    Thanks for all your help.
[00:18] Kuro
    Ah, Banaza. Is this the last of the cargo?
[00:21] Banaza
    That was the plan,
[00:23] Banaza
    but there may be more later,
    depending on how the negotiations go.

    Why don't you have dinner with
    your companions while you wait?
[00:30] Human Man2
    Hey, that guy's giving money to a demihuman.
[00:34] Human Man3
    What a weirdo.
[00:37] Kuro
    I appreciate the offer,
    but we're demihumans, you know.
[00:42] Banaza
    Does that make any difference?
[00:44] Banaza
    I'm the one making you all wait.
[00:46] Banaza
    At least let me do this much for you.
[00:50] Quinn
    Once Banaza makes an offer,
    he won't take no for an answer.
[00:53] Banaza
    Quinn.
[00:54] Quinn
    Go on and have a nice meal together.
[00:57] Kuro
    Really? Well, then... we gladly accept.
[01:00] Kuro
    Hey! We're goin' to dinner!
[01:03] Kuro
    Stop to thank Banaza, then follow me!
[01:07] Demihuman1
    Thank you, Banaza!
[01:10] Demihuman2
    We appreciate the treat!
[01:11] Demihuman3
    Thank you for always being kind to us.
[01:13] Banaza
    Not at all. Have fun!
[01:15] Human Man4
    Hypocrite.
[01:22] Banaza
    Why does it matter if
    you're human or demihuman?
[01:24] Banaza
    Can't we all just get along,
    no matter what we are?
[01:28] Quinn
    It'd be nice, but there aren't many
    in the capital who feel that way.
[01:40] Banaza
    Wh-What is this?!
[01:43] Quinn
    Something wrong?
[01:45] Quinn
    Banaza?
[01:48] Banaza
    I don't know why I was chosen.
[01:53] Banaza
    I just know that I'm here in this world now.

[01:59] Priest
    The summoning of the 198th
    hero candidate is a success.
[02:09] Banaza
    Where am I?
[02:13] Priest
    Welcome to the Magical Kingdom
    of Klyrode, hero candidate.
[02:19] Banaza
    Sorry?
[02:20] Banaza
    Wh-What is all this, exactly?
[02:23] Banaza
    And "hero candidate"?
    There must be some kind of mistake.
[02:26] Banaza
    I'm just a merchant called Banaza.
[02:30] Priest
    To assist in our prolonged
    battle against the Dark Army,
[02:34] Priest
    we summon potential heroes from other worlds
[02:36] Priest
    in accordance with our ancient traditions,
[02:40] Priest
    in hopes that they will
    fight the Dark Army for us.
[02:43] Banaza
    The Dark Army?
[02:44] Priest
    I will now assess your abilities.
[02:51] Servant1
    Please place your hands here.
[02:54] Banaza
    Huh?
[02:57] Servant1
    Here.
[03:02] Priest
    In exchange for returning to level 1
    after being summoned to our world,
[03:07] Priest
    candidates receive divine
    blessings from our gods.
[03:10] Priest
    These are powers that no ordinary
    person can acquire simply by training.
[03:17] Priest
    We call this the Divine Revelation.

    Nobody will listen to me.
[04:53] Banaza
    The Magical Kingdom of Klyrode, huh?
[04:56] Banaza
    I've never heard of it.
    Is this really a different world?
[05:01] Banaza
    In any case, I need to get
    them to send me back home.
[05:08] Soldier
    Get in.
[05:11] Banaza
    Hey!
[05:18] Banaza
    Ow...
[05:19] Banaza
    Why is all this happening to me?
[05:22] Attendant
    The gate through which you were
    summoned has already closed.
[05:27] Attendant
    It can't be opened again.
[05:29] Banaza
    Y-You can't...
[05:31] Banaza
    Then how am I going to...
[05:33] Attendant
    The inability to return you to your original
    world is a failure on our nation's part.
[05:39] Attendant
    That being the case, we grant you
    special permission to take up residence
[05:44] Attendant
    in the Delaveza Forest to the north,
    and live out your life there.
[05:48] Attendant
    However, you are strictly forbidden
    to speak of this blunder to anyone.
