Kirito and Asuna flee from the boss room and takes a lunch break when they meet Klein and the Furinkazan guild. The Aincrad Liberation Force guild, known also as "The Army" also appears; visibly exhausted from exploring the floor. As the soldiers rest, their leader Corbatz demands Kirito to give them the map he made of the floor, and despite Asuna and Klein's protests he willingly complies with their request. Kirito, Asuna, Klein and his guild decide to follow them just to learn that the Army is confronting Gleam Eyes by themselves, despite Kirito's warnings.
