▶ EXTRA : March 6, 2024 Floor 56: Pani	(0:00:00.60)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : We'll lure the field boss into the village.	(0:00:14.49)
▶ Kirito : W-Wait a second.	(0:00:18.87)
▶ Kirito : If you do that, the villagers...	(0:00:20.77)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : That's the idea.	(0:00:22.71)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : While the boss is killing NPCs,	(0:00:24.19)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : we'll attack and destroy it.	(0:00:26.75)
▶ Kirito : NPCs aren't just 3-D objects like trees or rocks.	(0:00:29.62)
▶ Kirito : They're...	(0:00:33.29)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Alive? Is that it?	(0:00:34.14)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : They're only objects.	(0:00:37.94)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Even if they're killed, they'll just respawn.	(0:00:40.20)
▶ Kirito : I can't go along with this.	(0:00:44.56)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : I, Asuna, Vice Commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath,	(0:00:48.44)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : will oversee this operation.	(0:00:52.10)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : You will obey my orders.	(0:00:55.71)
▶ Agil : Hey.	(0:01:07.00)
▶ Agil : Another fight, huh?	(0:01:08.20)
▶ Kirito : Egil?	(0:01:09.71)
▶ Agil : Why are you and the second-in-command always that way?	(0:01:10.73)
▶ Kirito : I guess we just don't get along.	(0:01:15.21)
▶ Kirito : You'll be really strong.	(0:01:18.29)
▶ Kirito : So if someone you trust ever invites you to join a guild,	(0:01:20.05)
▶ Kirito : don't turn them down.	(0:01:24.64)
▶ Kirito : That's what I said, but I never expected her	(0:01:26.06)
▶ Kirito : to start clearing floors with a top guild.	(0:01:29.59)
▶ EXTRA : A Crime Within the Walls	(0:03:02.99)
▶ EXTRA : April 11, 2024 Floor 59: Danac	(0:03:11.12)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : What are you doing?	(0:03:19.43)
▶ Kirito : What?	(0:03:26.94)
▶ Kirito : It's you.	(0:03:27.93)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : The other lead group members are all working hard to clear the dungeon.	(0:03:29.20)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Why are you out here taking a nap?	(0:03:32.85)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Even if you're a solo player, you need to be serious－	(0:03:36.42)
▶ Kirito : It's Aincrad's nicest season,	(0:03:38.85)
▶ Kirito : and today is its nicest weather setting.	(0:03:41.65)
▶ Kirito : Entering the dungeon on a day like this is a waste.	(0:03:45.38)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Do you not understand?	(0:03:48.32)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Every day we spend here is one we've lost in the real world.	(0:03:50.76)
▶ Kirito : But right now, we're alive here, in Aincrad.	(0:03:55.79)
▶ Kirito : See?	(0:04:04.31)
▶ Kirito : The wind and sunlight feel so good.	(0:04:05.46)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Do they?	(0:04:08.86)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : There's nothing special about this weather.	(0:04:10.42)
▶ Kirito : If you'd lie down for a bit, you'd understand.	(0:04:13.64)
▶ EXTRA : Hey, look.	(0:04:58.24)
▶ EXTRA : Asleep already?	(0:05:00.40)
▶ EXTRA : Some people don't work too hard.	(0:05:01.97)
▶ EXTRA : Who are they? Jeez...	(0:05:03.76)
▶ Kirito : I didn't think she'd really fall asleep.	(0:05:07.82)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : What...	(0:05:39.08)
▶ Kirito : Morning.	(0:05:41.77)
▶ Kirito : Sleep well?	(0:05:42.76)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : One meal...	(0:05:54.53)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : One meal!	(0:05:57.58)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : I'll buy you one meal of any kind.	(0:05:59.02)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Then we'll be even, okay?	(0:06:01.24)
