[Lycoris Drama CD + VN] Another Heroine Inverter

We were planning a surprise release this week, but since Futami and Minami finally greenlit the release of the final Ancient Apostles DLC this week, we've had a change of plans. Good thing I didn't specify what the surprise was going to be, so now we can pretend that this was the intended surprise, right?

As mentioned all the way back in November, the Limited Edition of Lycoris in Japan came with multiple bonuses, one of which was an original Drama CD story. What's more, due to popular demand, the producers also commisioned a visual novel rendition of that very Drama CD and included it as another bonus for the Lycoris limited edition.

This Drama CD focuses on the original gameverse heroines + Yui in GGO in the sidelines while the main gang is busy with the Clamp incident in Underworld. Since it's basically a prologue for the gameverse heroines' arrival to Underworld in the aftermath of the Clamp incident, we decided to hold out on releasing this Drama CD until it become relevant... and since Strea and Philia were added to the game just yesterday, the time has finally come!

I'll be posting Kaantantr's subtitled VN of the Drama CD, and the text version of the translated script. My translation was based on the Japanese script that came with the Drama CD, so you'll notice some differences between the text script and the video version.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the release. If you have any suggestions/requests for what to work on, feel free to leave a comment or contact us through Twitter/Discord/Email.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Lycoris (after the main story)

Another Heroine Inverter

Inside the GGO dungeon 『Underground Labyrinth』, Hidden Area. Room with a surveillance server (afternoon).



(SFX) Kyuru, kyuuru: surveillance server room cameras moving.

(SFX) Footsteps. Philia is silently walking on.

With her gun at the ready and checking on her surroundings, Philia is moving onwards.

Infrared rays spread out around Philia's feet; her foot comes into contact with the infrared rays a little.

(SFX) Viin: the server detects Philia's presence.



0:31-0:42 System: "Underground Labyrinth, Hidden Area, code seven, nine, zero, two, one; Human Unit intruder detected. Initiating immediate disposal protocols."

0:45-0:50 Philia: "(Interrupting) Now that's what I call a warm welcome. In that case, I'll have to return the favour myself, as well."



(SFX) Pin: removing grenade's safety pin.

(SFX) Hyuh: throwing

(SFX) Dokkahn: explosion

Philia destroys the surveillance server room console with a grenade.



0:57-0:59 Philia: "Phew, guess that did the job?"



(SFX) Vvt-vvt: shrill warning alert rings out.



1:00-1:07 System: "Emergency. First control room surveillance server destroyed. Requesting repairs——"



(SFX) Kachah: readying a gun.



1:07-1:09 "Sorry, but not happening."



(SFX) Ban: gunshot

Philia shoots the server console with her gun. The warning alert stops.

(SFX) Pikon, call begins.



1:14-1:21 Philia: "This is Philia! I've destroyed the surveillance server in the first control room. Yui-chan, Strea, I request my next orders!"



(SFX) Pikon. Premiere answers.

(SFX) Gasagoso: eating something.

Premiere is inside Kirito's room in GGO.



1:21-1:24 Premiere: "Musha…… mogu……"

1:24-1:28 Philia: "Next up is the second control room, right; send me the map coordinates for it!"

1:28-1:33 Premiere: "I am busy eating an onigiri right now, thus could I take your call at a later time?"

1:34-1:37 Philia: "Premiere!? What happened to Yui-chan and Strea?"

1:37-1:42 Premiere: "Yui and Strea have both taken their leave due to familial circumstances."

1:42-1:46 Philia: "So, does that mean there's been word on Kirito and the others!?"

1:46-1:52 Premiere: "I am sorry. I was more interested in the state of this onigiri than those circumstances, thus I have not heard much on the matter."

1:52-1:54 Philia: "Why haven't you!"

1:54 Premiere: "Ah."

1:55-1:56 Philia: "Did you just remember something?"

1:57-2:02 Premiere: "The onigiri Asuna makes is three times yummier than this one."

2:02-2:04 Philia: "Sheesh!!"



(SFX) Pikon: another call coming in.



2:05-2:12 Philia: "Ah…… I've gotta hang up for now. When Yui-chan and Strea get back, be sure to pass on what I just told you!"

2:12-2:20 Premiere: "Mogumusha, wogerdathohofuhehihohhafuhohihehihefuhahahi."

2:21-2:24 Philia: "I'm kinda getting really worried here, but I'll count on you!"



(SFX) Pikon: Philia answers the incoming call.



2:25-2:27 Rain: "Philia-chan, do you hear me?"

2:27-2:31 Philia: "Rain, Seven! This is Philia, how's it going with the third control room?"

2:33-2:36 Rain: "We just destroyed the surveillance server!"



(SFX) Monster roar.



2:37-2:41 Seven: "Onee-chan, watch out!!"



(SFX) Babababa: shotgun shots.

(SFX) Ugoooo: monster roar.

(SFX) Dosari: monster collapses.



2:42-2:45 Rain: "Thanks, Seven!"

2:46-2:53 Philia: "Sorry, while I did destroy the surveillance server of the first control room, I don't know the coordinates for the second control room."



(SFX) Pikon: incoming call.

2:54-2:58 Philia: "Oh, hold on a bit! I'm getting a call from Kureha's team!"



(SFX) Pikon: Philia answers the call.



2:58-3:00 Philia: "This is Philia! Go right ahead!"

3:00-3:06 Kureha: "This is Kureha! We found the second control room. I'll destroy it with Zeliska-san once we've mopped up the monsters here, kay."

3:07-3:09 Philia: "Really!? Thanks, you two!"

3:09-3:17 Zeliska: "As if I'd ever turn down any request from a cu～te girl. Philia, be careful now."

3:18-3:19 Kureha: "Well then, let's meet up at the console!!"

