[00:34] Selka
    Sister!
[00:38] Selka
    Good morning, Sister!
[00:40] Alice
    Selka.
[00:44] Alice
    Welcome, Selka.
[00:46] Alice
    What brings you here today?
[00:48] Selka
    Since it's so nice out,
    I wanted to go to the eastern hill.
[00:52] Selka
    And Kirito can come too, right?
[01:00] Alice
    It's such a lovely day.
[01:02] Alice
    It'd be a shame for him to spend it inside.
[01:07] Alice
    Shall we go, Kirito?
SIGN    In the Far North
[02:53] Alice
    All right.
[02:54] Alice
    Let's get going.
[03:03] Alice
    I'm sorry. I'll get them for you right away.
[03:34] Alice
    Hold on tight so you don't drop them, all right?
[03:43] Alice
    You don't think he'll be cold?
[03:46] Selka
    Really. You're such a worrywart.
[03:49] Selka
    You've piled enough clothes on him
    to make him sweat.
[03:52] Selka
    Right, Kirito?
[03:59] Selka
    Eugeo, you think so, too, right?
[04:19] Alice
    It's beautiful.
[04:20] Alice
    Far more beautiful than any painting
    on the Cathedral's walls.
[04:25] Alice
    It’s the world you saved, Kirito.
[04:30] Higa
    This is bad, Mr. Kiku!
[04:32] Higa
    If they sever the main power line,
    it'll cause a surge!
[04:36] Higa
    The Lightcube Cluster is protected, but...
[04:38] Higa
    the surge will hit Kirigaya's STL in Subcon!
[04:42] Higa
    His Fluctlight will get fried!
[04:45] Kikukoka
    I'll handle the lockdown procedure!
[04:48] Kikukoka
    Higa, you take Dr. Kojiro and Asuna
    and evacuate to the Upper Shaft.
[04:52] Kikukoka
    Keep Kirito safe.
[04:53] Kirito
    Asuna?
[04:55] Alice
    Kirito.
[04:56] Officer
    It's no good, they're cutting the power!
    The screw propellers are going to stop!
[05:13] Alice
    Kirito!
[05:16] Alice
    Kirito!
[05:17] Alice
    Kirito!
[05:19] Alice
    You've saved my life,
    so now you must see things through!
[05:22] Alice
    Kirito!
[05:27] Alice
    Kirito.
[05:30] Bercouli
    Little one.
[05:32] Alice
    Uncle.
[05:35] Bercouli
    What happened?
[05:38] Bercouli
    This is the gravest emergency
    since the Axiom Church was founded.
[05:42] Bercouli
    The pontifex was defeated by two elite disciples
    and has left the Human Empire.
[05:47] Fanatio
    What did you say?
[05:48] Eldrie
    How... How is that possible?
[05:51] Bercouli
    And that's not all.
[05:53] Bercouli
    Prime Senator Chudelkin has also been killed,
    and the Senate has ceased to function.
[05:59] Eldrie
    Why did those disciples tempt the wrath of the gods
    by doing such a thing?
[06:04] Bercouli
    Because the pontifex was pursuing a horrific plan
    to convert half of the population
[06:09] Bercouli
    into monstrous, sword-shaped weapons.
[06:11] Eldrie
    Her Eminence the pontifex
    had such a heinous scheme in motion?
[06:17] Deusolbert
    Unbelievable.
[06:18] Eldrie
    Sir Bercouli, where are the two
    who murdered Her Eminence?
[06:23] Eldrie
    They must be captured and interrogated!
[06:26] Bercouli
    There's no time to deal with them right now.
[06:28] Bercouli
    What do you think will happen
    when the Dark Territory finds out the pontifex is gone?
[06:34] Bercouli
    Not to mention, the earlier battles
    with those swordsmen and the Dark Territory
[06:38] Bercouli
    have halved the Integrity Knights' ranks.
[06:41] Bercouli
    If we were to be attacked
    by the Dark Territory in this state,
[06:44] Bercouli
    we couldn't defend against them on our own.
[06:47] Fanatio
    Then what should we do?
[06:50] Bercouli
    First, we're going to restore the decimated
    Order of the Integrity Knights.
[06:53] Bercouli
    Next, we'll rebuild the Imperial Knights
    of the four empires.
[06:57] Bercouli
    They'll need to be retrained.
    Since there's not nearly enough Integrity Knights.
[07:03] Bercouli
    I'm sure some of you are unhappy about this,
[07:06] Bercouli
    but right now,
    saving the people is our top priority.
[07:08] Bercouli
    I ask that you lend me your strength.
[07:11] All
    Sir!
SIGN    June 9, 380 HE
[07:36] Alice
    Kirito... I wonder if he's hungry.
[07:40] Priest A
    Hey, is it true
    that the rebel swordsman is still alive?
[07:45] Priest B
    Yeah. But I hear he's in a coma.
[07:48] Priest A
    It's important that we prepare
    for the Dark Territory's invasion,
[07:51] Priest A
    but shouldn't we execute the rebel
    who defied the Axiom Church?
[07:56] Priest B
    What is Knight Commander Bercouli thinking?
