Summer Pool Twilight Episode 6 Part 1 (Abridged)

There are three types of beings that faith says can't be held within the confines of a System framework. The first is the All-Knowing All-Powerful, those who know everything in the world and are able to do anything in the world. How can that be? Well logically speaking, it's because they beings who can Only Exist Outside the World. It's the same as how computers can never fully understand their own configurations using only their own calculation resources. Or how you can never see the entirety of that being from inside a closed room. It's the logic that to break the walls of the world (re: understand the world's limits), you Have to Be Outside it.
The second type of being would be the Infinite World Snake, those who are unaffected by the limits of the world's frame. The World Serpent of Yggdrasil Jormungandr would be one of them. He can grow big enough to swallow the world, meaning faith believes him to be bigger than the world. He is a Counter for God set by the theatrical criminal Loki, one of the three siblings who will bring eternal twilight to the world.

The third type of being is Zero, the unproven alibi. They are the ones people believe to be Nowhere in the World. What isn't in the world yet must exist outside the world. Logic! If you can't find them anywhere, you can't prove they don't exist. Because alibi comes from an old word that means "elsewhere."
Each of these three (All, Infinite, Zero) all have their own ways of reaching the throne of God. A God is something that is the beginning and the end, the thing that exists at the top of the world's hierarchy. And when these three compete they will produce mutual affinities. All beats Infinity because Infinity cannot reach All no matter how many repetitions are made. Even if you put together all the possible potentials you can think of, if you can't include the ones you can't think of then you will never think of All of them.

Present
Jormungandr has turned back into a dragon and is getting bigger by the second! The World Wrecking Poison Midgardsomr's volume is expanding through the power of mitosis, able to bury Tokyo and go as high as the walls!
Fuxi and Perun: !!!
MC: Jormungandr, stop! ...he can't hear me! Is he going insane and rampaging...?
Smoky God: Strange. Why has the World Wrecking Poison, the World's Counter activated?
Smoky God (narrating?): I am someone who once left the cycle of the world, so I alone can leave Tokyo whenever in theory. And my old friend Asura...actually, MC left the world once through other means.
Smoky God: That's why I thought the two of us could leave Tokyo whenever. Wait, did I hit a Taboo? Oh I get it now.
There is one difference between the two above, two people who left the world at the same time.
Smoky God: I bet the Taboo is a System to prevent trying to steal the trophy and leaving the game. I don't know if the other World Representatives have tried it already, but I see the management has a countermeasure for someone trying that loophole. We try and whoops the world ends. And it's going to if this keeps going!
Mobs: Hey look at that. New attraction?
Smoky God: ...

Christine: No, Smoky God. On our pride we vow to not repeat the same endings. We've already done that plot beat before. We Entertainers have our pride to never bore our audience. Tonight's program is a loud repeated act of a certain game on the closed game board of Tokyo. It's a common fictional show on this prepared story scenario, so we should put an end to it. Improv time with all hands on deck! We toss out the script, and no prewritten ending exists. The stage is like a broken carousel and we will close the curtains on it, even if there is Someone Not Even an Actor outside the stage. They might just be a guide. Now please enjoy the fleeting summer night's dreams and the fantasies between naps.

Gorozaemon: LET'S PUNCH HIM OUT!
Reaction shot of the party: Shock
MC: Welp / That's just how you roll isn't it / Have you thought about what's after that!?
Gorozaemon: Mweheh! I never said it'd work out! Isn't it just like smacking a machine to make it work again like I hear in Tokyo?
MC: NO??? / WHO TOLD YOU THAT!?
---
(BC) Gorozaemon: The gang leader of Umamichi said he did that with TVs... hey wait, didn't Li Chou get pissy about him breaking the things?
---
Yamasachi: Y-y'all make it sound so easy
Heracles: Yes, it seems difficult to even get close to Jormungandr. And we must do something about the guests' safety, though I am on the radio about that... Fortunately most of them are at the main stage show event. Perhaps if we get security to bring them all in one location...
Smoky God: Hmm. If you can keep the people safe, then I will gladly lend my help. Allow me to clean up my mistake with all the power I can muster.
Yamasachi: That's nice, but what about going outside?
Gorozaemon: Heh, that's gonna be hard.
Touji: MC, there you are! It's an emergency!
MC: Touji!? / What? / Hey where's Hougen?
(C) Touji: Master is calling security for reinforcements... oh no wait, I came for something else. MC, help me.

