WEBVTT

00:05.773 --> 00:09.573
Well, it took us a while,
but we finally made it here.

00:10.733 --> 00:13.243
I didn't think that would happen to us.

00:13.573 --> 00:15.493
It's like that "Cow Head" story.

00:15.783 --> 00:20.083
It's your fault, Utsuro.
Running ahead on your own again...

00:21.203 --> 00:22.793
<i>That's why I told you!</i>

00:22.793 --> 00:24.503
<i>Stop being a hotheaded idiot!</i>

00:26.633 --> 00:28.383
Sh-Shut up!

00:28.383 --> 00:29.343
I wanted to...

00:29.343 --> 00:30.633
Wanted to what?

00:32.763 --> 00:34.633
That's enough, rookies.

00:34.803 --> 00:37.343
Looks like we made it here safely.

00:38.303 --> 00:40.513
Our next investigation target.

00:41.353 --> 00:42.523
So this is the place...

00:42.893 --> 00:45.023
Be careful from this point.

00:45.603 --> 00:48.063
We don't know what's hiding where...

00:49.193 --> 00:51.033
Oboro!

00:51.363 --> 00:52.573
Are you okay?

00:57.073 --> 00:58.283
Don't touch me.

00:58.783 --> 01:00.203
I'm fine.

01:00.493 --> 01:02.333
What the hell happened?

01:20.473 --> 01:21.973
I don't know.

01:32.733 --> 01:34.243
URON MIRAGE

02:54.613 --> 02:59.993
<b>URON MIRAGE
CHAPTER 119: THE PHASEY HUNT, PART 4</b>

02:55.443 --> 02:56.783
I don't know.

02:57.033 --> 03:01.113
My blank guard was active.
But it came from behind so quickly...

03:01.113 --> 03:03.283
Damn it, I let my guard down.

03:03.493 --> 03:05.783
Hah, you let me down.

03:05.953 --> 03:07.123
What?

03:07.123 --> 03:11.673
I'm saying that it's not like you
to be so careless on the battlefield!

03:11.793 --> 03:14.423
What did you say?
What the hell do you even know?

03:18.093 --> 03:21.383
Dragon and Tiger, if but steered the wagon,
would be a taiko festival.

03:21.383 --> 03:23.053
That's enough bickering.

03:25.683 --> 03:27.813
It's just as Commander Fuwa had predicted.

03:28.273 --> 03:32.563
The phasey are indeed hiding
inside the run-down building.

03:32.733 --> 03:35.153
What is this place, anyway?

03:35.653 --> 03:38.823
The sign has rotted away
and it's not really legible.

03:38.823 --> 03:42.323
-- RESEARCH FACILITY

03:39.283 --> 03:41.993
Er, nyer... Research Facility.

03:42.533 --> 03:46.663
Seems like it's a facility
that was used to research something.

03:47.203 --> 03:48.623
Let's hurry up and go!

03:48.703 --> 03:51.963
We can't let them escape like they did
in the Recapturing Chaos disaster.

03:52.163 --> 03:53.253
Wait!

03:54.673 --> 03:58.303
Hurried arches of the foot
will not allow for lovingly steamed food.

03:58.423 --> 04:02.723
Young rookies will always panic
and make mistakes. Follow my orders.

04:04.513 --> 04:08.473
I will go east, and Sagiri will go
infiltrate from the west building.

04:08.723 --> 04:11.393
Utsuro and Oboro, you will both wait here.

04:11.393 --> 04:14.353
Wait until one of us calls for backup.

04:14.523 --> 04:18.363
How long are you going
to treat us like novices, Senpai?

04:18.863 --> 04:24.243
We're Feints now, too! So we're
good enough to watch your back.

04:24.743 --> 04:26.163
Oboro.

04:27.373 --> 04:29.373
You're speaking quite a lot today.

04:29.703 --> 04:32.003
Then, I shall teach you one thing.

04:32.413 --> 04:36.503
You know what they say
about chatty lions on the battlefield...

04:37.673 --> 04:39.133
Zack! Behind you!

04:42.803 --> 04:44.133
<i>It is ineffective.</i>

04:45.763 --> 04:47.093
Stand back.

04:48.893 --> 04:51.063
Would you look at that,
Zack's gonna do "that."

04:51.063 --> 04:52.143
"That"?

04:52.143 --> 04:55.903
It's just way too fast,
so no one's really seen it.

