    How do you make it to the finals
     only to get swept?
[00:10] Akito
    By an opponent we beat
    in the first round, no less!
[00:13] Yu
    I can't believe they defeated us so easily.
[00:16] Shun
    Yeah.
[00:17] Shun
    We were helpless against Mutsuki-kun.
[00:20] Nozomi
    Hey, no more pouting.
[00:23] Nozomi
    It was kind of inevitable.
    They're pros, remember?
[00:27] Yu
    That's right. Let's change our perspective.
[00:30] Yu
    We just have to beat them next time.
[00:33] Shun
    I'm not sure I'll have a next time...
[00:36] Nozomi
    I told you, no pouting!
[00:40] Nozomi
    Eat, sleep, and forget all about it.
[00:42] Nozomi
    Take a shower, too.
[00:44] Shun
    That's all stressful to me, though.
[00:47] Nozomi
    Just do it!
[00:49] Shun
    R-Right.
[00:53] Sota
    I have a message for all of you.
[00:56] Sota
    Unfortunately, because we didn't win,
[00:59] Sota
    I wasn't able to pay off esports cafe
    Fox One's debts with the prize money.
[01:06] Akito
    You mean...
[01:08] Ryusei
    The team's disbanded?
[01:12] Sota
    But wait!
[01:14] Sota
    I was able to use the runner-up prize money
    to pay the installments for a while!
[01:17] Sota
    Which means Fox One is still in business!
[01:22] All
    Yeah!

    Back then, I didn't really fit in anywhere.
[04:46] Yu
    Not at school. Not at home.
[04:49] Yu
    I dropped out of school due to bullying.
[04:53] Yu
    I holed up at home. My parents
    didn't know what to do with me.
[05:00] Yu
    I escaped into the world of the internet.
[05:04] Yu

    She was in an accident and can't walk.
[07:07] Shun
    It happened three years ago.
[07:10] Shun
    We don't have much money.
[07:12] Shun
    I need a stable job
    so I can look after my sister.
[07:17] Shun
    In other words, I can't get into something

    What did you expect?
[08:14] Shun
    We're just a ragtag bunch of amateurs.
[08:17] Mio
    This isn't like you.
[08:19] Mio

[08:36] Satomi
    It's a rehab center.
[08:38] Shun
    Rehab?
[08:39] Satomi
    It's a little far,
    but it has all the latest facilities.
[08:44] Satomi
    I think it might help Mio walk again.
[08:49] Shun
    Really, Mom?!
[08:50] Satomi
    But it's very expensive.
[08:53] Satomi
    Insurance won't cover it,
    and it'll likely require a long stay.
[08:57] Mio
    I don't need that place.
[08:59] Mio
    I know we can't afford it.
[09:00] Satomi
    But for the sake of your future—
[09:03] Mio
    It'll mean you two have
    to work even more, right?
[09:08] Shun
    Mio...
[09:10] Mio
    You're already pushing yourselves so hard.
[09:12] Mio
    I don't want you to push even harder
    and hurt yourselves.
[09:15] Shun
    We're not pushing that hard.
[09:17] Mio
    Yes, you are!

    Besides, how exactly is this talking strategy?
[10:53] Akito
    I've got a surprise for Mio-chan!

[11:23] Akito
    Well, well?! Aren't I awesome?

[11:35] Ryusei
    Aren't you usually a lot more blunt?
[11:39] Mio
    Daneko-san?
[11:42] Mio
    No way. Is this... all of Fox One?
[11:47] Mio
    Does that mean Yu is Phantom Ninja?
[11:50] Yu
    Don't spread it around.
[11:53] Mio
    Onii-chan, why didn't you tell me?
[11:55] Shun
    Well, Yu wouldn't join the team
    unless we kept it secret...
[12:00] Mio
    That's so mean!
[12:01] Mio
    Were you talking to Yu
    all this time without telling me?!
[12:04] Shun
    Well, I wouldn't say...
[12:06] Mio
    Whatever! I hate you, you jerk!
[12:10] Yu
    Wait, does this mean...
[12:15] Yu
    Sorry.
[12:17] Yu

    keeping his promise to me.

    Well, Shun, let's head out
    with Mio-chan like we planned.
[12:31] Shun
    Thanks, I appreciate it.
[12:32] Yu
    Yes! Now I can talk to Shun all day too!
[12:49] Mio
    You're so famous, Yu-san. Is it okay
    for you to walk around unmasked?
[12:54] Yu
    You'd be surprised
    how little people recognize me.
[12:56] Shun
    You came up with quite a disguise
    for your tryouts, though.
[12:59] Yu
    Oh, gosh! Don't say that, silly Shun!
[13:02] Ryusei
    Wow, gross. That's freaky.
    The real Yu would never.

