 Kirito : One month has passed since the game began. |
(0:00:12.01) |
 EXTRA : December 2, 2022 |
(0:00:14.43) |
| Kirito : During that time, two thousand people have died. |
(0:00:16.07) |
Kirito : However, no one has yet been
able to clear the first floor. |
(0:00:19.31) |
| Kirito : I was a beta tester, |
(0:00:24.87) |
| Kirito : and even I haven't found the boss room. |
(0:00:26.99) |
| Kirito : And today, |
(0:00:33.12) |
| Kirito : we're finally holding a meeting |
(0:00:34.63) |
| Kirito : on how to defeat the first floor boss. |
(0:00:36.97) |
| EXTRA : Beater |
(0:02:10.02) |
 Diabel : Okay, let's get started, people! |
(0:02:19.41) |
| Diabel : Thank you for coming today. |
(0:02:23.72) |
| Diabel : My name is Diabel. |
(0:02:27.67) |
| Diabel : I like to consider my "job" as Knight. |
(0:02:29.12) |
| EXTRA : There's no job system in this game! |
(0:02:33.10) |
| EXTRA : A knight? |
(0:02:35.15) |
| EXTRA : Then, is the meeting a joke, too? |
(0:02:35.77) |
| EXTRA : You should take this seriously! |
(0:02:36.08) |
| Diabel : Today, our party found |
(0:02:40.17) |
| Diabel : the boss room at the top of the tower. |
(0:02:42.54) |
| EXTRA : Seriously? |
(0:02:45.14) |
Diabel : We need to defeat the boss,
reach the second floor, |
(0:02:47.11) |
Diabel : and tell everyone waiting
in the Town of Beginnings |
(0:02:51.12) |
| Diabel : that it is possible to beat this game. |
(0:02:54.84) |
| Diabel : Everyone present here shares this duty! |
(0:02:58.11) |
| Diabel : Do you all agree? |
(0:03:02.10) |
| Diabel : All right, |
(0:03:14.57) |
| Diabel : then let us begin our planning. |
(0:03:16.17) |
| Diabel : First, divide into parties of six. |
(0:03:20.72) |
| EXTRA : Of course we'll be in the same party. |
(0:03:24.63) |
Diabel : An ordinary party has no chance
against a floor boss. |
(0:03:24.99) |
| EXTRA : I'll be the leader. |
(0:03:27.67) |
Diabel : We'll need to form a raid group
using multiple parties. |
(0:03:28.59) |
| EXTRA : Let's do this. |
(0:03:30.46) |
| Kirito : You got left out, too? |
(0:03:40.95) |
 Asuna Yuuki : I wasn't left out. |
(0:03:43.54) |
Asuna Yuuki : I just stayed out of it because everyone
seemed to know each other already. |
(0:03:45.16) |
| Kirito : A solo player? |
(0:03:49.56) |
| Kirito : Then, want to form a party with me? |
(0:03:51.12) |
Kirito : He just said we can't beat
the boss on our own. |
(0:03:54.67) |
| Kirito : So just for this fight? |
(0:03:57.83) |
| Diabel : Okay, have you formed your parties? |
(0:04:16.84) |
| Diabel : Then— |
(0:04:20.16) |
 Kibaou : Just a second! |
(0:04:20.72) |
| Kibaou : My name's Kibaou. |
(0:04:29.81) |
Kibaou : I wanna say something
before we take on the boss. |
(0:04:31.84) |
| Kibaou : Some of you here need to apologize |
(0:04:36.08) |
| Kibaou : to the two thousand who have died so far! |
(0:04:39.66) |
| Diabel : Kibaou-san, |
(0:04:45.44) |
Diabel : are you referring
to the beta testers? |
(0:04:46.91) |
| Kibaou : Of course I am! |
(0:04:52.13) |
Kibaou : On the day this stupid game started,
the beta guys ditched us beginners, |
(0:04:54.16) |
| Kibaou : and they all disappeared. |
(0:04:58.14) |
| Kibaou : They took all the good hunting spots |
(0:05:00.40) |
| Kibaou : and easy quests for themselves, |
(0:05:02.69) |
| Kibaou : so only they could get stronger. |
(0:05:05.04) |
| Kibaou : And then, they just ignored the rest of us. |
(0:05:07.41) |
| Kibaou : I'm sure someone here was in the beta! |
(0:05:11.60) |
| Kibaou : They should get on their knees and apologize, |
(0:05:15.29) |
Kibaou : and give up all the items and
money they've hoarded. |
(0:05:17.54) |
Kibaou : Otherwise, we can't trust them to
protect us as party members, |
(0:05:21.05) |
| Kibaou : and they shouldn't trust us! |
(0:05:24.69) |
 Agil : May I speak? |
(0:05:30.86) |
| Agil : My name is Egil. |
(0:05:39.09) |
