[00:16] Natsuki
Are you ready?
[00:18] Asuna
Yes.
[00:19] Asuna
Anytime you're ready, please.
[00:21] Higa
Ms. Asuna.
[00:23] Higa
You'll be using the superuser account 01,
Stacia, the Goddess of Creation, 'kay?
[00:29] Higa
Although this account gives you admin rights
to run the unlimited landscape alteration command,
[00:36] Higa
since there's so much data being transferred
between the STL and the Main Visualizer,
[00:42] Higa
it can seriously overload your Fluctlight, 'kay?
[00:45] Higa
So please try not to alter the landscape recklessly.
[00:49] Higa
If you feel a headache starting while using the command,
stop doing it right away, 'kay?
[00:55] Asuna
Okay.
[00:56] Aki
Ms. Yuuki. I'm counting on you
to take care of Kirito.
[01:00] Asuna
Of course.

[03:01] Asuna
So this is the side effect of landscape alteration.
[03:05] Asuna
Where? Where are you, Kirito?
[03:13] Tiese
Lady Stacia?
[03:16] Tiese
Are you... a god?
[03:21] Asuna
No. I'm sorry. I'm not a god.
[03:25] Ronie
But... But you just performed a miracle
and saved my life!
[03:31] Ronie
You've saved the guards, the monks
and Kirito-senpai, as well.
[03:37] Asuna
I...
[03:38] Asuna
I've come here just to see him... to see Kirito.
[03:44] Asuna
Please...
[03:45] Asuna
Where is he?
[03:47] Asuna
Let me see him!
[03:49] Asuna
Please take me to Kirito!
[03:55] Tiese/Ronie
- Right.
- Right.
[03:56] Tiese/Ronie
- This way.
- This way.
[04:14] Asuna
Kirito.
[04:31] Asuna
Kirito, it's all right. That's enough.
[04:47] Asuna
Thank you.
You've been protecting Kirito, haven't you?
[04:53] Ronie
Um... if you're not Lady Stacia,
then who are you?
[04:58] Asuna
My name is Asuna.
[05:01] Asuna
I'm a human being, just like you.
[05:03] Asuna
Just like Kirito,
I've come from the outside world.
[05:06] Asuna
In order to fulfill the same goal.
[05:10] Tiese/Ronie
- The same world as Kirito-senpai?
- The same world as Kirito-senpai?
[05:13] Ronie
D-Do you mean the Divine Realm?
[05:17] Ronie
The Celestial Realm where the three goddesses of creation,
the gods of the elements, and the angels live?
[05:23] Asuna
Not that. Although it is a world
that exists outside of this one.
[05:28] Asuna
I'm sorry. I can't really describe it in one word.
[05:32] Asuna
I'd like to explain it to the people in command here,
so could you take me to them?
[05:37] Ronie
Y-Yes. Understood. Please come this way.
[05:46] Asuna
It's all right. Everything's all right now, Kirito.
[05:51] Asuna
Just leave the rest to me.
[06:06] Tiese
L-Lady Knight! Please stop!
[06:09] Ronie
She's not the enemy! Lady Alice—
[06:12] Asuna
Alice?
[06:13] Alice
Who are you?
[06:15] Alice
Why did you go near Kirito?
[06:18] Asuna
Why, you ask?
[06:20] Asuna
Because Kirito belongs to me!
[06:21] Alice
What are you talking about, you savage?
[06:30] Bercouli
Now this is truly a magnificent sight to behold.
[06:34] Bercouli
Two beautiful flowers bursting into bloom.
[06:38] Bercouli
Man, it's glorious.
[06:46] Alice
Why would you interrupt me?
[06:48] Alice
Uncle, she must be an enemy spy.
[06:51] Bercouli
I don't think so.
[06:54] Bercouli
Because just as I was about to meet
my untimely demise in battle,
[07:00] Bercouli
it was this young lady who saved my life.
[07:04] Bercouli
I saw it.
[07:09] Bercouli
So they're here.
[07:22] Bercouli
A rainbow of light came down from the heavens,
[07:25] Bercouli
and the earth split open 100 mel wide.
[07:28] Bercouli
Even those pugilists were flustered
because they couldn't make the jump.
[07:33] Bercouli
That we were this close
to being wiped out in one fell swoop
[07:36] Bercouli
and this young lady saved us
is an undeniable fact.
[07:41] Alice
Then are you saying
that this person isn't an enemy spy,
[07:44] Alice
nor an immoral imposter dressed like
a divine entity depicted in holy art,
[07:48] Alice
but rather the real goddess, Stacia?
[07:52] Bercouli
I don't think that.
[07:54] Bercouli
If this young lady were an actual god,
then she'd be scarier than the pontifex, wouldn't she?
