**[00:00] (Flashback) GM**
But it is not a virtual realit.
**[00:04] (Flashback) GM**
It is a planet that exists in the same
place as Earth in a parallel wor.
**[00:12] Yotsuya**
* So the people in this*
* world aren't virtual...*
**[00:15] Yotsuya**
* They're Earthlings that just*
* exist in a parallel reality?*
**[00:29] Yotsuya**
*I... killed a man...*

*I hate people.*
**[01:12] Yotsuya**
*I always wished they'd all just die...*
**[01:18] Yotsuya**
*But after killing just one,*
**[01:21] Yotsuya**
*my heart won't stop pounding.*
**[01:24] Yotsuya**
* Like a roller coaster...*
* no, maybe more like skydiving...*
**[01:40] Yotsuya**
*There's no turning back.*
**[01:44] Yotsuya**
* I didn't even have any intention*
* of starting now...*
**[01:56] Yotsuya**
*I'm falling.*

**[03:45] Boy A**
Hey, pass it!
**[03:49] Boy A**
Hey!
**[03:50] Nomura**
Who even gave him the ball?
**[03:53] Yotsuya**
*Damn it!*
**[04:00] Boy A**
Wow...
**[04:00] Girl A**
Here!
**[04:01] Boy A**
I know. Was he always that
good at sports and stuff?
**[04:01] Girl B**
There!
**[04:03] Girl B**
There!
**[04:06] Hako**
Oops, sorry!
**[04:12] Shindou**
No worries.
**[04:16] Shindou**
It's amazing enough that you don't
have to just watch anymore.
**[04:19] Hako**
I guess I've gained a little more stamina.
**[04:22] Shindou**
I feel a little lighter
than I did before, too.
**[04:26] Shindou**
Maybe all that leveling up
in the other world helped?
**[04:29] Hako**
Maybe.
**[04:30] Girl A**
Here!
**[04:30] Hako**
It's not as if I actually
got over my illness.
**[04:32] Girl A**
Here!
**[04:33] Hako**
Running in this world still wears me out.
**[04:35] Girl A**
Here!
**[04:36] Shindou**
Man, I wish I'd felt like
this before my tournament.
**[04:37] Girl A**
Here!
**[04:42] Hako**
Does Yotsuya-kun know all
that stuff about statuses?
**[04:47] Shindou**
I haven't talked to him since then.
**[04:49] Shindou**
I just... can't bring myself to.
**[04:52] Hako**
Yeah...
**[05:01] (Flashback) Shindou**
Yuka-san? Yuka-san!
**[05:03] (Flashback) Toki**
Huh?
**[05:04] (Flashback) Shindou**
What's up with Yotsuya-kun?
**[05:06] (Flashback) Yuka**
Huh? Oh...
**[05:08] (Flashback) Toki**
I guess we didn't tell you
everything that happened
**[05:10] (Flashback) Toki**
when we saved the Arteros followers.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Toki**
He... killed a man.
***SIGN*** And then?

**[05:31] Nomura**
Hey, Yotsuya!
**[05:34] Nomura**
You need to pass it around more.
**[05:38] Boy A**
Why's he so full of himself
all of a sudden?
**[05:43] Shindou**
*Yeah... it's gotta be hard on him.*
**[05:52] Boy A**
For real?
**[05:53] Nomura**
Yeah, for real!
**[05:59] Yotsuya**
* I mean... I was the only*
* one who killed anybody.*
**[06:06] Yotsuya**
*Who are you?*
**[06:16] Yotsuya**
*Who are you?*
**[06:21] Boy C**
No, I know that's what it was!
**[06:24] Girl A**
It was not. C'mon, give it a rest.
**[06:27] Girl A**
I told you, it wasn't like that!
**[06:28] Yotsuya**
*I hate this city.*

***SIGN*** Now that you've killed someone,
what are your honest feelings?
**[07:10] Yotsuya**
What the hell was that?!
**[07:16] Yotsuya**
Was my killing someone
part of the design, too?
**[07:20] Yotsuya**
But I mean... that was...
**[07:24] Yotsuya**
without a doubt...
**[07:29] Yotsuya**
my own decision.
**[07:32] Yotsuya**
Because I believed it was
virtual... I was convinced...
**[07:37] Yotsuya**
Damn it!
**[07:53] Young Girl**
Hi.
**[07:54] Yotsuya**
Who are you?!

