Episode 38 The Truth of K
I heard their cakes are excellent!
Really? I wanna try their berry tart!
Things are developing rather quickly...
I still can't remember anything. But I know that we were friends.
That's what my gut says.
That's how I felt, too.
From the start!
We were definitely friends.
We were friends long before
I moved back to Kaminohara, right?
-Yeah. -Yup.
That's right, that's right.
Only Minami's not taking this seriously.
We were probably friends,
ever since I first lived in Kaminohara for elementary school.
But my memories from then...
I can't remember them.
-Me neither. -Same.
Can't remember, nope, can't remember!
You really aren't taking this seriously.
That means your memories are still incomplete.
Then, how about you?
Akira went to a different elementary school.
Oooooooh.
But wow, that was a surprise.
That "K" guy is your father, right Haruma?
Take this seriously!
How improper!
Surprise, surprise!
-Surprise! -S-Stopy!
I always wondered...
why K, the MS Grand Prix champion
sent Doom to attack us.
The monster sightings around town
and the recent disturbances...
They must be related.
Yeah, you're right.
The monster sightings around town,
the appearance of Doom...
Everything's caused by my father.
Genma Kagutsuchi,
who opened the monster gates.
Your father opened the monster gates?
I'm sure you already know,
but MS is not just a typical game.
Huh? Oh, let's go.
Usually MS is played
in a 4D AR playing field
and in a controlled environment.
I'm sure this led people to believe
that monsters only existed virtually.
But that's not true.
The monsters are real.
Beyond the monster gate,
a world of monsters exists.
A world of monsters?!
That surprises you, Oragon?
But why would he open the gate?
Because my father and I were searching for a particular monster.
This monster's not worth my time.
We spread MS with junior high students.
all to increase our chance of finding that monster.
The plan was to snatch it away from whoever obtained it.
Why are you so desperate to find this monster?
In order to save my mother.
Your mother?
My mother has been in a coma for several years now.
Shibuya Mediacal Center
There is nothing wrong with her brain,
but she shows no signs of waking up.
We've tried several treatments at the hospital,
and researched a variety of ways to save her.
But we're barely keeping her alive.
To Yuri
That's why my father is determined to save my mother, but with his way.
Of course, I agreed.
That's when she...
Memento Mori appeared.
She told us of a monster with miraculous healing powers,
one who could save my mother.
And she even became Mother...
Before we knew it,
both my father and I were deceived.
She even manipulated
our memories to make us think that,
Ren, you were the one who put my mother in a coma.
Forgive me.
Then...
why is your mother in a coma?
I don't know.
Your father...
I wonder if he came back to his senses like you did, Haruma.
No.
My father must be still trying
to open monster gates.
The biggest monster gate ever...
The plan's been thought out.
A plan to connect this world and the other
with a colossal monster gate,
all to summon the monster who can cure my mother.
The monster with miraculous healing powers...
I'll find you no matter what!
A colossal monster gate?
If something like that opened,
It would be a disaster.
If it connected this world with the other,
it could end up destroying this one!
You seem to mow a lot about that.
