pursues the ultimate in realism.
00:14.210 --> 00:15.470
--If it's lame, I'm returning it!
--It's a full-dive RPG that

00:15.470 --> 00:16.260
--If it's lame, I'm returning it!
00:16.260 --> 00:17.970
No! He's dead!
00:17.970 --> 00:19.220
Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
00:19.220 --> 00:20.050
What the hell?
00:20.050 --> 00:21.850
"Best Friend Killer"!
00:21.850 --> 00:22.010
It's game over right off the bat!
00:22.010 --> 00:23.560
"Best Friend Killer"
"Amicide"
00:22.010 --> 00:23.560
It's game over right off the bat!
00:23.560 --> 00:24.220
It's game over right off the bat!
00:24.220 --> 00:25.640
What?
01:57.990 --> 02:01.110
"Living in a Dead Game"
02:01.320 --> 02:03.280
Best Friend Killer?
02:03.280 --> 02:05.740
And what do you mean, "game over"?
02:05.740 --> 02:08.500
To kill your best friend
right off the bat...
02:08.500 --> 02:10.870
you're one messed up
high schooler, huh?
02:10.870 --> 02:12.120
You've got it all wrong!
02:12.120 --> 02:14.630
It was, um, uh...
02:14.630 --> 02:15.630
...an accident!
02:15.630 --> 02:17.800
That's what most murderers say.
02:17.800 --> 02:18.960
It was!
02:18.960 --> 02:22.340
I just gave a little push and
suddenly it was like, splooch!
02:22.340 --> 02:23.470
So it was...
02:23.470 --> 02:24.680
...intentional.
02:24.680 --> 02:25.890
Absolutely not!
02:25.890 --> 02:27.720
Look, just tell me how to reset the game!
02:27.720 --> 02:29.180
You can't, dude.
02:29.180 --> 02:32.060
There are no do-overs in this game.
02:32.060 --> 02:35.190
Real life doesn't have a
"New Game" option, right?
02:35.190 --> 02:38.280
That's part of what
it means to pursue realism.
02:38.280 --> 02:40.400
What's with the smug look?
02:40.400 --> 02:42.990
Also, Kiwame Quest uses autosave.
02:42.990 --> 02:44.030
Even if you quit right away,
02:44.030 --> 02:46.990
you'd continue from
after killing your best friend.
02:46.990 --> 02:52.080
So then I'm forever stuck with
the title "Best Friend Killer"?
02:52.080 --> 02:54.920
And you can't just buy
another copy of the game.
02:54.920 --> 02:57.340
Your play history is
retained on your hardware.
02:57.340 --> 03:01.130
To start over you'd have
to purchase a new console.
03:01.130 --> 03:06.180
The VR NX costs 90,000 yen.
At that price, I...
03:06.180 --> 03:08.970
FYI, I do sell those.
03:08.970 --> 03:10.720
Just 120,000 yen.
03:10.720 --> 03:11.890
That's crazy high!
03:11.890 --> 03:15.020
Enough already! I'm returning this!
Give me my money back!
03:15.020 --> 03:16.020
That's not happening.
03:16.020 --> 03:17.400
Wh-Why?
03:17.400 --> 03:17.860
We have a strict policy:
03:17.860 --> 03:19.070

03:24.360 --> 03:26.700
I'll report you to a consumer agency!
03:26.700 --> 03:29.990
I have no desire to cast a
shadow over your bright future
03:29.990 --> 03:31.330
with a nasty legal battle.
03:31.330 --> 03:33.250
Let's think more constructively.
03:33.250 --> 03:34.790
Constructively?
03:34.790 --> 03:36.830
You said it's already
game over, didn't you?
03:36.830 --> 03:43.260
Kiwame Quest, KQ for short, is a full-dive
RPG sold ten years ago only in Japan.
03:43.260 --> 03:45.590
The company already shut down services.
03:45.590 --> 03:50.100
The player base shrank and shrank,
and it's essentially a dead game.
03:50.100 --> 03:54.310
Even so, an extremely small
number of players still remain.
03:54.310 --> 03:57.150
There are people still playing this game?
03:57.150 --> 03:59.230
It's a big country!
