That should do it.
Thank you, Liz.
You're welcome!
Aren't you going to join your guild at the front lines?
I'm taking the day off.
I'm seeing someone today.
Oh, I get it.
G-Get what?
I have to get going!
Looks like you've found something important to you.
Did you say something?
Oh, it's nothing.
Good luck with him!
Geez, it's not what you think!
See you later!

I wonder if I'll find something like that too.
Warmth of the Heart
So-so... I guess.
Taking care of customers is part of the job!
Okay!
Welcome to Lizbeth's Smith Shop!
Um...
I'd like to get a custom-made weapon.
Will he be able to pay?
The prices of metals have risen as of late...
Don't worry about the cost.
I just need you to forge the best sword you can make.
Yeah, well...
I need you to give me an idea of the stat range you're looking for.
Oh, I see.
How about making a sword just as good or more powerful than this one?
Okay...
The Elucidator?
This magical sword is a beast among monster drops.
Can you do it?
How about this?
It's my finest masterpiece.
It feels kind of light.
The metal I used is suited for speed.
Can I test it out?
Test?
To see how it'll hold up.
W... Wait!
You'll break your sword if you do that!
I'll deal with it when that happens!
There's no fixing this...
What the hell was that for?!
Sorry!
I didn't think it'd be your sword that'd break!
So you're saying my sword is weaker than you'd thought?!
Well... yeah.
Just so you know, as long as I have the right materials,
I can make a whole bunch of swords that would split yours like firewood!
Oh?
Then by all means, make me a sword that'll split mine like firewood.
I-If that's how it's gonna be, then you're coming along for the whole ride!
The whole ride?
Yes, you're coming with me to collect the metal.
I can just get it myself.
It'd be bad if you got in my way or something.
Don't you make fun of me.
I'm a master macer, even if I don't look the part.
Oh?
So where can we find the metal?
There's a crystal-eating dragon at the western mountain on the 55th Floor.
It's said that the dragon stores the rare metal inside its body.
The 55th Floor?
I'd better go alo—
It's also said that you need a master blacksmith with you to get the metal.
So are you still going alone?
Just make sure you stay out of the way.
Why you...
I'm Kirito.
I guess we're partners until you forge my sword.
Fine then, Kirito!
So we're already on a first-name basis?
Not that I mind, though.
Lizbeth.
55th Floor • Western Mountain
It's cold.
Don't you have any extra clothing?
I didn't know the 55th Floor would be an icy zone!
Will you be all right?
Only because I'm built for this.
Geez, he keeps pissing me off!
It's so warm...
It's weird how I'm all alone with this guy on a trip.
What's the matter, Lizbeth?
Can't stand it anymore?
I can still go on!
Besides, if you're going to act casual with me, then just call me Liz.
Fine, you got it, Liz.
Don't get fresh with me!
It's so pretty!
What was that for?!
Ready your teleport crystal.
Fine, geez.
Also, I'll handle this alone.
If the dragon appears, make sure you hide behind some crystals.
Don't you dare show your face.
What the heck?
I'm not some rank amateur. Let me help!
No!
Good.
All right, let's go.
Get behind those crystals!
Okay!
It's ice breath! Run for it!
Wow...
And with such a thin sword...
Just who is he?
Come on, just finish it off already!
You idiot! Don't come out yet!
Why? It's over already—
Liz!
N-No! No!
Liz, grab on!
We're alive.
Yeah, we are.
Drink that for now.
Okay.
Um, thanks for saving me.
Don't thank me just yet.
How are we gonna get out of here?
Huh?
Can't we just teleport?
Teleport! Lindars!
No way...
There should be another way out if we can't use our crystals.
But we don't know that for sure!
This could be a trap that kills everybody who falls in!
Yeah, you could be right.
Come on, try being a little more positive!
I have an idea.
Really?
Yeah.
Running up the wall.
Are you stupid?
Stupid or not, I'm trying it out.
You're kidding me.
I just needed a longer running start.
It wouldn't have worked anyway.
This feels kind of strange.
If this was the real world,
I'd never sleep next to a guy I'd just met in a place I've never been to before.
And the guy runs up walls!
I swear, you're weird!
