Kirito thinks about back then and how learned that he was not related with Suguha, which made him grow apart from his family and focus more on online gaming. But, after all the time in SAO , he decides to be closer with his cousin. So to explain things, Kirito asks Suguha to meet him in a place in ALfheim. As Leafa decides if she should stop seeing Kirito in-game anymore, she runs into Recon, whose attempt to confess and kiss her to her cheers her up. Leafa challenges Kirito to a duel, when they both end up throwing away their swords to make up with one another. Leafa then, agrees to help him in his quest with Recon. Kirito once again takes on the guardians, this time with help from Leafa and Recon. As the number of guardians keep increasing, Recon uses a black magic spell to create a gap for Kirito to get through, but is soon filled up again. Just as things look hopeless, Sakuya and Alicia arrive with their armies. Using Leafa's sword, Kirito manages to break through and reach the top, only to find a administrator-locked door in his way. Then, using the admin key card Asuna gave them, Yui opens the door, teleporting her and Kirito to a where Asuna is.