▶ EXTRA : Floor 57: Martin	(0:06:05.69)
▶ EXTRA : That's Asuna from the Knights of the Blood Oath.	(0:06:15.31)
▶ EXTRA : That's the Lightning Flash...	(0:06:18.35)
▶ EXTRA : Who's the guy in black?	(0:06:20.10)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Well, anyway...	(0:06:23.31)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Thanks for today.	(0:06:26.07)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : For watching over me.	(0:06:29.39)
▶ Kirito : Ah, no problem...	(0:06:30.97)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : The towns are safe areas, so no one can attack	(0:06:32.78)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : or player-kill you.	(0:06:37.33)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : But it's different when you're asleep.	(0:06:40.51)
▶ Kirito : Yeah.	(0:06:42.75)
▶ Kirito : Sleep-PKs, dirty tricks that use the duel system.	(0:06:43.73)
▶ Kirito : Normally, duels are just tests of strength.	(0:06:47.42)
▶ Kirito : But during a duel,	(0:06:51.47)
▶ Kirito : HP can go down, even in a safe zone.	(0:06:52.74)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : So you can challenge a sleeping person,	(0:06:58.15)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : using their own finger to press the OK button.	(0:07:00.80)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Then you just keep attacking.	(0:07:05.26)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : It's happened before.	(0:07:08.01)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : So, well...	(0:07:11.44)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Thank you.	(0:07:13.71)
▶ Kirito : W-Well...	(0:07:15.26)
▶ Kirito : Y-You're welcome.	(0:07:17.01)
▶ Kirito : Hurry and pull it out!	(0:07:39.61)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : You stay down here and catch him.	(0:07:48.98)
▶ Kirito : Got it.	(0:07:50.79)
▶ Kirito : Hang on!	(0:07:52.76)
▶ Kirito : Damn it...	(0:07:56.97)
▶ Kirito : A duel is the only way to kill someone inside a safe zone.	(0:08:13.10)
▶ Kirito : That means...	(0:08:18.19)
▶ Kirito : Everyone!	(0:08:19.55)
▶ Kirito : Look for the "Duel Winner" notification!	(0:08:20.41)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : There's no one inside.	(0:08:24.51)
▶ Kirito : Just what	(0:08:40.37)
▶ Kirito : is this?	(0:08:41.70)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : The obvious conclusion	(0:08:43.15)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : is that the challenger impaled the victim with that spear,	(0:08:45.17)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : put a noose around his neck, and pushed him out this window.	(0:08:48.66)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Wouldn't you say?	(0:08:52.70)
▶ Kirito : But no one had the Winner message.	(0:08:54.09)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : That's impossible.	(0:08:57.49)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : The only way to hurt someone in a safe area is via duel.	(0:08:58.67)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Either way, we can't ignore this.	(0:09:08.43)
▶ Kirito : Yeah.	(0:09:12.19)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : If someone's found a way to PK within safe areas,	(0:09:14.67)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : it will be dangerous inside towns as well as outside.	(0:09:17.63)
▶ Kirito : You're right.	(0:09:22.09)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : We'll have to leave the front lines for now, but we have no choice.	(0:09:24.23)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : I'll need you to help me until we solve this.	(0:09:30.54)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Just so we're completely clear, there won't be any time for napping.	(0:09:34.28)
▶ Kirito : You're the one who was napping.	(0:09:37.62)