3:20-3:22 Philia: "Roger!"



(SFX) Pih: call hanged up.



3:23-3:33 Philia: "Kirito, just you wait. No matter how far away you are, I'll be sure to come and save YOU this time."



(SFX) Tatah: Philia runs off.



3:33-3:41 Philia N: "After Kirito got dragged into some kind of incident and disappeared from sight, Asuna and co used a device known as the STL (Soul Translator),
3:41-3:46 to go after him by logging into some virtual world known as Underworld.
3:46-3:52 Left behind, we never even had the option of helping out in some way from this side.
3:52-3:58 Wanting to find a way for all of us to come running to Kirito's side, Yui-chan and Strea continued their search for leads for us.
3:58-4:08 And just an hour ago, they discovered that something had accessed the GGO server from the Ocean Turtle and downloaded a massive amount of player data.
4:09-4:14 At that moment, a small 『hole』 had opened up in GGO.
4:14-4:28 The discovery that the two worlds, Underworld and GGO, were now connected served as the key to our plan here. To our reckless plan, to be exact——
4:28-4:35 Yet, this is probably the one and only measure we can take to be able see him again."



4:51 Inside the GGO dungeon 『Underground Labyrinth』, the Deepest Floor of the Hidden Area. Control room (afternoon).



(SFX) Console room opens with a "shuwan".



4:45 Zeliska: "Ei"

4:45-4:46 Seven: "Hyaah!
4:46-4:50You do know that touching people's hair out of the blue is bound to startle people, right."

4:50-4:56 Zeliska: "Huhu, such smooth hair. Who would have ever thought that you were such a cute girl, Seven."

4:57-5:00 Rain: "I can't help noticing that you have a thing for my little sister……"

5:01-5:05 Kureha: "Oh, don't worry. Zeliska-san has her eyes set on someone else, after all!"

5:06-5:10 Philia: "Um, hello…… did I just interrupt something, perhaps?"



(SFX) Patapata: Seven runs away by rushing over to Philia.



5:10-5:12 Seven: "(Panicked) Yahou! Philia-chan!
5:12-5:17 Thanks for shutting down the surveillance server!!!! You reaaaally helped us out back there!"

5:17-5:23 Philia: "Ahaha…… Oh right, did you figure anything out on your end afterwards?"

5:24-5:26 Seven: "Nothing whatsoever, surprisingly.
5:26-5:33 Although we did find records on GGO's data being accessed from Underworld, which led to player data being downloaded to it,
5:34-5:37 we have no clue whatsoever on what was the reason and goal for all that."

5:37-5:43 Philia: "Oh, I see……And what about the 『hole』 that had opened up in GGO when the data was downloaded?"

5:43-5:54 Seven: "We did manage to confirm that a 『hole』 was opened up as a result of some sort of hidden program going into action, which led to Underworld being linked to GGO through a tunnel,
5:54-6:00 But not even the intellect of this here Seven-chan was enough to get anything else out of the analysis. I have to throw my hands up into the air."

6:00-6:06 Rain: "That sure is strange. Origin and ALO were accessed too, right?"

6:06-6:14 Seven: "Correct. I did try doing some digging in Origin too, but the Cardinal System there was solid.
6:14-6:17 So, that's why we had to turn to this plan."

6:17-6:24 Philia: "I was shocked by it at first. Who would have thought of delving into a dungeon that contained a control console for Zaskar employees.
6:24-6:27 Good thing we had Zeliska, our inside girl."

6:27-6:36 Zeliska: "Though, it is solely meant for emergencies. It was stashed in a high-difficulty area that no normal person could enter.
6:36-6:43 If someone happened to wander in by some fluke, 『normally』 they would just be driven away by the high-level enemies.
6:44-6:47 It's all thanks to Yui-chan and Strea acting as our operators that we managed to get this far.

6:47-6:54 Kureha: "Oh right, where are those two? Our calls never reached them, right? Nor could we reach Premiere or Tia either."



(SFX) Shuwan: console room doors open.

(SFX) Several footsteps.



6:54-6:56 Strea: "Sorry to keep ya waiting!"

6:56-6:58 Yui: "Please excuse us for being this late, girls."

6:58-7:03 Premiere: "Although I have already had my fill with onigiri, I did bring snacks."

7:03-7:05 Tia: "I brought pillows."

7:05-7:07 Philia: "Hey girls!"

7:07-7:11 Rain: "Why are you all but ready to fall asleep at the console, Tia-chan?"

7:11-7:15 Strea: "Awwww! I'm just about ready to die from disappointment!
7:15-7:21 And here I have the urge to do this and that to comfort an exhausted Kirito right here and now!
7:21-7:23 Not enough Kirito here!!!"

7:23-7:29 Premiere: "What is 'this and that' supposed to be? Could I ask you for a more specific definition?"

7:29-7:32 Strea: "Hmhfufu, well, you seeeee…"

7:32-7:37 Yui: "It is far too early for Premiere-san to know that! Strea, you cannot tell her anything about that."

7:37-7:39 Strea: "Awwww, you're such a stick in the mud!"

7:40-7:43 Philia: "So? Have there been any breakthroughs on Kirito and co's end?"

7:43-7:50 Yui: "Well, about that… I did attempt to make contact with Mama, but she would not respond whatsoever.
7:50-7:56 Even on the Roppongi branch side, it seems they have been blocked from making any contact with the Ocean Turtle for some reason."

7:57-8:00 Philia: "No way, did something happen there?"

8:00-8:01 Premiere: "I am worried……"

8:02-8:09 Strea: "I'm sure they're fine! Besides, we did manage to find a way to head to Underworld through that 『hole』, anyway!"

8:09-8:14 Seven: "Say what!?"



