01x01 - Unqualified Heroes

[bunniefuu]

I like to be alone.

I hate that city.

I hate the people in that city even more.

Even though my life is in danger,

This place is more exciting

than that dump, Tokyo.

I'M STANDING ON A MILLION LIVES

The strange routine in front of me

Stepping out of common sense

Cutting off the comforting link

to look for the true light

My back is against the wall,

I can't give in

(Be tough, don't cry, keep going)

The reality is a matter of life or death

The enthusiasm within my heart

(surviving in despair)

Entering the spiritual world (fearless, striving)

We were born with loneliness

Walk side by side,

and be vulnerable no more

Even in the face of life's uncertainty

The fire of life will never die

With courage in my hand, I stand strong

Fight for tomorrow

SWIPE THE CARD

PE class in the first period,

what the hell?

So demotivating.

Last night, during Miko's live streaming,

I fell asleep half way through.

Are you serious? That's bad.

Nomura Yuuta.

Present.

Hakozaki Kusue.

She called in sick.

Hakozaki is always absent.

She seems sickly. She's called in sick

for all the PE classes.

Have you heard?

Nakada from Class One

confessed his feelings to Shindo!

Really?

That's outrageous!

Unforgivable.

Turn in the preference form by tomorrow

if you haven't done it.

Let's go for karaoke.

Look! It's this one.

It's Shindo.

She was scouted to be

an amateur model for Little Lemon.

Go, Shindo!

So the rumor is true.

Pretty and smart.

She's practically perfect.

It's okay.

ARE YOU OKAY?

There are certain concerns

doing live streaming outdoors.

HE REALLY HAD THE GUTS.

Yes! Attack! Attack!

Yes!

That was close.

ON DUTY, YOTSUYA YUSUKE

Shindo!

Yes, I'll be right there.

This is it?

That's impressive, Shindo.

After all, she's gorgeous.

Our worlds are miles apart.

I can't relate to it.

So, today is the day?

Yes.

I'm so nervous.

Me, too.

The girl who is exempt from PE classes.

These two actually know

each other that well?

What was that?

You're the only one left to hand in

the preference form, Yotsuya.

You run fast.

You might get into that high school

if you join the track and field team.

Those two again.

On the other hand,

this combination is quite unusual.

There's really nothing you want to do?

I only want to go home soon

to play video games.

I've thought long and hard

but nothing comes to mind.

I'm not interested in

this area's schools either.

You never say what you really think.

If there's no friend you can confide in,

high school can be quite challenging.

Busted.

Our homeroom teacher is really sharp.

Well

I'll just fill in a regular high school.

Anyway, remember to hand it in tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

I'd better rush home to play video games.

I'll lock the door. I'm on duty today.

What?

When did they leave?

What was that?

What's the heck is this?

What is this?

Yotsuya.

Awesome. There's finally a boy.

Shindo.

And

I'm Hakozaki.

What's this? What? What the heck?

Listen, next, a creep with only

half a face will show up.

Don't panic, listen carefully.

Nice to meet. Morning.

I'm the game master.

My pleasure.

Where's the head? His head? Head

I'll now explain the rules.

Commands will be given to you, newbie.

You must clear the stage with everybody.

No. What the heck? Wait.

Just listen to him, Yotsuya.

This is your quest.

QUEST: COMPLETE VILLAGE CHIEF'S TASK

(TIME LIMIT: 14 DAYS)

Complete village chief's task.

Time limit: 14 days.

Don't keep going ahead with it!

Listen to him first.

Monsters in this world

will swarm over to slaughter you.

Wait!

I've already told you.

But

Just listen up!

What? It doesn't hurt.

Eight weeks until completion.

QUESTS: k*ll A GOBLIN, DISCOVER

TWO VILLAGES, COMPLETE CHIEF'S TASK

A new person will join you

at the end of each week.

Finally,

please clear the stage as a group of ten.

Quest, clear the stage?

You can ask them about every week's

reward for clearing the stage.

Shindo Iu.

Magician (wind).

SHINDO IU, MAGICIAN (WIND)

LEVEL 3, WIND MAGIC

Hakozaki Kusue.

Warrior (sword).

HAKOZAKI KUSUE

WARRIOR (SWORD) LEVEL 1

The occupation of the third player,

Yotsuya Yusuke, is

It's the thing I see on TV all the time.

A warrior, please. Please

What? Does it matter that much?

Farmer.

See you next time.

YOTSUYA YUSUKE, FARMER LEVEL 1

KNOWLEDGE OF EDIBLE PLANTS

Well

Farmer

Isn't that really rare?

So, what's going on here?

HOE, OCCUPATION: FARMER

TOOL: OVERALL RATING 2

MATERIAL: IRON, WOOD, EFFECTS: -50 PERCEN

WHEN ATTACKING NON-VEGETAL OBJECTS

REGENERATION TIME: 5 DAYS

Shindo, were you both also

brought here out of the blue?

