**[00:00] Shirasagi**
Fire, and you might learn
what you want to know.
**[00:15] Shirasagi**
Well? Did I pass?
**[00:19] Akira**
I'm sorry.
**[00:20] Akira**
It was the best I could
think of on the spot.
**[00:23] Akira**
I'll definitely be staying, Leader.
**[00:28] Yuuri**
What was that all about?!
**[00:31] Shirasagi**
I suspect he just wanted to know
**[00:34] Shirasagi**
if we stood a chance against
Team Red under my leadership.
**[00:38] Shirasagi**
My ability can even block a cannon.
**[00:41] Shirasagi**
That's why I urged him to try it.
**[00:46] Akira**
*Yeah, right...*
**[00:47] Akira**
*You didn't even believe I had the cannon.*
**[00:50] Akira**
*Our leader's a crafty man.*
**[00:53] Shirasagi**
Come in.
**[00:55] Momoko**
So sorry to disturb you, Yuuto...
**[00:58] Shirasagi**
What is it, Momoko?
**[01:00] Momoko**
This latest influx appears rather large.
**[01:02] Momoko**
The people just keep pouring in.
**[01:04] Shirasagi**
A whole band of new recruits...
**[01:07] Shirasagi**
They could break us out of our stalemate.
**[01:09] Katsuya**
But we won't have enough rooms.
**[01:12] Momoko**
Yes indeed.
**[01:13] Akira**
You can put Yuuri and me in
the same room if you want.

**[02:52] Yuuri**
There was a romance series I used
to read at a friend's house.
**[02:59] Yuuri**
*I really wanted to be in a story like that.*
**[03:02] Yuuri**
* I'd read it, my heart pounding, wondering,*
* "Could the same thing happen to me some day?"*
**[03:11] Yuuri**
I'm staying here with Akira?
**[03:20] Yuuri**
*Isn't this...*
***SIGN*** Ominous
**[03:24] Akira**
What's wrong, Yuuri?
**[03:25] Yuuri**
I d-didn't find anything!
**[03:35] Yuuri**
*Wait, I haven't had a bath!*
**[03:38] Yuuri**
*No, forget that!*
**[03:39] Yuuri**
*This freaking thing in my pocket...*
**[03:40] Akira**
Thanks a lot.
**[03:42] Akira**
I'm sorry to make you share a room with me.
**[03:45] Akira**
But I really wanted to be alone with you.
**[03:48] Akira**
There's something I really need to tell you.
**[03:53] Yuuri**
*Wh-What do I do? What do I say?*
**[03:55] Yuuri**
*And how do I even feel about him?!*
**[03:58] Akira**
What I've written here
is very important to me.
**[04:01] Akira**
Would you please read it?
**[04:03] Yuuri**
Here? Now?
**[04:06] Akira**
Yes.
***SIGN*** My real ability is telepathy
**[04:14] Yuuri**
Huh?
**[04:16] Yuuri**
Wh-What the heck are you—
**[04:19] Akira**
Don't say anything. Just trust me.
**[04:21] Akira**
Believe that you and I can be of one mind.
**[04:26] Yuuri**
*This isn't about romance at all!*
**[04:29] Yuuri**
*Why did I have to get ahead of myself?!*
**[04:31] Yuuri**
*You're so stupid!*
**[04:33] Yuuri**
*Stupid, stupid, stupid!*
**[04:35] Akira**
Yuuri!
**[04:36] Akira**
Yuuri...
**[04:37] Akira**
Close your eyes, focus, and imagine.
**[04:40] Akira**
Imagine that my feelings will reach you.
**[04:43] Yuuri**
*Reach me? Yeah right!*
**[04:45] Yuuri**
*What the heck is Akira even thinking?*
**[04:49] Yuuri**
* But if two people really could be*
* of one mind, like telepathy...*
**[04:56] Yuuri**
* If you really could read someone's*
* most hidden feelings...*
**[05:02] Yuuri**
*I want to believe.*
**[05:05] Akira**
*Yuuri. Yuuri...*
**[05:08] Akira**
*If you can hear me, give me a sign.*
**[05:12] Akira**
You heard me, Yuuri!
