] ---
then it's not a sleep-PK.
[13:22] K
The method is too involved
for some random duel.
[13:26] K
We can assume it was
a premeditated PK.
[13:29] K
And so, we come to this.
[13:41] E
It's a player-made weapon.
[13:42] K
Really?
[13:43] A
Who made it?
[13:45] E
Grimrock.
[13:47] E
Never heard of them...
[13:49] E
Not any top-ranked bladesmith,
I can tell you that.
[13:51] E
And there's nothing particularly
unusual about the weapon.
[13:54] A
But it should still be a clue.
[13:57] K
Tell us its item name, too.
[14:00] E
Let's see...

SIGN The Next Day
[14:57] A
Hey, Yoruko-san,
[14:59] A
have you ever heard
the name "Grimrock"?
[15:05] Y
Yes.
[15:06] Y
He was a member of the guild that
[15:09] ---
Kains and I were once in.
[15:12] K
When we had the spear stuck in
Kains-san's chest appraised,
[15:16] ---
we found out that it was
made by Grimrock-san.
[15:22] K
Can you think of any reason
why that would be?
[15:27] Y
Yes, I can.
[15:30] Y
I'm sorry I wasn't able to
tell you yesterday.
[15:34] Y
I wanted to forget.
[15:35] Y
It's something I don't really
want to remember.
[15:39] Y
However, I'll tell you.
[15:43] Y
What destroyed our guild...
[15:51] Y
Our guild's name was Golden Apple.
[15:56] Y
Six months ago,
[15:57] ---
a rare monster we defeated
[16:00] ---
dropped a powerful ring
that raised agility by 20.
[16:04] Y
We were divided on whether
to use it for the guild,
[16:07] ---
or sell it and split the earnings.
[16:11] Y
But in the end, we put it by vote.
[16:15] Y
The vote went 5-3 in favor of selling it.
[16:20] Y
Our leader, Griselda-san,
was going to stay overnight
[16:24] ---
at a large town on the front lines,
to give it to a broker.
[16:28] Y
However, she never came back.
[16:36] Y
Later,
[16:37] Y
we learned that she'd died.
[16:42] Y
I still don't know why.
[16:46] K
No one would leave a safe zone
with that kind of rare item.
[16:50] K
Which means a sleep-PK?
[16:53] A
Six months ago would have been just
before the method really spread.
[16:57] K
But it's hard to think it's a coincidence.
[17:00] K
Whoever attacked her must have been
a player who knew about the ring.
[17:05] K
In other words...
[17:07] Y
One of the other seven
members of Golden Apple...
[17:12] K
The most suspicious ones would be
those who opposed selling it.
[17:16] A
You mean they attacked Griselda-san
[17:19] ---
to get the ring before it was sold?
[17:22] K
Probably.
[17:24] K
Who's Grimrock-san?
[17:26] A
He was Griselda-san's husband.
[17:29] A
Just within the game, naturally.
[17:33] A
Griselda-san was a powerful swordsman.
[17:36] A
Pretty.
[17:37] A
And smart.
[17:40] A
Grimrock-san was a kind man
who was always smiling.
[17:44] A
They made a great couple,
and they got along well.
[17:49] A
If he was the one responsible
for yesterday's murder,
[17:53] A
he must be after the three
who opposed selling the ring.
[18:00] A
Two of the three were myself and Kains.
[18:05] K
Then who's the other?
[18:07] Y
A tank named Schmidt.
[18:09] Y
I've heard he's on the front lines now,
with the Holy Dragon Alliance.
[18:14] K
Schmidt?
[18:16] K
I've heard that name...
[18:18] Y
He leads the Holy Dragon
Alliance's defense forces.
[18:21] Y
He's a big lance-user.
[18:24] K
Oh, him.
[18:25] Y
You know Schmidt?
[18:27] K
I've only seen him a few times
while clearing bosses.
[18:31] Y
Could you let me talk to him?
[18:34] Y
He probably hasn't heard
about what occurred.
[18:38] Y
And what happened to Kains
could happen to him...
[18:44] A
Let's call Schmidt-san.
[18:46] A
I know someone at the
Holy Dragon Alliance.
[18:49] A
If we go to their HQ,
perhaps we can talk to him.
[18:51] K
Then first, we should get
Yoruko-san to an inn.
[18:55] K
Yoruko-san,
[18:56] K
don't leave the inn until we return.
[19:01] Y
All right.
[19:08] A
How do you think the
murder was carried out?
[19:12] K
I see basically three possibilities...
[19:14] K
The first is a fair duel.
[19:17] K
The second is through an exploit
that combines known methods.
[19:23] A
Yeah, I can see that.
[19:24] A
And the third?
[19:26] K
Some skill we don't know about,
which bypasses safe areas.
[19:30] K
Or possibly an item.
[19:32] K
No, the third is impossible.
[19:36] A
Why?
[19:37] K
It's unfair.
[19:39] K
I kind of hate to admit it,
[19:41] ---
but SAO's rules are essentially fair.
[19:45] K
I can't imagine this game
allowing murders in safe areas.
[19:59] Sc
Is it true that Kains was killed
with Grimrock's weapon?
[20:06] Y
It is.
[20:08] Sc
Why would Kains be killed
after all this time?!
[20:10] Sc
He...
[20:12] Sc
Did he steal the ring?
[20:14] Sc
Was he the one who killed Griselda?
[20:18] Sc
Does Grimrock plan to kill the three of us
[20:20] ---
who opposed selling the ring?
[20:22] Sc
Is he after you and me, too?!
[20:24] Y
It could be another member,
[20:27] ---
and Grimrock-san just made them the spear.
[20:30] Y
Or perhaps
[20:31] Y
it may be Griselda-san's revenge...
[20:35] Y
Only a ghost could kill someone
[20:38] Y
inside a safe zone.
[20:44] Y
I stayed awake
[20:45] Y
all last night, thinking...
[20:49] Y
In the end, all of us were
the ones who killed her!
[20:54] Y
When that ring dropped,
we shouldn't have ever voted...
[20:58] Y
We should've just done what she wanted!
[21:05] Y
Grimrock-san was the only one
[21:07] Y
who said we should simply
let Griselda-san decide.
[21:12] Y
So he has the right to take revenge
[21:17] ---
for Griselda-san on the rest of us.
[21:21] S
You're kidding me.
[21:23] S
You're kidding me...
[21:24] S
After all this time,

[02:33] A
You idiot!
[02:34] A
What were you thinking?
[02:39] A
Well? What happened?
[02:42] K
It was no use.
[02:43] K
He teleported away.
[02:45] K
The system protects the inns.
[02:49] K
I was certain she'd be safe here.
[02:52] K
Damn it.
[02:55] Dude
That robe was Griselda's.
[02:59] Dude
It was Griselda's ghost...
[03:02] Dude
She's come for revenge on us all!
[03:06] Dude
Why couldn't a ghost PK in town?
[03:12] K
That was no ghost.
[03:15] K
The two safe area murders
[03:17] ---
have to work using some logic
that involves the system.
[03:21] K
They just have to.
[03:26] A
Was that black robed figure
really the ghost of Griselda-san?
[03:32] A
Seeing those two deaths happen in front of me
[03:35] ---
makes me wonder if it could be true.
[03:37] K
No, that's impossible.
[03:41] K
A ghost wouldn't need
a teleport crystal.
[03:46] K
A teleport crystal...
[03:47] A
What is it?
[03:50] K
No, it's nothing.
[04:02] A
Here.
[04:04] K
You're giving it to me?
[04:05] A
What else would I be doing?
[04:08] A
You think I'm showing
it off or something?
[04:10] K
U-Uh, then thanks.
[04:14] K
Its durability is nearly at zero,
[04:16] K
so you should eat up
before it disappears.
[04:19] A
Y-Yeah.
[04:26] K
This is really good.
[04:29] K
When did you make this?
[04:32] A
Didn't I say its durability
was about to run out?
[04:35] A
I thought something like
this might happen,
[04:37] ---
so I prepared these this morning.
[04:39] K
I guess you are in charge of the
Knights of the Blood Oath attack teams.
[04:43] K
Where is this from, anyway?
[04:45] A
It wasn't for sale.
[04:48] A
It isn't from a store.
[04:49] A
You know, I can cook, too.
[04:55] K
W-Well,
[04:56] K
you could've put this up for auction
[05:00] K
and made yourself a lot of money.
[05:08] A
I don't have any more, got it?
[05:16] A
What's wrong?
[05:21] K
That's right...
[05:22] K
That's it!
[05:24] A
What?
[05:25] A
What did you just figure out?
[05:27] K
I...
[05:28] K
We...
[05:30] K
never actually saw a thing.
[05:32] K
We just thought we did.
[05:33] K
But we really saw something else.
[05:36] K
There never was a weapon
[05:37] ---
or any kind of logic
[05:40] ---
that would allow killing
within the safe areas!
SIGN Floor 19: Cross Hill
[05:47] Guy
Griselda...
[05:49] Guy
The only way I can survive
is with your forgiveness.
[05:55] Guy
I'm sorry... I'm so sorry!
[05:57] Guy
Forgive me, Griselda!
[05:59] Guy
I never imagined this would happen!
[06:07] G
Really?
[06:12] G
Really? Really?
[06:35] G
What did you do?
[06:39] G
What did you do to me, Schmidt?
[06:44] Guy
I... I only...
[06:46] Guy
The day we decided to sell the ring,
[06:47] Guy
a note and crystal just appeared
in my belt pouch,
[06:50] Guy
and the note told me to...
[06:51] ?
Who told you?
[06:54] ?
Who told you to?
[06:59] Guy
Grimrock?
[07:01] Guy
You're dead, too?
[07:04] ?
Who?
[07:05] ?
Who gave you these orders?
[07:08] Guy
I-I honestly don't know!
[07:11] Guy
The note just said to bind
the crystal to the room
[07:14] ---
where she was staying,
so they could enter,
[07:17] Guy
and then to put the crystal in
the guild's shared storage...
[07:21] ?
And?
[07:22] Guy
That was all I did!
[07:25] Guy
I never meant to get her killed.
[07:29] Guy
Believe me... Please!
[07:38] Yoru
We recorded all of that, Schmidt.
[07:51] A
Th-They're alive?!
[07:53] K
Yeah, they're alive.
[07:55] ---
Both Yoruko-san and Kains.
[07:57] A
B-But...
[07:59] K
Inside a safe zone,
player HP won't just drop.
[08:02] K
But an object's durability will.
[08:05] K
Like with that sandwich.
[08:08] K
Back then,
[08:09] K
Kains's armor was pierced by that spear.
[08:12] K
The spear was draining the armor's
durability, not Kains's HP.
[08:17] A
Th-Then, what fell apart was...
[08:20] K
Yes, just his armor.
[08:23] K
And at the exact moment it did, Kains
[08:28] K
teleported away.
[08:32] K
The effect was incredibly similar
to that of someone's death.
[08:36] K
But it's still different.
[08:40] A
Then Yoruko-san...
[08:41] K
The dagger was already in her the
whole time she spoke with us.
[08:46] A
The entire time?
[08:47] K
Remember...
[08:49] K
During her entire stay, she never
turned her back to us.
[08:54] K
And as she talked, she kept an eye
on her equipment's endurance.
[08:59] K
At the right moment,
[09:00] ---
she acted as though a dagger,
thrown from outside, had stabbed her.
[09:05] A
Which means the person
in the black robe...
[09:08] K
I'd lay good odds that it isn't Grimrock.
[09:10] K
It's Kains.
[09:12] K
Those two must have realized
[09:15] K
that they could use this method
[09:18] K
to fake their own deaths.
[09:22] A
And their goal was to draw out
[09:24] ---
the one responsible for the ring murder.
[09:28] A
They acted out their own deaths
[09:31] ---
to create an illusionary avenger.
[09:34] K
They must have already been
somewhat suspicious of Schmidt.
[09:38] K
Hey, you still have Yoruko-san
friended, don't you?
[09:46] A
She's in the field, on Floor 19.
[09:48] A
On a small hill, just outside the town.
[09:52] K
I see.
[09:54] K
Let's leave
[09:56] K
the rest up to them.
[09:58] K
Our role in this case is finished.
[10:08] Sch
R-Recorded?
[10:14] Sch
So that's how it is.
[10:17] Sch
You cared that much about Griselda.
[10:21] Grim
You didn't hate her, either, did you?
[10:25] Sch
O-Of course not...
Believe me!
[10:27] Sch
True...
[10:28] Sch
The rare weapon I bought let me clear
[10:31] Sch
the Holy Dragon Alliance's
entry requirements, but...
[10:45] Sch
Paralysis?
[10:48] SomeDude
One down!
[10:55] Sch
Are these guys...
[10:58] SomeOtherGuy
This is a big catch.
[11:02] SomeOtherGuy
A Holy Dragon Alliance leader.
[11:11] S
The guild of murderers,
Laughing Coffin.
[11:21] SomeOtherGuy
Now, then...
[11:21] SomeOtherGuy
what shall we play?
[11:24] SG
Let's do that one thing, boss...
[11:26] SG
The game where they kill each other,
and only the winner survives!
[11:30] SOG
Last time we did that,
you killed the survivor anyway.
[11:35] SG
If you say that now,
we can't have a game, boss.
[11:42] SOG
All right.
[11:44] ---
Let's get started.
[12:11] K
Guess I made it just in time...
[12:18] K
So what will you do?
[12:20] K
I have backup on the way.
[12:22] K
You want to fight thirty people
from the lead group?
[12:43] SOG
Let's go.
[12:59] K
I'm glad I was able to see
you again, Yoruko-san.
[13:03] Y
I planned to apologize,
once everything was over.
[13:08] Y
But I can't expect you to believe me.
[13:11] S
Kirito...
[13:13] S
Thank you for saving me,
[13:15] ---
but how did you know that those
three would attack here?
[13:19] K
I didn't.
[13:21] K
I just thought it was a possibility.
[13:24] K
Hey, Kains-san... Yoruko-san.
[13:26] K
You asked Grimrock-san to
make those two weapons.
[13:32] Y
At first, he didn't seem willing.
[13:36] Y
He said he wanted to let
Griselda-san rest in peace...
[13:39] Kains
But when we begged him,
[13:42] ---
he finally forged them for us.
[13:45] K
I'm sorry, but the reason
he opposed your plan
[13:48] ---
wasn't for Griselda-san's sake.
[13:51] K
He thought something flashy,
like a PK in a safe zone,
[13:54] ---
would attract sufficient attention
for someone to take notice...
[13:59] K
I only realized it thirty minutes ago.
[14:06] K
We ended up falling for
Yoruko-san's plot...
[14:09] K
But I don't really mind.
[14:12] A
Yeah.
[14:14] A
Hey.
[14:16] A
What would you have said
[14:18] ---
when a super-rare item like that dropped?
[14:22] K
Hmm...
[14:23] K
Part of the reason I play solo
is to avoid those situations.
[14:28] A
In our guild, it would belong
to the one it dropped for.
[14:32] A
That's the rule.
[14:34] A
In SAO, no one knows what drops for whom
[14:38] ---
unless someone volunteers it.
[14:39] A
So if you want to avoid players
hoarding, that's the only way.
[14:43] A
Also,
[14:45] A
because of that system,
[14:46] ---
marriage in this world has real meaning.
[14:50] A
If you marry, your item
storage is shared, right?
[14:54] A
Everything you might have
hidden until then...
[14:57] ---
Once you're married,
you can't hide it anymore.
[15:01] A
Shared storage is quite a
pragmatic system.
[15:05] ---
But I think it's very romantic, as well.
[15:11] K
Hey...
[15:12] A
What?
[15:14] K
Have you ever gotten married?
[15:20] K
No... That's not what I meant!
[15:22] ---
You were just talking about how
it's romantic and plastic...
[15:25] A
No one said that!
[15:28] A
It's romantic and pragmatic.
[15:30] A
Pragmatic...
[15:32] A
It means practical.
[15:34] A
Practical.
[15:35] K
Practical?
[15:36] K
Marriage in SAO?
[15:38] A
Isn't it?
[15:39] A
In a way, it throws everything
out there, doesn't it?
[15:41] ---
The common storage.
[15:44] A
What?
[15:45] K
Common storage...
[15:49] K
If your spouse dies,
what happens to the items?
[15:53] K
Item storage is shared.
[15:56] K
When one person dies,
what happens to their items?
[16:00] A
Are you talking about
Griselda-san and Grimrock-san?
[16:02] A
Let's see, if one of them died...
[16:05] K
Wouldn't everything go to the other?
[16:09] A
Which would mean the rare ring
in Griselda-san's storage...
[16:13] K
It should be in Grimrock's storage,
not in the killer's.
[16:18] A
The ring wasn't stolen?
[16:21] K
No, it was stolen.
[16:23] K
Grimrock stole the ring
from his own storage.
[16:33] Kains
Grimrock...
[16:35] Kains
He sent that memo?
[16:37] Kains
And he killed Griselda?
[16:40] K
No, he probably didn't do it personally.
[16:43] K
He likely left the actual murder to a
red player specializing in such things.
[16:49] Y
No...
[16:50] Y
If he were the murderer,
[16:52] Y
then why would he have helped us?
[16:56] K
Didn't you explain the whole plan to him?
[17:01] K
This was his chance to bury
the entire thing forever.
[17:07] K
He waited for you, Schmidt-san,
and Kains-san to gather,
[17:12] K
so he could kill you all at once.
[17:15] S
So that's why...
[17:17] S
That's why that murder guild was here.
[17:21] K
Most likely,
[17:22] K
he knew them from when he
hired them to kill Griselda-san.
[17:26] Y
That's horrible...
[17:30] A
I found him.
[17:36] K
We can ask him for the details.
[17:43] Grim
It's been a long time, everyone.
[17:47] Y
Grimrock-san...
[17:49] Y
Did you... Did you really...
[17:55] Y
Why, Grimrock?
[17:56] Y
Why did you need the money
[17:58] ---
from the ring so badly that you had
to kill Griselda, your own wife?
[18:05] Grim
Money?
[18:07] Grim
Did you say money?
[18:14] Grim
It wasn't for the money.
[18:16] Grim
I had...
[18:17] Grim
I had to kill her...
[18:21] Grim
While she was still my wife.
[18:24] Grim
She was my wife in
the real world, too.
[18:29] Grim
The ideal wife, the perfect wife...
[18:32] Grim
Pretty, submissive...
[18:35] Grim
We'd never had a single fight.
[18:38] Grim
But when we were both
trapped in this world,
[18:42] ---
she changed.
[18:45] ---
Only one of us was overcome with fear
from being trapped in a death game...
[18:49] ---
Me.
[18:51] ---
She looked so much happier,
[18:53] ---
so much more alive,
than she had in the real world.
[18:57] ---
I had to accept it...
[19:00] ---
That the Yuuko I loved was gone.
[19:05] ---
Thus...
[19:06] ---
Thus, I decided to forever seal
her within my memories here,
[19:11] ---
in this world, where murder is legal...
[19:15] ---
And who could blame me?
[19:18] K
You killed your wife for that?
[19:21] Grim
That's more than reason enough.
[19:24] Grim
Someday, you'll understand, detective.
[19:27] Grim
Once you've found love and
are about to lose it.
[19:32] A
No, you're the one who's
mistaken, Grimrock-san.
[19:37] A
You didn't feel love for Griselda-san.
[19:41] A
You only wanted to possess her!
[19:56] Kains
Kirito-san, could you leave this man to us?
[20:01] K
All right.
[20:21] A
Hey...
[20:23] ---
If you married someone,
and then you discovered
[20:27] ---
they had a side you didn't know,
[20:30] A
what would you think?
[20:34] K
Maybe that I was lucky...
[20:37] K
B-Because if you marry someone,
[20:39] ---
it means you already
[20:40] ---
like what you know about them, right?
[20:43] K
So if you found something new about them
and fell in love with that, too...
[20:48] K
W-Wouldn't that be great?
[20:51] A
Well, fine.
[20:53] A
More importantly, I'm hungry.
[20:55] A
I didn't get to finish my meal earlier.
[20:57] K
Y-Yeah...
[21:00] A
I've been away from the front
lines for two days...
[21:02] A
I'll have to go back to work tomorrow.
[21:04] K
Yeah, I want to clear this floor this week.
[21:10] A
What?
[21:44] A
Hey, Kirito-kun...
[21:46] A
Want to friend me?
[21:49] A
You haven't so far, right?
[21:51] A
Since we're both in the lead group,
[21:52] ---
it's inconvenient that we
can't talk to each other.
[21:54] K
But I'm a solo player...
[21:57] A
I didn't say you had to party up with me.
[21:59] A
Anyway, you should make some friends.
[22:02] K
D-Do I?
[22:03] K
It doesn't bother me, but...
[22:05] K
Think about it while we go eat.
[22:07] K
First, let's get back to town.
[22:10] ---
Y-Yeah...

