All language subtitles for Sword art online S03E02 - The Demon Tree

March 19, 378 (H.E.C.)

Where... am I?

I remember being at Agil's bar.

Then leaving with Asuna.

But I can't remember what happened next.

This outfit...

Am I inside a game?

Command.

Log out.

Way too realistic to be a 3D object.

So this isn't a game?

Am I dreaming, or—
Wait, a dream?

That's it.

This is the virtual world created by the STL, the Underworld!

But wait, that can't be right.

While I'm diving in the STL, my memories of the real world are normally blocked.

But I remember meeting up with Asuna and Sinon.

Kikuoka-san! Higa-san!

Stop the dive!

There seems to be a problem!

Is this really a virtual world?

What was that?

I don't know why, but I feel terribly nostalgic...

and terribly sad.

Who are you?

Where did you come from?

A test player, like me?

Or maybe an NPC?

What's wrong?

Um... My name is...

Kirito.

Kirito?

I came from over that way and got a little lost.

Over that way? South of the forest?

Did you come from Zakkaria?

N-No, not exactly.

Well, to tell the truth...

I don't actually know where I came from.

What do you mean? You don't even know the name of your hometown?

N-No, I don't remember.

When I came to, I was in the forest.

I can't believe it. I've heard the stories, but I've never seen one before.

A lost child of Vecta.

V-Vecta?

Huh? Do they call them something else in your homeland?

In my village, that's what they're called.

People who suddenly vanish without a trace,
or who suddenly show up in the forest or in a field.

The dark god, Vecta, likes to prank humans by spiriting them away,

stealing their memories, and leaving them somewhere far away.

R-Really?

I guess that does kinda sound like me.

His facial expressions and responses are way too natural for an NPC.

Let's test him.

Anyway, I'm in a bit of a bind. So what I want...

...is to get out of here.

Is that so?

This forest is pretty deep, I guess.

You're bound to get lost if you don't know the way.

But don't worry.

There's a path that leads to the north.

N-No, actually...

I want to log out!

Log... What now?

No good, huh?

Sorry. Um...

It means that I'd like to find a place to sleep in town.

Really? That's the first time I've heard that phrase.

So now what?

If he is a test player, then his memories must be restricted.

My village is just to the north,

but we never get any travelers,
so we don't have an inn.

But if you explain the situation, maybe Sister Azalia at the church will help you.

I-Is that right? I think I'll try my luck at the village, then.

Hold on!

Our men-at-arms might not let you into the village if you show up alone.

I'll go with you and explain the situation.

That would be a big help. Thanks.

But I can't go with you at the moment, since I still have work.

It's going to take another four hours or so.

That's okay, I'll wait. Thanks again for the help.

Okay, great. Take a seat somewhere, then.

I haven't told you my name yet, have I?

I'm Eugeo. Nice to meet you!

Eugeo. Where have I...

What's wrong, Kirito-kun?

N-Nice to meet you.

And you can just call me Kirito.

Yeah? Then you can call me Eugeo.

Hold on a sec.

You must be hungry.

Th-Thanks.

At the very least, he's not an NPC.

But it's still not clear to me if he's a test player or not.

Maybe this isn't a virtual world, but reality?

Staying edible for a long time is this stuff's only redeeming quality.

But just to be safe...

I think he went like this.

That settles it.

This is neither reality nor a parallel universe.

It's a virtual world.

Hey, Kirito.

You're at least familiar with the Stacia Window, right?

O-Of course!

It's still got plenty of life left,
so you don't have to scarf it down.

If it were summer, no way it would keep this long.

Rock solid!

Pretty awful, isn't it?

I buy this bread at the bakery on my way here,

but since it's so early, there's only leftovers from the day before.

And there isn't enough time to go back to the village at noon.

Then why don't you bring lunch from home?

Years ago, somebody brought me lunch at noon every day.

But now...

What happened?

I'd known her all my life.

A girl, same age as me.

When we were little, we'd spend our days playing with each other.

Even after I received my Calling,
she'd bring me lunch every day.

But then...

Because of me...

One day, the two of us went to a cave up north, and she accidentally entered the Dark Territory.

A place that the Taboo Index forbids us from ever setting foot in.

Taboo Index?

The next day, an Integrity Knight arrived in the village,

and she was taken away to the central city.

But you know, Kirito, I still believe.

That she's alive.

I just know Alice is alive somewhere in the central city.

Alice. I know that name.

Alice...

Sorry about that.

I didn't mean to get all weird on you.
It doesn't feel like I just met you, is all.

Oh, no, I don't mind.

But if you really want to find out, why don't you go look for her in this central city?

Even with a fast horse, it would take a week to get to the central city from my village.

Well, if you prepared for the journey...

I would if I could.

But shirking my Calling to go on a journey would be a Taboo Index violation.

