**[00:12] Faeria**
At last...
**[00:13] Faeria**
At last, the dark lord is defeated!
**[00:41] Faeria**
You've done it, Sunraku!
**[00:43] Faeria**
Thank you!
**[00:46] Faeria**
It's been such a long,
hard journey, hasn't it?
**[00:50] Sunraku**
Yes.
**[00:53] Sunraku**
I've been waiting so long
for this very moment...
**[00:56] Sunraku**
Faeria.
**[01:04] Sunraku**
Now, you can go with the dark lord
**[01:06] Sunraku**
straight to hell!
**[01:21] Sunraku**
You're the real dark lord here!
**[01:23] Sunraku**
You're the real menace to the world!
***SIGN*** ~The Prayer of the Fairy Princess~
**[01:29] Rakuro**
Heck yeah!
**[01:30] Rakuro**
I finally beat *Failia Chronicle*!
**[01:34] Rakuro**
And I got my revenge
for everything she put me through!
**[01:37] Rakuro**
Yeah!
**[01:39] Narratror**
In an age where display-based
games are considered retro,
**[01:42] Narratror**
and fully immersive VR games
have become the norm...
***SIGN*** Simulated Environment
**[01:46] Narrator**
Beneath the small number
of works of significance
**[01:48] Narrator**
lies a massive pile of releases
**[01:50] Narrator**
whose game designs don't live up
to their improved graphics technology.
**[01:56] Narrator**
They are known as "trash games."
***SIGN*** Not Trash Games
***SIGN*** Semi-Redeemable Trash Games
**[02:00] Narrator**
Although most people
rightfully despise trash games,
**[02:01] sign**
Never Play Again
**[02:04] Narrator**
there are those who gleefully seek them out.
**[02:06] Narrator**
We call these people "freaks."
**[02:09] Rakuro**
The rumors were true.
What a giant pile of garbage!
**[02:18] Narrator**
This man here, Rakuro Hizutome,
**[02:20] Narrator**
is one of these freaks.
***SIGN*** Rakuro Hizutome
***SIGN*** High School 2nd-Year
**[02:24] Rakuro**
I feel so free!
**[02:27] Rakuro**
Is this how a convict finishing up
a prison sentence feels?
**[02:32] Rakuro**
Now, what trash game will I try next?
**[02:36] Narrator**
He is known as the "Trash-Game Hunter."
***SIGN*** What Do You Play Games For?
**[04:12] Rakuro**
Morning!
**[04:15] Rakuro**
Oh, no one's here.
***SIGN*** Soft & Fluffy Melon Pan
***SIGN*** Towa Amane
***SIGN*** The Celebrity Model on Fashion's Bleeding Edge
**[04:27] Rakuro**
Mom, one of your butterflies got out.
**[04:30] Eika**
Oh, drat! Thanks for telling me!
**[04:33] Rakuro**
Heading out!
**[04:36] Eika**
Have a good day!
**[04:40] Students**
Where're you going for summer break?
**[04:42] Students**
Heading to Hawaii in two days!
**[04:44] Students**
Awesome!
**[04:45] Students**
You?
**[04:46] Students**
Makuhari.
***SIGN*** Municipal

**[04:47] Students**
Going to the game expo?
**[04:48] Students**
Hey, great idea!
**[05:00] Rei**
E-Excuse me... Hizutome-kun...
**[05:03] Rei**
Wh-What have you been up to?
**[05:06] Rei**
Th-That's not what I meant!
**[05:07] Rei**
I meant to ask... what game are you playing?
**[05:12] Rei**
Oh, really? The truth is, I also—
**[05:19] Rei**
Okay!
**[05:30] Rei**
Hizu—
**[05:31] Rakuro's Friend**
'Sup, Rakuro?
**[05:32] Rakuro**
Heya.
**[05:33] Rakuro's Friend**
Up all night gaming again?
**[05:35] Rakuro**
As a matter of fact...
**[05:36] Rakuro**
Listen to this, man!
Talk about a nightmare...
**[05:40] Rakuro**
Trashiest trash game ever...
**[05:52] Mana**
Summer vacation starts tomorrow, then?
***SIGN*** Mana Iwamaki
***SIGN*** Owner of "Rock Roll"
**[05:56] Mana**
That should bring in some business, I'll bet.
**[06:01] Mana**
Come on in!
**[06:02] Mana**
Oh, Rei-chan!
**[06:05] Rei**
Hello, there!
***SIGN*** Rei Saiga
***SIGN*** High School 2nd-Year
**[06:08] Mana**
On the way back from practice?
**[06:10] Rei**
Yes.
**[06:15] Mana**
Sorry, but he's not here today, either.
**[06:18] Rei**
O-Oh, I just came to look at the games—
**[06:21] Mana**
C'mon, I know you too well
for that little act.
***SIGN*** BLUSH
**[06:25] Mana**
Aw, you lucky girl!
**[06:27] Mana**
Oh, to be young and in love!
**[06:29] Rei**
M-Mana-san!
**[06:31] Mana**
He's been trying to crack
an extra-special trash game,
**[06:34] Mana**
so he hasn't been by in a while.
**[06:37] Rei**
"Extra-special"?
**[06:38] Mana**
That one there's his latest.
**[06:40] Mana**
*Failia Chronicle*.
**[06:42] Mana**
It might take him a bit longer yet.
**[06:44] Rei**
Oh, *Faeria Chronicle Online*...
**[06:47] Rei**
My sister told me about that one.
**[06:49] Rei**
She said it was really hard!
**[06:51] Mana**
It's a legendary trash game.
**[06:54] Mana**
Miserable ally AI,
**[06:56] Mana**
utterly absurd enemy attack patterns,
**[06:59] Mana**
and more bugs in the code
than you can shake a stick at.
**[07:02] Mana**
I hear you need serious skills
to even beat the first boss.
**[07:06] Mana**
It's caused tons of players to
throw their headsets in frustration!
**[07:10] Mana**
On top of that, I've heard
**[07:12] Mana**
you gotta fight the final boss
in board shorts and a mask!
**[07:16] Rei**
Why in the world would you do that?
**[07:18] Mana**
No idea.
**[07:19] Mana**
I assume it's an efficiency
thing or something.
**[07:22] Mana**
So? Are you making progress, Rei-chan?
**[07:25] Rei**
Yes. I am, but—
**[07:28] Rakuro**
Got any decent trash games in?
**[07:32] Mana**
Hey! Been a while, Hizutome-kun!
**[07:35] Mana**
Oh?
**[07:36] Mana**
And... she's gone.
**[07:39] Mana**
Oh, nothing.
**[07:41] Mana**
Wait, did you beat *Failia* already?
**[07:44] Rakuro**
You bet!
**[07:45] Rakuro**
I took that sucker down!
**[07:47] Mana**
How was it?
**[07:48] Rakuro**
It was a *spectacular* pile of garbage!
**[07:51] Mana**
Glad to hear it.
**[07:53] Rakuro**
The biggest pile of garbage
was that female lead.
**[07:56] Rakuro**
Her name's "Faeria,"
and she ticked me off to no end!
**[07:59] Rakuro**
She's the cause of pretty much every
problem you run into on the journey,
**[08:02] Rakuro**
and then she makes the situation worse and
gets villagers and party members killed!
***SIGN*** Tee-hee
**[08:09] (Flashback) Faeria**
Oh, no! I hit him!
**[08:11] (Flashback) Sunraku**
What the hell is your problem?!
**[08:12] (Flashback) Sunraku**
What are you even doing in that carriage?!
**[08:12] Rakuro**
And if you expect her to suffer
consequences for any of it...
**[08:15] (Flashback) Faeria**
Curse you, dark lord!
**[08:17] (Flashback) Faeria**
He's the reason all of this is happening!
**[08:22] Rakuro**
She always finds a way to
blame it all on the last boss!
**[08:25] Rakuro**
That guy didn't do squat!
**[08:26] Rakuro**
You're the real problem here!
**[08:28] Rakuro**
The same thing happens anywhere you go,
**[08:30] Rakuro**
but if you give her even the tiniest
little shove to vent your annoyance...
**[08:33] (Flashback) Faeria**
Now I'm mad!
**[08:34] (Flashback) Faeria**
I'm not going anywhere with you!
***SIGN*** Huh?!
**[08:37] Rakuro**
She refuses to move the story along!
**[08:39] Rakuro**
The autosave locks you
into that state of affairs,
**[08:41] Rakuro**
and it takes three freaking hours
to get back in her good graces!
**[08:43] Rakuro**
Then there's this, that,
and the other thing...
**[08:46] Rakuro**
Just thinking about it ticks me off again!
**[08:49] Mana**
I'm impressed you didn't throw in the towel.
**[08:51] Rakuro**
Oh, but you see, that's how they get you!
**[08:53] Rakuro**
In the three minutes between beating the final
boss and before the credits start rolling,
**[08:57] Rakuro**
I guess because it's technically a cutscene,
**[08:59] Rakuro**
you can beat the crap out of Faeria
without fear of reprisal!
**[09:03] Rakuro**
It's so ironic. The more Faeria annoys you,
**[09:06] Rakuro**
the more determined you
become to brave that hell
**[09:08] Rakuro**
to experience that three minutes of heaven.
**[09:11] Rakuro**
But when that moment finally arrives...
**[09:15] Rakuro**
It's as if all that's wiped away!
**[09:18] Rakuro**
You feel like you understand
why you were put on this Earth.
**[09:20] Mana**
Glad to hear you had fun.
**[09:22] Rakuro**
But since *Failia* turned out to be
such a remarkable trash pile,
**[09:26] Rakuro**
I can't think of what to follow it up with.
**[09:32] Mana**
In that case,
**[09:34] Mana**
why not play something that's
not a trash game for once?
**[09:37] Rakuro**
Not a trash game?
***SIGN*** Summer Break Promotion!!
Now Adding Servers!
**[09:39] Mana**
Experiencing the lows in life
can help you appreciate the highs.
**[09:43] Mana**
The reverse is true, as well.
**[09:45] Mana**
The fully immersive VR game
with over 30 million players...
**[09:53] Rakuro**
*Shangri-La Frontier*?
**[10:01] Mana**
It can be fun to try things designed
for mass appeal now and then.
**[10:05] Mana**
Right?
**[10:09] Rakuro**
The opposite of a trash game...
**[10:11] Rakuro**
A real god-tier game, huh?
**[10:20] Rakuro**
*Shangri-La Frontier*, AKA* SLF*.
**[10:24] Rakuro**
It went on the market last spring
**[10:27] Rakuro**
and set a Guinness World Record
for simultaneous player log-ins.
**[10:35] Rakuro**
The concept is...
**[10:37] Rakuro**
A colony fleet that came from space died out,
**[10:41] Rakuro**
but not before leaving a new society behind.
**[10:44] Rakuro**
Thousands of years later,
**[10:46] Rakuro**
the PCs are living their lives
at roughly medieval tech levels.
**[10:53] Rakuro**
A setup that allows for effortless
inclusion of sci-fi elements...
**[10:56] Rakuro**
Unlike *Failia*, which is so bad
**[10:58] Rakuro**
the haters find themselves desperately
searching for redeeming features,
**[11:01] Rakuro**
this game is so beloved that its few haters
**[11:04] Rakuro**
are completely drowned out
by tens of thousands of fans.

**[11:44] Rakuro**
If *SLF* was produced in-house at UES,
**[11:47] Rakuro**
there's no way it can be bad.

something that wasn't a trash game?

You've been so poisoned by those
super-limited trash games,
**[12:50] Rakuro**
you're getting blown away
by silly minor stuff!
**[12:52] Rakuro**
Okay!

To protect Rakuro's good name,

I'll explain this state of affairs.
**[13:11] Narrator**
He's not into freak fashion
or anything like that.
**[13:15] Narrator**
His playstyle consists of
**[13:17] Narrator**
ignoring armor in favor of getting
the best weapons possible.
**[13:22] Narrator**
These weapons are costly, of course,

Still, in a big-time game like this,
**[13:41] Rakuro**
it'd be pretty awkward to play
half-naked if everyone could see my face.
**[13:45] Narrator**
This was, therefore, the inevitable result.
**[13:49] Rakuro**
Player name... Sunraku.
***SIGN*** Please input name

Incidentally, Rakuro is the type of player who

Hey, a prologue.
**[14:10] Rakuro**
Let's skip that...
**[14:17] Rakuro**
Okay, show me the power

of a god-tier game!

Introduction
Pioneers, Feel the Night Wind
**[14:44] Sunraku**
A forest?
**[15:00] Sunraku**
Awesome!
**[15:01] Sunraku**
Moving around feels
pretty much like real life!
**[15:10] Sunraku**
I can run!
**[15:12] Sunraku**
I can grab!
**[15:14] Sunraku**
I can climb!
**[15:18] Sunraku**
*Failia* was so awkward to move around in...
**[15:22] Sunraku**
Actually, it feels like
an insult to compare them.
**[15:26] Sunraku**
Whoa! It's huge!
**[15:37] Sunraku**
So this is the world of *SLF*...
**[15:45] Sunraku**
So... where am I, exactly?
**[15:48] Sunraku**
Don't games like these usually start you
off in a tutorial town for beginners?
**[15:54] Narrator**
What Sunraku didn't realize
**[15:56] Narrator**
is that those who choose
"Wanderer" as their origin
**[15:59] Narrator**
will start out at a random
point in the beginners' area.
***SIGN*** The Rampant Forest
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Firstia
**[16:04] Sunraku**
This starter map looks pretty basic.
**[16:07] Sunraku**
Let's see...
**[16:09] Sunraku**
This is "The Rampant Forest,"
**[16:12] Sunraku**
and to the east is
the starting town, "Firstia."
**[16:18] Sunraku**
Guess that's it.
**[16:20] Sunraku**
Okay, I'll head roughly in that
direction while I check things out!
**[16:27] Sunraku**
I can even land properly!
**[16:30] Sunraku**
I know this stuff should go without saying,
**[16:32] Sunraku**
but actually getting to
play it feels so good!

the half-naked thing going on...
**[16:41] Sunraku**
We'll have to see how far
that high luck stat gets me.
**[16:55] Sunraku**
Right as I start playing?!
**[16:58] Sunraku**
A Goblin, huh?
**[17:00] Sunraku**
In that case...

Let's see what this combat engine's made of!

**[17:28] Sunraku**
Wow, a one-hit kill?
**[17:30] Sunraku**
But it's just a scrub enemy
in the intro, I guess.
**[17:32] Sunraku**
Hey, I leveled up!
***SIGN*** Dropped Item
Goblin Hand Axe
**[17:38] Sunraku**
Says it can be dual-wielded,
so it's an option...
**[17:41] Sunraku**
But its durability is already down to half.
**[17:44] Sunraku**
Probably won't last much longer, then.
**[17:51] Sunraku**
*Monster weaknesses,
patterns, and item drops...*
**[17:55] Sunraku**
*There's a lot to learn here.*
**[17:57] Sunraku**
*Trash game or god-tier game, you
get this feeling everywhere...*
**[18:02] Sunraku**
*The elation of diving
head-first into a new world...*
**[18:06] Sunraku**
*You just can't get that in real life!*
**[18:10] Sunraku**
Okay, let's not forget to enjoy this!
**[18:30] Sunraku**
Well, would you look at that?
**[18:32] Sunraku**
One hit from that could put me down.
***SIGN*** Vorpal Bunny
**[18:54] Sunraku**
One critical won't do it for this one, huh?!
**[19:02] Sunraku**
Is this all you've got, god-tier game?
**[19:05] Sunraku**
If you go for the neck
with every single pass,
**[19:08] Sunraku**
I'm gonna figure out what you're doing.
**[19:13] Sunraku**
Look at all that EXP!
**[19:14] Sunraku**
He was a tough little guy, huh?
**[19:17] Sunraku**
No weapon drops, though, huh?
**[19:19] Sunraku**
I wanted that knife!
I bet it's powerful as heck!
***SIGN*** Condition Achieved
***SIGN*** You Learned
Flash Counter
**[19:24] Sunraku**
"Condition Achieved"?
**[19:27] Sunraku**
I can learn skills by taking
certain actions, huh?
***SIGN*** New Skill
***SIGN*** Flash Counter
***SIGN*** Bonus added to counters from parry.
***SIGN*** Parry: Deflecting an attack with your weapon
**[19:30] Sunraku**
Hey, yeah, I haven't used any skills yet...
**[19:34] Sunraku**
This game's pretty well designed.
**[19:37] Sunraku**
Since a player's own skill
supplements your dodges and parries,
**[19:40] Sunraku**
I can fight pretty well against
even higher-level enemies.
**[19:44] Sunraku**
That makes me wanna try a bunch
of different fighting styles!
**[19:48] Sunraku**
Hang on!
**[19:49] Sunraku**
Have I been played this whole time
without encountering a single bug?!
***SIGN*** Invisibility Bug
**[19:52] Player**
What's going on? I can't see anything!
***SIGN*** Clipping Bug
**[19:55] Player**
Hey, I found a hidden world!
***SIGN*** Swish
***SIGN*** Hitbox Bug
**[19:57] Player**
Darn it! Why can't I hit you?!
***SIGN*** Swish
***SIGN*** Swish
***SIGN*** Swish
***SIGN*** Swish
**[20:00] Sunraku**
Awesome! That's a god-tier game for you!
**[20:04] Sunraku**
I honestly wasn't sure if I could enjoy
a bug-free game after all this time,
**[20:08] Sunraku**
but I can really have a good time with this!
**[20:11] Sunraku**
I guess they don't call it
"god-tier" for nothing!
**[20:15] Sunraku**
Okay!
**[20:16] Sunraku**
I'm gonna get me a tough
bunny's kitchen knife!
**[20:20] Sunraku**
Where are you, bunny?!
***SIGN*** Spin Slash
A spinning slash area attack
**[20:39] Sunraku**
That skill's kinda crummy.
**[20:41] Sunraku**
The big flashy swing
leaves me open for too long.
**[20:45] Sunraku**
Hey, finally leveled again.
**[20:47] Sunraku**
I should probably allocate
my stat points already...
**[20:53] Sunraku**
I wish that Vorpal Bunny thing
had a higher spawn rate, though...
***SIGN*** Vorpal Bunny
**[20:59] Sunraku**
Guess it was a rare enemy, huh?
**[21:01] Sunraku**
It took me forever to get
a matching set of those knives!
***SIGN*** Play Time
**[21:09] Sunraku**
Since I beat about fifty of 'em...
**[21:11] Sunraku**
I guess that's a drop rate of about 5 percent or so?
***SIGN*** Vorpal Chopper
Bonus to critical damage.
**[21:14] Sunraku**
This thing's pretty darn rare, huh?
**[21:16] Sunraku**
They've got better stats
than the Mercenary Twinblade,
**[21:19] Sunraku**
so I'd better take good care of 'em.
***SIGN*** Spin Slash
Flash Counter
Tap Step
Screw Pierce
**[21:21] Sunraku**
And I learned a few new skills...
**[21:24] Sunraku**
But Screw Pierce seems
like the only useful one.
***SIGN*** New Skill
***SIGN*** Screw Pierce
***SIGN*** Deals a quick strike with a compact weapon
This attack is powerful but cannot be chained
**[21:27] Sunraku**
The others seem more
"better than nothing" tier.
**[21:30] Sunraku**
Still, I'm not gonna gain any more levels
with the scrub-tier monsters around here.
**[21:35] Sunraku**
I'd better move on.
***SIGN*** The Rampant Forest
***SIGN*** Firstia
**[21:38] Sunraku**
I've strayed pretty far away
from the starting town, huh?
***SIGN*** The Rampant Forest
***SIGN*** Firstia
**[21:41] Sunraku**
At this point, I'm a lot closer
to the next one, Secondale.
***SIGN*** Secondale
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[21:46] Sunraku**
To get to Secondale...
**[21:48] Sunraku**
I've gotta cross this bridge
over the ravine, huh?
**[22:01] Sunraku**
Aha, I see.
**[22:07] Sunraku**
I gotta beat you if
I wanna cross. Is that it?
**[22:16] Sunraku**
Sounds good to me.
**[22:18] Sunraku**
Looks like I've got me
a real challenge at last.
***SIGN*** Ravenous Python
***SIGN*** Area Boss
***SIGN*** Rec. Level:
***SIGN*** Rec. Party Size:
**[22:22] Sunraku**
Soloing a boss meant for a party, huh?
**[22:25] Sunraku**
With the great ratings *SLF* gets,
**[22:28] Sunraku**
it probably won't be dishing out
any silly bug attacks.
**[22:30] Sunraku**
*A snake monster's attacks
usually consist of...*
**[22:33] Sunraku**
*Coil, bite, tail swipe, swallow, venom...*
**[22:36] Sunraku**
*That should be all.*
**[22:38] Sunraku**
With an avatar that actually
moves the way I want it to,
**[22:41] Sunraku**
I don't need defenses to beat you!
**[22:44] Sunraku**
Give me something to enjoy here,
**[22:47] Sunraku**
*SLF*!
***SIGN*** The Rampant Forest
**[23:42] kids**

***SIGN*** SLF Mini
**[23:46] Emul**
Mini!
**[23:52] Rei**
H-Hello, there!
**[23:54] Rei**
I'm Psyger-0!
**[23:55] Rei**
I'd like to show you the prologue text that
rolls at the start of *Shangri-La Frontier*,
**[24:00] Rei**
which Hizutome-kun skipped!
**[24:03] Rei**
Take it away!
***SIGN*** The land is vast, and through it is woven the grand tapestry of life...
We, who live in the here and now, use the artifacts of the past
still breathing in history and ruins to trace the footsteps of the Divine.
***SIGN*** You are a pioneer, appearing with the wind from the east, and though
brought to your knees time and again, you brave ever onward...
And, like the wind, some of you will simply fade away.
What is the purpose of your life?
***SIGN*** Will you trust your life to the swing of your sword?
Will you peer into the depths of the magical arts
and seek to master your craft?
Or will you choose not to fight at all?
***SIGN*** All options can be found here.
All options exist within you.
Now, take your first step.
Explore the unknown, your future, and your potential.
***SIGN*** This is the mission given unto you,
the children of the Divinity born—fallen—upon this land.
**[24:59] Rei**
Divine? Divinity?
**[25:01] Rei**
There's so much intriguing jargon, isn't there?
**[25:03] Rei**
Well, see you again soon!
**[25:05] Rei**
Bye-bye!
**[25:08] kids**
*SLF* Theater!
***SIGN*** SLF Mini
**[25:12] Emul**
Mini!
**[25:17] Faeria**
Oh, no! I hit him!
**[25:19] Sunraku**
What the hell is your problem?!
**[25:21] Sunraku**
What are you even doing in that carriage?!
**[25:23] Sunraku**
I told you to wait on the dang bench!
***SIGN*** Tee-hee
**[25:27] Faeria**
Curse you, dark lord!
**[25:29] Faeria**
He's the reason all of this is happening!
**[25:31] Sunraku**
But this is all your fault!
***SIGN*** Tee-hee
**[25:35] Faeria**
Now I'm mad!
**[25:36] Faeria**
I'm not going anywhere with you!
***SIGN*** Huh?!
**[25:38] Sunraku**
You're the one who causes all the problems,
**[25:40] Sunraku**
and I'm the one fighting, not you!
***SIGN*** Tee-hee

Awesome...

That's gotta be high-level
equipment... right?
**[00:12] Mob B**
And that crest...
**[00:14] Mob B**
It's from that achievement-focused

**[00:17] Mob A**
What's someone like that doing
here in the starting town?

his characters the same name,*

**[00:32] Psyger-0**
*Since there's no way a starting

**[00:53] Rei**
Maybe I just missed him.
***SIGN*** A Peculiar One

Give me something to enjoy here,
**[02:44] Sunraku**
*SLF*!
**[02:57] Sunraku**
First, let's watch your patterns.
***SIGN*** Tap Step
Adds a bonus to evasion.
**[03:14] Sunraku**
It's still a boss for beginners.
**[03:16] Sunraku**
Its movements are easy to read,
and it won't have any
**[03:20] Sunraku**
insta-kill moves!
**[03:24] Sunraku**
I can beat this thing without taking a hit.
**[03:27] Sunraku**
Since even one hit would kill me anyway!
**[03:38] Sunraku**
I knew your durability was getting low,
**[03:40] Sunraku**
but did you just break on your first hit?!
**[03:44] Sunraku**
I was getting attached to
these little guys, too!
**[03:48] Sunraku**
A tough hide, eh?
**[03:50] Sunraku**
In that case...
**[03:55] Sunraku**
I've got something I'd like to try out.
**[04:01] Sunraku**
I'll make you into snake fillets!
**[04:05] Sunraku**
Screw Pi—
**[04:16] Sunraku**
Wh-What the heck is this?
**[04:18] Sunraku**
Poop?!
***SIGN*** Status Effect

***SIGN*** Take damage every ten seconds.
***SIGN*** Status Effect
Poison
***SIGN*** Take damage every ten seconds.
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Poison
**[04:23] Sunraku**
Well, hmm.
**[04:25] Sunraku**
I might've underestimated this thing.
**[04:30] Sunraku**
Well, don't you look proud of yourself?
**[04:34] Sunraku**
I'll have you know,
**[04:36] Sunraku**
I've beaten trash games with
mechanics *way* cheaper than this.
**[04:41] Sunraku**
A little poop-flinging won't
be enough to get me down!
**[04:48] Sunraku**
*The poison deals me one
damage every ten seconds.*
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Poison
**[04:50] Sunraku**
*Which means I've got about four minutes left.*
**[04:55] Sunraku**
*I'll need a reliable way to land
criticals if I wanna make it in time!*
**[05:00] Sunraku**
*Criticals in this game
don't trigger at random.*
**[05:04] Sunraku**
*They seem to trigger when you
land an attack in an ideal way,*
**[05:06] Sunraku**
*or hit an enemy in their weak point.*
**[05:10] Sunraku**
*This thing's covered in tough scales...*
**[05:13] Sunraku**
*In other words, the only weak point*
**[05:14] Sunraku**
*has gotta be the head!*
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Poison
**[05:23] Sunraku**
Still, it's hard to land a hit there!
**[05:25] Sunraku**
In that case...
**[05:26] Sunraku**
I'll have to make my own weak point!
**[05:33] Sunraku**
Screw Pierce!
**[05:41] Sunraku**
Yes!
**[05:42] Sunraku**
*Now, stack more hits on the wound!*
**[05:47] Sunraku**
*The defensive properties of
a wounded section change,*
**[05:49] Sunraku**
*allowing criticals to trigger there!*
**[05:54] Sunraku**
*Now, just hack away until
my stamina gives out!*
**[06:01] Sunraku**
Crud! I don't even know how
much HP this thing has!
**[06:05] Sunraku**
Am I even gonna make it?!
**[06:11] Sunraku**
Yeah...
**[06:13] Sunraku**
Beating *Failia Chronicle*
made me pretty cocky.
**[06:18] Sunraku**
"It's just a mass-appeal game for casuals..."
**[06:21] Sunraku**
"I can no-hit this thing easy,
no need for recovery items..."
**[06:24] Sunraku**
That's what I thought.
**[06:28] Sunraku**
I was arrogant.
**[06:35] Sunraku**
But...
**[06:41] Sunraku**
Flash Counter!
***SIGN*** Shelve Weapon
**[06:49] Sunraku**
You're not gonna eat me that easily!
**[06:52] Sunraku**
You're gonna regret covering
me with your poop!
**[06:55] Sunraku**
Screw Pierce!
**[07:17] Sunraku**
Heck yeah!
**[07:19] Sunraku**
I freaking did it!
**[07:21] Sunraku**
You see that, poopsnake?!
***SIGN*** Dropped Item
Python Scale
***SIGN*** Dropped Item
Python White Hair
**[07:29] Sunraku**
I bet these dropped items
could fetch some major dough!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Poison
**[07:34] Sunraku**
Oh, crap! I'm still running out of time!
**[07:37] Sunraku**
Is that all the loot it dropped?
**[07:39] Sunraku**
I didn't miss anything?
**[07:42] Sunraku**
I gotta distribute my level-up points...
**[07:44] Sunraku**
No, there's no time!
**[07:46] Sunraku**
Just dump it all into stamina and agility!
**[07:50] Sunraku**
The minute I get to town,
I'll buy an antidote...
**[07:52] Sunraku**
Wait, I dunno where the shops are!
I won't make it!
**[07:55] Sunraku**
I'd better register my respawn point first!
**[07:58] Sunraku**
That'd be an inn, right?
**[08:00] Sunraku**
But I don't know where
that is either, damn it!
**[08:11] Reiji**
You want to tame a dog-type
monster, right, Mia?
***SIGN*** Reiji
***SIGN*** Mia
***SIGN*** °Tame = To befriend and domesticate an animal
**[08:14] Mia**
Yeah.
**[08:15] Mia**
I'm not allowed to have pets in my apartment,
**[08:18] Mia**
but I know you can have monsters
as pets in this game...
**[08:21] Mia**
So I hope you'll help me
out today, Yamamoto-kun!
**[08:25] Reiji**
*After three months of trying,*
**[08:27] Reiji**
*I finally got the girl I'm crushing
on to start playing* SLF *with me!
**[08:33] Reiji**
*And I've maneuvered myself into the
role of the advice-giving veteran!*
**[08:38] Reiji**
*I can't let this chance pass me by!*
**[08:41] Mia**
Um... Yamamoto-kun?
**[08:44] Reiji**
S-Sorry, it's nothing!
**[08:48] Reiji**
Mia, game etiquette dictates that
we don't use real-life names here.
**[08:52] Reiji**
We use character names.
**[08:54] Mia**
Oh, really?
**[08:56] Mia**
Reiji-kun, then, right?
**[08:58] Reiji**
*Yes!*
**[08:59] Reiji**
*I even got her calling me by my given name!*
**[09:02] Reiji**
*I owe you big,* SLF*!
**[09:05] Mia**
What's that?
**[09:08] Mia**
A monster?!
**[09:12] Reiji**
Wait, wait!
**[09:13] Reiji**
It's got a character name!
**[09:14] Reiji**
It's not a monster, it's a player!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[09:17] Mia**
So I shouldn't attack?
**[09:19] Reiji**
If you PK, you'll end up with
a skull in front of your name!
***SIGN*** PK = Player Kill: To kill another player
***SIGN*** Mia
**[09:25] Mia**
I wouldn't want that...
**[09:27] Mia**
But what's he running like that for, then?
**[09:31] Reiji**
I bet he got hit with that poison poop.
**[09:33] Reiji**
Hey!
**[09:35] Reiji**
You, over there! Sunraku!
**[09:38] Reiji**
Keep going straight! That white
building there is the inn!
***SIGN*** Inn
**[09:41] Reiji**
But your respawn point won't register
until you get into the bed,
**[09:44] Reiji**
so be careful!
**[09:47] Sunraku**
Thanks, man!
**[09:50] Reiji**
You saw this a lot back
when the game started,
**[09:53] Reiji**
before there was a whole
lot of fan documentation...
**[09:55] Reiji**
Players who got poisoned by that snake
**[09:57] Reiji**
and had to run full-tilt into town.
**[10:01] Reiji**
Looking at the guy,
**[10:03] Reiji**
I'm betting he's going for an agility build
and sold off his armor at the start.
**[10:06] Mia**
Reiji-kun, you sounded like a
real veteran just now! I love it.
**[10:11] Reiji**
You think?
**[10:14] Reiji**
Thanks, Mr. Bluebird!
***SIGN*** Inn

**[10:27] NPC Receptionist**

**[10:28] Sunraku**
Skip the explanation and rent me a dang bed!
**[10:31] NPC Receptionist**
Understood.

I'll see if I can find you an free roo—
**[10:33] Sunraku**
Hurry up!
**[10:34] Sunraku**
Hur! Ry! Up!

I'm down to my last HP, here!
**[10:39] NPC Receptionist**

**[11:06] Rakuro**

**[11:09] Rakuro**
Still, I ended up dead.
**[11:12] Rakuro**
I'm just glad I didn't lose my items.
**[11:16] Rakuro**
That player who told me where the inn was...
**[11:18] Rakuro**
I'm gonna have to thank him
the next time I see him.
**[11:21] Rakuro**
*Still...* SLF*, the god-tier game.

*It's pretty darn cool!*

**[11:47] Sunraku**
I'll need a powerful main weapon

**[11:52] Sunraku**
I wanna give this thing
all I've got, after all!
**[11:54] Sunraku**
I'm gonna hit the top player ranks!
**[11:58] Mob A**
Who is that half-naked bird-man?
**[12:01] Mob B**

**[12:02] Mob C**

***SIGN*** A staff made from wood.
A simple, straightforward weapon.
***SIGN*** Stone Staff
**[12:40] Sunraku**
Nothing too hot here.
***SIGN*** Fossil Rod
***SIGN*** A rod made from some kind of fossil.
Extremely fragile.
***SIGN*** Wood Shield
***SIGN*** A shield made from wood.
A simple, straightforward shield.
**[12:42] Sunraku**
My Vorpal Choppers are way better.
**[12:46] NPC Shopkeep**
Well, the Vorpal Chopper
is a pretty rare weapon.
**[12:50] Sunraku**
Oh, I was wondering about that.
**[12:51] NPC Shopkeep**
If you want something to top
that, I'd have to make it.
**[12:55] Sunraku**
You can make me stuff?
**[12:56] NPC Shopkeep**
If you bring me materials.
***SIGN*** Diremarsh Waste
***SIGN*** Secondale
**[12:58] Narrator**
The path from Secondale to
the third city, Thirdrema,
**[13:03] Narrator**
passes through the Diremarsh Waste.
**[13:06] sign**
Diremarsh Waste
**[13:08] Narrator**
There's a location within
it where ores can be mined.
**[13:11] Sunraku**
So if I bring him some ore from
here, he'll make me a weapon.
**[13:16] Sunraku**
One, two...
***SIGN*** Stone
A completely unremarkable piece of rock.
**[13:22] Sunraku**
Another Stone?!
**[13:24] Sunraku**
Where's all the stupid ore?!
**[13:28] Sunraku**
He said I'd need five or six
pieces to make a good weapon...
***SIGN*** Gray Ore
Has no special characteristics,
but can be put to various uses.
**[13:33] Sunraku**
But I've been swinging this pickax for
thirty minutes and I've only got two!
**[13:37] Sunraku**
Plus the marsh mud makes it hard to move...
**[13:40] Sunraku**
And this pickax I bought to do the mining...
**[13:45] Sunraku**
is too darn heavy!
***SIGN*** Mud Frog
***SIGN*** It protects itself
with a coating of mud
**[13:55] Sunraku**
What do you want?
**[13:57] Sunraku**
Buzz off already. I've got stuff to do!
**[14:09] Sunraku**
Okay. I get the picture.
**[14:12] Sunraku**
Since you weren't being aggressive,
I thought we could coexist...
**[14:16] Sunraku**
But if you wanna be turned
into materials that bad,
**[14:19] Sunraku**
I'll oblige!
**[14:25] Sunraku**
How do you like that, dummy frog?!
**[14:27] Sunraku**
Now I'll finish you off!
**[14:31] Sunraku**
*The Splitblade Leather armor I'm wearing now*
**[14:33] Sunraku**
*is made from Mud Frog Skin,
and it has slash resistance.*
**[14:37] Sunraku**
*So it's pretty likely slash attacks
won't work on froggy here, either.*
**[14:42] Sunraku**
*Which means my only options are
bludgeon and pierce attacks!*
**[14:46] Sunraku**
*And so...*
**[14:47] Sunraku**
*It's time for my Goblin Hand Axe,*
**[14:49] Sunraku**
*whose edge is so blunt it actually
deals bludgeon damage, to shine!*
**[14:57] Sunraku**
This is taking forever!
**[14:59] Sunraku**
Why can't I run in this stupid marsh?!
**[15:01] Narrator**
The marsh slows down player
movement significantly,
**[15:05] Narrator**
forcing them into a walking state.
**[15:09] Sunraku**
With a body shape like that, I bet it
can't get off its back very easily!
***SIGN*** Dropped Item
Mud Frog Skin
**[15:22] Sunraku**
That was so easy, it didn't even cheer me up.
**[15:25] Sunraku**
Back to mining, I guess.
**[15:28] Sunraku**
It's a pain, but...
**[15:31] Mob Girl B**
It'll be fine.
**[15:31] Sunraku**
*I'm seeing more new players around...*
**[15:32] Mob Girl A**
There's no way we can do it at night.
**[15:34] Mob Girl B**
Sure we can!
**[15:35] Mob Girl A**
No way, no way!
**[15:37] Mob Girl B**
We totally can! You can't be afraid to try!
**[15:37] Sunraku**
*I'll probably be seeing more soon,
with summer break starting.*
**[15:40] Sunraku**
*Which means it's only a matter of time
before the race for materials begins.*
**[15:45] Sunraku**
*If I don't wanna get caught up in that,*
**[15:47] Sunraku**
*I'd better collect as much
as I can, while I can!*
**[15:53] NPC Shopkeep**
W-Wow.
**[15:54] NPC Shopkeep**
You got quite a lot in just three hours!
**[15:59] Sunraku**
It's gotta be enough to make
something pretty good, huh?
**[16:02] NPC Shopkeep**
Hold on. I'll bring up the list.
**[16:06] NPC Shopkeep**
Hey, hey...
**[16:08] NPC Shopkeep**
You've got a Marshcoffin Fossil!
**[16:11] Sunraku**
Yeah, I remember picking up that weird thing.
**[16:14] NPC Shopkeep**
I can use that to make this!
***SIGN*** Marsh Dagger
**[16:18] Sunraku**
Hey, nice.
**[16:20] Sunraku**
I'll take it, then.
**[16:22] Sunraku**
And make it a double!
**[16:23] NPC Shopkeep**
Sure thing.
**[16:24] NPC Shopkeep**
I'll have them made right away.
***SIGN*** Weapon Shop Avenue
***SIGN*** Item Shop Avenue
**[16:33] sign**
Marsh Daggers
***SIGN*** After landing a critical, reductions to
durability are temporarily halved.
**[16:33] NPC Shopkeep**
There you are. A pair of Marsh Daggers!
**[16:38] Sunraku**
Wow, god-tier weapons!
**[16:41] Sunraku**
And halving durability reduction
for a time after a critical
**[16:46] Sunraku**
makes them perfect for my playstyle!
**[16:49] NPC Shopkeep**
Make sure to find and bring
back even more materials.
**[16:52] NPC Shopkeep**
Raising your weapons is part of our job, too.
**[16:55] Sunraku**
"Raising" my weapons?
**[16:57] NPC Shopkeep**
Users of forging magic like me
**[17:00] NPC Shopkeep**
can do more than just make weapons.
**[17:02] NPC Shopkeep**
We can also upgrade them.
**[17:06] NPC Shopkeep**
But see, weapons are like
children to a blacksmith,
**[17:10] NPC Shopkeep**
so we prefer to say we "raise" them
to uncouth concepts like "upgrade."
**[17:15] Sunraku**
I get it!
**[17:16] Sunraku**
*By the way, I gotta say,*
**[17:18] Sunraku**
*the NPC speech and mannerisms
here are something else.*
***SIGN*** A CHARACTER CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER.
**[17:21] Sunraku**
*He's having a properly responsive
conversation with me.*
**[17:24] Sunraku**
*What kind of AI does this thing use?*
**[17:27] NPC Shopkeep**
Oh, hey, it's getting dark.
**[17:29] NPC Shopkeep**
Make sure you don't leave
town in armor like that.
**[17:34] Sunraku**
How come?
**[17:35] NPC Shopkeep**
Because nocturnal monsters
are dangerous, of course.
**[17:39] Sunraku**
Oh, the game's got that going on, huh?
**[17:42] Sunraku**
Got it. I'll be careful.
**[17:43] NPC Shopkeep**
Sure, see you later!
***SIGN*** Weapon Shop
**[17:46] Sunraku**
That's what I told him...
**[17:48] Sunraku**
But my penalty for dying's already passed.
**[17:51] Sunraku**
And I got some good info!
**[17:53] Sunraku**
Heck yeah!
**[17:55] Sunraku**
Time to use those
"dangerous nocturnal monsters"
**[17:57] Sunraku**
to break in my new weapons
and pile on some levels!
**[18:04] Psyger-0**
*Curious.*
**[18:06] Psyger-0**
*I've searched the entire beginners' area.*
**[18:10] Psyger-0**
Highest Strength Enchant Hell Flame...
**[18:14] Psyger-0**
Apocalypse!
**[18:19] Psyger-0**
*The only remaining possibility*
**[18:21] Psyger-0**
*is that he managed to defeat this snake
without stopping by town or dying*
**[18:24] Psyger-0**
*and headed for Secondale...*
**[18:30] Psyger-0**
Could a brand-new player really
accomplish such a thing?
**[18:35] Psyger-0**
Well, Hizutome-kun... probably could.
***SIGN*** Redcap Goblin
**[19:02] Sunraku**
Not bad at all!
**[19:04] Sunraku**
*Okay... let's lay out what I've learned.*
**[19:08] Sunraku**
*First, monster spawns change
based on if it's day or night.*
**[19:13] Sunraku**
*Most nocturnal monsters are as aggressive
and dangerous as the weapons seller said.*
**[19:19] Sunraku**
*That's helped me to make
progress leveling up,*
**[19:21] Sunraku**
*and to learn some new skills, too.*
**[19:25] Sunraku**
*But...*
**[19:26] Sunraku**
*this particular guy seems a
little too powerful, doesn't he?!*
**[19:29] Sunraku**
*It's totally broken!*
**[19:32] Sunraku**
*This thing's movement and attacks are on a
whole other level from the forest Goblins!*
**[19:37] Sunraku**
*It's got lots of HP, and incorporates
feints into its fighting style*
**[19:41] Sunraku**
*like it's been doing it all its life!*
**[19:44] Sunraku**
*But the worst part of all...*
**[19:55] Sunraku**
Oh, come on!
**[19:56] Sunraku**
Call Allies is supposed to
be a weak monster ability!
**[20:00] Sunraku**
*I had enough trouble with one,
but look at all these!*
**[20:04] Sunraku**
*Even running away at full
tilt, I might not survive...*
**[20:09] Sunraku**
*Running away?*
**[20:11] Sunraku**
*Hey, man, are you losing it?*
**[20:13] Sunraku**
*Are you enjoying this, or aren't you?!*
**[20:27] Sunraku**
Is that all you got?!
**[20:31] Sunraku**
Give me even more to enjoy!
**[20:36] Sunraku**
*I've been underestimating this game.*
**[20:42] Sunraku**
*I've been having a lot of fun.*
**[20:45] Sunraku**
*I've been telling myself,
"god-tier games are pretty neat."*
**[20:48] Sunraku**
*You could even say I was getting into it.*
**[20:52] Sunraku**
*But this game...*
**[20:56] Sunraku**
*SLF *has way more to offer!
**[21:01] Sunraku**
*On this day, in this instant...*

***SIGN*** Black Wolf Nightslayer
**[01:52] Psyger-0**
And...
**[01:54] Psyger-0**
You're certain that Sunraku was his name?
**[01:58] Reiji**
Y-Yeah... I'm pretty sure that
was his character name...
**[02:05] Reiji**
Mia! Don't do that!
**[02:07] Reiji**
That's not a monster, it's a player!
**[02:10] Mia**
R-Really?
**[02:11] Mia**
But it's really scary-looking...
**[02:15] Reiji**
Scary-looking players are still players!
**[02:18] Psyger-0**
So, this player named "Sunraku."
Do you know where he ha—
**[02:23] Psyger-0**
Er, where did he go?
**[02:24] Reiji**
R-Right!
**[02:25] Reiji**
I think he'd gotten a face full
of poison from the Python.
**[02:28] Reiji**
He ran off into Secondale!
**[02:31] Psyger-0**
And he was half-naked, with a bird's head?
**[02:34] Reiji**
Yeah, but he could've changed
his equipment by now...
**[02:37] Mia**
The mask had such a scary expression.
**[02:40] Mia**
I thought it was a monster!
**[02:43] Psyger-0**
*I almost didn't believe it,*
**[02:45] Psyger-0**
*but he really beat the Ravenous Python
without visiting the first town...*
**[02:50] Psyger-0**
Thank you for the information.
**[02:51] Psyger-0**
As an expression of my gratitude...
**[02:56] Psyger-0**
Take it.
***SIGN*** Gift
***SIGN*** Coordinate Teleporter
**[03:00] Mia**
Th-Thanks.
**[03:02] Psyger-0**
Now...
**[03:04] Psyger-0**
I'm in a hurry. Goodbye.
**[03:14] Mia**
So fast!
**[03:15] Mia**
Who was that?
**[03:17] Reiji**
Not sure, but the emblem on the cape...
**[03:21] Reiji**
I think it's from a clan focused on that
unique monster, Lycagon the Nightslayer.
**[03:25] Mia**
Unique monster?
**[03:27] Mia**
Lycagon?
**[03:28] Reiji**
Unique monsters are a
special class of monsters
**[03:32] Reiji**
with both an individual name and a title.
**[03:36] Reiji**
Most monsters, when you beat them
or capture them or whatever,
**[03:39] Reiji**
respawn as a new individual after
a set period of time passes.
**[03:43] Reiji**
But for the unique monsters, there's
only one of each in the whole world.
***SIGN*** The Seven Colossi
**[03:49] Reiji**
Rumor says there's seven of them in *SLF*,
**[03:53] Reiji**
but we don't even know the spawn
criteria for most of them.
**[03:57] Reiji**
For each of these unique
monsters, called "Colossi,"
**[04:00] Reiji**
lots of top players have formed
clans focused on taking them out.
**[04:08] Mia**
Wow...
**[04:09] Mia**
So they're just really rare monsters?
**[04:11] Reiji**
That's about what it boils down to, yeah.
**[04:14] Reiji**
The issue is how abnormally strong they are.
**[04:18] Reiji**
See, it's been a year since the game started,
**[04:21] Reiji**
but even with a playerbase
of over 30 million,
**[04:24] Reiji**
not one person has defeated
a single unique monster.

**[05:04] Sunraku**
*it blew 'em away in a second.*
**[05:07] Sunraku**
*One hit from that and I'm a goner, I'll bet.*

You...
**[05:53] Sunraku**
You unique monsters don't have
much going for you, do you?!

It's teleporting?!

**[08:27] Sunraku**
*Damn it...*
**[08:28] Sunraku**
*The thing's pelt is tougher than
the Ravenous Python's scales!*
**[08:32] Sunraku**
*I've been whaling on the thing for over
five minutes without taking a hit...*
**[08:35] Sunraku**
*But...*
**[08:37] Sunraku**
*The thing's so tough, I don't think
I'm actually doing any damage!*
**[08:40] Sunraku**
*Pretty sure I've landed a
hundred... no, two hundred crits!*
**[08:45] Sunraku**
*My Vorpal Choppers, which started out close
to mint, are already falling apart...*
**[08:49] Sunraku**
*If I don't find a softer
spot to land a hit on,*
**[08:52] Sunraku**
*my weapons are gonna crap out before I do!*
**[08:54] Sunraku**
*Actually, I'd say...*
**[08:56] Sunraku**
*this thing's way out of the league
of what I can fight right now!*
**[09:01] Sunraku**
*But that's the way I like it!*
**[09:03] Sunraku**
*That's the way!*
**[09:05] Sunraku**
*That's what makes it the god-tier
game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
**[09:08] Sunraku**
*This spine-tingling intensity that
makes me feel like I'm on fire...*
**[09:14] Sunraku**
*It's not possible to enjoy
a game more than this!*
**[09:18] Sunraku**
*Bugs! Garbage balance! Absurd spawn rates!*
**[09:21] Sunraku**
*I'm a gamer who's made it
through all those trash games!*
**[09:28] Sunraku**
*And since I know *you* don't
have a bugged-out hitbox...
**[09:31] Sunraku**
*There's no way in hell I'm
gonna throw in the towel!*
**[09:42] Sunraku**
*I'm too far for its attack to hit me.*
**[09:52] Sunraku**
*It's roaring?!*
**[09:54] Sunraku**
*I can't move!*
**[10:11] Sunraku**
*What'd it do to me?*
**[10:14] Sunraku**
*What'd it hit me with?*
**[10:23] Sunraku**
*Reality's a harsh mistress, huh?*
**[10:26] Sunraku**
*I'm not gonna suddenly
learn an awesome new skill*
**[10:29] Sunraku**
*or get saved by a run-in from some
mysterious high-level player...*
**[10:33] Sunraku**
*None of that cinematic stuff for me.*
**[10:37] Sunraku**
*Actually... I did get one break.*
**[10:40] Sunraku**
*Somehow, after a hit like that,
I've got an HP remaining...*
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[10:44] Sunraku**
*It's gotta be a miracle.*
**[10:51] Sunraku**
You're absurdly strong, you know that?
**[10:54] Sunraku**
But that absurdity was
intentionally coded into you.
**[10:59] Sunraku**
You're exactly as strong as
your creators wanted you to be.
**[11:03] Sunraku**
*In other words...*
**[11:06] Sunraku**
*It's a* beatable *absurdity.
**[11:11] Sunraku**
I've made up my mind.
**[11:13] Sunraku**
I don't give a damn about
the final boss or the story.
**[11:16] Sunraku**
It might not be now, but someday...
**[11:19] Sunraku**
I'm gonna beat you, for sure.

You better not let anyone
beat you before then...

"The afflicted body part gains
resistance to magic effects."
**[13:14] Sunraku**
"The curse can be removed
through the prayers of a Saint
**[13:18] Sunraku**
or the defeat of the curse's caster"...
**[13:27] Sunraku**
The kind of curse where you gotta
destroy the root to be rid of it, huh?
**[13:37] Sunraku**
Nice weather today.
**[13:41] Sunraku**
This...
**[13:42] Sunraku**
This is...
**[13:49] Sunraku**
This is trash game bullshit!
**[13:53] Mobs**
Going around half-naked?
**[13:54] Mobs**
So lame!
**[13:55] Mobs**
Couldn't be me.
**[13:56] Mobs**
What a freak!
**[13:57] Mobs**
Is it a reference to something?
**[14:00] Sunraku**
Calm down, Sunraku.
**[14:02] Sunraku**
Remember the three principles
you learned from trash games:
**[14:06] Sunraku**
Patient mind.
**[14:09] Sunraku**
Unbreakable spirit.
**[14:12] Sunraku**
And cool-headed judgment.

from just fighting a unique monster...
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Mercenary (Twin Blade User) Skill Points Remaining: 50
***SIGN*** Cash on Hand 9000 Mahni
**[14:24] Sunraku**
Which means I leveled up quite a bit,
**[14:25] Sunraku**
buffed up my skills and got lots
of stat points to allocate!
**[14:29] Sunraku**
This might be a good time to define my build.
**[14:32] Sunraku**
I'd better distribute these
fifty points carefully.
**[14:40] Sunraku**
Vitality, 6.
***SIGN*** Redo
**[14:43] Sunraku**
I made myself a glass cannon
who can die in one hit!
**[14:46] Sunraku**
But what else could I do?!
**[14:47] Sunraku**
I'm locked out of two out
of four of my armor slots!
**[14:50] Sunraku**
Spending points on vitality
is like pissing in the ocean!
**[14:52] Sunraku**
Same with my HP!
**[14:54] Sunraku**
I'm just gonna have to cover
with speed and stamina!
**[14:57] Sunraku**
And my best stat is a 65 in luck...
**[15:01] Sunraku**
The reason I got off then
with one HP remaining...
**[15:04] Sunraku**
That's gotta be my luck at play... right?
**[15:10] Sunraku**
It's gotta do something, right?
**[15:12] Sunraku**
Yeah, I mean... I've been through
enough hell already, right?
**[15:16] Sunraku**
It's okay to turn to luck for help, right?!
**[15:21] Sunraku**
Ow!
**[15:25] Sunraku**
What now?!
**[15:28] Sunraku**
What's a rabbit doing...
**[15:29] Sunraku**
I-Is that...
***SIGN*** Vorpal Bunny
**[15:31] Sunraku**
a Vorpal Bunny?!
**[15:34] Sunraku**
It is, right?
**[15:35] Sunraku**
Though, it doesn't look quite the same...
**[15:37] Sunraku**
Hang on, does this game let
monsters spawn in towns?!
**[15:44] Sunraku**
Get back here, you!
**[15:51] Sunraku**
No, that outfit it's wearing...
**[15:53] Sunraku**
That's not just some Vorpal Bunny!
**[15:59] Sunraku**
I bet if I catch it, I'll get a rare item!
**[16:02] Sunraku**
It's gotta be that kind of thing!
**[16:09] Sunraku**
Yes! I got you!

