[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.

[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.

[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

[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
    I've hit its back, arms, and legs multiple
    times over the course of the fight,
[11:17] Pencilgon
    but it's just as tough all over.
[11:20] Pencilgon
    Still... there's one place where the
    armor is tougher than the others.
[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!

    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!

    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.

[14:51] 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.

    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    Even though it was tastier than store-bought, the fact
    that it looked exactly like store-bought made it creepier.
