[01:30] Pencilgon
    In SLF, the keys to victory
    come from the story.
[01:35] Pencilgon
    I'd always assumed Wethermon
    was some kind of cyborg,
[01:38] Pencilgon
    who'd modified his body with
    technology from the Divinity...
[01:42] Pencilgon
    But...
[01:43] Pencilgon
    His classification is "undead monster"!
[01:46] Pencilgon
    For undead, you use holy water!
[02:03] Sunraku
    Hey, the guy's screaming!
SIGN    Putting Feelings Into a Moment, Part 3
[02:05] Sunraku
    Is his field attack incoming?
[02:07] Pencilgon
    No...
[02:08] Pencilgon
    This isn't that animation.
[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
    are regularly given the "trash game" stamp.
[05:15] 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!
SIGN    Head Equipment Changed
SIGN    Spiked Battlehelm
[05:40] Sunraku
    A passable compromise between
    the fiction and the gameplay...
[05:43] Sunraku
    Any player who endures those
    twenty minutes gets a reward...
[05:47] Sunraku
    A turn to fight back!
[05:54] Sunraku
    What, is that your first time
    being parried by a helmet?
SIGN    Moonblade (Waxing)
     equipped.
SIGN    Moonblade (Waning)
     equipped.
[05:58] sign
    Spiked Battlehelm
     equipped.
[05:58] Sunraku
    Time to unveil the new armor I created
    from Quad Beetle materials...
[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!
[07:08] Sunraku
    Vorpal Blade Tech...
SIGN    Vorpal Blade Tech
     Moon's Reflection
[07:16] Sunraku
    Moon's Reflection!
[07:19] Sunraku
    Better watch your back, man.
[07:26] Sunraku
    Your six is wide open!
[07:29] Sunraku
    The Moon's Reflection was a bluff!
[07:31] Sunraku
    The real attack... is here!
SIGN    Assassin Pierce
[07:33] Sunraku
    Assassin Pierce!
[07:38] Sunraku
    Oh, I haven't even started to get my revenge!
[07:43] Sunraku
    Drill Piercer!
SIGN    Drill Piercer
[07:56] Sunraku
    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...
[09:14] Oikatzo
    Whip Puppet: Snake!
SIGN    Whip Puppet: Snake
[09:19] Oikatzo
    If I'm gonna be graded,
    I'd rather get a perfect score!
SIGN    Oikatzo
[09:35] Pencilgon
    These two, I swear...
SIGN    Divine Lifesalve
[09:51] Oikatzo
    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
    bag, you robot jerk!

    a cross-shaped seal...
[12:51] Oikatzo
    Then I pound it with a right straight punch!
[12:59] Pencilgon
    Nice! You finally staggered it!
[13:01] Pencilgon
    Looks like the medicine did its thing!
[13:03] Pencilgon
    Now I'm gonna stab its
    knee until it shatters!
[13:09] Pencilgon
    Spear of Sunlight!
SIGN    Spear of Sunlight
SIGN    Spear of Sunlight
[13:18] Arthur
    I know it dealt damage... but even
    with all those stacked buffs...
[13:22] Arthur
    I still can't even crack it?!
[13:28] Oikatzo
    Pencilgon!
[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
    What's the matter, man?!
[14:20] Sunraku
    Are you that depressed
[14:21] Sunraku
    that your robo-samurai sword
    techniques won't work on me?!
[14:27] Sunraku
    I knew these Moonblades were
    a good match for my skills.
SIGN    Sunraku
[14:35] Sunraku
    I've got a skill I can only activate
    when my HP fall below one-third—
[14:39] Sunraku
    Climax Boost.
SIGN    Climax Boost
[14:41] Sunraku
    For five minutes after activating,
[14:43] Sunraku
    it boosts my stats in proportion to
    the level gap between me and my enemy.
SIGN    Sunraku
[14:51] Sunraku
    But I've got so little HP,
[14:54] Sunraku
    there's no way to use Wethermon's attacks
    to fine-tune them down to one-third.
[15:00] Sunraku
    But...
[15:01] Sunraku
    With the Moonblades' ability to shave down
    and recover my HP with every attack,
[15:04] Sunraku
    I can do it.
[15:06] Sunraku
    And one more thing...
[15:07] Sunraku
    Hunger Wolf.
[15:07] sign
    Hunger Wolf
[15:08] Sunraku
    It only lasts for one minute,
[15:11] Sunraku
    but in exchange for depleting
    my stamina and such,
[15:13] Sunraku
    it increases my strength,
    agility, and vitality!
[15:17] Wethermon
    Thunderclap!
[15:18] Sunraku
    The stat increase is in proportion to how
    few HP you've got, and your "hunger" level!
SIGN    Sunraku
[15:21] Wethermon
    Nimbus Fist!
[15:25] Sunraku
    SLF has a gauge to represent your hunger.
[15:29] Sunraku
    It fills back up when you eat,
[15:31] Sunraku
    and if you go hungry for too long, it
    impacts your stamina recovery rate.
[15:35] Sunraku
    Naturally, I micromanaged that too!
[15:38] Sunraku
    I'm at just the right level of hunger!
[15:40] Sunraku
    If I can combine these skills just
    right, I know I can win this!
[15:50] Sunraku
    His sword's at his hip.
[15:51] Sunraku
    Another Wind Slash?!
[15:53] Sunraku
    I'll block it with a head-parry
    from Parry Protect!
[15:59] Sunraku
    Here it comes!
[16:00] Sunraku
    Parry!
[16:04] Sunraku
    Huh?
[16:07] Sunraku
    What the... Where's the slash?
[16:26] Wethermon
    A...
[16:28] Wethermon
    Alice.
[16:32] (Flashback) Vysache
    He's an awkward one, you see.
[16:36] (Flashback) Vysache
    He's a living corpse,
    unable to even put himself to rest.
[16:41] (Flashback) Emul
    So as you face down Wethermon the
    Tombguard, I wish to entrust this to you.
[16:51] Wethermon
    Alice.
[16:54] Sunraku
    Alice?
[16:55] Wethermon
    A...lice...

