How come I must know
where obsession needs to go?
How come I must know
the direction of relieving?
Deep in the night
Far off the light
Missing my headache
Visions of light
Sweeter delight
Kissin' my Loveache
Deep in the night
Far off the light
Missing my headache
Visions of light
Sweeter delight
Kissin' my Loveache
How come I must know
where obsession needs to go?
How come I must know
where the passion hides its feelings?
How come I must know
where obsession needs to go?
How come I must know
the direction of relieving?
Is it still all right?
Yes.
All right!
What's up?
Oh, sorry. I was just thinking.
About Tsukasa? Or about BT?
Both.
Man, I can't believe this.
What?
How can you be like that?
I also think about Subaru, Sora, and Crim as well.
I see, the Key of the Twilight...
It feels like we all became very distant.
Well, we weren't ever really close.
We were all distant from the beginning.
Well, you're right, but...
If you say that, then there's nothing to go on.
Mimiru, you were going solo when we first met as well.
Hey, what's the real Tsukasa like?
Do you want to see?
No, it's okay... for now.
I've promised that once Tsukasa logs out...
...we'll go to Shimokita together.
If I see him now, it'll feel like cheating.
So I'll wait until then.
Oh and, if Bear is busy in real life...
...you don't have to keep me company.
Don't worry.
I'm not the thoughtful type in the first place.
How's it goin'!
You hadn't trashed that character yet.
I have my pride as well.
Loser.
Wait.
I've got no intentions of hanging out with you.
Nor I with you.
So, later.
Hey!
Not "hey".
What about "Please"?
Please? You want me to beg?
Do I have to explain it from the beginning?
Losing it because the truth hurts...
I've got nothing to say to someone like that.
Well, I guess a loser showing some loser pride is worth something.
Well, bye!
I thought you wouldn't come.
I didn't want to.
But you did.
What do you want?
There's something I want you to do.
Why me?
The right person for the right job. Don't you want to hear?
If you want me to hear it, then talk.
Are you the type that holds grudges?
Who knows?
Well, whatever. Restrain the Silver Knight.
Restrain him?
Put a leash on him, and maybe he can be of use later.
If you think so, then do it yourself.
But I'm a Player Killer. And I don't like him.
Is there anyone that does?
Yup. Yup.
His simplicity is his only merit.
What are you going to use him for?
Because he is so simple, he can be used as a pawn.
And because he's like that, there's nothing to feel bad about.
You're going to die a dog's death.
You too.
Seems like you're busy.
Did you come here to laugh at me?
I'm not that tasteless to scoff at you to your face.
Of course, I don't have that kind of nerve either.
You're probably laughing in front of your terminal though.
Of course not.
I'm starting to feel some respect for you...
...because you remain in "The World" after all this.
So, I decided to talk to you.
Who would believe that?
That's fine. I won't ask you to believe me.
Even in the real world, yes...
...words are useless.
The Key of the Twilight, don't you want it?
Does it actually exist?
A player that cannot log out...
A monster that does not exist in the specs...
A broken middle-aged man...
No one will admit it but...
...this is a game that is comprised of such irregularities.
I, well, not only me, but there are others who also believe that...
...at the root of these irregularities...
...is where the Key of the Twilight exists.
It DOES exist.
Even if it does, if you get it, what can you do with it?
Level up? Increase parameters?
Use a skill that's not in the specs?
I don't know.
A contract with a devil that grants you three wishes.
Or maybe it'll open Pandora's Box, but...
What?
It is an item that overrides the very foundation of the system.
It's not something that would be in the way...
...of creating unity in the new Knights, now is it?
What are you seeking with that bait?
What you think is up to you.
Motives aside, if the goal is the same, there are grounds to form a pact.
With me?
You've lost the Knights which was your home, and now you're desperate.
A desperate character is strong.
I'm not the only one. I have forces.
That's fine. So?
I will contact you.
Indeed. A pawn...
Tsukasa and you?
Yes. We spend a lot of time together these days.
I see. That's good.
You were the ones who were worried about him in the first place...
...so I thought it would be best to tell you.
How is Tsukasa?
On the surface he looks calm. But...
Is something wrong?
We just sit together and don't really say much.
Even if you can't heal completely, by staying together...
