**[00:02] Y**
Mommy...
**[00:04] Y**
Mommy is
**[00:06] Y**
here.
**[00:09] K**
You're sure?
**[00:10] Y**
I'm certain.
**[00:11] Y**
This player ID belongs to Mommy.
**[00:15] Y**
The coordinates are right above us!
**[00:22] S**
Kirito-kun!
**[00:24] S**
Wait!
**[00:26] S**
Kirito-kun!
**[00:31] S**
*Kirito-kun, what's wrong?*
**[00:35] S**
*The person at the top of the World Tree*
**[00:37] ---**
*is that important to you?*
**[00:42] S**
Be careful, Kirito-kun!
**[00:44] S**
You're about to hit the barrier!
**[00:51] S**
Kirito-kun!
**[00:55] S**
No!
**[01:00] S**
Stop it, Kirito-kun.
**[01:01] S**
It's impossible!
**[01:03] S**
You can't get any higher from here!
**[01:05] K**
I must go!
**[01:08] K**
I have to go...
**[01:12] Y**
Mommy,
**[01:13] Y**
it's me.
**[01:17] Y**
Mommy!
***SIGN*** Grand Quest
**[03:19] Y**
Mommy...
**[03:28] Y**
Mommy.
**[03:30] A**
Yui-chan?
**[03:32] A**
Is that you?
**[03:33] Y**
Mommy! Mommy!
**[03:35] Y**
I'm right here.
**[03:39] A**
I'm up here...
**[03:43] A**
I'm right here, Yui-chan!
**[03:48] A**
Kirito-kun!
**[03:56] A**
*Anything...*
**[03:58] A**
*Is there anything I could drop down there?*
**[04:05] K**
What is this?
**[04:08] Y**
I tried to use Warning Mode
to contact her, but...
**[04:21] K**
What's that?
**[04:29] K**
A card?
**[04:31] K**
Leafa, do you know what this is?
**[04:33] S**
No, I've never seen an item like that.
**[04:40] K**
No window, huh?
**[04:43] Y**
This...
**[04:45] Y**
This is a System Admin access code.
**[04:48] K**
Then can we use it to access the GM controls?
**[04:52] Y**
No...
**[04:54] Y**
You need the appropriate console
**[04:57] ---**
to access it from within the game.
**[05:00] Y**
Even I can't bring up the system menu.
**[05:03] K**
I see.
**[05:06] K**
However,
**[05:06] K**
something like this wouldn't just
fall from the sky for no reason.
**[05:11] K**
This is probably...
**[05:12] A**
Yes!
**[05:14] A**
Mommy heard us and dropped it.
**[05:26] K**
*Asuna...*
**[05:34] K**
Leafa, tell me something.
**[05:36] K**
Where is the gate that leads
inside the World Tree?
**[05:41] S**
Well, it's in the dome at the tree's base...
**[05:45] S**
B-But you can't get in!
**[05:47] S**
It's protected by guardians,
**[05:48] ---**
and even the biggest raids
couldn't break through!
**[05:51] K**
I have to go anyway...
**[05:57] K**
Thank you so much
**[05:59] K**
for everything.
**[06:01] K**
I'll go the rest of the way alone.
**[06:28] S**
Kirito-kun...
**[06:38] BystanderGirl**
Then let's go.
**[06:39] Guy**
Yeah.
**[06:41] Guy**
Wh-What?
**[06:42] Guy**
Is this an event?
**[06:45] K**
Yui, do you know the way to this dome?
**[06:48] Y**
Yes, just go up those stairs and...
**[06:54] Y**
B-But are you sure, Daddy?
**[06:57] Y**
The information we've learned so far
**[07:00] ---**
indicates that breaking in through the
gate will be extremely difficult.
**[07:04] K**
Our only choice is to try.
**[07:06] K**
Even if we fail, it won't cost our lives.
**[07:09] Y**
That's true, but...
**[07:13] K**
And if I have to waste another
second just standing around,
**[07:16] ---**
I'm going to go insane.
**[07:20] K**
And you want
**[07:21] K**
to see Mommy soon, right?
**[07:24] Y**
Yes.
**[08:00] SpookyVoice**
You who know not the heights of heaven...
**[08:04] SpookyVoice**
Do you desire passage to the castle of the king?
***SIGN*** Will you attempt the Grand Quest "Guardians of the World Tree"?
**[08:09] K**
*I'm coming, Asuna.*
**[08:12] K**
*I'm almost there.*
**[08:14] SpookyVoice**
Then show that you are worthy of
letting your wings take flight.
**[08:30] K**
Let's go, Yui.
**[08:31] K**
Keep your head down.
**[08:33] Y**
Good luck, Daddy.
**[09:26] K**
Go!
**[09:38] K**
Out of the way!
