It was December 17, 2025, when Kirito, Asuna, Eugeo, and Yuuki were together in New Aincrad, on level 22, in the wooden cabin.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrlMZwAjaX
They were eating cake when they heard the login sound. It was Alice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzAOTWhlSB
When Eugeo saw her, he stood up and hugged her. Alice immediately blushed bright red.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfqK4pqIpm
Yuuki then interrupted.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwoqsVEK9i
Yuuki: Asuna, would you like to meet up later in real life and go shopping?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2STNQdnS3o
Asuna: Sure, I'd love that. Afterwards, I can introduce you to my parents. They've wanted to meet you for a while now.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIQXOJNLuk
Then Yuuki and Asuna logged off.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDUjgwS2R
Eugeo: Kirito, are you coming with me? I wanted to get Liz to repair my sword.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QsWeKENEu
Kirito: No, I have to go offline and cook something. If I forget again, Sugu will rip my head off.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzZn5N7TeE
Eugeo: Then I'll go alone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi5j2vRb6z
At that moment, Alice's heart leaped. She couldn't get it up, not knowing how close Liz and Eugeo always were.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnNijGrim1
Alice: Um, well, Eugeo, I'll come with you.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4vFD3RRr
Eugeo: Oh, sure, you can come along.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ehMOCXWf
So Kirito logged out, and Alice and Eugeo set off.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4An7X0CTfe
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54yvFGjGSy
* at Yuuki and Asuna's
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlSnVz2L8w
They had finished shopping and entered Asuna's apartment.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPlfRonqhj
Asuna: Mom! Dad! I'm back! I brought someone with me.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jn58vwQWM
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEF1xkndwB
Asuna's father raised his voice: "ASUNA, THAT GIRL! YOU'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN, LET SHE LET SEE HER IN OUR APARTMENT!"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR3taFXNGr
With that, Yuuki left the house.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuSruAYw7A
Asuna was devastated. Her best friend... why? Why?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwG3gIkqq
She went to her room and cried.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeQVqyzxzS
Meanwhile, at Alice and Eugeo's place
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo1vFKWJ8l
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13kQExbJbM
They arrived at Liz's smithy.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmxatnbDcI
Liz: Hey Eugeo, how are you? she asked with a big smile.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIj7DFDNwj
Then she looked at Alice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNSrdnPIDx
Liz: Hey Alice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVJJi8KhuY
Eugeo grinned back.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YazAtY51W
Eugeo: I'm fine, but I need your help with this sword. It's really broken.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5aUdH8nvP
He showed it to Liz, and their hands touched for a few seconds.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyA20LxP0G
In Alice's opinion, a few seconds too long.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICssgKNqbt
Alice: Um, well... I have to go now.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRgcmblXJl
And before Liz or Eugeo could say anything, she was gone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxxcfNPVPx
Alice wandered around alone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaJAnQtlZ1
Alice: Idiot, Liz! Ugh, I'll use my sword someday.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumbQiU94Gr
She said to herself and continued walking.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq5E8p89cD
Kirito was cooking when Suguha came home from kendo practice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPARXyHwPL
She rushed into the kitchen to find Kirito cooking.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQc2MLlR4F
Kirito: Hey Sugu! Why are you so excited? I haven't forgotten to cook!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkBF0udctP
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTRtyZzrf0
Kirito: And that's why all the drama, Sugu! What's so special about that?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqoHhwVy4i
Suguha: No, Kirito, look!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRfkHzZofr
She pointed to a relative who lived from 1889 to 1960.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtX42Wz08H
The name: Dietrich Ryoutarou
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRP49omnu
Kirito looked up, confused.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDStAUDuvHV
Kirito: No, Suguha, that can't be right, it must be just a coincidence.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCPB1Sj3iy
Suguha: No, I called Klein earlier. He really did have a distant relative with that name.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASgCgq4iwz
Addendum: Kirito and Suguha later spoke with their parents, and Klein was indeed a distant relative of theirs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcPhDFDwNg
The next morning, Asuna woke up. Her parents called her downstairs to the living room.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T7vgdfQq6
Asuna's mother: We need to talk.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Eg6NVmV6
Asuna, sit silently.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMAz4s5roP
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtpWP11hid
Asuna looked at her.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUGKYXvkXY
Asuna: She's... My... sister...