(SFX) Pihpihpi mechanic sounds come from Strea as she operates her storage window.

(SFX) Fuwaaan: a crystal-like item comes out.



8:14-8:16 Strea: "Tah-daaaah."

8:16-8:21 Rain: "Hmm? It looks like Healing Crystal; what is it, exactly?"

8:22-8:30 Strea: "Using Origin's highly-sophisticated calculation system, records of data download requests from Underworld, as well as log data from the past,
8:30-8:35 We created a reverse-converter……that is to say, an Inverter."

8:35-8:37 Philia: "An Inverter?"

8:37-8:44 Seven: "I see, so you're saying that you can use the 『hole』 that was opened up in GGO to send us into Underworld, huh."

8:44-8:49 Zeliska: "You sure are something, Strea～　You've earned my respect as a programmer!"

8:49-8:51 Strea: "Tee-hee!
8:51-8:58 Though, you see! We only have one of these, so only a single one of us can go there, unfortunately!"

8:58-9:00 Philia: "Wha, a single one of us?"

9:00-9:07 Strea: "Yep! So, now we've gotta carefully select who's most worthy of going, right～"

9:08-9:12 Rain: "A single one, huh…… it is unfortunate, but whatcha gonna do."

9:13-9:17 Seven: "Indeed……In that case, shouldn't his daughter Yui-chan be the one to go then?"

9:17-9:22 Kureha: "True that. Kirito-san is a dear family member to Yui-chan, after all."

9:22-9:26 Zeliska: "They've got a point, Yui-chan. You do want to see your Papa again as soon as possible, don't you～"

9:26-9:31 Yui: "Ehm, to be frank, that is indeed the case……
9:32 But!
9:33-9:38 I do believe that all of you here have the right to go see Papa again too!"

9:38-9:41 Zeliska: "What do you mean by that?"

9:41-9:46 Yui: "Each and every one of you here interacted and supported my Papa.
9:46-9:52 That is exactly why I wish to select who will be going to Papa's side through fair-and-square means."

9:53-9:54 Philia: "Yui-chan……"

9:55-9:59 Zeliska: "What a truly great little girl you aaaare～, there, there."

9:59-10:04 Yui: "Umm, Zeliska-san, you are a bit too close for comfort……"

10:04-10:11 Strea: "And on that note, in order to select who should be the one to go to Underworld through peaceful and impartial means,
10:11-10:15 Let's begin our Appeal Tiiime～!"

10:15-10:18 Seven: "The heck? What do you mean 'Appeal Time'?"

10:18-10:22 Strea: "Well, it'd be pretty hard to come to a decision through simple talks, right.
10:22-10:30 So, I figured that picking out the person by voting for whoever pulled on your heartstrings the most through their appeals would be a time-saving way to make the decision!"

10:30-10:34 Rain: "A vote…… you really want us to make the decision this way?"

10:35-10:39 Kureha: "Well, it's like how you pick out your class committee members, I guess?"

10:39-10:44 Zeliska: "Well, it may be a valid method, but doesn't it come a bit out of the blue?"

10:45-10:51 Strea: "Don't sweat the details, don't sweat them at all! I'm sure it'll be fun hearing all of our appeals anyway!"

10:51-10:58 Premiere: "What is an 'apyl'? What are we supposed to do for it? Is it something complicated?"

10:58-11:04 Strea: "Nope, it's super simple! Just express all your 'I really want to go to Kirito's side!' feels,
11:04-11:08 Or unload what you feel for Kirito himself in your own words to your heart's content!"

11:08-11:15 Rain: "Though simple it is, I'm kinda getting the feeling that it might get embarrassing."

11:15-11:20 Seven: "Hm? Wait hold on, what are you going to do about the acceleration rate in Underworld?"

11:20-11:28 Strea: "We can tackle that later! We don't have the time for talking now, after all! Now then, girls, you in? Or not? Take your pick."

11:28-11:35 Seven: "Uugh, oh fine! If that's how it's going to be, then Seven-chan IS going to participate, of course!
11:35-11:38 Eh, I mean, as a VR researcher, of course, got it!"

11:39-11:45 Premiere: "I am Kirito's 『mistruhs』. Hence, I cannot allow myself to relinquish this post to anyone else."

11:45-11:47 Tia: "I'm also…… in."

11:48-11:52 Rain: "(Blushing) Me too! I want to see Kirito-kun again, after all……"

11:52-11:57 Philia: "Me too! Hey wait, Kirito sure is full of sins, huh."

11:58-12:01 Strea: Alright! Then let's get our Appeal Time on the road!
12:02-12:11 We each make our appeals one-by-one, and then vote for the people you like! Clap clap clap! Oh by the way, no voting for yourself, kay!"

12:11-12:13 Kureha: "This sure is intense, huh."

12:13-12:18 Seven: "That's just how Strea usually works, you do know that, right?"

12:18-12:20 Strea: "Oh right, Kureha and Zeliska, are you in this too?"

12:21-12:28 Kureha: "I'll pass, I guess. Though I am curious about that world, there's already a guy I have to babysit in this one, anyway."

12:29-12:37 Zeliska: "I'll pass too. There's no way I can leave my cute Daisy-chan behind, after all～ May I spectate instead, I wonder～"

12:37-12:42 Strea: "Sure. In that case, can I at least ask you to do your own self-intros for technicalities?"

12:42-12:45 Kureha: "Hm? What do you mean by that?"

12:45-12:53 Strea: "Surprisingly, we all don't really know all that much about each other, right? So, I figured it might be best to do some self-intros."

12:54-12:57 Zeliska: "Strea, that kinda feels reaaally out of place."

12:57-13:00 Strea: "Don't you worry your little head! That's just how it works!"