It's okay, I guess...

Dealing with customers is

[03:08] L
Okay!
[03:13] L
Welcome to Lisbeth's Smith Shop!
[03:16] K
W-Well...
[03:18] K
I'd like to order a custom-made weapon.
[03:25] L
Does he have enough money?
[03:28] L
At the moment, metal prices are high.
[03:32] K
Don't worry about the cost.
[03:34] K
I just want the best sword
you can make right now.
[03:37] L
That's somewhat vague.
[03:39] L
Could you give me an idea of
the stats you're looking for?
[03:43] K
Oh, I see.
[03:45] K
Then, something as good as this or better?
[03:53] K
An Elucidator...
[03:55] K
It's one of the best magic swords
[03:57] ---
you can get from a monster drop.
[04:00] K
Can you do it?
[04:05] L
How about this one?
[04:06] L
It's the best
[04:08] L
that I've ever made.
[04:11] K
It's a little light...
[04:13] L
I used a speed-type metal to forge it.
[04:17] K
May I test it a little?
[04:19] L
Test it?
[04:20] K
Its durability.
[04:24] L
Wait!
[04:24] L
If you do that, your sword will break!
[04:27] L
If that happens, it'll just be...
[04:29] L
too bad!
[04:43] L
Irreparable...
[04:55] L
Why did you do that?!
[04:57] K
Sorry!
[04:58] K
I didn't think that yours would
be the one to break...
[05:01] L
You trying to tell me
[05:03] ---
that my sword was weaker
than you expected?
[05:07] K
Yeah, I guess.
[05:10] L
Just so we're clear, if I had the materials,
[05:13] ---
I could make a dozen swords
[05:16] ---
that would snap yours in half!
[05:20] K
I'd really love one.
[05:22] K
Something that could snap this in two.
[05:25] L
Then you'll have to help me
every step of the way!
[05:28] K
Every step of the way?
[05:29] L
Yeah, starting with obtaining the metal.
[05:32] K
I can get it myself.
[05:34] K
I'd rather not have you slowing me down.
[05:36] L
Don't you insult me.
[05:38] L
Believe it or not, I'm an expert mace user.
[05:41] K
Then where do we find the metal?
[05:44] L
On Floor 55, on the Western Mountain,
[05:46] L
there's supposedly a dragon
that eats crystals.
[05:49] L
According to rumor, it builds
up a rare metal in its body.
[05:53] K
Floor 55, huh?
[05:55] K
I should probably go—
[05:56] L
Furthermore, to get the metal,
[05:57] L
you need a master smith with you.
[06:00] L
Still want to go alone?
[06:10] K
Just keep quiet,
and stay out of the way.
[06:12] L
Hey!
[06:13] K
My name's Kirito.
[06:15] K
Until we make that sword,
I guess we'll be partying up.
[06:18] K
Okay, Kirito!

You just keep grating on me.
[06:57] L
It's warm.
[07:00] L
I can't believe I'm out here,
all alone with this guy.
[07:04] L
This is weird...
[07:06] K
What's wrong, Lisbeth?
[07:08] K
Giving up already?
[07:09] L
I'm just fine!
[07:11] L
And if you plan to be a jerk
anyway, just call me Liz.
[07:14] K
Right, right... Got it, Liz.
[07:16] L
Get over yourself!
[07:31] L
It's beautiful!
[07:36] L
What are you doing?!
[07:38] K
Get your teleport crystal ready.
[07:40] L
I know.
[07:42] K
And I'll do this part alone.
[07:45] K
Once the dragon appears,
[07:46] ---
hide in the shadow of
one of the crystals.
[07:49] K
Do not come out.
[07:50] L
What?
[07:52] L
I'm no newbie... I can help—
[07:54] K
No!
[08:02] K
All right.
[08:03] K
Let's get going.
[08:15] K
Get over there, and hide!
[08:31] L
Its breath attack! Dodge!
[08:41] L
Wow...
[08:43] L
All with that thin weapon?
[08:45] L
Who is he?
[08:56] L
Go on and finish him off!
[08:59] K
You idiot!
[08:59] K
Don't come out yet!
[09:03] L
What?
[09:04] L
It's over－
[09:10] K
Liz!
[09:18] K
No!
[09:18] K
No!
[09:22] K
Liz, hang on!
[09:40] K
You're alive...
[09:44] L
Yeah, I'm alive.
[09:49] K
Drink one of these, just in case.
[09:51] K
Okay.
[10:02] K
Um, thank you
[10:05] K
for saving me.
[10:06] K
It's a little early to be thanking me.
[10:09] K
How do we get out of here?
[10:12] L
We can just teleport.
[10:15] L
Teleport: Lindas!
[10:19] L
No way...
[10:20] K
If we can't use crystals, that means
[10:22] ---
there should be another way.
[10:24] L
We don't know that.
[10:26] L
This trap could be meant to kill
anyone who falls into it.
[10:30] K
Yeah, that's true.
[10:34] L
Come on...
[10:35] L
At least try to cheer me up!
[10:37] K
I have an idea.
[10:38] L
Really?
[10:40] K
Yeah, to run up the wall.
[10:46] L
Are you stupid?
[10:48] K
Let's find out.
[10:54] L
Unbelievable...
[11:07] K
If there were a little more
running space, it'd work.
[11:10] L
Like hell it would.
[11:18] L
What a strange feeling.
[11:20] L
This would never happen in real life.
[11:22] L
Sleeping next to someone I've never met,
[11:26] ---
in a place I've never been.
[11:28] L
And running up walls?
[11:31] L
You really a weirdo.
[11:33] K
Sorry.
[11:40] L
Hey, Kirito...
[11:42] L
Can I ask something?
[11:43] K
What is it now?
[11:45] L
Back then, why did you save me?
[11:50] K
I'd rather die with someone
[11:53] ---
than let them die alone.
[11:56] K
Especially if it's a little girl like you, Liz.
[12:00] L
You really are stupid.
[12:02] L
No one else would think that way.
[12:09] L
Hey...
[12:11] L
Hold my hand?
[12:19] K
Okay.
[12:29] L
It's warm.
[12:33] L
You and I are both data in
a virtual world, but...
[12:37] K
Liz...
[12:55] L
Huh?
[13:05] L
What are you doing?
[13:07] K
Look at this.
SIGN Crystallite Ingot
[13:12] L
Could this be...
[13:14] K
Yeah, the metal we came to find.
[13:17] K
The dragon eats the crystals,
creating this in its stomach.
[13:23] K
That's why no one received any.
[13:25] L
You did it.
[13:27] L
But what's it doing here?
[13:29] K
This hole isn't a trap.
[13:31] ---
It's the dragon's nest.
[13:34] K
In other words, that ingot is
the dragon's excrement.
[13:38] K
Its poop.
[13:44] K
Regardless, we've achieved our goal.
[13:47] K
All that's left is...
[13:51] L
You said this is the dragon's nest, right?
[13:54] K
Yeah.
[13:55] L
And the dragon is nocturnal,
[13:56] ---
which means it won't be long until...
[14:04] L
It's here!
[14:09] L
H-Hey!
[14:10] L
What?!
[14:21] L
Liz, hang on!
[14:32] L
We're outside!
[14:48] L
Amazing!
[14:59] L
Kirito!
[15:02] L
You know something?
[15:03] ---
What?
[15:05] K
I...
[15:07] L
I like you!
[15:10] K
What?
[15:11] K
I can't hear you!
[15:14] L
It's nothing!

[15:27] L
A one-handed long sword, right?
[15:29] K
Yeah, thanks.
[15:44] K
The warmth of Kirito's hands...
[15:46] K
The way I feel.
[15:48] K
I wasn't imagining it.
[15:50] K
When I finish a sword I
can be satisfied with,
[15:53] ---
I'll tell him how I feel.
[16:14] K
Its name is Dark Repulsor.
[16:16] K
If I've never heard of it,
[16:18] K
then it isn't in the information
brokers' directory.
[16:21] K
Try it out.
[16:22] K
Yeah.
[16:30] L
H-How does it feel?
[16:32] K
Heavy...
[16:33] K
It's a good sword.
[16:34] L
All right!
[16:36] K
It feels like a soul is forged into it.
[16:45] K
Now, then...
[16:46] K
The job's complete.
[16:48] K
I'll pay you for the sword.
[16:50] K
How much?
[16:51] L
Um, well...
[16:54] L
I don't need any money.
[16:58] L
In exchange...
[17:00] L
I want to be your exclusive smith.
[17:05] K
What would that mean?
[17:10] K
Liz?
[17:14] L
When you return from the field,
[17:15] ---
stop by and let me maintain your gear.
[17:18] L
Every day, from now on!
[17:24] K
Liz?
[17:25] L
Kirito, I...
[17:28] L
I...
[17:30] A
Liz! I was really worried!
[17:33] L
Asuna?
[17:34] A
Liz!
[17:35] A
I couldn't send messages to you,
or track you on the map...
[17:39] ---
Where were you last night?
[17:40] L
Sorry, I got stuck in a dungeon.
[17:44] A
A dungeon?
[17:45] A
Did you go alone?
[17:47] L
No, with him.
[17:50] A
K-Kirito-kun?
[17:52] K
Oh, A-Asuna...
[17:54] K
It's been a while.
[17:55] K
Or maybe it hasn't.
[17:57] K
Two days?
[17:58] A
You surprised me.
[17:59] A
I see, you already dropped by.
[18:01] A
If you told me,
I would've gone with you.
[18:04] L
Do you know each other?
[18:06] K
Yeah, we're both part
of the lead group.
[18:11] A
He wanted a powerful sword,
[18:13] ---
so I referred him to your shop.
[18:15] L
So that's why.
[18:17] A
You didn't do anything weird
to my friend, did you?
[18:20] K
O-Of course I didn't!
[18:22] A
The way you stuttered is suspicious...
[18:24] L
I almost died back there.
[18:26] L
You could show a little compassion!
[18:28] A
That's why I've told you so
often not to fight solo.
[18:32] L
I see.
[18:34] L
So that's it...
[18:37] A
Did he say anything rude to you?
[18:42] A
Liz?
[18:46] L
Rude?
[18:48] ---
He snapped my best sword in half!
[18:52] A
I-I'm sorry...
[18:53] L
It's nothing you need to apologize for.
[18:57] L
He's weird, but he's not a bad guy.
[19:01] L
I'll be cheering for you.
So do your best, Asuna.
[19:04] A
It's not like that!
[19:07] A
Liz?
[19:08] L
Sorry, but I have to go pick
up some supplies.
[19:10] L
I'll be right back.
[19:12] A
What about the store?
[19:14] L
You two keep an eye on it!
[19:17] A
Wait, Liz!
[19:37] K
Lisbeth...
[19:45] L
You can't be here right now.
[19:50] L
Just a little longer.
[19:52] ---
And I would've gone back to
my usual cheerful self...
[19:55] K
Liz...
[19:57] L
How'd you know I was here?
[20:04] K
I went up there, so I could scan
the whole town for you.
[20:08] L
You always do the craziest things.
[20:16] L
Sorry... I'm fine.
[20:20] L
I think I'm not used to adventures,
and it just shook me up...
[20:24] L
So, please...
[20:26] ---
Forget everything I said.
[20:32] K
I wanted to thank you.
[20:37] K
I've always...
[20:38] ---
I've honestly always thought
it would be better to die
[20:44] ---
than to survive alone.
[20:47] L
Kirito?
[20:49] K
But when we fell in that hole,
[20:51] ---
I was glad we both made it.
[20:54] K
I was able to think that everyone
and I are living as best we can.
[21:00] K
So thank you, Liz.
[21:04] L
Same here...
[21:06] L
I, too, was always looking for something,
[21:09] L
something real in this world.
[21:13] L
For me,
[21:15] L
it was the warmth of your hand.
[21:23] L
Tell Asuna what you just told me.
[21:27] K
Liz...
[21:28] L
I'm fine!
[21:30] L
Only, this warmth will linger for a while.
[21:35] L
Therefore, please...
[21:38] L
End this world.
[21:42] L
Until then, I'll keep working.
[21:46] K
I promise.
[21:48] K
I'll win the game.
[21:54] L
If you need your equipment repaired,
[21:56] ---
come by anytime.
[21:57] K
Sure.
[21:59] L
You'll always be welcome
at Lisbeth's Smith Shop!

[03:44] E
This is an S-class rare item.
[03:47] E
I've never seen one before.
[03:51] E
Hey, Kirito.
[03:52] E
Don't you already have all
the money you need?
[03:55] E
Wouldn't you rather eat this
yourself than sell it?
[03:59] K
I'd love to eat it.
[04:00] K
I'll probably never get one again.
[04:03] E
Then...
[04:04] K
But who has a high enough cooking skill
[04:08] K
to prepare this?
[04:10] E
If we tried, we'd just burn it...
[04:16] A
Kirito-kun...
[04:23] K
I've found my chef.
[04:24] A
Wh-What?
[04:29] K
It's rare to see you in a
dive like this, Asuna.
[04:33] A
It's almost time for the next boss.
[04:36] A
I just came to see if you were alive.
[04:39] K
I'm on your friend list.
You can tell from that.
[04:43] A
If you're still alive, that's good enough.
[04:45] A
Anyway, so what was
that about a chef?
[04:48] K
Oh, yeah.
[04:50] K
What's your current cooking skill?
[04:54] A
I maxed it last week.
[04:56] ---
What?!
[04:57] A
Amazing, right?
[04:59] K
If you're that good, I have
something to ask you.
[05:07] A
Th-This is a ragout rabbit!
[05:10] K
We'll trade.
[05:11] K
If you cook it for me,
I'll let you have a bite.
[05:17] A
Half.
[05:21] K
O-Okay...
[05:23] A
All right!
[05:28] K
Sorry...
[05:29] K
I won't be selling it, after all.
[05:31] E
We're buddies, right?
[05:33] E
Just give me a taste...
[05:35] K
I'll write you a two-page
report on its taste.
[05:40] E
Oh, come on!
[05:44] A
Then where would you
like me to cook it?
[05:46] ---
Well...
[05:48] A
You probably don't have
any cookware at your place.
[05:53] A
Just this once,
[05:54] A
and only because the ingredient is
so good, we can use my place.
[06:01] A
That will be all for today.
[06:03] A
Goodbye.
[06:04] Guy
Asuna-sama, you can't let such a
suspicious person into your home.
[06:11] A
He may be suspicious,
but he's also quite skilled.
[06:15] A
He's probably ten levels
above you, Kuradeel.
[06:18] C
You're suggesting he's superior to me?
[06:22] C
I see...
[06:23] C
He's one of those beaters.
[06:26] K
Yes, that's right.
[06:28] C
Asuna-sama, all they care
about is themselves!

Nothing good will come of
being around him.

That's Lightning Flash Asuna!

I'm sure!

[07:11] K
I don't have nearly enough money.
[07:15] K
Anyway,
[07:17] K
are you really sure about
that guy back there?
[07:20] A
I told them I don't require an escort,
[07:23] A
but they said it's the policy for leaders.
[07:27] A
The commander used to
personally invite everyone.
[07:31] A
We were just a small guild.
[07:33] A
But we began getting
more and more people.
[07:36] A
After people started saying we
were the strongest guild,
[07:39] A
everything got weird.
[07:44] A
Well, it's not a big deal,
so don't worry about it!
[07:48] A
We should hurry, or it'll get dark.
[07:51] ---
R-Right...
[07:56] K
E-Excuse me...
[08:02] K
How much did all this cost?
[08:06] A
The room and furniture were
probably around 4,000,000 Cor...
[08:10] A
I'll go change, so have a seat.
[08:12] K
O-Okay...
[08:19] K
4,000,000 Cor.
[08:21] K
4 mega-Cor.
[08:23] K
I'm sure I've saved up that much, but...
[08:34] A
How long do you plan to
stay dressed like that?
[08:37] A
O-Oh, right...
[08:44] A
So, this is a legendary
S-class ingredient?
[08:47] A
How do you want it cooked?
[08:49] K
Chef's choice.
[08:52] A
Let's see...
[08:54] A
Then let's make a stew.
[08:56] A
It's a ragout rabbit.
[08:57] A
And a ragout is a type of stew.
[09:11] A
Normally, you'd need to do a lot more.
[09:17] A
Cooking in SAO is oversimplified. It's boring.
[09:24] A
That takes care of the stew!
[09:27] A
I'll make some side dishes.
[09:56] A
I've been here two years,
[09:58] A
and this is the first S-class
ingredient I've had.
[10:01] A
I'm glad I've survived this long.
[10:04] K
Yeah...
[10:07] A
It's strange...
[10:08] A
It kind of feels
[10:10] A
like I was born and raised
here for my entire life.
[10:14] A
It's just a feeling.
[10:16] K
Lately, there are days I can't
even remember the other world.
[10:22] K
And it isn't just me.
[10:24] K
Recently, fewer and fewer people
[10:27] K
have been giving their
all to clear the game.
[10:29] A
Fewer than five hundred players
[10:33] A
are fighting on the front lines.
[10:36] A
Everyone has grown accustomed to this world.
[10:42] A
But I want to go back.
[10:46] A
There are lots of things I never
had the chance to do there.
[10:50] K
Yeah.
[10:52] K
Unless we do our best, it isn't fair
to the merchants and others
[10:57] K
who are supporting us.
[11:04] A
Stop it.
[11:06] K
What?
[11:07] A
Lots of people with that same
expression have proposed to me.
[11:15] A
From the look of things, you aren't
close to any other girls.
[11:20] K
It's fine. I'm a solo player.
[11:29] A
You don't want to join a guild, Kirito-kun?
[11:33] A
I know the beta players
don't fit in with groups.
[11:36] A
But...
[11:38] A
Ever since we hit floor 70,
[11:40] A
the monster algorithms seem to
be more and more irregular.
[11:48] A
There are things a solo
player can't handle.
[11:52] A
And you can't always warp out.
[11:55] K
I keep a solid safety margin.
[11:59] K
And most party members
[12:01] K
are more likely to hinder me,
rather than to be any help.
[12:05] ---
Oh?
[12:09] K
I get it.
[12:10] K
You're the exception.
[12:12] A
Right.
[12:14] A
Then, party up with me. It's been forever.
[12:18] A
Also, black is my lucky color this week.
[12:20] K
What?
[12:21] K
But what about your guild?!
[12:25] A
We don't have any leveling quotas.
[12:27] K
Th-Then what about your escort?
[12:29] A
I'll ditch him.
SIGN Asuna invites you to join her party.
[12:54] K
The front lines are dangerous.
[13:02] K
F-Fine.
[13:10] A
I suppose I should thank you for today.
[13:14] A
Thanks for the meal!
[13:15] K
You, too.
[13:16] K
I'll ask you for help again.
[13:18] K
Or I would,
[13:19] K
but I doubt I'll ever find an
ingredient like that again.
[13:22] A
If you're skilled, you can make good
stuff with normal ingredients.
[13:31] K
The way the world is now...
[13:33] K
Is this really what Kayaba
Akihiko wanted to make?