A door?
***SIGN*** Unique Scenario
Invitation from Rabituza
**[16:29] Sunraku**
What the...
**[16:31] Sunraku**
"Unique Scenario: Invitation from Rabituza"?
**[16:34] Sunraku**
I get it. I saw this on
the game guide site...
**[16:37] Sunraku**
I think...
**[16:39] (Flashback) Rakuro**
"*SLF* has a sweeping main story
about the exploration of the world,
**[16:43] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*but it's also got a huge
number of side quests.*
**[16:47] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*One subset of these is
called 'unique scenarios,'*
**[16:50] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*mystery scenarios whose
unlock times, locations,*
**[16:53] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*contents, and flags aren't publicly known."*
**[16:58] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*"So the equipment, skills, and spells you
can acquire in these unique scenarios...*
**[17:02] Sunraku**
What the heck is this?
**[17:03] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*...are said to all be top-class."*
**[17:07] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*So it's not unusual to see clans
searching desperately to find*
**[17:12] (Flashback) Rakuro**
*these unique scenarios, huh?*
**[17:16] Sunraku**
To encounter one this
early in my playthrough...
**[17:19] Sunraku**
Is this the result of dumping
my stat points into luck?!
**[17:22] Sunraku**
I won't let this chance slip away!
***SIGN*** Unique Scenario
Invitation from Rabituza
***SIGN*** Rec. Level 80
***SIGN*** Rec. Level 80

***SIGN*** Rabituza
**[17:50] Sunraku**
Wh-What is this place?!
**[18:02] Sunraku**
Everywhere I look...
**[18:04] Sunraku**
It's Vorpal Bunnies?!
**[18:08] Sunraku**
Did I end up in a monsters' lair?
**[18:11] Emul**
My fondest welcomes to you, Sunraku-san!
**[18:14] Emul**
I've *dearly* wanted to meet you!
**[18:18] Sunraku**
What?! Hello?!
**[18:21] Emul**
All of Rabituza is abuzz about you, you know!
**[18:25] Emul**
Despite your great personal weakness,
**[18:27] Emul**
you had the courage to attempt
the Nightslayer all on your own!
**[18:29] Emul**
And the skills to continue striking perfect
deadly blows without taking a single hit...!
**[18:35] Emul**
You are the embodiment of the vorpal soul!
**[18:38] Sunraku**
V-Vorpal soul?
**[18:40] Emul**
If only I could be like you!
**[18:42] Sunraku**
B-But I barely left a scratch on the thing...
**[18:46] Emul**
Only because it's so very, very powerful!
**[18:48] Emul**
The Night Emperor is a Colossus,
**[18:49] Emul**
capable of gobbling down
wyverns like a midday snack!
**[18:53] Emul**
That you are even here
speaking to me now suggests
**[18:55] Emul**
you are one of the pioneers
under the Divinity's protection!
**[18:57] Sunraku**
*Boy, this bunny loves to talk...*
**[18:59] Emul**
And those marks upon your body prove that
**[19:02] Emul**
the Night Emperor regards
you not as mere prey,
**[19:04] Emul**
but as a fellow being!
**[19:07] Emul**
How amazing!
**[19:08] Sunraku**
*It's not the first game I've
played where the monsters talk...*
**[19:12] Sunraku**
*Is this thing an NPC?*
**[19:14] Sunraku**
*It seems pretty focused on Lycagon...*
**[19:16] Sunraku**
*Actually, that one trait of the Mark...*
***SIGN*** Conversations with NPCs will be affected by
the presence of Lycagon's Mark
**[19:22] Sunraku**
*Is this what it was talking about?*
**[19:24] Emul**
And in light of your great
deeds, my Da— ahem—
**[19:27] Emul**
our boss would very much
like to speak with you,
**[19:30] Emul**
hence why I was sent to fetch you!
**[19:32] Sunraku**
M-Meet me?
**[19:35] Sunraku**
I hope this isn't revenge for all the
Vorpal Bunnies I killed, Miss, um...
**[19:39] Emul**
Oh!
**[19:40] Emul**
You may call me Emul!
**[19:48] Sunraku**
*Is this thing really AI?*
**[19:50] Sunraku**
*It can even guess what I was gonna ask...*
**[19:52] Emul**
You may rest easy, I assure you.
**[19:54] Emul**
Our boss is *far* above petty
matters like revenge.
***SIGN*** Palace of
Rabituza
**[20:14] Sunraku**
Look at that craftsmanship!
**[20:16] Emul**
Quite a number of humans visit Rabituza,
**[20:19] Emul**
but you'll be the first
one to visit the palace!
**[20:23] Sunraku**
The first one?!
**[20:25] Sunraku**
Does that mean...
**[20:27] Sunraku**
Is this a unique scenario only I know about?!
**[20:31] Sunraku**
When that piece of crap dog gave me
this Mark, I was pretty worried...
**[20:36] Sunraku**
But it looks like my luck's
finally turned around!
**[20:39] Emul**
Come, come! Right this way!
**[20:46] Emul**
Daddy—
**[20:47] Emul**
I mean, Boss!
**[20:49] Emul**
I brought the human bearer of
the vorpal soul to see you!
**[20:53] Sunraku**
What kind of show of gratitude—
**[21:13] Vysache**
Took you long enough.
**[21:16] Vysache**
So, you're the one that pup beat
up and took a piss on?
**[21:21] Sunraku**
Y-Yeah...
**[21:23] Emul**
Go on!
**[21:23] Vysache**
You people lose your vorpal soul so quickly.
**[21:28] Vysache**
I'd assumed you were all hopeless, but...
**[21:32] Vysache**
Looks like at least one
of you's got some promise.
**[21:41] Vysache**
Well?
**[21:43] Vysache**
Mind giving me a bit of your time?
**[21:54] Vysache**
I'm the boss here in Rabituza.
**[21:57] Vysache**
The name's Vysache.

**[23:51] Rei**
This game is really hard for me.
**[23:55] Rei**
But if I can't finish it,
**[23:58] Rei**
I p-probably won't be able to go on an
adventure with Hizutome-kun... right?
**[24:05] Mana**
Listen, I think you get good
at games impressively quickly.
**[24:09] Mana**
but instead of these niche games, you might
want to play one with broader appeal.
**[24:14] Rei**
B-But...
**[24:16] Mana**
It's Hizutome's skill levels
that make him such a frea—
**[24:20] Mana**
er, such a unique individual.
**[24:23] Mana**
I understand that you don't
want to hold him back,
**[24:26] Mana**
but maybe you should work
on your fundamentals.
**[24:29] Rei**
Fundamentals?
**[24:31] Mana**
The truth is, there's a game that unique
individual will definitely try out!
**[24:37] Rei**
What is it?!
**[24:38] Mana**
The polar opposite of the
trash games. The god game!
**[24:41] Mana**
With over 30 million players
worldwide, it's *Shangri-La Frontier*?
**[24:47] Rei**
*SLF* for short, right?
**[24:49] Rei**
I've heard of it.
**[24:50] Rei**
My sister's really into it.
**[24:53] Mana**
What if you have your
sister teach you the game,
**[24:55] Mana**
and become strong enough that you
can show Hizutome-kun the ropes?
**[25:00] Rei**
Show him the ropes?
**[25:02] Rei**
Th-That's a good idea!
**[25:04] Mana**
Thanks for coming!
**[25:09] Rei**
I'm going to become strong enough
to show Hizutome-kun the ropes!
**[25:15] Mana**
*What Mana didn't realize*
**[25:16] Mana**
*was that her advice, offered
in a spirit of friendship,*
**[25:19] Mana**
*would create a hopeless
addict in *SLF*'s world.

This world is filled with
too many games to count,
**[00:06] Narrator**
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
**[00:12] Narrator**
The greatest of all games
**[00:15] Narrator**
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
**[00:20] Narrator**
*Shangri-La Frontier*, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
**[00:26] Narrator**
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,

Um, well...
**[02:32] Rei**
I thought I'd see if you had any
good games before practice...
**[02:36] Mana**
Hizutome-kun's not here, just so you know.
**[02:39] Rei**
Um, I...
**[02:41] Mana**
It's summer break, so he's probably
been immersed this whole time...

**[02:47] Mana**
You still haven't found him?
**[02:51] Rei**
Well, you said he always plays as "Sunraku,"
**[02:55] Rei**
so I've been looking for
him under that name...
**[02:58] Rei**
But he seems to have skipped the
first tutorial city entirely...
**[03:06] Mana**
He's charting his own course, huh?
**[03:08] Mana**
Typical trash game fanatic.
**[03:11] Mana**
He'll do things normal players won't do,
**[03:13] Mana**
and run into all kinds of
outrageous unique scenarios!
**[03:16] Rei**
But as the first thing he does in the game?
**[03:20] Rei**
Well... I guess it does seem plausible.
**[03:23] Mana**
I'm sure you'll find him soon.
**[03:26] Mana**
Keep going, Rei-chan!
**[03:29] Rei**
Okay...
**[03:30] Mana**
Then tell him how you feel.
**[03:37] Rumi**
I'm heading out!
**[03:39] Rakuro**
Sure.
**[03:41] Rumi**

That must be this.

"If you defeat a monster of higher level
than you with Vorpal weapons equipped,
**[04:08] Rakuro**
a special Vorpal Bunny will appear in
any town and invite you to Rabituza."
**[04:17] Rakuro**
"The Vorpal Bunny will just keep
running without saying anything,
**[04:21] Rakuro**
so make sure you don't lose sight of it."
**[04:23] Rakuro**
"Once you arrive, if you
defeat the Lagonian Python,
**[04:27] Rakuro**
a monster terrorizing their city,
**[04:29] Rakuro**
you'll learn the 'Enchant Vorpal' spell."
**[04:33] Rakuro**
Yeah, that's nothing like the unique
scenario I played yesterday.
**[04:38] Rakuro**
That sure wasn't a Python I encountered.
**[04:42] Rakuro**
It was an intimidating—if not as much
as Lycagon—yakuza boss-looking bunny.
**[04:49] (Flashback) Vysache**
Well?
**[04:50] (Flashback) Vysache**
Mind giving me a bit of your time?

You gave that pup quite a fight, didn't you?
**[05:09] (Flashback) Vysache**
That's a hell of a vorpal soul you've got.
**[05:16] (Flashback) Sunraku**
What in the world is a "vorpal soul"?
**[05:24] (Flashback) Vysache**
What do you think?
**[05:25] (Flashback) Vysache**
I'd be happy to get you up to
snuff, if you're up for it.

Get me up to snuff?

Did I choose the wrong response?!
**[06:20] (Flashback) Vysache**
Hey, I like you.

**[07:07] (Flashback) Sunraku**
H-Hang on a minute!
**[07:09] (Flashback) Sunraku**
It's been a pretty long play session for me.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I was thinking of taking a break.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Emul**
Oh, really? That's a shame...
**[07:18] (Flashback) Sunraku**
*And I'd like to look up more about
unique scenarios and unique monsters.*

I'll show you to one of our inns, then!

Oh, right. I forgot about this.

**[07:49] sign**
While equipped, user receives half EXP
but gains 2.5x stat points
(rounded down) when leveling.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Sunraku**
It halves the EXP I receive?!
**[07:54] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Hang on!
**[07:55] (Flashback) Vysache**
It's no use.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Vysache**
You can't take that off unless I allow it.
**[08:01] (Flashback) Vysache**
Extraordinary hardship is necessary
for the weak to grow stronger.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Vysache**
Never forget the vorpal soul.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Emul**
It suits you very well, Sunraku-san!
**[08:13] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I...
**[08:14] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I've been saddled with another restriction?!
**[08:21] Rakuro**
Two point five times stat points, huh?
**[08:24] Rakuro**
Even if it does halve my EXP received,
that's a pretty big upside.
**[08:29] Rakuro**
Kind of broken, to say the least.
**[08:32] Rakuro**
No one on the forums seems to
know about Vysache or Emul,
**[08:36] Rakuro**
let alone the Vorpal Soul Collar.

No one's found a unique scenario where
you enter the Palace of Rabituza.

That's pretty exciting!

***SIGN*** ° Vale tudo = "Anything goes" in Portuguese
**[09:59] Modor Katzo**
"Anything goes"!
**[10:03] Sunraku**
That's some creepy-ass glitching.
**[10:05] Modor Katzo**
It's a new move I worked out
while you were focused on *Failia*!
**[10:10] Modor Katzo**
NSFW Tentacle Attack!
**[10:13] Sunraku**
You developed a new glitch, huh?
**[10:16] Sunraku**
How'd a madman like you
get to be a pro gamer?
**[10:19] Sunraku**
Modor Katzo...
**[10:22] Sunraku**
Quick-Draw Fist!
**[10:24] Modor Katzo**
What?!
**[10:31] Modor Katzo**
I'm using a delay,
but he's still blocking them?!
**[10:33] Modor Katzo**
You're the madman,
with reaction speed like that!
**[10:36] Sunraku**
Quick-Draw Fist is the ultimate style!
**[10:39] Sunraku**
Theoretically, as long as
you've got twelve frames,
**[10:41] Sunraku**
you can even counter boss
insta-kill attacks unscathed!
**[10:43] Sunraku**
I'll break through all your hits!
**[10:50] Mob A**
Huh?
**[10:51] Mob A**
Hey, Modor Katzo's fighting!
**[10:54] Mob B**
Hey! Isn't that Sunraku?!
**[10:56] Mob A**
Really?
**[10:57] Narrator**
Though this is considered a trash game,
**[10:57] Mob A**
That's a top-tier match-up!
**[10:59] Narrator**
the reason for its niche
appeal is on display here.
**[11:02] Narrator**
Vale tudo—Rather, "Bug tudo"—
**[11:05] Narrator**
"Any bug goes."
**[11:13] Modor Katzo**
Heck yeah!
**[11:16] Sunraku**
The afterimage fist textures
were part of the hitbox?!
**[11:20] VO**
*You lose!*
**[11:23] Sunraku**
Still, I've only been fighting NPCs lately.
**[11:27] Sunraku**
Getting a PvP trashgamium recharge
really hit the spot, Katzo.
**[11:31] Modor Katzo**
When you emailed me to say
you were taking on *SLF*,
**[11:34] Modor Katzo**
I figured it was a bad joke. So it was true?
**[11:38] Sunraku**
I'm not ashamed to say,
I'm pretty darn into it!
**[11:43] Modor Katzo**
I guess I'll see pigs flying tomorrow.
**[11:45] Sunraku**
Hear me out.
**[11:47] Sunraku**
I've been reading the forums.
**[11:49] Sunraku**
*SLF*'s got these crazy strong
monsters called the Seven Colossi.
***SIGN*** The Seven Colossi
**[11:55] Sunraku**
The playerbase has only managed to
even get the names of four of them.
**[12:00] Modor Katzo**
So?
**[12:01] Sunraku**
No one's beaten a single one of
them since the service started.
**[12:07] Mob C**
Aw, it's over already?
**[12:09] Mob D**
Darn! I missed it!
**[12:10] Mob E**
Hey, that's Sunraku!
**[12:12] Mob A**
It was awesome, man!
**[12:13] Mob B**
A raging battle of bugs!
**[12:13] Sunraku**
So I fought one of them...
**[12:22] Sunraku**
And it wasted me.
**[12:26] Modor Katzo**
So that's why you're so into it?
**[12:28] Sunraku**
At least, I doubt I'll set it
down until I beat that mutt.
**[12:36] Modor Katzo**
Maybe I'll start playing *SLF*, too.
**[12:40] Sunraku**
For real?!
**[12:41] Modor Katzo**
Hearing you talk it up piques my interest.
**[12:45] Modor Katzo**
Besides, none of my IRL friends play *BERP*.
**[12:50] Modor Katzo**
Oh, right!
**[12:51] Modor Katzo**
You-know-who is playing *SLF*, too.
**[12:54] Sunraku**
"You-know-who"?
**[12:55] Modor Katzo**
I sent 'em an email that
you were playing, too.
**[12:59] Modor Katzo**
Since it's such a big deal.
***SIGN*** Sunraku's Picked Up *SLF*
***SIGN*** From: Modor Katzo
to: Me
***SIGN*** I hear Sunraku bought SLF.
He's pretty into it too.
Watch out for signs of hell freezing over.
TBF, I've been curious about it, too.
If he's playing it, it might be worth trying...
**[13:08] Pencilgon**
"Sunraku's Picked Up *SLF*"?
**[13:12] Pencilgon**
That trash game addict, playing *SLF*?
**[13:18] Pencilgon**
I always thought he had some condition
**[13:21] Pencilgon**
where he'd die if he ever
stopped playing trash games.
**[13:40] sign**
Arthur Pencilgon
**[13:46] Pencilgon**
I'll have to oh-so-gently
guide him through it.
***SIGN*** Secondale - Back Alley
**[14:03] Sunraku**
Hey, we're really back!
**[14:05] Emul**
It's called a teleport gate.
**[14:07] Emul**
A trivial matter for me, of course!
**[14:11] Sunraku**
*Emul's a handy little thing.*
**[14:13] Sunraku**
And... maybe it comes from
playing *BERP* for a while,
**[14:17] Sunraku**
but these *SLF* avatars are
easy as hell to move in!
**[14:21] Emul**
But the minute you woke up,
you wanted to go elsewhere.
**[14:25] Emul**
Why?
**[14:26] Emul**
There's lots of fun places
in the Palace of Rabituza!
**[14:29] Emul**
An arena, a training hall, and more!
**[14:32] Sunraku**
Oh, I'm totally interested in the palace, too,
**[14:34] Sunraku**
and I really want a good tour of it.
**[14:37] Sunraku**
But I'd really like to get to Thirdrema
before the crowds start pouring in.
**[14:41] Emul**
Crowds?
**[14:47] Sunraku**
There's been a big uptick in players
since summer break started, right?
**[14:52] Sunraku**
The forums report that the
starter town, Firstia,
**[14:55] Sunraku**
is packed to the gills with new players.
**[14:57] Sunraku**
This city won't be far behind.
**[14:59] Emul**
Ah, yes, indeed!
**[15:01] Sunraku**
Which means we're gonna
see logjams at facilities,
**[15:05] Sunraku**
and fights over monsters and mining spots.
**[15:07] Emul**
Ah, yes, indeed!
**[15:09] Sunraku**
I hear Thirdrema is a pretty big city.
**[15:12] Sunraku**
If I'm gonna whole-ass that unique scenario,
**[15:16] Sunraku**
I'd like to do it from a big city
with plenty of breathing room.
**[15:20] Emul**
Ah, yes, indeed!
**[15:23] Sunraku**
You're following all this?
**[15:24] Emul**
I don't actually know
what most of that means!
**[15:26] Sunraku**
Okay, so you weren't.
**[15:28] Emul**
But if you wish to reach the next city,
I'll gladly help you get there!

*She's mostly got better stats than me.*
**[15:56] Sunraku**
*Speed's the only place where
I've got a slight edge.*
**[15:59] Sunraku**
*No problem. Just overtake her soon enough.*
**[16:02] Sunraku**
*Right.*
**[16:04] Sunraku**
*I'm pretty sure Lycagon's Mark is the
trigger for that unique scenario...*
**[16:10] Sunraku**
*I wonder if Emul is the game's
way of making up for it.*
**[16:14] Sunraku**
*If so, it's good design.*
**[16:17] Sunraku**
Let's work together, Emul.
**[16:19] Emul**
Okay!
**[16:20] Emul**
Let's work together, Sunraku-san!
**[16:29] Alinoiyu**
So cute!
**[16:30] Alinoiyu**
Where'd you get that rabbit?!
**[16:32] Aritomo**
Is that a Vorpal Bunny?
**[16:34] Aritomo**
Can you take them as pets?
**[16:35] Aritomo**
And did I just see it talk?!
**[16:38] Aritomo**
Wait, a bird?
**[16:40] Aritomo**
Half-naked?! Pervert?!
**[16:41] Emul**
You're a very excitable person!
**[16:44] Alinoiyu**
Yes! It talked!
**[16:44] Sunraku**
*Crap... we've been talking this whole
time so I stopped thinking about it,*
**[16:46] Aritomo**
Hey, hey! What's your name?
**[16:47] Sunraku**
*but Emul's an NPC attached to a
never-before-seen unique scenario!*
**[16:48] Emul**
I'm Emul!
**[16:49] Aritomo**
Emul-chan!
**[16:50] Alinoiyu**
Hey, Emul-chan, how can
I get you in my party?
**[16:51] Sunraku**
*Since I've got it to myself for now,*
**[16:53] Sunraku**
*I'd like to keep it a secret
until I can clear it...*
**[16:54] Emul**
Well, you can—
**[16:56] Sunraku**
Zip that lip!
**[16:59] Sunraku**
That was my ventriloquism act!
**[17:02] Sunraku**
Heavens, I must be off!
**[17:04] Aritomo**
Wait!
**[17:06] Aritomo**
Aw, I wanted to know how you tame them!
***SIGN*** File Saved
**[17:12] Alinoiyu**
I got a screenshot!
Let's ask on the forums!
**[17:23] Sunraku**
Great.
**[17:24] Sunraku**
There aren't any more players
nearby now, at least.
**[17:27] Emul**
I'm terribly ill-suited to
all this running around!
**[17:30] Sunraku**
What kind of rabbit says a thing like that?
**[17:33] Sunraku**
Besides, you've got about
the same speed stat as I do.
**[17:36] Emul**
Now, what would you have us do next?
**[17:40] Sunraku**
Good question.
**[17:41] Sunraku**
Actually, there's something I wanna confirm.
**[17:43] Emul**
Confirm?
**[17:45] Sunraku**
There's that line in my curse... the mark.
**[17:48] Sunraku**
"Monsters of lower level than the
afflicted character will flee."
**[18:14] Emul**
It fled from you, Sunraku-san!
**[18:16] Sunraku**
Like it spotted some kind of degenerate.
**[18:19] Sunraku**
Okay, perfect!
**[18:22] Sunraku**
First, I chase at top speed!
**[18:25] Sunraku**
I don't just pursue mindlessly,
**[18:27] Sunraku**
but chase it into an obstacle!
**[18:31] Sunraku**
And then...
**[18:32] Sunraku**
the moment it changes direction,
**[18:35] Sunraku**
I throw!
**[18:38] Sunraku**
Then, once it's stopped,
**[18:41] Sunraku**
I strike at the fastest speed I can muster!
**[18:46] Sunraku**
An attack bonus from inertia...
**[18:49] Sunraku**
It's a law of physics you take
for granted in the real world,
**[18:52] Sunraku**
but very few games actually
try to replicate it.
**[18:56] Sunraku**
Naturally, this game models
reality as close as it can!
**[19:01] Emul**
That was spectacular, Sunraku-san!
**[19:03] Emul**
I could hardly tell which
one was the monster!
**[19:06] Sunraku**
Was that supposed to be a compliment?
**[19:11] Sunraku**
Okay!
**[19:12] Sunraku**
Even with the mark, I know I can take
out monsters that speed or slower.
**[19:16] Sunraku**
I've verified what I needed to,
**[19:18] Sunraku**
so here's the plan!
**[19:22] Sunraku**
Ignore the scrubs!
**[19:23] Sunraku**
Straight to the area boss!
**[19:25] Sunraku**
That is all!
**[19:26] Emul**
That wasn't much of a plan!
**[19:29] Sunraku**
Now, as befits us speedsters,
**[19:31] Sunraku**
let's get there speedily!
**[19:32] Sunraku**
Away we go!
**[19:33] Sunraku**
To the area boss, and Thirdrema beyond!
**[19:36] Emul**
Yeah!
**[19:39] Sunraku**
Um...
**[19:40] Sunraku**
According to the map, the area
boss is around here, but...
**[19:47] Sunraku**
It's swamp as far as the eye can see.
**[19:52] Emul**
This will simply *ruin* my clothing...
**[19:55] Sunraku**
*Yeah, no, I think I get it.*
**[19:58] Sunraku**
*With what Emul said on
the way here and all...*
**[20:01] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I was in such a hurry to get out of town,
**[20:04] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I never got a chance to ask about the boss.
**[20:06] (Flashback) Sunraku**
You know anything about it, Emul?
**[20:08] (Flashback) Emul**
Well, it's a monster named Mud Digger!
**[20:12] (Flashback) Emul**
It rockets out of the ground to attack,
**[20:15] (Flashback) Emul**
so it's crucial to find a
way to hold it in place!
**[20:18] (Flashback) Sunraku**
*"Mud Digger"...*
**[20:20] (Flashback) Sunraku**
*I gotta fight it in the swamp.*
**[20:22] (Flashback) Sunraku**
*I might be in trouble here.*
**[20:26] Emul**
Sunraku-san, it's here!
**[20:32] Sunraku**
Get on my shoulder!
**[20:33] Emul**
Righty-o!

Well, I guess that's game logic for you...

I just used some skills to
get out of a tight spot.
**[04:35] Sunraku**
I still haven't addressed the real challenge.
**[04:38] Sunraku**

Magic Edge!
**[05:23] Emul**
Oh, I succeeded!
**[05:25] Sunraku**
Hey, what was that? Magic?
**[05:28] Emul**
Yes, indeed, it was!
**[05:30] Sunraku**
*Of course.*
**[05:32] Sunraku**
*I'd been so focused on soloing this game,*

*She gave me this chance,

**[07:32] Emul**
Oh, dear! My poor clothing!
**[07:35] Sunraku**
That spell really packed a wallop.

It's gotta be—
**[07:38] Sunraku**
Eh?
**[07:39] Sunraku**
Where'd he get off to?
**[07:50] Sunraku**
What's with all the shaking?
**[07:53] Sunraku**
It's like it's sucking my
feet down. I can't move!
**[07:56] Emul**
Sunraku-san, this is...
**[07:59] Emul**
It rockets out of the ground to attack,

so it's crucial to find a

**[08:17] Emul**
Sunraku-san?!
**[08:21] Sunraku**
*It threw me into the air?!*
**[08:25] Sunraku**
*I figured that'd be an insta-kill attack,
but it barely did any damage?*
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[08:35] Sunraku**
*No, wait.*
**[08:36] Sunraku**
*From this height...*
**[08:38] Narrator**
The Mud Digger is a mole-like
quadruped with the
**[08:42] Narrator**
head of a shark and the
whiskers of a catfish.
**[08:45] Narrator**
Its most noteworthy trait is the special
move set that activates after its HP
**[08:49] Narrator**
reach a certain threshold.
**[08:52] Narrator**
It dives deep into the ground and vibrates
the swamp to hold players in place.
**[08:58] Narrator**
Then it randomly rams one of them
up in the air with its nose.
**[09:03] Narrator**
If a player challenges it alone,
**[09:05] Narrator**
not only will it hit them
with this attack every time
**[09:06] Narrator**
as long as they remain in the swamp,
**[09:08] Narrator**
but it will almost inevitably shave down
all their HP through fall damage,
**[09:13] Narrator**
hence its sobriquet—the "solo killer."
**[09:16] Sunraku**
*It's gonna kill me through falling damage?*
**[09:18] Sunraku**
*And since the initial juggle
attack not doing much damage...*
**[09:22] Sunraku**
*Whoever came up with this boss
has a real nasty personality!*
**[09:26] Sunraku**
*Player skill's not even
a factor at this point!*
**[09:28] Sunraku**
*What do I do?!*
**[09:33] Sunraku**
*If Emul hit me from the
side with her Magic Edge...*
**[09:36] Sunraku**
*No, that'd just blow me up!*
**[09:38] Sunraku**
*Magic, items... anything I can do?!*
**[09:42] Sunraku**
*Nah, I'm done for.*
**[09:44] Sunraku**
*I'm totally screwed.*
**[09:45] Sunraku**
*I've never been able to get used
to falling deaths in VR games.*
**[09:51] Sunraku**
*A feeling of electricity
running through your body,*
**[09:54] Sunraku**
*followed by a total loss of feeling...*
**[09:57] Sunraku**
*The unnecessary pursuit of reality resulted
in some games to be taken off the market.*
**[10:05] Emul**
Show your vorpal spirit!
***SIGN*** Magic Scroll

**[10:19] Narrator**
There's an attack skill called
"Meteor Fall" that utilizes downward energy.
***SIGN*** Energy
***SIGN*** Meteor Fall
**[10:24] Narrator**
Sunraku, had picked up a lot of
downward momentum from his free fall
***SIGN*** Energy
**[10:28] Narrator**
at which point, Emul teleported
him over the Mud Digger.
***SIGN*** Energy
**[10:32] Narrator**
An attack that might normally be deemed
a fall and result in player death,
**[10:36] Narrator**
was, in a slipshod way,
recognized instead as a risky attack.
**[10:41] Narrator**
It was not Meteor Fall,
***SIGN*** Mistake
Meteor Fall
**[10:42] Narrator**

***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[11:01] Sunraku**
Did I seriously survive that?!
**[11:05] Emul**
Splendidly done, Sunraku-san!
**[11:08] Sunraku**
So many things happened all at once,
**[11:10] Sunraku**
I'm having a hard time
getting it all straight...
**[11:13] Sunraku**
But either way, Emul...
**[11:15] Sunraku**
You're simply splendid!
**[11:17] Emul**
K-Kindly do not imitate my speech!
**[11:21] Sunraku**
Just like with Lycagon,
I had a pretty rough ride there...
**[11:28] Sunraku**
But we were the survivors this time!
***SIGN*** Area Boss

**[11:51] Sunraku**
Not even herbs'll get me back
to max HP right away, huh?
**[11:56] Emul**
You shoved them down your throat!
**[11:58] Sunraku**
That's the only way they reach my mouth.
**[12:02] Sunraku**
*Still, Emul was way stronger than I expected.*
**[12:06] Sunraku**
*She ended up carrying me.*
**[12:09] Sunraku**
*Feels pretty bad after how cocky I was...*
**[12:12] Sunraku**
*Until I reach Emul's level,
I'll just put her to work as a mascot.*
**[12:18] Sunraku**
*Might be the only way to stay motivated.*
**[12:21] Emul**
We'll arrive at Thirdrema soon!
**[12:23] Emul**
And after we arrive, you'll be
staying in Rabituza full-time, yes?
**[12:28] Emul**
I can hardly wait!
**[12:30] Sunraku**
Yeah, but there's still a question.
How do I hide you once we get into town?
**[12:35] Sunraku**
Drawing more attention like last
time might even get us jumped.
**[12:40] Emul**
In that case...
**[12:42] Emul**
Why, I haven't used it in so long!
**[12:44] Sunraku**
Used what?
***SIGN*** Mysterious Vorpal Bracelet
**[12:50] Emul**
The secret treasure of the Vorpal Bunnies!
**[12:54] Emul**
Sunraku-san, I must ask you
to keep this between us!
**[12:58] Sunraku**
Sure?
**[13:00] Emul**
Metamorphose!
**[13:13] Emul**
Surprised, are you?
**[13:15] Emul**
This will allow us to
inconspicuously enter the town!
**[13:21] Sunraku**
*Now, isn't that weird?*
**[13:23] Sunraku**
*Here I thought I was playing
Japan's flagship god-tier game—*
**[13:26] Sunraku**
*catchphrase, "Explore the
world, enjoy the world"—*
**[13:30] Sunraku**
*Shangri-La Frontier*.
**[13:34] Emul**
Sunraku-san?
**[13:35] Sunraku**
*But this is...*
**[13:37] Emul**
Sunraku-san?
**[13:38] Sunraku**
*This is starting to look like...*
**[13:41] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[13:44] Emul**
Hey, hey!
**[13:46] Emul**
Sunraku-san?
**[13:47] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[13:49] Sunraku**
*...some kind of harem game
with an anthro bunny girl!*
**[14:00] Sunraku**
Eh?
**[14:01] Emul**
It's simply so exhausting.
**[14:03] Emul**
I'll transform again once we near the town.
**[14:06] Emul**
Four or five minutes is my
limit in my current state.
**[14:10] Sunraku**
Oh, I get it.
**[14:12] Sunraku**
So once we're in town you'll have
to undo it once we're in private.
**[14:16] Sunraku**
But, Emil, you have committed a fatal...
**[14:20] Sunraku**
Yes, one truly fatal,
**[14:23] Sunraku**
vorpal-class failure of understanding.
**[14:27] Sunraku**
The minute you started hanging
out with a half-naked bird-man,
**[14:30] Sunraku**
you maxed out your "conspicuous" stat.
**[14:37] Sunraku**
Well, you'll just have to play
**[14:39] Sunraku**
the hapless girl dragging along a
half-naked bird-man for some reason.
**[14:43] Sunraku**
Good luck!
**[14:44] Emul**
My steps feel as heavy as if
I were still in the marsh.
***SIGN*** Thirdrema

Oh, it's as large and lovely
a town as I remember!
**[15:11] Sunraku**
So that's Thirdrema, eh?
**[15:14] Emul**
You seem curiously unimpressed, Sunraku-san!
**[15:17] Sunraku**
Well, I'm not exactly a
warrior guided by destiny,
**[15:21] Sunraku**
but I've seen a few places in my time.
**[15:24] Emul**
How truly spectacular!
**[15:25] Emul**
You pioneers really are a well traveled lot!
**[15:29] Sunraku**
Okay, let's go, Emul!
**[15:31] Sunraku**
Get ready to transform and
make yourself inconspicuous!
**[15:34] Emul**
Righty-o!
**[15:41] NPC Guard 1**
Hang on a minute!
**[15:42] NPC Guard 1**
Why are you half-naked?
**[15:44] NPC Guard 2**
Were you beset by highwaymen?
**[15:46] Sunraku**
*Yep, knew it.*
**[15:47] Sunraku**
*I'm still the conspicuous one.*
**[15:50] NPC Guard 2**
And what frightening marks you bear...
**[15:53] NPC Guard 1**
They're on his legs, too.
**[15:54] Emul**
Wait just one moment now, Mr. Guard!
**[15:57] Emul**
This man has a past...
**[15:59] Emul**
A past that would bring
sorrow to all who hear it!
**[16:05] Emul**
Guided by destiny itself,
**[16:07] Emul**
he was reborn as a super warrior,
**[16:10] Emul**
and challenged his destined rival
from his past life and this one,
**[16:14] Emul**
Lycagon, to a duel!
**[16:16] Emul**
But by the narrowest of margins,
by a mere hair's breadth,
**[16:20] Emul**
by the smallest and simplest
of fate's own whims,
**[16:22] Emul**
he ended up inflicted by a curse instead!
**[16:27] Sunraku**
Where'd you pull that story from?
**[16:29] Emul**
But unable to escape his destiny,
he leaves himself to the currents of fate,
**[16:34] Emul**
a solitary warrior on a wandering journey
to remove the curse that afflicts him!
**[16:41] Emul**
That is he... Sunraku-san!
**[16:43] ---**
**[16:45] NPC Guard 1**
Hey, hang on!
**[16:46] NPC Guard 2**
You—
**[16:46] Emul**
The tale of Super Warrior Sunraku has
only just entered its second season!

But—

Next episode is "Super Warrior Sunraku—
**[16:54] Emul**
Where the Wind Blows, Where
the Carrot Greens Waver"!
**[16:57] NPC Guard 1**
F-Fine, I get it.
**[16:59] NPC Guard 1**
It's unusual to see a half-naked pioneer,
**[17:02] NPC Guard 1**
but not completely unheard of.
**[17:04] NPC Guard 1**
You may pass.
**[17:06] Mob 1**
Hey. That guy...
**[17:08] Mob 2**
Yeah.
**[17:10] Sunraku**
*Did I just imagine it?*
**[17:11] Sunraku**
*That wasn't the usual "what a weirdo" vibe...*
**[17:14] Emul**
Shall we, then, Sunraku-san?
**[17:17] Sunraku**
S-Sure.
**[17:22] Animalia**
I recognize you.
**[17:23] Animalia**

***SIGN*** 99: Add (Advanced)
If you PK too much and you get killed
by a player or an NPC all your items are lost,
including stored ones. Plus the bounty gets paid
from the PK's own cash. It's a pretty brutal system.
The Ashura Kai guys PK so much they can't go back.
They're a huge joke as far as I've seen.

**[26:09] Emul**
What happens after you die?
**[26:11] Emul**
That's a very difficult question indeed!
**[26:20] Sunraku**
*She couldn't follow a
word of what I told her,*
**[26:23] Sunraku**
*but she goes on and on with the frogs...*
**[26:26] Sunraku**
*And, I'm sorry, but a Mud Frog's a Mud
Frog no matter how it improves itself.*
**[26:32] Sunraku**
*Or, wait... maybe they do evolve?*

**[01:33] Pencilgon**
It's not nice to keep things to yourself.
**[01:36] Pencilgon**
Everyone should share in the fun...
**[01:42] Pencilgon**
Revolutionary Knight Sunraku-kun.
**[01:45] Sunraku**
You've shown your face, Pencil Knight!
**[01:47] Pencilgon**
Hey, now.
**[01:48] Narrator**
"Revolutionary Knight Sunraku."
**[01:48] Pencilgon**
Don't talk to a supreme beauty like me
**[01:49] Narrator**
This title has no meaning in the game of *SLF*.
**[01:51] Pencilgon**
like she's some annoying monster.
**[01:53] Narrator**
It's a signifier of a relationship
**[01:55] Narrator**
between Sunraku and a certain other
player in a certain other game.
**[01:55] Pencilgon**
Besides...
**[01:59] Pencilgon**
in *SLF*, I'm not Pencil Knight.
**[02:03] Pencilgon**
Kindly call me Arthur Pencilgon.
***SIGN*** Arthur Pencilgon
***SIGN*** The Writing Tool Knight-Queen
**[02:17] Sunraku**
My friend in trash gamerhood,
Pencil Knight...
**[02:20] Sunraku**
Or should I say... Arthur Pencilgon.
**[02:30] Narrator**
In order to discuss her,
we first need to talk
***SIGN*** Item Shop
**[02:34] Narrator**
about a certain trash game
known as *Unite Rounds*.
***SIGN*** Sales Counter
**[02:40] (Flashback) NPC Shopkeep**
Take anything you want! Just don't kill me!
**[02:43] (Flashback) Mob A**
Let's clean the place out!
**[02:44] (Flashback) Mob A**
If he tries anything, kill him!
**[02:46] (Flashback) Mob B**
Yeah!
**[02:49] (Flashback) Mob B**
Hey, this guy's got quite a stash!
***SIGN*** Item Shop
**[02:53] (Flashback) Mob A**
Yeah! What a haul!
**[02:54] (Flashback) Mob A**
Now, let's split.
**[02:56] (Flashback) Mob B**
I'm not gonna spend another
day on my hands and knees!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[03:01] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Nice work getting those items!
**[03:04] (Flashback) Sunraku**
It's shakedown time.
**[03:08] Narrator**
The players called it a
"Post-Apocalyptic Looting Simulator."
**[03:13] Narrator**
The game was originally meant to simulate
a kingdom on the verge of collapse,
**[03:17] Narrator**
with players assuming the role of knights
who protect it from attacking monsters—
**[03:21] Narrator**
A co-op MMO VR game.
**[03:28] Narrator**
But because of truly garbage design that
prioritized faithfulness to the concept,
**[03:33] Narrator**
the drop rate was unreasonably low,
***SIGN*** This rock's not even suitable
for throwing.
**[03:35] Narrator**
and precious few players
tried to play it "the right way."
**[03:38] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Even the rocks have a 40% drop rate?!
**[03:41] Narrator**
Even the beginner's quest,
"Gather Medicinal Herbs,"
**[03:45] Narrator**
required twelve hours of combing
through open fields to complete.
**[03:51] Narrator**
Naturally, higher grade items
were even harder to find.
**[03:57] Narrator**
What were the players to do?
**[03:59] Narrator**
The answer was simple:
**[04:02] Narrator**
Steal what they needed.
**[04:04] Narrator**
"Find medicinal herbs?
**[04:05] Narrator**
You expect me to spend hours picking
through the grass for that crap?
**[04:08] Narrator**
I'll just raid an NPC store,
or steal them from a player who did."
**[04:14] Narrator**
That proved to be the winning
move in* Unite Rounds*.
**[04:21] Narrator**
In an environment where outrage was
rampant and everyone was an enemy,
**[04:26] Narrator**
a lone figure arose,
fueled by violence and cunning,
**[04:29] Narrator**
to take control of the kingdom.
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
**[04:35] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Let's all share the wealth and drop items!
**[04:41] (Flashback) Mobs**
The kingdom is ours!
**[04:42] (Flashback) Mobs**
Comrade Pencil Knight!
**[04:44] (Flashback) Mobs**
Yeah! Pencil Knight!
**[04:47] Narrator**
And thus, the Pencil Kingdom was born.
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[05:10] (Flashback) Katzo Tataki**
Hey, Sunraku.
**[05:12] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Yeah, Katzo?
**[05:14] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Aw, yeah, that's good stuff!
**[05:16] (Flashback) Katzo Tataki**
Isn't this game about defending
the kingdom from monsters?
**[05:20] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Is it?
**[05:21] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I thought it was about defeating
the true big bad, Pencil Knight.
**[05:25] Narrator**
Pencil Knight was nothing like the final
boss built into the game's story.
**[05:30] Narrator**
She would intentionally abuse players
who she didn't allow into her ranks,
**[05:34] Narrator**
then use her agents to create
organized resistance to oppose her.
**[05:38] Narrator**
Thus, she fomented the will to
fight back in her victims,
**[05:41] Narrator**
preventing them from simply
giving up on the game.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Well, shall we get to the assassination?
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
**[05:54] Narrator**
At this time, the game of* Unite Rounds *
was completely at the whim of one player,
**[05:59] Narrator**
acting under a name she'd picked up
at some point—the Dystopian Empress.
***SIGN*** Dystopian Empress
**[06:06] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
You used the rebel army as a distraction
**[06:09] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
to slip a small strike force
into my inner chambers? Nice.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Sunraku**
You coulda set some more effective traps.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Katzo Tataki**
They were so easy we broke
through 'em on the first try!
**[06:19] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Sunraku-kun. Katzo Tataki-kun.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
I'll remember that.
**[06:24] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Something about that goofy smirk
of yours really gets on my nerves.
**[06:32] Pencil Knight**
It's time for the boss battle.
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
**[06:34] Pencil Knight**
Can you defeat me and become
the Revolutionary Knight?
**[06:43] Sunraku**
In other words...
**[06:44] Sunraku**
She and I have one hell of a history.
**[06:48] Sunraku**
In *Unite Rounds*, we fought each other to a draw,
with both of us dying in the end.
**[06:51] Sunraku**
And here, we've got a big level gap in play.
**[07:00] Pencilgon**
I took the penalty and came all
the way from Fifticia to PK you.
**[07:04] Pencilgon**
You must be *so* grateful and flattered!
Feel free to cry!
**[07:18] Sunraku**
I'll bet those knives have
a poison attribute, right?
**[07:21] Pencilgon**
They're pretty expensive for
one-use items, you know...
**[07:28] Pencilgon**
By the way, Sunraku-kun.
What level are you at?
**[07:33] Pencilgon**
If you just beat Mud Digger,
you've got to be around 30, right?
**[07:37] Pencilgon**
That's some really impressive dodging, then.
**[07:39] Sunraku**
That's the god-tier game factor.
**[07:41] Sunraku**
All my moves come nice and smooth.
**[07:44] Animalia**
Pencilgon... is she...
**[07:47] Animalia**
Second in command of that player
killer clan, Ashura Kai...
***SIGN*** Ashura Kai
**[07:52] Animalia**
The Giant Killer?!
***SIGN*** Giant Killer
**[07:56] Emul**
Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
**[07:59] Sunraku**
"Giant Killer"?
**[08:02] Pencilgon**
I focused on ambushing higher-level players,
**[08:05] Pencilgon**
and at some point,
I just picked up the nickname.
**[08:08] Pencilgon**
But the devs nerfed how that works,
so it's been a lot harder lately.
**[08:14] Sunraku**
Now, hang on a minute...
**[08:17] Sunraku**
In that dystopia, *you* were the
giant who got yourself killed!
**[08:21] Sunraku**
Giants who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw boulders!
**[08:30] Pencilgon**
That's a clever turn of phrase
for a birdbrain like you!
**[08:33] Pencilgon**
You been studying hard lately, huh?
**[08:37] Pencilgon**
And don't you talk about that here!
**[08:39] Sunraku**
I've got a bird *head*, not a bird *brain*!
**[08:41] Sunraku**
You moron!
**[08:45] Animalia**
Wh-What's with those two?
**[08:49] Pencilgon**
Matter of fact, I didn't *just*
come here for personal reasons!
**[08:55] Pencilgon**
The leader of my clan, Ashura Kai,
asked me to deliver a message!
**[09:00] Sunraku**
A message?!
**[09:02] Pencilgon**
"Publish info on the unique scenario,
**[09:05] Pencilgon**
or wear a target on your back until you do!"
**[09:08] Sunraku**
He's threatening *me*?!
**[09:21] Sunraku**
Sounds like a real dumbass.
**[09:24] Pencilgon**
Oh, he is.
**[09:37] Sunraku**
*Still, what do I do here?*
**[09:39] Sunraku**
*There's too big a gap in
our equipment and levels.*
**[09:44] Sunraku**
Still, seems like you're trying hard
to keep me away from that gate.
**[09:49] Sunraku**
I'll bet you timed that first attack to
prevent me from entering the city, too.
**[09:55] Sunraku**
Is it that hard for a player killer to do
their thing in a highly populated town?
**[10:02] Pencilgon**
Well... I'd certainly prefer
to avoid it if I can.
**[10:08] Pencilgon**
Besides, you're *not* making
it to the gate, are you?
**[10:19] Emul**
My tail!
**[10:20] Emul**
*Sunraku-san, I can't hold it any longer!*
**[10:24] Emul**
*I'm going to lose my transformed state!*
**[10:31] Animalia**
*Darn it! I found him first!*
**[10:35] Animalia**
*But... he's fighting the
infamous Giant Killer...*
**[10:39] Animalia**
*Oh, wait! I can ask his companion...*
**[10:46] Animalia**
*Eh? Was she always wearing
those tail and ear accessories?*
**[10:51] Animalia**
Hey, can I ask you—
**[10:56] Animalia**
Wh-What the...
**[11:13] Sunraku**
Emul!
**[11:15] Sunraku**
*At the worst possible moment!*
**[11:21] Emul**
P-Please, calm yourself!
**[11:24] Sunraku**
That's it!
**[11:26] Pencilgon**
Getting distracted? I'm not
enough of an opponent for you?
**[11:30] Sunraku**
Yeah, right!
***SIGN*** Repel Counter
**[11:37] Sunraku**
*You're* the one going easy on *me*!
**[11:44] Pencilgon**
Figured it out, did you?
**[11:46] Sunraku**
Emul! C'mere!
**[11:50] Emul**
On my way!
**[11:56] Animalia**
W-Wait!
**[11:57] Animalia**
At least let me get a screenshot with her!
**[12:00] Sunraku**
If we survive this, I'll think about it!
**[12:04] Animalia**
"Survive"?
**[12:10] Pencilgon**
You're not fast enough to get away from me.
**[12:27] Animalia**
I don't give a damn about that player...
**[12:30] Animalia**
But if you're gonna put that
sweet little bunny in danger...
**[12:34] Animalia**
I'll slay you where you stand, Giant Killer!
**[12:39] Sunraku**
*Yes, nice one!*
**[12:40] Sunraku**
*I got her to put herself
in harm's way for me!*
**[12:42] Sunraku**
*Animalia, was it?*
**[12:44] Sunraku**
*I could tell she was
pretty hung up on Emul...*
**[12:48] Sunraku**
Boy, you make a great mascot, too, Emul!
**[12:53] Sunraku**
*Now I just need to get into town and have
her make me a teleport gate to Rabituza!*
**[12:57] Sunraku**
*No one should be able to track me there!*
**[13:05] Pencilgon**
I'm the only one serving as *messenger*...
***SIGN*** Remy

But I never said I came here alone.
***SIGN*** Ketchum
**[13:16] Ketchum**
Man, I hate PKing low-level scrubs.
It's hell on your karma points.
***SIGN*** Lass
**[13:22] Lass**
Our bosses feel the same way.
***SIGN*** Branch
**[13:25] Branch**
That's why they send us
to do their dirty work.
***SIGN*** Remy
**[13:29] Remy**
Stop complaining.
**[13:30] Remy**
You wanna get PKed by Pencilgon-san?
***SIGN*** Ketchum
**[13:32] Sunraku**
A wild player killer appears, huh?!
**[13:36] Sunraku**
You're going this far
against a low-level player?
**[13:40] Pencilgon**
Well, delegation *is* my usual MO...
**[13:43] Pencilgon**
Still, now I get to fight
the keeper of SF-Zoo,
**[13:48] Pencilgon**
a monster documenter clan with
no interest in other players?
**[13:51] Pencilgon**
I've really got to thank you, Sunraku-kun!
**[13:58] Sunraku**
Damn it!
**[13:59] Sunraku**
This god-tier game doesn't
need a trash game arc!
**[14:07] Ketchum**
I'm gonna make you cough up that info!
**[14:13] Sunraku**
Four PKers.
**[14:15] Sunraku**
Bring it on!
**[14:17] Sunraku**
I mean, you've only got me beat
in level, equipment, and stats!
**[14:24] Animalia**
Take... this!
***SIGN*** Poison Paralysis Drain Exhaustion Speed
***SIGN*** Poison Paralysis Drain Exhaustion Speed
**[15:02] Pencilgon**
Wow!
**[15:03] Pencilgon**
You work hard on your shaman debuffs to
help you record monster footage, right?
***SIGN*** Debuffs = Status Ailments
**[15:08] Pencilgon**
Look at all those status ailments!
**[15:11] Animalia**
You reflected all my curses?
**[15:14] Animalia**
How?!
**[15:16] Pencilgon**
There was this shaman PK killer who
would just *not* leave me alone...
**[15:20] Pencilgon**
So I know how scary curses can be.
**[15:23] Pencilgon**
That's why I carry this around, just in case.
**[15:25] Animalia**
A Karmic Straw Doll?!
***SIGN*** Karmic Straw Doll
Consumable item.
Crush it in your hand to send all curses applied
to you back at their caster.
Attempting to expose the "something"
at the straw doll's core will kill you instantly.
**[15:30] Pencilgon**
Counters all curses with karmic retribution!
**[15:33] Pencilgon**
I'd have really been in trouble without it.
**[15:37] Pencilgon**
Sorry about the rotten luck.
**[15:39] Pencilgon**
Don't worry. I'll stick around to
watch you die of your own poison.
**[15:58] Sunraku**
*My best target is that jerk
who thinks I'm a scrub.*
**[16:02] Sunraku**
*With a slow weapon like that longsword,*
**[16:04] Sunraku**
*I don't even need skills
to dodge his attacks.*
**[16:07] Sunraku**
*The real question is, how do
I damage high-level players*
**[16:10] Sunraku**
*decked out in top-tier armor?*
**[16:13] Psyger-0**
Severing attack! Rook-smasher!
***SIGN*** Severing
attack,
"Rook-

**[16:23] Emul**
Wh-What in the world?!
**[16:28] Branch**
A one-hit kill?!
**[16:30] Lass**
Hang on a minute. Is that...
**[16:33] Lass**
The unparalleled firepower
of the Attack Master?!
**[16:38] Sunraku**
"Attack Master"? What the hell is that?
**[16:42] Sunraku**
As if I didn't have enough problems here!
**[16:46] Psyger-0**
A bird head mask.
**[16:48] Psyger-0**
Character name: Sunraku.
**[16:52] Psyger-0**
At last...

At last I've found you,

**[17:19] (Flashback) Rei**
Where could he be?
**[17:22] (Flashback) Mana**
You still haven't found him?
**[17:27] (Flashback) Rei**
Well, you said he always plays as "Sunraku,"
**[17:31] (Flashback) Rei**
so I've been looking for
him under that name...
**[17:35] (Flashback) Rei**
But he seems to have skipped the
first tutorial city entirely...
**[17:39] (Flashback) Mana**
I'm sure you'll find him soon.
**[17:42] (Flashback) Mana**
Keep going, Rei-chan!
**[17:45] (Flashback) Rei**
Okay...
**[17:46] (Flashback) Mana**
Then tell him how you feel.
**[17:56] (Flashback) Rei**
I still can't find him anywhere, Mana-san!
**[18:07] (Flashback) Rei**
*The games he likes are so... like...*
***SIGN*** Frog Swimmer
***SIGN*** Battle Circuit
***SIGN*** Panty Flash Panic
**[18:12] (Flashback) Rei**
*So unusual and difficult.*
**[18:15] (Flashback) Rei**
*They're all too hard for me.*
**[18:19] (Flashback) Rei**
*I could never find a game
that I could play with him.*
**[18:24] (Flashback) Rei**
*But with* SLF*...
**[18:28] (Flashback) Rei**
*We've got Hizutome-kun playing it.*
**[18:32] (Flashback) Rei**
*I won't let this chance get away!*
***SIGN*** You've received

Mail?

