[00:15] Amano
    Haga did his best to find Nikola
    a new class in Bayle's castle town.
[00:20] Amano
    He at least wanted to get her some gear
    and ended up buying a peculiar weapon.
[00:26] Amano
    Meanwhile, I got my debugger stone back
    thanks to a secret deal with my old boss.
[00:31] Amano
    I was able to bring Luu back,
[00:34] Amano
    but she'd lost all her memories of me.
[00:39] Amano
    Then, as I was standing around
    in my depression,
[00:42] Amano
    the black knight we saw at Bayle Castle
    appeared and cleaved the boss in half.
[00:46] Amano
    That black knight turned out to be...
[00:50] Akira
    So, once again...
[00:53] Akira
    I'm Akira Kagami,
[00:55] Akira
    a debugger with Entermation, Inc!
[01:00] Haga
    H-Hello.
[01:02] Haga
    I can't believe the black knight
    was actually a debugger.
[01:09] Akira
    Sorry about what happened at the castle.
[01:11] Akira
    I wasn't sure if you were an enemy or not.
[01:16] Amano
    But how were you able to get
    into our main quest line?
[01:19] Akira
    I was investigating Bayle Castle, too.
[01:23] Akira
    I got lost inside and was wandering around.
[01:26] Akira
    Then I saw you being
     taken in at the front gate.
[01:31] Akira
    So when you three shifted to the main quest,
    I guess I got sent with you.
[01:33] Sign
    Main Quest "The Mad King"
    
    Escape Castle Bayle
    -Escape Your Cell
[01:36] Haga
    You mean you were mistakenly
    considered part of our party?
[01:40] Akira
    I poked around some, but I couldn't figure
    out if it was intentional or a bug.
[01:44] Akira
    So I just started roaming the castle.
[01:46] Sign
    Oh, a gold coin!
[01:47] Sign
    Lucky me!
[01:48] Amano
    And that's when you ran into us?
[01:51] Akira
    That's right!
[01:54] Akira
    And so we fought, but you guys
    didn't seem like bad people.
[02:00] Akira
    So I decided to pull back.
[02:01] Haga
    Thank goodness.
[02:03] Akira
    Amano-kun told me what you've been up to.
[02:06] Akira
    You've been through an awful lot, haven't you?
[02:11] Haga
    Well, you could say that...
[02:14] Haga
    Huh? Wait—
[02:19] Haga
    U-Uh, um...
[02:22] Akira
    You... You...
[02:25] Akira
    You did such a good job!
    A really, really, really good job!
[02:28] Haga
    H-H-H-Hey! H-H-H-Hold on!
[02:31] Akira
    You did great too, Amano-kun! So great!
[02:33] Amano
    Hey, kn-knock it off!
[02:35] Akira
    Wow, you're so fluffy!
[02:38] Amano
    Whatever! Just let go!
[02:40] Akira
    When I think of how you've suffered,
    it just brings me to tears!
[02:45] Both
    What's wrong with her?!
[02:49] Akira
    You too, little missy!
[02:51] Haga
    I-I think she's pretty tired,
    so let's leave her be!
[02:56] Haga
    A-Anyway, Kagami-san, what brings you here?
[03:03] Akira
    That's rather serious business.
     You okay with that?
[04:37] Akira
    It's been, what, a year now?
[04:40] Akira
    We haven't been able
    to log out for a long time.
[04:40] Sign
    Akira Kagami
[04:40] Sign
    Akira Kagami
[04:43] Akira
    When it happened, I was beside myself.
[04:46] Akira
    But someone inspired me to think
    about how I really wanted to live.
[04:52] Akira
    And so, I've decided to
     accept this world for what it is.
[04:58] Akira
    I'm going to live my life
    normally within this world.
[05:03] Amano
    Live life normally, huh?
[05:05] Akira
    Yup!
[05:06] Akira
    So bad debuggers like your boss,
[05:08] Akira
    who make normal life impossible,
     are my enemies!
[05:11] Haga
    And you're all by yourself?
[05:13] Akira
    I've got friends in the Principality of Sai,
     but right now, I'm solo.
[05:17] Akira
    So, you know...
[05:20] Akira
    When I saw how hard you were trying
    to get by normally too, I was awestruck!
[05:24] Akira
    I seriously respect that!
[05:26] Akira
    So I was wondering if maybe
    we could travel together.
[05:31] Akira
    I mean, I'm coming with even if you say no!
[05:34] Amano
    Hey! I told you to knock that off!
[05:34] Akira
    So fluffy!
[05:36] Akira
    Welp, I'll go get a room! See you!
[05:40] Amano
    I'm okay with her joining if you are.
[05:45] Akira
    She doesn't seem like a bad person, but...
[05:53] Akira
    She sliced the boss in half
    without a second thought.
[05:59] Haga
    Well, if it comes to that,
    we've got a lethal weapon.
[06:02] Nikola
    Ker-pow!
[06:03] Sign
    Ker-pow!
[06:04] Amano
    We can just tell her that
    Nikola is an NPC follower.
[06:08] Amano
    Let's not tell her about Tesla for now.
[06:10] Haga
    I agree.
[06:12] Amano
    Also, Haga...
[06:15] Amano
    I wanted to show you this.
[06:16] Haga
    A debugger stone?
[06:18] Haga
    Is this yours?
[06:20] Amano
    I just so happened to find it
    in the rubble at Bayle Castle.
[06:24] Amano
    Should I hand it over to you?
[06:25] Haga
    No, no. That's okay.
[06:28] Haga
    I trust you, Amano-san.
[06:31] Amano
    I see.
[06:33] Haga
    Now we can make bug reports together!
    It'll go so much faster!
[06:36] Amano
    Y-Yeah.
[06:40] Amano
    What's that?
[06:42] Haga
    Oh, that...
[06:49] Nikola
    So we've got a new Seeker friend?
[06:52] Nikola
    And a fighter, no less!
[06:55] Akira
    The name's Akira! Nice to meet you!
[06:57] Nikola
    I'm Nikola—
[06:59] Akira
    You did great!
[07:02] Akira
    Oh, what a good kid you are!
[07:04] Akira
    And so cute! Mm-hmm!
[07:06] Nikola
    N-Nice to meet you.
[07:08] Akira
    Mm-hmm, you're great!
[07:09] Waitress
    What can I get for you?
[07:11] Akira
    Scrambled eggs, but I want them soft.
[07:14] Akira
    And French toast with plenty of whipped cream!
[07:17] Akira
    Can you make enough for four?
[07:18] Waitress
    Sure thing!
[07:25] Nikola
    You can order like this, huh?
[07:28] Akira
    Let's say it's a Seeker's privilege.
[07:30] Akira
    Now, let's eat before it gets cold!
[07:33] Haga
    Right.
[07:40] Akira
    You're such a wild eater!
[07:42] Akira
    Wow, Nikola-chan!
[07:44] Haga
    Tesla-san's not saying a
     word about Akira-san.
[07:49] Amano
    There's still stuff we don't know.
[07:51] Amano
    Well, I suppose she's waiting
    to see how this pans out.
[07:52] Akira
    Oh, wow!
[07:55] Amano
    So... what do we do now?
[07:59] Haga
    Oh, I was thinking about that yesterday.

