[00:15] Haga
    After our encounter with Gaydle,
[00:17] Haga
    we took Nikola-san, who was still asleep,
    to the neighboring Principality of Sai.
[00:23] Haga
    There we met Akira's comrades
[00:25] Haga
    and the young boy they looked up to
    as their leader, Alba-sama.
[00:30] Haga
    They greeted us with open arms.
[00:33] Haga
    Alba-sama tried to heal Nikola-san,
[00:35] Haga
    but it was Tesla-san who awoke.
[00:38] Haga
    It turns out Alba-sama is a meta AI, too.
[00:42] Nikola
    What are you planning?
[00:45] Nikola
    Let's hear it, Alba.
[00:48] Ren
    Tesla-sama!
[00:50] Ren
    Might I say something?
[00:53] Ren
    Alba-sama saved us debuggers from despair.
[00:58] Ren
    We're even sending people like Akira around
    the world to deal with the bad debuggers!
[01:05] Ren
    So, please... can't you come
     to accept our way of life?
[01:11] Alba
    You can do things your way, Big Sis.
[01:14] Alba
    This is my country!
[01:15] Alba
    You don't have any authority here!
[01:20] Alba
    O-Ow...
[01:23] Nikola
    Ren, was it? Prepare me a room.
[01:27] Nikola
    I'm tired.
[01:28] Nikola
    I'm going to rest.
[01:29] Haga
    O-Okay...
[03:03] Akira
    So there's a meta AI inside Nikola-chan?
[03:04] Sign
    The Diamond
[03:04] Sign
    The Diamond
[03:07] Akira
    That explains a lot.
[03:09] Akira
    But also, you should've told me!
[03:12] Akira
    We're friends, right?
[03:14] Haga
    S-Sorry...
[03:16] Amano
    Well, we've discussed
    enough today, haven't we?
[03:18] Amano
    So much has happened, and I'm pooped.
[03:22] Akira
    Welp, Haga-chan!
[03:24] Akira
    See you at the study group tomorrow!
[03:25] Haga
    Yes. Goodnight.
[03:38] Haga
    All right. Time to get some work done.
[03:41] Nikola
    Hey, there.
[03:42] Haga
    Tesla-san?! Why are you in my room?
[03:45] Nikola
    I need to tell you something.
[03:48] Haga
    Oh...
[03:49] Haga
    Is Nikola-san not going to wake up?
[03:54] Nikola
    I'm going to let her rest a little more.
[03:57] Nikola
    And I'm going to do the same.
[04:01] Nikola
    I didn't expect that I would personally
    take damage while inside an NPC vessel.
[04:06] Haga
    So you've been asleep
     for the past month, too?
[04:10] Nikola
    I was in a dark place.
[04:14] Nikola
    It felt like I was sinking
    into an endless lake.
[04:22] Nikola
    I survived by finding and eating faint lights.
[04:25] Haga
    Lights? Could she mean the food we gave her?
[04:28] Sign
    Eat up...
[04:30] Nikola
    Well, it's got nothing to do with you players.
[04:34] Nikola
    You don't need to report it.
[04:36] Nikola
    But there's something I do want you to report.
[04:42] Ren
    So you're a meta AI, Alba-sama?
[04:44] Akane
    What a surprise!
[04:47] Alba
    I didn't mean to hide it.
[04:50] Alba
    But I never found the right time to tell you.
[04:52] Ren
    Alba-sama, our loyalty remains unchanged.
[04:56] Ren
    Don't worry!
[04:57] Akane
    Same goes for me!
[04:59] Alba
    You guys...
[05:00] Ren
    If you desire it, we can eliminate them.
[05:05] Akira
    What are you saying, Ren?
[05:08] Ren
    What's the matter, Akira?
    Have you taken a liking to them?
[05:10] Akira
    Huh? They're not even that dangerous!
[05:14] Ren
    They wiped out everyone
    at Bayle Castle, didn't they?
[05:17] Ren
    We don't know for sure that
    they're not a threat.
[05:20] Akira
    There's no way—
[05:21] Alba
    Enough now.
[05:23] Alba
    Ren, calm down.
[05:25] Alba
    I'm not going to pick a fight
    with Tesla for no reason.
