[00:00] (Flashback) Girl
    Shoot, Hoshi!
[00:01] (Flashback) Hosshi
    Aw, man...
[00:02] (Flashback) Girl
    Rebound!
[00:04] (Flashback) Teacher
    Foul!
[00:04] (Flashback) Girl
    What?!
[00:06] (Flashback) Girl
    Why?
[00:07] Hako
    I hated PE class.
[00:10] Hako
    I had the legit reason that my
    doctor told me not to participate,
[00:13] Hako
    but my grade was always a 1.
[00:17] Hako
    Simply because of the status I was born with,
[00:19] Hako
    I never scored any higher than a 1.
[00:22] Hako
    That's why I decided I needed to find
    my identity elsewhere.
[00:29] (Flashback) Hako
    I want to invent a drug that'll
    cure the disease Mom and I have.
[00:33] (Flashback) Mom
    Pharmaceutical school is a
    six-year course, right?
[00:37] (Flashback) Dad
    And we can't afford a private school.
[00:39] (Flashback) Hako
    There are always scholarships...
SIGN    Pharmaceutical Department
[00:41] (Flashback) Hako
    I'll study my hardest, I promise.
[00:44] (Flashback) Mom
    Well, you'll have to study
    much harder than you do now.
[00:47] (Flashback) Hako
    I know.
[00:48] (Flashback) Dad
    You can do it, Kusue.
[00:50] (Flashback) Hako
    Yeah.
[00:51] Hako
    But...
[01:00] Shindou
    Huh?!
[01:00] Toki
    Wha?!
[01:01] Shindou
    Wind!
[01:10] Hako
    But...
[01:12] BanditC
    Shit!
[01:13] BanditC
    Did they all get taken out?!
[01:15] BanditD
    Don't go out there!
    They won't find us in here.
[01:18] Soldier
    I found more! Kill them!
[01:30] Hako
    But... one day, out of nowhere...
[01:36] Soldier
    Hero, we've found your three friends!
[01:40] Toki
    Ugh...
[01:41] Shindou
    Gruesome...
[01:43] Hako
    The violence that had always
    been meaningless to me
[01:46] Hako
    became the most vital skill
    I needed to stay alive.
[01:52] SoldierA
    Hey! Did you look in that hut?
[01:54] SoldierA
    Don't forget to take anything worth
    selling before you burn it down!
[01:58] SoldierB
    Hey, here's a good one.
[02:00] SoldierB
    I'll be taking this.
[02:02] SoldierC
    We'll be dividing it all up later.
    Throw it on the pile.
[02:05] Hako
    The sensation of the ground
    giving out beneath my feet...
[02:09] Hako
    Forget finding my identity.
[02:15] Hako
    My basic prerequisites for
    living changed completely.
[02:20] Hako
    The prerequisite that everything
    stayed peaceful...
[02:31] Hako
    I'm...
[04:10] Kahvel
    We should let the horses rest soon.
[04:12] Kahvel
    Let's make camp nearby.
[04:14] Shindou
    Yeah. The sun's setting soon, anyway.
[04:21] Bihmsberg
    Wow, this is good.
[04:23] Maqua
    It really is.
[04:25] Yotsuya
    Aw...
[04:28] Shindou
    You still can't eat?
[04:30] Hako
    Just one bite...
[04:31] Shindou
    That was a pretty gruesome sight.
[04:34] Hako
    Yeah.
[04:37] Hako
    What happened back there is still burned
    into my retinas. It won't go away.
[04:42] Shindou
    It's not a big deal if
    you have no appetite.
[04:45] Shindou
    We don't really get hungry
    in this world, anyway.
[04:48] Hako
    I...
[04:51] Hako
    I want to protect everyone.
[04:54] Shindou
    Huh?
[04:55] Hako
    My friends... and the people of this world.
[05:00] Hako
    But I can't even protect myself.
[05:03] Hako
    All I do is hold everyone back.
[05:05] Shindou
    Kusue...
[05:08] Hako
    I don't know if I can handle this.
[05:12] Maqua
    I feel bad making the hero
    do the cooking, though.
[05:16] Yotsuya
    Oh, don't worry about it.
    Cooking is my thing.
[05:20] Toki
    He just wants the experience points.
[05:23] Yotsuya
    Now that I'm rank 10,
[05:25] Yotsuya
    I can use big pots and cooking utensils.
[05:28] Maqua
    Rank?
[05:29] Shindou
    Yotsuya-kun seems just fine.
[05:32] Hako
    Yeah...
[05:33] Hako
    It's always the same. The ones with
    the physical strength gain levels,
[05:39] Hako
    and they get access to everything.
[05:40] Kahvel
    Great Hero.
[05:42] Yotsuya
    Oh, back for seconds?
[05:44] Kahvel
    Let's begin our training now!
[05:46] Yotsuya
    Training?
[05:48] Toki
    You said before that she
    helped train you, right?
[05:52] Yotsuya
    Yeah.
[05:53] Yotsuya
    Out of 100 matches, all with handicaps,
