It was December 17, 2025, when Kirito, Asuna, Eugeo, and Yuuki were together in New Aincrad, on level 22, in the wooden cabin.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6MyrzMcdg
They were eating cake when they heard the login sound. It was Alice.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GKhtHZGrJ
When Eugeo saw her, he stood up and hugged her. Alice immediately blushed bright red.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvaAWIFkks
Yuuki then interrupted.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4V46jLqtb
Yuuki: Asuna, would you like to meet up later in real life and go shopping?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5DA2fltVH
Asuna: Sure, I'd love that. Afterwards, I can introduce you to my parents. They've wanted to meet you for a while now.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYgPdkS6xe
Then Yuuki and Asuna logged off.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4FhUL26J
Eugeo: Kirito, are you coming with me? I wanted to get Liz to repair my sword.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbaCeeLK15
Kirito: No, I have to go offline and cook something. If I forget again, Sugu will rip my head off.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4IMoc0Q8x
Eugeo: Then I'll go alone.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhRaKcEZzV
At that moment, Alice's heart leaped. She couldn't get it up, not knowing how close Liz and Eugeo always were.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2SPiXCwl
Alice: Um, well, Eugeo, I'll come with you.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMks2amXKF
Eugeo: Oh, sure, you can come along.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfeo5xs9u7
So Kirito logged out, and Alice and Eugeo set off.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0X6AemAHC
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrsCs8trNo
* at Yuuki and Asuna's
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRGsX2hzVn
They had finished shopping and entered Asuna's apartment.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcBpcXX87W
Asuna: Mom! Dad! I'm back! I brought someone with me.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsCNpegRDU
Asuna's mom and dad went into the hallway and looked at Yuuki. Asuna's mom almost jumped out of her skin and left the room.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPzI5TCquW
Asuna's father raised his voice: "ASUNA, THAT GIRL! YOU'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN, LET SHE LET SEE HER IN OUR APARTMENT!"
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nlGEyxRsq
With that, Yuuki left the house.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SnLvsb6CX
Asuna was devastated. Her best friend... why? Why?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NRrThdX5t
She went to her room and cried.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGXRJGE1eX
Meanwhile, at Alice and Eugeo's place
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65uwiqsic0
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkRoepfJrp
They arrived at Liz's smithy.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhIkNORh8x
Liz: Hey Eugeo, how are you? she asked with a big smile.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrouggYx0k
Then she looked at Alice.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxhcC2ZeFv
Liz: Hey Alice.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGMPueNUg3
Eugeo grinned back.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b5FjQgJaw
Eugeo: I'm fine, but I need your help with this sword. It's really broken.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmAZXhGAA8
He showed it to Liz, and their hands touched for a few seconds.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Sr6V0Z0k
In Alice's opinion, a few seconds too long.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOgSj7E0JO
Alice: Um, well... I have to go now.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNWW0pK4T3
And before Liz or Eugeo could say anything, she was gone.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zLCjJ3bCY
Alice wandered around alone.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDRF9nmJ2o
Alice: Idiot, Liz! Ugh, I'll use my sword someday.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfVaCgPHlw
She said to herself and continued walking.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiBRGIGgbH
Kirito was cooking when Suguha came home from kendo practice.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Q3vbbv9J
She rushed into the kitchen to find Kirito cooking.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEO8Lj4eeZ
Kirito: Hey Sugu! Why are you so excited? I haven't forgotten to cook!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnaRubXhWw
Suguha: Oh man, Onii-chan! I found something in the attic earlier. She opened the book. It seemed to contain the names of old family members.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGWNnkx2Fc
Kirito: And that's why all the drama, Sugu! What's so special about that?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHcuIJ8EPr
Suguha: No, Kirito, look!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCUJG6279t
She pointed to a relative who lived from 1889 to 1960.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5rcqHwhOi
The name: Dietrich Ryoutarou
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaGEmhrA5U
Kirito looked up, confused.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOfzEm9nbW
Kirito: No, Suguha, that can't be right, it must be just a coincidence.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axpswnnxF
Suguha: No, I called Klein earlier. He really did have a distant relative with that name.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMEhs9n9n7
Addendum: Kirito and Suguha later spoke with their parents, and Klein was indeed a distant relative of theirs.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsChUbIEC6X
The next morning, Asuna woke up. Her parents called her downstairs to the living room.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtIqi8T11i
Asuna's mother: We need to talk.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgCYmVTJ9O
Asuna, sit silently.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWgpkQ79j2
Asuna's father: This Yuuki, she's... She's your half-sister. Some time after her birth, your mother had an affair with me and became pregnant. I forgave her, but only on the condition that we put her up for adoption afterward and keep it a secret. It would have been a disgrace to this family.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop1lXUEKB3
Asuna looked at her.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASlIeC1KCj
Asuna: She's... My... sister...
