It was the morning after when Kirito knocked firmly on Suguha's door.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7rdOc6JgG
Kirito: Suguha, get up! You're going to school!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVzYpJPfEl
Suguha moved a little, but instead Maple opened the door and said sleepily.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKPwr9N3g7
Maple: Good morning! She's sleeping like a log.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLf9nIoI4P
A few minutes passed, and Suguha finally got up and went to school.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY3b0wGIgJ
Kirito: And what are you going to do now?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdqetE9S0N
Kirito asked Maple.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONeaDd1XS5
Maple: I'll probably meet up with Risa.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXroAYB1tQZ
Kirito looked at her, confused.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0mdov24zS
Kirito: With whom?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQWKaqRm2
Maple: Oh, sorry, I meant Sally, of course. We've been calling each other by our in-game names this whole time.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAdmeh1mqQ
Maple: My real name is Kaede, by the way.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAku60vA2w0
Kirito: Oh, I see. :)
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvie5o341k
They talked for a little while longer until Kaede left.
Kaede was walking down the street when she heard it.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDEwI7RhAD
Kaede!!!!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbgPQABa56
A loud shout—it was Risa.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrffFZUZuC
Risa: There you are! How are you? Did everything go well?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOXARfVO4N
Kaede: Yep, except for Suguha starting to eat sweets at 3 a.m., everything was okay.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33DOaG87mI
Risa: Oh man. Well, at least I know how to operate a sniper rifle now. Sinon is talking about it to him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnBKEteEIN
The two laughed and talked and went for a walk.
* At Kirito's
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjUHVZTQHc
He arrived at school, still half asleep, when Asuna stood before him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡassEeddDis
Asuna: Good morning, I brought you some coffee.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvcEpYfLe4
Kirito looked at her and smiled.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pfdLoo8g7
Kirito: Thank you, you're a sweetheart, that's exactly what I need right now.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPE2u23rDo
Liz: Oh man, you two, it's only 9 a.m.!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vJEdg8V1O
Asuna: Oh Liz, please let me!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnke6thB5q
The three entered the school building.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEQFnCyNyQ
Meanwhile, Rath Higa and Kikuoka were just getting up, unaware of what they were about to see...
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe9RnANhAu
Higa: Good morning, I'll take a look at the screen...
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kN56LB6tS
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?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyufX3IH2Hg
Higa: This can't be happening...
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtmiSVsNKl
They were both completely shocked.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2gXi0ZzaI
Kikuoka: What are we going to do?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJftYlvwU
Higa: Maybe we should...
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7OUgJrczN
Kikuoka interrupted him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6xjwlKBS0
Kikuoka: No, absolutely no one can find out, that would be a disgrace.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnnUtyzN8w
Higa started the system and saw that data was being transmitted from here to the outside.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLh1qNM5a0
Kikuoka looked at the screen.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaLgAz0yrL
Kikuoka: Disconnect, Higa.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0muAZBQRTI
It was chaos, and after some time, the biggest problem seemed to be resolved.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOVeht7UGg
Kikuoka: Oh man, how could this have happened?
Meanwhile, Kirito, Asuna, and Liz had just finished school.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqaLnj1cXw
Kirito: OMG, I hate math!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD93lr5jkb
Liz: Kirito, if it were up to you, you'd live in VR!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadziRigmh5
Everyone laughs when suddenly Kirito's phone rings. He answers it.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ELDHMhD9
Seven: Kirito?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAabxXECgBG
Kirito: Hey Seven, how's it going?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLfT2GIDzd
Seven: Good, and you?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHMZgzpiXd
Kirito: Me too.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG46RC0fu6
But tell me, something's wrong, you don't usually call.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQrcucNGow
Seven: You know me too well, apparently.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbTEqBbSrj
I received an email with no sender, and I think you might be interested.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtywCr1DLo1
She sends him the picture, and he opens it. The Underworld is completely destroyed.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj77Wt73Wo
Kirito: That's... OK, thanks for sending it. I'll get back to you soon.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIUFf1COxQ
Seven is about to say something when he hangs up.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDlIHZz7hA
Kirito: Liz Asuna, please follow me...
The three of them were walking through the park when
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicpLNbTRtD
Kaede: Kirito, Asuna, Liz!!!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisYjhnObvZ
It was Kaede and Risa.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1u7spxTpy
Kirito continued walking without saying anything.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07EspOdWWc
Asuna: Hey, you two, come with me. I don't know where he's going so badly.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrikCuhBFui
Kaede and Risa followed the three of them.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa6HkjNkMD
They arrived at the main town hall.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfj7cNB2p9
Kirito tried to open the locked door.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ehFFhxo8D
Asuna had rarely seen Kirito so upset.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDmuVL5LXH
Kirito tried calling several people, but no one answered. You could see how nervous he was.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUJZ7TOWWW
Asuna: Kirito, please drink something. What's going on?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PfxErr35Q
He took Asuna's water bottle and took a sip.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp5CvlQ0mt
He then held out his phone.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCOvnE4Pke
Liz and Asuna stared at him in shock. Kaede and Risa didn't understand at all.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8guOl4BhS
Asuna: Is this her... Underworld?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMrUR2KC9g
Kirito: Yes.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKja00MUmxe
Risa: Would you be so kind as to explain?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7VNCZyNTX
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfHIMMs8yx
Kirito: Yes, of course, come.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8GDlm92dP
They walk through the park and tell him everything that happened a few months ago.
