Spoiler for Check 1, 2, go:
Upon looking up, the silvery white full moon that was divided into 4 by the cross-shaped window frame could be seen.
In the southwest side of ALFheim, the streets of the capital city Sylain in the land of the Sylphs was covered by the thick night screen.
Most of the shops had their sturdy metal shutters pulled down and few players moved around the main streets. That was because the time was 4am, and this was the time the least number of people would be connected.
Asuna turned her eyes from the window to the table and picked up the still steaming cup. She brought the thickly-colored tea to her lips and the imaginary heat agitated her tongue. She did not feel sleepy, but her brain was slightly fuzzy as she practically had not slept for the past 3 days.
She closed her eyes and used her fingers to tap her temple slightly. The other Sylph girl who saw this asked worriedly,
“Are you alright, Asuna-san? You almost never slept.”
“Uun, I’m fine here. You too, Lyfa. It must be tiring for you to walk around everywhere, right?”
“My body in reality is resting properly on the bed, so I’m alright.”
They said that they were fine to each other in unison, but realized that both of them did not sound very energetic at all and gave wry smiles.
This place was the player home of Lyfa, the avatar of Kirigaya Suguha in ALFheim Online. The walls surrounding the round room had glossy shell-like things on it, and there were white table and chairs as well. The color looked a little delicate as the place engulfed the trio.
“If you force yourself too much, your minds won’t be able to work well during crucial moments. Even if you can’t sleep, it makes a whole world of difference to close your eyes.”
The owner of the calm voice was Asada Shino in the Cath Sith avatar who had been diving for half a year. The character name was the same as the user Sinon from Gun Gale Online. Asuna looked over and nodded.
“Un…the meeting ended, so please allow me to use the bed here. Really, if only hypnosis spells are effective on players.”
“I think you can sleep well if onii-chan sleeps on that rocking chair there…”
Lyfa nagged what Asuna and Sinon were muttering vaguely, but they did not have the strength to smile.
Lyfa placed the cup she was holding with both hands back on the table, took a very deep breath, and showed a change in expression.
“Then…we’ll talk about the information we managed to investigate today, no, from yesterday onwards. In conclusion, we can’t find any specific evidence that onii-chan was taken to the Tokorozawa National Defense Medical College Hospital. The data showed that he was definitely transferred to the Neurosurgical department on the 23th floor, but they denied all access, and all the wards at that level can’t be accessed. There was no signs of the emergency ambulance reaching at the supposed times. Yui could check it out as she hacked into the surveillance cameras to investigate.”
“In other words…there’s a high chance that Kirito may not be in the Defense Medical Hospital…something like that?”
Lyfa nodded, agreeing with what Sinon said.
“It’s really hard to believe…but I’m rather surprised that even family members can’t meet him.”
In such a situation, they could only shake their heads to replace words. At that moment, the room descended into deep silence.

Man, don't sweat it.
1) I can't imagine that translating is easy or fast, independently of the language. let's add to that the fact that just reading japanese is by itself hard, and people still need a dictionary.
2) I think we prefer a good translation over s fast but sloppy translation.
So, i can only close this "speech" by thanking you for translating volume 10, and all previous translations.
