[01:10] ---
    Hey, this is great! All these posters!
[01:13] ---
    And they're playing
    the opening theme song over there!
[01:16] ---
    Hey, Eita,
[01:16] ---
    EVIL DEE METAL'S SUPER RECOVERY
    LIVER, GARLIC, AND CHIVES RICE BOWL
    FLAVORED WITH GARLIC AND GINGER
    YOU'LL REGAIN LOTS OF HP
[01:18] ---
    the menu's pretty cool too.
[01:20] ---
    They're all named
    after the dungeon bosses.
[01:23] ---
    Some are real blasts from the past!
[01:25] ---
    Hey! Talk about eagle eyes, Mr. Kamota!
[01:28] ---
    Let me see! Let me see!
[01:30] ---
    And they actually look good!
[01:31] ---
    What's everyone having?
[01:33] ---
    Uh-oh.
[01:34] ---
    I know Yamada and Rurihime,
[01:37] ---
    but who is this old guy
    and the one wearing glasses?
[01:37] ---
    Scorching Hot Salamander Curry!
[01:40] ---
    That brings back memories!
[01:42] ---
    Are you into spicy foods, Eita?
[01:44] ---
    Actually, I love sweets!
[01:48] ---
    They look like they're having a blast.
[01:51] ---
    Rurihime...
[01:53] ---
    who are those two?
    They're in our guild, right?
[01:57] ---
    That's Mr. Kamota and Eita.
[01:59] ---
    Huh?
[02:00] ---
    Uh, right. Can you tell me
    a little more about them?
[02:05] ---
    By the way,
    my character name isn't Rurihime.
[02:10] ---
    And I'm actually wondering
    who you are.
[03:45] ---
    Huh?
[03:46] ---
    ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH YAMADA?
[03:48] ---
    Um, what do you mean?
[03:52] ---
    What is this? Why are you
    sitting in on our guild's meetup?
[03:56] ---
    What? You're Rurihime, right?
[04:00] ---
    I told you I'm not.
[04:01] ---
    But...
[04:02] ---
    Never mind me. Who are you?
[04:06] ---
    Hold on a second.
[04:08] ---
    Then where's Rurihime?
[04:10] ---
    - Rurihime...
    - I just said—
[04:12] ---
    Eita, shouldn't we introduce ourselves
    before we order?
[04:18] ---
    LOOKS DELICIOUS, HUH...
[04:19] ---
    You have a point there!
[04:21] ---
    Sorry about that, Akanecchi!
[04:23] ---
    Once again...
[04:26] ---
    Eita Sakaki, age 19.
[04:28] ---
    Hobby: online gaming.
[04:29] ---
    I'm the one who plays Rurihime!
[04:32] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[04:33] ---
    Akanecchi!
[04:39] ---
    Ne...
[04:40] ---
    "Nekama" means...
[04:40] ---
    "NEKAMA" MEANS...
[04:42] ---
    a guy posing as a woman online,
[04:44] ---
    where his true appearance
    and identity remain unknown,
[04:48] ---
    the actual person posing as a woman,
    or the act of doing so.
[04:51] ---
    It's an abbreviation
    of the term "net okama,"
[04:54] ---
    which has been in use
[04:55] ---
    since the pre-Internet days
    of online communications.
[04:58] ---
    Ne...ka...
[04:59] ---
    You couldn't be more wrong!
[05:02] ---
    I am a gear that moves my muse,
    who descended upon the cyberspace sea.
[05:06] ---
    In other words, Rurihime and I
    are one and the same
[05:09] ---
    and yet totally different!
[05:11] ---
    I'm loathe to describe this unique state
    with a cheap term like "Nekama,"
[05:15] ---
    or should I say
    it's not as simple as that?
[05:17] ---
    I mean, in the 2D world,
[05:19] ---
    Rurihime and I are, if anything,
    bound by a common destiny.
[05:22] ---
    Like, she's my goddess, my mother,
    my bride, and my alter ego?
[05:26] ---
    When a guy starts using
    a female character,
[05:28] ---
    they cry "Nekama! Nekama!"
    but what do they know?
[05:30] ---
    In that regard, Rurihime and I have
    a more creative kind of relationship, see?
[05:32] ---
    Eita...
[05:34] ---
    Not that this is easy
    for most people to understand,
[05:36] ---
    but what I'm trying to say is—
[05:37] ---
    Eita...
