SIGN Those Who Illuminate The World's Darkness
[01:30] Bilac
Th-This is...
[01:33] Bilac
Aroncaleth Hard Lapis, the material
known as the king of coatings?!
[01:38] Bilac
And the "bright star plucked from the
heavens," Lapisteria Stellar Crystal?!
[01:44] Bilac
Hang on a minute!
[01:45] Bilac
You got Lowenanva Amber Crystal, too?!
[01:47] Bilac
You don't see 'em at this
size very often, either...
[01:52] Bilac
Hey, an Amurcidian Quartz!
[01:57] Emul
I have no idea what she's talking about.
[02:01] Sunraku
There's more where that came from, Bilac!
[02:04] Bilac
Crystal Leg?
SIGN Crystal Talon, Carapace, Leg, Pincer
[02:05] Bilac
Crystal Carapace?
[02:06] Bilac
Crystal Pincer?!
[02:08] Sunraku
I got the complete Crystal Scorpion set!
[02:13] Bilac
You saying you really went
to the land of the crystals?!
[02:17] Bilac
All these rare materials are
gonna make my head explode!
[02:21] Emul
He failed to retrieve the Crystal Scorpion
Stinger, though, so that isn't—
[02:26] Sunraku
Here! Good little girls
gotta eat their carrots!
[02:31] Sunraku
So, Bilac, I gotta know...
[02:34] Sunraku
What kind of weapon can you make
with all these amazing materials?!
[02:38] Bilac
I never had any interest in gemstones
outside of their material value, but...
[02:48] Bilac
When you've got a gem of this quality
right in front of your eyes...
[02:51] Bilac
It's hard not to feel pretty delighted.
[02:57] Bilac
I think I finally get
how the Cait Siths feel!
[03:18] Bilac
The heck was that about?!
[03:21] Sunraku
I was asking what you could make with 'em!
[03:26] Bilac
Right. Well...
[03:28] Bilac
For sure, I can sure make weapons outta
the Crystal Scorpion parts and the ore...
[03:33] Sunraku
Yes, yes.
[03:35] Bilac
But gems like these are better
off being made into accessories.
SIGN Smith
[03:39] Bilac
Which means it's less a
job for a smith like me
[03:42] Bilac
and more a job for a jeweler.
SIGN Jeweler
[03:43] Sunraku
A jeweler?
[03:46] Bilac
You know those little items that
produce effects when you slap 'em on?
[03:49] Bilac
Jewelers specialize in making
the kind that incorporate gems.
[03:55] Sunraku
Oh, so they make accessories?
[03:59] Sunraku
So? Any jewelers here in Rabituza?
[04:02] Sunraku
Not another of Emul's sisters, I hope?
[04:06] Bilac
Sorry, but there aren't any jewelers in Rabituza.
[04:09] Sunraku
Aw, for real?
[04:11] Sunraku
Wait, it's not a rare job
or something, is it?!
[04:13] Sunraku
What the hell?!
[04:15] Sunraku
All my great stuff is
gonna go to waste, then!
[04:17] Bilac
Would you let me finish?
[04:19] Bilac
I've got a connection
that can make it happen.
[04:22] Bilac
Though...
[04:24] Bilac
I really hate asking that guy for stuff...
[04:30] Bilac
Still, my pride as a blacksmith...
as a craftsman...
[04:34] Bilac
bristles at letting these
wonderful things go to waste.
[04:40] Sunraku
Quit putting on airs and call him in already!
[04:43] Bilac
All right. I guess I gotta.
[04:46] Bilac
I'll call him in, then.
[04:48] Bilac
Hey, Ignoramus. C'mon in.
[04:52] Sunraku
Shouldn't you call louder?
The guy's not in the next room, right?
[04:56] Aramiys
You called, my beauteous raven-haired lady?!
[04:59] Sunraku
Freaking hell!
[05:03] Aramiys
Were I tumbling into a bottomless ravine...
[05:07] Aramiys
You need only call my name,
and I would appear at your side!
[05:12] Sunraku
The hell am I looking at?
[05:16] Aramiys
I am the Swordsmaster!
