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?

Well um, you know what...

You stay quiet, Bear.

Oh, fine.

You need to give me a proper...

...explanation of why you did what you did.

I won't give up until I get a convincing story.

As I've been saying, the fact that the information...

...got leaked to the Crimson Knights was an accident.

What kind?

I don't know.

In the first place, I heard the story of the heavy swordsman toting...

...the monster around from someone else.

Even if the Knights knew about it, I wouldn't be surprised.

I think THAT story is suspicious to begin with.

Does such a swordsman really exist?

I just heard about it, I haven't seen him.

So I can't say for sure.

Somehow, I just can't trust you on that...

I think that's enough.

Not yet.

I hate to say this but...

What?

You're just taking your anger out on me.

Wh-what are you saying?

You feel guilty because you were the one that...

...asked Tsukasa to show up there.

You're blaming me to hide your guilt.

BT, you're going too far!

Nothing good comes of bickering about what's already happened.

Besides, shouldn't we think about what to do from now on?

The answer to that is obvious!

Rescue Tsukasa!

I will go alone.

Did you not hear me?

I wish to speak with that person alone.

Understood?

I apologize for our rudeness.

Because I don't have enough power,

I made you go through a terrible ordeal.

It's just... It's just that I wanted to speak with you.

But now that I have the chance, I don't know where to begin.

Smells nice.

Your perfume.

You can tell?

Not just the scent. I feel it too.

Pain!

All of it! I feel it all.

You do? Even though you're inside a game?

I guess this is something besides that for me.

Do you think I'm lying to you?

No...

That's...

...tough.

Huh?

What are you planning to do now?

You're the one who determines that now, right?

Besides, I can't get out of here anyway.

If you're not too reckless, we have no reason to detain you further.

Reckless?

That monster you had with you.

If you leave me alone.

If you refrain from bothering me, I won't do anything.

Please promise me.

The same goes for you.

I will do everything in my power to do so.

And one more thing.

Don't bother asking why.

I don't know myself.

Then, for example...

Do you know anything about the ''Key of the Twilight''?

Not at all.

This is the first I've heard of it.

I see.

You're there, aren't you? Just hurry up and get out here.

You called?

I get it, you're AMAZING okay.

So would you just make a NORMAL appearance for once? Jeez.

This is normal for me.

Yeah, whatever. Like I care.

But you're the one who sold out Tsukasa to...

...the Crimson Knights, aren't you?

''Sold out''?

Nope.

I don't believe you.

I wasn't paid for it, so you can't say I sold him out.

Why you little!

If you're not careful, you'll cut your own feet!

Shut up! Where's Tsukasa?

What?

You wanna know?

Of course!

At any cost?

Yeah!

See ya!

Huh? Come on, wait a second!

What is it?

All right, all right. What do you want me to do?

Help me out!

''Do not let anyone in while we are talking.''

Those were Lady Subaru's words.

You're not worried?

What can he do inside the barrier?

Can I test it?

What?

I'll...

...betray you.

It's over.

Who gave you permission to come in here?

I did.

All the guys outside...

...should be frantically trying to reconnect right about now.

What a horrible thing to do!

Give me Tsukasa?

Your request is denied.

Well, I figured you'd say that.

I'm taking him anyway.

It's all right for me to leave, isn't it?

Yes, but...

Then, I'll leave with him.

Good thinking!

You can't! It doesn't have to be this way!

Doing this now will surely create problems in the future!

Let's get out of here fast! In either case, he's coming with me.

I'll be going now.

Tsukasa!

Don't chase me.

You heard him! Don't chase us!

Hold on... just a minute!

Run!

If you set me on fire, I won't be responsible for what happens!

Go on ahead!

We meet again.

Stand still!

You wanna be caught again thanks to him?

You have such power, but... what a shame.

Why don't you want to use your power to do good?

You're an anachronist.

Sorry to startle you. Come with me.

Are you mad at me?

I guess I can't help it...

I didn't think things would go turn out like that...

I have nothing to do with the Knights.

If nothing else, I want you to believe that.

Do you think that saying that makes me selfish?

Hey, do you not even want to talk to me?

Is it okay now?

Can I go now?

Do you hate being with me that much?

Yeah.

I want to be by myself.

I don't want to talk to anyone, and I don't want to see anyone.

I see.

I see. But, can you wait just a little longer?

Huh?

Sora... The guy who rescued you will be here.

So that's why.

