Breakup
For those who remember the place called "Gates of Uroborus",Yata and Pai are seen there checking on the status of Ovan.Yata says that Ovan's left arm is considered a black box.Pai wonders if its possible to obtain it.Yata tells her,if there is anything inside of it,then its not a box that cant be opened.Back at town,at the bridge,Haseo is there with Phyllo. He asks him what he wants to do,Haseo doesnt know,he cant get over the fact Ovan is really gone.Phyllo says he is chidlish,that today is the same as yesterday,just as tomorrow will always be the same as today.Haseo doesnt think of it like that,he thinks since its just a game,you could get tired of playing it,and its not strange for someone to quit during the situation thats going on.Phyllo brings up Shino waiting for Ovan,Haseo nods due to the fact she still trusts in Ovan.He asks Haseo if he trusts Ovan,Haseo cant really trust him if he doesnt really know him that much.He also wonders if he has a purpose here at all,now that Ovan isnt around anymore.Phyllo suggests to continue to play for the people that are still here.

Back at the guild home,Tabby and Sakisaka are there.Saki is walking around,getting impatient.Tabby is wondering whats wrong with him,its really about Ovan still.He asks what she thinksof the Twilight Brigade and how pointless it is now.Tabby doesnt understand what he is asking of her,he tells her that the whole point of this guild was to kind the Key of the Twilight,and asks her if Shino told her that from the start.She doesnt recall Shino saying that,and instead of inviting people so soon,its best to play together as a guild.Saki is thinking of quitting the guild,Tabby wants to know why.He says that Shino has Haseo,Ovan isnt coming back,and without the Key of the Twilight,its meaningless for this guild.Tabby still believes it still exists even for a game,Saki informs her that there is always some way to clear a game,but not for the Key of the Twilight,you also cant continue to force yourself into looking for it.Tabby denies she isnt doing that,but Saki is starting to notice that type of attitude that she is forcing herself.

Returning to the bridge,Haseo has made up his mind and will leave.Phyllo says to come back anytime,he isnt going anywhere,but before Haseo leaves,B-Set shows up next to him.She asks him if he is here for consulating.He answers her by saying,he is just here to kill some time.Phyllo is surprised by that answer,B-Set is wondering whats going on with the Twilight Brigade.Not much has changed,she comments that Ovan hasnt come back yet.B-set brings up that Shino can be surprisingly fragile when she gets hit by her weak spot and suggests Haseo be her support.Haseo notices she is saying that too.At the waterfalls,Shino is standing there on the edge looking outward,still waiting for Ovan.Hearing footsteps she quickly turns around,but its only Haseo once again.He brings up B-Set being worried about her,she understands that.Haseo mentions that Shino isnt looking too good,and suggests to call it a day.She believes that Ovan wont come back if she isnt here,and wont run away.He asks what she meant by running away,and from what.She isnt sure about it.Haseo again says she looks tired,and asks if she has been sleeping well.In which she hasnt,Haseo then suggests if she needs someone to talk to,he is here for her.Before Haseo can say anything,Shino leans in close to him for a while,and then steps away from him.Shino thinks that she must keep the Twilight Brigade running,however,with Sakisaka's behavior,its really putting her down.Haseo says she shouldnt worry about him,and that he will do something about it.Shino looks at him surprised,and then smiles with a Thank You.

Back to Phyllo and B-Set,she brings up that Ovan looked like a very capable person.Phyllo agrees that he is the kind of guy would give you such an impression of that.Lately,B-Set has been noticing her feelings.She continued to play because of Ovan being here.Phyllo realizes this,she asks if Ovan is not coming back at.He answers her by asking why she is asking him.She thinks he knows,then she mentions that Gord quit,and maybe she should too.Phyllo wont stop her,B-Set thinks that cold of him.He says there is nothing he could do if she's made up her mind already.She realizes that,but for one more time,she would like to see Ovan.At the guild home,Haseo steps in with Shino,greeting Tabby and Sakisaka.Shino apologizes for being late,Saki wants to know what they want to say.Haseo suggests they should restart the search for the Key of the Twilight.Saki doesnt like the idea,and asks if Haseo has been listening,due to the fact it doesnt exist.Haseo says while quoting Ovan,Its not about whether it exists or not.Saki doesnt consider himself the kind of moron who will look for something that doesnt exist.Tabby is ok with being a moron then,she asks what Shino thinks.She says you cant look for something that doesnt exist.Haseo is a bit disappointed by her response.Saki points out that its 3 to 1,and doesnt want to waste his time like before.Where there was no concrete information,relying on rumors that have no basis,searching from field to field for hours,and waited for days in the Lost Grounds.Saki wonders if they were meaningless.Tabby agrees,and Saki asks the others,if they want to look for it,then give him some solid evidence.Tabby suggests to look for Ovan instead,since he is still logged in and thinks he is somewhere.Saki brings up the fact that he is here,but cant contact him and isnt coming back,which is pointless to look for him.

