--It's a full-dive RPG that
pursues the ultimate in realism.
00:14.250 --> 00:15.510
--If it's lame, I'm returning it!
--It's a full-dive RPG that

00:15.510 --> 00:16.300
--If it's lame, I'm returning it!
00:16.300 --> 00:18.010
No! He's dead!
00:18.010 --> 00:19.260
Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
00:19.260 --> 00:20.090
What the hell?
00:20.090 --> 00:21.890
"Best Friend Killer"!
00:21.890 --> 00:22.050
It's game over right off the bat!
00:22.050 --> 00:23.600
"Best Friend Killer"
"Amicide"
00:22.050 --> 00:23.600
It's game over right off the bat!
00:23.600 --> 00:24.260
It's game over right off the bat!
00:24.260 --> 00:25.680
What?
01:58.030 --> 02:01.150
"Living in a Dead Game"
02:01.360 --> 02:03.320
Best Friend Killer?
02:03.320 --> 02:05.780
And what do you mean, "game over"?
02:05.780 --> 02:08.540
To kill your best friend
right off the bat...
02:08.540 --> 02:10.910
you're one messed up
high schooler, huh?
02:10.910 --> 02:12.160
You've got it all wrong!
02:12.160 --> 02:14.670
It was, um, uh...
02:14.670 --> 02:15.670
...an accident!
02:15.670 --> 02:17.840
That's what most murderers say.
02:17.840 --> 02:19.000
It was!
02:19.000 --> 02:22.380
I just gave a little push and
suddenly it was like, splooch!
02:22.380 --> 02:23.510
So it was...
02:23.510 --> 02:24.720
...intentional.
02:24.720 --> 02:25.930
Absolutely not!
02:25.930 --> 02:27.760
Look, just tell me how to reset the game!
02:27.760 --> 02:29.220
You can't, dude.
02:29.220 --> 02:32.100
There are no do-overs in this game.
02:32.100 --> 02:35.230
Real life doesn't have a
"New Game" option, right?
02:35.230 --> 02:38.320
That's part of what
it means to pursue realism.
02:38.320 --> 02:40.440
What's with the smug look?
02:40.440 --> 02:43.030
Also, Kiwame Quest uses autosave.
02:43.030 --> 02:44.070
Even if you quit right away,
02:44.070 --> 02:47.030
you'd continue from
after killing your best friend.
02:47.030 --> 02:52.120
So then I'm forever stuck with
the title "Best Friend Killer"?
02:52.120 --> 02:54.960
And you can't just buy
another copy of the game.
02:54.960 --> 02:57.380
Your play history is
retained on your hardware.
02:57.380 --> 03:01.170
To start over you'd have
to purchase a new console.
03:01.170 --> 03:06.220
The VR NX costs 90,000 yen.
At that price, I...
03:06.220 --> 03:09.010
FYI, I do sell those.
03:09.010 --> 03:10.760
Just 120,000 yen.
03:10.760 --> 03:11.930
That's crazy high!
03:11.930 --> 03:15.060
Enough already! I'm returning this!
Give me my money back!
03:15.060 --> 03:16.060
That's not happening.
03:16.060 --> 03:17.440
Wh-Why?
03:17.440 --> 03:17.900
We have a strict policy:
03:17.900 --> 03:19.110

03:24.400 --> 03:26.740
I'll report you to a consumer agency!
03:26.740 --> 03:30.030
I have no desire to cast a
shadow over your bright future
03:30.030 --> 03:31.370
with a nasty legal battle.
03:31.370 --> 03:33.290
Let's think more constructively.
03:33.290 --> 03:34.830
Constructively?
03:34.830 --> 03:36.870
You said it's already
game over, didn't you?
03:36.870 --> 03:43.300
Kiwame Quest, KQ for short, is a full-dive
RPG sold ten years ago only in Japan.
03:43.300 --> 03:45.630
The company already shut down services.
03:45.630 --> 03:50.140
The player base shrank and shrank,
and it's essentially a dead game.
03:50.140 --> 03:54.350
Even so, an extremely small
number of players still remain.
03:54.350 --> 03:57.190
There are people still playing this game?
03:57.190 --> 03:59.270
It's a big country!
