Shangri-La Frontier (2023) s01e25 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
Th-This is!
Aroncaleth Hard Lapis, said to be
the greatest of all coating materials!
A-And not just that!
Lapisteria Stellar Crystal,
one of the brightest stars in the sky!
Hold up! Ya even got
Lowenanva Amber Crystal?!
And one of this size is a rare find!
This is Amurcidian Quartz!
I have no idea what she's saying.
There's still more!
Bilac!
Crystal Leg! Crystal Claw!
Crystal Pincer!
I have a whole array
of Crystal Scorpion materials!
Did ya really go to the crystal zone?!
My head feels like it's about to burst
with all these rare materials!
But he had a chance to get
their stinger, too, but he screw
Here ya go. Be a good girl
and eat your carrots, okay?
So, Bilac, I don't mean to rush,
but what weapons can you make
with these wonderful materials?
I never cared about jewels
aside from their material value
But to have something of this level
in front of me like this
It sure is quite a bliss.
Now I know how the Cat-siths feel
What the heck was that for?!
I was asking if you could
make something with them.
Yeah.
I could use these Crystal Scorpion
stuff and jewels for weapons, sure.
But these types of jewels
are more suited for accessories.
And that would be more of
a jeweler's thing than a smith's.
Jeweler?
They make accessories that
grant effects when they're worn.
And they specialize in making
stuff with jewels on 'em.
Oh! So they can make accessories for me?
So where can I find a jeweler in Rabituza?
Would it be another one of Emul's sisters?
Sorry to tell ya, but we got
no jewelers in here.
What? Seriously?
Is it some kinda rare job?
Oh c'mon! These stuff
will be a waste without one!
Let me finish first!
It ain't like I got no leads.
But
I really much rather not
have to call for him
But as a craftsman, it'd hurt my pride
to see these jewels go unused.
Hey, don't leave me hanging.
Introduce me to him.
Fine, you leave me with no choice.
I'll call him now.
Hey, Moron-meese.
C'mere a second.
C'mon, it's not like he's
in the next room over, right?
Did you call for me,
oh my dear dark lass!
Whoa, you scared me!
No matter how deep
in the abyss I may be
Just call me and I'll instantly
come twirling back to you!
What's this funny creature?
I am a Sword Master!
The Wild Wind!
The vice-captain of the Booted Musketeers,
the pride of Cazzeria, land of the Cat-siths!
Arameese!
What was that again?
Moron miss?
This loud cat is a jeweler?
Nah, not him.
Just call this guy "Moron-meese."
You must be my beloved's sister!
I'm Emul.
And this person here is Sunraku-san.
Now, tell me what you need from me,
your loyal Arameese!
If you will it, my beloved, I will gladly
leap into the maw of Lycagon herself!
That's a good idea.
Go get yourself killed.
Or that's what I'd like to say,
but I need your help today.
You need help from me, my beloved?!
I wanna ask your jeweler,
D'artam-meow to craft
jewel accessories for us.
Oh?
And not just any ol' accessory, either.
I'm askin' for a masterpiece.
Look at this! A plethora of fine jewels!
Sunraku-san here collected them for us!
Hello.
I thought you were a bird-man at first,
but you have a human body.
But I've never heard of
a human with a bird head.
I'm a human, trust me.
And don't look down on him for that.
He earned the Night Emperor's acceptance
and defeated the Eternal Tombguard.
He's my pops' underling.
Hmm.
This human?
That's rather
hard to believe.
I see.
So you weren't lying!
Is this dude for real?!
You stupid cat!
What the hell're you
doin' in my sacred forge?!
Are you okay, Sunraku-san?
Aah, my beloved! Your expression
of love is rather extreme!
It's quite painful for me!
Well then, Mr. blue bird-man.
Or rather, Sir Sunraku.
Do you intend to have our jeweler
use all of these jewels?
Y-Yeah.
Otherwise, all I can do
is sell them, after all.
I'm counting on you, Arameese.
Understood!
I may be your humble servant,
but by my name as Arameese the Wild Wind,
the vice-captain of Booted Musketeers,
I promise you will see
the finest piece ever made.
What the hell are ya doing?!
You'll see me again shortly.
He's gone.
He used teleport magic.
That darn moron.
This is why I didn't want to call him.
Um, so can I ask what's up
with you and him?
Huh?
I made a weapon for that fool once.
That's all.
He's a vice-captain over in Cazzeria,
the land of Cat-siths!
Despite his manner, he's really strong!
