It was the morning after when Kirito knocked firmly on Suguha's door.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG63Dr0sta
Kirito: Suguha, get up! You're going to school!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd4XYqsCYe
Suguha moved a little, but instead Maple opened the door and said sleepily.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgf2M5vqcv
Maple: Good morning! She's sleeping like a log.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC4XxgyZyF
A few minutes passed, and Suguha finally got up and went to school.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9dWH21aLN
Kirito: And what are you going to do now?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7bXsBSwx
Kirito asked Maple.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4X6wLQrSi
Maple: I'll probably meet up with Risa.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6VoLwMqpA
Kirito looked at her, confused.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQSVU1k1x8
Kirito: With whom?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfYjnaiG2Q
Maple: Oh, sorry, I meant Sally, of course. We've been calling each other by our in-game names this whole time.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjFntrwV8P
Maple: My real name is Kaede, by the way.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO1yPF6tCs
Kirito: Oh, I see. :)
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk7cnbRZz1
They talked for a little while longer until Kaede left.
Kaede was walking down the street when she heard it.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW8D1aErX6
Kaede!!!!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0z2Jxob7d
A loud shout—it was Risa.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqU9B4oPz
Risa: There you are! How are you? Did everything go well?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7raT4ApC39
Kaede: Yep, except for Suguha starting to eat sweets at 3 a.m., everything was okay.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdNcLZpII8
Risa: Oh man. Well, at least I know how to operate a sniper rifle now. Sinon is talking about it to him.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwhTuM4rFQ
The two laughed and talked and went for a walk.
* At Kirito's
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hFT66jJO3
He arrived at school, still half asleep, when Asuna stood before him.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3vtfY3xSb
Asuna: Good morning, I brought you some coffee.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jwsnALXfj
Kirito looked at her and smiled.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI8XNxjil1
Kirito: Thank you, you're a sweetheart, that's exactly what I need right now.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQm9hASFGo
Liz: Oh man, you two, it's only 9 a.m.!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujG6JwdvLM
Asuna: Oh Liz, please let me!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFW57u3PhI
The three entered the school building.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaI2wWXWS0
Meanwhile, Rath Higa and Kikuoka were just getting up, unaware of what they were about to see...
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpsjxVb1im
Higa: Good morning, I'll take a look at the screen...
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfd04ceDMC
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?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hkFvahAqS
Higa: This can't be happening...
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugntfd5hJ9
They were both completely shocked.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJkO3K1BV4
Kikuoka: What are we going to do?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bw32OV0Mh
Higa: Maybe we should...
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm51wbubaX6
Kikuoka interrupted him.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcycjqlYyk
Kikuoka: No, absolutely no one can find out, that would be a disgrace.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu9l2NRjlU
Higa started the system and saw that data was being transmitted from here to the outside.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9bUcZvDps
Kikuoka looked at the screen.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVs0zv7lZz
Kikuoka: Disconnect, Higa.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaTQJ3UTUF
It was chaos, and after some time, the biggest problem seemed to be resolved.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oQs9Gu7Ki
Kikuoka: Oh man, how could this have happened?
Meanwhile, Kirito, Asuna, and Liz had just finished school.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11erkO7XEN
Kirito: OMG, I hate math!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoe31osggQ
Liz: Kirito, if it were up to you, you'd live in VR!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE3tg5GBbw
Everyone laughs when suddenly Kirito's phone rings. He answers it.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMggHXuy9c
Seven: Kirito?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNd1wHb25f
Kirito: Hey Seven, how's it going?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8OaaoU8OW
Seven: Good, and you?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaiV607fmg
Kirito: Me too.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5WHlb9py6
But tell me, something's wrong, you don't usually call.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ETLZ7zAs
Seven: You know me too well, apparently.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEV03gMxro
I received an email with no sender, and I think you might be interested.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg6q2o4t2D
She sends him the picture, and he opens it. The Underworld is completely destroyed.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX32md6sSKv
Kirito: That's... OK, thanks for sending it. I'll get back to you soon.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMZ5yv5KXZ
Seven is about to say something when he hangs up.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz6QFy0ubf
Kirito: Liz Asuna, please follow me...
The three of them were walking through the park when
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDhuFVQn4P
Kaede: Kirito, Asuna, Liz!!!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡystOToCURy
It was Kaede and Risa.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihgnyKMyf9
Kirito continued walking without saying anything.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyJFbh2gQr
Asuna: Hey, you two, come with me. I don't know where he's going so badly.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHhGDODxIi
Kaede and Risa followed the three of them.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5cj66PuLC
They arrived at the main town hall.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TdXklPdtv
Kirito tried to open the locked door.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E1wgadNlN
Asuna had rarely seen Kirito so upset.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtHsoqizlG
Kirito tried calling several people, but no one answered. You could see how nervous he was.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MryF56CHF
Asuna: Kirito, please drink something. What's going on?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYuG74Fz1z
He took Asuna's water bottle and took a sip.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN80PTjpUXR
He then held out his phone.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmZ7vbkO5u
Liz and Asuna stared at him in shock. Kaede and Risa didn't understand at all.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMrhkxaExl
Asuna: Is this her... Underworld?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN08uEwXHM
Kirito: Yes.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnaHYK9r6e
Risa: Would you be so kind as to explain?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggG5ZDJUEZ
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpatRtbyHH
Kirito: Yes, of course, come.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxKnxD5cdb
They walk through the park and tell him everything that happened a few months ago.
