[00:00] Girl
    What?
[00:02] Girl
    You've got that lizard to heal you.
SIGN    February 23, 2024 Floor 35: Lost Forest
[00:06] Girl
    You don't need any heal crystals.
[00:09] Silica
    What about you?
[00:11] ---
    You never fight from the front.
[00:12] ---
    So do you need crystals?
[00:14] Girl
    Of course I do...
[00:16] Girl
    I'm not a child idol like you, Silica-chan,
[00:18] Girl
    so boys won't heal me.
[00:22] Guys
    C-Come on, you two...
[00:24] S
    Fine!
[00:26] S
    I don't need the items.
[00:27] S
    I won't be partying with you anymore.
[00:30] S
    There are plenty of parties that want me.
[00:34] Guy
    Hey, Silica-chan!
SIGN    The Black Swordsman
[02:34] S
    I don't have any healing items?!
[02:53] S
    Pina!
[02:54] S
    Pina... Pina!
[02:57] S
    Pina.
[03:00] S
    Pina...
[03:04] S
    Pina...
[03:06] S
    Pina!
[03:07] S
    Pina... Pina!
[03:42] S
    Pina...
[03:44] S
    Don't leave me alone.
[03:48] S
    Pina!
[03:53] K
    What's that feather?
[03:56] S
    It's Pina.
[03:58] S
    My partner...
[04:01] K
    You're a beast tamer?
[04:04] K
    I'm sorry...
[04:06] K
    I wasn't able to save your friend.
[04:09] S
    No...
[04:10] S
    I was being stupid.
[04:12] S
    I was stupid to think I could make it
    through the forest on my own.
[04:18] S
    Thank you for saving me.
[04:21] K
    Does that feather
[04:22] K
    happen to have an item name?
SIGN    Pina's Heart
[04:34] K
    Don't cry.
[04:35] K
    If Pina's heart is still here,
    you can revive her.
[04:40] S
    Really?
[04:43] K
    On the south side of Floor 47,
[04:45] K
    there's a field dungeon
    called the Hill of Memories.
[04:48] K
    I've heard that the flower that
    blooms at its top can revive a pet.
[04:55] S
    Floor 47...
[04:58] K
    If you gave me the GP, I'd go for you...
[05:02] K
    But if the pet's owner isn't there,
    the flower won't bloom.
[05:07] S
    That information is enough.
[05:09] S
    If I work hard to raise my level,
    then someday...
[05:12] K
    They can only be revived for
    three days after death.
[05:16] S
    No...
[05:18] S
    It's my fault.
[05:21] S
    I'm so sorry, Pina.
[05:24] K
    Don't worry.
[05:25] K
    You have three days.
[05:28] K
    This equipment should be worth
    a good five or six levels.
[05:32] K
    If I go with you, it'll work out.
[05:37] S
    Why would you do all this for me?
[05:43] K
    If you promise not to laugh, I'll tell you.
[05:47] S
    I promise.
[05:51] K
    It's because you look like my little sister...
[06:03] S
    I'm sorry.
[06:06] S
    Um, I'm sure this isn't anywhere
    near enough to pay, but...
[06:10] K
    No, it's okay.
[06:12] K
    This isn't entirely incompatible
    with my reason for being here.
[06:16] S
    I'm Silica.
[06:18] K
    I'm Kirito.
[06:19] K
    We won't be together long,
[06:21] K
    but it's nice to meet you.
SIGN    Floor 35: Mishe
[06:30] Guy
    There's Silica-chan!
[06:33] Guy
    You're late!
[06:34] Guy
    We were worried!
[06:36] S
    U-Um...
[06:37] Guy
    Let's party up sometime!
[06:38] Guy
    We can go wherever you want.
[06:40] S
    That's very kind of you, but...
[06:45] S
    I'll be in a party with him for a while.
[06:51] S
    Sorry.
[06:55] S
    I apologize for that.
[06:58] K
    Your fans?
[07:00] K
    You must be popular.
[07:01] S
    No...
[07:03] ---
    They just want me along as a mascot.
[07:09] S
    But I got full of myself when
    they began to call me
[07:14] ---
    Dragon Tamer Silica...
[07:15] K
    Don't worry.
[07:19] K
    We'll make it in time.
