00:20.220 --> 00:25.390
In the 21st century, the companies
involved in VRMMO creation
00:25.390 --> 00:28.690
produced one virtual world after another.
00:28.690 --> 00:30.770
From alternate dimensions
to subterranean worlds,
00:30.770 --> 00:33.940
every possible setting was explored.
00:33.940 --> 00:38.200
Then, one long-established company
created a revolutionary piece of software.
00:38.200 --> 00:42.030
Incorporating an ultra-fast
general-purpose AI called R-Evo
00:42.030 --> 00:45.370
that made NPCs no different
from actual humans;
00:45.370 --> 00:49.500
boasting an open-ended story system
with over 10^52 branches;
00:49.500 --> 00:55.090
and achieving the previously impossible
feat of reproducing all 5 senses,
00:55.090 --> 00:57.840
this game, which pursued
the ultimate realism,
00:57.840 --> 01:01.050
entered the scene with a great splash.
01:01.050 --> 01:01.890
However,
01:01.890 --> 01:05.510
video games ought to be like video games.
01:05.510 --> 01:09.060
Humans ultimately
play games for relaxation.
01:09.060 --> 01:13.610
There was no need for the struggles
and strife of the real world in the picture.
01:13.610 --> 01:17.360
Thus, humanity arrived at a conclusion:
01:17.360 --> 01:22.280
Advanced VRMMO games are not fun.
01:22.280 --> 01:25.830
From then on, game makers
returned to non-aggravating systems,
01:25.830 --> 01:29.620
and VRMMOs steadily lost
the popularity of their golden age.
01:29.620 --> 01:31.620
Hah! Nice try!
01:31.620 --> 01:34.540
And now my gauge is full!
01:39.760 --> 01:41.590
The story that is about to unfold
01:41.590 --> 01:47.930
takes place 10 years after the
release of that problematic game.
01:53.650 --> 01:58.150
"Full Dive: This Ultimate Next-Gen Full
Dive RPG Is Even Shittier than Real Life!"
01:58.530 --> 02:02.610
"VR⨯Reality"
02:02.610 --> 02:03.240
"Faculty Room"
02:03.240 --> 02:06.200
"Faculty Room"
02:03.240 --> 02:06.200
Sorry. I still haven't decided.
02:06.200 --> 02:08.370
You're almost to your last year.
02:08.370 --> 02:12.120
Can you at least decide
between college and working?
02:12.120 --> 02:15.830
I want to have a real conversation
with you about something.
02:15.830 --> 02:17.590
The track meet your freshman year.
02:17.590 --> 02:20.260
No need to bring that up now--
02:20.260 --> 02:24.220
You won't be able to move
forward if you never address it.
02:24.220 --> 02:27.720
Isn't it the reason you can't
decide your post-graduation plans?
02:29.010 --> 02:30.850
It's not a problem, Yuki!
02:30.850 --> 02:34.270
You just need to turn
the pain into strength!
02:34.270 --> 02:37.310
The enthusiasm is suffocating.
02:37.810 --> 02:38.480
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
02:38.480 --> 02:41.280
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
02:38.480 --> 02:41.280
He's parroting the
title of an intro book...
02:41.280 --> 02:42.280
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
02:41.280 --> 02:42.280
How easily influenced can you be?
02:42.280 --> 02:42.690
02:42.690 --> 02:45.320
I know it was hard! I know it must hurt!
02:45.320 --> 02:48.200
If it had been me, I wouldn't
be able to leave the house!
02:48.200 --> 02:50.200
But you're tough!
02:50.200 --> 02:52.500
You've kept coming to school anyway!
02:52.500 --> 02:54.410
He's serious?
02:54.410 --> 02:57.670
It was such a pitiful
and heartbreaking incident.
02:57.670 --> 03:00.210
I've been a teacher for
many years, but that was truly--
03:00.210 --> 03:02.260
Mr. Yasuoka, that's enough--
03:02.260 --> 03:04.800
I want you to accept what happened!
03:04.800 --> 03:06.590
If you can't come to grips with it,
03:06.590 --> 03:08.260
I'll accept it for you!
03:08.260 --> 03:10.010
I have no idea how to fix this,
03:10.010 --> 03:11.220
but I've got you!