    ID key...
[17:00] Wethermon
    fragment.
[17:03] Wethermon
    Alice... is still... known?
[17:07] Sunraku
    This isn't a skill incantation.
[17:11] Wethermon
    For endless eternity...
[17:14] Sunraku
    He's talking?
[17:15] Wethermon
    I have lain here... rotting...
[17:18] Wethermon
    I did not... see... their fate...
[17:18] Sunraku
    I thought he was a corpse animated
    by the machinery,
[17:23] Sunraku
    but maybe not?
[17:23] Wethermon
    Indeed...
[17:25] Wethermon
    the frontier... has been established...
[17:30] Sunraku
    "They"? "Frontier"?
[17:33] Sunraku
    Are they seriously giving
    me story stuff now*?!
[17:39] Wethermon
    Let us do battle... Child of the Second Plan.
[17:46] Sunraku
    I've got every neuron in my body
    hard-focused on beating you.
[17:49] Sunraku
    Don't make me think about anything else.
[17:52] Wethermon
    If you intend... to infringe upon my vow...
[18:02] Wethermon
    Then be crushed by my
SIGN    Clear Sky Conquest
[18:07] Wethermon
    Clear Sky Conquest.
[18:10] Sunraku
    Guess he's finally getting serious!
[18:13] Sunraku
    Sounds great! Bring it on!
[18:17] Wethermon
    Wind Slash.
[18:21] Sunraku
    I thought maybe you'd changed things up,
[18:23] Sunraku
    but a standard Wind Slash—
[18:24] Wethermon
    Thunderclap.
[18:26] Sunraku
    Not a second's break between them?!
[18:28] Sunraku
    What's the big hurry, Wethermon?!
[18:30] Wethermon
    Nimbus Fist.
[18:35] Sunraku
    You kidding me?!
[18:36] Sunraku
    The freaking lightning*
    hasn't even stopped yet!
[18:44] Sunraku
    He's chaining attacks like crazy,
[18:46] Sunraku
    with basically no time lag between them...
[18:48] Wethermon
    Tidal Rush!
[18:59] Sunraku
    You can do that one with your
    sword in hand, too, huh?!
[19:02] Wethermon
    Wind Slash.
[19:03] Sunraku
    At the head?
[19:04] Wethermon
    Wind Slash.
[19:05] Sunraku
    The torso?!
[19:06] Wethermon
    Wind Slash.
[19:07] Sunraku
    The legs?!
[19:08] Sunraku
    Okay, I get it now!
[19:10] Sunraku
    You can spam attacks without recast time!
SIGN    Recast Time
    = Time needed before a skill can be reused
[19:15] Sunraku
    That's pretty messed up!
[19:18] Sunraku
    Am I supposed to see every move coming?
[19:21] Sunraku
    That feels like pretty broken game balance...
[19:24] Sunraku
    The hell is he telegraphing?!
[19:26] Wethermon
    Pyroclastic Wyrm.
[19:32] Sunraku
    A new move, now*?!
[19:53] Sunraku
    Black clouds?
[19:56] Wethermon
    Ash Blizzard!
[20:02] Sunraku
    A combination attack?!
[20:13] Sunraku
    What's the matter, man?
[20:14] Sunraku
    If you don't get me on the first hit,
    you miss your chance!
SIGN    Parry Protect Skate Foot
[20:20] Sunraku
    Still, I don't have much in the way*
    of stamina or dodge skills left...
[20:23] Sunraku
    If this chain attack barrage keeps up...
[20:29] Sunraku
    Well, bring it on!
[20:32] Sunraku
    I'll hang on with pure chutzpah!
[20:34] Sunraku
    It's gonna take more than this to beat me!
[20:37] Sunraku
    And I've got a few ideas of my—

    He's fast!
[20:47] Sunraku
    I'm already running as fast as I can!
[20:49] Wethermon
    I bring the ultimate end.
[20:52] Sunraku
    What the hell? My legs—
[20:54] Wethermon
    With transformation of "clear sky,"
[20:54] Sunraku
    This isn't like his other moves.
[20:58] Wethermon
    I deal the ultimate

    But this move is way too nasty.

    Will it reach?!

    Wait!

    The day starts early for a girl in love.
SIGN    Why are you up so early?
[23:55] Rei
    W-Well, it's just... er...
[23:57] Rei
    I th-thought it might be nice... if we
    could walk to school together, maybe...
[24:04] Narrator
    Even on the most ordinary of days,
[24:07] Narrator
    the most trivial things can
    change the scenery you see.
[24:11] Narrator
    As a girl in love, Rei Saiga's gaze is focused.
[24:15] Rei
    W-Well, I know the route Hizutome-kun
    walks to school, so...
SIGN    How did you find that out?
[24:23] Rei
    I-It was a total coincidence!
[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!
