    Yoruko-san!
[00:22] K
    Asuna, keep an eye on him.
[00:25] A
    Stop!
[00:36] A
    Damn it!
[00:42] A
    Teleporting?
[00:43] A
    Where's he going?
[00:51] A
    Damn it...
SIGN    Illusionary Avenger
[02:33] A
    You idiot!
[02:34] A
    What were you thinking?
[02:39] A
    Well? What happened?
[02:42] K
    It was no use.
[02:43] K
    He teleported away.
[02:45] K
    The system protects the inns.
[02:49] K
    I was certain she'd be safe here.
[02:52] K
    Damn it.
[02:55] Dude
    That robe was Griselda's.
[02:59] Dude
    It was Griselda's ghost...
[03:02] Dude
    She's come for revenge on us all!
[03:06] Dude
    Why couldn't a ghost PK in town?
[03:12] K
    That was no ghost.
[03:15] K
    The two safe area murders
[03:17] ---
    have to work using some logic
    that involves the system.
[03:21] K
    They just have to.
[03:26] A
    Was that black robed figure
    really the ghost of Griselda-san?
[03:32] A
    Seeing those two deaths happen in front of me
[03:35] ---
    makes me wonder if it could be true.
[03:37] K
    No, that's impossible.
[03:41] K
    A ghost wouldn't need
    a teleport crystal.
[03:46] K
    A teleport crystal...
[03:47] A
    What is it?
[03:50] K
    No, it's nothing.
[04:02] A
    Here.
[04:04] K
    You're giving it to me?
[04:05] A
    What else would I be doing?
[04:08] A
    You think I'm showing
    it off or something?
[04:10] K
    U-Uh, then thanks.
[04:14] K
    Its durability is nearly at zero,
[04:16] K
    so you should eat up
    before it disappears.
[04:19] A
    Y-Yeah.
[04:26] K
    This is really good.
[04:29] K
    When did you make this?
[04:32] A
    Didn't I say its durability
    was about to run out?
[04:35] A
    I thought something like
    this might happen,
[04:37] ---
    so I prepared these this morning.
[04:39] K
    I guess you are in charge of the
    Knights of the Blood Oath attack teams.
[04:43] K
    Where is this from, anyway?
[04:45] A
    It wasn't for sale.
[04:48] A
    It isn't from a store.
[04:49] A
    You know, I can cook, too.
[04:55] K
    W-Well,
[04:56] K
    you could've put this up for auction
[05:00] K
    and made yourself a lot of money.
[05:08] A
    I don't have any more, got it?
[05:16] A
    What's wrong?
[05:21] K
    That's right...
[05:22] K
    That's it!
[05:24] A
    What?
[05:25] A
    What did you just figure out?
[05:27] K
    I...
[05:28] K
    We...
[05:30] K
    never actually saw a thing.
[05:32] K
    We just thought we did.
[05:33] K
    But we really saw something else.
[05:36] K
    There never was a weapon
[05:37] ---
    or any kind of logic
[05:40] ---
    that would allow killing
    within the safe areas!
SIGN    Floor 19: Cross Hill
[05:47] Guy
    Griselda...
[05:49] Guy
    The only way I can survive
    is with your forgiveness.
[05:55] Guy
    I'm sorry... I'm so sorry!
[05:57] Guy
    Forgive me, Griselda!
[05:59] Guy
    I never imagined this would happen!
[06:07] G
    Really?
[06:12] G
    Really? Really?
[06:35] G
    What did you do?
[06:39] G
    What did you do to me, Schmidt?
[06:44] Guy
    I... I only...
[06:46] Guy
    The day we decided to sell the ring,
[06:47] Guy
    a note and crystal just appeared
    in my belt pouch,
[06:50] Guy
    and the note told me to...
[06:51] ?
    Who told you?
[06:54] ?
    Who told you to?
[06:59] Guy
    Grimrock?
[07:01] Guy
    You're dead, too?
[07:04] ?
    Who?
[07:05] ?
    Who gave you these orders?
[07:08] Guy
    I-I honestly don't know!
