    Looks like titles are easy
    to come by, not just skills.
[00:18] S
    Are you awake?
[00:20] S
    Be careful when you look down, please.
[00:26] S
    Sorry about that.

[02:07] Zena
    Thank you very much.
[02:09] Zena
    I was fighting a wyvern, I think...
[02:12] S
    You came flying down from the sky
    when I was climbing up that cliff.
[02:16] Zena
    I see.
[02:18] Zena
    You've saved my life.

    Zena Marienteil
    Lv.13
[02:20] S
    I'm confident I would have fallen in love
    with this girl if I was still in high school.
[02:25] S
    My name is Satou.
[02:27] Zena
    S-Satou-san, huh?
[02:30] ---
    Satou
[02:30] S
    I should have thought of something better.
[02:34] Zena
    I-I am a retainer of Count Seiryuu,
    a magic soldiers. The name's Zena.

    Occupation: Soldier

    Skill: Wind Magic, Mediation
    Note: No Boyfriend
[02:39] Zena
    I've been serving the territorial
    army for two years now.
[02:41] Zena
    I'm seventeen, and unmarried.
[02:42] Zena
    I-I don't have a boyfriend, either!
[02:44] S
    You didn't have to tell me all that.
[02:49] Lilio
    Who are you?!
[02:50] Lilio
    Move away from our friend!
[02:52] Zena
    Hold on a second, Lilio. He's fine.
[02:55] Lilio
    You be quiet, Zenacchi!
[02:57] S
    N-Nice to meet you, soldiers.
[03:00] S
    I'm a traveling merchant. My name is Satou.
[03:05] Iona
    You're awfully empty-handed for a merchant.
[03:08] S
    D-Darn. I guess it's rare to
    carry wares in a bag like this.
[03:09] S
    Storage
     All Items
     Equipment
     Food
[03:10] S
    Garage Bag
    A bag with an expanded amount of space.
    This bag fits more items than it looks like it can.
[03:15] S
    This is quite embarrassing to say,
[03:16] S
    but my pack horse ran away,
    scared by the meteorites.
[03:18] S
    Acquired Skill: Making Excuses
    Acquired Skill: Fabrication
[03:21] S
    I don't really want this skill, but...
[03:23] S
    Making Excuses
    Fabrication
[03:24] Iona
    Meteorites? You mean the starfall.
[03:29] Iona
    Unfortunate for you.
[03:30] Iona
    If you really were traveling
    and saw the starfall,
[03:32] Iona
    you would have run in the opposite direction.
[03:34] S
    Used Skill: Fabrication
[03:35] S
    The savior of my grandfather's
    life is buried in Soldiers' Stronghold,
[03:39] S
    and when I visited, that starfall happened.
[03:41] S
    I chased after my pack horse,
    but I couldn't catch it.
[03:48] Iona
    Show me your papers, then.
[03:50] Zena
    You don't have to go that far!
[03:51] Iona
    Those are the rules!
[03:53] S
    I left my papers in the pocket of
    the cloak I had on my pack horse,
[03:54] S
    Used Skill: Fabrication
[03:58] ---
    so I can't show you anything...
[04:01] Iona
    Very well.
[04:03] Iona
    We can just issue you some in Seiryuu City.
[04:06] Iona
    Maxing "Fabrication" and
    "Making Excuses" really did the trick.
[04:09] Iona
    Worked perfectly.
[04:16] Zena
    We're an investigative squad sent
    out from Seiryuu City to determine
[04:21] ---
    if there have been any
    changes after the starfall.
[04:25] S
    A wyvern corpse?
[04:27] Zena
    Armor and cloaks made from
    wyvern hides are tough,
[04:30] ---
    so we can probably sell them for good money.
[04:33] Iona
    But on the other hand,
[04:34] ---
    we'll have to worry if there's any wyvern
    \nmeat in the meals they give us for a while.
[04:40] S
    Does it not taste good?
[04:42] R
    It's terrible.
[04:43] R
    Anyone gets one taste of it,
    and they'll never want it again.
[04:47] R
    That being said, those in West Town
    and the slaves would eat it up.
[04:52] S
    They have slaves here, huh?
[04:54] S
    I hope I'm not getting a slave's
    meal when we get to the city.
[04:58] S
    Seiryuu City
[04:58] S
    Approximately eighty percent of
    Seiryuu City's residents are normal citizens,
[05:02] S
    and the remaining twenty are slaves.
[05:04] S
