[00:07] K
    The exit!
[00:27] S
    That took years off my life!
[00:29] K
    It saved time.
[00:31] S
    Honestly...
[00:50] K
    Where will the talks be taking place?
[00:53] S
    Hmm...
[00:55] ---
    Let's see...
[00:57] S
    To the northwest, inside that mountain.
[00:59] {K
    How much time do we have left?
[01:00] S
    Twenty minutes.
[01:02] K
    I hope we make it!

[02:47] K
    I don't know if we'll make it there
    before the Salamanders.
[02:51] S
    Yeah.
[02:52] S
    Even if we can warn them,
    we'll either barely get the leader out,
[02:56] S
    or all die together in battle.
[03:01] Y
    Player signals.
[03:03] Y
    A group of sixty-eight players is ahead.
[03:05] Y
    That's probably the Salamander attack force.
[03:16] Y
    Fourteen more are up ahead.
[03:18] Y
    Most likely the Sylph and
    Cait Sith diplomats.
[03:22] Y
    Fifty seconds until they make contact.
[03:26] S
    We didn't make it in time.
[03:31] S
    Thank you, Kirito-kun.
[03:32] S
    This is far enough.
[03:34] S
    You go to the World Tree.
[03:36] S
    I'm going to save Sakuya.
[03:39] S
    It wasn't for long, but it was fun.
[03:42] ---
    I hope we meet again!
[03:44] K
    Running away isn't really my style.
[03:56] Guys
    Why are Salamanders here?
[04:23] K
    Everyone, put away your swords!
[04:26] E
    Who's that?
[04:28] S
    Sakuya!
[04:30] Sa
    Leafa...
[04:31] Sa
    What are you doing here?
[04:33] S
    It's not easy to explain.
[04:35] S
    But the one thing I can say
[04:37] S
    is that our fates depend on him.
[04:41] Sa
    What is going on?
[04:43] K
    I want to talk to your commander!
[04:54] E
    What's a Spriggan doing here?
[05:01] E
    I'm going to kill you,
    regardless of your answer.
[05:04] ---
    But in honor of your bravery,
    I will speak to you first.
[05:07] K
    My name is Kirito.
[05:09] K
    I'm an ambassador for the
    Spriggan-Undine alliance.
[05:11] K
    If you attack this meeting,
[05:13] ---
    I can assume you desire a full-scale
    war with all four races, correct?
[05:23] E
    An Undine-Spriggan alliance?
[05:26] E
    And you, without a single guard,
    are their ambassador?
[05:30] K
    Yes, that's right.
[05:31] K
    I'm merely here to negotiate trade
    terms with the Sylphs and Cait Sith.
[05:36] K
    But if the talks are disrupted,
    it will be much worse.
[05:40] K
    The four races will ally
    against the Salamanders.
[05:46] E
    You're all alone, wearing horrible gear.
[05:50] E
    You can't expect me to believe you.
[05:55] E
    If you can withstand my
    assault for thirty seconds,
[05:58] ---
    I will believe you are an ambassador.
[06:01] K
    That's generous of you...
[06:03] Sa
    This is bad.
[06:05] Sa
    The Salamander's two-handed sword...
[06:08] Sa
    It's the Demonic Sword Gram.
[06:09] Sa
    I've heard you need a two-handed
    sword skill of 950 to equip it.
[06:13] S
    O-Of 950?!
[06:15] Sa
    Yes.
[06:16] Sa
    If he's using it, he must be General Eugene.
[06:20] Sa
    Do you know him?
[06:21] S
    I-I know the name.
[06:23] Sa
    The younger brother of the
    Salamander leader, Mortimer.
[06:26] Sa
    I've heard they're brothers in real life.
[06:28] Sa
    The elder is a brilliant strategist.
    The younger, a valiant warrior.
[06:31] Sa
    In terms of sheer power, he's said
    to be the game's strongest player!