Yeah, I bet.
I'm sure he wasn't going all out
when he attacked me.
He did call himself a Sword Master.
Well, when it comes to strength,
he is stronger than me.
Cazzeria,
the land of the Cat-siths, huh?
There's a lot I want to ask,
but I'm beat right now.
I'm gonna go to sleep first.
If you're tired, then okay.
I'll be right back once I'm rested up.
When I'm back, let's get right on to
finding that Magic Application Unit.
We gotta make Bilac
an Ancient Craftsman, after all.
Roger that!
Yer a pretty busy dude too, ain't ya?
So tired.
I guess I'll log in again later tonight.
A message?
I wanted to ask you something.
Where are you right now?
I'd like to meet up with
you about that ASAP.
Question for Sunraku-kun!
Where are you right now? Fivelle?
I got something I wanted
to talk with you about in person.
Are you free tonight?
What the hell?
Even a Venus flytrap
would be less obvious.
One after another. Just what kind
of scheme are they on right now?
Well, either way, I used
my brain too much already.
Time for bed.
All right!
Freshly napped and feelin' great!
Bilac's training arc resumes!
Ancient Craftsman, here we come!
Come to think of it,
I totally ignored their messages
But oh well!
They look like they'll be
a pain in the ass anyway.
Okay, let's go get Bilac first
and look for Magic Application Unit
in the Road of Past Glories!
Oh, there's something I need
to tell you about that.
Hm?
My beloved! You're trampling me!
It's not bad!
But still Owww!
I'd be doing the world a favor by
crushing your dumb ass right now!
My backbone!
What's with this couple's act?
We're not a damn couple!
Also, Arameese, didn't you
go back to Cazzeria?
What happened to the jewels?
No need to fear about that.
They're safe in the hands of
D'artam-meow, our resident jeweler.
I have returned to lend my powers
to my beloved!
I heard that you three
are off on an adventure
to get my beloved
to a new height, no?
If so, there is no reason for Arameese
the Wild Wind not to offer his help!
Umm?
That means he wants to join us.
For real?
He's supposed to be
stronger than Bilac, right?
Wouldn't having another above level 90
ally make the game too easy?
What should I do about this?
I much rather not have him around,
but he'll follow us
no matter what you say.
Huh?
The word about you has spread
to the king of the Cat-siths,
so apparently everybody in
Cazzeria wants to help you
with accessories and everything else.
Huh?! What all the fuss about me?
Cazzeria and Rabituza are
friends with each other.
So being Pops' underling means
a lot more than you'd imagine.
Moreover, you defeated one of the colossi.
It seemed like you've got no idea
just how much influence you have.
You may think of this as
the will of Cazzeria in action!
I'll cut down anyone who stands
in my beloved's path!
Also, Cat-siths all go crazy for jewels.
The jewelers in Cazzeria are real sharp,
but also notorious for pocketing
some of the goods they got.
Huh? Are you serious?
So to prevent that,
I name-dropped you just in case.
But we got a painful guy
sticking to us because of it.
Now, good sir Sunraku!
Let us set off at once!
To make my beloved soar even higher!
By the way, what else this
"influence" I got will get me?
I also mentioned that you got
acknowledged by the Night Emperor,
so you might find a werewolf
or lizardman as a bride.
They'd love ya.
Whoa, gimme a break.
And beyond that
At worst, you might trigger a war.
Oh, you surely jest.
I'm an honest, sensible player.
Either way, unless you fully
understand what you have done,
you might get caught up
in stuff you didn't mean to.
So watch out, all right?
Hey, Moron-meese!
We're heading out!
Are you ready?!
Of course, my beloved!
Ask me for whatever you like!
This is becoming a really big deal now.
Well, no worries.
Even if I got the whole world against me,
that's par for the course
in the other worlds.
Hmm?
(The Eighth Town
Eighdold)
My first human transformation in ages!
Oh! Impressive, sister of my beloved!
Such a fine transformation skill!
Hey, Moron-meese!
Where did you just touch me?
Whoa, my beloved! Please!
Not the skull! Not the skull!
Quit smilin' while sayin' that!
Stop struggling in there!
You're gonna flip the cloth up!
Good grief, navigating through towns
is becoming a real pain now.
Never thought I'd have to wear this again.
Whoa! They're selling carrots here!
Can I buy some?!
I already gave you plenty,
didn't I, Emul-chan?
I did make a bunch of mahni
thanks to the Crystal Scorpions,
but take it easy on those
mana potions, okay?