[14:57] C
I thought this might happen,

part of my mission has been
to observe you in Selmburg.
[15:04] A
Th-That wasn't in the guild
leader's orders, was it?
[15:08] C
My mission is to guard you.
[15:11] C
That includes at your home.
[15:13] A
No, it doesn't, idiot!
[15:16] C
You should stop acting like such a brat.
[15:20] C
Now, let's return to headquarters.
[15:28] K
Sorry.
[15:29] K
I'll be borrowing your
vice commander today.
[15:35] K
I'll take responsibility for her security.
[15:37] K
We aren't facing a boss today.
[15:41] K
You can go to headquarters alone.
[15:43] C
Hell, no!
[15:44] C
A low-level player like you
couldn't possibly protect her!
[15:49] C
I am a member of the glorious
Knights of the Blood Oath...
[15:52] K
I can do a better job than you.

[18:53] K
But are you okay?
[18:55] A
Yes.
[18:57] A
I think my problems with the guild are
[18:59] A
because I was too focused
on clearing the game.

And I was too strict with
the other members.

That...

Well, I don't know.

If you hadn't been, we'd never have
come nearly as far as we have.

I just mess around as a solo player,
so I have no right to judge.
[19:22] K
Still,
[19:23] K
even if you decide to take a day off
to party with a slacker like me,
[19:29] K
I don't think that gives anyone
the right to complain.
[19:36] A
Well, I guess I'll say thanks.

What are you talking about?
[02:57] A
It makes no sense.
[02:59] A
The biggest advantage of
a one-handed sword
[03:02] ---
is that you can use a shield.
[03:03] A
But I've never seen you with one.
[03:07] A
I don't use them because
they slow my rapier.
[03:11] A
And others don't because they
dislike how they look.

commissioned from Liz, either.

This is good!

But how did you get this taste?
[04:02] A
A year of training and study.
[04:06] A
Aincrad has around one
hundred seasonings.
[04:07] A
To make it,
[04:09] ---
I calculated all the parameters the
flavor-recreation engine uses.
[04:14] A
This uses grogua seed, shugra leaf,
[04:17] A
and calim water.
[04:20] K
It's mayonnaise...
[04:21] A
This uses abilba seed,
sag leaves, and ulafish bone.
[04:28] K
I-I know this taste...
[04:31] K
It's soy sauce!
[04:36] A

What are they doing up here?
[07:01] A

[07:21] C
I am Lieutenant Colonel Corvatz
of the Aincrad Liberation Army.
[07:26] K

Have you cleared the area up ahead?
[07:31] K
Yes.
[07:32] K
We have a map up to the boss room.
[07:36] C
Then I'd like you to give us that map data.
[07:41] Kl
For free?
[07:43] Kl
Do know how much of a
pain in the ass mapping is?
[07:47] C
We share information and resources equally

[07:53] C
And we maintain order in battle

Thus, you have a duty to help us!
[08:06] A
Listen...
[08:07] Kl

I don't mind.
[08:14] ---
Come on...
[08:15] Kl
That's being way too nice, Kirito.
[08:18] Kl
I won't make money off map data.
[08:25] C
Thank you for your cooperation.
[08:29] K
If you plan to pick a fight with the
boss, I'd recommend against it.
[08:33] C
That is my decision to make.

Are they gonna be okay?

I don't think they'd be foolish
enough to rush the boss.

Still, let's at least go and
keep an eye on them.

I don't know who's being nicer.
[09:26] Kl

D-Didn't I request something
that wasn't so flashy?
[05:41] A
It's one of the far less flashy ones.
[05:43] A
It looks great on you.
[05:49] K
A guild, huh?
[05:51] A
I didn't mean to drag you into this.
[05:54] K
No, it's a good chance.
[05:57] K
I was reaching the limits of
what a solo player can do.
[06:00] A
That does makes me feel better, but...
[06:03] A
Hey, Kirito-kun...
[06:06] A
I want you to tell me why you avoid guilds...
[06:10] ---
And other people.
[06:14] A
It isn't just because
[06:15] ---
you're a beta tester or have
a unique skill, right?
[06:19] A
You're a nice person.
[06:26] K
It was a long time ago.
[06:28] K
Over a year ago...
[06:31] K
I did join a guild, just the one time.
[06:35] K
The guild was tiny, only five other members.
[06:39] K
Its name was the Moonlit Black Cats.
[06:42] K
To be honest,
[06:43] K
their levels were far lower than mine.
[06:46] K
So I think if I'd told them
[06:48] ---
my true level, they would
have reconsidered.
[06:51] K
But I hid it, and I joined their guild.
[06:56] K
The way they all seemed so comfortable
together was something I coveted.
[07:02] K
But one day...
[07:14] K
I was the one who got them all killed.
[07:17] K
Had I not hidden the fact
that I was a beater,
[07:20] K
I could have warned them how
dangerous that trap was.
[07:24] K
All of them... Sachi...
[07:27] K
I killed them.
[07:47] A
I'm not going to die.
[07:50] A
Because I'm the one
[07:53] ---
who will protect you.

Because of a kid like you,

I just killed an innocent bystander.
[13:00] K
For all that, you looked happy enough...
[13:04] K
Why would someone like you join

[13:07] K
You'd be better off with a criminal guild.

What an interesting thing to say.
[13:13] Kr
You have sharp eyes.

That's the guild of murderers,

We played yesterday and the

Should I get down?
[06:39] K
Hang on tight!
[06:50] K
Yesterday, I heard a rumor in the village.
[06:54] K
Here, deep in the forest,
you can see things.
[06:59] A
See what?
[07:01] K
Ghosts.
[07:02] A
D-Does that mean
[07:04] A
astral-type monsters?
[07:07] K
Nope.
[07:09] K
Real ghosts.
[07:12] K
They say the hatred of the monsters
that were hunted here
[07:15] K
takes form and wanders the field nightly.
[07:23] K
And we're nearly there...
[07:25] A
To the place the rumors mention?
[07:29] K
About a week ago,
[07:31] K
a woodcrafter came to find wood.
[07:35] K
As he focused on gathering it, night fell.
[07:38] K
And he caught a glimpse of something white,
[07:41] ---
beneath a nearby tree.
[07:51] K
Was it a monster or something else?
[07:54] K
The white shadow walked slowly
into a nearby grove of trees...
[07:58] A
H-H-H-Hey!
[08:05] A
L-L-Let me down!
[08:08] K
What's wrong?
[08:18] A
K-Kirito-kun, over there.
[08:20] K
What is it?
[08:27] A
You've gotta be kidding...
[08:41] K
That's...
[08:43] K
That's no ghost!
[08:45] A
W-Wait, Kirito-kun!
[08:48] A
Jeez...
[08:55] A
A-A player?
[08:59] K
This is pretty strange.
[09:01] A
Strange?
[09:03] K
There's no cursor.
[09:08] A
Some kind of bug?
[09:10] K
Probably.
[09:12] A
Why is a little kid like this playing SAO?
[09:19] A
We can't leave her out here.
[09:22] A
Once she wakes up, we'll figure this out.
[09:24] A
Let's take her back.
[09:26] K
Yeah.
[09:34] K
One thing's for sure.
[09:36] ---
Since we were able to move her here,
[09:39] K
she can't be an NPC.
[09:41] A
That's true...
[09:43] A
An NPC would have given
a harassment warning
[09:46] ---
when you picked her up.
[09:49] K
And she isn't a quest giver, either.
[09:53] K
If she were, our quest log
would have updated.
[09:58] K
Which means she's a player.
[10:01] K
At least, a player is the
most likely scenario.
[10:06] A
But what was she doing out there?
[10:10] K
I don't know what's going on,
[10:12] ---
but maybe she has a parent or guardian?
[10:15] A
Yeah, she must've logged
in with her family, right?
[10:19] A
I hope they're safe.
[10:22] A
Hey, she'll wake up, right?
[10:26] K
Yeah, if her body hasn't disappeared,
[10:29] ---
then signals are being transmitted
to and from her NerveGear.
[10:32] K
I think it's a state similar to sleep.
[10:35] K
So I'm sure she'll wake up eventually.
[10:41] A
Yeah.
[10:48] A
Hey, Kirito-kun?
[10:55] A
Honestly.
[11:08] A
If...
[11:09] A
If she entered SAO all alone...
[11:14] A
If she's been alone in
this world this long...
[11:25] A
Goodnight.
[11:26] A
I hope you wake up tomorrow.

[14:52] Y
You heard her?
[15:04] A
What do you think, Kirito-kun?
[15:08] K
She doesn't seem to have any memories.
[15:11] K
But more importantly,
from the look of things...
[15:14] A
It's like she's regressed into a baby.
[15:17] A
I...
[15:18] A
I...
[15:21] A
I'm sorry.
[15:22] A
I don't know what to do...
[15:25] K
You want to take care of her
[15:28] ---
until she regains her memory, right?
[15:31] A
Yeah, but...
[15:34] K
It's a tough problem...
[15:35] K
If we don't get back to the front lines,
[15:38] ---
it'll take that much longer
for Yui to get out.
[15:41] A
Yeah.
[15:43] K
Let's do what we can for now.
[15:46] K
Judging by her gear,
[15:48] ---
I can't imagine she's been
farming monsters every day.
[15:52] K
Let's check the Town of Beginnings
[15:54] ---
for any parents or siblings she might have.
[15:57] A
Right.
[15:59] K
I don't want to say goodbye to her, either.
[16:03] A
Kirito-kun?
[16:05] K
I don't know how to express it.
[16:07] K
It hasn't been long.
[16:09] K
But having her here has made
this feel like a real home.
[16:14] K
It just feels that way.
[16:16] A
Yeah.
[16:18] K
But it's not like we'll never see her again.
[16:21] K
And if she has a family or guardian,
[16:24] ---
they're probably worried right now.
[16:26] A
Yeah.
[16:27] ---
When she wakes up, we'll go
to the Town of Beginnings.
[16:31] K
Get ready to equip your
stuff if you need to...
[16:34] K
That place is Army territory.
[16:37] A
We should be careful.
[16:40] Y
Mommy...
[16:41] Y
Daddy.
SIGN October 31, 2024 Floor 1: Town of Beginnings
[16:50] K
I haven't been here in ages.
[16:52] A
Me, neither.
[17:01] A
Yui-chan, do you remember
any of these buildings?
[17:07] Y
I don't know.
[17:09] K
Well, the Town of Beginnings is really big.
[17:13] K
Let's start at the central market.
[17:18] A
Hey, Kirito-kun...
[17:21] A
How many players are here currently?
[17:25] K
Hmm, I wonder.
[17:28] K
About 6,000 players are still alive in SAO.
[17:31] K
Including the Army, around thirty percent
are in the Town of Beginnings...
[17:36] K
Maybe a little fewer than two thousand?
[17:38] A
Then isn't the place a little empty?
[17:41] K
You're right.
[17:45] Woman
Give back the children!
[17:47] Soldiers
Hey, it's the day-care woman...
[17:50] Soldiers
We've been waiting for you!
[17:52] Woman
Return the children!
[17:55] Soldiers
You make it sound like
we're doing something bad.
[17:58] Soldiers
We're just teaching them how
things work around here...
[18:03] Soldiers
This is an important part
of the Army's mission.
[18:06] Soldiers
That's right.
[18:07] Soldiers
The citizenry has a duty to pay taxes.
[18:13] Soldiers
Gin! Kain! Mina!
[18:14] Soldiers
Are you over there?
[18:18] Kids
Sasha-sensei!
[18:19] Kids
Sensei, save us!
[18:21] Woman
Forget the money.
[18:23] Woman
Give it all to them!
[18:25] Kids
Sensei, that's not good enough.
[18:29] Soldier
You guys owe a lot of back taxes.
[18:33] Soldier
So you need to leave your equipment,
[18:35] Soldier
along with your armor.
[18:37] Soldier
Everything.
[18:41] Woman
Get...
[18:42] Woman
Get out of the way!
[18:44] Woman
Or...
[18:55] A
It's okay now.
[18:56] A
Put your equipment back on.
[19:01] Soldier
What?
[19:02] Soldier
Who the heck are you guys?
[19:05] Soldier
Are you going to interfere
with the Army's mission?!
[19:09] Soldier
Well, wait a second.
[19:11] Soldier
I don't know you.
[19:14] Soldier
You do know what it means to defy
the Liberation Army, right?!
[19:21] A
Kirito-kun, take care of Yui-chan.
[19:24] ---
Right.
[19:48] A
Don't worry.
[19:50] A
In a safe zone, your HP won't
decrease, no matter what.
[19:54] A
That's right.
[19:55] A
There's just a mild knock-back effect.
[19:58] A
But even still,
[19:59] A
safe zone fights are terrifying experiences.
[20:04] Soldier
Don't—
[20:09] Soldier
D-Don't just stand there.
Do something!
[20:38] Kids
Wow.
[20:40] Kids
That was amazing, miss!
[20:42] Kids
I've never seen that before.
[20:44] Kids
Yeah, you were so cool!
[20:47] Woman
Thank you.
[20:49] Kids
Thanks! You were great!
[20:52] Kids
I want to do it, too.
[20:53] K
See? Mom's really strong, isn't she?
[21:01] Y
Everyone...
[21:04] ---
Everyone's hearts...
[21:07] K
Yui?
[21:08] A
Yui-chan?
[21:10] K
Yui, what's wrong?
[21:10] Y
Everyone's hearts...
[21:13] K
Yui?
[21:14] A
Yui-chan, did you remember something?
[21:17] Y
I... I...
[21:21] Y
I wasn't here...
[21:25] Y
I was always alone, in the dark...
[21:41] K
Yui!
[21:41] A
Yui-chan!
[21:45] Y
Mommy...
[21:46] Y
I'm scared, Mommy...
[21:50] K
What was that, just now?
[21:59] A
Yui-chan.

SIGN November 1, 2024 Floor 1: Town of Beginnings
[00:14] K
This is...
[00:15] K
...amazing.
[00:16] A
Yeah.
[00:18] Nun
It's like this every day.
[00:21] Nun
Is Yui-chan okay?
[00:24] K
She got a good night's sleep,
and you can see it's helped.
[00:29] Nun
Has this ever happened before?
[00:31] A
We don't know.
[00:33] A
When we found her, she was wandering
in the forest on the 22nd floor.
[00:37] A
It seems that she's lost her memories.
[00:40] N
Oh, my.
[00:41] A
So we came to the Town of Beginnings.
[00:46] A
We thought someone here
might know about her.
[00:50] K
Any ideas?
[00:53] N
I'm sorry, but I don't think
[00:55] ---
she's one of the kids from
the Town of Beginnings.
[00:59] N
When the game started,
[01:00] N
most of the children suffered
terrible psychological trauma.
[01:04] N
I wanted to do something,
[01:07] ---
so I took them in at this church.
[01:10] N
Every day, I walk around the town
to see if anyone needs my help.
[01:14] N
But I've never seen anyone like her.
[01:18] A
Oh...
[01:23] Y
Hello.
[01:24] Y
I am Yulier.
[01:27] A
Aren't you with the Army?
[01:29] A
Are you here to complain about yesterday?
[01:31] Y
Not at all.
[01:33] Y
It's the reverse.
[01:34] Y
Honestly, I wanted to thank you.
[01:38] Y
I've come with a request for you two today.
[01:42] A
A request?
SIGN Yui's Heart
[03:19] Y
We...
[03:21] Y
No, the guild leader, Thinker,
[03:24] ---
never wanted it to be a dictatorial
organization like it's become.
[03:29] Y
We wanted to share information and food
[03:31] ---
evenly among as many players as possible.
[03:35] K
But the Army grew too large.
[03:38] K
Yes, there were multiple internal power
struggles, and a man named Kibaou
[03:41] K
ended up with a great deal of power.
[03:44] K
Kibaou and his faction have grown strong,
[03:47] ---
monopolizing all the best
monster spawn points,
[03:49] K
and have even started
extorting people for taxes.
[03:55] K
But many people were upset with his
lack of interest in clearing the game.
[04:00] K
So he sent the highest level players
[04:05] ---
available to the front lines.
[04:08] A
Corvatz-san...
[04:12] Y
After that massacre, he's taken a lot of heat
[04:15] Y
and we're close to dismissing
him from the guild.
[04:20] Y
But he is scared and desperate,
so he set a trap for Thinker.
[04:26] Y
Thinker's been stranded, deep in a dungeon!
[04:31] K
Does he have a teleport crystal?
[04:33] A
Unarmed?
[04:36] Y
He was too trusting.
[04:38] Y
He believed Kibaou when he said
he only wanted to talk unarmed.
[04:42] Y
That was three days ago.
[04:44] A
Three days?
[04:45] A
What's happened to him?
[04:46] Y
It's a very high-level dungeon.
[04:50] Y
He's trapped there.
[04:52] Y
As his second-in-command, this is my responsibility.
[04:56] Y
But my level isn't high enough to reach him.
[05:00] Y
And Kibaou is using his influence
[05:02] ---
to prevent the rest of the Army from helping.
[05:05] Y
And then I heard
[05:06] Y
that two incredibly high-powered
players had come here.
[05:10] Y
And so, I'm asking for your help.
[05:13] Y
Kirito-san, Asuna-san...
[05:15] Y
Would you please come and
save Thinker with me?
[05:22] A
I'd like to help, if we're able.
[05:27] A
But we have to verify that
you're telling the truth.
[05:30] Y
I understand that I'm asking a lot!
[05:33] Y
But when I think about him trapped in there,
[05:37] Y
I feel like I'm losing my mind...
[05:43] Yu
It's okay, Mommy.
[05:46] Yu
She's telling the truth.
[05:48] A
Y-Yui-chan, you can tell?
[05:51] Yu
Yeah.
[05:53] Yu
I can't explain why...
[05:56] Yu
But I know.
[06:03] K
I'd rather trust and regret
than doubt and regret.
[06:08] K
Let's go.
[06:09] K
It'll work out.
[06:10] K
Right?
[06:14] A
You're always so laid-back.
[06:17] A
We'll do what we can.
[06:22] Y
Thank you.
[06:24] A
I know how it feels to want to
save someone you care for.
[06:30] K
Stay here.
[06:31] Yu
No, I'm coming, too.
[06:33] Nun
Yui-chan, stay here with me, okay?
[06:36] Yu
No!
[06:38] K
So she's in a rebellious stage, huh?
[06:40] A
Don't be silly!
[06:42] A
Yui-chan, the place we're going is dangerous.
[06:46] Yu
I'm going, too!
SIGN Floor 1: Town of Beginnings Black Iron Castle
[06:52] A
I had no idea a dungeon like this was
beneath the Town of Beginnings.
[06:55] K
This wasn't here during the beta test.
[06:58] K
This is unexpected.
[07:00] Y
It probably opens further,
as the floors above are cleared.
[07:04] Y
Kibaou planned to keep it for himself.
[07:08] K
Exclusive access to spawns
can be quite profitable...
[07:10] Y
But the monsters that spawn here
have levels around the 60s.
[07:15] Y
So he wasn't able to do much hunting.
[07:20] Y
This is the entrance.
[07:24] Yu
I'm not scared!
[07:27] A
It's okay.
[07:28] A
She's much tougher than she looks.
[07:30] K
Yeah.
[07:31] K
I'm sure she'll be a fine swordsman someday!
[07:37] Y
Let's go, then.
[08:00] Y
I'm sorry for not helping.
[08:03] A
No, this is his kind of thing.
[08:05] A
Just let him be.
[08:09] A
We're pretty far down.
[08:10] A
Are we almost there?
[08:13] Y
Thinker hasn't moved from here.
[08:16] Y
I think he's in a safe spot.
[08:20] Y
If we can reach it, we can
use a teleport crystal.
[08:24] K
Good fight...
[08:25] Y
Sorry about that.
[08:27] K
No, I enjoyed it.
[08:29] K
And they dropped stuff.
[08:31] A
Anything good?
[08:37] ---
Wh-What is this?
[08:38] K
Scavenged toad meat.
[08:40] A
Those frogs?
[08:41] K
They say the stranger it is,
the better it tastes.
[08:43] K
Cook it up later.
[08:45] A
No way!
[08:50] K
Wh-What are you doing?
[08:52] K
Damn it!
[08:53] K
Fine, then...
[08:55] K
How about these?
[08:57] K
No! No, no, no, no!
[08:59] K
Asuna, it's good meat!
[09:01] K
Get rid of it!
[09:02] K
But it's delicious!
[09:04] Yu
You smiled.
[09:08] Yu
It's the first time you've smiled!
[09:20] A
Let's go.
[09:35] A
There's the safe zone.
[09:38] K
One player is inside.
[09:41] Y
Thinker!
[09:43] K
W-Wait...
[09:50] S
Yulier!
[09:53] Y
Thinker!
[09:56] S
Stay back!
[09:57] S
That corridor is...
[10:02] A
Stop!
[10:03] A
Yulier-san, come back!
[10:19] A
Yulier-san,
[10:20] A
retreat to the safe area with her.
[10:23] Y
Right.
[10:25] Yu
Mommy...
[10:26] Y
Let's go.
[10:47] K
Asuna,
[10:48] K
use a teleport crystal to get Yui
and the others out of here.
[10:53] K
Even my identification skill isn't helping.
[10:56] K
It's probably as strong as
something from the 90th floor.
[10:58] K
I'll buy time.
[10:59] K
So run!
[11:01] A
Y-You come with me.
[11:02] K
I'll catch up. Hurry!
[11:06] Yu
Mommy...
[11:10] A
Take care of Yui!
[11:11] A
You three should run!
[11:13] K
Asuna!
[11:14] Y
I can't...
[11:15] A
Hurry!
[11:51] A
Kirito-kun!
[11:53] Y
Yui-chan, no!
[11:54] S
It's dangerous...
[11:54] S
Come back!
[12:06] K
Don't be stupid!
[12:07] K
Get out of there!
[12:08] A
Yui-chan...
[12:12] Yu
It's okay... Daddy, Mommy.
[12:17] A
Yui-chan!
[12:25] A