[05:38] ---
    YOU'RE A MAN...
[05:39] ---
    Not everyone's as enthusiastic as you.
[05:42] ---
    Hey, I gave you my number
[05:44] ---
    and turned to you
    for advice about being dumped!
[05:46] ---
    Calm down, Akanecchi. It's all good.
[05:49] ---
    Because that wasn't me. It was Rurihime.
[05:51] ---
    What does that even mean?
[05:51] ---
    OH, NO! OH, NO!
[05:53] ---
    Um...
[05:54] ---
    I'm Takezo Kamota.
[05:56] ---
    My character name is takezo,
    spelled out in English.
[05:59] ---
    I'M A STRAWBERRY FARMER.
[06:00] ---
    I'm usually grinding in the dungeons,
    so we've never met as characters.
[06:05] ---
    And this young girl is Runa.
[06:08] ---
    She's Eita's younger sister
    and the model for Rurihime.
[06:14] ---
    How creepy is it to base your character
    on your own kid sister?
[06:19] ---
    And that's Akito Yamada.
[06:22] ---
    Wait, you two already
    know each other, right?
[06:25] ---
    Huh? What does that mean?
    You know each other?
[06:29] ---
    What are you two?
    How do you know each other, exactly?
[06:32] ---
    Huh? Uh, actually...
[06:34] ---
    STARE...
[06:37] ---
    It's too complicated to explain.
[06:39] ---
    It's a long story, so—
[06:41] ---
    No, it's not!
    We met at an event, that's all!
[06:41] ---
    TOO MUCH TROUBLE...
[06:44] ---
    In a nutshell, yeah.
[06:48] ---
    Well, it's not like
    I wasn't starting to realize...
[06:55] ---
    THIS WOMAN... IS AN EYESORE...
[06:55] ---
    GRRR GRRR GRRR
[06:56] ---
    I knew it, she totally hates me!
[07:01] ---
    Oh, but...
[07:04] ---
    I see.
[07:06] ---
    It was you and Eita
    that I saw in the game.
[07:11] ---
    I mean, you were kind of flirting,
    so I thought you were a couple!
[07:15] ---
    He was an upperclassman back home,
[07:17] ---
    so when he's totally in character,
    I've got to play along.
[07:20] ---
    Yamada!
[07:21] ---
    FLIRT FLIRT FLIRT
[07:22] ---
    X FLIRT FLIRT FLIRT
[07:23] ---
    Flirt, flirt! Flirt, flirt!
[07:23] ---
    X FLIRT FLIRT FLIRT
    O HIERARCHY
[07:25] ---
    Upperclassman's orders.
[07:26] ---
    I see. That must be tough.
[07:33] ---
    You told me before that you
    didn't have a girlfriend...
[07:37] ---
    so I thought it was a lie.
[07:40] ---
    I wouldn't lie about something like that.
[07:44] ---
    Right! Of course you wouldn't.
[07:46] ---
    I'm so glad!
[07:50] ---
    Wait...
[07:53] ---
    What did I just say?
[07:58] ---
    You're so glad?
[08:02] ---
    "I'm so glad"?
[08:03] ---
    Is that what you just said?
[08:06] ---
    Just what did you mean by "glad"?
[08:13] ---
    Akane, could it be...
[08:16] ---
    are you in love with Yamada?
[08:21] ---
    N-No...
[08:23] ---
    Sorry, Akanecchi!
[08:25] ---
    Not only is my sister
    super territorial,
[08:27] ---
    she's in the throes
    of adolescent rebellion,
[08:28] ---
    SHE'S SUCH A HANDFUL
[08:29] ---
    so she can be really abrasive!
[08:31] ---
    Really, now! We can't have that, Runa.
[08:33] ---
    That's so rude,
    talking to an older girl like that—
[08:35] ---
    Oh, no, it's totally fine, all right?
[08:37] ---
    If you act like that, you're going
    to have a hard time in life!
[08:40] ---
    Back off, Nekama.
[08:41] ---
    I'm not a Nekama! I'm a romanticist!
[08:43] ---
    Shut up.
[08:44] ---
    Please don't fight.
[08:46] ---
    Uh, does everyone know what they want?
[08:50] ---
    What should I order?
[08:50] ---
    CAN'T MAKE UP
    MY MIND!
