Ep. 6: Kirito uncovers the truth behind the apparent deaths of Kains and Yolko in the safe zone.
Kirito and Asuna investigate the murders of Kains and Yolko, former members of the disbanded guild Golden Apple. Kirito questions how victims can die in a safe zone. Schmit, another ex-member, blames the ghost of their late leader Griselda. After observing a sandwich disappear, Kirito deduces the method behind the deaths. He reveals that Yolko and Kains faked their demise using a teleport crystal when their armor durability failed. The pair then confront Schmit at Griselda’s grave to find her killer. Schmit claims he only followed orders and did not anticipate Griselda’s death. Suddenly, members of the notorious crime guild Laughing Coffin surround them, intending to kill the trio. Kirito arrives just in time, intimidating the attackers into retreating and saving his friends.