03:59.270 --> 04:03.190
And one of those rare players is Ginji.
04:03.190 --> 04:04.780
Ginji...
04:04.780 --> 04:07.240
Sounds like my money's getting stolen...
04:07.240 --> 04:11.620
Ginji supposedly also killed his best
friend at the start ten years ago.
04:11.620 --> 04:13.700
So let's try asking him.
04:13.700 --> 04:15.660
O-Okay.
04:15.660 --> 04:19.370
Oh, but first, check your right pocket.
04:21.290 --> 04:23.800
That's your starting money. Thirty gald.
04:23.800 --> 04:25.460
Let's buy some cheap clothes with it.
04:25.460 --> 04:26.720
Clothes?
04:26.720 --> 04:30.260
I imagine the next stage
of your situation is...
04:30.260 --> 04:32.430
Did you hear about Martin?
04:32.430 --> 04:34.310
Yeah, I heard he was killed.
04:34.310 --> 04:36.850
What?! Who would kill
such a nice young man?
04:36.850 --> 04:40.310
Well... apparently it
was his best friend, Hiro.
04:40.310 --> 04:43.650
The City Guard is looking for him.
04:44.860 --> 04:47.320
There are already wanted posters?
04:47.320 --> 04:51.370
Yup. You're a full-on fugitive.
Get plastic surgery if possible.
04:51.370 --> 04:53.450
Real-life plastic surgery for my avatar?!
04:53.450 --> 04:56.910
Anyway, the clothing store isn't far,
but keep your head down.
04:56.910 --> 05:00.370
Walk like someone ostracized from society.
05:01.750 --> 05:04.800
I don't want to play this game anymore...
05:06.800 --> 05:09.590
This is it, Hiro.
05:09.590 --> 05:12.800
Is it really safe for me to enter a store?
05:12.800 --> 05:16.100
Whether in real life or virtual reality,
stores are all about the customer.
05:16.100 --> 05:19.730
No matter how suspicious you seem,
they won't just immediately report you.
05:19.730 --> 05:21.600
Is that true?
05:21.600 --> 05:24.940
Yes. I should know. I'm a merchant myself!
05:24.940 --> 05:27.400
You're not particularly trustworthy...
05:29.070 --> 05:30.900
Welcome.
05:32.280 --> 05:34.320
Hiro, get this one.
05:35.370 --> 05:38.290
Fifteen gald.
05:38.290 --> 05:40.870
I-I'll take this.
05:40.870 --> 05:42.330
Sure.
05:43.420 --> 05:47.460
Sir, you're the talk
of the town right now.
05:47.460 --> 05:49.880
H-Hey! You said it'd be safe!
05:51.970 --> 05:57.180
Now, now. I'm a businessman.
I'm not reporting my customers.
05:57.180 --> 05:59.140
Th-Then...
06:00.390 --> 06:03.100
Twenty-five gald.
06:03.100 --> 06:07.770
He took thorough stock of the situation.
That's KQ's NPCs for you.
06:07.770 --> 06:09.150
Realistic, right?
06:09.150 --> 06:11.780
I'd call it unpleasant, not realistic!
06:11.780 --> 06:14.070
So I'm also stuck with high prices?
06:14.070 --> 06:17.950
It's yet another reason
we should talk to Ginji.
06:17.950 --> 06:21.620
So, where do we find this Ginji?
06:21.620 --> 06:23.670
Supposedly he's always at the casino.
06:23.670 --> 06:25.000
Been that way for ten years.
06:25.000 --> 06:28.210
Ten years?! Does he have
a gambling addiction?
06:28.210 --> 06:30.880
Dunno. He's probably just garbage.
06:30.880 --> 06:33.550
That's harsh!
06:36.720 --> 06:39.390
This city's pretty big, huh.
06:39.390 --> 06:43.230
Yes. Though it's inland on
the continent of Alfrey,
06:43.230 --> 06:47.150
trade with other towns
or castles is prohibited.
06:47.150 --> 06:49.570
It's a massive, self-sufficient city
that's practically closed off.
06:49.570 --> 06:52.740
The city of Ted, AKA the Closed City.
06:52.740 --> 06:54.110
The Closed City?