    I only beat her three times.
[05:58] Yotsuya
    In fact, at some point,
[05:59] Yotsuya
    she switched to a real sword and started
    hacking me up within an inch of my life.
[06:03] Yotsuya
    I thought I was in Hell.
[06:05] Toki
    A-An inch of your life?
[06:08] Toki
    Come to think of it, when she rescued us...
[06:11] (Flashback) Kahvel
    I want you to let me train the
    four of you with the sword!
[06:16] (Flashback) Kahvel
    Since you're heroes,
[06:18] (Flashback) Kahvel
    I can slice you up all I want with a
    real sword, and it won't be a problem!
[06:23] (Flashback) Yotsuya
    Um...
[06:24] (Flashback) Yotsuya
    I mean, since we don't have
    any other options, sure.
[06:28] (Flashback) Kahvel
    Excellent! Now I can slice up
    flesh to my heart's content!
[06:31] (Flashback) Kahvel
    Yay! I should go tell my dad right away!
[06:36] Toki
    And she sounded so happy about it.
[06:38] Toki
    I have so many bad feelings...
[06:40] Kahvel
    Okay, let's start with you.
[06:43] Toki
    Eep! For real?!
[06:45] Kahvel
    I'll begin attacking after five seconds.
[06:48] Toki
    Okay...
[06:49] (Flashback) Kahvel
    There's nothing I love more
    than cleaving the flesh...
[06:53] (Flashback) Kahvel
    of living things!
[06:55] Yotsuya
    What's her deal, exactly?
[06:57] Yotsuya
    Her looks are on point,
    but man... talk about whiplash.
[07:04] Shindou
    Yuka-san, are you okay?
[07:07] Toki
    I couldn't be worse!
[07:08] Toki
    I know sensations of pain in this world are
    only 1/36th of what we'd feel in our world,
[07:12] Toki
    but being sliced up still hurts!
[07:16] Kahvel
    Okay, next is...
[07:23] Kahvel
    So you can't even lift a longsword?
[07:27] Kahvel
    This will take some time.
[07:30] Hako
    The modern Japan that I
    lived in was so peaceful.
[07:36] Kahvel
    What happened?!
[07:38] Bihmsberg
    We were attacked by goblins while
    gathering firewood, and Makuah was...
[07:42] Maqua
    I got too careless.
[07:44] Kahvel
    How could you be injured by goblins?
[07:46] Kahvel
    And you call yourself my subordinate?
[07:47] Maqua
    I-I'm so sorry!
[07:51] Hako
    When I came to this world,
    everything fell apart.
[08:01] Maqua
    The wound is going away...
[08:04] Shindou
    I didn't know you could use healing magic.
[08:07] Yotsuya
    I'm accelerating his cellular metabolism
[08:10] Yotsuya
    to make his wound heal itself faster.
[08:13] Yotsuya
    I can't surpass his natural regenerative
    ability, but I can do this.
[08:17] Toki
    Just like when you were a Chef, you can
    gain experience without even fighting.
[08:21] Toki
    Isn't that kinda unfair?
[08:24] Yotsuya
    Well, don't complain to me about it.
    Take it up with the system.
[08:29] Hako
    The system...
[08:31] Hako
    We can't escape this system
    we've been forced into.
[08:38] Hako
    I want to protect everyone!
[08:40] Hako
    To do that, I have to gain
    experience points...
[08:43] Hako
    and get much stronger!
[08:46] Kahvel
    You're moving much better now.
[08:54] Kahvel
    Still going to need more time before we
    start with the longsword, though...
[09:00] Hako
    I have to get more experience points...
[09:06] Maqua
    We've found a horde of goblins.
[09:09] Bihmsberg
    Shall we take a detour?
[09:10] Kahvel
    No, it'll be faster to wipe
    them all out ourselves.
[09:13] Yotsuya
    Ah, no.
[09:15] Yotsuya
    We'll handle it.
[09:18] Yotsuya
    All we've done lately is train,
[09:20] Yotsuya
    so we haven't gained any experience.
[09:23] Shindou
    That's true.
[09:24] Toki
    Yeah, as if you haven't been getting
    experience by healing people.
[09:28] Shindou
    Coming, Kusue?
[09:30] Shindou
    You don't have to if you don't want to.
[09:32] Hako
    O-Okay...
[09:34] Yotsuya
    All right! Let's get to work!
[09:41] Kahvel
    I don't think a longsword is
    necessary against mere goblins,
[09:45] Kahvel
    but I'm still concerned.
[09:49] Toki
    Fire!
[09:50] Shindou
    Wind!
[09:59] Kahvel
    Great Hero!
[10:23] Hako
    I'm sorry...
[10:27] Hako
    I'm sorry...
[10:29] Hako
    I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
[10:32] Hako
    I'm sorry!

