It was the morning after when Kirito knocked firmly on Suguha's door.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfA5tlV9SM
Kirito: Suguha, get up! You're going to school!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK1jJVSeIP
Suguha moved a little, but instead Maple opened the door and said sleepily.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRgVX3j9qA
Maple: Good morning! She's sleeping like a log.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgZwyIaKKg
A few minutes passed, and Suguha finally got up and went to school.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCgFSHXNu2
Kirito: And what are you going to do now?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UToAliS4I
Kirito asked Maple.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoBcUG0kF0
Maple: I'll probably meet up with Risa.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pjzUHUGVl
Kirito looked at her, confused.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtzg4bI7Em
Kirito: With whom?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeDwkmkDuE
Maple: Oh, sorry, I meant Sally, of course. We've been calling each other by our in-game names this whole time.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRslC3nXkzV
Maple: My real name is Kaede, by the way.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2KicMd31x
Kirito: Oh, I see. :)
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zS6152sjA
They talked for a little while longer until Kaede left.
Kaede was walking down the street when she heard it.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWUqqnUeu
Kaede!!!!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugGDtovSn6
A loud shout—it was Risa.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnhKfhgR46
Risa: There you are! How are you? Did everything go well?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aAdjymWUk
Kaede: Yep, except for Suguha starting to eat sweets at 3 a.m., everything was okay.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFyN2wrbYV
Risa: Oh man. Well, at least I know how to operate a sniper rifle now. Sinon is talking about it to him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRUPIfEUBi
The two laughed and talked and went for a walk.
* At Kirito's
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTigzXTX9ZH
He arrived at school, still half asleep, when Asuna stood before him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswi3gaZ1xe
Asuna: Good morning, I brought you some coffee.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJFguL8YCa
Kirito looked at her and smiled.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEHehta0Bw
Kirito: Thank you, you're a sweetheart, that's exactly what I need right now.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdy1p1V5Cm
Liz: Oh man, you two, it's only 9 a.m.!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDNCvBN2ke
Asuna: Oh Liz, please let me!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKrxkJGhSb
The three entered the school building.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyiJ1HtFzW
Meanwhile, Rath Higa and Kikuoka were just getting up, unaware of what they were about to see...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKAYp4sq8N
Higa: Good morning, I'll take a look at the screen...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrUd4VRjM9
They looked at the screen into the Underworld. So much was destroyed, entire cities, everything, but like last night, everything was still normal.
Kikuoka: What on earth?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgcflQBFmb
Higa: This can't be happening...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d8CSnAFib
They were both completely shocked.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxwVUkccEy
Kikuoka: What are we going to do?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBSj6TK87Z
Higa: Maybe we should...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TVaVHFpxm
Kikuoka interrupted him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxKXxlZ9oI
Kikuoka: No, absolutely no one can find out, that would be a disgrace.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJXisA35CA
Higa started the system and saw that data was being transmitted from here to the outside.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOpqu7Dsq9
Kikuoka looked at the screen.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGgzU4N5dE
Kikuoka: Disconnect, Higa.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpqrox2OPo
It was chaos, and after some time, the biggest problem seemed to be resolved.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMt84aJ36H
Kikuoka: Oh man, how could this have happened?
Meanwhile, Kirito, Asuna, and Liz had just finished school.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nYJSyZvQ8
Kirito: OMG, I hate math!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dMOd7OGoS
Liz: Kirito, if it were up to you, you'd live in VR!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnJ0XFzP2N
Everyone laughs when suddenly Kirito's phone rings. He answers it.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Pm5K5PNh
Seven: Kirito?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiSNFiCvCH
Kirito: Hey Seven, how's it going?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NBO4sIdBk
Seven: Good, and you?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV93qWfrV1V
Kirito: Me too.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWWV6gcDLG
But tell me, something's wrong, you don't usually call.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjidid7xIy
Seven: You know me too well, apparently.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj1f7HWTwr
I received an email with no sender, and I think you might be interested.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfYDQXyggV
She sends him the picture, and he opens it. The Underworld is completely destroyed.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeCMS5Um6B
Kirito: That's... OK, thanks for sending it. I'll get back to you soon.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WbkMOGJA0
Seven is about to say something when he hangs up.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kDnKCdFBo
Kirito: Liz Asuna, please follow me...