03:59.230 --> 04:03.150
And one of those rare players is Ginji.
04:03.150 --> 04:04.740
Ginji...
04:04.740 --> 04:07.200
Sounds like my money's getting stolen...
04:07.200 --> 04:11.580
Ginji supposedly also killed his best
friend at the start ten years ago.
04:11.580 --> 04:13.660
So let's try asking him.
04:13.660 --> 04:15.620
O-Okay.
04:15.620 --> 04:19.330
Oh, but first, check your right pocket.
04:21.250 --> 04:23.760
That's your starting money. Thirty gald.
04:23.760 --> 04:25.420
Let's buy some cheap clothes with it.
04:25.420 --> 04:26.680
Clothes?
04:26.680 --> 04:30.220
I imagine the next stage
of your situation is...
04:30.220 --> 04:32.390
Did you hear about Martin?
04:32.390 --> 04:34.270
Yeah, I heard he was killed.
04:34.270 --> 04:36.810
What?! Who would kill
such a nice young man?
04:36.810 --> 04:40.270
Well... apparently it
was his best friend, Hiro.
04:40.270 --> 04:43.610
The City Guard is looking for him.
04:44.820 --> 04:47.280
There are already wanted posters?
04:47.280 --> 04:51.330
Yup. You're a full-on fugitive.
Get plastic surgery if possible.
04:51.330 --> 04:53.410
Real-life plastic surgery for my avatar?!
04:53.410 --> 04:56.870
Anyway, the clothing store isn't far,
but keep your head down.
04:56.870 --> 05:00.330
Walk like someone ostracized from society.
05:01.710 --> 05:04.760
I don't want to play this game anymore...
05:06.760 --> 05:09.550
This is it, Hiro.
05:09.550 --> 05:12.760
Is it really safe for me to enter a store?
05:12.760 --> 05:16.060
Whether in real life or virtual reality,
stores are all about the customer.
05:16.060 --> 05:19.690
No matter how suspicious you seem,
they won't just immediately report you.
05:19.690 --> 05:21.560
Is that true?
05:21.560 --> 05:24.900
Yes. I should know. I'm a merchant myself!
05:24.900 --> 05:27.360
You're not particularly trustworthy...
05:29.030 --> 05:30.860
Welcome.
05:32.240 --> 05:34.280
Hiro, get this one.
05:35.330 --> 05:38.250
Fifteen gald.
05:38.250 --> 05:40.830
I-I'll take this.
05:40.830 --> 05:42.290
Sure.
05:43.380 --> 05:47.420
Sir, you're the talk
of the town right now.
05:47.420 --> 05:49.840
H-Hey! You said it'd be safe!
05:51.930 --> 05:57.140
Now, now. I'm a businessman.
I'm not reporting my customers.
05:57.140 --> 05:59.100
Th-Then...
06:00.350 --> 06:03.060
Twenty-five gald.
06:03.060 --> 06:07.730
He took thorough stock of the situation.
That's KQ's NPCs for you.
06:07.730 --> 06:09.110
Realistic, right?
06:09.110 --> 06:11.740
I'd call it unpleasant, not realistic!
06:11.740 --> 06:14.030
So I'm also stuck with high prices?
06:14.030 --> 06:17.910
It's yet another reason
we should talk to Ginji.
06:17.910 --> 06:21.580
So, where do we find this Ginji?
06:21.580 --> 06:23.630
Supposedly he's always at the casino.
06:23.630 --> 06:24.960
Been that way for ten years.
06:24.960 --> 06:28.170
Ten years?! Does he have
a gambling addiction?
06:28.170 --> 06:30.840
Dunno. He's probably just garbage.
06:30.840 --> 06:33.510
That's harsh!
06:36.680 --> 06:39.350
This city's pretty big, huh.
06:39.350 --> 06:43.190
Yes. Though it's inland on
the continent of Alfrey,
06:43.190 --> 06:47.110
trade with other towns
or castles is prohibited.
06:47.110 --> 06:49.530
It's a massive, self-sufficient city
that's practically closed off.
06:49.530 --> 06:52.700
The city of Ted, AKA the Closed City.
06:52.700 --> 06:54.070
The Closed City?