[08:02] Alice
    It's not safe for Kirito here.
[08:23] Alice
    Let's go to Rulid Village.
[08:26] Alice
    Since it's where Eugeo and I were born,
[08:28] Alice
    they might accept us there.
[08:48] Zink
    Hold on!
[08:49] Zink
    Strangers aren't allowed to enter our village!
[08:59] Zink
    This is...
[09:02] Zink
    You... You can't be...
[09:05] Alice
    I am Alice. I'd like you to summon
    the village elder, Gasuft Zuberg.
[09:28] Gasuft
    Alice.
[09:30] Gasuft
    Is that you?
[09:33] Alice
    Yes.
[09:34] Gasuft
    Why are you here?
[09:36] Gasuft
    Have you been absolved of your crime?
[09:38] Alice
    As punishment for my crime,
[09:42] Alice
    I've lost all memory
    of having lived in this village.
[09:45] Alice
    Whether or not that means
    my crime has been absolved, I can't say.
[09:50] Alice
    But at this time,
    I have nowhere else to go but this village.
[09:59] Gasuft
    Begone.
[10:01] Gasuft
    We can't allow a criminal to live here.
[10:14] Selka
    Sister?
[10:19] Alice
    It's nothing. Shall we head back?
[10:24] Selka
    Okay.
[10:40] Alice
    What's the matter, Selka?
[10:42] Alice
    Is something troubling you?
[10:45] Selka
    Well, you see, Mr. Barbossa wants to ask you
[10:50] Selka
    to help remove another tree from that clearing.
[10:53] Alice
    What, is that all?
[10:56] Alice
    You don't have to be worried about that.
[10:58] Selka
    But...
[10:59] Selka
    those people are so selfish!
[11:02] Selka
    Mr. Barbossa and Mr. Ridack
    won't even let you live in the village,
[11:06] Selka
    but they don't hesitate to ask for your help
    when they're in trouble.
[11:13] Alice
    It's all right, Selka.
[11:15] Alice
    I'm just grateful that they're allowing us
    to live near the village.
[11:20] Selka
    Sister, I'll complete my training period next year,
[11:24] Selka
    and though it won't be much,
    I'll start earning a wage.
[11:27] Selka
    When that happens,
    you won't have to help those people anymore, okay?
[11:32] Selka
    You and Kirito... I'll... I'll always...
[11:38] Alice
    Thank you.
[11:40] Alice
    But just having you close by
    is enough to make me happy...
[11:46] Alice
    Selka.
[12:00] Barbossa
    Why is this taking so long?
[12:02] Barbossa
    While you've been wasting time here,
    Ridack's men
[12:05] Barbossa
    - have expanded his land 20 mels in all directions!
    - Hello, Mr. Barbossa.
[12:12] Barbossa
    Alice, so good of you to come!
[12:15] Alice
    I heard that you wished to see me.
[12:19] Barbossa
    Look. You can see it, can't you?
[12:21] Barbossa
    We've been toiling over that pesky platinum oak
    since yesterday morning.
[12:26] Barbossa
    Even with ten grown men hacking at it,
    they've hardly made a dent in it.
[12:31] Barbossa
    And so...
[12:32] Barbossa
    I know we have a once-a-month arrangement,
[12:35] Barbossa
    but I wonder if you could
    do me a favor just this once, Alice?
[12:41] Alice
    Very well, Mr. Barbossa.
[12:44] Alice
    If it's just this once.
[12:47] Barbossa
    I really owe you, Alice!
[13:11] Alice
    I'm sorry, Kirito.
[13:12] Alice
    I'd like to borrow your sword for a little bit.
[13:30] Alice
    Thank you.
[13:37] Villager A
    Hey now! You really think you can cut down
    a platinum oak with that flimsy sword?
[13:41] Villager B
    That sword's going to snap in two!
[13:57] Villager B
    What's that? Did she miss?
[14:02] Alice
    It's going to fall that direction.
[14:05] Villager B
    What are you—
[14:29] Barbossa
    Mag...
[14:30] Barbossa
    Magnif...
[14:31] Barbossa
    Magnificent!
[14:33] Barbossa
    What splendid skills you have!
    That was simply divine!
[14:37] Barbossa
    What do you say, Alice?
[14:39] Barbossa
    I'll double your fee,
    so instead of once a month,
[14:42] Barbossa
    could you help out once a week—
    no, make that once a day?
[14:46] Alice
    No.
[14:48] Alice
    The amount you're paying me now is sufficient.
[14:56] Alice
    My payment.
[14:59] Barbossa
    That's right, that's right!
[15:05] Alice
    Thank you very much.
[15:08] Alice
    Kirito!
[15:15] Villager C
    - What's this? It's really heavy!
    - No wonder even a woman like that
[15:17] Villager D
    can fell a platinum oak with one blow, right?
[15:20] Villager E
    Let me.
[15:32] Alice
    That sword belongs to Kirito.
[15:34] Alice
    Give it back to him at once.
[15:37] Villager E
    Look, we did ask that guy to lend us his sword!
[15:43] Villager C
    And he was generous enough to agree.