From my sister?
**[18:57] sign**
From: Psyger-100
Dear Psyger-0,
Sorry, but I need you to pause
your private player hunt.
There's a player I really need to talk to.
Can you find him for me?
He was last sighted near Secondale.
He seems to have a talking,
clothed Vorpal Bunny with him.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
What?!
**[19:06] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*Dear Psyger-0,*
**[19:08] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*Sorry, but I need you to pause
your private player hunt.*
**[19:12] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*There's a player I really need to talk to.*
**[19:15] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*Can you find him for me?*
**[19:17] (Flashback) Aritomo**
This seems really bad.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Alinoiyu**
They said taking pictures
is against the rules...
**[19:21] (Flashback) Alinoiyu**
I guess I should probably delete it, right?
**[19:25] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*He was last sighted near Secondale.*
**[19:28] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*He seems to have a talking,
clothed Vorpal Bunny with him.*
**[19:31] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*He might already be en route to Thirdrema.*
**[19:36] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*I've attached a picture with him in it.*
***SIGN*** 75: Alinoiyu (Beginner)
I have a question for our esteemed elders. I was picking up equipment
in Secondale when I ran into this player. He had the cutest talking bunny
with him. How can I befriend this monster?
**[19:39] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*He's equipped with a Staring Bird Mask,*
**[19:41] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*and his legs and torso bear Lycagon's Mark.*
**[19:44] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*His name is...*
**[19:46] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
Sunraku.
**[20:02] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*A number of clans are already
arranging to make contact with him.*
**[20:07] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*Ashura Kai is among them.*
**[20:12] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
I found you.
**[20:15] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
There's a very good chance
he's already engaged in PvP.
***SIGN*** PvP = Battle between players
**[20:19] (Flashback) Psyger-100**
*Be careful.*
**[20:20] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
I won't get a chance like this again!
**[20:23] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
If I can save him from PKers,
I'll have a natural "in" to talk to him!
**[20:30] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
Then some day...
**[20:32] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
I'll be able to talk to him IRL, too!
**[20:43] (Flashback) Psyger-0**
Severing attack! Rook-smasher!
**[20:49] Pencilgon**
*Things are getting intense over there, too.*
**[20:51] Pencilgon**
*Though, those PKers may not
be able to beat Sunraku-kun...*
**[21:00] Pencilgon**
*Fighting him in* SLF *has
made it even more clear...
**[21:03] Pencilgon**
*The skills he's built up playing
terrible games in all genres*
**[21:09] Pencilgon**
*are more valuable than unique
items and high-level stats.*
**[21:13] Pencilgon**
*And that's a huge asset here
in *Shangri-La Frontier*.
**[21:20] Pencilgon**
*I hear Katzo-kun's playing* SLF*, as well.
**[21:23] Pencilgon**
*So with Sunraku-kun...*
**[21:26] Pencilgon**
*That project of mine is
looking more possible.*
**[21:31] Pencilgon**
*Is that...*
**[21:33] Pencilgon**
*Psyger-0?!*
**[21:37] Pencilgon**
*First he lured in the Zookeeper,
now the Attack Master?!*
**[21:41] Pencilgon**
I'm so glad I came to see you, Sunraku-kun!
**[21:46] Animalia**
I hit you with five spells.
**[21:52] Animalia**
"Karmic Straw Doll" is extremely powerful,
**[21:57] Animalia**
so each doll tops out at
reflecting five debuffs.
**[22:06] Animalia**

**[23:51] Emul**
Oh, how I love carrots!
**[23:53] Emul**
They are truly the greatest of foods!
**[23:57] Emul**
The taste, the texture, the shape, the color!
**[24:00] Emul**
There has never been a food
more perfect than the carrot!
**[24:03] Emul**
Don't you agree, Sunraku-sa—
**[24:08] Emul**
S-Sunraku-san?
**[24:09] Emul**
Are you eating *all* of those?!
**[24:11] Sunraku**
Yeah.
**[24:13] Sunraku**
Apparently, there're flavor
limiters in this game.
**[24:15] Emul**
Flavor limiters?
**[24:18] Sunraku**
It might not make sense
to an NPC like you, but...
**[24:22] Sunraku**
Let's say there're limiters
on pioneers' tongues,
**[24:25] Sunraku**
so anything we eat just tastes
vaguely sweet, spicy, or whatever.
**[24:29] Sunraku**
But I heard you can remove flavor
limiters if you eat a ton of food.
**[24:37] Emul**
I see.
**[24:38] Emul**
But I do hope you don't gorge yourself...
**[24:41] Sunraku**
*That's weird.*
**[24:43] Sunraku**
*The flavor's doesn't change,
no matter how much I eat.*
**[24:46] Emul**
I brought this one special
from the Palace of Rabituza!
**[24:52] Sunraku**
Boy, I wish I could enjoy food that much...
***SIGN*** One level of flavor
limiter has been removed.
***SIGN*** Flavor limiters are removed
through consumption of high-quality food items.

This world is filled with
too many games to count,
**[00:06] Narrator**
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
**[00:12] Narrator**
The greatest of all games
**[00:15] Narrator**
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
**[00:20] Narrator**
*Shangri-La Frontier*, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
**[00:27] Narrator**
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,
**[00:30] Narrator**
is trying out the god-tier
game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
**[00:34] Narrator**
What adventures await him there?
***SIGN*** Remnant of the Divinity: The Aberrant Loser
**[02:22] (Flashback) Rakuro**
Anyway, the game was the
buggiest piece of crap,
**[02:26] (Flashback) Rakuro**
and the only save was autosave!
**[02:28] (Flashback) Rakuro's Friend**
I don't really follow,
but it sounds pretty fun!
**[02:31] (Flashback) Rakuro**
Nope, not fun at all.
**[02:32] (Flashback) Rakuro**
Game crash bugs.
**[02:35] (Flashback) Rakuro**
The worst kind of trash!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Rakuro's Friend**
Then why are you playing it?
**[02:38] (Flashback) Rakuro**
It's fun!
**[02:39] (Flashback) Rakuro's Friend**
Hey.
**[02:40] Rei**
*He was always smiling.*
**[02:53] (Flashback) Friend B**
Hey, Rakuro. Is that the latest issue?
**[02:56] (Flashback) Friend B**
What now?
**[02:58] (Flashback) Friend B**
More trash game scouting?
**[02:58] Rei**
*He seemed to be enjoying himself.*
**[03:14] Rei**
*That's why I started thinking about him.*
**[03:27] Rei**
*I started looking for him.*
**[03:50] (Flashback) Rakuro's Friend**
'Sup, Rakuro?
**[03:51] (Flashback) Rakuro**
Heya.
**[03:52] Rei**
*I tried to talk to him so many times...*
**[03:52] (Flashback) Rakuro's Friend**
Up all night gaming again?
**[03:54] (Flashback) Rakuro**
As a matter of fact...
**[03:55] Rei**
*But I wasn't brave enough.*
**[03:55] (Flashback) Rakuro**
Listen to this, man!
Talk about a nightmare...
**[03:58] Rei**
*I thought, if I could just
talk to Hizutome-kun...*
**[03:59] (Flashback) Rakuro**
Trashiest trash game ever...
**[04:02] Rei**
*Even if it was inside a game...*
**[04:08] Sunraku**
Damn it!
**[04:09] Sunraku**
This god-tier game doesn't
need a trash game arc!
**[04:17] Ketchum**
I'm gonna make you cough up that info!

scenario, same as the others.*
**[04:45] Sunraku**
*I'm never getting out of this.*
**[04:48] Sunraku**
*I need to think up a way out.*
**[04:54] Animalia**

**[04:59] Animalia**
It requires the skill

***SIGN*** Poison Paralysis Drain Exhaustion Speed

Sorry.

Hey!

D-Damn it!

Don't look down on the Ashura Kai!
**[06:37] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Sorry.
**[06:39] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Sorry.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Sunraku**

**[06:42] (Flashback) Sunraku**

*He talked to me!*
**[06:51] Lass**
That guy's acting pretty weird, right?
**[06:53] Remy**
What's going on?
**[06:55] Branch**
I dunno, but he's wide open.
**[06:58] Branch**
Now's our chance!
**[06:59] Branch**
PKing you will have me shooting
up the Ashura Kai ranks!
**[07:04] Psyger-0**
*But if not for you people...*
**[07:08] Psyger-0**
*I could have talked to him more!*
**[07:13] Remy**
Make a break for it?
**[07:14] Lass**
Yep.
**[07:16] Psyger-0**
Sorry, but I'll have to—
**[07:19] Psyger-0**
I mean, I'm taking my rage out on you!
***SIGN*** Rabituza Inn
**[07:32] Sunraku**
Yes! I escaped!
**[07:35] Sunraku**
Well?
**[07:36] Sunraku**
How'd you like that,
you basement-dwelling bastards?!
**[07:38] Sunraku**
They can't follow me to Rabituza!
**[07:44] Sunraku**
That was pretty scary, though!
**[07:47] Sunraku**
Didn't expect that
**[07:47] Sunraku**
"Gracious! I have insufficient magic
for a gate!" from you, though.
**[07:53] Emul**
I used it all on my transformation!
**[07:55] Sunraku**
We'd have been in real trouble if
we couldn't travel from Thirdrema.
**[07:59] Emul**
This is truly delicious!
**[08:01] Sunraku**
Good thing I bought some
magic-restoring items.
**[08:04] Sunraku**
Anyway, objective accomplished.
***SIGN*** Okay, You Got Me
From: Pencil Knight
To: Sunraku
Nice job escaping those scrubs.
FYI, my death was my own fault,
so I don't consider this losing to you.
Can't believe the Attack Master came
to bail you out. Friend of yours?
Anyway, I really do want to talk to you,
so call Katzo-kun for a meeting in *Unite Rounds*.
We'll talk scheduling later.
**[08:10] Sunraku**
Pencil Knight... I mean, Pencilgon
sent me a sore loser email.
**[08:16] Pencilgon**
*FYI, my death was my own fault,
so I don't consider this losing to you.*
**[08:21] Pencilgon**
*Can't believe the
Attack Master came to bail you out.*
**[08:25] Pencilgon**
*Friend of yours?*
**[08:26] Sunraku**
"Attack Master"?
**[08:29] Sunraku**
That Psyger-0 person?
**[08:32] Pencilgon**
*Anyway, I really do want to talk to you,*
**[08:36] Pencilgon**
*so call Katzo-kun for a
meeting in* Unite Rounds*.
**[08:39] Pencilgon**
*We'll talk scheduling later.*
**[08:41] Sunraku**
Talk to me, eh?
**[08:43] Sunraku**
The fact that she won't talk inside *SLF*...
**[08:47] Sunraku**
Makes me suspicious.
**[08:49] Sunraku**
Hey, speak of the devil.
***SIGN*** Hey
From: Modor Katzo
To: Sunraku
Just got a total "evil mastermind"
invite from the pencil. What'd you do, man?
Can't say I'm not intrigued, so I figure
we might as well hear her out.
You're not gonna back out, right?
**[08:52] Katzo Tataki**
*Just got a total "evil mastermind"
invite from the pencil.*
**[08:59] Katzo Tataki**
*What'd you do, man?*
**[09:01] Sunraku**
*It's fishy as hell...*
**[09:03] Sunraku**
*but it's equally intriguing, if I'm honest.*
**[09:06] Katzo Tataki**
*Can't say I'm not intrigued, so I
figure we might as well hear her out.*
**[09:11] Katzo Tataki**
*You're not gonna back out, right?*
**[09:13] Sunraku**
Well, I can't back out after
Katzo starts adding pressure, too.
**[09:18] Sunraku**
But I've got bigger things
to think about now.
**[09:22] Emul**
What a lovely treat!
**[09:23] Sunraku**
Sorry for the wait, Emul.
**[09:26] Sunraku**
Let's get to this unique scenario for real!
**[09:29] Emul**
Oh, at last!
**[09:31] Emul**
Hurrah, hurrah!
**[09:36] Sunraku**
So, what's the task?
**[09:38] Sunraku**
That Vash guy...
**[09:40] Sunraku**
I mean, your bunny boss, said something
about "getting me up to snuff."
**[09:46] Emul**
Then I shall lead you to the arena where
we do our most serious battle training!
**[09:52] Sunraku**
Arena?
***SIGN*** Vorpal Colosseum

The Vorpal Colosseum!
**[10:06] Sunraku**
Hey, that's pretty big!
**[10:09] Emul**
My dadd—ahem, the boss wants
you to fight ten monsters here!
**[10:16] Sunraku**
Okay!
**[10:17] Sunraku**
So it's a boss rush kind of thing, right?
**[10:21] Emul**
Ah, but you are strictly limited
to the use of vorpal weapons!
**[10:25] Sunraku**
Great!
**[10:26] Sunraku**
Okay!
**[10:28] Sunraku**
Time to grind levels until I can wipe
that smug smirk off of Pencilgon's face!
**[10:39] Sunraku**
All ready.
**[10:44] Sunraku**
Let out the first one!
**[10:46] Emul**
Righty-o!
**[10:47] Emul**
Here it comes!
**[10:52] Sunraku**
*I don't expect to go ten
in a row on my first try.*
**[10:56] Sunraku**
*I'll use trial and error, learn their
attack patterns, and slowly but surely...*

That's how the first opponent works!

***SIGN*** Constant Progress
**[11:44] Rei**
I talked to Hizutome-kun!
**[11:53] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Sorry.
**[12:00] Rei**
N-Next time I see him,
**[12:02] Rei**
I'll try to find the courage
to send a friend request.
**[12:07] Rei**
I wonder if he'd accept it...
**[12:12] Sunraku**
A friend request?
**[12:16] Sunraku**
Of course I'll accept!
**[12:20] Sunraku**
Psyger-0, I can't thank you
enough for saving me back there.
**[12:25] Sunraku**
Let's walk to school together every morning!
**[12:29] Rei**
Oh, you silly!
**[12:40] Rei**
But I entered Thirdrema and looked
for him after it was over,
**[12:46] Rei**
and I couldn't find him...
**[12:48] Rei**
Did he log out, maybe?
**[12:53] Rei**
I wonder what he's doing now.
**[12:58] Sunraku**
These guys... totally...
**[13:02] Sunraku**
just think of me as food!
**[13:04] Emul**
Sunraku-san! It's your seventh try!
**[13:07] Emul**
This time, see that you beat them!
**[13:10] Sunraku**
*Thankfully, the penalty for
dying is off here in the arena.*
**[13:15] Sunraku**
*But it's not their numbers and
level that make these guys a pain.*

*It's their completely
synchronized team attacks!*

Looks like I guessed right!
**[13:59] Sunraku**
Your coordination's all out of whack!
**[14:02] Sunraku**
And now that I know that,
I can ignore these suckers!
**[14:05] Sunraku**
I'll focus on the commander
before he can bark out orders!
**[14:09] Sunraku**
Get back here, you!
**[14:13] Sunraku**
Gotcha!
**[14:19] Emul**
Impressive as ever, Sunraku-san!
**[14:22] Sunraku**
Monsters left on their own
after losing their commander
**[14:26] Sunraku**
are nothing for me to fear!
**[14:33] Sunraku**
Once you know the trick,
they're just durable dogs.

Beta Unit Golem S2
**[16:42] Sunraku**
*If we call attacks from the right arm A,
and attacks from the left arm B,*
**[16:48] Sunraku**
*when chaining from A to A,
there's almost no gap between its attacks.*
**[16:52] Sunraku**
*But if it goes from A to B or vice-versa,
the chest core lights up for a second.*
**[16:55] Sunraku**
*This allows for some limited
anticipation of its attacks.*
**[16:58] Sunraku**
*Given the difference between my
height and the golem's height,*
**[16:59] Sunraku**
*that generates some predictability
in attacks from sides A and B.*
**[17:02] Sunraku**
*I had a theory that the
moment I dodged an attack*
**[17:04] Sunraku**
*or the action's attack hit box faded,*
**[17:06] Sunraku**
*I could jump on the arm to jump
up and directly attack the core.*
**[17:09] Sunraku**
*But when I actually tried it, I ended
up repelled by an invisible energy field*
**[17:12] Sunraku**
*which shaved 70% off my HP,*

*To put it lightly...*

*This guy's a beast!*

*Root-spear attacks that
are barely telegraphed...*

debuff you on contact...*
**[05:43] Sunraku**
*Both chase me around like it's
their natural right to catch me,*

*is these magic attacks he slips
in there every now and then!*
**[06:21] Sunraku**
*Not to mention...*
**[06:32] Sunraku**
*that the more time passes,
the more he mixes up the magic types!*
**[06:39] Sunraku**
*Is the battle programmed so
the attacks get denser, too?!*
**[06:45] Sunraku**
*The number of chains and roots increases,*
**[06:47] Sunraku**
*and the magic attacks start
covering a wider area.*
**[07:05] Sunraku**
*If the density of the
attacks keeps increasing...*
**[07:10] Sunraku**
*I'm gonna be dead before
I ever reach five minutes!*
**[07:19] Sunraku**
*Another new spell for his arsenal?!*
**[07:27] Sunraku**
*The hell is this thing?*
**[07:30] Sunraku**
*He nullifies physical attacks and
constantly adds attacks of his own?!*
**[07:33] Sunraku**
*I think I'd stand a better

*Talk about hell for a first-time encounter.*

*Hang on, man.*

*What's got you writing

*It was the same with the Mud Digger.*
**[08:42] Sunraku**
*You relied on Emul.
You gave up just like that.*
**[08:48] Sunraku**
*Next thing you know,
you're cutting corners all over the place.*
**[08:53] Sunraku**
*What a mess.*
**[08:54] Sunraku**
*I think playing so many trash games
almost turned my brain to trash, too.*
**[09:01] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[09:07] Sunraku**
*I guess it's not good to
overdose on trashgamium.*
**[09:10] Sunraku**

**[09:19] Sunraku**
*Giving up when it's not
a forced loss event...*
**[09:23] Sunraku**
*or cutting corners on a game that
hasn't been broken wide open yet...*
**[09:31] Sunraku**
just doesn't make any sense!
**[09:35] Vysache**
Breaking through the waves of
attacks to reach melee range, eh?
**[09:40] Vysache**
But what's the point, when all he
can do is dish out basic strikes?
**[09:45] Sunraku**
I'm tired, damn it!
**[09:49] Sunraku**
So...
**[09:53] Sunraku**
I'm gonna win this thing
and go the frick to bed!
**[09:58] Sunraku**
Even if you nullify physical damage,
the attack itself still gets through, I'll bet.
**[10:05] Sunraku**
That's a pretty fancy staff for
a monster to be carrying around.
**[10:09] Sunraku**
I wonder what'll happen if
you've gotta do without it!
**[10:12] Sunraku**
Looks to me like you can't cast without it!
**[10:21] Sunraku**
In a post-apocalyptic world,
you survive by looting!
**[10:24] Sunraku**
The shakedown skills I
learned in *Unite Rounds*
**[10:28] Sunraku**
are not to be trifled with!
**[10:30] Vysache**
Those are some sticky fingers
you've got there, kid.
**[10:33] Vysache**
But you've got two minutes left.
**[10:36] Vysache**
I don't think you want
to be breathing easy yet.
**[10:39] Vysache**
Now, show me what you can do.
**[10:46] Sunraku**
Losing the staff is your
berserk button, huh?!
**[10:49] Sunraku**
That's too many damn attacks!
**[10:51] Sunraku**
You're kidding me!
**[10:52] Sunraku**
A tantrum like this over one little staff?!
**[10:54] Sunraku**
Give a little warning before
you go off like this, damn it!
**[11:04] Emul**
Sunraku-san, you're so close!
**[11:06] Emul**
Only one minute remains!
**[11:08] Emul**
Dodge, evade, withdraw, and run!

*My mobility build is built for this!*
**[11:18] Sunraku**

**[11:43] Sunraku**

Dude, did you *actually* go fetch it?
**[12:02] Sunraku**
You're such a dumbass.
**[12:04] Sunraku**
You didn't need the silly staff.
**[12:05] Sunraku**
You'd have won if you'd kept
the roots and chains coming.
**[12:11] Sunraku**
What a blockhead. A *wood*block head, even.
**[12:18] Sunraku**
Eh?
**[12:22] Sunraku**
Hang on a minute! I survived five minutes!
**[12:25] Sunraku**
Isn't it over?!
**[12:27] Vysache**
Well, the five minutes was my idea, not his.
**[12:31] Vysache**
It's right on the line,
but I guess I'll pass you!
**[12:44] Vysache**
You certainly showed me
**[12:46] Vysache**
your vorpal soul, in spades.
**[12:50] Sunraku**
Huh? I thought he nullified physical attacks?
**[12:54] Emul**
You've done it!
**[12:56] Emul**
I simply *knew* you would, Sunraku-san!
**[13:01] Vysache**
That's only when he's holding the staff.
**[13:04] Vysache**
Without the staff he's just an animated tree.
**[13:07] Sunraku**
Well, that explains why
he wanted it back so bad!

All the lore and speculation got
pretty overwhelming, though,

Peatz, did you not recently acquire
that very intriguing textile?
**[16:52] Peatz**
Say, yeah.
**[16:54] Peatz**
It's a pretty neat thing so I
figured it'd put it up for sale,
**[16:57] Peatz**
but it looks pretty mundane
relative to the price tag,

and which one to suck up to.
**[18:49] Sunraku**
An extremely complex decision
on the level of that.
**[18:52] Emul**
I recommend the Fellfate Caldera!
**[18:56] Sunraku**
Could you please be quiet, Emul?
**[19:01] Sunraku**
Okay, I've decided!
**[19:02] Sunraku**
We'll head for the
Prismatic Forest Grotto first!
**[19:06] Sunraku**
Would you like to know
my reasoning, Emul-kun?
**[19:09] Sunraku**
First, the area we must avoid at all costs
**[19:13] Sunraku**
is clearly the Iron Ruins of the Divinity.
**[19:17] Sunraku**
One might hear the name and be swayed by
the promise of scientific bounties within,
**[19:21] Sunraku**
but that is a trap.
**[19:22] Sunraku**
Science means civilization.
Yes, the wisdom of centuries!
**[19:23] Emul**
Haven't we seen that person before?
**[19:26] Sunraku**
So if there're guns and stuff in the ruins,
**[19:28] Sunraku**
it's gonna be a pain in the ass
to deal with at my current stats,
**[19:31] Sunraku**
so hard pass.
**[19:32] Sunraku**
Huh? Person?

*What rare treasures could the

**[21:59] Sunraku**
*What the heck is in there?!*
**[22:09] Sunraku**
*A c-carrot?*
**[22:19] Sunraku**
*I guess beneath all of it,
Aniki Vash is still a rabbit.*

Now, then...
**[22:38] Sunraku**
The newly released Great Max Tan-Tan Noodles.
**[22:41] Sunraku**
I'm gonna want something
to wash it down with.
**[22:49] Sunraku**
Hm?
**[22:50] Sunraku**
But didn't I hear water
makes spicy stuff worse?
**[22:58] Sunraku**
Man, I'm so thirsty.
**[23:07] Sunraku**
Crap. I just chugged it like always!
**[23:11] Sunraku**
And it's only been a minute!
**[23:13] Sunraku**
But I've still got two minutes to kill.
**[23:19] Sunraku**
Oh, right. That game's got a log-in bonus.
**[23:23] Sunraku**
Maybe I'll do that real quick.
**[23:37] Sunraku**
I forgot about it!
**[23:41] Sunraku**
They soaked it all up.
**[23:43] Sunraku**
They're basically broth-free tan-tan noodles.
**[23:48] Sunraku**
Guess I'll eat it.

We're sorry, Orcelott-san.

We weren't expecting the

**[00:39] Remy**
I mean... how could we?
**[00:42] Orcelott**
There's a Unique Scenario on the line.
**[00:44] Orcelott**
You should've expected
top players to show up.
**[00:47] Pencilgon**
Why didn't you do it yourself, then?
**[00:52] Orcelott**
I've got better things to do.

Oh, yeah?
***SIGN*** Advanced Players Teach Beginners the Ropes #81

Seriously, to unlock the elite jobs you've got to at least make it to Sixburg.
How many times do I have to tell people this?
Maybe we should put it on the FAQ.
75: Alinoiyu (Beginner)
I have a question for our esteemed elders. I was picking up equipment
in Secondale when I ran into this player. He had the cutest talking bunny
with him. How can I befriend this monster?
**[00:58] Orcelott**
Anyway, this rabbit is definitely
the key to some unique stuff.
**[01:02] Orcelott**
And we're dealing with a beginner
who barely knows the system.
**[01:06] Orcelott**
Threaten him however you need to.
**[01:08] Orcelott**
Just get the information from him.
**[01:10] Branch**
Sir.
**[01:11] Ketchum**
Fine.
**[01:13] Pencilgon**
Not that I have a problem with pet rabbits...
**[01:16] Pencilgon**
But as Ashura Kai, shouldn't we figure
out how to deal with *that* first?
**[01:28] Orcelott**
This again?
**[01:31] Orcelott**
I told you my policy on that.
**[01:33] Orcelott**
Unique monsters aren't made to be beatable.
**[01:36] Orcelott**
At the moment, we're the only ones who
know that thing's spawn conditions.
**[01:41] Orcelott**
Just encountering it nabs us experience,
so if we play our cards right,
**[01:45] Orcelott**
we can use it to increase
Ashura Kai's battle power.
**[01:49] Branch**
There's nothing to be gained
by fighting that thing.
**[01:51] Ketchum**
Going whole-hog on that fight would
just be throwing good items away.
**[01:55] Remy**
Agreed.
**[02:04] Pencilgon**
Ah, I figured.
**[02:05] Pencilgon**
These people really are useless.
**[02:11] Orcelott**
Hey, where are you going?
**[02:12] Orcelott**
You're supposed to wait
until the others arri—
**[02:14] Pencilgon**
So sorry.
**[02:15] Pencilgon**
I've got better things to do.
**[02:27] Orcelott**
Screw you, Big Sis.
**[02:30] Pencilgon**
Ashura Kai used to get hate
from everyone around them
**[02:33] Pencilgon**
and made "thrive on hate" their philosophy.
**[02:36] Pencilgon**
But since the update patch made
player-killing a riskier venture,
**[02:42] Pencilgon**
they've changed.
**[02:44] Pencilgon**
Avoiding danger, seeking stability...
**[02:46] Pencilgon**
the current Ashura Kai can't defeat *that*.
**[02:53] Pencilgon**
Hard to believe
**[02:55] Pencilgon**
I'm putting my neck on the
line for one little NPC.
**[02:59] Pencilgon**
Who would have thought?
**[03:02] Pencilgon**
It's a huge gamble, win or lose...
**[03:05] Pencilgon**
I'll bet everything I have, and win.
**[03:10] Pencilgon**
To bury that Unique monster,
**[03:11] Pencilgon**

Wait, is he here to get

Bad news, Emul!
**[05:43] Sunraku**
Run!
**[05:44] Emul**
What?!
**[05:53] Ketchum**
Any sightings of the birdman?
**[05:55] Remy**
Nah.

There he is!

Get back here, you!
**[06:40] Sunraku**

**[06:41] Sunraku**
Emul, let's move on to the next area!
**[06:43] Emul**
Of course!
**[06:47] Remy**
I know where he's going.
**[06:50] Remy**
He's making a beeline for the Iron Ruins.
**[06:53] Ketchum**
Let's tell 'em to set an ambush at the gate!
**[06:56] Lass**
Got it. We're on our way.
**[07:00] Emul**
Excuse me, Sunraku-san?!
**[07:02] Sunraku**
What?
**[07:03] Emul**
Wasn't our destination the
Prismatic Forest Grotto?
**[07:06] Emul**
This is the way to the Iron
Ruins of the Divinity!
**[07:10] Sunraku**
Yeah, it's a fake-out!
**[07:12] Sunraku**
If I went straight to my real destination,
they'd catch on in a minute!
**[07:15] Sunraku**
I'll make 'em think I'm
heading for the ruins,
**[07:18] Sunraku**
while I cut through an alley and head
for the Prismatic Forest Grotto!
**[07:22] Sunraku**
If I can just shake 'em off for a second...
**[07:25] Sunraku**
They'll just go to wait for me
at the wrong gate!
**[07:31] Ketchum**
Damn it. Where'd he go?
**[07:33] Ketchum**
Just head for the gate
that leads to the Ruins!
**[07:36] Remy**
Right.
**[07:45] Sunraku**
You see that, Emul?
**[07:46] Sunraku**
In order to truly deceive another,
**[07:48] Sunraku**
you must always prepare
at least one obvious lie,
**[07:50] Sunraku**
one truth that seems like a lie,
and one lie that seems truthful.

W-Well, another time, maybe!

Right.

Well... later, then.

*Eh? She backed off pretty quickly...*
**[11:23] Emul**
That pioneer looked very strong indeed!
**[11:26] Sunraku**
Yeah, she's quite a gamer.
**[11:28] Sunraku**
Probably four or five times stronger than me.
**[11:31] Emul**
Though I'm sure your vorpal
soul is by far the stronger!
**[11:35] Sunraku**
I appreciate that.
**[11:37] Sunraku**
*Though I wish she'd tell me what
the hell a vorpal soul is already.*
**[11:42] Sunraku**
*Still... maybe I'm overthinking it?*

have a name over her head.

I was so shocked, at first,
I ended up hiding, but...
**[12:08] Rei**
One way or another, Hizutome-kun

Just improvise, girl. It's all about feeling.
**[18:02] Emul**
This is all very tricky.
**[18:04] Sunraku**
The fierce battle between
monsters is escalating!
**[18:07] Sunraku**
Quad Beetle is attacking
with all four of his horns
**[18:10] Sunraku**
as he proceeds, undaunted, to the nest!

Is this the end of the Empire Bees?!

What in the world?
**[18:25] Sunraku**
Goodness me!
**[18:26] Sunraku**
The unrelenting wave of attacks
**[18:28] Sunraku**
has created an exploitable crack
in the Quad Beetle's armor!

The Empire Bee Queen gives
the crucial order to attack!

Quad Beetle's in big trouble now!

And it's done!

Once he had her in firing range,
Quad Beetle flew right into the queen!

With their queen gone,
the bees are scattering!

And right back to his meal, huh?
**[19:05] Sunraku**
With a near-death injury and everything.
**[19:08] Sunraku**
That's what I call a kingly air.
**[19:20] Emul**
He's coming right for us!
**[19:22] Emul**
Oh, gracious!
**[19:25] Sunraku**
Hey, I wanted to collect
those Empire Bee drop items!
**[19:29] Sunraku**
What's with the hair-trigger temper?
**[19:31] Sunraku**
I didn't do anything to him!
**[19:33] Emul**
Perhaps he thinks you were there for the sap!
**[19:38] Sunraku**
Sap, huh?
***SIGN*** Storage Papillon Nectar Pouch
**[19:43] Sunraku**
Let's try it!
**[19:55] Sunraku**
Looks like he really was after the nectar.
**[20:00] Sunraku**
Those cracks in your armor
the Empire Bees left...
**[20:04] Sunraku**
I can't leave them unexploited!
**[20:29] Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[20:30] Sunraku**
Make them do the work and
reap all the profits!
***SIGN*** Dropped Items
Quad Beetle Horn
Quad Beetle Mandible
Quad Beetle Shell
Quad Beetle Elytron
**[20:33] Sunraku**
I've got an inventory full of items now,
**[20:35] Sunraku**
so I'll hold off on any
more collecting for now.
**[20:40] Emul**
Exploiting the labor of others
doesn't quite seem fair to me.
**[20:44] Sunraku**
What're you talking about?
**[20:45] Sunraku**
It's a bug-eat-bug world.
**[20:47] Sunraku**
You gotta do what it takes
to be the last one standing.
**[20:50] Emul**
Harrumph.
**[20:54] Sunraku**
The area boss here is a spider, right?
**[20:58] Emul**
Yes, indeed!
**[21:00] Emul**
It's called the Clown Spider!
**[21:01] Sunraku**
So... we're probably getting close.
**[21:11] Sunraku**
Okay!

What Kind of Person Is Towa Amane?
**[22:58] Emul**
Mini!
***SIGN*** Towa Amane
The Celebrity Model
on Fashion's Bleeding Edge
***SIGN*** SLF Theater
**[23:01] Narrator**
Towa Amane is 24 years old.
**[23:04] Narrator**
She's a celebrity model,
**[23:05] Narrator**
and a source of inspiration
to teens everywhere.
**[23:08] Narrator**
Anyone who sees her is
enchanted by her looks,
**[23:11] Narrator**
and sometimes a bit more.
**[23:14] Narrator**
What do people imagine
when they think of her?
**[23:18] Narrator**
"Angel"?
**[23:19] Narrator**
No, "goddess of beauty"?
**[23:23] Narrator**
Her beautiful outfits give her
an air of purity and confidence.
**[23:29] Narrator**
But when she logs in to
*Shangri-La Frontier*...
**[23:35] Narrator**
She becomes a player killer!
**[23:37] Narrator**
In fact, this is closer
to her real personality!
**[23:41] Pencilgon**
Just another murder-filled day.

**[00:03] Kagh**
I hate this place. It's swarming with bugs.
**[00:06] Leena**
A-Are you sure we're ready
to fight the area boss?
**[00:11] Soma**
What's gotten you so scared all of a sudden?
**[00:13] Soma**
We've beaten everything
they've thrown at us so far!
**[00:16] Leena**
But...
**[00:19] Soma**
We can take this, no pro—
**[00:22] Soma**
What the heck's this?
**[00:25] Soma**
I can't get it off! It's too sticky!
**[00:27] Leena**
Are you okay?
**[00:30] Kagh**
S-Soma.
**[00:33] Kagh**
Is that...
**[00:39] Trio**
A clown?!
**[00:47] Narrator**
This world is filled with
too many games to count,
**[00:52] Narrator**
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
**[00:58] Narrator**
The greatest of all games
**[01:01] Narrator**
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
**[01:06] Narrator**
*Shangri-La Frontier*, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
**[01:12] Narrator**
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,
**[01:16] Narrator**
is trying out the god-tier
game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
**[01:20] Narrator**
What adventures await him there?
***SIGN*** Let's Go Tomb Raiding!!
**[03:01] Sunraku**
The area boss here is a spider, right?
**[03:05] Emul**
Yes, indeed!
**[03:06] Emul**
It's called the Clown Spider!
**[03:08] Sunraku**
So... we're probably getting close.
**[03:18] Sunraku**
Okay!
**[03:21] Sunraku**
Huh? I can't go in?
***SIGN*** Other players are
fighting this area boss.
**[03:24] Emul**
It appears other pioneers
have already engaged it!
**[03:36] Soma**
Damn it! I gotta climb all
the way back up there?
**[03:39] Soma**
This boss is such a pain in the ass.
**[03:41] Soma**
This isn't over! One good hit and I'm—
**[03:46] Emul**
It flattened that pioneer!
**[03:49] Sunraku**
Rest in peace.
**[03:55] Sunraku**
Welp, path's open. Let's go!
**[03:57] Emul**
You didn't mourn him for long!
**[03:59] Sunraku**
He's just respawning in Thirdrema. Chill out.
**[04:06] Sunraku**
But thanks to Mr. Pancake there,
I got some useful info.
**[04:24] Sunraku**
Emul.
**[04:25] Sunraku**
You mind hanging out here
and doing color commentary?
**[04:29] Sunraku**
I wanna solo the Clown Spider
**[04:32] Sunraku**
on my first try, with a no-damage run.
**[04:37] Emul**
And you really want me
to stay here and watch?
**[04:41] Sunraku**
Yeah.
**[04:42] Sunraku**
Okay! Let's do this, area boss!
**[04:51] Sunraku**
I'm fighting a spider.
**[04:53] Sunraku**
The webbing's gonna get
denser the higher I get.
**[04:56] Sunraku**
Out of the skills I learned
leveling up in the arena...
***SIGN*** Rush Slash
Quick Spin
Loop Slash Lv. 5
Accel Lv. 6
One-Boat Leap
**[05:01] Sunraku**
I think my best bet here'll be...
**[05:07] Sunraku**
Skill...
**[05:09] Sunraku**
One-Boat Leap!
**[05:10] sign**
One-Boat Leap
**[05:15] Sunraku**
Bet you use that to insta-kill first-timers.
**[05:16] Sunraku**
Good thing I saw you use it already.
**[05:27] Emul**
Sunraku-san! You're heading right for...
**[05:35] Emul**
a sticky web!
**[05:38] Emul**
It wasn't sticky?!
**[05:41] Sunraku**
The radial threads of a
spider's web aren't sticky.
**[05:45] Sunraku**
That makes it a little harder
to get stable footing.
**[05:48] Sunraku**
But if I judge it just right...
**[05:52] Sunraku**
Skill, Accel Lv. 6!
**[05:56] Sunraku**
It's not too different from
running around that forest!
**[06:04] Emul**
I-Incredible!
**[06:10] Sunraku**
The time for sitting back and throwing
stuff is over, Clown Spider.
***SIGN*** Area Boss
Clown Spider
**[06:29] Sunraku**
Loop Slash!
***SIGN*** Loop Slash
**[06:34] Sunraku**
Right leg down!
**[06:40] Sunraku**
Rush Slash!
**[06:54] Sunraku**
A fall from that height should
dish out some juicy damage.
**[06:59] Sunraku**
Not a damn chance!
***SIGN*** Throwing Knife
equipped.
**[07:13] Emul**
Th-That looked quite painful!
**[07:17] Sunraku**
Probably won't be enough to beat it, but...
**[07:26] Sunraku**
Well, lookie there!
**[07:48] Sunraku**
Aiming's a breeze against a target that big!
**[07:51] Sunraku**
I really got you in a tough spot, huh?
**[07:55] Emul**
Oh, you're brilliant, Sunraku-san!
**[07:59] Emul**
You can easily make it
through unharmed like this!
**[08:02] Sunraku**
There we go.
**[08:08] Sunraku**
Well, that's all fun enough, but...
**[08:15] Emul**
Sunraku-san?
**[08:19] Sunraku**
Hup!
**[08:24] Sunraku**
If I can't beat an area boss head-to-head...
**[08:49] Sunraku**
I'll never make it
**[08:51] Sunraku**
to Lycagon's level!
***SIGN*** Area Boss

***SIGN*** Dispatch Complete
**[09:13] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[09:16] Sunraku**
Well, Emul?
**[09:18] Sunraku**
I called it. First-time, no-damage run.
**[09:22] Emul**
Yes indeed!
**[09:24] Emul**
You're a true man of your word!
**[09:27] Sunraku**
Felt almost too easy.
**[09:29] Emul**
It went right to his head!

Hey, an email from Pencil Knight.
***SIGN*** Let's get up to some mischief!

**[09:39] Oikatzo**
Oh, it's about that.
**[09:43] Oikatzo**
I thought Sunraku picking this game
up would be a good reason to try it...
**[09:53] Oikatzo**
But soloing these bosses isn't the
challenge they made it out to be...
**[10:01] Oikatzo**
I hope what you've got in
store has a little more bite.

That's so great!
**[10:22] Rei**
Y-Yes.
**[10:23] Rei**
I worked up my nerve, and he accepted it.
**[10:26] Rei**
I couldn't have done it
without your encouragement.
**[10:30] Rei**
But Hizutome-kun really is amazing!
**[10:33] Rei**
Not only did he skip the first town,
**[10:36] Rei**
he's got a Vorpal Bunny companion!
We all thought you couldn't tame those!
**[10:39] Mana**
Wow. Well, that's a trash gamer for you.
**[10:46] Mana**
Welcome!
**[10:56] Mana**
He hasn't been here for a few days.
**[10:59] Mana**
Guess he's been in *SLF* the whole time?
**[11:01] Mana**
He's a real wild card, though.
**[11:03] Mana**
He might even be the first
to dispatch a unique monster!
**[11:08] Rei**
Oh, not even he could do that!
**[11:13] Rei**
*Actually, maybe he could!*
**[11:44] Rakuro**
Hey, an interview with Katzo.
***SIGN*** Kei Uomi

**[11:48] Rakuro**

**[11:50] Rakuro**
I bet he made the editor's job hell.
**[11:56] Rakuro**
*SLF*'s getting a major summer update?
**[12:00] Rakuro**
The Severed Sea.
**[12:02] Rakuro**
The Frontier Fleet.
**[12:03] Rakuro**
The New Land, and a new job...
**[12:07] Sunraku**
I guess this is the one Pencilgon
was talking about yesterday.
**[12:13] Pencil Knight**
Hello, hello!
**[12:15] Pencil Knight**
Thank you both for coming today.
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
**[12:17] Pencil Knight**
When was the last time we were all
together here in *Unite Rounds*?
**[12:22] Pencil Knight**
Was it when you jackasses stormed my castle,
which had an eighty-player garrison?
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
**[12:30] Katzo Tataki**
Look, that was Sunraku's idea.
**[12:33] Katzo Tataki**
"Assassinating the monarch
sounds like a blast!" he said.
**[12:36] Sunraku**
You were just as down for it!
**[12:38] Katzo Tataki**
Hell yeah, I was.
**[12:40] Katzo Tataki**
And it freaking ruled!
**[12:42] Sunraku**
Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to end with her
**[12:45] Sunraku**
blowing up the castle and
all her retainers with it!
**[12:50] Katzo Tataki**
Yeah, the Pencil Dynasty Incident.
**[12:52] Katzo Tataki**
They'll be talking about that one 'til
the *Unite Rounds* servers shut down!
**[12:56] Sunraku**
Yeah.
**[12:57] Sunraku**
And she acts like it was just part
of her "live in the moment" attitude,
**[13:01] Sunraku**
but you can tell she's
still so pissed about it!
**[13:03] Sunraku**
She'll start making excuses even
when no one's brought it up—
**[13:08] Pencil Knight**
Now that we're all feeling nice and relaxed,
**[13:11] Pencil Knight**
do you mind if I get to the main topic?
**[13:14] Both**
Yes, ma'am!
**[13:17] Pencil Knight**
Good.
**[13:18] Sunraku**
I'm betting you called us here to say
more than just "Let's play *SLF* together."
**[13:27] Pencil Knight**
That's right.
**[13:28] Pencil Knight**
We don't have a lot of time,
**[13:30] Pencil Knight**
so I'll get right to the point.
**[13:34] Pencil Knight**
Want to take out the unique monster,
Wethermon the Tombguard,
**[13:38] Pencil Knight**
with just the three of us?
**[13:47] Both**
Huh?! A unique monster?!
**[13:51] Katzo Tataki**
A unique monster...
**[13:53] Katzo Tataki**
That's the same category of monster as
that Lycagon thing Sunraku fought, right?!
**[13:57] Katzo Tataki**
Are you for real?!
**[13:58] Katzo Tataki**
I'm dying to fight those unique guys!
**[14:01] Pencil Knight**
That's right.
**[14:02] Pencil Knight**
One of the Seven Colossi
of *Shangri-La Frontier*...
**[14:08] Pencil Knight**
Wethermon the Tombguard.
**[14:10] Sunraku**
*Hold on a minute.*
**[14:12] Sunraku**
*I figured she'd be inviting us on
some high-level clan raid, but...*
**[14:19] Sunraku**
You said "just the three of us"?
**[14:21] Pencil Knight**
Yes.
**[14:23] Sunraku**
And you think we stand a chance?
**[14:26] Sunraku**
I don't know jack about
this "Wethermon" thing.
**[14:29] Pencil Knight**
Well, it's not like you can beat
him with sheer force of numbers.
**[14:33] Pencil Knight**
We went at him with Ashura Kai's
fifteen best and got wasted.
**[14:38] Katzo Tataki**
Is this the kind of monster that gets
**[14:40] Katzo Tataki**
more attack and HP the more
people you send at it?
**[14:43] Pencil Knight**
That's part of it, but...
**[14:46] Pencil Knight**
I can't tell you more until
I have your agreement.
**[14:52] Pencil Knight**
We get one chance at this.
**[14:54] Pencil Knight**
We'll carry it out in two weeks.
**[14:56] Pencil Knight**
The night of the new moon,
right after the major summer update.
**[15:01] Pencil Knight**
That's the day we'll do it.
**[15:06] Pencil Knight**
What do you think?
**[15:09] Sunraku**
*Right after the update?*
**[15:11] Sunraku**
*Why invite a pair of* SLF *newbies, though?
**[15:14] Sunraku**
*Wouldn't she want a few max-level elites?*
**[15:19] Pencil Knight**
If you're worried about your levels,
that won't be a problem.
**[15:24] Pencil Knight**
What I'm after is pure player skill.
**[15:29] Pencil Knight**
That's why I'm enlisting
**[15:30] Pencil Knight**
Katzo-kun, the pro gamer,
**[15:33] Pencil Knight**
and Sunraku-kun, the trash gamer.
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight

You sure those two things are comparable?
**[15:50] Katzo Tataki**
Feel free to back off, trash gamer.
**[15:52] Katzo Tataki**
You're stinking up my pro gamer rep.
**[15:54] Sunraku**
What was that?!
**[15:56] Pencil Knight**
So, what do you think?
**[15:58] Pencil Knight**
I can always offer additional compensation.
**[16:01] Sunraku**
Well... I think I might be down.
**[16:04] Sunraku**
But I also think you're
still hiding something.
**[16:08] Sunraku**
If you want us to buy in,
you'd better give us the full story.

All right.

Well? What's on the agenda today!
**[19:53] Sunraku**
First, I've got a question for you.
**[19:56] Emul**
What is it?
**[19:58] Sunraku**
It looks like, in two weeks,
**[20:00] Sunraku**
I'll be picking a fight with
"Wethermon the Tombguard."
**[20:04] Sunraku**
It's looking like I'll have to leave
you out of the party while I do...
**[20:09] Sunraku**
What's wrong?
**[20:10] Emul**
Picking a fight with *Wethermon*?!
**[20:16] Emul**
D-Da... Bo...

Here's a question.
**[20:39] Pencil Knight**
What is it?
**[20:40] Sunraku**
You said "just the three of us,"
**[20:43] Sunraku**
but I've got an NPC in my party right now.
**[20:47] Sunraku**
What about her?
**[20:49] Pencil Knight**
Oh, the infamous bunny.
**[20:51] Katzo Tataki**
Bunny?
**[20:53] Pencil Knight**
If you care about her,
you should keep her out of it.
**[20:57] Katzo Tataki**
What's with the bunny?
**[20:59] Sunraku**
What do you mean?
**[21:01] Pencil Knight**
In *SLF*...
**[21:02] Emul**
Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
**[21:04] Pencil Knight**
Once an NPC dies...
**[21:06] Emul**
It's truly terrible!
**[21:09] Pencil Knight**
They never come back.
**[21:10] Emul**
Daddy!
***SIGN*** SLF Mini
**[22:47] Kids**
*SLF* Theater!
***SIGN*** Pencilgon's
Five-Second Answers
**[22:51] Emul**
Mini!
***SIGN*** SLF Theater
***SIGN*** Likes?
**[22:59] Pencilgon**
Fireworks.
**[23:01] Pencilgon**
They're beautiful and pure.
***SIGN*** Dislikes?
**[23:06] Pencilgon**
Slugs.
**[23:07] Pencilgon**
Ugh. I'd like to wipe them
off the face of the Earth!
***SIGN*** What do you think
of Sunraku-san?
**[23:14] Pencilgon**
He's a freak.
**[23:16] Pencilgon**
Oh, that's a good thing.
***SIGN*** Favorite sayings?
**[23:21] Pencilgon**
Brains over brawn.
**[23:22] Pencilgon**
Perfection is real.
**[23:24] Pencilgon**
Profit while others fight.
**[23:25] Pencilgon**
And...
***SIGN*** What nickname would you give yourself?
**[23:29] Pencilgon**
"The Perfect Beauty."
***SIGN*** What would you compare a Player Killer to?
**[23:34] Pencilgon**
A runway model, I suppose.
***SIGN*** Why is that?
**[23:38] Pencilgon**
Both inspire cries.
**[23:40] Pencilgon**
Though the model inspires cries of joy,
**[23:42] Pencilgon**
while the player killer inspires
**[23:44] Pencilgon**
death cries!