03:11.220 --> 03:12.720
Solidly, see?
03:12.720 --> 03:15.440
And so for now, Yuki,
03:15.440 --> 03:18.190
let's turn the strength
into pain and move forward!
03:18.190 --> 03:18.270
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
03:18.190 --> 03:18.270
let's turn the strength
into pain and move forward!
03:18.270 --> 03:21.150
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
03:18.270 --> 03:21.150
Now you're saying it backwards!
03:22.940 --> 03:25.240
Is he some kind of idiot?
03:37.620 --> 03:39.840
Hiro!
03:39.840 --> 03:41.460
Takafumi.
03:41.460 --> 03:43.840
Well, did the meeting help?
03:43.840 --> 03:46.470
It was completely useless.
03:46.470 --> 03:48.640
I'm gonna go home and play a game.
03:48.640 --> 03:54.430
Video games are fine, but shouldn't
you do something physically active?
03:54.430 --> 03:57.230
We could go to the
gym together if you want.
03:57.230 --> 04:00.980
No, thanks. It's not like training
my body matters anymore.
04:00.980 --> 04:02.940
But using video games to run away--
04:02.940 --> 04:06.400
There's a competition
soon, right? Kick butt.
04:06.400 --> 04:09.740
Yeah, it's almost been two years since--
04:09.740 --> 04:12.280
Oh... sorry...
04:12.280 --> 04:13.540
It's fine.
04:13.540 --> 04:15.330
Well, see you tomorrow.
04:19.080 --> 04:23.090
The real world really sucks.
04:23.090 --> 04:26.170
Hey, it's Hiro!
04:26.170 --> 04:28.430
Oh, Tanishiro...
04:28.430 --> 04:30.340
and Mishina.
04:30.340 --> 04:37.140
Man, what a coincidence
running into you like this!
04:37.140 --> 04:39.310
Well, how could I say no?
04:39.310 --> 04:40.480
Thanks, dude.
04:40.480 --> 04:42.810
Whoa! We can always count on Hiro!
04:42.810 --> 04:44.780
I'll pay you back for sure.
04:44.780 --> 04:47.570
One day, definitely,
eventually, most likely.
04:47.570 --> 04:50.950
If there's someone you don't
like at school, say the word.
04:50.950 --> 04:52.620
We'll knock 'em flat for ya.
04:52.620 --> 04:55.740
The only ones I don't like
are in front of me...
04:55.740 --> 04:58.160
Yeah, thanks.
04:58.160 --> 05:00.710
It's been a pleasure--I mean, thanks.
05:00.710 --> 05:02.750
See ya around.
05:04.800 --> 05:07.050
Today sucks.
05:07.380 --> 05:08.170
"Finalizing Quest 22 Available Now!"
05:08.170 --> 05:11.720
"Finalizing Quest 22 Available Now!"
05:08.170 --> 05:11.720
Then again, today...
05:11.720 --> 05:12.260
05:12.260 --> 05:14.600
I pre-ordered FQ.
05:14.600 --> 05:16.560
One moment.
05:16.560 --> 05:24.110
...is the long-awaited release day
for the new Finalizing Quest VRMMO.
05:24.110 --> 05:26.610
That'll be 13,000 yen.
05:29.190 --> 05:31.780
Huh? I'm 1,000 yen short.
05:31.780 --> 05:34.830
I made sure I had plenty of extra money...
05:36.910 --> 05:40.290
Did I accidentally hand
them a 10,000-yen bill?
05:43.210 --> 05:46.750
I seem to be 1,000 yen short...
05:46.750 --> 05:48.550
I... see.
05:48.550 --> 05:50.260
That won't fly, will it?
05:50.260 --> 05:52.130
No, it will not.
05:52.130 --> 05:54.550
I thought not...
05:56.050 --> 06:00.310
That store had the lowest price
I could find on the internet.
06:00.310 --> 06:04.730
It'd be crazy to find
a store selling it cheaper.
06:05.150 --> 06:08.940
"Game Shop Kisaragi"
06:08.940 --> 06:11.650
"Game Shop Kisaragi"
06:08.940 --> 06:11.650
No, there's no way.