The three of them were walking through the park when
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk5RVmW20j
Kaede: Kirito, Asuna, Liz!!!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ9jsSSRk8
It was Kaede and Risa.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz85jzU4GYW
Kirito continued walking without saying anything.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5JkRDLHvN
Asuna: Hey, you two, come with me. I don't know where he's going so badly.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAnnVnuibM
Kaede and Risa followed the three of them.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm4iWOnfvQ
They arrived at the main town hall.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRTxutgZob
Kirito tried to open the locked door.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3CBoggLrY
Asuna had rarely seen Kirito so upset.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gKUjJ57Rd
Kirito tried calling several people, but no one answered. You could see how nervous he was.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79in89tcem
Asuna: Kirito, please drink something. What's going on?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9b0dAIImq
He took Asuna's water bottle and took a sip.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu28rkwpmuJ
He then held out his phone.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrmu3dzmn7
Liz and Asuna stared at him in shock. Kaede and Risa didn't understand at all.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1FWj0iQK0
Asuna: Is this her... Underworld?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ATPONIR5
Kirito: Yes.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bq7jojG0d
Risa: Would you be so kind as to explain?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCSOlbV1SQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T2iFbAgC2
Kirito: Yes, of course, come.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnzZK72BEt
They walk through the park and tell him everything that happened a few months ago.
Kaede: Oh man, a lot has really happened!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSsXdmymXF
Risa: And that explains your reaction. If that's true, we have to help the inhabitants of this underworld.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndxoSWYUKt
Kirito: We should see what happens tomorrow and go home first.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrAyzRixjf
Everyone says goodbye and goes home.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPPq0vcpY
It's now 11 PM. Kirito is almost asleep when his phone suddenly rings.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTOKR9ma6K
It says Kikuoka on the screen.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe5t4CqvsK
Kikuoka answers.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARnbhrqCvJ
Kirito: Come to the harbor immediately!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPffQ88BXnQ
Kirito: First, I want to know what's up with this picture of the underworld.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNHuBdW2Q1
Kikuoka: How do you know about it?!
... Kirito: Seven received an unknown email with the photo.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Q3Y2FAy0
Kikuoka: Damn, so guesses have been sent out.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqqSATJEwL
Kikuoka: I'll explain everything, but first come to the harbor... ALONE.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfOrwyoqpX
Kirito doesn't hesitate, puts on his jacket, and leaves the house.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16q3iC5c6
At that moment,
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeUT9BVIrg
Kaede: Suguha, did you hear that?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8VbpImVqB
Suguha: Yes, I did. That doesn't sound good. He's probably putting himself in danger again.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2BCat0TZ2
Kaede: What should we do?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP7OOVhAYu
Suguha: I'll call Asuna. You call Sally... I mean Risa and Sinon.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWzYYDD1fO
The two of them talked on the phone, got dressed, and also left the house.
Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, Risa, and Kaede meet in the forest.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndTtalfys4
Asuna: So what's so urgent? I almost broke my foot jumping out the window.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrTLgOeth3
Suguha: Kirito got a call telling him to come to the harbor. I have a bad feeling he's putting himself in danger.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRxcl8uGav
Sinon: Well then, off to the harbor!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnOCDXjM4y
They go to the harbor and see Kirito getting on a boat.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaJxOg6BEI
The boat starts moving at that moment.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFDhskrYV6
Risa: Come quickly!!!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt4W2ndff9
The five of them take a running start and jump onto the boat.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5a8gTW3yg
They see a wooden box and all go inside.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWeQjetvNZ
Sinon: Ouch, that was my foot!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxQ3fvsFI7
Kaede: Sorry!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCIcxF7jbN
They travel for a while.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM3DyMpSgo
Kirito looks ahead until he sees it:
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVcGoFAWEq
The Ocean Turtle.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUpu2ChPFU
He's confused. Wasn't it closed?
