Kirito makes an excuse, that he got lost, which lead to Lyfa's laughter. They introduce each other, Lyfa ask what Kirito was doing and wonder if she could buy him a drink as a thank you. Kirito tells her that he was looking for someone to tell him about World Tree. Lyfa offer to give the details but also wanted to fly to a neutral village by flying. But Kirito ask why can they go to Sylvain instead. Lyfa explains that it is Sylph territory due to this fact, he can't attack Syphs but the Syphs can attack him. But this didn't bother Kirito and still insist to go. Lyfa accepts his request but warns him that he might not survive.

Kirito notice Lyfa doesn't need an assist controller, Lyfa tells him that there is a trick, and explain how to fly without the controller. Kirito begins to fly really high up, which made Lyfa worried but saw that Kirito was flying but didn't know how to stop, making Yui and Lyfa laugh.