Th-That's a good point.

Um...

So when was Alice-san taken away to the central city?

The summer I was eleven, so six years ago.

Thanks.

Okay, well, try to hang tight for a bit, okay?

I'll get my work over and done with.

By the way, Eugeo, your work... your Calling. What is it?

Oh, had I not mentioned it?

So your Calling is to be a woodcutter?

Well, I guess you could call it that.

Not that I've cut down a single tree in the seven years since I received my Calling.

This huge tree is called the Gigas Cedar.

But to most of the villagers,

it's known as the demon tree.

See, this tree sucks up all of Terraria's blessings from its surroundings.

So as long as this tree is standing, we'll never be able to expand our wheat fields.

And so the village sent for this Dragonbone Axe from the central city,

so a dedicated woodcutter could strike it every day.

That's me.

You mean you've been chopping away at this tree every day for seven years?

Seven years of work, and this is all you could manage?

Are you kidding?

I'm the seventh-generation woodcutter.

For 300 years, generations of carvers have spent their days chopping,

and this is how far we've gotten.

Th-Three hundred years?

Hey, Eugeo.

Would you mind letting me try?

I mean, you did give me half of your lunch.

So I should do half of your work, right?

Well, I guess it doesn't say in the Taboo Index that you can't have someone help with your Calling...

But I think you'll see that it's harder than it looks.

Guess there's only one way to find out.

Ouch!

You don't have to laugh that hard...

Sorry, sorry.

You're putting too much power into your shoulders and hips.

Try to relax your whole body.

That's right, this is a virtual world.

Think in terms of your avatar, not your physical body.

Sword skill... Smash!

That wasn't half bad.

Come on. Keep practicing before you forget the feeling.

Fifty!

Okay, that's 1,000.

What, we've already done that many?

Yeah. I did 500, you did 500.

Strike the Gigas Cedar 2,000 times over the morning and afternoon.

That's my Calling.

Two thousand times...

You're a natural, Kirito.

Thanks to you, today was a whole lot easier.

Thanks for the kind words...

But I'm sure you would've been done sooner if it was just you.

I know! Let me show you something interesting.

It's only gone down by about 50 since last month.

Do you get it now?

Even if we didn't get a lot done in half a day,
it doesn't make much of a difference.

All right, then.

Shouldn't you lock that?

What for?

What do you mean? So no one steals it.

No need to worry! The Taboo Index tells us not to steal, remember?

O-Oh, right...

All right, let's head to the village.

H-Hey...

Hey, wait up!

Hey, Eugeo.

Who the hell is that?

Zink.

This is Kirito.

A lost child of Vecta, it seems.

Hey, you really can't remember anything?

N-No.

You even forgot your Calling?

That's right.

Must not have been a Calling worth anything, then.

Just like Eugeo's.

It musta been one pointless, futile job!

Unlike my Calling, man-at-arms—

Swordsman.

My Calling was a swordsman, I'm guessing.

Swordsman? A scrawny, weak-looking guy like you can wield a sword?

Then why don't you show me?

A one-handed sword...

Was that a...

...light effect?

I can use sword skills in this world?

That was amazing, Kirito!

I never would have guessed you could do that!

Maybe you were a sentinel in some big city?

M-Maybe so.

Zink?

You're satisfied, right? I'm going to let Kirito into the village.

I'm beat.

Finally made it, huh?

Yeah, but...

Nobody in the village even doubts that I'm a lost child of Vecta, huh?

Well, you are, right?

Well, yeah. Sure I am.

Quit being silly, then. I'm getting the Sister.

How can I help you?

U-Uh...

Here you go. A pillow and blanket.

Prayers start at six in the morning. Breakfast is at seven.

I'll come check on you, but try to get up on your own.

If you oversleep and miss prayers,

Sister Azalia can be really scary!

No one's allowed out after lights out, so be mindful of that.

She saw us!

Run!

Um... do you have any other questions?

I'm think I'm good. Thanks for everything.

Good night, then.

You know how to put out the lamp, right?

Yeah. Good night, Selka.

This isn't the real world.

And there isn't a single NPC in this village.

Even so, there can't be enough STLs to allow every villager to log in as a tester.

Based on what Eugeo said,

more than 300 years have passed in this universe.

And Eugeo has spent at least six years here.

If that's true, then Eugeo and the others...

Eugeo and the others were raised here from birth.

So they must be copies of the souls of newborns who were then raised in this virtual world.

In other words, artificial Fluctlights.

It's hard to believe, but there's no other explanation.

But why would they do such a thing?

And just how fast has time been accelerated in this world?

What would happen if I lived out my life here before getting back to reality?

I might be able to contact Kikuoka in a bigger city.

Right now, I don't have the money to go cross-country,

and I don't know enough about this world.

But if I had someone's help, maybe I could get to this so-called central city.
