It's September 15, 2026. Kirito and Asuna have recovered quite well after all the Underworld stuff.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT0GZ2ekns
Kirito was in his room when there was a knock.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaUE4pSS3a
Suguha: Onii-chan, come on, Asuna's probably already waiting.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X9ES0YZNw
Kirito got up and turned off his computer.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJQaTXtYyH
Kirito: Yeah, I'm coming, Sugu.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33hrV6qlqu
He grabbed his jacket and went outside with Suguha, where Asuna was already waiting.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJsbz3a9FY
Asuna: Kirito, there you are! You know I hate it when you're late.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOChVY8PA7
She pulled him into a hug.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGHF6eirXZ
And so the three souls went for a peaceful walk.
Meanwhile, all hell broke loose at Rath's place.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIwiehjlzf
Kikuoka: Higa, restart the server quickly, or the whole Underworld will blow up!!!!!!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZkc5bRZM
As he said this, there was an explosion. Smoke was everywhere, and when they looked up, there were five people standing there:
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxLr2RY9Yt
Four girls and one boy.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDmFwsSJRG
Maple: Where have we landed? Is this some kind of special quest?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFZaoeZqHR
Sally: If we keep ending up in places like this, it must be because of you. These things always happen with you.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhZzdeij24
Kasumi: Watch out, there are two people here.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTIOq0oali
Iz: This doesn't look like a quest, guys.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqljF58YtZm
Kuromu: Don't worry, I'll take care of the enemies.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknGGk9ZsTo
He charged at Kikuoka, but when he reached for a weapon, he realized there wasn't one.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaIP4NkcpA
Kuromu: What's going on???
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7gLpXpRSQ
Kikuoka: Higa... I think we've done something we shouldn't have.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJeCwJKwp4
Kirito Suguha and Asuna finally arrived at the park.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqV0Sm0NNN
Where Liz, Sinon, Rain, and Phillia were already waiting.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpBJY34L4H
Liz: There you are at last! I thought you weren't coming at all.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFbmafi0f
Asuna: Oh no, just someone here was on the computer again for too long.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzUfpxeqGc
Her gaze fell on Kirito.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ZJj9LegI
Kirito: That's not true at all... Okay, yes it is.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66joBz4vMH
Everyone laughed.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFMcOpcB7H
Phillia: Typical Kirito, that's just how he is.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ltdIo22D
Rain: You Asuna, Didn't Yuu......
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1sMsgER6L
Voice: ASUUUNA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Htfy9THPe
At that moment, Yuuki rushed up and hugged Asuna.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsy3zRAOHA
Asuna: Wow, Yuuki, are you okay? 😂
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU21vuTroX
Yuuki: Of course, I'm just glad to see you. :)
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYnRZfiRCQ
Sinon: Oh man, Yuuki, you just saw her a few hours ago at school.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnckBJZjB7
?: Hello, there you are! Yessss!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s1xoYzK16
At that moment... Klein is also too late.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaZlLo30XN
Klein: Sorry, my dog ate my pillow.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVJYqQY0Ih
Sinon: You don't have a dog.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOSumRPF7I
Klein was about to reply when Kirito's phone rang.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5PyW2iU9m
Kikuoka: Kirito, come to Rath quickly, something's happened.
Approximately 30 minutes later
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld9CPruJgm
Kirito: You're seriously telling me that your server overload somehow opened a gateway to another dimension and that the five of them are now here?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWd16b1EXA
Kikuoka: Yes, that's exactly what happened.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIg8QJH6x6
There was silence until Maple broke it.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtVcHwoHt9
Maple: Are we stuck here forever?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2jjCxp6ua
Higa: No, we'll definitely find a way to bring you back soon.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s1F5LvD2F
Kirito looked at Maple.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBNkfgzaxr
Kirito: My name is Kirito, nice to meet you.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK97UHYiGp
Maple: My name is Maple, nice to meet you too.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllwXnAbMMs
So everyone got to know each other and talked until a loud shout rang out.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrStTyjjOs
Klein: AH, WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE ME????
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpJFFz9f21
Kuromi: Better question, why do you look like me???
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q2PZmn1GE
Suguha looked at the two of them.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbnb40SfEq
Suguha: Mmm, I do see a certain resemblance.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VxirO7gZm
It wasn't even five minutes before Klein and Kuromu were talking like two best friends, as if they'd known each other for years.
