01x03 - Help Me

[bunniefuu]

Boys are really stronger!

I can't even keep track

of how many times I've died.

Is that?

It's a log dot.

Can we watch it?

We finally defeated it.

Sorry, I didn't do anything.

Don't be. It's okay.

It's great that the second player

is our acquaintance.

Now, this is already

Wait! Stop watching it!

Shindo.

Sorry, can I stay like this for a while?

Sure.

I'M STANDING ON A MILLION LIVES

The strange routine in front of me

Stepping out of common sense

Cutting off the comforting link

to look for the true light

My back is against the wall,

I can't give in

(Be tough, don't cry, keep going)

The reality is a matter of life or death

The enthusiasm within my heart

(surviving in despair)

Entering the spiritual world

(fearless, striving)

We were born with loneliness

Walk side by side,

and be vulnerable no more

Even in the face of life's uncertainty

The fire of life will never die

With courage in my hand, I stand strong

Fight for tomorrow

-LET'S WAIT YOTSUYA IS OFF DUTY.

-UNDERSTOOD

WHAT IS IT?

WE CHATTED ON THE WAY HOME.

Anyway, if we get more people to survive

in that world,

it will do us all some good.

I think it suits me well.

Really?

He really said that? How interesting!

Iu, what is it?

By the way, Hoshi,

you and Yotsuya who isn't in any club,

went to the same primary school?

We did, but he only transferred to

our school in the winter of the sixth grade.

What do you think about him?

I don't remember much about him.

He barely talked.

Why?

I had a chance to speak with him.

I'm just wondering

what kind of person he is.

THAT'S INTERESTING.

I WONDER IF HE HAD SOME KIND OF TRAUMA.

I've never met anyone like him.

He's like an unknown organism.

Damn it.

I wish I were in the woods.

It's so loud running on concrete pavement.

If that's the final goal for us,

let's say we'll have to fight

to protect this city,

why does it have to be me?

Why was I chosen

when I hate this city more than anyone?

What?

INCOMING CALL, GAME MASTER

Yotsuya Yusuke, it's been half a day.

Good evening.

Game master?

What's wrong with your voice?

Also, how did you make this call?

No,

this should be a piece of cake for you.

Here's a quest for you.

Pick up a girl I've designated.

What?

I came here as you instructed.

The outcome is directly related

to the success rate of the next quest.

I've never been to this high school!

Trespassing like this

Go to the second floor.

Second floor?

The light is on.

LADIES' ROOM

I have to pick up a girl

in the ladies' room at this hour?

What the heck is going on?

Which one?

The one in the middle, with glasses.

Right, it can't be those next to her.

Can you see me from there?

Call me back when it's done!

Well, excuse me.

What? Who are you?

Well, how should I put it?

Seriously

Picking up a girl for the first time?

This is witnessing school bullying.

This is the ladies' room, get out!

Oh no!

No, instead of taking my photo,

they take photos of her naked,

the worst case scenario

is that she might k*ll herself.

That means I fail the quest.

In other words,

the success rate of the next quest

The death rate will go up.

Hey! Give it back to me!

Why? Why did you break the phone?

Because I don't know

where you store the pictures.

This should boost my success rate.

Who are you?

Why?

Hold on

They might have already taken her photos.

Wait! I have nothing to do with this!

I didn't film anything!

You'll know if you take a look!

It might be in a hidden folder!

He's so scary. That's gross.

What the heck is wrong with this guy?

Good job! I'm so cool.

I might even have

my first ever girlfriend!

Only one left.

Where is it?

Is it over there?

This is ridiculous!

Awesome!

In this way, the success rate will go up!

Hey you!

Ouch!

Well, I think I'm stronger than you all.

Do you want to keep this up?

What's next?

I've never been in a fight with girls.

Gross!

The worst ever!

Damn it, what's wrong with this dude?

Let's call the police!

What? Call the police?

PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING

OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER, THANK YOU.

Well, I just passed by and saved you.

About that

LADIES' ROOM

How can you be here by coincidence

if this is a ladies' room?

No. Thank you very much.

What do I do?

Now I have to be alone with this person.

He's even following me.

Can't you just go home?