SIGN Swordsmaster
[05:17] Aramiys
The Wild Wind!
SIGN Wild Wind
[05:19] Aramiys
The land of Cait Siths, Cazzeria's own...
SIGN Cait Sith
SIGN Cazzeria
[05:22] Aramiys
Vice-captain of the Musketeers in Boots...
[05:24] Aramiys
Aramiys!
SIGN Musketeers in Boots Vice-Captain
SIGN Aramiys
[05:32] Sunraku
What was that name? "Alarmist"?
[05:36] Sunraku
And this windbag is the jeweler?
[05:38] Bilac
Nah, not him.
[05:40] Bilac
And you can just call him Ignoramus.
[05:43] Aramiys
And I believe you are...
my lovely maiden's sister!
[05:46] Emul
Yes, Emul!
[05:48] Emul
And this is Sunraku-san!
[05:50] Aramiys
Now, how might this unworthy
Aramiys serve you, milady?
[05:55] Aramiys
At your word, fair creature,
I would challenge Lycagon itself!
[05:59] Bilac
Hey, great idea.
Go dash yourself on that rock...
[06:03] Bilac
At least, that's what I'd like to say,
[06:05] Bilac
but I got a favor to ask you today.
[06:07] Aramiys
A favor? You have need of me, milady?!
[06:09] Bilac
I want you to ask your
jeweler buddy, D'Arnyaata,
[06:12] Bilac
to whip up some accessories.
[06:14] Aramiys
Oho?
[06:16] Bilac
And I'm not talking any old accessories.
[06:19] Bilac
I'm talking about a masterwork.
[06:23] Aramiys
My, what a truly spectacular
collection of jewels!
[06:27] Emul
Sunraku-san here collected them!
[06:30] Sunraku
'Sup?
[06:32] Aramiys
I first took you for a birdman,
but you've the body of a human...
[06:36] Aramiys
Though I've never heard of a
human with the head of a bird...
[06:39] Sunraku
I'm human, okay?
[06:41] Bilac
Not just any human, though.
[06:44] Bilac
He's been declared worthy
by the Night Emperor,
[06:46] Bilac
he beat the Eternal Gravekeeper,
[06:48] Bilac
and he's Pops's underling.
[06:52] Aramiys
This human did that?
[06:55] Aramiys
You'll have to forgive me
[06:58] Aramiys
if I harbor doubts.
[07:10] Aramiys
I see.
[07:12] Aramiys
I suppose it is true!
[07:15] Sunraku
Is this guy for real?!
[07:16] Bilac
You lousy feline!
[07:18] Bilac
Quit screwing around in my sacred forge!
[07:22] Emul
Sunraku-san! Are you all right?
[07:25] Aramiys
Ah, fair lady! Your expressions
of love do pain me so!
[07:29] Aramiys
A bit more to the right! Ow, ow, ow!
[07:33] Aramiys
Now, if I may, birdman of the blue...
[07:35] Aramiys
Rather, Sunraku-dono...
[07:38] Aramiys
May I assume you wish me to
use all of these gemstones?
[07:43] Sunraku
Yeah... I guess the only other
option is selling 'em, so...
[07:48] Sunraku
Take good care of 'em, Aramiys.
[07:50] Aramiys
It shall be done!
[07:52] Aramiys
This unworthy vice-captain
of the Musketeers in Boots,
[07:55] Aramiys
the Wild Wind, Aramiys,
[07:58] Aramiys
shall see you the finest
of accessories crafted.
[08:03] Aramiys
Kiss!
[08:09] Bilac
The hell you think you're doing?!
[08:14] Aramiys
I shall see you anon!
[08:19] Sunraku
He disappeared.
[08:20] Emul
A teleportation spell!
[08:22] Bilac
Frickin' Ignoramus.
[08:24] Bilac
I really hate that guy.
[08:27] Sunraku
Um, mind if I ask how
you two know each other?
[08:31] Bilac
Huh?
[08:32] Bilac
I made a weapon for the jerk once. That's it.