**[05:14] Yuuri**
What's going on? My head...
**[05:16] Akira**
Okay, now try me.
**[05:18] Akira**
Try to speak into my mind.
**[05:20] Akira**
Believe that your words will reach me!
**[05:24] Yuuri**
Really?
**[05:28] Yuuri**
*Akira? Akira?*
**[05:30] Akira**
*You did it!*
**[05:31] Akira**
*Yuuri, we're connected!*
**[05:33] Yuuri**
*What the—*
**[05:34] Akira**
* From here on out,*
* let's only talk in our minds.*
**[05:37] Akira**
*Please!*
**[05:39] Akira**
*This is my real ability.*
**[05:41] Akira**
*But I don't want you to say it aloud.*
**[05:44] Akira**
*The room might be monitored.*
**[05:47] Yuuri**
*M-Monitored?*
**[05:49] Yuuri**
*Who would be doing that?*
**[05:50] Akira**
*Our leader, of course.*
**[05:52] Yuuri**
*So you don't trust him?*
**[05:54] Akira**
*No, I expect that because I* do *trust him.*
**[05:57] Akira**
*He's someone worth counting on.*
**[05:59] Akira**
* Keeping this place safe means that*
* he has to question everything.*
**[06:02] Akira**
* He'll be keeping a close watch on*
* us until he knows he can trust us.*
**[06:06] Akira**
* On top of that, you and*
* I have strong abilities.*
**[06:09] Akira**
*It's only natural that they'd monitor us.*
**[06:12] Akira**
*We've agreed to work together.*
**[06:15] Akira**
*And I'll explain about my power later, too.*
**[06:18] Akira**
* In the meantime, feel free*
* to ask me anything you want.*
**[06:20] Akira**
*In exchange, I want to learn more about you.*
**[06:27] Akira**
*I see...*
**[06:28] Akira**
* So you also have to get back*
* to help this Riria girl?*
**[06:32] Yuuri**
*Yeah.*
**[06:33] Yuuri**
* I think we've been declared*
* dead on the outside,*
**[06:37] Yuuri**
*which is probably really painful for her.*
**[06:40] Yuuri**
*And Mom...*
**[06:43] Yuuri**
*What will your parents think, Akira?*
**[06:45] Akira**
*Not sure.*
**[06:46] Akira**
*I only have my father,*
**[06:48] Akira**
* but I doubt my disappearance*
* will bother him much.*
**[06:51] Yuuri**
*That can't be true!*
**[06:53] Yuuri**
* I'm sure they'll be happy*
* to see us come home.*
**[06:55] Yuuri**
*Your dad... and my mom.*
**[06:59] Akira**
*It's fine.*
**[07:00] Akira**
* My objective isn't to return home,*
* but to beat the game.*
**[07:03] Akira**
* Then I can have a rematch*
* with that Mion woman.*
**[07:07] Akira**
* I'll make her regret giving*
* me this ability then.*
**[07:12] Akira**
*Let's shake, Yuuri.*
**[07:14] Yuuri**
*How come?*
**[07:17] Akira**
* You've assured me that*
* I really can trust you.*
**[07:21] Akira**
*I promise that you will make it home.*
**[07:27] Akira**
*I want you to trust me, too.*
**[07:29] Akira**
*Will you keep my ability a secret?*
**[07:32] Yuuri**
*I will.*
**[07:39] Akira**
* My real ability is neither*
* the cannon nor telepathy.*
**[07:45] Akira**
*It's whatever the other person thinks it is.*
**[07:49] Yuuri**
*What in the world?*
**[07:57] Mion**
*Hey-ho!*
**[07:58] Mion**
* Watch closely, good kids!*
* And bad ones, too.*
**[08:01] Mion**
* Your sweet li'l Mion has*
* a quest for you all!*
**[08:05] Mion**
* This here's what we call*
* an ultra big chance!*
**[08:07] Mion**
* It's a massive kill quest:*
* "The Hunt is On! Goo-Goo Ghouls!"*
**[08:13] Mion**
*The game begins tomorrow at 9:00 AM.*
**[08:15] Mion**
*The location is the ruins in Block D.*
**[08:17] Mion**
*Better get to sleep early to prepare!*
**[08:20] Mion**
*See you then!*
**[08:24] Yuuri**
A quest?