[05:55] Banaza
    Um, can I ask you something?
[05:57] Driver
    Sorry, but I've been told not to talk to you.
[06:02] Banaza
    Please don't say that.
[06:04] Banaza
    I'm from very far away, so I
    don't know this country well.
[06:08] Banaza
    I was hoping you could tell me all about it.
[06:12] Banaza
    Are you in a slave contract with the king?
[06:15] Driver
    A slave contract?
[06:17] Banaza
    In my old world, contracts like that were
    common between humans and demihumans.
[06:24] Driver
    You came from a pretty horrible place, then.
[06:28] Driver
    Yeah, my pay might not be all that high,
[06:30] Driver
    but we're not slaves at all.
[06:33] Driver
    In this country, it doesn't matter
    who's a human and who's a demihuman.
[06:37] Banaza
    Oh, gosh! I'm so sorry!
[06:41] Banaza
    Anyway, about this Delaveza Forest
    that we're headed for...
[06:44] Driver
    We're done talking.
[06:47] Banaza
    But we're the only ones here. You could—
[06:52] Banaza
    Okay, then.
[07:03] Banaza
    They were saying something
    about a "Dark One,"
[07:06] Banaza
    but maybe this world isn't really so bad.

[07:23] Driver
    We're here.

[07:38] Banaza
    This is a Bottomless Bag, isn't it?
[07:40] Driver
    Yep.
[07:41] Driver
    It should have enough money and
    food in it to last you for a while.
[07:47] Driver
    Rumor has it the Dark Army
    lurks around these parts.
[07:50] Banaza
    What?
[07:51] Driver
    Take my advice.
[07:53] Driver
    If you don't wanna die,
    get away from here fast. Got it?
[07:57] Banaza
    Thank you for the ride!
[08:01] Banaza
    Telling me to run away, though...
[08:04] Banaza
    I don't even know where I'd run to.
[08:10] Banaza
    Oh, good.
[08:12] Banaza
    Looks like it works the same way as
    the Bottomless Bags in my old world.

    "You can now turn on voice guidance."
[09:17] Banaza
    Great, I was just wanting someone to talk to.
[09:19] Voice
    Initiating voice guidance.
[09:22] Voice
    With your increased level,
[09:24] Voice
    you have acquired the following magic spells.
[09:27] Voice
    You can activate them
    without using the windows.
[09:32] Banaza
    Wh-Why would you throw
    them at me all at once?!
[09:34] Voice
    Location Tracking, Monster Luring,
    and Forced Recovery spells
[09:38] Voice
    have been applied to your Bottomless Bag.
[09:40] Banaza
    Huh?!
[09:42] Banaza
    So that's why those slimes attacked me?
[09:47] Banaza
    And this weapon's useless, so I guess...
[09:51] Banaza
    Someone's telling me to
    just hurry up and die.
[09:53] Voice
    Remove the spells that have
    been applied to your bag?
[09:56] Banaza
    You can do that?
[09:57] Voice
    Yes.
[09:58] Banaza
    Do it, then.
[10:03] Voice
    Spells have been removed.
[10:05] Banaza
    They used magic that's
    this easy to get rid of?
[10:08] Banaza
    What were they even trying to do?
[10:11] Banaza
    No point in thinking about it.
[10:13] Banaza
    Right now, I need to find a safe
    place where I can protect myself.
[10:16] Voice
    Warning.
[10:17] Banaza
    What now?!
[10:19] Voice
    The Delaveza Forest is contaminated
    with a high concentration of Malicium.
[10:23] Banaza
    Malicium?
[10:25] Voice
    Malicium is the generic term for
    liquid or gaseous substances
[10:28] Voice
    emitted and dispersed by demons.
[10:31] Voice
    It causes serious harm to humanoid races.
[10:34] Voice
    Purify the forest?
[10:36] Banaza
    I mean, if that's something
    you can do, you should, right?
[10:39] Banaza
    They told me I have to live here, after all.
[10:41] Voice
    This spell will consume
    one-third of your magic.
[10:46] Banaza
    It doesn't even matter how much magic I have.
[10:50] Banaza
    That's fine with me.
