01x11 - 511

[bunniefuu]

Yo! Yo, yo! Are you, like, awake?

SQ

Can you stand?

I'm back?

Hm? What do you mean by that?

Er, nothing

What are you doing here, SQ?

Hm? Setsu said I should come and get you,

since we're both Guard Duty.

Both Guard Duty?

Yup! We didn't leave the ship at Liu-An

during the whole Gnosia mess.

You and cute li'l SQ.

EPISODE 11: 511

This probably means there'll be

new information here again.

No! Why?

Why? You know why.

It's because I love you, Remmy.

Hm?

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.

I was just thinking they were

really pretty your nails.

Oooh! I know, right?

You've done well to notice, my good sir!

So who else is on board?

Huh? Um There's you, me, Setsu, Remmy

Jonas, Kukrushka, Chipie,

Shigemichi, and Yuriko.

Nine of us.

Two Gnosia have been detected,

and there is one each of the Engineer,

Doctor, and Guardian Angel.

Furthermore, as Yuri and SQ

remained on the ship as Guard Duty,

it is confirmed that they are human.

All right. Let's start the meeting.

Kukrushka and Jonas

Why do you know about Kukrushka?

I don't recall ever letting you meet her.

Since Kukrushka is here,

I should be able to ask Jonas about her

without him getting suspicious like before.

But

What should I ask?

I was told there were two of her

But does that mean this one is a doll, too?

First

If you have Engineer credentials,

make yourself known.

And do your sworn duty.

I'm the Engineer, bud.

I'll check out someone tonight

to see if they're a Gnosia.

W-Wait

I'm the Engineer.

So there's two of 'em.

And what about the Doctor?

No response, I see.

They do say that the deeper the river,

the more silent it flows

The Doctor is only able to use their ability

after someone is put into cold sleep.

It wouldn't be in their interest

to declare themselves right now.

It appears as though this is all of the

information we can currently obtain.

Now, how shall we proceed

with the festivities?

Well, why don't we ask the two

confirmed humans what they think?

There's not much I can say

But it's dangerous to freeze the Engineers

before we hear their reports.

Meaning

We'll be choosing from the remaining five

after excluding the Engineers and Guard Duty.

This is difficult. We can't clearly tell

anyone's suspicious with what we have.

The votes will probably be divided.

Kukrushka

Ah Even frozen, her beauty

remains unchanged.

As though it's been sealed

in ice forevermore.

Well, that's out.

Now that Kukrushka's been

put into cold sleep,

I won't be able to ask Jonas

about her in this loop.

The more I loop, the more

things I don't understand.

Yuriko is definitely hiding something

and I don't know why Kukrushka,

who's a doll, did what she did,

or why Remnan is always cowering in fear.

I still don't know any of those things.

Right now, I'm just going to have

to work hard to fill this thing up.

Yay, it's lovely Yuri!

SQ

Ooh, what's that thing? It's pretty!

Oh, uh

It's almost time for the warp

Yeah, I know.

But I thought we should have a

little chat before that, y'know?

So, you and I have been, like,

confirmed as humans, right?

That means we're soulmates that

don't have to suspect each other.

I see This is the first time SQ

and I have been on Guard Duty.

Does this mean the information

I'm supposed to find could be

What? Am I not good enough

to be your soulmate?

Then should we see how

far we can take this?

Huh? No, I

Oh, right

If I'm going to get information about SQ,

I need to be friendlier to her.

Y-Yeah! Let's take this as far as we can go!

Huh?

Huh? Did I say something wrong?

Your eyes are a bit scary

I was just kidding, y'know?

I didn't expect you to be, like,

so gung-h*, Yurinchy.

Yeah, never mind. See ya.

Argh! I'm such an idiot!

What the heck was I saying?!

Of course she was kidding!

How many times have

I talked to SQ before?!

That's right. SQ is always

joking around like that.

There's no way she'd be serious.

Ah, Chipie. Have you seen SQ?

Yeah, I did. I think she went

The shower room

This place again.

SQ? SQ?

Whoa!

Huh? What's up?

No! Wait! You've got the wrong idea!

I wasn't trying to

What? You interested in my bod, bud?

Yeah, whatever.

What's this?

