[04:25] Michio
    I knew it. They're totally outmatched.
[04:29] Michio
    Huh?
[04:30] Michio
    This could be my opportunity to sneak up
    on him unnoticed and stab him from behind.
[04:38] Michio
    It's all right. This is the
    first event of the game.
[04:41] Michio
    Even a level 1 character like
    me should be able to beat him.
[04:46] Michio
    I've gotta try!
[04:54] Michio
    Who sprays this much blood?
[04:55] Michio
    Yup, definitely a shit game.
[04:59] Michio
    His armor prevents me from striking his body.
[05:02] Michio
    In that case, I'll do this and then that!
[05:08] Michio
    Whew. I'm glad I practice kendo.
[05:15] Michio
    They race to get away as soon as
    the situation turns against them.
[05:18] Michio
    They're just bandits, after all.
[05:20] Michio
    No need for me to hold back.

    I'd like to thank you in whatever way I can.

    Really? In that case, don't mind if I do.
[06:07] Michio
    What're these?
[06:09] Somara
    The spoils of battle.
[06:11] Somara
    You must be exhausted, but I'd like
    you to look through them, as well.
[06:16] Michio
    Me?
[06:17] Somara
    Yes. The villagers defeated
    two of the bandits,
[06:22] Somara
    so we'll be taking our share.
[06:24] Somara

    Mr. Michio, is something the matter?
[08:48] Michio
    No, it's nothing.
[08:51] Somara
    I see.
[08:52] Somara
    In that case, please let me know
    once you've finished changing.
[09:06] Michio
    I took people's lives.
[09:08] Michio
    That's definitely true.
[09:10] Michio
    But it's a matter of perspective.
[09:14] Michio
    In this world, it's normal for
    bandits to attack villages.
[09:18] Michio
    It's likely the same thing will happen again.
[09:21] Michio
    And when it does, if I lose my nerve, I won't
    even be able to watch what's happening.
[09:26] Michio
    I'm glad I got to experience this early on.
[09:28] Michio
    That's how I feel.
[09:31] Michio
    That's right. This is the real world.
[09:35] Michio
    And I have to live in it.
[09:42] Somara
    I am sorry, Mr. Michio.
[09:45] Somara
    This man swapped out the bandannas.
[09:48] Michio
    Is he from this village?
[09:50] Somara
    Embarrassingly, yes.
[09:53] Somara
    This is the article he was hiding.
SIGN    Thief's Bandanna
[09:56] Michio
    This is definitely it.
[09:57] Somara
    How shall we punish this man?
[10:01] Michio
    I'm sure your village has its own rules.
[10:04] Michio
    I don't intend to dispute them.
[10:07] Somara
    I-Is that so?
[10:10] Michio
    Huh? Why's he making that face?

[10:20] Somara
    Open Intelligence Card.
[10:22] Michio
    Something appeared.
[10:24] Michio
    What are you doing?
[10:26] Somara
    I've written on this man's
    Intelligence Card that he is a slave.
[10:32] Michio
    I see.
[10:33] Michio
    That card displays a person's social status.
[10:39] Michio
    Did you say slave?
[10:40] Somara
    Yes. In this village, those who
    steal are sold off as slaves.
[10:46] Somara
    Half the profit from the sale
    is given to their victim.
[10:51] Michio
    What about the remaining half?
[10:52] Somara
    It's given to their family,
    who has lost a worker.
[10:56] Michio
    I see.
[10:57] Michio
    He was hoping I'd go easy on
    him so this wouldn't happen.
[11:02] Michio
    Then he should've said so!
[11:04] Michio
    It's a tough world.
[11:06] Michio
    They've got slaves here, huh?
[11:08] Somara
    Ah, I nearly forgot.
[11:11] Somara
    These are the bandits' Intelligence Cards.
[11:15] Michio
    Oh.
[11:16] Somara
    If any of them had a price on their heads,
[11:19] Somara
    those are yours, as well.
[11:22] Michio
    In other words, bounties, huh?
[11:25] Somara
    There is a knight's station
    in the town of Vale.
[11:28] Somara
    You can redeem your bounties there.
[11:31] Michio
    Vale?
[11:32] Somara
    It's the biggest town around here.
[11:35] Somara
    Market day is tomorrow.
[11:38] Somara
    It'd be the perfect place
    to sell your spoils.
[11:43] Michio
    I see. I could sell all this stuff.
[11:45] Somara
    If necessary, I'll prepare
    a carriage for you.
[11:48] Somara
    Will you be departing tomorrow morning?
[11:51] Michio
    Yes, please.
SIGN    The Next Morning

[11:56] Michio
    They ended up providing me
    with everything I needed.
[12:00] Michio
    They not only fed me,
    but paid me a reward, too.
[12:03] Michio
    I feel sorry for the village
    chief and that man,
[12:06] Michio
    but this was pretty good for my first job.
[12:08] Somara

[12:12] Somara
    That is the town of Vale.

    You'll be paid accordingly, but first...
[12:47] Michio
    Huh?
[12:48] Somara
    Mr. Michio, they'd like to

    That's just how knights are.
[13:33] Michio
    I feel like the town's
    atmosphere has changed.
[13:36] Somara
    Mr. Michio, try not to look around too much.
[13:40] Somara
    There are some unsafe areas around here.
[13:43] Somara
    There are brothels, as well,
    but I wouldn't recommend going inside them.
[13:48] Michio
    Brothels?