[10:51] Voice
    Understood. Activating now.
[10:56] Banaza
    Huh?
[11:08] Banaza
    Huh?
[11:09] Banaza
    That was some really intense light,
[11:12] Banaza
    but it doesn't look like
    anything's really changed...
[11:14] Voice
    Your level has increased.
[11:17] Voice
    Your level has increased.
[11:19] Voice
    Your level has increased.
[11:20] Banaza
    Whoa, wait, wait, wait!
[11:22] Banaza
    Huh?! What?! What?!
[11:27] First Princess
    Father!
[11:28] First Princess
    This is far too cruel!
[11:30] King
    What's so cruel about it, first princess?
[11:34] First Princess
    The hero candidate couldn't return to
    his world due to a mistake on our part,
[11:39] First Princess
    and now you've driven him
    out to the Delaveza Forest?
[11:42] First Princess
    It's rumored that the Dark Army has
    set up its frontline base there!
[11:47] King
    Hmph. He was just a piece of
    trash that couldn't be our hero.
[11:51] Messenger
    Many pardons, Your Majesty!
[11:53] King
    What's this about?
[11:54] Messenger
    We have found evidence that the highest
    Holy Magic of all, Purification, was just used.
[12:01] King
    Oh!
[12:02] King
    The Golden-Haired Hero just set
    out subjugate the Dark One!
[12:05] King
    He must have used it!
[12:07] King
    To think he's acquired such
    high-level Holy Magic already!
[12:10] King
    Truly a once-in-a-century talent!
[12:13] King
    I'd expect no less of a man I chose myself!
[12:16] Messenger
    Actually...
[12:18] Messenger
    The Purification spell was not used in
    the south, where the hero is headed.
[12:22] Messenger
    It was in a forest far to the north.
[12:27] Voice
    Your level has increased.
[12:29] Banaza
    W-Wow...
[12:31] Banaza
    I didn't even kill any monsters.
[12:33] Banaza
    How did my level get this high so fast?
[12:36] Banaza
    Maybe you can level up just
    by using magic in this world.
[12:41] Banaza
    That weird symbol is still there, too.
[12:44] Banaza
    What's going on?
[12:46] Banaza
    Guess I'll turn off the "level up" notifications.
    They're just confusing me.
[12:50] Voice
    Understood.
[12:53] Banaza
    Oh, right. How much magic do I have left?
[12:59] Banaza
    Fully restored in just seconds?
[13:02] Banaza
    I guess my magic capacity
    really isn't all that great.
[13:05] Banaza
    But that aside, what do I do now?
[13:08] Banaza
    I don't even know how much my lame
    magic actually purified this place.
[13:12] Banaza
    But I've been banned from
    living in town, so...
[13:16] Voice
    Shapeshift magic is recommended. Use spell?
[13:20] Banaza
    Oh, yeah! It's fine if no one knows it's me!
[13:24] Banaza
    Yeah, do it!
[13:25] Voice
    Please choose your desired gender.
[13:28] Banaza
    Okay, then...
[13:46] Banaza (Girl)
    Stop it! I have to live
    in this body from now on!
[13:50] Banaza (Girl)
    Take this seriously!
[13:58] Flio
    Okay. Now I can go in and
    out of town as I please,
[14:01] Flio
    and no one will recognize me as Banaza.
[14:03] Voice
    Teleportation magic recommended.
[14:06] Voice
    It will relocate you to the royal capital.
[14:08] Flio
    I can do that, too?
[14:10] Voice
    Use spell?
[14:12] Flio
    Of course!
[14:22] Flio
    Wow... I'm really in the city!
[14:25] Flio
    In my old world, that was a spell only
    really powerful sorcerers could use.
[14:30] Flio
    I guess it's different here.
[14:35] Flio
    Teleportation. Take me to my former world.
[14:42] Flio
    Yeah, no way that was gonna work.
[14:45] Flio
    Anyway, I'm gonna need to make some
    money if I have to live in this world.
[14:51] Flio
    I wonder if they have guilds here, too.
[14:54] Flio
    Even if I find a merchants' guild,
[14:56] Flio
    it'll be hard to register
    without knowing anyone here.