Kaede: Oh man, a lot has really happened!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB4XBobVbX
Risa: And that explains your reaction. If that's true, we have to help the inhabitants of this underworld.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7uzgXQWQz
Kirito: We should see what happens tomorrow and go home first.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdtDr0aUAb
Everyone says goodbye and goes home.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFktTrhD3zh
It's now 11 PM. Kirito is almost asleep when his phone suddenly rings.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABA3fYWmlU
It says Kikuoka on the screen.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL2BqrrX5E
Kikuoka answers.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdGAy8fdd3
Kirito: Come to the harbor immediately!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGdWqPISWQ
Kirito: First, I want to know what's up with this picture of the underworld.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb9TsoTswj
Kikuoka: How do you know about it?!
... Kirito: Seven received an unknown email with the photo.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hMFJbAZSx
Kikuoka: Damn, so guesses have been sent out.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpTyyQYOjv
Kikuoka: I'll explain everything, but first come to the harbor... ALONE.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkDkYChu1o
Kirito doesn't hesitate, puts on his jacket, and leaves the house.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw8RdYgOhP
At that moment,
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Jc860lHQ
Kaede: Suguha, did you hear that?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PSpNWBcuW
Suguha: Yes, I did. That doesn't sound good. He's probably putting himself in danger again.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbOXfkjfAt
Kaede: What should we do?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o7ZdUmGjT
Suguha: I'll call Asuna. You call Sally... I mean Risa and Sinon.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YuykKYaL
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo26BW0d4Lb
Asuna: So what's so urgent? I almost broke my foot jumping out the window.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvApAMCK1u
Suguha: Kirito got a call telling him to come to the harbor. I have a bad feeling he's putting himself in danger.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxiLUboLd5
Sinon: Well then, off to the harbor!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJhTJPaQxU
They go to the harbor and see Kirito getting on a boat.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ycrn13QB
The boat starts moving at that moment.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ApNIgOoFa
Risa: Come quickly!!!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc3ndfx8JV
The five of them take a running start and jump onto the boat.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIgqAXclu4
They see a wooden box and all go inside.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7BPA0PK8r
Sinon: Ouch, that was my foot!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNeTBEsNwj
Kaede: Sorry!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CbcXIDtIE
They travel for a while.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5UOlVu8PL
Kirito looks ahead until he sees it:
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mTkbSZA2E
The Ocean Turtle.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF0g0W3S34
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHmmtBcvWR
Asuna: Are they gone?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz42CJPgsR3
Suguha: I'll go and see.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05S7ccTRns
Suguha: I'm leaving the box. No one's there.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBIDJu7K01
Suguha: The coast is clear.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhijRvQ70RX
Risa: Wow, this is huge!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrgrOF97ei
The five of them looked for the entrance to get in.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gebnF5ZBr
*Inside
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUYSTPdbIE
Kikuoka: Kirito, there you are! It's great that you could get here so quickly.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWErDfOPsT
Kirito: Yeah, great! How is this even possible? I thought the Ocean Turtle had been closed?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoDvT0bgBf
Kikuoka: Yes, that's right, but we got the go-ahead to reopen it two weeks ago.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifrjRrQdzq
Kirito: So, what about the Underworld?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcmnZ036W9
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?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpDJAVLKTn
Kirito: I'm supposed to go in there alone if it looks like this?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l3XVfbpWl
Kikuoka: No, of course not.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqImUqzUZr
At that moment, the door opens and Alice and Eugeo enter.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiBRL3A1aO
Eugeo & Alice: Hey Kirito!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBnXreqnYX
Kirito: Oh, I'm really glad to see you. So, are you both ready?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr2bEYnbqK
Everyone says yes.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55GSx2CTQD
Kikuoka: Great, then we can start. If no one else...
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRxmFP3YJl
He is interrupted.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBRBRqaJzJ
Voice: Oh, yes, we have quite a few questions.
It's Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, Risa, and Kaede.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDrGwVH4M4
Kikuoka: What?!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZqJ3qnpUh
Higa: We urgently need to hire new staff; this is the second time this has happened.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnhiPUho9c
Kirito: Asuna... Suguha
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kOUUR1Y1V
He knew exactly what he was going to get in trouble for. They both stood in front of him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca5jk4hRpo
Asuna: Do you even know how worried I was?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvVGFZycQ9
Suguha: Mom definitely won't like this.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLazHXlqgC
Kirito: She won't like it any more than she likes you being here.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjekabNtBg9
Suguha: That's true.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDUtYGiueJ
Asuna looked down and hugged him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gn0ETe3IV
Asuna: Don't do that again, understand?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNUywqXOLs
Eugeo: So, can we go then?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfajyWOBnL
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQJuGL6Miz
Everyone gets ready and Kikouka logs them all into the Underworld.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLksmgoe1T9
Alice: Whoa, Eugeo... Our home is completely destroyed...
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wsuMl50K4
Sally: Maple, whoa, we even have our items here and stuff.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13btqtsVuu
Sally: You're right.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdoRPV9BoV
They walk through the city where an injured person is lying on the ground.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6iev2pEpK
Asuna bends down.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrql3vouRbb
Asuna: Hey, do you need help?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtJpuSb8Ik
Person: Up there... Vec...
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XYmXrG2tF
They turn around and there's someone in the air.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6WqIb3wLz
Kirito: Guys, get ready for battle!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxOI4p5Axp
Kirito: Show yourself!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLj0BMjcyN
Voice 1: Why so angry? We were just having fun!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnvnJc8kvS
Eugeo: Who's "we"?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoDYT44VkH
Voice 2: Long time no see, Blacky!
