Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show (ネクロノミ子のコズミックホラーショウ)

Has Miko Kurono gone mad?!

What?

She's going to bet the lives of all humanity?

What gives her the right?!

That's why I was opposed to letting that nobody represent humanity from the start!

Somebody go to Toyosu and stop her!

But how?

Who are you?

Security!

What do you grown-ups think you're doing?

A fifteen-year-old girl is trying her hardest to live!

And all you're talking about is the risk to yourselves!

You should be ashamed!

Go for it, Miko!

This world's a piece of shit anyway.

So do whatever you want!

If you lose your nerve now, I'm evicting you!

As humanity's terror and sorrow accumulate,

the revival gauge climbs to ever-greater heights!

Your proposal has people all over the world in a panic.

I made no exaggeration when I said you had what it took to be a god.

Now, as for your words just before...

I can take that as a contract, right?

Yeah. If I win, you'll restore every person who's been hurt by this game.

And if I win, all of humanity is...

Oh, I don't need to say, do I?

My, what have I forced a cute, little powerless girl like you into?

Is it okay for me to feel...

such joy?

Oh, the game's just been decided.

I just had a meeting with Azathoth...

We'll use this.

Don't worry. All you have to do is win one game, and you get everything back.

What the hell did you do?

This is the last game,

so let's make it unforgettable!

Wh-What the hell is that?

Breaking News: Massive Kaiju Appears in Toyosu

A... kaiju?!

This is looking real bad.

It's over... It's the end of the world!

This is...

the last stage!

DOOM HAS BEEN REWRITTEN

The Call of Necronomico

Okay, Necronomico-san, this is the final game!

"The Decisive Duel! Battle Against the Great Old Ones!"

Tokyo, Ariake "Judgment Day"

To tell the truth, I always hoped I'd get to let loose, too!

Tick Tock Man!

You asshole! How is this a fair game?

Oh, there you are, Miko-san!

A wish as ambitious as yours requires a game of commensurate difficulty to be cleared.

Can't have one without the other!

Look at this, everyone!

Is what we're seeing real?

A kaiju has appeared in Toyosu and is leveling the city!

Don't compare me to some dumb beast!

Oh, my apologies. I'm having trouble keeping my new strength under control.

Hello, people of Japan.

I have many names. "The Faceless God," "Man of a Thousand Faces," and...

Breaking News: Massive Kaiju Appears in Toyosu

"The Crawling Chaos, Nyarla—"

Hold it right there!

What? You're interrupting the big reveal.

Th-There's another one!

Cthulhu?!

This size is...

exhausting.

I hate this planet's gravity.

A kaiju! Another kaiju has appeared!

Has Miko Kurono gone mad?!

Lady—no, just Cthulhu.

I could have sworn you had already fallen into the unlighted chambers.

What do you think you're doing?

The game has to be fair, or it doesn't count.

Isn't that what you said?

I see.

So Azathoth did this for game balance?

How annoying.

So, are you taking the human's side?

My goodness, no.

I'm your enemy.

Aren't you supposed to be allies?

I've never thought that. Not even once.

You...

Don't get the wrong idea.

I'm just saying the game has to be fair, or it's boring.

R-Right.

Now, Miko.

Pilot me with that controller

and defeat him!

Huh? What controller?

I-I see.

So that's it?

That's it.

So as long as Azathoth remains trapped in this system, we are bound to follow game logic.

Then I will win this game and be free!

Let's do this, Miko!

Right!

Move with the d-pad!

Jump with A!

B for tentacles!

Some attacks require holding the button, too!

Tap twice to backstep!

Super jump!

Dodge attack!

What the heck is that?

Now! Get mashing!

What?!

It's the power gauge!

Your button mashing will charge all kinds of things!

What kinds of things?!

You know, all those things humans have!

Anger, bonds, whatever!

Stop making fun of us!

Now, mash that button with all those things in your heart!

Damn it!

Somebody swap this for an arcade stick!

It changed!

With this...

You're a picky gamer, I see.

Miko, over there!

Okay!

Here!

How you like that?

Miko?

It seems this is the end!

I can't move my hands...

Kanna! I thought you were dead!

I might be.

But right now, we're in a temporary singularity where reality and chaos are all mixed up!

Whether you win or lose will decide the future!

I'm going to win...

...of course!

Thanks.

For what?

This crazy game was your idea, right?

I'm not just doing it for you.

You're a bonus extra.

Even now, you're not being honest!

I'll be player 2!

Let me control the tentacles!

You've become much kinder, Lady Cthulhu.

Or perhaps you've gone soft.

What did you say?

This is bad.

I can't keep this up.

Aren't you always calling yourself the "Great" Cthulhu? Don't give up so easily!

That's easy for you to say.

Miko, we don't have much of a chance.

Do something.

What do you mean, "something"?

Damn it!

Don't you have some kind of finishing move?

If we could at least halt his movement...

Lure him onto Odaiba, would you?

O-Okay.

Kanna! Push him to Odaiba!

Right!

Wh-What are you doing?

Makes no sense, huh?

Well, I went mad a long time ago!

Too bad!

That's not enough to...

I've got you now!

Kei-san!

Miko-san, looks like you found my secret code.

Yeah, thanks!

So, um, Kei-san... Are you actually alive?

I am!

No fair! I'm pretty sure I died! Maybe!

But what did you do?

To deceive your enemy, you must first deceive your friends.

This can't be...

The Elder Sign!

The last big trap to seal you away!

When did you...

We had plenty of time while you were enjoying our game.

You deceived us, too?