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrCwJtvReg
Asuna's mother: Yes, Asuna... And that's why it's better if you don't see her anymore.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHrZMbtiAh
Asuna looked at her parents and became angry.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET6ilYdjh3
Asuna: No, no, and again, no! I will still see her, now more than ever. I'm not responsible for your mistakes.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfhx4pJ39r
Without hesitation, Asuna left the house.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pQbZEI87q
* At Alice's side at that moment
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirXZSXjcBH
She wanted to apologize to Eugeo for disappearing so suddenly yesterday when she saw them together in an alley.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTIDr2YRwm
Eugeo and Liz... kissing.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KvX46pBdt
Alice's heart broke into a thousand pieces at that moment.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWUHySTaoF
Eugeo noticed Alice.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9IbGtU3Ns
Eugeo: Oh, Alice, um, we didn't mean for it to be like this...
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxZt2j1cT7
Alice interrupted her and started to cry.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrlbecXlqQ
Alice: You... You... You IDIOT!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fpGwcZmI5
Eugeo didn't understand at all.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa69dSZVhXz
Alice: Haven't you ever noticed the looks I give you? I... I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, OK?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc0wG0gZ3V
Alice turned around and ran away.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMMVOp654o
Eugeo: Alice, wait! But she was already gone.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj3sW6eYGk
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kQVoWpBof
Kirito and Suguha
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3nxQPms0j
They asked Klein to come to Alo; they wanted to talk to him.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf58cLQfI0E
Klein logged in.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1tUzpMzyJ
Klein: So, you wanted to talk to me. What's up?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyEYMKByxn
Suguha: Hey Klein, well, I found a book on our attic earlier, and according to this book, we're distant cousins.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr1r7soNgi
Klein: Wait, is this a joke???
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7XfALvD1r
Kirito: No, it's not.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGR1XnMCDe
They were both afraid of his reaction.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuwDh1hCTe
Klein: That's... YES, AWESOME! THEN WE'RE RELATED FROM TODAY ON!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51CKY8Dj8g
Kirito: You're not shocked?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDNbmG0nvj
Klein: NO, NOT AT ALL! This is awesome! Now I can always say I have a cousin.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCII9QFTdx
And so the three of them talked and laughed for several more hours.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK5g07RGdf
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQzxamqeX6
* Meanwhile, at Asuna's
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RBO4OE1mX
She walked through the park where she met Yuuki.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5NGlZk5ww
She sat down next to her in silence.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YWk3tm6qJ
Asuna: Yuuki, can we talk for a minute?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5QHYNFJsa
Yuuki: Sure, anytime.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDta80eqZE
Asuna: So, now I know why my parents reacted the way they did.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqmnaPafov
She remained silent.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm6Gfwj4X7
Asuna: My mother cheated on my father years ago and had a child.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHopY0ztUzh
...That child is you, Yuuki. You're my half-sister...
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvjcaIhig2
Yuuki looked at her, unsure what to say.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIGZxZGLyH
Yuuki: You... Are you my sister???
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrkkMyPAF2
Asuna: Yes, I understand if you don't want anything to do with me anymore. After all, my parents just gave you away...
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L6t2IACnx
Yuuki: Asuna... NO, NEVER! I always thought you were my best friend, but... This is even better.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP9TnmSONo
Yuuki hugged Asuna tightly, and they embraced for a long time. They now had a bond that would last forever.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5iUGNuxUh
At Eugeo and Alice
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl9Cak6Nlo
Eugeo: Please, Alice, stay still.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z5lKXVnC0
Alice stopped.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlHGjwiTOX
Alice: Eugeo, please go away. I don't want to see anyone.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iUINRiFFx
Eugeo: No, I won't leave you alone like this.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnsjPfBvS5
Eugeo: I'm sorry I never noticed. I didn't mean to hurt you.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3O03BQv2u
Alice: I know, and you've made your choice. That's just how it is.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmeZodnqJ
Eugeo placed his hand on her shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX3qEH8huR
Eugeo: May I?
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySO8AkNpvq
Alice nodded.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlPvUmJxdq
He pulled her into a hug.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwmh52IN5u
Alice: Thank you, Eugeo. I really do.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZmZSElGoz
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzGA9EWmb
Epilogue:
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3DOygXU70
The next day, everyone met at Agile's bar to celebrate.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunPOpXfUU6
Kirito: So, let's drink to our new siblings, our new couple, and well... our new family relationships.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIUjQSnAzV
Kirito: Kanpai
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡummbY8ZUVg
Everyone: Kanpai
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eyb8t1mXT
They stayed for several hours, laughing and talking
