00:20.180 --> 00:25.350
In the 21st century, the companies
involved in VRMMO creation
00:25.350 --> 00:28.650
produced one virtual world after another.
00:28.650 --> 00:30.730
From alternate dimensions
to subterranean worlds,
00:30.730 --> 00:33.900
every possible setting was explored.
00:33.900 --> 00:38.160
Then, one long-established company
created a revolutionary piece of software.
00:38.160 --> 00:41.990
Incorporating an ultra-fast
general-purpose AI called R-Evo
00:41.990 --> 00:45.330
that made NPCs no different
from actual humans;
00:45.330 --> 00:49.460
boasting an open-ended story system
with over 10^52 branches;
00:49.460 --> 00:55.050
and achieving the previously impossible
feat of reproducing all 5 senses,
00:55.050 --> 00:57.800
this game, which pursued
the ultimate realism,
00:57.800 --> 01:01.010
entered the scene with a great splash.
01:01.010 --> 01:01.850
However,
01:01.850 --> 01:05.470
video games ought to be like video games.
01:05.470 --> 01:09.020
Humans ultimately
play games for relaxation.
01:09.020 --> 01:13.570
There was no need for the struggles
and strife of the real world in the picture.
01:13.570 --> 01:17.320
Thus, humanity arrived at a conclusion:
01:17.320 --> 01:22.240
Advanced VRMMO games are not fun.
01:22.240 --> 01:25.790
From then on, game makers
returned to non-aggravating systems,
01:25.790 --> 01:29.580
and VRMMOs steadily lost
the popularity of their golden age.
01:29.580 --> 01:31.580
Hah! Nice try!
01:31.580 --> 01:34.500
And now my gauge is full!
01:39.720 --> 01:41.550
The story that is about to unfold
01:41.550 --> 01:47.890
takes place 10 years after the
release of that problematic game.
01:53.610 --> 01:58.110
"Full Dive: This Ultimate Next-Gen Full
Dive RPG Is Even Shittier than Real Life!"
01:58.490 --> 02:02.570
"VR⨯Reality"
02:02.570 --> 02:03.200
"Faculty Room"
02:03.200 --> 02:06.160
"Faculty Room"
02:03.200 --> 02:06.160
Sorry. I still haven't decided.
02:06.160 --> 02:08.330
You're almost to your last year.
02:08.330 --> 02:12.080
Can you at least decide
between college and working?
02:12.080 --> 02:15.790
I want to have a real conversation
with you about something.
02:15.790 --> 02:17.550
The track meet your freshman year.
02:17.550 --> 02:20.220
No need to bring that up now--
02:20.220 --> 02:24.180
You won't be able to move
forward if you never address it.
02:24.180 --> 02:27.680
Isn't it the reason you can't
decide your post-graduation plans?
02:28.970 --> 02:30.810
It's not a problem, Yuki!
02:30.810 --> 02:34.230
You just need to turn
the pain into strength!
02:34.230 --> 02:37.270
The enthusiasm is suffocating.
02:37.770 --> 02:38.440
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
02:38.440 --> 02:41.240
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
02:38.440 --> 02:41.240
He's parroting the
title of an intro book...
02:41.240 --> 02:42.240
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
02:41.240 --> 02:42.240
How easily influenced can you be?
02:42.240 --> 02:42.650
02:42.650 --> 02:45.280
I know it was hard! I know it must hurt!
02:45.280 --> 02:48.160
If it had been me, I wouldn't
be able to leave the house!
02:48.160 --> 02:50.160
But you're tough!
02:50.160 --> 02:52.460
You've kept coming to school anyway!
02:52.460 --> 02:54.370
He's serious?
02:54.370 --> 02:57.630
It was such a pitiful
and heartbreaking incident.
02:57.630 --> 03:00.170
I've been a teacher for
many years, but that was truly--
03:00.170 --> 03:02.220
Mr. Yasuoka, that's enough--
03:02.220 --> 03:04.760
I want you to accept what happened!
03:04.760 --> 03:06.550
If you can't come to grips with it,
03:06.550 --> 03:08.220
I'll accept it for you!
03:08.220 --> 03:09.970
I have no idea how to fix this,
03:09.970 --> 03:11.180
but I've got you!