**[00:01] Narrator**
This world is filled with
too many games to count,
**[00:06] Narrator**
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
**[00:12] Narrator**
The greatest of all games
**[00:15] Narrator**
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
**[00:20] Narrator**
*Shangri-La Frontier*, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
**[00:26] Narrator**
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,
**[00:30] Narrator**
is trying out the god-tier
game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
**[00:34] Narrator**
What adventures await him there?
**[02:11] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Want to take out the unique monster,
Wethermon the Tombguard,
**[02:16] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
with just the three of us?
**[02:18] (Flashback) Sunraku**
It looks like, in two weeks,
**[02:20] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I'll be picking a fight with
"Wethermon the Tombguard."
**[02:24] (Flashback) Sunraku**
It's looking like I'll have to leave
you out of the party while I do...
**[02:29] (Flashback) Sunraku**
What's wrong?
**[02:30] (Flashback) Emul**
Picking a fight with *Wethermon*?!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Emul**
D-Da... Bo...
**[02:38] (Flashback) Emul**
Daboo... Bodadd...
**[02:43] (Flashback) Emul**
I've got to tell my daddy!
***SIGN*** The Glimmer of Truth
**[02:59] Vysache**
Emul filled me in,
**[03:02] Vysache**
but I'd like to hear it directly from you.
**[03:07] Vysache**
You're picking a fight with that
fool who's outlived his time?
**[03:14] Sunraku**
*"Outlived his time"? Wethermon?*
**[03:18] Sunraku**
*What does that mean?*
**[03:20] Sunraku**
*But for now...*
**[03:21] Sunraku**
*This event got sprung on me out of nowhere,*
**[03:24] Sunraku**
*and it's gotta be an important one.*
**[03:27] Sunraku**
*Roleplaying based on the
world and its characters—*
***SIGN*** "Roleplaying"
To play one's given role in the setting.
**[03:31] Sunraku**
*That's my best choice in this situation.*
**[03:34] Sunraku**
*Stay calm.*
**[03:36] Sunraku**
* If you play your cards right,*
* you could get valuable info on Wethermon.*
**[03:41] Sunraku**
*You beat* Failia*, right?*
**[03:44] Sunraku**
*You can do this!*
**[03:46] Sunraku**
*Get Vash on your side, here.*
**[03:48] Sunraku**
*The keyword is "vorpal soul."*
**[03:51] Vysache**
I don't think I need to tell you
**[03:53] Vysache**
how weak you still are.
**[03:59] Sunraku**
You're right, of course.
**[04:02] Sunraku**
I'm not doing this because
I know I can win, Aniki.
**[04:08] Vysache**
What's that?
**[04:10] Sunraku**
I'll actually be playing a support role.
**[04:13] Sunraku**
A friend of mine will
do most of the fighting.
**[04:20] Sunraku**
Are you aware, Aniki, what's happening
with Wethermon the Tombguard now?
**[04:26] Vysache**
Nah.
**[04:27] Vysache**
Last I saw of him was some time ago.
**[04:31] Sunraku**
This friend of mine says a
group of PKers—rather...
**[04:37] Sunraku**
a no-good band of killers is exploiting
Wethermon to make themselves stronger.
**[04:41] Sunraku**
They're using him as a tool.
**[04:43] Sunraku**
Since... well, you get lots of
experience just for encountering him.
**[04:52] Sunraku**
The mastermind of our upcoming raid
is technically part of that band,
**[04:57] Sunraku**
but she truly wants to defeat
Wethermon the Tombguard.
**[05:02] Sunraku**
She's gone to unthinkable lengths to do it.
**[05:04] Vysache**
No matter what lengths you go to,
**[05:07] Vysache**
if there's no chance of victory,
it's still a reckless move.
**[05:12] Vysache**
When did I say "vorpal soul" meant walking
straight into the mouth of death?
**[05:19] Sunraku**
Not one of us would go into a
fight with the intention to lose.
**[05:25] Sunraku**
But my friend is determined
to beat Wethermon,
**[05:29] Sunraku**
and I and our other companion
believe in her cause.
**[05:35] Sunraku**
"We only get one chance at this."
**[05:37] Sunraku**
"Win or lose, this is our last shot."
**[05:40] Sunraku**
Those are the words my friend
came to me with, and so...
**[05:44] Sunraku**
I feel honor-bound to offer my aid.
**[05:50] Sunraku**
I realize I'm still weak and inexperienced,
**[05:53] Sunraku**
but I have two weeks to do what I can—
**[05:56] Sunraku**
To transform the brash arrogance
of a cocky greenhorn
**[05:59] Sunraku**
into the grit of a contender
who's challenging a champion.
**[06:15] Vysache**
Honor-bound, eh?
**[06:20] Vysache**
He's an awkward one, you see.
**[06:24] Sunraku**
*He's talking about Wethermon?*
**[06:26] Vysache**
Serious to a fault,
never knows when to let up...
**[06:30] Vysache**
He lost his wife to a lousy little lie,
**[06:34] Vysache**
and ended up with that undying body of his.
**[06:40] Vysache**
He's a living corpse,
unable to even put himself to rest.
**[06:45] Vysache**
And so...
**[06:48] Vysache**
Someone has to take him down and
bring him that well-earned slumber.
**[06:56] Vysache**
I made up my mind not to
interfere with "them"...
**[07:01] Vysache**
But if you insist on doing
this, I won't stop you.
**[07:08] Vysache**
My sweet daughter's made a request, as well.
**[07:12] Vysache**
Come along.
**[07:14] Vysache**
I'll lend you a bit of a hand after all.
**[07:31] Sunraku**
*A forge?*
***SIGN*** Good Communication
**[07:33] Sunraku**
I moved on to the next stage of the event!
**[07:36] Sunraku**
So far, so good, man!
**[07:39] Vysache**
Hey, Bilac! You here?
**[07:42] Bilac**
Yeah?
**[07:43] Bilac**
Hey, Pops.
**[07:45] Bilac**
How about that, eh?
***SIGN*** Bilac
**[07:47] Bilac**
Ain't seen you here in a while.
**[07:50] Emul**
Bee! Big Sis!
**[07:51] Bilac**
Heya, Emul.
**[07:53] Sunraku**
*Another of Emul's siblings?*
**[07:56] Sunraku**
* Did Vash father the entire*
* population of Rabituza?*
**[07:59] Sunraku**
*Probably not... right?*
**[08:03] Bilac**
You the guy Pops and Emul told me about?
**[08:06] Sunraku**
Hey.
**[08:07] Emul**
Sunraku-san is his name!
**[08:10] Bilac**
Gotcha. You got an air about
you kinda like Evelle.
**[08:14] Sunraku**
*"Evelle"?*
**[08:15] Sunraku**
*Another rabbit name drop?*
**[08:17] Sunraku**
*Please, don't spring any more on me!*
**[08:19] Vysache**
Well, take out your vorpal weapons already.
**[08:26] Vysache**
Aha.
**[08:28] Vysache**
These blades see you as
a good master, for sure.
**[08:32] Vysache**
They've got a fine countenance, too.
**[08:35] Vysache**
They'll do us just fine.
**[08:40] Vysache**
Bilac. I'm gonna ascend these.
**[08:44] Sunraku**
"Ascend"? Make them better?
**[08:46] Emul**
The best they can be!
**[08:47] sign**
Ascend
"Bring to Truth"
**[08:49] Bilac**
Hang on...
**[08:51] Bilac**
You're gonna wield the hammer, Pops?
**[08:56] Vysache**
It'd be boring to just sit back and watch
**[08:59] Vysache**
while he challenges that fool
who's outlived his time.
**[09:05] Bilac**
Hey, there we go!
**[09:06] Bilac**
I'll get the forge lit!
**[09:09] Vysache**
Got any decent materials on you?
**[09:12] Vysache**
Ah, you know... from opponents
you struggled to beat?
**[09:18] Sunraku**
Struggled to beat?
**[09:20] Sunraku**
*Lycagon's the toughest I've faced...*
**[09:22] Sunraku**
*Though that was "struggled, *got* beat"...*
**[09:25] Sunraku**
* And I sold the stuff I got*
* from the Mud Digger...*
**[09:30] Sunraku**
I didn't exactly get it
through my own efforts,
**[09:32] Sunraku**
but I've got a material from a
monster that was pretty darn tough.
**[09:35] Vysache**
Hand it over.
**[09:46] Vysache**
The shell of a Quad Beetle, eh?
**[09:49] Sunraku**
It held up against
Empire Bee attacks for ages.
**[09:53] Sunraku**
I figured it had to be a
pretty excellent material.
**[09:57] Vysache**
It'll do.
**[09:59] Vysache**
Now, let's get started.
**[10:17] Bilac**
You're a lucky guy, y'know that?
**[10:21] Bilac**
Pops hasn't wielded the hammer for years.
**[10:26] Sunraku**
Is that true? Um... Bilac?
**[10:29] Bilac**
My brother inherited the...
kingship, you'd say? Of Rabituza.
**[10:34] Bilac**
And I inherited his forge.
**[10:37] Emul**
I suppose I never told you, Sunraku-san!
**[10:39] Emul**
Dadd—er...
**[10:41] Emul**
The boss is a blacksmith!
**[10:44] Sunraku**
A blacksmith?
**[10:46] Bilac**
And not just any blacksmith.
**[10:51] Bilac**
He's a Master Craftsman—a label given to
those who master the blacksmith's art—
***SIGN*** Master Craftsman
**[10:54] Bilac**
and an Ancient Craftsman—one who can
forge the lost weapons of the Divinity.
***SIGN*** Ancient Craftsman
**[11:00] Bilac**
Combining the two masteries
makes him a Divine Craftsman.
***SIGN*** Divine Craftsman
**[11:03] Bilac**
The superlative forger,
peerless in the world of smithery—
**[11:07] Bilac**
That's our Pops.
**[11:16] Emul**
It's about to begin, Sunraku-san!
**[11:35] Sunraku**
*The heck was that?*
**[11:38] Sunraku**
*Magic circles?*
**[11:39] Sunraku**
* With each strike, they rise, then*
* draw back into the weapon...*
**[11:43] Bilac**
To "ascend" a weapon
**[11:45] Bilac**
means reading the memories and
experiences it's acquired in its battles
**[11:50] Bilac**
and coaxing it into a more appropriate form.
**[11:52] Bilac**
In other words, his transcendent
skill grants it its "true" form.
**[11:57] Sunraku**
It's "true" form?
**[11:59] Bilac**
Weapons that bear the name "vorpal"
**[12:01] Bilac**
remember the battles they've
fought against strong foes.
**[12:04] Bilac**
The memories you've forged with 'em
**[12:07] Bilac**
and the power of the strong
foe you handed Pops earlier...
**[12:10] Bilac**
He mixes 'em together in the forging process
**[12:12] Bilac**
and changes the weapon's shape.
**[12:15] Bilac**
And since you managed to
mix it up with Lycagon,
**[12:17] Bilac**
I'm *real* curious to see what
your weapons will turn into.
**[12:26] Vysache**
* The fire of the forge*
* against the sleeping sky...*
**[12:36] Sunraku**
Is he singing—
**[12:43] Vysache**
*Off fly the sparks*
**[12:47] Vysache**
*Engulfed by the night*
**[12:52] Vysache**
*The hammer dances*
**[12:56] Vysache**
*The iron sings*
**[13:01] Vysache**
*Bang, clang, ring*
**[13:05] Vysache**
*Crash, clash, bash*
**[13:08] Vysache**
*A blade's what you are*
**[13:13] Vysache**
*Power's what you are*
**[13:26] Vysache**
*Draw forth from the ground*
**[13:30] Vysache**
*Feed in the wood*
**[13:32] Vysache**
*Stoke the flame*
**[13:36] Vysache**
*Temper the metal*
**[13:40] Vysache**
*Cool it in water*
**[13:44] Vysache**
*The world turns*
**[13:48] Vysache**
*And then it stops*
**[13:52] Vysache**
*From metal comes iron*
**[13:57] Vysache**
*From iron comes steel*
**[14:01] Vysache**
*From steel comes a blade*
**[14:07] Vysache**
*From blade comes a sword*
**[14:28] Vysache**
*Dawn breaks in the night sky*
**[14:33] Vysache**
*The sword glimmers*
**[14:37] Vysache**
*It reflects the light*
**[14:41] Vysache**
*It tears through the dark*
**[14:46] Vysache**
*As the sword dances,*
**[14:50] Vysache**
*let the world sing*
**[15:25] Vysache**
All right.
**[15:27] Vysache**
The Vorpal Chopper has taken
its true name and form.
**[15:32] Vysache**
Its name...
**[15:34] Vysache**
Moonblade (Waxing)
and Moonblade (Waning).
***SIGN*** Moonblade (Waxing)
A twinblade with a crescent-shaped blade.
***SIGN*** Moonblade (Waning)
A twinblade with a crescent-shaped blade.
**[15:38] Sunraku**
A twin weapon?!
**[15:40] Vysache**
One blade in the form of two.
**[15:42] Vysache**
Each needs the other to have meaning.
**[15:47] Vysache**
It's been a while since I saw
one change form, you know?
**[15:52] Sunraku**
Let's check this baby out!
**[15:55] Sunraku**
"Waxing—
**[15:56] Sunraku**
when fighting an opponent of higher level,
**[16:00] Sunraku**
successful criticals reduce your HP, but a
power bonus is added to your next attack."
**[16:06] sign**
Waxing
When fighting an opponent of higher level, successful criticals reduce your HP, but a power bonus is added to your next attack.
Waning
When fighting an opponent of higher level, successful criticals restore your HP.
A certain number of successful criticals adds to the fusion gauge.
**[16:07] Sunraku**
"Waning—
**[16:08] Sunraku**
restores HP under the same circumstances."
**[16:12] Sunraku**
Hey, I get it. They really
do compliment each other!
**[16:16] Sunraku**
Eh? "A certain number of successful
criticals adds to the fusion gauge"?
**[16:21] Sunraku**
These weapons freaking combine?!
**[16:23] Sunraku**
Gracious, how splendid!
**[16:25] Emul**
Don't mimic me!
**[16:29] Sunraku**
Let's equip these babies
and give 'em a whirl!
***SIGN*** Cannot be wielded due to
failure to meet stat requirements.
**[16:34] Sunraku**
Stat requirements?
**[16:38] Sunraku**
C-Calm down, dude.
***SIGN*** Waxing / Waning
***SIGN*** Stat Requirements
**[16:40] Sunraku**
It's a simple math problem.
**[16:42] Sunraku**
I need 150 stat points in total.
**[16:46] Sunraku**
My current total in the relevant stats is 57.
**[16:50] Sunraku**
I get five points per level raised, so...
**[16:53] Sunraku**
I need to be level 50 to use 'em?!
**[16:57] Vysache**
Well, guess you need to toughen
up a bit more to use 'em.
**[17:07] Emul**
S-Sunraku-san?
**[17:09] Emul**
Sunraku-san?!
**[17:12] Sunraku**
But I wanna use them *now*!
***SIGN*** Thirdrema
***SIGN*** The Serpent's Apple
**[17:28] Sunraku**
So, in conclusion...
**[17:30] Sunraku**
I'm late. Sorry!
**[17:33] Sunraku**
I really mean it, kinda.
**[17:38] Pencilgon**
I hope you figured out your last words!
**[17:41] Oikatzo**
We were supposed to meet
three damn hours ago!
**[17:44] Oikatzo**
That's too late to just "sorry" away!
**[17:47] Sunraku**
The truth is, I was plugging
along on a unique scenario,
**[17:51] Sunraku**
and Wethermon's name came up...
**[17:54] Sunraku**
So I thought it might be worth pursuing.
**[17:58] Pencilgon**
All right. Spill, and I'll call us even.
**[18:01] Oikatzo**
Huh? Just scot-free like that?!
**[18:04] Sunraku**
Though... that's a bold little
avatar you got, Katzo.
**[18:09] Sunraku**
Actually, I guess you're... Oikatzo here?
**[18:12] Sunraku**
Like the soup base, Oigatsuo?
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
**[18:14] Sunraku**
He always picks names like that.
***SIGN*** Kei Uomi
***SIGN*** Modor Katzo
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
**[18:17] Sunraku**
* His real name combines into*
* the character "Katsuo,"*
**[18:19] Sunraku**
*so he always sticks "Katzo" in there.*
**[18:20] sign**
Katsuo (Skipjack Tuna)
**[18:22] Oikatzo**
I don't need pointers on
character design from you,
**[18:25] Oikatzo**
criminal exhibitionist Sunraku-kun.
**[18:30] Sunraku**
I'm sure you don't appreciate how
hard it was for me to get here.
**[18:34] Pencilgon**
I chose a back-alley place
with especially low traffic,
**[18:38] Pencilgon**
so you can relax while you're here.
**[18:40] Sunraku**
No wonder it was so hard to find.
**[18:43] Pencilgon**
Anyway, let's get to brass tacks.
**[18:46] Pencilgon**
Mind telling me what you learned?
**[18:49] Sunraku**
Sure.
**[18:51] Pencilgon**
I see.
**[18:52] Pencilgon**
He called Wethermon the Tombguard
"a living corpse" who'd "outlived his time"?
**[18:59] Oikatzo**
Are we talking about an undead monster here?
**[19:02] Pencilgon**
His movements did seem a bit janky
when the fight first started.
**[19:08] Pencilgon**
I see.
**[19:09] Pencilgon**
I'd assumed he was a cyborg-type, but...
**[19:12] Pencilgon**
Being undead would explain a lot.
**[19:15] Sunraku**
Anything there that can help with our strats?
**[19:20] Pencilgon**
I've got some things to take care of.
**[19:23] Pencilgon**
Let's split up until nightfall.
**[19:25] Sunraku**
Sure, but... what should we do next?
**[19:28] Pencilgon**
I'll give you guys these for now.
**[19:30] Pencilgon**
Go grind in the Iron Ruins in the meantime.
***SIGN*** Give
**[19:32] sign**
Drop
**[19:34] Sunraku**
Grind levels, huh?
**[19:35] Sunraku**
I'm all for it, but...
**[19:39] Oikatzo**
A map, and...
**[19:41] Sunraku**
...a fishing rod?
**[19:43] Pencilgon**
It'll make sense when you get there.
**[19:57] Pencilgon**
I've been wondering since
you first arrived...
**[20:00] Pencilgon**
Sunraku-kun, do you actually
think that disguise is working?
**[20:04] Sunraku**
Pray tell? This is merely
the latest fashion trend...
**[20:08] Oikatzo**
Huh? What is it?
**[20:11] Pencilgon**
I guess he fooled one of us?
**[20:13] Pencilgon**
Maybe if you haven't seen her,
it doesn't seem off?
**[20:16] Pencilgon**
Well, whatever.
**[20:17] Pencilgon**
See you back here tonight.
**[20:20] Sunraku**
Sure.
**[20:21] Oikatzo**
Later.
**[20:24] Oikatzo**
Okay, let's get down to business!
**[20:27] Sunraku**
The Iron Ruins of the Divinity, right?
**[20:30] Sunraku**
Hold on while I plan a
safe route to the gate.
**[20:35] Oikatzo**
What a pain.
**[20:36] Oikatzo**
I gotta sneak around now, too, huh?
**[20:38] Emul**
Sunraku-san! Sunraku-san!
**[20:40] Emul**
I'm getting a terrible earache!
**[20:44] Emul**
Might I please move around a bit?
**[20:57] Oikatzo**
Sunraku!
**[20:58] Oikatzo**
Your equipment's talking!
**[21:00] Oikatzo**
It is, isn't it?!
**[21:02] Sunraku**
Okay, go on.
**[21:03] Sunraku**
I thought it'd be fun to see
how long it took him to notice.
**[21:06] Emul**
Indeed...
**[21:08] Oikatzo**
Is this NPC that unique one?
**[21:12] Oikatzo**
Can I have a closer look?
**[21:14] Emul**
What are you doing?!
**[21:16] Emul**
Unhand me!
**[21:17] Oikatzo**
Man, I want unique stuff, too!
**[21:21] Emul**
Let me go, I say!
**[21:21] Sunraku**
Get your own, then.
**[21:26] Sunraku**
Here we are. The entrance at last!
**[21:29] Oikatzo**
I want unique stuff too. You lucky dog!
**[21:33] Sunraku**
That's all you've been
saying this whole time.
**[21:36] Sunraku**
Let's get going.
**[21:37] Sunraku**
I wanna get to level 50 ASAP.
**[21:40] Oikatzo**
Fine, fine.
**[21:41] Oikatzo**
But this is my first time in a party in *SLF*.
**[21:45] Sunraku**
My first time with another player, too.
**[21:50] Oikatzo**
It's got a pretty different vibe
from the rest of the world so far...
**[21:53] Oikatzo**
Seems like it could be fun.
**[21:55] Sunraku**
Yeah. The Iron Ruins of the Divinity, huh?

So cool!
**[24:27] Pencilgon**
What a great song.
**[24:29] Pencilgon**
Hey, Sunraku-kun, why don't you sing
your own theme song when you roll in?
**[24:35] Sunraku**
Theme song?
**[24:42] Sunraku**
*Coo, coo, coo*
**[24:45] Sunraku**
*The pigeon goes "coo"*
**[24:47] Sunraku**
* If a pea is what you want,*
* I'll give it to you*
**[24:51] Sunraku**
I'm not a damn pigeon!
**[24:53] Pencilgon**
But it's a perfect fit for you.
**[24:55] Oikatzo**
Yeah, totally!
**[24:57] Sunraku**
How, exactly?!
**[25:00] Pencilgon**
Take that!
***SIGN*** "Like a pigeon hit with a peashooter" (saying)
Taken off guard; stunned.

**[00:01] Narrator**
This world is filled with
too many games to count,
**[00:06] Narrator**
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
**[00:12] Narrator**
The greatest of all games
**[00:15] Narrator**
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
**[00:20] Narrator**
*Shangri-La Frontier*, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
**[00:26] Narrator**
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,
**[00:30] Narrator**
is trying out the god-tier
game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
**[00:34] Narrator**
What adventures await him there?
***SIGN*** Regrets Always Lie in the Past
**[02:13] Pencil Knight**
Shall we begin our strategy meeting?
**[02:17] Pencil Knight**
Wethermon battle, issue number 1:
***SIGN*** Known Wethermon Info
When the battle begins, a badstat(?) field gimmick(?)
is applied to all players.
Levels will be reduced and equipment with level requirements
will be force-unequippable. (Demonstrably, armor will feel
unusually heavy and hard to move in,
weapons will fly from hands.) Normal attacks can generally
be dodged by attentive players, but one hit will even kill
most tanks, so be careful!!
Most annoying is the frequency with which he uses his
finishing move (which he always announces — telegraphing?).
How to deal with his mecha-steed remains unclear.
Slashes and magic attacks don't seem to deal damage, and if you let it be
**[02:20] Pencil Knight**
At the start of the battle,
Wethermon activates a skill
**[02:24] Pencil Knight**
that sets the max level of all characters
in the battle area—except for him—to 50.
**[02:30] Katzo Tataki**
Max level 50?
**[02:32] Sunraku**
That's what you meant about our
levels not being a problem?
**[02:36] Pencil Knight**
Wethermon's level is 200.
**[02:38] Katzo Tataki**
Two hundred?!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
**[02:40] Pencil Knight**
Which means a minimum 150-level gap.
**[02:43] Pencil Knight**
That's why player skill is the key.
**[02:47] Pencil Knight**
Perfect for you, right?
My low-level friends...
**[02:51] Pencil Knight**
You won't need to grind all
the way to the level cap.
**[02:57] Pencil Knight**
Although...
**[02:59] Pencil Knight**
You do absolutely *do* have to reach 50.
***SIGN*** Iron Ruins of the Divinity
**[03:04] Pencil Knight**
So work hard at grinding, all right?
***SIGN*** Grinding = Repeatedly leveling up
**[03:09] Sunraku**
Level 50, huh?
**[03:11] Sunraku**
She said there was a hidden area in
the Iron Ruins perfect for grinding,
**[03:16] Sunraku**
but I still gotta wonder how long it'll take.
**[03:19] Oikatzo**
Guess we won't know until we try.
**[03:36] Oikatzo**
It's like a whole different game in here.
**[03:38] Emul**
The black panels are sliding all around!
**[03:42] Sunraku**
Man, you can get do some great stuff,
glitching out moving platforms like that.
**[03:47] Oikatzo**
You need to soak your eyeballs and
wash away that trash game filter, man.
**[03:52] Oikatzo**
Hang on! I thought I'd
experienced this vibe before!
**[03:56] Oikatzo**
It's the final boss stage
in *Brave Galaxy Fighter*!
**[03:59] Sunraku**
Never heard of that one.
**[04:01] Oikatzo**
It's the pinnacle of sci-fi fighting games,
**[04:02] Oikatzo**
renowned the whole world o—oh, right.
**[04:06] Sunraku**
Why would I know about some god-tier game?
**[04:09] Sunraku**
By the way, Katzo-kun.
**[04:11] Sunraku**
What're you up to now?
**[04:13] Oikatzo**
Level-wise, you mean?
**[04:14] Oikatzo**
Twenty-five.
**[04:16] Sunraku**
My, my! Still in your twenties, are you?
**[04:19] Sunraku**
So young!
**[04:20] Sunraku**
I happen to be 31.
**[04:24] Oikatzo**
It's not that big a difference!
**[04:26] Emul**
He's clearly worried about how
frail and helpless you are, Oikatzo-san!
**[04:31] Sunraku**
You're so wise, Emul!
**[04:32] Oikatzo**
But I'm not!
**[04:34] Oikatzo**
Darn it, she's got it all wrong!
**[04:37] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[04:39] Emul**
Something's approaching!
***SIGN*** Suppression Drone
Type: Pyramid
**[04:48] Sunraku**
So there're enemies mixed in
with the floating panels, huh?
**[04:52] Oikatzo**
You can sit this one out, Sunraku!
**[04:59] Oikatzo**
No matter how low your level might be...
**[05:02] Oikatzo**
*SLF* still lets you stand a chance!
**[05:05] Emul**
You're sure we don't need to lend our aid?
**[05:07] Sunraku**
Eh... nah.
**[05:11] Oikatzo**
Repel Counter!
**[05:14] Oikatzo**
What a simple attack pattern.
**[05:16] Oikatzo**
Wonder if you're supposed to
practice counters on these guys.
**[05:19] Oikatzo**
Crush Uppercut!
**[05:19] sign**
Crush Uppercut
**[05:21] Sunraku**
Hey, one punch!
**[05:23] Emul**
You're actually quite powerful!
**[05:26] Sunraku**
What's with the red aura?
Some kind of buff?
***SIGN*** Buff = Enhancement
**[05:28] Oikatzo**
Yeah.
**[05:30] Oikatzo**
It's a spell that gives bonuses
to strength and vitality.
**[05:32] ---**
It's called Spirit Fist: Red.
***SIGN*** Spirit Fist: Red
**[05:40] Oikatzo**
For my job, I picked a
"spirit fist user" Monk.
**[05:41] sign**
Job: Monk
**[05:43] Oikatzo**
I can't equip weapons, but in exchange,
**[05:45] Oikatzo**
I can give myself buffs and
beat shit up with my fists!
**[05:47] Sunraku**
Build?
**[05:48] Oikatzo**
Lots of HP and vitality—
**[05:52] Oikatzo**
a light fighter, I guess you'd say!
**[05:56] Sunraku**
A build that assumes you'll be
soaking lots of damage, huh?
**[06:01] Sunraku**
"Kill 'em before they kill you."
**[06:03] Sunraku**
Makes sense for a fighting gamer like you.
**[06:06] Sunraku**
If you're wondering, I'm—
**[06:08] Oikatzo**
Oh, I've got you pegged already.
**[06:10] Oikatzo**
A glass cannon with a
strength/agility focus, right?
**[06:14] Sunraku**
Wrong!
**[06:15] Sunraku**
I'm a luck fighter,
specializing in agility and luck!
**[06:20] Oikatzo**
But still a glass cannon, right?
**[06:22] Emul**
He's bursting with vorpal soul!
**[06:25] Oikatzo**
Vorpal soul?
**[06:27] Oikatzo**
What's that?
**[06:28] Emul**
Vorpal soul is vorpal soul, of course!
**[06:32] Sunraku**
Let's see...
**[06:34] Sunraku**
Looks like the floor ahead starts
the passage to the hidden area.
**[06:42] Sunraku**
Pass along the left side of
the plate with the big hole.
**[06:53] Sunraku**
Jump over the fissure.
**[07:01] Sunraku**
Jump onto the plate with damaged sides.
**[07:07] Sunraku**
Slip into the crack between B2F and B3F.
**[07:16] Sunraku**
Now go straight.
**[07:23] Sunraku**
Whoever found this is something else!
**[07:25] Sunraku**
How do you have to be wired
to map out a route like this?
**[07:30] Oikatzo**
Well, Pencilgon found it, right?
**[07:33] Oikatzo**
Seems like explanation enough to me.
**[07:36] Emul**
It truly is a maze!
**[07:39] Sunraku**
"Jump into the hole, and you're done," huh?
**[07:47] Emul**
It's too dark to see the bottom!
**[07:49] Oikatzo**
Is this a weird prank to
kill us in a roundabout way?
***SIGN*** It worked!
**[07:54] Oikatzo**
No way, right?
**[07:57] Sunraku**
She'll have some real
apologizing to do if so.
**[08:01] Emul**
Apologizing?!
**[08:02] Emul**
My da—er, the boss says a proper
apology is *very* important!
**[08:06] Oikatzo**
That's right!
**[08:08] Oikatzo**
We dunno what's down there.
**[08:11] Oikatzo**
I wouldn't want glass cannon Sunraku
to get himself shattered going first.
**[08:17] Oikatzo**
So, I'll take point!
**[08:19] Sunraku**
Thanks.
**[08:23] Emul**
So kind, so strong, so brave!
**[08:26] Emul**
What an admirable lady she is!
**[08:33] Sunraku**
That's a guy, actually.
**[08:36] Sunraku**
I mean, the player... Never mind.
**[08:39] Sunraku**
Um, point is...
**[08:41] Sunraku**
Sometimes a person can look like a woman,
but they've got the soul of a man.
**[08:49] Emul**
L-Life holds so many mysteries!
**[08:53] Sunraku**
The world is truly vast.
**[08:56] Oikatzo**
—ser.
**[08:59] Sunraku**
I think he said something.
**[09:01] Oikatzo**
Get down here, loser!
**[09:03] Sunraku**
Hard to hear.
**[09:05] Sunraku**
Guess it's not a prank to
get us killed, at least.
**[09:07] Emul**
"Get down here, loser!" he said.
**[09:13] Sunraku**
Fine, then!
**[09:15] Sunraku**
I'll murder that asshole!
**[09:17] Emul**
I-I'm not prepared!
**[09:28] Oikatzo**
There you are.
**[09:30] Oikatzo**
Surprisingly gentle slope, right?
**[09:36] Sunraku**
So this is the hidden
area Pencilgon mentioned?
***SIGN*** Tearlight Lake
**[09:43] Sunraku**
"You can fish up a monster called the
Lifestide Lake Serpent in the lake," it says.
**[09:49] Sunraku**
Apparently it gives up some sweet exp drops.
**[09:52] Oikatzo**
Can we fish up a monster
with these puny little rods?
**[09:54] Sunraku**
Well, might as well try it!
**[09:57] Oikatzo**
Sure!
**[10:04] Oikatzo**
Let's compete to see who
can catch more!
**[10:07] Sunraku**
Got a bite already!
**[10:08] Oikatzo**
That's fast!
**[10:09] Sunraku**
My father used to take
me fishing all the time.
**[10:12] Sunraku**
I know all the tips and tricks.
**[10:14] Oikatzo**
I think that's your luck stat, dude.
**[10:16] Sunraku**
Got me, huh?
***SIGN*** Lifestide Salmon
**[10:24] Oikatzo**
A salmon.
**[10:26] Oikatzo**
That's not what we're after.
**[10:28] Oikatzo**
Looks tasty, though.
**[10:30] Oikatzo**
Hey, I got one, too!
**[10:31] Sunraku**
Just another salmon, right?
**[10:34] Oikatzo**
It looks small, so probably.
**[10:36] Sunraku**
Wanna try a new spot?
**[10:40] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[10:45] Emul**
What a grand serpent indeed!
**[10:50] Sunraku**
Katzo, I think that's our guy!
***SIGN*** Lifestide Lake Serpent
**[10:54] Sunraku**
The Lifestide Lake Serpent!
**[11:04] Sunraku**
Guess it's time to unveil my new weapon.
**[11:08] Oikatzo**
Huh?
**[11:09] Oikatzo**
I thought you were too low-level
to equip those Moonblade things.
**[11:15] Sunraku**
Who ever said...
**[11:18] Sunraku**
I had only one weapon made?
**[11:20] Sunraku**
Behold, the Empire Bee Twinblades!
***SIGN*** Empire Bee Twinblades
equipped.
**[11:22] Emul**
How very impressive!
**[11:28] Oikatzo**
What, you had another new weapon?
**[11:31] Emul**
My big sister, Bee, made them!
**[11:33] Oikatzo**
Bee?
**[11:44] (Flashback) Bilac**
It's done!
**[11:45] (Flashback) Bilac**
Made from the Empire Bee
Queen material you brought...
**[11:49] (Flashback) Bilac**
The Empire Bee Twinblades!
**[11:54] (Flashback) Bilac**
Hey! Wake up, lazybones!
**[11:56] (Flashback) Sunraku**
What, it's done already? Um... Bilac?
**[12:01] (Flashback) Emul**
That's Big Sis Bee for you!
**[12:04] (Flashback) Bilac**
You think you can disrespect
me if Pops isn't here?!
**[12:07] (Flashback) Bilac**
I learned the trade from him, y'know!
**[12:11] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Hey, I didn't mean it like that.
**[12:13] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I really appreciate it!
**[12:15] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I was pretty worried about what
I'd do with my main weapon gone.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Am I gonna have to manage affection levels
with rabbits other than Emul and Vash?
**[12:30] (Flashback) Sunraku**
It's not a dang dating sim!
**[12:33] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Actually...
**[12:34] (Flashback) Sunraku**
The thought of having to
manage affection levels with
**[12:37] (Flashback) Sunraku**
more rabbits in the future makes me...
**[12:42] (Flashback) Emul**
What's the matter, Sunraku-san?
**[12:46] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I'm getting trauma flashbacks
from that trash game dating sim!
**[12:51] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I once had to balance affection levels
between twelve girls without a moment's slip.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Sunraku**
The slightest lapse in attention
**[12:58] (Flashback) Sunraku**
would trigger a domino effect
of tumbling affection levels...
**[13:02] (Flashback) Sunraku**
And I'd land the bad end where all the girls
**[13:05] (Flashback) Sunraku**
move to Italy to apprentice at a pizzeria!
**[13:10] (Flashback) Bilac**
The heck're you talking about?
**[13:12] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Sunraku Picklefish's adolescence,
crushed beneath a pizza stone.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Sunraku**
But hey, look at these new weapons!
**[13:20] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Empire Bee Twinblades, huh?
**[13:25] (Flashback) Sunraku**
You're pretty good.
**[13:27] (Flashback) Bilac**
Damn right I am.
**[13:28] (Flashback) Emul**
It's very impressive indeed!
**[13:30] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Glad I came back for the Queen's
materials after I beat the Quad Beetle.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Bilac**
Those blades'll serve you well.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Bilac**
The right-hand blade has a special attribute.
**[13:41] (Flashback) Sunraku**
The right-hand...?
***SIGN*** Spiral Edge
**[13:52] Oikatzu**
This thing is too damn tough!
**[13:54] Oikatzu**
We're too low-level to put
more than a scratch on it!
**[14:01] Sunraku**
* Some weapons, skills, spells,*
* and monster attacks*
**[14:06] Sunraku**
* have the "corrode" attribute,*
* which destroys part of an avatar itself.*
**[14:11] Sunraku**
* If you deal enough damage to*
* the part you want to take out,*
**[14:16] Sunraku**
* it'll cause visible damage to the part in*
* question and create a weak point there.*
**[14:20] (Flashback) Bilac**
But that weapon doesn't
corrode in the normal way.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Bilac**
It infects the part you attack
and corrodes it over time—
**[14:30] (Flashback) Bilac**
with corrosive poison.
***SIGN*** Corrosive Poison
**[14:35] Sunraku**
*It acts like poison—*
**[14:36] Sunraku**
* the "corrode" attribute building up and*
* worming its way in little by little.*
**[14:41] Sunraku**
* And if you keep dealing more corrosive*
* poison with repeated strikes...*
**[14:44] Sunraku**
* it breaks through the*
* enemy's debuff resistance*
**[14:46] Sunraku**
* and causes the corrode attribute*
* to show itself faster!*
**[14:48] Sunraku**
I've stripped away its scales, Katzo!
**[14:50] Oikatzo**
Got it!
**[14:51] Oikatzo**
I'll bring out the big guns!
**[14:53] Oikatzo**
Spirit Fist: Black!
**[15:05] Oikatzo**
Nice!
**[15:06] Oikatzo**
It's a proper weak point now.
**[15:10] Emul**
I-I'll aid in the fight!
**[15:14] Sunraku**
Emul!
**[15:21] Sunraku**
Katzo!
**[15:23] Oikatzo**
I built myself to tank damage, remember?
**[15:25] Oikatzo**
That won't be enough to take me out!
**[15:27] Emul**
Th-Thank you so much!
**[15:32] Oikatzo**
Repel Counter!
**[15:34] Sunraku**
Nice stun! Now, let's press the attack!
**[15:37] Oikatzo**
Yeah!
**[15:38] Emul**
Indeed!
**[15:39] Sunraku**
I'll cut you into serpent fillets!
**[15:39] Oikatzo**
I'll make minced eel out of you!
**[15:39] Emul**
Take this! Magic Edge!
**[15:47] Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[15:48] Emul**
We defeated it!
**[15:50] Oikatzo**
Nice work!
**[15:58] Sunraku**
Hey, I leveled up already!
**[16:00] Sunraku**
These guys really do offer
great exp for the effort.
**[16:03] Oikatzo**
Boy, that thing was tough.
**[16:05] Oikatzo**
I got a four-level jump!
**[16:08] Oikatzo**
Hey, I learned new skills, too!
**[16:11] Oikatzo**
Wonder if I can link 'em
at the Skill Garden...
**[16:15] Sunraku**
Linking skills? You thinking
of another game again?
**[16:25] Oikatzo**
No, man!
**[16:26] Oikatzo**
*SLF* is a game about skills.
**[16:28] Oikatzo**
Of course you can combine the ones you
learn to create combo skills, right?
**[16:33] Sunraku**
Combine?
***SIGN*** Combine...
**[16:34] Oikatzo**
Remember the tutorial in Firstia,
the starting town?!
**[16:38] Sunraku**
Firstia? Never went.

Skills with proficiency

**[16:45] Oikatzo**
at a facility called the Skill Garden.
***SIGN*** Link
**[16:49] Oikatzo**
That lets you create new "combo skills"!
***SIGN*** Chance of KO effect

***SIGN*** Repel Counter
Flash Counter
Loop Slash Lv.5
Accel LV.6
**[16:56] Sunraku**
That's right...
**[16:58] Sunraku**
I was wondering why some
skills changed their name,
**[17:00] Sunraku**
like Repel Counter to Flash Counter,
**[17:02] Sunraku**
and some just came with
level numbers to raise...
**[17:06] Sunraku**
So the second kind can be linked up?!
**[17:10] Oikatzo**
You can also go to the
Skill Garden to find out how long until
**[17:13] Oikatzo**
your skills level up or evolve,
**[17:15] Oikatzo**
and find out conditions
for learning new skills.
**[17:18] Oikatzo**
It's pretty crucial stuff!
**[17:19] Oikatzo**
They also sell grimoires there, and—
**[17:24] Emul**
Sunraku-san! Are you all right?
**[17:27] Oikatzo**
Don't tell me... you don't even
know about sub-jobs and guilds?
***SIGN*** Sub-jobs

**[17:33] Sunraku**
How much did I miss by
skipping one little town?!
**[17:39] Sunraku**
Fine, whatever!
**[17:41] Sunraku**
Wallowing in regret will
just get me depressed!
**[17:44] Sunraku**
Let's get back to the grind!
**[17:52] Sunraku**
The best cure for bad
memories is simple labor!
**[17:55] Sunraku**
Let's catch us a big eel, Katzo! Emul!
**[17:59] Emul**
R-Righty-o!
**[18:02] Oikatzo**
Going for the mental blackout, huh?
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[18:09] Pencilgon**
Level 42 and Level 40?
**[18:13] Pencilgon**
That's a lot of progress
in pretty a short time.
**[18:16] Pencilgon**
You could even afford to slow down a bit...
**[18:18] Pencilgon**
What got into you?
**[18:19] Oikatzo**
Actually, turns out Sunraku
skipped the tutori—
**[18:24] Oikatzo**
Fine, fine. I won't tell her.
**[18:28] Oikatzo**
Still, Emul-chan's got some
pretty nice attack power!
**[18:35] Emul**
I'm truly exhausted!
**[18:37] Sunraku**
It just so happens,
my dear little Emul is level 56!
**[18:41] Sunraku**
And this tent's a handy little thing, huh?
**[18:44] Sunraku**
It's not the coziest, but it
lets you make a save point, right?
***SIGN*** Save Tent
**[18:48] Pencilgon**
Yeah, but they're the worst.
**[18:50] Pencilgon**
Stupidly expensive for something
with a limited number of uses.
**[18:54] Pencilgon**
I'd never use one for this if
we weren't pressed for time.
**[18:59] Pencilgon**
Well, enough sitting around. Let's go!
**[19:02] Sunraku**
Go?
**[19:03] Oikatzo**
Go where?
**[19:06] Pencilgon**
It's a full moon tonight.
The only time we can meet her.
**[19:12] Sunraku**
Meet who?
**[19:14] Pencilgon**
In order to fight Wethermon the Tombguard,
there's someone we need to talk to.
**[19:21] Pencilgon**
The unique NPC... Setsuna of Bygone Days.
**[19:27] Pencilgon**
Set-chan.

The mysterious monster-bird...

We'll use all of SF-Zoo's animal
knowledge to find it, or die trying!
**[22:20] Woman**
Captain! Look at this!
**[22:25] Animalia**
Is this... a footprint from
the Rabbit-Eared Shoebill?
**[22:29] Animalia**
Looks more humanoid than bird-like...
**[22:33] Narrator**
Following the footsteps,
the expedition moved further into the forest.
**[22:38] Narrator**
And that's when they heard it!
**[22:44] Man**
Captain! That call...
**[22:46] Animalia**
It must be the Rabbit-Eared Shoebill!
**[22:49] Narrator**
The piercing call caused
them to tremble in fear!
**[22:53] Narrator**
And then they saw it!
**[23:01] Animalia**
We found it!
**[23:01] Animalia**
Let's chase it down!
**[23:02] All**
Right!
**[23:06] Narrator**
They were unable to get
a clear image on camera.
**[23:10] Narrator**
But the Rabbit-Eared
Shoebill truly did exist!
**[23:15] Narrator**
Their desperate search proved in vain,
**[23:17] Narrator**
and they were unable to
get a clear shot of it.
**[23:22] Narrator**
Nevertheless, the Animalia
Expedition's search continued.
**[23:26] Narrator**
Some day, they would find
that mysterious animal!
**[23:34] Oikatzo**
Man, watching that huge beetle send
you flying was hilarious, Sunraku.
**[23:41] Sunraku**
I'm just glad I survived.
**[23:43] Emul**
I'm still not sure that I did!

This world is filled with
too many games to count,

***SIGN*** Prismatic Forest Grotto
**[02:25] Pencilgon**
On full moon nights,
**[02:26] Pencilgon**
if you look at the luminescent moss on
the wall of the Prismatic Forest Grotto,
**[02:30] Pencilgon**
there's a small portion that remains dark.
**[02:38] Pencilgon**
If you examine it...
**[02:47] Sunraku**
A secret passage!
**[02:55] Sunraku**
To think I beat the Prismatic Forest
Grotto and missed a whole hidden area...
**[02:59] Sunraku**
That really stings, man!
**[03:01] Oikatzo**
How'd you even find out about this?
**[03:03] Emul**
It's truly incredible!
**[03:05] Pencilgon**
Finding these time-specific hidden
areas is luck of the draw.
**[03:08] Pencilgon**
I came here to grab some items I needed
and just happened to stumble onto it.
**[03:14] Sunraku**
Which means people who find unique stuff
must be blessed by IRL fortune, eh?
**[03:19] Oikatzo**
Wipe that look off your face.
It's pissing me off.
**[03:23] Sunraku**
This is the face of an emperor on high,
**[03:25] Sunraku**
gazing down upon a struggling
peasant with beneficent pity...
**[03:31] Sunraku**
And that's how you react, you filthy ingrate?
**[03:34] Oikatzo**
I *will* punch you.
**[03:36] Pencilgon**
Enough of the comedy act.
**[03:38] Pencilgon**
We're here.
**[04:10] Emul**
What beautiful flowers!
**[04:12] Pencilgon**
All unique stuff aside,
I really like this area.
**[04:18] Oikatzo**
It's pretty, but... it's creepy, too, right?
**[04:23] Sunraku**
Spider lilies, huh?
**[04:26] Sunraku**
Not one of your more
auspicious flowers, is it?
**[04:29] Setsuna**
*Into the gap between moments*
**[04:36] Oikatzu**
Sunraku, look!
**[04:39] Setsuna**
*spills a single wish*
**[04:48] Setsuna**
*Distant days, so blurred by tears...*
**[04:52] Emul**
She's transparent!
**[04:53] Sunraku**
Is it a bug?
**[04:54] Oikatzu**
You always assume bugs
over plot reasons, huh?
**[04:58] Pencilgon**
Hey, Set-chan!
**[05:00] Pencilgon**
It's been a whole month.
**[05:01] Setsuna**
Oh, Arthur. It's been a while.
***SIGN*** Setsuna of Bygone Days
**[05:08] Sunraku**
The clothes she's wearing...
**[05:10] Sunraku**
Not very "fantasy," are they?
**[05:12] Sunraku**
Looks more like something
you'd wear in our world.
**[05:16] Sunraku**
Is she from the setting's age
of antiquity, the Divinity?
**[05:20] Sunraku**
Could she hold a key to that
unique scenario I unlocked?
***SIGN*** Bonus Unique Scenario

Rec. Level: 80
**[05:29] Setsuna**
This isn't the same group you brought before.
**[05:32] Pencilgon**
Yeah, let me make some introductions.
**[05:35] Sunraku**
Hey, we're Pencilgon's band of merry men!
**[05:38] Sunraku**
The man of a hundred skills, Sunra—
**[05:38] Pencilgon**
Stooge 1, Stooge 2, and their mascot.
**[05:42] Sunraku**
Hey, don't treat us like that!
**[05:44] Sunraku**
I even came up with a cool pose!
**[05:47] Pencilgon**
They're my ace in the hole
**[05:49] Pencilgon**
to finally put Wethermon to rest.
**[05:55] Emul**
I'm Emul, daughter of Vysache!
**[05:58] Sunraku**
Hey, don't get ahead of me!
**[06:00] Oikatzo**
And I'm Oikatzo!
**[06:01] Sunraku**
Same to you!
**[06:03] Setsuna**
Arthur, this is quite a
party you've assembled.
**[06:06] Pencilgon**
Don't you worry.
**[06:07] Pencilgon**
They might not be much to look at now,
**[06:09] Pencilgon**
but I'll train them up before the battle.
**[06:11] Setsuna**
That's not what I meant.
**[06:13] Setsuna**
I've never met a person with Sooty's
presence applied to them twice.
**[06:17] Setsuna**
And accompanied by Cinderella's
child, at that...
**[06:23] Setsuna**
You reminded me of someone from long ago.
**[06:26] Sunraku**
Um...?
**[06:28] Setsuna**
It's nothing, really. Just nostalgia.
**[06:31] Setsuna**
It was so long, long ago.
**[06:38] Setsuna**
I'm sure she's long dead now, of course...
**[06:47] Setsuna**
You've revived lovely old
memories from my past.
**[06:51] Setsuna**
Thank you.
**[06:54] Sunraku**
You're... welcome?
**[06:57] Pencilgon**
Set-chan, I'd like you to
tell them about him, as well.

Very well.

**[07:21] Setsuna**
He... Wethermon was my dearest love.
**[07:29] Setsuna**
We had a minor misunderstanding,
and I died, and...
**[07:32] Setsuna**
He's spent all the time since...
**[07:35] Setsuna**
All the time since... guarding my grave.
**[07:39] Sunraku**
Your grave?
**[07:40] Oikatzo**
Hence "Tombguard," eh?
**[07:43] Setsuna**
I don't know how much time
has passed since my death,
**[07:48] Setsuna**
but the next thing I knew,
I was in this state.
**[07:57] Setsuna**
Although I feel no resentment
about the way my life ended.
**[08:02] Setsuna**
Death is an ending.
**[08:04] Setsuna**
Things that end should lie in the past.
**[08:06] Setsuna**
They shouldn't tie down someone's
present... or their future.
**[08:12] Setsuna**
I can't stand knowing that he
remains tied down by my past.
**[08:18] Setsuna**
He used a program—
**[08:21] Setsuna**
a spell that I wrote,
to create a barrier here.
**[08:25] Sunraku**
She used a kind of anachronistic
word just now...
**[08:30] Setsuna**
By using the mana that
dwells within moonlight
**[08:32] Setsuna**
and inverting the coordinates to
the underside of the dimension
**[08:35] Setsuna**
he's made it impossible for
anyone to reach that location.
**[08:39] Setsuna**
But on the night of a new moon...
when the moon loses all its light...
**[08:43] Setsuna**
A crack forms
**[08:44] Setsuna**
in the barrier preventing access to the
underside coordinates where he waits.
**[08:48] Oikatzo**
So we gotta jump through
the crack and fight him?
**[08:55] Setsuna**
Please put Wethermon...
**[08:57] Setsuna**
Please put my love to rest.
**[09:06] Pencilgon**
Leave it to us, Set-chan.
**[09:08] Pencilgon**
We're not like the bunglers
who've tried it in the past.
**[09:11] Pencilgon**
If that jerk is making you suffer,
**[09:13] Pencilgon**
we'll put him six feet under!
**[09:17] Sunraku**
Did you hear that?
**[09:19] Oikatzo**
Is that the Pencilgon we know?
**[09:21] Sunraku**
The one who, in *Unite Rounds*,
dragged an NPC king along behind her carriage
**[09:25] Sunraku**
to try to lure in enemies!
**[09:27] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Yahoo!
**[09:29] Oikatzo**
The Pencil Knight who tied an
NPC princess to the chandelier
**[09:33] Oikatzo**
to bait players into trying to rescue her!
**[09:38] Sunraku**
She's having a pleasant chat with an NPC?!
**[09:41] Sunraku**
Has she regained some
sliver of her humanity?!
**[09:44] Oikatzo**
What is... this feeling? Is this... a soul?
**[09:59] Pencilgon**
I think there's a limit to
how much rudeness I can take.
**[10:04] Pencilgon**
You want to learn how much violence
someone at max level can dish out?!
**[10:09] Sunraku**
Hold on a minute!
My HP's already at critical!
**[10:12] Oikatzu**
Look out, Sunraku,
she's not gonna let us off easy!
**[10:14] Oikatzu**
She's in a PKing mood!
**[10:22] Pencilgon**
Honestly.
**[10:24] Pencilgon**
If we didn't have the
Wethermon fight coming up,
**[10:26] Pencilgon**
I wouldn't back off until I'd
spawn-killed you five times over.
**[10:29] Sunraku**
There's that heartless
Pencilgon we know and love.
**[10:33] Oikatzo**
She's such an easy mark.
***SIGN*** Submission Pose
**[10:37] Pencilgon**
Maybe I should kill you after all.
**[10:41] Pencilgon**
Look, sometimes even I like to
play it straight with an NPC.
**[10:46] Pencilgon**
With her name being Setsuna, and her
backstory... it just got me invested.
**[10:54] Pencilgon**
Okay, look, fine!
**[10:56] Pencilgon**
I can get emotionally invested in
a game now and then, too, okay?!
**[11:01] Sunraku**
Hey, that's fine by me.
**[11:04] Sunraku**
Getting serious about a
game is a great thing.
**[11:08] Sunraku**
Everything's more fun when
you take it dead serious!
**[11:12] Oikatzo**
That's right!
**[11:13] Oikatzo**
Taking your playtime seriously
is what makes it fun.
**[11:16] Oikatzo**
Of course, that's also the
job for a pro gamer like me.
**[11:21] Sunraku**
Wait. You're a pro,
you're taking the game seriously,
**[11:23] Sunraku**
and you haven't even found a single
unique thing for yourself?!
**[11:27] Oikatzo**
Okay, now you've done it!
**[11:29] Oikatzo**
I'm gonna tear those feathers off your head
**[11:30] Oikatzo**
and give you a head covered in goosebumps!
**[11:32] Sunraku**
Katzo, stop! One more hit and I'm dead!
**[11:36] Emul**
Please, cease your fighting at once!
**[11:39] Emul**
Stop it!
**[11:42] Pencilgon**
Oh, right, I forgot!
**[11:46] Pencilgon**
You guys are as stupid as I am!
**[11:57] Pencilgon**
We're facing a unique monster which
forces a 150 level handicap—
**[12:00] Pencilgon**
something unprecedented
in boss battle history—
**[12:05] Pencilgon**
Wethermon the Tombguard.
**[12:07] Pencilgon**
But I know we can do this!
**[12:10] Pencilgon**
Let's take this seriously and win!
**[12:12] Both**
Right!
**[12:50] Rakuro**
Morning already?
**[12:52] Rakuro**

Towa Amane, the megastar model

Nickname, Towa-sama!
**[14:35] Rumi**
You could fill a whole fashion

**[14:38] Rumi**
It's like she was born to be a model!
**[14:41] Rumi**
A fan of hers took pictures of her in

and even though she didn't
know it was happening,
**[14:48] Rakuro**
Towa?
**[14:48] Rumi**
Towa-sama looked perfect in every one!
**[14:50] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
With her name being Setsuna, and her
backstory... it just got me invested.
**[14:55] Rakuro**
*Towa—"Eternity"—who lives in the moment,*

Er, "Towa-sama" deserves

I managed to fish it up

* We have an agreement in our*

Hey, there!
**[18:07] Dragonfly**
Oh, hello there!
**[18:08] Sunraku**
"Dragonfly"?
**[18:10] Sunraku**
Never seen that name before.
**[18:12] Sunraku**
Um, you've got your VS icon on...
**[18:15] Sunraku**
Wanna go?
**[18:16] Dragonfly**
Yes!
**[18:17] Dragonfly**
I'm really new and I haven't
even beaten the final boss yet,
**[18:20] Dragonfly**
so I'd love if you could give me some tips!
**[18:23] Sunraku**
*He hasn't beaten the last boss?*

**[18:36] Sunraku**
Glitches are fair game, right?
**[18:37] Dragonfly**
Yes! Thank you for having me!
**[18:40] Sunraku**
*Looks like an all-rounder build.*
**[18:42] Sunraku**
* He's the type that generates*

*Well, let's see what you've got.*

**[18:57] Sunraku**

**[19:03] Dragonfly**
Twist your hand, pull back, and...
**[19:05] Sunraku**
*That move!*
**[19:07] Sunraku**
* By drawing your fist back just*
* as you unleash the punch motion,*
**[19:10] Sunraku**
* you generate a bug that*
* extends your arm like rubber!*
**[19:14] Sunraku**
*If the hit lands,*
**[19:16] Sunraku**
* it'll deal a two-hit combo*
* with double the damage!*
**[19:20] Sunraku**
*Its name is...*
**[19:21] Dragonfly**
Pile Bunker!
**[19:31] Dragonfly**
He disappeared?
**[19:38] Dragonfly**
Your leg...
**[19:40] Sunraku**
This is a bug move: the Yo-Yo.
**[19:42] Sunraku**
It throws off your avatar's
texture and hit box at once.
**[19:46] Sunraku**
Looks like you can use
some basic bug moves...
**[19:49] Sunraku**
But there's way more to this game than that.
**[19:52] Sunraku**
I came in to practice for
the Wethermon battle...
**[19:57] Sunraku**
But *BERP* is full of bugs that the
**[19:59] Sunraku**
players have discovered
through trial and research...
**[20:02] Sunraku**
And I'll give you a full demonstration.

This world is filled with

earns the title of "god-tier game"!
**[00:27] Narrator**
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,

**[02:19] Mob D**
No way it's a new player, right?
**[02:21] Mob B**
Hard to believe, but I think it might be!
**[02:28] Dragonfly**
I'll take at least one round!
**[02:34] Sunraku**
Quickdraw Fist!
***SIGN*** Dragonfly

**[02:46] VO**
*You lose!*
**[02:48] Dragonfly**
Wh-Why can't I take a
single round against you?!
**[02:52] Sunraku**
The Quickdraw Fist style
is basically unbeatable.
**[02:56] Dragonfly**
One more match! This'll be the last one!
**[02:59] Dragonfly**
Best of three!
**[03:01] Sunraku**
If you insist.
**[03:02] Sunraku**
But this'll be the last one.
**[03:04] Dragonfly**
Thank you so much!
**[03:05] Sunraku**

**[03:17] Sunraku**
Same approach again?
**[03:30] Sunraku**
Hey!
**[03:32] Sunraku**
You learned to time the Yo-Yo
to your opponent's attacks?
**[03:36] Dragonfly**
Yes! I think I'm getting the hang of it!
**[03:39] Sunraku**
* Still, I meant to come train*
* myself for the Wethermon fight,*
**[03:42] Sunraku**
* but I basically ended up*
* training some newbie...*
**[03:46] Sunraku**
* I really wish I could've landed*
* some stronger competition...*
**[03:58] Dragonfly**
Flying Smash!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[04:03] Sunraku**
* He closed in with the retraction*
* of his elongated leg,*
**[04:07] Sunraku**
*and attacked simultaneously!*
**[04:09] Sunraku**
That's some seriously impressive improvement.
**[04:12] Sunraku**
But...
**[04:13] Sunraku**
your choice of Flying Smash,
which isn't a bug technique,
**[04:17] Sunraku**
shows just how little you
understand about *BERP*.
**[04:19] Sunraku**
Flying Smash may be a powerful move,
but it leaves you with a wicked recovery time.
**[04:23] Sunraku**
Makes it hard to deal out a
follow-up, even when you land it.
**[04:27] Sunraku**
The correct move is...
**[04:29] Sunraku**
Pile Bunker!
**[04:36] Dragonfly**
H-He's so fast!
**[04:47] Dragonfly**
If I can't get away, then...
**[04:53] Sunraku**
Still charging in headlong?!
**[04:57] Sunraku**
I'll just counter with a Quickdraw Fist!
**[05:03] Sunraku**
*What's he doing?!*
**[05:07] Dragonfly**
Flying Smash!
**[05:10] Sunraku**
*He triggered two Flying Smashes at once?!*
**[05:12] Sunraku**
*I've never seen that happen!*
**[05:14] Sunraku**
* A Quickdraw Fist could*
* probably counter it, but...*
**[05:17] Sunraku**
I think I'll let it hit me!

**[05:30] Dragonfly**

**[05:32] Mob C**
What just happened?
**[05:34] Mob C**
Did he stack Flying Smashes?
**[05:36] Mob A**
Yeah. I've never seen that happen before.
**[05:39] Sunraku**
Well, what do you guys think?
**[05:41] Sunraku**
Both of 'em had hitboxes for sure.
**[05:45] Mob C**
Fundamentally, it's a Pile Bunker...
**[05:48] Mob C**
But that shouldn't let you stack gauge moves.
**[05:52] Mob A**
It must be a form of the
Doppelganger bug, right?
**[05:55] Sunraku**
That's never let you form a double
in the same coordinates, though.
**[05:59] Sunraku**
That much has been verified.
**[06:00] Mob D**
And you can't use a Chimera
from a Doppelganger.
**[06:04] Mob D**
Which means...
**[06:05] Sunraku**
Yeah.
**[06:06] Sunraku**
If the test team can
reproduce it, it's a lock.
**[06:10] Sunraku**
Dragonfly-san.
**[06:12] Dragonfly**
Y-Yes?
**[06:13] Sunraku**
Congratulations.
**[06:15] Sunraku**
It's not quite official yet,
**[06:16] Sunraku**
but you're probably the discoverer
of a new bugged-out move!
**[06:21] Mob C**
Congratulations!
**[06:22] Mob A**
Wonderful!
**[06:23] Mob D**
Bravo!
**[06:23] Mob B**
Congrats!
**[06:24] Dragonfly**
H-Hey, thanks!
**[06:26] Sunraku**
The discoverer of the bug
move usually gets to name it.
**[06:31] Sunraku**
So, what you got?
**[06:32] Dragonfly**
O-Oh, this is all too sudden...
**[06:38] Dragonfly**
Um... a name for the move?
**[06:40] Dragonfly**
Let's see...
**[06:41] Sunraku**
You don't have to choose right away.
**[06:44] Sunraku**
Take some time and think about it.
**[06:45] Sunraku**
Besides, we've still got
rounds to play, right?
**[06:48] Sunraku**
In exchange for showing me a
new bug, I'll show you one, too.
**[06:53] Dragonfly**
You mean it?!
**[06:54] Sunraku**
It's a pretty crazy bug
that can only be activated
**[06:57] Sunraku**
the instant the round starts, though.

