[00:01] Yotsuya
Okay. Let's split up.
[00:05] Hako
What do you mean by "split up"?
[00:07] Yotsuya
Uh, just that we should split into
two groups and travel separately.
[00:13] Shindou
Two groups?
[00:15] Yotsuya
One to follow the Deokk soldiers
and save those prisoners,
[00:19] Yotsuya
and one to look for different
cargo bound for Radodorbo.
[00:23] Yotsuya
Since we don't know exactly
what "the goods" entails,
[00:27] Yotsuya
we can't even be clear on the
requirements to complete the quest.
[00:30] Hako
That's true.
[00:31] Hako
If we have the wrong idea of what
it is, we'll all suffer for it.
[00:35] Shindou
I get that, but what teams
are we splitting into?
[00:42] Yotsuya
With our combat strength in mind,
[00:43] Yotsuya
I think Shindou-san and I
should be on separate teams.
[00:46] Kahvel
Obviously...
[00:48] Kahvel
I'll be pursuing the men from Deokk.
[00:50] Kahvel
I must avenge Bihmsberg.
[00:54] Yotsuya
That just leaves the question
of where the rest will go.

[02:41] Shindou
If we stay on the main road,
[02:43] Shindou
we should come across a
settlement eventually.
[02:46] Hako
And if we offer to escort any
deliveries from there to Radodorbo,
[02:50] Hako
we can achieve our goal.
[02:51] Makuah
Yeah, and to do that, we might
not even need a settlement.
[02:55] Makuah
We could run into a traveling
merchant headed for Radodorbo.
[02:59] Shindou
Oh, yeah, and escorting them
would have the same effect.
[03:03] Shindou
This might actually be easy.
[03:05] Yotsuya
Looks like Team A is making good progress.
[03:10] Yotsuya
So as Team B, we'll also follow the plan
[03:13] Yotsuya
to continue pursuing the route
Deokk's wagon is taking.
[03:16] Toki
Why am I on this team?
[03:18] Toki
It's bound to be a lot more dangerous!
[03:21] Kahvel
They don't know that we
made it out of the cave.
[03:24] Kahvel
Killing them in an ambush
might work well enough,
[03:28] Kahvel
but one thing concerns me.
[03:31] Kahvel
Before they locked us in that cave...
[03:43] (Flashback) Kamilto
We're counting on you.
[03:57] Kahvel
I suspect it was routine communication
with the kingdom...
[04:01] Kahvel
but it was likely a notice that they
were going to trap some enemy heroes
[04:04] Kahvel
and soldiers of Cortonel the next day.
[04:08] Yotsuya
There's a good chance you're right.
[04:10] Kahvel
And what if the kingdom's
soldiers went missing
[04:14] Kahvel
shortly after trapping Cortonel's soldiers?
[04:18] Toki
It might imply that we escaped their trap
[04:21] Toki
and ended up killing them?
[04:24] Kahvel
Right.
[04:25] Kahvel
No, they are a militant nation.
[04:28] Kahvel
Regardless of the truth,
[04:30] Kahvel
they might use it as an
excuse to declare war.
[04:33] Kahvel
We must avoid that.
[04:36] Toki
You mean war would break out?
[04:38] Kahvel
Speaking strictly in terms of numbers,
[04:41] Kahvel
the kingdom has ten times
the soldiers we do.
[04:43] Kahvel
We'd stand no chance...
[04:44] Kahvel
and I don't want to see my country
destroyed because of me.
[04:49] Yotsuya
So what we need to do first
[04:52] Yotsuya
is get them to write a letter
saying Cortonel isn't the enemy.
[04:57] Toki
Get them to write that?
[05:00] Yotsuya
We don't know his written language,
penmanship, or signature,
[05:03] Yotsuya
so we can't force them to write
it, or write it for them.
[05:07] Yotsuya
We need to convince them
that it's the truth
[05:09] Yotsuya
so that they'll report it to the kingdom.
[05:12] Toki
Uh, that sounds impossible.
[05:14] Yotsuya
A letter might not have any effect.
[05:17] Yotsuya
The kingdom could just ignore the letter
and start a war with Cortonel.
[05:23] Yotsuya
But still,
[05:25] Yotsuya
I want them to know hell and despair...
[05:27] Yotsuya
humiliation and regret...
[05:30] Yotsuya
and I want them feeling
all that as they die.
[05:35] Yotsuya
I have an idea.
[05:40] Both
What an evil face!
[05:48] Yotsuya
We finally caught up to them.