06:11.650 --> 06:12.070
"Game Shop Kisaragi"
06:21.710 --> 06:24.630
"Brand New VRMMO in stock!"
06:24.630 --> 06:26.500
For real?
06:26.500 --> 06:29.840
Hey, this is the one from 3 years ago.
06:35.010 --> 06:39.890
Yeah, what did I expect
in a store like this?
06:43.230 --> 06:45.440
Um, excuse me.
06:45.440 --> 06:47.730
I have a question.
06:47.730 --> 06:51.320
Yes, how may I help you?
06:51.320 --> 06:56.530
Um, well, do you have FQ 22
in stock? It released today.
06:56.530 --> 06:59.530
FQ... 22?
06:59.530 --> 07:04.120
Yes. It's the 22nd Finalizing Quest game.
07:11.920 --> 07:13.760
Wh-Why are you suddenly laughing?
07:13.760 --> 07:18.640
The 22nd? How many are they gonna make?
07:18.640 --> 07:20.810
We're only in the 21st century.
07:20.810 --> 07:22.810
I mean, really, 22?
07:22.810 --> 07:25.020
That's more than the
century humanity is in!
07:25.020 --> 07:27.270
Holy crap, change the title already!
07:27.270 --> 07:28.520
Oh...
07:28.520 --> 07:31.530
So then, um, is that FQ in stock?
07:31.530 --> 07:33.150
Yeah, and we're talking about FQ.
07:33.150 --> 07:34.950
You're just buying it out of habit, right?
07:34.950 --> 07:36.660
It's like with manga.
07:36.660 --> 07:38.410
You start buying them
because they're good,
07:38.410 --> 07:40.030
but then it slowly gets worse and worse.
07:40.030 --> 07:43.370
But by that point you've already
bought 20, so it feels weird to just stop.
07:43.370 --> 07:45.410
So you figure you might
as well buy the next one.
07:45.410 --> 07:47.250
I mean, what the hell, man?
07:47.250 --> 07:49.170
I-I see your point.
07:49.170 --> 07:51.880
Compared to the first FQ
I played back in elementary school,
07:51.880 --> 07:54.210
my enjoyment is gradually lessening
with each entry in the series,
07:54.210 --> 07:56.510
and I don't expect anything to top that--
07:56.510 --> 07:58.300
Hey! Hold on, hold on.
07:58.300 --> 08:00.890
You're the store clerk.
Why are you saying this to me?
08:00.890 --> 08:02.010
Because it's true.
08:02.010 --> 08:03.140
Just answer the question.
08:03.140 --> 08:05.600
Do you have FQ in stock or not?
08:05.600 --> 08:07.600
Who really cares about that?
08:07.600 --> 08:09.350
Hey, I care!
08:09.350 --> 08:11.060
If you don't have it, I'm leaving.
08:11.060 --> 08:12.610
Hold on there.
08:21.660 --> 08:22.620
I have the game for you.
08:22.620 --> 08:24.700
Huh? You do?
08:24.700 --> 08:25.750
You bet I do.
08:25.750 --> 08:26.580
How much?
08:26.580 --> 08:27.460
Ten thousand yen.
08:27.460 --> 08:28.830
Ten thousand yen exactly?
08:28.830 --> 08:29.750
Yup.
08:29.750 --> 08:30.580
Whaddaya say?
08:30.580 --> 08:33.420
F-For 10,000 yen? I'll take it!
08:33.420 --> 08:34.880
Money please.
08:36.380 --> 08:37.800
One moment.
08:37.800 --> 08:40.300
It should be over here...
08:40.300 --> 08:41.390
Here it is.
08:41.390 --> 08:42.760
Then here's the money.
08:42.760 --> 08:44.810
Thank you for your purchase.
08:44.810 --> 08:46.560
Finally.
08:46.560 --> 08:49.350
Wait! This isn't FQ!
08:54.480 --> 08:56.610
Hey! Give me my money back!
08:56.610 --> 09:00.110
Play that game. It's way better than FQ.
09:00.110 --> 09:04.580
It's a full-dive RPG that
pursues the ultimate in realism.
09:04.580 --> 09:05.740
I don't want to!
