[00:03] ---
    Crap...
[00:04] ---
    If Sui hadn't been dragging her feet,
    this guy wouldn't be on my ass.
[00:07] ---
    Do you understand, Sui?
[00:09] ---
    If we don't get those rings,
    it's game over for both of us.
[00:12] ---
    Hey, brat!
[00:14] ---
    There's something I wanna ask you!
[00:16] ---
    I won't kill you if you come out!
[00:19] ---
    Dammit! I'll take out this
    machine gun moron before the A-ranker.

[01:54] ---
    It's getting dark out.
SIGN    EPISODE 06 HARDNESS
[01:57] ---
    If I don't resolve this soon, I'll be in big trouble.
[02:00] ---
    Hey, brat!
[02:02] ---
    There's something I wanna ask you!
[02:04] ---
    I won't kill you if you come out!
[02:06] ---
    Quit wasting my time here!
[02:09] ---
    Like I can trust him...
[02:11] ---
    I'll get rid of him first.
[02:13] ---
    SUI, MAKE THE PIPES AROUND THAT GUY BURST!
    THEN I'LL FREEZE HIM!
[02:14] ---
    SOTA, WE CAN'T KILL ANYONE.
[02:15] ---
    Sota, we can't kill anyone.
    Let's just get away!

[02:20] ---
    Idiot!
[02:20] ---
    If we give up on those six rings Shuka has,
    we'll probably croak!

[02:25] ---
    BUT...
[02:27] ---
    OKAY
[02:28] ---
    Where did that brat run to?
[02:30] ---
    She didn't seem the type
    who could have an A-ranker on the ropes,
[02:33] ---
    but if possible, I wanna capture her alive
    and pump her for info.
[02:39] ---
    Long-range type Sigils are a pain in the ass,
[02:42] ---
    but with this speed and accuracy,
    I don't have too much to fear.

[02:47] ---
    No way! He knows where we are?!
[02:50] ---
    You don't have a chance in hell!
    So just surrender already!
[02:55] ---
    No, he's just firing wildly.
    He doesn't know we're here.

[03:00] ---
    Sui! Spray water around him again!
    I'll get him this time!

[03:04] ---
    I can't.
[03:05] ---
    There aren't any pipes near him at the moment.
[03:08] ---
    Besides, I can't move the water that fast,
    so he would just dodge it again!

[03:14] ---
    Dummy! Don't give up!
[03:16] ---
    Dammit! Wherever there's a lot of water,
    Sui and I make an unbeatable combo!

[03:20] ---
    All we need is an underground stream...
[03:22] ---
    Wait, I've got it.
[03:24] ---
    We can definitely beat this guy!
[03:27] ---
    That kid looked so scared,
    I thought she'd give up right away.

[03:31] ---
    So, how am I gonna flush her out?
[03:38] ---
    A phone's ringing?
[03:39] ---
    Is it a trap? Or a careless mistake?
[03:45] ---
    Hey! Come out already!
[03:47] ---
    Quit wasting my time!
[03:50] ---
    If she's here, I bet she's cowering
    either in the john or the back?
[03:54] ---
    Which would be a pain
    with her water manipulation power, but...
[04:00] ---
    Is it the brat's phone?
[04:01] ---
    Then where is she?
[04:04] ---
    Nobody would abandon their phone in D-Game.
[04:08] ---
    She's gotta be nearby.
[04:11] ---
    Now!
[04:13] ---
    What?!
[04:18] ---
    You were careless, big guy.
[04:21] ---
    It's not like we can only control fresh water.
[04:27] ---
    Sorry, but I'm gonna finish you off.
[04:30] ---
    Shit... I can't move...
[04:33] ---
    I just don't want any more interference
    from you. Forgive me!
[04:38] ---
    Don't stop me, Sui!
[04:40] ---
    We need those six rings to survive!
[04:43] ---
    We can't let this guy get in our way!
[04:46] ---
    W-What the...?
[04:47] ---
    No!
[04:52] ---
    I can't do it, Sota!
[04:55] ---
    If it means killing someone,
    I don't want to survive!
[05:05] ---
    Is this ice?
[05:07] ---
    I was wondering why the water
    was so cold in the summer.

[05:11] ---
    It's really thick,
    and it goes all the way to the ceiling.

