01x10 - Let's Go Tomb Raiding!!

[bunniefuu]

This place's full of bugs. I hate it.

Hey, don't you think it's too early

for us to fight the Area Boss?

What are you so scared of?

We made it this far, didn't we?

But

C'mon, I'm sure we can do this

What's this?

It's so sticky! I can't get this off!

You okay?

S-Soma

Up there

Huh?

A-A CLOWN?!!!

There are countless number

of video games in this world.

However, most of them

gets buried under many others.

Standing atop of those many titles

is this Full-Dive VR game that has

over thirty million players worldwide.

The game that earned

the reputation of being a god-tier game,

Shangri-La Frontier.

The boy who loves trash game,

Rakuro Hizutome

challenges the god-tier game,

Shangri-La Frontier!

What kind of adventure

awaits him in his path?

I throw away my defense

and put on my bird mask headgear

I'm a hustler

My point only goes to my luck stats

Parry parry

now this is my style

playing broken games all night

who's that knight?

Broken game is sickness

toxic scattered, now I'm a patient

My heart is beating almost twice as fast

The chaos wither get it bite that bug

Terrible gimmick

new game a.k.a suicide??

I don't give a damn

(Do it, Do it)

No, not yet NO it's not enough

(Do it, Do it) NO it's not enough

I still can go

Everyone looks dirty to me

Everything looks broken to me

we can go, we can go

to that mountain top, not afraid to drop

this world is going to be mine duh

Hm?

The Area Boss in this place

was a spider, right?

That's right.

It's called a Clown Spider.

That must means we're near.

All right!

Hm? I can't enter?

(Other Players Are Fighting The Area Boss)

Looks like other Adventurers

are fighting it.

Oh?

Dang it! I have to climb up there again?

This boss is such a pain!

Just you wait!

I can still turn this around in

That Adventurer just got flattened!

Rest in peace.

Well then, it's open.

Let's go.

You got over it really fast!

They'll just respawn in Thirdrema.

Don't be so dramatic.

But thanks to him,

I got some valuable info.

Emul, you stay here and provide

a play-by-play or something, okay?

Hm?

I'll beat Clown Spider all by myself

without dying or taking damage!

You sure you want me

to just stand back and watch?

Yeah!

Let's brawl, Area Boss!

I'm up against a spider.

The higher up I got,

the denser the webs get.

I've got some new skills after

leveling up in the arena.

What can I use in this situation?

Skill,

One-Boat Leap!

I bet that was an insta-k*ll,

but I've already seen it.

Sunraku-san, up ahead!

You will stick to the webs

Wait, you're not?!

The horizontal radial lines

of spider webs aren't sticky.

So, while you still need to be careful

if you keep an eye out

Skill, Accel Lv.6!

you can leap on them

just like on the forest!

A-Amazing!

Your time relying on

falling objects is over,

Clown Spider!

(Area Boss

Clown Spider)

Loop

Slash!

(Loop Slash)

Right leg down!

Rush Slash!

Falling from this height

would deal quite the fall damage!

Oh?

Not on my watch!

Th-That has to hurt a lot

I doubt that will be enough to k*ll it.

Aha!

I've got an idea.

Woohoo! It's so big,

it's such an easy target to hit!

I sure got it right where I want it to be!

Wow! This so great, Sunraku-san!

You will really beat it unscathed!

Whoop!

Hmm

Well, this is fun in its own way

Huh?

Sunraku-san?

If I can't even beat

a mere Area Boss head-on

I will never

be good enough to take down Lycagon!

(Area Boss

Clown Spider)

(Defeated)

Sunraku-san!

You see that, Emul?

What?

I beat it like I promised

No damage, no death!

Yessir!

You're a man of his words!

Heh, this feels a little underwhelming.

And quick to get carried out, too.

Oh?

Oh, a message from Pencil Knight?

Oh, about that thing.

