01x15 - Putting Feelings Into a Moment, Part 1

[bunniefuu]

(All Emotions in the Moment (Part 1))

Thank you for coming!

Eh? Sold out?!

They sold out in here, too?

They don't have it in Fourfossier

or Sixenveldt, either.

How can something that expensive

get sold out this hard?

What's going on?

I don't know,

but our leader told us

to stock up on resurrection items.

Let's look for them in another town.

Say, our leader is in a meeting

with leaders from other clans, right?

Are they planning to team up

to fight something?

And it's against something you'd

need resurrection items to fight with.

But what could that be?

I don't know.

Today, when many players are excited

about the new major update,

something is making their move

under the shadows.

Hey, Reiji-kun. What changed

with the major update, anyway?

New areas are unlocked,

as well as new scenarios and a job.

Then some balance updates

on monsters.

They also changed some mechanics,

like the Luck requirement

to activate "Guts."

Are there new weapons?

Oh, yeah, I think so.

I'd like something bigger

and stronger.

Wanna check out weapon shops after this?

Yeah!

If you'd like, maybe we can go check out

what changed after the update.

Together.

A monster!

M-Mia! There are no monsters in towns!

Eh? But I heard a weird voice!

Anyway, lower your weapon!

I swear that was from a monster!

Meanwhile, there is also someone

getting excited in a different way.

(Send Mailbird from Psyger-0 to Sunraku?)

You can do it, Rei Saiga!

Now's the best time to invite him

to go check out the update!

I must invite him quickly

while he's still logged in!

(Send Mailbird from Psyger-0 to Sunraku?)

(Send Mailbird from Psyger-0 to Sunraku?)

Aaaah! I really sent it!

It's okay, it's okay!

I spent two weeks writing that letter!

Not too formal, not too casual,

just the right balance.

There should be no typos, too!

It's okay! It's okay!

It's okay! It's okay!

Huh? Back so soon?

Did he log out?

From my sister?

The location of Ashura Kai's base

was leaked.

It's still being verified,

but I want you to warp up your personal

business and meet up with the clan.

(Rabbit)

Sunraku-san.

What is it, Granny?

Don't call me "granny"!

It's finally time.

Yeah, it's time!

I have something for you.

Hm?

I'll lend you this

What?! A bird?!

Is it another Toxic bird?!

Shoo! Shoo! Go away!

I'm the only one allowed

to ride on Sunraku-san!

I'm not your perch!

A Mailbird?

Oh, it's SLF's in-game mail feature.

Never used it before.

From Psyger-0?!

Dear Sunraku,

I hope this letter finds you well

in the midst of this

sweltering midsummer day.

My sincerest apologies

for the sudden notice.

I figured it would inconvenience you

if I simply went up to you,

so I decided to send a letter instead.

If you would like, I wish to examine

the new updates in person with you.

What do you think?

So formal!

I thought this was a duel request!

But I'm kind of busy today

It's a shame, but I'll have

to turn this down

It comes to hound us again!

You're not having Sunraku-san!

He's mine!

Stop it, you can't take on a raptor.

Though, you do count rabbits

and birds the same way,

so I guess you two are alike?

You jerk!

H-Hey! Stop it! It really hurts!

Hmph!

A letter from Psyger-0 again?

My sincerest apologies,

but after I sent you my last invitation,

I had some urgent business to attend to,

so it'd be difficult to be with you today.

Well, guess I'll write back

"No biggie" in response.

Thanks!

All right! Cheer up, Emul!

Let's head off to Thirdrema!

Time for my final prep!

Got a new moon comin' tonight, eh?

Yo.

Dad I mean, Boss!

Vash Aniki, you were there?!

Oh, just walked in a bit ago.

Yer goin' tonight, ain't ya?

Yes, Aniki!

It's the big night!

Ya got a nice look on yer face.

Give that death defiler

his much-deserved sleep

for me, will ya?

I will.

Don't forget 'bout yer Vorpal Soul.

You got it!

Sunraku-san, Sunraku-san.

Hm?

I'm not joining you tonight.

Yeah.

So since you're going to take on

Wethermon the Tombguard,

I'll lend you this.

A necklace?

Dad

Boss brought it in as a souvenir,

and I had it made into a necklace.

It's my own lucky charm.

Oh, it is?

Well, even without this,

we'll beat him anyway.

But if I have this charm with me,

it'd be one hell of a beating.

Thanks, Emul.

Now our victory is really in the bag.

I'll put them on you!

(ID Shard Necklace

Equipped)

I'll be waiting for your early return.

You got it!

ID Shard Necklace. No effects.

It is a remain, a remnant,

a splinter, and a fragment.

Nobody knows who it identifies for

nor where it was used.

However, at one time,

it was certainly a proof

of somebody's existence.

(Due to an important matter

until tomorow morning, Do not enter!)

Well then, time to go.

Now, let's begin.

(Ashura Kai's Hideout)

She's late!

Pencilgon-san said she'll be

over here right away.

Tch, forget it!

We'll go to the Hidden Garden without her

An ambush?!

Attack Master?!

Is it Schwarz Vulf?!

Tonight, Ashura Kai

will meet their ultimate end here.