[05:15] ---
    Is she sealed inside?
[05:18] ---
    Shuka!
[05:19] ---
    Shuka!
    If you're all right, answer me!
[05:22] ---
    Dammit! Break for me!
[05:30] ---
    Shuka! Where are you?!
[05:32] ---
    Answer me! Shuka!
[05:35] ---
    That's right. If I look for her rings...
[05:38] ---
    My phone should be waterproof,
    so you'd better work!
[05:41] ---
    There!
[05:43] ---
    Damn, that hurts!
[05:48] ---
    Found her!
[05:56] ---
    Shuka!
[05:57] ---
    Hey, Shuka! Wake up!
[06:00] ---
    She's not breathing!
[06:02] ---
    Wait!
[06:03] ---
    It's faint, but she still has a pulse.
    She's still alive!

[06:07] ---
    I can't carry an unconscious Shuka
    through that little hole.

[06:11] ---
    But I don't have time to widen it.
[06:13] ---
    On top of that, this water is so cold
    that I won't be able to move much longer either!

[06:18] ---
    Dammit, Shuka!
[06:19] ---
    Please, wake up! Shuka!
[06:22] ---
    No good?! What should I do?
[06:25] ---
    CPR?
[06:27] ---
    I learned it in driver's ed,
    but I've never actually done it.