13:01-13:04 Kureha: "What do you mean 'that's just how it works'? I don't get what you're trying to say here!"

13:04-13:09 Yui: "I would like to add my name to the request as well. Please hear out my little sister's wishes."

13:09-13:12 Zeliska: "If cute little Yui-chan is the one to make this request, I guess we have no choice!"

13:12-13:15 Kureha: "Holy, now that's a sudden one-eighty."

13:15-13:25 Zeliska: "I'm Zeliska. A programmer at Zaskar. In GGO, they call me the Uncrowned Queen, you know?
13:25-13:36 I owe Kirito-kun a favour for helping resolve the Death Gun Incident, and he is a dear friend of mine, so I offer my heartfelt prayers that Kirito-kun escapes harm."

13:36-13:46 Kureha: Ehm, I'm Kureha. Been in GGO for quite a while. Kirito-san has helped me out and I feel grateful for that.
13:46-13:55 I can understand the sentiment of being unable to leave Kirito-san unattended that you all have. It's just like how there's no way I can leave my guy unattended, either."

13:55-13:59 Strea: "Thanks, you two! Indeed!"

13:59-14:02 Philia: "Hm? 'Indeed' what?"

14:02-14:04 Strea: "Well then, Yui, take it awaaaay!"

14:05-14:10 Yui: "Well then! Let's begin our Appeal Time! We will start with me!
14:10-14:19 I am Yui. Although born as a mental health counselling program, I was taken in as Papa and Mama's daughter after a certain series of events.
14:19-14:23 I very much love those two.
14:23-14:32 My favourite things are getting huggies from Papa, and getting my hair stroked by Mama.
14:32-14:36 Their very existence holds me up.
14:36-14:43 Despite me being a program, the two of them treat me like a real child.
14:43-14:51 I am worried about Papa…… and I am brimming with a desire to see him again. And Mama too.
14:51-15:01 If I get to see them again, I want us all to lie down in the shape of the river kanji (川) for a nap and talk lots and lots… like a family again."

15:01-15:04 Rain: "(Moved to tears) Ughu……"

15:04-15:07 Seven: "Onee-chan, are you crying?"

15:07-15:21 Rain: "I just kinda remembered about the time when I parted ways with you, Seven, and came to Japan with just our Mama…… ughu…… it sure is lonely when your family is all split up……"

15:22-15:27 Seven: "There, there, don't cry, Onee-chan. I'm right here, you know?"

15:27-15:29 Strea: "Heya, do ya have any campaign pledges or anything?"

15:29-15:31 Seven: "Way to kill the mood."

15:32-15:43 Yui: "By campaign pledges, you mean a promise that we would fulfil if elected, all right…… in that case…… (kohon: cough)
15:44-15:51 When Papa returns, I promise to share three months worth of my knowledge of Papa's schedule with all of you.
15:52-15:59 Also, seeing as I am well-informed on Papa's favourite foods, drinks, and stores, I shall make a list of all of them and share it with you."

16:00-16:02 Seven: "S-say what——"

16:02-16:05 Rain: "No way! You're really going to share all that with us!?"

16:05-16:08 Philia: "Oh what to do, I wanna know so bad!"

16:08-16:15 Yui: "But seeing as we cannot allow affairs to happen, I will be limiting dates with Papa to just one hour per girl."

16:15-16:18 Seven: "Can you even call that a date anymore then?"

16:18-16:23 Yui: "That is all for my appeal. Who is going next?"

16:23-16:28 Rain: "Ehm, I guess I'll go next then.
(After getting her breathing under control and waiting a bit)
16:28-16:39 I'm Rain. Kirito-kun helped me out a lot in ALO, which allowed me to tell the truth to my little sister Seven, who's more precious to me than the entire world."

16:40-16:41 Seven: "(Warm-heartedly) Onee-chan……"

16:41-16:47 Rain: "So, I want to go to Kirito-kun's aid to return the favour, among other reasons.
16:47-16:54 As for my campaign pledge——I'm sorry that I don't really have much to offer but,
16:54-16:56 how about tickets to my live concert.
16:57-17:00 Oh, but perhaps no one's going to be happy with that?"

17:00-17:05 Seven: "I want that ticket! So, I'm voting for my Onee-chan."

17:06-17:09 Rain: "Seven……thank you."

17:09-17:11 Strea "Tee-hee, huggies!!"



(SFX) Gyumuh!: embracing.



17:11-17:16 Yui: "Kyah, Strea, why did you just hug me all of a sudden?"

17:16-17:23 Strea: "Oh, seeing their sisterly love like that kinda made me grow the urge to pull a huggie on you, Yui!
17:23-17:26 So, huggie!!"

17:26-17:35 Yui: "Afuh…… I am all but buried in Strea's bountiful thorax and finding it hard to breathe…… Someone please help……"

17:35-17:43 Rain: "Strea, your expression of sisterly love is too intense. Ehm, next up is Seven, I guess!"

17:43-17:47 Seven: "Alright.
17:48-17:55 (After clearing her throat) I'm Seven. A short while ago, I kinda went overboard with one of my experiments,
17:55-17:59 at which point, Kirito-kun did me a favour by stopping me.
18:00-18:12 (Flustered) So……Kirito-kun is just as, u-um, precious to me…… as my Onee-chan."

18:12-18:14 Philia: "Seven, your face is all beet red, you know?"

18:14-18:17 Seven: "(Shaken) Ugh…… t-that's all because of the heat!
18:17-18:24 GGO's underground areas are on the hotter side by design, okay. From the perspective of a VR researcher, that's all but certain!
18:25-18:30 Oh, yeah! I'm basically obliged to go to Underworld from the perspective of a VR researcher, too!
18:30-18:37 In order to become familiar with Bottom-Up AI, as well as the structure of Fluctlights, on a deeper level, I need to gather data!!
18:37-18:42 That is all. By the way, my campaign pledge……
18:42-18:51 Oh, I know, I'll use my latest tech to make life-sized and life-like Kirito-kun dakimakura and hand them out to each and every one of you!"

