Tell me I don't understand anything, but
You always say those kinds of words, too
You find another way where we only pass each other by
And rush out into a world that's ending, you know?
Hello, hello, it's a New World!
Faster than light,
with monochromic speed
Hello, hello, it's a New World!
Farther than time,
I run through it; you're so far away
Mansion of Terror
So it is.
What?
The one that got our monster.
Oh, that!
It was data drained.
Data Drained?
It's the ability to rewrite the monster's...
...data and weaken it.
That kind of power.
Only one person in "the World"...
...posesses that ability.
It's Kite!
The legendary dot hackers?
That name brings back memories.
What should we do about it?
Delete the meddler and it's bye-bye.
How?
How about that area?
That's a given.
It'll be a cinch if we can lure him...
...out there, a cinch!
Hey!
The ocean is great!
What are you doing, man!
Sorry! Oh, didn't we meet before?
We must be connected by the red thread of fate.
Would you like to form a party with me?
Then, shall we live together?
Just kidding!
Give me back my summer!
Hey, Shugo! Sorry to keep you waiting!
I bought this at the item store.
How do I look?
G... great.
This is a rare item from my cache of rare items.
"School Swimming Suit". Isn't it nice?
Ohka is coming soon too!!
You'd like to keep me, wouldn't you?
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Ohka!
That form?
What's wrong, Shugo?
Nothing.
He was probably having naughty thoughts.
Shut up Ohka!
What are you doing here?
Guiding.
Guiding?
Sanjuro.
Oh!
Rena. Shugo.
There's something important I need to say.
Huh?
Um... Sanjuro.
Is "The World"...
...is this game fun?
Yes!
That's a given!
I see.
But kids your age probably...
...have so many other fun things to do.
Huh?
Um... What is that?
Moderation in all things.
If you do something in excess, it's not good for you.
You mean to make those...
...those two quit "The World"?!
Was it not you that said that the...
..."Twilight" is coming?
Kite's...
No, Shugo's power will be needed, right?
This is only a game!
Users gather together here to have fun.
That's the primary rule.
There can be no exceptions.
But...
As long as they don't wish it...
...I cannot involve them in this.
There were players that have recently...
...been involved that have become unhappy.
Why do we have to quit "The World"!?
Well, an aquaintance of...
...mine got addicted to "The World"...
...and he's been shunning the real world.
I was a little concerned.
We're fine. We know the difference.
Yeah!
Admirable words.
But, it may be a good idea to stop...
...playing "the World" for a little while.
When you return, more discoveries might await you.
In order to make those wonderful discoveries...
...I want to become stronger.
You understand don't you, Master!
Huh?
Master?
Master! I say, teacher!!
Master. Teacher.
Such a lovely ring to it.
At any rate...
...there are plenty of events...
...that we still have to clear.
Events?
Yeah...
...right after I started playing this character...
...a girl in white appeared and...
...gave me this bracelet.
Data Drain.
I was asked "to save this world."
Aura!
After all, we're the dot hackers characters.
And there are special events connected with that.
Things that normal players can't experience.
Like monsters that won't die.
Right, right!
I cannot involve them in this...
...so long as they don't wish it.
It doesn't matter how trivial.
That also goes for entering unfamilar areas.
If you sense danger, don't access for a while.
There's no need to force yourself to clear an event.
But...
"The World" is meant to be enjoyed.
It's not a place where you should risk your life.
What was he trying to say in the end?
Something like... an hour a day for the game.
He's so preachy, that Sanjuro.
I wonder if he's a school teacher in real life?
It's alright isn't it? Just for a bit?
Give it back...
...that ball is the first item I've gotten.
Take it, take it.
That's good.
Cut it out!
She's a little girl! Have you no shame!
Give back the ball!
Hey, hey, HEY!
Is it a strong opponent?
Oh no, friends?
Here, I'll return this!
See ya, old maid!
How rude! I'm still 14!
My ball.
Are you alright?
Guys are such wolves, be careful.
Women are wolves.
I'm going home.
O... Okay.
Thank you.
U, uh. No need to...
How did it go?
Piece of cake!
We did it, we got the member address!
Well then. Let's start.
Operation Obliterate the Dot Hackers!
I'm back.
Mail?
This is...
Save...
Me...
