://Roots>>Episode 22

Bonds
After Tabby and her group ran away from a high leveled monster and failed to assist a group of players,they regroup infront of the chaos gate in disappointment.Touta greets them and askhow they are doing.Seisaku thinks they need to rethink about fundamentals amongst other things.Touta says he will meet them at their @home later.Elsewhere in a dungeon,Kuhn has encountered a weird monster,and is starting to feel something going on with him,that something has awakened.Pai tells Yata about it,and they are watching Kuhn.Yata claims Kuhn is the second one to awaken,the special PCs.

Back to Tabby,her group are trying to figure which are better poses to show off together.Seisaku suggests that since Tabby is in the middle,she should make a pose that is symmetrical.She doesnt know what that is,meaning her left and right have to be in proportion.Touta enters the guild seeing they are practicing,Tabby says it feels good during practice,but everything falls apart in the field.Touta notices their levels and asks why they are like that.Seisaku tells him that Hideo just started,and he had to change his character.Tabby says its given that they are low level,Touta does not accept that.He wants them to move their asses and do some leveling,and he will talk after they are done.He says with characters like that,how do they expect to save people? They quickly run out of there.

In a field,Kuhn is sitting down,wondering what that was that happened to him earlier.Foot steps are heard,its Pai who has approached him from behind.She asks if she may have a moment with him.Pai believes he is troubled with his own PC,Kuhn asks who she is.She says,a friend.She tells him that his character is a dangerous PC body,that is involved in a huge incident,she is only here to warn him that.Kuhn asks about the warning,she says its more of an invitation and asks if he would like to join her guild.Pai adds on,if he doesnt want to get other involved,he should leave his current guild.Kuhn asks if its that serious.She says no one knows when it will happen again,she gives him her member address and to contact her when he has made up his mind.

Back in town,Phyllo is in his usual spot,while Haseo drops in and sits down close by.Phyllo asks whats the use of a reservoir in a game,Haseo doesnt follow what he is talking about.He is talking about,Nora the stray dog,he asks if Haseo wants to tell him something.Haseo doesnt say anything,Phyllo asks if this is enough.Tri-Edge has disappeared,and all he can do is let the hospital handle it.Haseo knows that,but still needs to find Tri-Edge.Phyllo believes there isnt anything he can talk to Tri-Edge about.He asks if he lost to the player that ran away from Tri-Edge.Haseo says its a matter of perspective,he couldnt care less about the fight with her,Tri-Edge is his only opponent.Phyllo comments its still a disgrace no matter what.Haseo glares at him,as long as he can defeat Tri-Edge,nothing else matters.Phyllo understands,he adds on that suppose Haseo can defeat Tri-Edge with the strength he has now,and asks if Tri-Edge will listen to him.Haseo answers him by saying,if he doesnt,he will hunt him down until he does.Phyllo asks another question,what if his answer isnt what Haseo is looking for,Haseo will be in danger right now.Haseo asks what he meant by "danger"? Phyllo says,if Haseo can see only one thing in his mind,he wont be able to adapt when other things happen,that is what he meant by danger.Haseo doesnt believe there are other things.Phyllo was just telling him,he shouldnt think like that.Haseo says he's had enough and takes his leave.

Returning to Tabby,they are out in a field.Tabby points to Seisaku's goggles.Hideo says he got the goggles because the guild master of a guild from the Twilight Brigade was wearing the same thing.Sei didnt want him to say that.Tabby corrects them,that Ovan never wore goggles,he wore sunglasses,red ones.Sei asks if he should take them off.Tabby says its nothing to worry about.Kuhn is seen standing infront of a guild home,he walks inside.Its Silabus and Gasperd,who says his name.He realizes they are both here,Gasperd asks about going somewhere today.Kuhn is fine with that,anywhere they want to go.Gasperd is happy,as long as Kuhn is them,anwhere is fine.Silabus asks Kuhn if he is feeling tired,Kuhn says he isnt.Gasperd suggests they do something.Kuhn agrees,he suggests they do some leveling up,they both agree.Tabby's group is also leveling,they try attacking at the same time,but Sei is instantely knocked out.Hideo tries to protect Tabby,but he fails and is KOed as well.Tabby is the only one left,she refuses to give up.She eventually defeats the monster,right when Kuhn's group approach their area.Tabby believes things will be fine as long as he doesnt give up.Gasper and Silabus revive the other two,Hideo and Sei thank them.Kuhn asks Tabby what they are doing,she says they are leveling up,and asks what they are doing.Kuhn tells her the same thing,he also asks if this place is kinda difficult.Tabby thinks it is,Kuhn suggests if they dont go to a proper field,she will get isolated.He then asks if they are newbies,Tabby says its something like that,they are her guild members.Kuhn is surprised she formed a guild,she tells him the name of the guild,which is Meatball Brigade,a guild that helps to heal others.He comments that it sounds like an incredible guild,in a game with so many PKers.Tabby believes thats why its necessary.