Touji: Someone has sealed off Yurakucho with invisible walls! I've called everyone else in the gang and we'll be regrouping soon--
Yamasachi: What!? Is this what you meant by hard, Gorozaemon!?
Gorozaemon: Haha, that was half my gut feeling. But yeah we gotta do something about Jormungandr.
Touji: ...you know something. Tell us?
The gang is here!
Shirou: Please tell us too! We want to help solve this incident!
Ryouta: Yeah, lemme know if I can help somehow!
Kengo: Yeah whatever lets me run wilf.
Gorozaemon: Heh, good underlings you...oh right, good friends you got there!
MC: They're the pride of the guild / They're always with me / (smile)

Later
Shirou: I see. Then what we need to do is...
Smoky God: Two things, yes. First, defeat Midgardsomr and wake up Jormungandr.
Yamasachi: So we hit him like Gorozaemon was talkin' about?
Heracles: Is that truly going to work?
Smoky God: Yes, if we use MC's artifact.
MC: I see / wait what
Smoky God: The power of Severance can do anything. You On Your Own need to get to that wall and use your sword. That's it.
Gorozaemon: ...
MC: Okay! / Why do you look sad, Smoky God? / ...something wrong, Gorozaemon?

Smoky God: ...my friend, MC. You--
Gorozaemon: Hey, why so serious you guys?
Smoky God: ...Gorozaemon?
Gorozaemon: Just leave it to me. No need for gloom! And MC? We'll get you to that wall...but that's where our second matter comes in.
Zo: The fish guys? They're weak as hell but there's a ton of them.
Heracles: Yes, and every one we defeat has another pop up. If any of them attack the customers...
Touji: Yes, it'll cause a panic. Plus we can't leave right now...
Yamasachi: Y-yeah, that's bad...
Shirou: ...I see. Which means we need to hold back the crowds of monsters and send MC when there's a break in the line.
Smoky God: ...right. MC, you have a great advisor with you now. You aren't alone.
MC: He's an awesome advisor! / He's a great class prez! / The love of my life!
(A) Shirou: Yes, I'll live up to your confidence in me!
(B) Shirou: T-that doesn't matter right now! ...geez, stop joking at times like this.
(C) Shirou: W-what!? A-ahem. Let's focus on the situation for now... but thank you.

Gorozaemon: Aww, youth! So Boss, any suggestions on how we move out? You're the most familiar with this place since it's a recreation of Shangri La, right?
Smoky God: ...very well. Look at the map everyone. First we should lure the main body elsewhere, somewhere with a lot of space preferably.
Heracles: How about the battle stage? It's big, and no one should be there now.
Zo: Sure, but how are we supposed to get Jumbo there?
Smoky God: Our only option is to provoke him with attacks and lead him over. I think he's after me anyway.
MC: Well you are the direct cause... / You're playing decoy?

Smoky God: Heh, didn't I say I'd be cleaning up my own mess? And if there are people who need salvation, it's my job to save them.
Gorozaemon: Eh, it's fine. Better to commit your usual daringness to memory.
Shirou: Let us help with that too. The Evils should be able to search for a path.
Kengo: Yeah! I don't know what's going on, but we just need to hit the big guy, right?
Ryouta: I-I'll do my best too! Let's get something good to eat together later on!
Shirou: ...we're good. Looking forward to working with you, Smoky God.
Smoky God: Let's dance then. Better hurry.
Shirou: I'm sure you can fix this situation MC, so let's do this like usual!

Gorozaemon: Cool, you guys go do that! We got something else to take care of.
Zo: The fish monsters that keep popping up? Aren't we kinda shorthanded for that?
Heracles: Excuse me for interrupting, but I got a message on the staff radio! Monsters have appeared near the event stage! Security is doing their best to lead and guard the customers, but it's only a matter of time before it turns to chaos!
Zo: Where are they coming from!?
Gorozaemon: Yurakucho is inside that wall, so I guess you can compare it to being in its womb? They can pop up wherever they want then. Hehe, looks bad doesn't it?
MC: ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS!?

