**[00:22] Yotsuya**
Even knowing I can come back
to life, that's scary...
**[00:29] Yotsuya**
There.
**[00:48] Yotsuya**
How many times have I fallen now?
**[01:18] Yotsuya**
I don't need my eyes anymore, anyway.
**[01:20] Yotsuya**
I can focus better this way.
**[01:25] (Flashback) Teacher**
This is Yotsuya Yuusuke-kun,
our new student.
**[01:28] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
I-I just moved here from Kumamoto.
**[01:31] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
M-My name's Y-Yotsuya Y-Yuusuke.
**[01:53] (Flashback) Teacher**
Time to pick your groups
for the field trip.
**[01:56] (Flashback) Teacher**
Divide up into groups of six friends each.
**[02:00] (Flashback) Teacher**
C'mon, someone take Yotsuya in.
**[02:03] (Flashback) Teacher**
Hey, you guys only have five.
**[02:04] (Flashback) Guy**
Aw, man!
**[02:06] (Flashback) Girl**
Seriously?
**[02:17] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
I'm going to go raise my rank.
**[02:19] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Later.
**[02:56] Yotsuya**
I bet you designed this to
be unclimbable, didn't you?
**[03:00] Yotsuya**
But I just climbed it, Master!
**[04:43] Yotsuya**
Damn it. This map only gives
me the top-down view.
**[04:53] Yotsuya**
Light? Is that a log point?
**[05:04] Kahvel**
You served my family well for these
ten years and three months.
**[05:13] Kahvel**
Warrior Bihmsberg...
**[05:16] Kahvel**
I will send those three soldiers from Deokk
**[05:20] Kahvel**
to join you within the coming
days, so you can cut them apart.
**[05:26] Kahvel**
Make no mistake about that!
**[05:34] Yotsuya**
He's here...
**[05:38] (Flashback) Bihmsberg**
Wow, this is good.
**[05:40] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Aw...
**[05:40] Yotsuya**
Bihmsberg-san...
**[05:42] (Flashback) Bihmsberg**
One...
**[05:43] (Flashback) Both**
Two, and...
**[05:44] (Flashback) Three**
Three!
**[05:51] Yotsuya**
* This happened because I*
* joined up with Kahvel-san.*
**[06:03] Yotsuya**
*But now...*
**[06:06] (Flashback) Bihmsberg**
This is the second time I've
pushed a carriage with you.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Yeah, I guess so.
**[06:11] Yotsuya**
* I didn't know him long,*
* but he was my comrade in arms.*
**[06:11] (Flashback) Bihmsberg**
It won't be much longer. Let's keep it up!
**[06:14] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Right!
**[06:18] Yotsuya**
*Comrade in arms...*
**[06:23] Yotsuya**
* I didn't even get to see*
* his face as he died.*
**[06:33] Yotsuya**
Thank you for everything.
**[06:35] Yotsuya**
*I guess I'm just always going to be...*
**[06:38] Yotsuya**
Goodbye.
**[06:48] Yotsuya**
*...a stranger to everyone.*
**[07:16] Shindou**
God, these vampire bats are
getting on my nerves!
**[07:26] Kahvel**
Bear with it!
**[07:38] Kahvel**
I'll take pleasure in cutting you up.
**[07:40] Shindou**
Look! On his arm!
**[07:44] Kahvel**
I see. So we have to get the key...
**[07:48] Kahvel**
if we want to get out of here!
**[07:55] Kahvel**
Out of the four of you...
**[07:58] Kahvel**
you definitely have the most talent.
**[08:00] Shindou**
Thanks! Until just recently,
I spent two years playing a sport
**[08:05] Shindou**
where I hit really small
targets with a stick!
**[08:07] Kahvel**
Why did you stop?
**[08:10] Kahvel**
You should continue playing that sport!
**[08:16] (Flashback) Coach**
I really thought you could
make the top eight.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Coach**
Out after the first round...
**[08:22] (Flashback) Coach**
Too bad. Were you nervous because
it's your last tournament?
**[08:25] (Flashback) Shindou**
No...
**[08:26] Shindou**
* My weakness as a Wizard is*
* my low physical strength.*
**[08:30] Shindou**
* The stats of this world carried*
* over into the real world.*
**[08:36] Shindou**
*All because of that half-faced freak...*
**[08:39] (Flashback) Shindou**
I'm so disappointed...
**[08:42] Shindou**
I will. You can bet on it.
**[08:45] Shindou**
In high school—
**[09:04] Toki**
Kahvel-san!