[08:53] ---
    What a shock.
[09:11] ---
    Should we get someone to take our—
[09:14] ---
    Oh!
[09:16] ---
    Are you okay, Akane?
[09:18] ---
    I-I'm so sorry! It slipped out of my hand!
[09:21] ---
    Are you hurt? Let's call someone over!
[09:23] ---
    It's fine! I can do it.
[09:30] ---
    You could hurt yourself,
    so we should let the staff handle it.
[09:38] ---
    I-I guess you're right.
[09:43] ---
    Excuse me! We broke a glass over here!
[09:48] ---
    This is crazy.
    I mean, I didn't see that coming.
[09:54] ---
    What am I going to do?
[09:55] ---
    I just know my face's red!
[09:58] ---
    Should I run to the restroom?
    Would that be unnatural?
[10:02] ---
    But I've got to pull myself together fast.
[10:05] ---
    Uh, excuse me.
    I'm going to go make a call.
[10:09] ---
    Sure.
[10:09] ---
    Oh, what are you having?
    I'll order for you.
[10:13] ---
    Please go ahead and order first.
[10:21] ---
    Thank goodness.
[10:23] ---
    Are you all right?
[10:24] ---
    Oh, yes.
[10:27] ---
    Sorry! I think I feel the call of nature.
[10:30] ---
    So he's Rurihime, huh?
[10:30] ---
    YE-UP
[10:33] ---
    She's still staring at me!
[10:35] ---
    Enjoy!
[10:37] ---
    Thank you very much.
[10:39] ---
    Feel better now?
[10:40] ---
    Yes! Sorry to cause a commotion.
[10:43] ---
    So glad that you didn't hurt yourself.
[10:45] ---
    Thank you so much!
[10:47] ---
    Mr. Kamota's so nice!
[10:50] ---
    Since this is your first offline meetup,
    Akane, we were all looking forward to it.
[10:55] ---
    No one told me about it,
    and I'm not having fun.
[10:59] ---
    Have you all known each other long?
[11:01] ---
    The four of us met in a previous game.
[11:05] ---
    We started playing FOS
    when Eita asked us to.
[11:08] ---
    Runa here hardly ever logs in, though.
    We see her maybe once every three months?
[11:12] ---
    I see.
[11:13] ---
    MMO is a drag.
[11:14] ---
    So aside from me, everyone
    at this meetup knows each other.
[11:16] ---
    Eita was so excited about today,
[11:18] ---
    saying there was a lovely person that he
    couldn't wait to welcome into our guild.
[11:23] ---
    Hey! You're not going after
    my brother too, are you?
[11:25] ---
    No, I am not!
[11:32] ---
    I thought you never lied.
[11:35] ---
    But you lied about making a call.
[11:41] ---
    What happened?
[11:43] ---
    Somehow...
[11:45] ---
    I got the feeling that I
    should vanish from her sight.
[11:48] ---
    You stay away from me.
[11:50] ---
    She was giving off that kind of aura.
[11:53] ---
    So that's how you interpreted it.
[11:56] ---
    I think what Runa said to her
    really upset her.
[12:00] ---
    If you ask me, I think Akanecchi
    was just a little embarrassed.
[12:03] ---
    Why would she be embarrassed?
[12:04] ---
    Don't make me say it.
[12:06] ---
    But I won't know what it is
    unless you say it.
[12:09] ---
    Well, that's the kind of guy you are.
[12:12] ---
    Not that I mind.
[12:13] ---
    Still, real-life Akanecchi
    sure is pretty, huh?
[12:17] ---
    You said she was just like her character,
    so I thought she'd be more childish.
[12:23] ---
    Yamada!
[12:24] ---
    Yamada!
[12:25] ---
    - Yamada!
    - Yamada!
[12:27] ---
    She's totally like that, though.
[12:28] ---
    Huh?
[12:30] ---
    Come on,
    she's nothing like that character!
[12:32] ---
    You think?
[12:33] ---
    I mean, the female characters in FOS
    are all the little-girl type, anyway.
[12:37] ---
    Well, it's not like I can tell
    the difference between girls.
[12:40] ---
    You're never going to find yourself
    a girlfriend with that kind of attitude.
[12:47] ---
    Isn't giving me a hard time
    about not having a girlfriend getting old?