Kikuoka: What do we do now? We have to find somewhere to put the five of them up.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjvEZ0Mzc8
Iz & Kasumi: We'll both go to a hotel.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r2TWIcUJt
Klein: Well, I'm all for Kuromu coming with me.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWvS51d2ht
Everyone seems to agree.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYpQTQZFLQ
Kikuoka: Okay, then we just have to figure out what to do with the two of you.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuHVjPihDx
(Looks at Maple and Sally)
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQnEuJLk45
Suguha: So, Maple, you can come with us. I have a spare bed in my room. That's no problem, is it, Kirito?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tBG3zpUKe
Kirito: No, basically. I just don't know what Mom and Dad will say, but it'll work out.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cr6GPRAGa
Sally: Then I'm the only one left.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZELAA9KCU
Asuna: I'd really love to, but my parents wouldn't allow it. They're very strict.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJfIBog48J
Rain, Liz, and Philia were in the same boat.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRK6fsvtU4
So everyone looked at Sinon.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPSxj1J6Js
Sinon: Why are you all looking at me like that?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcyNkM28wT
Philia: Well, you live alone, so it wouldn't really be a problem.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EQqmNFhWd
Sinon thought for a moment.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsqgsFVrZb
Okay, fine, I'll take Sally with me.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDukCs3spy
So everyone said their goodbyes and headed home.
Finally, Suguha, Kirito, and Maple arrived at the couple's house, where they were greeted by their mother in the hallway.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1RLCvvTvZ
Suguha's mom: Hi you two, there you are again! But who is that girl?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgQTz81uMq
Her gaze fell on Maple.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYcd7LIpmq
Suguha and Kirito knew they couldn't possibly tell the truth. After all, no one would probably believe them.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7BRJ5FyKG
Suguha: Um, this is Maple, a good friend of mine. Would it be okay if she stayed here temporarily?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcJxGVrbbJ
Suguha's mom: Suguha, you know I don't really like this during the school year, but... It's okay, but it's bedtime at 10 p.m. Tomorrow is...
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThg0WpRaFJ
Kirito and Suguha seemed relieved, and Kirito went to his room.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsra02huAqn
And Suguha and Maple went to theirs.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iK8RfV3bY
Meanwhile, at Sinon's:
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqeopMpnrz
Sally: You have a nice apartment.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35z0Oc1wK
Sinon: Thanks. Feel free to sit down. Are you hungry?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NjvqcU2rc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaVWnMDS3T
Sinon Sally: No, but thank you.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODX8e1v9Zw
The two talked until Sinon suggested she log into Alo so she could show Sally.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGearCW3YSI
Sally: Wow, this is nice too... And wait a minute... I'm wearing my clothes from New World Online?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yik5tq5Sr
Voice: Oh, you're here too!!!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssuaux7lQi
It was Leafa and Maple.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiCdWUCpMx
Maple: Sally, there you are! Did you notice our clothes too?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKnkIgApTJ
Sally: Yes, and I have the skills and everything else too. Weird.
Then Syrup and Oboro appeared and jumped into Sally and Maple's arms.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSfOxYDFWr
Before anyone could say anything, a scream rang out.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEAZVsW5m0
PINAAAA, stop! Where are you going?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC1axxO00k
Silica came around the corner with Pina: Oh, hey Sinon, hey Leafa, who are these two?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pi2DUaDVF
Sinon: Oh, hi, just two friends.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSanSvZXNJj
Maple: Hello, I'm Maple, and this is Sally.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu03K8PqFv5
At that moment, Pina went over to Syrup and Oboro, and the three of them started playing.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfiM3ZOAEj
Sally: That's so cute! :)
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXatxGdvk3
Voice: Suguha didn't tell Mom you to be in bed by 10 PM. It's already 11 PM!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosbx4HCJYP
Leafa: Oh, Onii-chan, I'm sorry. Please don't tell her anything. We'll log off right away.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvai2r2p2xz
Kirito came downstairs.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIj1TMLNN7
Kirito: How cute are they? What are their names?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdLRuQKIX
Maple: This is Syrup, and this is Oboro.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh4b21eI9R
Kirito looked at them...
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwu9rAs0xY
Kirito: What's the fox's name?!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDQqCNLou0
Sally replied: Oboro, any problems?
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQEM7a5Bab
Kirito: Ah, Oboro, sorry, I was thinking about something from the past, sorry.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo51D0djCo
(He was obviously thinking of Oberon.)
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZLDAXARE3
After that, everyone logged out and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, at Rath's
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJJ8paKExr
Kikuoka: Good, Higa, everything seems to be fine in the Underworld. Nothing's broken.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrR2kFX15Z
Higa: Okay, then we should go to sleep. It's late.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Iz8YQt2J
They left the room.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zbXdQ1Hnq
When the screen came back on:
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5r2r7uEcT
Voice: Oh yeah, I can smell it and almost taste it—so many sweet little souls! Hahaha.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHRqVq9qXj