06:54.110 --> 06:59.240
FYI, leaving without permission is
punished severely as "exurbance."
06:59.240 --> 07:03.080
No one had a better name for the crime?
07:03.080 --> 07:07.330
Anyway, getting out of the city
is the first step to clearing KQ.
07:07.330 --> 07:10.210
Let's ask Ginji about that, too.
07:14.470 --> 07:17.720
We should be in the clear now.
The casino is close.
07:17.720 --> 07:19.300
Ah, what a relief--
07:19.300 --> 07:22.180
Hiro!
07:31.860 --> 07:34.070
Alicia?!
07:36.280 --> 07:38.200
I found you.
07:38.200 --> 07:40.330
I've looked everywhere.
07:40.330 --> 07:43.620
How? I was even wearing a hood!
07:43.620 --> 07:46.250
I recognized you instantly!
07:46.250 --> 07:50.630
I've known you since childhood after all.
07:53.010 --> 07:55.590
What a terrifying childhood friend!
07:55.590 --> 07:58.970
That's the ultra-fast
general-purpose AI R-Evo for you!
07:58.970 --> 08:01.720
The NPC's have personality,
freedom, and insight--
08:01.720 --> 08:03.930
Be impressed later!
08:03.930 --> 08:07.140
Oh, what's wrong, Hiro?
08:07.140 --> 08:09.900
Why are you talking to yourself?
08:09.900 --> 08:14.650
Oh, right. NPCs can't
perceive Reona's fairy form.
08:14.650 --> 08:17.950
A-Alicia! Hear me out!
It was an accident and...
08:17.950 --> 08:20.660
Yes, I know.
08:20.660 --> 08:23.830
I went a little crazy there, didn't I?
08:23.830 --> 08:25.910
So much screaming and shouting...
08:25.910 --> 08:29.040
Oh, but I've calmed down a little now.
08:29.040 --> 08:31.080
Alicia.
08:31.080 --> 08:33.710
I loved you, Hiro.
08:33.710 --> 08:36.590
No, I still love you a ton!
08:36.590 --> 08:37.840
And so I'll...
08:37.840 --> 08:40.390
Th-Thank goodness. Everything's...
08:40.390 --> 08:41.930
...give you sweet release!
08:41.930 --> 08:44.100
...not okay at all!
08:44.100 --> 08:47.270
Don't worry. I'll follow soon after.
08:47.270 --> 08:49.730
The three of us will be friends again
08:49.730 --> 08:51.020
in the afterlife!
08:51.020 --> 08:53.150
Oh, no! She's totally lost it!
08:53.150 --> 08:54.980
Come on, Hiro...
08:54.980 --> 08:57.150
Th-That's...
08:57.150 --> 08:59.320
the knife from...
08:59.320 --> 09:02.120
Yes, I'm Hell's Fruit Slicer--
09:02.120 --> 09:05.790
The Fruit Knife Wielder From Hell:
09:05.790 --> 09:08.080
Alicia Von Rotarzen!
09:08.080 --> 09:11.210
What kind of title is that? No thank you!
09:11.210 --> 09:13.540
I'll chop you up into little bits!
09:13.540 --> 09:16.510
Like I'm making apple juice!
09:19.550 --> 09:23.970
Be careful! The childhood
friend's speed is set oddly high.
09:23.970 --> 09:26.850
Lots of players have her join their party.
09:26.850 --> 09:28.850
She was supposed to join my party?!
09:28.850 --> 09:32.350
It's an open-ended story system,
so it's your choice who joins you.
09:32.350 --> 09:35.610
Though the best friend and
the childhood friend are standard.
09:35.610 --> 09:39.030
Except I killed one and
the other's about to kill me!
09:39.030 --> 09:42.110
Hiro, what's all the muttering about?
09:42.110 --> 09:47.080
Oh, of course. You're saying
prayers of repentance!
09:47.080 --> 09:49.540
Hiro!
09:52.290 --> 09:53.790
Hiro! Run! Run! Run!
09:53.790 --> 09:55.130
Don't stop or you're a pincushion!
09:55.130 --> 09:56.670
Please, no!
09:56.670 --> 09:59.130
--Hiro! Get back here!