    Boy, what a treat!
[14:18] Ryusei
    Boy, I love the footbath!
[14:20] Shun
    Really?
[14:22] Akito
    Does your hatred of bathing
     extend to footbaths?
[14:25] Shun
    Getting in the bath tires me out.
[14:28] Akito
    Sounds like you stay in too long.
[14:31] Yu
    I'm so jealous.
[14:35] Nozomi
    What do you mean?
[14:37] Yu
    Having IRL childhood friends.
[14:38] Yu
    I didn't have friends in school.
[14:41] Mio
    You didn't?
[14:43] Yu
    Yeah. So I envy you guys.

    What? You're not dating?
[14:52] Nozomi
    No way!

    Yeah, really.

    The one famous with couples.
[15:14] Akito
    Sounds great! Let's get going to that shrine!
[15:34] Yu
    Please let Shun and I get closer!
[15:38] Shun
    Mio, did you know?
[15:40] Shun
    The gods respond to the spoken word,
[15:42] Shun
    so you have to say your wish aloud
    or they won't hear it.
[15:46] Yu
    I can't say that out loud!
[15:50] Mio
    I hope my brother can be happy.
[15:56] Shun
    I hope Mio will be happy forever.

[16:26] sign
    No Luck
[16:26] Yu
    No luck?!
[16:28] Yu
    I should've said my wish out loud.

    Hey, I got bad luck!
[16:33] Nozomi
    Shouldn't all of these have "great luck"?
[16:37] Akito
    I won't entrust my future
    to a silly fortune-telling game!
[16:42] Akito
    I'm gonna write my wish
    directly on an ema plaque!
[16:46] Shun
    Isn't asking the gods for something
[16:48] Shun
    still entrusting your future
     to outside forces?
[16:51] Akito
    Who cares as long as it comes true?
[16:54] Akito
    Our wish has gotta be...

    But...
[18:40] Mutsuki
    Three years ago,
    your playtime dropped to zero.
[18:43] Mutsuki
    A speeding car coming the other way
    crossed the line in a head-on collision.
[18:48] Mutsuki
    The driver was a foreigner.
    No license, no insurance.
[18:52] Mutsuki
    Your father was hospitalized and they tried
    to treat him, but he eventually passed away.
[18:57] Mutsuki
    Your little sister was miraculously saved
     and ultimately discharged,
[19:01] Mutsuki
    but her legs remained paralyzed
    and she can't walk.
[19:05] Mutsuki
    Caring for her, your mother couldn't work,
[19:08] Mutsuki
    which meant no income
    and an end to your insurance.
[19:10] Mutsuki
    Now your family's poor.
[19:13] Shun
    H-How do you—
[19:17] Mutsuki
    Well, I can see the future,
[19:19] Mutsuki
    so the past is a piece of cake.
[19:21] Mutsuki
    I looked through the news
    around the time you quit gaming
[19:25] Mutsuki
    and happened upon the accident.
[19:28] Mutsuki
    Comparing it to the social media
    of related persons,
[19:31] Mutsuki
    it's easy to connect the dots.
[19:34] Mutsuki
    Friends, acquaintances, neighbors...
[19:37] Mutsuki
    Your little sister's account was helpful too.
[19:41] Shun
    You...
[19:43] Mutsuki
    You were supposed to participate
    in a local volunteer program that day.
[19:49] Mutsuki
    But it was the day
    of the Xaxxerion tournament.
[19:53] Mutsuki
    You were so desperate to play in it,
[19:55] Mutsuki
    you had your sister take your place.
[19:57] Mutsuki
    Your father was in that accident
    driving her there.
[20:04] Mutsuki
    You feel like she got hurt in your stead,
[20:09] Mutsuki
    and to atone, you started focusing
     on work and studying.
[20:14] Shun
    Stop it.
[20:16] Mutsuki
    The pain was too much.
    You wanted to run away but couldn't.
[20:20] Mutsuki
    You wanted to be forgiven
    but couldn't forgive yourself.
[20:23] Shun
    Stop it.
[20:24] Mutsuki
    The only way to truly punish
    yourself was to give up gaming.
[20:30] Shun
    Stop it!
[20:32] Mutsuki
    I understand wanting to run from your guilt,
[20:37] Mutsuki
    but I think you're just deceiving yourself.
[20:41] Mutsuki
    Deceiving your sister, too.
[20:43] Shun
    Stop it!
[20:48] Mutsuki
    It's such a waste
[20:50] Mutsuki
    that you can't focus on your gaming.
[20:53] Mutsuki
    Your sister doesn't want that either.
[20:59] Mutsuki
    Just cast it all aside.
[21:04] Mutsuki
    Your education, your sister,
    everything holding you back.
[21:10] Mutsuki
    Everything will be easier then.
[21:12] Shun
    What are you—
[21:14] Mutsuki
    I live in a world of nothing but gaming.
[21:19] Mutsuki
    It's a wonderful place full of joy and fun.
[21:23] Mutsuki
    I think you'll like it too.
[21:30] Mutsuki
    Come along with me.
[21:39] Mutsuki
    Join me in my world.
