Visions of light

Sweeter delight

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?

Tsukasa, I was so surprised.

Hm?

That you died.

Oh?

I was more surprised that you came back to life, though.

Hey!

What?

Tsukasa, when youre able to log out...

...do you want to meet on the outside?

Outside?

Yeah, lets go to Shimokita together.

Shimokita?

Lets go to the stores that you like and stuff.

Whats... that?

Shimokita.

Shimokitazawa.

What is that?

Oh, sorry. I have to log off for a minute.

My mother is calling me and stuff...

Mo..ther.

And thats why you called us?

Well... it was scary.

Wheres Bear?

Who knows? Im not his manager.

Do you really expect people to answer you every time you call them?

This is The World.

A virtual world in a game.

Dont bring reality into a game.

No! Tsukasa is...

Dont mix up the player who is playing Tsukasa in reality with the character.

But Tsukasa is not just another character!

He can feel and be in pain?

Yeah... theres that too.

But its not like that.

Then what is it?

Its just... scary.

What should I do?

Theres nothing you can do or should do.

Thats...

Thats why you run away.

No...

Who sent the mail?

This world will disappear if you unplug it.

After all, thats what it is. And if you misunderstand that...

...the other party will be annoyed by that kind of pressure as well.

Misunderstanding or not, as long as were here it is reality.

No matter how many times you can redo...

...I still dont like to die.

Why do you...

Just forget about it!

Rather childish.

Shes too naive.

Im being considerate by not saying childish .

Mimiru is actually smarter than she looks.

So what?

I think Mimirus got the advantage in this case, though.

In Tsukasas case, I dont know about separating online and offline.

You two must really...

...want to stay involved with the character called Tsukasa.

I wont stop you. Not now...

Re-enact in this virtual reality what you couldnt do...

...the fulfillment of paternal obligation.

I apologize. I have my next appointment.

Tell him I said hi.

Its Crim, right?

Youre wrong.

Youre like a kid.

You might actually be pretty young.

If youre here, just say so.

You dont like to be surprised?

I dont like to show my back.

Youre belligerent today.

Im not going to fight with you.

Since it would be a problem if you cant get information?

Uh-uh. Its because youre the annoying type.

Oh, did I hurt you?

You call me and thats your attitude?

Because, information. You dont have any now.

What, youve never realized it?

Your attitude is so different when youre on top and when youre not.

Its so obvious.

Is it all right?

Hm?

Is it all right to show your hand?

The next time you want information...

...youre going to be in trouble.

Thats not a problem. Youll want to talk about it.

Well see about that.

Well, good luck. Even if youre annoying...

...as long as youre useful, its fine with me.

Bye-bi...

Whatever!

Hmph...

No answer again?

Yeah.

I see.

I hate BT.

She acts so grown-up. Its like shes so high and mighty...

...and can do everything by herself and stuff.

Not really.

But...

BT, shes...

Do you want to know why her name is BT?

No thanks!

Bear, why did you use Bear?

I just...

No, its all right.

Im going to look for Tsukasa a bit more.

He usually comes eventually. Im sure this time...

Later!

What is it?

Youre still at work?

Yeah... I am.

How much longer until youre out?

Can we meet somewhere? I can even go by your office.

Wait!

I cant answer it if you ask me all of a sudden.

Its all right if you dont want to.

Thats not it! Is it something you cant talk about here?

What happened? Is it the Key of the Twilight?

It doesnt hurt to meet on the outside once in a while.

Outside?

I knew I would have to say this eventually.

BT, I think you are a great partner.

What?

But, I have no intentions of bringing that relationship outside of here.

Then, you shouldnt have come when I first asked you.

I agree. But I was the one who made the final decision to meet off line.

If you misunderstood that as something else, I apologize.

I didnt misunderstand!

I am interacting only with the character called BT.

Thats true. You are that kind of person.

A game is a game and reality is reality.

You dont bring reality into the game.

Yes.

The only exception is...

Subaru.

Im sorry but Im going back to work.

I understand.

I trust BT as a partner. Its a first since I left the Crimson Knights.

Yeah.

I thought I understood.