**[09:07] Shindou**
*No way...*
**[09:10] Shindou**
*Kahvel-san is dead?*
**[09:14] Shindou**
What?! Wait, no, no, no!
**[09:16] Shindou**
I can't handle him!
**[09:37] Shindou**
He stopped?
**[09:41] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
When you reach rank 10,
**[09:44] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
time stops for everyone but you
and the Master, and then...
**[09:47] Shindou**
Rank 10... I'm changing jobs?
**[09:50] GM**
Congratula.
**[09:52] GM**
Your job rank has reached 10.
**[09:54] GM**
It's time to spin the
wheel for the job roul.
**[09:57] GM**
You were a wizard—
**[09:58] Shindou**
You're too late!
**[09:59] Shindou**
A few seconds... A few seconds earlier,
and I could've saved Kahvel-san!
**[10:03] GM**
Now...
**[10:07] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Until he hits the play button
and time starts moving again...
**[10:11] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
It's only for a few seconds...
**[10:13] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
But if there's an enemy near you...
**[10:18] GM**
Bam!
**[10:20] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
...you have a chance...
**[10:22] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
to jump into close range!
**[10:24] GM**
Shindou Iu, Warrior (Sword).
**[10:27] Shindou**
Die!
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 258 0 l 258 200 l 0 200
***SIGN***
***SIGN*** ►Occurs simultaneously with a job change.
►If any stats from the previous job are above
100%, half of the difference between the stat
and 100% is added to the new stat.
►Wizards have lower stats, making them
somewhat weaker after changing jobs, but they
can still use their magic spells in the new job.
**[10:38] Shindou**
*It's so hard!*
**[11:15] Shindou**
Oh, my left arm's healed!
**[11:21] Shindou**
Damn these bats!
**[11:23] Shindou**
My hat, my hat...
***SIGN*** Wizard Clothes (Top)
***SIGN*** Wizard Hat
***SIGN*** Wizard Staff (Wind)
**[11:25] Shindou**
And my shield.
**[11:30] Shindou**
*Huh?*
**[11:31] Shindou**
*Did Kahvel-san give him that wound?*
**[11:34] Shindou**
*My sword didn't even leave a mark.*
**[11:38] (Flashback) Kahvel**
Which means cutting locations that will
cause instant death or a fatal wound.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Kahvel**
Do you know where those are?
**[11:44] (Flashback) Shindou**
Uh... the neck?
**[11:47] (Flashback) Kahvel**
You're partially right.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Kahvel**
But the neck is usually protected by armor.
**[11:52] (Flashback) Kahvel**
Your best bet is always...
**[11:54] (Flashback) Kahvel**
the heart.
**[11:55] (Flashback) Shindou**
Huh? But...
**[11:57] (Flashback) Kahvel**
Yes, the chest appears to be protected
by both armor and bones,
**[12:00] (Flashback) Kahvel**
but so long as they aren't
in full plate armor,
**[12:02] (Flashback) Kahvel**
there are usually seams
between armor pieces.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Kahvel**
From above, you would enter here...
**[12:08] (Flashback) Kahvel**
and from below, you would enter here.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Kahvel**
The only way to make up the difference
in strength between men and women
**[12:15] (Flashback) Kahvel**
is with techniques like these...
**[12:17] (Flashback) Kahvel**
With sword art.
**[12:19] Shindou**
*Right... His ribs are there.*
**[12:22] Shindou**
* And if his heart is in the*
* same place as a human's...*
**[12:26] Shindou**
*It's worth a try!*
**[12:35] Shindou**
Ow!
**[13:02] Yotsuya**
* I think it's getting a*
* little brighter in here.*
**[13:07] Yotsuya**
*I'm almost there!*
**[13:09] Yotsuya**
* I consider all life to*
* be not equal, but fair.*
***SIGN*** Hideout
**[13:14] (Flashback) Kid D**
A bear!
**[13:31] Yotsuya**
* That means the value of each life*
* can be expressed as a score,*
**[13:34] Yotsuya**
*making it possible to rank them.*
**[13:37] Yotsuya**
*Why was I born?*
**[13:39] Yotsuya**
*Why was I chosen to be a player?*
**[13:42] Yotsuya**
*Why am I...*
**[13:46] Yotsuya**
*Who are you?*
**[13:50] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Shindou-san's amazing.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Shindou**
So I learned that my friends
are my strength.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Shindou**
And that I'm responsible for
changing my own world...