06:54.070 --> 06:59.200
FYI, leaving without permission is
punished severely as "exurbance."
06:59.200 --> 07:03.040
No one had a better name for the crime?
07:03.040 --> 07:07.290
Anyway, getting out of the city
is the first step to clearing KQ.
07:07.290 --> 07:10.170
Let's ask Ginji about that, too.
07:14.430 --> 07:17.680
We should be in the clear now.
The casino is close.
07:17.680 --> 07:19.260
Ah, what a relief--
07:19.260 --> 07:22.140
Hiro!
07:31.820 --> 07:34.030
Alicia?!
07:36.240 --> 07:38.160
I found you.
07:38.160 --> 07:40.290
I've looked everywhere.
07:40.290 --> 07:43.580
How? I was even wearing a hood!
07:43.580 --> 07:46.210
I recognized you instantly!
07:46.210 --> 07:50.590
I've known you since childhood after all.
07:52.970 --> 07:55.550
What a terrifying childhood friend!
07:55.550 --> 07:58.930
That's the ultra-fast
general-purpose AI R-Evo for you!
07:58.930 --> 08:01.680
The NPC's have personality,
freedom, and insight--
08:01.680 --> 08:03.890
Be impressed later!
08:03.890 --> 08:07.100
Oh, what's wrong, Hiro?
08:07.100 --> 08:09.860
Why are you talking to yourself?
08:09.860 --> 08:14.610
Oh, right. NPCs can't
perceive Reona's fairy form.
08:14.610 --> 08:17.910
A-Alicia! Hear me out!
It was an accident and...
08:17.910 --> 08:20.620
Yes, I know.
08:20.620 --> 08:23.790
I went a little crazy there, didn't I?
08:23.790 --> 08:25.870
So much screaming and shouting...
08:25.870 --> 08:29.000
Oh, but I've calmed down a little now.
08:29.000 --> 08:31.040
Alicia.
08:31.040 --> 08:33.670
I loved you, Hiro.
08:33.670 --> 08:36.550
No, I still love you a ton!
08:36.550 --> 08:37.800
And so I'll...
08:37.800 --> 08:40.350
Th-Thank goodness. Everything's...
08:40.350 --> 08:41.890
...give you sweet release!
08:41.890 --> 08:44.060
...not okay at all!
08:44.060 --> 08:47.230
Don't worry. I'll follow soon after.
08:47.230 --> 08:49.690
The three of us will be friends again
08:49.690 --> 08:50.980
in the afterlife!
08:50.980 --> 08:53.110
Oh, no! She's totally lost it!
08:53.110 --> 08:54.940
Come on, Hiro...
08:54.940 --> 08:57.110
Th-That's...
08:57.110 --> 08:59.280
the knife from...
08:59.280 --> 09:02.080
Yes, I'm Hell's Fruit Slicer--
09:02.080 --> 09:05.750
The Fruit Knife Wielder From Hell:
09:05.750 --> 09:08.040
Alicia Von Rotarzen!
09:08.040 --> 09:11.170
What kind of title is that? No thank you!
09:11.170 --> 09:13.500
I'll chop you up into little bits!
09:13.500 --> 09:16.470
Like I'm making apple juice!
09:19.510 --> 09:23.930
Be careful! The childhood
friend's speed is set oddly high.
09:23.930 --> 09:26.810
Lots of players have her join their party.
09:26.810 --> 09:28.810
She was supposed to join my party?!
09:28.810 --> 09:32.310
It's an open-ended story system,
so it's your choice who joins you.
09:32.310 --> 09:35.570
Though the best friend and
the childhood friend are standard.
09:35.570 --> 09:38.990
Except I killed one and
the other's about to kill me!
09:38.990 --> 09:42.070
Hiro, what's all the muttering about?
09:42.070 --> 09:47.040
Oh, of course. You're saying
prayers of repentance!
09:47.040 --> 09:49.500
Hiro!
09:52.250 --> 09:53.750
Hiro! Run! Run! Run!
09:53.750 --> 09:55.090
Don't stop or you're a pincushion!
09:55.090 --> 09:56.630
Please, no!
09:56.630 --> 09:59.090
--Hiro! Get back here!
09:59.090 --> 10:00.300
--T-T-Take a right here!