03:11.180 --> 03:12.680
Solidly, see?
03:12.680 --> 03:15.400
And so for now, Yuki,
03:15.400 --> 03:18.150
let's turn the strength
into pain and move forward!
03:18.150 --> 03:18.230
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
03:18.150 --> 03:18.230
let's turn the strength
into pain and move forward!
03:18.230 --> 03:21.110
"Turning Pain Into Strength"
"Post-Graduation Plans"
03:18.230 --> 03:21.110
Now you're saying it backwards!
03:22.900 --> 03:25.200
Is he some kind of idiot?
03:37.580 --> 03:39.800
Hiro!
03:39.800 --> 03:41.420
Takafumi.
03:41.420 --> 03:43.800
Well, did the meeting help?
03:43.800 --> 03:46.430
It was completely useless.
03:46.430 --> 03:48.600
I'm gonna go home and play a game.
03:48.600 --> 03:54.390
Video games are fine, but shouldn't
you do something physically active?
03:54.390 --> 03:57.190
We could go to the
gym together if you want.
03:57.190 --> 04:00.940
No, thanks. It's not like training
my body matters anymore.
04:00.940 --> 04:02.900
But using video games to run away--
04:02.900 --> 04:06.360
There's a competition
soon, right? Kick butt.
04:06.360 --> 04:09.700
Yeah, it's almost been two years since--
04:09.700 --> 04:12.240
Oh... sorry...
04:12.240 --> 04:13.500
It's fine.
04:13.500 --> 04:15.290
Well, see you tomorrow.
04:19.040 --> 04:23.050
The real world really sucks.
04:23.050 --> 04:26.130
Hey, it's Hiro!
04:26.130 --> 04:28.390
Oh, Tanishiro...
04:28.390 --> 04:30.300
and Mishina.
04:30.300 --> 04:37.100
Man, what a coincidence
running into you like this!
04:37.100 --> 04:39.270
Well, how could I say no?
04:39.270 --> 04:40.440
Thanks, dude.
04:40.440 --> 04:42.770
Whoa! We can always count on Hiro!
04:42.770 --> 04:44.740
I'll pay you back for sure.
04:44.740 --> 04:47.530
One day, definitely,
eventually, most likely.
04:47.530 --> 04:50.910
If there's someone you don't
like at school, say the word.
04:50.910 --> 04:52.580
We'll knock 'em flat for ya.
04:52.580 --> 04:55.700
The only ones I don't like
are in front of me...
04:55.700 --> 04:58.120
Yeah, thanks.
04:58.120 --> 05:00.670
It's been a pleasure--I mean, thanks.
05:00.670 --> 05:02.710
See ya around.
05:04.760 --> 05:07.010
Today sucks.
05:07.340 --> 05:08.130
"Finalizing Quest 22 Available Now!"
05:08.130 --> 05:11.680
"Finalizing Quest 22 Available Now!"
05:08.130 --> 05:11.680
Then again, today...
05:11.680 --> 05:12.220
05:12.220 --> 05:14.560
I pre-ordered FQ.
05:14.560 --> 05:16.520
One moment.
05:16.520 --> 05:24.070
...is the long-awaited release day
for the new Finalizing Quest VRMMO.
05:24.070 --> 05:26.570
That'll be 13,000 yen.
05:29.150 --> 05:31.740
Huh? I'm 1,000 yen short.
05:31.740 --> 05:34.790
I made sure I had plenty of extra money...
05:36.870 --> 05:40.250
Did I accidentally hand
them a 10,000-yen bill?
05:43.170 --> 05:46.710
I seem to be 1,000 yen short...
05:46.710 --> 05:48.510
I... see.
05:48.510 --> 05:50.220
That won't fly, will it?
05:50.220 --> 05:52.090
No, it will not.
05:52.090 --> 05:54.510
I thought not...
05:56.010 --> 06:00.270
That store had the lowest price
I could find on the internet.
06:00.270 --> 06:04.690
It'd be crazy to find
a store selling it cheaper.
06:05.110 --> 06:08.900
"Game Shop Kisaragi"
06:08.900 --> 06:11.610
"Game Shop Kisaragi"
06:08.900 --> 06:11.610
No, there's no way.
