Hello, everyone. It's now time for Sword Art Offline.

I'm your host, A sun a.

And I'm your commentator, Kirito.

This is an info-variety show that will bring you news

on everything that's happening in Aincrad.

We'll be bringing you big-name guests every episode, so please look forward to them.

I have to say, it's amazing how popular Silica is, isn't it?

It sure is. She's quite a celebrity.

I had always thought that men preferred mature women,

but that doesn't seem to be the case, does it?

Well... That's more a case of "to each his own," I think.

There's no shortage of men who like childlike girls.

Actually, I guess there might be a lot of them.

I see...

So, which sort of girl is your type, Kirito?

The mature type? Or, like I thought, do you go for the childlike type?

What's with the "Like I thought"?

Well, those stalker rumors...

Look, those are just rumors. You said so yourself, right, A sun a?

Well, yes... But when I see pictures like that, I cant help but worry.

I have a kid sister who's about the same age as Silica.

That's why I couldn't let it go when I thought she was in trouble.

Oh, so that's why. I'm sorry for suspecting you.

Just so long as we're clear on that.

Sure.

And without further ado, let's get Sword Art Offline started!

Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui There are no jobs in the Sword Art Online world,

Trivia Master: Yui but with hard work, a player can become a Beast Tamer or run a blacksmith business.

Trivia Master: Yui Try it out for yourselves, okay?

Trivia Master: Yui This has been Sword Art Trivia!

PLAYBACK CORNER

In this segment, we select various scenes from episodes

included on the Blu-ray or DVD and comment on them along with our guest.

And without further ado, let's introduce today's guest!

Here she is! Come on out!

Beast Tamer Silica Hi, everyone! I'm Silica!

It's good to see you again, Kirito!

You, too, Silica. I'm glad you're looking well.

You met Kirito in floor 35, didn't you, Silica?

Yes, he saved me from a real pinch!

And you helped me out a lot after that, too. Right?

Well, maybe...

Sure you did! To me, I both feel like I owe you my life, and like you're my big brother.

Oh, right! From now on, would it be okay if I called you Big Brother?

"Big Brother"?!

I can't?

Um... If that's what you want to call me, I don't really mind.

That's great! Thanks so much, Big Brother Kirito!

Silica...

Big Brother Kirito!

Silica, Kirito seems a bit bothered by that, so maybe you should stop.

I suppose you're right...

It's a bother, isn't it?

N-No, it's no bother at all!

You really mean it?! Thank you!

A-Anyway, let's play back clips from episodes 3 through 5!

Let's start with this scene from episode 4.

What's that item, Kirito-san?

It's called a Mirage Sphere.

It's so pretty!

Here's floor 47's town area.

And this is the Hill of Memories.

After that, Kirito and I spent time all by ourselves.

He made me feel so safe!

Kirito?

I only picked that because I thought it would be cool to introduce the Mirage Sphere item!

Really, I swear!

Silica, please stop saying things that could be misinterpreted!

Huh? Was I wrong about something?

L-Let's move on to this scene from episode 5!

I didn't think she'd really fall asleep.

I was only suggesting that you take a cat nap. I didn't expect you to fall fast asleep.

I couldn't help it! I fell fast asleep for some reason!

Now that I think about it, I should've drawn scribbles on her face while she was asleep.

Big Brother Kirito, you kidder!

If you had, you'd have a hole in your face right now.

L-Let's move on to the next clip, shall we?

This scene is also from episode 5.

Morning. Sleep well?

One meal...

She wasn't exactly demure back then.

That must have been fun!

That's why I get the overwhelming urge to tease her.

Kirito, you jerk...

Moving right along, let's look at this top clip of Silica's from episode 4!

That's not the scene I requested!

W-Why would you pick a scene like that?!

Kirito?!

It's rude to ogle a scene where a girl is being embarrassed!

This has been the Playback Corner.

Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui A player can immediately use an item that is stored in his pouch,

Trivia Master: Yui but items placed in Item Storage are digitized, and take a while to call up.

Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui For that reason, restoration items or teleport crystals

Trivia Master: Yui should be placed in your pouch ahead of time.

Trivia Master: Yui Remember that for future reference, okay?

Trivia Master: Yui This has been Sword Art Trivia!

KLEIN'S LIFE-COACHING CORNER

In this segment, Klein will solve the problems of various people

who live in the world of Sword Art Online.

We're all in this together, SO you can count on me!

So, S, what seems to be the trouble?

consultee: S (alias) Well, the thing is, there's someone who is like a big brother to me.

Well, the thing is, there's someone who is like a big brother to me.

When we first met, I was happy with that,

but I've been thinking that maybe I want him to be more than that.

What can I do to get him to see me as a woman?

Hm... That's definitely a common problem, but it's a tricky thing to solve.

Really?

Yeah! Guys tend to be pretty clueless in cases like this.

little sister because They treat the girl like a to how they really feel. they don't catch on.

What should I do, then?

Go the full-on "sex appeal” route,

or if that's out, I guess the only other option is to patiently wait

until the guy figures out how you feel, S.

Is... that all?

He'll never know how you feel unless you come out and tell him.

A sun a?

Plus, even if he turns you down,

that's better than regretting never saying anything.

At the very least, he'll know how you feel.

But this person is an Assault Team member,

and he's a much higher level than me.

The level difference alone worries me...

S, is this boy the sort of person who doesn't associate with low-level people?

No, he's not like that.

But the thought that I might get in his way...

A level difference is no big deal.

I'm sure that there are ways you can spend time together outside of battles.

I know it's scary to tell someone you love them, but I know you can do it.

I'll be cheering you on!

A sun a...

I understand! I'll try telling him!

It looks like her problem got sorted out.

You weren't even needed.

Oh, shut up! If you want to talk about useless,

you were practically invisible the whole segment!

This has been Klein's Life-Coaching Corner!

Silica, how did you enjoy your time here today?

It was lots of fun!

Kirito was as cool as ever,

and Klein is a stouthearted, reliable man.

Plus, you were an amazing person, A sun a.

If the chance ever comes up, call me again!

Okay, A sun a?

Did you hear that? She called me a reliable man!

Dude, you are so simpleminded...

Everybody! Look forward to the same great life coaching next time!

Let's meet again in the next Sword Art Online video!