    Not just humans either, huh?
[05:08] S
    There's a single elf, too.
[05:10] S
    One of these demons, too.
[05:13] Zena
    Satou-san,
[05:15] Zena
    you can see it now.
[05:24] Zena
    Satou-san, do you have plans on staying
    somewhere once we reach Seiryuu City?
[05:29] S
    I was thinking of getting a room at an inn.
[05:32] Iona
    Gate Inn would be good.
[05:35] Iona
    It's right past the main entrance.
[05:37] Iona
    It's a little pricey,
    but known for its good food.
[05:50] Zena
    Anyway, Satou-san, I have
    to do my debriefing,
[05:54] ---
    so I can't stay with you any longer.
[05:56] Zena
    I'll stop by later to say thanks.
[05:58] S
    You don't have to thank me.
[06:00] Zena
    No, as a member of the Marienteil
    family, I will give you my thanks.
[06:04] S
    She was pretty insistent just now.
[06:07] Zena
    I totally will!
[06:09] S
    If I was younger, I probably would've
    thought she was in love with me.
[06:14] Sn
    Oh, it's Iona.
[06:18] Iona
    This man saved Zena-san's life.
[06:21] Iona
    He seems to have lost his papers,
    so I'd like you to reissue them.
[06:24] Sn
    No problem.
[06:25] Sn
    Want to use the Yamato Stone?
[06:27] Iona
    Yes, please.
[06:29] Sn
    Kid, place both your hands
    on top of the Yamato Stone.
[06:33] S
    Yamato Stone?
[06:35] S
    Is this going to send me
    to space, or something?
[06:37] Sn
    I need to ask you,
[06:39] Sn
    but you're not wanted or a thief, right?
[06:42] S
    Of course not.
[06:44] Sn
    Okay, say your name.
[06:45] S
    My name...
[06:47] S
    I guess Suzuki Ichirou isn't going to work.
    I should use my character name.
[06:51] S
    Satou.
[06:55] S
    It's my status information.
SIGN    Status Race: Human Age: 15 Level 1 Affiliation: None Status: Commoner Title: None
[06:59] S
    Looks like my information
    before I leveled up.
[07:02] S
    Character
    Satou
[07:04] S
    I see. So that's what's going on
[07:06] Sn
    Kid, you can remove your hands now.
[07:08] Sn
    You're an adult, huh?
[07:11] Sn
    I thought you were younger.
[07:14] Sn
    In any event, you're an adult, and level 1...
[07:17] Sn
    Guess your parents really didn't let you out.
[07:19] S
    Yeah...
[07:20] S
    I guess 15 makes you an
    adult in this country.
[07:23] Sn
    There we go.
[07:25] Sn
    Anyway, don't lose it next time.
[07:27] Sn
    One silver coin for the paperwork.
[07:29] S
    Sure.
[07:30] Sn
    How about the tax for entering the city?
[07:31] Sn
    It's one large copper for commoners.
[07:34] Iona
    In exchange for saving Zena-san,
    the tax has been waived.
[07:39] Sn
    You're pretty lucky.
[07:41] Sn
    Anyway, take this.
[07:42] Sn
    It's your city entry visa.
[07:44] Sn
    Acquired Item: Seiryuu City Entry Visa
[07:44] Sn
    It's valid for ten days.
[07:47] Sn
    If you'd like to say longer than that,
[07:49] ---
    you'll have to request an extension at
    this station, or the town hall in Central.
[07:54] Sn
    They'll handle it for three copper,
    no matter where you go.
[07:57] S
    Thanks.
[07:58] Sn
    Also, if you're discovered by
    a soldier with an expired visa,
[08:02] Sn
    there's a fine of one silver.
[08:05] Sn
    If you can't pay it, you'll be made
    into a slave, so remember that.
[08:09] S
    Right. Thank you very much.
[08:16] S
    Being made a slave because you
    overstayed your visa is pretty bad.
[08:22] Iona
    That place with the yellow sign is
    the Gate Inn I was talking about.
[08:26] S
    Got it.
[08:28] S
    Thank you for helping out, Iona-san.
[08:33] S
    This townscape is absolutely wonderful.
[08:36] S
    As a game creator,
[08:37] ---
    there's no way I wouldn't
    get excited over this.
[08:50] ---
    You there!
[08:54] Martha
    You just came from the gate, right?
[08:56] Martha
    If you don't have an inn
    yet, come to my place.
[08:58] Martha
    We'll give you a great deal.
[09:00] Martha
    We've got great food, and clean beds.

