[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!

[05:42] 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.
SIGN Climax Boost

[08:25] Sunraku
and make sure I have it at my disposal.
SIGN Sunraku
[08:32] Sunraku

[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.

[11:06] Pencilgon
Adding armor-piercing buffs to your weapons
wears down their durability very quickly.
[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!

[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!

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

[15:17] Pencilgon
I only need one arm for you!

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—

It's the best weapon possible
for these circumstances.
[18:41] Sunraku

First, I got some chocolate bars.

Then I chopped it up.

Then I melted it with a water bath.

That all went as planned.

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!

You're filling your mouth? That loudly?!

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!