| Agil : Kibaou-san, tell me if I have this right. |
(0:05:41.37) |
Agil : You're saying that because the beta
testers didn't take care of them, |
(0:05:44.57) |
| Agil : many beginners died. |
(0:05:47.28) |
Agil : That they should take responsibility,
apologize, and provide compensation. |
(0:05:49.27) |
| Agil : Correct? |
(0:05:52.73) |
| Kibaou : Y-Yeah. |
(0:05:53.83) |
| Agil : You got this guide book, didn't you? |
(0:05:57.14) |
| Agil : It was provided for free at the item store. |
(0:06:00.66) |
| Kibaou : Sure, I did... |
(0:06:03.21) |
| Kibaou : Why? |
(0:06:04.61) |
Agil : It was compiled from information
given by the beta testers. |
(0:06:05.88) |
| EXTRA : Seriously? |
(0:06:09.30) |
| Agil : Listen. |
(0:06:12.74) |
| Agil : Everyone had equal access to this information. |
(0:06:13.83) |
| Agil : And even still, many players died. |
(0:06:16.33) |
| Agil : I thought the topic of discussion here |
(0:06:18.91) |
| Agil : was what we could learn from their deaths, |
(0:06:20.56) |
| Agil : and how that can help us defeat the boss. |
(0:06:23.23) |
| Diabel : All right. |
(0:06:38.81) |
| Diabel : Then, can we resume? |
(0:06:40.27) |
| Diabel : The latest edition of that guide book was just issued, |
(0:06:43.86) |
| Diabel : and it contains information on the boss. |
(0:06:46.72) |
Diabel : According to it, the boss's name
is Illfang the Kobold Lord. |
(0:06:50.88) |
Diabel : He is guarded by assistants
known as Ruin Kobold Sentinels. |
(0:06:55.40) |
| Diabel : He is armed with an axe and a buckler. |
(0:06:59.57) |
Diabel : He has four health bars,
and when the last one enters the red, |
(0:07:02.42) |
Diabel : he switches to a curved
sword-type weapon called a Talwar. |
(0:07:06.36) |
| Diabel : His attack pattern changes, as well. |
(0:07:09.43) |
| EXTRA : Wow... |
(0:07:12.79) |
| EXTRA : Amazing. |
(0:07:15.36) |
| Diabel : This concludes the briefing. |
(0:07:19.04) |
Diabel : Lastly, items will be
automatically distributed. |
(0:07:21.14) |
Diabel : EXP goes to the party
that defeats the monster. |
(0:07:26.28) |
| Diabel : And whoever receives an item keeps it. |
(0:07:29.32) |
| Diabel : Any objections? |
(0:07:32.44) |
Diabel : Okay, we leave tomorrow,
at ten in the morning. |
(0:07:37.49) |
| Diabel : See you there! |
(0:07:41.44) |
| Kirito : It's pretty tasty, isn't it? |
(0:08:18.65) |
| Kirito : May I sit down? |
(0:08:22.19) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Do you really think it's good? |
(0:08:35.41) |
| Kirito : Of course. |
(0:08:37.32) |
Kirito : I've been eating at least one daily,
ever since arriving in this town. |
(0:08:39.43) |
| Kirito : I do change it up a little, though. |
(0:08:42.79) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Change it up? |
(0:08:45.59) |
| Kirito : Trying putting some on the bread. |
(0:08:48.73) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Cream? |
(0:09:01.51) |
| Kirito : It's the reward for a quest called |
(0:09:25.84) |
Kirito : "The Heifer Strikes Back,"
one village behind us. |
(0:09:28.01) |
| Kirito : If you want to do it, I'll show you the trick. |
(0:09:31.26) |
| Asuna Yuuki : I didn't come to this town to eat good food. |
(0:09:34.67) |
| Kirito : Then, why did you? |
(0:09:39.66) |
| Asuna Yuuki : So I can still be me. |
(0:09:42.55) |
Asuna Yuuki : I'd rather stay myself until the
very end than sit and rot away |
(0:09:45.52) |
| Asuna Yuuki : at an inn, back in the first town. |
(0:09:50.21) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Even if I get killed by a monster, |
(0:09:55.00) |
| Asuna Yuuki : I don't want to lose to this game... |
(0:09:57.82) |
| Asuna Yuuki : To this world. |
(0:09:59.61) |
| Asuna Yuuki : No matter what. |
(0:10:01.97) |
Kirito : I wouldn't want a party
member dying on me... |
(0:10:08.69) |
| Kirito : So at the least, don't die tomorrow. |
