**[00:16] K**
No one's around here, huh?
***SIGN*** Dark Wind
**[00:28] K**
* There are six left, including Sinon and*
* Death Gun, who doesn't show up.*
**[00:35] K**
*They took each other out?*
**[00:38] K**
*Four left.*
**[00:43] K**
*At the start, there were thirty people.*
**[00:45] K**
*Two survivors...*
**[00:47] K**
*Twenty-four killed.*
**[00:49] K**
* Adding Sinon and Death Gun*
* comes to twenty-eight.*
**[00:52] K**
*Pale Rider makes twenty-nine.*
**[00:56] K**
*We're missing one.*
**[01:00] K**
*Did Death Gun take someone else out afterward?*
**[01:04] K**
* No, whoever's working with him is*
* standing by near Sinon's house...*
**[01:11] K**
*I may be missing something big.*
***SIGN*** Bullet of a Phantom
**[03:05] S**
Well?
**[03:06] K**
There should be five left.
**[03:08] K**
Me, you, Dark Wind,
**[03:11] ---**
Death Gun, who doesn't appear on the screen,
**[03:13] K**
and maybe one more...
**[03:15] K**
They might be hiding in a cave like we are.
**[03:19] S**
Just five left...
**[03:22] S**
But it's been an hour and forty-five minutes.
**[03:27] S**
Considering the last match ended
in just over two hours,
**[03:30] S**
we're basically matching the pace.
**[03:32] S**
It's strange that no one came
to chuck a grenade in here.
**[03:36] K**
Yeah.
**[03:38] K**
It's possible that
**[03:39] ---**
Death Gun might have been looking for us,
**[03:42] K**
and taking out anyone he saw with his rifle.
**[03:46] S**
Then he's sure to get the "max kills" award.
**[03:52] S**
Anyway, the problem is Dark Wind.
**[03:55] S**
You're the only survivor who
showed up on his terminal.
**[03:58] S**
He'll definitely come for you.
**[04:01] K**
Is he strong?
**[04:02] S**
Last time, he came in second place.
**[04:05] S**
He's a typical agility build
**[04:07] S**
called the Run-Gun Demon.
**[04:10] K**
Ru... Run-Gun?
**[04:12] S**
Run and Gun...
**[04:13] S**
A style where you run, shoot, and run again.
**[04:16] S**
He uses an ultra-lightweight machine gun,
the Calico M900A.
**[04:21] S**
Last time, he lost to Zexceed's rare gun
and armor and came in second,
**[04:26] S**
but some people say he's the better player.
**[04:35] K**
D-Does that mean
**[04:37] ---**
he might be the best player on
the Japanese GGO server?
**[04:41] S**
Listen...
**[04:43] ---**
If your guess is right,
**[04:45] ---**
right now, I'm the only person Death Gun can kill.
**[04:49] S**
Because his partner needs to be near my home.
**[04:54] S**
In other words, that means Dark Wind
can't be killed by Death Gun.
**[05:00] S**
So I kind of hate to say this,
**[05:02] ---**
but couldn't we use him as a decoy?
***SIGN*** Dark Wind
**[05:06] S**
If Death Gun shoots him, we'll know where he is.
**[05:11] S**
And you could say I'm doing something similar.
**[05:17] K**
You're strong, Sinon...
**[05:21] S**
No, I'm just trying not to think about it.
**[05:24] S**
I've always been good at closing
my eyes to something scary.
**[05:28] S**
Anyway, what about that plan?
**[05:30] K**
Yeah, I'm basically in favor.
**[05:35] K**
But there's something that bothers me.
**[05:38] K**
I counted all the surviving and defeated players
**[05:42] ---**
and it only added up to twenty-eight.
**[05:44] K**
Even if one is Pale Rider,
that doesn't explain the other.
**[05:48] S**
Are you saying Death Gun killed
someone else after that?
**[05:52] S**
That's impossible.
**[05:54] S**
His partner should be after me, shouldn't he?