06:11.610 --> 06:12.030
"Game Shop Kisaragi"
06:21.670 --> 06:24.590
"Brand New VRMMO in stock!"
06:24.590 --> 06:26.460
For real?
06:26.460 --> 06:29.800
Hey, this is the one from 3 years ago.
06:34.970 --> 06:39.850
Yeah, what did I expect
in a store like this?
06:43.190 --> 06:45.400
Um, excuse me.
06:45.400 --> 06:47.690
I have a question.
06:47.690 --> 06:51.280
Yes, how may I help you?
06:51.280 --> 06:56.490
Um, well, do you have FQ 22
in stock? It released today.
06:56.490 --> 06:59.490
FQ... 22?
06:59.490 --> 07:04.080
Yes. It's the 22nd Finalizing Quest game.
07:11.880 --> 07:13.720
Wh-Why are you suddenly laughing?
07:13.720 --> 07:18.600
The 22nd? How many are they gonna make?
07:18.600 --> 07:20.770
We're only in the 21st century.
07:20.770 --> 07:22.770
I mean, really, 22?
07:22.770 --> 07:24.980
That's more than the
century humanity is in!
07:24.980 --> 07:27.230
Holy crap, change the title already!
07:27.230 --> 07:28.480
Oh...
07:28.480 --> 07:31.490
So then, um, is that FQ in stock?
07:31.490 --> 07:33.110
Yeah, and we're talking about FQ.
07:33.110 --> 07:34.910
You're just buying it out of habit, right?
07:34.910 --> 07:36.620
It's like with manga.
07:36.620 --> 07:38.370
You start buying them
because they're good,
07:38.370 --> 07:39.990
but then it slowly gets worse and worse.
07:39.990 --> 07:43.330
But by that point you've already
bought 20, so it feels weird to just stop.
07:43.330 --> 07:45.370
So you figure you might
as well buy the next one.
07:45.370 --> 07:47.210
I mean, what the hell, man?
07:47.210 --> 07:49.130
I-I see your point.
07:49.130 --> 07:51.840
Compared to the first FQ
I played back in elementary school,
07:51.840 --> 07:54.170
my enjoyment is gradually lessening
with each entry in the series,
07:54.170 --> 07:56.470
and I don't expect anything to top that--
07:56.470 --> 07:58.260
Hey! Hold on, hold on.
07:58.260 --> 08:00.850
You're the store clerk.
Why are you saying this to me?
08:00.850 --> 08:01.970
Because it's true.
08:01.970 --> 08:03.100
Just answer the question.
08:03.100 --> 08:05.560
Do you have FQ in stock or not?
08:05.560 --> 08:07.560
Who really cares about that?
08:07.560 --> 08:09.310
Hey, I care!
08:09.310 --> 08:11.020
If you don't have it, I'm leaving.
08:11.020 --> 08:12.570
Hold on there.
08:21.620 --> 08:22.580
I have the game for you.
08:22.580 --> 08:24.660
Huh? You do?
08:24.660 --> 08:25.710
You bet I do.
08:25.710 --> 08:26.540
How much?
08:26.540 --> 08:27.420
Ten thousand yen.
08:27.420 --> 08:28.790
Ten thousand yen exactly?
08:28.790 --> 08:29.710
Yup.
08:29.710 --> 08:30.540
Whaddaya say?
08:30.540 --> 08:33.380
F-For 10,000 yen? I'll take it!
08:33.380 --> 08:34.840
Money please.
08:36.340 --> 08:37.760
One moment.
08:37.760 --> 08:40.260
It should be over here...
08:40.260 --> 08:41.350
Here it is.
08:41.350 --> 08:42.720
Then here's the money.
08:42.720 --> 08:44.770
Thank you for your purchase.
08:44.770 --> 08:46.520
Finally.
08:46.520 --> 08:49.310
Wait! This isn't FQ!
08:54.440 --> 08:56.570
Hey! Give me my money back!
08:56.570 --> 09:00.070
Play that game. It's way better than FQ.
09:00.070 --> 09:04.540
It's a full-dive RPG that
pursues the ultimate in realism.