**[09:48] K**
*I can do this!*
**[10:25] K**
*Down you go.*
**[10:28] K**
*Down, damn it!*
**[11:27] K**
*Asuna! Asuna...*
**[11:30] K**
*Asuna...*
**[11:32] K**
*Asuna... Asuna...*
**[11:34] K**
*Asuna! Asu—*
**[11:58] K**
*Just...*
**[11:59] K**
*Just a little more...*
**[12:26] K**
*Just a little more...*
**[12:42] K**
*I...*
**[12:46] K**
*I...*
***SIGN*** Resurrection Timer
**[12:49] K**
*died?*
**[12:55] K**
*Somewhere in my heart,*
**[12:58] ---**
*I believed this world was just a game.*
**[13:04] K**
*Is this my punishment for that?*
**[13:09] K**
*My strength is nothing*
**[13:11] K**
*but skills and status effects.*
***SIGN*** Resurrection Timer
**[13:18] K**
*But I thought I could overcome*
**[13:21] ---**
*the rules and limits of the game,*
**[13:23] K**
*and do anything.*
**[14:11] K**
*A game where you can die is too easy.*
**[14:20] K**
*Asuna...*
**[14:33] K**
*No...*
**[14:34] K**
*Stay back!*
**[14:55] S**
Kirito-kun!
**[15:52] S**
Kirito-kun...
***SIGN*** Spirit's Tear

**[16:14] S**
Kirito-kun...
**[16:27] K**
Thank you, Leafa.
**[16:29] S**
I d-didn't...
**[16:30] K**
But don't do things like that.
**[16:33] K**
I'm fine.
**[16:36] K**
I don't want to cause you any more trouble.
**[16:38] S**
Trouble?!
**[16:40] S**
I...
**[16:46] S**
Kirito-kun?
**[16:48] S**
W-Wait!
**[16:49] S**
You can't do it alone!
**[16:53] K**
You may be right...
**[16:55] S**
I am right, so...
**[16:57] K**
But I have to go.
**[17:02] S**
Stop...
**[17:03] S**
Just stop this.
**[17:05] S**
Go back to being your normal self.
**[17:08] S**
I...
**[17:10] S**
I...
**[17:12] S**
To me, you're...
**[17:17] K**
Leafa...
**[17:21] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[17:24] K**
If I don't make it up there, nothing will end.
**[17:27] K**
And nothing will begin.
**[17:29] K**
I have to see her again...
**[17:33] K**
I have to see Asuna again.
**[17:38] S**
What...
**[17:39] ---**
What did you just say?
**[17:41] K**
Right, Asuna.
***SIGN*** Yuuki Asuna
**[17:45] K**
That's the name of the person I'm looking for.
**[17:48] S**
But then...
**[17:53] S**
Then...
**[17:55] S**
That's...
**[18:08] S**
Is that you, Brother?
**[18:15] K**
Sugu?
**[18:17] K**
Suguha?
**[18:21] K**
This is awful.
**[18:22] K**
This isn't fair...
**[18:24] K**
It isn't...
**[18:25] K**
S-Sugu?
***SIGN*** Are you sure you want to log out?
**[18:28] K**
Sugu!
**[19:08] K**
Sugu, are you there?
**[19:10] S**
Don't!
**[19:12] S**
Don't open the door.
**[19:14] S**
Leave me alone...
**[19:18] K**
What's wrong, Sugu?
**[19:20] K**
I mean, I was surprised, too.
**[19:23] K**
If you're mad that I'm using the
NerveGear again, I apologize.
**[19:27] K**
But I didn't have a choice.
**[19:30] S**
No...
**[19:32] S**
That isn't it.
**[19:35] S**
That isn't...
**[19:39] K**
Sugu?
**[19:41] S**
I... I...
**[19:45] S**
I...
**[19:47] S**
I betrayed my own heart!
**[19:49] S**
I betrayed my love for you...
**[19:54] S**
I was about to forget it, to give it up.
**[19:56] S**
To fall in love with Kirito-kun...
**[19:59] S**
No, I already had!
**[20:02] S**
But...
**[20:04] S**
But...
**[20:06] K**
L-Love?
**[20:08] K**
But we're...
**[20:10] S**
I know.
**[20:11] S**
I already know!
**[20:14] S**
You and I aren't really siblings!
**[20:18] S**
I've known for
**[20:19] S**
the last two years.
**[20:23] S**
Wasn't the reason you quit kendo
**[20:25] ---**
and started avoiding me
**[20:27] ---**
because you knew the whole time?
**[20:31] S**
Weren't you avoiding me
because I'm not your real sister?!
**[20:34] S**
So...
**[20:36] S**
So why are you being nice to me now?!
**[20:41] S**
I was so happy you came back from SAO.
**[20:47] S**
I was so happy you were being nice to me,
**[20:51] ---**
like when we were little.
**[20:53] S**
I thought you were finally giving me a chance.
**[20:58] S**
But...
**[21:00] S**
If I'd known
**[21:01] ---**
this would happen, I wish
you'd kept being a jerk.
**[21:05] S**
If you had,
**[21:07] S**
I wouldn't have realized I like you...
**[21:10] S**
Or been sad to learn about Asuna-san...
**[21:14] S**
Or tried to fall in love with Kirito-kun instead!
**[21:24] K**
I'm sorry.
**[21:33] S**
Leave me alone...
**[22:03] K**
Sugu...
