It was the morning after when Kirito knocked firmly on Suguha's door.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZTsd7vzai
Kirito: Suguha, get up! You're going to school!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalHn82z0eC
Suguha moved a little, but instead Maple opened the door and said sleepily.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClAVAFyNVN
Maple: Good morning! She's sleeping like a log.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP81scF8L6
A few minutes passed, and Suguha finally got up and went to school.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80DrKfPbLQ
Kirito: And what are you going to do now?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw6fpOFatA
Kirito asked Maple.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztkCrSkwnp
Maple: I'll probably meet up with Risa.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGqxaBWmkI
Kirito looked at her, confused.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPfVbOSHeC
Kirito: With whom?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUS6HEDpni
Maple: Oh, sorry, I meant Sally, of course. We've been calling each other by our in-game names this whole time.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62mII0rRGg
Maple: My real name is Kaede, by the way.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKilKIfoc3
Kirito: Oh, I see. :)
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGVRejHBxI
They talked for a little while longer until Kaede left.
Kaede was walking down the street when she heard it.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e5JBC5EhP
Kaede!!!!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnuzX0Ghia
A loud shout—it was Risa.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgQIm8QOb
Risa: There you are! How are you? Did everything go well?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAqHgpz3co
Kaede: Yep, except for Suguha starting to eat sweets at 3 a.m., everything was okay.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkEZqNJrG6
Risa: Oh man. Well, at least I know how to operate a sniper rifle now. Sinon is talking about it to him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXNzy5wEYB
The two laughed and talked and went for a walk.
* At Kirito's
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91vkbEIh2y
He arrived at school, still half asleep, when Asuna stood before him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXCY9tQebo
Asuna: Good morning, I brought you some coffee.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznfs2sbxWu
Kirito looked at her and smiled.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pOeIATPHL
Kirito: Thank you, you're a sweetheart, that's exactly what I need right now.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgouZ3wTLfa
Liz: Oh man, you two, it's only 9 a.m.!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ0Ek9clmZ
Asuna: Oh Liz, please let me!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65FrmIw1fP
The three entered the school building.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk2LZmCr07
Meanwhile, Rath Higa and Kikuoka were just getting up, unaware of what they were about to see...
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsnhzt8ZKz
Higa: Good morning, I'll take a look at the screen...
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ORZPjefB
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?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8TZo9K8LK
Higa: This can't be happening...
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKlWM9K6U2
They were both completely shocked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtG0KjMWpc
Kikuoka: What are we going to do?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbam3LljyJ
Higa: Maybe we should...
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0DuOfnL99
Kikuoka interrupted him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1kU0K8ge3
Kikuoka: No, absolutely no one can find out, that would be a disgrace.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X0sQ4NCIG
Higa started the system and saw that data was being transmitted from here to the outside.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8OPg1FhMp
Kikuoka looked at the screen.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo6yXm2kdo
Kikuoka: Disconnect, Higa.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEfCjC1EDq
It was chaos, and after some time, the biggest problem seemed to be resolved.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhAQmnPyrj
Kikuoka: Oh man, how could this have happened?
Meanwhile, Kirito, Asuna, and Liz had just finished school.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMY8JExFPh
Kirito: OMG, I hate math!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPUde3MNOQ
Liz: Kirito, if it were up to you, you'd live in VR!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HDCvBcCrT
Everyone laughs when suddenly Kirito's phone rings. He answers it.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xNcFCbtVY
Seven: Kirito?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR99F8XvZ5
Kirito: Hey Seven, how's it going?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapyoXl0031
Seven: Good, and you?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVtrTbKr9G
Kirito: Me too.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0GWfxdTtZ
But tell me, something's wrong, you don't usually call.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywl8y84KJ7
Seven: You know me too well, apparently.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmZguTMWH6
I received an email with no sender, and I think you might be interested.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDDBYIpOZw
She sends him the picture, and he opens it. The Underworld is completely destroyed.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhJbDzZpjo
Kirito: That's... OK, thanks for sending it. I'll get back to you soon.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWoZOsMQmb
Seven is about to say something when he hangs up.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYuldMATc6
Kirito: Liz Asuna, please follow me...
The three of them were walking through the park when
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbunwqm7gXN
Kaede: Kirito, Asuna, Liz!!!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfPwCLRjh
It was Kaede and Risa.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7krF6GsAqX
Kirito continued walking without saying anything.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoeHGwJ2EV
Asuna: Hey, you two, come with me. I don't know where he's going so badly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47TG2MI5Wj
Kaede and Risa followed the three of them.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAYKt6dj1W
They arrived at the main town hall.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkF3hr8dlp
Kirito tried to open the locked door.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2pgl5KAqL
Asuna had rarely seen Kirito so upset.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FRAzfwh2I
Kirito tried calling several people, but no one answered. You could see how nervous he was.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuCB06bRsY
Asuna: Kirito, please drink something. What's going on?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes9rn65Ksu
He took Asuna's water bottle and took a sip.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rr4957r8O
He then held out his phone.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqDdOAdaJD
Liz and Asuna stared at him in shock. Kaede and Risa didn't understand at all.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUldBsWIK6C
Asuna: Is this her... Underworld?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CMwLzLeH4
Kirito: Yes.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6EvNXA8Ps
Risa: Would you be so kind as to explain?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHokbH3rWm
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7YlTaOJnp
Kirito: Yes, of course, come.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHZwwP945w
They walk through the park and tell him everything that happened a few months ago.
