According to rumors among informed people,
there is a deep connection between Imago and Cybercures.
Densuke!
Kyoko!
Wait!
But that's...!
Maybe it's related to the story we just heard?
Stop talking nonsense!
First of all, we'd better take her glasses off...
Wait!
We mustn't...
We mustn't take her glasses off.
A-Are you... Illegals?
Yasako,
they're dangerous.
Why are you doing this?
Give Kyoko back!
Let's run!
What should we do? Kyoko is...
Kyoko is right here, isn't she!
But...
Anyway, let's get out of here.
Damn, how many of them are there?
This way!
Kyoko...
I've run out of metatags.
Densuke!
That's Mega-baa's barrier.
It seems they can't enter.
There are some outside too.
Who knows what the Megashi store is like in these conditions!
There's a lot of tags in here too.
We're safe, thanks to the Mega-baa's thorough precautions.
Yeah...
Someone once told me...
In the deepest part of obsolete Space,
there are dangerous Illegals.
That's just bogus.
Because of what you said,
I ended up running for real.
How silly.
Also, Kyoko is just sleeping.
Tomorrow morning, she...
Yasako?
She's got a fever.
No Space alterations found yet, huh?
There's another unknown factor.
The passage opens because of that trigger.
Another factor...
The fact that Harakawa entered the passage
wasn't a coincidence.
Harakawa himself opened the passage!
No way...
I can't connect to Haraken either.
What about Mega-baa?
Nothing.
Then, try e-mail!
Will e-mail work if the telephone doesn't?
It's worth a try.
E-mail uses a different server.
Mega-baa is the only one who can find a way out of this.
It should be around here.
So he's all right.
I'm just thinking too much.
Amasawa!
As I thought!
I'm coming. Wait there a sec!
Is your body all right now?
Yeah.
Sorry... for breaking the promise.
Don't worry.
After all, I shouldn't have done that trade.
You have to throw away your vain hope.
"The other side" is just an urban legend.
I felt it.
At the bottom of that place...
Kanna is there.
If I go there,
I'm certain I can...
Don't go near it anymore.
I'll never trade with you again.
I'll pay my debt later.
Anyway,
I can't do anything more.
My aunt confiscated my glasses.
Your glasses?
Well, that's just perfect.
Forget about everything.
You have to stop playing with glasses.
Otherwise,
the glasses will kill you.
Haraken...
and then Kyoko.
This isn't just an urban legend.
It's all real.
Don't talk nonsense.
Also on the net, they say that if you constantly use the glasses,
you may get a headache or feel physical pain, right?
Pain?
Exactly!
Also Haraken's heart
was examined several times, and they found nothing, right?
But that's...
There's no way the world of glasses could influence
the real world.
Also Kyoko
didn't dry her hair.
That must be why she caught a cold.
Let's take our glasses off.
Now, immediately.
Yasako, you definitely think way too much.
So now, let's take our glasses off together, and...
Imago.
Huh?
There's this Imago thing.
When you think of something, it causes a projection in cyberspace.
If by some chance the reverse is also true...
If...
those Illegals and that weird Space
could rob people of their consciousness through Imago...
Stop it!
Whatever happens in the world of glasses
is just a graphic image!
No kid attacked by Satchii ever died!
Think about it!
Okay then.
I'll prove it to you.
Eh?
I'll take my glasses off.
I can't stand it anymore.
It's so foolish.
I'll take them off.
Wait.
What?
If the urban legend...
If the stories about "the other side"
are true...
I don't believe it.
Fumie, I...
You're shifting!
An Illegal touched me then.
That's why.
That's absurd...
At that moment,
I had a very bad feeling.
Like a scary feeling.
Yes, a sad...
A sad feeling.
It's just a hallucination!
That black hole...
Those human-shaped Illegals...
I'm certain something's there.
Something deeper than urban legends.
So, you mean that if they touch you,
like, with a trick, you would die!?
I never heard of someone dying because of that!
Kanna...
did die.
But....
That's...
Fumie, you can take yours off.
Maybe.
You weren't touched by that Illegal.
I won't take mine off.
Not until Kyoko's cyberbody comes back.
Oh, right!
That's right!
Why didn't I realize this before?
If it's just to use the terminal...
I should be able to log in under my name!
It worked!
So it was a black metatag, right?