18:51-18:57 Rain: "Hey, Seven! Don't you think you're clearly digging into the stranger strata of Japanese culture?"

18:57-19:04 Seven: "Don't you remember how they were selling such dakimakura when we went out to Ikebukuro together. I heard they're a hit with the ladies, or am I wrong?"

19:04-19:09 Rain: "That doesn't mean they're guaranteed to make every single lady happy!"

19:09-19:11 Philia: "Well, I may be interested in getting one."

19:11-19:17 Strea: "I want one toooo! A Kirito dakimakura is sure bound to be cute."

19:17-19:19 Tia: "I wouldn't mind having more than one pillow."

19:19-19:22 Premiere: "I want to give Kirito a 『hagu』, thus one for me please."

19:22-19:29 Yui: "So I will be able to give Papa a huggie even when Papa himself isn't around? In that case, I would like one as well."

19:29-19:32 Seven: "See, I basically got a full house."

19:32-19:36 Rain: "To think that I'd lose an argument with my little sister in this manner～.
19:36-19:40 Though, I do kinda want one too."

19:40-19:46 Seven: "Well then, let's go on. Who's going next, Premiere-chan or Tia-chan?"

19:46-19:50 Premiere: "I am the elder sister, so I will go first.
19:50-19:57 I am Premiere. Kirito is always feeding me some delicious food.
19:57-20:07 Such as Asuna's sandwiches, ramen, and fluffy pastries. I have been taught about a great deal of wonderful food.
20:07-20:14 Thus, I would like to eat delicious food with Kirito again."

20:15-20:16 Philia: "Wait, is that it?"

20:17-20:21 Yui: "Umm, Premiere-san. Was that all you had to say?"

20:21-20:22 Premiere: "Yes."

20:22-20:29 Rain: "Ahaha～What a glutton you are, huh. By the way, what's your campaign pledge, I wonder?"

20:30-20:38 Premiere: "I am Kirito's 『mistruhs』, so I will officially approve of everyone else as his 『mistruhses』 as well."

20:38-20:42 Strea: "Oh wow, that sure makes me happy! That might even be the most tempting campaign pledge of them all!"

20:42-20:46 Philia: "D-doesn't that cause problems in a variety of ways?"

20:46-20:50 Strea: "Aww! Philia, you don't want to be one? A mistress, I mean."

20:50-20:57 Philia: "I would be lying if I said I didn't, but……Wait, no, we can't have that! We don't want to go on that road!"

20:57-21:05 Premiere: "Why is it wrong? Does 『mistruhs』 not refer to someone who cares about Kirito and loves him?"

21:06-21:13 Philia: "Oh, so that's what you meant by 『mistruhs』? Oh, is that all, haha."

21:14-21:19 Rain: "Oh, I see, so we're all 『mistruhses』 then. Including me and Seven!"

21:20-21:24 Seven: "Oh, yeah. Well, let's go with that sense of the word 『for now』."

21:24-21:28 Tia: "Are you sure I can be one too? You told me I couldn't last time."

21:28-21:36 Premiere: "I have come to learn that 『muh-no-puh-laiz-ing』 is a bad thing to do. Since you love Kirito too, Tia, that makes you 『mistruhs』 too."

21:36-21:41 Tia: "Huhu, that makes me happy, like a dream come true."

21:41-21:45 Kureha: "Although they're acting all warm and fuzzy, the world they live in is a bit crazy."

21:45-21:49 Zeliska: "Sheesh, why does Kirito-kun get all these cute girls."

21:49-21:51 Premiere: "Next up is Tia."

21:51-21:58 Tia: "My turn……I……"

21:58-22:01 Strea: "Oh dear, what's the matter, Tia?"

22:01-22:05 Yui: "Do you feel unwell, seeing as you are so downcast?"

22:05-22:08 Tia: "……-ved me (takara)."

22:08-22:10 Philia: "What, you found a treasure (takara)?"

22:10-22:19 Premiere: "No, Tia just said it all too fast. Pardon me, Tia, could you repeat that again?

22:19-22:21 Tia: "Ugh……"

22:21-22:24 Rain: "N-now Tia-chan is beet red in the face."

22:25-22:27 Yui: "Are you all right? Tia-chan"

22:27-22:31 Strea: "Relax. Just take it nice and slow, kay?"

22:31-22:35 Seven: "She's right, the embarrassment only lasts for a moment, so go for it."

22:35-22:40 Tia: "(Deep breath) Phuu…… phuu……
22:40-22:51 Kirito showed me…… what my p-potential is. That's why I'd like to go help Kirito.
22:51-22:57 Kirito is my…… our potential, after all."

22:57-23:05 Yui: "Thanks, Tia-chan. I'm sure Papa thinks of you in the same way, Tia-chan."

23:05-23:09 Tia: "If anyone finds a hole, I'd like to crawl inside."

23:09-23:16 Premiere: "Please bear with it; in return, I'll hold your hand, okay."



(SFX) Pitoh: Premiere and Tia holding hands.



23:17-23:21 Tia: "M…… thanks."

23:21-23:24 Seven: "That was a rather nice story."

23:25-23:29 Rain: "True that. Next up is Strea, I guess?"