[07:59] Bercouli
She'd hurl someone rude enough to attack her
at first sight into the depths of the earth.
[08:12] Asuna
Yes. As you say, I'm not a god.
[08:17] Asuna
I'm a human, like all of you.
[08:20] Asuna
But I do have some knowledge
of the situation you're in right now.
[08:27] Bercouli
The rest of your story should be heard
by the other knights and guards, as well.
[08:32] Bercouli
Let's talk about this over tea.
[08:34] Alice
Very well.
[08:36] Bercouli
Right, now that that's settled.
[08:38] Bercouli
You young ladies over there!
[08:41] Bercouli
Could you get us some hot tea,
and some liquor for me?
[08:45] Bercouli
You should listen in, too.
[08:48] Tiese/Ronie
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
[08:56] Alice
I want to make one thing clear.
[08:58] Alice
From now on, you are not to enter that carriage
without my permission.
[09:02] Alice
As it is my duty to ensure Kirito's safety.
[09:07] Asuna
You, too! Stop referring to my Kirito
in such a familiar way!
[09:12] Alice
Did you say something?
[09:15] Asuna
No, nothing.
[09:23] Tiese
It looks like things are going to get intense, huh?
[09:26] Tiese
Come on, we need to boil some water right away!
[09:29] Tiese
The liquor jug's in that carriage over there, right?
Let's go, Ronie!
[09:38] Ronie
He's my senpai...
[09:44] Asuna
It's nice to meet you all.
[09:46] Asuna
My name is Asuna.
[09:48] Asuna
I've come here from the outside world.
[09:51] Asuna
By "outside," I don't mean that this world
that you all live in, the Underworld,
[09:56] Asuna
is psychically connected
to the real world I came from.
[10:00] Asuna
They're totally separate worlds.
[10:03] Asuna
And now, in a specific location in the real world,
two forces are fighting for control of the Underworld.
[10:12] Asuna
I was sent from Rath, one of those forces.
[10:16] Golgorosso
Then did you come to this world to rule over it?
[10:20] Asuna
The opposite, actually.
My objective is to protect the Underworld.
[10:25] Asuna
And the objective of the force opposing us
is to extract a single person from the Underworld,
[10:32] Asuna
and then destroy this world completely.
[10:36] Golgorosso
Destroy this world?
[10:37] Guard A
That's ridiculous.
[10:39] Guard B
In the first place, what's this "outside world"?
[10:41] Bercouli
It's the same thing.
[10:43] Bercouli
Outside the Human Empire lies the Dark Territory,
[10:47] Bercouli
where a colossal force of tens of thousands
has been more than eager to invade us.
[10:53] Bercouli
That's a fact that no one, including me,
has ever given any serious thought to.
[10:58] Bercouli
So what if there's one more world
on the outside now?
[11:02] Bercouli
It's not a big deal.
[11:03] Bercouli
So this force that's intent on destroying this world,
who's the single person they want to seize?
[11:14] Alice
M-Me?
[11:17] Bercouli
I see. So that's what this
"Priestess of Light" is about, huh?
[11:22] Asuna
There isn't much time left.
[11:24] Asuna
The only way to prevent the Underworld's annihilation
is to take Alice to the real world with me.
[11:31] Asuna
Once they know that Alice is no longer here,
the enemy should stop interfering with this world.
[11:36] Alice
Y-You must be joking!
[11:38] Alice
Run away? Me?
[11:40] Alice
Abandon this world and everyone who lives here,
to go to this real world?
[11:45] Alice
That will never happen!
I am an Integrity Knight!
[11:48] Alice
Protecting the Human Empire
is my gravest and only duty!
[11:51] Asuna
Then that's all the more reason.
[11:53] Asuna
If the enemy, not the land of darkness,
but the invaders from the real world capture you,
[12:00] Asuna
then everyone who lives in this world,
the land, the skies, everything will be erased!
[12:06] Asuna
The enemy could attack this place
at any moment!
[12:09] Bercouli
Whoa. About that,
your information's outdated, little Asuna.
[12:14] Bercouli
It seems like these guys you call the enemy
are already here.
[12:20] Bercouli
Now it all makes sense.
[12:23] Bercouli
The Priestess of Light
and the Dark God Vecta, who's after her.
[12:27] Bercouli
This god, Vecta, who's leading the enemy force right now,
must no doubt be a human from the real world like you.
[12:34] Asuna
Dark God...
[12:37] Asuna
My goodness. Then the superuser accounts
for the Dark Territory must not have been locked.
[12:43] Renly
Um, m-may I ask something?
[12:46] Renly
What exactly is the Priestess of Light, anyway?
[12:50] Renly
And why do these invaders from the real world
want Lady Alice so badly?
