"When the Twilight Eye doth open...
...so too shall the path to me.
Discourse with me...
...and against that power fight.
When the Key which overturns all is possessed...
...everything shall unfold."
The Key of the Twilight.
There are two pieces of information that are missing.
When and where the eye will open.
Or where and how.
I see.
Who is "me"? That concerns me as well.
But that aside, what is this "power" that is to be fought against?
I want to know that.
Do you think that Tsukasa exists outside the system due to that power?
Yes.
Maybe I just want to believe it but...
What's wrong with you?
I told you what I said about Tsukasa remains here.
You should share information, don't you think?
I don't think Tsukasa's privacy is something to be shared.
Bear, then you shouldn't have shared it with me either.
I see. I guess I was mistaken then.
I thought I could share a secret with you.
Has there ever been a time when a story that begins with...
..."don't tell anyone" stayed a secret?
Don't look that way. Both Crim and Subaru are adults.
This tale will end here.
Mimiru won't hear about it.
I understand. It's fine.
Actually, we decided to search for the Key of the Twilight as well.
But I don't think of it as a legendary item.
If it's not an item, what is it?
I don't know. Information or some kind of flag...
Anyway, I'm hoping that it will be the key to return Tsukasa to reality.
So, for those reasons, I'm doing it.
I hope you do well with Crim.
We're rivals then.
Depending on the circumstances.
That's a problem.
A little problem will keep it more interesting.
Mr. Bear doesn't understand anything.
What?
You actually came. Such a good girl.
Ignoring you makes things worse, so I came.
Oh come on, I'm not that bad. I'm simple.
I didn't come here to chit-chat.
Mimiru's so short tempered.
I have a message from Helba.
Oh? You're Helba's lackey now?
Think before you talk, girl.
It seemed interesting, so I'm tagging along.
If you use that kind of language to me, you'll regret it.
But what you're doing is the same.
You really changed your style.
Is it boring?
Yeah...
Message: With the three words that leads to the Legendary Land and...
...Tsukasa's power, you can go to that place without waiting for...
...the Twilight Eye to open... she says.
I don't get it...
Think about it. Well, I told you.
Tsukasa's got problems too.
What?
Huh? You haven't heard? About the real Tsukasa that can't log out?
What... are you saying?
Do you want to know?
Why did you lie to me?
I didn't want to worry you.
You can't trust me? Do you think I'm that much of a kid?
Sorry.
Don't apologize!
Sorry.
That's why you wanted to search for the Key of the Twilight...
...all of a sudden.
The situation isn't good...
...so I thought I have to do something.
So, do you think Tsukasa can return to reality?
To be honest, I don't know.
But the fact that both the Key of the Twilight and Tsukasa...
...surpass the system must be related.
There must be something there.
Both BT and Subaru agree with me on this point.
All right. Then I'll help as well. Let's go look for it together.
It's the same...
You can't leave here. I can't leave here.
That ludicrous world and this place, it's the same.
No.
Because! She doesn't... ever wake up!
So, the Key of the Twilight does not exist.
That's the conclusion.
Subaru doesn't think so.
You're joking!
It might exist. That's her stance.
I don't think I have to explain, but in this game...
...various fields are created by combing three words.
I know what you want to say.
But even if you try all of the combinations...
...it doesn't mean that we will reach the right answer.
No, it's probably futile.
Are you saying that the eye won't open at a regular field?
There is something missing. A condition to open the eye.
That's a pretty vague story.
Since its release in 2007, "The World" has been upgraded almost every year.
From what I've heard...
...there was also a prototype before this game was released...
The prototype to the consumer product and the constant upgrades...
Don't you think there are things that are lost in that process...
...or fragments that remained and are forgotten.
I'm sure... there are.
The message on the Board that started the search...
...for the Key of the Twilight was posted about a year ago.
"The World" back then and "The World" now are similar, but different.
It's a different version...
Things that are deleted, added...
...if we do not make those clear, we will become lost.
All right then.
You think about it! I'm not good at this!
Then the real Tsukasa is a girl?
That's what I think.
There's too much stuff we don't know.
At least we know that we don't know.
The question is the "Legendary Land"...
Tsukasa moves between servers and fields without using the Chaos Gates.
Tsukasa's power...
If we know the three words, we can go there...
Probably...
Anyways, it depends on Tsukasa.
What you were saying the other day...
...about the Key of the Twilight.
Yes?
I want to look for it, too.
But promise me one thing.
What is it?
If we find it, can I use it?
Of course.
Do you promise?
I promise.
Tsukasa, are you going to log out with it?
No.
Then what?
I want to open her eyes.
Who? Whose eyes?
The girl... who's always sleeping.
Are you talking about yourself?
I'm a guy.
Anyway, Tsukasa has found a goal for the first time.
Let's go look for it together.
I think I might've got it.
Where the eye opens.
The prototype to the consumer product and the several upgrades...
The information that was lost during that time...
That's when I remembered.
