Sister!

Good morning, Sister!

Selka.

Welcome, Selka.

What brings you here today?

Since it's so nice out, I wanted to go to the eastern hill.

And Kirito can come too, right?

It's such a lovely day.

It'd be a shame for him to spend it inside.

Shall we go, Kirito?

All right.

Let's get going.

I'm sorry. I'll get them for you right away.

Hold on tight so you don't drop them, all right?

You don't think he'll be cold?

Really. You're such a worrywart.

You've piled enough clothes on him to make him sweat.

Right, Kirito?

Eugeo, you think so too, right?

It's beautiful.

Far more beautiful than any painting on the Cathedral's walls.

It’s the world you saved, Kirito.

This is bad, Kiku!

If they sever the main power line, it'll cause a surge!

The Lightcube Cluster is protected, but...

The surge will hit Kirigaya's STL in Subcon!

His Fluctlight will get fried!

I'll handle the lockdown procedure!

Higa, you take Dr. Kojiro and Asuna and evacuate to the Upper Shaft.

Keep Kirito safe.

Asuna?

Kirito.

It's no good, they're cutting the power! The screw propellers are going to stop!

Kirito!

Kirito!

Kirito!

You've saved my life, so now you must see things through!

Kirito!

Kirito.

Little one.

Uncle...

What happened?

This is the gravest emergency since the Axiom Church was founded.

The pontifex was defeated by two elite disciples and has left the Human Empire.

What did you say?

How... How is that possible?

And that's not all.

Prime Senator Chudelkin has also met his end, and the Senate has ceased to function.

Why did those disciples do such a terrible thing?

Because the pontifex was pursuing a horrific plan to convert half of the population

into monstrous, sword-shaped weapons.

Her Eminence the pontifex had such a heinous scheme in motion?

Unbelievable.

Sir Bercouli, where are the two who murdered Her Eminence?

They must be captured and interrogated!

There's no time to deal with them right now.

What do you think will happen when the Dark Territory finds out the pontifex is gone?

Not to mention, all our battles with those swordsmen and the Dark Territory

have halved the Integrity Knights' ranks.

If we were to be attacked by the Dark Territory in this state,

we wouldn't be able to hold out on our own.

Then what should we do?

First, we're going to restore the decimated Order of the Integrity Knights.

Next, we'll have to reorganize and retrain the Imperial Knights of the four empires.

There's not nearly enough Integrity Knights, after all.

I'm sure some of you are unhappy about this,

but right now, saving the people is our top priority.

I ask that you lend me your strength.

Sir!

June 9, 380 (H.E.C.)

Kirito... I wonder if he's hungry.

Hey, is it true that the rebel swordsman is still alive?

Yeah. But I hear he's in a coma.

I know we need to prepare for the Dark Territory's invasion,

but shouldn't we execute the rebel who defied the Axiom Church?

What is Knight Commander Bercouli thinking?

It's not safe for Kirito here.

Let's go to Rulid Village.

It's where Eugeo and I were born,

so they might accept us there.

Hold on!

Strangers can't just walk into the village!

That's...

You... You can't be...

I am Alice. I'd like you to summon the village elder, Gasuft Zuberg.

Alice.

Is that you?

Yes.

Why are you here?

Have you been absolved of your crime?

As punishment for my crime,

I've lost all memory of having lived in this village.

Whether or not that means my crime has been forgiven, I can't say.

But at this time, this village is the only place I can go.

Begone.

We can't allow a criminal to live here.

Sister?

It's nothing. Shall we head back?

Okay.

What's the matter, Selka?

Is something troubling you?

Well, you see, Mr. Barbossa wants to ask you to help remove another tree from that clearing.

Oh, is that all?

You don't have to be worried about that.

But those people are so selfish!

Mr. Barbossa and Mr. Ridack won't even let you live in the village,

but they don't hesitate to ask for your help when they're in trouble.

It's all right, Selka.

I'm just grateful that they're allowing us to live near the village.

Sister, I'll complete my training period next year,

and though it won't be much, I'll start getting paid.

When that happens, you won't have to help those people anymore, okay?

You and Kirito... I'll... I'll always...

Thank you.

But just having you close by is enough to make me happy.

Selka.

Why is this taking so long?

While you've been wasting time here, Ridack's men have expanded his land 20 mels in all directions!

Hello, Mr. Barbossa.

Alice, so good of you to come!

