[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] Sign     M     A     Z     U     N     A     'S          F     A     M     O     U     S [06:11] Sign     Fruit Milk [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... [07:11] Sign     Send [07:11] Sign     Cancel [07:14] Akira     It's so good! [07:14] Sign     Fruit Milk [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 [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. [12:10] Sign     Fruit     Milk [12:10] Sign     Coffee      Milk [12:10] Sign     Strawberry     Milk [12:14] Sign     Two Days      Later [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... [14:05] Sign     Ache [14:05] Sign     Ache [14:05] Sign     Ache [14:05] Sign     Ache [14:05] Sign     Ache [14:05] Sign     Ache [14:08] Haga     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] 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.