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeCAB4HvTT
Asuna's mother: Yes, Asuna... And that's why it's better if you don't see her anymore.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI7pO1MxZJ
Asuna looked at her parents and became angry.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7REcR0pZnd
Asuna: No, no, and again, no! I will still see her, now more than ever. I'm not responsible for your mistakes.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgLTMpg8gc
Without hesitation, Asuna left the house.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFpTx5EUVU
* At Alice's side at that moment
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnBUTulnTi
She wanted to apologize to Eugeo for disappearing so suddenly yesterday when she saw them together in an alley.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEY35HyGCq
Eugeo and Liz... kissing.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ymTAwtri
Alice's heart broke into a thousand pieces at that moment.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhckVB7sN1s
Eugeo noticed Alice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ymaNIYGm
Eugeo: Oh, Alice, um, we didn't mean for it to be like this...
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJckRMiD3o
Alice interrupted her and started to cry.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90qpqmANC
Alice: You... You... You IDIOT!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuO8MfdKhi
Eugeo didn't understand at all.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gyQL54hPw
Alice: Haven't you ever noticed the looks I give you? I... I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, OK?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEqmT426e
Alice turned around and ran away.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcRDctCxNN
Eugeo: Alice, wait! But she was already gone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS638e56Itj
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCTXRYUnu9
Kirito and Suguha
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJudCDIDYrZ
They asked Klein to come to Alo; they wanted to talk to him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wlpQd3gGS
Klein logged in.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WMYu26RUs
Klein: So, you wanted to talk to me. What's up?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIASVNBuul
Suguha: Hey Klein, well, I found a book on our attic earlier, and according to this book, we're distant cousins.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JB23JUmk4
Klein: Wait, is this a joke???
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fVBTxDVNU
Kirito: No, it's not.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2c3n3iTx
They were both afraid of his reaction.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZHX6l4jIc
Klein: That's... YES, AWESOME! THEN WE'RE RELATED FROM TODAY ON!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkil9ZU5QDR
Kirito: You're not shocked?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW761o8a8M
Klein: NO, NOT AT ALL! This is awesome! Now I can always say I have a cousin.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczz2qALjpu
And so the three of them talked and laughed for several more hours.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4XnbXxYTp
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbVXrjf4CI
* Meanwhile, at Asuna's
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo5MHVhAjl
She walked through the park where she met Yuuki.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYC3jfdFT8
She sat down next to her in silence.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7gjAAZQFV
Asuna: Yuuki, can we talk for a minute?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y9vUxhpLQ
Yuuki: Sure, anytime.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9rDc8qjSs
Asuna: So, now I know why my parents reacted the way they did.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gM41uoWcp
She remained silent.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsMK0nmqw9
Asuna: My mother cheated on my father years ago and had a child.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8rp8ge5HX
...That child is you, Yuuki. You're my half-sister...
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhNoJQgBr
Yuuki looked at her, unsure what to say.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCLuJcQrN
Yuuki: You... Are you my sister???
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx541l6VOT
Asuna: Yes, I understand if you don't want anything to do with me anymore. After all, my parents just gave you away...
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqrjGeZI6R
Yuuki: Asuna... NO, NEVER! I always thought you were my best friend, but... This is even better.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtPt0rWT9x
Yuuki hugged Asuna tightly, and they embraced for a long time. They now had a bond that would last forever.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB7Kyq1KCw
At Eugeo and Alice
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IkCex7Noi
Eugeo: Please, Alice, stay still.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaVkDwfGkL
Alice stopped.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxaJJxX5yS
Alice: Eugeo, please go away. I don't want to see anyone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqzLje3En8
Eugeo: No, I won't leave you alone like this.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyM1NRSfa6
Eugeo: I'm sorry I never noticed. I didn't mean to hurt you.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxv17pNCis
Alice: I know, and you've made your choice. That's just how it is.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzqGZ6Igx
Eugeo placed his hand on her shoulder.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ATXfHDB4
Eugeo: May I?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0lu6G2i5X
Alice nodded.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPiXunJZ1j
He pulled her into a hug.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt13cIVGqIJ
Alice: Thank you, Eugeo. I really do.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N7DmvIZbZ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BlhNdcsXk
Epilogue:
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug2cXuqmbe
The next day, everyone met at Agile's bar to celebrate.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4T1WZSwxt
Kirito: So, let's drink to our new siblings, our new couple, and well... our new family relationships.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMyZF15ehP
Kirito: Kanpai
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiANULD4OF
Everyone: Kanpai
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMGqj9vxJM
They stayed for several hours, laughing and talking