Yata and Pai are in the monitoring room,she mentions Kuhn from earlier,and how it will take a bit of time,she also believes he will come.Yata comments there is no need to be hasty.Tabby and Seisaku are at the waterfalls area,where she tells him,that this is the place the Twilight Brigade would have meetings here very often.She suggests they do their best,he asks her if she ever feels anxious.She says she does,Sei believes things will work out.Tabby comments he is saying the same thing as her big sister.He asks about Tabby's sister.She doesnt get along with her very well,but also doesnt get along with any of her family members.Sei says familiy,and how its something you can find everywhere though.Tabby asks if Sei gets along with his family.Sei says his family is different in its own way,Tabby comments it great to have a happy family,and is a little envious.She questions what she is talking about.Hideo is in awe over this place,he comments this place is amazing,and suddenly trips.Tabby asks if he is ok.Sei suggests about creating a family,with the Meatball Brigade.Tabby doesnt follow.Sei adds on,no matter how anxious,family members wont run away from each other,right?Tabby still isnt sure,Sei says he atleast wont run away,she believes him on that and suggests they go back.Sei says her name,she stops to look at him,he asks if he may see her in reality once.He believes he can drive away her loneliness,Tabby smiles.

Inside a dungeon,Kuhn is with Pai,she says that he contacted her and wants to know if it means,he wants to join her guild.Kuhn says no,Pai asks if he still hasnt understood the situation yet.He admits that his PC is a little strange,but...with how it will get other players involved,is beyond his imagination.Pai says that what he saying,is he wont believe her with just words alone.Kuhn meant something like that,Pai is ok with that and says for him to follow her.Back at Tabby's guild home,Tabby is holding a small puchiguso which looks like her.She claims she is the mother,and its feels kinda weird.Hideo comments because she is the owner of this guild,Tabby wonders who will be the father.Hideo knows of one,he looks over at Seisaku,he only says "Ahem!" Tabby is wondering if he meant,Seisaku.Actually,Hideo says Touta,which surprises Sei. Pai and Kuhn are walking through a dungeon,they see a monster standing there,but that same weird monster that Kuhn saw from earlier,is standing behind it.Suddenly,the monster is destroyed,Pai tells him its the same entity that attacked him earlier.He asks what it is,or if its a monster.Pai says there are a few of them in The World,its a bug.Kuhn asks about it,she says its a very dangerous one.He starts to remember what happened earlier,about that awakening he felt,he asks her if that was a bug too.Pai says it isnt,what resides inside his PC body is a special power.Kuhn asks about this "special power".She says it is also a very dangerous power,and then says for him to stay away from her.Pai suddenly releases a ray of light,that blinds the area for a while,the monster is gone.She looks back at him,saying she knows how to control that power,but he doesnt.She informs him about imagining what a power you cant control will lead to.

Back at Tabby's guild,Tabby and Seisaku are both holding Hideo,they both agree that what they are doing,is lame.Touta says alright,and says to look for Haseo.Tabby asks why him,Touta tells her to revive those who were killed by Haseo and to heal Haseo when he is injured,continue doing it even if he doesnt like it.Hideo and Tabby are up for it,but Sei isnt.Kuhn returns to his guild home,Silabus asks if he took care of his affairs.Kuhn says he has,Gasperd asks if they will go somewhere,he doesnt say anything.Silabus asks if something happened.Kuhn says there isnt,Silabus says if there if anything they can do...Kuhn says that isnt it.He is thinking of quitting the guild,Silabus asks why.Kuhn apologizes for making a selfish decision like this.Gasperd doesnt want that,Silabus doesnt understand.He tells them he got involved in something weird...Silabus asks what he meant by that.Kuhn isnt sure how to say it,he says he might have strayed away from the system,and doesnt want to get them involved.Silabus asks him,if he is saying that they dont mean anything to him. Kuhn realizes its selfish to create a guild and then leave it,he asks if they understand.Gasperd doesnt,he doesnt want to be in a guild without Kuhn,he wants to leave with him,and then he hugs him while crying.Kuhn says its dangerous to be with him,and wants them to play normally.Silabus still doesnt understand,but he understands what he is trying to say.Kuhn apologizes to them,Silabus gets a message,Kuhn asks if he can leave the guild to him.Silabus says it will be alright,Gasper is here too.Kuhn apologizes to Gasperd,and to not cry.Gasperd says for him to come back anytime he wants.Kuhn agrees to that.

Elsewhere,Haseo has just killed two players,but they are suddenly revived.Hideo comes in with saying,they are the healing squad that will...Sei adding on,to healing those....Tabby adds,who were hurt...alogether,..in battle! And yell out their guild name.Haseo calls them bastards and asks what they are doing.Tabby heals him,Haseo is annoyed by that,she says its something she wants to do.Haseo wonders what she meant by that,she says its not nice to ask questions by hurting people.He tells her its none of her business.She asks if he doesnt need dead people,and if he doesnt mind if they revived them.Before Haseo can say anything,the other two just run off,Tabby says bye to them,while Haseo says she is stupid.In town,two players are standing around,one asks about a certain e-mail,one about giving TaN's hidden items away for free.The other asks if he got one,which he says he did,its also dangerous but its good for relieving stress.The other asks about account suspension,but wonders if they are gonna use the costume of their secret service.Before they say anything,the other one tells him to be quiet,due to someone appearing from the chaos gate,its just Haseo.He only stands for a second and then leaves,returning to walking across a field.
