[00:13] L
    That'll do it.
[00:17] A
    Thanks, Liz!
[00:19] L
    You're welcome.
[00:22] L
    Aren't you going hunting
    with the guild today?
[00:26] A
    I took the day off.
[00:28] A
    I'm meeting someone.
[00:35] L
    So that's it.
[00:37] A
    What?
[00:41] A
    I have to go!
[00:45] L
    You've found something
    important to you.
[00:49] A
    Did you say something?
[00:51] L
    Nope, nothing at all.
[00:53] L
    Good luck!
[00:55] A
    It isn't like that!
[00:57] A
    Anyway, see you.
[01:07] L
    I wonder if I'll ever find something.
SIGN    The Temperature of the Heart
[02:58] L
    It's okay, I guess...
[03:02] L
    Dealing with customers is
    part of my job, too.
[03:08] L
    Okay!
[03:13] L
    Welcome to Lisbeth's Smith Shop!
[03:16] K
    W-Well...
[03:18] K
    I'd like to order a custom-made weapon.
[03:25] L
    Does he have enough money?
[03:28] L
    At the moment, metal prices are high.
[03:32] K
    Don't worry about the cost.
[03:34] K
    I just want the best sword
    you can make right now.
[03:37] L
    That's somewhat vague.
[03:39] L
    Could you give me an idea of
    the stats you're looking for?
[03:43] K
    Oh, I see.
[03:45] K
    Then, something as good as this or better?
[03:53] K
    An Elucidator...
[03:55] K
    It's one of the best magic swords
[03:57] ---
    you can get from a monster drop.
[04:00] K
    Can you do it?
[04:05] L
    How about this one?
[04:06] L
    It's the best
[04:08] L
    that I've ever made.
[04:11] K
    It's a little light...
[04:13] L
    I used a speed-type metal to forge it.
[04:17] K
    May I test it a little?
[04:19] L
    Test it?
[04:20] K
    Its durability.
[04:24] L
    Wait!
[04:24] L
    If you do that, your sword will break!
[04:27] L
    If that happens, it'll just be...
[04:29] L
    too bad!
[04:43] L
    Irreparable...
[04:55] L
    Why did you do that?!
[04:57] K
    Sorry!
[04:58] K
    I didn't think that yours would
    be the one to break...
[05:01] L
    You trying to tell me
[05:03] ---
    that my sword was weaker
    than you expected?
[05:07] K
    Yeah, I guess.
[05:10] L
    Just so we're clear, if I had the materials,
[05:13] ---
    I could make a dozen swords
[05:16] ---
    that would snap yours in half!
[05:20] K
    I'd really love one.
[05:22] K
    Something that could snap this in two.
[05:25] L
    Then you'll have to help me
    every step of the way!
[05:28] K
    Every step of the way?
[05:29] L
    Yeah, starting with obtaining the metal.
[05:32] K
    I can get it myself.
[05:34] K
    I'd rather not have you slowing me down.
[05:36] L
    Don't you insult me.
[05:38] L
    Believe it or not, I'm an expert mace user.
[05:41] K
    Then where do we find the metal?
[05:44] L
    On Floor 55, on the Western Mountain,
[05:46] L
    there's supposedly a dragon
    that eats crystals.
[05:49] L
    According to rumor, it builds
    up a rare metal in its body.
[05:53] K
    Floor 55, huh?
[05:55] K
    I should probably go—
[05:56] L
    Furthermore, to get the metal,
[05:57] L
    you need a master smith with you.
[06:00] L
    Still want to go alone?
[06:10] K
    Just keep quiet,
    and stay out of the way.
[06:12] L
    Hey!
[06:13] K
    My name's Kirito.
[06:15] K
    Until we make that sword,
    I guess we'll be partying up.
[06:18] K
    Okay, Kirito!
[06:19] L
    You're being rather curt...
[06:21] L
    Well, whatever.
[06:23] L
    Lisbeth.
SIGN    Floor 55: Western Mountain
[06:36] L
    It's cold...
[06:37] K
    Don't you have any extra clothing?
[06:39] L
    I didn't know Floor 55
    would be this cold!
[06:48] L
    Don't you need this?
[06:50] K
    I'm more disciplined.
[06:53] L
    You just keep grating on me.
[06:57] L
    It's warm.
[07:00] L
    I can't believe I'm out here,
    all alone with this guy.
[07:04] L
    This is weird...
[07:06] K
    What's wrong, Lisbeth?
[07:08] K
    Giving up already?
[07:09] L
    I'm just fine!
[07:11] L
    And if you plan to be a jerk
    anyway, just call me Liz.
[07:14] K
    Right, right... Got it, Liz.
[07:16] L
    Get over yourself!
[07:31] L
    It's beautiful!
[07:36] L
    What are you doing?!
[07:38] K
    Get your teleport crystal ready.
[07:40] L
    I know.
[07:42] K
    And I'll do this part alone.