Since "that" Sunraku

started playing,

I figured it'd be

a good time to try this

But for all the talk about how bosses

are tough to solo, this was a letdown.

So show me some challenge, okay?

(Massive Summer Update!) (The Severed Sea)

(The New Land) (The Frontier Fleet)

Oh, you two became Friends? Good for you.

Yes. I mustered up the courage and

sent him the request, and he accepted.

I was able to do it

because you pushed my back.

But Hizutome-kun is really amazing!

Not only he didn't go to the first town,

he also brought along

an untameable Vorpal Bunny!

Oh, now that's a trash game

fanatic for you.

Welcome!

He hasn't come here these several days.

Maybe he's playing SLF right now.

He's unpredictable, so maybe he will be

the first one to defeat a Unique Monster!

That's too much, even for him.

That actually sounds likely for him.

Oh, it's Katzo's interview.

He's such a trash-talker.

I bet they had to edit out a ton.

SLF massive summer update

The Severed Sea

The Frontier Fleet

A new continent and new job

This must be it.

The thing Pencilgon

talked about yesterday.

Well, well!

It's great to see you two!

How long has it been since the three

of us gathered here in Unite Rounds?

I guess not since that time you morons

decided to storm

my castle and take on

the eighty players guarding it, huh?

Just so you know, that was Sunraku's idea.

He said let's assassinate

the king cuz it'll be fun.

Hey, you were rarin' to do it, too!

Yeah, man. That was so much fun!

Especially when she's

being such a sore loser

and blew up the whole castle

along with of her lackeys in it!

I bet people will keep talking about

that "Pencil Dynasty Incident"

until the day this game's out of service!

You betcha!

To top it all off, despite claiming

only living for the moment,

she's still butthurt about it inside!

She even make excuses

when nobody's listening.

Since we're now all good with each other,

may I get to business already?

Yes, ma'am!

Good.

Since you gathered us,

it's not just invite us

to play SLF with you, right?

That's right.

I don't have a lot of time,

so let me go straight to the point.

How about the three of us

beat the Unique Monster,

Wethermon the Tombguard together?

What?! Unique Monster?!

Unique Monster?

As in the same category as

that Lycagon Sunraku fought?

You mean it?!

I'm super interested in Uniques!

I mean it.

One of the Seven Colossi

in Shangri-La Frontier

Wethermon the Tombguard.

Hold up!

I thought this'd be about taking on

some high-level clan or something!

You said "three of us," right?

Yeah.

Do we have a chance?

I don't know anything

about that Wethermon guy.

He's not the kind of guy

you can take down with numbers.

In fact, I tried with a team of

Ashura Kai's fifteen best members,

but we got beaten up.

So it's one of those type that got

higher HP and ATK against more players?

There's that, yeah.

But this is as far as I can tell you.

The rest is after you agree to join.

We only have one chance.

We'll take action in two weeks.

At night, right after they push out

the massive summer event.

That'll be the date.

So what'll it be?

Right after an update?

We've only just started SLF,

so why is she inviting us?

If she wants a small team of elites,

she should just get some max-level guys.

If it's level you're worrying about,

it's not that big of a problem.

What I need is pure gaming skill.

That's why

I need Katzo-kun's

skill as a pro gamer

and Sunraku-kun's skill

as a trash game player.

You sure it's right to lump "pro gamer"

and "trash game player" together?

Keep away, man.

You'll cheapen the title.

What did you just say?!

So, what do you say?

If you want some extra reward,

I'm all ears.

Well, I get what you're going at.

But you're still hiding something,

aren't you?

If you want us to take a bite

you better tell us about that, too.

Well then, let's discuss our strategy.

Thank you very much!

E-Excuse me!

Huh

H-Hizutome-kun.

H-Hello!

Huh?

Hmm?!

If I remember correctly

We were in the same class

last year right?

Umm

Ga Ga something

Her name her name!

What "ga" was it again?!

Wait, wait! C'mon brain!