Kaede: Oh man, a lot has really happened!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoR01gwFBk
Risa: And that explains your reaction. If that's true, we have to help the inhabitants of this underworld.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CiYMyyJOm
Kirito: We should see what happens tomorrow and go home first.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjITSGqdTy
Everyone says goodbye and goes home.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr86IgpbGs
It's now 11 PM. Kirito is almost asleep when his phone suddenly rings.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RNUzMJ3DJ
It says Kikuoka on the screen.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iCRzhmU6r
Kikuoka answers.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fji0h68ys
Kirito: Come to the harbor immediately!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJwtPsYTtS
Kirito: First, I want to know what's up with this picture of the underworld.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8GWnJEjFO
Kikuoka: How do you know about it?!
... Kirito: Seven received an unknown email with the photo.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM0cbMDnhP
Kikuoka: Damn, so guesses have been sent out.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpl15MWBSt
Kikuoka: I'll explain everything, but first come to the harbor... ALONE.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUkgFeoQlt
Kirito doesn't hesitate, puts on his jacket, and leaves the house.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnnAsyKZ5o
At that moment,
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMh9qydman
Kaede: Suguha, did you hear that?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw2ZYrX6fm
Suguha: Yes, I did. That doesn't sound good. He's probably putting himself in danger again.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMsHQbAgWU
Kaede: What should we do?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV95UW4tkt
Suguha: I'll call Asuna. You call Sally... I mean Risa and Sinon.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxKQBUVD12
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW2uB46Ik0
Asuna: So what's so urgent? I almost broke my foot jumping out the window.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5MD10iK1V
Suguha: Kirito got a call telling him to come to the harbor. I have a bad feeling he's putting himself in danger.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugmatyI2QB
Sinon: Well then, off to the harbor!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyYucax4ai
They go to the harbor and see Kirito getting on a boat.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eUFFrtMyO
The boat starts moving at that moment.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPuq38wCWj
Risa: Come quickly!!!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G4KyCX4lC
The five of them take a running start and jump onto the boat.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEYS48fPqM
They see a wooden box and all go inside.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJoQPrZ6PY
Sinon: Ouch, that was my foot!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvqXSuI2x1
Kaede: Sorry!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRSqMd7iks
They travel for a while.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS8PpHvAyG
Kirito looks ahead until he sees it:
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqjug7QcUN
The Ocean Turtle.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt6ghYm0k1
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO4RQC9B1w
Asuna: Are they gone?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINUr5o7qre
Suguha: I'll go and see.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw90unCOxk
Suguha: I'm leaving the box. No one's there.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaNpkPbXj1
Suguha: The coast is clear.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kn7B3UkH2
Risa: Wow, this is huge!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatZ3rTS0IT
The five of them looked for the entrance to get in.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSWUNemN79
*Inside
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRih6BQAg6m
Kikuoka: Kirito, there you are! It's great that you could get here so quickly.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNrYl6DOUg
Kirito: Yeah, great! How is this even possible? I thought the Ocean Turtle had been closed?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2peuY2VtSV
Kikuoka: Yes, that's right, but we got the go-ahead to reopen it two weeks ago.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXsCYwL6Da
Kirito: So, what about the Underworld?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGUctfT0bb
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?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsIjxquuBK
Kirito: I'm supposed to go in there alone if it looks like this?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tR1aS9Woe
Kikuoka: No, of course not.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGlnfR0tQ0
At that moment, the door opens and Alice and Eugeo enter.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8646gU25HN
Eugeo & Alice: Hey Kirito!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz53g8qW0rl
Kirito: Oh, I'm really glad to see you. So, are you both ready?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOHPE5BKcs
Everyone says yes.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhHJUDkUCc
Kikuoka: Great, then we can start. If no one else...
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0h65brRLU
He is interrupted.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8JkaTJUzd
Voice: Oh, yes, we have quite a few questions.
It's Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, Risa, and Kaede.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGZwRPC6X5
Kikuoka: What?!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZURsQHzSG3
Higa: We urgently need to hire new staff; this is the second time this has happened.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzWVVaEXkk
Kirito: Asuna... Suguha
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaLfLQ1zEW
He knew exactly what he was going to get in trouble for. They both stood in front of him.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnGXxGBZFJ
Asuna: Do you even know how worried I was?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh5Kl07bPt
Suguha: Mom definitely won't like this.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0OXhdfHsT
Kirito: She won't like it any more than she likes you being here.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlckTB9VSWw
Suguha: That's true.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4E0IjxMVC
Asuna looked down and hugged him.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYzLmlAba7
Asuna: Don't do that again, understand?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvqLka9Gs3
Eugeo: So, can we go then?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ThYCABZP
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoA4YumKQu
Everyone gets ready and Kikouka logs them all into the Underworld.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sLJqghMjP
Alice: Whoa, Eugeo... Our home is completely destroyed...
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESaJwi0SnN
Sally: Maple, whoa, we even have our items here and stuff.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYRmMUop5u
Sally: You're right.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQkgw286gA
They walk through the city where an injured person is lying on the ground.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOyYmbEu05
Asuna bends down.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiw45iAdTk
Asuna: Hey, do you need help?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGeM7rImbm
Person: Up there... Vec...
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAngGWcGIjT
They turn around and there's someone in the air.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprcYZik0Bi
Kirito: Guys, get ready for battle!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKUNvO5xSb
Kirito: Show yourself!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9FU55oE8M
Voice 1: Why so angry? We were just having fun!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5oO6BFvBC
Eugeo: Who's "we"?
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uFMN5X6cZ