[12:51] ---
    It used to be fun, but these days,
    I'm starting to worry.
[12:57] ---
    Your indifference towards girls
    is abnormal.
[13:04] ---
    Yeah.
[13:13] ---
    Did you feel sorry for me?
[13:31] ---
    Did you?
[13:42] ---
    Goodbye.
[13:52] ---
    Thank you very much!
[13:55] ---
    All right, that's it for now!
[13:57] ---
    There's a guild battle tonight,
    so let's meet up again online!
[14:01] ---
    - Okay!
    - Okay!
[14:03] ---
    Sorry I can't walk you home, Akanecchi!
[14:03] ---
    KYURU
[14:06] ---
    If only I didn't have to head to work now.
[14:08] ---
    And you got lost earlier.
    That worries Ruri!
[14:10] ---
    I'll be fine.
[14:14] ---
    What's wrong, Runa?
[14:16] ---
    Glaring like that...
[14:18] ---
    Runa doesn't like her.
[14:20] ---
    Clinging onto Yamada and my brother...
[14:21] ---
    I'LL TEXT YOU LATER
[14:24] ---
    she's like a bitch.
[14:26] ---
    Bi—
[14:26] ---
    Oh, dear!
    Where'd you hear such a word, Runa?
[14:30] ---
    It's always been
    the four of us playing together.
[14:32] ---
    Why should we let that girl in now?
[14:36] ---
    I'm going to kick her out of our guild
    if it's the last thing I do.
[14:47] ---
    Hmm.
[14:48] ---
    Hey! We're headed in the same direction,
    so let's go home together!
[14:52] ---
    So I blurted that out impulsively,
    but the conversation's not taking off.
[14:58] ---
    Hey, Yamada.
[15:00] ---
    Yes?
[15:01] ---
    Do you guys hang out together
    like this sometimes?
[15:04] ---
    Yes.
[15:04] ---
    Really? So you all get along, huh?
[15:07] ---
    I guess so.
[15:08] ---
    Oh, hey! Eita sure is a fun guy, huh?
[15:11] ---
    Yes.
[15:12] ---
    THE END
[15:14] ---
    I HEAR A FENCE
    WENT UP NEXT DOOR...
[15:14] ---
    Um...
[15:14] ---
    OH...
[15:22] ---
    GLANCE GLANCE
[15:27] ---
    Huh? Huh?
[15:30] ---
    Whoa.
[15:32] ---
    Ouch.
[15:34] ---
    Are you all right?
[15:35] ---
    Sorry.
[15:36] ---
    You should switch places with me.
[15:38] ---
    What? It's all right. I couldn't do that.
[15:40] ---
    It's fine.
[15:41] ---
    Thanks.
[15:43] ---
    Huh?
[15:47] ---
    Oh.
[15:49] ---
    Ah, it's him.
[15:51] ---
    Whoa. For a second, I thought
    they were staring at me.
[15:54] ---
    HOW EMBARRASSING...
[15:57] ---
    Well, I was taken aback
    by his good looks at first too.
[16:01] ---
    ...are you in love with Yamada?
[16:06] ---
    Is that what it looked like to her?
[16:10] ---
    Not good! Not good!
[16:11] ---
    Yamada's a valued online gamer friend!
[16:13] ---
    Oh, hey, Yamada,
    what are you having for dinner?
[16:15] ---
    START-A-CONVERSATION CHALLENGE REDUX
[16:16] ---
    Well, I'm not that hungry.
[16:18] ---
    You're not?
[16:19] ---
    Pudding or something.
[16:21] ---
    What, are you serious?
[16:23] ---
    THICK PUDDING
[16:24] ---
    That will be 128 yen.
[16:28] ---
    Thank you very much!
[16:29] ---
    Um, so you were
    being serious just now?
[16:33] ---
    Yes.
[16:35] ---
    - Do you live alone, Yamada?
    - Yes.
[16:38] ---
    And you don't cook at home?
[16:39] ---
    Not at all.
[16:41] ---
    What? Then what do you eat every day?
[16:44] ---
    I buy food from convenience stores
    and stuff.
[16:48] ---
    Oh, really?
[16:49] ---
    Yamada's a high school student, right?
[16:54] ---
    Doesn't his mom say anything about that?
[16:57] ---
    But I shouldn't really pry
    into someone's family life.
[17:02] ---
    Hmm.