[06:33] ---
    This is no time to hesitate!
[06:37] ---
    Shuka!
[06:42] ---
    Please! Wake up!
[06:49] ---
    Shuka! Shuka!
[06:53] ---
    Shuka!
[06:56] ---
    Huh? Kaname?
[06:59] ---
    Shuka...
[07:04] ---
    Thank goodness! I'm so glad!
[07:06] ---
    Hey... Were you kissing me?
[07:09] ---
    D-Dope! It was CPR!
[07:12] ---
    You weren't breathing!
[07:16] ---
    So warm...
[07:17] ---
    At first I thought maybe we'd both died
    and gone to heaven.
[07:22] ---
    I got close a few times.
    But like you, I managed to pull through.
[07:27] ---
    Kaname...
[07:39] ---
    Now that's a proper first kiss.
[07:42] ---
    Thank you for saving me.
[07:46] ---
    So now what do we do?
[07:48] ---
    O-Oh, uh, of course, we get outta here.
[07:51] ---
    Then we'll hurry back to base.
[07:53] ---
    Base?
[07:54] ---
    We've got more allies now.
    People we can depend on.
[07:58] ---
    Allies? Besides me?
[08:00] ---
    That's not nice. When did that happen?
[08:05] ---
    Kidding.
[08:06] ---
    Forming a clan was the idea, right?
[08:10] ---
    Hey, Kaname...
[08:13] ---
    You asked this morning at the park, remember?
    Why I'm doing Darwin's Game...
[08:20] ---
    If you don't wanna talk about it, that's okay.
[08:24] ---
    No, I want you to know.
[08:27] ---
    I want revenge.
[08:30] ---
    Revenge?
[08:42] ---
    Against the man who murdered my parents.
[08:57] ---
    Darwin's Game?
[09:00] ---
    It was stupid that the password
    was his daughter's birthday.
[09:03] ---
    Talk about no sense of security.
[09:06] ---
    That's why I decided
    to track down and kill that man.
[09:10] ---
    Plus anyone who gets in the way.
[09:13] ---
    And finally, whoever created this game.
    All of them.
[09:17] ---
    That's why I play this game.
[09:21] ---
    I see.
[09:22] ---
    Do you hate me now?
[09:24] ---
    No, to be honest, I feel the same.
[09:27] ---
    I agree with that last part.
    I'd like to put a bullet in this game's creator.
[09:33] ---
    Whether I'd kill them or not...
[09:35] ---
    I see.
[09:38] ---
    Then I'll let you do that one.
[09:41] ---
    Thanks.
[09:43] ---
    All right, let's get the hell out of here.
[09:45] ---
    Can you use your Sigil?
[09:47] ---
    I don't have much strength,
    but my Sigil should still work.
[09:51] ---
    But I lost my weapons along the way...
[09:54] ---
    No problem there.
[09:57] ---
    We're gonna survive.
[10:00] ---
    Hey, Shinji!
    Bring the grenades over! The whole box!
[10:04] ---
    Y-Yes! Right away!
[10:06] ---
    All right, now pass 'em out.
[10:09] ---
    Three per person.
[10:11] ---
    They're easy to use.
    You just pull out the pin like this, and throw it.
[10:14] ---
    D-Don't! You already crippled me
    when you shot me in the leg!
[10:17] ---
    Five seconds later, it goes boom.
[10:19] ---
    It's your own fault for having rings!
[10:21] ---
    Better crawl away now!
[10:26] ---
    Those idiots are wasting weapons again.
[10:29] ---
    But now we know that we can
    use the shop even during an event.
[10:33] ---
    You're a genius, Wang. You have my respect.
[10:36] ---
    By the way, what are you doin' there?
[10:38] ---
    Kei, how do you think this event is won?
[10:42] ---
    Well, the winner is whichever clan
    gathers the most rings, no?
[10:47] ---
    Yeah, this would be a piece of cake
    if the other players were as smart as you.
[10:54] ---
    Seriously?! Nobody's ever called me smart before!
[10:57] ---
    You're very smart, Kei.
[11:11] ---
    It stopped?
[11:15] ---
    NEW INFORMATION
    IT'S TIME FOR THE SECOND RING DISTRIBUTION.
    START LOOKING!
[11:17] ---
    Well, then...
[11:19] ---
    Okay, we've got 30 more reinforcements,
    so it's about time to get to work.
[11:26] ---
    This is the end.
    We'll demolish that hotel with a bang.
[11:31] ---
    NEW INFORMATION
    IT'S TIME FOR THE SECOND RING DISTRIBUTION.
    START LOOKING!
[11:32] ---
    ROGER. PLEASE PROCEED.
    WE SUCCEEDED IN RESCUING SHUKA.
    WE'RE HEADING YOUR WAY.
[11:37] ---
    A DIAMOND RING SPAWNED
    IT'S TOO DANGEROUS HERE
    IF YOU HAVE AN EMERALD RING,
    CHECK THE QR CODE ON IT
[11:43] ---
    THERE'S A CODE
[11:45] ---
    What are we gonna do, Kaname?
[11:48] ---
    THANKS. WE'LL CONTACT YOU
    AFTER GETTING THE DIAMOND
[11:50] ---
    Do? About what?
[11:53] ---
    And? I understand your story,
[11:56] ---
    but do you think an apology
    is enough for me let it go?
[11:59] ---
    N-No, what I did to you was awful,
    but I wanted to apologize first of all...
[12:05] ---
    Beyond that, I've decided to give up on fighting.
[12:09] ---
    I don't want to live so badly
    that I would kill someone for it.
[12:12] ---
    Is that so? Then die.
[12:16] ---
    And normally I would
    have killed you on the spot.
[12:20] ---
    But I'll forgive you this time.
[12:24] ---
    In fact, I'm actually grateful to you.
[12:27] ---
    Trapping me behind that ice was just the thing
    to bring Kaname and I closer together.
[12:33] ---
    O-Oh, um... Well...
[12:36] ---
    Looks like the confrontation ended amicably,
[12:39] ---
    but I'm surprised you're going out
    with a scary girl like that.
[12:43] ---
    N-No, it's not like we're going out.
[12:46] ---
    We just met two days ago.
[12:48] ---
    Kaname, what are we going to do now?
[12:51] ---
    I'd like to change out of these wet clothes.
[12:53] ---
    True, all three of us are drenched.
[12:56] ---
    I-I'm sorry! That's my fault!
[12:59] ---
    U-Um, if you don't mind,
    I can use my Sigil to dry them.
[13:08] ---
    Your Sigil's so convenient!
    I kind of like it!
[13:12] ---
    R-Really?
[13:14] ---
    It is impressive.
[13:16] ---
    You could use your Sigil to wring
    all the moisture from your enemies' bodies.
[13:22] ---
    I could never do something so terrifying!
[13:24] ---
    Besides, I can't move water around that quickly.
[13:28] ---
    Sota is better at using his Sigil
    than I am with mine.
[13:32] ---
    Sota?
[13:33] ---
    Oh, Sota's the twin brother I mentioned before.
[13:36] ---
    Oh, so that's what you call it.
[13:38] ---
    H-He's not imaginary!
[13:41] ---
    Sota is really inside of me!
[13:44] ---
    He died in an accident, but his spirit came back,
[13:48] ---
    just like I wished for in D-Game!
[13:51] ---
    Just like you wished for in D-Game?
    What does that mean?
[13:54] ---
    E-Everyone at school says it.
[13:57] ---
    That in D-Game,
    you'll get the Sigil you wished for!
[14:00] ---
    That's a new one to me.
[14:02] ---
    B-But it really happened...
[14:05] ---
    I've decided.
    You're interesting, so join our clan.
[14:10] ---
    That's okay with you, isn't it, Kaname?
[14:12] ---
    Is that what we were talking about?
[14:15] ---