09:04.540 --> 09:05.700
I don't want to!
09:05.700 --> 09:08.460
Just give me my money back!
I want my money!
09:08.460 --> 09:12.670
Listen up. This game is
09:12.670 --> 09:16.090
a super hard-core
full-dive RPG for adults.
09:16.090 --> 09:19.090
What? F-For adults?
09:19.090 --> 09:20.470
Look down here.
09:20.470 --> 09:22.140
A double Z rating?!
09:22.140 --> 09:23.810
There's a rating above Z?
09:23.810 --> 09:26.100
I'm 17.
09:26.100 --> 09:32.270
This rating just means recommended for
20 plus. It's not an absolute restriction.
09:32.270 --> 09:34.400
B-But I think I'll stick with FQ--
09:34.400 --> 09:36.940
Is it fun to play such an innocent game?
09:36.940 --> 09:38.950
This is a more stimulating experience.
09:38.950 --> 09:42.490
Why not do it?
09:42.490 --> 09:44.790
Huh? H-Hey, w-wait...
09:44.790 --> 09:47.790
I'm Reona Kisaragi. Call me Reona.
09:47.790 --> 09:48.790
What's your name?
09:48.790 --> 09:50.710
H-Hiroshi... Yuki.
09:50.710 --> 09:54.750
Hiro, I log in to this game frequently.
09:54.750 --> 09:56.840
I'll teach you what you need to know.
09:56.840 --> 09:59.510
Attentively and patiently.
10:05.890 --> 10:09.520
I suddenly got a hot girl's number.
10:09.520 --> 10:11.190
What the hell am I doing?
10:11.190 --> 10:13.940
I let her honeypot me
into buying this game.
10:15.400 --> 10:16.730
Huh?
10:16.730 --> 10:19.150
This game is ten years old?!
10:20.990 --> 10:23.070
I cannot come to the phone right now.
10:23.070 --> 10:25.490
Leave a message after the beep.
10:25.490 --> 10:27.120
Screw thi--
10:29.160 --> 10:32.750
This cost 10,000 yen...
10:32.750 --> 10:34.460
I'm home...
10:35.960 --> 10:37.750
What a day...
10:41.510 --> 10:44.010
K-Kaede!
10:44.010 --> 10:47.720
S-Sorry! I didn't mean to!
It was an accident!
10:47.720 --> 10:51.020
Close the door already, you pervert!
10:52.140 --> 10:54.310
Today sucks.
11:00.240 --> 11:05.990
The VR NX console is compatible
with nearly every VR game.
11:05.990 --> 11:08.700
A 10-year-old game is no problem.
11:08.700 --> 11:10.200
The real problem is...
11:10.200 --> 11:12.460
If it's lame, I'm returning it!
11:12.460 --> 11:14.830
No matter what she tries to pull!
11:24.430 --> 11:30.680
Hero! You must defeat the Demon Lord
and save the world of Auberdine!
11:30.680 --> 11:34.730
She said this was a
super hard-core full-dive RPG,
11:34.730 --> 11:37.650
but it seems surprisingly standard.
11:37.650 --> 11:42.150
First, leave the city
and head for Flora Castle.
11:52.620 --> 11:54.460
Wow.
11:55.460 --> 12:00.500
So it uses a virtual projection
based on a scan of the player's body.
12:02.590 --> 12:07.180
Wow, the wind!
12:07.180 --> 12:08.640
And all of this!
12:08.640 --> 12:09.470
Good morning.
12:09.470 --> 12:11.640
Great weather, isn't it?
12:11.640 --> 12:15.730
The intro of a game is always so exciting!
12:17.440 --> 12:20.400
Even the feel of the
handle is crazy realistic.
12:20.400 --> 12:23.570
This is pretty incredible!
12:23.570 --> 12:26.860
Hiro, are you home?
12:26.860 --> 12:29.830
So the character name
is just my username, then.
12:29.830 --> 12:32.240
Y-Yes. Be right--
12:32.240 --> 12:34.870
Ow!
12:34.870 --> 12:36.330
Wait, that hurt?
12:36.330 --> 12:38.210
The game even reproduces pain?!
12:38.210 --> 12:42.170
Not that pain is
something I want in a game...
