Ep. 11: Kirito and Asuna adopt glitching girl Yui during their vacation on the 22nd floor
Aired on September 16, 2012
Following their in-game marriage and a temporary leave from Asuna's guild, Kirito and Asuna vacation at their new home in a village on the 22nd floor. While exploring the forest, they discover an unconscious girl who lacks a player cursor, indicating a software glitch. After bringing her home, she wakes up the next day and recalls only her name, Yui. She affectionately addresses the couple as Mama and Papa, a title they happily accept. Seeking answers, the trio travels to the Town of Beginnings but encounters Sasha and her charges being extorted for taxes by the Holy Dragon Army. Asuna intervenes, driving the soldiers away. However, Yui suddenly panics, triggering another glitch-like event before collapsing unconscious once again.
