How come I must know

where obsession needs to go?

How come I must know

the direction of relieving?

Deep in the night

Far off the light

Missing my headache

Visions of light

Sweeter delight

Kissin' my Loveache

Deep in the night

Far off the light

Missing my headache

Visions of light

Kissin' my Loveache

How come I must know

where obsession needs to go?

How come I must know

where the passion hides its feelings?

How come I must know

where obsession needs to go?

How come I must know

the direction of relieving?

What was it?

Oops. Didn't know I had company.

Hi there, I'm Mimiru.

Is something wrong? Are you ok?

I hardly ever see a Wavemaster working alone.

You must be really tough.

What a jerk.

Oh well, at least he left the treasure chest.

What was I doing?

Where am I?

We're not here to fight.

We're the 13th Squadron of the Crimson Knights.

I'm sure you've heard of us.

We Crimson Knights value courage, civility, and tolerance.

We were formed to look after...

...The World and ensure its smooth operation.

We are constantly keeping watch...

...on any illegal activities inside The World.

That has nothing to do with me.

You're wrong. It has to do with all who come to The World.

A few days ago, you were with a mock-cat player.

Cat?

Who is...?

Someone saw you with it.

That character was obviously edited illegally.

We cannot just let it go...

...but we don't intend to cause you any trouble.

Is it a him or her? I don't know but we need information.

Where is the cat?

We won't inconvenience you, I promise you that.

He ran.

We may need to monitor him.

What...?

Hey, do you always do that?

Are you listening?

Ah... The silent treatment again.

Hey, I happened to witness something earlier...

You disappeared in front of the Crimson Knights.

You're a pest...

Sorry. What was that?

Maybe you know what you're doing...

...but I don't think that's such a good idea.

It doesn't matter once I log out.

No, that's not what I mean!

What?

I doubt you'd understand. Nevermind.

If you continue doing that you won't be welcome here anymore.

What are you gonna do if you run into them again?

That might be...fun.

If I don't want to get involved, I just won't access for a while.

That's just not right!

Hey, are you sure that's okay?

Each person has his own way of playing the game, right?

I... don't like you.

Wh...what did you say? He just ticks me off!

How stupid.

Oh no! Did you drop this golden axe?

Or was it this silver axe?

Oh no... oh no!

Are you having fun?

I'm Bear. Nice to meet you.

I do that too whenever I'm feeling down.

If you need any help, I can lend you a hand...

...since I'm always supporting newbies.

Well, what a shy guy...

Hey, what's a swordsman doing abandoning a fight?

But you won, right?

I'm worn out, though.

Shall I help you recover?

I already took care of it myself.

Then there's no problem. That's how everyone gets strong around here.

You are not being a gentleman.

Oh, I am gentle... but not a pushover.

The other day, I had a chance to speak with Lord Orca.

He is also concerned about the recent situation in The World.

The increased number of users has caused a decline in morality.

That's not it.

He said he can't reveal any details yet.

He also said that he will work with Lord Balmung to find out more.

Orca of the Azure Sea and Balmung of the Azure Sky...

If those two are working together, there's nothing for us to worry about.

No, I'm even more worried because it's a matter important enough...

...for them to act upon.

It is not easy to act in the name of justice.

Hey... Can I ask you something?

Sure... but I can't guarantee that I'll answer you.

What is it?

Uh... are you able to log out, by any chance?

Huh? I don't understand what you mean.

What I mean is... logout...

After I saw you last, I logged out...

...and logged back in just a few minutes ago.

Oh... I see...

How about an explanation?

You mean... you can't log out?

Looks that way.

I've never heard of that...

Did you do something weird? Like anger the Crimson Knights?

You mean, like cheating?

I guess.

I can't remember...

No, I haven't!

Maybe...

...but you don't need to believe me. I really can't remember.

But...

Well, worst case scenario...

...I'm sure you can go back just by resetting your terminal.

How strange! This can't be...

W-wait! Calm down!

Leave me alone!

What? What did you say?

Leave me alone...

Who do you think you are! You're so selfish!

I don't wanna say this, but the net is the same as the real world!

There are certain manners you have to observe when dealing with people,

and you won't be treated with respect if you behave badly.

No matter where you are, net or real.

Don't be such a brat!

I know that... So just leave me alone.

So... you want me to leave you alone?

Yeah.

All right.

Then let me say this one thing...

...didn't you say you didn't like me before?

Well?

I did.

Well, I don't really like you either!

Good... we agree.

So you'll leave me alone then? I'll ignore you too if I...

Bye bye!

It hurts.

Why?

Why?

Are you the one who sent me the e-mail?

Oh, you really came! Thank you very much!

Was damage to the data definitely caused by that item?

Well, my friend was careless as well...

...but he said the guy he traded with looked obviously suspicious.

Suspicious?

He seemed to have tampered with the character source...

...because he had a cat's face.

A cat's...

Well, worst case scenario...

...I'm sure you can go back by just resetting your terminal.

I'm not in front of a terminal.

So there's no terminal I can reset.

Where am I?

This treasure chest... I've opened it before.

But after I opened it...

What was it... ?

Macha...?

Hey wait!

What should I do?

Do I... open this?

I've been waiting for you for such a long time.

I need you...

...just as you need me.

Let us walk together.

As long as we walk together, I shall protect you.

Waiting... for a long time... ?

It's useless! I've set up a barrier.

You can't use your Sprite Ocarina!

Why'd you run?

Because it's fun.

Is that the only reason?

You're not satisfied?

If you tell me about the cat PC, I'll let your antics slide.

I have nothing to tell.

I'll use my sword to make you talk if I must!

Do as you wish.

Get up!

Wh-what is this? Since when is there such a monster?

''As long as we walk together, I shall protect you.''

I'm here...

That's right. I'm here.

Instead of thinking that I can't log out, or think that I don't want to.

It's nothing.

After all, then I don't have to retun to that ludicrous world.

This way...

...things aren't so bad.