[05:29] Alba
    It's fine. There's nothing to worry about.
[05:33] Haga
    You want me to report Alba-sama?
[05:36] Nikola
    Correct.
[05:37] Nikola
    His operational methods
    leave something to be desired.
[05:42] Nikola
    Just note that something feels off and
    you're requesting that it be investigated.
[05:49] Nikola
    The developers can make the call.
[05:52] Haga
    Understood.
[05:54] Nikola
    Very good.
[05:57] Nikola
    I'm counting on you, Haga.
[06:02] Akira
    How could Ren say that about
    the guests I brought?
[06:06] Akane
    Now, now. He's just being cautious.
[06:09] Akane
    At times like this...

[06:11] Akane
    You have yourself some of Mazuna's
     famous fruit milk and cheer up!
[06:16] Akira
    Wow, thanks!
[06:18] Akane
    There's still plenty in the cafeteria.
[06:21] Akira
    Oh, right. Didn't I promise to get
     Haga-chan and the others some?
[06:29] Haga
    The meta AI in charge of the
    Principality of Sai, Alba,
[06:34] Haga
    seems to be aggressively
    interacting with players.
[06:41] Akane
    Heyo, Amanyan!
[06:43] Akira
    We brought the good stuff!
[06:44] Amane
    I was asleep, you know?
[06:48] Haga
    He appears to be taking a leadership role
    outside the scope of any debugging activities.
[06:58] Haga
    Just in case, I'd like to confirm
    whether this behavior is intended.
[07:02] Haga
    That should do it.
[07:03] Haga
    Now I just...

[07:34] Haga
    Where am I?
[07:43] Haga
    Three stun potions. Two sleeping drugs.
[07:46] Haga
    Ten packets of gunpowder.
[07:48] Haga
    And the whistle Akira-san gave me...
[07:52] Haga
    Not having my knife or debugger stone hurts.
[08:01] Haga
    I'm probably underground.
    This seems to be a chapel or something.
[08:08] Haga
    At times like this,
    it's important to stay calm.
[08:11] Haga
    I'll start by filling out a bug report.
[08:15] Haga
    I've been warped somewhere.
[08:16] Haga
    I was absorbed in my work
    and don't know exactly when.
[08:21] Haga
    But I was just about to report Alba-sama,
    which means... maybe...
[08:29] Haga
    No, I'll contemplate the parts
    I don't understand later.
[08:32] Haga
    Right now, I need to get out of here.
[08:35] Haga
    I hope I'm the only one who got warped.
[08:38] Haga
    I'm worried about the others.
[08:44] Haga
    Akira-san said that only elves can
    hear this. Will it reach her?
[08:49] Haga
    I'll try blowing it at regular intervals.
[08:52] Haga
    Now, time to get searching.
[08:58] Sign
    The Next Day
[09:00] People
    Alba-sama!
[09:02] People
    Alba-sama!
[09:07] Ren
    Alba-sama, you did the
    right thing with Haga.
[09:11] Alba
    Indeed.
[09:12] Alba
    He tried to send that bug
    report sooner than I thought.
[09:16] Alba
    It was a close call.
[09:18] Ren
    I'd heard he was dedicated to debugging,
[09:21] Ren
    but I didn't realize the extent of it.
[09:23] Sign
    Grasp
    Allows continuous targeting of anyone who
     has offered up their name to be burned
[09:24] Alba
    You offered up their names,
    so I was able to deal with this quickly.
[09:29] Alba
    You saved us.
[09:30] Ren
    You honor me with your praise.
[09:32] Ren
    However, Tesla-sama remains here asleep.
[09:36] Alba
    She can't do anything on her own.
[09:39] Alba
    Just lock her up. It'll be fine.
[09:41] Ren
    As you wish.
[09:43] Ren
    There's just one other problem.
[09:47] Ren
    Akira and Akane offered up their
     names too, so they probably also...
[09:54] Alba
    Seriously?

[09:56] Sign
    Fruit Milk
[09:56] Sign
    Fruit Milk
[09:56] Sign
    Fruit Milk
[10:04] Amano
    So we've finished all the fruit milk
    and the few snacks we had?
[10:08] Akira
    We need to find some water, at least.
[10:10] Akane
    It's all good.