[12:56] Sheyta
Because she broke the Seal of the Right Eye.
[12:59] Alice
Y-You knew about that, Lady Sheyta? But how?
[13:03] Sheyta
Whenever I think about it,
my right eye hurts.
[13:06] Sheyta
The hardest thing in the world,
the indestructible Central Cathedral.
[13:11] Sheyta
If I could just slash the whole thing,
what fun that would be.
[13:16] Bercouli
Well, I bet there are others here
who've experienced the same thing.
[13:22] Bercouli
I referring to how the slightest doubt about
the pontifex's authority or the Axiom Church's system
[13:27] Bercouli
triggers a flashing red light in your right eyeball,
along with a searing pain.
[13:33] Bercouli
Normally, the pain is so severe
that you'd lose that thought,
[13:38] Bercouli
but should those blasphemous thoughts continue,
the pain intensifies drastically,
[13:42] Bercouli
and the right side of your vision turns red.
Until finally...
[13:46] Alice
Your entire right eye explodes completely.
[13:50] Renly
Then, Lady Alice...
[13:54] Alice
I fought Prime Senator Chudelkin,
as well as the pontifex, Administrator.
[14:00] Alice
In order to muster the resolve to do so,
I temporarily lost my right eye.
[14:05] Alice
Come to think of it...
[14:06] Alice
when I fought Administrator,
there was something about my right eye...
[14:11] Alice
I believe it was Code 8... 7...
[14:15] Alice
That's right! Code 871!
[14:17] Alice
That's what the pontifex
called the Seal of the Right Eye.
[14:21] Alice
She said it was Code 871,
imposed by "that person."
[14:24] Alice
At the time, I didn't know what she meant.
[14:27] Alice
But could this, too, be a word from the real world,
rather than an ancient sacred term?
[14:31] Asuna
Code... 87... 1?
[14:34] Asuna
That seal was put in place on the other side...
by someone from Rath?
[14:38] Asuna
But no, it would only get in the way
of their objective.
[14:43] Asuna
Rath's goal is to create an AI
with true intelligence.
[14:48] Asuna
Mr. Kikuoka and Mr. Higa
created the Underworld for that purpose,
[14:52] Asuna
and they've continued the simulation for centuries.
[14:55] Asuna
Since Mr. Kikuoka deliberately created an environment
for the AIs to violate the Taboo Index,
[15:00] Asuna
having a code to force them into obedience
would defeat the purpose of the experiment.
[15:05] Asuna
No way!
[15:06] Asuna
Is the Seal of the Right Eye a means of sabotage?
[15:09] Asuna
Is it the enemy that's attacking us now?
[15:12] Asuna
This is bad! There's a mole among the Rath staff!
[15:16] Asuna
On this side of the bulkhead!
[15:18] Asuna
I have to let Mr. Kikuoka on the outside
know right away.
[15:21] Asuna
But how am I going to do that
if there are no system consoles nearby?
[15:25] Asuna
Kirito!
[15:29] Kirito
Asuna.
[15:31] Kirito
Please...
[15:36] Alice
Is something wrong?
[15:37] Asuna
No. I'm fine.
[15:39] Asuna
As Alice said, Code 871, the Seal of the Right Eye,
was set up by someone from the real world.
[15:46] Asuna
Someone on the enemy side.
[15:49] Bercouli
Isn't there any way to disable that code,
aside from blowing up the right eye?
[15:54] Asuna
I don't think it's something
that can be disabled from inside the Underworld.
[15:59] Bercouli
In other words,
this enemy you're talking about
[16:02] Bercouli
wants to get their hands on someone
who broke the Seal of the Right Eye on their own.
[16:07] Bercouli
Let me ask you something.
[16:08] Bercouli
Do you real-world folks have the same seal?
[16:11] Asuna
No. I have no such seal.
[16:14] Asuna
Most likely, whether or not we're absolutely forced
to obey laws and commands
[16:21] Asuna
is the one thing that sets apart
the real-worlders and the Underworlders.
[16:25] Asuna
The enemy feared the one
who would break that seal in the Underworld.
[16:29] Asuna
That the Priestess of Light, as they call her,
would appear, and then fall into the hands of others.
[16:36] Asuna
That's because the Priestess of Light can very well
become extremely valuable in the real world.
[16:42] Bercouli
That's what I can't understand.
[16:44] Bercouli
If the only difference between us
and you real-worlders
[16:49] Bercouli
is whether or not we have
the Seal of the Right Eye,
[16:51] Bercouli
doesn't that make the Priestess of Light, in other words,
little Alice, an existence equal to a real-worlder?
[16:57] Bercouli
Then why are they obsessed
with the Priestess of Light?