--Hiro! Get back here!
10:00.300 --> 10:01.050
Okay!
10:01.050 --> 10:01.890
Now a left!
10:01.890 --> 10:02.760
Okay!
10:02.760 --> 10:03.260
--Right!
10:03.260 --> 10:03.800
--Don't run away!
--Okay!
--Right!
10:03.800 --> 10:04.300
--Don't run away!
--Okay!
--Left!
10:04.300 --> 10:04.640
--Don't run away!
--Okay!
--Left!
10:04.640 --> 10:05.100
--Okay!
--Right!
10:05.100 --> 10:05.510
--Okay!
--Right!
10:05.510 --> 10:05.890
--Okay!
--Left!
10:05.890 --> 10:06.310
--Okay!
--Left!
10:06.310 --> 10:06.680
--Okay!
--Right!
10:06.680 --> 10:07.220
--Okay!
--Right!
10:07.220 --> 10:07.720
--Okay!
--Left!
10:07.720 --> 10:08.560
--Okay!
--Left!
10:08.560 --> 10:09.520
--Okay!
10:17.780 --> 10:20.360
Hiro, you're a really fast runner.
10:20.360 --> 10:24.490
The real question is why
I'm so tired in a video game.
10:24.490 --> 10:29.910
KQ doesn't stop at the five senses.
It reproduces fatigue, too!
10:29.910 --> 10:32.420
I could do without that feature.
10:32.420 --> 10:35.000
Did I level up?
10:35.000 --> 10:39.510
What? "Running Best Friend Killer:
Fleet-footed Amicide"?
10:39.510 --> 10:42.680
You did it! You got a new title!
10:42.680 --> 10:45.890
Does this raise my speed or something?
10:45.890 --> 10:48.640
Nope. They're just something you collect!
10:48.640 --> 10:52.480
Let's keep this up and get lots of titles!
10:52.480 --> 10:55.940
Sorry. I think I need
to log out for today.
10:55.940 --> 10:58.110
Really? Now of all times?
10:58.110 --> 11:00.280
I have school tomorrow!
11:00.280 --> 11:04.780
Who cares about school?
Just enjoy the present.
11:04.780 --> 11:07.370
What kind of adult says that?!
11:07.370 --> 11:09.410
The life of a shut-in is a valid choice.
11:09.410 --> 11:12.540
Even so, I'd like to stop for now!
11:12.540 --> 11:14.960
Okay, fine.
11:14.960 --> 11:17.170
Go ahead and save in case.
11:20.170 --> 11:22.970
Huh? The save screen won't pop up...
11:22.970 --> 11:26.930
KQ doesn't let you log out during combat.
11:26.930 --> 11:28.180
So then...
11:28.180 --> 11:31.310
You're not out of combat yet!
11:35.440 --> 11:38.730
There you are!
11:43.820 --> 11:46.620
Ow!
11:46.620 --> 11:51.120
Stay calm! Pain is set to
be lower than in real life.
11:51.120 --> 11:53.710
It doesn't feel like that to me!
11:53.710 --> 11:55.370
Even if you got a limb torn off,
11:55.370 --> 11:59.590
it shouldn't hurt any more than full-body
bruises from falling down the stairs.
11:59.590 --> 12:00.550
No need to worry!
12:00.550 --> 12:03.090
That's not reassuring!
12:03.090 --> 12:09.140
What the hell is with all this mumbling?
12:09.140 --> 12:11.680
I-It's all over!
12:13.640 --> 12:16.480
My eye!
12:16.480 --> 12:18.440
Take this! And this!
12:18.440 --> 12:20.520
--What's happening?
--And one of these!
12:20.520 --> 12:22.150
Reona.
12:22.150 --> 12:23.030
Dammit!
12:23.030 --> 12:25.070
Hiro, hurry! Run!
12:25.070 --> 12:27.740
R-Right!
12:27.740 --> 12:29.370
Dammit!
12:29.370 --> 12:30.700
Hiro!
12:30.700 --> 12:34.790
No matter where you run,
I swear I'll find you and kill you!
12:34.790 --> 12:36.580
Your fate is to be chopped up
12:36.580 --> 12:42.920
by Hell's Fruit Slicer: Alicia,
the Fruit Knife Wielder From Hell!