Ga Ga

Is it Iga? Koga?

Ah! Right!

Saiga-san!

Ah! Y-Yes

Yes!

I'm Rei Saiga.

Woohoo!

What a coincidence

running into you here, huh?!

Right, yeah.

O-On your way back

from buying stuff?

Oh, yeah.

And you?

I'm going to practice after this

Practice?

It's for Judo

Ah, no. It's uh um

Oh, right. I heard about you

from Mana-san at the Rock Roll.

She said you started playing

Shangri-La Frontier!

Oh, yeah.

I picked it up.

S-So

I-I'm

I'm playing it, too

Oh?

Even a wellborn girl like her plays it?

SLF's appeal is pretty crazy, huh.

I-If you like

M-Maybe we can play together!

Oh, sorry. I've got a message.

Excuse me.

Okeh!

G-Go ahead!

Hm?

"Hurry"?

I knew it, it's Pencilgon.

She won't even let me

buy stuff in peace?

Whoa! Stop spamming me!

Gosh, you're scaring me!

Sorry, Saiga-san.

My friend needs me in a hurry. Bye!

See you later!

O-Okay!

Sorry to interrupt you!

My heart was racing!

We get to talk a lot today!

But Hizutome-kun bought

so many energy drinks

Maybe he's planning to play

SLF for quite a while?

If so, maybe I can meet him soon.

Oh, I need to go to practice!

Since we met, maybe I should've

asked her in-game name.

Good morning, Sunraku-san.

Emul. Too close.

Yessir!

So, what's the plan for today?

Before that, I need to tell you

about something.

What is it?

Actually, in two weeks

I'm gonna be fighting this

"Wethermon the Tombguard" guy.

So while I'm at that, I'm thinking

of having you out of the party

What's the matter?

Did you say Wethermon?!!!

What?

I-I'll go tell Dad right away!

What's her deal?

I need to hurry and meet up

with Pencilgon after this.

Question.

Hm? What is it?

So we're going with

a party of three, right?

But I've got an NPC on my party right now.

What should I do with her?

Oh, that little bunny?

Bunny?

If you care for her

You should take her off your party.

What bunny?

What are you saying?

In SLF

once an NPC dies

Bad news!

they won't get respawned.

Dad!

I scream in envy so much it hurts

I cry that this is where it ends

It's going to change, I'll change it

I don't want to think

it's impossible anymore

The goal I set up is now

the starting line for me to run again

Hit me with that despair, it excites me

Telling me give it a go

I should be able to go as far as I want,

yet I mistake this to be my limit

Is getting an easy win

sometimes necessary?

It exhilarate me,

telling me to give it a go

I have a dream,

so even my complaints is not a joke

I scream in envy so much it hurts

I cry that this is where it ends

It's going to change, I'll change it,

I don't want to think

it's impossible anymore

I don't mind breaking if I can move on

I hate giving up even more

I'm going to make it come true,

make it a reality, I'm always serious

Make it so I'm only

a little away from obtaining it

Let me ace this even if it burns me

SLF Theater!

(#15 Answer In 5 Seconds, Pencilgon)

Mini!

(#15 Answer In 5 Seconds, Pencilgon)

(#15 Answer In 5 Seconds, Pencilgon)

(What do you like?)

Fireworks.

I like how they're pretty

and end gracefully.

(What do you dislike?)

Slugs.

Urgh, I just want to

exterminate them off this planet!

(What do you think about Sunraku-san?)

A freak.

Yeah, that's a compliment.

(What's your favorite

four characters idiom?)

"Cunning Trickery."

"Absolute Perfection."

"Fishing in Troubled Waters."

And then

(What nickname

would you give to yourself?)

"The Perfect Beauty."

(What is like a "Player k*ller"?)

A runway?

(Because?)

You can hear people scream in both.

But instead of scream of cheers,

what you hear when you k*ll players

are dying screams!
