He's going to punch twice again!
His ice breath is coming.
Three seconds...
Two...
One...
Zero!
Okay, let's go!
Excaliber
He's changing attack patterns!
Be careful!
This is bad, Brother...
There are only three lights left!
Can you use that skill whatsit thing?
He still has three HP bars.
My Skill Connect can't take him out.
Everyone, defensive positions!
No... The buffs!
Bro—
Everyone, run!
Sinon!
Buy us thirty seconds!
Swordsman,
you cannot defeat Thrym this way.
You have but one hope.
My family's treasure, which is hidden somewhere in this room.
Got it.
What kind of treasure is it?
It's a golden hammer, about this large.
A h-hammer?
Brother, use a lightning skill.
L-Lightning?
This is it?
Freyja-san, take it!
It's flowing...
It's overflowing.
Freyja-san!
It's overflowing.
It's overflowing...
Freyja-san?
It's a g-guy!
Thor?
The god of thunder?
Cowardly giant,
did you steal my treasure, Mjölnir?
You will suffer for that now!
Filthy god... You'll pay for tricking me.
I'll rip off that bearded face of yours, and send you back to Asgard!
While Thor has aggro, let's attack.
Yeah!
Everyone, attack as hard as you can!
Use all your Sword Skills!
Freyja-san!
Now!
Return to the depths of the earth, King of the Giants!
Be proud of your victory for now, flies.
But if you lower your guard around the gods of Asgard—
I thank you, fairy swordsmen.
Now I have avenged the theft of my treasure.
I must reward you.
The lightning hammer, Mjölnir!
Use it in righteous battles.
Then, farewell.
Congratulations on your legendary weapon.
I don't have a single point in hammer skills...
I-It's moving.
No... It's floating?
B-Brother,
it looks like the quest is continuing.
Fairies, infiltrate Thrymheim, and draw Excaliber from the keystone dais.
Look, the last light is still flashing.
Daddy!
A staircase down appeared behind the throne!
What?
Let's go.
System command!
Generate object ID Excaliber!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You can do it, Kirito-kun!
You're almost there!
Show us your guts!
You can do it, Daddy.
Kirito-san, you can do it!
Pull hard.
It's falling apart!
Thrymheim is falling apart!
Daddy, let's escape!
B-But how?
O-Okay...
Time for me to show you my Olympic-class high jump!
Klein-san, you dummy!
This is bad...
Leafa, how much time is left?
We made it!
Brother!
I'm so glad!
So am I.
Until I complete the quest, I guess I can't take ownership of it.
Do you hear something?
There it is again.
Tonkii!
We're saved!
Okay, let's switch over to Tonkii.
You first.
I know!
We're sure high up...
Hurry.
Tonkii, you saved me...
It's still too heavy for me.
Daddy?
Jeez, Cardinals are such a pain.
About two hundred meters?
Eck. Skete. Aftor. El.
That's going a little too far.
It's heavy.
Si-Si-Si...
Sinon-san, that was so cool!
You can have it.
You don't have to make that face.
Th-Thank you.
But before that, promise me something.
Each time you draw this sword,
remember me in your heart.
It's tough to be popular—
All right.
I'll remember you, and I'll thank you.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
That dungeon's going to disappear, just because we completed it once.
It's kind of a waste.
Look, trees are growing from the roots!
It's so warm.
He's happy.
I'm so glad.
Aren't you, Tonkii?
You've got lots of friends.
Over there... And over there.
So many of them.
You've done a wonderful job.
The sword that cuts through all trees and iron,
Excaliber, has been removed from its dais,
and Jötunheimr has returned to its proper form.
This is all thanks to you.
My sisters wish to thank you, as well.
My name is Verdandi. Thank you, fairy swordsmen.
I never thought I'd see a green Jötunheimr again.
It's like a dream.
My name is Skuld.
I thank you, warriors.
I offer you that blade.
All right!
Thank you, fairies.
Let us meet again.
And we're done.
S-Skuld-san!
Could I have your contact info?
Klein, I really respect you right now, from the bottom of my heart.
Well, Yui?
I can see you.
I can see and hear you, Daddy!
What is this?
I'm turning real-time footage of the Dicey Café into pseudo-3D.
Okay.
Try moving around slowly.
Okay!
Yui should feel like she's flying around the room.
I get it...
In other words, that camera and microphone
are acting as terminal sensory devices for her.
Brother's studying mecha... mechatro...
Mechatronics.
He's taking courses in that.
And he's making this as a class project,
but it's totally for Yui-chan, isn't it?
I'm going to keep making requests.
Reserved for Today
We're celebrating obtaining Holy Sword Excaliber
and Lightning Hammer Mjölnir.
Cheers to 2025!
Cheers!
But anyway, why "Excaliber"?
Why what?
When you see it in novels, isn't it usually "-calibur"?
"Excalibur."
Oh, so that's it.
You read books like that, Sinon-san?
When I was in middle school, I spent all my time in the library.
I read a bunch of books on the legends of King Arthur.
I think it was always "-calibur."
That's right.
In the original legend, there are lots of names for it, aren't there?
I think the spelling is different.
But the word for the diameter of a gun's barrel is "caliber."
And from that, it came to mean the size of a person's quality.
I'll remember that.
You probably won't see it on a test.
Which means that Excaliber's owner needs to be a man of ability...
R-Really? Is that it?
Sure, it is.
So, I heard that someone here
just made a ton of money off a short-term job...
O-Of course I was planning on paying for everything today.
Thank you!
Thank you, Kirito-kun!
That's so nice.
That's great.