12:42.920 --> 12:47.840
What the hell is wrong with this game?
12:57.850 --> 13:02.980
How long has it been
since I ran all-out like that?
13:06.490 --> 13:07.950
"Reona"
13:13.160 --> 13:14.750
Reona?
13:14.750 --> 13:17.000
Let's play KQ again today!
13:17.000 --> 13:18.460
When does school end?
13:18.460 --> 13:20.790
I'll log in, so make sure to join me!
13:20.790 --> 13:23.550
Even if it kills you!
13:23.550 --> 13:26.130
Is this a threat?
13:28.680 --> 13:31.430
So did you get your new game?
13:31.430 --> 13:35.390
Actually, I was tricked into
getting this weird full-dive RPG.
13:35.390 --> 13:37.140
Wait, what?
13:37.140 --> 13:40.270
It's crazy realistic. You even feel pain.
13:40.270 --> 13:42.360
It's a game, but it hurts like crazy.
13:42.360 --> 13:44.150
So it's a shitty game?
13:44.150 --> 13:45.860
You got that right.
13:48.820 --> 13:50.950
I'm sorry about yesterday.
13:50.950 --> 13:53.080
Video games are your hobby,
13:53.080 --> 13:55.200
and I didn't have any business
saying anything about it.
13:55.200 --> 13:57.200
It's okay. I'm not mad or anything.
13:57.200 --> 13:59.000
Good.
13:59.000 --> 14:03.710
Though I do think it's
out of fashion and juvenile.
14:03.710 --> 14:08.720
But for real, Hiro. You really need
to set them straight once and for all.
14:08.720 --> 14:10.430
Look. Doesn't this rule?
14:10.430 --> 14:12.220
Ooh, sweet! Let's buy it.
14:12.220 --> 14:14.850
We have our awesome friend, after all.
14:14.850 --> 14:16.720
You got that right!
14:18.480 --> 14:20.980
Th-They're not really a big--
14:20.980 --> 14:26.440
If you only ever play games,
you won't be treated with respect.
14:26.440 --> 14:29.360
That may be true...
14:32.780 --> 14:35.620
Out of fashion and juvenile...
14:35.620 --> 14:38.790
And never treated with respect, huh?
14:48.090 --> 14:50.510
Kaede...
14:50.510 --> 14:51.880
I knew it.
14:51.880 --> 14:53.010
Playing games again?
14:53.010 --> 14:54.760
Oh, no. I'm--
14:54.760 --> 14:57.100
It's loud and annoying. For real.
14:57.100 --> 14:57.930
Huh?
14:57.930 --> 15:00.980
You were shouting and
screaming last night, too.
15:00.980 --> 15:06.060
Sorry. But it's okay. I was just
playing a game. No need to worry.
15:06.060 --> 15:09.030
Who would worry about you?
15:09.030 --> 15:11.530
I wish you'd get rid of that crap.
15:11.530 --> 15:14.950
I-It's not some big problem
for me to have a hobby.
15:14.950 --> 15:15.740
If you're gonna have one, why not
take up running like you used to?
15:15.740 --> 15:18.290
"National Track"
15:15.740 --> 15:18.290
If you're gonna have one, why not
take up running like you used to?
15:18.290 --> 15:20.410
"National Track"
15:18.290 --> 15:20.410
Why would I go back
to that after all this time?
15:20.410 --> 15:21.160
Why would I go back
to that after all this time?
15:21.160 --> 15:24.500
Whatever. I don't care.
Just stop playing games late at night.
15:24.500 --> 15:27.500
Or cover your eyes, nose, and mouth first!
15:27.500 --> 15:29.670
That'd kill me!
15:32.930 --> 15:36.470
What is everyone's problem?
15:36.470 --> 15:38.720
I'll log in, so make sure to join me!
15:38.720 --> 15:40.720
Even if it kills you!
15:40.720 --> 15:42.890
It's just a game.
15:49.150 --> 15:50.610
That hurts!
15:50.610 --> 15:52.990
I start in exactly the same condition?
15:52.990 --> 15:56.950
Would it kill them to
let me recover a little?