[05:50] Toki
Looks like the soldiers and the
convicts are all unharmed.
[05:54] Kahvel
When do we strike?
[05:55] Yotsuya
Not yet.
[05:57] Yotsuya
This is all flat land with no obstacles.
[05:59] Yotsuya
We'll follow them at a fixed distance
until everything is ready.
[06:10] Yotsuya
Go time will be tomorrow.
[06:12] (Flashback) Toki
Okay, got it.
[06:14] (Flashback) Toki
You know, I'm impressed you keep coming
up with these ruthless ideas.
[06:18] (Flashback) Toki
Maybe the plan wasn't to make
you a hero, but a demon king.
[06:24] (Flashback) Yotsuya
Well, I was always good
at stuff like that...
[06:27] Yotsuya
Like the Dark Surreal series
and the Fall Bad series.
[06:32] Toki
Ah, console games, huh?
[06:34] Yotsuya
Thinking about how to kill enemies
is a pretty regular part of my day.
[06:39] Toki
I haven't played anything but social
network games for about a year now.
[06:42] Tsubasa
Your smile is more beautiful than
any treasure in the world.
[06:43] Toki
God, I wanna meet Tsubasa-kun right now!
[06:45] Toki
Tsubasa-kyun! Want!
[06:49] Toki
So this world...
[06:52] Toki
This world is virtual, right?
[06:55] Yotsuya
I'm not really sure.
[06:58] Toki
So let's say...
[07:02] Toki
I-If you... kissed a character
from this world...
[07:07] Toki
would it count as your first kiss?
[07:10] Yotsuya
Huh?
[07:12] Yotsuya
Wait a minute... Don't tell me...
[07:15] Yotsuya
Did you?! Who was it? Makuah-san?
[07:19] Toki
Hell no! I wasn't talking about me!
[07:23] Yotsuya
Huh?
[07:25] Yotsuya
Shindou-san, then?
[07:27] Toki
It was just hypothetical!
[07:29] Toki
It wasn't about anyone in particular!
[07:31] Toki
I meant you! Also, you're just
naturally rude, aren't you?!
[07:35] Yotsuya
Yeah, but isn't a first kiss
just an abstract concept?
[07:39] Yotsuya
So why not count it toward your
experience, virtual or not?
[07:43] Yotsuya
Especially in a world as
realistic as this one.
[07:47] Yotsuya
Anyway, I'm gonna swap out with Kahvel-san.
[07:50] Toki
And what would it be if you were asleep?
[07:54] Toki
I guess it wouldn't count
toward your experience, then.
[07:57] Toki
I mean, I've seen a lot of
stories where the person
[07:59] Toki
was actually awake and just missed the
right timing to pretend to wake up...
[08:01] Yotsuya
Kahvel-san, rise and shine.
[08:03] Yotsuya
It's your turn to take over the watch.
[08:04] Toki
But based on that reaction,
[08:06] Toki
he was legit asleep.
[08:11] Kamilto
It has been a difficult journey.
[08:13] Kamilto
All of our senior officers died in action,
[08:15] Kamilto
leaving me, a lower officer,
to lead the remainder of our march,
[08:20] Kamilto
in an unprecedented turn of events.
[08:23] Kamilto
However, our journey will
end in three days.
[08:26] Kamilto
By giving these heretics
practicing a foreign religion
[08:28] Kamilto
their execution in the international
port town of Radodorbo,
[08:32] Kamilto
we can eliminate them at the source
[08:34] Kamilto
and stop them from contaminating our
continent of Meri any further!
[08:40] All
Yeah!
[08:41] Yotsuya
So, hey...
[08:45] Yotsuya
Got a minute?
[08:47] Kamilto
What?!
[08:48] Kamilto
You made it out of that dungeon?!
[08:51] Kamilto
Prepare for battle!
[08:54] Yotsuya
Now, hang on a minute.
[08:56] Yotsuya
I'm just here to negotiate.
[08:58] Kamilto
Negotiate?
[09:00] Yotsuya
Yeah.
[09:01] Yotsuya
You know fighting won't do
any good anyway, right?
[09:04] Yotsuya
We heroes recover from any
wound in twenty seconds,
[09:08] Yotsuya
and even if we die,
we revive in forty seconds.
[09:12] Yotsuya
You guys can't beat us.
[09:15] Kamilto
What is it, then?
What do you want to negotiate?
[09:18] Yotsuya
First, one thing...
