Shangri-La Frontier (2023) s01e10 Episode Script
Let's Go Tomb Raiding!!
1
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-kill,
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 kill 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 Killer"?)
A runway?
(Because?)
You can hear people scream in both.
But instead of scream of cheers,
what you hear when you kill players
are dying screams!
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?