**[08:10] Yotsuya**
Which is it?
**[08:12] Young Girl**
You do not have the right to ask a ques.
**[08:15] Yotsuya**
I knew it! You *are* the Master!
**[08:18] Yotsuya**
And you're just...
talking to me like it's normal.
**[08:24] Yotsuya**
So... uh...
**[08:26] Yotsuya**
I half thought of them as being included
among the people I wished would die.
**[08:35] Yotsuya**
They were...
**[08:37] Yotsuya**
planning to kill some innocent religious
people just to set an example.
**[08:42] Yotsuya**
On top of that, they tricked
us and tried to kill us.
**[08:47] Yotsuya**
To me, that makes them undeniably evil.
**[08:52] Yotsuya**
But... the other half is different.
**[08:55] Yotsuya**
They believed what they
were doing was right.
**[09:00] Yotsuya**
So—
**[09:00] Young Girl**
And?
**[09:02] Yotsuya**
Huh?
**[09:04] Young Girl**
Answer my question.
**[09:09] Yotsuya**
I feel like killing him was a mistake.
**[09:12] Yotsuya**
If I'd known the truth, I wouldn't
have wanted to do it.
**[09:15] Yotsuya**
Okay. I'm done.
**[09:18] Young Girl**
That's it?
**[09:21] Yotsuya**
That's it. I have nothing more to say.
**[09:26] Young Girl**
I see.
**[09:29] Young Girl**
Then why don't I tell you
about the next new player?
**[09:33] Yotsuya**
Really?
**[09:34] Young Girl**
Just like last time,
there's someone I want you to meet.
**[09:38] Yotsuya**
Speaking of, what was up with that
order to hit on Tokitate-san, anyway?
**[09:43] Young Girl**
You do not have the right to ask a ques.
**[09:46] Young Girl**
Remember what I told you then?
It meant what it said.
**[09:49] Yotsuya**
Wait, what did it say again?
**[09:51] Yotsuya**
To save her from the restroom
so I could hit on her...
**[09:54] Yotsuya**
And, uh... I forget.
**[09:56] Young Girl**
So, will you meet this player or not?
**[10:00] Yotsuya**
Well, sure, I will.
**[10:04] Young Girl**
Shall we go, then?
**[10:06] Yotsuya**
A hat? What's that for?

Hey, it's about time.

Get ready.
**[10:27] Shopkeep**
The juice inside is very hot.
Please be careful.
**[10:32] Yotsuya**
Well? What's the deal with
this Chinese restaurant?
**[10:36] Young Girl**
The man sitting at the
far end of the counter.
**[10:41] Young Girl**
Until just recently, he was a drug dealer.
**[10:44] Yotsuya**
Huh?!
**[10:45] Young Girl**
In 20 seconds, the new player is to
enter this restaurant and kill him.
**[10:51] Young Girl**
A certain man has tricked him into
thinking he won't be caught.
**[10:54] Yotsuya**
In 20 seconds?! The...
The one doing the killing?!
**[10:57] Young Girl**
Ten. Nine.
**[10:58] Yotsuya**
W-Wait a minute!
**[10:59] Young Girl**
The player's name is Torii Keita.
Age 19, male.
**[11:03] Young Girl**
His brother Shuuji, age 14,
is also involved in this plot.
**[11:07] Yotsuya**
*Wait, 14? He's my age!*
**[11:09] Young Girl**
Three, two...
**[11:13] Akira**
There he is! Over there!
**[11:17] Akira**
Die!
**[11:19] Yotsuya**
Wait, which one is he?!
**[11:27] Akira**
Wh-What the hell's your problem?!
**[11:29] Yotsuya**
Y-You really shouldn't kill people.
**[11:32] Akira**
Huh?
**[11:34] Yotsuya**
I'm not sure what's going on,
but you've been fooled into—
**[11:35] Akira**
Shut your mouth, you bastard!
**[11:37] Yotsuya**
Ow!
**[11:38] Yotsuya**
That hurt...
**[11:40] Yotsuya**
Hey!
**[11:46] Yotsuya**
*Yeah...*
**[11:49] Yotsuya**
*Idiots who don't understand what I'm saying*
**[11:52] Yotsuya**
*really piss me off!*
**[11:54] Torii**
Ow, hot!
**[11:55] Shuuji**
Damn!
**[11:56] Yotsuya**
* Of course, they only got tricked into*
* coming here because they're idiots.*
**[12:04] Torii**
Shuuji!
**[12:05] Torii**
You son of a bitch!
**[12:07] Yotsuya**
*Wasn't Shuuji the younger brother's name?*
**[12:10] Yotsuya**
*So this one must be...*
**[12:19] Yotsuya**
Your target already ran away.
**[12:21] Yotsuya**
Take your brother and run
before the police show up.
**[12:24] Torii**
Move!
**[12:25] Torii**
*I have to kill him!*
**[12:27] Torii**
What the hell?! Out of my way!
**[12:28] Torii**
He's a yakuza drug dealer!
Who cares if he dies?!
**[12:31] Torii**
Why are you protecting him?!
**[12:33] Yotsuya**
It doesn't matter who he is!
**[12:35] Yotsuya**
I won't let you kill him!
***SIGN*** Chinese Restaurant
**[12:38] Yakuza**

What's going on?