Kaede: Oh man, a lot has really happened!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6MlJw7enQ
Risa: And that explains your reaction. If that's true, we have to help the inhabitants of this underworld.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyYTqq2KWr
Kirito: We should see what happens tomorrow and go home first.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSOqYxGrGe
Everyone says goodbye and goes home.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIWnszieEz
It's now 11 PM. Kirito is almost asleep when his phone suddenly rings.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROwwLvWEMl
It says Kikuoka on the screen.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs14oBnaSiX
Kikuoka answers.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5L1mHUHg5
Kirito: Come to the harbor immediately!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa96m5Zkk3i
Kirito: First, I want to know what's up with this picture of the underworld.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IaJpI0dOZ
Kikuoka: How do you know about it?!
... Kirito: Seven received an unknown email with the photo.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdsE6Tijjj
Kikuoka: Damn, so guesses have been sent out.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhol9ZVWliY
Kikuoka: I'll explain everything, but first come to the harbor... ALONE.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMu7jSyf3f
Kirito doesn't hesitate, puts on his jacket, and leaves the house.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR7KixNAd1
At that moment,
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1poUyZg3FJ
Kaede: Suguha, did you hear that?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dFuZzkxs8
Suguha: Yes, I did. That doesn't sound good. He's probably putting himself in danger again.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzslJaygQ1
Kaede: What should we do?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdVwN4I8ko
Suguha: I'll call Asuna. You call Sally... I mean Risa and Sinon.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtucjKJbJ05
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o2gEPPgVU
Asuna: So what's so urgent? I almost broke my foot jumping out the window.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqGHqKGfoh
Suguha: Kirito got a call telling him to come to the harbor. I have a bad feeling he's putting himself in danger.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJappg0kU5D
Sinon: Well then, off to the harbor!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjista0vgMi
They go to the harbor and see Kirito getting on a boat.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8HScnqC6o
The boat starts moving at that moment.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgauX32mBdj
Risa: Come quickly!!!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXKLeFgxNZ
The five of them take a running start and jump onto the boat.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92kOuCb3xT
They see a wooden box and all go inside.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzwMtXe4SN
Sinon: Ouch, that was my foot!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVKUas0geV
Kaede: Sorry!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeNahAkEZP
They travel for a while.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxaBICMm8p
Kirito looks ahead until he sees it:
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV6zbt4anz
The Ocean Turtle.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcle7PjG3ne
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDlBp0v0cJ
Asuna: Are they gone?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybm9M52X7d
Suguha: I'll go and see.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcWO01pTjk
Suguha: I'm leaving the box. No one's there.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxIMXBeBbK
Suguha: The coast is clear.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxLCYFaXn9
Risa: Wow, this is huge!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bE61ckil7
The five of them looked for the entrance to get in.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg0IdUcOd8
*Inside
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaTeFj3scq
Kikuoka: Kirito, there you are! It's great that you could get here so quickly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3R5OU9syL
Kirito: Yeah, great! How is this even possible? I thought the Ocean Turtle had been closed?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgUdCzliod
Kikuoka: Yes, that's right, but we got the go-ahead to reopen it two weeks ago.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5oDGHd6fT
Kirito: So, what about the Underworld?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6vq4hoKMi
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?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PzsbPZ4M7
Kirito: I'm supposed to go in there alone if it looks like this?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC1Fv1n5Od
Kikuoka: No, of course not.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8S52txsj
At that moment, the door opens and Alice and Eugeo enter.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J8YmSsjWA
Eugeo & Alice: Hey Kirito!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK8e4OTd0Y
Kirito: Oh, I'm really glad to see you. So, are you both ready?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzr9CG4KW6
Everyone says yes.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrE1hmFp68
Kikuoka: Great, then we can start. If no one else...
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPxkMwOMJr
He is interrupted.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwichY2Us8
Voice: Oh, yes, we have quite a few questions.
It's Asuna, Suguha, Sinon, Risa, and Kaede.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3lCF24XYY
Kikuoka: What?!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6UQ5FKnt9
Higa: We urgently need to hire new staff; this is the second time this has happened.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobN8CsnjoJ
Kirito: Asuna... Suguha
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SFDR2zUX1
He knew exactly what he was going to get in trouble for. They both stood in front of him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCVvoZLX4Z
Asuna: Do you even know how worried I was?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTBsT4HZAU
Suguha: Mom definitely won't like this.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8iDLoPNQ
Kirito: She won't like it any more than she likes you being here.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jytXaHKDA
Suguha: That's true.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRgUpURHqD
Asuna looked down and hugged him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEDg0SU2GQ
Asuna: Don't do that again, understand?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF1JMSPi5N
Eugeo: So, can we go then?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ1ID16dS0
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeY9HEdR50
Everyone gets ready and Kikouka logs them all into the Underworld.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf6xyWpw3j
Alice: Whoa, Eugeo... Our home is completely destroyed...
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Us0LXXlY
Sally: Maple, whoa, we even have our items here and stuff.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkba0I9kDAy
Sally: You're right.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qLgLhU5Gd
They walk through the city where an injured person is lying on the ground.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EXtNZoGLK
Asuna bends down.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocZHR6Dsgo
Asuna: Hey, do you need help?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfYdkL6hV6
Person: Up there... Vec...
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaOfMvfV30
They turn around and there's someone in the air.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2DciM3J3x
Kirito: Guys, get ready for battle!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU61VVuB1z
Kirito: Show yourself!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3mxA4DiC2
Voice 1: Why so angry? We were just having fun!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcak18Ddj4M
Eugeo: Who's "we"?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpdSAkQTY8
Voice 2: Long time no see, Blacky!
