**[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!
**[12:25] Oikatzo**
Red plus black makes crimson!
***SIGN*** Combo Spirit Fist
**[12:31] Oikatzo**

***SIGN*** Flame Crimson
**[12:35] Pencilgon**

Let's get to it, Katzo-kun!

Dual Impact!
***SIGN*** Dual Impact
**[12:48] Oikatzo**
With my right fist, I create
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!

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—*

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**

**[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...

**[17:03] Wethermon**
Alice... is still... known?

*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

**[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

**[19:15] Sunraku**
That's pretty messed up!
**[19:18] Sunraku**

**[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!

**[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!

And I've got a few ideas of my—

**[23:46] Emul**
Mini!
***SIGN*** SLF Theater
**[23:50] Narrator**
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!