23:29-23:32 Strea: "Yep! Well then, here I gooo!
23:33-23:39 Heya, I'm Strea. Like Yui, I'm a mental health counselling program.
23:40-23:52 I just LOOOVE Kirito! I like both his cute, kind, and hard-worker side, as well as how he can be a bit nosy and too nice to all kinds of girls!
23:52-24:03 Also, Kirito is a Papa to my Onee-chan Yui, so he's like family to me too. And family has to stick together, right.
24:03-24:13 I'm sure that Kirito's big ol' heart is busy at work overburdening itself right about now……though Asuna and co probably took some of that burden off him by now, since they went to his side.
24:14-24:21 That's why I'm going there to comfort him. When I give him a big ol' huggie, he's bound to perk up!
24:21-24:27 (Strea thinking for a bit) Let's see, for my campaign pledge……
24:27-24:33 I'll give you all a big 'ol hug to comfort you too! I could even get started on it right away, if you'd like!



(SFX) Tatah: Strea rushes up to a nearby Philia.



24:34-24:35 Strea: "Huggies!"



(SFX) Mogyu: hugging.



24:35-24:38 Philia: "Kyaah! Strea! Don't just cling to me like that!"

24:39-24:43 Strea: "Now then, ooh, I wonder whom should I do next!!!
24:43-24:44 Kureha! Huggies!"

24:44-24:46 Kureha: "ME!?"



(SFX) Tatatatah: footsteps, as Strea continues rushing over to everyone she sets her sights on.



24:47-24:54 Philia N: "(Slightly fretting) And so, Strea's turbulent hug attacks began and some time passed by like that——"



25:03-25:08 Seven: "(Catching her breath in exhaustion) Say…… did everyone get their Appeals done already?"

25:08-25:13 Rain: "(Hugged to exhaustion) Not yet, Seven…… Philia-chan hasn't had hers yet."

25:13-25:16 Kureha: "(Hugged to exhaustion) Oh right, Philia……"

25:16-25:24 Zeliska: "Huhu, to think I'd get into such intimate contact with such cute girls, I sure am blessed～."

25:24-25:30 Seven: "Why exactly did you use the chaos here to sneak in some hugs of your own, Zeliska-chan……?"

25:30-25:36 Yui: "Well then, Philia-san, if you would not mind……please speak up about your feelings for Papa."

25:37-25:41 Philia: "Ehmm……that might be a tough one……"

25:41-25:43 Seven: "Huh? Why?"

25:43-25:47 Rain: "And here I thought that Philia wears her heart on her sleeve the most out of us all."

25:47-25:55 Philia: "M-maybe. But but! Just thinking of how to put it all into words makes it seem like a daunting task."

25:55-25:59 Strea: "Come to think of it, why does Philia love Kirito?"

25:59-26:02 Philia: Huh!? Ehmm……"

26:02-26:08 Yui: "Hmm, now this is a rare sight. To find Philia-san so bewildered."

26:08-26:14 Strea: "Whaaatcha hiding? If you don't spill it right now, I'm gonna tickle you to death!!"



(SFX) Footsteps as Strea rushes over.



26:14-26:16 Strea: "C'mon, coochy-choochy-coo!"

26:16-26:23 Philia: "Hyah, stop it, will ya! Alright already, I'll talk!
26:24-26:36 Like all of you, I've been saved by Kirito in the past. But despite being saved by him, I betrayed Kirito……
26:36-26:42 Maybe, just maybe, Kirito could have possibly died back then all because of me.
26:43-26:51 And yet Kirito forgave me for all that and accepted me as one of his companions.
26:52-26:57 I've never met a guy like that in my entire life.
26:57-27:01 Kirito is a bona fide hero.
27:01-27:06 That's why, just like how Kirito had found me as I wandered about the Hollow Area,
27:07-27:12 I want to be the one to find and save Kirito myself this time."

27:12-27:15 Strea: "ZZZ……ZZZ"

27:15-27:17 Philia: "Wha, you're sleeping?"

27:17-27:19 Strea: "Oh, yeah! That sure was super touching!
27:19-27:20 Thanks, Philia!"

27:20-27:21 Philia: "You really were sleeping right now, weren't you!?"

27:21-27:25 Strea: "Alright, now then, don't y'all think it's time to cast our votes?"

27:25-27:31 Philia: "Uugh…I really feel cheated here, but are we really going to resolve this through a vote!? Wait!!
27:31-27:33 I didn't even get to say my campaign pledge, either!!"

27:34-27:39 Rain: "N-no worries. We heard you loud and clear, okay. Isn't that right, Seven."

27:39-27:43 Seven: (Slightly jealous) Indeed. That suuure was a touching story."

27:43-27:45 Rain: "Sheesh, don't be so sulky."

27:45-27:53 Seven: "Muh, seriously, why does Kirito-kun go about saving girls left and right wherever he goes, I wonder.
27:53-27:56 A girl can get jealous……"

27:56-28:02 Rain: "You do indeed have a point there, but it's not like anything can be done about that. That's just the kind of guy Kirito-kun is."

28:02-28:08 Zeliska: "True. What if he's saving some new girl in this Underworld place as we speak～"

28:08-28:11 Seven: "You never know, it might just be a boy this time."

28:11-28:16 Rain: "That does sound a bit too far-fetched, but I can't really say it's out of the question."

28:16-28:24 Premiere: "In that case, let's approve of him as a new 『mistruhs』 even if they are a boy. We are all companions."

28:24-28:29 Tia: "Having so many companions makes me happy."



(SFX) Vvt-vvt: system announcement warning alert rings out.



28:30 Kureha: "What the!?"

28:30-28:35 System: "Surveillance server outage detected. Initiating preparations for repairs."



28:36-28:40 Zeliska: "Oh dear～ Seems like the server went into repairs.
28:40-28:44 At this rate, we'll probably be spotted in a few more minutes,
28:44-28:49 And then some guardian enemies that even we can't handle will be dispatched after us this time～"

28:49-28:51 Strea: "Uh-oh"

28:51-28:53 Seven: "What are we going to do!
28:53-28:56 We shouldn't have wasted our time without a care in the world like this!"

