**[00:24] N**
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.
**[05:20] A**
I think that lots of people expect
great things from you now...
**[05:25] A**
Including me.
**[05:30] K**
Yeah...
**[05:31] K**
I promised that I'd save everyone.
**[05:38] A**
But for just a little longer...
**[05:42] K**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** You can do it, Nishida!
***SIGN*** Catch the enormous fish!
**[05:52] K**
Seriously?
**[05:54] A**
Everyone had heard about the fish!
**[05:59] N**
And now,
**[06:01] N**
it's time for the day's main event.
**[06:05] Guys**
We've been waiting for this!
**[06:06] N**
Kirito-san,
**[06:07] N**
let's do this.
**[06:13] K**
How big is this thing?
**[06:16] N**
Here we go...
**[06:42] N**
Um, isn't that it?
**[06:44] K**
Not yet.
**[06:46] K**
N-Nishida-san...
**[06:48] N**
No, not yet.
**[06:52] N**
Now!
**[06:54] N**
I've got it!
**[06:56] N**
Go!
**[06:58] K**
S-Switch...
**[07:04] K**
Damn it! You little...
**[07:10] A**
I see it!
**[07:19] K**
Okay, I can do this...
**[07:23] K**
What?
**[07:24] K**
Hey!
**[07:31] A**
Kirito-kun!
**[07:33] A**
It's dangerous!
**[07:36] K**
What's dangerous?
**[07:51] K**
Th-Th-That's unfair!
**[07:52] K**
Don't run away, leaving me...
**[07:54] N**
Kirito-san!
**[07:58] K**
It's running on land.
**[08:00] K**
Is it a lungfish?
**[08:02] N**
Kirito-san!
**[08:03] N**
Pay attention!
**[08:05] N**
Run away!
**[08:07] K**
Ah, right.
**[08:09] A**
Oh, fine...
**[08:14] N**
Miss, run!
**[08:16] K**
She'll be fine.
**[08:19] N**
Kirito-san, your wife!
**[08:23] N**
Your wife!
**[08:36] Villagers**
A-Amazing!
**[08:40] Villagers**
You're Asuna-san, right?
**[08:42] Villagers**
What are you doing here?
**[08:44] Villagers**
I'm a fan!
**[08:45] Villagers**
Can I shake your hand, too?
**[08:49] K**
Good work.
**[08:53] K**
Heathcliff?
**[09:02] A**
All right, stop moping.
**[09:05] K**
But it's only been two weeks...
**[09:09] A**
If he's summoning us to the front
lines when we're on vacation,
**[09:12] ---**
something big must've happened.
**[09:14] K**
True, but...
**[09:17] A**
Let's at least talk to him.
**[09:19] A**
Come on, it's time.
**[09:28] A**
Let's deal with it and come back.
**[09:30] K**
Yeah.
**[09:34] K**
Thanks for seeing us off.
***SIGN*** November 7, 2024 Floor 22: Coral Teleport Gate Plaza
**[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.
**[12:29] ---**
But good luck.
**[12:30] K**
Let's go fishing together again.
**[12:33] A**
We'll be back.
**[12:38] K/A**
Teleport: Grandzam.
***SIGN*** November 7, 2024 Floor 55: Grandzam
**[12:54] K**
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.
**[13:40] K**
However, Asuna's safety
is my highest priority.
**[13:44] K**
If things get bad,
**[13:46] ---**
I will protect her over the rest of the party.
**[13:50] H**
A person is very strong when he
seeks to protect something.
**[13:54] H**
I'll expect a good fight.
**[14:01] A**
Three hours left, huh?
**[14:04] A**
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.
**[16:14] A**
To really get married...
**[16:17] A**
To get old together!
**[16:21] A**
So...
**[16:23] A**
So...
**[16:27] K**
For the moment, we have to fight, right?
***SIGN*** Floor 75: Yurinia Teleport Gate Plaza
**[16:52] Kl**
Hey!
**[16:55] K**
What? You guys are coming, too?
**[16:58] E**
You should be happy to see me.
**[17:01] E**
I shut my shop down to come and help.
**[17:04] E**
You don't even understand
my selfless desire to help?
**[17:08] K**
Then, we'll remove you from item drop list.
**[17:12] E**
I wouldn't take it that far...
**[17:30] H**
Corridor: open.
**[17:35] H**
Now, let's go.
**[17:45] A**
I don't like this place...
**[17:48] K**
Yeah.
**[17:59] H**
Are you ready?
**[18:02] H**
The Knights of the Blood Oath will take
**[18:05] ---**
the majority of damage on the front line.
**[18:07] H**
While we do,
**[18:09] ---**
I'd like the rest to discern its attack patterns,
**[18:11] ---**
and prepare to change tactics as necessary.
**[18:14] H**
It will be a difficult battle,
**[18:16] H**
but I have faith that we can prevail.
**[18:20] H**
For our day of liberation!
**[18:36] A**
It'll be okay.
**[18:38] A**
I'll protect you.
**[18:40] A**
So you protect me, okay?
**[18:45] K**
Yeah, I will.
**[18:53] K**
Don't die.
**[18:55] Kr**
Same to you!
**[18:57] E**
I'm gonna make a fortune off today's drops.
**[18:59] E**
I have no intention of dying.
**[19:04] H**
Attack!
**[19:30] Soldier**
Nothing's happening...
**[19:40] A**
Above us!
**[19:45] Kl**
The Skull...
**[19:47] K**
...Reaper?
**[19:51] H**
Don't stay together!
**[19:52] H**
Stay away from it!
**[19:55] K**
This way!
**[19:56] K**
Run!
**[20:11] Kl**
W-With one hit?
**[20:13] E**
That's insane...
**[20:36] E**
We can't even get close to it!
**[20:40] K**
Get back!
**[20:44] K**
It's too strong...
**[20:52] A**
If we block together, we can do this...
**[20:55] A**
We can do it!
**[20:56] K**
Okay...
**[20:59] K**
We'll deal with the scythes!
**[21:01] K**
Everyone else, attack from the sides!
**[21:05] E**
Let's go!
**[21:06] Soldier**
Okay...
**[21:10] E**
Stay put!
**[21:17] E**
Damn it!
**[21:31] A**
Kirito-kun!
**[21:33] K**
Yeah.