[10:12] Akane
    If we just wait, Ren or
    Alba-sama will come save us.
[10:15] Akira
    But what if this happened
    to the two of them as well?
[10:19] Amano
    I doubt it.
[10:21] Amano
    I suspect they're the ones behind it.
[10:25] Amano
    Tesla showing up really undermined
     Alba's authority, didn't it?
[10:29] Amano
    I can imagine he'd want to get rid of us.
[10:31] Akira
    Then how do you explain me and Akane?
[10:33] Akira
    Why would he teleport us, too?
[10:35] Akane
    How dare you doubt Alba-sama!
[10:40] Amano
    Sorry! Sorry!
[10:43] (Flashback) Ren
    If you desire it, we can eliminate them.
[10:52] Akira
    We've got other stuff to
    worry about right now.
[10:54] Akira
    Let's just get moving!
[10:55] Amano
    Y-Yeah.
[10:57] Amano
    Luckily, there don't seem
    to be any monsters.
[11:00] Amano
    Let's get a move on...
[11:03] Amano
    and get as far as we can.
[11:05] Akane
    You're all fired up!
[11:07] Akane
    Go, Amanyan!
[11:08] Amano
    Okay, we're off!
[11:10] Amano
    Wait, use your own legs!
[11:15] Akane
    We're just fragile little women!
[11:18] Akira
    You're so mean!
[11:18] Amano
    You two, I swear...
[11:20] Amano
    It'd be weird to say, so I won't.
[11:23] Amano
    But those are just avatars.
[11:25] Amano
    There's no telling if
    they're actually girls or not.
[11:39] Douka
    Oh? You're awake?
[11:43] Douka
    I've just finished preparing your meal.
[11:46] Douka
    Can you eat?
[11:49] Douka
    My name is Douka.
[11:52] Douka
    Ren-sama told me to take care of you.
[11:59] Nikola
    U-Um, where's Haga-san?
[12:06] Sign
     Mazuna, the Capital
    
    A fortress city in the middle of Malmook Lake. The balance
     between the elementals collapsed and the lake dried up,
     but the city's high walls still keep away invaders.
[12:10] Sign
    Mardel
    
    God of fire, destruction, and war. On Clayborne, where conflict is constant,
     he is the most worshiped of all the gods. High priests of Mardel can use
     offensive magic the likes of which rivals mages.

[12:19] Haga
    I guess it's no use.
[12:22] Haga
    Here's another door clearly meant
    to be entered from the other side.
[12:26] Haga
    I've figured out that there is
    normal means of escape.
[12:31] Haga
    Which leaves me no choice.
    I'd really rather not do this, but...
[12:36] Haga
    This should be good.
[12:47] Haga
    Not the right angle, huh?
[13:02] Haga
    The wall clipping bug.
[13:03] Haga
    I reported this a long time ago.
    Lucky for me, they still haven't fixed it.
[13:04] Sign
    Wall Clipping Bug
    Hold a flat object and dash against a wall to pass through it.
    Use wisely, because you cannot return in some areas.
[13:12] Haga
    It's pretty dark.
[13:14] Haga
    At times like this, you go back to basics.
[13:17] Haga
    Careful mapping!
[13:19] Haga
    I don't have a weapon, so the first
    thing I need to do is find an armory.
[13:23] Sign
    Uh-oh!
[13:23] Haga
    Uh-oh!
[13:32] Haga
    What's this? It smells musty.
[13:38] Haga
    B-Books?
[13:44] Haga
    Is this... a library?
[13:49] Haga
    Look at all these books.
[13:55] Haga
    Could it possibly be...
[13:58] Haga
    It's full of flavor text you can read!
[13:59] Sign
    Flavor Text: Text that, while not necessary for the game, adds depth to its world
[14:02] Haga
    Don't tell me that all
    these books are readable.
[14:05] Haga
    Ache, ache, ache...

    No! I don't have time to be debugging!
[14:12] Haga
    I don't...
[14:13] Sign
    If the first comrade disappea
    rs, it will cause great problems fo
    r hte publication.
    
    One of the powder monkeys said to me that
    there is light on theee otter side...
[14:15] Haga
    But...
[14:15] Haga
    The line breaks are a mess!