    You haven't heard?
[14:31] Alan
    Two days ago, a labyrinth was
    discovered near the town.
[14:35] Michio
    They even have labyrinths here, huh?
[14:38] Alan
    So, I was told you had a slave to sell.
[14:45] Alan
    I understand the situation.
[14:47] Alan
    Anyway, I'm impressed you defeated
    most of the bandits yourself.
[14:52] Michio
    You're giving me too much credit.
[14:54] Michio
    They were just weak.
[14:56] Alan
    Oh?
[14:58] Somara
    Anyway, about the price...
[15:01] Alan
    He's healthy and in his prime.
[15:03] Alan
    I believe the market price is 30,000 nars.
[15:13] Michio
    This is the village's share.
[15:15] Somara
    Looks good. Take care, Mr. Michio.
[15:20] Michio
    You, too. Thanks for everything.
[15:34] Michio
    Now there's nobody who knows who I am.

    I don't know the language they speak.
[15:44] Michio
    I don't know what's common knowledge here.
[15:47] Michio
    I'm in a different world,
    and I'm still an outsider.
[15:54] Michio
    Will I be able to make it all on my own?

    Mr. Michio.
[16:00] Michio
    Come to think of it, there is one person.

    What is it?

    If you're not in a hurry,
    may I have some more of your time?
[16:09] Michio
    That's fine.
[16:13] Michio
    We're in a different room this time.
[16:16] Michio
    The rug and furniture look expensive.
[16:19] Michio
    There are even paintings on the walls.

[16:23] Alan
    Forgive me, but you're an
    adventurer, aren't you?
[16:29] Michio
    Yeah, something like that.
[16:32] Alan
    In that case, why not purchase some slaves?
[16:36] Michio
    What? Slaves?
[16:39] Michio
    Do adventurers buy slaves?
[16:42] Alan
    Many do.
[16:45] Michio
    Buy a slave?
[16:47] Michio
    I did just sell one.
[16:49] Michio
    It makes sense that I'd be able to buy one.
[16:52] Michio

[18:10] Michio
    The tea's not bad.
[18:12] Alan
    I was talking about her, of course.
[18:14] Michio
    I knew it!
[18:16] Alan
    She's currently my most
    highly-recommended slave.
[18:24] Michio
    So she is a slave.
[18:27] Michio
    Which means I could buy her.
[18:31] Michio
    Do slaves ever betray their masters?
[18:34] Alan
    No. Without someone to inherit them,
    or a will promising them their freedom,
[18:39] Alan
    a slave that loses their master
    follows them to the grave.
[18:42] Michio
    You mean they die?
[18:45] Alan
    Yes.
[18:47] Michio
    If they can't kill their master,
    then what about running away?
[18:49] Alan
    Runaway slaves are demoted to bandits.
[18:52] Alan
    Bandits can't complain about being killed,
[18:55] Alan
    and their possessions can be stolen legally.
[18:58] Alan
    Even if they stole money from
    their master before escaping,
[19:02] Alan
    it's unlikely they'd live a better life.
[19:06] Michio
    I see.
[19:08] Alan
    Also, the girl who was here earlier
    is a wolfkin and a beast warrior.
[19:14] Alan
    She'd be useful in a labyrinth.
[19:17] Alan
    On top of that, she's intelligent
    and has good character.
[19:19] Alan
    She's perfect for someone's first slave.
[19:23] Alan
    And there's another advantage
    to her being a wolfkin.
[19:28] Michio
    What is it?
[19:30] Alan
    Humans and non-humans cannot produce offspring.
[19:34] Michio
    You mean...
[19:36] Alan
    There's one more important thing to consider.
[19:40] Alan
    She is a virgin.
[19:45] Alan
    Therefore, you needn't worry about diseases.
[19:48] Alan
    Additionally...
[19:49] Michio
    There's more?
[19:51] Alan
    She has consented to sleeping with her master.
[19:56] Alan
    I believe that would be meaningful to you.
[20:01] Michio
    Why?
[20:02] Alan
    Because some of my customers feel
    conflicted about laying hands on a slave,
[20:10] Alan
    especially the younger ones.
[20:13] Alan
    But if she accepts such a relationship...
[20:17] Alan
    What do you think?
[20:19] Michio
    I see.
[20:21] Alan
    Those are the reasons I'd
    recommend her to you.
[20:26] Alan
    Does that make sense?
[20:28] Michio
    Yeah.
[20:30] Michio
    Can I really buy Roxanne?
[20:33] Michio
    To do as I please with
    such a beautiful slave?
[20:36] Michio
    Can I even buy a slave?
[20:39] Michio
    No, that's how this world works.
[20:42] Michio
    Even I don't buy her, eventually she'll
    become someone else's sex slave.
[20:45] Michio
    And I can't allow that, which means...
[20:49] Michio
    How much?
[20:50] Alan
    600,000 nars is what I'd like to say,
[20:54] Alan
    but after recommending her so aggressively,
[20:56] Alan
    including the outfit she was just wearing,
    she's yours for 422,800 nars.
[21:04] Michio
    I can't afford that.
[21:07] Alan
    I see. Well, then it can't be helped.
[21:20] Michio
    She's so cute.
[21:24] Alan
    I can wait five days for you.
[21:26] Michio
    Huh?
[21:28] Alan
    Gather the funds you need by then.
[21:31] Michio
    But...
[21:34] Alan
    The customer has taken a liking to you.
[21:37] Roxanne
    Thank you.
[21:39] Michio
    Now I can't say no.
[21:42] Roxanne
    Excuse me...
[21:43] Michio
    Huh?
[21:45] Roxanne
    Nice to meet you.
[21:47] Michio
    Um, sure.
[21:51] Alan
    I'll see you in five days.
[21:54] Michio
    Yeah.
[21:55] Michio
    I don't know how I'll make that much money,
    but I know one thing for sure.
[22:02] Michio
    Roxanne will be mine.
