[00:54] K
    Asuna...
[00:55] K
    Asuna!
[01:50] K
    I've...
[01:52] K
    become such a crybaby, Asuna.
SIGN    Return
[03:38] S
    We really don't look alike...
[03:50] S
    Brother...
[03:51] S
    I'm off to practice.
[04:41] K
    Morning, Sugu.
[04:45] S
    M-M-Morning...
[04:50] S
    Honestly...
[04:51] S
    If you were watching,
    you should've said something.
[04:54] K
    Well...
[04:55] K
    You were just so into it.
[04:58] S
    I really wasn't.
[05:00] S
    It's just a habit now.
[05:04] K
    I see...
[05:06] K
    You've kept it up this whole time.
[05:10] K
    It's so light.
[05:12] S
    That's timber bamboo,
    so it's pretty heavy.
[05:15] K
    Oh, um...
[05:17] K
    Well...
[05:19] K
    I guess it just isn't as
    heavy as I'm used to...
[05:28] S
    What are you comparing it to?
[05:33] K
    Want to give it a go?
[05:36] S
    A go? You mean sparring?
[05:39] K
    Yeah.
[05:40] S
    With protective gear?
[05:43] K
    Or we could stop before
    we strike each other.
[05:46] K
    But I wouldn't want you
    getting hurt right off.
[05:51] K
    We still have Grandfather's gear, right?
[05:54] K
    Let's do it in the dojo.
[05:57] S
    It's been two years,
    but you sound pretty confident.
[06:01] S
    I was a quarterfinalist in the
    middle school nationals.
[06:03] S
    Think you stand a chance?
[06:07] S
    And also,
[06:08] S
    are you sure you feel up to it?
[06:10] S
    You shouldn't stress your body.
[06:15] K
    I'll show you the results of all that
    rehab I've been doing at the gym.
[06:33] S
    What's that supposed to be, Brother?
[06:36] K
    Don't worry about it.
[06:37] K
    It's my own style.
[06:41] S
    Here I go.
[06:42] K
    Okay.
[06:47] S
    He's totally open in the front.
[06:49] S
    I'll hit him there, and...
[06:53] S
    Huh?
[06:55] ---
    It's like it's second nature to him.
[07:06] S
    In that case...
[07:29] S
    Head!
[07:34] S
    A-Are you okay, Brother?
[07:40] S
    Oh, man...
[07:42] S
    You're strong, Sugu.
[07:44] S
    Heathcliff wouldn't have had a chance...
[07:46] K
    Are you really okay?
[07:48] S
    Well,
[07:49] S
    let's stop here.
[08:04] K
    D-Did you hit your head?
[08:06] K
    N-No, it's just years of habit!
[08:12] K
    The footwork was fine,
    but the attack was poor.
[08:15] K
    Guess I can't do the sword skills
    without the system to help me.
[08:20] S
    I was really surprised, though.
[08:22] S
    Have you been practicing?
[08:25] K
    In a way...
[08:26] K
    But it is pretty fun.
[08:29] K
    Maybe I'll take up kendo again.
[08:31] S
    Really? Seriously?
[08:34] K
    Sugu, would you teach me?
[08:36] S
    O-Of course...
[08:38] S
    We can spar together again!
[08:41] K
    When I regain some more muscle.
[08:47] S
    Actually, Brother...
[08:49] S
    I've also...
[08:52] S
    Nope, I think I'll keep it a secret.
[08:54] K
    What?
[09:00] S
    What are you doing today?
[09:04] K
    I'm going to the hospital today...
[09:11] S
    Right.
[09:13] S
    You're going to see her, aren't you?
[09:17] S
    Asuna-san, was it?
[09:19] K
    Yeah, that's all I can do.
[09:26] K
    It's my turn to make breakfast,
[09:30] ---
    so you go take a shower.
[09:33] S
    Yeah.
[09:40] K
    Two months ago, I defeated Heathcliff,
[09:44] K
    and I beat the death game.
