    The center of ALfheim,
    the biggest city in the world.

[01:12] S
    Let's log out at an inn.
[01:15] ---
    Yeah...
[01:18] K
    Well, let's find an inn.
[01:20] K
    I blew all my cash, so nowhere too pricey.
[01:24] S
    That's because you were showing off
    by giving all your money to Sakuya.
[01:29] S
    You should have saved money for an inn.
[01:34] S
    You heard your dad.
[01:35] S
    Is there a cheap inn nearby?
[01:38] Y
    Hmm...
[01:40] Y
    There's a super-cheap one down there.
[01:43] S
    S-Super-cheap, huh?
[01:46] K
    Let's go.

[03:44] A
    That's...
[04:23] K
    Morning, Sugu.
[04:25] S
    Morning, Brother.
[04:30] K
    You look really sleepy.
[04:32] K
    When did you get to bed last night?
[04:34] S
    Let's see... Four, I think?
[04:37] K
    A kid shouldn't stay up that late.
[04:41] K
    What were you doing?
[04:43] S
    I guess I was on the Internet...
[04:48] K
    Don't spend too much time on it.
[04:51] K
    Not that I should talk.
[04:55] K
    Hey, Sugu.
[04:56] K
    Turn around.
[04:58] K
    Just do it.
[05:01] S
    Like this?
[05:19] A
    How far does this go?
[05:35] A
    Is this a map?
[05:39] A
    Somewhere...
[05:42] ---
    Somewhere there's a console
    where I can log out.
[05:50] A
    Experiment?
[06:06] S
    Brother, you should buy me a green tea shaved ice
    and a raspberry parfait to apologize.
[06:11] S
    Be sure to, okay?
[06:13] K
    Sure.
[06:14] S
    Okay, then.
[06:16] S
    Then want to get it today?
[06:20] K
    I have to do something in the afternoon.
[06:23] K
    And I'm planning to go
    to the hospital this morning.
[06:27] S
    Oh...
[06:31] S
    Hey, Brother...
[06:33] S
    Could I come with you?
[06:38] K
    Oh, sure.
[06:41] K
    I'm sure Asuna will be happy.
[06:43] S
    Yeah.
[06:46] S
    All right, let's eat!
[07:17] ---
    This is...
[07:18] Su
    By expanding the brain's control regions,
[07:21] ---
    it's possible it could control
    thought, emotion, even memory.
[07:31] Su
    They're suffering!
[07:35] Su
    All of these?
[07:41] Su
    Awful...
[07:43] Su
    How awful!
[07:51] Su
    He won't get away with this.
[07:54] Su
    No, I won't let him!
[07:57] Su
    Just wait a little.
[07:58] Su
    I'll save you, okay?
[08:03] Tentacles
    Now, how's it going?
[08:07] Tentacles
    He's having another dream of Spica-chan.
[08:10] Tentacles
    The B-13 and B-14 fields are off the scale.
[08:13] Tentacles
    Same with 16.
[08:15] Tentacles
    High excitement.
[08:17] Tentacles
    Sure it isn't a coincidence?
[08:19] Tentacles
    It's only happened three times.
[08:21] Tentacles
    No, it's due to the emotional
    inducement circuits.
[08:24] Tentacles
    If it's happening at this rate,
    he's over the threshold.
[08:29] Tentacles
    For now, we'll put him on the list
    for continuous monitoring.

[08:33] S
    Hey, Brother, what about school?
[08:36] K
    School?
[08:37] S
    Weren't you supposed to start
    high school last year?
[08:42] K
    Well...
[08:44] K
    They said something about
    using one of the city schools
[08:48] ---
    that shut down as a special school
[08:51] ---
    for the students from SAO.
[08:55] Voice
    Now departing.
[08:56] K
    You can get in without any exams,
[08:58] ---
    and if you graduate, they'll let you
    take the test for university.
[09:02] S
    Oh, I see.
[09:04] S
    That sounds like a good deal...
[09:08] S
    But they'll be putting lots of
    different students together.
[09:12] K
    We all spent
[09:14] K
    two years trapped within a deadly game.
[09:18] K
    They don't know what it did to our minds.
[09:21] ---
    Maybe they want to observe us.
[09:23] S
    Seriously?
[09:25] K
    But if I wanted to attend a
    normal high school now,
[09:29] ---
    I'd have to spend the whole
    year at cram school.
[09:34] K
    But if I wanted that, I'm sure
    I'd have that choice.
[09:38] S
    I'm sure you'd do fine.
[09:41] S
    Your grades are good.
[09:43] K
    "Were." Past tense.
[09:45] K
    I haven't studied for two years.
[09:47] S
    I could be your tutor!
[09:51] K
    Then maybe you'll help me with math
    and information processing.
[10:08] A
    That's...
[10:12] A
    A system console?
[10:17] A
    Good, they haven't seen me yet.
[10:29] A
    Please!