**[07:52] Dragonfly**
Two quick losses in a row...
**[07:55] Dragonfly**
Having one clone hold me in place while
the other one attacks isn't fair!
**[08:00] Sunraku**
Yeah, it's not fair how the clone ends
up controlled by the AI if you let it.
**[08:05] Dragonfly**
Thank you so much for giving up
your time to a new player like me!
**[08:10] Sunraku**
No prob.
**[08:11] Dragonfly**
I've learned so much today.
**[08:14] Dragonfly**
I'm going to think up a cool
name for my own bug move, too!
**[08:19] Sunraku**
Oh...
**[08:21] Sunraku**
Speaking of, there's one really
creepy bug a friend of mine found.
**[08:26] Sunraku**

**[09:36] Sunraku**
But discovering new things

so Father put me in charge of
it... and that's why I'm here.
**[11:11] Sunraku**
Did he, now?
**[11:15] Emul**
He's picked up my sister's speech pattern!
**[11:18] Sunraku**
Well, then, if you'd be so kind,

**[12:42] Sunraku**
I had to stat up to equip my Moonblades,
so I never got to increase my VIT...
**[12:49] Sunraku**
My defenses are still paper-thin.
**[12:52] Sunraku**
No... make that tissue-paper-thin.
**[12:55] Elke**
Well, here you are!
**[12:58] Sunraku**
Wow, that really was fast!
**[13:01] Elke**
It's all ready for you!
**[13:03] Elke**
It's six combinations at once,
so the amount is *quite* copious...

but the moment you drink it all down,
**[13:09] Elke**
you'll learn the combined skills instantly.

Congratulations to you!
**[13:58] Elke**
Isn't it lovely?
**[14:00] Elke**
Oh, that's right. If you'd like...
**[14:04] Elke**
There are Skill Grimoires you can
acquire only here in Rabituza.
**[14:09] Elke**
Would you like to buy one?
**[14:11] Sunraku**
Skill Grimoires?
**[14:13] Elke**
And as my sister is so *very* fond of you...
**[14:16] Elke**
I'll give you a discount.
**[14:18] Sunraku**
You mean it? Awesome!
**[14:20] Emul**
Do be cautious, Sunraku-san!
**[14:23] Emul**
Despite appearances, Big Sister
Elke is quite a moneygru—
**[14:26] Sunraku**
Wow, I can tell you're related!
Your sister's fast, too.
**[14:31] Sunraku**
Don't sweat it, Emul.
**[14:34] Sunraku**
When it comes to merch you can only
buy in special areas like this,
**[14:39] Sunraku**
I'm always prepared to pay some high prices.
**[14:42] Elke**
What a wise bird-man you are!
**[14:44] Elke**
If I might ask, how much
do you have to spend?
**[14:47] Sunraku**
I've been having a fire
sale on materials lately,
**[14:50] Sunraku**
so I've got about 80,000 mahni on-hand.
**[14:52] Elke**
Gracious me!
**[14:53] Elke**
You could easily afford these, then.

I thought she was gonna tear

Why, Big Sister Elke would never...
**[15:53] Emul**
Actually, she might.
**[15:55] Sunraku**
I wanted to buy that waist

**[16:00] Sunraku**
I'll have to make some more money
before the Wethermon fight.
**[16:09] Sunraku**
Hey, what time is it?
**[16:13] Sunraku**
Whoa, just in time!
**[16:14] Sunraku**
Who knows what they'd do to me

**[16:18] Sunraku**
Emul, open a gate!
**[16:20] Emul**
Righty-o!
***SIGN*** The Serpent's Apple
**[16:38] Sunraku**
A fine evening to you.
**[16:41] Pencilgon**
Oh, Sunraku-kun.
**[16:43] Pencilgon**
You're actually on time for once.
**[16:46] Oikatzo**
You have a good day or something?
**[16:48] Pencilgon**
I wouldn't say that, exactly...
**[16:51] Pencilgon**
But I've made up my mind.
**[16:52] Sunraku**
About what?
**[16:54] Pencilgon**
Regarding our fight against Wethermon
the Tombguard in two weeks...
**[17:00] Pencilgon**
There's just one problem.
**[17:02] Oikatzo**
Problem?
**[17:03] Sunraku**
What is it? We're both over level 50 now.
**[17:06] Pencilgon**
Currently, the only ones who know
the conditions to meet Wethermon
**[17:10] Pencilgon**
are my clan, the Ashura Kai.
**[17:14] Pencilgon**
They've been using the
unique monster system—
**[17:17] Pencilgon**
the fact that you get experience
just for encountering them—
**[17:21] Pencilgon**
to level up and build their PVP skills.
**[17:26] Oikatzo**
Ashura Kai?
**[17:28] Sunraku**
Those guys, huh?
**[17:30] Oikatzo**
Unlike Lycagon, you can always meet
him in a given time and place.
**[17:35] Oikatzo**
Must be pretty ideal for grinding, huh?
**[17:39] Pencilgon**
So the issue is...
**[17:42] Sunraku**
On the night of the new moon,
when we fight Wethermon,
**[17:46] Sunraku**
we'll end up at odds with the
members of the Ashura Kai
**[17:50] Sunraku**
who've already accepted the
unique scenario. Right?
**[17:53] Pencilgon**
Yes.
**[17:55] Oikatzo**
But aren't you part of their clan?
**[17:57] Oikatzo**
Can't you work together or something?
**[17:59] Oikatzo**
Like... ask them to stand down this month?
**[18:02] Pencilgon**
Not a chance.
**[18:04] Pencilgon**
They're actively opposed
to defeating Wethermon.
**[18:08] Sunraku**
I'm not sure I see where
you're going with this.
**[18:11] Sunraku**
What exactly is it you've
"made up your mind" about?
**[18:23] Pencilgon**
The Ashura Kai...
**[18:25] Pencilgon**
are universally hated for
their player-killing habits.
**[18:30] Sunraku**
I'll bet, yeah.
**[18:32] Pencilgon**
And there was recently an
update that gives players
**[18:36] Pencilgon**
who've done PKing a special sort of status.
**[18:40] Oikatzo**
A special status?
**[18:42] Pencilgon**
If a player kills a PKer,
**[18:46] Pencilgon**
in addition to a bounty,
**[18:48] Pencilgon**
they earn the right to any items and
equipment the PKer was carrying.
**[18:55] Pencilgon**
All of it—including stuff
they've got in storage.
**[19:00] Sunraku**
Oh?
**[19:01] Pencilgon**
High-level PKers like the Ashura Kai tend
to end up with some pretty rare items.
**[19:07] Pencilgon**
Which makes PKers like us basically
walking treasure chests.
**[19:16] Pencilgon**
It's created a new class
of player—the PK Killer.
**[19:20] Pencilgon**
Of course, we've found loopholes
**[19:21] Pencilgon**
in the system to reduce the
damage they can do to us,
**[19:26] Pencilgon**
but someone could get around all
of that by attacking our hideout.
**[19:30] Sunraku**
Your hideout?
**[19:32] Sunraku**
Hang on. So the thing you
made up your mind about...
**[19:35] Oikatzo**
You mean...
**[19:37] Pencilgon**
That's right.
**[19:38] Pencilgon**
Naturally, I know just where that hideout is.
**[19:43] Pencilgon**
And that gang of cowards is just
a thorn in my side at this point.
**[19:48] Pencilgon**
So...
**[19:49] Pencilgon**
I was thinking we'd go squash the Ashura Kai.

*Shangri-La Frontier*...
**[00:03] Sunraku**
*SLF *for short.
**[00:05] Sunraku**
A god-tier game with over
30 million registered users.
**[00:08] Sunraku**
Trash game hunter Sunraku—a.k.a I,
Rakuro Hizutome, am taking it on!
**[00:13] Pencilgon**
What kind of wannabe-main-character
narration is that?
**[00:15] Sunraku**
Nothing wannabe about it!
I* am *the main character!
**[00:17] Sunraku**
I'm here to look back on
the story so far in* SLF*,
**[00:20] Sunraku**
and highlight my personal god-like playing!
**[00:23] Katzo**
Oh? Don't you mean *trash-like* playing?
**[00:26] Sunraku**
Katzo, you're here, too?!
**[00:28] Sunraku**
The only narrator they need
for this recap episode is me!
**[00:32] Katzo**
C'mon, Sunraku.
**[00:33] Katzo**
There's more to MCing than
parroting a bunch of buzzwords.
**[00:37] Sunraku**
I'm not a damned parrot!
**[00:38] Emul**
Let us all enjoy this trip
down memory lane together!
**[00:41] Sunraku**
What, Emul's here, too?
**[00:43] Emul**
I am your attendant, after all, Sunraku-san!
**[00:46] Emul**
Now, everyone, I brought nice
mana recovery potions for all!
**[00:50] Katzo**
Yay.
**[00:52] Sunraku**
Hey, Katzo!
**[00:52] Sunraku**
I know you obsessively watch
every episode in secret.
**[00:55] Sunraku**
You don't need a recap, so get lost!
**[00:57] Katzo**
Dunno what you mean!
**[00:59] Katzo**
Why would a pro gamer watch
some trash gamer's anime?
**[01:03] Pencilgon**
You know, your whole stooges act has
taken us almost through the opening.
**[01:07] Pencilgon**
We put this bonus episode together special
**[01:09] Pencilgon**
with the big battle against Wethermon
the Tombguard coming up next week.
**[01:13] Pencilgon**
Maybe you want to make a less
stupid first impression?
**[01:16] Sunraku**
Oh, crap. Let's do the title call, guys!
**[01:19] Katzo**
Yeah!
**[01:19] Pencilgon**
Got it.

It all begins now!!
**[01:26] Emul**
Yes, indeed!
**[01:31] Katzo**
In an age where display-based
games are considered retro,
**[01:34] Katzo**
and fully immersive VR games
have become the norm...
**[01:38] Katzo**
Beneath the small number
of works of significance
**[01:40] Katzo**
lies a massive pile of releases
**[01:42] Katzo**
whose game designs don't live up
to their improved graphics technology.
***SIGN*** Not Trash Games
***SIGN*** Semi-Redeemable Trash Games
***SIGN*** Never Play Again
**[01:47] Katzo**
They are known as "trash games."
**[01:51] Katzo**
Although most people
rightfully despise trash games,
**[01:55] Katzo**
there are those who gleefully seek them out.
**[01:58] Katzo**
We call these people "freaks."
**[02:02] Sunraku**
Who the hell are you calling a freak?!
***SIGN*** Rakuro Hizutome
***SIGN*** High School 2nd-Year

*in *those trash games!
**[02:05] Sunraku**

***SIGN*** Summer Break Promotion!!

**[02:07] Pencilgon**
But there's a game that even
those freaks can enjoy.
**[02:10] Pencilgon**

Seriously, why're you talking that way?
**[02:14] Sunraku**

***SIGN*** Create New Character

**[02:45] Sunraku**
W-Well...
**[02:51] Sunraku**
Pioneer Sunraku joins the god-tier game fray!
**[02:55] Pencilgon**
You sure you should try to sound
cool in that deviant getup of yours?
**[02:59] Sunraku**
There, I found a world far vaster than the
many, many games I'd played previously!
**[03:07] Pencilgon**
Probably because they were all trash games?
**[03:10] Sunraku**
Look... could you shut up a minute?
**[03:13] Katzo**
Hey, Sunraku, you got Vorpal
Choppers that early?
***SIGN*** Vorpal Chopper
Bonus to critical damage.
***SIGN*** Secondale
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[03:17] Emul**
Impressive as ever, Sunraku-san!
**[03:19] Emul**
Your vorpal soul was blazing
from the very start!
**[03:22] Sunraku**
Without my trusty Vorpal Choppers,
**[03:24] Sunraku**
I'd have surely died before reaching
the starter town, Secondale.
**[03:29] Katzo**
The starter town is* Firstia*.
**[03:32] Katzo**
You skipped it for no reason, remember?
**[03:33] Sunraku**
There's no city by that name on my map.
**[03:37] Sunraku**
Screw Pierce!
**[03:46] Sunraku**
Heck yeah!
**[03:48] Sunraku**
I freaking did it!
***SIGN*** Dropped Item

**[03:56] Sunraku**
Oh, crap! I'm still running out of time!
**[04:00] Sunraku**
The minute I get to town,
I'll buy an antidote...
**[04:03] Sunraku**
Wait, I dunno where the shops are!
I won't make it!
**[04:05] Sunraku**
I'd better register my respawn point first!
**[04:08] Sunraku**
That'd be an inn, right?
**[04:10] Sunraku**
But I don't know where
that is either, damn it!
***SIGN*** Inn
**[04:19] Sunraku**
Heck yeah!

***SIGN*** Respawn point registered.

**[04:29] Pencilgon/Katzo**
Someone's having fun!
**[04:32] Sunraku**
Yes... I hate to say it, but I was
getting pretty into the thing.
**[04:35] Sunraku**
I'd underestimated that god-tier game!
**[04:37] Sunraku**
Forgive me!
**[04:39] Sunraku**
But... that was just a little intro.
**[04:43] Sunraku**
It was my encounter with a certain someone
that gave me a taste of the true* SLF*.
**[04:55] Katzo**
The unique monster...
Lycagon the Nightslayer.
**[04:58] Emul**
The Night Emperor!
**[05:00] Emul**
The colossus who appears
out of nowhere at night,
**[05:02] Emul**
and gobbles up wyverns like a midnight snack!
**[05:06] Emul**
How truly terrifying it is!
**[05:08] Pencilgon**
Seven unique monsters known
as the Seven Colossi—
**[05:12] Pencilgon**
Once defeated, they never revive,
***SIGN*** Vorpal Choppers
Equipped
**[05:16] Pencilgon**
and nobody's even defeated one yet.
***SIGN*** Slide Step
Bonus to user's evasion.
**[05:20] Sunraku**
Which means you gotta beat
'em before anyone else does!
**[05:30] Sunraku**
*This spine-tingling intensity that
makes me feel like I'm on fire...*
**[05:36] Sunraku**
*It's not possible to enjoy
a game more than this!*
**[05:40] Sunraku**
*Bugs! Garbage balance! Absurd spawn rates!*
**[05:43] Sunraku**
*I'm a gamer who's made it
through all those trash games!*
**[05:50] Sunraku**
*And since I know* you *don't
have a bugged-out hitbox...
**[05:53] Sunraku**
*There's no way in hell I'm
gonna throw in the towel!*
**[05:58] Pencilgon**
Still, seeing you keep up with Lycagon
after just starting the game...
**[06:03] Pencilgon**
That's the Sunraku-kun I know.
**[06:05] Pencilgon**
Still a total freak!
**[06:06] Sunraku**
I'd prefer "extremely competent,
**[06:08] Sunraku**
thanks to building up skills in
unreasonable trash games," thank you.
**[06:10] Katzo**
But man, this thing seems strong!
**[06:14] Katzo**
So that's the scale unique
monsters like Wethermon are on?
**[06:17] Sunraku**
At the time, I didn't even
know about the Seven Colossi.
**[06:22] Sunraku**
But having met that thing, I'd found a
clear objective in my* SLF *playthrough.
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[06:32] Sunraku**
I've made up my mind.
**[06:34] Sunraku**
I don't give a damn about
the final boss or the story.
**[06:37] Sunraku**
It might not be now, but someday...
**[06:40] Sunraku**
I'm gonna beat you, for sure.
**[06:44] Sunraku**
You better not let anyone
beat you before then...
**[06:47] Sunraku**
Lycagon the Nightslayer!
***SIGN*** Lycagon's Mark (Curse)
Applied
***SIGN*** Respawn
Secondale Inn
**[07:00] Sunraku**
The next thing I knew, I'd been
cursed with Lycagon's Mark.
**[07:07] Sunraku**
"Equipment cannot be equipped to the body
part afflicted with Lycagon's Mark."
**[07:11] Sunraku**
"Monsters of lower level than the
afflicted character will flee."
**[07:15] Sunraku**
"Conversations with NPCs will be affected
by the presence of Lycagon's Mark."
**[07:17] Sunraku**
"The afflicted body part gains
resistance to magic effects."
**[07:23] Sunraku**
"The curse can be removed
through the prayers of a Saint
**[07:26] Sunraku**
or the defeat of the curse's caster"...
**[07:29] Sunraku**
Yeah, I mean... I've been through
enough hell already, right?
**[07:34] Sunraku**
It's okay to turn to luck for help, right?!
**[07:40] Sunraku**
And that's when luck hit me!
**[07:42] Emul**
Righty-o!
**[07:43] Sunraku**
A super-duper-uber rare unique scenario!
**[07:46] Katzo**
Lucky dog. Lucky dog!
***SIGN*** Palace of
Rabituza
**[07:48] Emul**
Sunraku-san was the first-ever human
I brought to the Palace of Rabituza!
**[07:53] Emul**
He bravely challenged the Nightslayer alone,
**[07:56] Emul**
was acknowledged as a worthy opponent,
**[07:58] Emul**
and cursed in the process,
confirming the strength of his vorpal soul!
**[08:02] Emul**
This is why Dadd—
**[08:03] Emul**
er, why the boss permitted him an audience!
**[08:07] Pencilgon**
And that's when Vysache gave
you the Vorpal Soul Collar?
***SIGN*** Vorpal Soul Collar
acquired.
**[08:12] Katzo**
When equipped, it halves the
experience points you accrue...
**[08:15] sign**
While equipped, user receives half EXP
but gains 2.5x stat points
(rounded down) when leveling.
**[08:16] Sunraku**
...in exchange for a 2.5x modifier on
stat points received when you level up.
**[08:21] Emul**
It's proof that the boss
accepted you as an underling!
**[08:25] Vysache**
Extraordinary hardship is necessary
for the weak to grow stronger.
**[08:30] Vysache**
Never forget the vorpal soul.
**[08:34] Emul**
It suits you very well, Sunraku-san!
**[08:36] Sunraku**
But it wasn't long before all the
other players found out about Emul!
**[08:42] Emul**
Why did that happen?
**[08:43] Sunraku**
Because you're a damned chatterbox!
**[08:45] Emul**
Oh, dear...
**[08:46] Pencilgon**
That's right! And that's what
enabled me to see you again!
***SIGN*** Advanced Players Teach Beginners the Ropes #81
74: Add (Advanced)
Seriously, to unlock the elite jobs you've got to at least make it to Sixburg.
How many times do I have to tell people this?
Maybe we should put it on the FAQ.
75: Alinoiyu (Beginner)
I have a question for our esteemed elders. I was picking up equipment
in Secondale when I ran into this player. He had the cutest talking bunny
with him. How can I befriend this monster?
**[08:51] Katzo**
That's kinda scary.
***SIGN*** Thirdrema
**[08:54] Sunraku**
That's right. The moment Emul
and I arrived in Thirdrema...
**[08:58] Sunraku**
This max-level jackass attacked me!
**[09:01] Pencilgon**
What? Did you call me a goddess?!
**[09:03] Pencilgon**
Shucks, I'm blushing!
**[09:06] Pencilgon**
But it's important to check these
things in case they've changed.
**[09:08] Katzo**
Maybe see a doctor?
**[09:09] Sunraku**
Me and Katzo originally met Pencilgon in
a certain trash game as enemies, but...
***SIGN*** Item Shop
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[09:15] Pencilgon**
But now we're proud game companions, right?!
**[09:19] Sunraku**
Yeah, let's go with that.
**[09:21] Sunraku**
But here in* SLF*,
**[09:23] Sunraku**
you were second-in-command of the
player killer clan, the Ashura Kai,
**[09:26] Sunraku**
and you'd come to steal
info on my unique scenario.
**[09:30] Sunraku**
Four PKers.
**[09:32] Sunraku**
Bring it on!
**[09:34] Sunraku**
I mean, you've only got me beat
in level, equipment, and stats!
**[09:37] Pencilgon**
And right as I almost had you,
**[09:40] Pencilgon**
for some reason, the Attack Master,
Psyger-0 ended up joining the brawl.
**[09:44] Pencilgon**
Sunraku-kun, are you two
in-game friends or something?
**[09:46] Sunraku**
No, we were total strangers at the time...
**[09:52] Sunraku**
But that handy run-in let me
escape Pencilgon's wicked trap!
**[09:56] Sunraku**
Thanks a bunch, Psyger-0!
**[09:58] Emul**
You truly were our salvation!
**[10:01] Sunraku**
That's when I
**[10:03] Sunraku**
started up the unique scenario I'd
unlocked, "Invitation from Rabituza."
**[10:04] sign**
Spiral Edge
**[10:07] Sunraku**
I had to beat ten high-level
monsters each in a row.
***SIGN*** Practical Training Opponent 3
Goblin Berserker
***SIGN*** Defeated on
2nd try
***SIGN*** Practical Training Opponent 4
Dinoboar
***SIGN*** Defeated on
1st try
***SIGN*** Practical Training Opponent 5
Toxic Eagle
***SIGN*** Defeated on
112th try
***SIGN*** Practical Training Opponent 9
Beta Unit Golem S2
**[10:10] sign**
Defeated on
7th try
**[10:10] Sunraku**
It was a perfect level-up plan!
**[10:14] Emul**
Sunraku-san! You should
probably take a break!
***SIGN*** Menacing
**[10:18] Emul**
You have a great and
terrible look in your eyes!
**[10:21] Sunraku**
And the reward for all my mental
and physical tribulation was...
***SIGN*** Title
***SIGN*** Honorary Rabituzan
***SIGN*** acquired.
**[10:27] Emul**
Simply spectacular, Sunraku-san!
**[10:28] Emul**
Yay! Yay!
**[10:31] Pencilgon**
I see.
**[10:33] Pencilgon**
The play skills you've acquired
through all those trash games
**[10:37] Pencilgon**
let you excel very quickly here in* SLF*.
**[10:42] Pencilgon**
And then you inspired the pro gamer,
Katzo-kun, to join up, as well.
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
***SIGN*** Let's get up to some mischief!
From: Pencil Knight
To: Modor Katzo
**[10:49] Pencilgon**
The time had come to make a decision.
**[10:52] Pencilgon**
I called the two of them
to meet me in* Unite Rounds*,
**[10:55] Pencilgon**
the trash game we'd once fought in.
**[10:58] Pencilgon**
My decision—a little project
for just the three of us.
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
**[11:02] Emul**
And what was that great project?!
**[11:05] Emul**
Stay tuned until after the commercial to see!
**[11:14] Pencil Knight**
Hello, hello!
**[11:16] Pencil Knight**
Thank you both for coming today.
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
**[11:18] Pencil Knight**
When was the last time we were all
together here in *Unite Rounds*?
**[11:24] Pencil Knight**
Was it when you jackasses stormed my castle,
which had an eighty-player garrison?
**[11:31] Katzo Tataki**
Look, that was Sunraku's idea.
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
**[11:34] Katzo Tataki**
"Assassinating the monarch
sounds like a blast!" he said.
**[11:37] Sunraku**
You were just as down for it!
**[11:40] Katzo Tataki**
Hell yeah, I was.
**[11:41] Katzo Tataki**
And it freaking ruled!
**[11:43] Sunraku**
Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to end with her
**[11:46] Sunraku**
blowing up the castle and
all her retainers with it!
**[11:50] Katzo Tataki**
Yeah, the Pencil Dynasty Incident.
**[11:53] Katzo Tataki**
They'll be talking about that one 'til
the *Unite Rounds* servers shut down!
**[11:57] Sunraku**
Yeah.
**[11:58] Sunraku**
And she acts like it was just part
of her "live in the moment" attitude,
**[12:02] Sunraku**
but you can tell she's
still so pissed about it!
**[12:04] Sunraku**
She'll start making excuses even
when no one's brought it up—
**[12:09] Pencil Knight**
Now that we're all feeling nice and relaxed,
**[12:13] Pencil Knight**
do you mind if I get to the main topic?
**[12:15] Both**
Yes, ma'am!
**[12:16] Pencil Knight**
We don't have a lot of time,
**[12:18] Pencil Knight**
so I'll get right to the point.
**[12:22] Pencil Knight**
Want to take out the unique monster,
Wethermon the Tombguard,
**[12:26] Pencil Knight**
with just the three of us?
***SIGN*** Pencil Knight
**[12:35] Both**
Huh?! A unique monster?!
***SIGN*** The Seven Colossi
**[12:39] Sunraku**
One of the Seven Colossi—Wethermon
the Tombguard.
**[12:44] Sunraku**
I'd never heard of him before,
**[12:46] Sunraku**
but I had no doubt he was
just as tough as Lycagon.
**[12:51] Sunraku**
Katzo and I agreed to join her little plan.
**[12:57] Vysache**
I don't think I need to tell you
**[12:59] Vysache**
how weak you still are.
**[13:04] Sunraku**
This friend of mine says a
group of PKers—rather...
**[13:08] Sunraku**
a no-good band of killers is exploiting
Wethermon to make themselves stronger.
**[13:12] Sunraku**
They're using him as a tool.
**[13:18] Sunraku**
The mastermind of our upcoming raid
is technically part of that band,
**[13:22] Sunraku**
but she truly wants to defeat
Wethermon the Tombguard.
**[13:27] Sunraku**
She's gone to unthinkable lengths to do it.
**[13:30] Vysache**
No matter what lengths you go to,
**[13:32] Vysache**
if there's no chance of victory,
it's still a reckless move.
**[13:37] Vysache**
When did I say "vorpal soul" meant walking
straight into the mouth of death?
**[13:44] Sunraku**
Not one of us would go into a
fight with the intention to lose.
**[13:50] Sunraku**
"We only get one chance at this."
**[13:52] Sunraku**
"Win or lose, this is our last shot."
**[13:55] Sunraku**
Those are the words my friend
came to me with, and so...
**[13:59] Sunraku**
I feel honor-bound to offer my aid.
**[14:10] Vysache**
Honor-bound, eh?
**[14:14] Vysache**
He's an awkward one, you see.
**[14:18] Sunraku**
*He's talking about Wethermon?*
**[14:20] Vysache**
Serious to a fault,
never knows when to let up...
**[14:24] Vysache**
He lost his wife to a lousy little lie,
**[14:28] Vysache**
and ended up with that undying body of his.
**[14:34] Vysache**
He's a living corpse,
unable to even put himself to rest.
**[14:39] Vysache**
And so...
**[14:42] Vysache**
Someone has to take him down and
bring him that well-earned slumber.
**[14:50] Emul**
The boss was so moved by
Sunraku-san's passion,
**[14:52] Emul**
that he agreed to ascend
Sunraku-san's Vorpal Choppers!
**[14:56] Emul**
It was super-turbo-hyper-awesomely
invigorating!
**[14:59] Emul**
What a pity that time limitations prevent
us from showing you the entirety of it!
**[15:03] Emul**
Make sure to rewatch episode 11 right away!
**[15:07] Sunraku**
Emul-san... that is,
perhaps, a bit overboard.
**[15:10] Vysache**
The Vorpal Chopper has taken
its true name and form.
**[15:15] Vysache**
Its name...
**[15:17] Vysache**
Moonblade (Waxing)
and Moonblade (Waning).
***SIGN*** Moonblade (Waxing)
A twinblade with a crescent-shaped blade.
***SIGN*** Moonblade (Waning)
A twinblade with a crescent-shaped blade.
**[15:21] Sunraku**
A twin weapon?!
**[15:23] Vysache**
One blade in the form of two.
**[15:25] Vysache**
Each needs the other to have meaning.
**[15:32] Sunraku**
Let's equip these babies
and give 'em a whirl!
***SIGN*** Cannot be wielded due to
failure to meet stat requirements.
**[15:37] Sunraku**
I need to be level 50 to use 'em?!
**[15:40] Vysache**
Well, guess you need to toughen
up a bit more to use 'em.
**[15:52] Sunraku**
We'd only get one chance at that duel—
**[15:54] Sunraku**
The night of the new moon when
the major update takes place!
**[15:57] Sunraku**
We had to get our levels
to at least 50 by then!
***SIGN*** Tearlight Lake
**[16:01] Katzo**
So we got to grinding levels, but...
**[16:05] Katzo**
That's when I realized our wee li'l
Sunraku-kun had made a big boo-boo!
**[16:09] Sunraku**
Wait... what?!
**[16:10] Emul**
Regarding the combination of skills!
**[16:19] Sunraku**
Combine?
***SIGN*** Combine...
**[16:20] Oikatzo**
Remember the tutorial in Firstia,
the starting town?!
**[16:24] Sunraku**
Firstia? Never went.
***SIGN*** Fighter-type Skill
Power Direct Lv. 5
***SIGN*** Critical-enhancement Skill
Critical Assist Lv. 3
**[16:29] Oikatzo**
Skills with proficiency
levels can be linked up
**[16:31] Oikatzo**
at a facility called the Skill Garden.
***SIGN*** Link
**[16:35] Oikatzo**
That lets you create new "combo skills"!
***SIGN*** Chance of KO effect
on critical hit
Knockout
**[16:41] Emul**
Sunraku-san! Are you all right?
**[16:44] Oikatzo**
Don't tell me... you don't even
know about sub-jobs and guilds?
***SIGN*** Sub-jobs
***SIGN*** Guilds
**[16:50] Sunraku**
How much did I miss by
skipping one little town?!
**[16:53] Emul**
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[16:59] Pencilgon**
That's a lot of progress
in pretty a short time.
**[17:02] Pencilgon**
You could even afford to slow down a bit...
**[17:05] Pencilgon**
What got into you?
**[17:06] Oikatzo**
Actually, turns out Sunraku
skipped the tutori—
**[17:11] Oikatzo**
Fine, fine. I won't tell her.
**[17:15] Sunraku**
That night, we visited a time-restricted
hidden area in the Prismatic Forest Grotto
**[17:23] Sunraku**
that Pencilgon had stumbled
on a while back by accident.
**[17:27] Pencilgon**
Hey, Set-chan!
**[17:28] Pencilgon**
It's been a whole month.
**[17:30] Setsuna**
Oh, Arthur. It's been a while.
***SIGN*** Setsuna of Bygone Days
**[17:35] Pencilgon**
In order to fight Wethermon the Tombguard,
we first had to speak with her.
**[17:42] Setsuna**
He... Wethermon was my dearest love.
**[17:46] Setsuna**
We had a minor misunderstanding,
and I died, and...
**[17:50] Setsuna**
He's spent all the time since...
**[17:53] Setsuna**
All the time since... guarding my grave.
**[17:56] Sunraku**
Your grave?
**[17:58] Oikatzo**
Hence "Tombguard," eh?
**[18:00] Setsuna**
I don't know how much time
has passed since my death,
**[18:05] Setsuna**
but the next thing I knew,
I was in this state.
**[18:13] Setsuna**
I can't stand knowing that he
remains tied down by my past.
**[18:19] Setsuna**
He used a program—
**[18:22] Setsuna**
a spell that I wrote,
to create a barrier here.
**[18:26] Sunraku**
She used a kind of anachronistic
word just now...
**[18:31] Setsuna**
By using the mana that
dwells within moonlight
**[18:33] Setsuna**
and inverting the coordinates to
the underside of the dimension
**[18:36] Setsuna**
he's made it impossible for
anyone to reach that location.
**[18:40] Setsuna**
But on the night of a new moon...
when the moon loses all its light...
**[18:44] Setsuna**
A crack forms
**[18:45] Setsuna**
in the barrier preventing access to the
underside coordinates where he waits.
**[18:49] Oikatzo**
So we gotta jump through
the crack and fight him?
**[18:52] Setsuna**
Please put Wethermon...
**[18:54] Setsuna**
Please put my love to rest.
**[19:03] Pencilgon**
Leave it to us, Set-chan.
**[19:05] Pencilgon**
We're not like the bunglers
who've tried it in the past.
**[19:08] Pencilgon**
If that jerk is making you suffer,
**[19:10] Pencilgon**
we'll put him six feet under!
**[19:15] Sunraku**
Did you hear that?
**[19:16] Oikatzo**
Is that the Pencilgon we know?
**[19:18] Sunraku**
The one who, in *Unite Rounds*,
dragged an NPC king along behind her carriage
**[19:22] Sunraku**
to try to lure in enemies!
**[19:25] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Yahoo!
**[19:27] Oikatzo**
The Pencil Knight who tied an
NPC princess to the chandelier
**[19:31] Oikatzo**
to bait players into trying to rescue her!
**[19:36] Sunraku**
She's having a pleasant chat with an NPC?!
**[19:38] Sunraku**
Has she regained some
sliver of her humanity?!
**[19:41] Oikatzo**
What is... this feeling? Is this... a soul?
**[19:54] Pencilgon**
Look, sometimes even I like to
play it straight with an NPC.
**[19:59] Pencilgon**
With her name being Setsuna, and her
backstory... it just got me invested.
**[20:07] Pencilgon**
Okay, look, fine!
**[20:09] Pencilgon**
I can get emotionally invested in
a game now and then, too, okay?!
**[20:14] Sunraku**
Hey, that's fine by me.
**[20:17] Sunraku**
Getting serious about a
game is a great thing.
**[20:21] Sunraku**
Everything's more fun when
you take it dead serious!
**[20:25] Oikatzo**
That's right!
**[20:26] Oikatzo**
Taking your playtime seriously
is what makes it fun.
**[20:29] Oikatzo**
Of course, that's also the
job for a pro gamer like me.
**[20:34] Sunraku**
Wait. You're a pro,
you're taking the game seriously,
**[20:36] Sunraku**
and you haven't even found a single
unique thing for yourself?!
**[20:40] Oikatzo**
Okay, now you've done it!
**[20:42] Oikatzo**
I'm gonna tear those feathers off your head
**[20:43] Oikatzo**
and give you a head covered in goosebumps!
**[20:45] Sunraku**
Katzo, stop! One more hit and I'm dead!
**[20:48] Emul**
Please, cease your fighting at once!
**[20:52] Emul**
Stop it!
**[20:56] Pencilgon**
Oh, right, I forgot!
**[20:59] Pencilgon**
You guys are as stupid as I am!
**[21:10] Pencilgon**
We're facing a unique monster which
forces a 150 level handicap—
**[21:13] Pencilgon**
something unprecedented
in boss battle history—
**[21:18] Pencilgon**
Wethermon the Tombguard.
**[21:20] Pencilgon**
But I know we can do this!
**[21:23] Pencilgon**
Let's take this seriously and win!
**[21:25] Both**
Right!
**[21:41] Sunraku**
Next episode starts the
fight against Wethermon!
**[21:44] Sunraku**
Build up that hype, everyone!
**[21:46] Psyger-0**
Is this where we're meeting
for the... recap episode?
**[21:51] Sunraku**
P-Psyger-0?!
**[21:52] Psyger-0**
A-As Sunraku-san's in-game friend,
**[21:55] Psyger-0**
I th-thought I should help w-with the recap...
**[21:58] Emul**
I fear we've already reached the ending!
**[22:00] Psyger-0**
D-Did you have anything
on my various exploits,
**[22:05] Psyger-0**
o-or the show's... love interest?
**[22:08] Katzo**
Love interest? We got one of those?
**[22:10] Rei**
I thought I'd get a chance to
speak with Hizutome-kun at last...
**[22:14] Rei**
But next week is the major update!
**[22:17] Rei**
Will it be a chance for
us to explore together?!
**[22:20] Psyger-0**
S-Sunraku-san... next week,
would you like to—
**[22:23] Pencilgon**
Okay, next time starts the big battle
with Wethermon the Tombguard!
**[22:28] Emul**
Look forward to it, yes indeed!
**[22:28] Katzo**
Look forward to it!
**[22:29] Psyger-0**
W-Wait!
**[22:31] Sunraku**
You idiots! Let the main
character have the last word!
***SIGN*** Next time: Episode 15
**[22:38] Pencilgon**
All right. Let's begin.
**[22:42] Psyger-100**
The Ashura Kai meets its end this night.
**[22:46] Psyger-100**
Suffer the fate that awaits all evildoers!
**[22:53] Pencilgon**
Setsuna. I will...
**[22:56] Pencilgon**
No, we will make your wish come true.

**[02:11] NPC Shopkeep**
Thank you for coming!
**[02:18] Knights Tempura A**
Huh? Sold out?
**[02:21] Knights Tempura B**
Here, too?
**[02:23] Knights Tempura B**
Fourfolkshire and Sixenveldt
were picked clean, too.
**[02:27] Knights Tempura A**
How it is possible for so many
expensive items to get bought out?
**[02:30] Knights Tempura A**
What's going on here?
**[02:31] Knights Tempura B**
I don't know,
**[02:33] Knights Tempura B**
but our leader ordered us to buy as
many resurrection items as we could.
**[02:37] Knights Tempura B**
We'll have to search the other towns.
**[02:39] Knights Tempura A**
Our leader's in a meeting with other
clan leaders right now, right?
**[02:44] Knights Tempura A**
You think we're running some
kind of clan co-op raid?
**[02:47] Knights Tempura A**
Against an enemy powerful enough that
we need resurrection items for it?
**[02:51] Knights Tempura B**
What could it possibly be?
**[02:54] Knights Tempura A**
Dunno.
**[02:57] Narrator**
On the day of* Shangri-La
Frontier*'s major update,
**[03:00] Narrator**
with many in its player base breathlessly
excited about what was to come,
**[03:04] Narrator**
another plan was moving into motion.
**[03:07] Mia**
Hey, Reiji-kun.
**[03:08] Mia**
What's changed in the major update?
**[03:11] Reiji**
A new area got unlocked,
**[03:14] Reiji**
a new scenario and job got added,
**[03:16] Reiji**
there's balance adjustments
to some monster stats...
**[03:18] Reiji**
Then there're tweaks to things
**[03:19] Reiji**
like how often your luck triggers
the "Endure" condition and stuff...
**[03:23] Mia**
You think they added new weapons, too?!
**[03:26] Reiji**
S-Sure, probably!
**[03:28] Mia**
I'd love a bigger, stronger one!
**[03:31] Reiji**
How about we check in at a weapon shop, then?
**[03:34] Mia**
Yeah!
**[03:35] Reiji**
Then, if you like, we can scope out
all the new changes for ourselves
**[03:40] Reiji**
by going on an adventure together...
**[03:42] Mia**
A monster!
**[03:48] Reiji**
M-Mia! Monsters don't spawn in towns!
**[03:51] Mia**
But I heard a weird voice!
**[03:53] Reiji**
Just put your weapon away!
**[03:55] Mia**
But I know I heard a monster's voice!

Others were breathless for
very different reasons.

**[08:48] Emul**
I mean, the boss brought
it back for me one time.
**[08:50] Emul**
I had it made into a necklace.
**[08:52] Emul**
It's like an amulet of protection!
**[08:54] Sunraku**
An amulet, huh?
**[08:56] Sunraku**
Not that we'll need one to own this fight.

Yeah, a friend of mine in the US

**[18:31] Sunraku**
I see through your little trick, dumbass!
**[18:40] Pencilgon**
He really grasped the
timing on the first try.
***SIGN*** Known Wethermon Info
When the battle begins, a badstat(?) field gimmick(?)
is applied to all players.
Levels will be reduced and equipment with level requirements
will be force-unequippable. (Demonstrably, armor will feel
unusually heavy and hard to move in,
weapons will fly from hands.) Normal attacks can generally
be dodged by attentive players, but one hit will even kill
most tanks, so be careful!!
Most annoying is the frequency with which he uses his
finishing move (which he always announces — telegraphing?).
How to deal with his mecha-steed remains unclear.
Slashes and magic attacks don't seem to deal damage, and if you let it be
**[18:45] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
"Wind Slash."
**[18:46] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
A quickdraw move believed to
have single-frame execution.
***SIGN*** Katzo Tataki
**[18:49] Katzo Tataki**
That's pretty darn fast.
**[18:51] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
It has a guard-pierce effect,
**[18:54] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
so you either need to see
it coming and evade,
**[18:55] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
or counter it.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Katzo Tataki**
So, grasp the timing on the first try?
**[18:57] sign**
Pencil Knight
**[19:01] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Easier said than done.
**[19:03] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
And he's got a whole bag
of even nastier skills,
**[19:05] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
so that's a thing to look forward to.
**[19:07] (Flashback) Katzo Tataki**
A constant barrage of insta-kill
attacks at a 150 level handicap?
**[19:11] (Flashback) Katzo Tataki**
Sounds like you'd really need to pull out
all the stops for an opponent like that.
**[19:18] (Flashback) Sunraku**
So it sounds like...
**[19:19] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Right.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
Wethermon is likely a
"special condition" type.
**[19:24] Narrator**
A "special condition" type.
**[19:26] Narrator**
An enemy you beat not by
reducing their HP to zero,
**[19:29] Narrator**
but by achieving a particular condition.
**[19:32] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Possibilities that come to mind...
**[19:34] (Flashback) Sunraku**
"Pick up or destroy a
particular in-game object."
**[19:37] (Flashback) Sunraku**
"Last a certain length of time."
**[19:39] (Flashback) Sunraku**
"Survive a particular attack."
**[19:41] (Flashback) Sunraku**
You occasionally see "reason with
him in the middle of battle," too.
**[19:45] (Flashback) Katzo Tataki**
Any idea on what the condition is?
**[19:47] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
I've tried a few different things,
**[19:50] (Flashback) Pencil Knight**
and I think it's "Last a
certain length of time."
**[19:52] Pencilgon**
*We'll proceed under that assumption.*
**[19:56] Pencilgon**
* Wethermon the Tombguard's combat*
* conditions change as time passes.*
**[20:07] Pencilgon**
* First, we need to survive*
* the ten minutes of Phase 1.*
**[20:28] Pencilgon**
*You'll be the key to that, Sunraku-kun.*
**[20:39] Pencilgon**
* Someone with skills*
* on par with a pro gamer*
**[20:42] Pencilgon**
* can surely figure out the*
* way through his attacks!*
**[20:45] Oikatzo**
The motion when he executes "Wind Slash"
is a swing down from the right-hand side,
**[20:49] Oikatzo**
then slashes horizontally with both hands,
**[20:50] Oikatzo**
followed by a strike on a
delay or an upward slash...
**[20:54] Pencilgon**
*Yes. With these two at my side...*

**[02:12] Pencilgon**
Bingo!
**[02:13] Pencilgon**
I canceled his field attack!
**[02:28] Sunraku**
Guess he didn't appreciate getting
splooshed with the saint's special water.
**[02:32] Pencilgon**
Hey, can you not make it gross?
**[02:35] Pencilgon**
The saint is like the idol of the *SLF* world.
**[02:38] Oikatzo**
Hey, what's going on with Wethermon?
**[02:49] Oikatzo**
H-H-Hey!
**[03:08] Oikatzo**
I-I think that thing just transformed!
**[03:11] Pencilgon**
What in the world is that thing?!
**[03:13] Sunraku**
I dunno,
**[03:15] Sunraku**
but I'm betting we don't wanna
let it combine with Wethermon, either!
**[03:19] Pencilgon**
An exclusive new form for stage 3?
**[03:24] Oikatzo**
Wh-What the hell do we do now?!
**[03:27] Sunraku**
A new form calls for a new approach.
**[03:30] Sunraku**
Pencilgon, go help Katzo!
**[03:36] Sunraku**
Wethermon's body has started
gradually crumbling.
**[03:41] Sunraku**
For phases 1 and 2,
we had to hold out ten minutes.
**[03:44] Sunraku**
Maybe for phase 3, we have
to hold out until he falls apart.
**[03:49] Pencilgon**
I'd say this all but confirms the
"time passes" victory condition.
**[03:55] Pencilgon**
Given how it's gone up until now,
I'm betting it's ten minutes more—
**[03:59] Pencilgon**
That's our final time limit!
**[04:03] Sunraku**
Leave this to me.
**[04:04] Sunraku**
I'll survive ten minutes, no problem.
**[04:10] Pencilgon**
All right.
**[04:12] Pencilgon**
Just... don't get too reckless.
**[04:15] Pencilgon**
Until I can get back to acting as support,
**[04:18] Pencilgon**
one death could spell the end for you.
**[04:20] Pencilgon**
I'm leaving this to you, Sunraku-kun.
**[04:25] Sunraku**
Sure thing.
**[04:31] Sunraku**
*Sorry, Pencilgon.*
**[04:33] Sunraku**
* Ever since you mentioned the thing about*
* hanging in there through the time limit,*
**[04:39] Sunraku**
*I've been thinking...*
**[04:44] Sunraku**
*Where the hell is the fun in that?*
**[04:50] Sunraku**
* A boss where you just turtle up*
* for thirty minutes straight...*
**[04:54] Sunraku**
*What kind of game would that be?*
**[04:57] Sunraku**
* I'll say it flat-out—one*
* that's boring as shit.*
**[05:01] Sunraku**
*Game design that puts the story first?*
**[05:04] Sunraku**
*I've played tons of games like that...*
**[05:07] Sunraku**
* Games that go for a balance between*
* the fiction and the gameplay and fail*
**[05:11] Sunraku**

*But* Shangri-La Frontier*...*
**[05:18] Sunraku**
*You're supposed to be a god-tier game!*
**[05:27] Sunraku**
*Yeah, thought so.*
**[05:29] Sunraku**
* It popped into my head when I*
* saw that holy water attack...*
**[05:31] Sunraku**
*In the state he's in now,*
**[05:33] Sunraku**
*he might just take damage!*

**[06:04] Sunraku**
Before you get a chance to fall apart,
I'm gonna beat you down...
**[06:08] Sunraku**
Wethermon the Tombguard!
**[06:20] Sunraku**
Pretty awesome, huh?
**[06:21] Sunraku**
I practiced the helmet parry a ton.
**[06:25] Sunraku**
"But why parry with a helmet," you ask?
**[06:28] Sunraku**
'Cause if you can parry with your head...
**[06:31] Sunraku**
it leaves your hands free!
**[06:35] Wethermon**
Wind Slash!
**[06:41] Sunraku**
Damn it!
**[06:43] Sunraku**
That one did deal damage, right?
**[06:45] Sunraku**
I landed a damn critical,
and he's not even fazed...
**[06:50] Sunraku**
I didn't go as hard as Pencilgon,
**[06:52] Sunraku**
but I still dropped a ton
of cash on you, got it?
**[06:56] Sunraku**
That money-grubbing bunny...
**[06:58] Sunraku**
I'm gonna use the 80,000 mahni I paid
her to rub your face into the dirt!

If "scars on the back are a swordsman's
greatest shame," then sorry...
**[07:59] Sunraku**
I'm about to deal you a whole lot of shame.
**[08:08] Pencilgon**
How did I just know he'd end up in a brawl?
**[08:15] Oikatzo**
He's cackling like a madman over there!
**[08:18] Oikatzo**
Is that guy okay?!
**[08:20] Pencilgon**
I guess as long as the
cackling goes on, he's fine.
**[08:24] Pencilgon**
The bigger of an underdog Sunraku-kun is,
**[08:26] Pencilgon**
the more his motivation
and player skill spike.
**[08:31] Pencilgon**
But...
**[08:33] Pencilgon**
If we can't hold this thing in place,
**[08:35] Pencilgon**
he'll still end up an unwinnable fight.
**[08:48] Oikatzo**
I tried punching it a few times,
**[08:51] Oikatzo**
and it's looking like
it'll take damage now!
**[08:54] Oikatzo**
Still tough as hell, though...
**[08:58] Pencilgon**
Okay, look.
**[08:59] Pencilgon**
It's not worth sticking out
our necks to beat this thing.
**[09:02] Pencilgon**
Staying alive and drawing
Kirin's aggro from Sunraku-kun
**[09:05] Pencilgon**
is enough to earn us a passing grade.
**[09:09] Oikatzo**
A passing grade, sure.
**[09:12] Oikatzo**
But...

Whip Puppet: Snake!

***SIGN*** Divine Lifesalve

Okay, maybe not.
**[09:52] Oikatzo**
I didn't leave a dent!
***SIGN*** Evil Force
**[09:55] Oikatzo**
What's this?
**[09:57] Pencilgon**
Evil Force.
**[09:58] Pencilgon**
It increases the user's
stats for fifteen minutes!
**[10:01] Pencilgon**
Even in your current state,
**[10:04] Pencilgon**
it should give you abilities
on par with level 99 or so!
**[10:10] Oikatzo**
Level 99?!
**[10:12] Oikatzo**
That's a god-tier item!
**[10:14] Oikatzo**
Why didn't you whip this
awesome thing out earlier?!
**[10:18] Pencilgon**
Using it comes with a serious penalty.
**[10:20] Pencilgon**
I've used it before, and it
was a pretty rough time...
**[10:25] Oikatzo**
Penalty?
**[10:26] Pencilgon**
I'll admit, I'm getting tired
of this one-sided fight, too...
**[10:31] Pencilgon**
You said you want a perfect score, right?
**[10:33] Pencilgon**
So I'm sure you're prepared for the risk—
**[10:38] Oikatzo**
A penalty?
**[10:40] Oikatzo**
Sounds fine to me.
**[10:44] Oikatzo**
I'm gonna turn you to scrap
and get a big old A-plus!
**[10:53] Oikatzo**
H-Huh? Why's everything
suddenly in photo-negative?
**[10:57] Oikatzo**
I feel like my hearing's gone fuzzy, too...
**[10:59] Pencilgon**
It's probably screwing with your
sense of smell and taste, too!
**[11:03] Oikatzo**
Is this the "penalty"?
**[11:05] Oikatzo**
Well, it does feel a little weird,
**[11:07] Oikatzo**
but it's not nearly as bad as I expected!
**[11:09] Pencilgon**
Actually... that's not the bad part.
**[11:13] Pencilgon**
Every thirty seconds,
your level decreases by one.
**[11:20] Oikatzo**
Huh?
**[11:23] Oikatzo**
Huh? My level goes down?!
**[11:26] Oikatzo**
Th-This thing lasts fifteen minutes!
**[11:29] Oikatzo**
Does it stick around after the battle, too?!
**[11:31] Pencilgon**
Yeah.
**[11:32] Pencilgon**
I've used it myself, and the
sense of loss was palpable.
**[11:38] Oikatzo**
If it's every thirty seconds...
**[11:41] Oikatzo**
For fifteen minutes... I lose thirty levels?!
**[11:44] Oikatzo**
So when the fight's over,
I'll have to start back from level 20?!
**[11:48] Oikatzo**
Why didn't you say that sooner?!
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
**[11:52] Oikatzo**
Ah, it went down...
**[11:53] Pencilgon**
You ate it before I could!
**[11:56] Pencilgon**
Oh, and I'll use my remaining Scale
points to boost my own stats!
**[12:00] Oikatzo**
Hey!
**[12:02] Pencilgon**
Still, I can't believe you chewed it.
**[12:05] Pencilgon**
I know it's just flavor text stuff in a game,
**[12:08] Pencilgon**
but I learned what those are made of,
**[12:09] Pencilgon**
and I haven't been able
to stomach one since...
**[12:13] Oikatzo**
What the hell did you let me eat?!
**[12:19] Oikatzo**
Okay, now I'm pissed!
**[12:21] Oikatzo**
You're gonna be my punching

**[13:33] Pencilgon**
Sheesh...
**[13:34] Pencilgon**
I wish you'd be clearer about
when your stagger phase ends!
**[13:39] Oikatzo**
I guess we'll need more than stat
boosts to make a breakthrough here.
**[13:44] Oikatzo**
Its armor seems thickest around the waist.
**[13:47] Oikatzo**
That's probably where all the
important bits are stored...
**[13:50] Oikatzo**
But how the heck do we
go about prying it open?
**[14:10] Sunraku**
Okay!
**[14:11] Sunraku**
I think I've got the hang of
the head-parry-slash combo.
**[14:18] Sunraku**

I thought maybe you'd changed things up,
**[18:23] Sunraku**
but a standard Wind Slash—

Thunderclap.
**[18:26] Sunraku**
Not a second's break between them?!

**[24:26] Rei**
It just happened that, miraculously,
**[24:28] Rei**
the planets aligned such that I happened
to catch sight of Hizutome-kun...
**[24:32] Rei**
Then, a series of coincidences
**[24:34] Rei**
ended up with me happening to
come this way a few times...
**[24:37] Rei**
And it happened enough times that
**[24:39] Rei**
I ended up happening to catch sight of
Hizutome-kun a few different times...
**[24:42] Rei**
And from those coincidental
sightings, I coincidentally...
**[24:45] Rei**
I mean, it really was a
coincidence that I happened to
**[24:47] Rei**
realize that he tended to
come by this way a lot...
**[24:49] Rei**
I mean, it wasn't on purpose at all.
**[24:51] Rei**
It was just a little curiosity...
**[24:53] Rei**
Well, I guess "curiosity" is
a rude way of putting it...
**[24:56] Rei**
Forget I said that.
**[24:57] Rei**
Well, with all the information I had,
I kind of put it together...
**[25:01] Rei**
I mean, it really wasn't on purpose!
**[25:02] Rei**
I mean it!
**[25:03] Rei**
But in the end, I did kind of find
out where Hizutome-kun lived...
**[25:08] Rei**
Um, that is...
**[25:10] Narrator**
As she speaks on with the
force of a raging bonfire,
**[25:16] Narrator**
there is embarrassment in her voice,
combined with a strange sense of hope.
**[25:23] Narrator**
After having a brief breakfast at home,
**[25:26] Narrator**
Ms. Rei Saiga arrives at a certain corner.
**[25:28] Narrator**
But her eyes are unfocused and hesitant.
***SIGN*** What are you doing?
**[25:35] Rei**
Well... it's just, well...
**[25:38] Rei**
Maybe I... you know...
might not be brave enough to...
**[25:45] Narrator**
Touching her pinkened—no, reddened—cheek,
**[25:49] Narrator**
Ms. Rei Saiga stares around the corner.
**[25:52] Rei**
Hizutome-kun generally passes this way
between eight o'clock and ten-after.
**[26:00] Rei**
He sometimes comes running
at twenty-after, too, but...
**[26:04] Rei**
I-It's him!
**[26:07] Narrator**
Love — it is that which fuels courage.
**[26:11] Narrator**
Ms. Rei Saiga hides behind the wall,
**[26:14] Narrator**
but as the high schooler
passes by in front of her,
**[26:19] Narrator**
she reaches out her hand, and speaks...
**[26:24] Mana**
So, as you were about to talk to him,
**[26:27] Mana**
you caught sight of a middle-school
girl running alongside him,
**[26:30] Mana**
and you hid?
**[26:33] Mana**
That was probably his sister, you know.
**[26:37] Rei**
Yes, probably...
**[26:40] Mana**
At this rate, you might graduate
before you ever talk to him!