Kirito tried talking to people on the ship, but they all just told him to wait until they arrived. After some time, they arrived, and everyone left the ship and went inside.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNxY2mtVQr
Asuna: Are they gone?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Qy3MqD6I
Suguha: I'll go and see.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS05f4iLSpH
Suguha: I'm leaving the box. No one's there.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYtdZrBL5l
Suguha: The coast is clear.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v7fUMBSGm
Risa: Wow, this is huge!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7onhRa6kpt
The five of them looked for the entrance to get in.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9XewUFCWK
*Inside
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOcxWtCtxA
Kikuoka: Kirito, there you are! It's great that you could get here so quickly.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6GeNdcX4u
Kirito: Yeah, great! How is this even possible? I thought the Ocean Turtle had been closed?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrABxNLBfe
Kikuoka: Yes, that's right, but we got the go-ahead to reopen it two weeks ago.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZSgE0drz
Kirito: So, what about the Underworld?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvHeF5JHXT
Kikuoka: That's exactly why you're here. Something in the Underworld did this to it, judging by the way, and you're going to go in and see?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5sbmwpYl9
Kirito: I'm supposed to go in there alone if it looks like this?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDUYcR8wdh
Kikuoka: No, of course not.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7H5xfSmUs
At that moment, the door opens and Alice and Eugeo enter.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ivMKw8yP8
Eugeo & Alice: Hey Kirito!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhLGdeeJq3
Kirito: Oh, I'm really glad to see you. So, are you both ready?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPcm2rNID8
Everyone says yes.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3X6eHq9Ao
Kikuoka: Great, then we can start. If no one else...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIUjKyzxBK
He is interrupted.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsVt5YMGfY
Voice: Oh, yes, we have quite a few questions.
It's Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, Risa, and Kaede.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGubnduDXLQ
Kikuoka: What?!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1eaH2Ev9Y
Higa: We urgently need to hire new staff; this is the second time this has happened.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1IrzEi0U6
Kirito: Asuna... Suguha
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrDwwsOwPG
He knew exactly what he was going to get in trouble for. They both stood in front of him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyD5SBA2ku
Asuna: Do you even know how worried I was?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BGxExpLqj
Suguha: Mom definitely won't like this.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG1OybOnUM
Kirito: She won't like it any more than she likes you being here.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekoePep4b5
Suguha: That's true.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnpPd5jklt
Asuna looked down and hugged him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFS9DVmOjV
Asuna: Don't do that again, understand?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡernbqNhXQo
Eugeo: So, can we go then?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMCfAcjb1F
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsH5vpO6Ce
Everyone gets ready and Kikouka logs them all into the Underworld.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGcdvDKjNb
Alice: Whoa, Eugeo... Our home is completely destroyed...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrFTgTHRnE
Sally: Maple, whoa, we even have our items here and stuff.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIXQPshpHh
Sally: You're right.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqellTOpOC1
They walk through the city where an injured person is lying on the ground.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA55wkcCFHP
Asuna bends down.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3oILrYo6X
Asuna: Hey, do you need help?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXA9a28Ucg
Person: Up there... Vec...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3TqT6quIF
They turn around and there's someone in the air.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtCG0UCoUq
Kirito: Guys, get ready for battle!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSIXXDEo3P
Kirito: Show yourself!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYFGaJ0Mei
Voice 1: Why so angry? We were just having fun!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oRSKiMYgw
Eugeo: Who's "we"?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZhUOZlPAW
Voice 2: Long time no see, Blacky!
