**[00:00] Michio**
* If I want to acquire a large sum of*
* money, I'll have to hunt bandits.*
**[00:09] Michio**
*The question is how I'll do it.*
**[00:11] Michio**
* Depending on the circumstances, I could*
* end up facing multiple bandits at once.*
**[00:17] Michio**
* But this time, I won't be*
* attacking a distracted opponent.*
**[00:21] Michio**
*Am I strong enough to do it?*
**[00:24] Michio**
*No, I* have *to.*

* But having access to Identify*

**[02:41] Michio**
*I can tell at a glance who's a bandit.*
**[02:44] Villager A**
The bandits?
**[02:45] Villager B**
Yeah. Word is, they're being
taken out one after another.
**[02:48] Villager A**
Maybe they're getting revenge.
**[02:51] Villager A**
It's probably those guys who were
chased out of the slums to the north.
**[02:54] Michio**
*The slums?*
**[02:56] (Flashback) Somara**
Mr. Michio, try not to look around too much.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Somara**
There are some unsafe areas around here.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Somara**
There are brothels, as well,
but I wouldn't recommend going inside them.
**[03:12] Michio**
Teleport.
***SIGN*** The Slums
**[03:18] Michio**
*The air here is different.*
**[03:19] Michio**
*It smells like sewage.*
**[03:22] Michio**
* In addition to being the*
* endpoint of the sewer,*
**[03:25] Michio**
*it's also where outcasts and wretches end up.*
**[03:28] Michio**
*Identify.*

**[03:30] Michio**
*I don't see any bandits.*
**[03:32] Michio**
*Are they being cautious?*
**[03:34] Michio**
* I suppose bandits wouldn't boldly*
* walk around in broad daylight.*
**[03:39] Michio**
*This stench alone is going to make me sick.*
**[03:41] Michio**
*Teleport.*
**[03:43] Michio**
*I'll check it out again at night.*
**[03:53] Michio**
* I stopped becoming depressed even*
* after repeated uses of Teleport.*
**[03:57] Michio**
* Must be because of the levels*
* I gained fighting that battle.*
**[04:01] Michio**
* I turned that potential*
* disaster into good fortune.*
**[04:04] Michio**
* I should be able to handle some*
* bandits even if the worst happens.*
**[04:08] Michio**
Time to resume exploring.
**[04:14] Innkeeper**
Going back into the labyrinth?
**[04:15] Michio**
Yeah. Hold onto my key for me.
**[04:18] Innkeeper**
Sure thing.
**[04:19] Innkeeper**
You're working hard, aren't you?
**[04:22] Innkeeper**
You don't need a lantern?
**[04:31] Michio**
*I'm glad I borrowed this.*
**[04:33] Michio**
* It only illuminates the area right around*
* my feet, but it's better than not having it.*
**[04:38] Michio**
* This is my first time out*
* on the town at night.*
**[04:40] Michio**
*Is there anything different at night?*
**[04:42] Michio**
*Identify.*

*Still no bandits.*
**[04:49] Michio**
* I thought they'd be around*
* at night. Oh, well.*
**[04:58] Michio**
*What is that?*
***SIGN*** Red Light District
**[05:05] Michio**
* This is totally different from the*
* red light district during the day.*
**[05:10] Michio**
* The lights at night make it*
* seem so much more dazzling.*
**[05:19] Michio**
*Calm down, calm down.*
**[05:24] Michio**
*Think about it.*
**[05:26] Michio**
*I could get ripped off.*
**[05:31] Michio**
* And I can't imagine there's anyone*
* here as beautiful as Roxanne.*
**[05:37] Michio**
*Not entering a shop is the right choice.*
**[05:49] Michio**
*Identify.*
***SIGN*** Bandit
**[05:53] Michio**
*Found one.*
**[06:03] Michio**
*He's definitely heading towards the slums.*
**[06:18] Michio**
*Are there no other bandits?*
**[06:23] Michio**
*Identify.*

*If there are lookouts posted outside,*

**[06:34] Michio**
*Teleport.*
**[06:39] Lv9 Bandit**
Yeah, we've got Hugo to thank for that.
**[06:42] Michio**
*Did he just say Hugo?*
**[06:45] Michio**
* I think the bandit boss I beheaded*
* in the starting town was Hugo.*
***SIGN*** Identify

