Five years after the world had become a game, Kirito and the others had reached the 290th floor.
"I can't believe five years have already passed," said Kirito as they eat around a campfire.
"I've been starting to wonder what life will be like once this world is back to normal," said Klein as he looked at the stars.
"Makes me wonder what we should do, I mean we're out of high school now," said Silica as she looked at Kirito, Asuna, and Leafa.
"What kind of jobs can we get, none of us have highschool diplomas," said Lisbeth.
"And I won't be here anymore," said Yui as she started to cry.
"I promise you Yui, I will find a way to keep you here after we fix the world," said Kirito.
"Papa!" said Yui as she hugged his face. Suddenly, they heard the crunching of leaves from nearby.
"Is it a monster?" asked Sinon as they readied for battle. A man with brown hair and eyes wearing white armor then came out of the forest.
"Finally, I found someone," said the man as the flame from the fire made shadows dance on his face.
"Wait, is that you, Kouichirou?" asked Asuna.
"Asuna, it's been a while, little sister," said Kouichirou with a smile as he got closer to them.
"So, you're the older brother Asuna told me about," said Kirito as he put his sword away.
"And you must be Kirito, my little sister's in-game husband and real life boyfriend," said Kouichirou.
"Did mama mention me?" asked Yui as she flew over to him.
"She did, you're their in-game daughter, and it's nice to meet you," said Kouichirou as he patted her head with one finer since she was so small.
"So, why are you so far away from home?" asked Asuna.
"After the world changed I wanted to make sure you were alright," said Kouichirou as he looked at her.
"Thanks for worrying about me, Kouichirou, but I'm fine," said Asuan as she hugged him.
"I can see that now, but I would like to see how strong you are Kirito," said Kouichirou.
"How about in the morning, it's getting late," said Kirito. Kouichirou agreed and they all went to bed for the night.