[13:33] A
Yui-chan?
[13:35] K
Yui...
[13:37] Yu
Daddy... Mommy.
[13:40] Yu
I remember everything.
[13:48] A
Yui-chan,
[13:49] A
you regained your memories?
[13:53] Yu
Yes.
[13:56] Yu
Kirito-san.
[13:57] Yu
Asuna-san.
[13:59] Yu
This world, Sword Art Online,
[14:02] ---
is controlled by a single, immense system.
[14:06] Yu
The system is called Cardinal.
[14:09] Yu
This system was designed to operate
without any human intervention.
[14:14] ---
It regulates the balance of SAO,
according to its own discretion.
[14:20] Yu
From monster and NPC AI,
[14:23] Yu
to drop rates for items and money.
[14:25] Yu
Everything is controlled by the processes
the Cardinal program executes.
[14:31] Yu
Even player psychological care...
[14:35] Yu
Mental Health Counseling
Program, prototype 1.
[14:39] Yu
Code name: Yui.
[14:41] Yu
That's me.
[14:44] A
A program?
[14:46] A
An AI?
[14:48] Yu
I was given the ability to emulate emotion,
[14:51] ---
to put players at ease with me.
[14:56] Yu
I'm a fake...
[14:57] Yu
All of me.
[14:59] Yu
Even these tears.
[15:01] Yu
I'm sorry, Asuna-san...
[15:04] A
Yui-chan.
[15:10] A
But you had amnesia.
[15:12] A
Can that happen to an AI?
[15:16] Y
Two years ago,
[15:17] Y
on the day of the launch...
[15:20] Y
For reasons I never understood,
[15:22] ---
Cardinal forbade me from interacting
with any of the players.
[15:27] Y
I was forced to do nothing
[15:29] Y
but continue to monitor the
players' mental states.
[15:34] Y
It was utterly horrible.
[15:39] Yu
No!
[15:45] Yu
Terror, despair, rage.
People were overcome by negative feelings.
[15:52] Yu
Some of them went completely insane.
[15:58] Yu
Normally,
[16:00] Yu
I would have gone to them immediately.
[16:04] Yu
But I wasn't permitted
any contact with them.
[16:09] Yu
Gradually, errors accrued within me,
[16:12] Yu
and I fell apart.
[16:18] Yu
But one day,
[16:20] ---
I saw two players whose
mental parameters were
[16:24] ---
very different than the rest.
[16:28] Yu
Joy,
[16:30] ---
peace...
[16:33] Yu
But it was more than that.
[16:38] Yu
I wandered through the field,
[16:40] Yu
hoping to get as close to you as I could.
[16:45] A
And that's why you were
in the 22nd-floor forest?
[16:47] Yu
Yes.
[16:48] Yu
Kirito-san, Asuna-san...
[16:51] ---
I've always wanted to meet you.
[16:55] Yu
It's strange, isn't it?
[16:56] Yu
It should be impossible for me to think that.
[17:00] Yu
I'm only a program...
[17:05] A
Yui-chan,
[17:07] A
you have true intelligence, don't you?
[17:11] Yu
I don't know.
[17:14] Yu
I don't know what's happened to me.
[17:21] K
You aren't just a program that
the system controls anymore.
[17:25] K
So you should be able
to say what you want.
[17:30] K
What do you want?
[17:34] Yu
I...
[17:38] Yu
I...
[17:43] Yu
I want to stay with you forever...
[17:47] ---
Daddy, Mommy!
[17:55] A
Together...
[17:57] A
We'll be together forever, Yui-chan.
[18:01] K
Yeah, you are our child.
[18:10] Yu
It's too late...
[18:13] K
Too late?
[18:15] K
This console grants the
GMs emergency access
[18:20] K
to the system.
[18:23] K
I used it to delete that monster.
[18:28] K
But now it's running a
check on my program.
[18:32] K
Since I've disobeyed Cardinal's orders,
[18:35] ---
it considers me a foreign object.
[18:38] K
I'll be deleted soon.
[18:41] A
No...
[18:42] K
Can't we do something?
[18:46] Yu
Daddy, Mommy, thank you.
[18:49] Yu
This is goodbye.
[18:54] A
No!
[18:55] A
I don't want that!
[18:57] A
We've just started...
[18:59] A
We've just started living together...
[19:04] K
Yui, don't go!
[19:07] Yu
Everyone smiles when they're with you.
[19:13] Yu
Please...
[19:14] Yu
From now on, go and help
people in my place.
[19:20] Yu
Share your happiness with them.
[19:22] A
No... No!
[19:24] A
I can't smile without you...
[19:32] Yu
Smile, Mommy.
[20:01] K
Cardinal!
[20:03] K
No, Kayaba!
[20:06] K
Don't think things will always go
the way you want them to!
[20:12] A
Kirito-kun, what are you...
[20:13] K
I can probably still use this GM
account to access the system.
[20:29] A
Kirito-kun!
[20:31] ---
Are you okay?
[20:39] A
What's this?
[20:40] K
Before Yui's admin credentials were denied,
[20:44] K
I split off her main program and
turned it into a game object.
[20:49] A
Then, this is...
[20:51] K

Catch anything?
[00:31] N
Sorry to scare you...
[00:39] N
My name is Nishida.
[00:42] N
In the game, I'm a fisherman.
[00:44] N
In Japan, I was head of
network security for a company
[00:47] ---
called Toto High-Speed Internet.
[00:49] K
I'm Kirito.
[00:51] K
Didn't Toto High-Speed Internet...
[00:54] N
Yes.
[00:55] N
I oversaw network security for this game.
[01:03] K
It's big!
[01:06] N
This one's easy.
[01:12] K
Splendid.
[01:13] N
Thank you.
[01:15] N
I can catch these things,
but I can't cook them.
[01:19] N
I'd love to stew them or make sashimi,
[01:22] N
but I don't have any soy sauce.
[01:25] N
Or maybe baked with soy sauce.
[01:28] N
Or maybe with radishes and soy sauce...
[01:29] K
I may be able to help with that.
[01:33] N
What?!
SIGN Edge of Hell's Abyss
[03:14] N
That was wonderful!
[03:16] N
I had no idea you could get
soy sauce in this world.
[03:20] A
It's homemade.
[03:22] A
Take some with you, if you'd like.
[03:24] N
Really?
[03:25] N
That's so kind of you.
[03:29] A
Your fishing skill must be very high.
[03:33] A
Kirito-kun's never brought anything home.
[03:38] K
The lakes around here are too hard!
[03:42] N
No,
[03:43] N
that isn't really true.
[03:45] N
The only difficult one
[03:47] ---
is the big lake where you were fishing.
[03:51] K
Why design it like that?
[03:54] N
Yes, that's an excellent question!
[03:56] N
That lake contains
[03:59] ---
an enormous fish.
[04:01] K/A
An enormous fish?
[04:02] N
Yeah...
[04:04] N
I've encountered it several times.
[04:09] N
But it's so huge, it dragged
my pole away altogether.
[04:15] N
And so, I'd like to make you an offer.
[04:25] K
I don't mind fishing for that thing,
[04:27] K
but is switching possible with a fishing pole?
[04:30] A
I know you can do it.
[04:37] A
If you catch it, then what?
[04:39] A
Will you keep it?
[04:40] K
Can you keep something like that?
[04:47] K
He was a friendly guy...
[04:50] A
I was surprised when you brought him here.
[04:56] A
In this world, many people
are living normally.
[05:01] A
Since we can fight on the front lines,
[05:04] ---
we have a responsibility to them, don't we?
[05:09] K
The main reason
[05:10] K
I got stronger was so I'd be able to survive.

I think that lots of people expect
great things from you now...

[09:37] K
We didn't spend much time together,
[09:39] ---
but it was fun.
[09:40] N
Yes, it was a good experience for me.
[09:44] N
Actually, before meeting you,
[09:46] ---
I'd thought of those working to clear
the game as in a different world.
[09:53] N
I've been trapped in here for two years.
[09:56] ---
Even if I make it back somehow,
I don't know if I can return to my old job.
[10:00] N
It's possible I'd already given up on escape.
[10:04] N
And so, I told myself that spending my time
[10:07] ---
with a fishing rod in my hand
would be the best thing for me.
[10:12] N
It's pretty sad.
[10:14] K
No...
[10:15] K
No, that isn't...
[10:17] A
Me, too.
[10:19] A
At first, I thought the same thing.
[10:23] ---
I cried alone every single night.
[10:26] A
It felt like every day that passed here
[10:28] ---
stole another piece of my real life away.
[10:34] A
After I cried, I'd go and
fight as hard as I could.
[10:38] A
My only thought was of winning,
[10:40] ---
moving forward, and getting stronger.
[10:43] A
But then,
[10:45] ---
I saw someone napping in
the shade, at the plaza.
[10:49] A
It made me so mad.
[10:51] A
I told him to stop wasting his time.
[10:54] A
And he replied that it was
Aincrad's best season,
[10:58] ---
and its best weather setting, too.
[11:01] ---
So entering a dungeon would be a waste.
[11:05] A
Then I tried lying down, as well,
[11:08] ---
and I slept like a baby.
[11:11] A
When I awoke, it was evening,
and he looked a bit annoyed.
[11:15] A
But as we partied up together...
[11:21] A
Even in a world like this,
he was really living.
[11:25] A
He wasn't losing a day in the real world.
[11:28] A
He was gaining a day here.
[11:31] A
The one who taught me that
[11:33] A
was Kirito-kun.
[11:36] A
When I began thinking of
him as I fell asleep,
[11:39] ---
I stopped having nightmares.
[11:41] A
I began to look forward to seeing him.
[11:45] A
For the first time since I arrived here,
[11:47] A
I was happy...
[11:51] A
To me, Kirito-kun is
[11:54] ---
the meaning of my two years here...
[11:57] ---
And proof that I'm alive.
[12:00] A
The reason I tried the NerveGear that day
[12:03] ---
was so that I could meet him.
[12:07] A
I'm sure there's also something
important to you here.
[12:12] N
That's true...
[12:15] N
You're exactly right.
[12:17] N
Life isn't so bad.
[12:20] N
It's not so bad...
[12:25] N
There's nothing I can do to help you.

The recon team was wiped out?
[12:57] H
We sent in a twenty-member party,
[12:59] ---
taken from five different guilds,
to prepare for the boss fight.
[13:03] H
However,
[13:04] H
when the first ten reached
the center of the room,
[13:07] ---
and the boss appeared,
the entrance closed.
[13:14] K
An anti-crystal area.
[13:16] H
And when it opened five minutes later,
[13:23] H
nothing remained in the room.
[13:26] H
Neither the ten...
[13:27] H
Nor the boss.
[13:29] K
That's crazy...
[13:30] H
But we cannot give up on clearing the game.
[13:34] H
We'll have to attack with
the largest group we can.
[13:38] K
We'll help.

However, Asuna's safety
is my highest priority.
[13:44] K
If things get bad,

seeks to protect something.

I'll expect a good fight.

Three hours left, huh?

What should we do?
[14:09] A
What's wrong?
[14:12] K
Don't get mad when I say this.
[14:15] K
But today, would you stay here
[14:17] K
rather than go to the boss fight?
[14:22] A
Why would you ask that?
[14:25] K
We can't know what will happen
when we can't use teleport crystals.
[14:30] K
I'm scared.
[14:32] K
If anything happened to you...
[14:33] A
So you want to go yourself,
[14:37] ---
while I wait here, where it's safe?
[14:43] A
If you went and didn't come back, I would
[14:48] ---
kill myself!
[14:51] A
I'd have no reason to live anymore.
[14:53] A
And I wouldn't forgive myself for not going.
[14:56] K
I'm sorry...
[14:58] K
I'm panicking.
[15:00] K
Honestly, I'd rather run away with you.
[15:03] K
We don't have to return to the real world.
[15:06] K
We can just live in the house in the forest!
[15:12] A
It'd be nice if we could...
[15:14] A
We could be together every day, forever.
[15:20] A
Kirito-kun, have you ever considered
[15:22] ---
what's happening to our real bodies?
[15:27] A
When several weeks had passed,
after the game began,
[15:31] A
there was a point when most players
went offline for several hours, right?
[15:36] A
At that point,
[15:37] A
all the players were probably
moved to hospitals.
[15:42] A
If our bodies
[15:44] A
are just barely being kept
alive on hospital beds,
[15:48] A
I can't imagine that will work for too long.
[15:52] K
In other words,
[15:54] ---
whether we clear the game or not,
[15:57] ---
there's a time limit?
[16:05] A
I...
[16:07] A
I want to stay with you forever...
[16:12] A
I want us to date for real.

I don't plan on losing.
[09:30] K
But if I die here,
[09:32] K
I want you to make sure that Asuna can't
kill herself, just for a little while.
[09:38] H
Very well.
[09:39] A
Kirito-kun, no!
[09:42] A
You can't...
[09:43] A
You can't do that!
[09:53] A
Kirito-kun!
[09:56] K
This isn't a duel...
[09:58] K
We're fighting to kill.
[10:01] K
That's right.
[10:02] K
I'm going to kill him!
[10:15] K
He was the one who designed
the dual-wielding skill.
[10:18] K
He'll be able to block all of the
pre-programmed combos.
[10:22] K
I have to defeat him with my own power,
[10:24] ---
without using the sword skills!
[10:28] K
Faster!
[10:29] K
I have to go faster!
[11:02] K
I'm sorry, Asuna...
[11:04] K
You, at least, need to live.
[11:17] H
Farewell, Kirito-kun.
[11:44] K
No, Asuna...

This can't...

[17:32] H
Why, huh?
[17:35] H
I forgot a long time ago.
[17:38] H
I wonder why...
[17:40] H
When I began developing the full-dive environment system...
[17:44] H
No, long before that,
[17:46] H
I dreamed of nothing
[17:48] ---
but creating that castle,
a world that surpassed all our laws
[17:52] ---
and all our restrictions.
[17:56] H
And now I have seen
[17:58] ---
someone surpass even my own world's laws...
[18:05] H
How old must I have been,
[18:07] ---
when I was obsessed with the
fantasy of a steel castle
[18:09] ---
that floated in the sky?
[18:12] H
I wanted to leave the ground,
[18:15] H
to fly to that castle.
[18:17] H
For a long, long time,
that was my only desire...
[18:25] H
You know, Kirito-kun,
[18:27] ---
I still believe
[18:30] ---
that in some other world,
that castle truly exists.
[18:36] K
Yeah, I hope it does.
[18:46] A
I forgot to say this.
[18:48] A
Congratulations on winning the game,

[04:41] K
Morning, Sugu.
[04:45] S
M-M-Morning...
[04:50] S
Honestly...
[04:51] S
If you were watching,
you should've said something.
[04:54] K
Well...
[04:55] K
You were just so into it.
[04:58] S
I really wasn't.
[05:00] S
It's just a habit now.
[05:04] K
I see...
[05:06] K
You've kept it up this whole time.
[05:10] K
It's so light.
[05:12] S
That's timber bamboo,
so it's pretty heavy.
[05:15] K
Oh, um...
[05:17] K
Well...
[05:19] K
I guess it just isn't as
heavy as I'm used to...
[05:28] S
What are you comparing it to?
[05:33] K
Want to give it a go?
[05:36] S
A go? You mean sparring?
[05:39] K
Yeah.
[05:40] S
With protective gear?

Or we could stop before
we strike each other.

But I wouldn't want you
getting hurt right off.
[05:51] K
We still have Grandfather's gear, right?
[05:54] K
Let's do it in the dojo.
[05:57] S
It's been two years,
but you sound pretty confident.
[06:01] S
I was a quarterfinalist in the
middle school nationals.

Think you stand a chance?

And also,
[06:08] S
are you sure you feel up to it?

You shouldn't stress your body.

I'll show you the results of all that

[06:36] K
Don't worry about it.

It's my own style.
[06:41] S
Here I go.
[06:42] K
Okay.
[06:47] S
He's totally open in the front.
[06:49] S
I'll hit him there, and...
[06:53] S
Huh?
[06:55] ---
It's like it's second nature to him.
[07:06] S

[07:29] S

A-Are you okay, Brother?
[07:40] S
Oh, man...

You're strong, Sugu.

[07:48] S
Well,
[07:49] S
let's stop here.
[08:04] K
D-Did you hit your head?
[08:06] K
N-No, it's just years of habit!
[08:12] K
The footwork was fine,
but the attack was poor.
[08:15] K
Guess I can't do the sword skills
without the system to help me.
[08:20] S
I was really surprised, though.
[08:22] S
Have you been practicing?
[08:25] K
In a way...
[08:26] K
But it is pretty fun.

[11:43] Su
So you're the hero Kirito-kun?
[11:47] D
Oh, I apologize...
[11:48] D
We aren't supposed to discuss what

[11:53] D
He's the son of a dear friend.
[11:56] D
He's always been like family.
[12:00] Su
Oh, President...
[12:02] Su
About that,
[12:03] Su
I'd like to make it official.
[12:08] D
I see...
[12:10] D
But are you certain?
[12:12] D
You're still young.
[12:14] D
You could start a new life.
[12:16] Su
My heart has always
been set on one thing.
[12:20] Su
I'd like Asuna-san to wear the dress
[12:25] ---
while she's still beautiful.
[12:29] D
That's a good point...
[12:32] D
It might be time to decide.
[12:37] D
I'm sorry to end our conversation,
but I have a meeting.
[12:43] D
We can discuss this another time.
[12:46] D
Kirigaya-kun,
[12:47] D
I'll see you again.
[12:59] Su
I heard that within the game,
[13:01] Su
you were living with Asuna.
[13:04] K
Yes...
[13:05] Su
Then I suppose that complicates
our relationship.
[13:19] Su
What we were just discussing
[13:21] Su
was Asuna's marriage to me.
[13:28] K
You can't do that...
[13:31] Su
Indeed.
[13:33] Su
It can't be done legally.
[13:35] ---
On paper, I'll simply be adopted
into the Yuuki family.
[13:42] Su
You see, she's never actually liked me.
[13:47] Su
Neither my parents nor hers know that.
[13:49] Su
But if marriage was ever discussed,
[13:51] ---
it's likely that she'd reject me.
[13:54] Su
So this situation is
[13:56] ---
quite fortunate for me...
[14:00] K
Stop it.
[14:06] K
Are you trying to take
advantage of the fact
[14:09] ---
that she's in a coma?
[14:11] Su
Take advantage?
[14:12] Su
No, this is my right.
[14:17] Su
Listen, Kirigaya-kun.
[14:21] Su
Do you know what happened to Argus
[14:24] ---
after they developed SAO?
[14:26] K
I heard they went bankrupt.
[14:29] S
Yes.
[14:31] S
The development costs,
[14:33] ---
plus the massive damages
they were forced to pay,
[14:36] ---
bankrupted the company.
[14:38] ---
And the maintenance of the SAO servers
[14:42] ---
was entrusted to the
electronics manufacturer Lect,
[14:47] ---
whose CEO is Yuuki Souzou.
[14:50] S
And I work for its Full-Dive
Technology Research Division.
[14:54] S
You could even say
[14:55] S
that I'm the one who's
keeping Asuna alive...
[15:02] S
So I can ask for a little something
by way of compensation, can't I?
[15:08] S
I don't know what sort of promises
you made to her in the game.
[15:13] S
But I'd prefer that you never come back.
[15:17] S
Or have any contact
with the Yuuki family.
[15:21] S
The ceremony will be held in this hospital room
in one week, on January 26th.
[15:27] S
The Japanese calendar has more
auspicious days for a wedding,
[15:30] S
but it's a day that brings misery
to friends, so I'll invite you.
[15:35] S
Enjoy your final goodbye,

Could you leave me alone for a while?