    Martha
     Age: 13
     Height
     None
[09:06] S
    She's 13?
[09:08] S
    This feels rather ample
    for someone who's 13.
[09:11] S
    The yellow sign...
[09:12] S
    Gate Inn
[09:13] S
    Then this is where...
[09:16] Martha
    Mom, I brought a customer.
[09:19] M
    You're always so pushy.
[09:22] S
    It's fine.
[09:24] S
    This softness is wonderful.
[09:26] S
    Mosa
    Lv. 6
[09:27] S
    And this female innkeeper...
[09:29] S
    Mosa
    Lv. 6
[09:29] S
    If she was ten, no, twenty kilograms
    lighter, I'd totally go for that.

[09:35] M
    Hey, so do you have any luggage?
[09:38] S
    Used Skill: Fabrication
[09:38] S
    Well, I lost my belongings when my pack horse
    \nran away due to the starfall the other day.
[09:43] S
    Luckily, I still had my wallet,
    so I was able to get into town.
[09:47] M
    That must've been rough.
[09:49] M
    If you want to stay without any meal
    service, it'll be one large copper.
[09:52] M
    If you eat in our pub,
    you'll get a free item with that.
[09:57] S
    I'll stay ten days, then.
[09:59] M
    Acquired Skill: Negotiation
[09:59] M
    No problem.
[10:00] M
    That'll be two silver exactly, then.
[10:02] S
    So that means five large
    copper makes one silver.
[10:06] S
    Acquired Skill: Estimation
[10:07] S
    Could I get some food right now?
[10:09] M
    Unfortunately, we've put out
    the fire in the kitchen,
[10:12] M
    so the only thing we have is some
    quiche we've made that's been out.
[10:16] S
    I'll take that, then.
[10:18] M
    Here you are.
[10:20] M
    It'll be one copper.
[10:22] M
    That bowl is on us.
[10:27] Martha
    Mom's quiche is much better when it's fresh.
[10:30] M
    Martha, did you clean those merchants' room?
    Those cowards left this morning.
[10:35] Martha
    Sorry, I haven't yet.
[10:36] Martha
    See you later!
[10:39] S
    Coward merchants?
[10:40] M
    Oh, during the starfall,
[10:43] ---
    they started yelling that the
    Demon Lord picked a fight
[10:46] ---
    with the dragons in the Valley
    of Dragons, and took off.
[10:50] S
    There's a Demon Lord?
[10:52] M
    Yeah, there was.
[10:54] M
    It's been about 60 or 70 years
    now since a Hero defeated him.
[10:58] M
    Haven't heard of him reviving
    in another country at all yet.
[11:03] S
    So there was a Demon Lord.
[11:05] S
    There was a Hero, too...
[11:07] S
    I'm glad someone's already taken him out.
[11:10] S
    If this works like a game, then he'll revive
    as the main character does the events.
[11:16] M
    Even if the Demon Lord attacks,
[11:18] M
    he'll hit the Labyrinth City area first.
[11:20] M
    The opposite end of the country.
[11:23] S
    Makes it sound like the Demon
    Lord is going to attack...
[11:27] M
    Wyverns are more of a concern in these parts.
[11:30] S
    The dragons don't attack?
[11:32] M
    You hear about them in the legends, right?
[11:34] M
    Dragons are sleepy-heads.
[11:36] M
    They're sleeping in the Valley of Dragons,
    so they rarely head out.
[11:40] M
    The last one we saw was two years ago.
[11:42] M
    And the time before that
    was long before I was born.
[11:46] M
    A black dragon attacked back then,
[11:48] ---
    and all the goats and sheep were eaten.
    It was a huge deal, supposedly.
[11:52] S
    She's talking about the livestock,
[11:55] ---
    but I wonder if there were
    any human casualties.
[11:57] R
    Innkeeper, do you have a moment?
[11:58] M
    I'll be right there.
[12:01] S
    She left.
[12:03] S
    Oh, well. Time to eat.
[12:07] S
    The main dish is a quiche
    with lots of potato.
[12:15] S
    This is good, even if it's cooled down.
[12:20] S
    Pickled Salt Cabbage
     Ingredients: Cabbage, Salt,
     Turnip Leaves
[12:21] S
    I thought this was bok choy due to
    the white color, but it's cabbage.
[12:26] S
    It's similar to the sauerkraut
    I had when I went on that
[12:29] ---
    super-cheap trip to Germany a while ago.
[12:30] Martha
    It's less sour if you mix them.
[12:33] S
    Oh, Martha-chan.
[12:35] S
    Did you finish cleaning?
[12:37] Martha
    Yeah.
[12:37] S
    Oh, yeah, is there any place
    that sells general supplies?
[12:41] Martha
    General supplies?
[12:42] Martha
    Hmm...
[12:44] Martha
    You can get used items and clothing
    from the booths on West Street.
[12:48] Martha
    New clothes are best
    tailored on Central Street,
[12:52] Martha
    but they're expensive.
[12:54] S
    Are there any places that sell new
    prefab clothes, not tailored ones?
[12:57] Martha
    Hmm?
[12:58] Martha
    You mean ready-tailored clothes?
[13:00] Martha
    You use hard words for being so young.
[13:03] Martha
    There's some on Teputa Avenue,
    but they're rather expensive.
[13:06] S
    Teputa Avenue, huh?
[13:08] S
    Teputa Avenue
[13:10] Martha
    I know!
[13:11] Martha
    I can take you there.