    This is it!

[10:52] S
    What a big hospital.
[10:54] K
    It's amazing inside, too.
[10:56] K
    Like a hotel.
[11:16] S
    "Yuuki Asuna-san."
[11:19] S
    Her character shared her real name.
[11:21] S
    Not many people do that.
[11:24] K
    You know a lot about it...
[11:27] K
    Asuna's the only one I've
    ever known to do that.
[11:36] K
    I'll introduce you.
[11:37] K
    This is Asuna.
[11:39] K
    Vice Commander of the
    Knights of the Blood Oath,
[11:41] K
    Lightning Flash Asuna.
[11:43] K
    I never was able to match her
    sword speed or accuracy.
[11:48] K
    Asuna, this is my sister, Suguha.
[11:52] S
    N-Nice to meet you, Asuna-san.

[12:06] Tentacles
    Who are you?
[12:07] Tentacles
    What are you doing here?
[12:12] A
    Hey, put me down.
[12:14] A
    I'm a friend of Sugou-san.
[12:17] A
    He was letting me look around.
[12:19] A
    I'm leaving now.
[12:21] Tentacles
    No one notified me about this.
[12:24] Tentacles
    What about you?
[12:26] Tentacles
    Nothing.
[12:27] Tentacles
    He wouldn't want outsiders seeing this anyway.
[12:32] Tentacles
    Wait a second.
[12:34] Tentacles
    You're that girl
[12:35] ---
    Sugou-chan keeps at the
    top of the World Tree.
[12:39] Tentacles
    I've heard about that.
[12:42] Tentacles
    It's so unfair that the boss
[12:45] ---
    gets to have all the fun with the cute girl.
[12:49] Tentacles
    Come on, keep still.
[12:52] A
    Stop it!
[12:52] A
    Let me go, monster!
[12:54] Tentacles
    That's so mean...
[12:56] Tentacles
    We're in the midst of an experiment
    on deep-sense mapping.
[13:00] A
    You're scientists, aren't you?
[13:02] A
    You aren't ashamed,
[13:04] ---
    participating in this illegal,
    unethical experiment?
[13:10] Tentacles
    I think it's more ethical
[13:12] Tentacles
    than sticking electrical probes
    into an exposed animal brain.
[13:15] Tentacles
    They're all just dreaming.
[13:19] Tentacles
    That's right.
[13:21] Tentacles
    Sometimes, we show them
    the most wonderful dreams.
[13:25] Tentacles
    I wish I could have them.
[13:29] A
    You're insane.
[13:31] Tentacles
    The boss is on a trip, right?
[13:33] Tentacles
    Get back to the other side,
    and see what he wants us to do.
[13:36] Tentacles
    Fine...
[13:38] Tentacles
    Hey, don't have any fun while I'm gone.
[13:41] Tentacles
    Got it, got it.
[13:43] Tentacles
    Get going.
[13:50] A
    Release me!
[13:51] A
    Let me go!
[13:52] A
    Let me out!
[13:53] Tentacles
    I can't!
[13:54] Tentacles
    The boss would kill me!
[13:56] Tentacles
    Just forget it.
[13:58] Tentacles
    Why don't we enjoy some electro-drugs?
[14:00] Tentacles
    I'm sick of dolls.
[14:08] A
    Stop it!
[14:10] A
    What are you doing?
[14:13] A
    Stop...
[14:24] Tentacles
    Stop!
[14:25] Tentacles
    Fine! Fine...
[14:29] Tentacles
    I forgot I turned off the pain observer.
[14:33] Tentacles
    What are you doing?
[14:35] Tentacles
    Nothing.
[14:37] Tentacles
    What did the boss say?
[14:39] Tentacles
    He was pissed.
[14:41] Tentacles
    He said to return her to the birdcage
    above the lab, change the pass,
[14:45] ---
    and keep an eye on her 24/7.
[14:47] Tentacles
    And I was just about to have some fun...
[14:51] Tentacles
    Let's at least walk her back
    instead of teleporting her.
[14:54] Tentacles
    I want to enjoy this feeling a little more.
[14:57] Tentacles
    You're having fun, aren't you?
[15:02] Tentacles
    Come on, no more struggling.
[15:07] Tentacles
    Stay put.
[15:07] A
    I said release me!
[15:10] S
    She's so pretty.
[15:12] S
    It's a shame that she's still asleep.
[15:19] S
    Maybe I shouldn't have come.
[15:23] S
    I don't know how I feel.
