[00:14] Sign     Pat [00:14] Sign     Pat [00:15] Haga     Nikola-san started acting strangely     all of sudden. [00:19] Haga     Tesla, a meta AI that oversees the     entire game, had taken over her body. [00:26] Haga     She's ordered me to get rid of the     debuggers who are causing problems. [00:30] Haga     Now we're headed for a new village, but... [00:35] Villager     Hey, you there! [00:38] Villager     Who are you? [00:40] Villager     Where did you come from? [00:41] Villager     Don't move! [00:43] Villager     Make one wrong move... and you'll regret it! [00:47] Villager     Hey, everyone! [00:48] Villager     On me! [00:49] Villagers     What? [00:50] Villagers     What is it? [00:50] Villagers     Someone suspicious? [00:51] Villagers     Everything okay? [00:52] Villagers     Who's that? [00:53] Haga     What is this? [00:54] Nikola     Um... [00:57] Nikola     Is this a new trend or something? [01:00] Villager     What are you talking about? [01:01] Haga     Wait a sec, Nikola-san. [01:03] Haga     That's a bug. [01:05] Haga     The people in this village     are stuck in their T-poses. [01:08] Nikola     T-poses? [01:09] Sign     What's a T-pose? [01:10] Haga     It's the default pose      for a 3D character model. [01:13] Haga     You add animation from there, but... [01:17] Haga     These guys don't have any. [01:19] Haga     That's why they're just floating      above the ground. [01:24] Haga     Anyway, can you start by making     a list of all the villagers? [01:28] Haga     Then we can see which of them      are stuck like this. [01:32] Nikola     O-Okay. [01:34] Haga     Sorry for startling you. [01:36] Haga     Um... we don't mean you any harm, you see. [01:40] Haga     We're official Seekers      conducting an investigation... [01:46] Villagers     Sorry for being suspicious of you. [01:48] Villagers     Have a good time in our village! [01:50] Nikola     I'm glad they believed us. [01:53] Haga     Yeah. [02:00] Haga     There's still so much I don't understand. [02:04] Haga     But that doesn't change my job. [02:07] Haga     I'll just focus on my work, stay cautious,     and taking things one step at a time. [02:28] Amano     Oh, you're awake, Luu. [02:31] Luu     Good morning, Amano-sama. [04:12] Sign     Isora Amano [04:12] Sign     Isora Amano [04:40] Sign     Wanted [04:48] Nikola     Sixty-two... Sixty-three... [04:52] Nikola     I finished my fifth check. [04:54] Nikola     I think I got everyone. [04:56] Haga     Thank you. [04:58] Haga     So the reproducibility rate is 5/5. [04:59] Sign     Other [05:00] Sign     Reproducibility [05:02] Haga     Now we put this on the stone... [05:06] Haga     Transfer. [05:09] Haga     And that concludes our report to the dev team. [05:12] Haga     We'll get a notice once it's fixed,     then go see for ourselves in the morning. [05:18] Nikola     Okay. [05:24] Nikola     It's been so long since I've slept     in a bed. This is great! [05:30] Sign     Reproducibility [05:30] Sign     Other [05:30] Sign     Bugfix Status [05:30] Sign     Fixed [05:30] Sign     Fixed [05:38] Nikola     It's fixed! [05:40] Haga     Okay, let's take another look      at how everyone moves. [05:43] Nikola     Okay. [05:44] Sign     Find Bug [05:44] Sign     Report Bug [05:44] Haga     Reporting bugs and confirming fixes      are also part of our job. [05:46] Sign     Confirm Fix [05:49] Haga     That's the debugger's basic process. [05:51] Nikola     I see! [05:57] Luu     Good morning. [05:59] Amano     Morning, Luu. [06:01] Amano     Here's today's. [06:03] Luu     Thank you. [06:06] Luu     You were up all night again,     weren't you, Amano-sama? [06:09] Amano     Yeah, but I get rest where I can. [06:14] Luu     Are you heading out? [06:15] Amano     I'm out of paper, so I'm off to buy more. [06:19] Luu     Right. You said a traveling     merchant was in town. [06:21] Luu     Be careful. [06:27] Amano     I'll be back soon. [06:28] Amano     If I can find medicine to      help your legs, I'll buy that, too. [06:53] Amano     The T-posing's been fixed! [06:57] Nikola     Haga-san, look! [07:01] Haga     He's not fixed! [07:03] Nikola     We missed him yesterday. [07:05] Nikola     But that's strange.     