09:05.740 --> 09:08.500
Just give me my money back!
I want my money!
09:08.500 --> 09:12.710
Listen up. This game is
09:12.710 --> 09:16.130
a super hard-core
full-dive RPG for adults.
09:16.130 --> 09:19.130
What? F-For adults?
09:19.130 --> 09:20.510
Look down here.
09:20.510 --> 09:22.180
A double Z rating?!
09:22.180 --> 09:23.850
There's a rating above Z?
09:23.850 --> 09:26.140
I'm 17.
09:26.140 --> 09:32.310
This rating just means recommended for
20 plus. It's not an absolute restriction.
09:32.310 --> 09:34.440
B-But I think I'll stick with FQ--
09:34.440 --> 09:36.980
Is it fun to play such an innocent game?
09:36.980 --> 09:38.990
This is a more stimulating experience.
09:38.990 --> 09:42.530
Why not do it?
09:42.530 --> 09:44.830
Huh? H-Hey, w-wait...
09:44.830 --> 09:47.830
I'm Reona Kisaragi. Call me Reona.
09:47.830 --> 09:48.830
What's your name?
09:48.830 --> 09:50.750
H-Hiroshi... Yuki.
09:50.750 --> 09:54.790
Hiro, I log in to this game frequently.
09:54.790 --> 09:56.880
I'll teach you what you need to know.
09:56.880 --> 09:59.550
Attentively and patiently.
10:05.930 --> 10:09.560
I suddenly got a hot girl's number.
10:09.560 --> 10:11.230
What the hell am I doing?
10:11.230 --> 10:13.980
I let her honeypot me
into buying this game.
10:15.440 --> 10:16.770
Huh?
10:16.770 --> 10:19.190
This game is ten years old?!
10:21.030 --> 10:23.110
I cannot come to the phone right now.
10:23.110 --> 10:25.530
Leave a message after the beep.
10:25.530 --> 10:27.160
Screw thi--
10:29.200 --> 10:32.790
This cost 10,000 yen...
10:32.790 --> 10:34.500
I'm home...
10:36.000 --> 10:37.790
What a day...
10:41.550 --> 10:44.050
K-Kaede!
10:44.050 --> 10:47.760
S-Sorry! I didn't mean to!
It was an accident!
10:47.760 --> 10:51.060
Close the door already, you pervert!
10:52.180 --> 10:54.350
Today sucks.
11:00.280 --> 11:06.030
The VR NX console is compatible
with nearly every VR game.
11:06.030 --> 11:08.740
A 10-year-old game is no problem.
11:08.740 --> 11:10.240
The real problem is...
11:10.240 --> 11:12.500
If it's lame, I'm returning it!
11:12.500 --> 11:14.870
No matter what she tries to pull!
11:24.470 --> 11:30.720
Hero! You must defeat the Demon Lord
and save the world of Auberdine!
11:30.720 --> 11:34.770
She said this was a
super hard-core full-dive RPG,
11:34.770 --> 11:37.690
but it seems surprisingly standard.
11:37.690 --> 11:42.190
First, leave the city
and head for Flora Castle.
11:52.660 --> 11:54.500
Wow.
11:55.500 --> 12:00.540
So it uses a virtual projection
based on a scan of the player's body.
12:02.630 --> 12:07.220
Wow, the wind!
12:07.220 --> 12:08.680
And all of this!
12:08.680 --> 12:09.510
Good morning.
12:09.510 --> 12:11.680
Great weather, isn't it?
12:11.680 --> 12:15.770
The intro of a game is always so exciting!
12:17.480 --> 12:20.440
Even the feel of the
handle is crazy realistic.
12:20.440 --> 12:23.610
This is pretty incredible!
12:23.610 --> 12:26.900
Hiro, are you home?
12:26.900 --> 12:29.870
So the character name
is just my username, then.
12:29.870 --> 12:32.280
Y-Yes. Be right--
12:32.280 --> 12:34.910
Ow!
12:34.910 --> 12:36.370
Wait, that hurt?
12:36.370 --> 12:38.250
The game even reproduces pain?!
12:38.250 --> 12:42.210
Not that pain is
something I want in a game...