Are you sure it's not just your imagination?
I need to confirm it.
But what if I'm correct? What am I supposed to do?
Search for the Key of the Twilight...
Should I continue?
Are you going with her? BT?
That's what I promised.
I'm sure BT will realize it sooner or later.
It was so simple in the past.
I think The World was much easier to understand as well.
Am I showing my age?
The world hasn't changed but you might have become more complicated.
Complicated? I'm very simple minded!
Subaru, do you want the Key of the Twilight?
Yes.
You...
I've changed my mind.
All right!
I'll give it to you as a gift! Just wait!
Lady Subaru is not here.
She said she was going to look at other servers and left.
Oh, all right. We'll come back later.
What do you want?
How long has it been since you started this game?
Fairly long.
Do you know about the Legendary Land?
Yes, I do.
There are three places that I know of that are called the Legendary Lands.
It's not one place?
In this world...
...there was a great battle between an unknown force and the Sprites.
That's the background story.
The Legendary Lands are the remnants of that.
What are the words to go there?
It's useless. Even if you know, the path there is blocked.
What are you planning on doing?
Nothing that will go against the system.
Actually, we want to resolve this abnormal situation.
Please, if you do know, tell me.
I don't know the words myself.
I'll research it on the outside.
OK. E-mail me.
What're you going to do, Tsukasa?
I don't want to go back.
Just for a bit, stay. If you can't, it's all right.
Then let's go to our usual place.
OK.
Why are you so quiet? Are you bored?
No, no. I was just thinking...
About what?
There're lots of things I want to ask you...
...but how and what should I talk about... so, I was thinking, but...
...it's OK for now.
Do you think I won't answer if you asked?
When you feel like talking, you'll talk to me without being asked.
I...
It's all right. It doesn't have to be now.
I think I was able to determine the place.
That's amazing.
If it is where I'm thinking...
...I'll be able to talk to the one who sent the message tomorrow.
He better be there.
I'll give you the details by mail. Be there early and standby.
It's gonna be difficult to work out the time but... I'll be there.
Are you busy?
Actually, yes.
Tomorrow then.
Tomorrow. Bye-bye.
I came like you asked. Who called me at this hour? Show yourself.
You're not a normal character.
There is no skill in this game that lets you warp into a dungeon.
I see. You are...
In the early version of "The World"...
...the system to combine three words to create a field did not exist.
Apparently so.
You knew?
In the beginning, it was just a combination of letters.
A word with meaning, or a person's name, or jumbled nonsense...
You were playing this game that early on?
I told you that I hadn't...
...touched this game when you were still in the Knights.
How about you?
Only for a brief moment. The version changed as soon as I started.
I didn't buy the wrong software.
I just decided to go along with the upgrade campaign.
That's not the point.
The reason why they changed from the alphabet code to three words is...
Crim, you knew about it?
That's right!
The forgotten information.
The remains of information. So...
You are a cruel man.
My grandfather always told me to think it through if you aren't confident.
That's why I kept my mouth shut.
But you think it's here as well.
Yes. The parts of that message that isn't deciphered.
"Stop," "Water," "Navel."
If that information is correct, then it's here.
It's because...
This place formed from three words, "Hidden" "Forbidden" "Holy Ground"...
...was once reached by the codes, "Navel of Lake."
An area of raised land in the middle of a lake.
Why did that person tell us the sealed words?
It was an exchange.
What? Isn't that suspicious?
I guess, since the other side hasn't shown its hand.
Aren't we going to get in trouble later?
"Reveal all that was said and heard there."
That was the only condition posted by her.
Then she should go herself.
You need Tsukasa's power to go there.
I see. We're waiting for Tsukasa again.
You contacted him before you came here, right?
Yeah.
He said he'll come right now.
Why?
I...
I'm... going.
BT, I understand that much, but now what?
Where is the Twilight Eye?
Even you think that there is nothing here.
So, it's easy to overlook...
A blind spot.
Is it that simple?
It finds hidden objects in the field and reveals them. It's a basic of the game.
Fairy's Orb.
I don't even need that. I am a Wavemaster.
It's starting, it's starting...
The "Twilight Eye" is opening.
eien sagasu kimi wa utsurigi na yume mibito
Searching for eternity, you are a frivolous dreamer
uwaki na yume ni sugari anata wa doko e yuku
Holding fast to unreliable dreams, where are you going?
Tasogare hiraku kagi wo sagashite tsuki no kage
Searching for the key to open twilight,
todokanai mama naita watashi wa doko e yuku
With the moon's shadow out of reach, I cry. Where am I going?
Futari hitomi ni himitsu nakushite mo
Even though secrets are lost in our eyes,
kasaneta ude wo hodoki wa shinai wa
We will never break our embrace.
Ichigatsu no aoi tsuki asa yake kakushite yo
Pale January moon, hide the morning's glow.
Owaru hazu no nai yoru ni yasashii yoake
The gentle dawn of a night that should not end.