    Well, it's fine with me.
[14:18] ---
    U-Um, I appreciate your kindness,
    but I'm really not cut out for fighting.
[14:25] ---
    Then it's settled.
[14:27] ---
    Nobody says you have to fight.
[14:29] ---
    Um, then what should I do?
[14:32] ---
    Cleaning and laundry and stuff.
[14:35] ---
    I'm pretty good at that, I guess...
[14:37] ---
    You're just gonna let that go?
[14:40] ---
    It's fine. We did intend
    to form a real clan eventually anyway.
[14:45] ---
    Well, it doesn't matter to me who you recruit.
[14:48] ---
    As long as I get to snuff Wang
    of the Eighth Clan in this event, I'm good.
[14:52] ---
    I don't know the details, but I get
    that you've got a grudge for this Wang guy.
[14:57] ---
    Just don't forget.
[14:58] ---
    We didn't form this coalition to murder Wang.
[15:02] ---
    We did it to survive this game.
[15:04] ---
    I guess we have a difference of opinion then.
[15:08] ---
    Well, for now, I'll do what you say.
    I owe you that much.
[15:15] ---
    They started without us.
[15:17] ---
    Can't see from here though...
[15:19] ---
    I guess when the diamond ring appeared,
    everyone on break got back into it all at once.
[15:24] ---
    Should I take the rings and run decoy?
    The idea is to hole up in the hotel, right?
[15:29] ---
    No, you're not at full strength yet.
[15:32] ---
    Besides, that hotel's about to be a battlefield,
    with the diamond ring as the spoils.
[15:37] ---
    And then there's the code that Rein found.
[15:40] ---
    If my hunch is right...
[15:43] ---
    There it is! Rein's reply!
[15:47] ---
    Kaname?
[15:48] ---
    Shuka, toss all the rings you've got.
[15:51] ---
    We're done with them.
[15:54] ---
    We're gonna obtain the true treasure
    and end this friggin' event!
[16:01] ---
    What does Kaname say?
[16:03] ---
    Apparently we're ditching the rings
    in a bid to clear the game.
[16:06] ---
    I'm going to move on that.
[16:08] ---
    It's a bold decision, as expected from Kaname.
[16:11] ---
    What will you do, Mr. Hiiragi?
[16:14] ---
    Even if all five of us were here,
    would we stand a chance against their numbers?
[16:20] ---
    Hey, attack squad, you ready?!
[16:23] ---
    Let's burst through their barricade!
[16:26] ---
    Just from here, I see almost 20 of them.
[16:28] ---
    No matter how you look at it,
    we're outnumbered.
[16:31] ---
    You should go.
[16:33] ---
    Give Kaname my apology
    for not helping in the end.
[16:38] ---
    Then you mean to stay?
[16:40] ---
    My daughter has a bad heart,
    so I need a lot of money.
[16:46] ---
    Rather than an obscure "clearing" of the game,
    I want the rings, which are certainly worth points.
[16:51] ---
    I was even lucky enough to get the diamond ring.
[16:54] ---
    Come to think of it,
    my daughter's twelve now.
[16:57] ---
    She's about as big as you.
[16:59] ---
    I'm thirteen.
[17:02] ---
    Oh, pardon me.
[17:04] ---
    My daughter is certainly
    much less mature than you...
[17:07] ---
    Mr. Hiiragi, if I were in your daughter's shoes,
[17:12] ---
    and I found out my father died in a strange place,
    and that I'd never see him again,
[17:19] ---
    that would be sadder than any disease I had.
[17:23] ---
    That's it from me. Good luck.
[17:31] ---
    I'm aware...
[17:33] ---
    But the only thing I can offer is my own life.
[17:39] ---
    We're through!
[17:40] ---
    Attack squad, advance!
[17:43] ---
    The hotel squatters aren't retaliating.
[17:46] ---
    They probably laid traps and hid.
[17:49] ---
    I'll go take a peek.
[17:51] ---
    Hey, Sig. You're in charge of the front.
[17:54] ---
    I won't let you down.
[17:58] ---
    Like we figured,
    they planted explosives here and there.
[18:01] ---
    Then all we gotta do is set 'em off from here.
[18:04] ---
    Yeah, let's mow right through this joint.
[18:08] ---
    We can buy all the grenades we need.
[18:11] ---
    Still, what's with these plants?
    It's frickin' creepy.
[18:15] ---
    Probably the Sigil of one of the squatters.
[18:19] ---
    Actually, I've heard rumors
    about a guy who controls plants.
[18:23] ---
    I think he goes by the "Florist."
[18:26] ---
    What do we do, Sig?
[18:28] ---
    To go upstairs, we either gotta
    take an elevator or emergency stairs.
[18:32] ---
    If we were gonna be cautious,
    we'd take the stairs,
[18:35] ---
    but if our opponent controls plants,
    that's a different story.
[18:39] ---
    The perfect match for my Sigil!
[18:45] ---
    Doesn't look like a trap.
[18:47] ---
    In that case, I'll do recon.
[18:49] ---
    Sig, shouldn't we send some people with you?
[18:52] ---
    Nah, no need.
[18:53] ---
    I'll call you guys up once I'm sure it's safe.
[18:58] ---
    Guess I'll try the top floor...
[19:05] ---
    Here we go. Definitely has plant control.
[19:08] ---
    But then this...
[19:10] ---
    ...is a walk in the park!
    Bonus stage in the bag!
[19:17] ---
    Hey, where's the welcome party?
[19:20] ---
    How anticlimactic.
[19:24] ---
    My guess was right.
    All the rings are on the top floor.
[19:28] ---
    Scattered all over the floor.
[19:31] ---
    But only traps and no ambush?
[19:36] ---
    Don't tell me they dumped all 20 rings and fled?
[19:40] ---
    TAKE THE SAME ELEVATOR UP, YOU GUYS.
[19:41] ---
    I TOOK OUT THE PLANT MASTER'S TRAPS.
[19:42] ---
    All right! I knew we could count on Sig!
[19:45] ---
    Good, I didn't wanna have
    to walk up 40 flights of stairs.
[19:50] ---
    We can't all fit in one elevator at the same time.
[19:55] ---
    We'll take two trips.
[19:57] ---
    The enemy hasn't
    rolled out the red carpet for us yet,
[19:59] ---
    but they likely won't be as shy upstairs!
[20:01] ---
    So keep your eyes peeled!
[20:06] ---
    Apologies for not greeting you earlier.
[20:09] ---
    I welcome you, my Eighth friends.
[20:16] ---
    Move back!
    He doesn't have any ranged weapons!
[20:20] ---
    Where is your boss, Wang?
[20:23] ---
    Even scum like you
    isn't enough to take me down.
[20:25] ---
    Who are you talkin' about?
    Don't underestimate the Eighth.
[20:30] ---
    We're both dead!
    You'll learn to fear us!
[20:36] ---
    What's taking those guys so long?
[20:39] ---
    Here we go, finally...
[20:42] ---
    Hey, took you–
[20:44] ---
    Your friends aren't coming.
[20:46] ---
    I won't let you have a single ring.
[20:50] ---
    I'll kill you!
[21:43] ---
    Looks like I safely slipped past Eighth's siege.
[21:47] ---
    TIME REMAINING
    CURRENTLY 98 PLAYERS SEARCHING FOR TREASURE.
[21:47] ---
    There were 300 players when this event started.
[21:51] ---
    It's as if the objective was to cull the herd.
[21:57] ---
    To begin with,
    this is the game's first major event.

