Asuna sensed something flash by her mind, and as she spoke, she suddenly stopped. “Alice...? Did Kirito-kun say anything about Alice when he exited the shop?” “Eh?” Sinon and Lyfa, who had been keeping quiet, widened their eyes. “Does onii-chan have something to do with Alice in Wonderland?” “No, that’s not it... At the RATH research facility, isn’t Alice some sort of shortened form or something... Well, it’s common, right? Take out the first letters of each related term and combine them to form another meaning...” “That’s the so-called ‘Acronym’ right? The departments related to the American government often do that to make it easier to read.” Sinon chimed in with extra tidbits of information, and Lyfa shook her ponytail as she said, “In other words... If we combine the 5 letters, we’ll get A, L, I, C, E... like that?” “Yeah, that’s it. Yes, Kirito-kun did mention...” She gathered her concentration with all her strength, and deep within her ears, Kirito’s ever-familiar voice rang. She cautiously described, “...Aateifisharu...Reibiru...Interijen... I can’t recall what C and E were for, but I think that’s what A, L and I stand for.” Asuna finally articulated as she felt her head ache slightly, perhaps because she also squeezed out the substance of her memories.
