**[00:18] L**
the game has reached its good ending.

Yo, Hero! You gave the
performance of a century!
***SIGN*** Coy

We're off-duty until the game restarts.

***SIGN*** Heroine 1
Lillia
**[00:39] Lillia**
We should've done this at
the Royal Palace instead.
**[00:42] Mag**
But the program forbids us from
entering towns or villages...
**[00:47] Mel**
You shouldn't have said that!

***SIGN*** Heroine 2
Mellie
**[00:49] Mel**
This why you can't be the
main heroine, Lillia.
**[00:52] Li**
Say what?!
**[00:54] Li**
*You're* the minor heroine,
and your chest is just as minor!
**[00:57] Mel**
What?!
**[00:59] Lo**
My, my. This is a problem.

Louise
**[01:03] L**
C'mon, let's, at least, not fight
during the wrap party.
**[01:06] Mel**
In complete agreement.
**[01:09] Li**
Quit rubbing up against him!
**[01:12] Lo**
By the way, I don't see the sage.
**[01:16] L**
He should be back anytime now.
**[01:21] L**
Marius, how were the reviews?
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 90 0 l 100 10 l 100 70 l 90 80 l -90 80 l -100 70 l -100 10 l -90 0
***SIGN*** Sage
Marius
**[01:25] M**
All the reviews say this game...
**[01:28] M**
is junk!
**[01:30] All**
Wha...
**[01:31] All**
What?!
**[01:34] L**
But this is a retro fantasy
with a conventional story.
**[01:38] L**
And they call it junk? It must be a mistake!
**[01:41] M**
The exact words were "a junk hodgepodge."
***SIGN*** Junk Hodgepodge
**[01:45] Lo**
I wonder where we went wrong.
**[01:47] Mel**
Our developers worked so hard, too, chanting...
**[01:49] Devs**
Crazy deadline...
***SIGN*** Crazy Deadline...
**[01:51] Mel**
...the entire time.
**[01:53] Li**
And it gets called junk?
**[01:55] ---**
I feel so bad for them!

**[02:11] Li**

"The heroines are too easy."
**[02:12] Mel**
*Our eyes met!*
***SIGN*** Melli joined your party
***SIGN*** Our eyes met!
**[02:14] M**
"Way too easy."
**[02:14] Lo**
*You look exactly like my late father...*
***SIGN*** Louise joined your party
***SIGN*** You look exactly like
my late father...
**[02:17] Mel**
You heard 'em, Lillia.
**[02:19] Li**
They're talking about you, Mellie.
**[02:21] M**
Et cetera, et cetera.

Gamers won't replay the game if it's
just the same thing all over again.
**[02:33] L**
We have no choice.
We have to use the Edit Mode!
**[02:36] M**
What? Edit Mode grants the
characters total freedom!
**[02:39] M**
There's a risk the story will fall apart!
**[02:42] L**
We're gonna have to make
this a fun game ourselves!
**[02:46] L**
Never again will they call us a junk game!
**[02:49] All**
Let's do it!
**[02:50] All**
Agreed!
**[02:51] All**
Let's do a New Game+ in Edit Mode!
**[02:54] All**
Yeah!
**[02:56] M**
Is this going to be all right?