[14:17] Sign
    the ▯ of night
[14:17] Haga
    Characters are screwed up!
[14:18] Sign
    If the first comrade disappea
    rs, it will cause great problems fo
    r hte publication.
[14:19] Haga
    Typos! Mistranslations!
[14:20] Haga
    And they're using full width double-byte
    characters so it doesn't even fit on the page!
[14:20] Sign
    ...appeared before me.
    It was a huge serpent.
    My hands shook as I
[14:29] Haga
    Maybe I can just check two or three books.
[14:37] Haga
    Yes, this is definitely
    another mistranslation.
[14:39] Haga
    There are so many of them.
[14:45] Haga
    Wh-Who's there?
[14:47] Haga
    A-Amano-san?
[15:18] Kinoshita
    Um... A-Are you okay?
[15:23] Kinoshita
    I-I'm sorry for scaring you!
[15:26] Kinoshita
    I'm Kinoshita, a part-timer with Entermation!
[15:30] Haga
    Wh-What? Entermation,
    as in the debugging company?
[15:34] Kinoshita
    Yes!
[15:35] Haga
    S-So you're a debugger?
[15:42] Amano
    What's with this dungeon?
[15:44] Amano
    There aren't any monsters, but the map's
    complicated and full of dead ends.
[15:50] Amano
    What the heck is going on here?
[15:52] Akane
    That's a dead end.
[15:55] Akira
    It's like a maze.
[15:58] Amano
    Can you still hear the whistle?
[16:00] Akira
    Yup. Every day for the past three days.
[16:02] Akira
    Three times at regular intervals.
[16:04] Amano
    Nobody else but Haga would
    be so weirdly punctual.
[16:07] Amano
    If he's down here too,
     I want to meet up with him fast.
[16:12] Amano
    Light?
[16:13] Akane
    That has to be Haga-chan!
[16:15] Akira
    Akane!
[16:15] Akane
    Haga-chan!
[16:16] Amano
    Hey, wait!
[16:28] Akane
    Wow!
[16:31] Amano
    A c-casino?
[16:37] Kinoshita
    You see, I was actually
    a lizardman originally...
[16:42] Kinoshita
    But one day I bought a "Fluffy Dragon"
    equipment set from a merchant.
[16:42] Sign
    What do
     you think?
[16:42] Sign
    It's great!
[16:49] Kinoshita
    When I equipped it, I ended up like this.
[16:51] Kinoshita
    And I can't take it off.
[16:53] Haga
    I see.
[16:55] Haga
    Maybe it's a loading error
    because it hasn't been modeled.
[16:59] Haga
    So, did you report it?
[17:01] Haga
    You didn't report this bug
    with your debugger stone?
[17:04] Kinoshita
    No, I don't usually carry
    my stone with me.
[17:08] Kinoshita
    And not too long after,
     I suddenly got warped here.
[17:13] Haga
    Suddenly warped, huh?
[17:14] Haga
    Just like me.
[17:16] Kinoshita
    Actually, it's been a long time since
    I've heard any talk of reporting bugs.
[17:21] Kinoshita
    There are really people out there
    still debugging, huh?
[17:24] Haga
    I get that a lot.
[17:27] Haga
    I mean, I feel like
    it's the only thing I can do.
[17:31] Kinoshita
    Ah, I think I know what you mean.
[17:35] Kinoshita
    I think I would've gone crazy
     if it weren't for this library.
[17:39] Haga
    You've been reading this whole time?
[17:41] Kinoshita
    Yes.
[17:42] Kinoshita
    And thanks to that, I know
    a lot about this dungeon.
[17:46] Kinoshita
    This was an archive for alchemists
    who took up residence here.
[17:50] Haga
    You know where we are?
[17:53] Kinoshita
    Yes.
[17:55] Kinoshita
    We're in the underground ruins
    below the Mazuna Temple.
[18:00] Kinoshita
    They call this place the Diamond.
[18:05] Kinoshita
    We're on the thousandth floor.
[18:06] Sign
    Here
[18:08] Haga
    Floor... 1,000?!
[18:11] Kinoshita
    Yes.
[18:19] Kinoshita
    I-I was alone for so long! I was so lonely!
[18:23] Haga
    Don't worry. It's okay.
[18:26] Haga
    We'll be fine.