[13:16] RA
    How much for three?
[13:18] SA
    Two bits.
[13:19] RA
    Too expensive. I'll take it for one bit.
[13:22] S
    Looks like it's normal to haggle.
[13:25] S
    That must be a demi-human!
[13:27] R
    You filthy animal!
[13:30] R
    Stay away from East Town.
[13:36] R
    You're just slaves.

    Here you are.
[14:06] Tama
    Thank you.
[14:07] Pochi
    Yeah.
[14:09] S
    There's a lot of people on the
    major streets. Be careful.
[14:37] S
    What's wrong?
[14:38] Martha
    You were being nice to demi-humans.
[14:41] S
    Are the demi-humans hated here?
[14:44] Martha
    Yes, for a long time hunters and farmers
    that came to sell their crops
[14:49] ---
    were often killed by demi-humans.
[14:52] S
    I see.
[14:53] S
    Maybe they're like thieves and bandits.
[14:56] Martha
    Hey, Satou-san, take a look at this.
[14:58] Martha
    Look.
[14:59] S
    She sure changes gears real fast.
[15:13] Sh
    I'll give that to you for three copper.
[15:15] S
    You can't do one copper?
[15:15] S
    Acquired Skill: Haggling
[15:17] Sh
    It costs more to make the thing.
    I'll need at least two copper.
[15:20] S
    How about one copper and two bits?
[15:22] Sh
    Can't go lower than one copper and four bits.
[15:25] S
    How about one copper and three bits?
[15:28] Sh
    You've got yourself a sale.
[15:33] Martha
    Thank you, Satou-san.
[15:35] S
    It's fine.
[15:36] S
    You're showing me around town, so thank you.
[15:38] S
    If I wanted to win her over, I could
    just compliment her a bunch here.
[15:45] Martha
    This is a dragon mask.
[15:47] Martha
    We put them on during the Harvest Festival.
[15:49] Sh
    What do you think?
[15:51] Sh
    The dragon mask will bring you
    good health and a safe home.
[15:55] S
    Do you put this on with the dragon mask?
[15:58] Sh
    The dragon mask is for the people
    playing the part of the dragon.
[16:00] Sh
    The black wig is for
    people playing the Hero,
[16:04] Sh
    and this gold wig is for the
    the Hero's friends or princess.
[16:18] S
    I ended up buying both
    the mask and the wig...

    Good for you, Yuni.
[17:02] ---
    Yeah!
[17:04] S
    Oh, yeah. Do you have any baths?
[17:07] Martha
    There's a public bath in the inner-walls,
[17:10] Martha
    but us commoners can't use it.
[17:12] S
    Then what do you do, Martha-chan?
[17:14] Martha
    There's a well in the back,
    so we wash ourselves off there.
[17:17] S
    I-I see...
[17:27] S
    Can I get whatever you'd
    recommend for dinner?