Wh-What's wrong?
[16:20] K
It's nothing.

[16:22] S

[17:19] S
Hey, do your best.
[17:22] S
You can't give up on the
one you love so easily.
[17:33] S
I won't lie
[17:37] ---
to myself anymore, either.
[17:47] H
I remember it like it was yesterday.
[17:51] H
When Kazuto told me
[17:52] ---
he wanted to know about
his real parents.
[17:57] H
I was really surprised!
[18:00] H
He was still ten,
[18:01] H
but he'd noticed the deleted record on
the Citizen's Registration Network.
[18:07] S
Jeez, that sounds just like him.
[18:11] H
I was so surprised,
I couldn't keep the secret.
[18:14] H
So I accidentally told him
[18:16] H
that my sister and her husband
were his real parents.
[18:24] S
Hey, Mom.
[18:26] H
What?
[18:27] S
Do you think the fact that he began
playing online games constantly
[18:30] ---
ever since he started middle school
[18:34] ---
is related to that?
[18:36] H
It isn't.
[18:38] H
He was already building his own machine
[18:41] ---
out of junk parts when he was still six.
[18:44] H
I think he inherited
my love of computers.
[18:49] H
At least mentally.
[18:52] H
Then, I'm heading home.
[18:55] H
Don't stay here too long, Suguha.
[18:58] S
Yeah, okay.
[19:05] S
Happy birthday.
[19:15] S
I still can't really believe

Does anyone ever come here besides me?
[00:21] E
Shut up.
[00:22] E
It's busy at night.
[00:28] K
So what was that picture you sent?
[00:34] E
It's a bit of a long story.
[00:37] E
Ever hear of this?
[00:42] K

[00:43] E
It's an MMO for the Amusphere,

[02:42] K
Land of the Fairies?
[02:45] K
Mostly social, then?
[02:46] E
No, supposedly not.
[02:50] E
There's a heavy emphasis on player skill.
[02:53] E
PKing is encouraged.
[02:55] K
Player skill?
[02:57] E
No actual levels, as such.
[03:00] E

[03:03] E
Combat depends on the
player's athletic ability.

[03:08] E
Like an SAO with magic, but no Sword Skills.
[03:12] E
It's really popular.
[03:15] E
I've heard it's because you can fly.
[03:18] K
Fly?
[03:19] E
You're a fairy, so you have wings.
[03:21] E
It has something called a "flight engine,"
[03:23] ---
and once you're used to it, you can fly.
[03:27] K
How do you control it?
[03:29] E
I don't know.
[03:30] E
But I hear it's pretty hard.
[03:33] K
It certainly would be hard
[03:34] K
to control wings when humans don't have any.
[03:38] K
Maybe you use the muscles on your back?
[03:43] K
So what does this popular game have to do with Asuna?
[03:50] E
What do you think?
[03:52] K
It looks like Asuna.
[03:55] E
I thought you'd say that.
[03:57] K
Just tell me.
[03:58] K
Where is this?
[04:00] E
Inside the game, ALfheim Online.
[04:05] E
At what's called the World Tree.
[04:09] E
A legendary castle sits atop this tree.
[04:12] E
Players are divided into nine races,
[04:15] ---
all of them racing to reach the castle first.
[04:20] K
Can't they just fly there?
[04:22] E
Supposedly, there's a limit to how long
you can fly, so you can't do it forever.
[04:26] E
And so, five players lined up,
bigger ones on the bottom,
[04:31] ---
and flew up like a rocket.
[04:34] E
I get it...
[04:35] E
It's dumb, but pretty smart.
[04:38] E
And they didn't even make it
to the tree's lowest branch,
[04:42] ---
but they did take a few pictures.
[04:44] E
And something strange was in one of them.
[04:48] E
A birdcage?
[04:50] E
And when they zoomed in on
the cage as best they could,
[04:55] ---
they found this.
[04:57] E
But why would Asuna be there?
[05:02] E
RCT progress?
[05:05] ThatOneAsshole
You could even say
[05:07] ThatOneAsshole
that I'm the one who's
keeping Asuna alive...
[05:13] K
Agil, can I take this?
[05:16] E
I don't mind, but are you going there?
[05:19] K
I need to see for myself.
[05:22] K
A game where you can die is too easy.
[05:30] K
I'll have to buy the hardware, too.
[05:33] E
It works with the NerveGear, as well.
[05:34] E
The Amusphere is just a NerveGear
with better security.
[05:39] K
Glad to hear it.
[05:41] E
Go save Asuna.
[05:43] E
Otherwise, our fight can't really end.
[05:47] K
Yeah, we can all meet here someday.
[06:06] S
I'm so stupid!
[06:08] K
I'm back.
[06:11] S
Brother!
[06:25] K
Here.
[06:30] S
I thought I was going to die.
[06:33] K
You're always so careless.
[06:35] K
Calm down a little.
[06:39] K
Sugu, about last night...
[06:41] S
Y-Yeah?
[06:44] K
Um... Well...
[06:47] K
Thank you.
[06:49] K
Thanks to you, I felt better.
[06:52] K
I won't give up.
[06:55] K
I'm going to get Asuna back.
[06:59] S
Yeah.
[07:00] S
Good luck.
[07:02] S
I want to meet her, too.
[07:05] K
I'm sure you'll like her.
[07:08] K
I'll see you later.
[07:26] TOA
The ceremony will be held in this hospital
room, in one week, on January 26th.
[07:31] TOA
I'll invite you.
[07:34] K
Please help me one more time.
[07:49] K
Link start!

Welcome to ALfheim Online.
[08:08] Voice
First enter your gender and character name.
[08:15] TOA
So you're the hero Kirito-kun?
[08:29] V
Now select your race.
[08:31] V
Please select one of the nine races.
[08:38] K
I'll take this one.
[08:41] V
Spriggan, correct?
[08:43] V
Your character's appearance
will be decided at random.
[08:46] V
Is that all right?
[08:50] V
You will now be transferred to the
home town within Spriggan territory.
[08:54] V
Good luck.

There it is!
SIGN You cannot instantly log out in the field. Is that all right?

What's going on?
[10:49] K
Is this inside SAO?
[11:00] K
Wait.
[11:02] K
Please be here...
[11:48] K
It's me, Yui!
[11:50] K
Do you remember me?
[11:56] Y
I got to see you again, Daddy!
[12:01] K
Yui...
[12:04] Y
Mommy.
[12:06] A
You must be hungry!
[12:07] A
Let's eat.
[12:08] Y
Yeah!
[12:17] Y
It's good...
[12:18] Y
Mommy...
[12:20] Y
Daddy...
[12:23] Y
Daddy!
[12:25] Y
Daddy!
[12:28] ---
Daddy...
[12:31] K
Miracles really do happen.
[12:45] K
So what's going on here?
[12:50] K
We aren't inside SAO.
[12:54] K
It's another game, called ALfheim Online.
[12:59] Y
Hold on a second.
[13:03] Y
This world is a copy of the
Sword Art Online servers.
[13:08] K
A copy?
[13:09] Y
Yes.
[13:11] Y
The engine, programming,
and graphics format are identical.
[13:15] Y
But the version of the Cardinal
system is a little outdated.
[13:22] K
RCT took over operations after Argus,
the company that originally made SAO.
[13:27] K
In other words, RCT took Argus's
programs and is using them.
[13:33] K
But why is my personal data here?
[13:37] Y
Let me have a look at your data, Daddy.
[13:43] Y
This is definitely
[13:44] Y
your character data from SAO.
[13:49] Y
The save data format is nearly identical,
[13:53] ---
so any skills common to both games
had their levels overwritten.
[13:58] K
Come to think of it, my dual-wielding was gone.
[14:01] Y
Your items appear to be lost, as well.
[14:05] Y
You should delete them before the error
detection program finds them.
[14:10] K
I see.
SIGN Do you want to delete all items?
[14:28] K
Now, what about my skill levels?
[14:31] Y
Your skills shouldn't be a problem unless
a human game master sees them.
[14:38] K
O-Okay...
[14:40] K
I'm not a beater anymore.
I'm just a cheater.
[14:45] K
How is the system treating you, Yui?
[14:48] Y
Let's see...
[14:50] Y
I'm classified as a player-support
artificial personality program,
[14:54] ---
a Navigation Pixie.
[15:08] Y
This is my form as a Pixie.
[15:13] Y
That tickles.
[15:15] K
Then do you still have admin
privileges like before?
[15:19] Y
No.
[15:20] Y
All I can do is access the reference
and wide-area map databases.
[15:25] K
I see.
[15:27] K
Actually, it seems Asuna...
[15:31] K
Your mommy is here.
[15:33] ---
Mommy?
[15:35] ---
What do you mean?
[15:37] K
Even after SAO was cleared,
Asuna never woke up in reality.
[15:42] K
I heard about someone who
saw her in ALfheim.
[15:47] Y
So that's what happened...
[15:50] K
I have a good idea of where to look.
[15:53] K
It's called the World Tree.
[15:55] K
I think that's it.
[15:57] Y
Mommy is over there?
[16:05] K
Actually,
[16:06] K
why did I log in at this empty forest?
[16:10] K
I was supposed to be warped
to the home town...
[16:14] Y
I don't know.
[16:15] Y
Maybe your location data got corrupted?
[16:17] Y
Or something got confused?
[16:20] K
I wish it'd dropped me near the World Tree.
[16:29] K
These are the wings, huh?
[16:31] K
How do I fly?
[16:34] Y
There's an assist controller.
[16:36] Y
Raise your left hand as if
you're grabbing something.
[16:45] Y
Pull toward yourself to elevate.
[16:48] Y
Push to descend.
[16:49] Y
Left or right to turn
[16:56] Y
Hold down the button to accelerate.
[16:59] Y
Release to decelerate.
[17:04] Y
You can fly as long as your wings are shining.
[17:08] Y
After a certain amount of time,
[17:11] ---
you need to let them rest.
[17:20] K
I see...
[17:21] K
I think I've got it.
[17:23] K
For now, where's the closest town?
[17:27] K
There's a town in Sylph territory
called Sylvein to the west.
[17:31] K
That's the closest one...
[17:34] K
What's wrong?
[17:35] Y
There are players nearby.

Lea...
[17:56] Re
Leafa-chan, wait!

You can do it, Recon!

If we can escape to Sylph territory...
[18:04] Ri
Recon, dodge!
[18:09] Ri
Back off, already!
[18:12] Ri
Fine...

so try and knock one down.

I'll do my best.

You should do something useful

Damn it!

[19:10] Re
Sorry!
[19:14] Ri
Recon...
[19:45] Guys
Sorry,
[19:46] Guys
but we're on a mission.
[19:48] Guys
Leave your money and items,
and we'll let you go.
[19:51] Guys
Why are you being a gentlemen, Kagemune?
[19:54] Guys
It's been ages since we fought a woman.
[19:56] Guys
Let's kill her.
[20:00] Ri
I'll take at least one of you with me.
[20:03] Ri
Anyone who doesn't fear the death
penalty can come and get me!
[20:07] Guy
You're a strong-willed girl.
[20:09] Guy
Very well.
[20:38] K
I'm going to have to practice my landings...
[20:47] Ri
What are you doing? Run!
[20:50] K
Three heavy fighters attacking a single girl?
[20:53] K
That's kind of lame.
[20:56] Guys
What did you say?!
[20:57] Guys
Stay out of this, newbie.
[21:04] Guys
Then we'll fight you, too!
[21:24] K
Um...
[21:26] K
Can I kill them?
[21:30] Ri
I-I guess so...
[21:33] Ri
They plan to kill you.
[21:36] K
All right, then.

Hey, what are these flames?

Shh... They're Remain Lights.

Their minds are still there.
[02:33] L
So what should I do now?
[02:36] L
Thank you? Run away?
[02:40] L
Or fight?
[02:42] K
Personally,
[02:44] K
I see myself as the hero who
just saved the princess.
[02:48] K
Crying and running into my
arms would be a good start.
[02:51] L
Are you stupid?!
[02:53] K
I was just kidding!
[02:56] Y
That's right!
[02:58] Y
You can't do that!
[02:59] L
Hey, stay out of sight...
[03:01] Y
The only ones who can hug
Daddy are Mommy and me!
[03:04] L
D-Daddy?
[03:06] K
Oh... Well, this is...
[03:09] L
Is that a Private Pixie?
[03:13] K
Y-Yeah, something like that.
[03:17] L
Fine, but why is a Spriggan
wandering around here?
[03:22] K
I-I got lost...
[03:28] L
Your territory is way to the east!
[03:30] L
Is it even possible to be that lost?
[03:32] L
You're so weird.
[03:40] L
Anyway, I should thank you.
[03:42] L
Thanks for saving me.
[03:44] L
My name is Leafa.
[03:45] K
I'm Kirito.
[03:47] K
This is Yui.
[03:53] L
So, Kirito-kun...
[03:56] L
What will you do now?
[03:58] L
If you'd like, I could buy
you a drink as thanks.
[04:01] L
Well?
[04:02] K
That would be nice.
[04:04] K
Actually, I was looking for someone
who could tell me some things.
[04:07] L
Like what?
[04:08] L
About this world, and
especially about that tree.
[04:13] K
That tree?
[04:14] K
The World Tree?
[04:17] L
Sure.
[04:18] L
I've been playing this game a long time.
[04:22] L
There's a neutral village to the north.
[04:24] ---
It's a bit far, but let's fly there.
[04:27] K
Isn't the town called Sylvein closer?
[04:32] L
You really don't know anything, do you?
[04:34] L
That's Sylph territory.
[04:36] K
So?
[04:37] L
That means you can't attack
Sylphs in their territory,
[04:40] ---
but they can attack you.
[04:43] K
They wouldn't just start
attacking all of a sudden.
[04:46] K
And I have you with me, Leafa-san.
[04:50] L
Just call me Leafa.
[04:51] L
If you insist, it's fine.
[04:54] L
But I can't guarantee
that you'll survive.
[04:57] L
Then, let's go.
[05:02] K
You can fly without
an assist controller?
[05:06] L
Yeah, what about you?
[05:07] K
I just recently learned
how to use this...
[05:11] L
There's a trick to flying on your own.
[05:14] L
Turn around, and don't
use your controller.
[05:16] K
O-Okay.
[05:19] L
Can you tell where I'm touching you?
[05:22] L
Imagine virtual bones
and muscles spreading
[05:24] ---
out from here, then try to move them.
[05:27] K
Virtual bones and muscles...
[05:32] L
Like that!
[05:35] L
Just like that.
[05:36] L
Try the same movement
again, but stronger.
[05:55] L
Oh, crap!
[05:56] Y
Daddy!
[05:57] L
Kirito-kun, you okay?
[06:06] K
Make it stop!
[06:13] Y
I'm sorry, Daddy!
[06:14] Y
That's hilarious...
[06:26] K
This is great.
[06:28] L
It is, right?
[06:30] L
You've got good instincts.
[06:32] L
Now, follow me.
[06:34] K
Okay.
[06:36] L
Go slow at first.
[06:40] K
We can go faster.
[06:56] K
Is this the fastest we can go?
[06:59] L
Don't blame me for whatever happens.
[07:12] Y
I can't go on...
[07:23] L
You might be the first other person
who can handle this speed.
SIGN Sylph Territory, Sylvein
January 20, 2025
[07:35] K
We're here.
[07:38] L
We'll land at the base
of the central tower.
[07:42] L
Kirito-kun, do you know how to land?
[07:46] K
I don't...
[07:47] L
Um...
[07:50] L
Sorry!
[07:51] L
It's too late.
[07:53] L
Good luck!
[07:54] K
Y-You're kidding me!
[08:05] K
That was horrible, Leafa.
[08:07] L
It's okay. I'll heal you.
[08:16] K
Wow, so this is magic?
[08:19] L
Only Undines can use
high-level healing magic.
[08:23] L
But that's a really important spell,
so you should learn it, too.
[08:26] K
So different races get
different bonuses?
[08:30] K
What are Spriggans good at?
[08:33] L
Treasure hunting and
illusion magic, I guess.
[08:36] L
Neither of those is much use in battle.
[08:46] K
So this is a Sylph town?
[08:49] K
It's pretty.
[08:51] L
Isn't it?
[08:53] R
Leafa-chan!
[08:55] R
You're okay!
[08:57] L
Oh, Recon.
[09:00] R
You're great, Leafa-chan.
[09:02] R
A Spriggan?!
[09:04] L
It's okay.
[09:06] L
He saved me.
[09:09] L
This is Recon,
[09:10] L
my friend.
[09:12] K
Hi, I'm Kirito.
[09:14] R
Nice to meet you.
[09:17] R
No... No, no, no!
[09:19] R
Are you sure about this?
[09:20] ---
He isn't a spy or anything, is he?
[09:23] K
It's fine.
[09:25] K
He's a little too dim to be a spy.
[09:28] L
That's mean.
[09:30] K
Sigurd and the rest
[09:31] ---
saved you a seat at the usual tavern.
[09:33] L
Oh, okay.
[09:38] L
I'll pass today.
[09:41] R
You aren't coming?
[09:42] L
No, I promised Kirito-kun
a drink for saving me.
[09:46] L
See you later!
[09:47] L
W-Wait...
[09:50] R
Leafa-chan...
[10:04] K
Was that your boyfriend?
[10:06] Y
Your lover?
[10:09] L
N-No!
[10:10] L
He's just a party member.
[10:13] K
You seemed pretty close, though.
[10:15] L
I know him in real life.
[10:17] L
He's in my grade at school.
[10:19] L
But that's all!
[10:24] L
Anyway...
[10:26] L
Thanks for saving me!
[10:32] K
They were pretty aggressive...
[10:35] K
Are group PKs like that common?
[10:37] L
Salamanders and Sylphs don't
get along, to begin with.
[10:41] L
But an organized PK like
that is pretty new.
[10:45] L
I'm sure they'll start trying to
clear the World Tree soon.
[10:50] K
About that.
[10:51] K
I'd like you to tell me
about the World Tree.
[10:53] L
You said something about that.
[10:55] L
But why?
[10:57] K
I want to get up there.
[11:00] L
I think that's true for all the players.
[11:03] L
That's ALO's grand quest.
[11:07] K
What do you mean?
[11:08] L
You know how you're limited
in how high you can go?
[11:11] L
And no race can fly continuously
for more than ten minutes...
[11:16] L
But the first race
[11:18] ---
to reach the Floating City
atop the World Tree,
[11:21] ---
and hold an audience with
the Fairy King Oberon,
[11:24] L
will be reborn as an advanced
class known as Alfs.
[11:27] L
And they'll be able to
fly as much as they like.
[11:32] K
I see.
[11:33] K
That does sound nice.
[11:37] K
How do you get to the
top of the World Tree?
[11:40] L
The base is a big dome.
[11:42] L
You can reach the Floating
City from there.
[11:45] L
But the NPC guardians that defend
the dome are really powerful.
[11:50] K
They're that strong?
[11:51] L
The game's been around for a full year.
[11:53] L
Would you believe no one's
beaten the quest yet?
[11:57] K
Everyone must be missing a key quest.
[11:59] K
Or it's set so that one race can't
get there by themselves.
[12:05] L
You have good instincts.
[12:07] L
Everyone's searching for a
[12:08] ---
missed quest as hard
as they can right now.
[12:11] L
But if it's the latter,
no one will ever clear it.
[12:14] K
No one?
[12:16] L
Because it makes no sense!
[12:18] L
Why would you help another
race with a quest
[12:21] ---
if only one can clear it?
[12:25] K
Then, does that mean it's impossible
[12:28] ---
to reach the top of the World Tree?
[12:31] L
I think so.
[12:34] L
But you can't just give it up.
[12:36] L
Not once you see how fun it is to fly.
[12:38] L
Even if it takes years, someday...
[12:42] K
That's too long!
[12:50] Y
Daddy?
[12:53] K
I'm sorry.
[12:54] K
But I need to reach the
top of the World Tree.
[13:00] L
Why is it so important?
[13:02] K
I'm looking for someone...
[13:05] ---
What do you mean?
[13:07] L
It's not easy to explain.
[13:17] K
Thank you, Leafa.