...you two can heal each other a little at a time.
Yes.
Whatever it is, it's good.
What?
It's just, I just stepped out to go to the bathroom...
...and then you came out of nowhere.
I am not a bug.
Why are you here?
I was called.
By Bear?
You too?
Yeah. Jeez, what is that old man thinking?
He didn't call us so we can make up, did he?
Please, I'm not a child.
Who are you calling a child?
Oh, are you guys busy?
Crim?
You were called as well?
That's right!
By Bear?
No, Subaru.
Then is Subaru coming too?
She's not coming.
I asked her to call Crim.
No problem. I know the situation.
I'm sorry for being late.
Hey, why did you call us?
Don't worry. I even thought about calling Sora.
And, what are you planning on starting?
I want to resolve the issue of the search for the Key of the Twilight.
Aren't you bored?
Not at all.
OK.
And you?
You're looking at the stars. I look at the same stars.
I like doing that, I think.
I don't really understand though.
Me too.
We're the same.
Yes, we're the same.
Subaru is here, so I like it here more.
There is a place just for me.
Is that somewhere you can't go with a gate?
Do you want to see?
Is it okay?
There's a girl.
I liked that girl before, but I don't like her now.
Because if I return there when I'm happy, it feels really unpleasant.
Unpleasant? You mean the girl?
He said that he might have found it?
I'm not that sure since he was shaking, so I couldn't hear it clearly...
...but I think he did or maybe he didn't...
...but I think he said it.
I'll show her to you.
She's not here.
Where?
I'm going on ahead.
I'll contact you again.
To me, "The World" was just a place for me to take a break and play.
It's the same for me.
And me.
And for Tsukasa as well. I won't force you to join us.
If you don't feel like it, you can back down.
Can I ask you something stupid?
How old are you in the real world?
I'll be 47 this year.
The same age as my dad?!
What about my age?
Since when...
When did we have to be consciously aware that we're having fun...
...in order to have fun?
To get something, you must lose something.
Maybe that's what becoming an adult is.
I don't want to think that!
You're not an adult just because you have multiple personas...
...and know how to succeed in life.
A man of great caliber has a kid somewhere in his heart.
I have no intentions of backing down!
Thank you.
Don't bother saying it.
Tsukasa may be your motivation, but mine is different.
We won't question your motivation.
That's what Subaru said before.
Later. Contact me again.
If I have access, I'll get to wherever you are ASAP.
What are you going to do now, old man?
That's the question.
Yeah. And?
I have absolutely no idea.
What?!
Like I said. First we need information.
What is it?
BT!
Calm down. Sora isn't here yet.
Did you call?
You called so I came.
Oh? Is BT in a bad mood?
Crim joined Bear and the others.
Subaru as well, of course.
Lady Subaru?
Just because they got more heads doesn't mean anything.
So what are they planning on doing?
They are going to go over all of the information from the beginning.
That's great.
You really are scum.
I don't do things that other people can do.
I don't get it!
Did you even try?
Did you even think about it in that...
...little brain of yours before you answered?
What?!
Settle down.
Silver Knight. Who has more mobility?
We have forces. I don't think we are inferior to Crim.
Then...
We'll let them analyze the information.
We'll just take the results and move first.
So, I'm counting on you.
Hey, there you are.
I tried to get in contact with Bear as well but...
Bear logged off already.
Um... Do you have time right now?
Yeah, it's fine.
Tsukasa took me to the place where the girl sleeps.
So, you've seen her too?
No. When I went, the girl was already gone.
What does that...
Tsukasa said, "She took her away."
"She"? The cat player character?
I don't know.
I just have a really bad feeling...
I shouldn't have left Tsukasa's side.
No matter how much he hated it, I should have stayed with him.
Subaru, where is...
I can't get there without Tsukasa's powers.
Wha- what...
No...
No, stop...!!
No... I... Stop!!
Tsukasa, didn't I tell you...?
As long as we walk together, I am on your side.
The three of us will never be...
...threatened by anyone and shall live peacefully.
Subaru? Are you mad because I brought Subaru here?
I'm sorry!
So please forgive...
It's too late. I don't need you.
No! Stop it!
Please!
No! Don't erase... her!
I am...
...not me.
