Live A Hero Chapter 3 Episode 10: If I Knew You Better

Things pick back up with Hitomi asking the audience to lend her power before she uses her finisher, Favorite Song “LOVE ME☆Hit Me.” Kouki follows up with his own finisher Variorum “Prime Times Emperor” as he says he’ll make the monster regret preying on emotional weaknesses. Maculata tells the two that they’re pushing back against the monster and says they need to follow through, then quickly throws in her attacks.
 
Andrew notes that that side of the party is working hard before focusing back on his end and fending off a tentacle attack now that he’s seen it enough to read them. Flamier laughs and says he’s so reliable before commenting that she should go wild a bit, then throws out her finishing move. Andrew protests that it’s dangerous for Flamier to make explosions that powerful, but when he sees that it’s causing the monster to recoil he signals for Mokdai to go. Mokdai coughs a bit before saying his vision has steadied again, then kicks off the ground to leap at the tentacle that has Sui. Once there, he balls both his fists and strikes.
 
Mokdai’s attack shakes the tentacle loose as you call out to him and Sui. Sui is unfortunately released at least 10m above ground, and Mokdai uses the tentacle as a springboard to kick off of to catch Sui midair. He manages to get her, but Mokdai flubs the landing and ends up falling on top of Sui. Mokdai sighs about it happening again, then quickly gets up when Sui tells him he’s heavy. You either be concerned and ask if the two of them are okay, try to say Mokdai looked cool but sound doubtful, or note that Sui was stuck under Mokdai’s butt. B gets an extra line where Mokdai is shocked you made that sound like a question but admits he did mess up there.
 
Crowne asks if the two of them are hurt, even if the ground here is soft. Mokdai says he’s okay, and Sui mumbles that she’s okay before looking depressed. Mokdai looks seriously at her, then starts talking about how he knows nothing about her. He’s frustrated that he never knew about her emotional baggage, but it’s because of that he’d like to talk to her once this is all over and get to know her more. Sui is surprised by this but nods, so Mokdai thanks her and asks you to look after her while he heads back to the fight. You say you will and can warn Mokdai to be careful. B gets an extra line where Mokdai says he’ll do his best all the way to the end and will be counting on you.
 
Over on the front line, Flamier tells Andrew the two of them have to hold out until Mokdai gets back, but she gets knocked down mid sentence. Andrew calls after her in alarm, then says it’s taking all he has to hold the monster at bay. Crowne tells Mokdai he needs to hurry up, giving him a little push as Mokdai notes how mad the monster is. Sui stops Mokdai for a moment, so Mokdai asks her what’s wrong. Sui then thanks Mokdai for saving her, which Mokdai shrugs off since she’s his friend. He gives her a quick smile, then turns back to run towards the monster.
 
Mokdai apologizes for keeping the front line waiting, then reports that Sui is okay. Andrew is glad to hear that and says the big one is the only one left. Maculata runs up, glad that Sui is okay and saying she’ll help out here since the tentacles have been cleaned up. Hitomi asks Flamier if she’s okay and pulls her up. Flamier thanks her, apologizing for causing concern and saying she can still fight. Kouki notes the boss is the leader of the ones here, and he swears to take it down after all the damage it’s caused. Mokdai tells everyone to get psyched, and everyone charges in to attack.
 
Back to your end, Sui is watching the fight with a blank look on her face. You ask Sui if she’s calmed down and ask if something happened while she was caught. Sui nods after a moment, then admits she felt and knew earlier that her mother disappeared from inside that monster. You think about the memory you saw and how it quickly faded away too, so you are quiet for a bit and/or wonder if it’s about that. Sui notes you felt it too, and she says she thinks her mom isn’t inside anymore. She saw and felt that light, and when it melted away she knew she was gone. She admits that the monster was never her mother to begin with, and tears fall from her eyes as she laments finally seeing her again.
 
You call out to Sui in concern or stay quiet, and Crowne speaks up and picks up from where she left off earlier. She hugs Sui gently, saying none of them understand her like her mother at the moment. But that said, they can start learning about her and understanding her from here on after. None of them might be able to outdo her mother, but they’re here wanting to know Sui and support her. It’s not just her as Crowne brings up what Mokdai said. Sui nods at this, and Crowne points out that everyone out there is fighting to save her. There aren’t THAT many people out there in the galaxy who cares about her that much, and Crowne asks if Sui is going to cry about being all alone again.
 
You tell Sui that you can learn more about her after this and/or say you want to know her better. But around this point, the loudly roaring giant monster starts sprouting a bunch of tentacles again. Crowne is taken aback by this and asks if it got pissed, and the Monster starts calling for Sui again as it looks your way. Sui reacts by drawing closer to Crowne, which provokes the monster into shrieking in rage.
 
Kouki is surprised as he notes that all the tentacles are converging towards Sui, and Maculata calls out her name in alarm. With that many incoming you yell that you guys can’t avoid them all. Flamier and Mokdai jump in to block for you guys and tell you three to run, but the two are quickly grabbed up. Andrew attacks in an attempt to free them, as does Hitomi as she uses her mic stand as a club.
 
Andrew and Hitomi’s attacks do cause the monster to reel a bit, surprising you with their strength. However, it isn’t quite enough as the monster manages to disarm Hitomi before grabbing her too, leading to her, Mokdai, and Flamier to get eaten. Kouki and Maculata are horrified while Andrew attacks even harder to get them back. The monster sprouts more tentacles and aims them at you and Sui, and you grit your teeth at this situation.
 
Crowne tells you to look after Sui as she pushes her away, then tells her to not waste the chance to get away as she throws herself forward. Sui yells after Crowne before she gets eaten next. Maculata yells after everyone who was taken, and Kouki notes that the monster is readying another attack before demanding it returns everyone. Andrew suggests grouping around Sui and fending off the attacks since they’re going after her. Kouki says it’s time to rescue everyone and asks you to take command. The episode battle then begins as Maculata says she’ll make the monster regret tricking and attacking Sui and for swallowing everyone else.