Great, I'm a perfect bodyguard.

Boys must walk on the side of the cars.

Well, just asking,

were you being bullied?

I say, schools in the city are awful.

No, it wasn't bullying.

They were seeking a revenge.

I and the girl who took pictures,

we were playing Miko streaming.

Oh, the Mikkou animation.

Exactly. I accidentally let slip

during the streaming

that I know a girl who only acts cute

when speaking with boys.

She thought I was talking about her.

But anyway, I was talking about her.

You actually did b*tch about her.

But I didn't mention any names.

Oh so, that's what happened.

What do I do with a crying girl?

Can I hug her?

But I'm not the boyfriend.

Would I get arrested?

The game master didn't call me back.

Did I clear the stage?

I'm all right now.

I see.

I should walk her home.

Well, see you.

Go home then.

Hey.

What?

There's a simulation game called One Star

that grooms male idols.

It's very popular among us.

Oh?

The protagonist is a female producer.

The game is to establish relationships

with various men and work as a producer.

Oh?

If you can imitate the behavior

of cute guys in the game,

you'll become more popular, Yotsuya.

She's not my type. She's an Otaku.

I'm not doing this for you.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I've wasted two weeks on this.

I'm hungry.

It's the next stage?

Great to see you.

Good evening.

What? What's this?

She really is the fourth player.

I mean

Listen.

What is she hiding from?

Nice to meet you. Morning.

MAGICIAN: A MAGICAL BUG AMBER IS

EMBEDDED IN THE WEAPON,

WHEN USING MAGIC,

THE CORRESPONDING MP IS CONSUMED

THE MP SLOT FITS ALL MAGIC, SLOTS VARY

FROM ATTRIBUTE TO ATTRIBUTE

ONE MAY DETERMINE THE POWER OF THE MAGIC

WITHIN THE AVAILABLE RANGE

The fourth player,

Tokitate Yuka's occupation is

Magician (heat).

Magic.

TOKITATE YUKA, MAGICIAN (HEAT) LEVEL 1

ABLE TO USE HEAT MAGIC

Magic.

For now on, the revival time is extended

from 30 seconds to 40 seconds.

It's harder now.

Here's your quest.

QUEST: EXPLORE FIVE PERCENT OF THE MAP

BRING THE CARGO TO RADORPO

What's the cargo?

See you.

That creep stays the same.

Hello.

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

What do you want from me?

That wasn't a coincidence either.

You were stalking me?

You creepy stalker!

Pervert!

Stalker!

No! No

Anyway, calm down.

Please hear us out.

Destroying high school girls' smart phones

And flushing the fragments

down the toilet.

After that incident,

I talked with the other girls

and we thought he was a pervert

who was there to install spy cameras.

No, there's a reason for that.

Let's go.

Yes.

Let's start with exploring

five percent of the map.

It'll be faster if we split up.

Okay. We can each see our own map data.

Understood?

Sort of.

By the way,

you don't have to be so polite with me.

Aren't you actually one year older,

Yuka?

No, you're a senior in this world, Shindo.

Just call me Iu.

Let's go. I'll stay with you

before you get used to this place.

She's so cool.

Shindo is "Magic Purple."

A mysterious power that leads to hope,

Magician Purple.

Tall, fit, and good looking.

She's the first player

who has survived till now.

About what Yotsuya did

You said you spoke to those three girls.

Weren't you bullied by them?

Well, about that

You made up with the three girls

who wanted to take naked photos of you.

Why?

Well, Iu,

you might find it hard to understand.

I've always been cautious

not to give anyone a reason to bully me.

But, I did give them a reason to attack me.

That's why I made Yotsuya our mutual enemy

so I can make up with those girls.

I thought I won't see him again anyway.

She will dislike me now.

After all, you need to get along

with your classmates.

Yes Right?

There's nothing else I can do.

By the way,

why did you say I won't understand?

It's because I don't think

you would be a victim of bullying.

You got half of it right.

I've made an effort as well.

Cosmetics, studying, sports.

I want to live my student life

to the fullest.

But, it could also be that

I'm quite nosy.

Bullying is so boring.

I always intervene when I come across it.