Gorozaemon: Aww, what do you take me for? I know how to behave. Sometimes. Anyways, we got options. What to do...?
Heracles: You have an idea!? Please tell us?
Zo: What about that thing that came out of the ocean? That was pretty bad.
Yamasachi: Yeah! We can keep up with them usin' that!
Gorozaemon: Hmmmm... let's put that aside for now.
MC: (stares) ...are you thinking about something else?
Gorozaemon: You see right through me! Well stop it, we ayakashis hate that. But anyways I gotta ask you something... Are you enjoying Tokyo? Do you like this closed off world?
After school app battles taking place after school (re: the twilight of the world)! Endless repeating days! Fights that write off battle damage like fiction!
Gorozaemon: Back home I've always spent every day vrooming down on the streets. The most important thing was to enjoy myself, and it felt like I was shown a dream. But then I moved on one day, and now I do fictional work to entertain people.
MC: ...what are you asking me?
Gorozaemon: ...tell me. This is important to me. Do you like Tokyo? Is it fun?
MC: I like it, and sometimes there's parts I hate. / I don't know.

Gorozaemon: ...I see.
Yamasachi: Hurry up, y'all! We gotta stop him! I dunno what this business is 'bout him bein' born to bring endless twilight to the world, but it's night time! Time to slap him awake and ask if he really wants to be a wall! And if he says no, well Tokyo is where you can be anything ya want!
Yamasachi has left the Dragon Palace, and now he's trying to be an environmental ranger. Lots of people have left their home worlds to try to become something else here in Tokyo.
Zo: You can be whatever you want, huh? I like it! You can be a coward or a hero, but it's more important to know what you want to do than what you can do.
Heracles: ...yes. Even I have something I want to be. I'll become a staff member who can entertain any guest! And Jormungandr is a guest!
MC: You guys!
Gorozaemon: What you want to be is something you choose, eh? I see. Mwehehehe, this is great! It was worth it coming to Tokyo! Right, it's not twilight anymore. It's night time at the pool, where what shines gets things exciting! Time for me to show my spirit as a youkai who isn't anyone!
Yamasachi: Yeah! We'll be a hundred people stronger if we add in the Night Parade from before!
Gorozaemon: I don't recommend that but okay?
Party: (stares in shock)
MC: ...WAIT WHAT?

Gorozaemon: Aw yessss. But anyways, remember what Old Man Tengu said?
Flashback
Hougen: Night Parade equals chaos!
Present
MC: ...oh, right.
Yamasachi: Oh yeah, huh...
Heracles: Yes...a wild battle between youkai and monsters happening in front of people would...
???: Wouldn't it be fine? Make it grand and audacious!
The Entertainers arrive!
Goemon: Hahaha! Hide a tree in a forest, as they say!
MC: Where'd you guys come from!?
Christine: Excuse us for eavesdropping, we know how improper that is. But you speak of such interesting things that we will help you.
Leanan Sidhe: Yeah, I'll direct things as producer! I hear a sad lyric beyond the enclosed walls, but your lyrics of becoming whoever you want can help!
Boogeyman: Hehe, we can get the monsters and ayakashi into our production plans right away.
Gorozaemon: ...wow. Nice, haha! You guys really are the best! Night Parade, full force then!
MC: Well they're having fun I see.

Later
Mermaid: hey what's that
Merman: Lemme get my camera and... holy shit WHAT!?
Sahagins: HISSSS
Tribal: WHAT ARE THEY
Wrestler: We gotta run! Oh no, more are coming that way!
Nyarlathotep: BOO! Hey everybody! Dreams end! A single night's game! Climax! Last act!
Leanan Sidhe: Lights! Music!
Boogeyman: Hehehehe
Goemon: Here comes the ayakashi!
Mermaid A: Someone turned off the lights!
Mermaid B: I'm scared!
Tribal: No really, WHAT
Wrestler: Look! The stage!
Gorozaemon: Ugh, what kind of cosmic trick put me center stage to help people? Still...this ain't bad. Time for the most exciting night of your life! Come one, come all to a party where you can rub elbows with youkai of yore! Come, Chimimouryou!
