[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...

[22:38] 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!

[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!