Well, excuse me.
Hey, Kirito.
Can I ask you something?
What is it this time?
Why did you save me back there?
I'd much rather die with someone than watch them die.
That goes double for a girl like you, Liz.
You really are stupid.
Nobody else thinks like that.
Hey.
Hold my hand.
Okay.
It's warm.
Yeah.
We're both just data in a virtual world, yet...
Liz?
Huh?
What are you doing?
Oh, look.
Crystallite Ingot
Could this really be...
Yeah. It's the metal we came for.
The dragon eats the crystals, which get refined in its belly.
No wonder no one can find it.
All right!
But why is it here?
This pit isn't a trap.
It's the dragon's lair.
H-Huh?
In other words, that ingot is dragon excrement.
It's poop.
At any rate, I guess we've accomplished our objective.
All we need to do is...
You just said this is the dragon's lair, right?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure the dragon is nocturnal, so it's about time it...
Here it comes!
H-Hey! What are you—?!
Liz, hang on!
We're almost out!
Wow!
Kirito!
You know what?
What?
I love you, Kirito!
What was that?
I can't hear you!
Don't worry about it!
June 25, 2024 48th Floor • Lindars
A one-handed straight sword, right?
Yes, please.
Both the warmth of Kirito's hand and my feelings...
They're completely real.
Once I've forged a sword to his liking, I'll tell him how I feel.
Its name is Dark Repulser.
I've never heard of the name before, so I don't think it's in any directory right now.
Try it out.
Okay.
W-Well?
It's pretty heavy.
It's a great sword.
Great!
I could feel the heart and soul that went into it.
Well, now that you've fulfilled my order, how much money do I owe you?
Uh...
I don't... want your money.
Instead, I'd like to be your exclusive blacksmith.
What do you mean?
Liz?
Whenever you return from the field, come here and let me take care of your equipment.
Every day from now on!
Liz?
Kirito...
I...
Liz, I was so worried!
A-Asuna?
Liz!
My messages weren't reaching you, and I couldn't find you on the map!
Where were you last night?
Sorry, I was stuck in a dungeon.
Dungeon? Did you go alone?
No, I was with him.
K-Kirito-kun?!
Hey, Asuna.
It's been... not that long, actually.
About two days?
I was so surprised!
I see, so you came here right away.
I would've come with you if you'd told me!
Do you two know each other?
Yeah, we're both front-liners.
He said he wanted a powerful sword, so I told him about your shop.
I see now.
I hope you didn't do anything weird to my best friend.
O-Of course I wouldn't!
You just hesitated! How suspicious!
I almost got killed out there! At least try to sympathize!
I told you a million times not to solo everything all the time.
I see. I get it now.
Did he say anything rude to you, Liz?
Liz?
Rude?
He came in and broke the best sword I had in my shop!
I-I'm sorry!
You don't have to apologize.
He may be weird, but he's a good guy.
I'm rooting for you, so go for it, Asuna.
It's not like that!
Liz?
Sorry, I just remembered I need to go stock up on stuff!

What about your shop?
You two can keep watch!
Huh?
Liz, wait!
Lizbeth.
You shouldn't have come.
I was almost back to being the cheerful Lizbeth that you know.
Liz...
How did you know I was here?
I searched the whole town from up there.
It's just like you to be that crazy.
Sorry.
I'll be all right.
I think my heart just wasn't ready for the adventure I had.
So...
Forget...
...everything I said.
I want to thank you, Liz.
Huh?
I had always believed that dying together was better than being the lone survivor.
I really did think that.
Kirito...
But when we fell into that pit, I was glad we both survived.
I realized that I live for the sake of living, like everyone else.
So... thank you, Liz.
I...
I've always been looking for something myself.
For something real in this world.
To me...
...the warmth of your hand was very real.
Be sure to tell Asuna what you just told me.
Liz...
I'll be fine!
This warmth will stay with me a little longer.
So, please...
Put an end to this world, Kirito.
Until that happens, I'll hang in there.
I promise you I'll clear this game.
Feel free to come anytime you need someone to fix your weapons and armor.
Sure.
I hope to see you again at Lizbeth's Smith Shop!