That information helped a lot.

Wait.
[13:29] L
Are you going to the World Tree?
[13:32] K
Yes, I need to see for myself.
[13:36] L
It's crazy...
[13:39] L
It's far, far away, and there are
a lot of strong monsters.
[13:44] L
Sure, you're strong, but...
[13:49] L
Then, I'll take you there!
[13:55] K
But I couldn't ask that of
someone I just met.
[13:59] L
Do you know how to get there?
[14:02] L
What about the guardians?
[14:05] K
Well, I'll think of something.
[14:08] L
It's fine.

I've already made up my mind!

Fine.

Y-Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Right, Daddy?

Um...

Can I sleep next to

Yeah, sure.

Let's save Asuna,

It sounds like a dream,

Goodnight, Daddy.

I love that look of yours more
than anything, Titania.
[16:57] TOA
The one where you seem about to cry.
[17:00] TOA
I want to freeze it
and hang it on a wall.
[17:04] A
Then, go ahead.
[17:14] A
You can do whatever you like, right?
[17:17] A
You're a system admin.
[17:19] TOA
You're so cold.
[17:22] TOA
Have I ever touched you
[17:23] ---
when you didn't want me to, Titania?
[17:26] A
Stop calling me that weird name.
[17:29] A
My name is Asuna, Sugou-san.
[17:33] TOA
You're ruining the fun...
[17:35] TOA
In this world, I am
the Fairy King Oberon.
[17:38] TOA
The ruler of ALfheim,
whom all players regard with awe.
[17:42] TOA
And you are my bride, the Queen Titania.
[17:45] TOA
Isn't that enough?
[17:48] TOA
When will you open your
heart to me as my bride?
[17:53] A
It's hopeless.
[17:54] A
The only things I have to give
you are disgust and hatred.
[17:57] A
That's all.
[17:58] TOA
You're very strong willed.
[18:01] TOA
But you know...
[18:03] TOA
Lately, I've been thinking
[18:05] ---
it might be nice
[18:10] ---
to take you by force.
[18:37] A
Stop it...
[18:43] TOA
It was a joke.
[18:45] TOA
I told you that I won't
force myself upon you.
[18:48] TOA
It won't be too long
[18:50] TOA
before you start to want me.
[18:54] A
Are you insane?
[18:57] TOA
You won't be talking like that for long.
[19:01] TOA
There are tens of thousands
[19:03] ---
of players enjoying this game right now.
[19:07] TOA
But they don't understand the true value
[19:10] ---
of the full-dive system.
[19:13] TOA
By expanding the brain's
control regions,
[19:16] TOA
it's possible it could control thought,
emotion, even memory.
[19:22] A
No...
[19:23] A
They wouldn't allow that!
[19:25] TOA
Who wouldn't?
[19:26] TOA
Many nations are already researching it.
[19:31] TOA
But human experiments aren't
easy things to perform.
[19:35] TOA
But one day, I was watching
the news, and I discovered
[19:40] ---
ten thousand perfect test subjects!
[19:45] TOA
Kayaba-senpai was a genius, but a fool.
[19:48] TOA
To prepare such a splendid vessel,
[19:50] ---
and be satisfied using it for nothing
[19:52] ---
more than making a game.
[19:54] TOA
It wasn't hard at all
to adjust the routers
[19:57] ---
to grab a few players
when they logged out.
[20:02] TOA
And as a result, I got three hundred
test subjects of my own!
[20:07] TOA
In just two months, my research
has taken great strides.
[20:10] TOA
The technology to implant new
objects into human memories,
[20:13] ---
using them to induce emotion
is almost complete.
[20:19] A
You're lying.
[20:21] A
My father would never allow that!
[20:27] TOA
The research is being performed
[20:29] ---
in secret by a very
small team and myself.
[20:32] TOA
Otherwise, I wouldn't
be able to sell it.
[20:34] A
Sell it?
[20:36] TOA
A certain American corporation
[20:38] ---
is eagerly awaiting its completion.
[20:41] TOA
I'm going to sell it at a high price.
[20:43] TOA
And RCT, too, someday.
[20:45] A
I won't let that happen.
[20:49] A
Once I return to the real world,
[20:51] ---
the first thing I'll
do is alert the police.
[20:56] TOA
You're in the same position
as the other subjects.
[21:00] TOA
If I wanted, I could alter
your memories, too.
[21:14] TOA
I'm on my way.
[21:15] TOA
Wait for orders.
[21:18] TOA
But I don't want to turn
you into a mere doll.
[21:23] TOA
I hope you're a little more
[21:26] ---
submissive the next time we meet,
[21:29] ---
Titania.
[21:46] TOA
Farewell, then.
[22:01] A
Save me, Kirito-kun...

Yeah, then let's go to the weapons shop.

Is this "Yuld" stuff money?

Yeah.

W-We're leaving, Yui.

Okay.

Why are we going to the tower?
[06:11] Su
Oh, when flying long distances,
you start from the top of the tower.

It gives you extra altitude.

Hello, Sigurd.

You're leaving the party, Leafa?
[06:50] Su
Yeah, I guess so.
[06:52] Si
Don't you understand how that will
inconvenience the other members?
[06:57] Su
You promised I could join
only when I had time,
[07:00] ---
and that I could leave whenever I wanted.
[07:03] Si
But you're already a well-known
member of our party.
[07:07] Si
If you leave without a reason,
[07:09] ---
it will damage our reputation.
[07:17] K
Your party members aren't items.
[07:21] Si
What was that?
[07:26] K
You can't keep other players
equipped all the time,

as if they were your armor or sword.
[07:34] Si
You...
[07:36] Si
You're just another Spriggan who
likes to rummage through trash!
[07:39] Si
You're probably a renegade who was
kicked out of his own territory.
[07:43] Su
Don't be rude.
[07:45] Su
Kirito-kun is my new partner!
[07:47] Si
What?
[07:49] Si
Leafa!

Are you abandoning your territory
[07:51] ---
and becoming a renegade, too?
[07:54] Su
Yes, I am.
[07:56] Su
I'm leaving this place.
[07:59] Si
As long as you just buzzed around,
I didn't plan to concern myself with you.
[08:03] Si
But if you're going to be a thief,
that's a different matter.
[08:06] Si
If you're here, in another species' territory,
[08:09] ---
you can't complain if you get killed, right?

This isn't the time, Sigurd-san.

If we kill someone who can't fight
back in front of all these people...

Sorry for getting you involved in that.

But are you sure about this?

Abandoning your territory...

H-Hey...

This is an amazing view.

We're so close to the sky.

It's like I can reach out and touch it.

Isn't it?

Whenever I see this sky,

it makes everything else feel small.
[09:28] Su
This was a good opportunity.

I always meant to leave this place.
[09:33] K
I see.
[09:34] K
But it feels like I made
you leave on bad terms.
[09:38] Su
There wasn't any other
way I could have left.
[09:43] K
What's a renegade?
[09:46] Su
A player who abandons
their territory is a renegade.
[09:49] Su
And other players look down on them.
[09:53] K
Are you certain about this?
[09:54] Su
Yeah, I am.
[09:57] Su
But why do they want to tie
each other down like that?
[10:02] Su
We all have these wings...
[10:08] Y
Humans are complicated.
[10:11] Y
I can't understand the psychology that
causes the desire to seek others

to manifest in such odd ways.

Seek others?

This is what...

It's simple and unmistakable.

Oh, Recon.

You could've at least said
something before you left!
[10:49] Su
Sorry, I forgot.

[10:56] Su
At least halfway on the
spur of the moment...
[11:00] Su
What will you do?
[11:01] R
What else can I do?
[11:03] R
My sword belongs to you alone!
[11:06] Su
I don't really need it, though.
[11:10] R
W-Well, so I'll be going with you.
[11:14] R
Or I'd like to.

But something's bothering me.

What is it?
[11:20] R
I can't prove anything yet,

[20:22] Su
Do you like him?
[20:26] Y
Leafa-san, what does it
mean to like someone?
[20:30] Su
What does it mean?
[20:32] Su
You want to be with them all the time.
[20:34] Su
You get excited when you're together.
[20:38] Su
Something like that?
[20:42] Y
What's wrong, Leafa-san?
[20:44] Su
Nothing!
[20:45] K
What's nothing?
[20:48] K
I'm back.
[20:50] K
Did something happen?
[20:51] Y
Welcome back, Daddy.
[20:53] Y
I was just talking with Leafa-san.
[20:56] Y
About what it means to―
[20:57] Su
It's nothing!
[20:59] Su
Th-That was fast.
[21:01] Su
Did you get to eat?
[21:03] K
Yeah, my family left me something.
[21:06] Su
I see...
[21:07] Su
Then let's get going.
[21:11] K
Yeah.
[21:13] K
Let's go, then.
[21:17] Su
Is something wrong?
[21:18] K
It felt
[21:20] K
like someone was watching us.
[21:23] K
Yui, are any players nearby?
[21:25] Y
No, I don't see anything.
[21:28] Su
Maybe there's a tracer on us.
[21:31] K
What's that?
[21:32] Su
It's a kind of magic.
[21:34] Su
It takes the form of a small animal or insect,
and tells the caster the target's position.
[21:39] K
Can't you get rid of it?
[21:40] Su
If you can find it, you can.
[21:43] ---
But if the caster's magic skill is high,
it can be farther from the target.
[21:47] Su
It'd be nearly impossible to
find in a field like this.
[21:50] K
I see.
[21:51] K
Well, it might be my imagination.
[21:54] K
Let's hurry.
[21:56] Su
Yeah.

I guess Spriggans are good for something.
[00:19] K
Put that way, it kind of hurts.
[00:23] L
But you should memorize
any magic you can use.
[00:26] L
Of course, the only magic you're
good at is illusion magic.
[00:28] K
Illusion?
[00:29] L
You can use it to trick people.
[00:31] L
It's not that useful in combat, though.
[00:34] L
Well, even the lame Spriggan magic

Let's hide and wait for them to pass.
[03:25] K
But where?
[03:27] L
Just leave that to me.
[03:31] K
H-Hey...
[03:42] L
Make sure you whisper
as quietly as you can.
[03:45] L
If you're too loud, it'll break the spell.
[03:48] K
Roger.
[03:49] L
We'll be able to see them soon.
[03:55] K
What is that?
[03:57] L
We can't see them yet?
[03:59] K
It isn't a player.
[04:01] K
A bat?
[04:02] K
It's red and small.
[04:14] K
H-Hey, what's wrong?
[04:16] L
That's a high-level tracing searcher.
[04:19] L
We have to destroy it!
[04:30] L
Run, Kirito-kun!
[04:32] K
Can't we just hide again?
[04:34] L
The enemy knows we blew up their tracer.
[04:38] L
We won't be able to fool them.
[04:39] L
And that was a fire element familiar.
[04:43] L
Which means that the approaching party...
[04:45] K
Salamanders?
[04:50] L
But what is a group of
Salamanders doing here?
[04:54] K
It's a lake...

Don't lower your guard and fall in.
[05:10] L
Crap.
[05:18] L
That won't work.
[05:19] K
You should've said something sooner.
[05:22] L
You're in too big a hurry.
[05:25] L
This is an earth magic barrier.
[05:27] L
Physical attacks won't break it.
[05:29] K
Can we jump in the lake?
[05:31] L
Nope.
[05:32] L
Supposedly, there are extremely
high-level monsters in the water.
[05:36] L
Fighting without an Undine backing
you up would be suicide.
[05:41] K
Then we have to fight?
[05:44] L
Yeah, but it might not be too easy.
[05:48] L
If the Salamanders can use
high-level earth magic,
[05:51] ---
they have a powerful mage.
[05:56] K
Leafa...
[05:57] K
It isn't that I don't trust your
skills as a swordsman.
[06:00] K
But could you handle support from here?
[06:04] K
I want you to stay in the back and heal me.
[06:07] K
That way, I can fight harder.
[06:35] L
They're focusing on taking him out.
[06:50] L
Kirito-kun!
[07:28] L
He'll run out of HP at this rate...
[07:32] L
That's enough Kirito-kun.
[07:33] ---
If we lose, we'll just have
to fly a few more hours!
[07:36] L
Let's give up!
[07:39] K
No way.
[07:41] K
While I'm alive, I won't let
any party members die.

B-But that won't help.
[08:51] K
Daddy, now!
[08:57] L
That's illusion magic.
[09:00] L
But it only makes you
look like a big monster.
[09:20] L
Is that you, Kirito-kun?
[09:38] Guy
Idiot!
[09:39] Guy
Don't break formation!
[09:40] Guy
It just looks scary and has long reach.
[09:42] Guy
If we stick to the plan and stay in formation,

the damage won't get through!
[10:00] Guy

[11:20] K
Oh, that was fun...
[11:27] K
Hey, nice fight.

That was a good plan.
[11:31] K
If I'd been alone, I wouldn't
have lasted a minute.
[11:34] L
W-Wait, Kirito-kun!
[11:36] K
Give me a second.
[11:38] K
So, I have an offer for you.
[11:41] K
These are the items and Yuld
I won in the last battle.
[11:45] K
If you answer my questions,
maybe you can have them!
[11:52] Guy
Seriously?
[11:53] K
Totally.
[11:58] L
Men.
[12:00] Y
He's pretty blunt about it.
[12:04] Guy
It was earlier this evening
when G-Takusu-san...
[12:07] Guy
The leader of the mage squad, I mean...
[12:11] Guy
He messaged me on my cell to meet here.
[12:14] Guy
And when I arrived,
[12:15] ---
he said twelve of us were going
to go hunting for two people.
[12:18] Guy
I thought it was overkill, but...
[12:21] Guy
He said you were the ones who
took out Kagemune-san,
[12:23] Guy
so it made sense.
[12:24] K
Kagemune? Who's that?
[12:26] G
The leader of the lancer squad.
[12:28] G
He's famous for hunting Sylphs.
[12:31] G
But yesterday, he got wiped
out in battle, and ran back.
[12:34] G
That was you, right?
[12:37] L
But why did this G-Takusu
guy come after us?
[12:42] G
Looks like it was someone higher up...
[12:44] G
Something about you interfering with the plan.
[12:46] K
Plan?
[12:48] G
They wouldn't tell someone at the
bottom of the totem pole like me.
[12:51] G
But it looks like they're
planning something big...
[12:54] G
When I logged in today,
[12:56] G
I saw a huge number heading north.
[13:00] L
They must be...
[13:01] L
going for the World Tree.
[13:04] G
No way.
[13:05] G
We figured the whole army would need at
least ancient weapon-class equipment.
[13:09] G
So we're saving money for that.
[13:13] G
That's all I know.
[13:16] G
You weren't lying about what
you said earlier, were you?
[13:18] K
No,
[13:19] K
I'd never lie about a trade.
[13:23] L
Hey, that monster I just saw...
[13:27] L
That was you, right?
[13:28] K
I think so...
[13:31] L
You think so?
[13:32] K
That happens to me sometimes...
[13:35] K
I just snap in battle,
and start forgetting things.
[13:39] L
Scary.
[13:40] K
Though I do mostly remember this recent one.
[13:43] K
I used the spell Yui suggested.
[13:45] Y
Now!
[13:47] L
And then I got huge...
[13:50] L
I lost my sword too, so I just
started grabbing people.
[13:54] Y
You were chomping on them, too.
[13:57] K
Come to think of it, yeah...
[13:59] K
I got to feel like a monster.
It was lots of fun!
[14:03] L
Did they taste like anything?
[14:06] K
A texture like yakiniku just before it's burnt.
[14:09] L
Actually, never mind.
[14:11] L
Don't say it.
[14:28] L
So this is Lugru?
[14:32] Y
That one was your fault.
[14:34] L

lighten up a tense vibe.

[16:05] R

[16:07] R

[16:21] R
Didn't that strike you as odd?
[16:25] L
Odd?
[16:26] L
Did something happen?
[16:27] R
Sigurd said he'd be a decoy,

Oh, right...
[16:33] R

That's true.

But what does that mean?
[16:47] R
What I'm getting at is...
[16:48] R
He's been working with the Salamanders.
[16:51] R
Probably for a while now!
[16:54] L
Do you have any proof?
[16:57] R
I thought something was weird,
[17:00] ---
so I spent the whole day invisible,
and I followed Sigurd.
[17:05] R
And I saw them...
[17:07] ---
They were putting on invisibility
cloaks in a back alley, too.
[17:10] R
I thought something was strange.
[17:14] R
Down deep in the sewers,
[17:17] ---
there were two weird guys
waiting for them...
[17:20] R
And they were Salamanders!
[17:24] R
I knew something was up,
so I went to listen in.
[17:27] ---
And they said they put a tracer on you.
[17:41] L
Then what happened to you?
[17:43] R
I'm still in the sewers,
paralyzed from the poison arrow.
[17:46] R
And the Salamanders have me.
[17:49] L
That's why you called me IRL...
[17:53] R
It's more than that!
[17:55] R
Sakuya-san is supposed to form an
alliance with the Cait Sith today.
[17:59] R
So she's secretly heading
to neutral territory.
[18:03] R
Sigurd's going to attack the signing ceremony
[18:06] ---
with a huge group of Salamanders!
[18:14] L
We have to hurry!
[18:16] K
Welcome back, Leafa.
[18:17] Y
Welcome back.
[18:18] L
Kirito-kun, I'm sorry.
[18:22] L
I have to take care of something now.
[18:25] L
It seems I don't have time to explain.
[18:29] L
And I may not be able to return here...
[18:33] K
Then you can explain on the way.
[18:37] K
We have to walk out of
here anyway, right?
[18:42] L
Got it.
[18:51] L
So, in forty minutes, past the
Valley of the Butterflies,
[18:55] ---
a discussion will begin between
the Sylphs and the Cait Sith.
[18:58] K
I see.
[18:59] K
Can I ask some questions?
[19:00] L
Go ahead.
[19:01] K
How do the Salamanders
benefit from attacking
[19:04] ---
the Sylphs and the Cait Sith?
[19:07] L
First, they can stop the alliance.
[19:10] L
If an information leak on the
Sylph side kills their leader,
[19:13] ---
wouldn't the Cait Sith be very upset?
[19:15] K
Yeah.
[19:17] L
It's also possible there could be war
[19:19] ---
between the Cait Sith and the Sylphs.
[19:21] L
And if you take out a territory leader,
[19:23] ---
you get thirty percent of the territory's money,
[19:26] ---
and you can invade its town for ten days
and levy whatever tax you want.
[19:30] K
You can do that?
[19:33] L
So, Kirito-kun,
[19:35] ---
this is a Sylph problem.
[19:38] L
There's no reason you need to help.
[19:42] L
If we go to the meeting,
we probably won't get out alive.
[19:45] L
We'll have to start at Sylvein again.
[19:49] L
No, it's even possible...
[19:52] L
That if you want to reach the
top of the World Tree,
[19:54] ---
you'd be better off working
with the Salamanders.
[20:00] L
If they pull this off,
[20:02] ---
they'll be perfectly positioned to make
an attempt up the World Tree.
[20:06] L
Since you're a Spriggan,
[20:07] ---
they might hire you as a mercenary.
[20:10] L
So even if you kill me here,
[20:14] L
I won't complain.
[20:18] K
In the end,
[20:19] K
it's just a game, so do what you want.
[20:22] K
If you want to kill someone, kill them.
[20:24] K
If you want to steal, you steal.
[20:28] K
I've met more people who think
that way than I'd want.
[20:31] K
In a way, it's true.
[20:34] K
I used to think the same way.
[20:38] K
But it's not true...
[20:40] K
There are things you have to protect
[20:42] ---
especially because it's a virtual world.
[20:44] K
I learned that from someone important.
[20:48] K
If you give in to your impulses in this world,
[20:51] K
the price is that it changes your
personality in the real world.
[20:54] K
The player and the character
are one and the same.
[20:58] K
I like you, Leafa.
[21:01] K
I want to be your friend.
[21:03] K
I'd never attack someone like that
[21:10] K
just for my own benefit.
[21:15] L
Kirito-kun...
[21:23] L
Thank you.
[21:25] K
Sorry, that sounded really arrogant, right?
[21:27] K
It's a bad habit...
[21:29] L
No, I was happy.