28:56-28:58 Premiere: "What are we going to do with the vote?"

28:58-28:59 Kureha: "That's the least of our worries right now!"

29:00-29:02 Rain: "Won't we get our accounts banned or something if they find us here!?"

29:02-29:05 Philia: "Strea! Hurry up and send someone out already!"

29:05-29:07 Kureha: "Hold on, whom are we actually sending out in the end!?"

29:07-29:08 Rain: "Janken (rock-paper-scissors)!
29:08-29:10 Let's just figure it out through janken!"

29:10-29:13 Seven: "What's a janken? I've never heard of that!"

29:13-29:19 Rain: "Oh, right! What're we gonna do, we don't have any time; then how about tag! Who's going to be It!?"

29:19-29:21 Kureha: "We SOOOO don't have the time for THAT!"

29:21-29:24 Premiere: "I shall abstain in favour of Tia."

29:24-29:25 Tia: "Why?"

29:25-29:26 Premiere: "I am the big sis here, after all."

29:26-29:31 Tia: "That won't do, Premiere, you're mistruhs number one. You have to go."

29:31-29:35 Zeliska: "Oh, those two are both so nice and cute; what good little girls～"

29:35-29:37 Kureha: "Isn't that all you've been on about the entire day?"



(SFX) Katakata: Strea operating the control room panel with her hands.



29:38-29:42 Strea: "Alright, girls, thanks for your contributions!"

29:42-29:45 Seven: "Contributions? What's that supposed to mean?"



(SFX) Katakata: Strea operating the control room panel with her hands.



29:45-29:53 Strea: "Now then, let's use these supervisor rights——and enter in this new memory data……"



(SFX) Fuwaaan: mechanical sounds of the console accepting the memories.



29:53-29:56 System: "9 entries of memory data, accepted."

29:56-29:58 Seven: "Wait, 9 entries!?
29:58-30:00 What earth did you enter in that you came up with an entire 9 entries!?"

30:00-30:04 Strea: "Oh dear～, did I enter in too much, perhaps～?
30:04-30:05 It's heavy."

30:05-30:08 Philia: "Don't tell me you mixed something up!?"

30:08-30:13 Premiere: "It seems we have no choice; seeing as it has come to this, let's settle things through a 『dyuel』."

30:13-30:16 Rain: "Premiere-chan, let's not get violent here!"



30:16-30:20 System: "Shutting down system. Disabling server."



30:20-30:23 Philia: "Huh."



(SFX) Shuwan: the console closes and the system shuts down.



30:24-30:27 Strea: "Mmh, now that was a fine day of work!!"

30:27-30:29 Seven: "Hey, wait a minute,
30:29-30:30 you didn't send anyone out!
30:30-30:32 And the system closed down!"

30:32-30:36 Strea: "No worries, no worries! Let's head back and get some tea!"

30:36-30:37 Philia: "Why!?
30:37-30:39 There's no way everything's a-okay here!"

30:39-30:41 Yui: "I-I apologise, girls!
30:42-30:44 Please head back for now, just as Strea proposed doing!"

30:44-30:46 Rain: "Yui-chan!?"

30:46-30:47 Yui: "I beseech you!"



The room that belongs to Kirito (evening)



30:55-30:59 Premiere: "Hamu…… mogu……
30:59-31:02 This cake is superb."

31:02-31:05 Tia: "Want a bite out of this one too?"

31:05-31:07 Premiere: "Why, of course."

31:08-31:11 Philia: "Ehm, could you run that by me again?
31:12-31:16 There was too much programming lingo in there that I couldn't make heads or tails out of it."

31:16-31:26 Strea: "Mmh, y'see, simply put we weren't trying to log in per se, but rather we were trying to compile data for all of us that we could then send out to that world instead.
31:26-31:31 Though, the 『hole』 that had opened up this time was way too tiny, so it seems it won't work out just yet～"

31:31-31:35 Rain: "Compile data? Not logging in?
31:35-31:38 Hmmh, I really am still unable to make sense of things here……"

31:39-31:47 Seven: "So what you're basically saying is this. You did figure out what kind of data can be sent to Underworld, and how sending it out works.
31:47-31:55 So, rather than logging us in, you were trying to create AI versions of our personalities and send THEM over instead.
31:55-32:02 Yet, the tunnel linked to Underworld is too small right now, so you aren't able to send the data of even a single person for now, is that it."

32:03-32:05 Strea: "Yep, that's about right～"

32:05-32:12 Rain: "So then, why did we even need to do something as silly as an Appeal Time back there, even if we can't actually do anything for the time being?"

32:12-32:17 Strea: "There might come a day when a bigger 『hole』 than the one we had so far opens up in GGO.

32:17-32:22 I wanted to do some prep work to be able to send out data to Underworld when that time comes."

32:22-32:25 Kureha: "Prep work? What is that supposed to mean?"

32:25-32:27 Yui: "Forgive us for lying to you. 32:28-32:37 In actual fact, the Appeals we had all of you do were necessary to generate personality and thought pattern data for all of you."

32:37-32:47 Zeliska: "Oh, I see. So, the reason why you forced even me and Kureha-chan to introduce ourselves was so that data for us could be loaded～."

32:47-32:49 Strea: "Bingo."

32:49-32:58 Seven: "So basically, that whole process was meant to create AI copies of our thoughts and personalities, I see. In that case, it all makes sense."

32:58-33:08 Rain: "Ehm, it all sounds complicated in many ways, but……in the end, it all boils down to us being unable to head to Underworld right away, right……"

33:08-33:19 Seven: "Well, the acceleration rate is a thing, so I did think it wouldn't be all that easy to figure out. Oh well. Guess we'll have to consider at least getting prep work for sending AI done as progress in and of itself then."