Time to pay for your heinous crimes!

Orcelott-san!

It's not just Schwarz Vulf!

Team 10pm, the Tigers of Indra,

and the Knights Tempura!

They're all teaming up to crush us?!

Dammit! What's going on?!

You all

You fiends, I shall make you sing

a requiem for all the players you k*lled!

In your grave!

Run! Retreat to the Hidden Garden!

How did they find out

about this hidden area?!

Where did the information leak from?!

Tadaa! Behold, my dazzling new armor!

My vitality zoomed up from 7 to 22!

Congratulation. You went from

being a tissue to a wet cardboard.

Hey, there's no telling what'll run into!

Don't want any regrets.

But man, that energy drink

you recommended!

It's crazy! It makes Energy Kaizer

seem like sugar water!

Oh, the new Riot Blood flavor?

I tried it after my American friend

touting it up hard to me.

I wouldn't want to have it

on a regular, though.

Oh, right. We found a new

bug move in BERP!

A cool one!

Really?! You better teach me that later!

Oh?

How was it?

It was so easy,

it's almost disappointing.

Somehow the Attack Master,

Psyger-0, was super into it.

Maybe due to some personal grudge

against them or something.

I guess everyone does.

My sincerest apologies,

I had some urgent business to attend to.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Won't they be out to get you

if they find out you're behind it?

I'll just k*ll 'em back.

True that!

Now then

Let's do a final rundown of our plan.

I have some items

I need to give you guys, too.

First

How did they find our hideout?!

Not many people know

about that hidden area!

Is there a spy among us?!

A spy?

No, that can't be

O-Orcelott-san!

The entrance to the Hidden Garden

Somebody is already inside!

She She did it.

That wench freaking did it!

She sold us out!

Aneki, you g*dd*mn traitor!

What's wrong?

I thought I heard some loser screaming.

Must be just me.

Well, that should be the gist of it.

Do you have any questions?

Nope.

All that's left is to do it!

Come to think of it,

she's not around today, huh?

She said it needs to be

during a full moon.

Otherwise, we can't see her.

It's almost time.

I won't let your memories

be a sad one.

My friend

No

Setsuna.

You told me your wish,

so I will

No, we will make it come true!

Now then, let's go meet him up.

Into the gap between moments

spills a single wish

That must be him.

No doubt.

Encountered Wethermon the Tombguard.

Sunraku-kun.

Got it.

Wethermon the Tombguard.

Let us

Wind Slash!

(Wind Slash)

fight!

Skill,

Infight!

I'm gonna test some stuff out on you!

Robot Warrior!

That was close!

A simple upward, but it's so fast!

Wind Slash!

My head!

You b*stard!

Parrying Protect!

I can see it coming, dumbass!

He really saw through his attacks

on the first try.

Wind Slash. A god-speed strike

that's likely only go by one frame.

Well, that's quite the speed.

It has a guard-piercing effect,

so you need to spot the tell

and either dodge or deflect it.

You hear? She wants you

to do that on your first try.

Sheesh, it sure is easy to ask.

He's got crazier attacks up his sleeves,

so get ready.

So he beats us by 150 levels

and has tons of one-hits?

Definitely not the type

you can fight normally.

Which means

Yes.

Just a guess, but I'm pretty sure

he's a "special condition" type.

Special condition type.

Instead of winning by reducing

the enemy's HP to zero,

you win by fulfilling certain conditions.

Things I can think of are "obtaining

or breaking a certain object,"

"surviving for a certain amount of time,"

"surviving a certain attack."

Or for the rarer type, there's also

"via persuasion in battle."

Do we have any clues?

After testing a few things out,

it is likely time-based type.

So we'll base our strategy

around that assumption.

As time passes, Wethermon the Tombguard

goes through assorted battle phases.

To start things off,

for his first phase

survive for ten minutes.

And Sunraku-kun,

you're going to be the key to that!

As you have skills

on par with pro gamers

you should be able

to figure out his attacks!

After performing Wind Slash,

he swings down from the right hand,

then horizontally with both.

From there, either a delayed thrust

or an upward slash.

Yes. With these two

I can bet everything

I have on this battle!

I see!

That's sure some nice armor you got!

Be it up or down, he doesn't budge

no matter where I hit him!

On top of that,

all of his attacks can one-shot me!

Yeah, it's just like what I was warned!

Hehe, just like I was told

This guy's

Wind Slash!

not the kind of guy you could defeat!

- Katzo-kun!

- On it!

(Rebirth Tearjewel)

Here you go!

SLF Theater!

(#20 The Famous Towa Amane is a Gamer?)

Mini!

(#20 The Famous Towa Amane is a Gamer?)

Excuse me!

Yes?

Are you also a fan of Towa Amane?

Your avatar looks just like her!

You think so? Thanks.

But mine looks more like her!

See? Mine is prettier!

Much more than yours!

No, no, mine resemble her more!

Mine is more beautiful than the real one!

Who I am but not Towa-chan herself?

My name is Towa!

Believe me! I'm the real one!

No, it is I! I am Towa-chan!

Ah, Towa Amane!

Don't use my face without permission.