**[05:57] K**
Yeah, that's true, but...
**[06:00] K**
When you think about it,
it doesn't make much sense.
**[06:03] K**
There were only thirty minutes
**[06:06] ---**
between Death Gun shooting Pale Rider
and his trying to shoot you.
**[06:10] K**
In other words, Pale Rider's house
must be in the same prefecture,
**[06:13] ---**
and under thirty minutes away.
**[06:17] K**
Isn't that a little too convenient?
**[06:19] S**
But it's the only possibility.
**[06:22] K**
We don't know for sure that
Death Gun only has one partner.
**[06:26] K**
If there's more than one,
**[06:29] K**
one might be waiting for you,
**[06:32] K**
while another player is killed.
**[06:36] K**
In other words,
**[06:37] K**
it's possible that Dark Wind
is also a Death Gun target.
**[06:48] S**
N-No...
**[06:50] S**
You're telling me that three or more are
involved in something so terrifying?
**[06:54] K**
At least ten Laughing Coffin players survived.
**[06:59] K**
I can't believe that every single
one of them is involved,
**[07:02] ---**
but we have no evidence that
there's only one other person.
**[07:05] S**
Why...
**[07:07] ---**
Why is it so important for them
to be player killers?
**[07:11] S**
They were finally released from
that death game, so why?
**[07:16] K**
It's probably the same reason
**[07:18] ---**
that I try to be a swordsman
**[07:21] K**
and you try to be a sniper.
**[07:26] S**
I called them player killers, but I take that back.
**[07:29] S**
In this game, there are many who PK.
**[07:32] S**
I was in a squadron like that.
**[07:35] S**
But PKs have their own pride and resolve.
**[07:39] S**
Killing someone with poison while
they're full-diving isn't PKing.
**[07:45] S**
It's just a cowardly crime.
**[07:47] S**
It's murder.
**[07:49] S**
Which means we can't lose to people like that!
**[07:53] K**
Yeah, that's right.
**[07:55] K**
We can't let them get away with this anymore.
**[07:59] K**
I'll defeat Death Gun on this battlefield,
**[08:01] K**
and make him and his real world partners pay.
**[08:06] K**
*Yeah, that's the first duty I must fulfill.*
**[08:11] K**
*I need to start over from there,*
**[08:14] K**
*and atone for killing two amidst that chaos,*
**[08:17] K**
*and then the other one later on.*
**[08:22] K**
* I need to protect Sinon, defeat Dark Wind,*
* and beat Death Gun.*
**[08:27] K**
*It won't be easy,*
**[08:28] K**
*but I need to do it, no matter what.*
**[08:30] S**
I'll handle Dark Wind.
**[08:34] S**
I won't let Death Gun kill him.
**[08:37] S**
He's strong.
**[08:38] S**
Even you won't be able
to take him out in one hit.
**[08:41] S**
While you're fighting him,
Death Gun will go after you.
**[08:44] K**
Th-That might be true, but...
**[08:47] S**
You said it, too, right?
**[08:50] S**
I'm a sniper.
**[08:52] S**
If you act as my spotter and tell me
the enemy's location,
**[08:56] S**
I'll handle Dark Wind and Death Gun.
**[09:00] K**
I see.
**[09:03] K**
Then I'll leave the sniping to you.
**[09:05] K**
The two of them must be getting close.
**[09:08] K**
I'll jump out in the buggy first.
**[09:11] K**
You leave afterward and get
to a position where you can attack.
**[09:24] S**
Good luck out there, partner.
