Shangri-La Frontier (2023) s01e20 Episode Script

1
Putting an end to eternity
it's danger, danger
The dots and lines connect
I just wanna know what lies beyond
outta the concrete jungle
The dungeon I race through
is a sea of trees
let's get ready to rumble, we can go
A-I-Ya-I-Ya
All right, you know this isn't a game
Twisting strategies, covering up the bugs
You gotta know pain to break the limit
A-I-Ya-I-Ya
oklet's get it
it's time to fly
I'm gonna die in my hype
Nothing bothers me anymore
moving your body
Light shining through the ground
They're hysteric
Our faint dream
But who do you fight for?
A-I-Ya-I-Ya A-I-Ya-I-Ya
The scene passing by, it's danger, danger
Now you're,
A-I-Ya-I-Ya A-I-Ya-I-Ya
Facing the stopped clock
we are the game changer
Keep going, even if
there's nothing at the end
A-I-Ya-I-Ya
if it's danger, danger
(The Current Situation
and What Comes Next)
Wow
Ah
Hey!
O-Okay!
Here you go.
(Transferring Item Ownership)
Thank you.
(Transferring Item Ownership)
Wait, what do I do now?
Our best talker just bit the dust!
They're your friend, right?
Do something!
This person saw through my plan
and ambushed me,
and sent me a friend request
out of nowhere!
In my mind, they're still
a total stranger danger!
Well, all right.
Lemme show you how
a pro gamer communicates.
Good luck!
U-Um
I'd like to ask you something,
Sunraku-san.
Y-Yes?!
Um Erm
So
What is your relationship
with Ms. Pencilgon?
Huh?
Hmm
We're game buddies?
I-I see!
A buddy a buddy
A friend
The Friend Warp is expiring
Oh
Then, once again
Thanks for saving us today!
I'll pay you back sometime.
Um, in that case, if we have the chance,
I'd love to play with
Maybe I should try out a game
to polish my communication skills.
Ah, wanna try out Love Clock?
Never mind.
I don't want another
"pizza tour" crap.
Hmm?
That dangerous sword's still here.
Bet they didn't take it
cuz it reeks of blood.
Though it's kinda wasteful
to just throw it away.
Oh well.
It's gross, but guess
I'll hold on to this for her, too.
Man, it's been so long since
I got this exhausted.
I think I'll sleep great tonight.
Sleep? Nah, more like
"pass out," I'd say.
You're right.
I'll log out after we get
to Thirdrema.
Okay.
(Thirdrema)
What are you doing, Emul?
I beat his ass without
respawning once!
Sa
Sa
Sunraku-san! It's you!
Thank goodness!
I wash sho worried!
Eh? What again?
So worried!
I'm back.
Oh, that's right.
Emul.
Thanks for the necklace.
We beat Wethermon the Tombguard
thanks to that!
Su-Sunraku-san
I'm so happy!

(Utopia Inc. P.R. Director
Sakai Tsukuyogi)
Director Tsukuyogi!
Fill me in.
Wethermon the Tombguard
has been beaten.
The timing was unexpected,
so the whole company's hectic.
Yeah, I bet.
Ctarnidd was supposed to be
the first one to be beaten,
and Wethermon was more
a mid to late-game content.
I was gonna enjoy my wife's
cooking for the first time in two days,
but I ended up having
to rush back to the office.
Is Tsukuri down below?
Yes, sir.
She's probably holed up
in there as usual.
But apparently Amachi-san
marched down there earlier.
- So
- I hear you.
This is part of the job.
(Chinese herbal medicine)
It's empty!
O-Oh no!
I'm out of medicine!
Say, do you have
any stomach medicine?
Eh? No, sir.
I don't have any.
I see

(Text Rending Room)
Hey.
(Utopia Inc. Founder
World Creative Administrator
Tsukuyo Tsukuri)
Wethermon got beaten.
You told me nobody would take him
down in at least a decade at this rate!
I said not by the Ashura Kai
as it stands now.
