**[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.*

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."
