On October 24th of 2024; the newly married couple Kirito and Asuna were meeting with their guild leader: Heathcliff at the KoB base to ask for some time off to recover from the ordeal involving with Kuradeel, as well as due to distrust of their guild. Heathcliff allow them with the expectation that they will return later to help clear the game. The next following day, Kirito and Asuna starts their honeymoon in their own house on the Village of «Coral» in the 22nd floor; a floor where no monsters roam about. Kirito ask Asuna if their relation will continue in the real world. In response to this question, Asuna tell Kirito that her feelings for him are real and when they return, she will find him and fall in love with him once again.

After a few days later, Kirito decides to take Asuna to the woods to play. Along the way Asuna makes Kirito carry her on his shoulders, despite Kirito’s futile protest. When they were seen by other players, Kirito gets embarrass and ran away as quickly as he can with Asuna still on his shoulders. Afterwards Kirito starts telling Asuna about the rumors he heard about of a wandering ghost of a player roaming around in the forest. While Kirito tell the story, Asuna gets speechless as she witness a white child figure walking in the woods. After Asuna alert Kirito about the child presence, the child suddenly collapses in front of them. Kirito approaches and notices that it's a little girl which fell unconscious. After deciding to bring her back to their home to rest, they both find it strange that the child does not have any visible cursor of any kind.

The next day, the girl wakes up and they learn that her name is Yui, however Yui does not seem to remember anything else, neither what she was doing in the forest nor where her parents is. Both Kirito and Asuna try to introduce themselves to Yui and are taking care not to upset her. However Yui seem to have difficulty pronouncing their name, so Kirito ask Yui what she rather call them. After a few moments thinking, Yui starts stating Kirito as ‘papa’ and Asuna as ‘mama’. Once Yui fell asleep after having lunch, Asuna talk with Kirito about what their next action should be. From the looks of Yui current clothing, Kirito and Asuna considers checking the 1st floor. So they agree that when Yui wakes up, they will try visiting the «Town of Beginnings» for any sign of Yui’s family or guardian.

At October 31th; Kirito carry Yui on his back and went with Asuna to the 1st floor. When they arrive on the teleport platform at the «Town of Beginnings», Yui replies that she doesn’t recognize anything when Kirito ask her. So they proceed to the market area, they notice that there're almost no players in the streets and while wondering why, they hear some screams and hurry to investigate. When they arrive at the scene, they witness a bespectacled female player name «Sasha» trying to save the children who were being harassed by the «Army» players. They were arguing about some unpaid taxes, and the «Army» members were demanding Sasha and the children to strip off their clothing and leave all their equipment as payment. Kirito and Asuna jump into the action to help. While leaving Kirito to take care of Yui, Asuna punishes the group leader of the «Army» players; no harm can be done to the players as they were in the city boundary, and Asuna was making full use of the emitting blow back effect of her sword skills. After driving off the opposing players, the children gathers around Asuna to thank her.

Suddenly, Yui starts muttering about some things that she remembers; stating that she didn’t came from the 1st floor but from a much darker place. Yui starts panicking and a huge static screeches the air. After Yui cries out, she fall from Kirito’s back and Asuna quickly catches her before she land. Yui soon went unconscious, leaving Kirito and Asuna to only wonder amongst themselves.