None of us expect somebody would
bring in the Reward Scales,
but of course, they did not
cheat or exploit a glitch.
They beat him on the up and up.
On the up and up?
What are you talking about?!
You're the one who nerfed him so hard
and made him into a child's play!
Just admit that you messed up!
What?!
Nobody would ever beat him
if we went with your initial stats!
That's just how strong
Wethermon is!
He's the strongest hero
from the Divinity era!
And you just screw him over
for "game balance" or whatever!
You're ruining my entire scenario!
Then don't make a monster that's part
of the story progression unbeatable!
What are you, stupid?!
You're calling me stupid?!
You're just a parasite feasting
on my world's leftovers!
You say what?!
You can't even balance
your oh-so-precious world right!
That's why I'm doing
all the hard work for you!
You moron!
Gosh, you got dandruff
all over you!
So are you!
I took a bath two days ago!
I had one three days ago too!
Urgh, my stomach hurts!
But I can't back out here!
You two! Cut it out!
How long are you gonna keep
arguing like children?!
Shut up!
M-My stomach!
Utopia Inc.'s flagship full-dive
VR game, Shangri-La Frontier
is managed by Tsukuyo Tsukuri,
who creates the world
and Ritsu Amachi,
who works it into a playable game.
Nobody would've thought
these two core staff members
would fight like a kindergartener
in the office
We have a mountain of things
that need to be done to address this,
but these two keep on fighting,
every single time!
Calm down
I'm the only one who can
keep them under control.
But
None of us have predicted
that this is the way
Shangri-La Frontier
was going to move.
F-For now, you two should take a shower!
Shut up, you pomade four-eyes!
(1 Damage)
(Hizutome)
A big progress
I made a big progress!
Hizutome-kun called out for me.
Come to my side!
He even gave me a lot of presents.
For you!
I-If I can get closer to him
like this in-game,
then eventually, I might even
get close to him in real life!
Aww!
(Due to an important matter
until tomorrow morning,
Do not enter!)
Now then
Let's go!
I've gotta check the loot and stuff.
Welcome to Shangri-La Frontier.
D-Dad
Boss is calling you.
How long were you crying?
So y'mind giving me the whole story?
How'd that death defier treat ya?
Of course, Vash Aniki.
Wethermon was strong.
At the very least, way stronger
than that "Aberrant" guy was.
I bet he was.
If I didn't play a ton of that trash game
filled with absurd bugged attacks,
he would've just killed me instantly.
Also, Emul? What are you
blowing your nose with?
Did he pass away in peace?
He even praised me as he did.
Ah, is that so?
And so the way opens.
Perhaps it's about time
About time?
Listen
y'wanna know the truth about the world?
Well, I couldn't ask for anything more.
Then I wanna ya to do
one little thing for me.
Little thing?
I need you to gather some items for me.
Huh?
There's a certain order
to this kind of thing, okay?
We can talk about the truth
about the world after that.
Oh, come on!
Really? We're kicking off this
"Vorpal Epic" Bonus Unique Scenario
with a fetch quest?
Well, all right.
That's just how
an opening act usually is.
Let's see
Required items
Receiver Delta, Positioner Delta,
and Transmitter Delta
I get what you want,
but where do I find these?
You're not going to leave me
blind here, right?
Of course not.
Try hittin' the "Barren Darkruin."
Um, the Barren Darkruin?
I guess it's not anywhere
near Thirdrema
Ya ain't gonna find it
on that cheap map.
What?
I'll try over at Peatz's shop later.
Right, then.
I'll be patient and wait for you
to take your time with it.
Huh? Wait!
Can you give me some more hints?!
As long as yer not a hell of a dang fool,
you'll find it eventually.
Is it an area way ahead?
Unique Scenario itself is
a kind of endgame content, anyway.
That makes sense.
This is gonna be a long trip!
Not so fast, Emul.
It may not be, in fact.
Woohoo!
My level went up like crazy
after I defeated Wethermon!
I got a ton of new and evolved skills!
I gotta get to the Skill Garden again!
Well done!
Now I've powered up this much,
things oughta be a breeze for a while!