[08:02] Haga
    For the next main quest, "Each Nation's Ambition,"
    we can go to any country.
[08:08] Haga
    So, since it's the closest country, how about
     going to the Federated Kingdoms of Stamao?
[08:14] Akira
    Hey, I came through Stamao
    on my way from Sai.
[08:18] Akira
    I can show you the way.
[08:19] Haga
    I'd really appreciate that.
[08:21] Haga
    Except, Akira-san, um...
[08:25] Akira
    I know.
[08:27] Akira
    No using debug mode, right?
[08:30] Akira
    I only ever use it against
    bad debuggers, anyway.
[08:34] Akira
    It scares me.
[08:36] Akira
    Want this?
[08:36] Haga
    No, no need to go so far.
[08:38] Haga
    I take you at your word.

[08:59] Amano
    Hey, aren't you going to put on your armor?
[09:02] Akira
    I'm giving that up.
[09:03] Akira
    It's too hot!
[09:04] Nikola
    We've got a new comrade,
    and we're off on our next adventure!
[09:08] Nikola
    I'm still just an apprentice thief, but...
[09:09] Sign
    Just a villager
[09:12] Nikola
    I have this Necromancer's Skull!
[09:15] Amano
    There's a village about ten days'
     walk along the main road.
[09:20] Nikola
    Okay!
[09:57] Nikola
    Haga-san, what are those?
[10:03] Haga
    A giant's footprints, maybe?
[10:05] Akira
    Uh-huh.
[10:06] Akira
    There are giants in the mountains,
    I've heard, but this area should be safe.
[10:11] Amano
    Is it a subquest?
[10:12] Haga
    No, I checked, but...
[10:15] Akira
    We'll be fine as long as
    we stick to the road.
[10:17] Akira
    They're not aggressive monsters.
[10:21] Amano
    His brain's locked in debug mode.
    He can't just ignore something like this.
[10:24] Akira
    I see.
[10:31] Haga
    There are human footprints, too.
[10:33] Haga
    Was there a fight here?
[10:37] Akira
    Hey!
[10:39] Akira
    We're going to leave you behind!
[10:46] Haga
    Okay, I'll make dinner. Give me a minute.
[10:50] Akira
    I'll cook tonight, Haga-chan.
[10:53] Akira
    I've leveled my cooking skill!
[10:56] Haga
    No, that's okay. This is always my job.
[10:58] Akira
    In that case, let's have a cook-off!
[11:02] Akira
    Let's both make two dishes
    and see whose are better.
[11:05] Nikola
    Haga-san, good luck!
[11:10] Amano
    Nikola, our job is to find
     water and firewood.
[11:32] Haga
    Okay!
[11:34] Sign
    Haga-chan's Dishes
[11:34] Sign