**[08:25] Yuuri**
Is this what our leader was talking about?
**[08:34] Kuroiwa**
We'll dispose of the slaves tomorrow.
**[08:36] Oogami**
Yeah, they're so annoying.
**[08:40] Kuroiwa**
A huge influx of people,
a large-scale quest...
**[08:43] Kuroiwa**
What is Mion thinking?
**[08:49] Shirasagi**
This is one of Mion's quests.
**[08:52] Shirasagi**
We can expect to earn a greater
amount of points than usual.
**[08:56] Shirasagi**
I want everyone with appropriate
abilities to participate.
**[08:59] Shirasagi**
I've organized you into
teams based on your roles.
**[09:02] Shirasagi**
I want you all to listen to
your leaders and avoid risk.
**[09:06] Shirasagi**
Akira and Yuuri, you said you wanted
to be together on missions.
**[09:11] Shirasagi**
For your first go-round, I'd like you
to serve as a two-man flying column.
**[09:16] Shirasagi**
Your abilities will be best
used traveling light.
**[09:18] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[09:21] Kirisaki**
You stayin' in?
**[09:23] Iori**
Those who want to go have gone.
**[09:25] Iori**
You want in on it, too?
**[09:27] Kirisaki**
Nah. That ain't what I'm after anyway.
**[09:31] Makuri**
But didn't you say you were
almost out of points, Leader?
**[09:35] Iori**
Oh... right.
**[09:39] Iori**
I really did not wanna go out today...
**[09:49] Yuuri**
*Hey, about last night...*
**[09:51] Yuuri**
*That weird ability of yours...*
**[09:53] Yuuri**
* You can use any ability*
* I think you can use, right?*
**[09:58] Akira**
*Yes.*
**[09:58] Akira**
* You haven't forgotten our*
* agreement from last night?*
**[10:01] Yuuri**
*I hope I can do it, but...*
**[10:04] Akira**
*I'm counting on you, Yuuri.*
**[10:07] Akira**
* When I heard that you could use the*
* interface to look up information,*
**[10:10] Akira**
* the first thing I tried was*
* information about abilities.*
***SIGN*** Information
**[10:14] Akira**
* But I couldn't get any information*
* about abilities at all.*
***SIGN*** Akira Shiroyanagi
***SIGN*** Age 16
**[10:18] Akira**
* Which means that the ability ranking*
* system that Katsuya brought up*
**[10:22] Akira**
* is something the players have*
* come up with themselves.*
**[10:25] Akira**
* The trouble would come if someone*
* already knows that my ability exists.*
**[10:31] Akira**
*I need to act before someone gets my number,*
**[10:34] Akira**
* and I was going to have to do*
* it sooner or later anyway.*
**[10:38] Akira**
* Yuuri is the ideal "other person"*
* under my ability's parameters...*
**[10:42] Akira**
* Even though telling her is basically*
* putting my life in her hands.*
**[10:50] Akira**
*I had no idea...*
**[10:52] Akira**
*how much harder it is to trust someone else*
**[10:55] Akira**
*than to get them to trust you!*
**[11:01] Shirasagi**
We've arrived.
**[11:02] Shirasagi**
These are the Block D ruins.
**[11:05] Yuuri**
Akira! Look!
**[11:08] Mion**
Welcome, all!
**[11:11] Mion**
This is the Mion Presents
Goo-Goo Ghouls party venue!