Outside of the guild,Tabby and Saki is sitting next to a fountain,Saki wants to know how they looking for Ovan.She isnt really sure,but realizes they cant keep waiting like this.Saki says for her to give up,and dont expect anything.Tabby asks if he is worried,he says that Ovan is not a kid,if he wanted to come back,he would be here by now.They cant contact him,because he doesnt want to come back,and worrying about him is pointless.Tabby stands up,with an upset look on her face and calls him stupid,then she walks away steamed.At the guild home,Shino asks Haseo why he did what he said earlier.Haseo thought if they can be a team again,there had to be a certain goal,he then asks if he messed up.Shino doesnt answer his question,Haseo decides to leave for a while.Ovan is seen trapped in that confined area,where red lasers are seen around him,he repeats the words "Stop",in a faint voice due to being in that condition.The lock around his arm is starting to move,Ovan wants them to stop.Returning to the guild home,Shino sees that B-Set is standing there.She shows her invite guild card,and says she didnt want to come back here again.Shino welcomes her back,B-Set says she wants to quit,and decided to come by and say good bye.She also wants to ask her something,she wants to know what Shino thinks of Haseo.B-Set brings up he is a good kid,and that Shino should sincerely return his feelings,while forgetting about Ovan.Shino says that she cant,due to Ovan being special to her.B-Set realizes she cant win against her.Shino apologizes,but B-Set says its alright and that it feels great to get that out of her system.she then decides to leave.

Meanwhile,Tabby is fighting some monsters and continues to keep running deeper into the dungeon,which is the same dungeon that she was in when Shino was helping her.Reaching the point of where the treasure chest is at the end,she falls to the ground,landing on her knees,out of breath from all that running.She brings up how she wont get lost anymore,and says Shino's name,asking what she should do.At the lake,Haseo is sitting down in area where the pillars are gathered,he too is thinking the same thing,"What should I do?"At the chruch,Shino is there with Phyllo,and says that everyone is gone.Phyllo says its not that depressing,Shino agrees.She feels different from everyone else,and is sure she will always be here until this world meets it doom,no matter what condition its in.Phyllo wonders if its for Ovan,he says that he shouldnt have introduced him to her.Shino is thankful that Phyllo did,but she also wants a little bit of time,for her to organize her thoughts.Phyllo understands.Returning back to the guild home,Haseo and Tabby are there,while Saki is walking in,he asks where Shino is.Haseo speaks up saying that Phyllo contacted him,Shino isnt logging in for a while.Saki pauses for a moment,as an incoming message is sent to him,he realizes that his mail got bounced back and is upset.Tabby wonders what he is talking about.Saki says that Ovan teamed up with TaN and has the Key of the Twilight.Haseo is clueless on what he just said,Saki tells him to give it a careful thought,and it would be clear to them,and believes that is why Shino is like that.Haseo disagrees,and brings up how Saki said before the Key of the Twilight doesnt exist.Saki brings up as to why Ovan isnt coming back,even while he is logged in.Haseo believes there is some reason behind it.He wants to know what that reason is,that Haseo spoke of,since Shino doesnt even know.Haseo and Tabby dont give him a straight answer,instead,Saki throws down his guild invitation card,and says he cant put up with it anymore.He then declares he quits,and walks off.Tabby walks over to the card that he threw down and picks it up,Haseo asks if she will go after him.Tabby isnt sure.

Returning to where Ovan is,the lock on his arm is starting to glow.The lock is starting to shake even more than before,knows its about to break loose,once more yells for them to stop.His glasses make a slight crack,suddently,the lock is ripped off.The case on his arm shoots out rays of light,Ovan screams in pain,and the case around his arm is blown away.Ovan's screams tend to echo,to the point,Haseo is looking up at the ceiling in the guild home.Tabby asks him if Shino is contacting him.Haseo says that wasnt it,but that he thought he heard someone.Tabby wonders if it was his parents,Haseo says its not,he lives by himself.She then asks if Haseo knows how to contact Shino.He doesnt,since he hasnt asked her,and believes that she would tell him if he asked her.Haseo also thinks he should have asked her if he knew this was going to happen.Tabby believes they are getting along nicely,Haseo doesnt think so.She brings up how they are always together,but Haseo again disagrees.And then she brings up as to how Haseo looks at Shino.He wonders why she is saying that,and that she's always with Sakisaka.Taby has an upset expression,and says she not with him because she wants to.Haseo doesnt follow what she just said,she says that Haseo doesnt understand how she feels.He answers her by saying,that he doesnt want to know either.Unhappy by that response,she says that Haseo is happy as long as she is with Sakisaka,and then walks away.Haseo says quietly,that he never said that.Suddenly,a message is sent to him.

Outside of the guild home,and at the fountain,Saki is looking up at the sky,he then notices Tabby standing a few feet away.Sitting next to him,Saki asks whats wrong with her.Tabby says she is quitting the Twilight Brigade as well.Saki is shocked,and asks her if she is sure about this.She says its more fun being wit her Master.He understands and apologizes,Tabby says thats not like him at all.She then suggests for them to practice the combo attacks like they did before.Even though he isnt in the mood for that,but says he has no choice.Haseo warps to the chruch,and steps inside,there kneeling infront of the alter is Shino.She has read his e-mail and apologizes,for leaving him alone during a time like this.He says its fine,and doesnt mind.Shino has made up her mind,standing up she turns to look at Haseo,with her outfit having dark colors this time.Haseo is surprised,She states she will not run away like Aura did.Haseo wants to know why she changed her colors.Her answer to him is,its an indication of the change in her heart.As of today,the Twilight Brigade is disbanded.Haseo asks her if she is ok with that.She says that even with no guild,and if she is alone,she can always wait for Ovan's return.Haseo stays silent after that,until he speaks up saying that she isnt alone,and that he will wait with her.Shino thanks him,and also quotes him,its not something to be thankful for.He says its fine as long as she understands.
