Blitz
It appears that you have no feelings of hesitation.
I do not understand what you are saying.
Do you not
have any thoughts about Mamika?
I think it's a shame.
Is that all?
I've seen more than enough death
in the world I came from.
It must be the same for you.
Although I do understand that you cared about her.
Aren't you being too sentimental?
For someone who lost his daughter,
you speak so coldly.
Just as you know of my past,
I have also had the opportunity
to investigate your story.
That is all.
Miracles might really exist in this world.
I don't want to admit it, but gods really do exist.
But I'm too old for wishes that will never come true.
Do you mean to say you have no intention
of returning to your own world?
What are you saying?
That's why I've teamed up with that girl.
Of course I'm going back.
But I never imagined that my partner Ryusuke
was the main character.
I'm worried about him.
Oh, yeah, I've got to pay my rent.
You
Your words have a sense of emptiness.
I do not sense a feeling of longing
for your old world in your words
as I did from Mamika's.
You must grow accustomed to lying more.
Like the "black fox" who killed Mamika.
As far as I know,
the things people accused Shimazaki of
There's no way they could be true.
They had no evidence.
They made a big deal of it just for fun.
In the end, I couldn't do anything.
And
And
watching Shimazaki get put down
made me feel a little bit less lonely
about being left behind.
I felt such an ugly
sense of satisfaction.
MESSAGE FROM SETSUNA
It's been a while.
How are you?
We haven't talked a lot recently.
I've been going through a lot,
and I'm confused.
Drawing was fun before.
I didn't have a lot of friends,
so drawing pictures and writing songs
was something that was really important to me.
They made life fun for me.
But
Lately, I don't know anymore.
I haven't done any of the things
that people say I've done.
But I don't want to talk back
and fight about this.
But still, it hurts just a little.
I feel like drawing is bad.
Sota
Do you think it's all right if I draw?
Is it okay if I want to draw?
I'VE NEVER BEEN
IN THAT POSITION BEFORE. DON'T ASK ME.
There was no reply.
Well, yeah.
And then?
After a long time,
I realized that
I got a message from her on the website.
NEW MESSAGE FROM SETSUNA
Dear Sota
I had a lot of fun
at that event we went to together.
I hope you don't mind me saying this
That was the best memory from my life.
I was really happy.
Thanks.
This is my new story.
As I explained before,
I named her after a star.
This will probably be the last one.
I hope this girl will be loved.
Well, then
Goodbye.
ALTAIR WORLD ÉTUDE
I stopped contacting her after that.
I didn't know what to say to her.
And
Her words gave me such an ominous feeling
I didn't have the courage.
But after this started, I remembered.
That I do know her.
I know Altair.
SHIMAZAKI
Hello.
Is this Sota Mizushino?
Yes, that's me.
I'm sorry for calling you suddenly.
This is Yuna Shimazaki's mother.
And then I found out.
I found out
what happened to Shimazaki.
From my computer, from my phone
DELETE
I deleted everything related to her.
Her number, her SNS address, logs
Everything.
I wanted to forget.
My memories, the records
I wanted to make it all disappear.
I was scared of what I did,
and couldn't stand it.
I ran away.
That sounds bad.
Sota.
If I was in your position,
I might have done the same thing.
However
What you did I can't just say
"don't feel so bad about it."
If you were the type of person
that didn't feel guilty about it at all,
then I wouldn't want to talk to you.
Matsubara
You're right, Matsubara.
What I did to Shimazaki was horrible.
I think that Altair
was probably created out of her despair.
And now Altair is trying
to make Shimazaki's wish come true.
So, I
Do you regret it?
Are you determined to accept the responsibility?
Yes.
I understand.
More than anything else,
that is what your soul needs.
I want to stop Altair.
Of course. We must stop her.
How?
She was saying that
this world is "the land of the gods."
Even if we face off against her
using power that surpasses logic,
the power of the gods would win.