If I'm with him, I'd disappear as soon as I got out of the barrier.

That's why it was you.

That's not it.

So you're going to hand me over to that guy now.

That's not it! I keep telling you that's not it.

I'm concerned about your well-being.

Liar!

Everyone is thinking only of themselves.

Nobody is thinking about me at all!

You don't understand what I'm saying, do you?

I... I don't even know about myself anymore.

I don't want to know about other people!

Wait!

I had no time today, so I called it a draw.

Crim is strong!

Where's Tsukasa?

He's gone.

You're joking!

You just missed him. I guess nobody can catch him now.

You're completely useless!

We should reissue a warrant...

...for his arrest immediately, as well as one for Sora.

There is no need for that.

I will see how things go for a while.

Please! Please tell me the reason why.

I have an idea.

I would like to hear it then.

It's not the right time for that.

Even if I spoke to you about it...

...you would only raise your voice in objection.

At this rate, the power of the Crimson Knights...

...and the players' trust in them, will crumble.

Power that stems only from form will lose their trust even faster.

Lady Subaru...

What were you talking about with that boy for such a long time?

He...

Tsukasa, was already a prisoner...

...even before we bound and captured him.

Silver Knight!

Become stronger.

That's none of your business.

That's true. But have you forgotten?

I love to butt in to other people's business.

Admit your weakness and change it into strength.

As you are right now, you won't be able to protect Subaru.

You don't need to listen to the ranting of an ordinary player.

I will return to Mac Anu, the Aqua Capital.

Yes!

I didn't think I would regret...

...quitting the Crimson Knights as much as I do now.

Was I being a little too hasty?

Maybe the feeling of wanting to speak with Tsukasa was a little too intense.

Things sometimes happen that way.

But... That time with BT, and this time... I got a double dose of it.

It depresses me.

Bear, why do you cover for her?

Cover? Me?

Because, you were the first to realize...

...the story about a monster-toting heavy swordsman was fake...

...but you haven't told her.

It wasn't that I realized it. I just said that it was a possibility.

In the end, it was a lie to lure Tsukasa into a trap.

Yeah.

Hey. But still, why?

What happens if you interrogate BT?

Interrogate? Oh, you mean, grill her for answers?

It'll get us nowhere, since she'll pretend she doesn't know anything.

I'm sure BT would laugh.

Bear is in the square.

You logging out?

Yeah, I'm kinda tired already today...

The Board...

Huh?

You should take a look at it.

Is it about Tsukasa?

No. Apparently there was another one of those monsters.

And this time, it was just a monster. It's different from Tsukasa's guardian.

It's reviving!

Do these monsters have such abilities?

Isn't this... bad?

Hey! Run for it!

One on this server. One on Dun Loireag.

And another on Carmina Gadelica.

And, all of the monsters in question appeared at almost the same time.

That is what we are led to believe if we combine the reports.

What do you think of this?

Perhaps it is seeking Tsukasa?

He is already outside the barrier.

Furthermore, he only carried one of them with him at all times.

Then, they are holding a grudge...

...that we held him captive and are doing this...

Silver Knight.

Are you still saying such things?

This is something that is part of an even bigger flow of things.

And he might be the first one swallowed up by it.

You mean, he is a victim as well?

Are you saying that you agree with that, Lady Subaru?

Come to think of it, those two -

Bear and Mimiru - were saying basically the same thing.

Those two always seemed to be speaking on his behalf.

To go along with their idea...

Right now, we don't even...

...have an idea of where this large flow is coming from or going.

But there are those who have noticed it.

I'm afraid that the descendants of Fianna...

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

I shall give you new orders.

From now on, there is no need to pursue Tsukasa.

Are you saying that we should quietly stand by...

...and watch while he does as he pleases?

I'm sure that will not be the case.

About the monsters...

...please be sure to reinforce your watches and warn the players.

Tell them not to fight the monsters if they encounter them.

They should leave the area immediately.

Will the players be satisfied with that?

I'm sure we will have to come up with one reason or another.

And, one more thing...

This job will be very abstract...

...as I have no idea how to even begin at this time.

However, we must investigate the true identity...

...of the flow that involved Tsukasa.

Is there really a need for that?

Yes. I have a feeling that someday, perhaps very soon...

...it will become a bigger flow that involves the entirety of The World.

I'm not going to go anywhere anymore.

I'm not going to do anything anymore.

I don't want to hear anything that anyone has to tell me any more.