[10:35] Yotsuya
    After all that work,
    it barely went up at all.
[10:39] Toki
    Probably because your rank's
    already higher than any of ours.
[10:43] Shindou
    Kusue, I heard you defeated a goblin.
[10:46] Toki
    Yeah... somehow...
[10:49] Shindou
    You finally did it, huh?
[10:50] Toki
    Yeah.
[10:52] Toki
    I can still feel it in my hands...
[10:56] Toki
    That squishing feeling
    of flesh giving way...
[11:03] Kahvel
    I'm truly happy that you've come
    into your own as a sword wielder!
[11:08] Kahvel
    However...
[11:10] Hako
    Yes?
[11:11] Kahvel
    I'm sad that I didn't get to slice
    any goblin flesh with my own hands.
[11:15] Shindou
    Uh...
[11:16] Hako
    So... why do you enjoy cutting
    living flesh so much?
[11:21] Kahvel
    I'm glad you asked!
[11:23] Kahvel
    There are countless great
    things about living flesh!
[11:26] Kahvel
    First, the firmness of muscle!
[11:27] Kahvel
    When the fibers of a muscle that's
    in active motion during combat
[11:31] Kahvel
    split like fraying threads
    at the end of my blade...
[11:34] Kahvel
    The sensation as it progresses from
    living to dead, from the outside in...
[11:38] Kahvel
    These are the things
[11:39] Kahvel
    that happen within the brief instant
    after I swing my sword downward!
[11:45] Kahvel
    And the way it feels on my hands when I do!
[11:48] Kahvel
    All of it is simply intoxicating!
[11:56] Kahvel
    Anyway, there might still
    be more of them here.
[11:59] Kahvel
    I'm going to patrol the area.
[12:01] Kahvel
    Bihmsberg, Makuah!
[12:02] Both
    Yes, ma'am!
[12:04] Kahvel
    I hope I get to slice some flesh!
[12:09] Yotsuya
    You know, Kahvel-san's dad told me...
[12:14] Yotsuya
    When she was little,
[12:16] Yotsuya
    she was watching her dad
    train her older brother,
[12:18] Yotsuya
    and he said that going up against
    living opponents with real swords
[12:22] Yotsuya
    provided the most experience.
[12:24] Yotsuya
    Apparently, that's what
    his words impressed upon her.
[12:28] Yotsuya
    I guess you'd say she misbrained it?
[12:30] Yotsuya
    Kids are good at that.
[12:32] Toki
    M-Misbrained...?
[12:33] Yotsuya
    "Misheard," but with your brain.
[12:35] Shindou
    What the heck?
[12:44] (Flashback) Hako
    I'm sorry...
[12:46] Hako
    But I'm going to protect everyone.
[12:51] Hako
    I'll get back home alive
[12:54] Hako
    and realize my dream.
[12:56] Hako
    So I have to
[12:59] Hako
    cut flesh, too.

