1. It is the present day.Copy !req
2. Fully-immersive games, in which
the users wear VR headsetsCopy !req
3. to play as fully-realized
denizens of a fictional world...Copy !req
4. are dominating the gaming world.Copy !req
5. The pinnacle of these VR games,
boasting over 30 million players worldwide,Copy !req
6. is known as a god-tier game.Copy !req
7. Its name...Copy !req
8. is Shangri-La Frontier!Copy !req
9. The Uncompromising GatekeeperCopy !req
10. The workshop should be down here.Copy !req
11. Right.Copy !req
12. And that's where we'll find the
marjik oppleration zoonit, right?Copy !req
13. It's awfully deep...Copy !req
14. Yeah... I kinda doubt it's
cushioned at the bottom.Copy !req
15. What's the play here?Copy !req
16. Well, I've got a rope.Copy !req
17. Hey, that's awesome!Copy !req
18. Then let's get—Copy !req
19. Friends help friends, right?Copy !req
20. Hold it!Copy !req
21. Your impulse to flee on sight
tells me you saw my email.Copy !req
22. It's not nice to leave someone on read.Copy !req
23. Now's the time for any last words.Copy !req
24. Y-You people...Copy !req
25. How did you find me?Copy !req
26. You filled the Inventoria with Crystal
Scorpion materials, remember?Copy !req
27. I'm definitely going to interrogate
you on how you got so many later...Copy !req
28. But those things only spawn
on the Crystal Nest Cliff.Copy !req
29. Spawn = AppearCopy !req
30. That's right!Copy !req
31. I forgot I share the
Inventoria with these two!Copy !req
32. We figured you were trying
to bull ahead without us,Copy !req
33. so we came here to the Ruins of Past Glories.Copy !req
34. I was careless!Copy !req
35. Wh-Who're these two?Copy !req
36. They know Sunraku-san!Copy !req
37. That's right!Copy !req
38. They're my precious pawns—Copy !req
39. I mean, friends!Copy !req
40. Freudian slip much?Copy !req
41. I'd like to ask about this
black cat and rabbit, myself.Copy !req
42. An excellent choice!Copy !req
43. I am the swordsmaster—Copy !req
44. We don't have time for your whole intro.Copy !req
45. They're that thing that
remains outside of your graspCopy !req
46. no matter how hard you long for it...Copy !req
47. Unique quest NPCs, a blacksmith...Copy !req
48. I'm Bilac.Copy !req
49. And a swordsmaster.Copy !req
50. You may call me Aramiys!Copy !req
51. All right. You're making good progress, huh?Copy !req
52. Unique...Copy !req
53. Unique!Copy !req
54. It gets worse by the day.Copy !req
55. Damn you!Copy !req
56. Why am I the only one who can't find one?Copy !req
57. Luck does play a role in these things.Copy !req
58. I'll get the story on your email later.Copy !req
59. I'm fine with being your pawn, too.
Just help me out, would you?Copy !req
60. It's about the Non-Standard Ether Reactor.Copy !req
61. To fulfill the conditions
we need to repair it,Copy !req
62. we need an item called the
magic operations unit.Copy !req
63. There's a really good chance it's down there.Copy !req
64. So I'm gonna have to ask you to
do some bungee jumping, Oikatzo.Copy !req
65. Why me?Copy !req
66. Do it yourself!Copy !req
67. Hey, yeah, let's get on down there.Copy !req
68. Katzo-kun. Go!Copy !req
69. Huh? You turned on me just like that.Copy !req
70. You really are twisted.Copy !req
71. Well, fine.Copy !req
72. If I string 'em together,
I should make it to the bottom.Copy !req
73. Diving into the unknown like that
is a pretty gutsy thing to do.Copy !req
74. If something goes wrong,
he'll be right back up here.Copy !req
75. They really are pawns to you, huh?Copy !req
76. The basement's got a real sci-fi feel.Copy !req
77. You're good! I don't see
any hostiles for now!Copy !req
78. Okay. Let's follow suit.Copy !req
79. It's a pretty big surprise, though.Copy !req
80. The outside just screamed "ruins,"Copy !req