12:42.210 --> 12:44.460
Hiro?
12:44.460 --> 12:45.800
Ow!
12:45.800 --> 12:47.340
S-Sorry, Hiro!
12:47.340 --> 12:50.640
Are you hurt?
12:50.640 --> 12:53.430
I-I'm fine.
12:53.430 --> 12:58.600
Sorry. It was just taking so long.
12:58.600 --> 13:01.480
The quality of the skin,
and the personality...
13:01.480 --> 13:05.440
For such an old game,
the graphics are incredible.
13:05.440 --> 13:07.490
I-Is something wrong?
13:07.490 --> 13:10.360
No matter where I look,
there's no NPC label.
13:10.360 --> 13:13.200
I guess those video game
elements are cut out.
13:13.200 --> 13:16.040
Y-You're going to make me blush.
13:16.040 --> 13:18.210
It really is just like reality.
13:18.210 --> 13:21.830
It's so realistic you
could forget it's a game...
13:23.750 --> 13:24.340
"Save your adventure and quit the game?"
13:24.340 --> 13:26.630
"Save your adventure and quit the game?"
13:24.340 --> 13:26.630
Thank goodness. It's definitely a game.
13:26.630 --> 13:27.130
13:27.130 --> 13:29.420
I wasn't transported to another world.
13:29.420 --> 13:30.970
Hiro, are you okay?
13:30.970 --> 13:32.970
Did you hit your head too hard?
13:32.970 --> 13:35.010
Um, you're...
13:35.010 --> 13:38.850
Huh? It's me, Alicia. We've
been friends since childhood.
13:38.850 --> 13:41.850
A childhood friend.
So that's the backstory.
13:41.850 --> 13:46.900
You promised you'd help me with
the apple harvest today. Remember?
13:46.900 --> 13:49.740
Oh, right. Of course.
13:49.740 --> 13:51.610
What's taking so long, Hiro?
13:51.610 --> 13:53.660
The apples will get over-ripe.
13:53.660 --> 13:57.160
Oh, looks like we have a
"nice young man" character.
13:57.160 --> 14:01.160
Sorry, Brother. I accidentally
made Hiro hit his head.
14:01.160 --> 14:03.170
His head? That could be bad.
14:03.170 --> 14:05.920
Let your best bud, Martin, handle this.
14:05.920 --> 14:07.300
Here.
14:09.720 --> 14:11.300
It smells like an apple!
14:11.300 --> 14:13.090
It really is realistic.
14:13.090 --> 14:14.140
Why an apple?
14:14.140 --> 14:16.390
It keeps the doctor away.
14:16.390 --> 14:18.720
That's for colds, not injuries.
14:18.720 --> 14:22.350
How do you like the quality
this year? Delicious, right?
14:22.350 --> 14:23.600
It is delicious.
14:23.600 --> 14:27.610
Wait--there's taste, too?!
14:27.610 --> 14:31.240
You must be hungry not to cut it first.
14:33.280 --> 14:34.160
There.
14:34.160 --> 14:36.530
It's seriously no
different from real life.
14:36.530 --> 14:39.160
This game might have
been a really good find!
14:39.160 --> 14:42.410
Oh, right. The first screen
told me what to do.
14:42.410 --> 14:46.670
First, leave the city
and head for Flora Castle.
14:46.670 --> 14:50.460
Hey, how do I get to Flora Castle?
14:57.010 --> 15:01.680
A-Are you crazy? Some things
aren't okay to joke about!
15:01.680 --> 15:04.310
Hiro, that's not funny!
15:04.310 --> 15:06.230
It wasn't a joke...
15:06.230 --> 15:08.570
I just want to go outside the city.
15:08.570 --> 15:10.650
You idiot!
15:10.650 --> 15:15.160
Watch what you say!
What if the City Guard hears you?
15:15.160 --> 15:17.990
The City Guard? Why would that matter?
15:17.990 --> 15:20.240
Hiro, stop playing around.
15:20.240 --> 15:22.500
We need to go to our family's farm.
15:22.500 --> 15:27.080
Huh? The mood's gotten all weird.
15:27.080 --> 15:32.920
Sorry, but could I pick the apples later?