12:42.170 --> 12:44.420
Hiro?
12:44.420 --> 12:45.760
Ow!
12:45.760 --> 12:47.300
S-Sorry, Hiro!
12:47.300 --> 12:50.600
Are you hurt?
12:50.600 --> 12:53.390
I-I'm fine.
12:53.390 --> 12:58.560
Sorry. It was just taking so long.
12:58.560 --> 13:01.440
The quality of the skin,
and the personality...
13:01.440 --> 13:05.400
For such an old game,
the graphics are incredible.
13:05.400 --> 13:07.450
I-Is something wrong?
13:07.450 --> 13:10.320
No matter where I look,
there's no NPC label.
13:10.320 --> 13:13.160
I guess those video game
elements are cut out.
13:13.160 --> 13:16.000
Y-You're going to make me blush.
13:16.000 --> 13:18.170
It really is just like reality.
13:18.170 --> 13:21.790
It's so realistic you
could forget it's a game...
13:23.710 --> 13:24.300
"Save your adventure and quit the game?"
13:24.300 --> 13:26.590
"Save your adventure and quit the game?"
13:24.300 --> 13:26.590
Thank goodness. It's definitely a game.
13:26.590 --> 13:27.090
13:27.090 --> 13:29.380
I wasn't transported to another world.
13:29.380 --> 13:30.930
Hiro, are you okay?
13:30.930 --> 13:32.930
Did you hit your head too hard?
13:32.930 --> 13:34.970
Um, you're...
13:34.970 --> 13:38.810
Huh? It's me, Alicia. We've
been friends since childhood.
13:38.810 --> 13:41.810
A childhood friend.
So that's the backstory.
13:41.810 --> 13:46.860
You promised you'd help me with
the apple harvest today. Remember?
13:46.860 --> 13:49.700
Oh, right. Of course.
13:49.700 --> 13:51.570
What's taking so long, Hiro?
13:51.570 --> 13:53.620
The apples will get over-ripe.
13:53.620 --> 13:57.120
Oh, looks like we have a
"nice young man" character.
13:57.120 --> 14:01.120
Sorry, Brother. I accidentally
made Hiro hit his head.
14:01.120 --> 14:03.130
His head? That could be bad.
14:03.130 --> 14:05.880
Let your best bud, Martin, handle this.
14:05.880 --> 14:07.260
Here.
14:09.680 --> 14:11.260
It smells like an apple!
14:11.260 --> 14:13.050
It really is realistic.
14:13.050 --> 14:14.100
Why an apple?
14:14.100 --> 14:16.350
It keeps the doctor away.
14:16.350 --> 14:18.680
That's for colds, not injuries.
14:18.680 --> 14:22.310
How do you like the quality
this year? Delicious, right?
14:22.310 --> 14:23.560
It is delicious.
14:23.560 --> 14:27.570
Wait--there's taste, too?!
14:27.570 --> 14:31.200
You must be hungry not to cut it first.
14:33.240 --> 14:34.120
There.
14:34.120 --> 14:36.490
It's seriously no
different from real life.
14:36.490 --> 14:39.120
This game might have
been a really good find!
14:39.120 --> 14:42.370
Oh, right. The first screen
told me what to do.
14:42.370 --> 14:46.630
First, leave the city
and head for Flora Castle.
14:46.630 --> 14:50.420
Hey, how do I get to Flora Castle?
14:56.970 --> 15:01.640
A-Are you crazy? Some things
aren't okay to joke about!
15:01.640 --> 15:04.270
Hiro, that's not funny!
15:04.270 --> 15:06.190
It wasn't a joke...
15:06.190 --> 15:08.530
I just want to go outside the city.
15:08.530 --> 15:10.610
You idiot!
15:10.610 --> 15:15.120
Watch what you say!
What if the City Guard hears you?
15:15.120 --> 15:17.950
The City Guard? Why would that matter?
15:17.950 --> 15:20.200
Hiro, stop playing around.
15:20.200 --> 15:22.460
We need to go to our family's farm.
15:22.460 --> 15:27.040
Huh? The mood's gotten all weird.
15:27.040 --> 15:32.880
Sorry, but could I pick the apples later?
