It was the morning after when Kirito knocked firmly on Suguha's door.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdsLT0idDa
Kirito: Suguha, get up! You're going to school!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOsKp1ApYP
Suguha moved a little, but instead Maple opened the door and said sleepily.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAi82iBnWb
Maple: Good morning! She's sleeping like a log.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXgEizs2I4
A few minutes passed, and Suguha finally got up and went to school.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOVjcYs60n
Kirito: And what are you going to do now?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSacb4OjMLD
Kirito asked Maple.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzRDvc8F47
Maple: I'll probably meet up with Risa.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgei9AHTrJ
Kirito looked at her, confused.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauR6IDRFoR
Kirito: With whom?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhhjdcWgH5
Maple: Oh, sorry, I meant Sally, of course. We've been calling each other by our in-game names this whole time.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbWsVZQWyj
Maple: My real name is Kaede, by the way.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5gGOGYb12
Kirito: Oh, I see. :)
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FC2XQ1h85
They talked for a little while longer until Kaede left.
Kaede was walking down the street when she heard it.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpbROlSEkc
Kaede!!!!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeoMNjZoMj
A loud shout—it was Risa.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOo1MvmRVx
Risa: There you are! How are you? Did everything go well?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Mv6rkLLU
Kaede: Yep, except for Suguha starting to eat sweets at 3 a.m., everything was okay.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHvIrPa7kN
Risa: Oh man. Well, at least I know how to operate a sniper rifle now. Sinon is talking about it to him.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6VHIsRFvo
The two laughed and talked and went for a walk.
* At Kirito's
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1AKIWkXht
He arrived at school, still half asleep, when Asuna stood before him.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CaWlBjE35
Asuna: Good morning, I brought you some coffee.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzxws5uXCl
Kirito looked at her and smiled.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArY6BzrUMT
Kirito: Thank you, you're a sweetheart, that's exactly what I need right now.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYF9M47u4H
Liz: Oh man, you two, it's only 9 a.m.!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIrXgSBDHH
Asuna: Oh Liz, please let me!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNId92ztSa
The three entered the school building.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpyRcE2Orr
Meanwhile, Rath Higa and Kikuoka were just getting up, unaware of what they were about to see...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMnurDo3EV
Higa: Good morning, I'll take a look at the screen...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIjpVELSwO
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?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0dB7gPGFN
Higa: This can't be happening...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6B99WlGG
They were both completely shocked.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSio5bykV1D
Kikuoka: What are we going to do?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3I7m1KzE0
Higa: Maybe we should...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ6MA9W0Xb
Kikuoka interrupted him.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfERjHWCZEB
Kikuoka: No, absolutely no one can find out, that would be a disgrace.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePRx20FUBB
Higa started the system and saw that data was being transmitted from here to the outside.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNmOvx9NMr
Kikuoka looked at the screen.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQni7wdB026
Kikuoka: Disconnect, Higa.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk5fUvEQMq
It was chaos, and after some time, the biggest problem seemed to be resolved.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLH4zwKhgG
Kikuoka: Oh man, how could this have happened?
Meanwhile, Kirito, Asuna, and Liz had just finished school.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2pfDwLwcQ
Kirito: OMG, I hate math!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSyrdHpcIS
Liz: Kirito, if it were up to you, you'd live in VR!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLmJtyp2Wl
Everyone laughs when suddenly Kirito's phone rings. He answers it.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy3k7l2cGu
Seven: Kirito?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn4UAX2heU
Kirito: Hey Seven, how's it going?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTagRaRYzg
Seven: Good, and you?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhOov8Cfne
Kirito: Me too.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2MmAgQCrj
But tell me, something's wrong, you don't usually call.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUxagx2Nxy
Seven: You know me too well, apparently.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtbgpMup62
I received an email with no sender, and I think you might be interested.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RvQb5dPZe
She sends him the picture, and he opens it. The Underworld is completely destroyed.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7kE3qG60u
Kirito: That's... OK, thanks for sending it. I'll get back to you soon.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZiqouwDQb
Seven is about to say something when he hangs up.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1dRQc8Ucj
Kirito: Liz Asuna, please follow me...
The three of them were walking through the park when
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ThGy5KUQ
Kaede: Kirito, Asuna, Liz!!!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo6c4ACgNz
It was Kaede and Risa.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpHRQnGRUZ
Kirito continued walking without saying anything.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC3eHOJrFz
Asuna: Hey, you two, come with me. I don't know where he's going so badly.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90WhLmDGM2
Kaede and Risa followed the three of them.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM4Duzu4Do
They arrived at the main town hall.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnsPQfkhUX
Kirito tried to open the locked door.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh4Rdrm3Ba
Asuna had rarely seen Kirito so upset.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLT6IhV8rf
Kirito tried calling several people, but no one answered. You could see how nervous he was.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQduNU3MrHB
Asuna: Kirito, please drink something. What's going on?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjnHucaENw
He took Asuna's water bottle and took a sip.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIj12Xb8HD
He then held out his phone.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnk5TPsYmb
Liz and Asuna stared at him in shock. Kaede and Risa didn't understand at all.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9KGRNrsVT
Asuna: Is this her... Underworld?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHafgiQ2B6
Kirito: Yes.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m7kUH6y3B
Risa: Would you be so kind as to explain?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSOVN6AZDV
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMhORZWNab
Kirito: Yes, of course, come.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv9xaGx9P6
They walk through the park and tell him everything that happened a few months ago.