[12:12] Both

[12:15] Sign
    Akira
[12:15] Sign
    Akira
[12:18] Tesla
    Haga, you're skilled,
    but you're a culinary one-trick pony.
[12:22] Tesla
    Meanwhile, Akira's presentation
     was thoughtful.
[12:25] Tesla
    She puts her skills to better use than you.
[12:29] Akira
    You're so harsh, Nikola-chan!
[12:32] Haga
    I'm doing the best I can.
[12:35] Akira
    Don't let it get to you, Haga-chan.
[12:38] Amano
    There's no denying that Akira's
    adapted to this world well.
[12:42] Amano
    As for Haga...
    all he cares about is debugging.
[12:46] Haga
    That's good!
[12:48] Amano
    Akira comes across a lot more normal than him.
[12:55] Akira
    Amano-kun.
[12:57] Amano
    Above us!
[12:59] Both
    Scatter!
[13:16] Nikola
    A-A giant fell from the sky?
[13:22] Akira
    Something's coming from the forest.
[13:26] Sign
    Federated Kingdoms of Stamao
    
    A collection of small tribes in the Stamao Mountains.
    Several hundred of them live in constant conflict,
    except when faced when an external threat.
    They then come together as one due to an ancient treaty.
[13:31] Sign
    So hot...
[13:31] Sign
    Lord Elf
    