[09:20] Yotsuya
The four from Cortonel died in that cave.
[09:23] Yotsuya
Also, two of the heroes fell in a hole,
[09:24] Yotsuya
so only the four-eyes and I remain.
[09:27] Yotsuya
Yo, four-eyes!
[09:28] Toki
Keep your damn voice down. I'm right here.
[09:32] Toki
This negotiation only stands
to benefit you, anyway.
[09:35] Toki
Why do I need to be here?
[09:38] Kamilto
Only him?
[09:39] Toki
Yeah!
[09:41] Toki
He's a hero, but he converted
to the religion of Arteros!
[09:45] Kamilto
What?!
[09:46] Yotsuya
That's right.
[09:48] Yotsuya
I'm negotiating for my
three fellow believers.
[09:52] Yotsuya
If you don't hand them over,
[09:53] Yotsuya
I'll use my immortality to spread our
Saint's teachings all over the world!
[09:58] Yotsuya
The people will heed the words of a hero!
[10:00] Yotsuya
And then...
[10:01] Yotsuya
the world will be teeming
with believers of Arteros!
[10:06] Kamilto
Even if we comply,
you'll still be free to do that!
[10:09] Kamilto
What is there to negotiate?!
[10:10] Yotsuya
You have until the sun
rises tomorrow to decide.
[10:14] Yotsuya
If the three believers are hurt or
killed before then, the deal is off.
[10:18] Yotsuya
I will return here at that time.
[10:21] Yotsuya
You'd better make your decision by then.
[10:27] Yotsuya
So long! Let's go, four-eyes!
[10:29] Toki
Oh, shut up!
[10:37] Gurobi
What should we do?
[10:38] Kamilto
There's nothing to negotiate!
[10:40] Hem
But we can't just do nothing...
[10:42] Kamilto
I realize that.
[10:44] Kamilto
If an immortal hero propagates
that heretical religion,
[10:47] Kamilto
this expedition will be not
only wasted, but detrimental!
[10:51] Gurobi
We must do something about them.
[10:53] Hem
But wait...
[10:54] Hem
He said they've already lost two heroes!
[10:57] Kamilto
That's it!
[10:58] Kamilto
Heroes can't die, but they can be
trapped in holes or jail cells!
[11:01] Hem
Yes, so if we capture them before
the end of the night—
[11:05] Toki
Good point.
[11:07] Toki
Heroes don't die, but that's all.
[11:11] Toki
Yeah, hi! Four-eyes here!
[11:14] Hem
Y—
[11:14] Gurobi
You!
[11:16] Toki
Shh! I came here in secret.
[11:18] Kamilto
What do you want?
[11:20] Toki
You know I've never really gotten
along with that jerk, right?
[11:24] Kamilto
Y-Yes...
[11:26] Kamilto
Come to think of it, you didn't
seem fond of each other.
[11:29] Kamilto
What, then? Are you selling him out?
[11:31] Toki
Now that it's just the two of us,
[11:33] Toki
it's been even worse than before.
[11:36] Toki
If you're willing to capture him,
I'll tell you where he sleeps.
[11:40] Toki
How about it? You could leave right now.
[11:43] Gurobi
We can't trust you.
[11:45] Hem
You're probably planning to free the
convicts while we're away from the wagon.
[11:49] Toki
Then why don't you come with me
first to see where he's sleeping?
[11:54] Kamilto
No, going there and coming
back first would waste time.
[11:57] Gurobi
What should we do, then?
[12:00] Kamilto
Hem and I will go and capture him.
[12:02] Kamilto
Gurobi, stay and keep watch.
[12:04] Both
Yes, sir!
[12:05] Kamilto
If she's lying, we'll just take her prisoner.
[12:09] Kamilto
All right?
[12:09] Toki
Of course. Let me show you the way.
[12:12] Toki
Two against one, huh?
[12:14] Toki
Oh, boy. They fell for it.
[12:17] Kamilto
Bring me a rope.
[12:18] Gurobi
At once, sir!
[12:20] Toki
Don't blame me.

SIGN If a player attacks a human, it is considered
unjustifiable self-defense against humans.
(This is not the case if the human attacks the
player first.)
The player is then penalized with a reduction
in experience points, which may cause their
rank to drop. It is possible for a player's rank to
fall below 1, meaning a negative rank.
[12:28] Kamilto
Well? How much longer?
[12:31] Toki
It's just up ahead.
[12:32] Toki
We'll be there in another minute or so.
[12:34] Kamilto
Very well. One minute, then.