▶ Kirito : Excuse me.	(0:09:53.27)
▶ Kirito : Did anyone see the whole thing?	(0:09:54.42)
▶ Kirito : If you did, please speak up.	(0:09:57.13)
▶ EXTRA : By the time I got here...	(0:10:02.48)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Sorry, I know you've just had a frightening experience.	(0:10:05.66)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : What's your name?	(0:10:09.31)
▶ Yoruko : My name is Yoruko...	(0:10:11.88)
▶ Kirito : Was that first scream yours?	(0:10:15.01)
▶ Yoruko : Y-Yes.	(0:10:18.12)
▶ Yoruko : I just came here to eat dinner	(0:10:19.42)
▶ Yoruko : with the man who was killed.	(0:10:22.41)
▶ Yoruko : His name is Kains.	(0:10:25.28)
▶ Yoruko : We used to be in the same guild.	(0:10:28.24)
▶ Yoruko : But we got separated in the plaza.	(0:10:31.27)
▶ Yoruko : I looked around,	(0:10:34.17)
▶ Yoruko : and I saw him hanging from the church window...	(0:10:35.85)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Did you see anyone else?	(0:10:41.88)
▶ Yoruko : It was just for a second,	(0:10:45.25)
▶ Yoruko : but I thought I saw someone behind Kains.	(0:10:47.04)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Did that person look familiar?	(0:10:52.70)
▶ Yoruko : No...	(0:10:56.77)
▶ Kirito : I hate to ask this...	(0:10:58.68)
▶ Kirito : But do you know why anyone would've wanted to kill Kains?	(0:11:01.49)
▶ Yoruko : Thank you	(0:11:19.59)
▶ Yoruko : for walking me here.	(0:11:21.03)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Don't worry about it.	(0:11:23.01)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : We can talk more tomorrow.	(0:11:24.13)
▶ Yoruko : Okay...	(0:11:27.58)
▶ Kirito : So, now what?	(0:11:33.76)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Let's review what we know.	(0:11:36.13)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : If we learn where that spear came from,	(0:11:39.42)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : it might lead us to the perpetrator.	(0:11:41.84)
▶ Kirito : Then we'll need someone with an appraisal skill.	(0:11:44.47)
▶ Kirito : You don't...	(0:11:47.39)
▶ Kirito : have one, obviously.	(0:11:49.02)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Of course not.	(0:11:50.39)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Nor do you.	(0:11:51.41)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Also,	(0:11:52.83)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : must you address me so curtly?	(0:11:54.19)
▶ Kirito : U-Um...	(0:11:56.50)
▶ Kirito : Well, maybe...	(0:11:58.08)
▶ Kirito : "Miss," then?	(0:11:59.76)
▶ Kirito : Or, "Vice Commander-sama"?	(0:12:02.29)
▶ Kirito : "Lightning Flash-sama"?	(0:12:04.82)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Just call me Asuna.	(0:12:08.82)
▶ Kirito : R-Roger.	(0:12:11.25)
▶ Kirito : Anyway, do you have any friends with an appraisal skill?	(0:12:12.97)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : A weapons merchant friend has it...	(0:12:18.00)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : But this is their busiest time,	(0:12:20.66)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : so it may take a while.	(0:12:22.86)
▶ Kirito : I see.	(0:12:25.13)
▶ Kirito : Then let's ask an item merchant I know.	(0:12:26.17)
▶ EXTRA : Floor 50: Arcade	(0:12:29.77)
▶ Agil : Thank you! Come again.	(0:12:36.64)
▶ Kirito : Seems you're	(0:12:41.19)
▶ Kirito : just as greedy as ever.	(0:12:42.64)
▶ Agil : Hey, Kirito.	(0:12:45.28)
▶ Agil : Buy cheap and sell cheap. That's my motto.	(0:12:47.45)
▶ Kirito : I don't know about that second part.	(0:12:52.08)
▶ Agil : Don't go slandering my good name.	(0:12:54.29)
▶ Agil : Wh-What's happened, Kirito?	(0:12:59.73)
▶ Agil : You're a solo player, so what're you doing here with Asuna?	(0:13:01.22)
▶ Agil : Didn't you two not get along?	(0:13:05.06)
▶ Agil : Someone's HP dropped to zero within a safe area?	(0:13:10.09)