[07:22] S
    Right!
[07:26] S
    Where do you live?
[07:28] K
    On Floor 50.
[07:29] ---
    But that's pretty far.
    Maybe I'll just stay here.
[07:33] S
    Really?
[07:34] S
    The cheesecake is really good here.
[07:37] Girl
    Oh, if it isn't Silica.
[07:41] Girl
    You made it out of the forest.
[07:43] Girl
    I'm relieved.
[07:45] K
    Is something wrong?
[07:46] S
    No, nothing.
[07:48] K
    Huh?
[07:49] K
    What happened to the lizard?
[07:51] K
    Could something...
[07:53] S
    Pina died.
[07:55] S
    But I'm definitely bringing her back!
[07:58] S
    Then you're going to the
    Hill of Memories...
[08:02] S
    But at your level, will you
    be able to clear it?
[08:06] K
    She will.
[08:07] K
    It isn't that hard.
[08:10] S
    You're another one she's seduced?
[08:13] S
    You don't look particularly strong to me.
[08:17] K
    Let's go.
[08:22] S
    Why is she so mean?
[08:25] K
    Is SAO your first MMO?
[08:29] S
    Yes.
[08:30] K
    In any online game,
[08:31] ---
    a lot of people's personalities change.
[08:34] K
    Some enjoy playing as outright villains.
[08:37] K
    Our player indicators are green, right?
[08:40] K
    However, if you commit a crime,
    the indicator will turn orange.
[08:44] K
    The worst criminals, player killers,
[08:47] ---
    those who've killed someone,
[08:49] ---
    are known as red players.
[08:52] S
    You mean murderers?
[08:53] K
    In any other game,
[08:55] ---
    they could've had fun while role
    playing as the bad guy.
[08:58] K
    However, Sword Art Online is different.
[09:03] K
    This game isn't really a game at all.
[09:07] S
    Kirito-san...
[09:10] K
    I'm sorry.
[09:15] S
    You're a good person!
[09:16] S
    You saved me!
[09:20] K
    Seems like you've cheered me up instead.
[09:23] K
    Thanks, Silica.
[09:28] S
    Our cheesecake is late!
[09:32] S
    Excuse me, our dessert
    hasn't arrived yet...
[09:41] S
    If I told him I wanted to talk a little more,
[09:44] ---
    would he laugh at me?
[09:46] K
    Silica, are you still up?
[09:49] S
    K-Kirito-san?
[09:50] K
    I forgot that I had more to
    tell you about Floor 47...
[09:54] K
    Want to go over it tomorrow?
[09:55] S
    It's fine.
[09:56] ---
    I was just thinking about that...
[10:02] S
    That was close.
[10:07] K
    Silica, is something wrong?
[10:09] S
    No, it's nothing.
[10:11] S
    What's that item, Kirito-san?
[10:14] K
    It's called a mirage sphere.
[10:24] S
    It's so pretty!
[10:26] S
    Here's Floor 47's town area.
[10:29] S
    And this is the Hill of Memories.
[10:31] S
    So we'll be following this route...
[10:35] S
    Kirito—
[10:36] K
    Who's there?
[10:40] S
    What was that?
[10:42] K
    They heard us.
[10:43] S
    But unless you've knocked,
    you can't hear through a door...
[10:48] K
    It's different if your listening
    skill is high enough.
[10:50] K
    But few people invest
    the time to raise it.
[10:53] S
    Why would they want
    to listen in on us?
SIGN    February 24, 2024 Floor 47: Floria
[11:08] S
    It's like a dream!
[11:10] K
    This floor is known as the Flower Garden.
[11:13] K
    The entire level is covered in flowers.
[11:25] S
    This is...
[11:33] K
    Silica?
[11:34] S
    Yes!
[11:35] S
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[11:36] K
    What's wrong?
[11:37] S
    Ah, nothing at all...
[11:39] K
    Let's go.
[11:41] S
    Right...
[11:46] S
    What's this?
[11:47] K
    If anything unexpected happens,
    and I tell you to warp out,
[11:52] K
    use this crystal to jump to any town.
[11:55] S
    But...
[11:56] K
    Promise me.
[11:59] S
    All right.
[12:02] K
    Okay, let's get going.
