Episode 17 Pieces of Memories
-Hey. -Wait a minute!
Who's there?!
Let's scram!
Look!
The field's been completely destroyed.
-No retreat! -C'mon, we've gotta leave.
-For real? -This way.
This is bad. Ren, really bad.
-Who are you? -We should stay here for a bit.
With the Coliseum in that shape, it'll definitely cause a stir.
Doom damaged the real world, exceeding the limits of 4D augmented reality.
Anyways, Ren,
who was that girl to you?
-Huh? -That girl?
Don't play dumb!
I'm talking about Doom!
-Huh? -You said you knew her.
I know him.
I guess I did say that,
but I have no idea why I did.
That's awful.
It's your problem, too!
Oragon, you know her too, right?
So you've been here, Oraternative Dragon.
Ora...
Oraternative?
He doesn't know either...
-Really? -Hey, let's go.
Phew, we've managed to escape.
That opened my eyes.
What did?
We can't risk another of those rampages.
Let's uninstall MS.
That's the one thing you can't do!
But, why?
I'm risking my life here and barely escaped the police!
You still can't!
The main character without MS on his smartphone? Unbelievable!
All right, all right. I get it!
Today's battle was definitely a close call. But this was also a first.
Chilled
Right, it wasn't this kind of game in the first place.
In the first place?
How did you guys get involved with MS anyways?
Minami and I,
We installed it after it was suggested by our former leader, Haruma.
Yeah, that's right.
Huh?
What's the matter?
There's a nagging feeling, like I'd been playing MS long before that.
-You might be right. -See?
But I can't remember anything before that!
Maybe the truth lies in the
depths of our memories.
Just as K said.
The answers lie in your past.
Or perhaps it's better to say, in all your memories?
So it's not just Ren, but the rest of us also had our memories erased?
Doom told us,
that they're the ones who erased our memories.
What does it all mean?
Morning.
Ugh!
Good morning.
Are you stupid? Why don't you sit there?
An accident occurred at a shopping mall in Kaminohara,
Grace Mall Kaminohara.
After being alerted by a call reporting the sound of an explosion,
police arrived at the scene
to find a section of the shopping mall destroyed.
The police suspect a gas leak.
An in-depth investigation is being conducted to pinpoint the cause.
Scary that it's so nearby.
But it's not a gas leak at all.
So I've been giving it some thought,
but I always come to the same conclusion about the key to our memories.
MS.
Right?
Can you guys text Haruma and ask?
He's the one who suggested MS,
so he might know something.
We haven't been able to get in touch with Haruma.
He never replies no matter what we send.
No response.
As if we're talking to a corpse.
If that's the case...
Maybe the guy at the store knows about MS.
Area Temporarily Closed We apologize for the inconvenience.
Excuse me,
I had my smartphone fixed here.
At that time, did you happen
to install the game, Monster Strike?
I'm not sure.
The person who was here before quit.
Ren's plan totally failed!
We're no closer to the truth.
Looks like there's only one option left.
Find Haruma and ask him directly
about our memories and MS.
It's true that Haruma might have the answers.
But how can we find him when we don't even know where he is?
Stay positive and it'll lead you to great things!
Taiyo Shirahama?
Haruma's place?
You bet I know where it is.
Really?
Haruma's currently at...
Shibuya.
JR Shibuya Station
K said that the answer lies
within all of our memories, not just mine.
Aoi.
Minami.
And Akira.
What's hidden in our memories?
We're inching toward the truth.
All we need to do is ask Haruma.