15:56.950 --> 15:59.080
I had silver coins in my right pocket.
15:59.080 --> 16:02.500
So then they probably also gave me...
16:03.580 --> 16:06.250
Yes! I knew it!
16:06.250 --> 16:08.000
Barf!
16:08.000 --> 16:10.630
Realistic medicinal herbs, too?
16:13.130 --> 16:14.300
Huh?
16:14.300 --> 16:16.840
In a normal full-dive game...
16:19.810 --> 16:22.350
...it would activate just like that.
16:22.350 --> 16:23.730
Hey! Come on!
16:23.730 --> 16:25.520
Do it. Say something.
16:25.520 --> 16:27.810
What? What's the deal? Still no?
16:27.810 --> 16:30.230
Take that! Well? What about this?
16:30.230 --> 16:32.280
It's looking a little wilted.
16:32.280 --> 16:35.200
What? Is this like real life, too?
16:35.200 --> 16:40.410
How do you use herbs?
Stick 'em on? Boil and drink?
16:40.410 --> 16:42.160
I have no idea!
16:42.160 --> 16:43.700
And the blood's not stopping!
16:43.700 --> 16:46.250
What the hell?
16:48.670 --> 16:53.550
What's this? I haven't
seen this NPC before.
16:53.550 --> 16:55.970
Hey, I'm not an NPC!
16:55.970 --> 16:58.010
Wait. "NPC"?
16:58.010 --> 17:01.640
If he's using meta
terminology, could he be...
17:01.640 --> 17:03.100
Ginji?
17:03.100 --> 17:06.770
Huh? How do you know my name?
17:06.770 --> 17:08.600
Oh, I was right!
17:08.600 --> 17:11.730
I'm a player character!
17:11.730 --> 17:13.730
And also I've been looking for you!
17:13.730 --> 17:15.570
I'm kinda screwed.
17:15.570 --> 17:18.240
To be playing a dead game
like this at your age,
17:18.240 --> 17:20.410
I can believe your life is screwed.
17:20.410 --> 17:23.660
I'm talking about the game, not my life!
17:23.660 --> 17:26.080
Anyway, lemme see that.
17:26.080 --> 17:27.500
Huh?
17:27.500 --> 17:30.290
This takes me back ten years.
17:30.290 --> 17:33.670
Ow! Will this heal immediately now?
17:33.670 --> 17:35.760
No, it'll hurt for two or three days.
17:35.760 --> 17:40.220
What?! This herb's no
different from normal healing!
17:42.260 --> 17:44.640
But thank you for your help.
17:44.640 --> 17:48.140
Don't sweat it. We're dead game pals.
17:48.140 --> 17:50.310
You said you were looking for me?
17:50.310 --> 17:53.320
Follow me. Let's go somewhere to talk.
17:56.740 --> 17:59.450
This is a casino?
18:02.870 --> 18:05.410
Here. Drink up!
18:05.410 --> 18:09.870
A-Alcohol? I'm underage...
18:09.870 --> 18:13.630
It tastes like cola. It's not booze.
18:13.630 --> 18:17.010
R-Really?
18:17.010 --> 18:18.590
Yum!
18:21.260 --> 18:23.470
Ah, that was refreshing.
18:23.470 --> 18:26.680
Wait, how is he drunk
on this? He's strange.
18:26.680 --> 18:29.020
So what do you need?
18:29.020 --> 18:30.640
Oh, right!
18:30.640 --> 18:35.360
Well, um, I heard that you
you-know'ed your best friend,
18:35.360 --> 18:38.940
and actually, I did, too--on accident!
18:38.940 --> 18:40.610
Oh, you, too?
18:40.610 --> 18:43.120
I really didn't mean to--
18:43.120 --> 18:43.820
--Right. Of course.
18:43.820 --> 18:45.530
--No, really--
--Right. Of course.
18:45.530 --> 18:48.500
Hey, I'm clearly talking to someone here.
18:48.500 --> 18:49.370
Huh?
18:49.370 --> 18:56.380
Look, I've told you. I don't
know the answer! I never have!
18:56.380 --> 18:59.880
Huh? What?
18:59.880 --> 19:01.800
This is scary.