**[13:59] Yotsuya**
*Who are you?*
**[14:01] (Flashback) Hako**
I want to help everyone now,
while I'm healthy...
**[14:05] (Flashback) Hako**
And you know...
**[14:08] (Flashback) Hako**
if I abandoned a child...
**[14:10] (Flashback) Hako**
there'd be no point anymore.
**[14:13] Yotsuya**
*And you...*
**[14:26] Yotsuya**
*Who are you?*
**[14:31] Yotsuya**
* What's my reason for existing?*
* The reason I was chosen as a player?*
**[14:36] Yotsuya**
*Our current party lineup...*
**[14:38] Yotsuya**
* The job roulette results seem*
* like they're being manipulated.*
**[14:44] Yotsuya**
* One thing I could consider*
* as a possible answer...*
**[14:48] Yotsuya**
*is that I'm in the role of the leader.*
**[14:51] Yotsuya**
*I'll do my part.*
**[14:53] Yotsuya**
*I have to.*
**[14:55] Yotsuya**
* At the very least, given our*
* current combat abilities...*
**[15:02] Yotsuya**
*I'm the strongest of us!*
**[15:04] Hako**
Yotsuya-kun?!
**[15:06] Makuah**
Yotsuya-san!
**[15:12] Shindou**
Oh... Yotsuya-kun.
**[15:15] Shindou**
You're way late.
**[15:19] Yotsuya**
Y-Yeah... s-so I see...
**[15:24] Makuah**
Yotsuya-san!
**[15:25] Makuah**
Kahvel-san is... Kahvel-san is...
**[15:28] Makuah**
She's down there!
**[15:29] Makuah**
Can you hel—
**[15:41] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
I'm saying the safety of each one of us,
individually, is irrelevant to the quest.
**[15:46] Both**
*He'll save Kahvel-san, though.*
**[15:48] Hako**
*Oh, good! Yotsuya-kun finally gets it!*
**[16:03] Makuah**
Oh, Kahvel-san! Thank goodness!
**[16:06] Kahvel**
I'm... alive?
**[16:10] Kahvel**
Ow!
**[16:13] Kahvel**
My wound...
**[16:14] Makuah**
The hero healed it.
**[16:24] Makuah**
He consumed blood from monsters in the cave
**[16:27] Makuah**
in his determination to heal you.
**[16:30] Makuah**
He emptied those containers
healing you over and over.
**[16:36] Makuah**
As soon as he finished,
he fell dead asleep.
**[16:40] Makuah**
He's been like that ever since.
**[16:46] Kahvel**
* I didn't know heroes' eyes rolled back*
* into their heads when they slept.*
**[16:50] Kahvel**
* And he's stretched out*
* straight as an arrow.*
**[16:53] Makuah**
I'll go call the others.
**[16:55] Kahvel**
All right.
**[17:13] Shindou**
Why did you do that?
**[17:15] Kahvel**
It just... happened.
**[17:18] Kahvel**
Wait, did someone already
have a claim on him?
**[17:20] Shindou**
Oh, no, no!
**[17:21] Kahvel**
I thought not.
**[17:23] Kahvel**
He reminds me of me somehow.
**[17:26] Toki**
He does? But how...
**[17:28] Toki**
*Oh. 'Cause they're both weird.*
**[17:30] Kahvel**
The way he's struggling.
**[17:33] Kahvel**
He's trying to find out who he is,
**[17:35] Kahvel**
how much he's capable of,
**[17:37] Kahvel**
how far he has to go and what he has to do
**[17:39] Kahvel**
before he can die with the pride of
knowing his life meant something.
**[17:44] Kahvel**
In my country, we use a league
system to rank knights.
**[17:48] Kahvel**
There are 3,000 participants,
**[17:49] Kahvel**
and the top 100 can become knights.
**[17:52] Kahvel**
I ranked 70th.
**[17:53] Hako**
You were 70th out of 3,000?
**[17:55] Shindou**
That's impressive!
**[18:00] Kahvel**
My father ranked 2nd,
my older brother ranked 8th,
**[18:03] Kahvel**
and my younger brother ranked 15th.
**[18:05] Kahvel**
I'm just average, really.
**[18:08] Kahvel**
No matter how hard I try,
I can't make up the difference.
**[18:11] Hako**
Is that one of your reasons
for leading this expedition?
**[18:14] Kahvel**
Possibly, but the main reason...
**[18:17] Kahvel**
was so I could slice up flesh.
