According to rumors in the industry,
there are some hidden functions in the glasses
that are better left unmentioned.
I'm Yuko Okonogi.
A sixth-grade elementary school student.
It's been eleven years now since cyberglasses capable of connecting to a network
and displaying various pieces of information were spread all around the world.
But the cyberspace of this town
is unlike any other.
There's an obsolete Space
that isn't supposed to exist.
A person who has many cyberitems:
a cyberdetective.
A mysterious cybersubstance:
the Illegal.
And then,
there's also an antivirus program to delete them all: Satchii.
Poop!
I've just moved to Daikoku City,
but I feel like lots of other stuff is bound to happen.
Fiends!
Now where have all the bad 'uns gotten off to?
I won't let ya get awa—
My... my back!
I have to fill out some forms with your mom.
Can you go on ahead to class?
Oh! You're the girl from yesterday!
It's all your fault that Fumie captured my quarry before I could!
I demand compensation!
There's no need for that.
Fumie!
So we're in the same class.
Yeah, nice to see you again.
You have to watch out for Daichi.
All he does with his glasses are naughty things.
He's a real devil.
Hey, Daichi!
Get back to your seat!
Okay,
I'm going to introduce you to a new friend.
Yuko Okonogi.
Could you please write your name on the blackboard?
Yes, ma'am.
Poop!
That's strange...
Maiko-sensei.
Vice Principal.
The date has been postponed by one day...
Eh? Why did nobody ask me first?
So what's up, Maiko-sensei?
Are you still waiting for that boyfriend you don't have?
Shut up, Daichi!
Okay, I'll try and call you later.
Okay, kids!
Remember Okonogi's name.
Yes, ma'am!
K-Kyoko...
I'll give you sumthin' good.
Look.
Take this megane-beam.
With this, you'll annihilate those guys!
Poop!
Fine.
Just go.
Go after 'em!
Hello? Yes?
Huh?
Granny?
Mega-baa?
Yeah.
Eh?
What's that?!
Densuke...?
And you let Kyoko go after them?
What do you mean?
Kyo!
What are you doing in a place like this?
C'mon, let's go home.
Yeah—poop!
Oh geez, that Granny!
Come on, let's go.
What's this ugly drawing?
It's the kidnapper.
I don't know how many of them are around,
so watch out!
Here he is!
What's going on?
Densuke's location has disappeared!
There must be something jamming the transmission.
I don't know who the hell it is,
but it must be someone evil!
Yasako,
this time it's going to be free of charge.
At this point, it's a real challenge!
Oyaji, follow Densuke's scent!
Here they are!
They're gone...
What are you doing?
Come over here!
Maybe they're heading to the station.
Wait!
Sorry for intruding!
Sorry! So sorry!
Gotcha!
Yasako.
Yasako!
They ran off in that direction.
Follow them!
Okay.
It's useless!
Why are there two Satchiis in two different locations?
Don't tell me
that the Satchii installed by Daikoku City...
Oh no!
Densuke.
Densuke!
Me Satchii!
Why?
Why are there two of them?!
Perfect.
Keep on leading them this way.
It's a shrine!
It shouldn't be able to spot me here.
Wh-What's this?
This isn't a shrine!
Me Satchii.
Wh-What's that?
Over here!
Come on, hurry up!
C'mon, hurry!
Give me what you're holding.
You won't be able to climb!
But...
Come on!
Hurry!
Hurry up!
Sorry, but this is mine.
So I'll take it with me.
What are you talking about?!
That's my pet!
Hey!
What are you planning to do with it?
Give it back!
No closer...
S-Stop!
Where did she go?
What is this place?
I can hear something.
It's going to be difficult
to run away from both Satchiis.
What should I do?
It's dangerous, but I've no choice but to draw it out...
Densuke!
What's this?
Densuke!
Densuke.
I'm so relieved!
They've been separated.
Wait!
Damn!
In normal Space,
the Illegals disintegrate immediately.
This is...
Unbelievable.
An Encoder...
I have to do this quickly,
or he'll die.
I hope I make it in time.
Come on, react!
That's it!
The keyhole!
What on earth... is going on?
Consolidate!
Consolidate now!
It's not working!
The damage is too great!
The Space is—
I won't make it in time!
But I'm so close!
The kira-bug...
A keyhole?
Yasako.
Fumie!
Th-That girl...
W-We have to get out of here!
M-Metabugs!
Quickly! Or Satchii will come!
We're caught between the two!
Come!
This is a shrine.
A shrine?
An instant one.
So the one who made the glyphs I've been seeing recently...
is that girl!
Yes.
As I imagined, it was impossible to draw it out in normal space.
It was destroyed before it could even begin.
It just ended up tearing the Space to pieces.
And there's more.
This one was dead from the beginning.
By the way,
someone interfered.
I know.
I'll be careful.
So this is a codified tag...
I thought they ceased to exist a long time ago.
Things are getting more interesting.
That was an Encoder.
An Encoder?
Yeah.
In other words,
a cyberspace wizard.
A wizard?
That was just an example.
I heard they use creepy codes to modify the Space directly,
and that they conduct business on the fringe of the law.
Rumors say that in order to collect metabugs, the Encoders
use dangerous means to dig up the Space.
I didn't even believe they really existed.
I'm sure that Encoder
is hiding a tremendous secret.
A secret about this town,
obscure even to those who live here.
It's gone fer good.
No more worries.
The spot is also gone!
Thank goodness!
Anyway, I wonder who that Encoder is and where she came from.
Fumie.
Take these.
These are...
They're all very powerful metatags of the most advanced kind!
With these,
you're to investigate 'bout that Encoder and her background.
It'll be a piece of cake with these!
You think so?
I hope it's like you say.
Well,
how do I start searching for that girl?
I don't think the Encoder will show herself so easily...
I guess it'll be really hard to find her.
Okay, back to your seats!
As a matter of fact, one more person was supposed to come here yesterday,
but because of family reasons, it'll be today.
What are you talking about, Sensei?
Marriage?
To tell you the truth, there's another...
...new friend joining us!
Our second new friend is...
Amasawa.
Yuko Amasawa.
Oh, what a coincidence.
You two have the same name. Yuko.
I'm Yuko Amasawa.
Pleased to meet you.
Next time on Dennou Coil:
Daikoku City - The Hackers Club
See you next time!
