Hecate...
mayowazu ni ima mujun darake no sekai o sono te de uchihanate
迷わずに今 矛盾だらけの世界を その手で撃ち放て
Take aim at this paradoxical world and pull the trigger without hesitation.

こぼれた涙の温もりで
Once I felt the warmth of a falling tear

優しさを知ったはずなのに
I thought I’d understood what kindness was

どうして また傷つけ合って
But why do I continue to cause pain
nikushimi o umidashiteyukundarou
憎しみを生み出してゆくんだろう
Giving birth to more hatred
kishimu you na itami shitta sono tsuyosa ga

This pain creaks and groans, but the strength it’s given me
itsuka mirai o yasashiku tsutsumu no nara

Will someday gently envelope the future

GGO, Wasteland Field
Hey, Dyne...
Are they really coming?
Are you sure your information is good?
I checked their route myself.
I'm sure of it.
The monster spawns are probably good, so they're clearing them out.
That means more money for you.
No complaining.
But aren't these guys the same ones we hit last week?
Isn't it possible they got scared and changed their route?
Monster-hunting squadrons...
don't care if they get attacked as long as they earn enough hunting.
They're wonderful prey for player-hunting squadrons like ours.
They're like monsters, moving by algorithm.
They have no pride.
That's right.
They're all equipped with energy weapons for hunting monsters.
As long as we have defence fields ready, they're easy prey.
But couldn't they have some kind of contingency plan for us?
They can't easily get that many physical guns to attack humans.
At best, they'll have one support weapon.
And...
The best sniper in GGO will take care of that for us.
The plan's perfect.
Right, Sinon?
Yeah.
Well, that's probably true.
With Sinon's long-range attack, we're in great shape.
That's right.
Well... if, and I do mean if, Sinocchi were to miss,
I'll buy us the sixty seconds she'll need to move...
and reset the enemy ID information.
Listen to you...
So anyway, Sinocchi...
You free after this?
I found a gun shop with a great selection,
and we could go hang out afterwards...
I'm sorry, Ginrou-san.
After this, I have something to do in the real world.
I see...
In the real world, you're a student, aren't you?
Got a report to write or something?
Something like that.
Ginrou-san, you're bothering Sinon-san.
Don't talk about the real world here.
That's right.
Even if you're a lonely solo player, both here and there.
What?! You guys haven't had a date in years, either.
Cut it out, you guys-
They're here.
Then it's finally time...
Yeah, it's them.
One, two, three, four, five... Seven?
There's one more than last week.
Four in the front row with energy blasters.
One with a high-calibre laser rifle.
And...
One with a physical gun, a Minimi.
That's the target, then.
The last one's wearing a cloak, so I can't see what he has.
A cloak?
Yeah.
Think it could be that guy Death Gun everyone's talking about?
No way.
No way someone like that exists.
He's probably a transporter who put all his points into strength.
He's carrying ammo, energy packs, or the items they've earned.
You can ignore him during the battle.
I don't like the look of that guy.
I want to attack the one in the cloak first.
Why?
He isn't carrying any real weaponry.
I don't have a solid reason...
I just don't like the fact that he's an unknown.
But that Minimi's a problem, too.
If we get stuck dealing with it, and the blasters get close, it'll be trouble.
All right.
I'll target the Minimi first.
If I can, I'll hit the caped one with my next round.
Hey, we're running out of time...
They're 2,500 metres away.
Okay, we'll follow the original plan and advance to the building's shadow up ahead to await the enemy.
Sinon, if the situation changes, let us know.
I'll tell you when to fire.
Roger.
Okay, let's go!
We're in position.
Roger.
The enemy hasn't changed course or speed.
They're 400 metres from you, 1,500 from me.
That's pretty far.
Can you do it?
I'll be fine.
Okay, open fire.
I'm counting on you, Sinon.
Roger.
This pressure,
this unease...
This terror...
1,500 metres?
That's like tossing a wad of paper in a wastebasket.
Yes...
Yes... Compared to that time...
Next.
I won't be able to change position...
Objective one, clear.
Objective two, fail.
Roger.
Stand by there.
Go! Go! Go!
That's...
A Minigun!
They weren't late because their hunt ran long.
It was the movement penalty due to the Minigun's weight.
I knew it. These guys are gonna be easy.
That look on his face...
Does that mean he's strong enough to smile on the battlefield?
That guy...
I'm going to kill him!
It's coming!
Damn it...
Don't let him get any closer!
G-Got it!
There's nowhere left to hide...
Damn it!
Sinon?
Sinon!
They...
They hired a bodyguard.
A bodyguard?
That guy with the Minigun.
He's a macho guy named Behemoth.
If we keep hiding, they'll wipe us all out.
He should be running low on Minigun ammo.
If we all attack at once, he may hesitate to go all-out.
Jin and Miso will approach from the left.
Dyne and I will go around from the right.
Storm, you stay here and back us up.
It's impossible.
There's still three guys with blasters out there.
If we head in, our defensive fields won't...
Blasters can't fire as fast as physical weapons.
We can dodge half of them.
It's impossible!
If we run in, the Minigun will rip us apart.
It's too bad, but let's give up.
I'd rather log out than give them a victory...
Logging out doesn't mean you'll escape.
What?
It's just a game, don't take it so seriously!
We'll die even if we run-
Then die!
In the game, at least be brave enough to run towards the guns and die!
Just three seconds...
Keep the Minigun occupied for three seconds, and I'll take him down.
O-Okay.
All right...
We'll split up and attack from both sides.
Right.
Go!
Dyne, back me up!
How do you like that, huh?
Damn it all!
Got him.
Nice guts.
But...
I need to move into Behemoth's blind spot somehow...
He won't be able to pinpoint my location just yet.
He's strong enough to smile on the battlefield.
I'll kill him.
And I, too...
The end.
Stronger...
I have to be stronger...
Silica!
I'm not the person I used to be!
L-Leafa-chan!
Leave it to me.
Now!
Liz-san!
Chest!
Yay!
Okay, okay...
Did we get the materials?
I have most of what I need...
We can keep going.
Lizbeth's Smith Shop has helped us a lot...
Don't worry about asking us.
Thanks.
But...
I think we've basically cleared this place out...
Let's take a break until they respawn.
Yeah.
They're sure in love...
It isn't fair!
Now, now...
Jeez!
They can't keep their hands off each other at school or in ALO.
Are they like that at school?
They are.
Hey, Asuna...
There's something I want to talk to you about.