[06:36] S
    The game's strongest player...
[06:40] S
    Kirito-kun...
[06:59] S
    What was that?
[07:01] L
    The Demonic Sword Gram has a bonus skill,
[07:03] L
    Ethereal Shift, letting it phase
[07:05] L
    when someone tries to block
    with a shield or sword.
[07:09] Sa
    That's insane!
[07:13] E
    I'm amazed you're still alive.
[07:15] K
    What was that attack?
[07:31] K
    That hurts...
[07:33] K
    Hey, it's been thirty seconds by now.
[07:35] E
    Sorry, but I've decided to kill you.
[07:39] E
    Now you have to survive until I kill you.
[07:41] K
    Damn it...
[07:43] K
    I'll show you!
[07:48] Sa
    This will be tough.
[07:49] Sa
    They're equally skilled,
[07:52] Sa
    but Eugene's weapon is far superior.
[07:54] S
    Even so...
[07:57] S
    Even so, Kirito-kun will...
[08:25] S
    What?!
[08:27] K
    I'm going to borrow this.
[08:30] S
    K-Kirito-kun?
[08:35] E
    Was that meant to buy you time?
[08:44] L
    He's gone?
[08:46] Guy
    Did he run away?
[08:48] S
    Of course not!
[08:52] K
    While I'm alive, I won't let
    any party members die.
[09:01] S
    Kirito-kun would never run.
[09:13] S
    Kirito-kun!
[09:40] E
    Die!
[10:20] Sa
    Splendid! Simply splendid!
[10:22] L
    Wow, nice fight!
[10:24] Guys
    Hurrah!
[10:27] Guys
    That was good.
[10:28] Guys
    Seriously.
[11:07] E
    You are an excellent fighter.
[11:10] E
    The best I have ever seen.
[11:13] K
    Thanks.
[11:15] E
    I had no idea there was someone
    like you among the Spriggans.
[11:18] E
    The world is a bigger place
    than I'd thought.
[11:21] K
    Will you believe me, then?
[11:34] Ka
    Gene-san, a word?
[11:36] E
    Kagemune?
[11:37] E
    What is it?
[11:38] S
    Oh, from yesterday.
[11:40] Ka
    I'd prefer not to fight you
    one-on-one, either.
[11:45] Ka
    You know that my party was
    wiped out yesterday, right?
[11:49] E
    Yes.
[11:50] Ka
    This is the Spriggan who did it.
[11:54] Ka
    There was indeed an Undine with him.
[12:02] E
    Very well.
[12:04] Ka
    Then I suppose I must believe it.
[12:07] Ka
    It's true that neither I nor our leader
[12:10] ---
    intends to fight the Undines and Spriggans.
[12:14] Ka
    We'll withdraw for now.
[12:16] Ka
    But someday, I'll fight you again.
[12:18] K
    Sounds good to me.
[12:25] K
    I guess some of the
    Salamanders aren't that bad.
[12:28] S
    You're insane, you know that?
[12:31] K
    I get that a lot.
[12:35] Sa
    Excuse me,
[12:36] Sa
    but could you explain what's happening?
[12:41] Sa
    I see.
[12:43] Sa
    I did sense some degree of
    irritation in Sigurd's attitude.
[12:48] S
    Irritation?
[12:50] S
    At what?
[12:52] Sa
    He probably wasn't able to accept that,
[12:55] ---
    in terms of power, we were falling
    behind the Salamanders.
[13:01] Sa
    Sigurd is a man to whom
    power is very important.
[13:04] Sa
    Not just for his character
    stats and abilities...
[13:07] ---
    He desired power as a player, as well.
[13:11] S
    But even so, why would he
    spy for the Salamanders?
[13:15] Sa
    You've heard about the 5.0 patch
    they'll be releasing soon?
[13:20] Sa
    Apparently, they're finally putting
    in a reincarnation system.
[13:24] S
    Then...