**[11:17] Mion**
Enjoy it *to death*, you guys!
**[11:27] Akira**
Aren't those...
**[11:30] Mion**
The quest ends when either all the
ghouls or all the people are dead!
**[11:34] Mion**
Each ghoul kill earns you thirty points!
**[11:38] Mion**
And don't forget!
While participating in the quest,
**[11:41] Mion**
it's forbidden to attack
other quest participants!
**[11:44] Mion**
Goo-Goo Ghouls... start!
**[11:51] Mob**
What are those things?!
**[11:53] Shirasagi**
Stay strong!
**[11:54] Shirasagi**
All team tanks!
***SIGN*** Tank
**[11:56] Shirasagi**
Move forward and ring up!
**[12:09] Shirasagi**
Binders!
**[12:10] Shirasagi**
Hold down the enemies the tanks lured in!
***SIGN*** Binder
**[12:12] Asuka**
Then slayers!
***SIGN*** Slayer
***SIGN*** Slayer
**[12:16] Asuka**
While the tanks and binders keep the enemy
distracted, the slayers do their work!
**[12:21] Tattooed Man**
They might be big and tough,
but they move simplistically.
**[12:24] Tattooed Man**
They're nothing to be afraid of.
**[12:37] Akira**
In other words, with both weapons
and intelligence, we'll beat them every time.
**[12:44] Joushima**
Okay! Let's roll!
**[12:49] Akira**
It's okay, Yuuri.
**[12:50] Akira**
With your quintuple movement,
you can run circles around them.
**[12:53] Akira**
Let's execute the agreement
we made last night!
**[12:55] Yuuri**
Got it!
**[13:01] Eiji**
Purge, finish it off!
***SIGN*** Eiji Ueno
Team D Leader
"The ability to make your body
as hard as iron: <>"
**[13:05] Katsuya**
It's coming!
**[13:06] Katsuya**
Ya sure this is what ya want?
**[13:08] Mari**
Yes.
**[13:09] Mari**
Curse doll...
**[13:18] Mari**
See?
**[13:19] Katsuya**
Scary!
***SIGN*** Tooru Joushima
Team C Leader
"The ability to teleport:
<>"
**[13:26] Akira**
Yuuri! You see Team C's leader's ability?
**[13:29] Yuuri**
Yes!
**[13:30] Yuuri**
Is that teleportation?
**[13:39] Akira**
*Just as I thought!*
**[13:42] Yuuri**
*Agreement?*
**[13:43] Akira**
*Yeah.*
**[13:44] Akira**
* First, I want you to keep thinking*
* that my ability is telepathy.*
**[13:49] Yuuri**
* But then how will you*
* fight with your cannon?*
**[13:52] Akira**
*It's covered.*
**[13:53] Akira**
* Everyone else still thinks*
* my ability is the cannon.*
**[13:57] Akira**
* So when I want to use the cannon,*
* I'll just switch to someone else.*
**[14:02] Akira**
* Whatever the other person*
* thinks my ability is...*
**[14:06] Akira**
* "The other person" can be anyone who*
* sees themselves as engaged with me.*
**[14:13] Akira**
*"The other person about to shoot me."*
**[14:15] Akira**
*"The other person I'm about to fight."*
**[14:17] Akira**
* The question is whether anybody but Yuuri*
* will be engaged with me out there.*
**[14:23] Akira**
*The leader is a cautious person.*
**[14:25] Akira**
* If the people with rare abilities like ours*
* want to fight, he'll make full use of us,*
**[14:31] Akira**
* but he'll task trusted allies to watch*
* over us to make sure we're not lost.*
**[14:37] Akira**
* They'll always be thinking of me as*
* "the other person I'm watching out for"!*
**[14:42] Akira**
*This will work.*
**[14:44] Akira**
* I can switch between abilities by having*
* engagements with multiple people.*
**[14:48] Akira**
* With Yuuri's help, I can move*
* my ability to the next stage!*
**[14:52] Mion**
Akira's really going at it.