**[00:05] Emul**
Sunraku-san... still hasn't returned.
**[00:16] Emul**
Which means... he's still fighting.
**[00:22] Emul**
Sunraku-san!
**[01:59] Oikatzo**
I guess we'll need more than stat
boosts to make a breakthrough here.
**[02:04] Oikatzo**
Its armor seems thickest around the waist.
**[02:07] Oikatzo**
That's probably where all the
important bits are stored...
**[02:10] Oikatzo**
But how the heck do we
go about prying it open?
***SIGN*** Putting Feelings Into a Moment, Part 4
**[02:17] Pencilgon**
I've got an idea.
**[02:19] Pencilgon**
Are you in?
**[02:20] Oikatzo**
An idea?
**[02:22] Pencilgon**
A sure-fire plan to break through
Kirin Armor's outer shell.
**[02:25] Pencilgon**
I call it...
**[02:27] Wethermon**
Clear Sky Conquest.
**[02:30] Wethermon**
That which can cleave even dragons...
**[02:36] Wethermon**
Sky Clear!
**[02:36] sign**
Sky Clear
**[02:49] Sunraku**
*What the heck was that?*
**[02:51] Sunraku**
*"Sky Clear," he called it, I guess...*
**[02:55] Sunraku**
*But this move is...*
**[02:58] Sunraku**
*way too nasty.*
**[03:05] Oikatzo**
Will it reach?!
**[03:07] Pencilgon**
Wait!
**[03:16] Sunraku**
*But it's like I told you...*
**[03:20] Sunraku**
*It's gonna take more than that to beat me!*
***SIGN*** Rebirth Tearjewel
**[03:31] Sunraku**
My ultimate technique, the self-revive!
**[03:35] Sunraku**
* It was a huge gamble, but I managed to*
* time it just right to revive myself!*
**[03:39] Sunraku**
*Still, my equipment's not so lucky...*
**[03:41] Sunraku**
*My Spiked Battlehelm is half trashed.*
**[03:43] Sunraku**
*My Lifestide Sash is totally kaput.*
**[03:46] Sunraku**
*That "Clear Sky" move*
**[03:49] Sunraku**
*is nasty.*
**[03:55] Sunraku**
* So it's got equipment-destroying*
* and armor-piercing effects...*
**[03:58] Sunraku**
*Maybe the Insta-Death effect, too?*
**[04:02] Wethermon**
But...
**[04:05] Wethermon**
Until you surpass my ultimate,
**[04:07] Wethermon**
I shall not fall.
**[04:11] Sunraku**
*That stance again!*
**[04:13] Wethermon**
Clear Sky Conquest...
**[04:15] Wethermon**
Thunderclap!
**[04:18] Sunraku**
*Hang on a damn minute!*
**[04:20] Sunraku**
*We're back to the attack spam?!*
**[04:25] Wethermon**
Wind Slash.
**[04:27] Wethermon**
Wind Slash.
**[04:29] Wethermon**
Wind Slash.
**[04:31] Sunraku**
*Too damn close!*
**[04:34] Sunraku**
I get it.
**[04:35] Sunraku**
* That chain of attacks and*
* the final Sky Clear move...*
**[04:38] Sunraku**
* All of it together makes*
* up "Clear Sky Conquest."*
**[04:42] Sunraku**
*So... how do I solve it?*
**[04:44] sign**
Sky Clear
**[04:45] Sunraku**
* Last time, it took about thirty*
* seconds before the Sky Clear hit me.*
**[04:50] Wethermon**
Pyroclastic Wyrm.
**[04:53] Sunraku**
* There's lag time before*
* Pyroclastic Wyrm activates.*
**[04:55] Sunraku**
*That one's not a huge threat.*
**[04:58] Wethermon**
Ash Blizzard.
**[05:02] Sunraku**
*Same with Ash Blizzard.*
**[05:04] Sunraku**
*It's easy to dodge when I know it's coming!*
**[05:08] Wethermon**
Tidal Rush.
**[05:10] Sunraku**
* The moves he uses in Clear Sky*
* Conquest might be chosen at random,*
**[05:14] Sunraku**
* but the actual dodging*
* is a memorization game!*
**[05:16] Wethermon**
Wind Slash.
**[05:18] Sunraku**
*Given all the moves in his arsenal,*
**[05:21] Sunraku**
*the go-to strategy is to*
**[05:22] Sunraku**
* preserve stamina and keep about*
* three meters from him at all times.*
**[05:26] Wethermon**
Thunderclap.
**[05:28] Sunraku**
*Keep your movements to the bare minimum.*
**[05:31] Sunraku**
*This isn't so scary once you get used to it.*
**[05:35] Sunraku**
*He got my leg again!*

**[05:38] Sunraku**
*It's thirty seconds, for sure.*
**[05:42] Sunraku**
*Now, here's the real challenge...*
**[05:43] sign**
Sky Clear
**[05:43] Wethermon**
Sky Clear!
**[05:46] Sunraku**
* He's killed me plenty of times before,*
* but this one feels different.*
**[05:49] Sunraku**
*It's more fundamentally...*
**[05:51] Sunraku**
* an insta-kill attack, meant to slaughter*
* the player without you getting a say.*
**[06:04] Sunraku**
*I'll bet...*
**[06:06] Sunraku**
* Even if a level 99 player buffed*
* their defenses with full armor*
**[06:10] Sunraku**
*and a shield at the ready,*
**[06:12] Sunraku**
* he'd still split them in*
* half like a block of tofu.*
**[06:16] Wethermon**
Until you surpass my ultimate,
**[06:19] Wethermon**
I shall not fall.
**[06:22] Wethermon**
Clear Sky Conquest!
**[06:31] Sunraku**
* And the worst part of all is*
* that he keeps you from dodging!*
**[06:35] Sunraku**
*Once you're rooted to the spot like that,*
**[06:38] Sunraku**
* you don't have a choice but*
* to soak his Sky Clear attack.*
**[06:42] Wethermon**
Sky Clear!
**[06:44] Sunraku**
*Destroy his sword?*
**[06:46] Sunraku**
* No, that's not a realistic option when*
* you're dodging the attack spam...*
**[06:51] Sunraku**
*Same with taking down the guy himself.*
***SIGN*** Use Items

**[06:58] Sunraku**
*That was my last Rebirth Tearjewel.*
**[07:01] Sunraku**
*All I've got left are five Divine Lifesalves.*
**[07:04] Sunraku**
*If the Sky Clear comes every thirty seconds,*
**[07:06] Sunraku**
* that means I've got three*
* minutes left to live.*
**[07:09] Sunraku**
* It's been less than five*
* minutes since Phase 3 started.*
**[07:12] Sunraku**
*I won't make it to ten.*
**[07:14] Wethermon**
Until you surpass my ultimate,
**[07:17] Wethermon**
I shall not fall.
**[07:20] Sunraku**
*Until I "surpass" it... he won't fall?*
**[07:25] Wethermon**
Clear Sky Conquest.
**[07:27] Wethermon**
Wind Slash!
**[07:32] Wethermon**
Thunderclap!
**[07:35] Sunraku**
* But then, the "survive ten minutes"*
* thing was just a theory from the start.*
**[07:39] Sunraku**
* Right now, I'm thinking "survive the Clear*
* Sky Conquest" is a more likely scenario.*
**[07:49] Wethermon**
Sky Clear!
**[07:52] Sunraku**
* Solving the Sky Clear must be the*
* victory condition against Wethermon!*
**[07:58] Sunraku**
* And the key to doing that*
* has gotta be to parry.*
**[08:03] Sunraku**
*Against an opponent of Wethermon's caliber,*
**[08:05] Sunraku**
* you'd need to deflect with*
* the timing of a critical...*
**[08:08] Sunraku**
*You've gotta do it while rooted to one spot,*
**[08:10] Sunraku**
* in a state where you can't*
* make any stance adjustments.*
**[08:14] Sunraku**
* If you get the timing off by a millisecond,*
* he'll shatter your weapon.*
**[08:18] Sunraku**
*Still, it's the only way to win.*
***SIGN*** Climax Boost
***SIGN*** Hunger Wolf
***SIGN*** Vorpal Blade Tech
**[08:22] Sunraku**
* My job right now is to work out*
* what I need in that final moment,*
**[08:25] Sunraku**
*and make sure I have it at my disposal.*
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[08:32] Sunraku**
*Soon.*
**[08:33] Sunraku**
*Soon, I'll have everything I need...*
**[08:36] Sunraku**
*Wait just a little while longer...*
**[08:38] Sunraku**
*Wethermon.*
**[08:40] Wethermon**
Until you surpass my ultimate,
**[08:43] Wethermon**
I shall not fall.
**[08:58] Pencilgon**
Let Sunraku-kun handle all that.
**[09:01] Oikatzo**
Yeah, we've got our own job to focus on.
**[09:05] Oikatzo**
Now, as far as your sure-fire way
to take down Kirin Armor goes...
**[09:11] Oikatzo**
It's not gonna be easy to
get him where we need him.
**[09:15] Pencilgon**
Can't do it, hmm?
**[09:16] Oikatzo**
Oh, please.
**[09:18] Oikatzo**
Don't go underestimating a fighting game pro.
**[09:20] Pencilgon**
In that case...
**[09:22] Pencilgon**
Get on that.
***SIGN*** Pencilgon
**[09:27] Oikatzo**
Wh-Why'd you just kill yourself?!
**[09:45] Pencilgon**
That took forever!
**[09:47] Pencilgon**
What's wrong with you?
**[09:48] Oikatzo**
H-Hey, that's my line!
**[09:51] Pencilgon**
A spear-wielder can't
fight with just one hand.
**[09:54] Pencilgon**
But resurrection sets me back to normal.
**[09:57] Oikatzo**
At least warn me first!
**[09:59] Pencilgon**
Now, let's start again fresh!
**[10:03] Pencilgon**
*First, gotta find its weak spot...*
**[10:08] Pencilgon**
* The backbone linking the*
* top and bottom portions!*
**[10:11] Pencilgon**
*It feels just like the other parts!*
**[10:13] Pencilgon**
Hey, hey! I'm right over here!
**[10:17] Oikatzo**
Not as easy to shake off this time, am I?
**[10:20] Oikatzo**
I've drugged myself into a major buff stack,
**[10:22] Oikatzo**
*and* I'm using two whips!
**[10:28] Oikatzo**
The second you lift up
the leg, the body falls!
**[10:32] Pencilgon**
Katzo-kun, well done!
**[10:35] Oikatzo**
If you wanna be a fighting
game pro in the VR game age,
**[10:38] Oikatzo**
you'd better know how the human body
moves under any set of circumstances!
**[10:44] Pencilgon**
This thing isn't really human!
**[10:46] Oikatzo**
It's humanoid! Basically the same thing!
**[10:51] Oikatzo**
Okay, and that's when...
**[10:57] Oikatzo**
I add more whips!
**[10:58] Oikatzo**
I've got you wrapped up
in every whip I've got!
**[11:03] Pencilgon**
*I suppose that's the end of this weapon.*

**[11:12] Pencilgon**

**[11:17] Pencilgon**
*but it's just as tough all over.*
**[11:20] Pencilgon**
* Still... there's one place where the*

**[11:25] Pencilgon**
*That waist of yours is just too suspicious!*
**[11:28] Pencilgon**
Katzo-kun! Move it forward!
**[11:30] Oikatzo**
Got it!
**[11:33] Oikatzo**
I won't be able to hold it for long!
**[11:35] Pencilgon**
Okay!
**[11:36] Pencilgon**
It's time to spill your guts, giant!

Come on, you can hang in
there a little longer!
**[11:48] Oikatzo**
My buffs are about to run out, y'know!
**[11:58] Pencilgon**
I got it off!
**[11:59] Oikatzo**
Great! Then, let's finish the job!
**[12:08] Oikatzo**
It shredded all my whips!
**[12:19] Oikatzo**
The hell is this? A berserker mode?!
**[12:21] Pencilgon**
Looks like breaking the
waist armor set it off!
**[12:25] Oikatzo**
What's the plan? Fall back for a bit?
**[12:27] Pencilgon**
No, we press the attack.
**[12:29] Pencilgon**
If we just let it rampage,
**[12:31] Pencilgon**
one of those indiscriminate beams
or missiles might hit Sunraku-kun.
**[12:36] Pencilgon**
I think you can imagine
what that would lead to.
**[12:41] Sunraku**
Huh? What was that?
**[12:43] Sunraku**
While I was going toe-to-toe
with a unique monster,
**[12:45] Sunraku**
*someone* couldn't even handle
distracting his pet horse?!
**[12:49] Sunraku**
I'd sure love to hear *all* about that!
**[12:55] Pencilgon**
We'll be in for six months of *that*.
**[12:58] Oikatzo**
No doubt. I'd do the same thing.
**[13:01] Pencilgon**
Yeah, so would I.
**[13:03] Oikatzo**
Okay!
**[13:04] Oikatzo**
In that case, we've done all our prep...
**[13:07] Oikatzo**
So let's seal the deal
on your sure-fire plan!
**[13:10] Pencilgon**
You said it.
**[13:11] Pencilgon/Oikatzo**
Time for Giant Killing!
**[13:23] Pencilgon**
*I only have two spears left.*
**[13:26] Pencilgon**
Boy, what a waste.
**[13:29] Pencilgon**
Do you know how much it
costs to make one of these?
**[13:32] Oikatzo**
Now's not the time to get stingy!
**[13:36] Pencilgon**
Must be nice to just use your fists...
**[13:40] Pencilgon**
Okay...
**[13:43] Pencilgon**
Thou art that which binds.
**[13:45] Pencilgon**
I am that which holds fast.
**[13:47] Pencilgon**
*I merge with all of creation.*
**[13:49] Pencilgon**
*I find the incompatible darkness...*
**[13:52] Pencilgon**
*and strike!*
**[14:01] Pencilgon**
Shadow Wedge!
**[14:08] Pencilgon**
Shadow Wedge...
**[14:10] Pencilgon**
It's a spell that lets you
seal a target in place
**[14:12] Pencilgon**
by stabbing your weapon into its shadow.
**[14:17] Pencilgon**
It lasts until the weapon breaks.
**[14:21] Pencilgon**
Given Kirin's size, that'll probably
be about five seconds from now.
**[14:25] Pencilgon**
We only get one chance at this!
**[14:27] Pencilgon**
Let's go... my last spear!
**[14:31] Pencilgon**
Giant Killing Skewer!

**[14:43] Oikatzo**
Okay! Hold it tight!
**[14:49] Oikatzo**
Pencilgon!
**[14:51] Pencilgon**
*Drat.*
**[14:52] Pencilgon**
*It fired a missile before I locked it down?*
**[14:59] Oikatzo**
Damn it...
**[15:00] Pencilgon**
That's no problem!
**[15:07] Pencilgon**
I said that a spear-wielder
can't fight with only one arm...
**[15:12] Pencilgon**
but I take that back.
**[15:15] Pencilgon**
Kirin Armor...
**[15:17] Pencilgon**
I only need one arm for you!
**[15:21] Pencilgon**
Go! Giant Killing!

Human Pile Bunker!
**[16:03] Pencilgon**
Katzo-kun!
**[16:25] Oikatzo**
I'm 'kay.
**[16:40] Oikatzo**
Boy, I'm tired!
**[16:44] Oikatzo**
We were so screwed if
that hadn't clinched it!
**[16:48] Oikatzo**
I'm so drained from Dark Overstrike
that I can't move a muscle.
**[16:51] Pencilgon**
You're out of stamina.
**[16:53] Pencilgon**
Rest for a while and you'll—
**[16:55] Pencilgon**
How's Sunraku-kun?!
**[17:07] Sunraku**
That was my last resurrection item.
**[17:10] Sunraku**
I made it in time, Wethermon.

* It raises the likelihood*

**[18:44] Sunraku**
*And...*
**[18:45] Sunraku**
* With the stacked effects of*
* Climax Boost and Hunger Wolf,*
**[18:49] Sunraku**
*I'll raise my action speed!*
**[18:51] Sunraku**
* With all this, I can block*

* I've got a skill I can only activate*

**[19:06] Sunraku**
*I screwed up!*
**[19:08] Sunraku**
*How'd I manage to blow my prep like this?!*
**[19:12] Sunraku**
*I'm doomed!*
**[19:12] Sunraku**
* I've soaked that attack*
* enough times to know...*
**[19:14] Sunraku**
* Hunger Wolf alone won't let*
* me match the attack speed!*
**[19:18] Sunraku**
*Think, man! There's gotta be a way!*
**[19:20] Sunraku**
*Sunraku, think!*
**[19:22] Sunraku**
*Think up a way!*
**[19:24] Wethermon**
Sky—
**[19:38] Sunraku**
* You guys are all so obsessed*
* with that Setsuna lady...*
**[19:45] Sunraku**
* Today's major update changed*
* the activation conditions*
**[19:48] Sunraku**
*for the luck-based "Endure" status...*
**[19:51] Sunraku**
*If your luck stat is over fifty,*
**[19:53] Sunraku**
* and your HP reaches zero due to*
* self-inflicted or recoil damage,*
***SIGN*** Endure
**[19:58] Sunraku**
* Just once, you can hang*
* in there with a single HP!*
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Hunger Wolf
STR, AGI, and VIT increase
in proportion to hunger and low HP,
but reduces Stamina, DEX, and TEC in exchange.
***SIGN*** Climax Boost
All stats increase in proportion
to level deficiency against enemy.
**[20:09] Sunraku**
Clear Sky Conquest is a chain of
actions that concludes with Sky Clear.
**[20:14] Sunraku**
In other words, until you release your
Sky Clear, you'll never give up...
**[20:20] Sunraku**
Either on the Clear Sky Conquest action
**[20:23] Sunraku**
or your oath to guard that
grave forever and ever!
**[20:26] Sunraku**
On behalf of Vash, I'm putting you down!

You were really strong...
**[20:58] Sunraku**
But I've seen enough of your
attacks for a lifetime...
**[21:03] Sunraku**
And your blade won't reach me ever again.
**[21:09] Sunraku**
The ultimate strike has been solved.
**[21:22] Wethermon**
Brilliant.
**[21:26] Wethermon**
You have broken through my ultimate strike.
**[21:33] Wethermon**
As "Clear Sky" transformed into
my ultimate, "Sky Clear"...
**[21:40] Wethermon**
So, again, do the words transform...
to describe your talent.

First, I got some chocolate bars.
**[23:52] Rei**
Then I chopped it up.
**[23:55] Rei**
Then I melted it with a water bath.
**[23:59] Rei**
That all went as planned.
**[24:01] Rei**
But what shape should I make them?
**[24:04] Rei**
Valentine's Day chocolate for Hizutome-kun...
**[24:08] Rei**
A-Am I really ready to give him hearts?
**[24:12] Rei**
Well... maybe I should use that shape, then?
**[24:17] Rei**
But just giving him his own head
would be annoying to him...
**[24:22] Rei**
And giving him half-naked chocolate
might be a little embarrassing...
**[24:28] Rei**
In that case...
**[24:31] Rei**
Oh, Hizutome-kun would eat me?!
**[24:34] Rei**
It's definitely way too soon for that!
**[24:36] Rei**
No, no! Don't nibble me there!
**[24:39] Rei**
Y-You're going to start there?
**[24:41] Rei**
You're filling your mouth? That loudly?!
**[24:44] Rei**
We're both underage!
**[24:47] Rei**
No, it's no good.
**[24:49] Rei**
I'll need to use a different shape.
**[24:51] Rei**
It's too much for me, emotionally.
**[24:54] Rei**
I-In that case...
**[24:56] Rei**
I'll make it my sister!
**[24:58] Rei**
But why?!
**[25:00] Rei**
I've got myself so confused!
**[25:04] Rei**
In that case...
**[25:10] Rei**
I melted it in the water bath,
then reshaped it back into chocolate bars!

***SIGN*** Sky clear = Clear as the sky
**[03:12] Sunraku**
Er, that just slipped out.
**[03:21] Wethermon**
Setsuna said that to me often, as well.
**[03:31] Wethermon**
I say it again. Your talent is clear.
**[03:34] Wethermon**
Well done, descendant of the first pioneers.
**[03:38] Sunraku**
*I thought he was totally insensate,*
**[03:42] Sunraku**

No.

**[05:22] Pencilgon**
Looks like we haven't met
the clear conditions yet.
**[05:28] Sunraku**
The cherry tree's dying?
**[05:34] Oikatzo**
The area's going back to normal, I guess?
**[05:51] Pencilgon**
Set-chan?
**[05:53] Setsuna**
Arthur.
**[05:54] Setsuna**
Sunraku.
**[05:56] Setsuna**
Oikatzo.
**[05:59] Setsuna**
You've done it, haven't you?
**[06:01] Setsuna**
I can't thank you enough.
**[06:04] Setsuna**
My wish...
**[06:06] Setsuna**
No, the wish of the Setsuna
of the long-distant past
**[06:11] Setsuna**
has been granted at long last.
**[06:14] Sunraku**
That's a weird way of putting it...
**[06:16] Oikatzo**
You're making it sound like
you're not really Setsuna.
**[06:20] Pencilgon**
Set-chan?
**[06:22] Pencilgon**
You *are* Setsuna, aren't you?
**[06:28] Setsuna**
Well, Arthur...
**[06:30] Setsuna**
It's true that I am Setsuna.
**[06:33] Setsuna**
But I'm not quite the
Setsuna who died that day.
**[06:39] Setsuna**
Setsuna's wish...
**[06:41] Setsuna**
"If my dearest love becomes
tied down by my death,
**[06:46] Setsuna**
find a way to stop him."
**[06:49] Setsuna**
I'm a remnant of her,
produced by those feelings.
**[06:54] Setsuna**
Like a manuscript, perfectly replicated,
right down to the handwriting.
**[07:01] Sunraku**
A remnant of the past, embodying the
real Setsuna's wish from long ago?
**[07:08] Sunraku**
Like a copy-paste of herself or something?
**[07:13] Sunraku**
That explains the whole "Setsuna
of Bygone Days," I guess...
**[07:19] Setsuna**
I am a remnant of Setsuna.
**[07:21] Setsuna**
I'm meant to disappear
once my role is fulfilled.
**[07:24] Pencilgon**
Wait! Set-chan!
**[07:26] Setsuna**
Don't be sad, Arthur.
**[07:29] Setsuna**
This was always going to happen,
once the world granted her wish.
**[07:36] Setsuna**
You are pioneers,
**[07:38] Setsuna**
the descendants of the Second Plan.
**[07:40] Setsuna**
You exist to throw open this world.
**[07:43] Setsuna**
If you wish to know of your roots...
of the truth of this world...
**[07:52] Setsuna**
Seek out "Bahamut."
**[07:56] Oikatzo**
Bahamut?
**[07:58] Sunraku**
Never heard of it, Katzo?
**[07:59] Sunraku**
It's basically a big fish that
people treat like a dragon.
**[08:02] Oikatzo**
Yeah, I know what a freaking Bahamut is!
**[08:04] Oikatzo**
But what's it mean in the
context of *this game*?
**[08:08] Pencilgon**
There's no monster in *SLF* called
Bahamut, that I know of.
**[08:12] Pencilgon**
Set-chan, could you explain—
**[08:16] Setsuna**
You should find that answer on your own.
**[08:19] Setsuna**
That's what it means to throw
open the future, after all.
**[08:24] Setsuna**
Arthur.
**[08:26] Setsuna**
Let me speak to you now, not as Setsuna,
**[08:29] Setsuna**
but as myself.
**[08:33] Setsuna**
Thank you for always coming to see me.
**[08:37] Setsuna**
I love you, Arthur.

Still, never knew you had a

**[09:23] Oikatzo**
What is this feeling? Is this... a soul?
**[09:27] Pencilgon**
That's the second time you've made that joke!
**[09:29] Pencilgon**
Okay, I'm seriously gonna murder you two!
**[09:33] Oikatzo**
You can't PK me after all I've been through!
**[09:36] Oikatzo**
Take this one for the team, Sunraku!
**[09:38] Sunraku**
Knock it off!
**[09:38] Oikatzo**
Just walk on up and take it!

Hey, we just did it 'cause we wanted to.
**[10:03] Oikatzo**
Right?

The first dispatch of a unique monster
since *Shangri-La Frontier* started...
**[10:14] Sunraku**
I can't wait to see what kind
of loot we've got waiting for us!

Yeah, yeah!

Hey! Big news!
***SIGN*** Clan: "The Library"

**[11:31] Library A**
Anyone got the professor's IRL contact info?
**[11:35] Library B**
I'm pretty sure his wife is in Schwarz Vulf.
**[11:37] Library B**
Ask her to fetch him!
**[11:39] Library C**
You know the professor.
**[11:41] Library C**
The minute he hears a unique
monster's been beaten,
**[11:44] Library C**
he'll be here on the double.
**[11:45] Library A**
I just hope his wife's logged in.
**[11:48] Library D**
But what's the "world story" they
mentioned in the GM announcement?
**[11:53] Library C**
Yeah, never heard that term before...
**[11:54] Library E**
It's safe to assume it's different
from the regular story, right?
**[11:59] Library E**
If the regular story usually involves
working with NPCs to explore the world,
**[12:03] Library E**
the "world story" must mean the world
itself proceeding to a new stage, right?
**[12:09] Library C**
If that's the case, we could
have some big changes in store!
**[12:13] Library C**
You think we should ask
Schwarz Vulf to sniff around for us?
**[12:16] Library A**
I think we should look into
Wethermon the Tombguard first.
**[12:19] Library D**
I'm for that!
**[12:21] Library D**
That's a unique monster that's been
totally unsubstantiated until now!
**[12:26] Library D**
Siegwurm, Lycagon, Ctarnidd,
the Orchestra, and now Wethermon...
**[12:32] Library B**
To think we'd get to fill in an unknown
Colossus after all this time...
**[12:36] Library E**
That leaves just two unknowns left.
**[12:38] Library A**
Okay, let's get in contact with the players
who took out Wethermon the Tombguard...
**[12:43] Library A**
Hey, the professor's wife says she'll
wake him up and get him logged on!
**[12:47] Library B**
Yes!
**[12:48] Library E**
I feel bad that he had to be woken up...
**[12:54] Psyger-100**
Sunraku. Oikatzo. Arthur Pencilgon.
**[12:59] Psyger-100**

**[13:16] Wolf A**
I thought it was odd that we
didn't see her during the raid.
**[13:20] Wolf A**
I never dreamed she'd be off
slaying a unique monster.
**[13:25] Psyger-100**
Disgusting.
**[13:26] Psyger-100**
She funneled info on Ashura Kai
to us through a mediator
**[13:29] Psyger-100**
while she went after the unique monster...
**[13:31] Psyger-100**
She completely used us!
**[13:34] Wolf B**
She might be even more troublesome
than Orcelott, who got away.
**[13:37] Wolf C**
The other two aren't part
of Ashura Kai, are they?
**[13:41] Psyger-100**
I've never heard of this "Oikatzo" person,
**[13:45] Psyger-100**
but this player, Sunraku...
**[13:47] Psyger-100**
I believe he's the one
who tangled with Lycagon.
**[13:51] Psyger-0**
* Pencilgon-san and Hizutome-kun...*
* are they close?*
**[13:57] Wolf C**
What should we do, Chief?
**[13:59] Wolf C**
We've still got the journey
to the new land coming up...
**[14:03] Psyger-100**
We'll still be heading to the new land.

But I and a few others will remain here.
***SIGN*** 75: Alinoiyu (Beginner)
I have a question for our esteemed elders. I was picking up equipment

**[14:12] Psyger-100**
A beginner last seen in Thirdrema
**[14:15] Psyger-100**
did the unthinkable and
beat a unique monster?
**[14:21] Psyger-100**
I'm *very* interested in you
all of a sudden, Sunraku-kun!
**[14:26] Psyger-100**
I've gotta find a way to get
in contact with these guys!
**[14:28] Psyger-100**
Maybe we can even do some
laundering negotiations!
**[14:32] Wolf A**
The chief seems to be enjoying this.
**[14:34] Wolf A**
I was so sure she'd be upset.
**[14:36] Wolf D**
Huh? Psyger-0's missing.
**[14:39] Wolf D**
What happened there?
**[14:40] Wolf A**
Said something about helping
a friend in trouble.
**[14:44] Psyger-100**
A friend?
**[14:45] Psyger-100**
Oh...
**[14:46] Psyger-100**
* I do remember her saying she*
* managed to friend a guy she liked...*
**[14:53] Psyger-100**
Well, I should probably support that.
**[15:01] Pencilgon**
Thought we'd run into you here.
**[15:03] Oikatzo**
Oh, is this the guy?
**[15:06] Orcelott**
Y-Y-You people...
**[15:08] Oikatzo**
What was the name again?
Orcelott the Failhard?
**[15:12] Sunraku**
Wow, what a wussy title.
**[15:14] Sunraku**
Who's he think he is, Wethermon?
**[15:16] Pencilgon**
Oh, please! My loser little bro doesn't
need a fancy nickname like that.
**[15:21] Pencilgon**
He has no concept of the noble art of PKing.
**[15:24] Pencilgon**
He's an absolute hack with
delusions of grandeur.
**[15:26] Orcelott**
I knew it...
**[15:28] Orcelott**
You're the one who leaked
the location of our base!
**[15:31] Pencilgon**
Well, you reap what you sow.
**[15:34] Pencilgon**
You'd turned chicken, all fat and
comfortable and afraid of losing it all...
**[15:38] Pencilgon**
So I gave you a punch to the gut
to make you cough up the goods.
**[15:43] Pencilgon**
That's all.
**[15:45] Oikatzo**
Whoa!
**[15:46] Sunraku**
The PK-talking lady is scary!
**[15:50] Orcelott**
You think you know it all, huh?!
**[15:53] Orcelott**
I bet you're tired out from
that Wethermon fight, huh?!
**[15:56] Orcelott**
We're gonna murder you and
take all the loot you scored!
**[16:04] Pencilgon**
See? This is your big problem.
**[16:07] Pencilgon**
I'm always telling you to

Everything I built...
**[17:15] Orcelott**
destroyed by you people...
**[17:21] Pencilgon**
You can't expect an MMO to
always go the way you want.
**[17:25] Pencilgon**
You'd be better off sticking
to offline single-player.
**[17:29] Sunraku**
Personally, I recommend
*Faeria Chronicle Online*!
**[17:33] Oikatzo**
Jeez! What kind of monster are you?!

**[17:36] Pencilgon**
Hey, look at all these rare items
the Ashura Kai was packing!
**[17:42] Pencilgon**
Like they were trying to
skip town with the goods.
**[17:44] Sunraku**
I didn't think you'd show up so quickly!
**[17:47] Sunraku**
Thanks so much, Psyger-0-san!
**[17:49] Psyger-0**
R-Really, i-it was... nothing.
**[17:54] Psyger-0**
More importantly...
**[17:55] Psyger-0**
Congratulations... on dispatching
that unique monster!
**[18:00] Sunraku**
Hey, thanks.
**[18:02] Sunraku**
* That's right. I guess that announcement*
* got the word out everywhere...*
**[18:06] Sunraku**
* It's gonna be even harder*
* to walk around in public.*
**[18:10] Sunraku**
*But what now?*
**[18:11] Sunraku**
* After I called her out like this, I can't*
* just say, "Thanks a bunch, you can go now."*
**[18:17] Psyger-0**
* Wh-What's going on?*
* He's staring at me so intently...*
**[18:20] Rei**
*Squee!*
**[18:22] Pencilgon**
Hey, right, Psyger-0-chan.
**[18:25] Pencilgon**
You mind if I ask...
**[18:26] Pencilgon**
While you're here, would you mind killing me?
**[18:32] Pencilgon**
In exchange, how about
all the items I've got,
**[18:36] Pencilgon**
including two Rebirth Tearjewels
**[18:38] Pencilgon**
and all the rare items the
Ashura Kai was packing?
**[18:42] Oikatzo**
Hey, you sure about this?
**[18:44] Oikatzo**
Pretty sure the PKK penalty is
having all your items confiscated
**[18:48] Oikatzo**
and a big fine you gotta pay in
proportion to your crimes, right?
**[18:52] Sunraku**
Knowing Pencilgon,
that'll probably be a pretty hefty fee.
**[18:56] Pencilgon**
I'd be an even bigger chicken than my
little bro if I never took any risks.
**[19:01] Pencilgon**
I'm pretty sick of PKing, anyway,
**[19:03] Pencilgon**
and this seemed like a good
time to wipe my slate clean.
**[19:07] Pencilgon**
Although... for now,
I'm still a player killer.
**[19:12] Pencilgon**
I'm not about to offer my
head up on a silver platter.
**[19:16] Pencilgon**
Psyger-0-chan...
**[19:18] Pencilgon**
Rather, Attack Master,
holder of unparalleled firepower...
**[19:22] Pencilgon**
I've always wanted to go all-out against you!
**[19:36] Psyger-0**
Very well. I'll take you on.
**[19:39] Psyger-0**
Satanael, reversal...

***SIGN*** Antinomy

**[19:58] Pencilgon**
And you're even showing off the reversal...
**[20:01] Pencilgon**
How generous of you.
**[20:04] Psyger-0**
My siste—
**[20:05] Psyger-0**
Our chief told me about you.
**[20:08] Psyger-0**
You'll run at the drop of a hat,
so the moment I see you,
**[20:12] Psyger-0**
I should slay you swiftly,
with one decisive hit.
**[20:14] Sunraku**
That's how people talk about cockroaches.
**[20:16] Pencilgon**
Huh?!
**[20:17] Pencilgon**
You guys are dead for sure.

If I'm fighting the Giant Killer,
**[20:24] Psyger-0**
I'm giving it everything I have!
**[20:26] Sunraku**
In this corner, Psyger-0 just stacked
a bunch of scary-looking buffs
**[20:30] Sunraku**
I don't know anything about!
**[20:31] Oikatzo**
Total demon king vibes.
**[20:33] Pencilgon**
Sup upon blood, tear away flesh.
**[20:37] Pencilgon**
Sink your teeth into death and reject life...

Thou art the butcher.

**[20:46] Sunraku**
And in this corner,
things are looking pretty grody!
**[20:49] Oikatzo**
Sheesh, her weapon's creeping me out.
**[20:53] Pencilgon**
Now, shall we begin?
**[20:55] Psyger-0**
Yes, let us...
**[20:58] Both**
Battle!
**[21:00] Sunraku**
And they're off! It's a clash
between serious buff stacks!
**[21:04] Oikatzo**
How can you have so much
energy after that huge fight?
***SIGN*** Massacre Bite
**[21:09] Pencilgon**
Massacre Bite!
**[21:11] Pencilgon**
Got you now!
**[21:16] Pencilgon**
*My sword is stuck?!*
**[21:21] Sunraku**
Holy crap! Was that a direct hit?!
**[21:30] Pencilgon**
That was a close one...
**[21:33] Pencilgon**
I almost got myself cleaved in half.
**[21:36] Pencilgon**
After all that with Set-chan...
**[21:38] Pencilgon**
I've gotta put my whole heart into this!
**[21:43] Psyger-0**
In that case, just for you...
**[21:46] Psyger-0**
Light and darkness,
opposites in constant conflict
**[21:50] Psyger-0**
deny their mutual rejection
**[21:51] Psyger-0**
and weave together a severed destiny...
**[21:56] Psyger-0**
My body is bathed in light
**[21:58] Psyger-0**
and cloaked in darkness.
**[22:00] Psyger-0**
Let disorder devour this world!

Well, good morning, all!
**[23:51] Emul**
I'm the peerless vorpal
bunny of Rabituza, Emul!
**[23:55] Emul**
I'm going to tell you about all
the news I've seen and heard!
***SIGN*** Horror! Undulating White Cloth Ghost!!
**[24:01] Emul**
A ghost story so early in the morning?!
**[24:05] Emul**
The Thirdrema urban legend,
the White Cloth Ghost, has been sighted!
**[24:09] Emul**
It was seen jumping about on the
rooftops, its body undulating all over!
**[24:14] Emul**
What a terrifying story!
**[24:16] Emul**
It's so awful that we don't
know what it could be!
**[24:19] Emul**
But there was a vorpal bunny who
spotted the White Cloth Ghost!
**[24:23] Emul**
I got his story!
***SIGN*** Horror! Undulating White Cloth Ghost!!
**[24:26] Peatz**
Oh, that was the thing I sold to that bird-man.
**[24:30] Peatz**
So I guess it had to be that bird-man...
**[24:33] Peatz**
Which means you had to be
there with him, right, Sis?
**[24:37] Peatz**
Oh? Well, I'd bet the bubbling
part would've been because
**[24:41] Peatz**
the bird-man was jumping and you
were under the cloth panicking—
**[24:46] Emul**
There's no need to tell them all that!
***SIGN*** We are experiencing technical difficulties
**[24:49] Peatz**
Hey! Sis, you hit me in the head!
**[24:51] Emul**
Besides, I wasn't panicking!
**[24:53] Emul**
Sunraku-san just said "It would be
faster to run along the rooftops"
**[24:56] Emul**
and then he did a somersault, so I
was just trying to get my balance!
**[25:00] Peatz**
So it *was* you, Sis!
**[25:02] Emul**
Vorpal Sister Punch! Indeed!
**[25:07] Emul**
We had a little bit of white noise there.
**[25:09] Emul**
The rabbit we spoke to is
no longer fit to be shown.
**[25:12] Peatz**
How come?!
**[25:14] Emul**
Now, our next news item!
***SIGN*** The Rabituza famed Vorpal Carrot Bumper Crop
**[25:17] Emul**
Th-This is incredible!
**[25:20] Emul**
We have a vorpal carrot bumper crop!
**[25:22] Emul**
This is absolutely fabulous!
**[25:25] Emul**
We have Sunraku-san on the scene right now!
**[25:27] Emul**
We'll put you right through to him!
**[25:29] Emul**
Sunraku-san! Sunraku-san!
**[25:32] Emul**
How are things going over there?
**[25:34] Emul**
Are the carrots looking wonderful?!
**[25:38] Sunraku**
This is Sunraku on the scene.
**[25:40] Emul**
Wh-What's going on over there?!
**[25:42] Sunraku**
What? What was that?
**[25:44] Emul**
What's going on over there?!
**[25:47] Sunraku**
Well, as it happens, this Giga Armored
Death Carrot-Eater showed up...
**[25:52] Emul**
Giga Armored Death Carrot-Eater?!
**[25:55] Sunraku**
A Giga Armored Death Carrot-Eater
is attacking the carrot patch!
**[26:00] Emul**
M-My carrots!
**[26:02] Emul**
What's happening to my carrots?!
**[26:05] Sunraku**
What's that?!
**[26:06] Emul**
My carrots!
**[26:09] Sunraku**
I don't give a crap!
**[26:10] Sunraku**
I'm fighting the damn Giga Armored
Death Carrot-Eater right now!
**[26:15] Sunraku**
Sounds like a Mongolian Death Worm to me!
**[26:17] Sunraku**
I'll split you down the back
and make braised eel outta you!
**[26:21] Emul**
I-I must take action!
**[26:24] Emul**
My carrots...
**[26:25] Emul**
I mean, the vorpal carrots must be
protected for the sake of all Rabituzans!
**[26:29] Emul**
I must rush to the scene at once!
**[26:32] Emul**
That's all for today!
**[26:34] Emul**
Let us even meet again tomorrow!
**[26:36] Emul**
What even is a Giga Armored
Death Carrot-Eater?!

Thank you.
**[02:21] Sunraku**
What do we do now?
**[02:23] Sunraku**
Pencilgon was our smooth talker,
and now she's been vaporized...
**[02:27] Oikatzo**
That's your friend, right?
**[02:29] Oikatzo**
Do something already!
**[02:30] Sunraku**
More like the person who
anticipated my escape plan,
**[02:33] Sunraku**
laid an ambush, then shoved
a friend request in my face!
**[02:36] Sunraku**
I'm still kinda walking on eggshells here!
**[02:41] Oikatzo**
Ah, well.
**[02:44] Oikatzo**
Time to show off the social
skills of a professional gamer!
**[02:48] Sunraku**
G'luck!
**[02:52] Psyger-0**
I d-do have a question
for you... Sunraku-san.
**[02:58] Sunraku**
Y-Yes?!
**[03:00] Psyger-0**
I... well...
**[03:02] Psyger-0**
Do you and... Pencilgon...
**[03:06] Psyger-0**
What exactly is your relationship?
**[03:10] Sunraku**
Oh...
**[03:12] Sunraku**
Gaming buddies?
**[03:14] Psyger-0**
O-Oh, is that it?
**[03:17] Psyger-0**
Buddies... buddies...
**[03:19] Psyger-0**
Friends.
**[03:23] Psyger-0**
The Friend Warp timer is expiring.
**[03:28] Sunraku**
Well, seriously,
thanks again for helping today.
**[03:33] Sunraku**
I'll pay you back sometime!
**[03:34] Psyger-0**
In that case, if you ever have a minute,
I'd love to adventure togeth—
**[03:43] Sunraku**
Maybe I should find a game that
boosts your social skills.
**[03:46] Oikatzo**
Yeah. Wanna play *Love Clock*?
**[03:49] Sunraku**
Nah, forget it.
**[03:50] Sunraku**
Too much pizzeria apprenticeship trauma.
**[03:52] Oikatzo**
Huh?
**[03:53] Oikatzo**
That creepy sword's still there.
**[03:56] Sunraku**
Probably looked too freaky to take.
**[03:59] Sunraku**
Hate to just leave it lying there, though.
**[04:02] Sunraku**
Ah, well.
**[04:04] Sunraku**
It's pretty creepy, but I
guess I'll hang onto it.
**[04:07] Oikatzo**
Boy, I haven't felt this
dog-tired in a while.
**[04:11] Oikatzo**
I'm gonna sleep well tonight.
**[04:14] Sunraku**
I'm thinking less "sleep" and more "coma."
**[04:17] Oikatzo**
Yeah.
**[04:18] Oikatzo**
Let's hit up Thirdrema, then log out.
**[04:20] Sunraku**
You said it.
***SIGN*** Thirdrema
**[04:32] Sunraku**

**[05:06] Sunraku**
Oh, that's right.

Wethermon the Tombguard's been beaten.
**[06:06] Underling**
The unexpected timing has the
whole company in a panic.
**[06:09] Tsukuyogi**
I'll bet.
**[06:11] Tsukuyogi**
* The expected defeat order*

*Or perhaps the end.*

Was it not you who said at the rate things
were going no one would be him in ten years?
**[08:09] Tsukuri**
I said *Ashura Kai* couldn't do it.
**[08:13] Amachi**
I wasn't expecting them to bring

But they didn't use any glitches or cheats.
***SIGN*** Glitch

**[08:23] Tsukuri**
Impossible to complain?

Don't give me that!
**[08:27] Tsukuri**
You're the one who nerfed Wethermon
in that utterly disgusting way!
**[08:33] Tsukuri**
Admit it was a mistake! Right now!
**[08:35] Amachi**
Oh?!
**[08:37] Amachi**
That's because no one could ever beat him
with the original stats you gave him!
**[08:41] Tsukuri**
That's because Wethermon's supposed
to be really, *really*, really strong!*
**[08:45] Tsukuri**
He's the greatest hero of the Divinity!
**[08:47] Tsukuri**
But your stupid worries
about stupid game balance
**[08:50] Tsukuri**
are ruining my carefully designed story concepts!
**[08:53] Amachi**
You can't tie story progress flags
to an unbeatable monster!
**[08:57] Amachi**
Are you nuts or something?!
**[08:59] Tsukuri**
How dare you?!
**[09:01] Tsukuri**
You're a parasite feeding on the
leftovers of my beautiful world!
**[09:05] Amachi**
What was that?!
**[09:06] Amachi**
You couldn't balance your
precious little world,
**[09:11] Amachi**
which is why I had to step
in and do it for you!
**[09:14] Amachi**
Dumbass!
**[09:17] Amachi**
Your dandruff is terrible!
**[09:19] Tsukuri**
So's yours!
**[09:21] Amachi**
I had a shower two days ago!
**[09:23] Tsukuri**
And I had one three days ago!
**[09:27] Tsukuyogi**
*My stomach hurts.*
**[09:29] Tsukuyogi**
*But I can't let this scare me off.*
**[09:33] Tsukuyogi**
That's enough, both of you!
**[09:36] Tsukuyogi**
How long are you going
to fight like children?!
**[09:38] Amachi**
You shut up!

**[12:17] Vysache**
How'd you like that stubborn old fool?
**[12:20] Sunraku**
Well, Aniki Vash...
**[12:23] Sunraku**
Wethermon was quite strong indeed.
**[12:26] Sunraku**
That Woodmage thing couldn't even compare.
**[12:33] Vysache**
I'll bet.
**[12:35] Sunraku**
*If not for my experience playing trash games*
**[12:37] Sunraku**
*where unreasonable attacks were the norm,*
**[12:39] Sunraku**
*it'd have been over before it started.*
**[12:43] Sunraku**
*Hey, Emul-chan.*
**[12:45] Sunraku**
*Where do you think you're blowing your nose?*
**[12:51] Vysache**
Did he depart this world satisfied?
**[12:56] Sunraku**
He said it was a job well done.
**[12:59] Vysache**
Ah, excellent.
**[13:06] Vysache**
Cultivate and open the way...
**[13:10] Vysache**
Perhaps the time has come.
**[13:13] Sunraku**
The time...?
**[13:15] Vysache**
Would you like to know the
truth of this world, son?
**[13:25] Sunraku**
I would be honored.
**[13:32] Vysache**
Then there's a little something
I'd like you to do for me.
**[13:36] Sunraku**
Do for you?
**[13:39] Vysache**
Just bring me a few items.
**[13:41] Sunraku**
Huh?
**[13:43] Vysache**
There's a process to these things, see?
**[13:46] Vysache**
Once you've done it,
I'll tell you the truths of this world.
**[13:55] Sunraku**
*Oh, come on!*
**[13:57] Sunraku**
* I was all hyped up about kicking off*
* my bonus unique scenario, Vorpal Epic,*
**[14:02] Sunraku**
*and it's a freaking fetch quest?*
**[14:05] Sunraku**
*Well, fine.*
**[14:06] Sunraku**
*That's how these things always start, anyway.*
**[14:09] Sunraku**
Let's see... Items needed...
***SIGN*** Bonus Unique Scenario
Vorpal Epic
Items Needed
Receiver Delta
Positioner Delta
Transmitter Delta
**[14:12] Sunraku**
Receiver Delta, Positioner Delta,
Transmitter Delta...
**[14:19] Sunraku**
I think I get the gist, but where do
I even start looking for these things?
**[14:23] Sunraku**
Surely you're not going
to send me out blind...
**[14:26] Vysache**
Right.
**[14:28] Vysache**
Check out a place called
the Lightless Barrens.
**[14:32] Sunraku**
Um...
**[14:33] Sunraku**
Lightless Barrens?
***SIGN*** Iron Ruins of the Divinity
***SIGN*** Thirdrema
***SIGN*** Prismatic Forest Grotto
***SIGN*** Diremarsh Waste
***SIGN*** Secondale
***SIGN*** The Rampant Forest
**[14:37] Sunraku**
I guess it's nowhere near Thirdrema, huh?
**[14:41] Vysache**
You won't find it on a chintzy map like that.
**[14:48] Sunraku**
Guess I'll check Peatz's shop next.
**[14:51] Vysache**
Well, then...
**[14:52] Vysache**
I guess I'll go wait
patiently for your return.
**[14:55] Sunraku**
H-Hey!
**[14:57] Sunraku**
Can't you give me any more info?!
**[14:59] Vysache**
As long as you're not too great a fool,
**[15:02] Vysache**
you should find it soon enough.
**[15:11] Sunraku**
Maybe it's in an area
way ahead of where I am?
**[15:15] Sunraku**
Unique scenarios do kinda seem
like endgame content, so...
**[15:19] Sunraku**
Guess it makes sense.
**[15:20] Emul**
It seems it may be quite a long journey!
**[15:24] Sunraku**
Sweet, naive Emul...
**[15:26] Sunraku**
You might be surprised.
**[15:31] Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[15:32] Sunraku**
My level freaking exploded
from that Wethermon fight!
**[15:36] Sunraku**
I got a flood of new skills
and evolved skills, too!
***SIGN*** Evolved Drill Piercer → Glowing Pierce

Guess it'll be time for a new
visit to the Skill Garden!
**[15:41] Emul**
Well done, indeed!
**[15:43] Sunraku**
A power boost like this'll have me
skating through the game for a while!
**[15:47] Sunraku**
But wait, there's more!
**[15:50] Sunraku**
Yes, don't forget...
**[15:52] Sunraku**
The Wethermon battle loot!
**[15:55] Emul**
The time has come!
**[15:57] Sunraku**
They wouldn't put me through all that
effort for a totally lame payoff, right?!
**[16:04] Sunraku**
Gimme that good stuff!
***SIGN*** Use Items

***SIGN*** Tome of Truth: The Tombguard
**[16:09] Sunraku**
What the heck's this?
**[16:10] Sunraku**
"Tome of Truth: The Tombguard."
***SIGN*** Tome of Truth: The Tombguard
Chapter 1: The Birth of Wethermon the Tombguard
Long, long ago, during the age called the Divinity, a trivial misunderstanding led Wethermon to tell a small lie in a moment of weakness that resulted in Setsuna's death. This is what caused Wethermon to pledge himself to eternal protection of her grave. Setsuna knew Wethermon all too well, and so in her moment of death, she made a wish: "As not even death will stop him from guarding my grave, I pray that someone will stop him."
**[16:13] Sunraku**
Oh, it's just a detailed rundown
of Wethermon's backstory.
**[16:18] Sunraku**
I can read that stuff later.
**[16:20] Sunraku**
C'mon, give me something I can use!
***SIGN*** Clear Sky Skillbook
A digital record of sword techniques
left by a Divinity-era swordsmaster.
**[16:26] Sunraku**
Let's see... "Clear Sky Skillbook"?
**[16:31] Sunraku**
Clear Sky Skillbook...
**[16:33] Sunraku**
"A digital record of sword techniques
left by a Divinity-era swordsmaster."
**[16:40] Sunraku**
"The strikes recorded within
can cleave the heavens,
**[16:42] Sunraku**
pierce the earth, and clear dark clouds."
**[16:45] Sunraku**
"Divinity equipment is required
to decipher and master them."
**[16:49] Sunraku**
Wait, isn't "Clear Sky" that
array of skills Wethermon used?
**[16:53] Sunraku**
What? What?!
**[16:55] Emul**
What is it, Sunraku-san?
**[16:59] Sunraku**
I can freaking learn Wethermon's skills?!
**[17:04] Sunraku**
You kidding me?!
**[17:12] Sunraku**
Which means...
**[17:13] Sunraku**
I might be able to learn "Sky Clear", too?!
**[17:16] Sunraku**
This is too freaking good!
**[17:20] Sunraku**
It says I need Divinity equipment,
so it might be a while...
**[17:24] Sunraku**
But this is gonna be great!
**[17:26] Sunraku**
Right, Emul?
**[17:27] Emul**
I thought you were gonna
rub my cheeks off...
**[17:31] Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[17:33] Sunraku**
Let's keep up the pace!
**[17:35] Sunraku**
And for my last piece of loot!
***SIGN*** Inventoria Key
**[17:39] Sunraku**
Hey, it's an accessory!
**[17:41] Sunraku**
I'll bet it gives a pretty sweet stat boost!
**[17:45] Sunraku**
Let's see...
***SIGN*** Inventoria Key
**[17:46] Sunraku**
"Inventoria Key."
**[17:49] Sunraku**
"It is both the door and the
key to a storage space,"
**[17:53] Sunraku**
"a special bracelet worn only by a
select few, even during the Divinity."
**[17:59] Sunraku**
"Even if the wearer is player-killed,
**[18:02] Sunraku**
neither the accessory nor the items
inside the storage space can be stolen."
**[18:08] Sunraku**
Hey, pretty good!
**[18:10] Sunraku**
"Provides portable access
to an expandable space."
**[18:15] Sunraku**
"Synchronizes with anatomical data to
fuse and become a part of the user."
**[18:21] Sunraku**
"Acts as a warehouse with infinite storage"?
**[18:26] Sunraku**
So it's like an item box you can stuff
anything smaller than 50 meters in?
**[18:34] Sunraku**
I can also spend some MP to transport
into the storage space itself, huh?
**[18:41] Sunraku**
Not as cool as I'd hoped,
but let's give it a try.
**[18:54] Emul**
H-He disappeared!
**[19:03] Sunraku**
So this is my storage space... huh?
**[19:13] Sunraku**
H-Hey...
**[19:16] Sunraku**
I know I was asking for
stuff I could use, but...