**[18:19] Three**
*She never breaks character!*
**[18:21] Kahvel**
If I have any chance of turning it around,
**[18:23] Kahvel**
it would be in a real battle.
**[18:25] Kahvel**
My father told me, "One real battle
is worth 10,000 practice swings."
**[18:30] Kahvel**
Yes, what he meant was,
"Slice up living flesh."
**[18:35] Three**
*There it is again!*
**[18:38] Kahvel**
How far have they gone ahead?
**[18:40] Makuah**
They took the long way by going over the
mountain, so we should catch up quickly.
**[18:45] Hako**
We have about seven days
and ten hours left...
**[18:48] Hako**
Can we make it?
**[18:50] Toki**
I'm not sure.
**[18:53] Shindou**
When's he going to wake up?
**[18:59] Yotsuya**
I had it all wrong!
**[19:00] Shindou**
Whoa! You scared me!
**[19:02] Hako**
What?!
**[19:03] Toki**
What just happened?
**[19:07] Shindou**
Wait, seriously, what's wrong?
**[19:10] Yotsuya**
The "goods"...
**[19:12] Yotsuya**
What do you think "the goods" are?
**[19:14] Shindou**
The goods? Like... merchandise?
**[19:17] Yotsuya**
Right. Something that you can sell,
or that people might want...
**[19:20] Yotsuya**
Things worth transporting long distances.
**[19:22] Yotsuya**
And... what do you think
"village chief" means?
**[19:27] Shindou**
Village chief? Why?
You mean the one from that other quest?
**[19:31] Shindou**
The leader of a village, right?
**[19:32] Yotsuya**
Right, the third quest was to fulfill
the village chief's request.
**[19:37] Yotsuya**
But no specific village or
person was actually named.
**[19:41] Shindou**
So what are you saying?
**[19:43] Yotsuya**
What if our third quest could've referred to
*any* request by *any* leader of *any* village?
**[19:50] Yotsuya**
Shindou-san, what was the first quest?
***SIGN*** <>
**[19:52] Shindou**
To defeat one goblin.
**[19:55] Yotsuya**
The goblins we always see
**[19:57] Yotsuya**
are a type called meri goblins that
are native to this continent,
**[20:01] Yotsuya**
but I'm betting there are other
types of goblins in this world.
**[20:05] Shindou**
Well, sure...
**[20:07] Yotsuya**
So maybe it didn't matter what
type of goblin you defeated.
**[20:11] Yotsuya**
What was second?
***SIGN*** <>
**[20:12] Hako**
To find two settlements.
**[20:15] Yotsuya**
I bet it didn't matter which
settlements you found.
**[20:19] Hako**
Well, no specific ones were named...
**[20:21] Shindou**
And we cleared it based on that assumption.
**[20:24] Hako**
Yeah.
**[20:24] Yotsuya**
There you go. What I'm saying is,
**[20:27] Yotsuya**
anything that can be classified as "goods"
**[20:29] Yotsuya**
is likely to count toward the
completion of our quest.
**[20:33] Shindou**
So?
**[20:35] Yotsuya**
That brings us back to what's
meant by "the goods."
**[20:38] Yotsuya**
If you define it that way, there's a good
chance it's not the condemned convicts.
**[20:42] Shindou**
Huh?
**[20:43] Yotsuya**
Because there's no one in Radodorbo
waiting to accept them,
**[20:46] Yotsuya**
and no advance notice of
any exchange to be made.
**[20:49] Toki**
What?! You mean we've...
**[20:51] Toki**
been on a fool's errand all this time?
**[20:55] Hako**
But...
**[20:57] Hako**
But hang on a second, Yotsuya-kun!
**[20:59] Hako**
Are you... Are you going to abandon
the three convicts this time, too?
**[21:03] Hako**
One of them is a child!
**[21:05] Hako**
Unlike us, if they die, they'll die for real!
**[21:09] Yotsuya**
Well, I mean...
**[21:11] Yotsuya**
There's still a chance the condemned
convicts could be the "goods,"
**[21:15] Yotsuya**
so it doesn't eliminate the chance that we
could fail the quest if we abandon them.
**[21:20] Yotsuya**
What should we do?
**[21:25] Yotsuya**
Okay. Let's split up.
**[21:29] Shindou**
*Wait... What is this?*
**[21:31] Toki**
* Why do I feel like I've been dumped*
* by a guy I didn't ask out?*

**[23:24] Toki**
It's a trap. Totally a trap.

There may be other traps ahead.