▶ Agil : And it wasn't a duel?	(0:13:12.86)
▶ Kirito : No one saw a Winner message.	(0:13:14.27)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : If he was walking with Yoruko-san right before,	(0:13:16.95)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : then it's not a sleep-PK.	(0:13:19.92)
▶ Kirito : The method is too involved for some random duel.	(0:13:22.36)
▶ Kirito : We can assume it was a premeditated PK.	(0:13:26.00)
▶ Kirito : And so, we come to this.	(0:13:29.80)
▶ Agil : It's a player-made weapon.	(0:13:41.09)
▶ Kirito : Really?	(0:13:42.69)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Who made it?	(0:13:43.40)
▶ Agil : Grimrock.	(0:13:45.59)
▶ Agil : Never heard of them...	(0:13:47.03)
▶ Agil : Not any top-ranked bladesmith, I can tell you that.	(0:13:49.31)
▶ Agil : And there's nothing particularly unusual about the weapon.	(0:13:51.76)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : But it should still be a clue.	(0:13:54.48)
▶ Kirito : Tell us its item name, too.	(0:13:57.94)
▶ Agil : Let's see...	(0:14:00.23)
▶ Agil : Guilty Thorn is its listed name.	(0:14:01.35)
▶ Kirito : Guilty Thorn...	(0:14:08.08)
▶ Kirito : Okay...	(0:14:20.37)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Wait!	(0:14:24.51)
▶ Kirito : Why?	(0:14:28.59)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Why do you think?	(0:14:29.59)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Are you stupid?!	(0:14:31.39)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : That weapon's already killed someone!	(0:14:32.44)
▶ Kirito : But we won't be sure unless we try.	(0:14:34.94)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : That's crazy! Don't do it!	(0:14:38.63)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Egil-san can hold onto it!	(0:14:41.06)
▶ Agil : Huh? Sure...	(0:14:44.57)
▶ EXTRA : The Next Day	(0:14:48.49)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Hey, Yoruko-san,	(0:14:57.42)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : have you ever heard the name "Grimrock"?	(0:14:59.36)
▶ Yoruko : Yes.	(0:15:05.19)
▶ Yoruko : He was a member of the guild that	(0:15:06.25)
▶ Yoruko : Kains and I were once in.	(0:15:09.49)
▶ Kirito : When we had the spear stuck in Kains-san's chest appraised,	(0:15:12.40)
▶ Kirito : we found out that it was made by Grimrock-san.	(0:15:16.30)
▶ Kirito : Can you think of any reason why that would be?	(0:15:22.15)
▶ Yoruko : Yes, I can.	(0:15:27.20)
▶ Yoruko : I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you yesterday.	(0:15:30.31)
▶ Yoruko : I wanted to forget.	(0:15:34.18)
▶ Yoruko : It's something I don't really want to remember.	(0:15:35.69)
▶ Yoruko : However, I'll tell you.	(0:15:39.77)
▶ Yoruko : What destroyed our guild...	(0:15:43.65)
▶ Yoruko : Our guild's name was Golden Apple.	(0:15:51.40)
▶ Yoruko : Six months ago,	(0:15:56.18)
▶ Yoruko : a rare monster we defeated	(0:15:57.97)
▶ Yoruko : dropped a powerful ring that raised agility by 20.	(0:16:00.52)
▶ Yoruko : We were divided on whether to use it for the guild,	(0:16:04.93)
▶ Yoruko : or sell it and split the earnings.	(0:16:07.42)
▶ Yoruko : But in the end, we put it by vote.	(0:16:11.27)
▶ Yoruko : The vote went 5-3 in favor of selling it.	(0:16:15.61)
▶ Yoruko : Our leader, Griselda-san, was going to stay overnight	(0:16:20.09)
▶ Yoruko : at a large town on the front lines, to give it to a broker.	(0:16:24.09)
▶ Yoruko : However, she never came back.	(0:16:28.79)
▶ Yoruko : Later,	(0:16:36.16)
▶ Yoruko : we learned that she'd died.	(0:16:37.84)
▶ Yoruko : I still don't know why.	(0:16:42.13)
▶ Kirito : No one would leave a safe zone with that kind of rare item.	(0:16:46.33)
▶ Kirito : Which means a sleep-PK?	(0:16:50.65)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Six months ago would have been just before the method really spread.	(0:16:53.49)
▶ Kirito : But it's hard to think it's a coincidence.	(0:16:57.64)
