It was December 17, 2025, when Kirito, Asuna, Eugeo, and Yuuki were together in New Aincrad, on level 22, in the wooden cabin.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ki0SDYx5b
They were eating cake when they heard the login sound. It was Alice.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm2DMwOGo4
When Eugeo saw her, he stood up and hugged her. Alice immediately blushed bright red.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jFb0Mcavj
Yuuki then interrupted.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSzxR731Cx
Yuuki: Asuna, would you like to meet up later in real life and go shopping?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg7ORiQHO4
Asuna: Sure, I'd love that. Afterwards, I can introduce you to my parents. They've wanted to meet you for a while now.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZUsaRSCad
Then Yuuki and Asuna logged off.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3grYfHaWd
Eugeo: Kirito, are you coming with me? I wanted to get Liz to repair my sword.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC3I5zOg59
Kirito: No, I have to go offline and cook something. If I forget again, Sugu will rip my head off.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ic9rEaap5
Eugeo: Then I'll go alone.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYAS3ZqEu4
At that moment, Alice's heart leaped. She couldn't get it up, not knowing how close Liz and Eugeo always were.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmygA8A9sb
Alice: Um, well, Eugeo, I'll come with you.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjcd7e8Qsi
Eugeo: Oh, sure, you can come along.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EEfRXQVFn
So Kirito logged out, and Alice and Eugeo set off.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHfony5zEb
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnywLQeGpN7
* at Yuuki and Asuna's
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaocQerowNO
They had finished shopping and entered Asuna's apartment.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T84xTpfTR
Asuna: Mom! Dad! I'm back! I brought someone with me.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeB52HKBzJ
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sGwHpf0o3
Asuna's father raised his voice: "ASUNA, THAT GIRL! YOU'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN, LET SHE LET SEE HER IN OUR APARTMENT!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBJKFLScaj
With that, Yuuki left the house.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqJZr2S521
Asuna was devastated. Her best friend... why? Why?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkUGyx3DFD
She went to her room and cried.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYibrflkPj
Meanwhile, at Alice and Eugeo's place
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqiiLPkMuc
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ur11vGrA4
They arrived at Liz's smithy.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOaBStZKSj
Liz: Hey Eugeo, how are you? she asked with a big smile.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IQXhQOBON
Then she looked at Alice.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz6il7SUcA
Liz: Hey Alice.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZMVUYDtTo
Eugeo grinned back.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVacdra6iD
Eugeo: I'm fine, but I need your help with this sword. It's really broken.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbTtXcnYIY
He showed it to Liz, and their hands touched for a few seconds.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMtvtwZ1xN
In Alice's opinion, a few seconds too long.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6DmkLShFU
Alice: Um, well... I have to go now.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHR8Xnb8Ok
And before Liz or Eugeo could say anything, she was gone.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClA3gu27bF
Alice wandered around alone.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgZAzYMhGC
Alice: Idiot, Liz! Ugh, I'll use my sword someday.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMbFkPmfNI
She said to herself and continued walking.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHSTMC3HJc
Kirito was cooking when Suguha came home from kendo practice.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrtrjHBYFm
She rushed into the kitchen to find Kirito cooking.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNsQl77piK
Kirito: Hey Sugu! Why are you so excited? I haven't forgotten to cook!
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQIXjClex
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ueszg5sw
Kirito: And that's why all the drama, Sugu! What's so special about that?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJHvoYIoVY
Suguha: No, Kirito, look!
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZb3jQSGMc
She pointed to a relative who lived from 1889 to 1960.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xDT1dCEi7
The name: Dietrich Ryoutarou
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbL8cLHLBp
Kirito looked up, confused.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoHmXG7Zmg
Kirito: No, Suguha, that can't be right, it must be just a coincidence.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea6R4dlmQ1
Suguha: No, I called Klein earlier. He really did have a distant relative with that name.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawx4uz14EC
Addendum: Kirito and Suguha later spoke with their parents, and Klein was indeed a distant relative of theirs.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb9XZO5JTD
The next morning, Asuna woke up. Her parents called her downstairs to the living room.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJIOGUs6p6
Asuna's mother: We need to talk.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia65Lwu5lx
Asuna, sit silently.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAISKIepcAG
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIfDBunqut
Asuna looked at her.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjtILFdvik
Asuna: She's... My... sister...