I'd like to go outside the city first.
15:34.300 --> 15:35.760
Something's wrong.
15:35.760 --> 15:37.140
He's not right in the head.
15:37.140 --> 15:41.100
But it's totally normal
to leave the city in an RPG!
15:41.100 --> 15:46.020
Look, I'm going.
I'll help with the apples later.
15:46.020 --> 15:48.900
I can't wait to see
what adventure is waiti--
15:48.900 --> 15:51.440
Hiro!
15:53.200 --> 15:56.570
Why would you suddenly tackle me?
Aren't you supposed to be my best friend?
15:56.570 --> 15:58.240
This really hurts!
15:58.240 --> 16:02.620
It's because we're best friends!
How could I let you commit ex-urbance?
16:02.620 --> 16:04.540
E-Ex-urbance?
16:04.540 --> 16:08.460
Hey, do you have amnesia or something?
16:08.460 --> 16:10.880
No, of course not.
16:10.880 --> 16:12.260
I think.
16:12.260 --> 16:14.260
Listen up and listen good!
16:14.260 --> 16:19.850
The town of Ted is surrounded by
a giant moat to protect the citizenry.
16:19.850 --> 16:23.480
All residents are prohibited
from leaving the city!
16:23.480 --> 16:27.560
Except for special envoys, no one is
allowed to enter from outside, either!
16:27.560 --> 16:32.110
The town is sequestered from
contact with the outside world!
16:32.110 --> 16:34.030
Oh, isn't that overkill?
16:34.030 --> 16:38.120
Are goblins gonna attack
in a super huge group?
16:38.120 --> 16:39.280
Is that it?
16:39.280 --> 16:42.950
Well, this is the first town.
Guess you have to start somewhere.
16:42.950 --> 16:44.910
I'll just go defeat them real quick.
16:44.910 --> 16:46.920
Alicia, I think...
16:46.920 --> 16:48.880
Yeah, it might be too late...
16:48.880 --> 16:50.710
I can hear you!
16:50.710 --> 16:55.090
I'm going to have to
open your eyes for you!
16:58.180 --> 17:00.510
Oh, I see. It's an event.
17:00.510 --> 17:05.180
If you beat Martin handily, you get to
make a big deal of it and leave the city.
17:05.180 --> 17:10.980
It takes the place of a tutorial.
17:10.980 --> 17:12.980
In that case--
17:24.160 --> 17:27.210
I-I'm bleeding! My nose is bleeding!
17:27.210 --> 17:29.500
Do you get it now?
17:29.500 --> 17:32.630
That hurt! You damned idiot!
Some best friend!
17:32.630 --> 17:35.090
Screw you! I don't even know you!
17:35.090 --> 17:39.380
What? You've even forgotten
about the promise we made that day?
17:39.380 --> 17:42.720
Under the Kenura tree?
17:42.720 --> 17:47.680
Who gives a shit about
some weird-named tree?!
17:47.680 --> 17:50.900
Hiro!
17:50.900 --> 17:53.690
That really hurts!
17:55.070 --> 17:57.030
Martin, violence is wrong!
17:57.030 --> 18:01.620
It's a little late for that shit!
I've already been beaten up!
18:02.620 --> 18:06.540
I mean, look at you. How could you
hold your own against a goblin?
18:06.540 --> 18:11.790
Dammit! I'm sick of all this shit!
18:11.790 --> 18:14.540
In the real world, it's just
one shitty thing after another,
18:14.540 --> 18:17.460
and now I have to get beat up in a game?!
18:17.460 --> 18:21.010
Dammit! Dammit!
18:21.010 --> 18:22.430
Screw you!
18:22.430 --> 18:25.260
You're a damned NPC!
18:28.230 --> 18:31.480
I got you! Not so tough now!
18:35.320 --> 18:38.610
M-Martin?
18:38.610 --> 18:41.070
A-Are you okay?
18:49.710 --> 18:51.960
Brother!
18:51.960 --> 18:53.380
Brother!
18:53.380 --> 18:55.210
H-He's dead!
18:55.210 --> 18:58.170
What? But... That can't... What?
18:58.170 --> 19:01.090
No! He's dead!
