Part 1
The story continues immediately after the events of 16.7 with Kirito thinking about the accuracy of the five senses in Aincrad, before entering the bath where Asuna was waiting. Asuna had acquired a rare herb earlier that, along with giving a 3-hour poison immunity buff, made the bath feel like a hot spring. They then discussed how their bath felt much more realistic than any other bath they had taken in Aincrad. Deep in thought, after multiple theories had been debunked by Asuna, Kirito stretched his legs, accidentally brushing something soft, which he later finds out was Asuna's leg. Intrigued, Kirito continued rubbing it with his feet and eventually reached for it with his right hand.