[13:25] Sa
    Mortimer put him up to it.
[13:28] Sa
    Bring us the head of your leader,
[13:30] ---
    and we'll allow you to
    reincarnate as a Salamander.
[13:33] S
    So what will you do, Sakuya?
[13:41] Sa
    Lu, you've raised your
    dark magic skill, right?
[13:44] L
    Yes.
[13:45] Sa
    Open a Moonlight Mirror to Sigurd.
[13:56] Sa
    Sigurd.
[13:58] Si
    S-Sakuya?
[13:59] Sa
    Indeed.
[14:01] Sa
    Unfortunately, I'm still alive.
[14:03] Si
    Why?
[14:03] Si
    I mean, what happened at the meeting?
[14:06] Sa
    It concluded successfully.
[14:08] Sa
    We must still sign the treaty, though.
[14:12] Sa
    Oh, right...
[14:13] Sa
    We had an unexpected guest.
[14:15] Si
    A g-guest?
[14:17] Sa
    General Eugene sends his regards.
[14:24] Si
    Leafa...
[14:25] Si
    So that's it!
[14:26] Si
    Those incompetent lizards.
[14:30] Si
    Well?
[14:31] Si
    What will you do, Sakuya?
[14:33] Si
    Fine me?
[14:34] Si
    Kick me out of the government?
[14:37] Si
    But without me running the military,
[14:40] ---
    how long will your rule last?
[14:42] Sa
    No, if you cannot stand being a Sylph,
[14:45] ---
    I thought I would grant your request.
[14:48] Si
    Wh-What?
[14:53] Si
    Are you insane?!
SIGN    Your leader has stripped you of
    your rights as a Sylph, and banished
    you from your territory.
[14:56] Si
    Me? You're banishing me?
[14:59] Sa
    That's right.
[15:00] Sa
    You can wander the neutral
    territory as a renegade.
[15:03] Sa
    Hopefully, you will find something
    new there to occupy your time.
[15:09] Si
    Curse you...
[15:25] S
    Sakuya?
[15:26] Sa
    I thank you, Leafa.
[15:28] Sa
    I'm very happy you came to save me.
[15:31] S
    I didn't do anything.
[15:33] S
    You should thank Kirito-kun.
[15:36] Sa
    That's true.
[15:37] Sa
    Just who are you?
[15:39] L
    Hey, what you were saying about being
    a Spriggan-Undine ambassador...
[15:44] ---
    Is that true?
[15:51] K
    Oh, that was just a big lie.
[15:53] K
    A bluff, a con, negotiation.
[15:56] Sa
    You're crazy.
[15:58] Sa
    I can't believe you came up with
    that on the spur of the moment.
[16:01] K
    Whenever I have a bad hand,
    I always raise the pot.
[16:06] L
    For a big liar, you're pretty strong.
[16:09] L
    Maybe you're the Spriggans' secret weapon?
[16:13] K
    Of course not.
[16:14] K
    I'm just a wandering mercenary.
[16:21] L
    If you aren't tied down anywhere,
[16:22] ---
    why not be a mercenary for the Cait Sith?
[16:25] L
    You'll get three meals a day,
    plus snacks and a nap.
[16:29] Sa
    Kirito-kun, was it?
[16:31] Sa
    How about you join me for a
    drink after this in Sylvein?
[16:34] Sa
    I'd like to get to know you a little better.
[16:37] S
    Wait...
[16:38] L
    That's not fair, Sakuya-chan!
[16:42] L
    You shouldn't try to seduce him.
[16:44] Sa
    You, too...
[16:46] Sa
    You're clinging to him too much.
[16:52] S
    Stop it.
[16:53] S
    Kirito-kun is my...
[16:57] S
    My...
[17:02] S
    Um, m-my...
[17:11] K
    I appreciate the offers.
[17:13] ---
    But I'm sorry.