**[14:55] Mion**
But I wonder how long he can keep it up...
**[15:19] Akira**
Is that Team Red?
**[15:22] Yuuki**
Hey, it's the cannon kid
we've heard so much about!
**[15:24] Yuuki**
Just like Mr. Masa said!
**[15:26] Kuroiwa**
Lower your voice before I kill you.
**[15:28] Yuuki**
Yeah, right! Sorry!
**[15:29] Yuuki**
Uh, sorry...
**[15:31] Oogami**
But sending out a new recruit like that...
**[15:33] Oogami**
Are the Greens getting desperate?
**[15:35] Kuroiwa**
They prioritize point acquisition,
even if it means we see their abilities.
**[15:40] Kuroiwa**
But knowing Shirasagi, I would expect...
**[15:45] Shirasagi**
*I wasn't expecting Kuroiwa to show.*
**[15:47] Shirasagi**
*I don't want him watching us!*
**[15:49] Akira**
*We should hide our abilities.*
**[15:51] Akira**
*Yuuri! Try to limit—*
**[15:54] Yuuri**
Huh?
**[15:55] Akira**
*So much for that!*
**[15:57] Mion**
I set up this whole event,
and you won't even take part,
**[16:00] Mion**
Ichi-Kuro Brothers?
**[16:02] Oogami**
Our brain's decision, not mine.
**[16:04] Mion**
Boo!
**[16:05] Kuroiwa**
Don't pester us, Mion.
**[16:07] Kuroiwa**
You said you'd stay out.
**[16:09] Mion**
Oh, is someone running away?
**[16:12] Mion**
And they were doing so well.
**[16:13] Mion**
Is it because they saw you?
**[16:15] Kuroiwa**
I knew it.
**[16:17] Kuroiwa**
Shirasagi...
**[16:18] Kuroiwa**
There's something he doesn't want me to see.
**[16:21] Oogami**
We won't let them get away.
**[16:23] Oogami**
That's why we brought all these slaves here.
**[16:26] Slave**
Please don't do this!
**[16:27] Kuroiwa**
"Don't do this"?
**[16:29] Kuroiwa**
You all owe me a debt, remember?
**[16:32] Kuroiwa**
It's time you repaid it.
**[16:39] Shirasagi**
If we leave the ruins now,
**[16:41] Shirasagi**
the ghouls' targets will shift to Team Red.
**[16:43] Shirasagi**
And then—
**[16:51] Eiji**
What are they doing?
**[16:52] Shirasagi**
Something's not right.
**[16:54] Shirasagi**
Can it be...
**[16:55] Shirasagi**
They're being forced to charge in?
**[16:57] Shirasagi**
To slow us down?!
**[16:59] Kuroiwa**
You said quest participants are forbidden
from attacking each other.
**[17:03] Kuroiwa**
But this doesn't violate
the rules, does it, Mion?
**[17:06] Mion**
Nah! I'll give you this one!
**[17:09] Kuroiwa**
Since I ordered them to attack the
ghouls rather than Team Green.
***SIGN*** <>
Mr. Masaya Kuroiwa
Your ability is
"the ability to
forcibly collect
debts you're owed."
**[17:14] Kuroiwa**
What now, Shirasagi?
**[17:16] Kuroiwa**
Will you run off and abandon them? Or...
**[17:23] Yuuri**
That girl!
**[17:24] Akira**
From the second—
**[17:29] Ringo**
*Akira!*
**[17:30] Akira**
Leader!
**[17:31] Katsuya**
Sir?
**[17:32] Shirasagi**
We have no choice!
**[17:33] Shirasagi**
Save them!
**[17:36] Oogami**
They're in the palm of our hand.
**[17:37] Oogami**
Like insects.
**[17:39] Kuroiwa**
Reminds you of old times, eh, Ichi?
