**[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?

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] ---**