09:59.130 --> 10:00.340
--T-T-Take a right here!
--Hiro! Get back here!
10:00.340 --> 10:01.090
Okay!
10:01.090 --> 10:01.930
Now a left!
10:01.930 --> 10:02.800
Okay!
10:02.800 --> 10:03.300
--Right!
10:03.300 --> 10:03.840
--Don't run away!
--Okay!
--Right!
10:03.840 --> 10:04.340
--Don't run away!
--Okay!
--Left!
10:04.340 --> 10:04.680
--Don't run away!
--Okay!
--Left!
10:04.680 --> 10:05.140
--Okay!
--Right!
10:05.140 --> 10:05.550
--Okay!
--Right!
10:05.550 --> 10:05.930
--Okay!
--Left!
10:05.930 --> 10:06.350
--Okay!
--Left!
10:06.350 --> 10:06.720
--Okay!
--Right!
10:06.720 --> 10:07.260
--Okay!
--Right!
10:07.260 --> 10:07.760
--Okay!
--Left!
10:07.760 --> 10:08.600
--Okay!
--Left!
10:08.600 --> 10:09.560
--Okay!
10:17.820 --> 10:20.400
Hiro, you're a really fast runner.
10:20.400 --> 10:24.530
The real question is why
I'm so tired in a video game.
10:24.530 --> 10:29.950
KQ doesn't stop at the five senses.
It reproduces fatigue, too!
10:29.950 --> 10:32.460
I could do without that feature.
10:32.460 --> 10:35.040
Did I level up?
10:35.040 --> 10:39.550
What? "Running Best Friend Killer:
Fleet-footed Amicide"?
10:39.550 --> 10:42.720
You did it! You got a new title!
10:42.720 --> 10:45.930
Does this raise my speed or something?
10:45.930 --> 10:48.680
Nope. They're just something you collect!
10:48.680 --> 10:52.520
Let's keep this up and get lots of titles!
10:52.520 --> 10:55.980
Sorry. I think I need
to log out for today.
10:55.980 --> 10:58.150
Really? Now of all times?
10:58.150 --> 11:00.320
I have school tomorrow!
11:00.320 --> 11:04.820
Who cares about school?
Just enjoy the present.
11:04.820 --> 11:07.410
What kind of adult says that?!
11:07.410 --> 11:09.450
The life of a shut-in is a valid choice.
11:09.450 --> 11:12.580
Even so, I'd like to stop for now!
11:12.580 --> 11:15.000
Okay, fine.
11:15.000 --> 11:17.210
Go ahead and save in case.
11:20.210 --> 11:23.010
Huh? The save screen won't pop up...
11:23.010 --> 11:26.970
KQ doesn't let you log out during combat.
11:26.970 --> 11:28.220
So then...
11:28.220 --> 11:31.350
You're not out of combat yet!
11:35.480 --> 11:38.770
There you are!
11:43.860 --> 11:46.660
Ow!
11:46.660 --> 11:51.160
Stay calm! Pain is set to
be lower than in real life.
11:51.160 --> 11:53.750
It doesn't feel like that to me!
11:53.750 --> 11:55.410
Even if you got a limb torn off,
11:55.410 --> 11:59.630
it shouldn't hurt any more than full-body
bruises from falling down the stairs.
11:59.630 --> 12:00.590
No need to worry!
12:00.590 --> 12:03.130
That's not reassuring!
12:03.130 --> 12:09.180
What the hell is with all this mumbling?
12:09.180 --> 12:11.720
I-It's all over!
12:13.680 --> 12:16.520
My eye!
12:16.520 --> 12:18.480
Take this! And this!
12:18.480 --> 12:20.560
--What's happening?
--And one of these!
12:20.560 --> 12:22.190
Reona.
12:22.190 --> 12:23.070
Dammit!
12:23.070 --> 12:25.110
Hiro, hurry! Run!
12:25.110 --> 12:27.780
R-Right!
12:27.780 --> 12:29.410
Dammit!
12:29.410 --> 12:30.740
Hiro!
12:30.740 --> 12:34.830
No matter where you run,
I swear I'll find you and kill you!
12:34.830 --> 12:36.620
Your fate is to be chopped up
12:36.620 --> 12:42.960
by Hell's Fruit Slicer: Alicia,
the Fruit Knife Wielder From Hell!