[15:46] Villager C
    Going, "Ah. Ah." You know?
[15:54] Villager E
    Fine then! No need to look so angry.
[16:20] Alice
    What in the world did we fight for,
    suffering such unbearable pain?
[16:29] Alice
    Eugeo lost his life.
[16:32] Alice
    Kirito lost the ability to speak and his emotions.
[16:35] Alice
    What did we go so far to protect?
[17:02] Alice
    Amayori.
[17:04] Alice
    You've gained a bit of weight.
[17:06] Alice
    You've been gorging on too many fish
    at the lake.
[17:17] Alice
    Good night, Amayori.
[17:35] Alice
    Here.
[17:43] Alice
    Take your time eating, all right?
[17:58] Alice
    Is that...?
[18:08] Alice
    Amayori's elder brother, Takiguri.
[18:12] Alice
    Which means...
[18:17] Alice
    I'm impressed you found this place.
    What do you want...
[18:22] Alice
    Eldrie Synthesis Thirty-One?
[18:25] Eldrie
    It's been quite a while...
[18:28] Eldrie
    my mentor, Lady Alice.
[18:33] Alice
    So how did you find this place?
[18:38] Alice
    I'm sure the Order can't afford to send dragons all over
    just to track me down.
[18:44] Eldrie
    I followed the bond between our souls,
    or so I'd like to say.
[18:51] Eldrie
    But unfortunately, it was a complete coincidence.
[18:54] Eldrie
    Recently, we've learned that goblins and orcs
    have been mobilizing in the north.
[19:01] Eldrie
    On the Knight Commander's orders,
    we've collapsed the caves to the north, south and west,
[19:06] Eldrie
    but I've come to make sure
    they don't try to dig them out again.
[19:12] Alice
    So were you able to determine
    the forces of darkness' actions?
[19:16] Eldrie
    I spent a full day
    patrolling the perimeters of the cave,
[19:20] Eldrie
    but I didn't spot a single goblin or orc.
[19:24] Eldrie
    The interior of the cave was filled
    with rocks to the ceiling.
[19:28] Eldrie
    Afterward, when I mounted to return to the capital,
    Takiguri began acting strangely.
[19:34] Eldrie
    When I allowed him to go where he wished,
    this is where we ended up landing.
[19:39] Eldrie
    Now that I've been reunited with you,
[19:43] Eldrie
    it is my obligation to say to you...
[19:46] Eldrie
    Lady Alice, please return to the Knights!
[19:49] Eldrie
    We need your sword more than we need
    an army of thousands!
[19:55] Alice
    I can't.
[19:56] Alice
    But why not?
[20:00] Eldrie
    Is it because of that man?
[20:02] Eldrie
    The man who broke out of the Cathedral prison
    and raised his treacherous blade
[20:06] Eldrie
    against so many knights and senators,
    not to mention the pontifex herself?
[20:11] Eldrie
    So he's still leading your heart astray?
[20:14] Eldrie
    If so, then I shall eliminate
    the source of that confusion
[20:18] Eldrie
    right here, this very instant!
[20:21] Alice
    Stop it.
[20:23] Alice
    He, too, fought out of a sense of personal justice.
[20:27] Alice
    Otherwise, how could we,
    the mighty Integrity Knights,
[20:31] Alice
    even the Knight Commander himself,
    have all been defeated, one after another?
[20:35] Alice
    You fought him yourself,
    so surely you sensed the weight of his sword!
[20:40] Eldrie
    If that's true, then why won't this man
    take up his sword in battle now?
[20:45] Eldrie
    Why would he allow himself
    to be reduced to such a pathetic state,
[20:48] Eldrie
    and shackle you, Lady Alice,
    to these hinterlands?
[20:52] Eldrie
    If it's true that he killed Administrator
    for the sake of the people,
[20:56] Eldrie
    then isn't it his duty
    to go to the Eastern Gate this moment?
[21:02] Alice
    Forgive me, Eldrie.
[21:05] Alice
    I simply cannot go with you.
[21:09] Alice
    It has nothing to do with Kirito's condition.
[21:11] Alice
    I can no longer wield my sword.
[21:14] Alice
    That's all there is to it.
[21:16] Alice
    If I were to cross swords with you now,
[21:18] Alice
    I most likely wouldn't last three strikes.
[21:21] Eldrie
    Is that so?
[21:23] Eldrie
    Then I won't press you further.
[21:32] Eldrie
    I bid you farewell, my mentor.
[21:35] Eldrie
    I, Eldrie, shall never forget as long as I live
    the secret sword skills and techniques you taught me.
[21:42] Alice
    Take care. I pray that you'll be safe.
[22:10] Alice
    I'm sorry. You must be tired.
[22:13] Alice
    Then let's go to bed, shall we?
[22:38] Alice
    Tell me, Kirito.
[22:42] Alice
    What should I do?
[22:46] Alice
    What should I...?
[23:00] Alice
    Kirito?
[23:05] Alice
    What's wrong, Kirito?
[23:26] Alice
    Is it an attack by the Dark Territory?
[23:31] Alice
    Selka!
[23:36] Alice
    Next time: Raids.
