Yui-chan? Mommy! Mommy! I'm right here.
I'm up here I'm right here, Yui-chan! Kirito-kun! Anything Is there anything I could drop down there? What is this? I tried to use Warning Mode to contact her, but What's that? A card? Leafa, do you know what this is? No, I've never seen an item like that.
No window, huh? This This is a System Admin access code.
Then can we use it to access the GM controls? No You need the appropriate console to access it from within the game.
Even I can't bring up the system menu.
I see.
something like this wouldn't just fall from the sky for no reason.
This is probably Yes! Mommy heard us and dropped it.
Asuna Leafa, tell me something.
Where is the gate that leads inside the World Tree? Well, it's in the dome at the tree's base B-But you can't get in! It's protected by guardians, and even the biggest raids couldn't break through! I have to go anyway Thank you so much for everything.
I'll go the rest of the way alone.
Kirito-kun Then let's go.
Yeah.
Wh-What? Is this an event? Yui, do you know the way to this dome? Yes, just go up those stairs and B-But are you sure, Daddy? The information we've learned so far indicates that breaking in through the gate will be extremely difficult.
Our only choice is to try.
Even if we fail, it won't cost our lives.
That's true, but And if I have to waste another second just standing around, I'm going to go insane.
And you want to see Mommy soon, right? You who know not the heights of heaven Do you desire passage to the castle of the king? Will you attempt the Grand Quest "Guardians of the World Tree"? I'm coming, Asuna.
I'm almost there.
Then show that you are worthy of letting your wings take flight.
Let's go, Yui.
Keep your head down.
Good luck, Daddy.
Go! Out of the way! I can do this! Down, damn it! Asuna! Asuna Asuna Asuna Asuna Asuna! Asu— Just Just a little more Just a little more I I Resurrection Timer died? Somewhere in my heart, I believed this world was just a game.
Is this my punishment for that? My strength is nothing but skills and status effects.
Resurrection Timer But I thought I could overcome the rules and limits of the game, and do anything.
A game where you can die is too easy.
Asuna No Stay back! Kirito-kun! Kirito-kun Spirit's Tear Glacial Chunk World Tree Dewdrop Stardust Sand Ancient Fruit Kirito-kun Thank you, Leafa.
I d-didn't But don't do things like that.
I'm fine.
I don't want to cause you any more trouble.
Trouble?! I Kirito-kun? W-Wait! You can't do it alone! You may be right I am right, so But I have to go.
Stop Just stop this.
Go back to being your normal self.
I I To me, you're Leafa I'm sorry.
If I don't make it up there, nothing will end.
And nothing will begin.
I have to see her again I have to see Asuna again.
What What did you just say? Right, Asuna.
Yuuki Asuna That's the name of the person I'm looking for.
But then Then That's Is that you, Brother? Sugu? Suguha? This is awful.
This isn't fair It isn't S-Sugu? Are you sure you want to log out? Sugu! Sugu, are you there? Don't! Don't open the door.
Leave me alone What's wrong, Sugu? I mean, I was surprised, too.
If you're mad that I'm using the NerveGear again, I apologize.
But I didn't have a choice.
No That isn't it.
That isn't Sugu? I I I I betrayed my own heart! I betrayed my love for you I was about to forget it, to give it up.
To fall in love with Kirito-kun No, I already had! But But L-Love? But we're I know.
I already know! You and I aren't really siblings! I've known for the last two years.
Wasn't the reason you quit kendo and started avoiding me because you knew the whole time? Weren't you avoiding me because I'm not your real sister?! So So why are you being nice to me now?! I was so happy you came back from SAO.
I was so happy you were being nice to me, like when we were little.
I thought you were finally giving me a chance.
But If I'd known this would happen, I wish you'd kept being a jerk.
If you had, I wouldn't have realized I like you Or been sad to learn about Asuna-san Or tried to fall in love with Kirito-kun instead! I'm sorry.
Leave me alone Sugu Next Time: Bonds
