    Help yourself.

[02:09] Psyger-0
    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...

[03:14] Psyger-0
    O-Oh, is that it?
[03:17] Psyger-0
    Buddies... buddies...
[03:19] Psyger-0
    Friends.

    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.

[08:09] Tsukuri
    I said Ashura Kai couldn't do it.

    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!

    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

    They live for a moment,
    then remain for eternity...

    The flower's name reflects
    that— "Setsunatowa."
[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
    Set-chan.