[18:28] Haga
    I hope.
[18:31] Hostess
    Welcome to the underground casino,
    the Diamond of Diamond!
[18:35] Hostess
    Buy some coins and enjoy yourselves.
[18:39] Akira
    It's common for RPGs to have casinos, but...
[18:42] Amano
    The customers are NPCs?
[18:44] Amano
    What's the backstory here?
[18:47] Amano
    Hey, you. How'd you get here?
[18:49] Man
    Ha ha ha! I think you should have
    fun and not sweat the details.
[18:55] Amano
    Hey, where are we?
[18:57] Woman
    Ha ha! I think you should have
    fun and not sweat the details.
[19:02] Amano
    They all say the same thing,
    and the dialogue sucks.
[19:05] Amano
    I should report this.
[19:07] Akira
    Amano-kun, you're sounding like Haga-chan.
[19:10] Amano
    You and I are debuggers too,
    I'll have you know!
[19:14] Amano
    Huh?
[19:15] Amano
    Where's Akane?
[19:17] Akane
    No luck so far.
[19:19] Amano
    Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
[19:21] Akane
    Phew!
[19:23] Akane
    I got coins at the counter over there.
[19:26] Hostess
    We lend coins to those
    who can't afford to pay.
[19:29] Akane
    If you're lucky, you can
    get weapons as prizes.
[19:33] Akane
    We'll need them in the dungeon, right?
[19:36] Amano
    I mean, yeah, but...
[19:37] Akira
    We do need weapons.
[19:39] Akane
    You just leave this to me.
[19:41] Akane
    I tested a pachinko slot game once.
[19:45] Akane
    I made a living off slots at one point, too.
[19:48] Akane
    And never ever have I...
[19:51] Akane
    gone broke!
[19:55] Akira
    What confidence!
[19:56] Akira
    I've never seen her like this.
[19:59] Amano
    We may as well give it a shot.
[20:03] Sign
    I lost all my money!
[20:03] Sign
    Oh nooo!
[20:04] Both
    Hey, hey!
[20:05] Akane
    It's bugged! I'm going to report it!
[20:08] Akira
    Stop! Get away from the machine!
[20:09] Amano
    Hey, uh, Akane, did you read the contract
    for the coins they lent you?
[20:16] Amano
    It says your organs are collateral.
[20:21] Amano
    Hey, how much did she borrow and
     what exactly did she use as collateral?
[20:26] Hostess
    Oh, Akane-sama borrowed 1,000 coins
    by putting up her heart, both lungs,
[20:33] Hostess
    her liver, her pancreas, her
    gallbladder, and both kidneys!
[20:42] Akane
    Bullshit! I'm leaving!
[20:47] Man
    Ma'am, have you repaid your coins?
[20:52] Akane
    I ain't paying a thing
    to this busted casino!
[20:55] Akane
    And martial artists don't need any weapons!
[20:58] Akane
    Outta my way!
[21:00] Akane
    Gatling Fists!
[21:08] Man
    This is a noncombat area
    where all damage is nullified.
[21:18] Hostess
    Just come talk to me when you're ready,
[21:21] Hostess
    and we'll extract your
    organs in another room.
[21:31] Haga
    I feel so much better!
[21:34] Haga
    So this is the alchemists' lab, huh?
[21:38] Kinoshita
    I would've been dead ages ago
     if I hadn't found this place.
[21:43] Haga
    I'll make as many potions as I can.
[21:46] Haga
    Kinoshita-san, can you lend me a hand?
[21:49] Haga
    We need to get out of this place.
[21:51] Haga
    Oh, and do some debugging
    while we're here.
[21:54] Haga
    Let's head for the upper floors.
[21:55] Kinoshita
    Um, Haga-san...
[21:57] Kinoshita
    We can't go to the upper floors.
[22:02] Kinoshita
    I found signs of players
    who were here before me.
[22:07] Kinoshita
    I think they tried to escape, too.
[22:11] Kinoshita
    But it didn't work out for them.
[22:14] Kinoshita
    The thousandth floor of this
    dungeon is the lowest level.
[22:18] Kinoshita
    Past the great corridor,
    there's a big open space...
[22:27] Kinoshita
    where the raid boss, Silence, dwells.