I'm sure I checked everyone. [07:12] Amano     I've never seen those two before. [07:14] Amano     Are they with them? [07:17] Haga**     Excuse me, um... [07:27] Haga     Nikola-san, get behind me! [07:32] Nikola     He disappeared! [07:34] Nikola     Is he using a debugger stone? [07:37] Haga     That wasn't debug mode. He used an     invisibility spell to cloak himself. [07:43] Nikola     It was magic? [07:45] Haga     He started out T-posing, [07:47] Haga     but he switched to normal animation     when we spoke to him. [07:50] Sign     Fether = Race of Cat People [07:51] Nikola     Maybe because he's a fether? [07:52] Haga     It's possible that certain races     have different behaviors. [07:57] Haga     His footprints are still here. [08:00] Haga     I've never seen anyone      use invisibility before. [08:03] Haga     Maybe this is just how it's supposed to work. [08:06] Haga     Make note of it, I guess. [08:08] Haga     We can't miss even tiny graphical bugs. [08:12] Nikola     Okay. [08:13] Haga     Even though the devs hate getting those. [08:17] Haga     He didn't seem aggressive,      so let's follow and talk to him. [08:22] Nikola     I sure spend a lot of time crawling     around when I'm with Haga-san. [08:26] Nikola     This is all a trial to help me     become a Seeker! [08:29] Haga     It's not, though. [08:32] Haga     The footprints lead inside this house. [08:35] Nikola     Yes. [08:42] Luu     Who might you be? [08:43] Haga     Oh, um, I'm sorry. [08:45] Haga     Uh, I'm looking for a fether adventurer. [08:50] Luu     It's rude to barge into someone's house. [08:53] Haga     I, um... [08:54] Luu     Leave. [08:56] Nikola     She's right, Haga-san.     What we're doing is outrageous. [08:59] Haga     It's just a game, but they kept     this one part realistic. [09:05] Haga     Wait, those are bug sheets. [09:07] Haga     E-Excuse me. These are... [09:14] Haga     Manga?! [09:15] Luu     Give those back. They're mine. [09:18] Haga     Where did you get these? [09:24] Haga     Nikola-san! [09:24] Amano     Freeze. [09:26] Amano     One wrong move and I'll slit her throat. [09:34] Haga     Nikola-san... [09:35] Amano     Tell the boss... [09:37] Amano     that I'm not going to bother you guys.     So just leave me alone. [09:42] Amano     I gave you my debugger stone.      Isn't that enough? [09:46] Haga     Did you just say "debugger stone"? [09:49] Haga     Padon me, but are you a debugger? [09:55] Amano     Who are you? [09:57] Haga     We're... [09:58] Amano     Stay right there! [09:59] Haga     Wait! We're not your enemies! [10:03] Haga     Can you see the debugger stone on my back? [10:05] Haga     If you're worried, you can hold on to it. [10:10] Luu     You are all in my house.     Kindly keep the ruckus down. [10:21] Amano     I see. [10:23] Amano     So the T-posing villagers were      fixed because you reported them. [10:28] Amano     Must've been a pain     to catalog every one of them. [10:31] Luu     Nikola-san and I split the work. [10:34] Amano     Sakai and Sumida, the two guys you met     in Adan, are old coworkers of mine. [10:40] Amano     Based on what you said,      the Play-Ing crew hasn't changed at all. [10:45] Haga     Then the boss you mentioned...     You meant from Play-Ing? [10:50] Amano     Yeah. [10:51] Amano     They've been doing all kinds of awful stuff, [10:54] Amano     claiming to be "testing console commands." [10:57] Amano     I got sick of it and walked out. [11:00] Haga     So that's what you're doing     all the way out here. [11:02] Haga     By the way, Amano-san,      are you a pro manga artist? [11:07] Amano     If I were pro,      I wouldn't be debugging part-time. [11:09] Haga     That's fair. [11:11] Luu     It's for me. [11:14] Luu     Amano-sama crafts such wonderful stories     for me since I can't easily leave my house. [11:21] Amano     Luu, you don't need to tell them anything. [11:24] Luu     But... [11:25] Haga     She's an NPC, right? [11:30] Amano     Luu is part of the "Tell Me a Story" subquest. [11:35] Amano     She has the ability to evaluate stories. [11:39] Haga     Procedurally generated subquests     for specific NPCs... [11:43] Haga     That's one of this game's selling points! [11:45] Amano     Yeah. [11:46] Amano     You've seen enough, right? [11:49] Amano     I've decided to stay here and draw my manga. [11:53] Amano     Now that you know, you can go. [11:58] Haga     I was hoping you might help me debug... [12:02] Amano     No way