81. but the facility itself is still running.Copy !req
82. Wasn't expecting it to be
brighter down here, either.Copy !req
83. Hey! What's that sound?Copy !req
84. Um, well...Copy !req
85. Guess security's still running, too.Copy !req
86. What's that thing?Copy !req
87. It's got kind of a Wethermon
vibe, don't you think?Copy !req
88. What'd you say?Copy !req
89. Oh, come on.Copy !req
90. Don't tell me this is gonna be
another 30-minute commitment...Copy !req
91. It's definitely got that
"high-tech robot" feel, though.Copy !req
92. But we can't get through
the door unless we beat it.Copy !req
93. Yeah. I'm betting that's the workshop.Copy !req
94. Our little buddy there has
gotta be the main gatekeeper.Copy !req
95. Y-You think we can handle this?Copy !req
96. No need to worry, my black rabbit maiden.Copy !req
97. Before my swordsmanship...Copy !req
98. None may stand!Copy !req
99. Sworvant Solo...Copy !req
100. Primal Slash!Copy !req
101. Sworvant Solo
Primal SlashCopy !req
102. The power may be reduced at a distance...Copy !req
103. But still, it repelled it?Copy !req
104. It's on a totally different
level than the golems before.Copy !req
105. It won't be an issue.Copy !req
106. You've got three people
who took out a Colossus.Copy !req
107. It's Wolfgang's first joint operation!Copy !req
108. Clan WolfgangCopy !req
109. We're making our way through, four-arms!Copy !req
110. Vorpal Blade Tech, Moon's Reflection V3!Copy !req
111. Nice! Draw aggro...Copy !req
112. Then use the opening to rush right in!Copy !req
113. Wall-running is a must!Copy !req
114. Beams now?Copy !req
115. Gotcha!Copy !req
116. You're wide open!Copy !req
117. Got yourself a pretty strong shield, huh?Copy !req
118. It's there!Copy !req
119. Whoops!Copy !req
120. Typical gatekeeper...Copy !req
121. He puts guarding the gate
over beating the hostiles.Copy !req
122. But...Copy !req
123. That might not be the smartest move, y'know?Copy !req
124. Sworvant Solo!Copy !req
125. Add Spell!Copy !req
126. Primal Slash!Copy !req
127. Magic Edge!Copy !req
128. Primal Slash
Magic EdgeCopy !req
129. All right...Copy !req
130. I'll keep laying it on!Copy !req
131. All or Nothing!Copy !req
132. All or NothingCopy !req
133. I'm gonna bet you're a tough
nut under most circumstances.Copy !req
134. Too bad for you...Copy !req
135. Our party...Copy !req
136. is nothing but attackers.Copy !req
137. Titan BlastCopy !req
138. Titan Blast!Copy !req
139. Dark Overstrike!Copy !req
140. Dark OverstrikeCopy !req
141. Glowing PierceCopy !req
142. Glowing Pierce!Copy !req
143. I can't believe we won by just dog-piling it.Copy !req
144. A DPS-only party is usually
supposed to be a problem.Copy !req
145. Sunraku-san!Copy !req
146. Dear maiden!Copy !req
147. Easy-peasy!Copy !req
148. I knew you could do it.Copy !req
149. All that and it's completely unfazed.Copy !req
150. Is that the "main weapon"
you were keeping in storage?Copy !req
151. Yeah. Holy Spear Caledfwlch.Copy !req
152. It's one of only five
Hero Weapons in this game.Copy !req
153. Having one unlocks the Hero job.Copy !req
154. I worked so hard to get this little baby!Copy !req
155. SLF's doomed with a Hero like her.Copy !req
156. Aw, don't talk like that.Copy !req
157. Heroes are basically
assassins anyway, y'know?Copy !req
158. Yeah, good luck with that reasoning.Copy !req
159. Failed again, huh?Copy !req
160. Still can't get the door open?Copy !req
161. You said you had a skill
that could open it easy.Copy !req
162. It's only skill level 1!Copy !req
163. My success rate is still low!Copy !req
164. Treasure Hunter skill, "Ruin Sense."Copy !req
165. Ruin Sense
Appraise ruins and unlock how they workCopy !req
166. Ow! Failed again.Copy !req
167. You think I got time for a bath?Copy !req