Im such an idiot.

Im glad. I thought you might not come.

I cant possibly ignore a call from Lady Subaru of the Crimson Knights.

Please leave the two of us alone for a while.

Thats...

This is a personal matter.

I dont want to command you for something like this.

As you wish.

Lets go.

Is it a favor for Crim?

Then its not unrelated to the Knights.

It is not Crim.

Then its Bear.

I thought so. A favor thats related to Tsukasa.

If that wasnt the case, Lady Subaru wouldnt come see me.

Thats not...

If you want me to investigate what happened to Tsukasa...

...you are gravely mistaken.

Because of Tsukasas personality...

...he does not interact with people by his own volition.

Mimiru, Bear and you are the few friends that Tsukasa has.

Ive never thought of Tsukasa as a friend.

Im sure Tsukasa also doesnt like to have...

...his relationships defined by a third party.

Im asking you not as Subaru of the Knights but just as Subaru...

Just as Subaru? Thats a nice phrase.

Subaru of the Crimson Knights.

If you think you can deny that position now then...

...I overestimated you.

The reason why Bear asked. The reason Im here...

...and the reason why you ask favors is all because of your current position.

And now you want to be just Subaru?

I...

Thought it would be good, right?

But if thats not conceit, what is?

The image of the leader of the Crimson Knights...

...ordering a regular player does not change.

Watch what you say!

Is this the first time that someone has refused you?

How could someone oppose me?

I can only laugh.

You really didnt think you could stay a princess forever, now did you?

Its a good opportunity, think about it.

Whats that?

You shouldnt worry about her.

What she said was from hostility.

Hostility...

No matter what Lady Subaru could have said, hostility is the first emotion.

She is envious. Its only jealousy.

I dont have anything to be envious of.

Bear?

Um, excuse me.

We just started and were looking for someone...

...whos been playing this for a while.

Do you know any dungeons for beginners?

There are enough of those out there.

We really arent any good anywhere and we were so lost.

I know we should do it ourselves but...

...can you come along with us?

Hey, that hurt my feelings.

Well, what do you want to do then?

All right.

Wow! For real?

Can I call you sis?

Didnt your mommy tell you that you shouldnt go with strangers?

This is becoming very mundane.

Oh? Are you making excuses now?

If you want to deceive people, you should be more canny.

Just a warning.

Hey, are you really powerful? Like the Knights?

Why are you asking? Do you think I will tell you the truth?

Shes bluffing. If she was actually as powerful as she says she is...

...she wouldnt have come along.

Hey, you decided to die yet?

Who knows?

Thats...

Uh-oh...

Were you preoccupied?

I guess I should thank you.

Why? I was only looking.

Because you helped me.

You were willing to get killed.

Can I ask you one thing?

How does it feel?

Um... I mean... as a character that can feel...

...how does it feel to experience death in this world?

Guess who?

Someone comes from behind and suddenly covers your eyes...

He doesnt even say guess who...

And then suddenly takes the hands away.

But, theres no one there.

Theres only you with a little less of yourself just standing there.

Its not like theres something to it...

...and its not that big of a deal, I think.

Its lettuce.

Lettuce?

Theres not enough taste to dislike it...

...and theres no smell to it. Most people say that.

But I dislike it because I dislike it.

Are you... pitying me?

Yeah, right.

Hey!

Over here, over here!

Jeez! I was so worried!

Why?

What do you mean?

I saw BT the other day.

When?

I dont know, but...

A day or two after I met Mimiru.

Last week.

Why?

Oh. Its just that she hasnt accessed in a while.

Forget about BT.

I dont dislike her that much.

Hey, did something happen with BT?

No.

I mean, even her characters name is...

Oh yeah, werent you saying something?

Where the name BT comes from?

She took out the least favorite...

...food from her favorite food or something like that.

What is that? Some kinda riddle?

A BLT sandwich.

Bacon, lettuce and tomato?

Take out the lettuce and its BT.

Why?

It doesnt have enough taste and smell to dislike it.

Thats what... everyone says.

High School Reunion

...Guess who?

I guess Ill be...

...BT a little while longer.