This is hard to read.
"Cursed Woodland Murderhouse"
Is that what it said?
My "corrupted text auto decoder" from my...
...item stash managed to translate the area name.
But?
The corruption was so bad in the source...
...I couldn't decode everything.
But, we know what area the girl is in.
Let's hurry and go save her!
I'm itching to fight.
A mail from Aura.
No explanation.
"Cursed Woodland Murderhouse"!
This is?
It's like something's waiting to happen.
I smell a rare item!
Rena, what's wrong?
N- Nothing.
Don't let your guard down for a moment...
...Shugo.
I know, Sanjuro!
Alright! Everyone, let's go!
This is a brilliance that cleanses the heart.
Lord Balmung!
Reki, I've completed the repairs here.
I'll now be...
Not now...
...there's over 200 obstacle claims that have come in.
All the staff have given up their day off...
...to deal with it but the claims just keep coming in!
Is it just a coincidence?
This area's abnormal weather?
Reki.
Yes.
I'm leaving it to you.
There is a place I must go.
You're the ones that altered the data just now?
In the name of the Cerulean Knights...
...you will be taken into custody!
How rude! Who do you think this man is?
Don't know.
You really don't know?
How do I know?
Don't joke.
If I don't know, I don't know!
Lower your swords.
He is a system administrator here.
Kamui!
Balmung.
Why are you here?
The Cerulean Knights have but one purpose.
To protect order and peace.
For that purpose, we will go to any area.
We are protecting the order and peace of this server.
I wonder.
Trouble has been on the rise here recently.
Because Balmung is too lenient with the users.
I can't say that it won't grow into a problem...
...of bigger proportions.
Place an activity monitor in this vicinity for a while.
So those were the infamous Cerulean Knights?
The ones that...
...delete non-standard characters without mercy.
CC Corporation's System Division's...
...Control Forces.
The company's dogs.
The girl is somewhere inside this mansion.
Rare Item. Rare Item.
Where are the monsters?
Are you hungry?
Right now, your stomach, it just made a noise.
It appears to be a dining room.
It's a bug.
That scared me.
Could it be that you're easily scared, Rena?
That's right...
...she used to disappear whenever...
...there was some scary special on TV.
I'm right.
Don't worry. I'm here.
Reason aplenty to worry.
I'll be fine.
I'm perfectly fine in a place like this.
No matter how real it seems, it's just a game.
Don't force it. I'm here with you.
Shugo, just watch me not be scared.
Rena!
Don't! Give me some space!
Is that so? Rena's easily frightened.
I caught them coming here.
It was worth it to come here.
Nice situation!
No! I'm scared!
Rena!
Komiyama, you're wonderful!
Tres Bien!
Hey. Which way do I go?!
No way! Where is everyone?
I thought they'd come after me.
It can't be helped.
Well, I'll be fine.
This is an artificial world.
Rena!
RENA!
D... Don't come any closer!
No!!! No!
The voice came from that way. I think.
Rena, are you all right?
Don't let your guard down.
It's dangerous to walk alone in an unknown area.
Let's catch up.
Yes.
This time it's real.
A monster.
You did it!
Huh? You got the monsters...
...but there's no treasure box?
Shugo!
Everyone. Where did you go?
The Exit.
Which way is it?
I shouldn't have put up...
...such a strong front.
I don't like...
...this place...
Someone. Open the door!
It was to lure out Kite.
But the one caught in the trap...
BlackRose, indeed.
We've killed them so many times already!
Vak Don!
These aren't normal monsters!
Shugo! Find Rena immediately.
We're leaving this area!
R... right!
Rena!
H... How?
I'm on the verge of death with just one hit.
Staccatto!
Shugo.
Rena, I'll heal you now.
No! Shugo!
It's one of those. Monsters that won't die.
So...
Rena! Rena!
Data Drain!
Rena!
I'll heal you now!
Repth!
Why? Repth!
Why doesn't it work?!
Rena!
Shugo.
Rena!
Shugo!
Rena!
Shugo.
Rena!

I have event information!

A hot springs bath is open in area...

"Greedy Her Furnace"!
Eh? Could co-ed bathing be...
Hey, big brother! Nose bleed, nose bleed!
Trap of the Steaming Hot Water
In the running children's frolicking voices
They want to chase the light and shadows
Watching the sun shine between the green leaves,
wondering if something is there.
From inside the hands picking, the emerald green flowers
change their body to the sky, the wind, the ground.
Laying in that opulent place that opened its eyes to that beauty,
Asking questions to the sky