[08:36] Emul
He's the vice-captain of the
kingdom of Cait Siths, Cazzeria!
[08:40] Emul
He's much stronger than he
appears at first glance!
[08:43] Sunraku
Yeah, I'll bet.
[08:44] Sunraku
I don't think he put his
all into that attack, even.
[08:47] Sunraku
And he did call himself "Swordsmaster"...
[08:50] Bilac
Well, if we're talking
pure fighting ability,
[08:52] Bilac
he's probably got me beat.
[08:55] Sunraku
Kingdom of the Cait Siths, Cazzeria, huh?
[08:59] Sunraku
I'd love to ask more questions about that,
but I'm pretty tired all of a sudden.
[09:04] Sunraku
I think I'll get some rest.
[09:06] Emul
Oh?
[09:07] Emul
Well... if you're tired,
then I suppose you must...
[09:13] Sunraku
I'll take a quick nap, then come right back.
[09:16] Sunraku
And once I'm back, we'll seriously start
searching for the magic operations unit.
[09:20] Sunraku
Gotta make an Ancient Craftsman
out of Bilac, after all!
[09:23] Emul
Yes indeed!
[09:24] Bilac
You're a real bundle of energy, too, huh?
[09:40] Rakuro
So tired...
[09:44] Rakuro
Guess I'll log in again this evening...
[09:48] Rakuro
Huh? Got some emails...
[09:52] Oikatzo
Hey, got a question for you!
[09:54] Oikatzo
Where are you right now?
[09:55] Oikatzo
There's a thing I wanna
meet up and talk about!
[10:00] Pencilgon
Question for Sunraku-kun!
[10:02] Pencilgon
Where are you right now? Fivelle?
[10:05] Pencilgon
I'd like to meet up with you and
discuss something in person.
[10:08] Pencilgon
You free this evening?
[10:10] Rakuro
What the heck?
[10:12] Rakuro
Even a carnivorous plant is more subtle...
[10:16] Rakuro
The hell are those two plotting now?
[10:20] Rakuro
Well, either way,
I've used too much brainpower.
[10:25] Rakuro
Gonna sleep now.
[10:37] Sunraku
Okay!
[10:38] Sunraku
That little nap was just what I needed!
[10:41] Sunraku
Let's resume the plan to cultivate Bilac!
[10:45] Emul
The goal: become an Ancient Craftsman!
SIGN Ancient Craftsman
[10:47] Oikatzo
Harrumph! Harrumph!
[10:47] Pencilgon
Hmph! Hmph!
[10:47] Sunraku
I sorta ended up ignoring
their emails, but...
[10:52] Sunraku
Well, whatever.
[10:54] Sunraku
It was probably just gonna
be annoying stuff anyway.
[10:57] Sunraku
Let's start by rounding up Bilac.
[11:01] Sunraku
Gotta get that magic operations unit
from the Ruins of Past Glories!
[11:05] Emul
Ah, there's something I must
tell you regarding that...
[11:10] Aramiys
Milady!
[11:11] Aramiys
Though I am ever pleased by the
feel of your foot upon me...
[11:14] Aramiys
It really does hurt!
[11:16] Bilac
I'm trying to put you, and the world,
out of our collective misery!
[11:22] Aramiys
Ouch! That's my spine!
[11:26] Sunraku
What's with this married
couple comedy routine?
[11:29] Bilac
Who the hell are you calling a couple?!
[11:31] Sunraku
Speaking of, Aramiys.
Didn't you go back to Cazzeria?
[11:36] Sunraku
What'd you do with my jewels?
[11:38] Aramiys
Rest easy, friend!
[11:40] Aramiys
I have delivered your jewels
to their best destination,
[11:42] Aramiys
the jeweler D'Arnyaata!
[11:45] Aramiys
Then I returned to lend
aid to my fair maiden!
[11:50] Aramiys
She is embarking on a journey to
the wild frontier, is she not?
[11:55] Aramiys
If so...
[11:56] Aramiys
Then I, Wild Wind Aramiys,
[11:59] Aramiys
am obliged to offer my aid!
[12:01] Sunraku
Which means... what?