[09:48] K
    As soon as I got out,
[09:50] ---
    I traded information about SAO to
    the Ministry of Internal Affair's
[09:54] ---
    SAO Incident Task Force,
    in exchange for Asuna's whereabouts.
[10:06] K
    I learned that Asuna was
[10:09] ---
    being cared for in Saitama, at the
    Tokorozawa General Hospital.
SIGN    Yuuki Asuna
[10:17] K
    And that, including Asuna,
[10:18] K
    approximately three hundred
    players had yet to wake.
[10:29] K
    People believe the still-missing
    Kayaba Akihiko is behind it.
[10:37] K
    The SAO incident hasn't ended yet.
[10:53] K
    Asuna...
[11:03] Dad
    Oh, you're here, Kirigaya-kun.
[11:07] Dad
    Thank you for your support.
[11:09] K
    Hello, sorry to bother you, Yuuki-san.
[11:12] D
    No, come whenever you like.
[11:16] D
    It makes her happy.
[11:25] Su
    President...
[11:28] D
    Oh, you haven't met before, have you?
[11:32] D
    This is our laboratory chief, Sugou-kun.
[11:35] Su
    I'm Sugou Nobuyuki.
[11:37] Su
    Nice to meet you.
[11:39] K
    Kirigaya Kazuto.
[11:42] Su
    Really?
[11:43] Su
    So you're the hero Kirito-kun?
[11:47] D
    Oh, I apologize...
[11:48] D
    We aren't supposed to discuss what
    happened inside the SAO server, right?
[11:53] D
    He's the son of a dear friend.
[11:56] D
    He's always been like family.
[12:00] Su
    Oh, President...
[12:02] Su
    About that,
[12:03] Su
    I'd like to make it official.
[12:08] D
    I see...
[12:10] D
    But are you certain?
[12:12] D
    You're still young.
[12:14] D
    You could start a new life.
[12:16] Su
    My heart has always
    been set on one thing.
[12:20] Su
    I'd like Asuna-san to wear the dress
[12:25] ---
    while she's still beautiful.
[12:29] D
    That's a good point...
[12:32] D
    It might be time to decide.
[12:37] D
    I'm sorry to end our conversation,
    but I have a meeting.
[12:43] D
    We can discuss this another time.
[12:46] D
    Kirigaya-kun,
[12:47] D
    I'll see you again.
[12:59] Su
    I heard that within the game,
[13:01] Su
    you were living with Asuna.
[13:04] K
    Yes...
[13:05] Su
    Then I suppose that complicates
    our relationship.
[13:19] Su
    What we were just discussing
[13:21] Su
    was Asuna's marriage to me.
[13:28] K
    You can't do that...
[13:31] Su
    Indeed.
[13:33] Su
    It can't be done legally.
[13:35] ---
    On paper, I'll simply be adopted
    into the Yuuki family.
[13:42] Su
    You see, she's never actually liked me.
[13:47] Su
    Neither my parents nor hers know that.
[13:49] Su
    But if marriage was ever discussed,
[13:51] ---
    it's likely that she'd reject me.
[13:54] Su
    So this situation is
[13:56] ---
    quite fortunate for me...
[14:00] K
    Stop it.
[14:06] K
    Are you trying to take
    advantage of the fact
[14:09] ---
    that she's in a coma?
[14:11] Su
    Take advantage?
[14:12] Su
    No, this is my right.
[14:17] Su
    Listen, Kirigaya-kun.
[14:21] Su
    Do you know what happened to Argus
[14:24] ---
    after they developed SAO?
[14:26] K
    I heard they went bankrupt.
[14:29] S
    Yes.
[14:31] S
    The development costs,
[14:33] ---
    plus the massive damages
    they were forced to pay,
[14:36] ---
    bankrupted the company.
[14:38] ---
    And the maintenance of the SAO servers
[14:42] ---
    was entrusted to the
    electronics manufacturer Lect,
[14:47] ---
    whose CEO is Yuuki Souzou.
[14:50] S
    And I work for its Full-Dive
    Technology Research Division.
[14:54] S
    You could even say
[14:55] S
    that I'm the one who's
    keeping Asuna alive...
[15:02] S
    So I can ask for a little something
    by way of compensation, can't I?
[15:08] S
    I don't know what sort of promises
    you made to her in the game.
[15:13] S
    But I'd prefer that you never come back.
[15:17] S
    Or have any contact
    with the Yuuki family.
[15:21] S
    The ceremony will be held in this hospital room
    in one week, on January 26th.
[15:27] S
    The Japanese calendar has more
    auspicious days for a wedding,
[15:30] S
    but it's a day that brings misery
    to friends, so I'll invite you.
[15:35] S
    Enjoy your final goodbye,
[15:39] S
    Hero-kun.
[15:47] S
    Brother? The bath's ready.
[15:58] S
    Brother, if you're in
    here, say something.
[16:02] S
    You didn't even turn on the heat.
    What's wrong?
[16:09] K
    Sorry.
[16:10] K
    Could you leave me alone for a while?
[16:13] S
    But it's so cold.
[16:17] S
    Wh-What's wrong?
[16:20] K
    It's nothing.
[16:21] S
    But...
[16:22] S
    You're freezing...
[16:24] S
    You'll get sick.
[16:27] S
    You should take a bath.
[16:31] K
    I'm hopeless.
[16:33] K
    I swore I wouldn't show
[16:36] K
    any weakness around you,
    no matter what happened...
[16:44] S
    Did something happen to her?
    To Asuna-san?
[16:52] K
    She's going to go away...
[16:57] K
    Somewhere I can't ever reach her...
[17:19] S
    Hey, do your best.
[17:22] S
    You can't give up on the
    one you love so easily.
[17:33] S
    I won't lie
[17:37] ---
    to myself anymore, either.
[17:47] H
    I remember it like it was yesterday.
[17:51] H
    When Kazuto told me
[17:52] ---
    he wanted to know about
    his real parents.
[17:57] H
    I was really surprised!
[18:00] H
    He was still ten,
[18:01] H
    but he'd noticed the deleted record on
    the Citizen's Registration Network.
[18:07] S
    Jeez, that sounds just like him.
[18:11] H
    I was so surprised,
    I couldn't keep the secret.
[18:14] H
    So I accidentally told him
[18:16] H
    that my sister and her husband
    were his real parents.
[18:24] S
    Hey, Mom.
[18:26] H
    What?
[18:27] S
    Do you think the fact that he began
    playing online games constantly
[18:30] ---
    ever since he started middle school
[18:34] ---
    is related to that?
[18:36] H
    It isn't.
[18:38] H
    He was already building his own machine
[18:41] ---
    out of junk parts when he was still six.
[18:44] H
    I think he inherited
    my love of computers.
[18:49] H
    At least mentally.
[18:52] H
    Then, I'm heading home.
[18:55] H
    Don't stay here too long, Suguha.
[18:58] S
    Yeah, okay.
[19:05] S
    Happy birthday.
[19:15] S
    I still can't really believe
[19:17] S
    my brother and I are actually cousins.
[19:25] S
    Brother...
[19:53] S
    But your heart...
[20:03] S
    Your heart...
[20:06] S
    belongs to her alone.
[20:19] K
    Hey, wake up, Sugu.
[20:22] K
    It's morning.
[20:31] K
    Wake up...
[20:33] K
    You won't have time
    for morning practice.
[20:42] S
    M-Morning, Brother...
[20:45] K
    Morning.
[20:56] K
    Morning.
[21:05] S
    Um...
[21:07] S
    I...
[21:14] K
    Jeez...
[21:21] S
    Don't give up.
[21:26] K
    Yeah, she's right.