168. I figured four-arms back there would drop
a card key or something after we beat it,Copy !req
169. but I guess they want us to work for it.Copy !req
170. It's all down to the RNG.Copy !req
171. The random number generator...Copy !req
172. Nothing but bad memories there.Copy !req
173. The RNG gods have never been
your friend, have they?Copy !req
174. All-Heart Chronicle, wasn't it?Copy !req
175. All-Heart ChronicleCopy !req
176. You couldn't pull the item you needed
to cure the female lead's illness,Copy !req
177. and spent three weeks straight
doing RNG checks to no avail...Copy !req
178. Don't remind me!Copy !req
179. It was more like Fall-Apart Chronicle
by the end there.Copy !req
180. Hey, Katzo! Land your skill check already!Copy !req
181. You've got me reliving past traumas, here!Copy !req
182. Analysis complete!Copy !req
183. Looks like it's set to open if
it scans a working Legacy Weapon.Copy !req
184. Guess that's the difference
between you and me, Sunraku.Copy !req
185. Big talk from a guy who hasn't
found a single unique.Copy !req
186. Hey, awesome!Copy !req
187. It's truly enormous!Copy !req
188. Definitely some kind of lab.Copy !req
189. This is our ticket!Copy !req
190. I can smell the rare items from here!Copy !req
191. Then we'd better search
every nook and cranny...Copy !req
192. That magic applications unit
has gotta be here somewhere!Copy !req
193. He's pretty down for this, huh?Copy !req
194. Just eager to get his toys working, I'm sure.Copy !req
195. I'll surely find it!Copy !req
196. This might be a pain in the butt.Copy !req
197. A hologram?Copy !req
198. That's a weird-looking monster.Copy !req
199. Kinda creeps me out.Copy !req
200. Is this the enemy the
people here were fighting?Copy !req
201. I know that symbol, right?Copy !req
202. Yeah, it's an omega.Copy !req
203. You usually see it on ultimate
weapons and boss enemies and stuff.Copy !req
204. Still can't get a grip on this setting.Copy !req
205. Hey.Copy !req
206. I hear you.Copy !req
207. What's up?Copy !req
208. Aw, nothing!Copy !req
209. It's gonna be pretty hard sorting
through all this, though.Copy !req
210. It's an important item, right?Copy !req
211. Figures it wouldn't be easy to find.Copy !req
212. Do we even know what it looks like?Copy !req
213. Yeah...Copy !req
214. The marjik oppleration
zoonit is about this big...Copy !req
215. Sunraku-san! Sunraku-san!Copy !req
216. What do you think?Copy !req
217. Don't I look simply stunning?Copy !req
218. Hey, what have you been up to?Copy !req
219. I found it underneath that desk!Copy !req
220. Throw it out right now, Emul-chan.Copy !req
221. And it's shaped like...Copy !req
222. Th-That!Copy !req
223. Huh? What?Copy !req
224. Emul's wearing it like a hat!Copy !req
225. I-It's the marjik oppleration
zoonit I've been looking for!Copy !req
226. You kidding me?Copy !req
227. And I'm the one who found it!Copy !req
228. As I'd expect of my dear maiden's sister!Copy !req
229. I can use this to learn all
about Divinity-era weapons!Copy !req
230. Great work, Emul!Copy !req
231. Bilac! Time is money!Copy !req
232. Let's head back to Rabituza and get—Copy !req
233. We know you're trying to give
us the slip, Sunraku-kun.Copy !req
234. We know you haven't forgotten that
you agreed to discuss our email.Copy !req
235. There're people who wanna meet me?Copy !req
236. Since we beat Wethermon together,
now everybody knows that I know you.Copy !req
237. It's a massive pain in the ass.Copy !req
238. You know what it's like to be surrounded
by a feral crowd begging you,Copy !req
239. "Give us info on the rabbit"
and "Take us to Sunraku,"Copy !req
240. and they just never stop?Copy !req
241. As for me,Copy !req
242. the head of Schwarz Vulf came personally
with the Attack Master to negotiate with me.Copy !req