[12:04] K
    This path leads to the Hill of Memories.
[12:17] S
    Um, Kirito-san...
[12:28] K
    Calm down, Silica!
[12:29] K
    It's really weak!
[12:30] S
    K-Kirito-san, save me!
[12:33] S
    Don't look, but save me!
[12:34] K
    That's impossible.
[12:37] S
    S-Stupid thing...
[12:38] S
    That's enough!
[12:55] S
    Did you see?
[12:58] K
    No, I didn't.
[13:01] S
    Kirito-san,
[13:03] S
    could I ask you about your sister?
[13:06] K
    Why now, all of a sudden?
[13:07] S
    You said I look like her.
[13:11] S
    I know it's impolite to ask
    about the real world.
[13:14] S
    But would it be okay?
[13:16] K
    I called her my little sister,
[13:18] ---
    but she's actually my cousin.
[13:21] K
    We grew up together,
    so I don't think she knows.
[13:26] K
    Maybe that's why...
[13:28] ---
    I've been distancing myself from her.
[13:31] K
    Our grandfather's really strict.
[13:33] K
    When I was eight, he made us
    attend a local kendo dojo.
[13:38] K
    I stopped after two years.
[13:40] K
    My grandfather beat me up.
[13:42] S
    That's terrible...
[13:44] K
    So my sister said
[13:46] ---
    that she'd put in enough
    effort for both of us,
[13:48] ---
    and to stop hitting me.
[13:51] K
    She worked really hard after that,
[13:52] ---
    and made it to the nationals.
[13:55] S
    That's amazing.
[13:58] K
    But I always felt bad about it.
[14:01] K
    Like maybe she would rather have been doing something else,
[14:06] K
    and secretly holds it against me.
[14:08] K
    So it's possible that I'm helping you because
    it feels like a way to atone to my sister.
[14:13] K
    I'm sorry.
[14:15] S
    I don't think that your sister hates you.
[14:19] S
    You can't work that hard
    for someone who you don't like.
[14:23] S
    I'm sure that she really loves kendo!
[14:27] K
    You keep reassuring me.
[14:31] K
    Maybe you're right.
[14:32] K
    I hope so.
[14:36] S
    Okay...
[14:37] S
    I'll do my best, too!
[14:44] S
    Kirito-san...
[14:51] S
    Ow!
[15:00] S
    The flower of revival is here?
[15:03] K
    Yeah, if I remember...
[15:28] K
    Take it.
SIGN    Pneuma Flower
[15:36] S
    This will bring Pina back, right?
[15:38] K
    Yeah.
[15:39] S
    I'm so glad...
[15:41] K
    But there are lots of strong
    monsters around here.
[15:44] K
    Let's revive her after
    we get back to town.
[15:46] K
    I'm sure
[15:47] K
    she'd prefer it that way.
[15:48] ---
    Yeah.
[15:56] K
    Kirito-san?
[15:57] K
    Whoever's behind those trees,
[15:59] K
    come out.
[16:04] S
    R-Rosalia-san?
[16:06] R
    If you can see through my hiding skill,
[16:08] ---
    your detection skill must be
    quite high, Swordsman.
[16:11] R
    It appears you managed to
    get the Pneuma Flower.
[16:17] R
    Congratulations.
[16:18] R
    Now hand it over.
[16:21] S
    W-What are you talking about?
[16:23] K
    That isn't going to happen, Rosalia-san.
[16:26] K
    Or should I say
[16:27] ---
    leader of the orange guild, Titan's Hand.
[16:33] S
    But she's green!
[16:36] K
    It's a simple trick.
[16:37] K
    The green members find targets,
[16:40] ---
    and lead them to where the
    orange players are waiting.
[16:44] K
    That was one of your friends
     listening to us last night, right?
[16:48] S
    Then, the reason we were in the
    same party for two weeks...
[16:52] R
    That's right.
[16:54] R
    I was assessing its strength,
[16:56] ---
    while waiting for them to earn
    money from adventures.
[17:01] R
    You were the prey I was
    most anticipating.
[17:03] ---
    It was unfortunate that you left,
[17:05] R
    but then you said you were
    getting a rare item.
[17:08] R
    However, you knew all that,
    but went with her anyway.
[17:12] R
    Are you an idiot?