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTHu7EySNJ
Asuna's mother: Yes, Asuna... And that's why it's better if you don't see her anymore.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqzqtWXpL3
Asuna looked at her parents and became angry.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqlmSPWj8Y
Asuna: No, no, and again, no! I will still see her, now more than ever. I'm not responsible for your mistakes.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt02PfY6PDV
Without hesitation, Asuna left the house.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrz65O62Sn
* At Alice's side at that moment
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5AcB6D5Yk
She wanted to apologize to Eugeo for disappearing so suddenly yesterday when she saw them together in an alley.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifyZVR9V7k
Eugeo and Liz... kissing.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsylEoNfEq7
Alice's heart broke into a thousand pieces at that moment.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV33MJam5D
Eugeo noticed Alice.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpTVTZ0TiC
Eugeo: Oh, Alice, um, we didn't mean for it to be like this...
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TZf6FNkOA
Alice interrupted her and started to cry.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3irIT4Qy20
Alice: You... You... You IDIOT!
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPCCETk9PG
Eugeo didn't understand at all.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTPWx4pQc6
Alice: Haven't you ever noticed the looks I give you? I... I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, OK?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeIrmQczCY
Alice turned around and ran away.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj0NPir4Fc
Eugeo: Alice, wait! But she was already gone.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShcYu65pPJ
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDk1iprwts
Kirito and Suguha
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRxzgsw3rY
They asked Klein to come to Alo; they wanted to talk to him.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWb5y1Uzuv
Klein logged in.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa45ljfo6W
Klein: So, you wanted to talk to me. What's up?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VenhKlrnH
Suguha: Hey Klein, well, I found a book on our attic earlier, and according to this book, we're distant cousins.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9AA7HWDE9
Klein: Wait, is this a joke???
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi33hJIUGnS
Kirito: No, it's not.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8smGZYQ6l
They were both afraid of his reaction.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG5Kdad2S2
Klein: That's... YES, AWESOME! THEN WE'RE RELATED FROM TODAY ON!
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1uR801Cv9
Kirito: You're not shocked?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2sYrqI16B
Klein: NO, NOT AT ALL! This is awesome! Now I can always say I have a cousin.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wcPOdvpmV
And so the three of them talked and laughed for several more hours.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlngKz1kpLB
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI5cH3H0Vu
* Meanwhile, at Asuna's
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkGKkYBzcx
She walked through the park where she met Yuuki.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULRQkc6HbU
She sat down next to her in silence.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60hxMY9OgU
Asuna: Yuuki, can we talk for a minute?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22nnT7QYNG
Yuuki: Sure, anytime.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkBWOkVBoN
Asuna: So, now I know why my parents reacted the way they did.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCMfvb3lDK
She remained silent.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lRV83kRUW
Asuna: My mother cheated on my father years ago and had a child.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVeWPgUxSm
...That child is you, Yuuki. You're my half-sister...
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXEVXStdno
Yuuki looked at her, unsure what to say.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48xhSILm5W
Yuuki: You... Are you my sister???
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ov3Jr2Vdb
Asuna: Yes, I understand if you don't want anything to do with me anymore. After all, my parents just gave you away...
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLflhsg1dme
Yuuki: Asuna... NO, NEVER! I always thought you were my best friend, but... This is even better.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMPnKMJuqM
Yuuki hugged Asuna tightly, and they embraced for a long time. They now had a bond that would last forever.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5nz3DsLTA
At Eugeo and Alice
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUjNYmu5bc
Eugeo: Please, Alice, stay still.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLoF6jN5oA
Alice stopped.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP8ShUtSMQ
Alice: Eugeo, please go away. I don't want to see anyone.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG9nTiLCpc
Eugeo: No, I won't leave you alone like this.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kNXpSRv1W
Eugeo: I'm sorry I never noticed. I didn't mean to hurt you.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtASrhreTZu
Alice: I know, and you've made your choice. That's just how it is.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqd9MPsqJJ
Eugeo placed his hand on her shoulder.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEeg4ZMM7Z
Eugeo: May I?
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC73DzGElsi
Alice nodded.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHkM27qX8A
He pulled her into a hug.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIVZBG115e
Alice: Thank you, Eugeo. I really do.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GWVaNvQLL
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Q9MDAtxO
Epilogue:
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CwyqTeOEm
The next day, everyone met at Agile's bar to celebrate.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBU3YAqN4p
Kirito: So, let's drink to our new siblings, our new couple, and well... our new family relationships.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfYuHyfgQu
Kirito: Kanpai
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjQkum0aka
Everyone: Kanpai
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18nNkUGBn8
They stayed for several hours, laughing and talking