Did you actually come

looking for cute li'l SQ?

Y-Yeah

Really? Why, though?

Er, well, you came to talk to me,

and I ended up saying something weird.

So I'm sorry.

So, who do you think is a Gnosia, Yurinchy?

Hm

Honestly, I think it's a bit

difficult to narrow it down yet.

How about you, SQ?

Oh, I dunno.

But out of the two Engineers,

I think Shigemichi's a li'l more sus.

Why is that?

Well, I don't think Remmy's

able to lie that boldly.

If he did, I think it'd

show more on his face.

It's all about love, baby.

That face I guess you do remember, Papa.

Papa

Hm? What?

Is Remnan your papa, SQ?

"Papa"? What do you mean by that?

Er, nothing. Never mind.

Right. You want to know

who I think is suspicious.

Jonas is sticking out for me.

You know

Yuri

You're hiding something, aren't you?

Huh?

You know way too much for an amnesiac.

You can't fool my nose, partner.

Y-You think so?

Anyway, if you don't wanna

tell me, you don't have to.

Who knows? We might end up

disappearing either way.

What should I do?

Even if I try to play it off,

I don't think I have the

acting skills to fully commit.

So you've collected all this knowledge

throughout your loops, Yurinchy?

Yeah.

So there's probably more

information and knowledge

that I don't know about

everyone on this world line.

Ah, so that must be why you

came to ask me about Remmy.

Huh?

Yeah, sorta

I see.

Well, I can't blame you.

It can be hard to tell what's a joke or not.

I guess no one would try to get close

to me without a reason like that.

Huh?

Okay! Then let me fill

you in on cute li'l SQ!

You seemed to be on the right

track about Remmy, too.

Really?

You seem happy.

Well, yeah. I've been curious

this whole time.

Okay, time for an SQ quiz!

First question, ba-bam!

Why is my name "SQ"?

Huh? SQ?

Is the S short for something?

Um, uh

Tick tock, tick tock

Bzzt! Yurinchy is out!

You won't be going to the next stage!

What?!

Just kidding.

Let's start counting

alphabetically from A, B, C

all the way to Z.

After that,

if we kept counting using

AA, AB, AC, and so on,

what number would SQ be?

Um There are 26 letters in the alphabet

So

It's 511.

Meaning cute li'l SQ over here is a spare.

The 511th created.

A spare?

Yep. More precisely

My mama Oh, her name is Manan

I'm the 511th new body for her to use

so that she can be young again.

That's me.

So you're not human?

It's really hard to define what

is human and what isn't

but if anything artificially created is out,

then I guess I'm not human.

I lived in an incubation pod

ever since I was born,

an empty vessel without a consciousness.

But when Mama tried to transfer her

own consciousness across

For some reason, the spare body had, like,

developed its own consciousness somehow.

So Mama's transfer failed.

The spare was left with, like,

its own newly born consciousness mixed

with bits and pieces of Mama's memories.

Combine all that together into one

half-baked existence, and what do you get?

This cute li'l SQ right here.

So when you said you were

only one year old

Hm?

Oh, I get it now.

That's something I told you

in another world line, right?

But thou speakest the truth!

No falsehoods detected.

I mean, just look how flawless my skin is!

You said that, too

Hm, you're making this difficult.

It's like you know everything about me.

That's not true. This is the

first time I'm hearing this.

I see.

I mean, I'm just a spare body, y'know?

A failed experiment that lied its way

into pretending to be human.

I doubt I'd wanna talk

about that in any world.

I'm sorry

Hey, no worries.

It is almost time for the warp.

Please return to your rooms.

Whoopsies. Looks like it's about that time.

Well? How's the Silver Key doing?

Oh

So all that's knowledge?

Yup.

Well, I'm glad.

I'm glad that knowledge from a phony

like me was still able to help you out.

Yeah

Depending on the loop,

you probably met some SQs

where Mama's transfer succeeded.

That might've been what Remmy was scared of.

Scared of?

So, like, some of Mama's

memories are still in my head.

And a lot of them are, like,

super intense and gory.

I used to be someone

else's property. Someone's pet.

So the one who owned Remnan was

Wait. "Papa"?

SQ?

I guess she left

I I feel like I did something

I really shouldn't have.