(0:10:12.01) |
| EXTRA : December 3, 2022 Floor 1: Forest Field |
(0:10:19.66) |
| Kirito : Let's go over it again. |
(0:10:20.16) |
| Kirito : We leftovers are supposed |
(0:10:22.13) |
| Kirito : to target the boss's helpers, |
(0:10:24.06) |
| Kirito : the Ruin Kobold Sentinels. |
(0:10:26.77) |
| Asuna Yuuki : I know. |
(0:10:28.37) |
Kirito : I'll use a sword skill to
knock their pole axes up. |
(0:10:29.73) |
| Kirito : The second I do, switch in. |
(0:10:33.63) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Switch? |
(0:10:36.41) |
Kirito : Is this the first time you've
ever been in a party? |
(0:10:38.58) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Yes. |
(0:10:42.64) |
| Diabel : Listen up, everyone. |
(0:10:58.94) |
| Diabel : I have only one thing to say. |
(0:11:00.55) |
| Diabel : Let's win! |
(0:11:03.34) |
| Diabel : Let's go! |
(0:11:05.92) |
| Diabel : Commence attack! |
(0:11:38.28) |
| Diabel : Squad A! Squad C! Switch! |
(0:11:52.36) |
| Diabel : Here it comes! |
(0:11:55.93) |
| Diabel : Squad B, block! |
(0:11:56.80) |
Diabel : Squad C, keep guarding
and prepare to switch. |
(0:12:01.01) |
| Diabel : Now! |
(0:12:03.52) |
Diabel : Switch, draw, and prepare
to attack from the side. |
(0:12:04.60) |
Diabel : Squads D, E, and F, keep
the sentinels off us! |
(0:12:06.93) |
| Kirito : Roger! |
(0:12:10.04) |
| Kirito : Switch! |
(0:12:12.77) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Number three! |
(0:12:14.39) |
| Kirito : I thought she was a beginner. |
(0:12:16.09) |
| Kirito : But she's incredible. |
(0:12:18.17) |
Kirito : She's so fast, I can't even
follow her blade. |
(0:12:19.94) |
| Kirito : Good job. |
(0:12:27.20) |
| Kibaou : Looks like that information was right... |
(0:12:45.03) |
| Diabel : Stand back. |
(0:12:47.50) |
| Diabel : I'll go! |
(0:12:48.70) |
Kirito : We were supposed to surround
it with the entire group. |
(0:12:51.91) |
| Kirito : That isn't a Talwar! |
(0:13:06.47) |
| Kirito : It's a No-Dachi! |
(0:13:07.70) |
| Kirito : It's not the same as the beta test! |
(0:13:08.72) |
| Kirito : No! |
(0:13:11.64) |
| Kirito : Jump back as fast as you can! |
(0:13:13.06) |
| Kibaou : Diabel! |
(0:13:24.79) |
| Kirito : Diabel! |
(0:13:30.63) |
| Kirito : Why did you try to do it alone? |
(0:13:35.68) |
| Diabel : You were |
(0:13:40.85) |
| Diabel : a beta tester, weren't you? |
(0:13:42.95) |
| Diabel : You know what I was doing. |
(0:13:44.66) |
Kirito : You were after the last
attack bonus rare item. |
(0:13:49.43) |
| Kirito : You were a beta tester, too? |
(0:13:53.33) |
| Diabel : Please... |
(0:14:00.69) |
| Diabel : Defeat... |
(0:14:02.59) |
| Diabel : Defeat the boss. |
(0:14:04.04) |
| Diabel : For everyone... |
(0:14:08.28) |
| Kirito : When this game started, |
(0:14:15.36) |
Kirito : the only thing I thought
about was surviving. |
(0:14:18.59) |
| Kirito : Okay, goodbye, Klein. |
(0:14:24.30) |
| Kirito : However, Diabel, you were a beta tester. |
(0:14:28.05) |
| Kirito : But you never abandoned the other players. |
(0:14:32.22) |
Kirito : You led everyone,
and you fought brilliantly! |
(0:14:34.86) |
| Kirito : You tried to do what I could not. |
(0:14:38.19) |
| Asuna Yuuki : I'll go, too. |
(0:14:50.20) |
| Kirito : Thanks. |
(0:14:51.89) |
| Kirito : We'll do it just like the sentinels. |
(0:14:56.19) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Got it. |
(0:14:58.55) |
| Kirito : Switch! |
(0:15:08.28) |
| Kirito : Asuna! |
(0:15:12.75) |
| Kirito : He's coming back! |
(0:15:33.07) |
| Kirito : Crap! |
(0:15:45.37) |
| Agil : Go! |
(0:16:06.99) |
| Agil : We'll hold him off till you recover! |
(0:16:08.96) |
| Kirito : You're... |
(0:16:12.28) |
| Kirito : Watch out! |
(0:16:24.22) |
| Kirito : I'll get you first! |
(0:16:28.50) |
| Kirito : Asuna... |
(0:16:34.80) |
Kirito : One last hit!