04:56.353 --> 04:59.113
Zack Balan's ultimate move!

05:02.363 --> 05:04.153
Oh no, Zack!

05:04.743 --> 05:07.743
What? Zack got eaten!

05:07.743 --> 05:09.913
And he was trying to do something.

05:10.203 --> 05:12.913
It's fine, there's no need to worry.

05:13.123 --> 05:15.793
Then, you're saying Zack is alive?

05:18.083 --> 05:19.673
That's about half true.

05:21.053 --> 05:26.223
It's unclear, but I kind of remember
faintly hearing something about

05:26.223 --> 05:28.843
how phasey crave the power of Feints.

05:28.843 --> 05:35.233
From that, we might be able
to predict with some certainty

05:35.233 --> 05:38.313
that they might want
to absorb Zack's powers.

05:43.113 --> 05:45.823
Oh my, while I was talking...

05:46.243 --> 05:47.823
a whole host of them have arrived!

05:47.823 --> 05:51.493
Sagiri! Were there supposed to be
this many phaseys here?

05:51.493 --> 05:52.833
Who knows?

05:53.203 --> 05:56.463
<i>Damn those old guys.
That trap was a fake.</i>

05:57.163 --> 05:59.793
<i>So that means
they made a decoy look like a bluff.</i>

06:01.633 --> 06:04.463
Utsuro! Oboro!
I'm going to go save Zack.

06:06.133 --> 06:08.183
I'm saying that
I'm leaving this place to you!

06:11.053 --> 06:14.273
Your Body Feints are unknown, right?

06:14.643 --> 06:17.563
Then you'll be able
to easily overcome this challenge!

06:19.943 --> 06:21.063
Yessir!

06:25.443 --> 06:27.443
Don't slow me down.

06:27.613 --> 06:28.823
Back at ya!

06:29.113 --> 06:32.033
They told me to aim for the top,
and that lit a fire in me!

06:38.333 --> 06:41.583
Commander Fuwa,
what do you plan to do?

06:42.503 --> 06:45.633
Honoka, you've grown so much.

06:45.633 --> 06:48.383
It's sexual harassment
to refer to a woman's age.

06:48.383 --> 06:49.803
No.

06:50.683 --> 06:52.223
I meant your measurements.

06:52.223 --> 06:53.933
Have you gone mad?

06:54.813 --> 06:58.853
The Elders will not keep quiet
about your unorthodox methods.

07:04.523 --> 07:05.573
Wait!

07:05.573 --> 07:07.863
We don't want to involve you!

07:07.943 --> 07:10.993
You're off your guard, Teach.

07:11.203 --> 07:12.413
But...

07:12.413 --> 07:14.203
We have no idea

07:14.203 --> 07:16.293
what will happen out there!

07:16.743 --> 07:21.253
Even if you think about it,
the answer is in a grove.

07:23.133 --> 07:26.843
We're going with Sagiri and Zack-senpai!

07:28.843 --> 07:32.643
Commander, do you plan
to initiate a coup?

07:33.553 --> 07:36.313
Or perhaps you're...

07:40.233 --> 07:41.773
It's neither.

07:43.233 --> 07:44.613
But...

07:45.233 --> 07:47.273
it's also both.

07:57.703 --> 07:58.663
No good.

07:58.993 --> 08:03.083
Our cuts are meaningless.
Are phasey immortal?

08:03.293 --> 08:04.793
How should I know?

08:05.253 --> 08:07.293
Don't they have any weaknesses?

08:07.293 --> 08:09.053
Don't ask me!

08:09.263 --> 08:11.803
What's a phasey anyway?

08:12.973 --> 08:15.053
There's something I noticed.

08:15.343 --> 08:18.063
Their movements are too simple.

08:18.183 --> 08:19.853
It's like they're on autopilot.

08:19.853 --> 08:22.813
They're not phaseys, they're phantoms!

08:22.813 --> 08:25.813
They're just puppets who take orders
from the main body.

08:25.983 --> 08:28.273
So only one is real?

08:28.273 --> 08:30.073
No wonder I couldn't cut them down.

08:30.283 --> 08:33.743
Phantoms can only move
according to their orders.

08:33.743 --> 08:35.613
And those orders are probably...

08:35.613 --> 08:37.703
"Attack from behind,"

08:37.873 --> 08:40.953
and "halt your movements when
directly facing a sword wielder."

