Hey! Are you okay?!
What happened?!
Tri-Edge...
Hey, hey, did you know there's a PC who ran from Tri-Edge?
But if all of the ones who met him were mere observers, then it wouldn't be a rumor would it?
Well... that's true.
And? What sort of character is it?
It's not like that black Multi-Weapon is it?
No, they say that it's a Blue Brandish.
Really...
The one who ran... it isn't that doll that sits on that bridge, is it?
Isn't it...
Well he's a Warlock, and more than blue, it's brown isn't he?
That's true.
I'll go collect information over by the port.
There's no mistake that this is the PC.
One who got away from Tri-Edge, huh?
It's not the type of character that you see very often.
Well, it appears to be a legal character.
Tri-Edge the unrepatriated person, and a series of phenomenon.
Whether this PC is nothing more than another player who has been swept up by the rising wave, or...
In what way would that be?
Pai.
Did You Know: Pai's name was changed to Pi in the English version.
Yes.
Think as Ovan would,
and act as he would.
...Yes.
Is Phyllo not here?
Nice doing business.
He's not here yet today.
... I see.
He's always here so it seems strange when he's not, doesn't it?
Did something happen?
Can I talk to you for a while?
Go ahead.
I...
...was wondering what Shino-san would do...
Note: That's great, Tabby. You've only been wondering that for like eight episodes.
And what I myself can do...
I've been thinking about it all this time.
But, no matter how hard I try, I can't become Shino-san.
I was thinking that I should do what I can, with all my strength.
And what are you going to do?
Well I don't really know what I should do... that's why I came to talk to Phyllo.
You should become a guild master.
Heh?
There's things that organizations can do that individuals can't do.
Anyways, just make a guild.
That's where everything will start.
This is troublesome.
I'm telling you that you won't be a match for me.
You don't know that until we actually try right?
Maybe you're not as good as is rumored.
I heard that you know Tri-Edge.
Yata-sama...
This is quite an unexpected development.
Is that it?
Damnit!
That bastard...
I can't stop worrying about him.
It isn't something that can be solved so easily by power.
No... It's because I use power that I'm able to stay as myself.
In other words...?
It is forbidden to speak of it.
Was it one minute?
About the Get-Hitter?
How much is it?
If you'll be a repeat customer, I'll give you a discount the first time around.
So I made a guild, but...
I'm not quite sure about what to do...
I think that you should think about what you want to do in chronological order.
Eh?
Number one, what do you want to do?
...I want to help Haseo.
What do you mean by "help"?
I think that I can revive too!
I was wondering about what it would be like to not only revive Haseo, but also revive the people who were killed by Haseo...
Reviving is not the main job of a Grappler.
But see, if I hold a lot of items in my inventory...
No matter how much money you have, it won't be enough.
I see...
But you asked me what I want to do so...
Ah, yes, that is true.
So, you must think about how exactly you are going to do in order to make that a reality.
I don't know...
I will help.
Eh?
I will do whatever might be needed to help you, so let's work together.
Stop. It's been a minute.
That's it?
Yata-sama... please look at this.
I searched her logs, but...
Here.
Bruna Gideon.
Get to the point quickly.
Please wait.
One more thing.
The log of when Tri-Edge and Ovan fought... huh.
The same place... at the same time.
In other words, she was an observer of the battle between Tri-Edge and Ovan.
Interesting.
However, that is now a thing of the past.
Pai.
What will you do with this information?
I will think as Ovan would and act as Ovan would.
Welcome back.
A Get-Hitter.
Eh?
The survivor, Midori, is working as a Get-Hitter.
Get-Hitter?
Well... to be more specific, a "come and hit me if you can"... person?
Uh... I don't understand what that means...
I guess she sets a reward on herself and fights against PKers.
It's payment up front, and if she get hit even once, then she pays the reward.
The world is so coming to an end, that a business like that would thrive.
It's thriving?
I heard that she's doing it pretty well.
Welcome!
Where's Touta?
You know him?
Well, yes.
I came to relay some information to him.
We do not buy or sell information.
I didn't come sell to it.
I said I was going to relay it, didn't I?
Well, that's no good.
They say that "There's nothing more expensive than something that's free"...
I'm not going to relay it to you so,
Touta should be the one to decide that.
Well yes, but...
What will you do?
Will you listen? Or not?
You...!
I'm giving this PC body back to you.
What should I do?
If I log out will you get it back?
Huh?
You said you were going to use it right?
So, I'm giving it back.
What are you scheming?
Nothing.
Rather than a luxury car, a light motor vehicle that you can use as you please is better, isn't it?
Amazingly, I can understand you for once.
And?
What do you plan on doing with that light vehicle that you can use as you please?
Hint: Haseo.
I was thinking I'd like to watch him a bit longer...
I don't need it.
What?
That PC is worthless now, so, I'll give it to you.
Why?
I'm telling you that it's become worthless.
I'm also telling you that I don't need it.