[04:37] S
is that our fates depend on him.
[04:41] Sa
What is going on?
[04:43] K
I want to talk to your commander!
[04:54] E
What's a Spriggan doing here?
[05:01] E
I'm going to kill you,
regardless of your answer.
[05:04] ---
But in honor of your bravery,
I will speak to you first.
[05:07] K
My name is Kirito.
[05:09] K
I'm an ambassador for the
Spriggan-Undine alliance.
[05:11] K
If you attack this meeting,
[05:13] ---
I can assume you desire a full-scale
war with all four races, correct?
[05:23] E
An Undine-Spriggan alliance?
[05:26] E
And you, without a single guard,
are their ambassador?
[05:30] K
Yes, that's right.
[05:31] K
I'm merely here to negotiate trade
terms with the Sylphs and Cait Sith.
[05:36] K
But if the talks are disrupted,
it will be much worse.
[05:40] K
The four races will ally
against the Salamanders.
[05:46] E
You're all alone, wearing horrible gear.
[05:50] E
You can't expect me to believe you.
[05:55] E
If you can withstand my
assault for thirty seconds,
[05:58] ---
I will believe you are an ambassador.
[06:01] K
That's generous of you...
[06:03] Sa
This is bad.
[06:05] Sa
The Salamander's two-handed sword...
[06:08] Sa
It's the Demonic Sword Gram.
[06:09] Sa
I've heard you need a two-handed
sword skill of 950 to equip it.
[06:13] S
O-Of 950?!
[06:15] Sa
Yes.
[06:16] Sa
If he's using it, he must be General Eugene.
[06:20] Sa
Do you know him?
[06:21] S
I-I know the name.
[06:23] Sa
The younger brother of the
Salamander leader, Mortimer.
[06:26] Sa
I've heard they're brothers in real life.
[06:28] Sa
The elder is a brilliant strategist.
The younger, a valiant warrior.
[06:31] Sa
In terms of sheer power, he's said
to be the game's strongest player!
[06:36] S
The game's strongest player...
[06:40] S
Kirito-kun...
[06:59] S
What was that?
[07:01] L
The Demonic Sword Gram has a bonus skill,
[07:03] L
Ethereal Shift, letting it phase
[07:05] L
when someone tries to block
with a shield or sword.
[07:09] Sa
That's insane!
[07:13] E
I'm amazed you're still alive.
[07:15] K
What was that attack?
[07:31] K
That hurts...
[07:33] K
Hey, it's been thirty seconds by now.
[07:35] E
Sorry, but I've decided to kill you.
[07:39] E
Now you have to survive until I kill you.
[07:41] K
Damn it...
[07:43] K
I'll show you!
[07:48] Sa
This will be tough.
[07:49] Sa
They're equally skilled,
[07:52] Sa
but Eugene's weapon is far superior.
[07:54] S
Even so...
[07:57] S
Even so, Kirito-kun will...
[08:25] S
What?!
[08:27] K
I'm going to borrow this.
[08:30] S
K-Kirito-kun?
[08:35] E
Was that meant to buy you time?
[08:44] L
He's gone?
[08:46] Guy
Did he run away?
[08:48] S
Of course not!
[08:52] K
While I'm alive, I won't let
any party members die.
[09:01] S
Kirito-kun would never run.
[09:13] S
Kirito-kun!
[09:40] E
Die!
[10:20] Sa
Splendid! Simply splendid!
[10:22] L
Wow, nice fight!
[10:24] Guys
Hurrah!
[10:27] Guys
That was good.
[10:28] Guys
Seriously.
[11:07] E
You are an excellent fighter.
[11:10] E
The best I have ever seen.
[11:13] K
Thanks.
[11:15] E
I had no idea there was someone
like you among the Spriggans.
[11:18] E
The world is a bigger place
than I'd thought.
[11:21] K
Will you believe me, then?
[11:34] Ka
Gene-san, a word?
[11:36] E
Kagemune?
[11:37] E
What is it?
[11:38] S
Oh, from yesterday.
[11:40] Ka
I'd prefer not to fight you
one-on-one, either.
[11:45] Ka
You know that my party was
wiped out yesterday, right?
[11:49] E
Yes.
[11:50] Ka
This is the Spriggan who did it.
[11:54] Ka
There was indeed an Undine with him.
[12:02] E
Very well.
[12:04] Ka
Then I suppose I must believe it.
[12:07] Ka
It's true that neither I nor our leader
[12:10] ---
intends to fight the Undines and Spriggans.
[12:14] Ka
We'll withdraw for now.
[12:16] Ka
But someday, I'll fight you again.
[12:18] K
Sounds good to me.
[12:25] K
I guess some of the
Salamanders aren't that bad.
[12:28] S
You're insane, you know that?
[12:31] K
I get that a lot.
[12:35] Sa
Excuse me,
[12:36] Sa
but could you explain what's happening?
[12:41] Sa
I see.
[12:43] Sa
I did sense some degree of
irritation in Sigurd's attitude.
[12:48] S
Irritation?
[12:50] S
At what?
[12:52] Sa
He probably wasn't able to accept that,
[12:55] ---
in terms of power, we were falling
behind the Salamanders.
[13:01] Sa
Sigurd is a man to whom
power is very important.
[13:04] Sa
Not just for his character
stats and abilities...
[13:07] ---
He desired power as a player, as well.
[13:11] S
But even so, why would he
spy for the Salamanders?
[13:15] Sa
You've heard about the 5.0 patch
they'll be releasing soon?
[13:20] Sa
Apparently, they're finally putting
in a reincarnation system.
[13:24] S
Then...
[13:25] Sa
Mortimer put him up to it.
[13:28] Sa
Bring us the head of your leader,
[13:30] ---
and we'll allow you to
reincarnate as a Salamander.
[13:33] S
So what will you do, Sakuya?
[13:41] Sa
Lu, you've raised your
dark magic skill, right?
[13:44] L
Yes.
[13:45] Sa
Open a Moonlight Mirror to Sigurd.
[13:56] Sa
Sigurd.
[13:58] Si
S-Sakuya?
[13:59] Sa
Indeed.
[14:01] Sa
Unfortunately, I'm still alive.
[14:03] Si
Why?
[14:03] Si
I mean, what happened at the meeting?
[14:06] Sa
It concluded successfully.
[14:08] Sa
We must still sign the treaty, though.
[14:12] Sa
Oh, right...
[14:13] Sa
We had an unexpected guest.
[14:15] Si
A g-guest?
[14:17] Sa
General Eugene sends his regards.
[14:24] Si
Leafa...
[14:25] Si
So that's it!
[14:26] Si
Those incompetent lizards.
[14:30] Si
Well?
[14:31] Si
What will you do, Sakuya?
[14:33] Si
Fine me?
[14:34] Si
Kick me out of the government?
[14:37] Si
But without me running the military,
[14:40] ---
how long will your rule last?
[14:42] Sa
No, if you cannot stand being a Sylph,
[14:45] ---
I thought I would grant your request.
[14:48] Si
Wh-What?
[14:53] Si
Are you insane?!
SIGN Your leader has stripped you of
your rights as a Sylph, and banished
you from your territory.
[14:56] Si
Me? You're banishing me?
[14:59] Sa
That's right.
[15:00] Sa
You can wander the neutral
territory as a renegade.
[15:03] Sa
Hopefully, you will find something
new there to occupy your time.
[15:09] Si
Curse you...
[15:25] S
Sakuya?
[15:26] Sa
I thank you, Leafa.
[15:28] Sa
I'm very happy you came to save me.
[15:31] S
I didn't do anything.
[15:33] S
You should thank Kirito-kun.
[15:36] Sa
That's true.
[15:37] Sa
Just who are you?
[15:39] L
Hey, what you were saying about being
a Spriggan-Undine ambassador...
[15:44] ---
Is that true?
[15:51] K
Oh, that was just a big lie.
[15:53] K
A bluff, a con, negotiation.
[15:56] Sa
You're crazy.
[15:58] Sa
I can't believe you came up with
that on the spur of the moment.
[16:01] K
Whenever I have a bad hand,
I always raise the pot.
[16:06] L
For a big liar, you're pretty strong.
[16:09] L
Maybe you're the Spriggans' secret weapon?
[16:13] K
Of course not.
[16:14] K
I'm just a wandering mercenary.
[16:21] L
If you aren't tied down anywhere,
[16:22] ---
why not be a mercenary for the Cait Sith?
[16:25] L
You'll get three meals a day,
plus snacks and a nap.
[16:29] Sa
Kirito-kun, was it?
[16:31] Sa
How about you join me for a
drink after this in Sylvein?
[16:34] Sa
I'd like to get to know you a little better.
[16:37] S
Wait...
[16:38] L
That's not fair, Sakuya-chan!
[16:42] L
You shouldn't try to seduce him.
[16:44] Sa
You, too...
[16:46] Sa
You're clinging to him too much.
[16:52] S
Stop it.
[16:53] S
Kirito-kun is my...
[16:57] S
My...
[17:02] S
Um, m-my...
[17:11] K
I appreciate the offers.
[17:13] ---
But I'm sorry.
[17:15] ---
She promised to take me
to the World Tree.
[17:21] Sa
Oh, that's a shame.
[17:23] Sa
You're going to Arun, Leafa?
[17:25] Sa
Sightseeing?
[17:27] Sa
Or...
[17:28] S
I was planning to leave the Sylphs...
[17:32] ---
But now I'm going to return to Sylvein,
[17:35] ---
although I'm not sure when.
[17:37] Sa
Understood. I'm glad to hear it.
[17:39] Sa
Make sure you come back.
[17:41] Sa
Bring him with you.
[17:42] L
Stop at my place on the way back.
[17:44] L
We'll throw you a party.
[17:50] Sa
Thank you so much for coming today,
[17:52] Sa
Leafa and Kirito-kun.
[17:55] Sa
Had we fallen today,
[17:57] ---
we'd never have caught
up to the Salamanders.
[18:00] Sa
I'd like to thank you somehow.
[18:02] K
No, it was nothing.
[18:04] S
Hey, Sakuya... Alicia-san.
[18:06] S
Wasn't the goal of this alliance
to venture up the World Tree?

[18:10] Sa
Yes, eventually.
[18:13] S
I'd like you to let us come with you.
[18:17] S
And as soon as possible!
[18:23] Sa
I have no objection.
[18:25] Sa
Actually, we'd be quite grateful.
[18:28] Sa
But why are you in such a hurry?
[18:34] K
I came to this world to reach
the top of the World Tree,
[18:39] ---
in order to meet someone
who may be there.
[18:43] Sa
The Fairy King Oberon?
[18:46] K
No...
[18:47] K
I don't think so.
[18:49] K
It's someone I can't reach in the real world,
[18:53] K
but I have to see, no matter what.
[18:55] L
However, it will probably
take time to prepare
[18:59] ---
all the raid members' equipment.
[19:01] L
More than just a day or two...
[19:04] K
I see...
[19:06] K
Yeah, you're right.
[19:07] K
For now, I just want to reach
the base of the tree,
[19:12] K
and we'll work out the rest ourselves.
[19:14] K
Oh, right.
[19:17] K
Could you use this to increase
your war chest?
[19:26] L
S-Sakuya-chan! Look!
[19:31] Sa
All these 100,000 Yuld mithril pieces!
[19:34] Sa
Are you certain about this?
[19:36] Sa
With this money, you could build
a castle on prime land.
[19:38] K
I don't mind.
[19:39] K
I don't need it anymore.
[19:41] L
This will get us really close
to the amount we need.
[19:45] Sa
We'll ready our equipment
as quickly as we can.
[19:48] Sa
And when we're set, we'll call you.
[19:50] K
Thank you.
[19:55] L
Thanks!
[19:56] L
See you soon!
[20:03] S

[12:17] A
He was letting me look around.
[12:19] A
I'm leaving now.
[12:21] Tentacles
No one notified me about this.
[12:24] Tentacles
What about you?
[12:26] Tentacles
Nothing.
[12:27] Tentacles
He wouldn't want outsiders seeing this anyway.
[12:32] Tentacles
Wait a second.
[12:34] Tentacles
You're that girl
[12:35] ---
Sugou-chan keeps at the
top of the World Tree.
[12:39] Tentacles
I've heard about that.
[12:42] Tentacles
It's so unfair that the boss
[12:45] ---
gets to have all the fun with the cute girl.
[12:49] Tentacles
Come on, keep still.
[12:52] A
Stop it!
[12:52] A
Let me go, monster!
[12:54] Tentacles
That's so mean...
[12:56] Tentacles
We're in the midst of an experiment
on deep-sense mapping.
[13:00] A
You're scientists, aren't you?
[13:02] A
You aren't ashamed,
[13:04] ---
participating in this illegal,
unethical experiment?
[13:10] Tentacles
I think it's more ethical
[13:12] Tentacles
than sticking electrical probes
into an exposed animal brain.
[13:15] Tentacles
They're all just dreaming.
[13:19] Tentacles
That's right.
[13:21] Tentacles
Sometimes, we show them
the most wonderful dreams.
[13:25] Tentacles
I wish I could have them.
[13:29] A
You're insane.
[13:31] Tentacles
The boss is on a trip, right?
[13:33] Tentacles
Get back to the other side,
and see what he wants us to do.
[13:36] Tentacles
Fine...
[13:38] Tentacles
Hey, don't have any fun while I'm gone.
[13:41] Tentacles
Got it, got it.
[13:43] Tentacles
Get going.
[13:50] A
Release me!
[13:51] A
Let me go!
[13:52] A
Let me out!
[13:53] Tentacles
I can't!
[13:54] Tentacles
The boss would kill me!
[13:56] Tentacles
Just forget it.
[13:58] Tentacles
Why don't we enjoy some electro-drugs?
[14:00] Tentacles
I'm sick of dolls.
[14:08] A
Stop it!
[14:10] A
What are you doing?
[14:13] A
Stop...
[14:24] Tentacles
Stop!
[14:25] Tentacles
Fine! Fine...
[14:29] Tentacles
I forgot I turned off the pain observer.
[14:33] Tentacles
What are you doing?
[14:35] Tentacles
Nothing.
[14:37] Tentacles
What did the boss say?
[14:39] Tentacles
He was pissed.
[14:41] Tentacles
He said to return her to the birdcage
above the lab, change the pass,
[14:45] ---
and keep an eye on her 24/7.
[14:47] Tentacles
And I was just about to have some fun...
[14:51] Tentacles
Let's at least walk her back
instead of teleporting her.
[14:54] Tentacles
I want to enjoy this feeling a little more.
[14:57] Tentacles
You're having fun, aren't you?
[15:02] Tentacles
Come on, no more struggling.
[15:07] Tentacles
Stay put.
[15:07] A
I said release me!
[15:10] S
She's so pretty.
[15:12] S
It's a shame that she's still asleep.
[15:19] S
Maybe I shouldn't have come.
[15:23] S
I don't know how I feel.
[15:28] S
I thought if I met Asuna-san, I'd know.
[15:32] S
However,
[15:34] S
do I want to be a good sister?
[15:40] S
Or do I...
[16:00] S
Brother.
[16:08] Tentacles
Bye.
[16:09] Tentacles
Let's play again if we have the chance.
[16:18] A
I won't lose, Kirito-kun.
[16:22] A
I will never give up.
[16:24] A
I will escape this place!

I have a broken heart...
[17:06] S
I'm sorry,
[17:08] S
saying all this to someone I just met.
[17:11] S
It's against etiquette to bring
real world problems here.
[17:17] K
Whether here or in the real world,
you can cry when it hurts.
[17:22] K
There's no rule
[17:23] ---
that you can't show feelings
just because it's a game.
[17:27] S
Kirito-kun...
[17:33] S
I'm in love with my brother.
[17:36] S
But I can't share those feelings.
[17:42] S
I have to bury them deep in my heart.
[17:46] S
So that I can forget them someday.
[17:59] S
I'm okay.
[18:01] S
Thanks, Kirito-kun.
[18:05] S
You're nice, you know?
[18:07] K
People often say the exact
opposite about me.
[18:11] K
Want to log off for today?
[18:13] K
I think I can make it the
rest of the way myself.
[18:16] S
No...
[18:17] S
I've come this far.
[18:19] S
I'll go the rest of the way.
[18:24] S
Now, let's go.
[18:33] K
Yui, you here?
[18:39] K
Good morning, Daddy and Leafa-san.
[18:42] S
Morning, Yui-chan.
[18:44] S
Hey, I was wondering yesterday...
[18:47] S
Do Navi-Pixies sleep at night?
[18:50] Y
Of course not.
[18:51] Y
But when Daddy's not here,
[18:53] ---
I shut down my input circuits,
and process accumulated data.
[18:57] Y
It could be similar to human sleep.
[19:01] S
But you just yawned...
[19:03] Y
That's what humans do during
their boot-up sequence, right?
[19:07] Y
On average, Daddy's last for eight seconds.
[19:10] K
You don't have to be strange.
[19:14] K
Let's head out.
[19:15] S
Yeah.
[19:20] S
There are tons of people here.
[19:22] K
I guess it really is the center of ALfheim.
[19:25] S
It seems that all the fairy races from
around the continent are here.
[19:51] K
That's the World Tree.
[19:57] S
Yeah.
[19:58] S
Seeing it up close, it's amazing.
[20:02] K
Isn't there a city up there?
[20:06] K
And also...
[20:07] S
The Fairy King Oberon lives there
with the light fairies, the Alf.
[20:12] S
And they say the first race to meet
with the king will become Alfs.
[20:17] K
You can't climb up it?
[20:20] S
The area around the trunk is off-limits,
[20:24] ---
so you can't climb it.
[20:26] S
And your wings' flight limit would expire
[20:29] ---
long before you'd make it up.
[20:31] K
I heard that a bunch of people
[20:34] ---
passed the limit by launching
off each other's shoulders...
[20:37] S
Oh, you heard about that.
[20:39] S
They made it close to the branches.
[20:43] S
But the GMs freaked out and patched it.
[20:47] S
Now there's a wall just above the clouds.
[20:51] K
I see...
[20:53] K
Let's head to the trunk for now.
[20:56] S
Yeah, got it.
[21:17] S
Once you pass through that gate,
you're at the world's heart,
[21:20] S
the central district of Arun.