[07:45] K
    Once the dragon appears,
[07:46] ---
    hide in the shadow of
    one of the crystals.
[07:49] K
    Do not come out.
[07:50] L
    What?
[07:52] L
    I'm no newbie... I can help—
[07:54] K
    No!
[08:02] K
    All right.
[08:03] K
    Let's get going.
[08:15] K
    Get over there, and hide!
[08:31] L
    Its breath attack! Dodge!
[08:41] L
    Wow...
[08:43] L
    All with that thin weapon?
[08:45] L
    Who is he?
[08:56] L
    Go on and finish him off!
[08:59] K
    You idiot!
[08:59] K
    Don't come out yet!
[09:03] L
    What?
[09:04] L
    It's over－
[09:10] K
    Liz!
[09:18] K
    No!
[09:18] K
    No!
[09:22] K
    Liz, hang on!
[09:40] K
    You're alive...
[09:44] L
    Yeah, I'm alive.
[09:49] K
    Drink one of these, just in case.
[09:51] K
    Okay.
[10:02] K
    Um, thank you
[10:05] K
    for saving me.
[10:06] K
    It's a little early to be thanking me.
[10:09] K
    How do we get out of here?
[10:12] L
    We can just teleport.
[10:15] L
    Teleport: Lindas!
[10:19] L
    No way...
[10:20] K
    If we can't use crystals, that means
[10:22] ---
    there should be another way.
[10:24] L
    We don't know that.
[10:26] L
    This trap could be meant to kill
    anyone who falls into it.
[10:30] K
    Yeah, that's true.
[10:34] L
    Come on...
[10:35] L
    At least try to cheer me up!
[10:37] K
    I have an idea.
[10:38] L
    Really?
[10:40] K
    Yeah, to run up the wall.
[10:46] L
    Are you stupid?
[10:48] K
    Let's find out.
[10:54] L
    Unbelievable...
[11:07] K
    If there were a little more
    running space, it'd work.
[11:10] L
    Like hell it would.
[11:18] L
    What a strange feeling.
[11:20] L
    This would never happen in real life.
[11:22] L
    Sleeping next to someone I've never met,
[11:26] ---
    in a place I've never been.
[11:28] L
    And running up walls?
[11:31] L
    You really a weirdo.
[11:33] K
    Sorry.
[11:40] L
    Hey, Kirito...
[11:42] L
    Can I ask something?
[11:43] K
    What is it now?
[11:45] L
    Back then, why did you save me?
[11:50] K
    I'd rather die with someone
[11:53] ---
    than let them die alone.
[11:56] K
    Especially if it's a little girl like you, Liz.
[12:00] L
    You really are stupid.
[12:02] L
    No one else would think that way.
[12:09] L
    Hey...
[12:11] L
    Hold my hand?
[12:19] K
    Okay.
[12:29] L
    It's warm.
[12:33] L
    You and I are both data in
    a virtual world, but...
[12:37] K
    Liz...
[12:55] L
    Huh?
[13:05] L
    What are you doing?
[13:07] K
    Look at this.
SIGN    Crystallite Ingot
[13:12] L
    Could this be...
[13:14] K
    Yeah, the metal we came to find.
[13:17] K
    The dragon eats the crystals,
    creating this in its stomach.
[13:23] K
    That's why no one received any.
[13:25] L
    You did it.
[13:27] L
    But what's it doing here?
[13:29] K
    This hole isn't a trap.
[13:31] ---
    It's the dragon's nest.
[13:34] K
    In other words, that ingot is
    the dragon's excrement.
[13:38] K
    Its poop.
[13:44] K
    Regardless, we've achieved our goal.
[13:47] K
    All that's left is...
[13:51] L
    You said this is the dragon's nest, right?
[13:54] K
    Yeah.
[13:55] L
    And the dragon is nocturnal,
[13:56] ---
    which means it won't be long until...
[14:04] L
    It's here!
[14:09] L
    H-Hey!
[14:10] L
    What?!
[14:21] L
    Liz, hang on!
[14:32] L
    We're outside!
[14:48] L
    Amazing!
[14:59] L
    Kirito!
[15:02] L
    You know something?
[15:03] ---
    What?
[15:05] K
    I...
[15:07] L
    I like you!
[15:10] K
    What?
[15:11] K
    I can't hear you!
[15:14] L
    It's nothing!
SIGN    June 25, 2024        Floor 48: Lindas
[15:27] L
    A one-handed long sword, right?
[15:29] K
    Yeah, thanks.
[15:44] K
    The warmth of Kirito's hands...
[15:46] K
    The way I feel.
[15:48] K
    I wasn't imagining it.
[15:50] K
    When I finish a sword I
    can be satisfied with,
[15:53] ---
    I'll tell him how I feel.
[16:14] K
    Its name is Dark Repulsor.
[16:16] K
    If I've never heard of it,
[16:18] K
    then it isn't in the information
    brokers' directory.
