It was the morning after when Kirito knocked firmly on Suguha's door.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVi13ijqEr
Kirito: Suguha, get up! You're going to school!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7O7s68e36
Suguha moved a little, but instead Maple opened the door and said sleepily.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1WvFF16Zm
Maple: Good morning! She's sleeping like a log.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ44bRcKve
A few minutes passed, and Suguha finally got up and went to school.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfYoUFYMAO
Kirito: And what are you going to do now?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcnmxrpbaK
Kirito asked Maple.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugRYOWccd
Maple: I'll probably meet up with Risa.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WX0vW04oi
Kirito looked at her, confused.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuxSAB1w11
Kirito: With whom?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJQd8C4juP
Maple: Oh, sorry, I meant Sally, of course. We've been calling each other by our in-game names this whole time.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg8c7hI4WD
Maple: My real name is Kaede, by the way.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93tVJMgEqp
Kirito: Oh, I see. :)
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXRZ8RLBQ3
They talked for a little while longer until Kaede left.
Kaede was walking down the street when she heard it.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2W6Tikf1s
Kaede!!!!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaLQka5Lgr
A loud shout—it was Risa.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV2mnIwmkH
Risa: There you are! How are you? Did everything go well?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3pYyqFcRC
Kaede: Yep, except for Suguha starting to eat sweets at 3 a.m., everything was okay.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpyW0kaqux
Risa: Oh man. Well, at least I know how to operate a sniper rifle now. Sinon is talking about it to him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTVOqRXyEx
The two laughed and talked and went for a walk.
* At Kirito's
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkdPHwFUXQ
He arrived at school, still half asleep, when Asuna stood before him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLxiSWyL3q
Asuna: Good morning, I brought you some coffee.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjq4cLguiS
Kirito looked at her and smiled.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMUlrz7Za9
Kirito: Thank you, you're a sweetheart, that's exactly what I need right now.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRU1XxJ9nB
Liz: Oh man, you two, it's only 9 a.m.!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ce5CLKOjW
Asuna: Oh Liz, please let me!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsMcYlTsDa
The three entered the school building.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQHYmO0vHE
Meanwhile, Rath Higa and Kikuoka were just getting up, unaware of what they were about to see...
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7qE0FXDwv
Higa: Good morning, I'll take a look at the screen...
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IFT7JNQoi
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?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBQqK61rEP
Higa: This can't be happening...
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelBJ1YPNTC
They were both completely shocked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfH86bb22Z
Kikuoka: What are we going to do?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeEexw7fJe
Higa: Maybe we should...
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPImX5aIqr
Kikuoka interrupted him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy8R2wLv4n
Kikuoka: No, absolutely no one can find out, that would be a disgrace.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovLtrPBS2
Higa started the system and saw that data was being transmitted from here to the outside.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhMJAPijIp
Kikuoka looked at the screen.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlaMf39pk
Kikuoka: Disconnect, Higa.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbCkraoQIK
It was chaos, and after some time, the biggest problem seemed to be resolved.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7SnwYagEy
Kikuoka: Oh man, how could this have happened?
Meanwhile, Kirito, Asuna, and Liz had just finished school.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSwI9rYK5K
Kirito: OMG, I hate math!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxzC3K7m0D
Liz: Kirito, if it were up to you, you'd live in VR!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbL4pFu6NA
Everyone laughs when suddenly Kirito's phone rings. He answers it.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJNOhMiJsH
Seven: Kirito?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3T6yw8PX7
Kirito: Hey Seven, how's it going?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WlmplqQq9
Seven: Good, and you?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJVrG8i2RO
Kirito: Me too.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu5YUJuF7t
But tell me, something's wrong, you don't usually call.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyuabE4h28
Seven: You know me too well, apparently.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RaQ3Qy3rP
I received an email with no sender, and I think you might be interested.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYHQ0MekWC
She sends him the picture, and he opens it. The Underworld is completely destroyed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyA0YGNoGF
Kirito: That's... OK, thanks for sending it. I'll get back to you soon.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P9HYDEUP5
Seven is about to say something when he hangs up.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOto1DMC5x0
Kirito: Liz Asuna, please follow me...
The three of them were walking through the park when
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL9s7iJB3h
Kaede: Kirito, Asuna, Liz!!!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T6wFVkyff
It was Kaede and Risa.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVQ7ZGDPoi
Kirito continued walking without saying anything.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuug80kyfL5
Asuna: Hey, you two, come with me. I don't know where he's going so badly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLll5jDHFNG
Kaede and Risa followed the three of them.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0znEwhDAdy
They arrived at the main town hall.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkKCrnGpSt
Kirito tried to open the locked door.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMotPHpPOu
Asuna had rarely seen Kirito so upset.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVWF0kEKXX
Kirito tried calling several people, but no one answered. You could see how nervous he was.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xvLX6g6NI
Asuna: Kirito, please drink something. What's going on?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CGHpbqcqH
He took Asuna's water bottle and took a sip.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtds6roBS1u
He then held out his phone.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxBsWsCxQA
Liz and Asuna stared at him in shock. Kaede and Risa didn't understand at all.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRO1M0VrvG
Asuna: Is this her... Underworld?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3LDz29qXr
Kirito: Yes.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby0Wc5qGkM
Risa: Would you be so kind as to explain?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jnKMNt2CH
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmZ1eTiFGc
Kirito: Yes, of course, come.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg3IWXgyUc
They walk through the park and tell him everything that happened a few months ago.