33:19-33:26 Philia: "Right……though it is a shame, I do hope you'll be able to send out our data without any issues when the time comes, right?"

33:26-33:34 Strea: "Yep. with the recording we made back there, we got the AI data compilation down perfectly! Nothing beats live voices, after all!"

33:34-33:36 Seven: "Ah, hey wait a minute.
33:36-33:39 So you're saying that you were recording that thing back there?"

33:40 Rain: "You've gotta be kidding me!
33:41-33:43 If that's true, I'll die from embarrassment!"

33:43-33:50 Premiere: "I see. So that means our relationship to Kirito as his 『mistruhses』 has been set in stone, I take it."

33:50-33:53 Philia: "There are some issues with that phrasing!
33:53-33:55 Uwa～it's so embarassing!"

33:55-34:00 Tia: "Now I really do want to crawl into a hole somewhere."

34:00-34:04 Strea: "It'll be fine, we've ensured that no one other than me and Yui can listen in on the files!"

34:04-34:13 Yui: "It is quite the ordeal to extract information on what a person is really thinking from them, thus we had to tell a lie about holding an Appeal Time to select a single girl……
34:13-34:15 for which, I am truly sorry."

34:15-34:21 Philia: "Oh, you have nothing to apologise for, Yui-chan! Though you can't change the fact that embarrassing things feel a bit embarrassing to do!"

34:21-34:27 Rain: "She's right, don't apologise, Yui-chan. No one's mad at you, after all."

34:27-34:34 Zeliska: "Indeed, after all, the two of you put all of your effort into thinking up a way we could give Kirito-kun our support."

34:35-34:40 Yui: "Yes, I have already conveyed exactly how I felt at the very beginning.
34:40-34:49 To me, all of the people who have formed bonds with Papa are irreplaceable, precious beings.
34:49-34:53 That is exactly why I wanted to go with all of you……
34:53-34:55 that were my thoughts on the matter."

34:55-35:00 Seven: "Yui-chan, you really are, without a shred of doubt, Kirito-kun and Asuna-chan's daughter, aren't you."

35:00-35:03 Premiere: "Indeed, you are just like them."

35:03-35:08 Yui: "Really? If so, I am happy about that.
35:08-35:15 Though, Premiere-chan, you have awfully clear similarities to them as well, perhaps because you were influenced by Papa."

35:15-35:18 Tia: "For example, your gluttonous side."

35:15-35:28 Premiere: "'There's no one in the world who hates delicious stuff', or so Kirito told me. Meaning that I am no special case, but rather a victim of inevitability."

35:28-35:36 Philia: "Huhuh, this side of you is also very similar. Kirito sure does make his influence rub off on a lot of people, after all."

35:36-35:38 Seven: "Influence, huh……
35:38-35:46 Thinking of it that way, there's a chance that Kirito-kun had something to do with the hidden program that had gone into action in Underworld."

35:46-35:56 Zeliska: "I see, so, you're saying the hole linking GGO to Underworld was opened up because of his deeds?"

35:56-36:03 Yui: "Yes……the concept of a 『hunch』 should not have been installed on us AI,
36:03-36:09 and yet for some reason, I have harboured such a sensation all this time."

36:09-36:13 Rain: "Then I'm sure that's the case. His daughter Yui-chan was the one to arrive at that impression, after all."

36:13-36:20 Kureha: "In that case, the moment when the 『hole』 linking Underworld to this world opens up again might not be that far away.
36:20-36:23 Perhaps Kirito-san will pull something off again?"

36:23-36:29 Seven: "Indeed. Though, the question is how he'll manage to make that 『hole』 bigger than last time."

36:29-36:40 Yui: "As a matter of fact, regarding the hidden program that had gone into action, it appears that it was based on some sort of module or something in Underworld when it went into effect."

36:40-36:42 Zeliska: "A module?
36:42-36:45 Hmmh, strange."

36:45-36:49 Yui: "Even I am unaware of why it exists.
36:49-36:56 However, if the module on the Underworld side were to burst into action once again……
36:56-37:03 and thus create a hole big enough for a single person's worth of data to pass through,
37:04-37:09 the data we compiled just now should automatically be sent over to that world."

37:09-37:17 Seven: "Yeah, if this works out, even if we can't go into the accelerated world of Underworld with our AmuSpheres,
37:17-37:22 we would at least be able to send AIs to help him out in our stead."

37:22-37:31 Yui: "Yes. I have come to the conclusion that sending these AI to Underworld would be our best option to help out Papa."

37:31-37:35 Rain: "Yep, I don't know when that'll happen……
37:35-37:39 but I'm sure our AI selves will get the chance to see Kirito-kun again!"

37:40-37:49 Tia: "One's potential requires faith. And I do have faith. In the fact that all of us here will get to see Kirito again."

37:49-37:53 Zeliska: "You've got a point, let's have faith, all together."

37:53-38:00 Kureha: Yeah, people naturally find themselves drawn to Kirito-san's side, so don't you think that this will turn out just the same?"

38:00-38:02 Yui: "Yes, I'm sure it will……"

38:02-38:07 Strea: "Of course it will, now girls, could you all place your hands on top of each other?"

38:07-38:11 Premiere: "Putting hands on top of each other…… what does that mean?"

38:11-38:14 Strea: "A vow that we will get to see Kirito again, without a doubt!
38:14-38:17 Let's all give a ei-ei-oh!!"

38:17-38:20 Seven: "We're not a sports team though."



(SFX) Pachi: Rain places her own hand atop of Strea's.



38:20-38:21 Rain: "Shall we? Seven."

38:21-38:24 Seven: "Whaa, et tu, Onee-chan?"
