[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.

[12:54] 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?

    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.

    It will be a difficult battle,