Even if you hold onto milk that's spoiled, it's not like you can put it in your mouth again is it?
Even if you changed it and allowed it to become cheese, it's lost it's original purpose...
Jeez! I take back everything from before!
I've had enough of you and those confusing analogies that you have!
Really?
I'll give you that PC body so, don't come near me again.
Are those the guidelines for becoming free?
She really acts like a kid... that person.
Nice doing business.
How's it going?
Oh, Touta-san.
We got an incredible piece of information.
Concerning the PC that is said to have observed the battle between Tri-Edge and someone else.
You figured it out?
Not only that, but that PC has also fought against Tri-Edge themselves!
Not only a observer but also a participator, huh.
What's it's name?
Midori.
Midori...
Is that one logged in right now too?
I heard that she has a weird profession.
A Get-Hitter.
The source of that information?
Pai-san.
A person with pink twin pig tails.
Do you know her?
It seemed like she knew you...
If you know each other, you should go thank her.
It seemed like she knew that we were investigating it too so...
I'm gonna go out for a bit.
Why...
Why is it?
Why was Midori able to meet Tri-Edge, while I'm not able to?
Are you the Get-Hitter Midori?
Who are you?
Let's see... You can call me the Informant, Touta.
So you're also running a business over here.
There's something that I want to ask you.
What?
Do you know about Tri-Edge?
That again huh...
Again?
There were other people who asked...
You're pretty popular then.
You're a participator, but also before that, an observer.
Am I wrong?
What do you mean?
You came running from Tri-Edge somehow.
That's true but, what do you mean by an observer?
You should have observed Tri-Edge fighting against another player.
That information is also correct.
I have met Tri-Edge twice.
Well, I suppose you could say that one time I saw him.
And, is that all you wanted to ask?
What was the guy who was fighting against Tri-Edge like?
There's no way that I could know.
I was watching from a distance so...
Just a characteristic is enough.
I don't remember.
He... seemed like he really knew...
A man huh?
...that area, the Lost Ground Bruna Gideon, well.
I see.
Even if you turn me upside down, there isn't any more information left in me.
I see...
What's this?
A bit of a thanks for the information.
Are you stupid?
When a person answered you out of the good will of their heart...
A reward in response to good will is what they call thanks.
I don't need it.
Then I owe you one.
Sorry for bothering you.
Will Haseo fight against Midori one more time with this?
Yes.
This time, not against the Get-Hitter Midori, but rather the Midori who is fighting with all her strength against him.
I wonder if it will shake him.
It is hopeless from the beginning.
Wouldn't Ovan think like that?
Yo, are you all prepared?
Yup.
Hey you, get rid of the character.
What?
The impact from passing by other people.
The lineup is important.
You mean, I should remake my character?
Yeah.
What's your profession?
I'm a Blade.
Then, also change your profession to that of a Harvest.
Eh?
Me too?
You already made the guild so there's no way you could change your character, could you?
I see...
More importantly... do you plan on doing that with just the two of you?
Is that bad?
What's the necessary number of people needed for a party?
Three people.
Then you're short one person.
One more...
What about Phyllo?
Are you serious?
I guess that wouldn't work...
Of course not.
If Phyllo would do something like that, then I would have him help me first.
Hmm... one more huh?
My real life friend said that he was going to start this game...
I'll try inviting him, Hideo.
Hideo?
That's a pretty stiff name.
And...
I'll throw away this character.
Nya?
It will be okay.
Alright!
So if you've got all of your members gathered, then you also need a catch phrase.
A catch phrase?
In order to leave it in the prosperity you need a certain amount of style.
I see.
By the way, what's the name of the guild?
The Paw Squad!
Paw... you mean, like that squishy thing on dogs and... cats?
Yeah.
Is it no good?
You pass!
Sorry for being late.
And what did you want to talk about?
There's a player who fought against Tri-Edge in Bruna Gideon.
Fought?
Then, Tri-Edge isn't here any more?
That can't be...
Who, what, where and when did they fight him?
I don't know.
Until the information donor remembers, I can't investigate it.
What's the name of the donor?
Midori.
A woman who works as a Get-Hitter.
That one...
She is not only a participant, but also an observer.
That is what I heard.
Or no, it was the other way around wasn't it?
Maybe she was observing and couldn't participate. That's also a possibility.
Where're you going?
It's obvious!
Well... I guess that's how it'll turn out...
What is it now?
What do you know about Tri-Edge?
I already told you.
I heard that you saw the part where Tri-Edge was being attacked.
So what?
Do you remember the guy who defeated Tri-Edge?
No.
I don't even want to remember.
You smell of death.
I hope you would be a replacement for Tri-Edge.
You're good.
Yeah, you're good.
What exactly...
...are you?
I told you.
I'm a Get-Hitter.
You were strong... Tri-Edge.
I guess you weren't enough...
Idiot...
He didn't activate... did he?
I can't...
...even win against the one who got away from Tri-Edge...