12:42.960 --> 12:47.880
What the hell is wrong with this game?
12:57.890 --> 13:03.020
How long has it been
since I ran all-out like that?
13:06.530 --> 13:07.990
"Reona"
13:13.200 --> 13:14.790
Reona?
13:14.790 --> 13:17.040
Let's play KQ again today!
13:17.040 --> 13:18.500
When does school end?
13:18.500 --> 13:20.830
I'll log in, so make sure to join me!
13:20.830 --> 13:23.590
Even if it kills you!
13:23.590 --> 13:26.170
Is this a threat?
13:28.720 --> 13:31.470
So did you get your new game?
13:31.470 --> 13:35.430
Actually, I was tricked into
getting this weird full-dive RPG.
13:35.430 --> 13:37.180
Wait, what?
13:37.180 --> 13:40.310
It's crazy realistic. You even feel pain.
13:40.310 --> 13:42.400
It's a game, but it hurts like crazy.
13:42.400 --> 13:44.190
So it's a shitty game?
13:44.190 --> 13:45.900
You got that right.
13:48.860 --> 13:50.990
I'm sorry about yesterday.
13:50.990 --> 13:53.120
Video games are your hobby,
13:53.120 --> 13:55.240
and I didn't have any business
saying anything about it.
13:55.240 --> 13:57.240
It's okay. I'm not mad or anything.
13:57.240 --> 13:59.040
Good.
13:59.040 --> 14:03.750
Though I do think it's
out of fashion and juvenile.
14:03.750 --> 14:08.760
But for real, Hiro. You really need
to set them straight once and for all.
14:08.760 --> 14:10.470
Look. Doesn't this rule?
14:10.470 --> 14:12.260
Ooh, sweet! Let's buy it.
14:12.260 --> 14:14.890
We have our awesome friend, after all.
14:14.890 --> 14:16.760
You got that right!
14:18.520 --> 14:21.020
Th-They're not really a big--
14:21.020 --> 14:26.480
If you only ever play games,
you won't be treated with respect.
14:26.480 --> 14:29.400
That may be true...
14:32.820 --> 14:35.660
Out of fashion and juvenile...
14:35.660 --> 14:38.830
And never treated with respect, huh?
14:48.130 --> 14:50.550
Kaede...
14:50.550 --> 14:51.920
I knew it.
14:51.920 --> 14:53.050
Playing games again?
14:53.050 --> 14:54.800
Oh, no. I'm--
14:54.800 --> 14:57.140
It's loud and annoying. For real.
14:57.140 --> 14:57.970
Huh?
14:57.970 --> 15:01.020
You were shouting and
screaming last night, too.
15:01.020 --> 15:06.100
Sorry. But it's okay. I was just
playing a game. No need to worry.
15:06.100 --> 15:09.070
Who would worry about you?
15:09.070 --> 15:11.570
I wish you'd get rid of that crap.
15:11.570 --> 15:14.990
I-It's not some big problem
for me to have a hobby.
15:14.990 --> 15:15.780
If you're gonna have one, why not
take up running like you used to?
15:15.780 --> 15:18.330
"National Track"
15:15.780 --> 15:18.330
If you're gonna have one, why not
take up running like you used to?
15:18.330 --> 15:20.450
"National Track"
15:18.330 --> 15:20.450
Why would I go back
to that after all this time?
15:20.450 --> 15:21.200
Why would I go back
to that after all this time?
15:21.200 --> 15:24.540
Whatever. I don't care.
Just stop playing games late at night.
15:24.540 --> 15:27.540
Or cover your eyes, nose, and mouth first!
15:27.540 --> 15:29.710
That'd kill me!
15:32.970 --> 15:36.510
What is everyone's problem?
15:36.510 --> 15:38.760
I'll log in, so make sure to join me!
15:38.760 --> 15:40.760
Even if it kills you!
15:40.760 --> 15:42.930
It's just a game.
15:49.190 --> 15:50.650
That hurts!
15:50.650 --> 15:53.030
I start in exactly the same condition?
15:53.030 --> 15:56.990
Would it kill them to
let me recover a little?