▶ Kirito : Whoever attacked her must have been a player who knew about the ring.	(0:17:00.90)
▶ Kirito : In other words...	(0:17:05.76)
▶ Yoruko : One of the other seven members of Golden Apple...	(0:17:07.13)
▶ Kirito : The most suspicious ones would be those who opposed selling it.	(0:17:12.21)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : You mean they attacked Griselda-san	(0:17:16.92)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : to get the ring before it was sold?	(0:17:19.86)
▶ Kirito : Probably.	(0:17:22.76)
▶ Kirito : Who's Grimrock-san?	(0:17:24.66)
▶ Yoruko : He was Griselda-san's husband.	(0:17:26.59)
▶ Yoruko : Just within the game, naturally.	(0:17:29.92)
▶ Yoruko : Griselda-san was a powerful swordsman.	(0:17:33.81)
▶ Yoruko : Pretty.	(0:17:36.85)
▶ Yoruko : And smart.	(0:17:37.86)
▶ Yoruko : Grimrock-san was a kind man who was always smiling.	(0:17:40.16)
▶ Yoruko : They made a great couple, and they got along well.	(0:17:44.77)
▶ Yoruko : If he was the one responsible for yesterday's murder,	(0:17:49.35)
▶ Yoruko : he must be after the three who opposed selling the ring.	(0:17:53.62)
▶ Yoruko : Two of the three were myself and Kains.	(0:18:00.02)
▶ Kirito : Then who's the other?	(0:18:05.98)
▶ Yoruko : A tank named Schmidt.	(0:18:07.80)
▶ Yoruko : I've heard he's on the front lines now, with the Holy Dragon Alliance.	(0:18:09.83)
▶ Kirito : Schmidt?	(0:18:14.78)
▶ Kirito : I've heard that name...	(0:18:16.20)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : He leads the Holy Dragon Alliance's defense forces.	(0:18:18.06)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : He's a big lance-user.	(0:18:21.18)
▶ Kirito : Oh, him.	(0:18:24.16)
▶ Yoruko : You know Schmidt?	(0:18:25.91)
▶ Kirito : I've only seen him a few times while clearing bosses.	(0:18:27.91)
▶ Yoruko : Could you let me talk to him?	(0:18:31.44)
▶ Yoruko : He probably hasn't heard about what occurred.	(0:18:34.45)
▶ Yoruko : And what happened to Kains could happen to him...	(0:18:38.24)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Let's call Schmidt-san.	(0:18:44.65)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : I know someone at the Holy Dragon Alliance.	(0:18:46.81)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : If we go to their HQ, perhaps we can talk to him.	(0:18:49.19)
▶ Kirito : Then first, we should get Yoruko-san to an inn.	(0:18:51.90)
▶ Kirito : Yoruko-san,	(0:18:55.62)
▶ Kirito : don't leave the inn until we return.	(0:18:56.78)
▶ Yoruko : All right.	(0:19:01.10)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : How do you think the murder was carried out?	(0:19:08.10)
▶ Kirito : I see basically three possibilities...	(0:19:12.38)
▶ Kirito : The first is a fair duel.	(0:19:14.57)
▶ Kirito : The second is through an exploit that combines known methods.	(0:19:17.98)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Yeah, I can see that.	(0:19:23.05)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : And the third?	(0:19:24.83)
▶ Kirito : Some skill we don't know about, which bypasses safe areas.	(0:19:26.86)
▶ Kirito : Or possibly an item.	(0:19:30.20)
▶ Kirito : No, the third is impossible.	(0:19:32.99)
▶ Asuna Yuuki : Why?	(0:19:36.31)
▶ Kirito : It's unfair.	(0:19:37.32)
▶ Kirito : I kind of hate to admit it,	(0:19:39.12)
▶ Kirito : but SAO's rules are essentially fair.	(0:19:41.53)
▶ Kirito : I can't imagine this game allowing murders in safe areas.	(0:19:45.53)
▶ Schmitt : Is it true that Kains was killed with Grimrock's weapon?	(0:19:59.96)
▶ Yoruko : It is.	(0:20:06.06)
▶ Schmitt : Why would Kains be killed after all this time?!	(0:20:08.42)
▶ Schmitt : He...	(0:20:10.97)
▶ Schmitt : Did he steal the ring?	(0:20:12.03)
▶ Schmitt : Was he the one who killed Griselda?	(0:20:14.27)
▶ Schmitt : Does Grimrock plan to kill the three of us	(0:20:18.11)
▶ Schmitt : who opposed selling the ring?	(0:20:20.53)
▶ Schmitt : Is he after you and me, too?!	(0:20:22.40)