    We only have water or alcohol.
[17:34] S
    I'll get something on the weaker
    side that goes down easy.
[17:37] S
    Mead
[17:37] Martha
    How about some cider watered down?
[17:40] Martha
    If you don't mind dishing out a bit more,
[17:41] Martha
    Mead
    Wine
[17:41] Martha
    watered down wine or mead
    might be more your style.
[17:43] S
    I'll take the mead, then.
[17:45] Martha
    No problem.
[17:46] Martha
    Hold on a second, 'kay?
[17:51] S
    Well, that looks good.
[17:53] Martha
    You've got wild boar steak
    and vegetable soup.
[17:53] ---
    Wild Boar Steak
[17:54] ---
    Wild Boar Steak
    Vegetable Soup
[17:56] Martha
    There's also your mead and water.
[17:56] ---
    Wild Boar Steak
    Vegetable Soup
    Mead with Water
[17:56] ---
    Wild Boar Steak
    Vegetable Soup
    Mead with Water?
    Rye Bread
[17:58] Martha
    Please eat it while it's still warm.
[18:01] S
    I wasn't being polite.
    This really looks good.
[18:04] S
    I'll start with that vegetable soup.
[18:11] S
    The ingredients have been well cooked,
[18:13] S
    and they melt in the mouth.
[18:14] S
    The flavors from the vegetables
    spread throughout my mouth, too.
[18:17] S
    This is good.
[18:18] S
    This'll warm me up.
[18:21] S
    I bet this is popular during the winter.
[18:24] S
    Anyway, next up is the main
    course, this wild boar steak.
[18:28] S
    The last wild boar I ate had
    a strong smell to it...
[18:35] S
    This is good!
[18:37] S
    Not much fat in the meat,
    and it is a little gamy,
[18:39] S
    but it's got this great rustic flavor
[18:41] ---
    with a punch to it—a bit different
    from your standard beef.
[18:47] S
    This is a bit tough, but you
    can tell it's got love in it.
[18:50] S
    The crunching you hear when your
    chewing is actually quite fun.
[18:52] S
    It goes well with the boar.
[18:54] ---
    Acquired Skill: Alcohol Resistance
[18:57] S
    This rough taste is completely
    soothed by the honey in here.
[19:02] S
    Gives you that great feeling
    you only get with alcohol.
[19:13] Martha
    How was it, Satou-san?
[19:15] Martha
    Would you like seconds?
[19:16] S
    Yes, please.
[19:19] Martha
    Sure.
[19:23] S
    I ate too much...
[19:27] S
    But this inn is great.
[19:30] S
    The food's good and the beds are clean.
[19:33] S
    The staff is cute, too.
[19:35] S
    Service I could only dream of.
[19:39] S
    I didn't see any dragons,
[19:41] S
    but the lizardmen couldn't be more realistic.
[19:45] S
    Zena-san and the others' fight with the wyvern
[19:48] ---
    could be used in a fantasy RPG
    promotional video it was so tense.
[19:52] S
    And the feeling of reality I got
    from the Seiryuu City townscape...
[19:55] S
    The number of variations
    in the townspeople...
[20:00] S
    But hold on...
[20:03] S
    The things I've seen in this world
[20:05] ---
    don't really match up with
    the games or stories I know.
[20:10] S
    I used to be quite the nerd in middle school,
[20:13] S
    but I've never created a language on my own,
[20:14] S
    Gate Inn
[20:15] S
    and I'm experiencing the taste of
    things I've never tasted before.
[20:18] ---
    
[20:21] S
    This might be too weird for just a dream...!
[20:24] S
    If it isn't a dream,
[20:27] ---
    then what is it?
[20:28] ---
    You can use points to upgrade your skill
[20:29] S
    It feels like a game, but
    I can't log out or save.
[20:32] S
    If I beat this game-like world,
    then will I go back?
[20:37] S
    But there's no concept of
    "beating" something in an MMO...
[20:43] S
    This isn't working.
[20:44] S
    There's not enough information
    to come up with an answer.
[20:46] S
    I'm putting this on hold for now.
[21:08] S
    In any event, my current plan of action,
[21:11] ---
    is to have fun sightseeing in this world.
[21:13] S
    Finding a way home will be second to that.
[21:17] S
    I finally get to do something different.
[21:20] S
    I might as well have tons of fun, and learn
    things to help me as a game creator.
[21:31] Martha
    Satou-san, are you awake?
[21:34] S
    Good morning...
[21:37] Martha
    You need to hurry up.
    Your girlfriend's here.
[21:42] S
    Girlfriend?
[21:44] Zena
    Good morning, Satou-san.
[21:46] S
    Good morning.
[21:48] S
    That's a lovely outfit you have on.
[21:50] S
    What brings you here today?
[21:52] Zena
    W-Well, I'm not on duty today.
[21:58] Zena
    I was thinking of taking you around the city.