15:56.990 --> 15:59.120
I had silver coins in my right pocket.
15:59.120 --> 16:02.540
So then they probably also gave me...
16:03.620 --> 16:06.290
Yes! I knew it!
16:06.290 --> 16:08.040
Barf!
16:08.040 --> 16:10.670
Realistic medicinal herbs, too?
16:13.170 --> 16:14.340
Huh?
16:14.340 --> 16:16.880
In a normal full-dive game...
16:19.850 --> 16:22.390
...it would activate just like that.
16:22.390 --> 16:23.770
Hey! Come on!
16:23.770 --> 16:25.560
Do it. Say something.
16:25.560 --> 16:27.850
What? What's the deal? Still no?
16:27.850 --> 16:30.270
Take that! Well? What about this?
16:30.270 --> 16:32.320
It's looking a little wilted.
16:32.320 --> 16:35.240
What? Is this like real life, too?
16:35.240 --> 16:40.450
How do you use herbs?
Stick 'em on? Boil and drink?
16:40.450 --> 16:42.200
I have no idea!
16:42.200 --> 16:43.740
And the blood's not stopping!
16:43.740 --> 16:46.290
What the hell?
16:48.710 --> 16:53.590
What's this? I haven't
seen this NPC before.
16:53.590 --> 16:56.010
Hey, I'm not an NPC!
16:56.010 --> 16:58.050
Wait. "NPC"?
16:58.050 --> 17:01.680
If he's using meta
terminology, could he be...
17:01.680 --> 17:03.140
Ginji?
17:03.140 --> 17:06.810
Huh? How do you know my name?
17:06.810 --> 17:08.640
Oh, I was right!
17:08.640 --> 17:11.770
I'm a player character!
17:11.770 --> 17:13.770
And also I've been looking for you!
17:13.770 --> 17:15.610
I'm kinda screwed.
17:15.610 --> 17:18.280
To be playing a dead game
like this at your age,
17:18.280 --> 17:20.450
I can believe your life is screwed.
17:20.450 --> 17:23.700
I'm talking about the game, not my life!
17:23.700 --> 17:26.120
Anyway, lemme see that.
17:26.120 --> 17:27.540
Huh?
17:27.540 --> 17:30.330
This takes me back ten years.
17:30.330 --> 17:33.710
Ow! Will this heal immediately now?
17:33.710 --> 17:35.800
No, it'll hurt for two or three days.
17:35.800 --> 17:40.260
What?! This herb's no
different from normal healing!
17:42.300 --> 17:44.680
But thank you for your help.
17:44.680 --> 17:48.180
Don't sweat it. We're dead game pals.
17:48.180 --> 17:50.350
You said you were looking for me?
17:50.350 --> 17:53.360
Follow me. Let's go somewhere to talk.
17:56.780 --> 17:59.490
This is a casino?
18:02.910 --> 18:05.450
Here. Drink up!
18:05.450 --> 18:09.910
A-Alcohol? I'm underage...
18:09.910 --> 18:13.670
It tastes like cola. It's not booze.
18:13.670 --> 18:17.050
R-Really?
18:17.050 --> 18:18.630
Yum!
18:21.300 --> 18:23.510
Ah, that was refreshing.
18:23.510 --> 18:26.720
Wait, how is he drunk
on this? He's strange.
18:26.720 --> 18:29.060
So what do you need?
18:29.060 --> 18:30.680
Oh, right!
18:30.680 --> 18:35.400
Well, um, I heard that you
you-know'ed your best friend,
18:35.400 --> 18:38.980
and actually, I did, too--on accident!
18:38.980 --> 18:40.650
Oh, you, too?
18:40.650 --> 18:43.160
I really didn't mean to--
18:43.160 --> 18:43.860
--Right. Of course.
18:43.860 --> 18:45.570
--No, really--
--Right. Of course.
18:45.570 --> 18:48.540
Hey, I'm clearly talking to someone here.
18:48.540 --> 18:49.410
Huh?
18:49.410 --> 18:56.420
Look, I've told you. I don't
know the answer! I never have!
18:56.420 --> 18:59.920
Huh? What?
18:59.920 --> 19:01.840
This is scary.