[15:28] S
    I thought if I met Asuna-san, I'd know.
[15:32] S
    However,
[15:34] S
    do I want to be a good sister?
[15:40] S
    Or do I...
[16:00] S
    Brother.
[16:08] Tentacles
    Bye.
[16:09] Tentacles
    Let's play again if we have the chance.
[16:18] A
    I won't lose, Kirito-kun.
[16:22] A
    I will never give up.
[16:24] A
    I will escape this place!
[16:43] K
    Leafa?
[16:48] K
    What's wrong, Leafa?
[16:52] S
    Um...
[16:54] S
    Um, Kirito-kun...
[16:57] S
    I... I...
[17:00] S
    I have a broken heart...
[17:06] S
    I'm sorry,
[17:08] S
    saying all this to someone I just met.
[17:11] S
    It's against etiquette to bring
    real world problems here.
[17:17] K
    Whether here or in the real world,
    you can cry when it hurts.
[17:22] K
    There's no rule
[17:23] ---
    that you can't show feelings
    just because it's a game.
[17:27] S
    Kirito-kun...
[17:33] S
    I'm in love with my brother.
[17:36] S
    But I can't share those feelings.
[17:42] S
    I have to bury them deep in my heart.
[17:46] S
    So that I can forget them someday.
[17:59] S
    I'm okay.
[18:01] S
    Thanks, Kirito-kun.
[18:05] S
    You're nice, you know?
[18:07] K
    People often say the exact
    opposite about me.
[18:11] K
    Want to log off for today?
[18:13] K
    I think I can make it the
    rest of the way myself.
[18:16] S
    No...
[18:17] S
    I've come this far.
[18:19] S
    I'll go the rest of the way.
[18:24] S
    Now, let's go.
[18:33] K
    Yui, you here?
[18:39] K
    Good morning, Daddy and Leafa-san.
[18:42] S
    Morning, Yui-chan.
[18:44] S
    Hey, I was wondering yesterday...
[18:47] S
    Do Navi-Pixies sleep at night?
[18:50] Y
    Of course not.
[18:51] Y
    But when Daddy's not here,
[18:53] ---
    I shut down my input circuits,
    and process accumulated data.
[18:57] Y
    It could be similar to human sleep.
[19:01] S
    But you just yawned...
[19:03] Y
    That's what humans do during
    their boot-up sequence, right?
[19:07] Y
    On average, Daddy's last for eight seconds.
[19:10] K
    You don't have to be strange.
[19:14] K
    Let's head out.
[19:15] S
    Yeah.
[19:20] S
    There are tons of people here.
[19:22] K
    I guess it really is the center of ALfheim.
[19:25] S
    It seems that all the fairy races from
    around the continent are here.
[19:51] K
    That's the World Tree.
[19:57] S
    Yeah.
[19:58] S
    Seeing it up close, it's amazing.
[20:02] K
    Isn't there a city up there?
[20:06] K
    And also...
[20:07] S
    The Fairy King Oberon lives there
    with the light fairies, the Alf.
[20:12] S
    And they say the first race to meet
    with the king will become Alfs.
[20:17] K
    You can't climb up it?
[20:20] S
    The area around the trunk is off-limits,
[20:24] ---
    so you can't climb it.
[20:26] S
    And your wings' flight limit would expire
[20:29] ---
    long before you'd make it up.
[20:31] K
    I heard that a bunch of people
[20:34] ---
    passed the limit by launching
    off each other's shoulders...
[20:37] S
    Oh, you heard about that.
[20:39] S
    They made it close to the branches.
[20:43] S
    But the GMs freaked out and patched it.
[20:47] S
    Now there's a wall just above the clouds.
[20:51] K
    I see...
[20:53] K
    Let's head to the trunk for now.
[20:56] S
    Yeah, got it.
[21:17] S
    Once you pass through that gate,
    you're at the world's heart,
[21:20] S
    the central district of Arun.
[21:32] K
    Hey, Yui.
[21:33] K
    What's wrong?
[21:35] Y
    Mommy...
[21:38] Y
    Mommy is
[21:40] Y
    here.
[21:42] K
    You're sure?
[21:44] Y
    I'm certain.
[21:45] Y
    This player ID belongs to Mommy.
[21:48] Y
    The coordinates are right above us!
[21:56] S
    Kirito-kun!
[21:58] S
    Wait!