[07:11] Guy
    The note just said to bind
    the crystal to the room
[07:14] ---
    where she was staying,
    so they could enter,
[07:17] Guy
    and then to put the crystal in
    the guild's shared storage...
[07:21] ?
    And?
[07:22] Guy
    That was all I did!
[07:25] Guy
    I never meant to get her killed.
[07:29] Guy
    Believe me... Please!
[07:38] Yoru
    We recorded all of that, Schmidt.
[07:51] A
    Th-They're alive?!
[07:53] K
    Yeah, they're alive.
[07:55] ---
    Both Yoruko-san and Kains.
[07:57] A
    B-But...
[07:59] K
    Inside a safe zone,
    player HP won't just drop.
[08:02] K
    But an object's durability will.
[08:05] K
    Like with that sandwich.
[08:08] K
    Back then,
[08:09] K
    Kains's armor was pierced by that spear.
[08:12] K
    The spear was draining the armor's
    durability, not Kains's HP.
[08:17] A
    Th-Then, what fell apart was...
[08:20] K
    Yes, just his armor.
[08:23] K
    And at the exact moment it did, Kains
[08:28] K
    teleported away.
[08:32] K
    The effect was incredibly similar
    to that of someone's death.
[08:36] K
    But it's still different.
[08:40] A
    Then Yoruko-san...
[08:41] K
    The dagger was already in her the
    whole time she spoke with us.
[08:46] A
    The entire time?
[08:47] K
    Remember...
[08:49] K
    During her entire stay, she never
    turned her back to us.
[08:54] K
    And as she talked, she kept an eye
    on her equipment's endurance.
[08:59] K
    At the right moment,
[09:00] ---
    she acted as though a dagger,
    thrown from outside, had stabbed her.
[09:05] A
    Which means the person
    in the black robe...
[09:08] K
    I'd lay good odds that it isn't Grimrock.
[09:10] K
    It's Kains.
[09:12] K
    Those two must have realized
[09:15] K
    that they could use this method
[09:18] K
    to fake their own deaths.
[09:22] A
    And their goal was to draw out
[09:24] ---
    the one responsible for the ring murder.
[09:28] A
    They acted out their own deaths
[09:31] ---
    to create an illusionary avenger.
[09:34] K
    They must have already been
    somewhat suspicious of Schmidt.
[09:38] K
    Hey, you still have Yoruko-san
    friended, don't you?
[09:46] A
    She's in the field, on Floor 19.
[09:48] A
    On a small hill, just outside the town.
[09:52] K
    I see.
[09:54] K
    Let's leave
[09:56] K
    the rest up to them.
[09:58] K
    Our role in this case is finished.
[10:08] Sch
    R-Recorded?
[10:14] Sch
    So that's how it is.
[10:17] Sch
    You cared that much about Griselda.
[10:21] Grim
    You didn't hate her, either, did you?
[10:25] Sch
    O-Of course not...
    Believe me!
[10:27] Sch
    True...
[10:28] Sch
    The rare weapon I bought let me clear
[10:31] Sch
    the Holy Dragon Alliance's
    entry requirements, but...
[10:45] Sch
    Paralysis?
[10:48] SomeDude
    One down!
[10:55] Sch
    Are these guys...
[10:58] SomeOtherGuy
    This is a big catch.
[11:02] SomeOtherGuy
    A Holy Dragon Alliance leader.
[11:11] S
    The guild of murderers,
    Laughing Coffin.
[11:21] SomeOtherGuy
    Now, then...
[11:21] SomeOtherGuy
    what shall we play?
[11:24] SG
    Let's do that one thing, boss...
[11:26] SG
    The game where they kill each other,
    and only the winner survives!
[11:30] SOG
    Last time we did that,
    you killed the survivor anyway.
[11:35] SG
    If you say that now,
    we can't have a game, boss.
[11:42] SOG
    All right.
[11:44] ---
    Let's get started.
[12:11] K
    Guess I made it just in time...
[12:18] K
    So what will you do?
[12:20] K
    I have backup on the way.
[12:22] K
    You want to fight thirty people
    from the lead group?