I heard that you wished to see me.

Here, just look at this mess!

We've been toiling over this pesky platinum oak since yesterday morning.

Even with ten grown men hacking at it, we've hardly made a dent.

And so, I know we have a once-a-month arrangement,

but I wonder if you could do me a favor just this once, Alice?

Very well, Mr. Barbossa.

If it's just this once.

I really owe you, Alice!

I'm sorry, Kirito.

I'd like to borrow your sword for a little bit.

Thank you.

Hey now! You really think you can cut down a platinum oak with that flimsy thing?

That sword's going to snap in two!

What's that? Did she miss?

It's going to fall your way.

Sorry?

What are you—

Mag...

Magnif...

Magnificent!

What splendid skills you have! That was simply divine!

What do you say, Alice?

I'll double your fee, so instead of once a month,

could you help out once a week— no, make that once a day?

No.

The amount you're paying me now is sufficient.

My payment.

That's right, that's right!

Thank you very much.

Kirito!

What's this? It's really heavy!

No wonder even a woman like that can fell a platinum oak with one blow, right?

Let me.

That sword belongs to Kirito.

Give it back to him at once.

Look, we did ask that guy to lend us his sword!

And he was generous enough to agree.

He was all, "Aah, aah." You know?

Fine then! No need to look so angry.

What in the world did we fight for,

suffering such unbearable pain?

Eugeo lost his life.

Kirito lost his emotions and his speech.

What exactly did we go so far to protect?

Amayori.

You've gained a bit of weight.

You've been gorging on too many fish at the lake.

Good night, Amayori.

Here.

Take your time eating, all right?

Is that...

Amayori's elder brother, Takiguri.

Which means...

I'm impressed you found this place.

What do you want,

Eldrie Synthesis Thirty-One?

It's been quite a while,

my mentor, Lady Alice.

So how did you find this place?

I'm sure the Order can't afford to send dragons all over just to track me down.

I followed the bond between our souls,

or so I'd like to say.

But unfortunately, it was a complete coincidence.

Recently, we've learned that goblins and orcs have been mobilizing in the north.

On the Knight Commander's orders, we've collapsed the caves to the north, south and west,

but I've come to make sure they don't try to dig them out again.

So were you able to determine what the forces of darkness are doing?

I spent a full day patrolling the perimeters of the cave,

but I didn't spot a single goblin or orc.

The interior of the cave was filled with rocks all the way to the ceiling.

Afterwards, when I mounted to return to the capital, Takiguri began acting strangely.

When I let loose his reins, this is where we ended up landing.

Now that I've been reunited with you,

it is my obligation to say to you:

Lady Alice, please return to the Knights!

We need your sword more than we need an army of thousands!

I cannot.

But why not?

Is it because of that man?

The man who broke out of the Cathedral prison and raised his treacherous blade

against so many knights and senators, not to mention the pontifex herself?

So he's still leading your heart astray?

If so, then I shall eliminate the source of that confusion

right here, this very instant!

Stop it.

He, too, fought out of his sense of personal justice.

Otherwise, how could we, the mighty Integrity Knights— even the Knight Commander himself—

have all been defeated one after another?

You fought him yourself, so surely you sensed the weight of his sword!

If that's true, then why won't this man take up his sword in battle now?

Why would he allow himself to be reduced to such a pathetic state and shackle you to these hinterlands?

If it's true that he killed Administrator for the sake of the people,

then isn't it his duty to go to the Eastern Gate this very moment?

Forgive me, Eldrie.

I simply cannot go with you.

It has nothing to do with Kirito's condition.

I can no longer wield my sword.

That's all there is to it.

If I were to cross swords with you now,

I most likely wouldn't last three strikes.

Is that so?

Then I won't press you further.

I bid you farewell, my mentor.

I, Eldrie, shall never forget the secret sword moves and techniques you taught me as long as I live.

Take care. I pray that you'll be safe.

"I'll be fine even if you're gone"

"I'll be fine even if you're gone"

"I'll be fine even if you're gone"

An empty assurance escapes my lips again

An empty assurance escapes my lips again

An empty assurance escapes my lips again

I'm sorry. You must be tired.

Let's go to bed, shall we?

Tell me, Kirito.

What should I do?

Your smell, the way you talk

What should I...

Pieces of love are still left all over my body

Kirito?

My only wish, my only wish is

What's wrong, Kirito?

May you, wherever you are now,