[15:00] Flio
    It'd help if I could find
    an adventurers' guild
[15:02] Flio
    where I could do some monster-hunting
    or cargo-transporting quests...
[15:05] Voice
    Proceed straight ahead to find the
    Klyrode Castle Town Adventurers' Guild.
[15:11] Flio
    This thing really is handy.
[15:14] Receptionist
    We assign ranks to adventurers
    based on what they've accomplished.
[15:18] Receptionist
    As your rank rises, you can earn better
    rewards and accept tougher quests.
[15:24] Receptionist
    Those registered with the guild
[15:25] Receptionist
    are eligible to receive reserve
    funds and compensation.
[15:28] Receptionist
    Will you register?
[15:30] Flio
    Seems like guilds here work pretty
    much the same as they did in my world.
[15:34] Flio
    Yes, please.
[15:36] Receptionist
    Very well, then.
[15:37] Receptionist
    What name will you register under?
[15:39] Flio
    Bana— Uh, I mean...
[15:40] Flio
    I'll go with Flio.
[15:42] Receptionist
    Flio, then? Of course.
[15:44] Flio
    I was on the spot, so I blurted
    out the name of a dog I once had.
[15:46] Receptionist
    Your registration is now complete.
[15:49] Receptionist
    Your registration information
    is recorded on this.
[15:52] Receptionist
    Please take it.
[15:53] Flio
    Thanks.
[15:55] Flio
    I want to make a lot of money quick,
[15:57] Flio
    but I probably can't earn
    any big rewards at my level.
[16:00] Girl
    Excuse me. I need help.
[16:03] Girl
    Could you escort me to the Delaveza Forest?
[16:09] Girl
    Please! I need an escort!
[16:11] Girl
    I can pay you for it!
[16:13] Adventurer2
    Rumor has it the Dark Army has its
    frontline base in that forest.
[16:17] Adventurer2
    No amount of money would
    convince me to go there.
[16:20] Adventurer3
    A punitive force will
    be sent out soon enough.
[16:22] Adventurer3
    Just wait until then.
[16:24] Girl
    But when will it be sent out?
[16:26] Girl
    My family lives near the Delaveza Forest,
    so I want to go help them.
[16:30] Adventurer2
    You're getting annoying. Lay off.
[16:37] Flio
    Miss, I could take you there,
    if you don't mind.
[16:45] Girl
    I don't have much money to pay you with.
[16:48] Girl
    Is that all right with you?
[16:50] Flio
    Sure. Fortunately, I've been
    to the Delaveza Forest before,
[16:54] Flio
    so we can get there instantly
    with Teleportation magic.
[16:58] Adventurer4
    Teleportation magic? That kid?
[17:00] Adventurer5
    He's obviously lying. No way he can use that.
[17:03] Flio
    Teleportation isn't a beginner spell?
[17:07] Flio
    It didn't seem to consume that
    much of my magic, though...
[17:11] Balirossa
    Get away from that little girl!
[17:13] Balirossa
    I am Balirossa of the royal knights.
[17:16] Balirossa
    You said you could use Teleportation magic,
[17:19] Balirossa
    but you don't look like a sorcerer skilled
    enough to use such an advanced spell.
[17:24] Balirossa
    What are you after?
[17:26] Belano
    Kidnapping, enslavement, human trafficking...
[17:29] Byleri
    Or are you a freak who's into little girls?
[17:32] Blossom
    Answer already,
[17:34] Blossom
    young man.
[17:39] Flio
    I don't want people from the castle
    setting their sights on me.
[17:43] Flio
    I need to clear up their suspicions.
[17:46] Flio
    I'm not anyone suspicious.
[17:48] Flio
    My name is Flio. I'm an adventurer.
[17:50] Flio
    Why don't you all come along with us?
[17:55] Balirossa
    No one will see us here.
[17:57] Balirossa
    Show us.
[17:58] Flio
    Right.
[17:59] Balirossa
    But if you try anything funny,
[18:01] Balirossa
    we'll do what needs to be done.
[18:04] Flio
    G-Got it. Okay, then...
[18:09] Flio
    Teleportation!
[18:16] Blossom
    Well, I'm shocked.
