(Searching)

(Searching) Miss Nikola suddenly became strange.

Inside Miss Nikola, an NPC,

there is a Global AI, Tesla, who controls the entire game.

Tesla commanded me to remove the ill-behaved debuggers.

So we came to a new village, but…

Hey, you two!

Who are you?

Where did you come from?

Don't move.

If you make any rash moves,

don't blame me for being rude.

Everyone, come quickly!

- What's wrong? - What happened?

- Are they suspicious? - Everything okay?

This is…

Excuse me.

Is this gesture in trend?

What do you mean?

Wait, Miss Nikola.

This is a bug.

The people in this village are still in the T-pose.

T-pose?

(What is the T-pose?) It's the basic stance of 3D characters.

Usually, movements are added on top of this basis.

They haven't incorporated motion modules.

So they float in the air when they move.

Oh.

Anyway, could you please help me compile a list of villagers?

Then we'll investigate those in this pose.

Okay.

I'm sorry for disturbing you.

Um,

we don't mean any harm.

We are official Seekers conducting investigations.

Sorry, we misunderstood.

Enjoy your time in the village.

Great, it's cleared up.

Yeah.

(Bite) Although I still have many questions,

Although I still have many questions,

what we have to do remains the same.

Let's finish them one by one.

Are you awake, Ru?

Good morning, Mr. Amano.

(Quality Assurance in Another World)

(No.4 Isora Amano)

(Wanted)

Sixty-two.

Sixty-three.

The fifth check is complete.

Nothing is missed.

Thank you.

The error rate is five out of five.

(Repeat)

Embed it in the slate.

Teleport.

This way, the bug is reported to the development team.

They will notify us after the fix.

We will check tomorrow morning if the bug is fixed.

Okay.

Finally, a bed.

I'm so happy.

(Repair Status: Repair Completed)

It's been fixed.

Let's check the villagers' actions again.

Okay.

(1 Find bugs, 2 Report,) Reporting and confirming repairs are included in the job.

(3 Confirm Repair) They're fundamental parts of debugging work.

I see.

Good morning.

Good morning, Ru.

This is for today.

Thank you.

Mr. Amano, you've stayed up late again, right?

Indeed.

But I did take a short nap.

Are you going out?

We've run out of paper. I'll go buy some.

Some traveling merchants have come, right?

Be careful on the road.

I'll be right back.

If there's a medicine that can cure your legs, I'll buy it as well.

Is the T-pose fixed?

Mr. Haga, look at that.

He's not fixed?

Did I miss him?

But I was very careful when checking.

I have never seen these two before.

Could they be one of those?

Excuse me, may I ask…

Miss Nikola, step back!

He's gone.

Is he using a debug stone?

That's not debug mode.

It's invisibility.

He used invisibility magic.

Magic?

At first, he was in a T-pose.

But after we spoke to him, he reverted to a normal posture.

(Furred Race = Feline) Is it because he's from the furred race?

(Furred Race = Feline) It could have something to do with his race.

There are clear footprints left on the ground.

It's my first time seeing invisibility magic,

but is it normal to leave such traces?

Note it down.

Even a small flaw in the image must not be overlooked.

Okay.

Although it will annoy the developers.

He doesn't seem to intend to attack us.

Anyway, let's catch up and ask.

With Mr. Haga, there's a lot of crawling to do,

but it must be necessary training for a Seeker.

It's not.

The footprints lead inside this house.

Yes.

Who are you?

Ah, sorry.

Um, did you see a furry adventurer come in?

Don't you think it's rude to barge in?

Ah, we…

Please leave.

Mr. Haga, she's right, it's very rude.

It's just a game, but they made it very realistic in places like this; that's troublesome.

Isn't that the paper used to report bugs?

So- Sorry, this…

(Mom, I...) (I'm not going to job hunt...) (I'm going to make a living through games.)

Manga?

Give it back.

This is my possession.

How did you get these…

- Miss Nikola… - Don't move.

If you make a move,

I'll slit her throat.

Miss Nikola.

Tell the president

I won't hinder him.

Stop pestering me.

I've given him the debug stone.

He should be satisfied now.

Did you just say debug stone?

May I ask if you are a debugger?

Who exactly are you two?

- We are… - Don't move.

Wait, we are not your enemies.

Do you see the debug stone on me?

You can take it if it assures you.

Everyone,

can you stop making a fuss in someone else's home?

I see.

The villagers' T-pose was fixed because you submitted a report.

It's no easy task to tally so many people.

Miss Nikola helped me with it.

Sakai and Sumida, whom you met in Adan, were my former colleagues.

So those guys at Play Co., Ltd. are still the same old.

The president you mentioned earlier is also from Play Co., Ltd.?

Yes.

They talked about checking console commands,

in reality, they're just doing whatever they want.

I couldn't stand them, so I left.

And you came to this remote place.

By the way, Mr. Amano, are you a professional manga artist?

If I were, I wouldn't need to work as a debugger.

Ah, that's true.

It's all for me.

Mr. Amano has always been creating wonderful stories for me,

who can't go outside.

Ru, you don't need to tell them that.

But…

She's an NPC, right?

Ru is the NPC for the side quest 'Tell Me A Story'.

She has the ability to evaluate stories.

Automatically generating different side quests based on different NPCs

is one of the special features of this game.

That's right.

Enough of that.

I've decided to draw my favorite manga here.

Now that you know it, you can leave.

If you don't mind, join us on the debugging work.

Of course not.

But anyway,

I'm relieved to know that the T-pose can be fixed after all.

You're taking this too seriously.

You're Haga, right?

You're probably the only one still doing debugging work.

Seems like it.

Miss Nikola, what's wrong?

This is such a touching story.

It's amazing.

Please let me keep reading.

What's this about?

- Please. - Wait, stop this.

I really want to keep reading.

Miss Nikola can understand manga?

Sorry.

If possible, I'd also like to keep reading too.

Ah, what? You too?

Please?

I beg you.

Go back once you're done.

And wash your hands first.

I'll kill you if you dirty it.

This is amazing.

Did you draw all of these, Mr. Amano?

Yes.

(The Village of Oblivion: beyond the road connecting Bayle plateau and the royal capital,)

(there is the unknown 'Village of Oblivion'.)

(Occasionally, traveling merchants bring news from the outside to the village.)

(Wanted notices: anyone who violates the laws will be pursued by the guards,)

(even the King's Seekers.)

That's a huge volume.

Mr. Amano, how long have you been in this village?

Hmm, let me think.

About half a year.

(I'm gone. The stone slate is here. -- Amano) I resent the actions of the president and others,

so I left the city.

Those guys might come after me.

I need to find a place to hide.

Thinking about that is enough to wear me out.

A village in such a place?

What village is this?

There are bugs everywhere.

That also means the debuggers haven't discovered this place.

This place will do.

Who's there?

Ah, sorry.

I thought this was empty.

Are you a traveler?

Eh? This person isn't glitched.

If you don't mind,

could you tell me a hero's story?

Hmm? A side quest?

I've heard there are many stories in this world.

Mr. Traveler.

I am disabled and cannot go out.

If you have any good stories, I'm all ears.

Will this do?

It's weird to have an NPC read manga.

It's my first time reading such a fascinating work.

Is this a graphic story?

Ah, yes.

I can keep drawing.

Would you like to see it?

Of course.

I am looking forward to it.

Is that so?

So I've been hiding here and fixing up this house at the same time.

You know what happened next.

I see.

So you've been drawing manga here since then.

Mr. Amano, perhaps you and I are alike.

Without immersing ourselves in work, we can't keep our sanity in this world.

Not really.

I just like manga.

Haga, do you know of any medicines that can treat Ru's legs?

Sorry, I don't know either.

I see.

If only I could make it.

If her legs are healed,

she can go wherever she wants.

Mr. Amano.

I really want to know what happened next.

According to the peddler, they came here, right?

Yes.

They might have already been crushed.

Mr. Haga.

Darn it, what's going on?

Ru is upstairs.

- No. - Let me go, idiot!

Shh, be quiet.

Huh? That's strange.

They should be right here.

It doesn't matter now.

Let's go.

Mm.

I'm getting better and better at controlling the dragon.

It's quite fun.

Let's go.

I'll leave the village reconstruction to you all.

It's that debugger's voice.

We can't go out just yet.

I know, but I can't just hide here.

Again.

Please be safe, Ru.

I'm getting better and better.

Maybe I could debut as an artist now.

This story is also very exciting.

How will Dabid face the huge crisis?

You are the first one

who likes my work so much.

Your compliment

encouraged me greatly.

I can't stop drawing.

That's really great.

I…

I want to keep drawing here.

I want to keep living with you.

Just like this.

Me too.

In the future,

I want to always be the first to see your manga.

(If mother also died...) (What should I do?!)

Ru.

Ru!

Ama…

Mr. Amano…

Ru!

Miss Ru!

Okay, Ru, I'll get you out now.

It's all right now.

I'll make medicine for you right now.

My mixing skills are great.

Mr. Amano.

I am sorry.

The manuscript…

It's fine.

I can draw it again.

The follow-up…

I've imagined all sorts of follow-ups.

I'm really looking forward to what comes next.

It's fine, I'll draw it for you very soon.

It's unbelievable.

My legs feel so light.

Not heavy at all.

- Ru… - Are my legs cured?

At last,

I can

go outside

with you…

Ru.

Ru!

No!

No!

No!

Ru!

Listen, I'll tell you the follow-up.

Someone came to recruit the protagonist.

Wasn't the protagonist about to give up?

You must be curious who that is, right?

Right?

Hey, Haga, the medicine!

Hurry up!

Hey, say something.

Ru.

Ru!

I did it for you…

For you…

Mr. Haga, cure Miss Ru now…

This can't be cured with medicine.

There's nothing to be done.

The NPCs in this world are no different from ordinary people.

So…

Darn it, killing an NPC should put them on the wanted list.

Could it be lifted by using debug mode?

No, this bleeding effect is also problematic.

These issues need to be reported.

Ah, what should I do?

Haga.

Miss Tesla?

Now you realize how important it is to eliminate the nasty debuggers.

This is the result of letting them run amok.

Can you bring her back to life with the power of Global AI?

Stop talking nonsense.

The NPCs in this world only have one life.

Their lifecycle is the same as in the real world.

Mr. Amano, where are you going?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm going to kill them.