[12:03] Emul
It appears he intends to accompany us.
[12:06] Sunraku
For real?
[12:08] Sunraku
Bilac said he was stronger than her...
[12:11] Sunraku
Would having another post-level-90 character
take the challenge out of things?
[12:16] Sunraku
I gotta think about this one...
[12:20] Bilac
I'd leave him behind if I could,
[12:22] Bilac
but he's gonna tag along,
no matter what we say.
[12:26] Bilac
Apparently the Cait Siths'
king heard about you,
[12:30] Bilac
and got a whole head of steam
about not just making accessories,
[12:32] Bilac
but putting the whole force
of Cazzeria behind you.
[12:36] Sunraku
Huh?
[12:37] Sunraku
Why would he do that?
[12:39] Bilac
Cazzeria and Rabituza are sworn allies, see?
[12:42] Bilac
Being Pops's underling is a bigger
deal than you probably thought.
[12:47] Bilac
Plus, you beat one of the Colossi.
[13:06] Bilac
I'm guessing you still don't grasp
how much pull that gives you.
[13:12] Aramiys
My will is the will of Cazzeria itself!
[13:17] Aramiys
Stand back as I slay all
who stand in milady's way!
[13:24] Bilac
Cait Siths love their gemstones, see?
[13:27] Bilac
Their jewelers, especially,
are skilled as hell,
[13:31] Bilac
but they're famous for pocketing
the materials you give 'em.
[13:33] Sunraku
Huh? What the heck?!
[13:36] Bilac
I listed your accomplishments
to try to head that off,
[13:41] Bilac
but it looks like it came with
a real pain-in-the-ass price.
[13:43] Aramiys
Now, Sunraku-dono!
[13:45] Aramiys
We must begin, post-haste!
[13:46] Aramiys
Let us lead milady to ever-greater heights!
[13:49] Sunraku
By the way, what else might my "pull" get me?
[13:54] Bilac
Well, you got the Night Emperor's
approval tattooed on you,
SIGN Werewolf
[13:58] Bilac
so you could land yourself a
werewolf or lizardman bride.
[13:58] sign
Lizardman
[14:01] Bilac
The ladies are gonna love you.
[14:04] Sunraku
Hey, can we not?
[14:07] Bilac
Well, other than that...
[14:09] Bilac
If you're not careful, you could start a war.
[14:14] Sunraku
C'mon, I'd never do that.
[14:16] Sunraku
I'm a pure, righteous player, here.
[14:21] Bilac
Well, either way, you'd better come
to grips with what you've done,
[14:25] Bilac
or things could get messy real quick.
[14:28] Bilac
I'm just telling you to be careful.
[14:31] Sunraku
Sure...
[14:33] Bilac
Hey, Ignoramus! Time to haul ass!
[14:36] Bilac
Are you ready or not?!
[14:37] Aramiys
But of course, milady!
[14:39] Aramiys
Say the word and it is done!
[14:42] Emul
This has become quite a grandiose matter!
[14:45] Sunraku
Yeah...
[14:46] Sunraku
But meh, I'm sure it's fine.
[14:48] Sunraku
Even if the whole world turns against me...
[14:51] Sunraku
I've sorta been through that
in other worlds anyway.
SIGN Eighth City
Eighthold
[15:03] Emul
I haven't used my human form in so long!
[15:06] Aramiys
Ah, the family resemblance
is clear in your skill!
[15:10] Aramiys
Brilliant transformation prowess!
[15:11] Bilac
Hey, Ignoramus! Watch where
you put your hands, would you?
[15:15] Aramiys
Milady, my skull! Please, not the skull!
[15:19] Bilac
I can see you smiling, asshole!
[15:22] Aramiys
Ouch! Ouch!
[15:23] Sunraku
Chill, you guys!
You're gonna tear the fabric!
[15:26] Sunraku
Sheesh.
[15:28] Sunraku
Even moving through town's
a pain in the ass now.
[15:31] Sunraku
Never thought I'd have to
wear this getup again...
[15:34] Emul
Oh, look, they're selling carrots!
[15:37] Emul
Might we buy some?!