[13:15] Shindou
    What happened?!
[13:16] Kahvel
    Whoa, there.
[13:18] Maqua
    Oh, man...
[13:19] Bihmsberg
    Guess we didn't see it there.
[13:22] Maqua
    I'm afraid it's stuck fast.
[13:24] Bihmsberg
    The wheel just about snapped.
[13:27] Shindou
    Everyone okay?
[13:28] Hako
    I think so...
[13:29] Toki
    That freaked me out!
[13:31] Kahvel
    Bihmsberg...
[13:32] Bihmsberg
    We'll take care of it.

    Right.

    Great Hero, we've almost got it!
[13:59] Toki
    All right! It's out!
[14:06] Maqua
    That was easier than I expected.

[14:26] Shindou
    Kahvel-san, I see something.
[14:30] Kahvel
    An army being attacked by monsters?
[14:34] Kahvel
    Which army? I see some civilians, too...
[14:37] Kahvel
    And even a child.
[14:39] Hako
    We have to help them!
[14:41] Yotsuya
    Are you serious?
[14:42] Yotsuya
    We have no idea if we even
    have time to spare.
[14:45] Yotsuya
    I'd rather make as few unnecessary
    stops as possible.
[14:51] Hako
    Then would you mind letting me off here?
[14:55] Hako
    I'll go alone if I have to.
[14:57] Toki
    What?!
[14:58] Shindou
    Hang on, Kusue! Think this through!
[15:01] Yotsuya
    Weren't we going to make
    it back home alive?
[15:05] Yotsuya
    If completing the quest is
    required for that, we can't—
[15:07] Hako
    I'm sorry.
[15:08] Hako
    But remember what I said before?
[15:11] Yotsuya
    What?
[15:12] Hako
    That saving someone's life isn't all
    there is to "saving" them.
[15:16] Yotsuya
    Uh, right...
[15:17] Hako
    And you know...
[15:21] Hako
    if I abandoned a child...
[15:23] Hako
    there'd be no point anymore.
[15:26] Hako
    So...
[15:28] Hako
    I just can't.
[15:30] Yotsuya
    Wait, what?
[15:31] Yotsuya
    "If I don't save the kid, there's no
    point in living the rest of my life"?
[15:36] Yotsuya
    Damn, just how badass are you?
[15:41] Yotsuya
    Although, you know,
[15:42] Yotsuya
    this could be some kind of event.
[15:45] Shindou
    Event?
[15:47] Shindou
    Like, Game Master's watching to
    see if we save them or not?
[15:51] Yotsuya
    As an example... those guys could
    be on their way to Radodorbo.
[15:55] Shindou
    Ah...
[15:57] Yotsuya
    Okay, on that note,
    let's split into two groups.
[16:00] Yotsuya
    I'll head out there with Hakozaki-san.
[16:03] Yotsuya
    The rest of you can go on ahead.
[16:05] Shindou
    What? We're splitting up?
[16:07] Yotsuya
    We'll get it done and catch
    up as fast as we can.
[16:10] Yotsuya
    You okay with that?
[16:12] Hoko
    Yeah.
[16:19] Yotsuya
    They're nearly wiped out already, though!
[16:28] Yotsuya
    Wh-What?!
[16:29] Yotsuya
    They all turned toward us!

    Another consequence of being heroes?!

[19:17] Both
    Great Hero!
[19:30] Kahvel
    What lovely flesh.
[19:42] Bihmsberg
    What's their deal?
[19:43] Maqua
    I guess they're just shy.
[19:45] Yotsuya
    So the surviving soldiers and civilians
    total... three, four... six?
[19:50] Toki
    There are still some with injuries.
    Can you help them all?
[19:54] Yotsuya
    Yeah, I think so.
[19:55] Yotsuya
    I absorbed some magic from the
    monsters' blood to replenish my MP.
[20:00] Hako
    You can do that?
[20:02] Yotsuya
    That berserker at the bandits' hideout
[20:05] Yotsuya
    apparently got that way by eating
    too much flesh imbued with magic.
[20:09] Yotsuya
    So I figured it should be
    possible to absorb it, too.
[20:13] Shindou
    You should've brought this up sooner!
[20:15] Yotsuya
    Well, this was my first time trying it.
[20:19] Kamilto
    Great Hero...
[20:20] Kamilto
    Thank you so much for everything.
[20:24] Yotsuya
    Sure.
[20:25] Yotsuya
    So what is this group you're with,
    and where are you headed?
[20:28] Kamilto
    We are soldiers of the Kingdom of Deokk.
[20:30] Kamilto
    On the king's orders, we are transporting
    these heretics to Radodorbo.
[20:36] Yotsuya
    Huh?

SIGN    (Time limit: 40 days)
[20:40] Kamilto
    These heinous criminals violated our ban
    on the foreign religion known as Arteros.
[20:45] Kamilto
    Since it is believed that Radodorbo is home to
    the greatest number of secret Arteros devotees,
[20:51] Kamilto
    we are going to publicly execute
    them atop a hill there.
[20:54] Toki
    Radodorbo! It actually came up!
[20:57] Yotsuya
    We still don't know what the "goods" are.
[21:00] Shindou
    Humans? Death row convicts?
[21:03] Hako
    Heretics... A child? What's going on?
[21:08] Yotsuya
    Are these people the "goods"?
[21:10] Yotsuya
    But if we take them there,
    they're gonna be killed, including the kid.
[21:16] GM

[21:21] Yotsuya
    But it's okay if people die
    as a result of our actions?
[21:25] Yotsuya
    Is this event part of the quest?
[21:28] Yotsuya
    Or do we fail if we help them?
[21:31] Yotsuya
    Which...
[21:33] Yotsuya
    is it?!