I'd like to go outside the city first.
15:34.340 --> 15:35.800
Something's wrong.
15:35.800 --> 15:37.180
He's not right in the head.
15:37.180 --> 15:41.140
But it's totally normal
to leave the city in an RPG!
15:41.140 --> 15:46.060
Look, I'm going.
I'll help with the apples later.
15:46.060 --> 15:48.940
I can't wait to see
what adventure is waiti--
15:48.940 --> 15:51.480
Hiro!
15:53.240 --> 15:56.610
Why would you suddenly tackle me?
Aren't you supposed to be my best friend?
15:56.610 --> 15:58.280
This really hurts!
15:58.280 --> 16:02.660
It's because we're best friends!
How could I let you commit ex-urbance?
16:02.660 --> 16:04.580
E-Ex-urbance?
16:04.580 --> 16:08.500
Hey, do you have amnesia or something?
16:08.500 --> 16:10.920
No, of course not.
16:10.920 --> 16:12.300
I think.
16:12.300 --> 16:14.300
Listen up and listen good!
16:14.300 --> 16:19.890
The town of Ted is surrounded by
a giant moat to protect the citizenry.
16:19.890 --> 16:23.520
All residents are prohibited
from leaving the city!
16:23.520 --> 16:27.600
Except for special envoys, no one is
allowed to enter from outside, either!
16:27.600 --> 16:32.150
The town is sequestered from
contact with the outside world!
16:32.150 --> 16:34.070
Oh, isn't that overkill?
16:34.070 --> 16:38.160
Are goblins gonna attack
in a super huge group?
16:38.160 --> 16:39.320
Is that it?
16:39.320 --> 16:42.990
Well, this is the first town.
Guess you have to start somewhere.
16:42.990 --> 16:44.950
I'll just go defeat them real quick.
16:44.950 --> 16:46.960
Alicia, I think...
16:46.960 --> 16:48.920
Yeah, it might be too late...
16:48.920 --> 16:50.750
I can hear you!
16:50.750 --> 16:55.130
I'm going to have to
open your eyes for you!
16:58.220 --> 17:00.550
Oh, I see. It's an event.
17:00.550 --> 17:05.220
If you beat Martin handily, you get to
make a big deal of it and leave the city.
17:05.220 --> 17:11.020
It takes the place of a tutorial.
17:11.020 --> 17:13.020
In that case--
17:24.200 --> 17:27.250
I-I'm bleeding! My nose is bleeding!
17:27.250 --> 17:29.540
Do you get it now?
17:29.540 --> 17:32.670
That hurt! You damned idiot!
Some best friend!
17:32.670 --> 17:35.130
Screw you! I don't even know you!
17:35.130 --> 17:39.420
What? You've even forgotten
about the promise we made that day?
17:39.420 --> 17:42.760
Under the Kenura tree?
17:42.760 --> 17:47.720
Who gives a shit about
some weird-named tree?!
17:47.720 --> 17:50.940
Hiro!
17:50.940 --> 17:53.730
That really hurts!
17:55.110 --> 17:57.070
Martin, violence is wrong!
17:57.070 --> 18:01.660
It's a little late for that shit!
I've already been beaten up!
18:02.660 --> 18:06.580
I mean, look at you. How could you
hold your own against a goblin?
18:06.580 --> 18:11.830
Dammit! I'm sick of all this shit!
18:11.830 --> 18:14.580
In the real world, it's just
one shitty thing after another,
18:14.580 --> 18:17.500
and now I have to get beat up in a game?!
18:17.500 --> 18:21.050
Dammit! Dammit!
18:21.050 --> 18:22.470
Screw you!
18:22.470 --> 18:25.300
You're a damned NPC!
18:28.270 --> 18:31.520
I got you! Not so tough now!
18:35.360 --> 18:38.650
M-Martin?
18:38.650 --> 18:41.110
A-Are you okay?
18:49.750 --> 18:52.000
Brother!
18:52.000 --> 18:53.420
Brother!
18:53.420 --> 18:55.250
H-He's dead!
18:55.250 --> 18:58.210
What? But... That can't... What?
18:58.210 --> 19:01.130
No! He's dead!