Ow! Ow!
Cut it out, dude!
If we run out of it, you're going under
this chaotic space too, got it?
I-I got it!
Well, it beats going around
in that furry chimera outfit.
At the very least, this look is still
a commonly available in-game gear.
Nobody would be suspicious of you
if you act confident!
Not like anyone'll talk
to a freak like you anyway.
Yeah, I'm used to that by now.
She's staring hard at us, Sunraku-san!
Stop freaking out!
Just act natural!
And you guys stop moving, too!
Whoa! She's coming over!
Um, is there anything I can
do for you, little magical girl?
Oh, are you curious about this
strange equipment?
Didn't Peatz say he also
ran a shop in Thirdrema?
Uh, I got this in
It's from the stall that rarely
appears over in Thirdrema.
I believe it was named
"Ritual Medjed Keffiyeh."
Among the three players who beat
Wethermon the Tombguard,
One of them goes around wearing that,
or so I heard.
He usually prefers to sport
a Staring Bird Mask, and his name is
Sunraku.
Forget about how I blew my cover or that
word about me leaked out from somewhere
that's one hell of
a deep old man voice!
Your look matches the trait
of the player I'm searching for.
Can we talk a bit?
He's got an old man's voice
but the look of a magical girl!
That's one hell of a gimmick!
Hmm? Can you hear me?
Is he trying to make me laugh with
the mismatched voice and look?
I mean, I'm pretty funny-looking
myself, but still!
Oh, right. My pardon.
Where are my manners?
I am the leader of the lore-studying clan,
the Library.
My name is Professor.
Lore-studying clan Library?
It's a fairly well-known clan within SLF.
Have you never heard of us?
We examine and analyze the lore
behind Shangri-La Frontier's world.
Now that he mentioned it, I think I've
heard of them when I read stuff online.
That they gather data by working
with other clans and players.
If so
Maybe they'd have some useful info for me.
But I really wanna make
some progress right now.
I've already gotten side-tracked enough.
I'm sure it'd be a pain
if he learned about Emul and Bilac.
Has it ever occurred to you?
About how unusual do the flags
for scenarios act in SLF?
Unlike most games that handhold
you along a preset path,
here the players have to find these
intricately hidden flags for themselves.
He's right.
Truly a type of game for adventurers.
And as a lore buff,
I couldn't ask for anything more.
But the best example of that is the
Seven Colossi at the core of the world.
They're so difficult to fight that our
research on them hit a brick wall.
So, once I heard that a
group managed to beat
one of the colossi,
Wethermon the Tombguard
I was thrilled in excitement.
Sunraku-kun.
Don't you want to unravel
the truth of the world with us?
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 separation,
melted by the rain
A fragrant Rain Tree
Memories are overflowing
I want to meet you
Heaven in the Rain
There are countless number
of video games in this world.
However, most of them
get 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.
All right, time to go.
Just you wait, Setsuna.
The truth of the world
If you want to find your own roots
The truth about the world
Listen
y'wanna know the truth about the world?
Would the boy who loves trash games,
Rakuro Hizutome,
also known as Sunraku,
be able to unravel
the truth about the world?
And he's yet to know
That one of the Seven Colossi in SLF,
Lycagon the Nightslayer,
will be facing him again
on one night in the near future.

Bilac, a Vorpal Bunny Blacksmith.
In a dream of one day surpassing
her great father,
she swings her hammer today as well.
I gathered quite a lot of rare ones.
Well, they do have high quality.
But my instinct as a craftsman
tells me this is not quite it.
Your instinct sure is picky.
So what kind of mineral does
this instinct of yours want?
If anything, let's see
I want to make an alloy.
That means you need iron ores?
Fine, I'll go dig up some.
Let's go, Emul.
Yessir!
Sunraku-san! Faster! Run faster!
W-We got them for you.
What is it that you want this time?
Well, if I want to make even stronger
weapons, I'd need jewels, too.
Urgh, fine. I'll get them for you.
Jewels, right?
Let's go, Emul!
We're going there again?!
Are you satisfied now?
When you guys were out,
I had an epiphany.
Maybe it'd be better to use monster
materials and lumber instead.
Then I know something even better.
What?
Ores. Jewels.
AND YOUR HARD HEAD!
DON'T ASK FOR SOMETHING DIFFEREN
AT THE VERY END!
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID YOU WAN
TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE WEAPON!
Y-You two! Stop it!
Please! No fighting! No fighting!