243. How's that my problem?Copy !req
244. Huh?Copy !req
245. Wait, then...Copy !req
246. The Library folks haven't
come to see you yet?Copy !req
247. Library?Copy !req
248. The lore clan?Copy !req
249. Crap!Copy !req
250. Sunraku-kun!Copy !req
251. Did you sell me out to that old man?Copy !req
252. How could you do that?Copy !req
253. Having to answer all those
questions... it's obnoxious.Copy !req
254. I just wanna enjoy the game too!Copy !req
255. Listen, you...Copy !req
256. Actually, this could work.Copy !req
257. Besides, I gotta move the magic
operations unit event along!Copy !req
258. Do you gotta be there for it?Copy !req
259. Nah, I can handle it myself.Copy !req
260. You heard the lady.Copy !req
261. Thought so.Copy !req
262. Gimme a break, here!Copy !req
263. It's not like I care either way.Copy !req
264. Unlike all the ways I care for you,
my black rabbit maiden!Copy !req
265. Buzz off, loser!Copy !req
266. Maiden!Copy !req
267. So let's leave the magic operations
unit to the little black bunnyCopy !req
268. while we head back to Eighthold.Copy !req
269. We can work out the rest later.Copy !req
270. No getting outta this, huh?Copy !req
271. Indeed...Copy !req
272. Sunraku-kun. Do you...Copy !req
273. Do you really wear that
every time you're in town?Copy !req
274. What do you want?Copy !req
275. It's the best way to hide from the gawkers.Copy !req
276. And it's head equipment, so I can
actually wear it despite Lycagon's Mark.Copy !req
277. I thought you just liked showing your bod.Copy !req
278. Like hell I do!Copy !req
279. I wanna wear actual equipment too, okay?Copy !req
280. Damn it...Copy !req
281. Why do I gotta be railroaded in
a game that's all about freedom?Copy !req
282. Can you take us to an alley already?Copy !req
283. There's no damn room in here!Copy !req
284. Maiden! There's always
room for you in my arms!Copy !req
285. Okay, I'll take the marjik
oppleration zoonit.Copy !req
286. Sure, get to it.Copy !req
287. Can't wait to see Ancient Craftsman Bilac.Copy !req
288. Thanks for your help, too, Aramiys.Copy !req
289. Whenever my maiden is in need,
I'll always come running!Copy !req
290. All right, we're out.Copy !req
291. C'mon, Ignoramus.Copy !req
292. Fare thee well!Copy !req
293. I wish you'd stayed in Rabituza too, Emul.Copy !req
294. You want to leave me behind again?Copy !req
295. I dunno what those two have planned.Copy !req
296. We still have plans for you, Emul-chan.Copy !req
297. We need you to stick with us.Copy !req
298. Plans?Copy !req
299. F...Copy !req
300. F...Copy !req
301. Found... you...Copy !req
302. What the...Copy !req
303. Emul-chan!Copy !req
304. Emul-chan!Copy !req
305. SLF MiniCopy !req
306. SLF Theater!Copy !req
307. Mini!Copy !req
308. SLF TheaterCopy !req
309. What's your playstyle in a game?Copy !req
310. Logical. Thorough.Copy !req
311. Did you know "acqua pazza"
means "crazy water"?Copy !req
312. Oh? Is that what pazza means?Copy !req
313. Wait, is that the question?Copy !req
314. What do you think
about Sunraku-san?Copy !req
315. He's the one who invited me...Copy !req
316. or, I guess, dragged me down
into the trash game swamp.Copy !req
317. What do you think about Pencilgon-san?Copy !req
318. Having her against you is bad.Copy !req
319. Having her on your side is worse.Copy !req
320. Just a problem in general.Copy !req
321. Do you know the difference between bouillabaisse and acqua pazza?Copy !req
322. Yeah, no.Copy !req
323. Hey, what's with all the questions
about European cuisine?Copy !req
324. Give us the most side-splitting monk-related joke you can.Copy !req
325. Um...Copy !req
326. Wh-What'd the monk throw
to the dog? A mona-stick!Copy !req
327. 5 pointsCopy !req
328. I'm gonna kick your ass, Sunra—Copy !req
