[25]

Box: Houreki Era year 2008
Dark City was suddenly invaded by monsters (it may seem like a joke, but this really happened)
Box: With few means to oppose such an overwhelming strength, many humans fell prey to the monsters.

S: Himuro!
How goes the battle?!
H: Battle?! You can't even call it a battle, Shad!
It's a slaughter, completely hopeless!

S: What about Anbus and Nighter!
H: Most likely eaten three days ago.
Polunc, Pete, and Mr. and Mrs. Zetta are all dead.

[26]

H:Ahhh, we're done for! It'll be us next!!!
S: Himuro, giving up too early has always been a bad habit of yours.
H: You seriously want to preach at me at a time like this, you!!

R:---You warriors who fall before overwhelming force
R:Everyone foresees their own death.

H: Who?!
S: You are...

R: Yet, to have given up already
R: when the outcome is not yet set in stone...

[27]

R: I am [one without a name].
But, if you have something to say, you may call me [Kuro].
Box: That's right. That was the first time Kurorat and I met...

Chapter 7
Elevator Game 47F->Next Stage
Box:On that very day, the [Monster Incident] was brought to a close.

[28]
Shirogane Mall
47F

S: Actually...

S: Just when did he start wearing those ridiculous sunglasses, I wonder.

R: That's so mean, calling them ridiculous
R: I really thought they looked pretty cool on me, y'know.

[29]

S: What the heck are you up to...?
R: Aw, what a bland response. Come on, at least act surprised.

R: After all that work to take over the mall's projection system...
Box: In charge of CG: Katana Shirabano

R: There wasn't much time, so we had to settle for a 2D display---
?: 'As if anyone cares'

S: Well? You planning to scurry around some more, Kuro?
R: Hahaha, my apologies.
But, I really am quite weak, after all.
Doing all this running around and so forth is my only chance to win.

[30]

S: 'Still has no chance, I think.'
R: Anyway, I really am weak.

R: No matter how many scrapes I get into,
I still cannot overcome my fear.
R: No matter how much time passes, I remain as weak as ever. Probably, that'll never change, now and forever...
R: No matter how often I face death...I doubt it will make me stronger.

R: Hmm, whatever should I do?
S: Hey, the hell are you blathering on about...?

R: But,
when I look at a DUMB BRUTE like you, I don't really feel so bad, you know?

[31]

R: I've seen how you go gallivanting around.
R: Assassin Knight...Is that what you're supposed to be? Aren't you just showing off?

R: To put it bluntly, you're clearly an idiot.
R: It doesn't matter how much power you have, you know?
Before my strategical planning, you're just like a pig.

R: Yeah! As if someone like you'd be able to kill me~~ Stu~~pid

[32]

S: You know, if you really want to die so bad, I'm more than happy to kill you Kuro.

R: Man, and all the rest of you knights, you're just like him, aren't you?

R: You knights gathered here today, as soon as you lock eyes with someone, you all have to start something.
Seriously, it's like you don't have a brain between the lot of you all.
: Whad'he say?!

R: Guess in the end, the only way to make my point is to beat some sense into you, huh.
R: Since you guys are all showoffs like him.

[33]

R: Come everyone, no need to wait your turn.

Where is the video control room...? That should be where he is...

R: I'll show you all the difference in our levels.

: Very well!
Don't you move an inch from that spot!

All the knights have headed off towards Kuro
S: But, he'll die by my hand...

Box: Hm? All the knights are gathering to Kuro...?
Hasn't something like this happened before?
H: Huh?! You're called Kuro?

[34]

Box: You can't really say that he ever did anything.
H: So? Did you come to fight too?
R: Not exactly...I was evacuating but I got lost...

S: He didn't take command, nor did he ascertain the weaknesses of the monsters
S: And of course, he couldn't fight against the monsters either.

S: As he tried to run away...

S: He'd get involved,...

S: get in the way,...

S: get smacked aside...

S: And yet.

[35]

Box: At the center of everything, he was always right there...

Box: And now, this time...
:Whaaaaa?!

:What the hell is this?!
:It's raining mannequins!!
Box: B8F Womens' apparel Section 3

:Waaaaah!!

:What is thi~~~s?! I can't get free~~~!
Box: 37F Drugstore- Grift

[36]

R: What's the matter everyone? Having trouble?
Box: Video control center
Off limits to non-personnel

R: Hmm, a certain Knight somewhere seems to be fluttering about unable to find me still~~~
:Ah! It's the Assassin Knight!
:Hand over the treasure and your NP, you bastard.

R: I guess even the mighty J-crystal can't do a thing to power up your intell-
S: Shut the hell up!!

S: You better be ready to die Kuro.

R: Hmph...
*ring*

[37]

K: Ah, Kuro-kun.
K: Yeah,
it's almost going too well over on my end.

K: But, y'know, this is---

K: They all keep falling into these childish traps, yea?
It's kind mysterious?
R: There's a reason, Katana.

R: It's because such a provocative declaration came from me, the weakest and least athletic of the knights, that they're being so easily tricked like this.
K: Ahh~, I see

R: But actually...
R: I'd like to end this sort of plan quickly.
I'm not looking forward to all the badmouthing I'm going to get for this.
K: Ahaha

K: Well, this really isn't your style to begin with, after all.

[38]

S: [Everyone gets caught off guard sometimes] was it...I guess so, huh.
Even I have been a bit careless.
S: I really should have known how fearsome you can be considering two years ago.

S: However...It all ends here.
S: This time, I am not unprepared.
I am not underestimating you.
And I will not miss.

S: Fatal mystic arte #337
Hell's Judgment

[39]

R: ---This is what I meant, y'see.

R: when I said that you were careless...Shad.

S: ----
Shit...

[40]

R: I even gave you a major hint that I was using the projection system.
S: 'So it was an image?!!'

R: If only you had stopped to think about it, I'm sure you would have seen right through this...
By the way, the real me is upstairs one floor.

^Fake

S: K~!

[41]

R: Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention,

[42]

R: The indoor water park, [Suns].
R: It's on the other side of that wall, waiting for its grand opening tomorrow.
Along with a ton of water.
R: The rushing water'll set off the firedoors.

Box: The duel between No. 86 and No. 250 has ended.

Box: Results: No. 250 gains 100 NP.

Sign: Wait time to entrance: 200 minutes
Box: Additionally, No. 250 is in possession of the Kurmond Lode spirit stone. +200 NP

3 rank promotions in total
R: Ah~~~, that was scary...
R: I really thought I might die...

[43]

No. 250 wins

R: It's scary no matter how many times I do these things...Just can't get over it...
R: Man, I wonder what I should do...

Box: Kurorat=Jio=Clocks
Rank V
NP 550
R: I guess...
it's just my destiny to keep living like this, weak as I am.

[44]

R:REIDOLL No. 9, designation 9.
R:The cyborg born of the joint project between the Shirabano Group and the Valhano Group.
R:As I thought, it seems like she was here at Shirogane Mall for awhile.
K:Seems that way...
R:Katana, you wouldn't happen to be able to figure out where she was sent, would you?
and the date that she was moved?

Box: But still---
I kind of wonder why we're here trying so hard to find out about her
K: Ok Done!
R: So fast!

[45]
K: The end location is the Shirabano Corporation Headquarters in Dark City Central District.
K: The departure time was...about ten seconds ago.

R: Eh?
Wait...how long ago?!

H: This air transport vehicle guides us to the next stage.

[46]

H: Enjoying the show, everyone?
Perhaps for Kurorat, who somehow managed a victory, these events will also turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

H: However, someday even his luck will sour.

H: And, when that day comes, he too shall know the taste of defeat...

H: Well then, until next we meet again.

Chapter 6
Elevator Game 60G->47F

[5]

S: ...
S: Well done, Kuro~ Just now, I was seriously trying to kill you.
R: Ahaha. I'm surprised myself, dodging all that.

S: Well, it's not like I mind, but
S: The more you keep running, the harder it'll be for you to die in peace, Kuro

R: Come on...You and I
R: Weren't we allies during the 'Monster Incident' before?
Kurorat=Jio=Clocks
Knights member #250

K: Eh--~What's that you say?
K: Kuro-kun, you were acquainted with Shad-san?
Katana=Shirabano
Kurorat's partner

[6]

R: Yeah...It was two years ago. I guess you weren't here in Dark City back then though, huh Katana.
S: How nostalgic. Has it really been two years since that incident...

K: Awesome~ He~y, autograph this for me please~
R: ---He's trying to murder me here, seriously

Box: Shad=Hebimate, the hero of Dark City's West District
Box: Renowned for crusading against the criminals of the dangerous west district, he gained the nickname 'The Assassin Knight'.

S: Ah, that's right. Now that I think about two years ago, I should ask you how that case is progressing?
R: Uh, case?

S: Oh please! You should remember that two years ago, I asked you to research the demon stone.
I take it you must have collected quite a bit of info on it by now.
R: Ah,

R: Actually...I forgot all about that.

[7]

S: Ohhh, is that right, you just forgot, huh?
R: I'm really sorry, it was an honest mistake.
S: Well, not hearing from you at all in two year, I really,

S: should've known. Hammerfall!!!

S: Hey, you're part of the knights too right?
Fight back a little, will ya!!

S: As long as you're a knight, you have to follow the terminal's instructions!!
R: That's not very compelling!

[8]

R: Come on! You joined the knights in order to track down the demon stone!

R: So, why aren't you going to g,
Gyuh~

S: Well yeah, you're right and all, but
S: I thought as long as I'm a member of the knights, I might as well handle any unfinished business, y'know.

K: Kuro-kun, you are still alive, right?!
If you are, say something...
R: *Beep* Of course I am. As if I'd let myself die here.

[9]

K: Wait right there----I'll be right over to help...
R: No, don't!! For now I'll be fine without you.

R: Right now I need you to get the elevator
S: Mystic arte, Tiger Fang

S: You should never abandon your responsibilities!!

R: Ma~n, same as ever, he's such a serious hardhead---!