08:41.203 --> 08:42.163
So, in other words!

08:42.163 --> 08:44.583
Don't show them your back
even if you're surrounded.

08:47.253 --> 08:49.553
Hey, why are you at my six, huh?

08:49.553 --> 08:51.053
Right back at ya.

08:51.213 --> 08:53.843
We'll reveal the main body. Jump!

08:53.843 --> 08:55.593
Don't order me around!

08:58.683 --> 09:00.473
Fleeting Reflection!

09:05.063 --> 09:06.103
There it is!

09:09.573 --> 09:12.403
This time, I'll show you who's stronger.

09:13.363 --> 09:17.363
Who cares? Let that stay uncertain.

09:19.533 --> 09:21.453
Let's go in one go!

09:29.673 --> 09:31.303
Zack!

09:41.893 --> 09:43.433
Let's go in one go!

09:43.723 --> 09:45.433
So this is Uron Mirage?

09:45.603 --> 09:47.103
That's right, Moi!

09:47.103 --> 09:50.193
It's super popular right now,
and Kuku really likes it!

09:50.193 --> 09:53.033
Yeah, but why is, "go in one go"
the signature line?

09:53.033 --> 09:56.703
I'm not really sure,
but it's definitely going in one go!

09:56.703 --> 10:00.203
Those vague and unknown things
are what's making it great!

10:03.043 --> 10:04.703
I don't get it at all.

10:19.513 --> 10:24.273
<b>DIARY OF MY FAVORITE ARTIST</b>

10:23.893 --> 10:27.273
<i>My right hand has white for his coat,
and orange for his hair.</i>

10:27.603 --> 10:31.483
<i>My left hand has navy from his uniform,
and of course red for his scarf.</i>

10:31.903 --> 10:34.283
<i>My favorite character inspired nails
from Uron Mirage.</i>

10:35.733 --> 10:36.493
<i>Wait a second.</i>

10:36.823 --> 10:42.033
<i>They're literally "in my hands."
Utsuro is my right, and Oboro is my left!</i>

10:42.033 --> 10:44.243
<i>I can do anything now.</i>

10:45.583 --> 10:46.953
<i>It makes me want to pray.</i>

10:47.753 --> 10:49.753
<i>Let's upload it to Chitter.</i>

10:49.753 --> 10:52.083
<i>I think I might get a lot of likes from this.</i>

10:52.423 --> 10:55.383
DENGEKI MELON

10:58.013 --> 11:00.093
There's been a lot of tardiness lately.

11:00.093 --> 11:03.303
This time of year might have you feeling
lazy, but please try to stay focused.

11:03.303 --> 11:04.643
Okay, thank you.

11:04.643 --> 11:06.973
Stand. Bow.

11:19.403 --> 11:21.413
Nico, wanna get parfaits?

11:21.413 --> 11:22.323
Yeah!

11:22.493 --> 11:23.533
Yeah!

11:23.533 --> 11:25.583
I don't remember inviting you guys!

11:28.543 --> 11:31.583
And then after that, Oboro said that line!

11:31.673 --> 11:34.003
"They told me to aim for the top,
and that lit a fire in me!"

11:35.923 --> 11:40.303
I thought the scene with Utsuro
and Ms. Honoka was kinda cute.

11:40.513 --> 11:43.763
When he said,
"You're off your guard, Teach."

11:45.513 --> 11:47.063
And then Sagiri's blah blah.

11:47.063 --> 11:48.813
Well, Zack Balan blah blah.

11:48.813 --> 11:54.063
Blah blah blah-blah, blah blahblah.
And then, blah lah, blah. So funny!

11:54.233 --> 11:59.573
Totally blah it. It's bleep-bloop blah blah.
My favorite blerb bler blurh and blah blah!

11:59.743 --> 12:00.613
Blah!

12:00.693 --> 12:01.863
Blah!

12:06.623 --> 12:11.463
<i>Yuri Makuwa, Class 1-3's homeroom teacher,
and Kuku aka Kukumi Ureshino,</i>

12:11.463 --> 12:18.003
<i>are otaku friends who share a love of
the currently airing shonen hit "Uron Mirage."</i>

12:18.463 --> 12:23.263
Yesterday, Haimi... er, you posted
a wonderful illustration.

12:23.473 --> 12:26.973
We got a side-eye glance! I was so excited
I had to cover my mouth.