[18:18] Byleri
    This is definitely the Delaveza Forest.
[18:23] Belano
    Using Teleportation over
    such a great distance...
[18:26] Belano
    Are you a great sorcerer
    of the highest order?
[18:29] Flio
    No, I'm just a rookie adventurer
    who can use a bit of magic.
[18:35] Balirossa
    Sir Flio.
[18:35] Flio
    Y-Yes?
[18:37] Balirossa
    I was terribly rude to you earlier.
[18:40] Balirossa
    You have my most heartfelt apologies.
[18:43] Flio
    Hey, as long as you're not
    suspicious of me anymore...
[18:46] Girl
    Wh-Why?
[18:49] Flio
    Is something wrong?
[18:51] Girl
    The Malicium in the forest is gone.
[18:53] Girl
    I was sure this forest was enveloped
    in a thick layer of Malicium...
[18:57] Girl
    I don't even sense any magic beasts.
[19:00] Flio
    Oh, that's because I—
[19:02] Voice
    Caution.
[19:03] Voice
    It is dangerous to inform a demon
    that you used Purification.
[19:07] Flio
    Huh? A demon?
[19:09] Balirossa
    Sir Flio.
[19:11] Balirossa
    I'm sorry to involve you in this.
[19:13] Flio
    Huh?
[19:14] Balirossa
    Please stay back.
[19:29] Flio
    Ladies?!
[19:30] Balirossa
    What say you show us your
    true form now, little girl?
[19:35] Flio
    What's going on here?
[19:37] Balirossa
    The guild put out a notice
[19:40] Balirossa
    that a suspicious young girl has
    recently been soliciting assistance
[19:43] Balirossa
    in traveling to the Delaveza Forest.
[19:47] Byleri
    She wanted to go to the forest
    where the Dark Army is.
[19:50] Byleri
    She was practically telling us
    flat-out that she's suspicious.
[20:06] Girl
    Hmph. The likes of a knight
    employed by the castle
[20:11] Girl
    certainly has some nerve
    talking like that to me.
[20:30] Fenrys
    I am Fenrys, younger sister of
    Fengaryl of the Infernal Four.
[20:34] Fenrys
    Regret what you've done as my jaws crush you!
[20:38] Balirossa
    No... She's a lupine?!
[20:40] Fenrys
    My brother sent me to observe the
    enemy and find food, and yet you...
[20:46] Fenrys
    I need all of you to die!
[20:53] Balirossa
    I was expecting a scout of low standing...
[20:57] Balirossa
    not a demon related to the Infernal Four!
[21:00] Flio
    What's going on?!
[21:02] Fenrys
    Oh?
[21:03] Fenrys
    It seems one of you is
    unaffected by Malicium.
[21:06] Fenrys
    You may have a bit of backbone.
[21:09] Fenrys
    Once I finish the rest of these,
[21:12] Fenrys
    I will gladly face you!
[21:18] Flio
    That was close!
[21:22] Fenrys
    We lupines never let our quarry escape!
[21:26] Flio
    I can't run away and still
    protect all four of them.
[21:28] Flio
    I have to...
[21:29] Flio
    Teleportation! Take these four
    ladies to the Klyrode Castle Town!
[21:39] Flio
    Thank goodness! It worked!
[21:43] Fenrys
    Why did you alone stay behind?
[21:46] Fenrys
    Do you wish to become my food?
[21:49] Flio
    I still don't know why I was chosen.
[21:53] Flio
    But I refuse to be killed before I
    get to do anything in this world!
[21:58] Flio
    So...
[21:59] Flio
    I'll try out every single spell I have!
[23:40] Flio
    I got flung into another world, and now someone wants me dead?
[23:43] Flio
    "Quit complaining and die already!"
[23:45] Flio
    "Starting next week, this is Kickin' in Another World with Level 999 Super Cheat Powers,
[23:51] Flio
    starring me!"
[23:52] Fenrys
    I don't know who you are, but you die first!
[23:55] Flio
    Stop!
[23:56] Flio
    Next time, "Fenrys the Lupine Warrior."
SIGN    Next Time
SIGN    Fenrys the Lupine Warrior
[23:58] Flio
    See you then!
