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!
Whats up?
Oh, sorry. I was just thinking.
About Tsukasa? Or about BT?
Both.
Man, I cant 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 werent ever really close.
We were all distant from the beginning.
Well, youre right, but...
If you say that, then theres nothing to go on.
Mimiru, you were going solo when we first met as well.
Hey, whats the real Tsukasa like?
Do you want to see?
No, its okay... for now.
Ive promised that once Tsukasa logs out...
...well go to Shimokita together.
If I see him now, itll feel like cheating.
So Ill wait until then.
Oh and, if Bear is busy in real life...
...you dont have to keep me company.
Dont worry.
Im not the thoughtful type in the first place.
Hows it goin!
You hadnt trashed that character yet.
I have my pride as well.
Loser.
Wait.
Ive 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...
Ive 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 wouldnt come.
I didnt want to.
But you did.
What do you want?
Theres something I want you to do.
Why me?
The right person for the right job. Dont 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 Im a Player Killer. And I dont 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 hes like that, theres nothing to feel bad about.
Youre going to die a dogs death.
You too.
Seems like youre busy.
Did you come here to laugh at me?
Im not that tasteless to scoff at you to your face.
Of course, I dont have that kind of nerve either.
Youre probably laughing in front of your terminal though.
Of course not.
Im 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?
Thats fine. I wont ask you to believe me.
Even in the real world, yes...
...words are useless.
The Key of the Twilight, dont 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 thats not in the specs?
I dont know.
A contract with a devil that grants you three wishes.
Or maybe itll open Pandoras Box, but...
What?
It is an item that overrides the very foundation of the system.
Its 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?
Youve lost the Knights which was your home, and now youre desperate.
A desperate character is strong.
Im not the only one. I have forces.
Thats fine. So?
I will contact you.
Indeed. A pawn...
Tsukasa and you?
Yes. We spend a lot of time together these days.
I see. Thats 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 dont really say much.
Even if you cant heal completely, by staying together...
...you two can heal each other a little at a time.
Yes.
Whatever it is, its good.
What?
Its 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 didnt call us so we can make up, did he?
Please, Im not a child.
Who are you calling a child?
Oh, are you guys busy?
Crim?
You were called as well?
Thats right!
By Bear?
No, Subaru.
Then is Subaru coming too?
Shes not coming.
I asked her to call Crim.
No problem. I know the situation.
Im sorry for being late.
Hey, why did you call us?
Dont 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.
Arent you bored?
Not at all.
OK.
And you?
Youre looking at the stars. I look at the same stars.
I like doing that, I think.
I dont really understand though.
Me too.
Were the same.
Yes, were the same.
Subaru is here, so I like it here more.
There is a place just for me.
Is that somewhere you cant go with a gate?
Do you want to see?
Is it okay?
Theres a girl.
I liked that girl before, but I dont like her now.
Because if I return there when Im happy, it feels really unpleasant.
Unpleasant? You mean the girl?
He said that he might have found it?
Im not that sure since he was shaking, so I couldnt hear it clearly...
...but I think he did or maybe he didnt...
...but I think he said it.
Ill show her to you.
Shes not here.
Where?
Im going on ahead.
Ill contact you again.
To me, The World was just a place for me to take a break and play.
Its the same for me.
And me.
And for Tsukasa as well. I wont force you to join us.
If you dont feel like it, you can back down.
Can I ask you something stupid?
How old are you in the real world?
Ill 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 were having fun...
...in order to have fun?
To get something, you must lose something.
Maybe thats what becoming an adult is.
I dont want to think that!
Youre 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.
Dont bother saying it.
Tsukasa may be your motivation, but mine is different.
We wont question your motivation.
Thats what Subaru said before.
Later. Contact me again.
If I have access, Ill get to wherever you are ASAP.
What are you going to do now, old man?
Thats the question.
Yeah. And?
I have absolutely no idea.
What?!
Like I said. First we need information.
What is it?
BT!
Calm down. Sora isnt 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 doesnt mean anything.
So what are they planning on doing?
They are going to go over all of the information from the beginning.
Thats great.
You really are scum.
I dont do things that other people can do.
I dont 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 dont think we are inferior to Crim.
Then...
Well let them analyze the information.
Well just take the results and move first.
So, Im 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, its fine.
Tsukasa took me to the place where the girl sleeps.
So, youve 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 dont know.
I just have a really bad feeling...
I shouldnt have left Tsukasas side.
No matter how much he hated it, I should have stayed with him.
Subaru, where is...
I cant get there without Tsukasas powers.
Wha- what...
No...
No, stop...!!
No... I... Stop!!
Tsukasa, didnt 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?
Im sorry!
So please forgive...
Its too late. I dont need you.
No! Stop it!
Please!
No! Dont erase... her!
I am...
...not me.