**[06:52] Michio**
* Which means he's one of the remaining*
* bandits who were chased out of town*
**[06:57] Michio**
*or an associate of Hugo.*
**[06:59] Michio**
*I need to do more research.*
***SIGN*** 2 Days to
Purchase Roxanne
**[07:04] Michio**
* I see. I'm starting to get a sense*
* of what this town's like at night.*
**[07:09] Michio**
* Perhaps because people*
* typically stay overnight,*
**[07:11] Michio**
* the businesses in the red*
* light district close early,*
**[07:13] Michio**
*starting with shops that attract customers.*
**[07:16] Michio**
*Then the bandits come out to play.*
**[07:19] Michio**
* Like guards, they either patrol the town*
* and stand at crossroads or carouse at bars.*
**[07:26] Michio**
* Even the bandits must have*
* groups and territories.*
**[07:31] Michio**
* And they avoid interacting with*
* each other to an unnatural degree.*
**[07:34] Michio**
* That guy who was standing in basically*
* the same place yesterday is one of them.*
**[07:38] Michio**
*It's not much, but this area must be his.*
**[07:43] Michio**
*Even if I hunted his group,*
**[07:46] Michio**
* the other groups would see it as someone*
* else's problem and wouldn't make a fuss.*
**[07:53] Michio**
* If individual groups avoid interacting*
* with each other, then I can make it work.*

**[08:03] Innkeeper**
Welcome back.
**[08:05] Innkeeper**
You were out late in the labyrinth.
**[08:07] Innkeeper**
Have something to eat.
It's on the house.
**[08:11] Innkeeper**
The murders?
**[08:13] Innkeeper**
Those murders, huh?
**[08:15] Innkeeper**
There's a power struggle between the bandits
who live in the slums of this town.
**[08:19] Michio**
I heard it was revenge.
**[08:22] Innkeeper**
You know about that?
**[08:25] Innkeeper**
Between you and me, that's made up.
**[08:28] Michio**
Oh?
**[08:29] Innkeeper**
A little while ago, there was a change
in leadership within a certain group.
**[08:32] Innkeeper**
There was a succession dispute and the
losing faction was run out of town.
**[08:37] Michio**
There are bandit factions?
**[08:39] Innkeeper**
The men who were killed the other day
**[08:41] Innkeeper**
were bandits who won the succession
dispute and remained in town,
**[08:45] Innkeeper**
but they're being targeted
by other groups, too.
**[08:47] Michio**
So they're making it look like
the work of the banished bandits
**[08:50] Michio**
and using this opportunity to take them down?
**[08:53] Innkeeper**
Maybe, maybe not.
**[08:55] Innkeeper**
There might be some trouble
over in the slums,
**[08:58] Innkeeper**
but this area is safe, under the
watchful gaze of the knights.
**[09:06] Michio**
* I avoided entering the bandits' hideout*
* without knowing what was going on.*
**[09:10] Michio**
* If I end up talking to the bandits,*
* then it'll be easier to work something out.*
**[09:19] Michio**
*Roxanne...*
**[09:21] Michio**
*Her branches so heavy with enormous fruit...*

*And taste them...*
**[09:40] Michio**
*They're hard?*
**[09:45] Michio**
Sho harf...
**[09:50] Michio**
*I was so nervous, I didn't get much sleep.*
**[09:53] Michio**
*But now's a good time.*
**[09:56] Michio**
*I've got my Thief's Bandanna.*
**[09:58] Michio**
*I can equip Durandal anytime, too.*