It's pointless to ask anyone

Poisoned them?
[05:37] R
And then, I followed you.
[05:39] R
Hey...
[05:40] R
Where's that Spriggan?
[05:44] S
Well...
[05:47] S
I said something really mean to him...
[05:50] S
Something I shouldn't have said.
[05:53] S
I'm an idiot.
[05:58] S
I'm sorry for saying weird stuff.
[06:03] S
I won't be seeing him anymore,
[06:05] ---
so let's go back to Sylvein.
[06:09] R
Leafa-chan...
[06:12] R
Leafa-chan!
[06:15] R
You can't cry, Leafa-chan!
[06:17] S
Wh-What?
[06:19] R
If you aren't smiling,
you aren't really Leafa-chan.
[06:22] R
I...
[06:23] R
I'll always stay with you!
[06:25] R
I'll never leave you alone,
here or in the real world!
[06:28] S
Wai—
[06:29] R
I-I...
[06:30] R
I like you, Leafa-chan... Suguha-chan!
[06:35] ---
Um...
[06:37] S
Wait! What are you doing?!
[06:45] S
A-Are you okay?
[06:50] R
It's strange...
[06:51] R
I was positive
[06:53] R
the only question left was if I'd
have the guts to ask you out...
[06:57] S
You really are a moron, aren't you?
[07:05] S
I could learn a thing or two
from you sometimes.
[07:30] K
Hey.
[07:31] S
Here I am.
[07:33] K
Sugu...
[07:36] K
Brother, let's have a duel.
[07:40] K
Let's finish what we started.
[07:48] S
This time, no handicaps.
[08:02] K
That's why he seemed so accomplished.
[08:07] K
Here I go!
[09:11] K
Why?
[09:12] S
Why?
[09:17] K
I wanted to apologize to you...
[09:21] ---
But I didn't know what to say.
[09:25] K
So I wanted to give you a free shot.
[09:29] S
You did?
[09:33] K
I'm sorry.
[09:38] S
I am, too.
[09:41] K
I haven't really returned
from that world yet.
[09:47] K
It hasn't ended.
[09:48] K
Until she wakes up,
[09:52] K
I'm not really back in reality.
[09:54] K
That's why
[09:56] K
I don't know how to think of you yet.
[10:03] S
I'll be waiting...
[10:05] S
I'll be waiting for you to
come home for real.
[10:10] S
So I'll help you, too!
[10:22] R
Um...
[10:24] R
Wh-What's going on?
[10:27] S
We're raiding the World Tree...
[10:29] S
Him, you, and me.
The three of us.
[10:34] R
A-All right...
[10:36] R
Wait...
[10:37] R
What?!
[10:38] K
Yui, are you here?
[10:43] Y
What is it, Daddy?
[10:45] K
Did you learn anything from our
fight with the guardians?
[10:48] Y
Their individual stats aren't very high.
[10:52] Y
But there are too many.
[10:53] Y
I have to assume that completion of this
quest was never meant to be possible.
[10:58] K
So together, they all add up
to a single, unbeatable boss?
[11:02] Y
However, with your skill stats,
[11:06] Y
it may be possible for you to
break through with speed.
[11:11] K
Everyone,
[11:12] K
I'm sorry to ask, but could you help
me with my problem again?
[11:18] K
Somehow,
[11:19] K
I feel like there isn't much time left.
[11:24] S
I'll do whatever I can.
[11:27] S
And so will he.
[11:30] S
Well, Leafa-chan and I are always together.
[11:34] S
Don't be stupid!
[11:35] R
I'm sorry...
[11:38] S
Let's do our best.
[11:55] K
Thanks, you two.
[11:58] K
I'll draw the guardians away.
[12:00] K
If you can heal me from the rear,
you shouldn't be in danger.
[12:12] K
Let's go.
[12:55] R
Wow...
[12:56] S
But there are too many!
[13:21] K
There's no end to them...
[13:32] S
Recon!
[13:33] S
Right!
[13:42] R
Wh-Why are they targeting us?
[13:45] S
They're probably using a different targeting
algorithm from the monsters outside.
[13:50] S
Dividing our roles this way is futile.
[13:57] R
Wait!
[13:59] S
Recon?
[14:01] R
Leafa-chan, I don't really understand all this,
[14:04] ---
but this is important, right?
[14:09] S
It is.
[14:10] S
I don't think it's just a game.
[14:13] S
Not right now.
[14:17] R
Then, I'll help!
[14:22] ---
R-Recon...
[14:38] S
Y-You idiot!
[14:41] S
Oh, no...
[14:51] S
Recon, that's enough...
[14:53] S
Get outside!
[15:06] S
That's dark magic...
[15:28] S
Self-destruct magic?
[15:30] S
The death-penalty for that is really harsh...
[15:34] S
You're such a fool!
[15:58] S
No...
[16:06] S
No...
[16:07] S
This is impossible...
[16:10] S
This is just...
[16:35] K
The Sylphs?
[16:36] S
But why?
[16:43] K
Flying dragons?
[16:45] K
The Cait Sith dragoons?
[16:51] Sa
Sorry we're late.
[16:54] ThatCuteElfChick
Sorry!
[16:55] ThatCuteElfChick
It took some time to ready our gear.
[17:00] S
Sakuya! Alicia!
[17:06] TCEC
Dragoons, ready breath attack!
[17:10] Sa
Sylphs, prepare additional offensives!
[17:15] TCEC
Fire breath...
[17:17] TCEC
Go!
[17:26] Sa
Fenrir storm...
[17:28] Sa
Fire!
[17:36] S
Thank you!
[17:38] S
Thank you both so much!
[17:40] Sa
No need to thank us.
[17:41] Sa
We owe that Spriggan quite a lot.
[17:44] TCEC
And we only had money for
the raid because of him.
[17:55] Sa
All forces, charge!
[18:08] Sa
Don't be afraid!
[18:09] Sa
Keep going!
[18:30] K
Sugu...
[18:36] K
Watch my back!
[18:37] S
Leave it to me.
[18:51] Sa
Follow them!
[19:12] Sa
Brother!
[19:34] Sa
Go...
[19:36] Sa
Go, Brother.
[19:39] Sa
Go!
[20:00] Sa
Everyone, fall back!
[20:01] Sa
We're withdrawing!
[20:08] S
Fly...
[20:10] ---
Fly forever.
[20:13] S
Keep flying through the sky...
[20:18] S
To the center of the world.
[20:28] K
Damn it...
[20:30] K
What do I do with this?
[20:39] K
Yui!
[20:40] Y
Yes, Daddy?
[20:45] Y
Daddy, this door isn't
locked by a quest flag.
[20:50] Y
It's locked by the system administrators.
[20:54] K
What do you mean?
[20:55] S
Players were never intended
to be able to open this door!
[21:20] K
No, wait...
[21:22] K
Wasn't that...
[21:25] K
Yui, use this.
[21:39] K
Transcribing code.
[21:54] K
It's going to teleport us.
[21:55] K
Daddy, your hand!

Very close.

I'm sorry I'm late.

No, I knew...

I knew you'd come to save me.
[04:38] K
Now, let's go home.
[04:42] A
Yeah.
[04:44] ---
Yui, can you log out Asuna?
[04:48] A
Mommy's status is locked
down by complicated codes.
[04:52] A
We'll need a system console to dispel them.

I think I saw one in the lab.

What a surprise...
[05:40] Su
I didn't expect to see
[05:42] Su
a cockroach in my little bird's cage.
[05:45] K
You're...
[05:46] K
Sugou?
[05:50] Su
I'd prefer you not use that
name in this world.
[05:53] Su
Call me His Highness, Fairy King Oberon!
[05:59] A
Kirito-kun!
[06:01] A
Well?
[06:02] A
You can't move, can you?
[06:04] A
This is gravity magic,
coming out in the next patch.
[06:08] A
Maybe it's a little overpowered?
[06:10] A
Stop it...
[06:11] A
You coward!
[06:13] S
That said, Kirigaya-kun...
[06:15] S
Or do you prefer Kirito-kun?
[06:19] S
How did you get up here?
[06:22] S
I saw a strange program running.
[06:25] K
I flew with these wings...
[06:30] Su
It doesn't matter.
[06:32] Su
I can just ask your mind directly.
[06:36] K
What?
[06:37] Su
You didn't really think
[06:39] Su
I set this entire thing up for fun, did you?
[06:45] Su
Three hundred former SAO players...
[06:48] Su
Thanks to their cooperation,
[06:51] ---
the fundamental technology for
emotion and thought control
[06:54] ---
is already eighty percent complete.
[06:57] Su
I'll achieve what no one ever has,
control of the human soul!
[07:02] ---
The power of a god!
[07:03] Su
And soon, that power will be mine!
[07:06] Su
Three cheers for virtual reality!
[07:13] K
Sugou!
[07:15] A
You'll never get away with this.
[07:17] A
Never!
[07:19] Su
Who's going to stop me?
[07:22] Su
Sadly, there's no god in this world.
[07:25] Su
Except for me!
[07:28] Su
Now, before I begin altering your souls,
[07:32] ---
let's have a fun party!
[07:44] K
You bastard, what are you...
[08:05] Su
Yes!
[08:09] Su
Great! I love it!
[08:12] Su
NPC women can't make that face...
[08:21] Su
I love this smell.
[08:23] Su
Replicating your scent from
the real world was hard.
[08:28] Su
I hope you appreciate how much work it took
[08:31] ---
to get an analyzer into your hospital room...
[08:35] K
Stop it.
[08:37] K
Sugou...
[08:42] Su
My, my...
[08:44] Su
You need to stay on the ground...
[08:46] Su
Writhing!
[08:53] A
Kirito-kun!
[08:58] Su
System command!
[09:00] Su
Change pain absorber
[09:01] ---
from level 10 to level 8.
[09:08] Su
Hurts, doesn't it?
[09:09] Su
I'll gradually let the pain increase,
[09:11] ---
so you have something to look forward to.
[09:13] Su
Of course, below level 3,
[09:16] ---
it will start to affect your physical body.
[09:20] Su
Now, then...
[09:26] K
Stop it, Sugou...
[09:29] A
I'm okay, Kirito-kun.
[09:31] A
This won't hurt me.
[09:36] Su
That's what I hoped you'd say...
[09:38] Su
How long will you maintain your pride?
[09:40] Su
Thirty minutes? An hour?
[09:42] Su
Try to hold on to it as long as you can!
[10:03] Su
Shall I tell you what I'm thinking?
[10:08] Su
Once I've had my fun here,
[10:11] ---
I'll go to your hospital room.
[10:13] Su
I'll play a recording of today on a big monitor,
[10:17] ---
and we can enjoy ourselves.
[10:22] Su
With your real body.
[10:37] Su
S-Sweet...
[10:39] Su
So sweet!

Sugou, you bastard!
[10:44] K
You bastard!
[10:54] K
You bastard, I'll kill you!
[10:56] K
I'm going to kill you!
[11:12] K
Is this my punishment?
[11:16] K
For thinking that I was the
game's strongest hero?
[11:20] ---
That I could save Asuna alone?
[11:24] K
Even though
[11:26] K
I have no power at all...
[11:34] ?
Are you going to run away?
[11:38] ?
Are you going to run away?
[11:40] K
No...
[11:42] K
I'm going to accept reality.
[11:44] ?
Then you give in to it.
[11:45] ?
To the power of a system you once denied.
[11:49] K
I don't have a choice.
[11:51] K
I'm a player, and he's a GM.
[11:55] ?
Those words make a mockery of our battle.
[11:59] ?
Our fight showed me the
power of the human will.
[12:03] ---
And the possibilities held by the future.
[12:07] K
You're...
[12:11] ?
Stand up, Kirito-kun!
[12:27] K
Your attacks have no soul...
[12:30] K
The blades in that world hit harder...
[12:35] K
They hurt far more!
[12:44] Su
I guess some odd bugs are still left.
[12:51] K
System login...
[12:53] ---
ID Heathcliff.
[12:55] Su
Wh-What?
[12:57] Su
What is that ID?!
[12:59] K
System command.
[13:00] K
Enable administrator privileges.
[13:02] K
Set ID Oberon to level 1.
[13:07] Su
Your ID outranks mine?
[13:09] Su
That's impossible!
[13:11] Su
I am the ruler!
[13:12] Su
The creator!
[13:13] Su
King of this world!
[13:15] Su
Its God!
[13:16] K
No, you're not.
[13:18] K
You stole this world...
[13:21] K
And its people.
[13:22] K
You're a king of thieves,
[13:24] K
alone upon a stolen throne!
[13:27] Su
Y-You stupid kid...
[13:29] Su
How dare you
[13:30] Su
talk to me like that?!
[13:33] K
System command!
[13:35] K
Generate object ID Excalibur.
[13:40] K
Listen to me,

you piece of crap!

These...
[13:44] K
These are God's orders!
[13:46] A
Just wait a little more, okay?
[13:49] A
This won't take long.
[13:54] A
System command!
[13:56] A
Generate object ID Excalibur!
[14:01] A
So, a single command is all it takes
to summon a legendary weapon?
[14:14] A
It's time to finish this fight.
[14:16] A
Between the king of thieves
[14:18] A
and a gilded hero!
[14:21] ---
System command.
[14:22] ---
Set pain absorber to level 0.
[14:26] Su
Wh-What?
[14:27] K
Don't run away.
[14:29] K
He never did, no matter what happened!
[14:33] K
Not Kayaba Akihiko!
[14:35] Su
K-Kaya...
[14:37] Su
Kayaba!
[14:39] Su
I see...
[14:40] Su
That ID was...
[14:42] Su
Why?
[14:43] Su
Why do you interfere with me,
even after death?!
[14:47] Su
You're always this way!
[14:48] Su
Thinking you know everything!
[14:51] Su
Taking everything I want!
[14:53] K
Sugou...
[14:54] K
I understand how you feel a little bit.
[14:57] K
I also lost to him,
[14:58] K
and then I had to work for him.
[15:01] K
However, I never wanted to be him.
[15:06] K
Unlike you...
[15:08] Su
You stupid kid!
[15:19] Su
Damn it all!
[15:24] Su
That hurt!
[15:27] K
Painful, isn't it?
[15:30] K
But you've hurt Asuna
[15:32] K
far more!
[15:40] Su
My hand!
[15:42] Su
My hand!
[16:35] K
I believed in you.
[16:38] K
No, I still do.
[16:40] K
I always have and always will.
[16:42] K
That you're my hero.
[16:44] K
That you'll always save me.
[16:48] K
That isn't true.
[16:49] K
I...
[16:51] K
I don't have any power at all.
[16:57] K
But I'll do my best to be that way.
[17:01] A
Yeah.
[17:04] K
Now, let's go home.
[17:09] K
It's probably night at home.
[17:12] K
But I'll go to your room soon.
[17:15] A
I'll be waiting.
[17:17] A
You're the first person I want to see.
[17:23] A
It's finally over, isn't it?
[17:25] A
We can return to the real world.
SIGN Logging out will terminate all services.
[17:29] K
That's right.
[17:31] K
You'll be surprised how much has changed.
[17:35] A
Let's go to all kinds of places,
[17:37] A
and do all kinds of things.
[17:39] K
Yeah, we will.
[18:09] K
Everything is over now.
[18:13] K
Isn't it?
[18:16] K
You're there, aren't you, Heathcliff?
[18:20] H
It's been a long time, Kirito-kun.
[18:23] K
You're alive?
[18:25] H
You could say that,
[18:26] H
or you could say I'm not.
[18:28] H
I am an echo of the mind
that was Kayaba Akihiko.
[18:33] H
An afterimage.
[18:34] K
You never did make much sense.
[18:38] K
Well, I guess I'll thank you.
[18:41] H
No need for thanks.
[18:42] K
Why?
[18:43] H
We aren't so close that we'd
do anything for free.
[18:48] H
There is a price.
[18:50] H
Always.
[18:50] K
What do you want me to do?
[19:02] K
What's this?
[19:03] K
The beginning of a world.
[19:05] K
It's called The Seed.
[19:08] K
Once it buds, you'll understand what it is.
[19:11] K
I'll leave what to do then up to you.
[19:13] K
You can delete and completely forget it.
[19:16] K
However,
[19:17] K
if you have any feelings left for
that world besides hatred...
[19:25] K
I'll be going, then.
[19:27] K
I hope we meet again, Kirito-kun.
[19:37] K
Yui!
[19:38] K
Are you okay, Yui?
[19:40] Y
Daddy!
[19:42] K
You're safe!

Okay, Daddy!

That was a horrible thing you did, Kirito-kun.

I can still feel the pain.

Sugou, you're finished...
[01:19] K
Turn yourself in, and stand trial.

What's finished?

There are plenty of companies

Hey, stand up.

Stand up!

Slowing me down!

Naturally, the punishment for that is death.
[02:05] Su
Nothing but death will be acceptable!
[02:15] Su
Huh?
[02:16] Su
My right eye is all foggy...
[02:18] Su

Tired and hungry...

You sound like an old man, Kirito-kun.
[07:13] K
Over the past month, I feel
like I've aged five years.
[07:18] K
Also, it isn't Kirito. It's Kazuto.
[07:22] K
Using your character's name
here is bad manners.
[07:25] A
That's right! I forgot...
[07:27] A
What about me, then?
[07:29] A
Everyone will know!
[07:31] K
It's because you used your real
name for your character.
[07:34] K
Well,
[07:35] K
everyone at this school was an SAO player.
[07:39] K
I think they know me, too.

Asuna...
[07:46] K
How are you doing?
[07:48] K
You're still in rehab, right?
[07:50] A
Yeah.

I can finally walk without a cane.

But they say I still shouldn't run.
[07:57] K
Oh.
[07:59] A
By the way, Kirito-kun...

Didn't you realize this place is

Ah! Sorry...

By the way, is your father doing well?
[08:30] A
Yeah, but for a while, he was pretty down.
[08:34] A
He resigned as CEO, and he's basically retired.
[08:37] A
So he's not sure what to do with himself now.
[08:40] A
He'll find a hobby soon and cheer up.

[08:48] K
That snowy day,
[08:50] ---
Sugou was arrested in the
hospital parking lot.
[08:54] K
Following his arrest, he denied everything,
[08:57] ---
trying to pin all the blame on Kayaba Akihiko.
[09:01] K
But once an employee was
brought in for questioning,
[09:05] K
he confessed to everything.
[09:08] K
Fortunately, the three hundred
players who hadn't escaped SAO
[09:11] ---
had no memory of the
experiments performed on them.

And no one developed
any neurological problems.

able to return to society.

Hey, come to think of it,

what happened to the Commander?
[09:57] K
Kayaba died.
[10:00] K
They say it was suicide.
[10:01] A
Suicide?
[10:02] K
When SAO collapsed,
[10:05] ---
he performed a high-output scan on himself.
[10:08] A
Does that mean he copied
his consciousness onto the internet?
[10:13] K
I heard his chances of success were
fewer than one in a thousand.
[10:17] K
But back then,
[10:20] K
I spoke with his consciousness.

[13:53] Kl
Hey, I've been reading the new MMO Today.
[13:56] Si
Oh, how embarrassing.
[13:58] Si
There isn't much content yet.
[14:00] Si
And the way things are for MMOs now,
[14:03] ---
walkthrough info doesn't mean so much.
[14:07] K
It's like the chaos when the universe was born.
[14:11] K
Agil, how has the seed been?
[14:15] Eg
Amazing.
[14:17] Eg
There are around fifty mirror servers.
[14:19] Eg
A hundred thousand downloads.
[14:22] Eg
And three hundred major
servers that actually run it.
[14:27] K
After I saved Asuna,
[14:29] ---
I took the World Seed Kayaba
had given me to Agil,
[14:33] ---
and I asked him to analyze it.
[14:36] K
I learned that the World Seed
was a program package
[14:40] ---
that ran a full-dive MMO called The Seed,
[14:44] ---
made by Kayaba.
[14:47] K
In essence, anyone with access
to a good enough server
[14:51] ---
could download The Seed and
create their own online world.
[14:57] K
I asked Agil to upload it to
servers across the world
[15:01] ---
for anyone to use.
[15:06] K
This revived the dying Virtual MMO genre.
[15:12] K
ALfheim Online's data was all transferred
[15:16] ---
to a new company, which still runs it.
[15:19] K
But ALfheim wasn't the only world born.
[15:24] K
Smaller companies, and even
private individuals, began to
[15:29] ---
run their own virtual game servers.
[15:33] K
They began to be compatible with one another.
[15:36] ---
And it's reaching the point where a character
[15:39] ---
created in one game can
be transferred to another.
[15:45] K
Hey, we're still going to the same
place for the after-party, right?
[15:48] Eg
Yeah, at eleven tonight.

[17:02] Su
Hey, Bro... Kirito-kun.
[17:05] Su
ALO has a new company running it,
[17:08] ---
and you can use your SAO avatars now.
[17:12] Su
Why didn't you go back to your