[17:15] ---
    She promised to take me
    to the World Tree.
[17:21] Sa
    Oh, that's a shame.
[17:23] Sa
    You're going to Arun, Leafa?
[17:25] Sa
    Sightseeing?
[17:27] Sa
    Or...
[17:28] S
    I was planning to leave the Sylphs...
[17:32] ---
    But now I'm going to return to Sylvein,
[17:35] ---
    although I'm not sure when.
[17:37] Sa
    Understood. I'm glad to hear it.
[17:39] Sa
    Make sure you come back.
[17:41] Sa
    Bring him with you.
[17:42] L
    Stop at my place on the way back.
[17:44] L
    We'll throw you a party.
[17:50] Sa
    Thank you so much for coming today,
[17:52] Sa
    Leafa and Kirito-kun.
[17:55] Sa
    Had we fallen today,
[17:57] ---
    we'd never have caught
    up to the Salamanders.
[18:00] Sa
    I'd like to thank you somehow.
[18:02] K
    No, it was nothing.
[18:04] S
    Hey, Sakuya... Alicia-san.
[18:06] S
    Wasn't the goal of this alliance
    to venture up the World Tree?
SIGN    Cait Sith Territory Capital Fairia Sylph Territory Capital Sylvein
SIGN    World Tree
[18:10] Sa
    Yes, eventually.
[18:13] S
    I'd like you to let us come with you.
[18:17] S
    And as soon as possible!
[18:23] Sa
    I have no objection.
[18:25] Sa
    Actually, we'd be quite grateful.
[18:28] Sa
    But why are you in such a hurry?
[18:34] K
    I came to this world to reach
    the top of the World Tree,
[18:39] ---
    in order to meet someone
    who may be there.
[18:43] Sa
    The Fairy King Oberon?
[18:46] K
    No...
[18:47] K
    I don't think so.
[18:49] K
    It's someone I can't reach in the real world,
[18:53] K
    but I have to see, no matter what.
[18:55] L
    However, it will probably
    take time to prepare
[18:59] ---
    all the raid members' equipment.
[19:01] L
    More than just a day or two...
[19:04] K
    I see...
[19:06] K
    Yeah, you're right.
[19:07] K
    For now, I just want to reach
    the base of the tree,
[19:12] K
    and we'll work out the rest ourselves.
[19:14] K
    Oh, right.
[19:17] K
    Could you use this to increase
    your war chest?
[19:26] L
    S-Sakuya-chan! Look!
[19:31] Sa
    All these 100,000 Yuld mithril pieces!
[19:34] Sa
    Are you certain about this?
[19:36] Sa
    With this money, you could build
    a castle on prime land.
[19:38] K
    I don't mind.
[19:39] K
    I don't need it anymore.
[19:41] L
    This will get us really close
    to the amount we need.
[19:45] Sa
    We'll ready our equipment
    as quickly as we can.
[19:48] Sa
    And when we're set, we'll call you.
[19:50] K
    Thank you.
[19:55] L
    Thanks!
[19:56] L
    See you soon!
[20:03] S
    It kind of feels like none
    of that really happened.
[20:12] Y
    Honestly...
[20:14] Y
    I told you no cheating, Daddy.
[20:18] K
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[20:20] K
    When those two leaders were clinging
    to you, your heart was pounding.
[20:23] K
    W-Well, I'm a guy...
[20:27] Y
    Seriously.
[20:28] S
    H-Hey, Yui-chan,
[20:30] S
    am I not a problem?
[20:32] Y
    It looks like you're okay.
[20:34] S
    Wh-Why?
[20:39] K
    Because you don't really seem like a girl.
[20:43] S
    Wait... Hey.
[20:45] S
    What does that mean?!
[20:47] K
    I mean you're easy to get along with...
[20:50] K
    In a good way... Yeah.
[20:52] K
    Now, let's get going to Arun!
[20:55] K
    The sun will set!
