Sugu was confused of why her brother wanted her to go to SAO. It felt kind of weird for her, and this was really the world he has known his whole life, and that Erika knew as well. 

"Why would he want to bring me here, in the virtual world, what's his plan?" She wonders in his mind. 

Although, Kazuto did promised it would be a surprise, so he didn't bother to tell her anything. 

She flew through the sky, where she looked for him, as she notices the spriggian right away. 

"Kirito!" She waved, as she landed, he wasn't alone. It was Erika who was right by his side, and in front of them was a cottage . 

"Welcome to Aincrad Floor 22. I wanted to come back here along with Kirito." Erika beamed looking at the house. 

"Why you bring me here?" Leafa asked, as that the couple smiled. "Listen, I know you have some PSTD with me being trapped again. It's really noticeable and I'm worried about you." Kirito replied. 

Erika lures her friend inside the cabin house, which Leafa more curious than ever. "So... this house is yours?"

"Yep. We bought in Aincrad after Kirito and I decided to married in game. It was pretty good to live with Yui as well. " Erika explains. 

The black teen just remain reicient looking at the view of landscape as it brought him so many memories that he had spent in the floor. 

He thought in his mind, "I really didn't believe that I would eventually come back here after everything had happened to me. 

Although, it appears that maybe this is probably better with Leafa being aware she's not the only person who had some problems from the SAO treatment ." 

In the real world, Klein was in the cafe waiting for someone. As then, the bell rang open, thus it was Aiko. 

"Hey, Klein." She said, as she sat next to him. Thanks to Kazuto to introducing him to her, they apparently see each other often as much they could . 

"So, how you feel with knowing about Kirito and Erika? Does it feel strange to you?" He asked her as she sighed. 

"I still couldn't believe that he was trapped in a virtual world like AFO. It's kind of creepy once you think about it actually. " 

Klein remains silent, as that she realized that she had hit a personal spot. "Oh, right. You and the others basically were trapped in SAO in two years. Sorry about that." 

"No, it's fine. It is not a total lie, I mean, it's not like anyone would ever believe any of us if we told that we basically lived in a virtual world instead of the real world for that matter." He reassures her. 

"Good. Speaking of which, where are they? Did something happen?" She asked, but then they noticed Agil, who was listening to their conversation. 

"Apparently, Erica and Kirito went back to Aincrad Floor 22. I bet that they were taking Leafa to see their life in SAO." 

"Floor 22? What type of floor is in SAO?" Akio asks. 

"It's a special floor that is really important to the both of them. I guess that is kind of expected of Kirito would do. " Klein explains to her. 

"I wonder how their talk went. I'm very curious, but I didn't want to be a bother." Akio said, felt jealous of Leafa getting more information about SAO. 

In the virtual world, Leafa still looks at the wide view of the cottage. It seems like a dream, and it would sense how much the floor meant to her brother and lover. 

Erika sees how the tension was, as she asked, "Are you ok? " 

" Asuna, honestly, I don't know. It's just i'm afraid of loosing my brother again to the virtual game like AFO. It's very hard for me of not being normal teen again." 

"I know it's not going to be a easy step, Leafa, I really do . I'm so sorry that I wasn't really being the brother you expected." A voice replied as they turned to see the spriggan seems to be sadden of how she was truly feeling. 

He approached her and went to embraced her. She held him close as he said, "Leafa, there is never in my mind I wouldn't think about you or Erika. 

Erika risked everything to get me out, and I am really grateful to have a strong-willed sister to help her of rescuing me, even though it was completely out of her league. 

I promise you something right now. From now on, i'll tell you I'll be visiting the virtual world again. 

I might lead into trouble someday, and I need you and Erika's support in anyway you can. Can you lend me your strength, Leafa." 

She seems silent, as she backs off from her brother, and logs out from the floor. 

"Was that speech too much?" Kirito asked, as that Erika smiled, "I think that she needs some time alone. 

Kirito, i know that our future is uncertain right now, I wished that you weren't held captive from me. 

I should've known that it was a trap from the beginning. I feel stupid and reckless-" 

Kirito smiled at her and kissed her. "I'm not blaming you . I know it's a hard thing to adjust, for all of us. 

Like you said, it would take one step at a time for us to figure things out. I'm quite sure that things would work out. " 

As the couple went into the cottage, the only thing that Kazuto thought was, "I really hope that Leafa understands how I felt, and her nightmares are nothing but a terrible memory. "