[15:38] Sunraku
You've had plenty already, Emul-chan!
[15:43] Sunraku
I got mahni to spare, thanks to
the Crystal Scorpion battle,
[15:47] Sunraku
but conserve those mana potions, got it?
[15:50] Aramiys
That hurts!
[15:51] Bilac
Knock it off already!
[15:54] Sunraku
If you run out, you'll have to
join us in the robe of hell.
[16:01] Emul
Y-Yes, sir!
[16:03] Sunraku
Well, it beats walking around
in the chimera getup.
[16:08] Sunraku
At least this thing is
official game equipment.
[16:12] Sunraku
As long as I act confident,
no one'll suspect a thing!
[16:18] Bilac
With that getup, people are gonna
give you a wide berth anyway.
[16:23] Sunraku
Yeah, I'm pretty used to that by now.
[16:39] Emul
That one's really staring at us, Sunraku-san!
[16:42] Sunraku
Stay cool, Emul!
[16:44] Sunraku
Just act like you belong here!
[16:45] Sunraku
And you guys, hold still!
[16:47] Emul
She's approaching us!
[16:52] Sunraku
Um... how can I help you, Miss Magical Girl?
[16:56] Sunraku
Ah! Are you perhaps wondering
about this outfit of mine?
[17:00] Sunraku
Peatz runs a shop in Thirdrema, right?
[17:05] Sunraku
Er...
[17:07] Sunraku
See, in Third—
[17:07] Professor
In Thirdrema, there's occasionally an
open-air stall that sells such an item...
[17:13] Professor
The Ritual Medjed Keffiyeh, I believe.
[17:17] Professor
One of the three players involved
in beating Wethermon the Tombguard
[17:23] Professor
is known to wear it, I'm told.
[17:25] Professor
That player typically favors
the Staring Bird Mask.
[17:28] Professor
His name, I believe...
[17:30] Professor
was Sunraku.
[17:33] Sunraku
Crud.
[17:33] Sunraku
Either I blew my cover,
or someone leaked info about me...
[17:37] Sunraku
But more than that, this avatar...
[17:39] Sunraku
it's got a totally deep old man voice!
[17:43] Professor
You match the characteristics of a player
I've been searching for, you see.
[17:48] Professor
Could I have a moment of your time?
[17:49] Sunraku
A magical girl avatar with
the voice of an old man?
[17:52] Sunraku
Is that the gimmick?!
[17:55] Professor
Are you listening to me?
[17:57] Sunraku
The gap between the appearance and the
voice is supposed to be a gag, right?
[18:00] Sunraku
Well... not that I can talk,
given how I go around...
[18:04] Professor
Oh, apologies.
[18:06] Professor
I've failed to introduce myself.
[18:09] Professor
I am leader of the game
lore clan, The Library.
[18:13] Professor
They call me the Professor.
SIGN Leader of Game Lore Clan, The Library
SIGN Professor
[18:16] Sunraku
Game lore clan, The Library...
[18:21] Professor
I believe we're rather
well known here in SLF.
[18:25] Professor
Have you heard of us, perhaps?
[18:27] Professor
We spend our days learning more about the
world and lore of Shangri-La Frontier.
[18:33] Sunraku
Oh, right.
[18:34] Sunraku
I think I heard about them when
I was looking up info online.
[18:37] Sunraku
Seems like they gather info through
ties to tons of players and clans...
[18:42] Sunraku
Which means this "Professor" might
have some handy info for me...
SIGN Bonus Unique Scenario,
Vorpal Epic.
Begin now?
No Yes
[18:48] Sunraku
But I kinda wanna get
where I'm going already...
[18:51] Sunraku
I've already taken up enough time on detours.
[18:54] Sunraku
Plus, if info about Emul
and the others gets out,
[18:56] Sunraku
it's gonna open up a whole can of worms...
[18:59] Professor
Have you felt it, by chance?
[19:02] Professor
The distinctiveness of the
scenario flags in SLF...
[19:08] Professor
Unlike a normal game, which guides you
purposely through a series of events,
[19:14] Professor
players must find the carefully
hidden flags for themselves.