**[17:42] Oogami**
Yeah. Some things don't change,
no matter where you are.
**[17:45] Oogami**
What's your plan now, Mion?
**[17:47] Oogami**
I'm sure you've got more up your sleeve.
**[17:49] Mion**
I was *really* hoping you'd participate, too.
**[17:52] Mion**
But this is more interesting,
so I'll allow it.
**[18:08] Mion**
Ta-dah!
**[18:10] Mion**
Check out that surprise reveal!
**[18:11] Mion**
It's Meown, the combined ghoul!
**[18:14] Mion**
How many will survive while
also rescuing the slaves?
**[18:20] Mion**
Time to start the main event!
**[18:25] Kuroiwa**
Get going.
**[18:30] Eiji**
Ironwall!
**[18:42] Yuuri**
Akira!
**[18:46] Akira**
Leader!
**[18:48] Kuroiwa**
Oh?
**[18:49] Kuroiwa**
Now this is getting interesting.
**[18:52] Shirasagi**
Akira, can you move?
**[18:54] Akira**
I think so.
**[18:55] Shirasagi**
I'll distract this thing.
**[18:57] Shirasagi**
When you see an opening, go save Eiji.
**[19:00] Shirasagi**
Katsuya!
**[19:01] Shirasagi**
Bring the others together
and get them out of here!
**[19:03] Shirasagi**
I'll be fine!
**[19:05] Shirasagi**
The trouble is...
**[19:07] Kuroiwa**
* Now show me, Shirasagi...*
* all that your ability encompasses.*
**[19:13] Shirasagi**
Go, Akira!
**[19:18] Shirasagi**
I said, you're facing me now!
**[19:25] Shirasagi**
*Forced negotiation!*

**[19:52] Shirasagi**
* Using it will compromise our*
* ability to dismantle Team Red...*
**[19:58] Shirasagi**
* But I cannot sacrifice the things*
* that matter to me again!*
**[20:08] Shirasagi**
*Negotiation breakdown!*
**[20:33] Yuuri**
H-He did it!
**[20:34] Yuuri**
He took out that monster all by himself!
**[20:37] Shirasagi**
*When I end negotiations,*
**[20:40] Shirasagi**
* I can turn the damage the attacker*
* dealt back on them to end things.*
**[20:45] Shirasagi**
*He'll know my ability's secret now.*
**[20:48] Joushima**
He could do that, too?
**[20:50] Asuka**
I had no idea!
**[20:52] Oogami**
He had an ace in the hole like that, eh?
**[20:55] Oogami**
The sly old dog.
**[20:56] Kuroiwa**
It was worth watching for that.
**[20:58] Mion**
Excuse me! It's not over yet!
**[21:01] Katsuya**
Sir!
**[21:02] Asuka**
We need to get you treated!
**[21:04] Shirasagi**
I told them to retreat.
**[21:07] Shirasagi**
Honestly...
**[21:21] Mion**
Such a pity!
**[21:22] Mion**
Our little boss battle isn't over yet.
**[21:26] Mion**
You *do* love games, don't you?

**[23:10] Both**
Mion and Yang's Next Episode Preview!
**[23:13] Yang**
But I don't think I can do a preview
with Mion acting like that.
**[23:15] Mion**
It could be a horror-themed summer night
episode with ghosts swarming all around!
**[23:19] Yang**
Is that why you're wearing that?
**[23:20] Mion**
You're mocking me!
**[23:22] Mion**
But have you ever thought about it?
**[23:23] Mion**
What if this preview...
**[23:25] Mion**
were a cursed preview?!
**[23:27] Mion**
Anyone who sees this preview will need to
show it to another person within a week, or else!
**[23:31] Yang**
Or else what?!
**[23:33] Mion**
Ghost Mion...
**[23:34] Mion**
will be sad.
**[23:35] Yang**
S-See you all next time!
**[23:37] Mion**
Watch it, everyone!
**[23:38] Mion**
Or I'll be sad!