12:26.973 --> 12:34.653
And this is only my assumption,
but Oboro is slightly... smiling... right?

12:37.653 --> 12:42.153
Haimi, isn't this your first time drawing
Oboro's smile? It's the best thing ever!

12:42.153 --> 12:44.783
And when this week's end card
outed him as a dog person,

12:44.783 --> 12:46.993
I would've understood
if it was Utsuro, but Oboro?

12:46.993 --> 12:49.203
My entire feed was buzzing with excitement.

12:49.203 --> 12:51.833
I also love your color choices, too.

12:51.833 --> 12:55.253
This analogous color scheme
is really great. Oh...

12:55.673 --> 12:57.083
I'm so sorry.

12:57.083 --> 12:59.803
I shouldn't go on about my opinions
in front of the actual person, huh?

12:59.803 --> 13:01.513
No, it makes me happy.

13:03.013 --> 13:05.183
I'm also very happy, too.

13:05.183 --> 13:09.893
You have allowed me to befriend you
when I worshipped you as a god.

13:11.473 --> 13:14.853
Normally I would be prostrating before
you while never making eye contact.

13:14.853 --> 13:17.103
Aww, please get used to it, Ms. Makuwa.

13:17.943 --> 13:22.233
<i>Ureshino and I are the same otaku,
but our stances are strikingly different.</i>

13:22.693 --> 13:28.203
<i>My creed is that, "otaku shall forever
hide in the shadows." However...</i>

13:30.033 --> 13:33.123
<i>even though I became
otaku friends with Ureshino,</i>

13:33.123 --> 13:37.793
<i>I haven't revealed that my Chitter
account name is Dengeki Melon.</i>

13:38.133 --> 13:42.253
<i>I'm still way too embarrassed
to expose my online self to her.</i>

13:42.553 --> 13:46.263
<i>On the other hand, she's enjoying
her hobby to the fullest out in the open.</i>

13:46.263 --> 13:49.763
<i>Even though we're the same otaku, I can
feel the generational gap between us.</i>

13:50.473 --> 13:52.683
<i>We have a student-teacher relationship,</i>

13:52.813 --> 13:56.983
<i>but she's also my dear friend and a godlike
illustrator who draws fantastic art.</i>

13:57.393 --> 14:00.113
<i>I don't want her to be put off by reactions
that are ingrained in my head.</i>

14:00.113 --> 14:02.273
<i>I really don't want my goddess
to hate me.</i>

14:02.863 --> 14:04.243
<i>I need to be careful.</i>

14:04.863 --> 14:07.913
Ms. Makuwa, I actually wanted
to talk to you about something.

14:08.533 --> 14:12.623
I draw illustrations and love it
when people online look at it.

14:12.623 --> 14:15.043
But lately, I've been feeling
like that's not enough.

14:15.043 --> 14:18.293
THEN WHAT THE HELL
WAS THAT THING YESTERDAY?

14:15.293 --> 14:18.293
U.M. has some pretty
unique dialogue, right?

14:18.713 --> 14:23.303
So I'll do my best when drawing, but
it doesn't hold a candle to their one-liners.

14:18.713 --> 14:23.303
IT WAS LIKE A DARK HOT POT PARTY
IN THE GROVE

14:23.553 --> 14:25.133
All right.

14:25.263 --> 14:26.673
<i>Hold on a sec there, Haimi.</i>

14:26.923 --> 14:30.053
So one time, I added a speech bubble
to one of my illustrations,

14:30.053 --> 14:31.723
and filled it in with a phrase.

14:30.053 --> 14:31.723
YOU WOULDN'T LOSE TO A GUY LIKE THAT.

14:31.853 --> 14:35.063
And then my heart couldn't stop racing.

14:35.223 --> 14:37.773
<i>Oh, no. Please, say no more.</i>

14:38.023 --> 14:40.943
<i>If you say what I think
you're going to say, I might faint.</i>

14:41.193 --> 14:45.823
And so... I thought that
I'd like to try it, too.

14:45.823 --> 14:47.573
It's a little embarrassing though.

14:47.863 --> 14:49.953
<i>Please! Don't go any further!</i>

14:50.993 --> 14:52.833
I started drawing manga.

14:56.163 --> 14:58.043
W-Wow.

14:58.663 --> 15:00.923
That's definitely a new challenge for you.

15:02.173 --> 15:03.543
<i>Holy fricking frick, man!</i>

15:03.543 --> 15:05.303
<i>My fave fan artist
is gonna start drawing manga!</i>

15:05.303 --> 15:07.463
<i>Have I died and gone to heaven?
Yay, yay!</i>

15:08.053 --> 15:09.343
<i>O' God.</i>

15:09.633 --> 15:15.353
So, um... It's still a rough draft,
but I brought it with me.

15:18.563 --> 15:20.603
- My eyes! Oh, no!
- Ms. Makuwa?

15:20.813 --> 15:25.443
<i>It's shining! Just like that time Michio Maga
beheld Mr. Tezuka's manga draft!</i>

15:26.073 --> 15:28.153
It's my first time drawing manga,

15:28.153 --> 15:31.493
but I was able to divide the page
into panels like cutting cake.

15:31.663 --> 15:32.823
<i>Is she a genius?</i>

15:32.823 --> 15:36.163
But I can't tell if it's interesting or not.

15:36.453 --> 15:40.123
Ms. Makuwa, you know more about manga
than I do, so can you take a look?

15:49.763 --> 15:54.263
<i>Wow, wow! Haimi's unique touch that
adds cuteness and sexiness to the page.</i>

15:54.263 --> 15:55.973
THANKS TO YOU, I LEARNED
SOMEWHAT OF A NEW SKILL.

THIS ISN'T MUCH, BUT TAKE IT.
IT'S GOOD.

THANKS.

15:54.643 --> 15:57.473
<i>The characters are moving!
And talking!</i>

15:56.223 --> 15:57.773
THAT WAS JUST LUCK.
IT'S NOT LIKE ANYONE WON.

I THINK.

TEEHEE.

15:58.183 --> 16:00.603
<i>Oh! This is...</i>

16:02.063 --> 16:03.523
<i>pretty dang normal.</i>

16:03.813 --> 16:06.653
<i>What? Have I lost my touch?</i>

16:07.483 --> 16:11.863
<i>No, Haimi's distinct, translucent
characteristics have died.</i>

16:12.283 --> 16:15.783
<i>It's fine that the lack of information
makes situations difficult to understand.</i>

16:15.783 --> 16:17.953
<i>However, the panels are divided thinly,</i>

16:17.953 --> 16:20.753
<i>and because the faces are the same size
in every panel, it feels monotonous.</i>

16:20.753 --> 16:24.253
<i>It's difficult to understand the characters'
feelings, which is the most important thing.</i>

16:24.253 --> 16:26.883
<i>Haimi can successfully
capture emotions in her art.</i>

16:26.883 --> 16:30.303
<i>She's already beginning to show that
in her one page illustrations.</i>

16:30.763 --> 16:34.133
<i>The case stems from Haimi
not reading a lot of manga,</i>

16:34.133 --> 16:36.893
<i>so she doesn't quite understand
how to make them.</i>

16:37.643 --> 16:38.893
<i>When it comes to creating worlds
in the 2D medium,</i>

16:38.893 --> 16:42.063
<i>readers are looking for, "the same character
with mutual feelings for loving their world,"</i>

16:42.063 --> 16:44.313
<i>and, "the coincidence of what I was feeling
becomes visualized and verbalized in 2D."</i>

16:44.313 --> 16:46.023
<i>With her extraordinary sense of interpretation
and expressive prowess,</i>

16:46.023 --> 16:47.313
<i>she was fulfilling that at a high level.</i>

16:47.313 --> 16:49.443
<i>But in these small panels,
those abilities aren't shining through.</i>

16:49.443 --> 16:51.823
<i>If you were a veteran otaku woman, then you
can grasp "something" from that outpour.</i>

16:51.823 --> 16:53.283
<i>But these new fans
heavily rely on impressions.</i>

16:53.283 --> 16:55.993
<i>Can we expect newbie otaku who just
became fans to comprehend that?</i>

16:55.993 --> 16:56.623
<i>The answer is no!</i>

16:56.623 --> 16:57.953
<i>Haimi has the talent, the originality,
and a deep passion for the manga.</i>

16:57.953 --> 17:00.043
<i>But the U.M. fandom is full of skilled creators
at the height of their careers.</i>

17:00.043 --> 17:02.293
<i>There aren't many fans with the time
or patience to go hunting for hidden gems!</i>

17:02.293 --> 17:03.163
<i>The current otaku are busy!</i>

17:03.163 --> 17:04.713
<i>At this rate, this small bud that just
came to life will get buried underneath.</i>