And that's not all, either!
That's right! Let's not forget!
I've got Wethermon's loots!
Now we're talking!
After all that trouble, it wouldn't
be funny if I got nothing out of it.
Show me, baby!
Hm? What's this?
Tome of Truth, The Tombguard?
Oh, it's got a bunch of background
detail on Wethermon.
Well, guess I'll read it later.
Now give me something
with more practical use.
Oh?
Um
Radiant Sky-style Skillbook?
Radiant Sky-style Skillbook.
A memory bank containing
the sky sword skills
of a master swordsman
from the age of Divinity.
His strike could cut the sky,
gouge the earth,
and quell the dark clouds.
Divinity-era equipment is required
to decipher and master.
Eh?! Radiant Sky-style
as in the moves Wethermon used?
Wh-What?!
What's the matter, Sunraku-san?
I CAN LEARN AND USE WETHERMON'S MOVES?!
UOOOOH! FOR REAL?!!!
Oh, that means
I can also learn that Sky Radiance thing?
Holy crap! That's so exciting!
It says I need Divinity-era equipment
so it won't be anytime soon,
but I can't wait!
What do you say, Emul?
You almost rubbed my cheeks off
Woohoo! Let's move on
to the next thing on the list!
Here comes the last loot!
Oh, an accessory!
Bet it'll give me a huge stat boost!
Let's see
Invetoria Key?
The key, and the door, to a storage space.
A unique bracelet accessory
available only
to a small handful of people
even in the Divinity era.
Even when the wearer
is killed by another player,
this accessory as well as the items kept
in the storage won't be taken away.
That sounds great!
A space expansion portable key device.
It fuse by synchronizing
with the wearer's bodily data
and become one with the wearer.
An infinite storage
with no capacity limit?
So it's essentially an item box
that fits anything up to 50 meters?
And I can transport stuff into
the storage space by using my MP?
It's a bit on the plain side.
Well, let's try it out first.
H-He disappeared!
Oh, so this is the storage space, huh?
W-Well
I did say I want something
that has practical uses, but
What
What
What
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!
As you can see,
I'm flat-broke now,
but I finally bartered enough
to get these.
I'll bring something fancier next time,
but I hope you'll like this for now.
These flowers only bloom for
five minutes before they wither.
But if you take them
as an item before then,
they will stay in bloom forever.
Live in the moment and stay forever.
The flower's name is "Setsuna-Towa."
Perfect for us, right?
You call yourself a copy,
a manuscript of her.
But to me, you're the original.
The real thing.
If you want to find your own roots
The truth behind the world
You must search for Bahamut.
The truth behind the world, huh
I was actually planning to quit SLF
after beating Wethermon the Wethermon.
But alright, Setsuna.
Bahamut or whatever it is
I'm gonna drag them out
into the light of day!
(New Chapter
"Journeying Wolf, Be Ambitious")
If I have a lingering regret
That would be
the "farewell" I couldn't say
This regret alone knows no end
Is it because I ran away,
from the eventual end?
The seed you planted
Has turned into a giant banyan tree
And now crying as it hangs its branches
"I love you"
Just that one thing
Just that simple phrase
I wish I could have said that
This eternal seperation,
melted by the rain
A fragrant Rain Tree
Memories are overflowing
I want to meet you
Heaven in the Rain
SLF Theater!

Live in the moment and stay forever.
The flower's name is "Setsuna-Towa."
Perfect for us, right?
Man, it was a lot of work.
To get those and bring them here.
All my equipment got taken away
after I respawned, after all.
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
Could you take me to
the back route to Thirdrema?
So, how you'll pay for it?
Thanks! I'll pay you back
when I make it big.
I'm in a hurry, so see you later!
Hey!
Thank you for helping me.
This is the least I could give you.
Event cleared!
Reward obtained!
I know.
You're not here anymore.
But I wanted to get back here before dawn.
Perhaps you're still
Well, I had my hopes.
Man, I'm way too invested in this.
Well then, I'll come again.
Setsuna.