    A woodland race with long ears and porcelain skin.
    Their exceptional capacity for magic makes lord elves
     who are trained as mages the most feared opponents
    on the battlefield.
[13:40] Akira
    Haga-chan, get next to me.
[13:42] Haga
    Right!
[13:43] Akira
    Amano-kun, you stay close to Nikola-chan.
[13:49] Akira
    Here they come!
[13:57] Amano
    You okay?!
[13:58] Akira
    I'm fine!
[14:12] Haga
    They're running?
[14:13] Amano
    What in the world?
[14:15] Nikola
    It's like something scared them.
[14:19] Amano
    Something's coming in behind them. Get ready.
[14:31] Akira
    That's no giant.
[14:33] Akira
    But...
[14:34] Haga
    He's so strong!
[14:44] Gaydle
    Who are you guys?! Bandits?!
[14:47] Gaydle
    Don't get in my way!
[14:54] Amano
    Is he the one who knocked that giant this way?
[15:01] Gaydle
    Turned tail, did they?
[15:08] Akira
    Haga-chan?
[15:11] Haga
    We're King's Seekers. We're not bandits.
[15:15] Haga
    We're heading to the capital
    by order of our king.
[15:19] Gaydle
    King's Seekers?
[15:24] Gaydle
    I'm a Seeker too, actually!
[15:27] Haga
    You are?
[15:30] Gaydle
    See? Here's the proof.
[15:33] Haga
    Looks real to me.
[15:39] Gaydle
    So you're buddies, huh?
[15:41] Gaydle
    That's great!
[15:43] Gaydle
    Wow!
[15:45] Haga
    U-Um, I'm Haga from Nishima Tech.
[15:50] Haga
    And you?
[15:51] Gaydle
    I'm Gaydle from the Moravi Settlement.
[15:54] Gaydle
    Nice to meet you.
[15:55] Akira
    Gaydle?
[15:57] Akira
    Um, what's your real name?
[15:59] Gaydle
    Huh? What do you mean?
[16:10] Gaydle
    My village gets attacked by giants a lot.
[16:14] Gaydle
    Both men and women alike are raised to fight.
[16:17] Gaydle
    We do battle almost every day.
[16:19] Haga
    A village of fighters, huh?
[16:21] Haga
    Wait, so he's an NPC Seeker?
[16:24] Amano
    I guess it makes sense that a few exist.
[16:27] Gaydle
    Until a while ago,
     I was just an ordinary villager.
[16:32] Gaydle
    But one day a Seeker came to our village!
[16:52] Gaydle
    We got to be friends,
    and he made me a Seeker.
[16:58] Nikola
    So you went from villager to Seeker?
[17:01] Nikola
    The same thing happened to me!
[17:03] Nikola
    I'm Haga-san's apprentice!
[17:05] Gaydle
    What a coincidence! We're the same, then!
[17:09] Akira
    What's the name of the Seeker
    who came to your village?
[17:13] Gaydle
    Yamanaka-sama.
[17:15] Sign
    Probably Written
    "Yamanaka"
[17:15] All
    Yamanaka?
[17:19] Haga
    So it was a player.
[17:22] Gaydle
    Thanks to him, I have enough
    power to fight the giants!
[17:28] Nikola
    Wow!
[17:30] Haga
    That debugger did something to this
    villager to give him the power to fight.
[17:35] Amano
    He probably used his debugger stone.
[17:38] Amano
    This doesn't seem like a bug.
[17:40] Akira
    But something doesn't feel right, y'know?
[17:44] Amano
    So, Gaydle-san, is this Yamanaka
    person still in your village?
[17:48] Akira
    No, he vanished right after
    he made me a Seeker.
[17:56] Amano
    Well, there are freelancers out
    there who act on their own.
[17:59] Haga
    We'll have to go his village and see
    for ourselves what's going on.
[18:03] Amano
    Yeah.
[18:06] Haga
    Gaydle-san, can you take us to your village?
[18:11] Gaydle
    You want to visit?
[18:13] Gaydle
    The elders will be super happy!
[18:25] Gaydle
    We should make it to the village by evening.
[18:30] Nikola
    The path...
[18:31] Gaydle
    This is in the way.
[18:37] Gaydle
    There we go!
[18:42] Gaydle
    Sorry!
[18:43] Gaydle
    You okay?
[18:45] Nikola
    You really are strong, huh?
[18:49] Gaydle
    I bet you'll be as strong as me soon!
[19:01] Gaydle
    This is the Moravi Settlement.
[19:04] Haga
    Moravi Settlement is an odd name.
[19:07] Haga
    I wish I could check the name list.
[19:09] Amano
    There you go again.
[19:11] Gaydle
    I'm back! Hey!
[19:14] Woman
    Let's go.
[19:15] Woman 2
    Yeah.
[19:17] Gaydle
    This is the elders' house.
[19:32] Elder
    Welcome.
[19:34] Elder
    Stay here in our village tonight.
[19:38] Haga
    Thank you.
[19:43] Akira
    They don't look happy to see us.
[19:49] Gaydle
    That's right!
[19:50] Gaydle
    When giants attacked the other day,
     I defeated them all myself!
[19:59] Akira
    It feels kind of tense in here.
[20:01] Amano
    Yeah.
[20:02] Fighter A
    If that man were here,
    this wouldn't have happened.
[20:05] Fighter B
    No, maybe this is what he
    wanted from the start.
[20:08] Fighter C
    It doesn't matter.
[20:10] Fighter C
    We'll solve the problem ourselves. Tonight.
[20:41] Akira
    I overheard those guys, too.
[20:44] Akira
    You going to investigate?
[20:45] Haga
    Yeah, I suppose.
[20:47] Akira
    Then take this.
[20:50] Akira
    It's an elf whistle.
[20:52] Akira
    It makes a sound only elves can hear.
[20:54] Akira
    Blow it if something happens.
[20:57] Haga
    All right.
[21:01] Akira
    Be careful, okay?
[21:03] Haga
    I will.
[21:19] Fighter C
    Elders, we can't take this anymore.
[21:22] Elder
    He's protecting the village!
[21:25] Fighter C
    And that's always been our job!
[21:29] Elder
    But the attacks from giants
    have become less frequent.
[21:33] Fighter C
    Still...
[21:35] Fighter D
    I know you can't see, old man, but I wish
    I could show you what he did to my brother!
[21:45] Fighter E
    I picked a fight with him
    and this is the result.
[21:48] Fighter E
    I barely survived.
[21:51] Elder
    You can't talk it out?
[21:55] Fighters
    It'll never work. He's a monster.
[22:01] Haga
    So that's why the village is so tense.
[22:05] Haga
    What did Yamanaka do to Gaydle?
[22:07] Fighter C
    This is our chance,
     while he's drunk and asleep!
[22:10] Elder
    So you're going to do it?
[22:13] Fighter C
    Yes, we're going to kill Gaydle!
[22:23] Haga
    This isn't a subquest, but...
[22:27] Fighters
    Let's go!
[22:30] Haga
    What do I do?