It is almost time for the warp.

Yuri, please return to your room.

I focused too much on just

gathering new information!

Yuri, for your safety,

please return to your room.

Warp commencing in five,

four, three, two, one

S

Whoa!

Ow

SQ

LeVi! Do you sense SQ?

I do indeed sense SQ's presence.

Thank goodness.

Yuri

SQ! I need to talk to you.

What's this? Why so serious?

Are you about to confess

your feelings to cute li'l SQ?

No, that's not it

Unfortunately, the meeting's about to begin.

Ms. LeVi's super strict,

so we can't be late.

So Jonas has disappeared.

Okay, then I'll start things off.

I'm the Doctor. Is anyone

else going to claim that?

I figured as much.

What's that supposed to mean?

I investigated Kukrushka, who was

sent into cold sleep yesterday.

She was a Gnosia.

Oho

So that's why no one else

claimed Doctor besides me.

Because there's only one more Gnosia left.

I see. And since he already proclaimed

himself the Engineer yesterday

he can't claim he's also the Doctor.

So That means that the last remaining

Gnosia is either Shigemichi or me

That is indeed what that means.

W-Wait. That's not the only possibility.

Precisely.

It could be that Kukrushka,

who was frozen the first day,

was the real Doctor, and Setsu

You might be a Gnosia

pretending to be the Doctor.

I see. I guess that's also a possibility.

Man, what a pain.

Yuriko does have a point.

But

If either SQ or I disappear, I won't be able

to talk to her in this world line anymore.

Yuri

I can't deny that what Yuriko

described is a possibility.

But Let's say that Setsu is the real

Doctor and Kukrushka was a Gnosia.

That would mean our victory

has already been decided.

Huh? Why's that?

LeVi, show us yesterday's voting results.

Displaying now.

I see.

Shigemichi and Kukrushka voted for me

Remnan voted for Kukrushka.

There's no way a Gnosia would

vote for another Gnosia here.

Which confirms that Remnan is human and

Wait a minute!

It could just as easily be the opposite!

What if Setsu and Remnan are the Gnosia?

True, that possibility isn't zero. But

Setsu voted for Yuriko,

and Remnan voted for Kukrushka.

If Setsu and Remnan were both Gnosia,

they most likely would have voted

for the same person on the first day,

when the votes were most easily divided,

to minimize the chance of being voted out.

W-Well

I believe that you are the remaining Gnosia.

It is almost time for voting to commence.

The Gnosia presence has been eliminated.

So we survived?

Yeah.

Right-o.

Then let's feast until we can feast no more!

SQ.

SQ!

SQ!

SQ!

This is a hologram

You forgot this.

I'm surprised you knew which was me.

I'm sorry.

Jeez, you don't need to apologize!

I wish I had a better idea of what to say

But all I can really do

is tell you how I feel.

Wh-What?

There's something I really

wanted to say to you.

You're not some failed experiment or lie, SQ.

You're not just some spare.

Hmm, I appreciate the thought,

but the truth is what it is, y'know?

In reality, cute li'l SQ

is indeed just another spare.

But I was able to find you

out of all these clones, SQ.

You're not just some spare.

I've met you many, many times

across many, many loops.

To me, you're not just a spare. You're SQ.

You're not the fake to

your mother's original.

You're the original you.

Oh? What's this?

Did you fall for cute li'l SQ?

I dunno, though. Yurinchy,

you're a bit too serious for me.

I'm glad I got to know more about you, SQ.

Because you always tried to

hide yourself behind the lies.

I finally got to meet the real you.

I was able to catch you.

You're about to loop, aren't you, Yurinchy?

You're gonna meet all kinds of SQs,

including ones where Mama's

transfer succeeded, right?

Then lemme just give you a warning.

Ready? Never ever trust cute li'l SQ.

She Manan is a natural-born liar.

So make sure you don't fall

for a liar like me again, 'kay?

SQ

But also

I hope you don't ever forget

THIS cute li'l SQ right here.

Yeah, I promise you. I'll never forget you.

This is, like, no fair! Making a girl cry

Just go! Scram already! Shoo!

SQ

No! Stay here with me!

Yuri

Yuri

Yuri

I love you, dang it!