[22:00] ---
    By using teleportation to dispose of corpses
    and mind control through cell phones,

[22:05] ---
    it became a foregone conclusion that this event,
    which occupies an entire town, would come to light.

[22:11] ---
    I figured the D-Game admin was trying
    to avoid intervention by the authorities,

[22:17] ---
    but has their objective changed?
[22:20] ---
    Or has it become less necessary to hide?
[22:23] ---
    Well, just thinking about it
    won't give me any answers.

[22:27] ---
    Right now, I have to focus on
    the problem at hand.

[22:31] ---
    I identified all of the numbers
    hidden on the rings.

[22:35] ---
    The question is, what do they mean?
[22:38] ---
    Even after ranking them by point value,
    the meaning of the numbers isn't clear.

[22:43] ---
    I thought maybe they could be ranked
    by the value of the corresponding gem,

[22:48] ---
    but determining the value of the gems
    by type and weight alone is no simple matter.

[22:53] ---
    Then what could be some objective standard
    I could use to rank the gems?

[22:59] ---
    Hardness!
[23:01] ---
    Arranging them by hardness is the right answer!
[23:04] ---
    The hint was ruby and sapphire
    having the same number.

[23:08] ---
    Both of them have a Mohs hardness of 9.
[23:11] ---
    They're the same mineral,
    both being crystalline forms of aluminum oxide.

[23:16] ---
    If I arrange the numbers
    according to their Mohs hardness,

[23:18] ---
    the display of coordinates becomes clear.
[23:21] ---
    And the location of these coordinates...
[23:25] ---
    ...is the center of this event, Shibuya Station.
[23:28] ---
    The true treasure
    must be hidden somewhere in the station!

[23:35] ---
    NEXT TIME: EIGHTH
[23:35] ---
    Next time, "Eighth."