17:04.713 --> 17:06.753
<i>If it's not as popular as her illustrations,
she'll think, "Maybe drawing manga isn't for me,"</i>

17:06.753 --> 17:07.963
<i>or, "A person like me should just stick
with one page illustrations forever."</i>

17:07.963 --> 17:08.753
<i>Those are the conclusions
she might come to.</i>

17:08.753 --> 17:10.383
<i>Therefore, the possibility of a number of divine
works being created will be lost forever.</i>

17:10.383 --> 17:11.423
<i>Am I supposed to let that happen?</i>

17:11.423 --> 17:13.593
<i>Hey Dengeki Melon, are you just going to witness
a giant raw gemstone being thrown away?</i>

17:13.593 --> 17:17.803
<i>Could you do something so selfish?
Well, Melon? What's it gonna be?</i>

17:19.313 --> 17:20.393
It was quite fantastic-melon.

17:20.683 --> 17:23.063
Really? Wait, melon?

17:23.273 --> 17:26.233
First, the expressions
on the characters are great.

17:26.233 --> 17:28.813
It really made me think
how amazing manga is.

17:29.023 --> 17:32.443
I do really like it when I can see
my favorite character's face a lot.

17:32.693 --> 17:33.943
<i>I can't go on like this.</i>

17:34.403 --> 17:36.033
The story is really good, too.

17:36.033 --> 17:39.493
They just passed by each other
in front of a vending machine. How exciting.

17:39.493 --> 17:42.793
Utsuro buying a ton of Yobick
was quite endearing, too.

17:42.793 --> 17:46.753
Yes, I knew you'd get it!
I'm so happy!

17:46.753 --> 17:49.543
And then this destructively excellent angle.

17:49.543 --> 17:52.673
A composition where big innocent eyes
are looking down on you, plus that backlight!

17:53.133 --> 17:56.683
I have to applaud you for trying
that idea with Utsuro of all people.

17:58.053 --> 17:59.683
<i>Of course, it's not terrible.</i>

18:00.053 --> 18:02.683
<i>An ordinary person
won't be able to draw this much.</i>

18:03.143 --> 18:07.483
<i>However, if the goal is to convey
Haimi's charms to a large audience,</i>

18:07.483 --> 18:09.563
<i>then there are several points
that need to be addressed.</i>

18:10.443 --> 18:11.943
But I wonder.

18:13.153 --> 18:14.943
Instead of showing it to one amateur,

18:15.073 --> 18:17.533
why don't you ask your online followers?

18:17.533 --> 18:19.283
You have so many of them.

18:19.283 --> 18:20.573
Oh, but...

18:20.913 --> 18:25.083
I think it'll be embarrassing to upload
such a rough draft to the internet.

18:25.293 --> 18:27.003
That's not necessarily true.

18:27.003 --> 18:29.543
I'm sure they'll celebrate
you challenging yourself.

18:29.963 --> 18:33.963
Okay. I guess I'll try uploading it tonight.

18:34.303 --> 18:37.093
It'll probably be better
to hear different opinions.

18:41.763 --> 18:44.433
THIS IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING, BUT I DREW
A MANGA AND UPLOADED IT.
IT'S JUST A ROUGH DRAFT. H-H-HOW IS IT?

18:42.723 --> 18:45.523
Okay, there. Uploaded.

18:46.103 --> 18:50.813
Ugh, I'm so embarrassed.
What if no one responds to it?

18:50.983 --> 18:55.533
<i>Wait, did I just publish my fantasies
to the entire world?</i>

18:55.783 --> 18:58.613
Isn't that the same
as people seeing you naked?

18:58.823 --> 19:00.363
I gotta delete that post!

19:02.873 --> 19:03.993
What?

19:04.373 --> 19:08.163
Someone already replied.
So fast! Wait, this soon?

19:08.873 --> 19:10.253
Dengeki Melon?

19:10.253 --> 19:13.753
DENGEKI MELON

19:10.753 --> 19:13.753
It's that passionate follower
who always gives me likes.

19:14.463 --> 19:15.753
Whoa, that's thick!

19:16.013 --> 19:19.383
It's such a long reply! What?
They really wrote a lot.

19:19.723 --> 19:22.643
There're no line breaks,
so what they wanted to say is laid on thick!