**[10:12] Michio**
You got a minute?
**[10:18] Lv9 Bandit**
Who are you?
**[10:19] Michio**
No one suspicious.
**[10:20] Michio**
*I'm definitely extremely suspicious.*
**[10:22] Michio**
I want to ask you something.
**[10:25] Lv9 Bandit**
That's...
**[10:26] Michio**
Give me the information I want,
and it's yours for one gold coin.
**[10:30] Lv9 Bandit**
One, huh?
What do you want to know about?
**[10:33] Michio**
*He's interested.*
**[10:34] Michio**
* So it's true that bandits will*
* shell out 10 to 20 thousand nars.*
**[10:39] Michio**
Tell me about Hugo.
**[10:42] Lv9 Bandit**
Apparently, our brother Hugo was killed.
**[10:46] Michio**
I see. The man's dead, huh?
**[10:49] Michio**
Could you tell me more about that?
**[10:53] Lv9 Bandit**
Wait here.
**[10:55] Michio**
Sure, got it.
**[11:03] Michio**
*His allies must be in that room.*
**[11:06] Michio**
*I'll remember that.*
**[11:08] Lv9 Bandit**
Our boss knew Hugo, too.
**[11:12] Lv9 Bandit**
He's sleeping right now, but you
should introduce yourself later.
**[11:15] Michio**
Good idea.
**[11:17] Lv9 Bandit**
The money's in my room.
**[11:18] Lv9 Bandit**
Can we talk in there?
**[11:20] Michio**
Sure.
**[11:21] Lv9 Bandit**
Come in.
**[11:25] Lv9 Bandit**
This is it.
I'll give you the money here.
**[11:34] Lv9 Bandit**
First, could I confirm that's
really a Thief's Bandanna?
**[11:39] Lv9 Bandit**
I didn't get a good look at it earlier.
**[11:41] Michio**
Sure.
**[11:49] Lv9 Bandit**
There was a succession
dispute a short while ago.
**[11:52] Lv9 Bandit**
He was supposed to take over,
**[11:55] Lv9 Bandit**
but some other factions joined
forces and drove him out of town.
**[12:00] Lv9 Bandit**
They say Hugo attacked some
village after that and failed.
**[12:06] Lv9 Bandit**
What an idiot.
**[12:08] Lv9 Bandit**
There's no point in trying to run.
**[12:11] Lv9 Bandit**
Nobody saw me bring you here.
**[12:14] Lv9 Bandit**
I don't know where you got that,
**[12:16] Lv9 Bandit**
but with a Thief's Bandanna,
I could get even more done.
**[12:20] Lv9 Bandit**
Hand it over.
**[12:21] Michio**
So this was your intention from the start.
**[12:24] Michio**
Not that I didn't know.
**[12:26] Lv9 Bandit**
Bah!
**[12:27] Lv9 Bandit**
You don't have a weapon.
What do you think you can do?
**[12:30] Michio**
Well, I'll give you this bandanna.
**[12:36] Lv9 Bandit**
What are you doing?!

* None of them are exceptionally*

*His legs are down here.*
**[13:23] Michio**
*Which means his head's up here.*
**[13:26] Michio**
*Slowly, so he doesn't wake up.*
**[13:31] Michio**
*Is his neck around here?*
**[13:37] Michio**
* Judging by all the blood,*
* I must've cut an artery.*
**[13:42] Michio**
*He's a level 38 bandit.*
**[13:44] Michio**
*I'm sure there's a decent bounty on him.*
**[13:50] Michio**
*Who's next?*
**[13:52] Michio**
* Even if something unexpected occurs,*
* worst case, I can teleport out of here.*

*This puts me at a disadvantage. Teleport.*
**[14:27] Michio**
* He'll assume I'm still inside*
* the room and call for help.*
**[14:32] Michio**
*I need to time my movements with the door's.*
**[14:35] Michio**
*I can't afford to screw this up.*
**[14:37] Michio**
*One, two...*
**[14:42] Michio**
*All right.*
**[14:48] Michio**
*His left hand is the one I'm holding.*
**[14:56] Michio**
*Did the other bandits notice?*
**[14:58] Michio**
* I don't detect any more*
* bandits inside the room.*
**[15:01] Michio**
* But it'll be difficult to retrieve*
* the female bandit's hand now.*
**[15:05] Michio**
*Three is the most I can handle.*
**[15:08] Michio**
*I can't take on any more risks.*
**[15:10] Michio**
*Teleport. To the labyrinth.*
**[15:14] Michio**
All right. I did it.
**[15:21] Michio**
I finally did the unthinkable.
**[15:27] Michio**
* No, it's probably because I'm low on*
* MP from teleporting a bunch of times.*
**[15:33] Michio**
*If I can just defeat some monsters...*
**[15:40] Michio**
*I should be at max MP by now.*
**[15:48] Michio**
*No.*
**[15:50] Michio**
* In this world, killing bandits*
* shouldn't be a big deal.*
**[15:56] Michio**
* This world is different*
* from the one I came from.*
**[15:59] Michio**
* There are no police, laws,*
* or human rights to protect us.*
**[16:05] Michio**
*This was my only option.*
**[16:12] Michio**
*The bandits won't make a fuss over this.*
**[16:15] Michio**
* If word gets out that their*
* leaders were killed,*
**[16:17] Michio**
*the other bandits might come after them next.*
**[16:21] Michio**
* More importantly, how am*
* I going to cash these in?*
**[16:25] Michio**
*I just recently claimed a bounty.*
**[16:27] Michio**
* If I bring more of these in back to back,*
* I might attract the attention of the knights.*
**[16:32] Michio**
*Should I take their cards to another town?*
**[16:34] Michio**
*No, wait. What if they question me?*
**[16:38] Michio**
* They might ask me about the circumstances*
* under which I killed the bandits.*
**[16:41] Michio**
* Wouldn't they find it suspicious that I*
* didn't bring them to my own town's knights?*
**[16:46] Michio**
*It's no use.*
**[16:48] Michio**
*My head's all screwed up.*
**[16:51] Michio**
* I don't know what will happen,*
* but one thing's for certain.*
**[16:54] Michio**
* It's looking more likely*
* that I'll acquire Roxanne.*
**[16:58] Michio**
*I did everything I could.*
**[17:01] Michio**
*I did everything.*