We'll do it together! |
(0:16:35.82) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Roger! |
(0:16:38.86) |
| EXTRA : W-We did it! |
(0:17:11.88) |
| EXTRA : Coat of Midnight |
(0:17:32.80) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Good work. |
(0:17:35.27) |
| Agil : That was splendid swordsmanship. |
(0:17:36.92) |
| Agil : Congratulations. |
(0:17:38.63) |
| Agil : This victory belongs to you. |
(0:17:40.15) |
| Kirito : No... |
(0:17:42.76) |
| Kibaou : Why? |
(0:17:54.05) |
| Kibaou : Why did you let Diabel die? |
(0:17:57.66) |
| Kirito : Let him die? |
(0:18:03.14) |
| Kibaou : Of course! |
(0:18:05.43) |
| Kibaou : You knew that technique the boss used! |
(0:18:07.02) |
Kibaou : If you'd told us about that up front,
he wouldn't have died! |
(0:18:10.51) |
| EXTRA : He must be a beta tester! |
(0:18:21.79) |
EXTRA : That's how he knew all the
boss's attack patterns. |
(0:18:24.88) |
| EXTRA : He knew, but he didn't tell us! |
(0:18:27.83) |
| EXTRA : Other beta testers are here, too, right? |
(0:18:31.34) |
| EXTRA : Come out! |
(0:18:34.96) |
| Kirito : This is bad. |
(0:18:50.59) |
| Kirito : At this rate... |
(0:18:52.06) |
| Diabel : For everyone... |
(0:18:54.10) |
| Agil : Hey, come on... |
(0:19:04.66) |
| Kirito : A beta tester? |
(0:19:16.68) |
Kirito : I wish you wouldn't compare
me to those newbies. |
(0:19:20.97) |
| Kibaou : W-What?! |
(0:19:24.81) |
Kirito : Most of the thousand beta
testers were beginners |
(0:19:28.15) |
| Kirito : who didn't even know how to level up. |
(0:19:33.15) |
| Kirito : You guys are better than they are. |
(0:19:37.11) |
| Kirito : But I'm not like them. |
(0:19:42.72) |
Kirito : I made it higher than anyone
else during the beta test. |
(0:19:47.91) |
| Kirito : The reason I knew the boss's skills |
(0:19:53.39) |
Kirito : is because I fought monsters with
katana skills on floors far above us. |
(0:19:55.84) |
| Kirito : I know a lot more. |
(0:20:01.15) |
| Kirito : Way more than any information broker. |
(0:20:03.51) |
| Kibaou : W-What? |
(0:20:07.84) |
| Kibaou : That's... |
(0:20:10.06) |
| Kibaou : That's way worse than a beta tester! |
(0:20:10.96) |
| Kibaou : You're cheating! A cheater! |
(0:20:12.82) |
| EXTRA : Yeah, a cheater! |
(0:20:15.73) |
| EXTRA : A beta tester and a cheater... |
(0:20:17.69) |
| EXTRA : A beater! |
(0:20:18.92) |
| Kirito : A beater... |
(0:20:21.37) |
| Kirito : I like it. |
(0:20:22.62) |
| Kirito : That's right... |
(0:20:25.54) |
| Kirito : I am a beater. |
(0:20:26.87) |
Kirito : From now on, don't confuse
me with the other testers. |
(0:20:28.85) |
| EXTRA : Coat of Midnight |
(0:20:32.67) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Wait. |
(0:20:51.15) |
Asuna Yuuki : You called my name when
we were fighting. |
(0:20:55.56) |
| Kirito : Sorry for using just your first name. |
(0:20:58.86) |
| Kirito : Or did I mess up the pronunciation? |
(0:21:01.38) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Where did you learn it? |
(0:21:03.86) |
Kirito : You can see another HP gauge
below yours, around here, right? |
(0:21:06.00) |
| Kirito : Isn't something written next to it? |
(0:21:10.78) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Kirito... |
(0:21:16.37) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Kirito? |
(0:21:18.46) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Is that your name? |
(0:21:20.11) |
| Kirito : Yeah. |
(0:21:22.29) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Oh, it's been there all this time! |
(0:21:26.89) |
| Kirito : You'll be really strong. |
(0:21:32.22) |
Kirito : So if someone you trust ever
invites you to join a guild, |
(0:21:34.08) |
| Kirito : don't turn them down. |
(0:21:38.60) |
Kirito : There's a big limit to what you
can do as a solo player. |
(0:21:40.09) |
| Asuna Yuuki : Then, what about you? |
(0:21:44.04) |
| EXTRA : Will you disband your party? |
(0:21:51.10) |
EXTRA : Next Time:
