The chapter opens with a conversation between Asuna and Negri. Asuna tells Negri that he's going to have to pass through a "snowy mountain range" in order to get to the club meeting. She tells him that she's not going to be able to focus her energy on the task at hand, which is to keep the other club members from attacking her. She also tells him to chill out a bit more, since he'll be putting his life in danger if he doesn't chill out. Negri tells him not to worry, as he and Asuna have already done their training. He tells Asuna that she should chill out more, because it's hard for her to keep up with the other girls. He also tells her not to try to cheer her up, because she'll kill herself if she does. He says that this is the end of their training, and that he won't be around for another week.
