Original subtitles

So at 3:00, Zekken should be on that small island on the 24th floor, right?

Yeah.

Then let's meet here tomorrow at 2:30, okay?

Sure! Got it.

Roger that!

I can't wait!

Me too!

Maybe the legend of the berserker healer will rise again!

Papa, you have something on your face.

Oh, really?

Actually, it's covered in soot!

What?!

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Laters!

I've been walking in the light all this time

Zutto hikari no naka kinou made wa nakatta

I've been following footprints that didn't exist until yesterday

Ashiato wo tadotte kita hodo

Although I've been in a maze with no goal, with a map drenched in rain

Gooru no mie nai meiro ame ni utareta chizu

I have no regrets at all

Koukai mo nani mo nai kedo

If I cry out

Sakenda koe wa

I'm sure my voice will reach you

Kitto todoku kara

I'm sure my voice will reach you

Kitto todoku kara

The sound of the bell in the beginning of the story

Kono monogatari no hajimaru kane no ne ga

Will connect us during our journey

Tsunagu tabi no tochuu de

The future world that you envisioned

Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa

Will lead you to a sky of that day

Itsuka no sora ni michibikare te

And will make our dream come true and even go beyond miracles

Futatsu no omoi wo hitotsu zutsu katachi ni shite kiseki wo motto koete

The future world that you envisioned

Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa

The future world that you envisioned

Kimi ga egaita mirai no sekai wa

Exists somewhere even now

Ima mo dokoka de iki tsuzukete

Let's add layers of our dream and reach the true pure light

Donna yume kasanete itsuwaru koto no nai ano hikari wo

Ah oh beautiful my way!

Goodnight, Sada-san.

Thanks for coming every day.

Sorry for keeping you here so late.

Not at all, miss.

It's my job, after all.

Are my mother and brother back yet?

Kouichirou-sama will be out late.

As for your mother, she's in the dining room.

Oh, okay. Thanks again.

Goodbye.

You're late.

Make sure to be at the table five minutes early.

I'm sorry.

Thanks for the food.

Were you using that machine again?

Yes.

I'd promised to work on homework with everyone.

If you don't put real pen to paper, you won't learn anything.

But everyone else lives far away.

This way, I can meet to work with them.

It's not really meeting anyone if you're just using that machine.

Regardless, you should work on your homework alone.

If you do it with others, you'll end up playing around.

Listen...

You don't have any time to waste.

You're two years behind others your age.

You need to work that much harder to catch up on your studies.

I am working hard!

Look at my second-quarter report card, the one I printed and put on your desk.

I saw it.

Good grades from a school like that mean nothing.

"A school like that"?

Listen, Asuna,

next quarter, I'm hiring you a tutor for supplemental lessons.

It won't be over the Internet, as is popular these days.

The tutor will come here.

W-Wait, this is all so sudden...

Take a look at this.

What is this all about?

An entry exam guide?

I convinced a friend of mine to let you take the entrance exam for the high school he oversees.

Then you can finish at a real school, unlike that ramshackle mess you're in now.

It uses a credit system, so you'll be able to graduate in half a year.

Then you can start college in September.

W-Wait!

This is all too sudden for me.

I like where I'm attending now!

It has lots of good teachers.

I'm learning a lot there!

I don't need to go to anywhere else.

I know all about that school of yours.

In fact, even calling it a "school" is a stretch.

The curriculum is a mess, and the classes are too easy.

Those teachers you referred to are a bunch of nobodies with no real credentials.

Th-That's a bit...

The government claims the school's purpose is to offer remedial education to the kids

who were involved in that incident,

but their real aim is to gather all those who spent two years killing each other in one place, to monitor them all.

It's practically a prison.

I'm one of the ones "who spent two years killing each other" too.

All your friends from junior high are taking college entrance exams this year.

Does that bother you even a little?

I don't mind if it takes me a bit longer to start college.

It's not as if I absolutely have to go to college anyway.

Yes you do!

You can't waste your talent.

You know full well how much your father and I have done to nurture it, right?

It's up to me to decide how I'll live my life, isn't it?

I haven't figured it all out yet,

but I think I'm about to find my true calling!

I want to keep going to my school so I can find out what it is!

You won't gain anything, no matter how many years you spend there.

Listen, Asuna.

I want you to have a good life.

You should have a career you can be proud of.

My career?

Then why did you make me meet that man in Kyoto during New Year's?

He spoke as if I was already engaged to him.

You're the one keeping me from a career I can be proud of!

Marriage is part of your career.

If you marry someone poor, you'll regret it.

Without money, you can't pursue those dreams you speak of.

But if you marry Yuuya-kun, that won't be a problem.

A family-owned district bank like his family's

is much more stable than a balkanized mega-bank.

You haven't learned at all, have you?

The one who's responsible for that whole incident and almost bankrupted RCT,

who caused so much misery for others, is Sugou Nobuyuki, the man you chose.

Enough already!

I don't want to hear another word about him.

Your father was the one who liked him and wanted you to marry him.

He's never been a good judge of character.

It'll be fine.

Yuuya-kun is a little introverted,

but that means you don't have to worry.

Anyway, I'm not going to marry him!

I'll choose who I'll marry myself!

That's fine.

You can choose anyone worthy of you.

To be clear, a child like that,

from that school, is not!

You... So you investigated him?

Please understand.

Your father and I only want your happiness.

You're capable of pursuing any number of worthy careers.

Let me think a while about transferring.

Bear in mind the deadline is next week.

Print out three copies of the paperwork

and leave it completed on my desk by then.

Mom...

What is it?

You feel ashamed of Grandfather and Grandmother who've passed away, don't you?

Angry that you weren't born into a rich and important family?

Asuna, come back right this moment!

Asuna!

Kirito-kun...

Hey, what're you thinking of doing in the future?

I might try to get into the VR development industry.

VR development?

What types of games?

Not for games, but to make a man-machine interface that can replace modern FullDive technology.

I'm trying to learn by browsing tech forums,

but they're mostly in English, so it's slow going.

I want to stay with Kirito-kun and realize our dreams together.

But...

You're strong, Asuna.

Stronger than I am.

But I'm not!

It was only in that world that I had the strength to fight.

Asuna the Flash of the Knights of the Blood is gone.

In the real world, I'm powerless.

Hi.

It's rare for you to be here first, Kirito-kun.

It's not that unusual.

Hey, do you remember the first time you came to my place in Selmburg?

I'm not exactly proud of it, but my memory is terrible.

I do remember that, though.

Really?

Of course.

After I found that S-class rare ingredient item,

you made me a stew.

That meat was delicious...

I still remember it.

Is food all you think about?

It's almost time. We'd better go.

Asuna, if you're going to fight...

Y-You know...

I mean,

Zekken's pretty strong.

Liz and the others already told me all about it.

But I'm still shocked that you lost.

By the way, Leafa-chan mentioned that you exchanged a few words during the fight.

What did you discuss?

Well, something was bothering me.

What was that?

That's when I asked,

"You're living entirely in this world, aren't you?"

Zekken responded with a wordless smile and an incredibly fast charge skill.

Faster than I thought possible.

"Living entirely in this world"?

You mean a heavy user, someone always on ALO?

No.

Not in the sense that they're an ALO addict.

It's more that Zekken seems a product of the FullDive environment itself.

What does that mean?

I don't want to give you more preconceptions.

Try and feel it out for yourself.

Look at what happens the minute you take your eyes off them.

Sorry to bother you lovebirds here, but it's time to go!

Yeah!

I-I know!

You got me! I surrender!

Resign!

Wow! That's a sixty-seven win streak!

Can no one stop her?

Victory!

Um, Liz.

Yeah?

Zekken's a girl!

Huh? I never mentioned that?

No!

Wait...

Kirito-kun, is the reason you lost...

O-Of course not... I definitely didn't go easy on her because she's a girl.

I mean it.

Really.

Mostly, I guess.

Oh, really?

Who wants to challenge me next?

Hey, that's your cue.

I'm not mentally prepared yet.

Once the duel starts, you'll be fine.

Stop moping and get going.

Do you wanna fight?

U-Um...

Sure. Let's do this.

Okay!

Could we go with the standard rules?

Sure thing.

Use all the magic and items you want.

This is all I need, though.

Oh, right.

Would you prefer a ground-based or aerial fight?

Either's fine with you?

Then on the ground.

Okay.

So jumping is fine, but no using your wings.

She's good.

But I'd be a failure as a warrior if I gave up after one hit.

It was only in that world that I had the strength to fight.

I can do this!

She parried Quadruple Pain?

I...

won't let it end like this!

So this is Zekken's eleven-hit combo?

Her original Sword Skill?

I wouldn't mind losing to something of this caliber at all!

That was tons of fun.

Onee-san, I pick you!

U-Um, are we not finishing the duel?

Nah, I think I'm good.

Did you want to keep going?

I've been searching for just the right person,

someone like you!

M-Mama?

Wait! Asuna!

Asuna-san!

Um...

Please! Help us!

Help you?

The street lights cast a glow on cheerful laughter

Machi akari terashita nigiyaka na warai goe to

And footprints in the back-alley

Rojiura no ashiato

I wonder how much you understood of the feelings

Tsutae tai omoi wa

I've always wanted to convey to you

Dore dake todoi tan darou

I always turn around to you and make sure

Itsumo furi muite tashikameru

Because no matter how I am,

Itsu datte mayowazu

I believe you'd always chase after me without any hesitation

Kimi wa kitto donna boku mo oikakete kureru kara

When I gazed at your eyes, I saw the proof that I've lived

Jitto mitsumeta kimi no hitomi ni utsutta boku ga ikita shirushi

Whenever my heartbeat was about to stop,

Nando mo togire souna kodou

You made it ring out very, very loudly

Tsuyoku tsuyoku narashita

I want to go far beyond today

Kyou wo koete mitainda