19:01.800 --> 19:08.060
Sorry. They've appeared for ten years
now. And always at random times.
19:08.060 --> 19:09.680
Wh-What does?
19:09.680 --> 19:12.020
You'll see soon enough.
19:12.020 --> 19:14.520
Very soon.
19:15.520 --> 19:21.320
What was it again? You asked
about how I killed Enrique?
19:21.320 --> 19:26.160
"Enrique"? Is that your best friend?
Mine was named Martin.
19:26.160 --> 19:29.620
The best friend's name
is different for everyone.
19:29.620 --> 19:31.460
I see...
19:31.460 --> 19:34.540
So why did you kill your best friend NPC?
19:34.540 --> 19:36.920
It was a youthful
indiscretion, you could say.
19:36.920 --> 19:41.670
Haven't you ever wanted to try shooting
the townsfolk in a gun game? Same thing.
19:41.670 --> 19:43.590
I've never wanted to or done that.
19:43.590 --> 19:47.550
I got annoyed at Enrique's
best friend routine,
19:47.550 --> 19:50.720
so I just gave his neck a little squeeze.
19:50.720 --> 19:52.770
It was that easy?
19:52.770 --> 19:55.980
I did judo. Sleeper moves made it a cinch.
19:55.980 --> 20:01.440
The childhood friend wouldn't stop
screaming, so I strangled her, too.
20:01.440 --> 20:04.700
Who does that in a realistic VR game?
20:04.700 --> 20:09.200
You mean you did judo in real life, right?
Weren't you weak in the game?
20:09.200 --> 20:12.870
KQ stats reflect your
real-life physical ability.
20:12.870 --> 20:14.000
Seriously?
20:14.000 --> 20:17.130
Then to beat the game,
you need to work out?
20:17.130 --> 20:20.500
The game pursues the
ultimate in realism, so yeah.
20:20.500 --> 20:24.420
If you don't have martial arts
experience or a crafty mind,
20:24.420 --> 20:28.300
you can't even get out of this town.
20:28.300 --> 20:30.760
But then no one could win the--
20:30.760 --> 20:33.100
Someone did win.
20:33.100 --> 20:38.110
Someone fully cleared
this crazy-hard game.
20:38.110 --> 20:44.070
I only saw him once, but even as
forgetful as I am, I could never forget.
20:44.070 --> 20:47.860
He was sharp, and he was also strong.
20:47.860 --> 20:54.330
He looked kinda like a normal student,
but he had an aura about him.
20:54.330 --> 21:00.630
Apparently he got out of Ted in
no time and easily cleared the game.
21:00.630 --> 21:02.460
His name was Kamui.
21:02.460 --> 21:09.680
His title was "The Eternally Invincible:
The Never-Bested Adventurer."
21:09.680 --> 21:11.510
S-So cool!
21:11.510 --> 21:14.310
Nothing like "Best Friend Killer!"
21:14.310 --> 21:17.980
Mine's just "Not Human: Heartless."
21:17.980 --> 21:21.060
Even though I've lived a pretty
normal life these last 45 years.
21:21.060 --> 21:24.070
Though I did skip out on
my convenience store job.
21:24.070 --> 21:27.200
Yeah, that's kinda heartless.
21:27.200 --> 21:30.570
So now what do I do?
21:30.570 --> 21:32.660
Want me to help you?
21:32.660 --> 21:36.000
What? Are you saying you'll join my party?
21:36.000 --> 21:38.170
I'm too old for that now.
21:38.170 --> 21:41.880
Like I could do kid stuff
like games. Don't be silly.
21:41.880 --> 21:44.710
We're in a game right now!
21:46.210 --> 21:47.590
Besides, I have gout.
21:47.590 --> 21:49.930
And my body doesn't
move the way it used to.
21:49.930 --> 21:53.850
Oh. Then what help--
21:53.850 --> 21:56.850
Well, this kind of help.
21:59.480 --> 22:04.520
Hey! The killer is right here!
22:04.520 --> 22:09.150
Call the City Guard!
22:09.150 --> 22:11.910
Th-This asshole!
22:11.910 --> 22:15.120
He really is heartless!
23:46.040 --> 23:49.460
Episode 3: Adult Event Time.