19:22.723 --> 19:26.023
But they're very polite about it, and
it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable at all.

19:26.223 --> 19:28.273
<i>Each of them are good
constructive criticisms.</i>

19:28.273 --> 19:30.773
It has all the things I wanted to know.

19:30.943 --> 19:34.483
How much manga do you have to read
to get to this level?

19:35.903 --> 19:39.243
Who is this Dengeki Melon person?

19:44.413 --> 19:45.413
Goodness.

19:46.333 --> 19:50.663
So this Dengeki Melon person
really wrote that long of a reply, huh?

19:51.123 --> 19:53.293
<i>My otakuness was overflowing!</i>

19:53.923 --> 19:58.173
Ureshino, do you dislike it when
someone gives their opinion like that?

19:58.513 --> 20:00.013
Of course not.

20:00.013 --> 20:03.343
"They told me to aim for the top,
and that lit a fire in me!"

20:06.013 --> 20:10.643
Dengeki Melon's writing had kindness to it,
while still having a strict point of view.

20:10.643 --> 20:14.903
They also encouraged me to aim
for expressions that'll reach other people.

20:15.363 --> 20:20.073
I came to understand that coming up
with stories isn't my strong suit.

20:20.363 --> 20:22.453
I plan to redraw it from scratch.

20:23.493 --> 20:26.333
So I feel really appreciative.

20:29.163 --> 20:31.463
You're Dengeki Melon, right?

20:32.713 --> 20:35.673
What? H-How did you know?

20:35.963 --> 20:40.463
I went to Dengeki Melon's account
and saw their past comments and posts.

20:40.463 --> 20:42.383
I got curious.

20:42.683 --> 20:45.473
That's when I saw the picture
of the Utsu x Obo nails.

20:45.933 --> 20:48.473
You had the same nails yesterday, right?

20:48.683 --> 20:51.233
Oh. My otakuness was leaking out.

20:51.233 --> 20:53.813
"You're off your guard, Teach."

20:56.363 --> 20:58.523
I don't think you have to hide it.

20:58.983 --> 21:01.783
We're friends who've revealed
everything to each other.

21:02.193 --> 21:04.493
We shouldn't be embarrassed
about anything.

21:04.953 --> 21:06.283
Ureshino.

21:06.453 --> 21:07.493
<i>O' God.</i>

21:07.663 --> 21:11.623
Okay, thank you for taking care
of the story part, Dengeki Melon.

21:13.293 --> 21:15.833
Wait, what? I'm going to write the story?

21:15.833 --> 21:20.843
I really loved that
one short story you posted.

21:21.963 --> 21:23.593
How far back did you go?

21:24.013 --> 21:26.183
That's what I really like.

21:26.183 --> 21:29.603
I like Ms. Makuwa.
And I like Dengeki Melon.

21:29.853 --> 21:32.063
I'm just a plain old otaku though.

21:32.063 --> 21:34.943
There's a side of me
who has fun creating things,

21:35.143 --> 21:37.613
but that short story
was just written on a whim.

21:38.023 --> 21:43.403
But since you've already done it once,
that means you have that passion.

21:44.073 --> 21:45.613
That creative fire.

21:46.573 --> 21:49.493
Oh, please don't say something
so emotional yet perverse.

21:49.743 --> 21:51.993
I will turn your fantasy into a manga!

21:52.123 --> 21:53.123
SHOT TO THE HEART

21:53.503 --> 21:56.873
Plus, we both interpret characters
in the same way.

21:56.873 --> 21:57.883
OH NO

22:03.673 --> 22:05.843
All right, I'll try it.

22:05.843 --> 22:08.843
Hurray! Thank you so much!

22:17.983 --> 22:21.693
<i>Let's celebrate the birth
of a teacher-student manga duo!</i>

22:22.693 --> 22:25.323
We didn't get to do much!

23:57.503 --> 24:01.173
When we complete this mission,
then that secret will finally be revealed.

24:01.173 --> 24:03.543
If that happens, then that
one incident will definitely...

24:03.883 --> 24:06.093
It's that, "You drop three ryou,
pick up a sake bottle."

24:06.093 --> 24:09.513
Next episode on Uron Mirage,
"A Dark, Unknown Shadow Approaches."

24:07.093 --> 24:12.013
NEXT EPISODE

SUMMER DEMON

24:09.513 --> 24:12.013
What will we see beyond the thin mist?