[19:20] Sunraku
That's true.
[19:22] Professor
It truly is a game for the pioneer spirit.
[19:24] Professor
I've never seen a game
with so much to discover.
[19:28] Professor
But most intriguing at all is
SIGN Sunraku
[19:31] Professor
the part that fills the core of
the world, the Seven Colossi.
SIGN You've received a friend request
from the . Accept?
SIGN No
SIGN Yes
SIGN Professor
[19:37] Professor
They're so difficult to fight that
we researchers have hit a wall.
[19:43] Professor
So when I heard that someone had slain
one of them—Wethermon the Tombguard—
[19:50] Professor
my heart danced with joy.
[19:53] Professor
Sunraku-kun.
[19:55] Professor
Will you join us in exploring
the truth of this world?
[21:37] Narrator
This world is filled with
too many games to count,
[21:43] Narrator
though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.
[21:51] Narrator
The greatest of all games
[21:54] Narrator
is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—
[21:59] Narrator
Shangri-La Frontier, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!
[22:07] (Flashback) Oikatzo
Okay, let's do this!
[22:18] (Flashback) Pencilgon
Watch me, Set-chan.
[22:21] Sunraku
The truth of this world...
[22:24] (Flashback) Setsuna
If you wish to know of your roots...
of the truth of this world...
[22:31] (Flashback) Vysache
Would you like to know the
truth of this world, son?
[22:38] Narrator
Can the lover of trash games,
Rakuro Hizutome AKA Sunraku
[22:44] Narrator
unlock the truth of this world?!
[22:57] Narrator
And there was another
thing he didn't realize...
[23:01] Narrator
That the night of his rematch
with one of* SLF *Seven Colossi,
[23:10] Narrator
Lycagon the Nightslayer,
was not that far off...
[23:27] Kids
SLF Theater!
SIGN SLF Mini
SIGN Gems, Ore,
and Heads of Equal Hardness
[23:31] Emul
Mini!
SIGN SLF Theater
[23:35] Narrator
Bilac, the Vorpal Bunny blacksmith.
[23:38] Narrator
Day after day, she works at her anvil,
[23:40] Narrator
dreaming of someday reaching,
and surpassing, her father's greatness.
[23:48] Sunraku
I got you some pretty rare stuff here.
[23:50] Bilac
Well... they've got pretty
good specs, sure...
[23:54] Bilac
But my blacksmith instinct is
telling me they're not quite right.
[23:57] Sunraku
Your instinct is pretty selfish.
[24:00] Sunraku
So, what kind of ore would
your instinct rather have?
[24:04] Bilac
More like... well...
[24:06] Bilac
Let's see...
[24:07] Bilac
I wanna make an alloy.
[24:09] Sunraku
So you need iron ore, huh?
[24:11] Sunraku
All right.
[24:13] Sunraku
Let's go, Emul!
[24:14] Emul
Righty-o!
[24:17] Emul
Sunraku-san! You must run faster!
[24:22] Sunraku
Okay. We got it.
[24:27] Sunraku
You got a problem with this, too?!
[24:29] Bilac
Well... if I wanna make stronger weapons,
I kinda need gemstones, too...
[24:35] Sunraku
Fine, fine.
[24:36] Sunraku
I'll get you some gemstones, then!
[24:38] Sunraku
Let's go, Emul!
[24:39] Emul
W-We're not going there, are we?!
[24:49] Sunraku
That should... do it, right?
[24:53] Bilac
While you were out, I started thinking.
[24:56] Bilac
Maybe it'd be better to use monster
materials or wood or something.
[25:02] Sunraku
I've got better materials right here.
[25:05] Bilac
What?
[25:06] Sunraku
Ore.
[25:07] Sunraku
Gems.
[25:08] Sunraku
And a head as hard as either of them!
[25:18] Sunraku
Don't totally change directions
right before the job!
[25:22] Bilac
You're the one who said you
wanted the ultimate weapon!
[25:26] Emul
W-W-Wait, you two!
[25:28] Emul
Please, no fighting!