The power of the gods
There is only one way.
Where is this place?
Looks like the lights turn on.
I have no idea what's going on.
I can't draw in a place like this.
Are you stupid?
Oh, I should put that in the next episode.
I'll write a note.
Takarada.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
-I cannot believe I was created by such a fool.
-Stop! Stop! I'm sorry!
-Just as Selesia's creator demonstrated
-Stop!
Where is your love for the story you created?
Creator.
Answer my questions.
What? What is it?
My world, which you created
Is my world dear to you?
What?
Do you have any intention of saving my world?
That is what I ask.
I'm not the one who's supposed to save your world.
That's up to you.
You're the only one who can save your world.
Why?
Because you're the hero.
Is the role of the hero all-powerful?
May I consider it as an endorsement by the gods?
That's not what it is.
You might not get what I'm talking about.
It's not because you're the hero.
A person becomes a hero by trying
to reach a place where no one else can reach.
So So that's why I said it's up to you.
I can't conveniently help you.
You have to fight and solve it yourself.
I can't do anything about that world.
The only thing I can do is make ends meet.
I have one more question.
In this world, I met a boy who read my story.
Your story,
my hellish world,
is an unhappy story,
but it teaches people in this world
about strength, courage,
and how justice should be served.
That's what he told me.
I ask you again.
Is my story a world
that speaks of strength and courage?
Is it a world that is worthy
of me sacrificing my blood to uphold justice?
-Probably
-Probably?
I have no idea.
I can't talk about something so embarrassing.
How stupid.
If you have something to say, say it.
There is no one here to listen except the two of us.
And I am the hero in your embarrassing story.
I get it. It is worth it.
Of course I wrote the story to be that way.
Why else would I write a story like that?
I see.
You should be thankful to that boy.
Just as we found out in yesterday's battle
Altair is capable of physical attacks,
and also has the ability to revise stories.
That's right. In the fight with Alicetaria,
she changed Sword Rebellion into a flower.
She made a fake of me.
How many special moves does she have, anyway?
-That girl
-About that
Take a look at this.
This is
Next, this one.
It's the same ability as in yesterday's fight.
That's right. But that's not the point.
What do you mean?
Don't you see?
This isn't the video that
Setsuna Shimazaki made.
These were all created by someone
who was inspired by Shimazaki's videos.
These are secondary creations of Altair.
But Altair's creator has already passed away
So this is Altair's formidable power.
Through the secondary creations
of countless other people,
she continuously updates her own powers.
Someone makes a story about her,
and that story is added to her as a new power.
As long as the supply of stories continues,
her powers will continue to expand infinitely.
People continue to share
secondary creations about her online,
every day.
In other words
It's impossible to restrain her from the outside.
However, as of now,
she can't use her powers freely.
What do you mean?
The "restoration power" of the world
is probably still large,
and she would be thrown out of this world
if she tried to use her powers carelessly.
-This must be what she's worried about.
-So we're going to use that weakness to attack her.
However, unless we have the strength
needed to face her, no matter what we do
Why don't we attack her head-on?
The collision of the worlds happened,
and that caused the power of imagination
to be able to affect reality.
Then us creators
should be able to use that power.
We can make our characters stronger,
and things like that.
That's right, Suruga.
You're right.
If we can get the readers to sympathize,
we can revise the story,
and rewrite the story in real-time.
But the effect is only temporary.
Then we must
make that effect last, Matsubara.
In the revision we did last night,
Marine did a test illustration,
and Matsubara added an improvised story.
We got the readers to sympathize temporarily,
but that story was never released to the world.
Therefore that power
was displayed at only a limited level.
This is my hypothesis.
In other words,
if we take the appropriate steps,
we can maximize the effect of that power.
We have the support of government institutions,
and have communication lines
with the creators. We have everything.
If we use these,
we can create a story world for confining Altair.
We can push her in there,
and suppress her influence on the real world.