19:01.130 --> 19:04.590
S-Stay calm! D-Do we
have any healing herbs?
19:04.590 --> 19:06.850
I just said he's dead!
19:06.850 --> 19:09.180
What good will an herb do?!
19:09.180 --> 19:11.310
I-I guess none.
19:11.310 --> 19:15.270
Tell me, Hiro. What are you
gonna do about this? Tell me!
19:15.270 --> 19:18.860
I-I didn't mean to! It was an accident!
19:18.860 --> 19:21.400
But my brother is dead, for dead certain.
19:21.400 --> 19:24.150
He's dead with a knife stuck in him!
19:24.150 --> 19:25.070
S-Sorr--
19:25.070 --> 19:28.950
Hiro. Tell me, what the
hell are you gonna do?
19:28.950 --> 19:32.120
Hiro, Hiro, Hiro, Hiro!
19:32.120 --> 19:36.290
I'm sorry!
19:44.220 --> 19:46.010
Hiro, you bastard!
19:46.010 --> 19:47.840
Don't you dare run away!
19:47.840 --> 19:49.260
Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
19:49.260 --> 19:53.810
What the hell?
What the hell is happening?!
19:53.810 --> 19:57.730
Hiro!
20:05.530 --> 20:08.240
What the hell is happening?
20:08.240 --> 20:11.200
Hiro!
20:16.330 --> 20:19.380
S-Somehow I got away.
20:19.380 --> 20:22.090
But I k-killed someone.
20:22.090 --> 20:26.300
Wh-What am I gonna do?
20:26.300 --> 20:27.840
Wait. Hold up.
20:27.840 --> 20:29.720
This is a game, right?
20:29.720 --> 20:30.930
It's fine.
20:30.930 --> 20:33.680
All I have to do is start over
and select "New Game"--
20:33.680 --> 20:35.100
Hiro.
20:35.100 --> 20:37.100
I'm sorry!
20:37.100 --> 20:38.600
Wait, Reona?
20:38.600 --> 20:43.110
Sorry I didn't pick up the phone.
I was taking a bath.
20:43.110 --> 20:44.780
A-A bath?
20:47.280 --> 20:49.610
Now's not the time.
20:49.610 --> 20:50.780
What's wrong?
20:50.780 --> 20:53.580
Reona, your...
20:53.580 --> 20:54.750
Oh, my avatar?
20:54.750 --> 20:59.250
It's a special store perk.
Only shop employees get it.
20:59.250 --> 21:02.170
Aren't perks normally for customers?
21:02.170 --> 21:03.960
And why are you dressed like that?
21:03.960 --> 21:10.550
I'm a fairy! Monsters and NPCs can't
see me. And they can't hear me, either.
21:10.550 --> 21:12.760
Basically, I'm support.
21:12.760 --> 21:15.270
I said I'd teach you
attentively and patiently.
21:15.270 --> 21:17.180
Oh, I see.
21:17.180 --> 21:19.520
Did you finish picking apples?
21:19.520 --> 21:22.940
Are you on a walk through the city
with your cute childhood friend?
21:22.940 --> 21:28.400
Um, well, no... I think I messed up
the first quest branch...
21:28.400 --> 21:33.450
Oh? Don't tell me you did something
pervy to your childhood friend.
21:33.450 --> 21:35.450
Um, well, you see...
21:35.450 --> 21:37.790
Wait, I'll figure it out.
21:37.790 --> 21:40.460
Oh, I didn't notice I was wearing this.
21:40.460 --> 21:44.800
You noticed how the ultra realism
excludes status screens and such?
21:44.800 --> 21:49.470
Well, the way to see game
progress is with the title system!
21:49.470 --> 21:51.180
Title system?
21:51.180 --> 21:56.470
On this necklace you're given a title
that is appropriate to your game state.
21:56.470 --> 21:59.430
So right now you're...
22:00.940 --> 22:05.400
T-Title: "Best Friend Killer"!
22:05.400 --> 22:06.820
What?
22:06.820 --> 22:10.320
"Best Friend Killer"
22:10.950 --> 22:14.620
It's game over right off the bat!
23:46.120 --> 23:49.090
Episode 2: Living in a Dead Game.