I-I don't know!
**[12:43] Shopkeep**
Some kid... looks like he'd
be in middle school...
**[12:46] Yakuza**
A kid?
**[12:47] Torii**
Stay out of my way!
**[12:49] Yotsuya**
I'm not gonna let you!
**[13:00] Yakuza**
Move.
**[13:03] Yakuza**
Do you work for the Koudangumi?
**[13:07] Yotsuya**
No, I don't.
**[13:10] Yakuza**
Don't lie to me, you little brat!
**[13:16] Young girl**
Hey, Yuu-kun...
**[13:28] Yakuza**
*A child?*
**[13:33] Young girl**
Wanna use this?
**[13:35] Yotsuya**
*A glove?*
**[13:41] Yakuza**
Hey, punk!
**[13:45] Yotsuya**
Creature Magic!
**[13:47] Yotsuya**
Stop!
**[14:11] Yotsuya**
Ow...
**[14:15] Torii**
Wh-What the hell...
**[14:20] Guy**
Finally, they're here!
**[14:21] Torii**
Damn it! The cops!
**[14:23] Yotsuya**
Move it!
**[14:24] Yotsuya**
Take your brother and run!
**[14:26] Torii**
H-Hey... just who are—
**[14:35] Yakuza**
You bastard!
**[14:36] Yakuza**
Who do you think has been keeping
you alive all this time?!
**[14:40] Torii**
Shut up.
**[14:42] Torii**
First you lose to a kid, then you
try to shoot him in the back?
**[14:47] Torii**
You're done, man.
**[14:53] Shuuji**
Nii-chan, hurry!
**[14:56] Torii**
Oh... R-Right.
**[15:02] Torii**
*Where'd those guys go, anyway?*
**[15:07] Yotsuya**
I've cleared the quest, right?
So I'm going home—
**[15:11] Young Girl**
Let's talk for a little while.
**[15:13] Yotsuya**
Huh?
**[15:15] Young Girl**
You stopped a murder today.
**[15:19] Young Girl**
So?
**[15:21] Young Girl**
How did it feel when you killed that man?
**[15:27] Yotsuya**
I don't know.
**[15:30] Yotsuya**
But I think I do know
now what I need to do.
**[15:34] Yotsuya**
If those brothers get arrested, my chance of
success in the next quest will drop, right?
**[15:40] Yotsuya**
I finally remembered what you said
to me before I saved Tokitate-san.
***SIGN*** Your success or failure here will influence
your chances in the next que.
**[15:50] Yotsuya**
It was Tokitate-san who ended up
completing that last quest for us.
**[15:54] Yotsuya**
That means our chances of success
in that quest did go up
**[15:58] Yotsuya**
because I succeeded in
hitting on her, right?
**[16:02] Yotsuya**
The reason she held out until the
end, despite her personality,
**[16:06] Yotsuya**
is because those naked photos
of her didn't get out,
**[16:09] Yotsuya**
meaning this world was still the
reality she wanted to return to.
**[16:13] Yotsuya**
It's all strictly mental stuff,
**[16:16] Yotsuya**
but that definitely increased our
chances of completing the quest.
**[16:20] Yotsuya**
And this time...
**[16:24] Yotsuya**
I created a world he'd want to return to
because he and his brother weren't arrested.
**[16:32] Yotsuya**
And that increases my chances
in the next quest.
**[16:35] Young Girl**
Is that all?
**[16:36] Yotsuya**
What do you mean?
**[16:38] Young Girl**
No comment on the value
of his life or anything?
**[16:43] Yotsuya**
It has no value.
**[16:46] Yotsuya**
Every single person who's dumb
enough to be tricked into killing
**[16:49] Yotsuya**
deserves to die.
**[16:55] Yotsuya**
The truth is that all humans ought to die,
starting with the least valuable ones.
**[17:00] Yotsuya**
That blond guy wouldn't be needed
either, if he wasn't a player.
**[17:07] Young Girl**
That's hilarious!
**[17:09] Young Girl**
I heard Nakata-kun asked out a
girl in his tennis club, too!
**[17:13] Hosshi**
Another cop car?
**[17:15] Shindou**
Yeah, I feel like we've
heard a lot of them today.
**[17:17] Female Student A**
I wonder if something happened.
**[17:19] Female Student B**
Maybe a murder?
**[17:20] Hosshi**
Whoa, scary...
**[17:21] Hosshi**
Hey, Iu, what if there was
a murder? That's scary!
**[17:24] Shindou**
Murder, huh?