[16:21] K
    Try it out.
[16:22] K
    Yeah.
[16:30] L
    H-How does it feel?
[16:32] K
    Heavy...
[16:33] K
    It's a good sword.
[16:34] L
    All right!
[16:36] K
    It feels like a soul is forged into it.
[16:45] K
    Now, then...
[16:46] K
    The job's complete.
[16:48] K
    I'll pay you for the sword.
[16:50] K
    How much?
[16:51] L
    Um, well...
[16:54] L
    I don't need any money.
[16:58] L
    In exchange...
[17:00] L
    I want to be your exclusive smith.
[17:05] K
    What would that mean?
[17:10] K
    Liz?
[17:14] L
    When you return from the field,
[17:15] ---
    stop by and let me maintain your gear.
[17:18] L
    Every day, from now on!
[17:24] K
    Liz?
[17:25] L
    Kirito, I...
[17:28] L
    I...
[17:30] A
    Liz! I was really worried!
[17:33] L
    Asuna?
[17:34] A
    Liz!
[17:35] A
    I couldn't send messages to you,
    or track you on the map...
[17:39] ---
    Where were you last night?
[17:40] L
    Sorry, I got stuck in a dungeon.
[17:44] A
    A dungeon?
[17:45] A
    Did you go alone?
[17:47] L
    No, with him.
[17:50] A
    K-Kirito-kun?
[17:52] K
    Oh, A-Asuna...
[17:54] K
    It's been a while.
[17:55] K
    Or maybe it hasn't.
[17:57] K
    Two days?
[17:58] A
    You surprised me.
[17:59] A
    I see, you already dropped by.
[18:01] A
    If you told me,
     I would've gone with you.
[18:04] L
    Do you know each other?
[18:06] K
    Yeah, we're both part
    of the lead group.
[18:11] A
    He wanted a powerful sword,
[18:13] ---
    so I referred him to your shop.
[18:15] L
    So that's why.
[18:17] A
    You didn't do anything weird
    to my friend, did you?
[18:20] K
    O-Of course I didn't!
[18:22] A
    The way you stuttered is suspicious...
[18:24] L
    I almost died back there.
[18:26] L
    You could show a little compassion!
[18:28] A
    That's why I've told you so
    often not to fight solo.
[18:32] L
    I see.
[18:34] L
    So that's it...
[18:37] A
    Did he say anything rude to you?
[18:42] A
    Liz?
[18:46] L
    Rude?
[18:48] ---
    He snapped my best sword in half!
[18:52] A
    I-I'm sorry...
[18:53] L
    It's nothing you need to apologize for.
[18:57] L
    He's weird, but he's not a bad guy.
[19:01] L
    I'll be cheering for you.
    So do your best, Asuna.
[19:04] A
    It's not like that!
[19:07] A
    Liz?
[19:08] L
    Sorry, but I have to go pick
    up some supplies.
[19:10] L
    I'll be right back.
[19:12] A
    What about the store?
[19:14] L
    You two keep an eye on it!
[19:17] A
    Wait, Liz!
[19:37] K
    Lisbeth...
[19:45] L
    You can't be here right now.
[19:50] L
    Just a little longer.
[19:52] ---
    And I would've gone back to
    my usual cheerful self...
[19:55] K
    Liz...
[19:57] L
    How'd you know I was here?
[20:04] K
    I went up there, so I could scan
    the whole town for you.
[20:08] L
    You always do the craziest things.
[20:16] L
    Sorry... I'm fine.
[20:20] L
    I think I'm not used to adventures,
    and it just shook me up...
[20:24] L
    So, please...
[20:26] ---
    Forget everything I said.
[20:32] K
    I wanted to thank you.
[20:37] K
    I've always...
[20:38] ---
    I've honestly always thought
    it would be better to die
[20:44] ---
    than to survive alone.
[20:47] L
    Kirito?
[20:49] K
    But when we fell in that hole,
[20:51] ---
    I was glad we both made it.
[20:54] K
    I was able to think that everyone
    and I are living as best we can.
[21:00] K
    So thank you, Liz.
[21:04] L
    Same here...
[21:06] L
    I, too, was always looking for something,
[21:09] L
    something real in this world.
[21:13] L
    For me,
[21:15] L
    it was the warmth of your hand.
[21:23] L
    Tell Asuna what you just told me.
[21:27] K
    Liz...
[21:28] L
    I'm fine!
[21:30] L
    Only, this warmth will linger for a while.
[21:35] L
    Therefore, please...
[21:38] L
    End this world.
[21:42] L
    Until then, I'll keep working.
[21:46] K
    I promise.
[21:48] K
    I'll win the game.
[21:54] L
    If you need your equipment repaired,
[21:56] ---
    come by anytime.
[21:57] K
    Sure.
[21:59] L
    You'll always be welcome
    at Lisbeth's Smith Shop!