[17:13] ---
    Or did she actually really seduce you?
[17:16] K
    No, neither of the above.
[17:19] K
    I've also been searching
    for you, Rosalia-san.
[17:22] R
    What are you talking about?
[17:24] K
    Ten days ago, you attacked a
    guild called the Silver Flags.
[17:28] K
    Four people, all but the leader, died.
[17:31] R
    Oh, the ones with no money...
[17:33] K
    Their leader went from the warp point
[17:35] ---
    to the front lines, from morning until night,
[17:39] ---
    begging someone to avenge them.
[17:43] K
    But he didn't want you killed.
[17:45] K
    He wanted someone to jail you.
[17:49] K
    Can you understand how he felt?
[17:51] R
    Nope...
[17:53] R
    What kind of idiot would
    take this seriously?
[17:55] R
    There's no proof that killing someone
    here means they die in real life.
[18:00] R
    Anyway, shouldn't you be more
    concerned for yourselves?
[18:13] S
    Kirito-san, there are too many!
[18:16] S
    We should run!
[18:17] K
    It's all right.
[18:18] K
    Until I tell you to run,
[18:20] ---
    just keep the crystal ready.
    Stay put and watch.
[18:22] S
    Okay.
[18:23] S
    B-But...
[18:26] S
    Kirito-san!
[18:27] Bandit
    Kirito?
[18:29] Bandit
    Black clothes...
[18:31] Bandit
    A one-handed, no-shield style.
[18:33] Bandit
    That can't be
[18:34] Bandit
    the Black Swordsman...
[18:35] Bandit
    Rosalia-san, this is the beater
    who solos the front lines...
[18:40] Bandit
    He's in the lead group!
[18:41] S
    The lead group?
[18:43] R
    Someone from the lead group
    wouldn't be down here!
[18:47] R
    Go get him,
[18:47] R
    and take everything he owns!
[18:50] Bandit
    Die!
[19:00] S
    I have to save Kirito-san...
[19:07] S
    What?
[19:16] R
    What are you doing?!
[19:18] R
    Kill him!
[19:20] R
    About 400, in around 10 seconds...
[19:23] R
    That's the total damage you
    seven can do to me.
[19:28] R
    I'm level 78.
[19:30] R
    I have 14,500 HP.
[19:33] R
    My battle healing skill auto-regenerates
[19:35] ---
    600 points every 10 seconds.
[19:38] R
    We could stand here all day,
    and you'd never beat me.
[19:42] Bandit
    Is that even possible?
[19:43] K
    It is.
[19:44] K
    High enough numbers will
    make you invincible.
[19:48] K
    MMOs that use a level system
    are unfair that way.
[19:52] K
    My client spent his entire fortune
[19:55] K
    to buy this warp crystal.
[19:57] K
    It's set to take you to the prison.
[20:01] K
    You're all going there!
[20:04] R
    I'm green, so if you hurt me,
[20:06] R
    you'll go orange...
[20:14] K
    Just so we're clear, I'm a solo player.
[20:16] K
    One or two days of playing while
    orange mean nothing to me.
[20:26] K
    Sorry, Silica...
[20:28] K
    I ended up using you as bait.
[20:31] K
    I thought you'd be scared if
    I told you about myself.
[20:36] S
    You're a good person,
[20:39] S
    so I wouldn't be scared.
[20:42] S
    So you're leaving, then?
[20:46] K
    Yeah,
[20:46] K
    I've been away from the
    front lines for five days...
[20:49] K
    I need to get back.
[20:52] S
    T-The lead group is amazing...
[20:56] S
    I could never be one,
    even if I tried for years.
[21:01] S
    Um...
[21:02] S
    I...
[21:03] K
    Levels are just numbers.
[21:06] K
    In this world, strength is just an illusion.
[21:09] K
    There are more important things.
[21:14] K
    Next time, let's meet in the real world.
[21:17] K
    Then we'll be friends,
    just like we are now.
[21:22] S
    Right.
[21:23] S
    I'm sure we will!
[21:26] K
    Okay, let's revive Pina.
[21:28] S
    Yeah!
SIGN    Pina's Heart
[21:43] S
    Pina...
[21:44] S
    I'll talk to you lots and lots, okay?

    And about the one day in my life