[12:41] Kamilto
And now?
[12:42] Toki
Soon.
[12:43] Toki
We'll be there in about thirty seconds.
[12:53] Kamilto
Hem, go take a look.
[12:55] Hem
Yes, sir.
[12:59] Toki
Well, I've probably dragged
them far enough away.
[13:05] Hem
Captain...
[13:06] Hem
I didn't see anything up ahead.
[13:13] Kamilto
So you were lying.
[13:15] Kamilto
When we reach Radodorbo,
[13:16] Kamilto
I'll tie weights to you and
throw you into the sea!
[13:18] Kamilto
You can spend eternity there!
[13:22] Hem
What's that?
[13:27] Yotsuya
Welcome back...
[13:29] Yotsuya
and I'm terribly sorry.
[13:32] Yotsuya
You two are hereby relieved of duty.
[13:37] Yotsuya
Return to your homeland.
[13:41] Kamilto
The Arteros believers...
[13:43] Kamilto
Did you kill them?! Even the child?!
[13:52] Toki
You look so confused!
[13:54] Toki
The part about Kahvel-san
and her two men dying
[13:56] Toki
and the other two heroes falling
in a hole was true...
[14:00] Toki
but everything from Yotsuya-kun's
conversion to Arteros onward was a lie!
[14:05] Kamilto
What?!
[14:06] Yotsuya
You see...
[14:08] Yotsuya
We're only here to mess with
you in the name of revenge.
[14:14] Yotsuya
For our five fallen allies.
[14:17] Yotsuya
Now, the last survivor...
[14:21] Kamilto
S-Stop it! Stop!
[14:23] Yotsuya
This is the end for the missionary.
[14:32] Hem
He soaked him in oil?!
[14:34] Kamilto
He's burning him alive!
[14:36] Yotsuya
While I'm at it...
[14:38] Yotsuya
I think I'll set your
horse's ass on fire, too!
[14:47] Kamilto
What?!
[14:48] Hem
We must go after—
[14:49] Hem
No, if we leave the heroes here alone...
[14:53] Toki
Burn through it!
[14:54] Toki

[15:29] Yotsuya
Are they coming?
[15:30] Toki
They sure are.
[15:32] Toki
It'd be all over if they
checked the bodies, huh?
[15:44] (Flashback) Guy
Sir, there seems to be quite
a lot of noise outside.
[15:48] (Flashback) Fofcel
What's going on?
[15:52] (Flashback) Guy
The hero?!
[15:53] (Flashback) Yotsuya
Take off your clothes! Hurry!
[15:55] (Flashback) Fofcel
Huh?!
[15:57] (Flashback) Yotsuya
We're going to save you.
[16:03] (Flashback) Yotsuya
Perfect.
[16:06] Yotsuya
Now they'll write that Kahvel-san and
the others from Cortonel are dead,
[16:10] Yotsuya
and that we heroes interfered
with them to get revenge.
[16:14] Yotsuya
So the relationship between Cortonel and
Deokk will remain unchanged, at least.
[16:19] Yotsuya
In fact, Kamilto...
[16:23] Kamilto
Our refusal to let them accompany us
[16:25] Kamilto
and trapping them in the
ruins led us to this!
[16:28] Kamilto
I can't face King Deokk now!
[16:32] Yotsuya
...is drowning in despair over his
own lapse in judgment right now.
[16:38] Toki
I'm not sure if I should be impressed...
[16:40] Toki
He's definitely not the kind
of guy I'd want as a friend.
[16:42] Toki
I'd want him as an enemy even less, though.
[16:51] Shindou
It's been three days and we haven't
come across a single wagon.
[16:55] Makuah
If we follow the main road,
we're sure to find a settlement.
[16:59] Makuah
And if we find one,
we're sure to find merchants, too.
[17:03] Hako
Even if we do, there's no guarantee
we'll find cargo bound for Radodorbo.
[17:09] Shindou
Four days and three hours left...
[17:12] Shindou
I hope everything's going
okay for the other two.
[17:23] Yotsuya
I found a cave down there.
[17:30] Belili
Oh! Great Heroes!
[17:32] Toki
Hey, I see the boy regained consciousness.
[17:35] Fofcel
Yes, just now.
[17:38] Toki
So, um...
[17:40] Toki
Belili-kun, right?
[17:42] Belili
Yes, that's right.
[17:43] Belili
They told me you saved my life.
[17:46] Belili
Thank you so much,
[17:49] Belili
pretty hero lady!
