Kirito and Asuna have an online marriage, in which they are granted a temporary leave from the Knights of the Blood Oath to go on a honeymoon at a village in a log cabin on the 22nd Floor. As they venture deep inside a nearby forest, they find a lost girl who suddenly collapses, discovering that there may be a possible glitch since she does not have a cursor above her, so they end up taking her back to their log cabin for the night. The next day, the girl wakes up and remembers her name as Yui, and she decides to refer to Kirito and Asuna as her parents. The three of them go to the 1st Floor to find out if anyone is searching for Yui. They encounter the Aincrad Liberation Force extorting taxes from a daycare owner named Sasha and three of the children in her care. Asuna instills fear on the Aincrad Liberation Force with the use of her sword, causing them to retreat. Yui soon starts to panic and momentarily glitches before being rendered unconscious again.
