Shiroe and his group take Serara southwards.  On the way, they stop at the house of one of the "People of the Land".  The people of the land were originally only characters in the game, with no personalities or unique traits of their own, but as Naotsugu talks to them, something seems odd...  The party gradually realizes that the world isn't the same as it was when it was a game.
Each of us was in a different guild, 
and was quite different than the others.
Unsere Persönlichkeiten und Gilden
waren total verschieden.
Todos estábamos en gremios diferentes,
Nous étions tous
d’univers différents,
Ognuno di noi era in una gilda diversa
 ed eravamo molto diversi l'uno dall'altro.
Cada um de nós foi para 
um clã,
Все там были своенравны
и приходили из разных гильдий.