in hell. [12:03] Haga     Well, I'm glad it wasn't some weird bug     still making people T-pose, at least. [12:08] Amano     Man, you take this way too seriously. [12:11] Amano     Haga, was it? [12:12] Amano     I think you're probably the only     one who's still debugging. [12:17] Haga     So it seems... [12:27] Haga     Nikola-san, what's wrong? [12:31] Nikola     I didn't know stories could be so moving! [12:36] Nikola     This is wonderful! [12:40] Nikola     Let me read more! [12:42] Amano     What's gotten into you? [12:43] Nikola     Please! [12:45] Amano     Wait! Hey! [12:47] Haga     Nikola-san can read manga? [12:48] Nikola     Please! [12:50] Haga     Excuse me... [12:51] Haga     I'd like to read some more, too. [12:54] Amano     You should be stopping her! [12:56] Haga     Come on, please. [12:57] Nikola     Please! [12:57] Amano     Damn, you're persistent. [13:02] Amano     Leave when you're done reading. [13:06] Amano     And you'd better wash your hands. [13:08] Amano     Get my drafts dirty and I'll kill you. [13:20] Nikola     Wow! [13:21] Haga     You did all this, Amano-san? [13:25] Amano     Well, yeah. [13:39] Sign      Forgotten Villages          Far from the road that connects the Bayle Highlands and the capital, you can find     sporadic "forgotten villages" dotting the landscape. Rare visits by traveling     merchants are their only source of information from the outside world. [13:42] Sign     Wanted System          Guards will be dispatched immediately to arrest     anyone who violates the kingdom's laws.     The King's Seekers are no exception. [13:45] Haga     That's a lot of pages. [13:47] Haga     How long have you been in this village? [13:50] Amano     Hm, let me think... [13:52] Amano     About six months, I guess. [13:54] Amano     I've decided to go.     I'm leaving my debugger stone behind.     -Amano [13:55] Amano     I left the castle because I didn't like     what the boss and the others were doing. [13:59] Amano     "They might come after me.      I need to hide out somewhere." [14:05] Amano     That's all I thought about back then. [14:10] (Flashback) Amano     A village? Out here? [14:15] Amano     Look at this place.     It's bugged to hell and back. [14:19] Amano     But that means no debugger has found it yet. [14:29] Amano     Maybe here? [14:35] (Flashback) Luu     Who's there? [14:36] (Flashback) Amano     S-Sorry. I didn't think anyone was living here. [14:39] (Flashback) Luu     Are you a traveler? [14:41] Amano     Huh? She's not bugged out. [14:45] (Flashback) Luu     Would you please tell me     a story about a hero? [14:50] Amano     She's got a subquest? [14:53] (Flashback) Luu     I've been told the world is full of stories. [14:57] (Flashback) Luu     Traveler, I am unable to walk      because of my legs. [15:01] (Flashback) Luu     If you have any tales to share, please do. [15:07] (Flashback) Amano     How about this? [15:16] Amano     There's no point in showing     an NPC my manga, is it? [15:25] (Flashback) Luu     I've never read anything so amazing. [15:29] (Flashback) Luu     This is a picture story, isn't it? [15:31] (Flashback) Amano     Y-Yeah. [15:34] (Flashback) Amano     I could write more, I think... [15:38] (Flashback) Amano     Want to read it? [15:40] (Flashback) Luu     Of course! [15:42] (Flashback) Luu     I can't wait! [15:46] (Flashback) Amano     Yeah... Okay. [15:51] Amano     In exchange for her letting me stay here,     I fixed up her run-down house. [15:55] Amano     And you know the rest. [15:57] Haga     I see. [15:59] Haga     So, since then, you've been      here writing manga? [16:02] Haga     I think you're the same as me. [16:07] Haga     You're keeping sane in this world     by devoting yourself to your work. [16:12] Amano     Aw, cut it out. [16:14] Amano     I just like manga. [16:17] Amano     By the way, Haga, do you know any recipes     for medicine that could heal Luu's legs? [16:23] Haga     No, I'm sorry. [16:26] Amano     I see. [16:27] Amano     I wish I could make some for her. [16:31] Amano     If only her legs would heal,     she could go wherever she wanted. [16:37] Haga     Amano-san... [16:40] Nikola     What happens next after this? [16:42] Nikola     I can't wait to find out! [17:04] Boss     The traveling merchant said     this was the house, right? [17:09] Sakai     Yeah. Pretty