-Raker and Crow flew Lead out of Imperial Palace. After going through Suzaku so many time Crow decided if they don't beat Suzaku next time it'll have so much Hate it'll one-shot them
Now as it is all three of them were in the red zone when they got out, even with Edge supporting them with ranged attacks.
-Afterwards, Raker left and Niko & Pard arrived to visit. They told Haru to call KYH over, and told them both about merging legions. KYH was surprised, but not as much as Haru is, as she suspected Niko would do this when Niko says she wants to go to their school next year. KYH agreed, and we get a (sappy) scene where KYH and Niko shakes hands. Then after that they argue about Niko's continued rights to come to come to Haru's place
Further discussions between their legions will continue tomorrow.
-Then Haru told all 3 of them about what he heard from Edge. They point out a possible reason why Edge told Crow all this, as opposed to telling KYH and other Elements himself, was because Haru's easily awed and won't look too deeply. For example, when A was "defeated" did he just get logged out and was still out there, or was it like BB and his memories was erased? Or did A actually die in RL? Also, Edge never told them the specifics of the Being that's TFL.
KYH and others also suspect Edge told them all this is as a indirect way of advising KYH to stop going for Lv10. KYH is still going for it, along the lines of wanting to challenge the creator of that world. Niko says she'll help fight that creator as well.
-Edge confirmed as a Originator, if it hasn't been already. KYH and others also reason that everything he said isn't known to all Originators, otherwise given 100 players at the start the info would be more widespread.
-Taku met up with Haru after KYH and co left. They said they need to give a reply for the Student Council election.
-After that Haru went to sleep, and he 'dreamed' himself as being Crow at the Main Visualizer. If Highest Level is where you can see all breadth of Accel World, Main Visualizer is where you can see the truth/nature of that world. It turns out he's not quite there and this is a recreation of that scene, as Metatron in her 'human form' met him while his 'mental circuit' is resting. Metatron has been reinforcing her connection with Haru, with her end goal to be able to visit Haru in the lowest level / real world. (recap: Lowest Level = Real World, Middle Level = BB/VR, Highest Level to see all of middle level). Metatron also says she's wary of Edge, compared to her as one of the Four Saints he's more 'Something', what that something is Haru didn't hear.
Also, again we see Metatron usurping KYH's spot as main girl
There's probably more intimate scenes between them than KYH did with Haru the last 5 volumes combined
It's like Kawahara is doing his 'blonde new girl taking the main girl spot' all over again. Haru's more worried about Metatron meeting his mother than he did about KYH doing the same; when he first saw Metatron he tried to hug her, believing she recovered fully from sacrificing herself earlier - and while she rejected being embraced she didn't push him away
In the end Metatron dragged Haru to use her lap as a pillow.