[17:56] Toki
W-Well, you're very welcome!
[18:07] Toki
Okay, just calm down!
[18:10] Toki
I am not into all that shota stuff!
[18:16] Toki
But man... I never imagined
that plan would really work.
[18:21] (Flashback) Yotsuya
What we'll need in advance is
dolls to represent three people.
[18:24] (Flashback) Yotsuya
We can sew together cloth sacks and
unused clothing to make them.
[18:28] (Flashback) Toki
But if they look at the faces,
they'll know they're fake.
[18:31] (Flashback) Yotsuya
We'll make it look like we
put bags over their heads.
[18:33] (Flashback) Yotsuya
Then, if we tie ropes around their necks...
[18:36] (Flashback) Yotsuya
It'll look like we hanged them.
[18:39] (Flashback) Toki
Uh...
[18:40] (Flashback) Yotsuya
If we can mix a real human in with them,
[18:43] (Flashback) Yotsuya
it'll make these bodies look more real...
[18:47] (Flashback) Kahvel
I understand your plan.
[18:49] (Flashback) Kahvel
I must prepare for departure.
[18:56] (Flashback) Toki
But if we do this, won't it mean
killing a human character for real?
[19:01] (Flashback) Toki
You haven't actually done that
all this time, have you?
[19:04] (Flashback) Yotsuya
Yeah, I'm a little worried about how
much it'll affect my experience...
[19:08] (Flashback) Toki
No, that's not my point.
[19:11] (Flashback) Toki
I mean... do you really think
this world is a game?
[19:15] (Flashback) Toki
If it's real, wouldn't that be really bad?
[19:17] (Flashback) Yotsuya
Well... I guess?
[19:19] (Flashback) Yotsuya
I mean, yeah, if it's a game, the AI they
gave the NPCs is insanely advanced...
[19:24] (Flashback) Yotsuya
But look at us.
[19:27] (Flashback) Yotsuya
See? We have a sense of pain,
but we barely feel any.
[19:31] (Flashback) Yotsuya
I don't know if it's just futuristic
technology, like the Game Master said,
[19:37] (Flashback) Yotsuya
but ultimately, it's well-made enough
that we'd mistake it for reality.
[19:42] (Flashback) Yotsuya
I mean, we can pull weapons and
armor out of thin air, too.
[19:48] (Flashback) Yotsuya
Isn't that enough to convince
you that it's not real?
[19:51] (Flashback) Toki
Well... not like it matters to me,
since I'm not the one who'll be doing it...
[19:56] Yotsuya
Okay, we achieved our goal
of rescuing the prisoners.
[20:01] Yotsuya
Now if Kahvel-san can pull
off her part of the plan,
[20:04] Yotsuya
we can avoid war, just like she wanted.
[20:07] Toki
Hey...
[20:09] Toki
Even if this is a virtual game world,
[20:13] Toki
is it really worth killing
someone to stop a war?
[20:15] Yotsuya
That's even more reason to do it.
[20:17] Yotsuya
It'll be the same world from the
fifth quest stage onward, you know.
[20:21] Yotsuya
And more importantly, it was a request
from a friend. Who could refuse?
[20:26] Toki
Huh?
[20:27] Yotsuya
What? You do realize...
[20:29] Yotsuya
one of our friends was already killed.
[20:32] Yotsuya
So wouldn't you kill his killer?
[20:34] Toki
What?!
[20:35] Toki
Whoa! You're the last person I want to hear
that kind of friends-first logic from!
[20:42] Toki
I mean... if someone killed my favorite
character in one of my games,
[20:46] Toki
I'd totally kill whoever killed them...
[20:48] Toki
But if that's how you feel...
[20:51] Toki
What are the three of us to you?
[20:54] Yotsuya
What do you mean?
[20:57] Yotsuya
Like... say there's a bus.
[20:59] Toki
A bus?
[21:00] Yotsuya
It's about to fall off a cliff,
[21:03] Yotsuya
and depending on how the weight of
the passengers is distributed,
[21:05] Yotsuya
it'll fall and they'll all die.
[21:08] Yotsuya
We just happen to be four
of those passengers.
[21:11] Toki
That analogy sucks!
[21:12] Toki
It's exactly like that, though!
[21:14] Yotsuya
Tokitate-san, are you forgetting
that your own life is on the line?
[21:23] Yotsuya
I'm saying we can't afford to
worry ourselves over the lives
[21:28] Yotsuya
of characters in a game.