Kaede: Oh man, a lot has really happened!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLZ4wCOm7N
Risa: And that explains your reaction. If that's true, we have to help the inhabitants of this underworld.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2IradutUh
Kirito: We should see what happens tomorrow and go home first.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iA45BIaDB
Everyone says goodbye and goes home.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXLDB7rpw6
It's now 11 PM. Kirito is almost asleep when his phone suddenly rings.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0POuUGspb3
It says Kikuoka on the screen.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eQw48yXzB
Kikuoka answers.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32W9yA0FlM
Kirito: Come to the harbor immediately!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhY12741FY
Kirito: First, I want to know what's up with this picture of the underworld.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuT4Zfkiuz
Kikuoka: How do you know about it?!
... Kirito: Seven received an unknown email with the photo.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UyGKLlwJH
Kikuoka: Damn, so guesses have been sent out.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU98rUpjX1j
Kikuoka: I'll explain everything, but first come to the harbor... ALONE.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gSAUxo4DU
Kirito doesn't hesitate, puts on his jacket, and leaves the house.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdzyfkKCMQ
At that moment,
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67ec0Mai6q
Kaede: Suguha, did you hear that?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsINeoFljn
Suguha: Yes, I did. That doesn't sound good. He's probably putting himself in danger again.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosuqUnpEHm
Kaede: What should we do?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wAIXdfuxt
Suguha: I'll call Asuna. You call Sally... I mean Risa and Sinon.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vqEwbP1mV
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCZTXtmGsF
Asuna: So what's so urgent? I almost broke my foot jumping out the window.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3lU2v72CX
Suguha: Kirito got a call telling him to come to the harbor. I have a bad feeling he's putting himself in danger.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQC6wyAdXa
Sinon: Well then, off to the harbor!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzNBPNOFUQ
They go to the harbor and see Kirito getting on a boat.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuvMudDKJj
The boat starts moving at that moment.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxnGniUihp
Risa: Come quickly!!!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZ72wVqHy
The five of them take a running start and jump onto the boat.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5X0OPg6Vr
They see a wooden box and all go inside.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GS88LRVl1
Sinon: Ouch, that was my foot!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDXMgRV94M
Kaede: Sorry!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyh3jtUWwl
They travel for a while.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysmLenJWVJ
Kirito looks ahead until he sees it:
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLcpUuN4cZ
The Ocean Turtle.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYwlJDDhRQ
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDch7wX3oM
Asuna: Are they gone?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkIhnteLi8
Suguha: I'll go and see.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk3BQds5rX
Suguha: I'm leaving the box. No one's there.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh19Zo8BvX
Suguha: The coast is clear.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYAasYikWN
Risa: Wow, this is huge!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecXUec9mOj
The five of them looked for the entrance to get in.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kXFupTu2L
*Inside
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWft7u4qhi
Kikuoka: Kirito, there you are! It's great that you could get here so quickly.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hV1jgjXn
Kirito: Yeah, great! How is this even possible? I thought the Ocean Turtle had been closed?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5zIGh2P7a
Kikuoka: Yes, that's right, but we got the go-ahead to reopen it two weeks ago.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcBuz2v5tq
Kirito: So, what about the Underworld?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gb74sGg3M
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?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMUWxHePjc
Kirito: I'm supposed to go in there alone if it looks like this?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgoXtBZIve
Kikuoka: No, of course not.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvRJpZ1x5U
At that moment, the door opens and Alice and Eugeo enter.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4p5NfUxzT
Eugeo & Alice: Hey Kirito!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMlxkW1kLU
Kirito: Oh, I'm really glad to see you. So, are you both ready?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjnvnEzCEO
Everyone says yes.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZhOMMHbjA
Kikuoka: Great, then we can start. If no one else...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg2LbvJLlK
He is interrupted.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQa7mYElft
Voice: Oh, yes, we have quite a few questions.
It's Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, Risa, and Kaede.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jtmwkuy5O
Kikuoka: What?!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7htGzNAxA
Higa: We urgently need to hire new staff; this is the second time this has happened.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnR9H5cF41
Kirito: Asuna... Suguha
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6vlnPJXK3
He knew exactly what he was going to get in trouble for. They both stood in front of him.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYfy9lKSdi
Asuna: Do you even know how worried I was?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhj4gd0Dcx
Suguha: Mom definitely won't like this.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRkannt05U
Kirito: She won't like it any more than she likes you being here.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tcISHNj5
Suguha: That's true.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2EbsHFtO
Asuna looked down and hugged him.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriyZFPFE2D
Asuna: Don't do that again, understand?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOjJjQ4FbJ
Eugeo: So, can we go then?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkHqjmHTzQ
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUrp1pdYHI
Everyone gets ready and Kikouka logs them all into the Underworld.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Sj4vH1iu
Alice: Whoa, Eugeo... Our home is completely destroyed...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyIzI2WARZ
Sally: Maple, whoa, we even have our items here and stuff.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBeogprrkP
Sally: You're right.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ECEnRskvg
They walk through the city where an injured person is lying on the ground.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfRSZA40wR
Asuna bends down.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzM1i7KRhp
Asuna: Hey, do you need help?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG63X4CJe8b
Person: Up there... Vec...
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiCfQUebCB
They turn around and there's someone in the air.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDid0ZF2eM
Kirito: Guys, get ready for battle!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje9ZEegm2u
Kirito: Show yourself!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIiOnTlGZQ
Voice 1: Why so angry? We were just having fun!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73s16BsoFq
Eugeo: Who's "we"?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52zCcgRlzl
Voice 2: Long time no see, Blacky!