[10]

S: Gotcha!!
Danger! Gas bomb

S: What?!

R: *pant*x4
*Ding*

[11]

K: Kuro-kun!! I've got the elevator working!
R: Ok, thanks.

K: Geez, that could've turned out bad,
We really need to start carrying some weapons, like a pistol or something, don't y'think?
R: Haha,
but then it would be harder to take advantage of the enemy's negligence, right?

S: Negligence?

S: You really think I'm ever negligent?
S: I'm used to getting burned
thanks to that stupid captain of the Kuuko.

R: Well...
R: Everyone gets caught off guard at least once in their lives.

[12]

R: L, like me just now, for example...

R: Kuh...

S: Shit...Did he purposefully aim for the elevator?

S: Deadly Wrath Shot!!

[13]

S: Wha?!!

K: Ya~~~~~h!!

[14]

S: Ah~
S: Oh~

S: !!

S: The hell was that...?

[15]
R: What were you thinking---?!!
R: I was so shocked, I thought I was going to have a heart attack!!

K: You mean this?
It's our new product, the beam saber.
R: Don't go making it more difficult with something like that----!!!

K: Shad-san'll probably have to pull the breaks.
K: Ah, the power's been cut.
R: We're splitting up for now, got it?!

It's been awhile since I've seen Kuro-kun show his anger.
K: Ok, let's think of some counter-measures.
I'll do anything, as long as it's within my power, ok?
R: ~~~~!!

[16]

K: E~~h?!

K: Wait a minute, Kuro-kun!
K: That's, I just can't do it...
Or rather, that's just too much responsibility!

R: Just stop. I'm not going to listen to any objections.
K: Ku...Kuro-kun, please don't be mad.
R: I'm not mad, not mad at a~~ll.

R: Ok, commencing special operations.
Shouldn't you get going?!
K: Uuh~~~

[17]

R: Well...now then.
R: At least Katana's taken care of the first part.

R: No turning back now I guess.

: Over there! Found the demon stone!
:Wait, that could be a fake.

H: So you guys are after it too huh.
The demon stone, I mean.

: Not to worry!
When the two of us are together, even the Assassin Knight is no problem.
R: Yeah, no wait, that's not what I was worried about.
S: Hmm,
But, you all should know about it right? The effect that carrying a spirit stone has on the holder?

box: 47F Food court

[18]

:Yeah, it's 'attraction'
S :With the emblem imbued within the spirit stone, it'll attract all sorts of things.

S:Such as people or money...Yeah, I guess attracting customers would be pretty useful for a department store, wouldn't it?
S :Ah, but in the case of the Kurmond Lode spirit stone, what it attracts is,
Evil!! It attracts those with maliciious intents.

R: I see.
R: So that's why someone like you who wishes to exterminate evil has such an interest in this thing...

[19]

Now that I think about it, it's true...The knights after this stone...No, the knights drawn by this stone are
mostly those you could say have some degree of wickedness to them.

S: I told you to stop running!
S: Don't you care? If you keep doing this, your rank will keep dropping.

No. 73, 207
Unable to fight
2 rank demotion
-200 NP

R: I'll be fine. This time I made sure to take precautions beforehand.

S: Precautions?
:*beep*

No. 86
Fleeing from duel
Demoted to rank D
-100 NP

[20]

S: ?!
Why am I losing NP?!

R: Hmmm, you said you'd do anything to help out, right...?
K: Yeah...but...what exactly did you have in mind...?
R: Okay, take this for a bit.

R: You don't mind taking over as a knight for a while do you?
K: Eh?

Kurorat Jio Clocks
Rank Y

[21]

Katana Shirabano
(commissioned)
Rank U

K:!?!?!
R: So now there's no problem if I run around as much as I like.
R: And, since he'll be the one 'running away' I guess he'll be the one losing ranks instead.

K: Are you sure this is okay Kuro-kun?

?: Found you Mr. Assassin Knight!

?: Hand over the Demon Stone.
S: I can't, I don't have it.
?: Die please.
Must be tough being popular.

[22]

S: ---- So you choose to [escape] again, huh!
S: You're such a sad and cowardly man.

S: You can't even match up to me as one of the major players of Dark City.
S: So then...!!

S: Do you really think a piece of scum like you would ever be able to obtain 'it'?!!

Box: Shirogane Mall
Mall Entrance Queue

E: It'll be ok.

[23]

E: Since it's you, I'm sure you've already noticed.
E: Yes, the fact that [that] actually isn't such an impossible task.
Box: Et Ayle
A girl who lived in the same apartment complex as Kurorat

H:Thank you for coming to Shirogane Mall today~!
I am Key-chan, the character projected before you all~~
H:Make sure to buy lots of stuff, everyone~~!

H:I especially like those of you who purchase expensive things~~~!

R: So the Kurmond Lode spirit stone attracts those with malicious intent...does it now?

[24]

R: But right now, I'm the one who has it.

R: If I use the many peculiarities of this shopping mall to my advantage...

R:It may just be easier than I thought to beat him, that Assassin Knight...