19:01.840 --> 19:08.100
Sorry. They've appeared for ten years
now. And always at random times.
19:08.100 --> 19:09.720
Wh-What does?
19:09.720 --> 19:12.060
You'll see soon enough.
19:12.060 --> 19:14.560
Very soon.
19:15.560 --> 19:21.360
What was it again? You asked
about how I killed Enrique?
19:21.360 --> 19:26.200
"Enrique"? Is that your best friend?
Mine was named Martin.
19:26.200 --> 19:29.660
The best friend's name
is different for everyone.
19:29.660 --> 19:31.500
I see...
19:31.500 --> 19:34.580
So why did you kill your best friend NPC?
19:34.580 --> 19:36.960
It was a youthful
indiscretion, you could say.
19:36.960 --> 19:41.710
Haven't you ever wanted to try shooting
the townsfolk in a gun game? Same thing.
19:41.710 --> 19:43.630
I've never wanted to or done that.
19:43.630 --> 19:47.590
I got annoyed at Enrique's
best friend routine,
19:47.590 --> 19:50.760
so I just gave his neck a little squeeze.
19:50.760 --> 19:52.810
It was that easy?
19:52.810 --> 19:56.020
I did judo. Sleeper moves made it a cinch.
19:56.020 --> 20:01.480
The childhood friend wouldn't stop
screaming, so I strangled her, too.
20:01.480 --> 20:04.740
Who does that in a realistic VR game?
20:04.740 --> 20:09.240
You mean you did judo in real life, right?
Weren't you weak in the game?
20:09.240 --> 20:12.910
KQ stats reflect your
real-life physical ability.
20:12.910 --> 20:14.040
Seriously?
20:14.040 --> 20:17.170
Then to beat the game,
you need to work out?
20:17.170 --> 20:20.540
The game pursues the
ultimate in realism, so yeah.
20:20.540 --> 20:24.460
If you don't have martial arts
experience or a crafty mind,
20:24.460 --> 20:28.340
you can't even get out of this town.
20:28.340 --> 20:30.800
But then no one could win the--
20:30.800 --> 20:33.140
Someone did win.
20:33.140 --> 20:38.150
Someone fully cleared
this crazy-hard game.
20:38.150 --> 20:44.110
I only saw him once, but even as
forgetful as I am, I could never forget.
20:44.110 --> 20:47.900
He was sharp, and he was also strong.
20:47.900 --> 20:54.370
He looked kinda like a normal student,
but he had an aura about him.
20:54.370 --> 21:00.670
Apparently he got out of Ted in
no time and easily cleared the game.
21:00.670 --> 21:02.500
His name was Kamui.
21:02.500 --> 21:09.720
His title was "The Eternally Invincible:
The Never-Bested Adventurer."
21:09.720 --> 21:11.550
S-So cool!
21:11.550 --> 21:14.350
Nothing like "Best Friend Killer!"
21:14.350 --> 21:18.020
Mine's just "Not Human: Heartless."
21:18.020 --> 21:21.100
Even though I've lived a pretty
normal life these last 45 years.
21:21.100 --> 21:24.110
Though I did skip out on
my convenience store job.
21:24.110 --> 21:27.240
Yeah, that's kinda heartless.
21:27.240 --> 21:30.610
So now what do I do?
21:30.610 --> 21:32.700
Want me to help you?
21:32.700 --> 21:36.040
What? Are you saying you'll join my party?
21:36.040 --> 21:38.210
I'm too old for that now.
21:38.210 --> 21:41.920
Like I could do kid stuff
like games. Don't be silly.
21:41.920 --> 21:44.750
We're in a game right now!
21:46.250 --> 21:47.630
Besides, I have gout.
21:47.630 --> 21:49.970
And my body doesn't
move the way it used to.
21:49.970 --> 21:53.890
Oh. Then what help--
21:53.890 --> 21:56.890
Well, this kind of help.
21:59.520 --> 22:04.560
Hey! The killer is right here!
22:04.560 --> 22:09.190
Call the City Guard!
22:09.190 --> 22:11.950
Th-This asshole!
22:11.950 --> 22:15.160
He really is heartless!
23:46.080 --> 23:49.500
Episode 3: Adult Event Time.