**[09:54] K**
*Dark Wind is coming from the west,*
**[09:57] K**
* so if Death Gun is going to open fire,*
* it'll probably be from the east.*
**[10:02] K**
* If he takes a hit in his heart or his head,*
* it's almost certain death.*
**[10:05] K**
*And he'll shoot while he's invisible with his cape.*
**[10:10] K**
*But you...*
**[10:12] K**
*You were able to cut even my bullet.*
**[10:15] K**
*You can dodge it, right, Kirito?*
**[10:18] K**
*My job is to take out Dark Wind immediately.*
**[10:22] K**
*If I miss, Kirito will be killed.*
**[10:24] K**
*And after that, Death Gun will kill me.*
**[10:28] K**
*My real life depends on this one shot.*
**[10:33] K**
*Just like back then.*
**[10:39] K**
*Hecate II, please...*
**[10:42] K**
*I'm weak. Lend me your power.*
**[10:45] K**
* Give me the power to stand*
* and start walking again!*
**[11:13] K**
*The southwest...*
**[11:14] K**
*This is Dark Wind.*
**[11:16] K**
*Sinon will handle Dark Wind.*
**[11:23] S**
*He's fast.*
**[11:27] S**
*What do I do?*
**[11:28] S**
*Try to predict his movement and lead him,*
**[11:30] S**
* or fire at his feet,*
* deliberately missing my first shot,*
**[11:32] S**
*and then finish him when he panics?*
**[11:38] S**
*No...*
**[11:39] S**
* When he has Kirito in his sights,*
* Dark Wind will stop.*
**[11:42] S**
*I'll wait until then.*
**[11:45] S**
*I'll endure this.*
**[11:47] S**
*So you need to, as well.*
**[11:48] S**
*Kirito, believe in me!*
**[12:01] K**
*Concentrate...*
**[12:04] K**
*Feel his killer instinct.*
**[12:07] K**
*Just like before.*
**[12:20] K**
*That's right.*
**[12:22] K**
* Last time, I noticed them because*
* I felt their killer instinct.*
**[12:28] K**
* What was the name of that*
* first man who attacked me?*
**[12:37] Gu**
Kirito...
**[12:39] Gu**
I'll kill you later.
**[12:55] Gu**
I'll kill you later.
**[13:24] Gu**
Dark Wind...
**[13:58] S**
Kirito!
**[14:16] S**
There he is.
**[14:57] S**
It's up to you now, Kirito.
**[15:01] K**
*You did it, Sinon.*
**[15:02] K**
*I'll take it from here!*
**[15:31] S**
Kirito!
**[15:36] Gi**
It's okay, Mommy!
***SIGN*** Yui
**[15:38] Gi**
No matter how strong his opponent,
Daddy won't lose.
**[15:42] Gi**
Because he's Daddy.
**[15:44] A**
Yeah, you're right.
**[15:48] Gi**
Turn left at the corner, and go eight meters.
**[15:52] Gi**
Kirigaya-kun?
**[15:56] A**
Kirito-kun!
**[15:57] Gi**
You're Yuuki-san, right?
**[15:58] Gi**
I've heard.
**[16:00] A**
Has something happened to Ki... Kazuto-kun?
**[16:03] Gi**
Don't worry.
**[16:04] Gi**
He's in no physical danger.
**[16:07] Gi**
But his heart rate started suddenly climbing.
**[16:09] A**
His heart rate?
**[16:13] A**
What's going on?
**[16:16] Gi**
Mommy, look at the PC panel on the wall.
**[16:19] Gi**
I'll tune it to MMO Stream's live footage.
***SIGN*** Bullet of Bullets Final Round
**[16:34] A**
That's Kirito-kun.
**[16:37] Gi**
That's Kirigaya-kun's avatar?
**[16:40] A**
Yeah, he's in combat.
**[16:43] A**
That's why his heart rate's elevated.
**[16:49] A**
*An estoc?*
**[16:53] A**
*That's him!*
**[16:53] A**
* One of the Laughing Coffin leaders*
* was really good with an estoc.*
**[16:57] A**
*His name... His name was...*
**[17:00] A**
Ste... Steven?
**[17:03] A**
Did he misspell "Steven"?
**[17:05] Gi**
No.
**[17:05] Gi**
No, Mommy.
**[17:07] Gi**
That's German.
**[17:08] Gi**
It's also specialized medical vocabulary.
**[17:11] Gi**
It's read "Sterben."
**[17:14] A**
Sterben?