Yup, it made Haraken's cyberbody come back.
It looks like it's not here.
Maybe that Illegal was Miss Michiko?
Cut it out!
Those guys...
They're trying to break the barrier!
Ah,
if we could only contact Mega-baa...
What's this?!
It's an old-fashioned telephone!
Does it still work?
Yes?
Hello!
It's me!
Granny!
Really?!
Thank goodness!
My glasses telephone wouldn't go through!
This telephone is peculiar.
Granny! Kyoko...
Kyoko is in big trouble!
Is there a way to save her?
There is. The black metatag called Coil-Tag.
Black metatag?
It must be the one Aunty was using!
Tamako?
I thought I was the only one who could create it.
And where is it?
If only I had Oyaji with me,
we could send him to help her right away, like back then in the construction ground!
Okay, I tied it.
It's a different Space from the other time.
How do you know?
It's just a feeling, but...
I can't let you go alone!
Fumie, you have to look after Kyoko.
Yasako, aren't you scared?
I am scared.
Scared to death.
Take care of Kyoko.
There should be only one Coil-Tag, on the counter.
So if we apply it, she should go back to normal, right?
It's not that easy.
Black metatag...
It's so dark I can't tell which is which.
I gotta hurry.
No!
What do you mean?
Isn't attaching this Coil-Tag enough to make Kyoko return to normal?
Isn't Kyoko's cyberbody becoming translucent?
It is...
While Kyoko is wandering around "the other side,"
she's creating a gap.
And what happens with this gap?
Linking back becomes impossible.
In other words, she won't be able to come back anymore.
What?!
The Coil-Tag is effective only at close distances.
How close?
About three meters.
Three meters?!
Within that distance, it guides Kyoko's cyberbody back.
Guides,
you say?
I'm...
still thinking about that.
Mega-baa!
I just remembered!
This phenomenon...
And then, about these Illegals...
Give me.
This place?
I know this place...
Mega-baa! Is there something we can do?
Right. There's only a slight chance, but try to phone her.
Phone?
You have to call Kyoko's glasses-phone number.
The telephone and her cyberbody are-
H-Hey, what were you about to say?
Sorry! My ten yen are about to-
Me...
Mega-baa!
Right!
If I call back from the call history list...
Err...
Oh?
Where is it?
Yasako, stop appearing from creepy places!
Sorry,
but I didn't know I'd come out here.
There's a secret passage that links to the Megashi store.
A secret passage?
Fumie, these!
The Coil-Tag?
Here it is!
Oh! Mega-baa said something strange!
Strange?
Come on,
eat.
Kyoko?
Is this Kyoko?
Sis?
It worked!
Kyoko,
you're in a place where you mustn't be!
You have to come back!
Where are you now?
I don't know.
It's a festival!
A festival?
We're hearing her voice even though her mouth isn't moving!
What kind of place is it?
There are a lot of booths...
and stairs with torii.
Kyoko,
you must not climb those stairs!
You have to go back the way you came!
Listen!
All those things you're seeing are just illusions!
Get away from those stairs!
An old-timer gave me some candy.
Kyoko!
Throw the candy away and get out of there!
Quickly!
Give me.
Run!
Give me.
Densuke!
Give me.
It's Densuke! Densuke's there!
Be quiet.
Kyoko!
Run towards Densuke's voice.
What happened?
The line is dead.
Sis! Sis!
Give me.
Poop!
Let's call again...
Fumie!
The wall is...
This room isn't safe anymore!
Here!
Give me.
Densuke!
What...
is this place?
I'm not really sure.
It's a house my Grandpa built a long time ago.
But, I came here once when I was little.
A secret passage...
But...
something is strange.
Where does this passage lead?
Can it be...
What is that?!
As I thought...
It's obsolete Space!
Obsolete Space?
Yasako...
What's wrong?
I can hear her!
It's Kyoko's voice!
Is it possible...
that the two obsolete Spaces are connected?!
Kyoko!
Densuke!
Here!
Look!
It's Densuke!
Kyoko!
She came back!
The Coil-Tag!
Kyoko...
It worked...
Yasako! We're in danger!
Where's the exit?
Here!
They're also in the Megashi store!
All we can do is blast through!
Let's go!
Next time
on Dennou Coil:
Kanna and Yasako.
See you next time.
