The adventurers came to a restaurant to enjoy the complimentary meal thanks to Asuna and Matsubaki's confession of her spooning him while sleeping. They look at Jaynaki who's just eating the whole thing like if she's the world's famous competitive eater. "You really are hungry, are you, Jay?" Kirito asks. "Yeah. I am. I don't want to be a skeleton. I just hope I'm not like that IRL." Jaynaki said. "Good point." Matsubaki said. "So, Jaynaki, why'd you need to see Klein for?" Kirito asks. "Well I used to be in his guild, until he asks me to do these ridiculous tasks for him. He thinks I'm his personal assistant. I'm a person, not his carrier pigeon." They continue eating and now they embark on a quest to find Klein's guild.

The four find Klein and his guild. "Klein!" Kirito and Jaynaki shouted. "Kirito, Jaynaki, what's up?!" Klein said.  "How's it going?" Kirito asks. "Pretty good, man. How about you, Jaynaki?" "Good, I need to ask you something." Jaynaki said. "What's up?" She hands Klein a letter. "I officially resign from your guild effective immediately." Jaynaki states. "Where's this coming from, Jay?" Klein said. "And also, I think we should see other people." She said. "Jay, you can't be serious." "I am, Klein. I'm not your personal assistant. I'm a person too. But that doesn't mean we can't be friends." Klein takes a moment to process this. Whether he'll break down or just accept it and move it is what he's about to say. "Jaynaki, if that's what you want, then I won't stop you. And yes, if you still want to be friends, then I'll accept it." Klein said a bit down but with composure. "Thanks for understanding, Klein." Jaynaki said. A sudden scream interrupts their conversation. "Sounds like its coming from the city." Matsubaki said. "See you later Klein." They all shouted.

The four make it to the city and see a man lynched and stabbed up a building.

"Was he murdered?" Jaynaki said

"Was he murdered?" Jaynaki said. "Looks like it." Matsubaki said. "Asuna, try to look for any yellow or red icons on certain people. We'll look for clues on where the attacker may be." He states as Asuna nods. The three look inside as they connect the dots to see who's inside last. They look at a purple haired woman who's talking to Asuna. "Guys, get down here. We have someone!" Asuna shouts. "You got someone, Asuna?" Kirito asks. "Yeah, this is Yolko. She's the last person to see our victim alive." Asuna said. "Nice to meet you all." Yolko said while bowing.

Time skip to the last encounter between the four and Yolko because I've seen the conversation in the anime. It's also brought to you by Kirito joining the Occult Research Club

The four meet Yolko again as her dead victim, named Kains, was discussed about the essential argument between an item that's worth a lot. During the argument, Yolko was stopped as she was turned and stabbed with a mysterious dagger. "Yolko!" Matsubaki and Asuna shouts. She falls down and dies with the dagger dropping to the ground.