* I should minimize the number of people*

Hey.
**[17:40] Male Knight**
Hello.
**[17:42] Michio**
Some guys picked a fight with me last night.
**[17:45] Michio**
Apparently, they were bandits.
**[17:47] Male Knight**
Bandits?
**[17:49] Michio**
I fought back and killed them, of course.
**[17:51] Male Knight**
How unfortunate.
**[17:54] Male Knight**
May I take a look at your Intelligence Card?
**[17:57] Michio**
Sure.

All good.
**[18:12] Male Knight**
I'll go examine these.
**[18:17] Michio**
*He didn't ask any questions. Success.*
**[18:20] Michio**
*I had the same thought last time,*
**[18:22] Michio**
* but I guess that's how bandits*
* are regarded in this world.*
**[18:27] Male Knight**
I was able to confirm they
belonged to three bandits.
**[18:31] Male Knight**
Two of them had bounties on them.
**[18:35] Michio**
Thank you.
**[18:36] Michio**
*That was easier than I expected.*
**[18:42] Michio**
How many gold coins did I get?
**[18:45] Michio**
One, two...
**[18:52] Michio**
*There's more than seven in here.*
**[18:54] Michio**
* With the 33 gold coins and 228*
* silver coins I've already got,*
**[18:58] Michio**
*I can buy Roxanne.*
**[19:04] Alan**
I knew you could do it.
**[19:07] Michio**
Sorry about all the silver coins.
**[19:09] Alan**
That's not a problem.
**[19:11] Alan**
I'll be taking these.
**[19:14] Alan**
I'll bring her to you right away.
One moment, please.
**[19:24] Michio**
*He's taking a while.*
**[19:28] Alan**
Thank you for waiting.
**[19:29] Alan**
This is Roxanne, the girl you requested.
**[19:39] Roxanne**
Thank you.
**[19:43] Michio**
Nice to meet you.
**[19:45] Roxanne**
Yes, Master. However,
I must apologize to you for one thing.
**[19:51] Michio**
*What?*
**[19:52] Michio**
* Is she going to spring on me now that*
* she was working with the slave trader?*
**[19:56] Michio**
*Or that she didn't want me to buy her?*
**[20:01] Roxanne**
I believed you'd come for
me and waited for you.
**[20:06] Roxanne**
But I doubted you once.
**[20:10] Roxanne**
I thought you might not come for me.
**[20:16] Roxanne**
Please forgive me.
**[20:17] Roxanne**
Otherwise I don't deserve
to be purchased by you.
**[20:24] Michio**
* As of today, you shall*
* be known as Melos-anne.*
**[20:28] Michio**
Raise your head.
**[20:33] Michio**
It's not a problem.
Don't worry about it.
**[20:36] Roxanne**
Yes, Master.
**[20:37] Alan**
Roxanne, go to the customer.
**[20:46] Alan**
Let us establish a contract.
**[20:50] Alan**
May I see your Intelligence Cards?

Yeah.

*Then we'd be even.*