[12:43] SOG
    Let's go.
[12:59] K
    I'm glad I was able to see
    you again, Yoruko-san.
[13:03] Y
    I planned to apologize,
    once everything was over.
[13:08] Y
    But I can't expect you to believe me.
[13:11] S
    Kirito...
[13:13] S
    Thank you for saving me,
[13:15] ---
    but how did you know that those
    three would attack here?
[13:19] K
    I didn't.
[13:21] K
    I just thought it was a possibility.
[13:24] K
    Hey, Kains-san... Yoruko-san.
[13:26] K
    You asked Grimrock-san to
    make those two weapons.
[13:32] Y
    At first, he didn't seem willing.
[13:36] Y
    He said he wanted to let
    Griselda-san rest in peace...
[13:39] Kains
    But when we begged him,
[13:42] ---
    he finally forged them for us.
[13:45] K
    I'm sorry, but the reason
    he opposed your plan
[13:48] ---
    wasn't for Griselda-san's sake.
[13:51] K
    He thought something flashy,
    like a PK in a safe zone,
[13:54] ---
    would attract sufficient attention
    for someone to take notice...
[13:59] K
    I only realized it thirty minutes ago.
[14:06] K
    We ended up falling for
    Yoruko-san's plot...
[14:09] K
    But I don't really mind.
[14:12] A
    Yeah.
[14:14] A
    Hey.
[14:16] A
    What would you have said
[14:18] ---
    when a super-rare item like that dropped?
[14:22] K
    Hmm...
[14:23] K
    Part of the reason I play solo
    is to avoid those situations.
[14:28] A
    In our guild, it would belong
    to the one it dropped for.
[14:32] A
    That's the rule.
[14:34] A
    In SAO, no one knows what drops for whom
[14:38] ---
    unless someone volunteers it.
[14:39] A
    So if you want to avoid players
    hoarding, that's the only way.
[14:43] A
    Also,
[14:45] A
    because of that system,
[14:46] ---
    marriage in this world has real meaning.
[14:50] A
    If you marry, your item
    storage is shared, right?
[14:54] A
    Everything you might have
    hidden until then...
[14:57] ---
    Once you're married,
    you can't hide it anymore.
[15:01] A
    Shared storage is quite a
    pragmatic system.
[15:05] ---
    But I think it's very romantic, as well.
[15:11] K
    Hey...
[15:12] A
    What?
[15:14] K
    Have you ever gotten married?
[15:20] K
    No... That's not what I meant!
[15:22] ---
    You were just talking about how
    it's romantic and plastic...
[15:25] A
    No one said that!
[15:28] A
    It's romantic and pragmatic.
[15:30] A
    Pragmatic...
[15:32] A
    It means practical.
[15:34] A
    Practical.
[15:35] K
    Practical?
[15:36] K
    Marriage in SAO?
[15:38] A
    Isn't it?
[15:39] A
    In a way, it throws everything
    out there, doesn't it?
[15:41] ---
    The common storage.
[15:44] A
    What?
[15:45] K
    Common storage...
[15:49] K
    If your spouse dies,
    what happens to the items?
[15:53] K
    Item storage is shared.
[15:56] K
    When one person dies,
    what happens to their items?
[16:00] A
    Are you talking about
    Griselda-san and Grimrock-san?
[16:02] A
    Let's see, if one of them died...
[16:05] K
    Wouldn't everything go to the other?
[16:09] A
    Which would mean the rare ring
    in Griselda-san's storage...
[16:13] K
    It should be in Grimrock's storage,
    not in the killer's.
[16:18] A
    The ring wasn't stolen?
[16:21] K
    No, it was stolen.
[16:23] K
    Grimrock stole the ring
    from his own storage.
[16:33] Kains
    Grimrock...
[16:35] Kains
    He sent that memo?
[16:37] Kains
    And he killed Griselda?
[16:40] K
    No, he probably didn't do it personally.
[16:43] K
    He likely left the actual murder to a
    red player specializing in such things.
[16:49] Y
    No...
[16:50] Y
    If he were the murderer,
[16:52] Y
    then why would he have helped us?