And then we maximize our own powers
through revision,
and directly face off against her in the story world.
If this story is accepted by the viewers,
then we can win.
You may return.
Until the finale arrives,
you may draw whatever you wish.
You don't have to tell me.
That's what I'll do anyway.
-The only thing I'm scared of is getting canceled.
-Canceled?
Yeah. If the readers don't think it's interesting,
then the story ends, even if it's still in the middle.
That's what they call "getting cancelled."
Is that so? Then put your life on the line
to draw something interesting.
You, it's not that easy.
That's no line for a knight of justice.
Of course.
As long as there are readers
like that boy who believe in me,
then you must do it.
Oh, I see.
So that's how you smile.
I forgot about it.
-Hey.
-What?
What are you going to do
after letting me go?
If you're the creator
then you would know what I'm going to do.
I see.
It's crazy.
Can you really do that?
But according to logic, it's not impossible.
It's a death match.
Not bad.
Honestly, I'm excited.
If you let me go full-throttle
with Gigas Machina, then I'm all for it.
Me too.
As long as I can off that old guy
and that foxy-eyed girl, I can't complain.
However, in order to revise
the powers of the creations,
we need the approval of the viewers.
In order for everyone to gather
in the story world, and face off against Altair,
we need a plot and a story
that allow seamless crossover
of the world views from different stories.
If we're going to do that,
then first we need to sort out
the publishing rights of each of the stories,
and get the publishers to work together.
Yeah. In order to make a story
that gets the approval of the viewers,
we need to get writers like us, the editors,
and the Public Relations departments
to work together.
A bird cage for confining Altair.
We must create a strong cage,
rapidly increase the approval of the viewers,
and increase our own strength.
In order to create such a situation,
we need a big event.
It all depends on whether we can create
a high-pressure live situation.
The outcome will be decided by this.
An event
The bigger the better.
We must act fast to find a venue.
It's a battle to decide the fate of the world,
and we're going to make a show of it?
It's not even funny.
It started with a story,
so we have to end it with a story too.
Right?
How much time do we have?
I don't know. I don't know
if new Creations are going to appear,
or what Altair is going to do
to destroy the pillar of the world.
Depending on those factors,
our time limit will change.
But still, we have no time to waste.
Of course.
We must continue to search for new Creations,
and continue to suppress Altair.
We can buy time before the world is destroyed.
No matter how much we hurry,
it's going to take at least three months.
Altair's strength is tremendous.
She possesses the weapon of feedback.
She is a formidable opponent.
In order to defeat her,
we need a stronger plot and story progression.
Let's set a limit of six months
and start working on it.
Kikuchihara, we need your help,
and the help of the government.
Please, grant our request.
Government-initiated events never go well.
Are you going to entrust me with a huge event
with the destruction of the world at stake?
Yes. Saving the world is no small task.
So we just continue our stories as before?
I want the creators to write spinoffs
from the current stories.
In those spinoffs, I want you
to prepare for creating the cage.
In the cage, several unrelated stories will be linked.
I want you to write foreshadowing for that.
-What about us?
-I will handle any tasks
related to the companies.
In the end, we're going to
enter the cage and fight too, right?
One big attack.
Earning approval,
making the cage appear
in the gap between fiction and reality,
and luring her in.
It's something that only the creators can do.
When the final battle begins,
everything will proceed adlib.
That's right. No one knows
how this story's going to turn out.
The knight released the creator.
Is that so?
What is she thinking?
Making things easier for us
To avoid any complications,
I should have finished her off back there.
We were about to be thrown out from the world.
Selesia's new powers were unexpected, even for me.
We must not push too hard.
I see.
So, princess
We have a new friend.
Who is he?
Just now
I explained to him about this world
and about our position.
There's someone I have to look for.
And there's a world I must save.
Just like you.
The world is still resisting destruction.
Probably only two or three more characters
will be able to appear.
When everyone is here,
our attack will begin.
