It was December 17, 2025, when Kirito, Asuna, Eugeo, and Yuuki were together in New Aincrad, on level 22, in the wooden cabin.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mPGJ2TTLF
They were eating cake when they heard the login sound. It was Alice.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoANKKvhUg
When Eugeo saw her, he stood up and hugged her. Alice immediately blushed bright red.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEojwNxrWgR
Yuuki then interrupted.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCZ2TlNZr0
Yuuki: Asuna, would you like to meet up later in real life and go shopping?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xwgLk1vYl
Asuna: Sure, I'd love that. Afterwards, I can introduce you to my parents. They've wanted to meet you for a while now.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTQxyutsus
Then Yuuki and Asuna logged off.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36bpkbFerO
Eugeo: Kirito, are you coming with me? I wanted to get Liz to repair my sword.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz82Qva3BLu
Kirito: No, I have to go offline and cook something. If I forget again, Sugu will rip my head off.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqIudqjzVV
Eugeo: Then I'll go alone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NhWUwKQpK
At that moment, Alice's heart leaped. She couldn't get it up, not knowing how close Liz and Eugeo always were.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ25nx3taMp
Alice: Um, well, Eugeo, I'll come with you.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3FikJzUa9
Eugeo: Oh, sure, you can come along.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RnjLEH9m4
So Kirito logged out, and Alice and Eugeo set off.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlCLF1CZWQ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzDRZ2OU1O
* at Yuuki and Asuna's
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquAMe1RFCT
They had finished shopping and entered Asuna's apartment.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEJyuDp9oM
Asuna: Mom! Dad! I'm back! I brought someone with me.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJwiirZ2oT
Asuna's mom and dad went into the hallway and looked at Yuuki. Asuna's mom almost jumped out of her skin and left the room.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu6gTLwyK6
Asuna's father raised his voice: "ASUNA, THAT GIRL! YOU'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN, LET SHE LET SEE HER IN OUR APARTMENT!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8IMRIEznf
With that, Yuuki left the house.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbICDFdy5wB
Asuna was devastated. Her best friend... why? Why?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡven1laF0Jv
She went to her room and cried.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO5Gxz6tgo
Meanwhile, at Alice and Eugeo's place
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgEW2UB4CD
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwfvgi6roN
They arrived at Liz's smithy.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rPpKV3xh
Liz: Hey Eugeo, how are you? she asked with a big smile.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAgGNukX8x
Then she looked at Alice.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuwjXBRHG0
Liz: Hey Alice.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKKULZwdly
Eugeo grinned back.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbvkmBWPxE
Eugeo: I'm fine, but I need your help with this sword. It's really broken.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyI4jBwsnm
He showed it to Liz, and their hands touched for a few seconds.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdz1uNy5SR
In Alice's opinion, a few seconds too long.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkfouWp3td
Alice: Um, well... I have to go now.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzcoTG5anX
And before Liz or Eugeo could say anything, she was gone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqfpIWUu8
Alice wandered around alone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1uzADPACf
Alice: Idiot, Liz! Ugh, I'll use my sword someday.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME1zvWNZU2
She said to herself and continued walking.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluT5FwMcil
Kirito was cooking when Suguha came home from kendo practice.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaO0XJyRgK
She rushed into the kitchen to find Kirito cooking.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW6HC1XuDE
Kirito: Hey Sugu! Why are you so excited? I haven't forgotten to cook!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMJXZGavdv
Suguha: Oh man, Onii-chan! I found something in the attic earlier. She opened the book. It seemed to contain the names of old family members.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajeo56NoD3
Kirito: And that's why all the drama, Sugu! What's so special about that?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPHWfQOZFy
Suguha: No, Kirito, look!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHACpls6ZjG
She pointed to a relative who lived from 1889 to 1960.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZwcHCb7lw
The name: Dietrich Ryoutarou
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4sbkzFix3
Kirito looked up, confused.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPpvY1QAqO
Kirito: No, Suguha, that can't be right, it must be just a coincidence.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsFa9VGKuA
Suguha: No, I called Klein earlier. He really did have a distant relative with that name.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgqRy1m0uf
Addendum: Kirito and Suguha later spoke with their parents, and Klein was indeed a distant relative of theirs.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8eSVP83yS
The next morning, Asuna woke up. Her parents called her downstairs to the living room.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd1lRGI71a
Asuna's mother: We need to talk.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD0WmYrYJm
Asuna, sit silently.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYadAFUh5Y
Asuna's father: This Yuuki, she's... She's your half-sister. Some time after her birth, your mother had an affair with me and became pregnant. I forgave her, but only on the condition that we put her up for adoption afterward and keep it a secret. It would have been a disgrace to this family.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QltsLiglA
Asuna looked at her.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCpRDivngp
Asuna: She's... My... sister...