**[17:27] Shindou**
Yeah, that has to be rough...
**[17:29] Female Student A**
Rough? What the heck does that mean?
**[17:32] Shindou**
Oh, sorry! Did I just say something?
**[17:34] Hosshi**
Uh, are you okay?
**[17:36] TV**
*Today, we'll be bathing a hedgehog.*
**[17:38] Hako's Mom**
I'm home.
**[17:39] Hako**
Welcome back.
**[17:40] TV**
* What we'll need is our hedgehog,*
* warm water, and a soft towel.*
**[17:40] Hako's Mom**
Apparently a guy with a gun was
arrested near the station.
**[17:44] Hako**
Really?
**[17:46] TV**
* First, gently place the*
* hedgehog in the warm water.*
**[17:48] Hako's Mom**
That doesn't scare you?
**[17:49] Hako**
Sure it does.
**[17:51] TV**
* With its whole body submerged,*
* gently wipe off the dirt.*
**[17:53] Hako's Mom**
Well, I'm going to start on dinner.
Could you clean the bathtub?
**[17:55] TV**
* Be sure to avoid spraying it*
* directly with the shower head.*
**[17:57] Hako**
Okay, sure.
**[18:00] TV**
* Finally, wrap it up in a soft*
* towel and gently dry it off.*
**[18:02] Hako's Mom**
*She once got so scared that she cried*
**[18:05] Hako's Mom**
* just because there was a*
* robber in the neighborhood...*
**[18:10] Yotsuya**
I saved them to increase
Shindou-san and Hakozaki-san's
**[18:13] Yotsuya**
chances of survival,
even if only by one percent.
**[18:17] Toki**
Hey! Did you forget about me?
***SIGN*** OK
***SIGN*** I didn't forget
***SIGN*** I remember, I remember
***SIGN*** Who are you?
**[18:22] Maki**
Well, you haven't been
coming around lately.
**[18:24] Toki**
Yeah, well, a lot of stuff happened,
**[18:28] Toki**
and I was starting to feel
kinda mentally down...
**[18:31] Toki**
Don't worry, though! I'm much better—
**[18:33] Maki**
Oh, hey! There were a bunch of
police sirens in town today...
**[18:37] Toki**
Hey! I'm still talking!
**[18:39] Maki**
What do you think happened?
Pretty freaky, right?
**[18:41] Maki**
Doesn't look like there's any info
online about it yet, either.
**[18:43] Toki**
I'm gonna go get a drink.
**[18:45] Maki**
This is weird! Definitely weird!
**[18:48] Maki**
So what I thought at that moment
**[18:51] Maki**
was that there must be some
scary secret hidden somewhere!
**[18:55] Maki**
I watched this video a couple days ago,
and I realized there was a hint hidden in it!
**[18:59] Maki**
Basically, there are tiny antenna in my head,
and when this incident happened—
**[19:00] Toki**
Anyway, I wonder when we'll
be getting the next quest...
**[19:07] Young Girl**
The value of humans, huh?
**[19:11] Young Girl**
And you're deciding that as if you're
**[19:14] Young Girl**
some anonymous Internet user who's
better than everyone else?
**[19:18] Young Girl**
Just who do you think you are?
**[19:25] Yotsuya**
I'm no one. Just some kid.
**[19:30] Yotsuya**
Just a dumb kid with delusions of grandeur.
**[19:33] Yotsuya**
And I'm fully aware that I'm wrong.
**[19:39] Yotsuya**
I admit it.
**[19:41] Yotsuya**
I know that, honestly.
**[19:45] Yotsuya**
But... How do I put it?
The realization hasn't set in.
**[19:50] Yotsuya**
Only I am right, and the rest
of the world is wrong.
**[19:54] Yotsuya**
That's how I feel.
**[19:56] Yotsuya**
Of course, I know in my head that that's
just proof of my delusions of grandeur.
**[20:02] Yotsuya**
But...
**[20:05] Yotsuya**
If that's true, then so what, right?
**[20:10] (Flashback) Hako**
I want to help everyone now...
**[20:11] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Like hell I'm gonna die!
**[20:13] (Flashback) Shindou**
Please help me.
**[20:16] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Thanks!
**[20:20] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Thanks for everything.
**[20:28] Yotsuya**
Who are you?