I'll keep doing so.

Don't you get frightened?

Who would dare lay a finger on me?

That's not what I mean.

What if you lose friends?

People like them aren't real friends.

That's so cool.

In comparison, I'm so narrow-minded.

What's wrong?

Please marry me!

What?

We didn't get very far.

It's only the first day.

You're right.

I have a feeling that they're ignoring me.

Yotsuya! Watch out!

Giant insect corpse?

Wait, listen!

A centipede. Gross!

A ball?

It's a pill-bug!

It's too powerful!

With a cook's skills, I should know

its name and threatening level.

Demon bug Kadumured.

Combining all parameters,

its threatening level is D-.

So the pill-bugs are male

and centipedes are female?

Leave this to me!

Although I'm not sure what's going on,

this is my era!

Finally! Although I never thought

this could ever happen.

Magician Pink!

Magician Purple!

We're the magicians!

Since kindergarten, it's always been

my dream to become a magician.

Flame of the Red Lotus!

The kindergarten mini me,

can you see me now?

Your dream has come true!

Burn with the Flame of the Red Lotus!

Magical fire!

TOKITATE YUKA, MAGIC POWER FULLY CONSUMED

INCREASED AIR TEMPERATURE AT 10CM RADIUS

AROUND THE TIP OF THE WAND BY 20℃

So warm.

Dead!

That's level one magic?

By the way, why am I the creep now

when I actually saved her?

By the way,

she seemed to have taught me

how to become popular.

Does that mean

I'm too lame?

That's embarrassing.

I was so brave in protecting her!

Why didn't I become cooler?

Darn it!

I got it!

I might actually be unpopular.

Shindo said

that she likes one of the Yotsuya.

I'll observe for now.

For a month or two,

or maybe three.

That's ridiculous.

This guy is so strong.

This dude is like Mr. Tatsuoni.

Isn't this Gap-Moe?

Please step back.

Wind magic won't work on it.

Got it.

Is it poisonous? Does it have stingers?

It's okay. There aren't such organs inside.

If so

This is the blind spot!

Great! Now, chop off the legs.

I'm all worn out.

How do we defeat this?

There's something I'd like to try.

Hakozaki.

What?

I want to see if I can lift the sword

using your hands.

What does that mean?

Here.

In this world, we're only allowed to

pick up our own weapons.

Indeed, if it's Kusue

who's holding the weapon

See! I can hold it now.

I'll count to three before we hack at it.

Three

A bit to that side.

Two, one!

HAKOZAKI KUSUE LEVEL FIVE TO SIX

YOTSUYA YUSUKE LEVEL FICE TO SEVEN

What happened?

Iu hit me!

What's wrong with that kid?

It's the kid from the Shindo family.

Right, that family

What happened?

Did you get into a fight?

He's always bugging me so I made him cry.

How can you do that? You're a girl.

You won't make any friends

if you're too fierce.

I don't need friends.

Why don't you be my friend?

My name is Sayuri, and you?

Iu.

Sayuri, today, I

Sayuri.

Sayuri, Sayuri.

Poor Sayuri.

She's a nice girl, apart from that face.

You're right.

It was all because she was ugly.

Stop it.

It's wonderful that Iu is so beautiful!

You're spoiling her, she's only five years old.

It was all because she was ugly.

It was all because of that.

Did I wake you up?

I tried my best to stay quiet.

What are you doing?

Working out. I grew fond of it lately.

What? Shindo seems to be unlike herself.

Right, it was the same back then.

She's a queen in the school.

It's impossible to picture her crying.

By the way, you cried back then.

I saw that in one of the previous records

in the log dot.

Why are you bringing that up?

It just came to my mind.

You seem as if you don't pay

anyone any attention, but you do.

Do I?

Yotsuya, help me!

GAME MASTER

Please reach ten times the number

of viewers in the next streaming.

Hello everyone, this is Yukario.

Number of viewing: 20.

It's not even close.

Let me do it.

No

Ten times. I don't think I can make it.

I said that I can help.

After all, Iu is a model.

If someone as pretty as Iu shows up,

people are going to compare us.

I will have to strip.

Calm down!

I have an idea!