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4cUwZ0Av2
Asuna's mother: Yes, Asuna... And that's why it's better if you don't see her anymore.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8g2RmN3VQ
Asuna looked at her parents and became angry.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwos6xLg2j
Asuna: No, no, and again, no! I will still see her, now more than ever. I'm not responsible for your mistakes.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDfIvwBsgE
Without hesitation, Asuna left the house.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTaKXFeX33
* At Alice's side at that moment
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWbqib8IKi
She wanted to apologize to Eugeo for disappearing so suddenly yesterday when she saw them together in an alley.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBOayrncCh
Eugeo and Liz... kissing.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmatU0iotr
Alice's heart broke into a thousand pieces at that moment.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdt3uZUMDK
Eugeo noticed Alice.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQhRXVOY31
Eugeo: Oh, Alice, um, we didn't mean for it to be like this...
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QPA5i5NCO
Alice interrupted her and started to cry.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2mqcCAX5x
Alice: You... You... You IDIOT!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PTT5gTuTd
Eugeo didn't understand at all.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ7DtplOZh
Alice: Haven't you ever noticed the looks I give you? I... I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, OK?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArAEpeGqbV
Alice turned around and ran away.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6tNXmyhJt
Eugeo: Alice, wait! But she was already gone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQEP37TUFr
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd0ITSIahE
Kirito and Suguha
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xhVWCWxPl
They asked Klein to come to Alo; they wanted to talk to him.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25pA08B5s9
Klein logged in.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf9AS4vLGE
Klein: So, you wanted to talk to me. What's up?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBojNqVvMM
Suguha: Hey Klein, well, I found a book on our attic earlier, and according to this book, we're distant cousins.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFBqgKTpqD
Klein: Wait, is this a joke???
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftnFu47rrK
Kirito: No, it's not.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NEf54CvKf
They were both afraid of his reaction.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6QluJAKQF
Klein: That's... YES, AWESOME! THEN WE'RE RELATED FROM TODAY ON!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fIcZLWAff
Kirito: You're not shocked?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOZWX0QePt
Klein: NO, NOT AT ALL! This is awesome! Now I can always say I have a cousin.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwONXyhjyp
And so the three of them talked and laughed for several more hours.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQJBX7Bwko
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsOYQnBiOB
* Meanwhile, at Asuna's
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaXbaNTx7L
She walked through the park where she met Yuuki.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcqCwZCDty
She sat down next to her in silence.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZFHhyf6P3
Asuna: Yuuki, can we talk for a minute?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGd8gXbLsB
Yuuki: Sure, anytime.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVsmkwwVbT
Asuna: So, now I know why my parents reacted the way they did.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2QpFqSgDV
She remained silent.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjBokQgT7l
Asuna: My mother cheated on my father years ago and had a child.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNEZAKSkHN
...That child is you, Yuuki. You're my half-sister...
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yBQ89dQ42
Yuuki looked at her, unsure what to say.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN6gb14i2n
Yuuki: You... Are you my sister???
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIt74HLtXE
Asuna: Yes, I understand if you don't want anything to do with me anymore. After all, my parents just gave you away...
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqzlxYq2UL
Yuuki: Asuna... NO, NEVER! I always thought you were my best friend, but... This is even better.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKQN8Ljdfj
Yuuki hugged Asuna tightly, and they embraced for a long time. They now had a bond that would last forever.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOyGnPWsqt
At Eugeo and Alice
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeymksWDMX
Eugeo: Please, Alice, stay still.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNveVF8lHki
Alice stopped.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsnaClTec6
Alice: Eugeo, please go away. I don't want to see anyone.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNnpbOmUnL
Eugeo: No, I won't leave you alone like this.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw35JfpLtl
Eugeo: I'm sorry I never noticed. I didn't mean to hurt you.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvpoiHsQpQ
Alice: I know, and you've made your choice. That's just how it is.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRPrmsN8hC
Eugeo placed his hand on her shoulder.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZQlAQFmA
Eugeo: May I?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqgXMzHvY
Alice nodded.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU7SaEuONR
He pulled her into a hug.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKe2lNnIlj
Alice: Thank you, Eugeo. I really do.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5NrWio6r1
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWptIUpXcSm
Epilogue:
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJBoHJmVov
The next day, everyone met at Agile's bar to celebrate.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTOMV7kmZm
Kirito: So, let's drink to our new siblings, our new couple, and well... our new family relationships.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRYXv0js6l
Kirito: Kanpai
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kYLOgMCEj
Everyone: Kanpai
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneUMiERdVk
They stayed for several hours, laughing and talking