[16:56] K
    Didn't you explain the whole plan to him?
[17:01] K
    This was his chance to bury
    the entire thing forever.
[17:07] K
    He waited for you, Schmidt-san,
    and Kains-san to gather,
[17:12] K
    so he could kill you all at once.
[17:15] S
    So that's why...
[17:17] S
    That's why that murder guild was here.
[17:21] K
    Most likely,
[17:22] K
    he knew them from when he
    hired them to kill Griselda-san.
[17:26] Y
    That's horrible...
[17:30] A
    I found him.
[17:36] K
    We can ask him for the details.
[17:43] Grim
    It's been a long time, everyone.
[17:47] Y
    Grimrock-san...
[17:49] Y
    Did you... Did you really...
[17:55] Y
    Why, Grimrock?
[17:56] Y
    Why did you need the money
[17:58] ---
    from the ring so badly that you had
    to kill Griselda, your own wife?
[18:05] Grim
    Money?
[18:07] Grim
    Did you say money?
[18:14] Grim
    It wasn't for the money.
[18:16] Grim
    I had...
[18:17] Grim
    I had to kill her...
[18:21] Grim
    While she was still my wife.
[18:24] Grim
    She was my wife in
    the real world, too.
[18:29] Grim
    The ideal wife, the perfect wife...
[18:32] Grim
    Pretty, submissive...
[18:35] Grim
    We'd never had a single fight.
[18:38] Grim
    But when we were both
    trapped in this world,
[18:42] ---
    she changed.
[18:45] ---
    Only one of us was overcome with fear
    from being trapped in a death game...
[18:49] ---
    Me.
[18:51] ---
    She looked so much happier,
[18:53] ---
    so much more alive,
    than she had in the real world.
[18:57] ---
    I had to accept it...
[19:00] ---
    That the Yuuko I loved was gone.
[19:05] ---
    Thus...
[19:06] ---
    Thus, I decided to forever seal
    her within my memories here,
[19:11] ---
    in this world, where murder is legal...
[19:15] ---
    And who could blame me?
[19:18] K
    You killed your wife for that?
[19:21] Grim
    That's more than reason enough.
[19:24] Grim
    Someday, you'll understand, detective.
[19:27] Grim
    Once you've found love and
    are about to lose it.
[19:32] A
    No, you're the one who's
    mistaken, Grimrock-san.
[19:37] A
    You didn't feel love for Griselda-san.
[19:41] A
    You only wanted to possess her!
[19:56] Kains
    Kirito-san, could you leave this man to us?
[20:01] K
    All right.
[20:21] A
    Hey...
[20:23] ---
    If you married someone,
    and then you discovered
[20:27] ---
    they had a side you didn't know,
[20:30] A
    what would you think?
[20:34] K
    Maybe that I was lucky...
[20:37] K
    B-Because if you marry someone,
[20:39] ---
    it means you already
[20:40] ---
    like what you know about them, right?
[20:43] K
    So if you found something new about them
    and fell in love with that, too...
[20:48] K
    W-Wouldn't that be great?
[20:51] A
    Well, fine.
[20:53] A
    More importantly, I'm hungry.
[20:55] A
    I didn't get to finish my meal earlier.
[20:57] K
    Y-Yeah...
[21:00] A
    I've been away from the front
    lines for two days...
[21:02] A
    I'll have to go back to work tomorrow.
[21:04] K
    Yeah, I want to clear this floor this week.
[21:10] A
    What?
[21:44] A
    Hey, Kirito-kun...
[21:46] A
    Want to friend me?
[21:49] A
    You haven't so far, right?
[21:51] A
    Since we're both in the lead group,
[21:52] ---
    it's inconvenient that we
    can't talk to each other.
[21:54] K
    But I'm a solo player...
[21:57] A
    I didn't say you had to party up with me.
[21:59] A
    Anyway, you should make some friends.
[22:02] K
    D-Do I?
[22:03] K
    It doesn't bother me, but...
[22:05] K
    Think about it while we go eat.
[22:07] K
    First, let's get back to town.
[22:10] ---
    Y-Yeah...