[17:01] Bercouli
Whether it's the enemy or your people,
[17:05] Bercouli
what exactly do they want little Alice to do
once she's been taken to the outside world?
[17:09] Asuna
Well...
[17:11] Asuna
I'm sorry. I can't tell you now.
[17:14] Asuna
Because what I want is for Ms. Alice to see the real world
with her own eyes, and then decide for herself.
[17:20] Asuna
It's not a divine nation in any way,
nor is it a utopia.
[17:25] Asuna
Far from it. Compared to this world,
it's way uglier and dirtier.
[17:31] Asuna
But that's not all there is.
[17:34] Asuna
There are so many people there who want
to protect this world and be friends with you all.
[17:38] Asuna
That's right, just like Kirito.
[17:44] Alice
Very well. I won't ask you anything else for now.
[17:47] Alice
However, we should first defeat
the enemy before us,
[17:51] Alice
and establish peace with the Dark Territory.
[17:54] Alice
The outside world can wait till afterwards.
[17:56] Asuna
Right.
[17:58] Asuna
Now that I know that
the Dark God Vecta is from the real world,
[18:02] Asuna
it could be dangerous for you and me
to leave this unit by ourselves.
[18:06] Asuna
I'm going to join you in this battle.
[18:09] Asuna
Please let me take care of Vecta.
[18:13] Bercouli
Sure, that would be a huge help, but can you do
that ground-splitting thing without limit?
[18:20] Asuna
Unfortunately, I can probably only perform
large-scale land alterations once or twice more.
[18:27] Alice
How can we rely on an outsider's help
to protect our own Human Empire?
[18:33] Alice
It's our turn now to show what we can do.
[18:35] Renly
Right... that's right!
[18:37] Renly
Asuna's not a god.
Didn't she just say that she's a human like us?
[18:42] Renly
So we should be able to fight
just as well as her!
[18:46] Sheyta
I, too, would like to fight that pugilist again.
[18:50] Golgorosso
The knights are absolutely right!
Let's do this ourselves!
[18:55] Asuna
I'll protect this world that Kirito loved and lived in.
[19:00] Asuna
From those mysterious attackers...
[19:01] Asuna
and from Rath as well.
[19:11] Alice
I figured you'd come.
[19:21] Alice
Let's make a deal.
[19:22] Alice
I'll let you see Kirito.
[19:24] Alice
And I'll tell you everything I know.
[19:27] Alice
In return, you need to tell me
everything you know about Kirito as well.
[19:34] Asuna
That's fine!
[19:35] Asuna
But it's a really long story.
[19:38] Asuna
It might take more than one night.
[19:40] Alice
How long have you spent with Kirito?
[19:42] Asuna
Let's see. I fought as his partner for two years.
[19:46] Asuna
And then we dated for a year and a half.
[19:48] Asuna
During which, we lived together for two weeks.
[19:53] Alice
I fought by his side for a full night.
[19:57] Alice
After that, I cared for him day and night for six months
while living under the same roof!
[20:03] Asuna
Is that so?
[20:05] Ronie
Excuse me.
[20:07] Ronie
Um, I-I cleaned Kirito-senpai's room
for about two months,
[20:12] Ronie
and I also learned sword skills from him,
[20:14] Ronie
not to mention that he treated me to honey pies
from the Prancing Deer Cafe more than once!
[20:18] Ronie
Compared to you two,
I was with him for a much shorter time,
[20:22] Ronie
but, um, I'd like to trade information, too.
[20:27] Asuna
All right. You're one of us, then, Ms. Ronie!
[20:33] Liena
This information exchange...
would you allow me to take part as well?
[20:38] Asuna
I saw you in that meeting just now.
[20:40] Liena
I am Norlangarth Imperial Knight Sortiliena Serlut.
[20:46] Liena
I was going to wait until the battle was over,
[20:49] Liena
but as I, too, have a close relationship with Kirito,
I couldn't stop myself from coming here.
[20:55] Alice
And what kind of relationship would that be,
Chief Guard Serlut?
[20:59] Liena
If you like, please call me Liena, Lady Knight.
[21:03] Liena
At the Norlangarth Imperial Swordcraft Academy,
[21:06] Liena
Kirito waited on me as my primary trainee page
for a full year.
[21:12] Liena
In addition, I believe I was able to pass on
some of my sword skills to him.
[21:19] Asuna
In that case, you must also
have plenty of information yourself!
[21:23] Asuna
Please join us.
[21:35] Alice
What's wrong?
[21:37] Asuna
"Dual-wielding Kirito."
[21:39] Asuna
That's what people called him on the other side.
[21:42] Alice
Really?
[21:49] Alice
Then why don't we start there?
[23:36] Alice
Next time: Heartless Choice.