19:01.090 --> 19:04.550
S-Stay calm! D-Do we
have any healing herbs?
19:04.550 --> 19:06.810
I just said he's dead!
19:06.810 --> 19:09.140
What good will an herb do?!
19:09.140 --> 19:11.270
I-I guess none.
19:11.270 --> 19:15.230
Tell me, Hiro. What are you
gonna do about this? Tell me!
19:15.230 --> 19:18.820
I-I didn't mean to! It was an accident!
19:18.820 --> 19:21.360
But my brother is dead, for dead certain.
19:21.360 --> 19:24.110
He's dead with a knife stuck in him!
19:24.110 --> 19:25.030
S-Sorr--
19:25.030 --> 19:28.910
Hiro. Tell me, what the
hell are you gonna do?
19:28.910 --> 19:32.080
Hiro, Hiro, Hiro, Hiro!
19:32.080 --> 19:36.250
I'm sorry!
19:44.180 --> 19:45.970
Hiro, you bastard!
19:45.970 --> 19:47.800
Don't you dare run away!
19:47.800 --> 19:49.220
Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
19:49.220 --> 19:53.770
What the hell?
What the hell is happening?!
19:53.770 --> 19:57.690
Hiro!
20:05.490 --> 20:08.200
What the hell is happening?
20:08.200 --> 20:11.160
Hiro!
20:16.290 --> 20:19.340
S-Somehow I got away.
20:19.340 --> 20:22.050
But I k-killed someone.
20:22.050 --> 20:26.260
Wh-What am I gonna do?
20:26.260 --> 20:27.800
Wait. Hold up.
20:27.800 --> 20:29.680
This is a game, right?
20:29.680 --> 20:30.890
It's fine.
20:30.890 --> 20:33.640
All I have to do is start over
and select "New Game"--
20:33.640 --> 20:35.060
Hiro.
20:35.060 --> 20:37.060
I'm sorry!
20:37.060 --> 20:38.560
Wait, Reona?
20:38.560 --> 20:43.070
Sorry I didn't pick up the phone.
I was taking a bath.
20:43.070 --> 20:44.740
A-A bath?
20:47.240 --> 20:49.570
Now's not the time.
20:49.570 --> 20:50.740
What's wrong?
20:50.740 --> 20:53.540
Reona, your...
20:53.540 --> 20:54.710
Oh, my avatar?
20:54.710 --> 20:59.210
It's a special store perk.
Only shop employees get it.
20:59.210 --> 21:02.130
Aren't perks normally for customers?
21:02.130 --> 21:03.920
And why are you dressed like that?
21:03.920 --> 21:10.510
I'm a fairy! Monsters and NPCs can't
see me. And they can't hear me, either.
21:10.510 --> 21:12.720
Basically, I'm support.
21:12.720 --> 21:15.230
I said I'd teach you
attentively and patiently.
21:15.230 --> 21:17.140
Oh, I see.
21:17.140 --> 21:19.480
Did you finish picking apples?
21:19.480 --> 21:22.900
Are you on a walk through the city
with your cute childhood friend?
21:22.900 --> 21:28.360
Um, well, no... I think I messed up
the first quest branch...
21:28.360 --> 21:33.410
Oh? Don't tell me you did something
pervy to your childhood friend.
21:33.410 --> 21:35.410
Um, well, you see...
21:35.410 --> 21:37.750
Wait, I'll figure it out.
21:37.750 --> 21:40.420
Oh, I didn't notice I was wearing this.
21:40.420 --> 21:44.760
You noticed how the ultra realism
excludes status screens and such?
21:44.760 --> 21:49.430
Well, the way to see game
progress is with the title system!
21:49.430 --> 21:51.140
Title system?
21:51.140 --> 21:56.430
On this necklace you're given a title
that is appropriate to your game state.
21:56.430 --> 21:59.390
So right now you're...
22:00.900 --> 22:05.360
T-Title: "Best Friend Killer"!
22:05.360 --> 22:06.780
What?
22:06.780 --> 22:10.280
"Best Friend Killer"
22:10.910 --> 22:14.580
It's game over right off the bat!
23:46.080 --> 23:49.050
Episode 2: Living in a Dead Game.