**[19:30] Sunraku**
What the hell is this?!
**[19:50] Pencilgon**
I'm pretty much destitute now,
**[19:52] Pencilgon**
but I went hard on bartering
and managed to get them.
**[19:58] Pencilgon**
I'll have something much
nicer the next time I come.
**[20:02] Pencilgon**
I hope you'll give me some leeway this time.
**[20:07] Pencilgon**
These flowers stay in bloom
for five minutes, then die.
**[20:14] Pencilgon**
But if you pick them before that happens
and put them in your inventory,
**[20:17] Pencilgon**
the flowers stays in bloom, they say.
**[20:22] Pencilgon**
They live for a moment,
then remain for eternity...
**[20:25] Pencilgon**
The flower's name reflects
that— "Setsunatowa."
**[20:29] Pencilgon**
Perfect for you and me, right?
**[20:32] Pencilgon**
You called yourself a copy,
**[20:36] Pencilgon**
but as far as I'm concerned,
you were the original.
**[20:38] Pencilgon**
The real deal.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Setsuna**
If you wish to know of your roots...
of the truth of this world...
**[20:54] (Flashback) Setsuna**
Seek out "Bahamut."
**[20:57] Pencilgon**
The truth of this world, eh?
**[21:02] Pencilgon**
Well, I'd originally meant to quit *SLF*
after I beat Wethermon the Tombguard...
**[21:10] Pencilgon**
But all right, Set-chan.
**[21:21] Pencilgon**
*Whatever this Bahamut thing is,*
**[21:24] Pencilgon**
* I'll get it to cough up*
* all the secrets it holds.*

**[23:41] Pencilgon**
Perfect for you and me, right?
**[23:46] Pencilgon**
Boy, but it wasn't easy to get these.
**[23:51] Pencilgon**
All my equipment got
confiscated when I respawned.
**[24:04] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.
**[24:06] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
You mind taking me on the
secret route to Thirdrema?
**[24:11] (Flashback) Mob**
So, where's my payment?
**[24:13] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
Hey, thanks!
**[24:14] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
I'll take it on loan, if you don't mind.
**[24:15] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
I'm in a hurry, so later!
**[24:19] (Flashback) NPC Flower Seller**
Thank you for saving me.
**[24:22] (Flashback) NPC Flower Seller**
Please take this, as an
expression of my gratitude.
**[24:27] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
I cleared the event and got the loot!
**[24:35] (Flashback) Guard**
Hey!
**[24:40] Pencilgon**
I knew you would be gone.
**[24:45] Pencilgon**
But I wanted to make it here before dawn.
**[24:49] Pencilgon**
Just in case... you know?
**[24:53] Pencilgon**
Kind of a silly thing to hope for, I know.
**[24:58] Pencilgon**
Boy, am I sentimental or what?
**[25:03] Pencilgon**
Well, I'll be back.
**[25:06] Pencilgon**

Gwahaha
**[02:49] Kei**
The thought of them enjoying it
without me really ticks me off!
**[02:55] Kei**
Still, there's just a week
until the big tournament,
**[02:59] Kei**
so I'd better work out the last of the kinks.
**[03:06] Sunraku**
Check out Inventoria Key ASAP, man!
**[03:14] Kei**
Scratch that.
**[03:15] Kei**
I really can't bear to
let them get ahead of me!
**[03:33] Kei**
Okay!
***SIGN*** The Serpent's Apple
**[03:39] Sunraku**
Did you see it?
**[03:40] Sunraku**
That awesome sci-fi armor lineup?!
**[03:44] Sunraku**
I could take on the entire
*SLF* playerbase with that!
**[03:49] Oikatzo**
Yeah, I saw it!
**[03:50] Oikatzo**
If you could use that stuff, it'd change up
the whole game, for real!
**[03:53] Sunraku**
Yeah!
**[03:54] Sunraku**
So, what now? What now?!
**[03:56] Pencilgon**
Well, about that...
**[04:00] Pencilgon**
Before I came here, I went into the storage
space and checked a few things out.
**[04:06] Both**
And?!
**[04:08] Pencilgon**
My conclusion is...
**[04:13] Pencilgon**
At the moment, they're not useful
as anything more than art pieces.
**[04:23] Pencilgon**
Those tactical machines and power armors
**[04:25] Pencilgon**
seem to require a power source called
a "Non-Standard Ether Reactor,"
***SIGN*** Non-Standard Armament: Wire
Keep-Out Wire
***SIGN*** Non-Standard Armament: Blade
Harbinger
**[04:30] Pencilgon**
an item I've never heard of
and have no idea where to get.
**[04:37] Pencilgon**
And you can't use the weapons
without the power armor on, so...
**[04:43] Sunraku**
No way!
**[04:44] Sunraku**
I got so excited, I didn't dig any deeper...
**[04:47] Oikatzo**
Actually, I've got a
Non-Standard Ether Reactor.
**[04:52] Sunraku**
Gross!
**[04:54] Pencilgon**
Where the hell did you get that?!
**[04:56] Oikatzo**
Maybe it's 'cause I did most
of the fighting against Kirin,
**[05:00] Oikatzo**
but I got it in my loot.
***SIGN*** Non-Standard Ether Reactor
**[05:03] Pencilgon**
I underestimated you, Mr. Bondage Rodeo!
**[05:06] Sunraku**
Damn it! Wish I coulda seen that rodeo.
**[05:09] Sunraku**
It's my one regret of the Wethermon fight...
**[05:12] Oikatzo**
It seems like it's damaged, though.
***SIGN*** Non-Standard Ether Reactor
***SIGN*** Damaged
**[05:16] Pencilgon**
You can't fix it at a shop?
**[05:18] Oikatzo**
The blacksmiths I went to all
turned me away at the door.
**[05:22] Oikatzo**
"I can't fix a thing if I've
got no idea what it is."
**[05:25] Pencilgon**
Yeah, being a Divinity-era relic and all...
**[05:28] Pencilgon**
We might need a specialized blacksmith.
**[05:31] Pencilgon**
Or a special item...
**[05:34] Pencilgon**
Either way, I'm stumped.
**[05:38] Sunraku**
I might know a way to get it fixed.
**[05:42] Sunraku**
Hey! You did that on purpose!
**[05:45] Oikatzo**
Hey, are you serious about that?
**[05:48] Sunraku**
Well, no guarantees.
**[05:50] Sunraku**
And since it involves a unique scenario,
it might be hard to get you there.
**[05:54] Sunraku**
I was hoping you'd let me
borrow that item of yours.
**[06:00] Oikatzo**
Okay.
**[06:01] Oikatzo**
Or so I'd like to say...
**[06:04] Oikatzo**
But I've got a condition.
**[06:06] Oikatzo**
I wanna know the unlock conditions for
that unique scenario you're hiding.
**[06:12] Pencilgon**
Come on, Katzo.
**[06:14] Oikatzo**
I mean, it's not like I'm
triggering my own unique stuff!
**[06:17] Oikatzo**
I gotta piggyback on everyone else's stuff!
**[06:20] Pencilgon**
You sulk about the most annoying things.
**[06:23] Pencilgon**
*In* SLF*, information on uniques
is extremely valuable.*
**[06:28] Pencilgon**
*Even more so for those with monopolies on it.*
**[06:32] Pencilgon**
* The three of us didn't come together*
* purely out of a sense of camaraderie.*
**[06:36] Pencilgon**
* To protect our own profits,*
* we won't share information easily.*
**[06:41] Pencilgon**
*And... the same goes for Katzo-kun.*
**[06:48] Sunraku**
It's not like it showed me the
conditions when I unlocked it,
**[06:51] Sunraku**
so I can only explain my
own situation at the time.
**[06:54] Sunraku**
Is that enough?
**[06:56] Oikatzo**
You mean it?
**[06:57] Sunraku**
Don't act so shocked.
You're the one who asked.
**[07:00] Sunraku**
I didn't wanna reveal this stuff,
**[07:02] Sunraku**
but you want a show of good faith, right?
**[07:05] Sunraku**
And like I just said, I don't have any
proof that these are the conditions.
**[07:12] Sunraku**
All right, here I go.
**[07:17] Sunraku**
What I did was...
***SIGN*** Unique Monster
Lycagon the Nightslayer
Encountered
**[07:24] (Flashback) Voice**
Unique monster, Lycagon the
Nightslayer, encountered.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Unique... monster?
**[07:34] Sunraku**
At level 20 or less,
**[07:36] Sunraku**
I lasted five minutes without taking damage
**[07:39] Sunraku**
against the randomly encountered unique
monster, Lycagon the Nightslayer,
**[07:43] Sunraku**
then landed around 200 critical
hits with a vorpal weapon.
**[07:48] Oikatzo**
You expect me to do that?!
**[07:50] Oikatzo**
You acrobatic asshole!
**[07:53] Sunraku**
What are you mad at me for?!
**[07:55] Pencilgon**
It's like if he asked you how you fly,
**[07:57] Pencilgon**
and you told him to work out his pecs!
**[08:01] Oikatzo**
You think there's no harm in telling me
because there's no chance I'll do it, right?!
**[08:05] Sunraku**
Hey, this isn't fair!
**[08:06] Sunraku**
I gave you a genuine answer!
**[08:08] Oikatzo**
Fine, whatever!
**[08:09] Oikatzo**
Just take the stupid thing already.
**[08:11] Sunraku**
Hey!
**[08:12] Pencilgon**
Oh, right. Sunraku-kun...
**[08:16] Sunraku**
What now?
**[08:17] Pencilgon**
Could I get back that thing I left with you?
**[08:21] Oikatzo**
What thing?
**[08:22] Sunraku**
Oh, right. Forgot I hadn't done that.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
Hey, Sunraku-kun.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
Could you hang onto this for a while?
**[08:34] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Um, sure.
***SIGN*** Item ownership has been transferred.
***SIGN*** Reward Scales
**[08:46] Oikatzo**
That thing you were messing with
in the Wethermon fight, right?
**[08:49] Oikatzo**
You said you'd borrowed it, right?
***SIGN*** Item ownership has been transferred.
**[08:53] Pencilgon**
From an NPC organization
called the Golden Scales.
**[08:57] Pencilgon**
I think it's part of one of the highest
classes of items in all *Shangri-La Frontier*.
**[09:03] Pencilgon**
Theoretically, if you throw in enough money,
**[09:04] Pencilgon**
you can get stats even higher
than those of a unique monster.
**[09:09] Pencilgon**
You'd need the budget of a small
country to do it, of course.
**[09:12] Pencilgon**
It seems the Inventoria can't
be removed once it's equipped,
**[09:15] Pencilgon**
so I'd expected it to be sold off...
**[09:18] Oikatzo**
What? Really?
**[09:20] Oikatzo**
Right, they did mention it
becoming a part of your body...
**[09:25] Pencilgon**
Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have been
taken, even as part of the PKK penalty.
**[09:30] Pencilgon**
But this is the one thing I didn't
want to lose, so I laundered it.
**[09:35] Both**
Laundered it?
**[09:37] Pencilgon**
A little trick to keep your items
from being lost to the penalty.
**[09:41] Pencilgon**
The penalty for PKing means
that when you're killed,
**[09:44] Pencilgon**
ownership of your items transfers
to the person who killed you.
**[09:47] Pencilgon**
And you have to pay a fee in proportion
to your wrongdoing—your karma points.
**[09:53] Pencilgon**
I think it sets your affection levels from
most NPCs to the lowest level possible,
**[09:58] Pencilgon**
too, but that's fine.
**[09:59] Pencilgon**
The fee this time was pretty annoying.
**[10:03] (Flashback) Pencilgon**
Oh, no!
**[10:06] Pencilgon**
When you're killed,
even items kept in storage will be
***SIGN*** Pencilgon's Storage
**[10:09] Pencilgon**
automatically seized and sold off
to help pay off the fee.
***SIGN*** Sold Off
***SIGN*** Repayment
**[10:14] Pencilgon**
Protecting certain items from this
seizure is called "laundering."
**[10:19] Oikatzo**
So instead of putting them in storage,
**[10:21] Oikatzo**
you gave them to Sunraku
before Psyger-0 killed you?
**[10:24] Sunraku**
You can actually do that?
**[10:26] Sunraku**
Seems like a pretty big exploit...
**[10:27] Pencilgon**
No. Even if you hand over the item,
**[10:30] Pencilgon**
it'll still search through
your history and sell it off.
**[10:33] Oikatzo**
Huh?
**[10:34] Oikatzo**
Then why didn't the Scales go away?
**[10:38] Pencilgon**
The Scales aren't really mine.
**[10:39] Pencilgon**
Their ownership fundamentally
lies with The Golden Scales.
**[10:45] Pencilgon**
What matters here is that
**[10:46] Pencilgon**
items you don't have ownership of
won't be automatically sold off.
**[10:51] Pencilgon**
But you can't transfer ownership just
by handing an item to someone else.
**[10:56] Pencilgon**
So when Psyger-0 killed me,
even if I'd been carrying the Scales,
**[11:06] Pencilgon**
their ownership by The Golden
Scales wouldn't have changed.
**[11:09] Pencilgon**
So they wouldn't have been sold off;
they'd probably just be dropped as an object.
**[11:13] Sunraku**
I think I get the idea,
but how's that laundering?
**[11:17] Sunraku**
Isn't it just the Scales falling
outside the standard penalty purview?
**[11:22] Pencilgon**
You can exploit that property to
do some very interesting things.
**[11:26] Pencilgon**
"The scales preserve the balance.
**[11:29] Pencilgon**
Let the past be my payment,
and return what has been offered."
***SIGN*** Tome of Truth: The Tombguard
***SIGN*** Flower Pin of Bygone Prayers
**[11:42] Sunraku**
That's the Tome of Truth and...
What's the flower thing?
**[11:46] Pencilgon**
My loot from the Wethermon fight.
**[11:49] Pencilgon**
Looks like the three of us each
got slightly different items.
***SIGN*** Clear Sky Skillbook
**[11:55] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Let's see... "Clear Sky Skillbook"?
***SIGN*** Clear Sky Skillbook
A digital record of sword techniques
left by a Divinity-era swordsmaster.
**[11:59] Pencilgon**
I offered the Flower Pin of Bygone Prayers
and the Tome of Truth to the Scales.
**[12:06] Pencilgon**
In that instant, ownership of the
Pin transferred to the Scales,
***SIGN*** Ownership
***SIGN*** Offering
**[12:11] Pencilgon**
which meant they no longer
had physical existence.
**[12:15] Sunraku**
So they couldn't be seized?
**[12:19] Pencilgon**
Right.
**[12:20] Oikatzo**
And it actually let you get 'em back?
**[12:23] Pencilgon**
If you pay the price within one week,
you can retrieve the items.
**[12:27] Pencilgon**
Of course, I had to give up
40 levels to make it happen...
**[12:32] Pencilgon**
But if it means I get to keep this pin,
I won't miss them.
**[12:39] Pencilgon**
On top of that, in order
to rent out these Scales,
**[12:42] Pencilgon**
I used my main weapon as collateral!
**[12:45] Pencilgon**
The Scales' power transferred its ownership
to the organization, so it's also safe!
**[12:52] Sunraku**
So much for wiping the slate
clean on your crimes...
**[12:55] Oikatzo**
So, how much was the fee?
**[12:57] Pencilgon**
A good 500 million mahni.
**[12:59] Sunraku**
You won't get it outta me.
**[13:00] Pencilgon**
I don't need to borrow it.
**[13:01] Pencilgon**
I can totally afford it.
**[13:04] Pencilgon**
The most recent fight proved it to me.
**[13:07] Sunraku**
Proved what?
**[13:09] Pencilgon**
Hunting unique monsters is
a profitable enterprise.
**[13:13] Sunraku**
As simple as that, huh?
**[13:17] Pencilgon**
On that point, I have a proposal.
**[13:22] Pencilgon**
Would you two like...
**[13:25] Pencilgon**
to form a clan with me?
**[13:46] Pencilgon**
Rock...
**[13:47] Oikatzo**
Paper...
**[13:48] Trio**
Scissors!
**[13:51] Both**
Yeah! Pencilgon loses!
**[13:54] Sunraku**
That means Pencilgon's our clan leader!
**[13:57] Oikatzo**
Oh, yeah!
**[14:00] Pencilgon**
Best out of three!
**[14:01] Both**
Nothing doing!
**[14:04] Pencilgon**
I should've known I couldn't beat
their reaction speed...
**[14:08] Both**
Just figuring that out, are you?!
***SIGN*** Smug
**[14:14] Pencilgon**
I'm not cut out to be a
leader... but ah, well.
**[14:17] Sunraku**
Okay, Leader!
Here's your first job.
**[14:21] Sunraku**
What should our clan name be?
***SIGN*** Unique Hunters
***SIGN*** Outrage
***SIGN*** Trash Game Alliance
***SIGN*** Wolfgang
***SIGN*** Gold Rush
***SIGN*** Pike-Mounted Heads
***SIGN*** Pencilgon-chan
and Her Errandboys
**[14:31] Pencilgon**
Okay.
**[14:33] Pencilgon**
What about this one, then?
**[14:36] Oikatzo**
Sounds good to me. Pretty cool.
**[14:38] Sunraku**
I'd have been okay with
"Pencilgon-chan and Her Errandboys," myself.
**[14:43] Oikatzo**
I would not have.
***SIGN*** Unique Hunters
***SIGN*** Outrage
***SIGN*** Trash Game Alliance
***SIGN*** Gold Rush
***SIGN*** Pike-Mounted Heads
***SIGN*** Pencilgon-chan
and Her Errandboys
**[14:45] Pencilgon**
All right, my fellows.
**[14:47] Pencilgon**
Let's ready our drinks.
**[14:50] Pencilgon**
We will henceforth become
wolves venturing through the
**[14:53] Pencilgon**
world of *Shangri-La Frontier*
in search of unique monsters—
***SIGN*** Wolfgang
**[14:58] Pencilgon**
And in celebration of Clan
Wolfgang's founding...
**[15:01] Trio**
A toast!
**[15:09] Oikatzo**
So, what'll our emblem be?
**[15:13] Sunraku**
I think that one...
**[15:14] Sunraku**
should be up to Pencilgon!
**[15:15] Oikatzo**
Get to it, Leader!
**[15:16] Pencilgon**
Stop making me do everything!
**[15:20] Schwarz Vulf A**
Didn't know there was a pub back here...
**[15:23] Pencilgon**
I figure it can just be whatever.
**[15:25] Sunraku**
Same here.
**[15:26] Oikatzo**
C'mon, man.
**[15:27] Oikatzo**
If we're gonna make a guild,
at least think stuff over!
**[15:30] Schwarz Vulf A**
Wow, there's basically no one here.
**[15:33] Schwarz Vulf A**
Hey, you guys.
**[15:36] Schwarz Vulf A**
I've got a question for you.
**[15:38] Schwarz Vulf A**
I've been searching for the trio
**[15:40] Schwarz Vulf A**
who beat the unique monster
from that recent announcement.
**[15:44] Schwarz Vulf A**
Their names are
***SIGN*** Arthur Pencilgon
**[15:46] Schwarz Vulf A**
Arthur Pencilgon,
**[15:48] Schwarz Vulf A**
Oikatzo,
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
**[15:50] Schwarz Vulf A**
and Sunraku...
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[15:57] Trio**
Never heard of 'em!
**[16:00] Schwarz Vulf A**
Hey!
**[16:01] Sunraku**
Hey, Leader!
I thought you rented the place out!
**[16:04] Pencilgon**
I don't recall ever saying that!
**[16:07] Pencilgon**
I just said barely anyone ever went there!
**[16:10] Oikatzo**
Well, it's good timing.
**[16:11] Oikatzo**
Let's call the meeting to a close.
**[16:13] Oikatzo**
My level dropped,
thanks to the Evil Force and all,
**[16:16] Oikatzo**
so I'd like to do some leveling, myself.
**[16:18] Pencilgon**
Yeah, and I should turn in the
Scales and get my main weapon back.
**[16:23] Pencilgon**
You handle the reactor stuff, Sunraku-kun!
**[16:26] Sunraku**
You got it!
**[16:27] Sunraku**
And you figure out that emblem!
**[16:29] Oikatzo**
Later!
**[16:31] Schwarz Vulf A**
They split up!
**[16:33] Schwarz Vulf A**
Hey, player named Sunraku!
**[16:35] Schwarz Vulf A**
Wait! Don't run away!
**[16:38] Sunraku**
Terribly sorry!
**[16:39] Sunraku**
My name's not Sunraku! It's Samraku!
**[16:42] Schwarz Vulf A**
You liar!
**[16:45] Sunraku**
Here we go!
**[16:49] Sunraku**
I'm back, Emul!
**[16:52] Sunraku**
Open a gate, would you?
**[16:56] Emul**
You're late, Sunraku-san!
**[16:58] Emul**
Positively tardy!
**[17:00] Sunraku**
Now, now. I'll explain later.
**[17:04] Emul**
Harrumph!
**[17:05] Sunraku**
Right, that creepy sword.
**[17:09] Sunraku**
I forgot to hand it back to Pencilgon.
**[17:13] Sunraku**
Well, next time.
**[17:15] Schwarz Vulf A**
You chose the wrong escape route, buddy!
**[17:17] Schwarz Vulf A**
You're heading right for a dead end!
**[17:19] Schwarz Vulf A**
I just wanna ask you some questions.
**[17:21] Schwarz Vulf A**
You don't have to run—
**[17:24] Schwarz Vulf A**
Hey, he's gone.
**[17:29] Schwarz Vulf A**
Where'd he go?
**[17:33] Sunraku**
Huh? Aniki Vash isn't here?
**[17:36] Emul**
I haven't seen Dadd—the boss
since the day he spoke to you.
**[17:42] Sunraku**
Got it.
**[17:43] Sunraku**
So he's not necessarily
always at the Palace, huh?
**[17:46] Sunraku**
I was hoping to go see him after I did my
skill fusions and point distributions...
**[17:56] Elke**
You successfully learned
your new skills, I see.
**[18:00] Elke**
Hey, bird-man...
**[18:02] Elke**
Would you like to peruse my skill grimoires?
**[18:07] Sunraku**
I'm kinda broke.
***SIGN*** mahni
**[18:10] Elke**
Hmph!
**[18:12] Sunraku**
*Don't "hmph" at me, lady.*
**[18:14] Sunraku**
* You were gonna rope me into a purchase*
* the minute you saw a chance,*
**[18:16] Sunraku**
*you money-grubbing bunny.*
**[18:19] Emul**
Well, where shall we go next?
**[18:23] Sunraku**
Who else besides Aniki could
fix the Ether Reactor?
**[18:29] Sunraku**
Probably not Bilac, but I might as well ask.
**[18:33] Bilac**
Yeah, I can't fix that.
**[18:36] Sunraku**
Yeah, figured.
**[18:38] Bilac**
Only an Ancient Craftsman can
fix up stuff from the Divinity.
***SIGN*** Ancient Craftsman
**[18:42] Bilac**
I'm only a Master Craftsman.
***SIGN*** Master Craftsman
**[18:46] Bilac**
Pops is the only guy I know
who could handle this.
**[18:48] Sunraku**
So you need the "Ancient Craftsman" job?
**[18:51] Sunraku**
Ah, well.
**[18:53] Sunraku**
I'll forget the reactor for now,
and work on raising my fused skills.
**[18:58] Sunraku**
Raising?
**[19:00] Sunraku**
Growth?
**[19:03] Emul**
What is it?
**[19:05] Sunraku**
That's it!
**[19:06] Sunraku**
I just need to do some raising!
**[19:10] Sunraku**
If there's no Ancient Craftsman around,
**[19:12] Sunraku**
I just need to turn Bilac
into an Ancient Craftsman!
**[19:17] Bilac**
Don't underestimate the
Ancient Craftsman title!
**[19:18] Bilac**
It's not as easy as you make it sound!
**[19:21] Sunraku**
I'm not telling you to become a
Divine Craftsman like Aniki Vash.
***SIGN*** Divine Craftsman
**[19:24] Sunraku**
Besides, it's a road you've
got to go down someday, right?
**[19:29] Sunraku**
Which means now is the time!
**[19:31] Sunraku**
Let's make a try at that
Ancient Craftsman title!
**[19:36] Bilac**
Make a try?
**[19:38] Sunraku**
I'm not saying this out of a lack of faith.
**[19:40] Sunraku**
I'm saying it with full
confidence in your skills!
**[19:43] Sunraku**
And I'll help you, of course!
**[19:46] Emul**
Big Sis Bee, I know you can do it!
**[19:52] Bilac**
Me, an Ancient Craftsman?
**[20:00] Bilac**
You got it, bird-man.
**[20:03] Bilac**
I'll play along.
**[20:05] Bilac**
I'm gonna become an Ancient Craftsman!
**[20:07] Emul**
Yay, Big Sis Bee!
**[20:10] Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[20:12] Sunraku**
Let's start the plan to cultivate Bilac!
**[20:15] Emul**
Yes, indeed!
**[20:16] Bilac**
Y-Yeah!
***SIGN*** SLF Mini
**[21:50] Kids**
*SLF* Theater!
***SIGN*** Making Oikatzo
**[21:54] Emul**
Mini!
***SIGN*** SLF Theater
**[22:00] Kei**
That seems decent for my appearance.
**[22:02] Kei**
I get the feeling they'll tease me
about the female avatar, though.
**[22:07] Kei**
Or maybe they'll totally ignore it?
**[22:09] Kei**
Okay, let's go with it.
***SIGN*** Please input name.
**[22:11] Kei**
Name...
**[22:13] Kei**
It's gotta have "Katzo" in there.
**[22:16] Kei**
Modor Katzo. Katzo Bushi.
***SIGN*** Modor Katzo
***SIGN*** Katzo Bushi
**[22:19] Kei**
After that should be...
**[22:24] Kei**
They've been playing *SLF* for a while.
**[22:27] Kei**
That means I'll be playing catch-up with 'em.
**[22:31] Kei**
Pursue. "Oi."
**[22:34] Kei**
Oikatzo, then.
***SIGN*** Please input name.
***SIGN*** Oikatzo
**[22:39] Kei**
Nice to meet you.
**[22:41] Kei**
Actually, that's not quite right...
**[22:44] Kei**
"Let's work hard together as Oikatzo," maybe.
**[22:49] Kei**
I guess I'll pick Monk as my job.
**[22:52] Kei**
And for origin...
**[22:55] Kei**
"If you play as a Wanderer,
instead of starting in Firstia,
**[23:01] Kei**
you'll be dropped off somewhere in
the first area, the Rampant Forest."
**[23:06] Kei**
What kind of weirdo would
want to start off lost?
**[23:10] Kei**
Actually, I can imagine.
**[23:12] Kei**
I might even know someone like that...
**[23:17] Kei**
Okay, I'm getting a late start,
**[23:20] Kei**
but I'm gonna catch up in no time!
**[23:23] Kei**
Let's go, god-tier game, *Shangri-La Frontier*!*

The greatest of all games

earns the title of "god-tier game"!

Raising?
**[02:14] Sunraku**
Growth?
**[02:16] Sunraku**
That's it!
**[02:17] Sunraku**
I just need to do some raising!

**[02:44] Emul**
Yes, indeed!
**[02:46] Bilac**
Y-Yeah!
**[02:50] Emul**
So...
**[02:52] Emul**
What exactly is the plan
to cultivate Big Sis Bee?
**[02:55] Sunraku**
Huh? No clue.
**[02:57] Bilac**
Dumbass.
**[02:58] Sunraku**
Well, what do you expect?
**[03:00] Bilac**
Listen up.
**[03:01] Bilac**
To be an Ancient Craftsman,
you gotta get two things.
***SIGN*** Ancient Craftsman
**[03:06] Sunraku**
And what are those?
**[03:08] Bilac**
The first is a remnant from
the Divinity, a Legacy Weapon.
***SIGN*** Legacy Weapon
**[03:12] Bilac**
A weapons craftsman can't forge crap
with just speculation and theory.
**[03:17] Bilac**
And the other, according to Pops...
**[03:21] Bilac**
is a marjik oppleration zoonit.
**[03:27] Sunraku**
A "marjik oppleration zoonit"?
**[03:34] Sunraku**
Are you trying to say
"magic operations unit"?
***SIGN*** Magic Operations Unit
**[03:40] Bilac**
Yeah, maybe that's one way to say it.
**[03:43] Sunraku**
Pretty sure that's the only way to say it!
**[03:46] Bilac**
Point is!
**[03:48] Bilac**
If I'm gonna be an Ancient Craftsman,
I gotta have a working Legacy Weapon
**[03:52] Bilac**
and a marjik oppleration zoonit!
**[03:55] Bilac**
Get it?!
**[03:56] Bilac**
Neither is gonna be easy to find!
**[04:02] Sunraku**
A Legacy Weapon, huh?
**[04:04] Sunraku**
That'd be a weapon from
the Divinity era, right?
**[04:07] Emul**
Sunraku-san?
**[04:09] Sunraku**
'Scuse me a minute.
**[04:16] Emul**
Sunraku-san?!
**[04:17] Bilac**
Where'd that guy get off to?
**[04:25] Sunraku**
Here we go.
**[04:28] Sunraku**
A "Legacy Weapon" would be
something like this, right?
**[04:34] Bilac**
H-How'd you get your hands on this thing?!
**[04:39] Sunraku**
Just a little something I
got for beating Wethermon.
***SIGN*** Non-Standard Armament: Blade
Harbinger
**[04:44] Bilac**
That's a Legacy Weapon, all right...
**[04:49] Sunraku**
But you need a working one, right?
**[04:52] Sunraku**
I'm betting it won't gain "working" status
**[04:55] Sunraku**
until I fix this Ether Reactor thing.
**[05:00] Bilac**
The reason I need a working Legacy Weapon
to make myself an Ancient Craftsman,
**[05:06] Bilac**
is so I can learn techniques
from the Divinity.
**[05:11] Bilac**
I just need something in good enough
shape for me to figure out how it works.
**[05:17] Bilac**
One in this good o' shape
oughta do me just fine!
**[05:19] Sunraku**
Oh, great!
**[05:24] Bilac**
Okay, then...
**[05:26] Bilac**
Time to strip it down!
**[05:29] Sunraku**
Hey, wait a second!
**[05:30] Bilac**
What now? I'm all ready to go, here!
**[05:34] Sunraku**
Sorry...
**[05:35] Sunraku**
I can't let you break it down without
consent from a few other people.
**[05:39] Bilac**
Yeah?
**[05:41] Sunraku**
* Yeah... this Legacy Weapon*
* came from the Inventoria.*
**[05:47] Sunraku**
* Katzo and Pencilgon made it sound like the*
* weapons and armaments in the Inventoria*
***SIGN*** Non-Standard Armament: Wire
Keep-Out Wire
***SIGN*** Non-Standard Armament: Blade
Harbinger
**[05:54] Sunraku**
are shared between the three of us.
**[05:58] Sunraku**
Which means we all share possession of it.
**[06:02] Bilac**
Fine.
**[06:04] Bilac**
Then I guess you better find the other thing
I need, the marjik oppleration zoonit.
**[06:09] Bilac**
Let's see...
**[06:11] Bilac**
Pops says you can find one
in the Ruins of Past Glories.
**[06:15] Sunraku**
Hey, that's a pretty detailed map!
**[06:18] Sunraku**
Lemme see!
**[06:19] Bilac**
Hey.
**[06:21] Sunraku**
Okay... I'm departing out of Thirdrema, so...
***SIGN*** Prismatic Forest Grotto
**[06:26] Sunraku**
I'll pass through the Prismatic Forest
Grotto to the fourth city, Fourfolkshire.
***SIGN*** Fourfolkshire
**[06:32] Sunraku**
Then I'll pass through the Canyon of Ancient
Souls to the eighth city, Eighthold.
***SIGN*** Canyon of Ancient Souls
***SIGN*** Eighthold
**[06:37] Sunraku**
From there, halfway to
the 11th city, Eleventar,
***SIGN*** Eleventar
**[06:42] Sunraku**
is our destination,
the Ruins of Past Glories.
***SIGN*** Ruins of Past Glories
**[06:46] Sunraku**
Looks like there's a lot of
path splits after Thirdrema.
**[06:50] Sunraku**
It'll be a pretty straightforward
route, but it'll be a long way.
***SIGN*** The Lightless Barrens
**[06:56] Sunraku**
Wait, just past Eleventar...
**[06:59] Sunraku**
The Lightless Barrens?!
***SIGN*** Bonus Unique Scenario
Vorpal Epic
Items Needed
Receiver Delta
Positioner Delta
Transmitter Delta
**[07:01] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Let's see... Items needed...
**[07:04] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Receiver Delta, Positioner Delta,
Transmitter Delta...
**[07:10] (Flashback) Sunraku**
I think I get the gist, but where do
I even start looking for these things?
**[07:14] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Surely you're not going
to send me out blind...
**[07:17] (Flashback) Vysache**
Right.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Vysache**
Check out a place called
the Lightless Barrens.
**[07:23] Sunraku**
That's the place Aniki Vash said
**[07:25] Sunraku**
would have the items I need
for my bonus unique scenario!
**[07:30] Sunraku**
Is this fate conspiring
to send me right to it?!
**[07:32] Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[07:34] Sunraku**
I'm super hype for this now!
**[07:36] Sunraku**
Let's get moving!
**[07:39] Bilac**
Hang on a sec.
**[07:40] Bilac**
I gotta pack for the trip.
**[07:44] Sunraku**
Oh, cool! Bilac's coming, too?
**[07:48] Sunraku**
Though that does raise the question...
**[07:50] Sunraku**
How do I get out of the city,
carting two rabbits around?
**[07:54] Sunraku**
I can sort of hide Emul by wearing
her around my neck, but...
**[07:58] Sunraku**
Maybe Bilac's gonna have to chug MP
recovery items to maintain a human form?
**[08:02] Bilac**
Oh, I can't transform into a human.
**[08:04] Sunraku**
What, really? What do we do, then?
**[08:06] Bilac**
Well, I can't become a human, but...
**[08:19] Bilac**
Let's do this, Emul!
**[08:21] Emul**
Righty-o!
**[08:24] Bilac**
Behold our powers of camouflage!
**[08:27] Emul**
Yes, indeed!
**[08:37] Bilac**
You got yourself a perfect fur coat...
**[08:39] Emul**
...and fashionable scarf.
**[08:42] Sunraku**
Okay, whatever.
**[08:43] Bilac**
Okay! Let's head through Fourfolkshire
and on to the Canyon of Ancient Souls!
**[08:48] Bilac**
Get moving, bird-man!
**[08:49] Sunraku**
Could you at least learn my name?
**[08:51] Emul**
Yes, let us away!
**[08:54] Sunraku**
First, though...
**[08:59] Sunraku**
Gotta set my respawn point
in the Palace of Rabituza...
**[09:04] Voice**
*Respawn point registered.*
***SIGN*** Respawn point registered
**[09:07] sign**
Prismatic Forest Grotto
**[09:08] Sunraku**
Okay, let's move!
***SIGN*** Fourfolkshire
**[09:18] Narrator**
The Canyon of Ancient Souls.
**[09:21] Narrator**
The site of the last battle
in a war that occurred
**[09:24] Narrator**
before humanity was as advanced as it is now.
**[09:28] Narrator**
Ironically, the fighting had to be called
off due to the arrival of monsters,
**[09:35] Narrator**
but the large number of dead it produced
caused miasma to cover the land,
**[09:40] Narrator**
turning it into a nesting ground for
undead creatures who despise the living.
**[09:44] Emul**
Even now, it remains a
grave danger to pioneers,
**[09:49] Emul**
infested with undead and
curses... so they say.
**[09:52] Sunraku**
Don't tell me what they say!
**[09:54] Sunraku**
I told you to keep talk
to a bare minimum in town.
***SIGN*** Fourth City
Fourfolkshire
***SIGN*** Item Shop
**[10:16] Bilac**
You'll be in it deep, without a cleric
or holy items to fend off that miasma.
**[10:23] Sunraku**
Yeah, I know.
**[10:25] Sunraku**
If you spend too much time in miasma
you end up with "Hexed" status, right?
***SIGN*** Hexed
Reduces max HP and stats by a certain percentage
**[10:30] Sunraku**
That's why we ducked into this item shop.
**[10:33] Sunraku**
I'm gonna get the items I
need, then blow this town.
**[10:39] Sunraku**
Holy Water's pricey!
**[10:43] Sunraku**
Although...
**[10:44] Sunraku**
I might only need to buy anti-miasma
stuff for you two guys.
***SIGN*** Fourfolkshire
***SIGN*** Canyon of Ancient Souls
**[11:04] Sunraku**
Okay, got it. So this is the
Canyon of Ancient Souls...
**[11:13] Sunraku**
Just like you described it...
**[11:16] Sunraku**
The air quality looks awful.
***SIGN*** Canyon of Ancient Souls
**[11:39] Bilac**
Hang on a sec.
**[11:41] Bilac**
How'd you get that aura
of clean air around you?
**[11:45] Sunraku**
Noticed, did you?
**[11:47] Sunraku**
It's the effect of the
mark Lycagon put on me!
**[11:51] Sunraku**
Any spell or curse from a source weaker
than that dog gets canceled out!
**[11:56] Bilac**
It can even nullify miasma?!
**[11:59] Sunraku**
That said...
**[12:00] Bilac**
That said...?
***SIGN*** Wyvern Zombie
**[12:15] Emul**
Sunraku-san! It's a Wyvern Zombie!
**[12:18] Sunraku**
Dang, looks stinky.
**[12:36] Bilac**
D-Did that happen because of the mark, too?
**[12:39] Sunraku**
Yep.
**[12:40] Sunraku**
Anything lower level than me just runs away.
**[12:44] Sunraku**
Too bad. I've got plenty of new
skills I'd love to test out...
**[13:00] Sunraku**
Hey, Emul.
**[13:02] Sunraku**
I think that major level-up
Wethermon handed me
**[13:05] Sunraku**
might have left me a tad overpowered.
**[13:08] Emul**
It does appear that way!
**[13:10] Bilac**
"Keep your hands off the
Night Emperor's prey," huh?
**[13:14] Bilac**
They're a buncha cowards, if you ask me.
**[13:18] Bilac**
Those Wyvern Zombies are so damn scared,
they even forgot they could fly.
**[13:22] Sunraku**
Guess this might just be a
short stroll to the area boss.
**[13:25] Emul**
Impressive as ever, Sunraku-san!
**[13:28] Bilac**
Still, it's kinda too bad.
**[13:30] Bilac**
I was hoping for a chance
to flex my skills, here.
**[13:33] Sunraku**
Y'know, I forgot to check
out your stats, Bilac.
**[13:36] Sunraku**
Are you even any good in a fight?
**[13:38] Bilac**
What'd you say?!
**[13:40] Bilac**
You saying I'm no good? Huh?!
**[13:42] Sunraku**
I was kidding, I swear.
**[13:53] Emul**
It didn't run from Sunraku-san on sight!
**[13:56] Emul**
It must be a powerful foe!
**[13:57] Sunraku**
That could be the case...
**[13:59] Sunraku**
Or maybe he just can't see me.
**[14:02] Sunraku**
He's got no head, see?
***SIGN*** Rare Enemy
Dullahan General
**[14:12] Emul**
H-He's letting us attack first!
**[14:15] Sunraku**
Maybe we can talk things out with the guy!
**[14:17] Bilac**
Yeah, right! A dullahan
don't even got a mouth!
**[14:21] Sunraku**
Yeah, fair point.
**[14:26] Emul**
He's readied his sword!
**[14:28] Sunraku**
Okay...
**[14:29] Sunraku**
Let's hunt a dullahan!
***SIGN*** Empire Bee Twinblades
equipped.
**[14:35] Bilac**
Sounds good to me.
**[14:40] Bilac**
Time to show off what I got!
**[14:42] Sunraku**
Yeah! Looking forward to it, Bilac!
**[14:45] Emul**
Yeah, Big Sis Bee!
**[14:46] Emul**
I'm greatly looking forward to it!
**[14:48] Sunraku**
Mimicking me!
**[14:49] Emul**
Y-You just said what I
was going to, that's all!
**[14:51] Bilac**
Quit messing around. We've got incoming!
**[15:04] Bilac**
Here it comes!
**[15:05] Sunraku**
Got it!
**[15:07] Sunraku**
Ignition!
**[15:09] Sunraku**
Time to try out my new skills!
**[15:13] Sunraku**
You better handle your own
miasma countermeasures!
**[15:15] Bilac**
No worries there!
**[15:24] Emul**
I-It isn't safe!
**[15:26] Sunraku**
Keep your ears tucked, Emul!
**[15:43] Sunraku**
If Lycagon's Mark didn't chase it off,
**[15:46] Sunraku**
it must be a powerful opponent
with a higher level than me.
**[15:51] Sunraku**
But somehow, I don't feel threatened at all.
**[15:56] Sunraku**
Maybe it's because I already fought
the ultimate mounted warrior.
**[16:02] Sunraku**
First, let's get you off that horse!
**[16:14] Sunraku**
Okay, now!
**[16:16] Sunraku**
Vorpal Blade Tech!
***SIGN*** Vorpal Blade Tech

Watch yourself, buddy!
**[16:32] Sunraku**
If you try to turn around
when you're off-balance...
**[16:42] Bilac**
A dead body's bound to be light.
**[16:45] Bilac**
Bet I can send you flying...
**[16:48] Bilac**
So get going, pal!
**[16:50] Bilac**
Megaton Swing!
***SIGN*** Megaton Swing
**[16:58] Sunraku**
Hey, nice hang time!
**[17:01] Emul**
Impressive as ever, Big Sis Bee!
**[17:04] Sunraku**
Don't let her show you up, Emul!
**[17:06] Sunraku**
We need a follow-up! Get a spell ready!
**[17:09] Emul**
I'll have Add Spell ready to go!
**[17:11] Sunraku**
Moon Jumper...
***SIGN*** Moon Jumper

**[17:15] Sunraku**
Six-Boat Leap!
**[17:17] sign**
Six-Boat Leap
**[17:24] Sunraku**
You wanna handle it yourself, eh?
**[17:36] Sunraku**
Playing second fiddle to an NPC...
**[17:38] Sunraku**
Any trash gamer needs to know when to do it.
**[17:41] Sunraku**
Sounds good to me!
**[17:43] Sunraku**
It's been thirty seconds.
**[17:45] Sunraku**
Ignition oughta be warmed up by now.
**[17:48] Sunraku**
Time to turn on the gas!
**[17:50] Sunraku**
Ignition!
***SIGN*** Ignition
**[17:53] Sunraku**
And with my luck in the
triple digits at last...
**[17:56] Sunraku**
I'll pull out my luck-based attack skill...
**[18:00] Sunraku**
Hand of Fortune!
***SIGN*** Hand of Fortune
**[18:08] Sunraku**
And then...
**[18:09] Sunraku**
I equip Emul to my arm!
**[18:13] Sunraku**
I call this...
**[18:14] Sunraku**
The Rabbit Gun!
***SIGN*** Rabbit Gun
**[18:15] Emul**
Th-This is hardly appropriate treatment!
**[18:19] Sunraku**
Fire, Emul!
**[18:20] Emul**
Magic Edge!
**[18:27] Sunraku**
Right on target!
**[18:29] Bilac**
Pretty weird way to fight,
**[18:31] Bilac**
but you put him right where I want him!
**[18:35] Bilac**
Hold your horses there, buddy!
**[18:38] Bilac**
I'm gonna return your master to ya.
**[18:51] Bilac**
Gotcha!
**[18:57] Bilac**
Titan Blast!
***SIGN*** Titan Blast
**[19:14] Sunraku**
Now that was a big boom!
**[19:17] Emul**
Big Sis Bee! You're so awesome!
**[19:25] Bilac**
Heck yeah!
**[19:28] Bilac**
Yeah, that's about right.
***SIGN*** Dropped Item
Dullahan General's Decapitator
**[19:34] Sunraku**
"Dullahan General's Decapitator," huh?
**[19:38] Sunraku**
Let's see...
***SIGN*** Dullahan General's Decapitator
**[19:40] Sunraku**
"Attacks to the head deal bonus damage."
**[19:44] Sunraku**
"A longsword that likely once held
great power, now rusted badly.
**[19:49] Sunraku**
It can only cleave flesh
through brute force alone."
**[19:52] Sunraku**
Aw, it's all rusty.
**[19:54] Sunraku**
The edge looks lousy, too.
**[19:56] Sunraku**
"The corpse which had already
lost its memories, its pride,
**[20:00] Sunraku**
and its love, even lost its head."
**[20:02] Sunraku**
"This is why the remaining
torso targets the heads
**[20:04] Sunraku**
of not just the living, but also the dead."
**[20:09] Sunraku**
An "If I can't have my head,
neither can any of you" sort of deal?
**[20:13] Sunraku**
Misery really does love company, I guess...
**[20:16] Sunraku**
Guess I'll sell it off.
**[20:17] Bilac**
Mind if I take a look at it?
**[20:19] Sunraku**
Oh, sure.
**[20:25] Bilac**
This sword's still got some life in it.
**[20:28] Bilac**
I'll restore it to its former glory later.
**[20:31] Sunraku**
Hey, right. You're a blacksmith and all.
**[20:35] Sunraku**
I forgot for a second there.
**[20:37] Bilac**
Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!
***SIGN*** Emul

Pretty strong...
**[20:53] Sunraku**
And right after I finally outlevel Emul...
**[20:57] Bilac**
That's experience I earned from smithing.
**[21:00] Bilac**
You've got more experience fighting, for sure.
**[21:03] Sunraku**
If you socked me in the face,
you'd probably break my neck.
**[21:07] Bilac**
Hey! Just what's that supposed to mean?!
**[21:10] Sunraku**
Silence is golden, as they say.
**[21:13] Emul**
As they say.
**[21:16] Bilac**
Emul.
**[21:18] Bilac**
You're starting to take after bird-man here.
**[21:22] Sunraku**
Okay, let's go!
**[21:23] Sunraku**
We gotta get to that boss, lickety-split!
**[21:32] Sunraku**
We'll need that magic operations unit to
make you an Ancient Craftsman, right, Bilac?
**[21:38] Sunraku**
Though I gotta say, the map here
**[21:40] Sunraku**
seems way more simple than the
other areas I've been to...
**[21:44] Emul**
Nevertheless, we need only to
proceed in a straight line!
**[21:48] Sunraku**
Yeah, it's easy-peasy!
**[23:27] Kids**
*SLF* Theater!

Sunraku!

Open your eyes!
**[23:46] Goddess**
Sunraku, you have been
reincarnated in another world.
**[23:50] Sunraku**
Um?
**[23:52] Goddess**
The trash game world!
**[23:53] Sunraku**
Um?
**[23:54] Goddess**
You must defeat the Demon King!
**[23:58] Sunraku**
Aren't you gonna move at all, Goddess?!
**[24:03] Sunraku**
* And thus, my brutal isekai*
* reincarnation began.*
**[24:10] Sunraku**
* The enemies' levels were*
* too high from the start.*
**[24:13] Sunraku**
What the hell? Huh? Huh?!
**[24:15] Sunraku**
I slipped halfway through the wall!
**[24:17] Sunraku**
* I was constantly getting trapped*
* in the game's geometry.*
**[24:20] Knight**
*Sunraku, leave this to me! Go on ahead!*
**[24:22] Knight**
Go on ahe— ea— ea— ea—
**[24:25] Sunraku**
Okay, that's freaky!
**[24:27] Sunraku**
Your head, man! Your head!
**[24:29] Sunraku**
* My allies couldn't maintain*
* a fully human form.*
**[24:32] Sunraku**
Wait. This is an isekai, right?
**[24:34] Sunraku**
Is it, really?
**[24:36] Sunraku**
* But I overcame all challenges and*
* at last arrived at the Demon King!*
**[24:41] Sunraku**
Okay, dude!
**[24:43] Sunraku**
I've been through hell and back!
I'm gonna murder your ass!
**[24:46] Demon King**
Congratulations on making
it this far, great hero!
**[24:56] Demon King**
But I am the Demon—
**[24:59] Sunraku**
Lag isn't a game issue,
it's a user connection issue!
**[25:05] Sunraku**
And that's when I woke up.
**[25:08] Sunraku**
Nothing like remembering how reality works
to wake you up from a dream, right?
**[25:12] Oikatzo**
I don't even know what to say to all of that.