[17:04] ---
    Hey! Yamada!
[17:05] ---
    Do you have a little time now?
[17:06] ---
    Yes.
[17:07] ---
    Fifteen... no, ten minutes!
    Wait here for ten minutes, will you?
[17:10] ---
    I'll be right back!
[17:27] ---
    Ten minutes.
[17:30] ---
    But she seemed so down...
[17:34] ---
    Yamada! Long time no see!
[17:40] ---
    People do bounce back, then, I guess.
[18:07] ---
    Yamada!
[18:11] ---
    Th-Thanks for waiting!
[18:14] ---
    Huh?
[18:20] ---
    Hey, are you okay?
[18:22] ---
    Oh, man. I haven't run like my life
    depended on it... since high school.
[18:27] ---
    What's in these big bags?
[18:30] ---
    Oh, this here's curry!
[18:34] ---
    I'm pretty sure
    you don't cook rice at home,
[18:36] ---
    so I brought some frozen rice too.
[18:39] ---
    I just made this curry this morning,
    so it'll be good for at least two days.
[18:41] ---
    THANK GOODNESS
    IT DIDN'T LEAK
[18:43] ---
    Since I'm strapped for cash this month,
    there's not much meat in it.
[18:47] ---
    But to make up for that...
[18:48] ---
    TAKE IT AWAY, THIEF
[18:49] ---
    I'm giving you the salad
    and pickled veggies
[18:49] ---
    HOLD UP
    HOLD UP
[18:51] ---
    I just bought at the convenience store!
[18:52] ---
    No. Uh...
[18:54] ---
    I wouldn't feel right about that,
    so it's okay.
[18:56] ---
    You did just say money's tight too.
[18:58] ---
    You have to eat right,
    or you won't grow up!
[18:59] ---
    I'M PACKING THEM
[19:00] ---
    Well, but...
[19:02] ---
    Pudding is for dessert!
[19:04] ---
    Well, yeah, but...
[19:04] ---
    I'M PACKING THIS TOO
[19:06] ---
    From one guildmate to another!
[19:09] ---
    But...
[19:13] ---
    That's your phone ringing.
[19:15] ---
    Oh, it's mine?
[19:17] ---
    Wonder who it is? Momo, maybe?
[19:22] ---
    Huh? I don't know this number.
[19:26] ---
    Yes? Hello?
[19:26] ---
    THE SCENT OF CURRY...
[19:29] ---
    Oh, um...
[19:33] ---
    This is Runa.
[19:36] ---
    Runa? Hey, what's up?
[19:39] ---
    I got your number from my brother.
    Sorry I didn't ask you.
[19:43] ---
    That's okay!
[19:45] ---
    I'm sorry for being so rude to you
    when you came just to meet us.
[19:51] ---
    My brother told me to apologize too.
[19:53] ---
    What? I don't mind at all!
[19:56] ---
    Who doesn't get nervous meeting
    people for the first time?
[20:00] ---
    So if you want,
    I'd like to hang out again.
[20:06] ---
    Next time, I want to do it right
    and get closer to you.
[20:10] ---
    Runa...
[20:14] ---
    Okay!
[20:16] ---
    Sure.
[20:18] ---
    Next Saturday, right?
    Yes, sounds good!
[20:21] ---
    Sure! I'm looking forward to it too!
[20:25] ---
    Bye!
[20:27] ---
    I'm going to hang out with Runa!
[20:29] ---
    Uh, right. I could hear.
[20:32] ---
    I thought she couldn't stand me,
    so this makes me happy.
[20:36] ---
    I wonder what Runa's like in-game?
[20:40] ---
    Do you know, Yamada?
[20:41] ---
    A little.
[20:41] ---
    What's her Job Class,
    and what does she use?
[20:43] ---
    Is she a Wizard, maybe?
[20:45] ---
    I'd love to see her sometime!
[20:47] ---
    What level is she, I wonder?
[20:51] ---
    That's great.
[20:52] ---
    Yeah! I'm going to add
    Runa's number to my contacts!
[21:07] ---
    She said Saturday, right?
[21:11] ---
    RUNA SASAKI
    TUTORING JOB
[21:12] ---
    Runa Sasaki, tutoring job.
[21:17] ---
    That's what I thought.
[21:23] ---
    Maybe I heard her wrong.
[22:57] ---