**[17:17] Gi**
It means "death."
**[17:19] Gi**
It's used when a patient passes away at a hospital.
**[17:29] A**
Kirito-kun...
**[17:36] K**
That's a rare weapon...
**[17:40] K**
Actually, I never heard anything about
metal blades being in GGO.
**[17:44] Gu**
Looks like you should have studied more,
black swordsman.
**[17:50] Gu**
You can make it with the gun-blade skill.
**[17:52] Gu**
Though the length and weight
can't be much more than this.
**[17:57] K**
Then I'm afraid you wouldn't be able
to make a blade I'd like.
**[18:01] Gu**
You still like blades with high
strength requirements?
**[18:07] Gu**
Then that toy must disappoint you.
**[18:13] K**
It isn't that bad.
**[18:16] K**
I've always wanted to use something like this.
**[18:19] K**
And...
**[18:20] K**
A sword's a sword.
**[18:22] K**
If I slice through you and deplete
your HP gauge, I win.
**[18:28] Gu**
Bold.
**[18:30] Gu**
Can you do that?
**[18:32] Gu**
You've breathed too much
of the real world's rotten air.
**[18:36] Gu**
If the old you had seen that weak vorpal strike,
he'd be disappointed.
**[18:43] K**
Maybe...
**[18:44] K**
But that goes for you, too.
**[18:47] K**
Or do you think you're still
a member of Laughing Coffin?
**[18:55] Gu**
You were able to remember that much?
**[18:58] Gu**
Then you understand the difference
between you and me.
**[19:04] Gu**
I'm a real red player,
**[19:06] Gu**
but you aren't.
**[19:11] Gu**
You simply killed out of fear, to survive.
**[19:16] Gu**
You're a coward, who never thought about
**[19:20] ---**
what that meant, and tried to forget everything.
**[19:25] K**
Maybe.
**[19:27] K**
But you aren't a murderer anymore, either!
**[19:31] K**
I already know how you killed
Zexceed and the others.
**[19:35] K**
It isn't that black gun's power,
let alone your own power.
**[19:40] Gu**
Then what is it?
**[19:42] Gu**
Tell me.
**[19:43] K**
You used that optical camouflage
cape to watch the players
**[19:46] ---**
inputting their addresses in the terminals
at the governor general's office.
**[19:51] K**
You have your partners sneak inside their rooms
**[19:54] ---**
to inject them with a drug at the right time,
**[19:57] K**
making it look like death by heart failure.
**[20:00] K**
That's the truth.
**[20:02] K**
Internal Affairs has all the SAO players'
real names and character names.
**[20:09] K**
Once they know your old name,
**[20:11] K**
they'll know your real name, your address,
and how you committed all your crimes!
**[20:20] K**
End this...
**[20:22] K**
Log out and turn yourself in!
**[20:24] Gu**
I see.
**[20:26] Gu**
You have a fascinating imagination.
**[20:28] Gu**
But you aren't quite there.
**[20:30] Gu**
You can't stop me.
**[20:33] Gu**
Because you can't remember my old name.
**[20:40] K**
What?
**[20:42] K**
How can you be so sure?
**[20:45] Gu**
You've even forgotten the reason why you forgot.
**[20:51] Gu**
Listen.
**[20:52] Gu**
After that battle ended,
**[20:55] Gu**
I was about to give you my name.
**[20:59] Gu**
But you...
**[21:03] K**
I don't want to know your name,
**[21:06] K**
and there's no reason for me to.
**[21:07] K**
I'm never going to see you again.
**[21:15] Gu**
You don't know my name.
**[21:20] Gu**
That's why you can't remember it.
**[21:22] Gu**
I'll defeat you here,
**[21:23] Gu**
and you'll lie on the ground as I kill the girl,
**[21:27] Gu**
and all you'll be able to do is watch!
**[21:45] Gu**
This is made of the best metal
you can get in this game.
**[21:52] Gu**
It's supposed to be made of
a space battleship's armor.