**[01:30] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[01:31] (Flashback) Sunraku**
Let's start the plan to cultivate Bilac!
**[01:34] (Flashback) Emul**
Yes, indeed!
**[01:36] (Flashback) Bilac**
Y-Yeah!
**[01:38] (Flashback) Bilac**
Okay! Let's head through Fourfolkshire
and on to the Canyon of Ancient Souls!
**[01:43] (Flashback) Bilac**
Get moving, bird-man!
**[01:45] (Flashback) Sunraku**
We'll need that magic operations unit to
make you an Ancient Craftsman, right, Bilac?
***SIGN*** Bird with Rabbits vs. Skeletal Choir
***SIGN*** Canyon of Ancient Souls
**[01:58] Sunraku**
This area's been a real breeze, huh?
**[02:01] Bilac**
I'm betting the miasma
and the undead and stuff
**[02:04] Bilac**
would normally be a pain in the ass...
**[02:05] Emul**
But Sunraku-san's mark clears up the
miasma and chases the monsters away,
**[02:10] Emul**
so it's truly a walk in the park!
**[02:15] Sunraku**
On that note, would you guys...
**[02:18] Sunraku**
just walk on your own already?!
**[02:22] Emul**
Walking is far too troublesome!
**[02:24] Bilac**
You've got the Night Emperor's mark, buddy.
**[02:28] Bilac**
Clinging to you lets us conserve Holy Water.
**[02:30] Bilac**
So deal with it.
**[02:31] Sunraku**
What am I, your personal air purifier?
**[02:33] Bilac**
Just get walking.
**[02:37] Sunraku**
Half-naked with a bird head, walking through
miasma with rabbits on my shoulders...
**[02:43] Sunraku**
Not exactly my personal fantasy.
**[02:49] Sunraku**
Hey, what's going on overtop of the mist?
**[02:53] Sunraku**
Feels like we could climb up if we wanted...
**[02:55] Sunraku**
Would that make it even
easier to get to the end?
**[02:58] Bilac**
Might work out if you're feeling suicidal,
**[03:03] Bilac**
but I'll pass, myself.
**[03:05] Emul**
Atop the cliffs of the
Canyon of Ancient Souls
**[03:08] Emul**
lurk terrifying monsters known
as the Crystal Scorpions!
***SIGN*** Crystal Scorpion
**[03:13] Sunraku**
Crystal Scorpions?
**[03:16] Bilac**
They're a bunch of tough
nuts not even I could crack.
**[03:19] Bilac**
Crystal Scorpions attack as a swarm,
**[03:21] Bilac**
so if one sees you, you're dead.
**[03:24] Sunraku**
What, they're over level 100 or something?
**[03:27] Sunraku**
A shortcut for super-veterans, maybe?
**[03:39] Sunraku**
Thought I saw a figure moving just now...
**[03:43] Sunraku**
Was it just my imagination?
**[03:44] Bilac**
What was it? A Crystal Scorpion?!
**[03:47] Emul**
I hear that the sight of one means
dozens more are on their way!
**[03:52] Bilac**
Just get walking already!
**[03:54] Bilac**
We're after the area boss, remember?!
**[03:57] Sunraku**
Yeah, yeah, I get it!
**[04:01] Sunraku**
Crystal Scorpions, huh?
**[04:04] Sunraku**
Maybe I'll pick me a fight later on.
**[04:06] Bilac**
Didn't you hear what I just said?!
**[04:08] Emul**
Don't even joke about such a thing!
**[04:52] Sunraku**
What's this black dome thing?
**[04:54] Bilac**
Guess this is our destination.
**[04:57] Sunraku**
Looks like an area boss to me, yeah.
**[05:01] Sunraku**
There's not someone in there already, right?
**[05:03] Sunraku**
We've just gotta fight it in here?
**[05:06] Sunraku**
Then let's beat the thing
and move right along!
**[05:11] Emul**
Yes, let us!
**[05:13] Bilac**
Give it your best shot, bird-man!
**[05:53] Emul**
Sunraku-san—
**[05:56] Sunraku**
Well, well.
**[05:57] Bilac**
Yep.
**[06:03] Bilac**
That's what we're after.
**[06:09] Sunraku**
The kind of skelly jerk a
certain type is *really* into...
***SIGN*** Area Boss
Humming Lich
**[06:14] Sunraku**
Humming Lich.
**[06:16] Sunraku**
I'm getting "skeleton that
dishes out curses" vibes.
**[06:20] Sunraku**
So before it throws anything
too annoying at us...
**[06:22] Sunraku**
Strike first!
**[06:24] Bilac**
Hang on a minute!
**[06:25] Bilac**
That thing's—
**[06:34] Sunraku**
Huh? No hitbox?
**[06:36] Bilac**
You moron.
**[06:37] Bilac**
You need a holy-attribute weapon
to deal physical damage!
**[06:41] Sunraku**
Huh? But I don't got a holy-attribute weapon!
**[06:49] Emul**
What fearsome miasma!
**[06:52] Sunraku**
That kinda stings!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[06:54] Bilac**
It's the source of the miasma in the canyon.
**[06:57] Bilac**
You're being hit by all the
hatred and death around us!
**[06:59] Bilac**
It's more potent than ordinary miasma!
**[07:03] Bilac**
Hey... we're okay.
**[07:06] Emul**
Thanks to Sunraku-san's mark, no doubt!
**[07:09] Sunraku**
I did take a bit of damage, but that
debuff resistance is doing its work.
**[07:13] Sunraku**
Can't believe it works even
on an area boss's attacks.
**[07:17] Sunraku**
But wait, hang on...
**[07:18] Sunraku**
If neither of our attacks
works on the other one...
**[07:22] Sunraku**
Does that mean we're locked into a stalemate?
**[07:25] Sunraku**
What do we do?
**[07:26] Bilac**
I freaking told you to
prepare what you needed!
**[07:29] Bilac**
Honestly...
**[07:32] Bilac**
Guess I gotta do it.
**[07:34] Bilac**
Buy me some time, would ya?
**[07:39] Bilac**
I'm gonna rig us up a solution.
**[07:56] Emul**
S-Sunraku-san?!
**[07:58] Emul**
Why did you attach me to your arm?!
**[08:01] Sunraku**
You're the only one who can fight
this thing right now, Emul!
**[08:04] Sunraku**
Let's go with operation,
Rabbit Gun: Turret Palm!
***SIGN*** Rabbit Gun: Turret Palm
**[08:08] Emul**
Not again!
**[08:11] Sunraku**
I'll get you some carrots later.
**[08:12] Emul**
Carrots?!
**[08:20] Sunraku**
Don't worry. Our job is just to buy time.
**[08:23] Sunraku**
We don't gotta beat the thing.
**[08:25] Sunraku**
Still, the best defense is a good offense...
**[08:28] Sunraku**
So let's keep those attacks coming! Go, Emul!
**[08:33] Emul**
Righty-o!
**[08:37] Emul**
I'll do as I must!
**[08:40] Emul**
Magic Edge!
**[08:49] Sunraku**
Nice! It worked!
**[08:54] Sunraku**
Bilac-san!
**[08:55] Sunraku**
You maybe got an estimate on
how much longer you need?!
**[08:59] Bilac**
It's not like what I'm doing is easy, y'know?
**[09:02] Bilac**
Just hold on!
**[09:03] Sunraku**
You got it!
**[09:07] Bilac**
It's gonna be a rush job,
**[09:10] Bilac**
but I'm gonna turn this rusty
Dullahan General's Decapitator
**[09:14] Bilac**
into a weapon that can hurt the Humming Lich!
**[09:17] Bilac**
You ain't dead yet, buddy.
**[09:27] Emul**
Arms are coming out of the ground!
**[09:30] Sunraku**
Easy mode compared to
Wethermon's attack spam!
**[09:38] Sunraku**
Fire!
**[09:39] Emul**
R-Righty-o!
**[09:40] Emul**
Magic Edge!
**[09:44] Sunraku**
A hit!
**[10:13] Emul**
Th-There are seven of them now!
**[10:17] Sunraku**
And each one's holding a different weapon...
**[10:29] Emul**
G-Goodness gracious!
**[10:31] Sunraku**
Okay, avoiding all of them
at once is pretty annoying!
**[10:36] Emul**
They're coming!
**[10:39] Bilac**
Take it, bird-man!
**[10:58] Sunraku**
Hey, you really cleaned
up that rusty old blade!
**[11:02] Bilac**
I didn't have a forge or an anvil,
**[11:04] Bilac**
so it's not my best work,
but I polished it with holy water.
**[11:09] Bilac**
It'll do the job for
slicing up those reapers.
**[11:12] Bilac**
But it's also gotten way more fragile.
**[11:14] Bilac**
It's got eight swings at
most before it breaks.
**[11:18] Bilac**
Keep that in mind, got it?
**[11:20] Sunraku**
Translation: "Beat these things
in eight hits or less."
**[11:27] Sunraku**
Sounds like a challenge run to me.
**[11:44] Bilac**
What's that, singing?
**[11:46] Emul**
It's rather frightening!
**[11:50] Sunraku**
A singing skelly septet...
**[11:53] Sunraku**
Hence "Humming Lich."
**[11:56] Sunraku**
A pretty fitting name.
**[11:59] Sunraku**
It's only been eight minutes
since the battle kicked off.
**[12:05] Sunraku**
Bilac, grab on!
**[12:11] Bilac**
What's the plan, man?
**[12:12] Sunraku**
I gotta find out some things
about the clones first!
**[12:22] Sunraku**
Skill... Drift Step!
**[12:32] Bilac**
For a second there...
**[12:34] Sunraku**
Yeah, the main body didn't take
the damage, but it still reeled.
**[12:38] Sunraku**
Which means it's the type of monster
**[12:39] Sunraku**
where the original and the
clones all share an HP pool.
**[12:42] Sunraku**
And the fact that it reeled
like that from one hit
**[12:45] Sunraku**
suggests its HP is pretty low.
**[12:48] Sunraku**
I've got my plan all worked out.
**[12:50] Sunraku**
Emul!
**[12:51] Sunraku**
Bilac!
**[12:53] Sunraku**
Let me give you a quick rundown.
**[12:59] Bilac**
Th-The hell you say?
**[13:01] Bilac**
You want me to do *what*?
**[13:03] Sunraku**
Bilac. A weapon should be
wielded in pursuit of victory.
**[13:07] Sunraku**
If you can't win,
it's rude to the weapon, right?
**[13:13] Sunraku**
Now, get to it!
**[13:29] Sunraku**
It's been ten minutes now.
***SIGN*** Buff = Enhancement
**[13:31] Sunraku**
Let's get buffed up and ready to go!
**[13:32] Emul**
Ready to go!
**[13:36] Sunraku**
Emul! Blast the others outta
the way with your Magic Edge!
**[13:39] Emul**
Righty-o!
**[13:40] Sunraku**
The buff skill's got a limitation—
**[13:42] Sunraku**
I can't use it until ten
minutes after combat starts,
**[13:45] Sunraku**
so I couldn't use it against
the Dullahan General—
**[13:48] Sunraku**
"Overheat."
***SIGN*** Overheat
Can only activate
10 minutes after combat starts.
Adds a bonus to all stats
for five minutes,
but halves all stats after that.
**[13:51] Sunraku**
Combine it with Nitro Gain!
***SIGN*** Nitro Gain
Time to use: 1 second
In exchange for taking 20%
of max HP as damage,
increases STR and AGI.
**[13:56] Sunraku**
This skill's real value isn't in its buffs,
**[13:58] Sunraku**
but in the damage control it allows
with its 20%-of-max-HP cost.
***SIGN*** Sunraku
***SIGN*** Overheat
Climax Boost
Nitro Gain
**[14:02] Sunraku**
HP management that lets me
use Climax Boost at will...
**[14:10] Emul**
Magic Edge!
**[14:18] Sunraku**
Great, you cleared me a path!
**[14:20] Sunraku**
Let's start with that annoying archer!
**[14:24] Sunraku**
Six-Boat Leap!
**[14:27] Sunraku**
And the special attribute
of the Decapitator...
**[14:35] Sunraku**
Attacks to the head deal extra damage!
**[14:38] Sunraku**
That, plus all the buffs and a critical hit
**[14:41] Sunraku**
can take each clone in one strike!
**[14:44] Sunraku**
Let's go, Emul!
**[14:45] Sunraku**
Next up, the axe-wielder!
**[14:46] Emul**
Understood!
**[14:49] Sunraku**
Five clones and the main body left.
**[14:51] Sunraku**
And I've got seven attacks.
**[14:54] Emul**
Magic Edge!
**[15:05] Sunraku**
I've got one more limitation on me.
**[15:07] Sunraku**
After five minutes pass, the effect of
Overheat will drop my stats way down,
**[15:13] Sunraku**
and I won't be able to slay
them in one hit anymore.
**[15:15] Sunraku**
That's why...
**[15:17] Sunraku**
I'll finish this before that happens!
**[15:25] Bilac**
He's got Emul's support and all,
**[15:28] Bilac**
but he can dodge all those
attacks and even counter?
**[15:31] Bilac**
No wonder that guy beat a damn Colossus...
**[15:35] Bilac**
Sounds good to me.
**[15:37] Bilac**
I'm down for your plan!
**[15:47] Sunraku**
I've got two attacks left.
**[15:51] Sunraku**
And that just leaves...
**[15:52] Sunraku**
The main body with the staff!
**[16:04] Sunraku**
Get to work, Emul!
**[16:06] Emul**
Doing what?!
**[16:13] Sunraku**
Finishing it off, duh!
**[16:18] Emul**
Magic Edge!
**[16:22] Sunraku**
Nice work, Emul!
**[16:24] Sunraku**
Skill...
***SIGN*** Glowing Pierce
***SIGN*** Glowing Pierce
**[16:27] Sunraku**
Glowing Pierce!
**[16:32] Sunraku**
Yeah, figures I couldn't finish
the main body off by myself.
**[16:36] Bilac**
You held out well, Decapitator.
**[16:40] Bilac**
Sorry...
**[16:41] Bilac**
But hang in there for one more hit!
**[16:45] Sunraku**
Finish it off, Bilac!
**[16:48] Sunraku**
Six-Boat Leap!
**[16:49] Bilac**
All right, here I go!
**[16:53] Bilac**
Material Focus...
**[16:55] Bilac**
into...
**[16:58] Bilac**
Fortress Breaker!
***SIGN*** Fortress Breaker
***SIGN*** Fortress Breaker
**[17:13] Sunraku**
Hell yeah!
**[17:15] Sunraku**
The Human...
**[17:16] Sunraku**
No, the *Rabbit* Pile Bunker did the job!
***SIGN*** Rabbit Pile Bunker
**[17:20] Sunraku**
After I heard Katzo and Pencilgon
talk about the battle with Kirin...
**[17:24] Sunraku**
I always wanted to try that one out!
**[17:30] Sunraku**
Ow!
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[17:35] Sunraku**
You idiot! You almost killed me!
**[17:38] Emul**
You're the one who threw
me up there, Sunraku-san!
***SIGN*** Har-
rumph
**[17:41] Bilac**
Quit goofing around, you two!
**[17:47] Bilac**
Looks like I might still
be able to patch you up.
**[17:50] Bilac**
Not right this moment, but...
**[17:53] Bilac**
Hey, you guys! Hurry us up to Eighthold!
**[17:55] Sunraku**
C'mon, at least let me
leisurely browse my loot!
***SIGN*** Dropped Item
Grudge Bone Fragment
A hideous bone fragment,
soaked to its marrow with hatred.
Has various shamanistic uses.
Its grudge cannot be alleviated,
because the nature of grudges
is to be indiscriminate.
**[18:00] Sunraku**
Sounds like this item's for Shaman stuff, though.
**[18:03] Sunraku**
Can't think of how I'd use it.
**[18:08] Sunraku**
Is it just me, or has the fog started lifting?
**[18:11] Emul**
Naturally, as the source
of the miasma is slain.
**[18:18] Emul**
Sunraku-san. I feel like you're
thinking something terribly wicked.
**[18:22] Sunraku**
Heavens! Perish the thought!
**[18:24] Bilac**
What's the matter with you?
**[18:26] Bilac**
Let's get going already!
***SIGN*** Canyon of Ancient Souls
***SIGN*** Eighthold
***SIGN*** Eighth City
Eighthold
***SIGN*** Register landmark?
No Yes
***SIGN*** Landmark registered.
**[18:50] Sunraku**
Okay, now I can use Emul's gates to come
and go between Rabituza and Eighthold.
**[18:55] Bilac**
So, what's the next move?
**[18:57] Bilac**
I'd like to head back to Rabituza for a bit
**[18:59] Bilac**
and get the Dullahan General's
Decapitator fixed up, myself.
**[19:03] Sunraku**
Good idea.
**[19:05] Sunraku**
Maybe we'll break up and
take a rest for now, then.
**[19:07] Sunraku**
Emul, you should wait in Rabituza, too.
**[19:09] Emul**
What? But why?!
**[19:12] Sunraku**
I just got to a new city.
I wanna have a look around.
**[19:16] Sunraku**
And your disguises are kinda haute couture.
They make me stand out even more.
**[19:21] Emul**
I'm not sure I believe you.
**[19:23] Sunraku**
I'll buy you carrots while I'm here.
**[19:25] Emul**
Carrots?!
**[19:27] Emul**
Th-Then... If we must!
**[19:32] Emul**
But you mustn't do anything reckless!
**[19:35] Sunraku**
Hey, no worries!
**[19:37] Emul**
Promise me! You will *not* be reckless!
**[19:40] Sunraku**
Seriously, I'm fine! Just get going!
**[19:55] Sunraku**
Don't be reckless, huh?
**[19:59] Sunraku**
Human nature says, when someone says
"don't do that," you totally do it!
***SIGN*** Wah ha ha ha ha
**[20:13] Sunraku**
That's the story of Pandora's Box, too.
**[20:17] Sunraku**
I think Zeus gave Pandora that box,
knowing she'd open it.
**[20:24] Sunraku**
Even when we know it's gonna unleash
all the world's misfortunes...
***SIGN*** Eighthold
**[20:28] Sunraku**
We just gotta open it!
**[20:30] Sunraku**
That's what it means to be human!
***SIGN*** Canyon of Ancient Souls
**[20:42] Sunraku**
Okay, let's get climbing!
**[20:50] Sunraku**
Wait for me, Crystal Scorpions!
***SIGN*** SLF Mini
**[22:29] Kids**
*SLF* Theater!
***SIGN*** Emul's Sleeptalking
**[22:33] Emul**
Mini!
***SIGN*** SLF Theater
**[22:41] Emul**
This enemy is far too powerful!
**[22:45] Sunraku**
What's she dreaming about now?
**[22:47] Emul**
Oh, what a big carrot!
**[22:52] Emul**
I could make a house out of that carrot!
**[22:55] Emul**
How delightful!
**[22:57] Emul**
Oh, my ears have turned into carrots!
**[23:02] Emul**
Would you be the king and queen
of the Carrot Kingdom, then?
**[23:07] Emul**
I'd love to shake your hands!
**[23:15] Emul**
Oh, silly Sunraku-san!
**[23:18] Emul**
You can't do anything without me!
**[23:21] Emul**
Just like my youngest brother!
**[23:24] Emul**
There, there. That's a good little boy.
**[23:28] Sunraku**
What the hell is she dreaming about?

**[00:01] Narrator**
This world is filled with
too many games to count,
**[00:06] Narrator**
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
**[00:12] Narrator**
The greatest of all games
**[00:15] Narrator**
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
**[00:20] Narrator**
*Shangri-La Frontier*, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
**[00:27] Narrator**
One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,
**[00:30] Narrator**
is trying out the god-tier
game,* Shangri-La Frontier*!
**[00:34] Narrator**
What adventures await him there?
**[02:18] Sunraku**
Okay, let's get climbing!
***SIGN*** Rare Items, Worth More Than Life Itself
**[02:23] Sunraku**
Wait for me, Crystal Scorpions!
**[02:28] Sunraku**
First, I'll use Moon Jumper to
boost my vertical jumping power.
***SIGN*** Moon Jumper
**[02:32] Sunraku**
Then... Six-Boat Leap!
**[02:42] Sunraku**
Over-level-100 monsters,
the Crystal Scorpions...
**[02:46] Sunraku**
I gotta find out what they are!
**[02:48] Sunraku**
It'd be pretty rude not to
say hi while I'm in the area!
**[02:52] Sunraku**
What, you expect me to find out about an
unexplored area filled with unknown monsters
**[02:55] Sunraku**
and just forget about it?!
**[02:57] Sunraku**
What's the point of playing games
if you can't go buck wild?!
**[03:13] Sunraku**
Hey, would you look at that?
**[03:16] Sunraku**
It's way more fantastical
than the area down below...
***SIGN*** Crystal Nest Cliff
**[03:26] Sunraku**
Really hard to make progress...
**[03:28] Sunraku**
The footing's just terrible.
**[03:31] Sunraku**
Okay, let's find those Crystal
Scorpions I've heard so much a—
**[03:47] Sunraku**
So they're the type to camouflage
into the field, huh?
**[03:50] Sunraku**
You're the one I'm here
to see, Crystal Scorpion!
***SIGN*** Crystal Scorpion
**[03:59] Sunraku**
Too damn close!
**[04:10] Sunraku**
This thing's like a runaway train!
**[04:12] Sunraku**
Guess it utilizes the field's awful footing
**[04:14] Sunraku**
to drive the players into a dead end, huh?
**[04:21] Sunraku**
Well, what's the matter?
**[04:22] Sunraku**
Is a straight-up charge
the only trick you know?
**[04:27] Sunraku**
My first time around,
I'm just here to say hi.
**[04:29] Sunraku**
I don't expect to beat the
thing in my current state.
**[04:33] Sunraku**
Scout out the area, take back
any rare materials I find—
**[04:37] Sunraku**
That's my mission today!
**[04:42] Sunraku**
If I can do that, I'll take it as a win...
**[04:48] Sunraku**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Crystal Scorpions
**[05:03] (Flashback) Bilac**
They're a bunch of tough
nuts not even I could crack.
**[05:06] (Flashback) Bilac**
Crystal Scorpions attack as a swarm,
**[05:09] (Flashback) Bilac**
so if one sees you, you're dead.
**[05:24] Sunraku**
*Yeah...*
**[05:26] Sunraku**
*Okay, I'm dead.*
**[05:37] Emul**
I wonder when Sunraku-san
might finally return...
**[05:41] Emul**
Oh, what if he's unable
to return to Rabituza?!
**[05:47] Emul**
Perhaps I should have waited for
him in Eighthold after all?!
***SIGN*** Respawn
Rabituza
**[05:51] Sunraku**
Freaking damn it!
**[05:52] Sunraku**
That's too many of those
stupid scorpion jerks!
**[05:57] Sunraku**
Hey, Emul!
**[05:58] Sunraku**
Can I get a gate back to Eighthold?
**[06:00] Emul**
Sunraku-san...
**[06:02] Emul**
You *have* been fighting the
Crystal Scorpions, haven't you?!
**[06:06] Sunraku**
Ah, crud.
**[06:07] Emul**
We told you the
Crystal Scorpions were dangerous!
**[06:11] Sunraku**
Man, this sucks.
**[06:12] Emul**
What did you just say?!
**[06:14] Sunraku**
Here you are! The carrot I promised you!
**[06:17] Emul**
Hooray!
**[06:22] Emul**
Truly delicious!
**[06:24] Sunraku**
You're so predictable, it's kind of scary.
**[06:40] Sunraku**
Okay, I'm gonna give it another go.
**[06:44] Emul**
Really, must you go?
**[06:46] Sunraku**
I can't hang it up until
I get something out of it.
**[06:49] Sunraku**
And this won't be my first visit.
**[06:52] Sunraku**
I won't die empty-handed.
**[07:03] Sunraku**
Okay... let's move slow and keep hidden.
**[07:09] Sunraku**
I noticed a pretty interesting spot last time.
**[07:17] Sunraku**
Hey, there it is.
**[07:26] Sunraku**
I got a glimpse at it
just before they got me.
**[07:30] Sunraku**
A shiny li'l number that's
just begging for my pickax.
**[07:38] Sunraku**
I bet it gives up items unique to this area!
**[08:06] Sunraku**
Damn it! I'm not giving up!
***SIGN*** Overheat
Climax Boost
Nitro Gain
**[08:16] Sunraku**
I'm gonna get me some loot, no matter what!
**[08:29] Emul**
That one went by fast.
**[08:35] Sunraku**
It's no use.
**[08:37] Sunraku**
They're so big, and so fast...
**[08:39] Sunraku**
And they overwhelm you with numbers in an
area that's already hard to maneuver in.
**[08:43] Sunraku**
How am I supposed to survive that?
**[08:45] Emul**
It's just as we told you, yes!
**[08:48] Sunraku**
Yeah... but I also told *you* something, Emul.
**[08:54] Sunraku**
I won't die empty-handed.
**[08:59] Sunraku**
Let's have a look.
**[09:00] Emul**
Let's have a look!
***SIGN*** Aroncaleth Hard Lapis

**[09:02] Sunraku**
"Aroncaleth Hard Lapis"
**[09:04] Sunraku**
"Produced via repeated compression and
**[09:06] Sunraku**

**[09:10] Sunraku**
this crystal possesses an
extremely dense magic content.
**[09:14] Sunraku**
Its beautiful blue color
recalls the land itself."
**[09:19] Sunraku**
I dunno what I'd use it for,
**[09:21] Sunraku**
but it's gotta be worth more
than what I spent to get it.
**[09:24] Sunraku**
I'm gonna check the game guide site later!
**[09:26] Emul**
Are you satisfied now?
**[09:28] Sunraku**
Maybe.
**[09:29] Sunraku**
I hate to give up here, but I should
probably take a break for the day.
**[09:37] Emul**
Yes, you should have a nice sleep!
**[09:40] Sunraku**
*The Crystal Scorpions...*
**[09:43] Sunraku**
* The slightest vibration on the*
* crystals gets them swarming you.*
**[09:47] Sunraku**
*Though the AI's not particularly clever...*
**[09:50] Emul**
Go to sleep, go to sleep,
**[09:55] Sunraku**
*They just charge at me mindlessly, so...*
**[09:55] Emul**
beneath your bunny's ears...
**[09:59] Sunraku**
* When they collided, they tore*
* off each other's carapace...*
**[10:06] Sunraku**
Hang on a freaking minute here!
**[10:08] Sunraku**
Could I get the torn-off
carapace bits as an item?!
**[10:12] Sunraku**
Man, I wanna find out!
**[10:14] Sunraku**
Now that I got the idea, I wanna find out!
**[10:18] Sunraku**
Emul, open the gate!
**[10:19] Sunraku**
I'm going back!
**[10:20] Emul**
What? You still haven't given up?
**[10:24] Emul**
They're just going to kill you again!
***SIGN*** I want materials
**[10:26] Sunraku**
As long as there's unknowns out there,
a pioneer must never fear death!
**[10:30] Emul**
You're clearly fueled by greed.
**[10:33] Sunraku**
But... even if I *could* pick it up,
how would I go about doing it?
**[10:40] Sunraku**
It was pretty much luck that
let me recover that mineral...
**[10:45] Emul**
Honestly.
**[10:49] Emul**
The mana used to open gates
isn't free, you know!
**[10:55] Sunraku**
That's it!
**[10:58] Sunraku**
You just gave me a great idea, Emul!
**[11:00] Sunraku**
That'll work just fine!
**[11:03] Emul**
Wh-What are you going to do?!
**[11:08] Sunraku**
Just you wait!
**[11:10] Sunraku**
I'm gonna take that Crystal Scorpion
**[11:11] Sunraku**
minefield swarming with
level-100-plus monsters...
**[11:13] Sunraku**
and turn it into a walk in the park!
**[11:17] Emul**
Please put me down now!
**[11:33] Sunraku**
What's wrong, buddy? I'm right here!
**[11:38] Sunraku**
So scary!
**[11:49] Sunraku**
Oh, gosh, I'm surrounded!
**[11:51] Sunraku**
What do I do? I'm in so much trouble!
**[12:01] Sunraku**
Just kidding.
***SIGN*** Six-Boat Leap
**[12:03] Sunraku**
Six-Boat Leap!
**[12:11] Sunraku**
Okay, great!
**[12:12] Sunraku**
Carapace breakage confirmed!
**[12:19] Sunraku**
You wanna run me through
the scorpion blender, huh?
**[12:22] Sunraku**
Part of me would like to find
out what that feels like,
**[12:25] Sunraku**
but it might be kinda traumatic,
so I'll pass this time.

Just like I thought,
the Crystal Scorpions cleared out!
**[13:47] Sunraku**
Time to loot all the spoils!
**[13:55] Sunraku**
Materials from monsters that
tough have gotta be pretty rare!
**[14:00] Sunraku**
Bet you Bilac could make
something awesome out of them!
**[14:03] Sunraku**
I'm so awesome! I'm a genius!
**[14:19] Sunraku**
I'm gonna make materials
out of every one of you!
**[14:22] Sunraku**
Come at me in the tens or the hundreds!
**[14:28] Sunraku**
Just you wait, Bilac!
I'm gonna have a huge collection for you!
**[14:37] Sunraku**
Players have a hard limit
on inventory capacity.
**[14:37] Sunraku**
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
**[14:40] Sunraku**
If you carry too much, it gets
too heavy, and slows you down.
**[14:44] Sunraku**
But...
***SIGN*** Inventoria Key

The Inventoria lets you store unlimited

**[14:49] Sunraku**
Yay! Yay! Unlimited!
***SIGN*** Inventoria Key
**[14:52] Sunraku**
So if you use it just right...
**[15:01] Sunraku**
I can get unlimited materials from
the over-level-100 Crystal Scorpions!
**[15:07] Sunraku**
You rock, Inventoria!
**[15:10] Sunraku**
I just hide out in the Inventoria until
the Crystal Scorpions' aggro dies down...
**[15:17] Sunraku**
Then I return to the real world when the
heat's off, and would you look at that?
**[15:22] Sunraku**
The Crystal Scorpions are gone,
back to hiding in the scenery,
***SIGN*** Dropped Item

**[15:38] Sunraku**
Although...
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[15:40] Sunraku**
Looks like I'm pretty low on MP.
**[15:43] Sunraku**
I'm down to my last use of the Inventoria.
**[15:47] Sunraku**
But I still got tons of sweet item drops!
**[15:51] Sunraku**
I'll do one last run, then head back.

**[15:55] Sunraku**
Still, there's something so satisfying
just looking through rare items...
**[16:01] Sunraku**
Eh? What's this?
**[16:03] Sunraku**
Wait a minute!
**[16:05] Sunraku**
I still don't have a stinger?
**[16:08] Sunraku**
You can't fight a scorpion and
not get a stinger, can you?
**[16:12] Sunraku**
It's kind of the most defining feature!
**[16:15] Sunraku**
Maybe the stinger's too sturdy to
tear off just from basic infighting?
**[16:22] Sunraku**
Seems pretty plausible, which means...
**[16:25] Sunraku**
The Crystal Scorpion's stinger
could be the rare drop!
**[16:30] Sunraku**
Okay, I get it.
**[16:32] Sunraku**
I definitely wanna get me one of those.
**[16:35] Sunraku**
But...
**[16:36] Sunraku**
In order to get that rare drop,
**[16:39] Sunraku**
I'm gonna have to face a horde
of level-100-plus monsters,
**[16:41] Sunraku**
in a place with awful footing,
and pinpoint target the stinger.
**[16:47] Sunraku**
And the part I'm after is so super-tough
that normal attacks won't break it off.
**[17:06] Sunraku**
C'mon, guys.
**[17:07] Sunraku**
This is some trash game-tier stuff, y'know?
**[17:13] Sunraku**
But that's what's gonna make it fun!
**[17:16] Sunraku**
Let's get it done!
**[17:19] Sunraku**
I'm gonna tear off your precious
stinger, no matter what it takes!
**[17:23] Sunraku**
On my honor as a trash gamer!

Didn't even leave a crack!
**[17:50] Sunraku**
* I had a feeling I might*

**[17:56] Sunraku**
* I'll have to get their attacks*

That's what I can do when
I put my mind to it!
**[19:15] Sunraku**
Got me a rare drop!

*The second I claim it,*
**[19:21] Sunraku**

* I'll still get to keep the...*

*Huh?*
**[19:28] Sunraku**
*I'm not as close as I thought I was.*
**[19:32] Sunraku**
*Huh? You're kidding me, right?*
**[19:34] Sunraku**
*I almost had it.*
**[19:36] Sunraku**
* If my trajectory had been*
* just a little different,*
**[19:39] Sunraku**
*I could've had it.*
**[19:42] Sunraku**
*Hey, you listening? Goddess of RNG?*
**[19:48] Sunraku**
*Why you gotta be so cruel?*
**[19:59] Emul**
A-Are you all right, Sunraku-san?!
**[20:06] Emul**
You haven't moved this whole time,
and you seem to be trembling...
**[20:12] Sunraku**
Yeah...
**[20:13] Sunraku**
I can break off the scorpion's stinger,
and it's possible to retrieve it.
**[20:18] Sunraku**
I know that now, so... I guess that's enough.
**[20:23] Sunraku**
It's enough. Yeah, it is.
**[20:28] Sunraku**
Like hell it is!
**[20:30] Sunraku**
It doesn't mean jack if
I don't get the thing!
***SIGN*** Random Number

**[20:35] Sunraku**
Screw you, Goddess of RNG! You totally suck!
**[20:39] Sunraku**
Missing it when you almost had it is the
biggest psychological blow you can take!
**[20:43] Sunraku**
And despite getting stuck
in the scorpion blender,
**[20:46] Sunraku**
why didn't it tear up the Staring Bird Mask?!
**[20:49] Sunraku**
Was it a miracle? Why is *that*
where I pull the miracle RNG?!
**[20:53] Sunraku**
It actually kinda makes me more pissed!
**[20:57] Emul**
Sunraku-san has grown rather unstable.
**[21:03] Sunraku**
That pissed me off way too much.
**[21:05] Sunraku**
I don't wanna look at any
more scorpions for a while.
**[21:15] Sunraku**
There's only one way to
bounce back from this.
**[21:20] Emul**
Wh-What is is?
**[21:22] Sunraku**
I'm gonna brag to Bilac
about the materials I got
**[21:24] Sunraku**
and bathe in her praise!
**[21:27] Sunraku**
I just know she'll appreciate how
valuable these materials are!
**[21:32] Sunraku**
Time is money! Let's go, Emul!
**[21:34] Emul**
R-Righty-o...
**[21:38] Sunraku**
Nothing beats the moment when you brag
to someone about your accomplishments!
**[21:43] Emul**
That's rather perverse thinking!
**[21:45] Sunraku**
Sorry, but I take that as a compliment!

Curse you, Lycagon!

What now? Still wasting your time on that?
**[23:43] Sunraku**
There could be a glitch that gives a
**[23:46] Sunraku**
fraction-of-a-percent chance of breaking
through Lycagon's curse to put on armor.
**[23:50] Pencilgon**
Well, dreaming is free.
**[23:52] Pencilgon**
Everything past that will cost you.
**[23:54] Sunraku**
So stingy!
**[23:56] Sunraku**
Speaking of, quite a few people
have fought Lycagon, right?
**[24:00] Sunraku**
It's just that no one's beaten it.
**[24:05] Pencilgon**
Yeah, that's true.
**[24:07] Pencilgon**
Momo-cha—
**[24:08] Pencilgon**
Someone I know is pretty passionate about it.
**[24:11] Sunraku**
But they haven't beaten it?
**[24:13] Pencilgon**
Just don't mention that her.
**[24:15] Pencilgon**
I have, of course.
**[24:17] Sunraku**
You...
**[24:20] Sunraku**
So, just for my edification,
how did this person fight it?
**[24:25] Pencilgon**
Well, from what I've heard,
**[24:28] Pencilgon**
they came at it with a V formation,
**[24:31] Pencilgon**
but it got behind them and blew
them away like bowling pins.
**[24:38] Pencilgon**
Then they tried the Dynamite
Bone-in Muscle Burst.
**[24:43] Pencilgon**
Momo-chan said that one
went pretty well, I think.
**[24:48] Sunraku**
The what?
**[24:49] Pencilgon**
Oh, would you look at the time?
**[24:52] Pencilgon**
Sorry, I've got an early
morning. Better log out.
**[24:55] Sunraku**
Hey! Wait a minute!
**[24:56] Sunraku**
You can't just not explain that one!

Dynamite Bone-in Muscle Burst?

Dynamite Bone-in Muscle Burst?
**[25:09] Sunraku**

Bone-in meat and a muscle burst!
**[25:29] Emul**
Bone-in meat and a muscle burst?!
**[25:33] Sunraku**
So I just need the dynamite.
**[25:36] Sunraku**
An explosion.
**[25:38] Sunraku**
That's where you come in, Emul.
**[25:41] Emul**
Wh-What are you going to get me to do?
**[25:45] Emul**
Explosion? Are you going to explode me?!
**[25:48] Sunraku**
You're going to become the dynamite!
**[25:52] Emul**
No!

**[01:44] Bilac**
Hang on a minute!
**[01:45] Bilac**
You got Lowenanva Amber Crystal, too?!
**[01:47] Bilac**
You don't see 'em at this
size very often, either...
**[01:52] Bilac**
Hey, an Amurcidian Quartz!
**[01:57] Emul**
I have no idea what she's talking about.

There's more where that came from, Bilac!

I got the complete Crystal Scorpion set!
**[02:13] Bilac**
You saying you really went
to the land of the crystals?!
**[02:17] Bilac**
All these rare materials are
gonna make my head explode!
**[02:21] Emul**
He failed to retrieve the Crystal Scorpion
Stinger, though, so that isn't—
**[02:26] Sunraku**
Here! Good little girls
gotta eat their carrots!
**[02:31] Sunraku**
So, Bilac, I gotta know...
**[02:34] Sunraku**
What kind of weapon can you make
with all these amazing materials?!
**[02:38] Bilac**
I never had any interest in gemstones
outside of their material value, but...
**[02:48] Bilac**
When you've got a gem of this quality
right in front of your eyes...
**[02:51] Bilac**
It's hard not to feel pretty delighted.
**[02:57] Bilac**
I think I finally get
how the Cait Siths feel!
**[03:18] Bilac**
The heck was that about?!
**[03:21] Sunraku**
I was *asking* what you could make with 'em!
**[03:26] Bilac**
Right. Well...
**[03:28] Bilac**
For sure, I can sure make weapons outta
the Crystal Scorpion parts and the ore...
**[03:33] Sunraku**
Yes, yes.
**[03:35] Bilac**
But gems like these are better
off being made into accessories.
***SIGN*** Smith
**[03:39] Bilac**
Which means it's less a
job for a smith like me
**[03:42] Bilac**
and more a job for a jeweler.
***SIGN*** Jeweler
**[03:43] Sunraku**
A jeweler?
**[03:46] Bilac**
You know those little items that
produce effects when you slap 'em on?
**[03:49] Bilac**
Jewelers specialize in making
the kind that incorporate gems.
**[03:55] Sunraku**
Oh, so they make accessories?
**[03:59] Sunraku**
So? Any jewelers here in Rabituza?
**[04:02] Sunraku**
*Not another of Emul's sisters, I hope?*
**[04:06] Bilac**
Sorry, but there aren't any jewelers in Rabituza.
**[04:09] Sunraku**
Aw, for real?
**[04:11] Sunraku**
Wait, it's not a rare job
or something, is it?!
**[04:13] Sunraku**
What the hell?!
**[04:15] Sunraku**
All my great stuff is
gonna go to waste, then!
**[04:17] Bilac**
Would you let me finish?
**[04:19] Bilac**
I've got a connection
that can make it happen.
**[04:22] Bilac**
Though...
**[04:24] Bilac**
I really hate asking that guy for stuff...
**[04:30] Bilac**
Still, my pride as a blacksmith...
as a craftsman...
**[04:34] Bilac**
bristles at letting these
wonderful things go to waste.
**[04:40] Sunraku**
Quit putting on airs and call him in already!
**[04:43] Bilac**
All right. I guess I gotta.
**[04:46] Bilac**
I'll call him in, then.
**[04:48] Bilac**
Hey, Ignoramus. C'mon in.
**[04:52] Sunraku**
Shouldn't you call louder?
The guy's not in the next room, right?
**[04:56] Aramiys**
You called, my beauteous raven-haired lady?!
**[04:59] Sunraku**
Freaking hell!
**[05:03] Aramiys**
Were I tumbling into a bottomless ravine...
**[05:07] Aramiys**
You need only call my name,

***SIGN*** Aramiys
**[05:32] Sunraku**
What was that name? "Alarmist"?
**[05:36] Sunraku**
And this windbag is the jeweler?
**[05:38] Bilac**
Nah, not him.
**[05:40] Bilac**
And you can just call him Ignoramus.
**[05:43] Aramiys**
And I believe you are...
my lovely maiden's sister!
**[05:46] Emul**
Yes, Emul!
**[05:48] Emul**
And this is Sunraku-san!
**[05:50] Aramiys**
Now, how might this unworthy
Aramiys serve you, milady?
**[05:55] Aramiys**
At your word, fair creature,
I would challenge Lycagon itself!
**[05:59] Bilac**
Hey, great idea.
Go dash yourself on that rock...
**[06:03] Bilac**
At least, that's what I'd like to say,
**[06:05] Bilac**
but I got a favor to ask you today.
**[06:07] Aramiys**
A favor? You have need of me, milady?!
**[06:09] Bilac**
I want you to ask your
jeweler buddy, D'Arnyaata,
**[06:12] Bilac**
to whip up some accessories.
**[06:14] Aramiys**
Oho?
**[06:16] Bilac**
And I'm not talking any old accessories.
**[06:19] Bilac**
I'm talking about a masterwork.
**[06:23] Aramiys**
My, what a truly spectacular
collection of jewels!
**[06:27] Emul**
Sunraku-san here collected them!
**[06:30] Sunraku**
'Sup?
**[06:32] Aramiys**
I first took you for a birdman,
but you've the body of a human...
**[06:36] Aramiys**
Though I've never heard of a
human with the head of a bird...
**[06:39] Sunraku**
I'm human, okay?
**[06:41] Bilac**
Not just any human, though.
**[06:44] Bilac**
He's been declared worthy
by the Night Emperor,
**[06:46] Bilac**
he beat the Eternal Gravekeeper,
**[06:48] Bilac**
and he's Pops's underling.
**[06:52] Aramiys**
This human did that?
**[06:55] Aramiys**
You'll have to forgive me
**[06:58] Aramiys**
if I harbor doubts.
**[07:10] Aramiys**
I see.
**[07:12] Aramiys**
I suppose it *is* true!
**[07:15] Sunraku**
Is this guy for real?!
**[07:16] Bilac**
You lousy feline!
**[07:18] Bilac**
Quit screwing around in my sacred forge!
**[07:22] Emul**
Sunraku-san! Are you all right?
**[07:25] Aramiys**
Ah, fair lady! Your expressions
of love do pain me so!
**[07:29] Aramiys**
A bit more to the right! Ow, ow, ow!
**[07:33] Aramiys**
Now, if I may, birdman of the blue...
**[07:35] Aramiys**
Rather, Sunraku-dono...
**[07:38] Aramiys**
May I assume you wish me to
use *all* of these gemstones?
**[07:43] Sunraku**
Yeah... I guess the only other
option is selling 'em, so...
**[07:48] Sunraku**
Take good care of 'em, Aramiys.
**[07:50] Aramiys**
It shall be done!
**[07:52] Aramiys**
This unworthy vice-captain
of the Musketeers in Boots,
**[07:55] Aramiys**
the Wild Wind, Aramiys,
**[07:58] Aramiys**
shall see you the finest
of accessories crafted.
**[08:03] Aramiys**
Kiss!
**[08:09] Bilac**
The hell you think you're doing?!
**[08:14] Aramiys**
I shall see you anon!
**[08:19] Sunraku**
He disappeared.
**[08:20] Emul**
A teleportation spell!
**[08:22] Bilac**
Frickin' Ignoramus.
**[08:24] Bilac**
I really hate that guy.
**[08:27] Sunraku**
Um, mind if I ask how
you two know each other?
**[08:31] Bilac**
Huh?
**[08:32] Bilac**
I made a weapon for the jerk once. That's it.
**[08:36] Emul**
He's the vice-captain of the
kingdom of Cait Siths, Cazzeria!
**[08:40] Emul**
He's much stronger than he
appears at first glance!
**[08:43] Sunraku**
Yeah, I'll bet.
**[08:44] Sunraku**
I don't think he put his
all into that attack, even.
**[08:47] Sunraku**
And he did call himself "Swordsmaster"...
**[08:50] Bilac**
Well, if we're talking
pure fighting ability,
**[08:52] Bilac**
he's probably got me beat.
**[08:55] Sunraku**
Kingdom of the Cait Siths, Cazzeria, huh?
**[08:59] Sunraku**
I'd love to ask more questions about that,
but I'm pretty tired all of a sudden.
**[09:04] Sunraku**
I think I'll get some rest.
**[09:06] Emul**
Oh?
**[09:07] Emul**
Well... if you're tired,
then I suppose you must...
**[09:13] Sunraku**
I'll take a quick nap, then come right back.
**[09:16] Sunraku**
And once I'm back, we'll seriously start
searching for the magic operations unit.
**[09:20] Sunraku**
Gotta make an Ancient Craftsman
out of Bilac, after all!
**[09:23] Emul**
Yes indeed!
**[09:24] Bilac**
You're a real bundle of energy, too, huh?
**[09:40] Rakuro**
So tired...
**[09:44] Rakuro**
Guess I'll log in again this evening...
**[09:48] Rakuro**
Huh? Got some emails...
**[09:52] Oikatzo**
*Hey, got a question for you!*
**[09:54] Oikatzo**
*Where are you right now?*
**[09:55] Oikatzo**
* There's a thing I wanna*
* meet up and talk about!*
**[10:00] Pencilgon**
*Question for Sunraku-kun!*
**[10:02] Pencilgon**
*Where are you right now? Fivelle?*
**[10:05] Pencilgon**
* I'd like to meet up with you and*
* discuss something in person.*
**[10:08] Pencilgon**
*You free this evening?*
**[10:10] Rakuro**
What the heck?
**[10:12] Rakuro**
Even a carnivorous plant is more subtle...
**[10:16] Rakuro**
The hell are those two plotting now?
**[10:20] Rakuro**
Well, either way,
I've used too much brainpower.
**[10:25] Rakuro**
Gonna sleep now.
**[10:37] Sunraku**
Okay!
**[10:38] Sunraku**
That little nap was just what I needed!
**[10:41] Sunraku**
Let's resume the plan to cultivate Bilac!
**[10:45] Emul**
The goal: become an Ancient Craftsman!
***SIGN*** Ancient Craftsman
**[10:47] Oikatzo**
Harrumph! Harrumph!
**[10:47] Pencilgon**
Hmph! Hmph!
**[10:47] Sunraku**
I sorta ended up ignoring
their emails, but...
**[10:52] Sunraku**
Well, whatever.
**[10:54] Sunraku**
It was probably just gonna
be annoying stuff anyway.
**[10:57] Sunraku**
Let's start by rounding up Bilac.
**[11:01] Sunraku**
Gotta get that magic operations unit
from the Ruins of Past Glories!
**[11:05] Emul**
Ah, there's something I must
tell you regarding that...
**[11:10] Aramiys**
Milady!
**[11:11] Aramiys**
Though I am ever pleased by the
feel of your foot upon me...
**[11:14] Aramiys**
It really does hurt!
**[11:16] Bilac**
I'm trying to put you, and the world,
out of our collective misery!
**[11:22] Aramiys**
Ouch! That's my spine!
**[11:26] Sunraku**
What's with this married
couple comedy routine?
**[11:29] Bilac**
Who the hell are you calling a couple?!
**[11:31] Sunraku**
Speaking of, Aramiys.
Didn't you go back to Cazzeria?
**[11:36] Sunraku**
What'd you do with my jewels?
**[11:38] Aramiys**
Rest easy, friend!
**[11:40] Aramiys**
I have delivered your jewels
to their best destination,
**[11:42] Aramiys**
the jeweler D'Arnyaata!
**[11:45] Aramiys**
Then I returned to lend
aid to my fair maiden!
**[11:50] Aramiys**
She is embarking on a journey to
the wild frontier, is she not?
**[11:55] Aramiys**
If so...
**[11:56] Aramiys**
Then I, Wild Wind Aramiys,
**[11:59] Aramiys**
am obliged to offer my aid!
**[12:01] Sunraku**
Which means... what?
**[12:03] Emul**
It appears he intends to accompany us.
**[12:06] Sunraku**
For real?
**[12:08] Sunraku**
Bilac said he was stronger than her...
**[12:11] Sunraku**
Would having another post-level-90 character
take the challenge out of things?
**[12:16] Sunraku**
I gotta think about this one...
**[12:20] Bilac**
I'd leave him behind if I could,
**[12:22] Bilac**
but he's gonna tag along,
no matter what we say.
**[12:26] Bilac**
Apparently the Cait Siths'
king heard about you,
**[12:30] Bilac**
and got a whole head of steam
about not just making accessories,
**[12:32] Bilac**
but putting the whole force
of Cazzeria behind you.
**[12:36] Sunraku**
Huh?
**[12:37] Sunraku**
Why would he do that?
**[12:39] Bilac**
Cazzeria and Rabituza are sworn allies, see?
**[12:42] Bilac**
Being Pops's underling is a bigger
deal than you probably thought.
**[12:47] Bilac**
Plus, you beat one of the Colossi.
**[13:06] Bilac**
I'm guessing you still don't grasp
how much pull that gives you.
**[13:12] Aramiys**
My will is the will of Cazzeria itself!
**[13:17] Aramiys**
Stand back as I slay all
who stand in milady's way!
**[13:24] Bilac**
Cait Siths love their gemstones, see?
**[13:27] Bilac**
Their jewelers, especially,
are skilled as hell,
**[13:31] Bilac**
but they're famous for pocketing
the materials you give 'em.
**[13:33] Sunraku**
Huh? What the heck?!
**[13:36] Bilac**
I listed your accomplishments
to try to head that off,
**[13:41] Bilac**
but it looks like it came with
a real pain-in-the-ass price.
**[13:43] Aramiys**
Now, Sunraku-dono!
**[13:45] Aramiys**
We must begin, post-haste!
**[13:46] Aramiys**
Let us lead milady to ever-greater heights!
**[13:49] Sunraku**
By the way, what else might my "pull" get me?
**[13:54] Bilac**
Well, you got the Night Emperor's
approval tattooed on you,
***SIGN*** Werewolf
**[13:58] Bilac**
so you could land yourself a
werewolf or lizardman bride.
**[13:58] sign**
Lizardman
**[14:01] Bilac**
The ladies are gonna love you.
**[14:04] Sunraku**
Hey, can we not?
**[14:07] Bilac**
Well, other than that...
**[14:09] Bilac**
If you're not careful, you could start a war.
**[14:14] Sunraku**
C'mon, I'd never do that.
**[14:16] Sunraku**
I'm a pure, righteous player, here.
**[14:21] Bilac**
Well, either way, you'd better come
to grips with what you've done,
**[14:25] Bilac**
or things could get messy real quick.
**[14:28] Bilac**
I'm just telling you to be careful.
**[14:31] Sunraku**
Sure...
**[14:33] Bilac**
Hey, Ignoramus! Time to haul ass!
**[14:36] Bilac**
Are you ready or not?!
**[14:37] Aramiys**
But of course, milady!
**[14:39] Aramiys**
Say the word and it is done!
**[14:42] Emul**
This has become quite a grandiose matter!
**[14:45] Sunraku**
Yeah...
**[14:46] Sunraku**
But meh, I'm sure it's fine.
**[14:48] Sunraku**
Even if the whole world turns against me...
**[14:51] Sunraku**
I've sorta been through that
in other worlds anyway.
***SIGN*** Eighth City
Eighthold
**[15:03] Emul**
I haven't used my human form in so long!
**[15:06] Aramiys**
Ah, the family resemblance
is clear in your skill!
**[15:10] Aramiys**
Brilliant transformation prowess!
**[15:11] Bilac**
Hey, Ignoramus! Watch where
you put your hands, would you?
**[15:15] Aramiys**
Milady, my skull! Please, not the skull!
**[15:19] Bilac**
I can see you smiling, asshole!
**[15:22] Aramiys**
Ouch! Ouch!
**[15:23] Sunraku**
Chill, you guys!
You're gonna tear the fabric!
**[15:26] Sunraku**
Sheesh.
**[15:28] Sunraku**
Even moving through town's
a pain in the ass now.
**[15:31] Sunraku**
Never thought I'd have to
wear this getup again...
**[15:34] Emul**
Oh, look, they're selling carrots!
**[15:37] Emul**
Might we buy some?!
**[15:38] Sunraku**
You've had plenty already, Emul-chan!
**[15:43] Sunraku**
I got mahni to spare, thanks to
the Crystal Scorpion battle,
**[15:47] Sunraku**
but conserve those mana potions, got it?
**[15:50] Aramiys**
That hurts!
**[15:51] Bilac**
Knock it off already!
**[15:54] Sunraku**
If you run out, you'll have to
join us in the robe of hell.
**[16:01] Emul**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[16:03] Sunraku**
Well, it beats walking around
in the chimera getup.
**[16:08] Sunraku**
At least this thing is
official game equipment.
**[16:12] Sunraku**
As long as I act confident,
no one'll suspect a thing!
**[16:18] Bilac**
With that getup, people are gonna
give you a wide berth anyway.
**[16:23] Sunraku**
Yeah, I'm pretty used to that by now.
**[16:39] Emul**
That one's really staring at us, Sunraku-san!
**[16:42] Sunraku**
Stay cool, Emul!
**[16:44] Sunraku**
Just act like you belong here!
**[16:45] Sunraku**
And you guys, hold still!
**[16:47] Emul**
She's approaching us!
**[16:52] Sunraku**
Um... how can I help you, Miss Magical Girl?
**[16:56] Sunraku**
Ah! Are you perhaps wondering
about this outfit of mine?
**[17:00] Sunraku**
*Peatz runs a shop in Thirdrema, right?*
**[17:05] Sunraku**
Er...
**[17:07] Sunraku**
See, in Third—
**[17:07] Professor**
In Thirdrema, there's occasionally an
open-air stall that sells such an item...
**[17:13] Professor**
The Ritual Medjed Keffiyeh, I believe.
**[17:17] Professor**
One of the three players involved
in beating Wethermon the Tombguard
**[17:23] Professor**
is known to wear it, I'm told.
**[17:25] Professor**
That player typically favors
the Staring Bird Mask.
**[17:28] Professor**
His name, I believe...
**[17:30] Professor**
was Sunraku.
**[17:33] Sunraku**
*Crud.*
**[17:33] Sunraku**
* Either I blew my cover,*
* or someone leaked info about me...*
**[17:37] Sunraku**
*But more than that, this avatar...*
**[17:39] Sunraku**
*it's got a totally deep old man voice!*
**[17:43] Professor**
You match the characteristics of a player
I've been searching for, you see.
**[17:48] Professor**
Could I have a moment of your time?
**[17:49] Sunraku**
* A magical girl avatar with*
* the voice of an old man?*
**[17:52] Sunraku**
*Is that the gimmick?!*
**[17:55] Professor**
Are you listening to me?
**[17:57] Sunraku**
* The gap between the appearance and the*
* voice is supposed to be a gag, right?*
**[18:00] Sunraku**
* Well... not that I can talk,*
* given how I go around...*
**[18:04] Professor**
Oh, apologies.
**[18:06] Professor**
I've failed to introduce myself.
**[18:09] Professor**
I am leader of the game
lore clan, The Library.
**[18:13] Professor**
They call me the Professor.
***SIGN*** Leader of Game Lore Clan, The Library
***SIGN*** Professor
**[18:16] Sunraku**
Game lore clan, The Library...
**[18:21] Professor**
I believe we're rather
well known here in *SLF*.
**[18:25] Professor**
Have you heard of us, perhaps?
**[18:27] Professor**
We spend our days learning more about the
world and lore of *Shangri-La Frontier*.
**[18:33] Sunraku**
*Oh, right.*
**[18:34] Sunraku**
* I think I heard about them when*
* I was looking up info online.*
**[18:37] Sunraku**
* Seems like they gather info through*
* ties to tons of players and clans...*
**[18:42] Sunraku**
* Which means this "Professor" might*
* have some handy info for me...*
***SIGN*** Bonus Unique Scenario,
Vorpal Epic.
Begin now?
No Yes
**[18:48] Sunraku**
* But I kinda wanna get*
* where I'm going already...*
**[18:51] Sunraku**
*I've already taken up enough time on detours.*
**[18:54] Sunraku**
* Plus, if info about Emul*
* and the others gets out,*
**[18:56] Sunraku**
*it's gonna open up a whole can of worms...*
**[18:59] Professor**
Have you felt it, by chance?
**[19:02] Professor**
The distinctiveness of the
scenario flags in *SLF*...
**[19:08] Professor**
Unlike a normal game, which guides you
purposely through a series of events,
**[19:14] Professor**
players must find the carefully
hidden flags for themselves.
**[19:20] Sunraku**
That's true.
**[19:22] Professor**
It truly is a game for the pioneer spirit.
**[19:24] Professor**
I've never seen a game
with so much to discover.
**[19:28] Professor**
But most intriguing at all is
***SIGN*** Sunraku
**[19:31] Professor**
the part that fills the core of
the world, the Seven Colossi.
***SIGN*** You've received a friend request

**[19:43] Professor**
So when I heard that someone had slain
one of them—Wethermon the Tombguard—
**[19:50] Professor**
my heart danced with joy.
**[19:53] Professor**

Bilac, the Vorpal Bunny blacksmith.
**[23:38] Narrator**
Day after day, she works at her anvil,
**[23:40] Narrator**
dreaming of someday reaching,
and surpassing, her father's greatness.
**[23:48] Sunraku**
I got you some pretty rare stuff here.
**[23:50] Bilac**
Well... they've got pretty
good specs, sure...
**[23:54] Bilac**
But my blacksmith instinct is
telling me they're not quite right.
**[23:57] Sunraku**
Your instinct is pretty selfish.
**[24:00] Sunraku**
So, what kind of ore would
your instinct rather have?
**[24:04] Bilac**
More like... well...
**[24:06] Bilac**
Let's see...
**[24:07] Bilac**
I wanna make an alloy.
**[24:09] Sunraku**
So you need iron ore, huh?
**[24:11] Sunraku**
All right.
**[24:13] Sunraku**
Let's go, Emul!
**[24:14] Emul**
Righty-o!
**[24:17] Emul**
Sunraku-san! You must run faster!
**[24:22] Sunraku**
Okay. We got it.
**[24:27] Sunraku**
You got a problem with this, too?!
**[24:29] Bilac**
Well... if I wanna make stronger weapons,
I kinda need gemstones, too...
**[24:35] Sunraku**
Fine, fine.
**[24:36] Sunraku**
I'll get you some gemstones, then!
**[24:38] Sunraku**
Let's go, Emul!
**[24:39] Emul**
W-We're not going *there*, are we?!
**[24:49] Sunraku**
That should... do it, right?
**[24:53] Bilac**
While you were out, I started thinking.
**[24:56] Bilac**
Maybe it'd be better to use monster
materials or wood or something.
**[25:02] Sunraku**
I've got better materials right here.
**[25:05] Bilac**
What?
**[25:06] Sunraku**
Ore.
**[25:07] Sunraku**
Gems.
**[25:08] Sunraku**
And a head as hard as either of them!
**[25:18] Sunraku**
Don't totally change directions
right before the job!
**[25:22] Bilac**
You're the one who said you
wanted the ultimate weapon!
**[25:26] Emul**
W-W-Wait, you two!
**[25:28] Emul**
Please, no fighting!