sure we just squished 'em both. [17:16] Nikola     Haga-san! [17:17] Amano     Damn it! What was that? [17:20] Amano     Luu was upstairs! [17:23] Haga     No! [17:23] Amano     Let me go! Let me go, damn it! [17:26] Haga     Shh! Be quiet! [17:30] Sakai     That's funny... I'm sure this was the spot. [17:35] Boss     Well, whatever. [17:37] Boss     Let's go. [17:38] Sakai     Okay. [17:39] Boss     I've figured out how to control dragons now. [17:42] Boss     This was tons of fun. [17:44] Boss     Get moving. [17:51] Sakai     Have fun rebuilding, guys! [17:55] Haga     That's the debugger from before! [17:58] Haga     We can't go outside now! [18:00] Amano     I know! But I've got more     important things to worry about! [18:03] Nikola     A-Again? [18:05] Amano     Please be safe, Luu... [18:13] Amano     I've gotten a lot better, haven't I? [18:16] Amano     I could probably go pro! [18:19] (Flashback) Luu     This was another great story! [18:22] (Flashback) Luu     I can't wait to find out how      David's going to get out of this one! [18:29] (Flashback) Amano     You're the first person to ever     enjoy my stories so much. [18:36] (Flashback) Amano     And that... makes me want     to work really hard. [18:41] (Flashback) Amano     I can just write and write! [18:44] (Flashback) Luu     That's a wonderful thing. [18:48] (Flashback) Amano     U-Um... [18:50] (Flashback) Amano     I want to stay here forever to write      manga... a-and live with you... [18:58] (Flashback) Amano     Kind of, I guess. [19:01] (Flashback) Luu     I... [19:04] (Flashback) Luu     I want to keep being the first person     to read your manga forever, Amano-sama. [19:16] (Flashback) Amano     Luu... [19:23] Amano     Luu! Luu! [19:27] Luu     Amano-sama... [19:32] Amano     Luu! [19:34] Haga     Luu-san! [19:35] Amano     Okay, Luu, I'll get you out. [19:41] Amano     Everything's all right. [19:42] Amano     I'll make a potion to heal you right up! [19:45] Amano     I've put a lot into training     my herbalism skill. [19:48] Luu     Amano-sama, I'm sorry. [19:51] Luu     Your drafts... [19:53] Amano     It's fine! [19:54] Amano     I can just write more. [20:00] Luu     I was imagining the next     part of the story... [20:06] Amano     Don't worry. I'll write it right away... [20:11] Luu     It's strange. My legs feel so light. [20:16] Luu     Not heavy like they always do. [20:18] Luu     Not at all... [20:20] Luu     Are they better, I wonder? [20:22] Luu     Now I can finally... go outside with you... [20:32] Amano     Luu! Luu! [20:34] Amano     Luu! [20:36] Amano     No! [20:39] Amano     No! Luu! [20:43] Amano     Listen! Here's the rest of the story! [20:46] Amano     Someone comes to recruit the hero! [20:49] Amano     Remember, he was about to give up! [20:51] Amano     But someone comes!     Don't you want to know who? [20:54] Amano     Don't you?! [20:55] Amano     Hey, Haga! Get me a potion! Now! [20:58] Amano     Hey! Say something, Luu! Luu! [21:03] Amano     Luu! [21:05] Amano     I did it... [21:07] Amano     I did it for you. [21:12] Nikola     H-Haga-san! [21:13] Nikola     Hurry up and help Luu-san! [21:15] Haga     You can't fix that with a potion. [21:18] Haga     There's nothing we can do. [21:21] Haga     NPCs in this world aren't that     different from normal people. [21:25] Haga     So... [21:26] Haga     Damn it! [21:27] Haga     Killing an NPC is supposed to put you     on a wanted list as a penalty. [21:31] Haga     Wait, did they use     debug mode to disable that? [21:33] Haga     I can't remember if that's a thing! [21:34] Haga     Hold on. This is more gore than     the game's supposed to have! [21:38] Haga     I need to report all this! [21:40] Haga     Ah, what do I do? [21:42] Nikola     Haga. [21:45] Haga     T-Tesla... [21:47] Nikola     Now you understand why these     debuggers need to be removed. [21:52] Nikola     You just saw what happens when      they're left to their own devices. [21:57] Haga     If you used your power     as a meta AI to fix her... [22:00] Nikola     Don't be ridiculous. [22:03] Nikola     Each NPC in this world is unique. [22:06] Nikola     The cycle of life and death exists here     just as it does in the real world. [22:15] Haga     Amano-san, where are you going? [22:19] Amano     Where else? [22:21] Amano     I'm going to kill them.