Kaede: Oh man, a lot has really happened!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzirEjLqxnu
Risa: And that explains your reaction. If that's true, we have to help the inhabitants of this underworld.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKUcvLQZi8
Kirito: We should see what happens tomorrow and go home first.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlI40ctFK3
Everyone says goodbye and goes home.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkACMLD5UQP
It's now 11 PM. Kirito is almost asleep when his phone suddenly rings.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnZAZIrnGQ
It says Kikuoka on the screen.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nhEM4QATh
Kikuoka answers.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0OLtwjT88
Kirito: Come to the harbor immediately!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1c3aEKj4G
Kirito: First, I want to know what's up with this picture of the underworld.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeixNyna83
Kikuoka: How do you know about it?!
... Kirito: Seven received an unknown email with the photo.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQwfUtoKR6
Kikuoka: Damn, so guesses have been sent out.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHux3QYExM7
Kikuoka: I'll explain everything, but first come to the harbor... ALONE.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNLZf6YRNk
Kirito doesn't hesitate, puts on his jacket, and leaves the house.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqTi8wsJLx
At that moment,
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ZlTNz4Vw
Kaede: Suguha, did you hear that?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH41lnpcso
Suguha: Yes, I did. That doesn't sound good. He's probably putting himself in danger again.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1O227jwvk
Kaede: What should we do?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu4ehFhnl5
Suguha: I'll call Asuna. You call Sally... I mean Risa and Sinon.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bYLJ4rkX5
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibXqzB4FBQ
Asuna: So what's so urgent? I almost broke my foot jumping out the window.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9unt4m3Il4
Suguha: Kirito got a call telling him to come to the harbor. I have a bad feeling he's putting himself in danger.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO7Ryi6Vh2
Sinon: Well then, off to the harbor!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIQr2sYSfX
They go to the harbor and see Kirito getting on a boat.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tnu08xKTa
The boat starts moving at that moment.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zl61IccOl
Risa: Come quickly!!!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3xyEOLpLp
The five of them take a running start and jump onto the boat.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJutsM7A4b
They see a wooden box and all go inside.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JSP1R8nwR
Sinon: Ouch, that was my foot!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8adnvdK1c4
Kaede: Sorry!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9LqtRq1yo
They travel for a while.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GItTK8hkK
Kirito looks ahead until he sees it:
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsncISm1WX
The Ocean Turtle.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaLcDxhdMG
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN68A0qsPtC
Asuna: Are they gone?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa744dqBIV2
Suguha: I'll go and see.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NjZV4grFv
Suguha: I'm leaving the box. No one's there.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcinwYHAge
Suguha: The coast is clear.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEfi6IhFrA
Risa: Wow, this is huge!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg17cCkHZMz
The five of them looked for the entrance to get in.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflO0KpRRTk
*Inside
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9l6o5DDhy
Kikuoka: Kirito, there you are! It's great that you could get here so quickly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj9oVu7iEC
Kirito: Yeah, great! How is this even possible? I thought the Ocean Turtle had been closed?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sKpQ47CTL
Kikuoka: Yes, that's right, but we got the go-ahead to reopen it two weeks ago.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWCK4BgM1e
Kirito: So, what about the Underworld?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbMPvspphj
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?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uqSUa8bpf
Kirito: I'm supposed to go in there alone if it looks like this?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxZKzlCfMj
Kikuoka: No, of course not.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NdN3Oo607
At that moment, the door opens and Alice and Eugeo enter.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEHYsALis4
Eugeo & Alice: Hey Kirito!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl02ulH4AZ
Kirito: Oh, I'm really glad to see you. So, are you both ready?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoIc2osq34
Everyone says yes.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKu6RxbQsD
Kikuoka: Great, then we can start. If no one else...
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXtvXMK1KK
He is interrupted.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u2G36AAf9
Voice: Oh, yes, we have quite a few questions.
It's Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, Risa, and Kaede.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINSmF0FpSA
Kikuoka: What?!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrUpXQth8
Higa: We urgently need to hire new staff; this is the second time this has happened.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9O1OUDjE7
Kirito: Asuna... Suguha
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX6yG02Q48
He knew exactly what he was going to get in trouble for. They both stood in front of him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA9ACpNjoy
Asuna: Do you even know how worried I was?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUshTQh5k6R
Suguha: Mom definitely won't like this.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xjAe6T3bG
Kirito: She won't like it any more than she likes you being here.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMcOTaIPE8
Suguha: That's true.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLA3LhfPn3
Asuna looked down and hugged him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOxRD8ti80
Asuna: Don't do that again, understand?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTpA5eUMva
Eugeo: So, can we go then?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqB8PpFwf7
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrGQQ0WS4T
Everyone gets ready and Kikouka logs them all into the Underworld.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE7Yyh9C6M
Alice: Whoa, Eugeo... Our home is completely destroyed...
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2QoJ64Sxq
Sally: Maple, whoa, we even have our items here and stuff.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBgVq4WjLd
Sally: You're right.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJTlANDKFe
They walk through the city where an injured person is lying on the ground.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZVshwSSpq
Asuna bends down.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ydCy9eUT
Asuna: Hey, do you need help?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34QHiWM01G
Person: Up there... Vec...
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHCx6SFQnk
They turn around and there's someone in the air.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGldyuaBE1
Kirito: Guys, get ready for battle!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvzN2mVy6O
Kirito: Show yourself!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGYdXBSqAc
Voice 1: Why so angry? We were just having fun!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ROfmYVr7S
Eugeo: Who's "we"?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA70h6q06t2
Voice 2: Long time no see, Blacky!