I was the first one.

I finished a quest on my own

and returned to the real world

but the game master re-appeared

with instructions for another quest.

There will be more quests

after we go back?

And then, Shindo said,

Hakozaki.

Would you be my friend?

What?

Let's be friends?

The game master asked me

befriend Kusue.

When I returned to this world again,

Kusue was already here.

After we returned safely,

we received an instruction

to be alone with you.

We thought, you must be the next one.

I see.

Since you were on duty

and had to stay to lock up,

we thought it would be easy.

But, our teacher came preaching at you.

This It wasn't my fault.

I was so anxious.

So was I.

It was a relief when our teacher left.

At least, I now know I'm not in a dream.

What weapons do you have?

Weapons?

Squint your eyes.

HOE, SICKLE

Try touching them.

It works like a mobile phone.

All the tools that can be used as weapons

are only accessible from the menu.

Here it is.

So small!

A hoe and a sickle.

Oh, it's because I'm a farmer.

Is this some kind of an imaginary space?

Like a world of video games.

What's that?

It's a log dot.

Log dot?

Yes, sometimes it contains a recording

of what happened before.

You can watch it by touching it.

No, I can't. I can't fight at all.

It's okay.

I completed a quest by myself before.

Let's do this together, Kusue.

That's when I just arrived here.

Stop watching it!

Although Kusue said so,

I also felt lost at first and

didn't do anything all day.

Finally, I realized this is real,

so I made up my mind to do it.

Well, it'll be very helpful

that Yotsuya is here.

Anyway, we can return to where we were

once we complete the quest, right?

Return to that city.

Here it comes!

Goblins.

Goblins?

Those are textbook mini monsters.

This might seem unbelievable

but I'll have to go through with it.

My adventure starts now!

It broke!

So lame!

You're a magician and a warrior,

aren't you?

Don't just stand and watch.

"Wind!"

That's it?

Wind magic only manipulates the air.

And since I'm still a low-rank magician,

this is all I can do.

What the heck?

But, we still have the sword!

I'm I'm scared.

Hey

That's not how you use a sword!

Got it!

This won't work.

Only the person that's linked to the weapon

can pick it up.

This is just like in a video game.

Anyway,

I still have the hoe.

It broke!

No way? Will I die?

Is this me?

Hakozaki!

What should we do now?

I'm revived?

Don't worry.

We're revived after 30 seconds.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Forget it. I have an idea

if we won't really get k*lled.

Shindo.

Help me out.

"Wind!"

Yotsuya.

Okay.

We'll take his blood count

by taking him down with us.

DEAD TO REVIVED

Good job.

Yotsuya's strategy worked.

Yes, it was impressive.

Although it was a bit dumb.

Is it a compliment or a criticism?

Make up your mind.

Anyway, it's impressive

that you made it this far.

Yes, that's true.

QUEST 1: k*ll A GOBLIN

The first one and the second one

QUEST 2: DISCOVER TWO VILLAGES

Those two are labor intensive

but feasible quests.

Ten seconds left. Kusue, wake up!

It's okay as long as one of us is alive.

What happens if all of us died?

What? I didn't tell you?

If we all died here,

we'll be dead in real life.

Dead in real life?

So, all the places that we have been

will show up in this map.

Yes.

Anyway, let's check out the village

in the west tomorrow.

It's fairly close.

Hopefully, it's not a difficult quest.

BROKEN HOE, BROKEN SICKLE

It takes five days to regenerate?

What's the reward for completing quests?

He told me to ask you.

The reward is the right to ask

the game master a question.

That's stingy.

In my first week, I asked, "Why me?"

It was commissioned by someone you know.

The second week, I asked, "Who are you?"

I'm from the future.

"From the future," and "someone you know".

Anyway, I'll go keep watch.

Okay.

What should I ask?

If we all died here,

we'll be dead in real life.

Does that mean

we'll be dead in the real world?

Although I don't understand how it works,

I have to prevent it from happening.

Yotsuya!

Yotsuya, Yotsuya!

Shindo!

Yotsuya

Hakozaki, what happened?

Yotsuya!

Run! You can't defeat it!

It ate her

If I die, it's over.

30 seconds until Hakozaki revives.

Shindo!

Can she hear me?

I'll head to the village first!

The wooden stick is useless.

What's wrong with that guy?

It's not even a fair match!

Your left hand didn't regenerate.

Well, I think it's because it was eaten.

Does that mean that Shindo won't revive?

Really?

If we both die, it's over?

My attack level is zero.

YOTSUYA YUSUKE, FARMER LEVEL 4

KNOWLEDGE OF EDIBLE PLANTS

Hakozaki's existence is pointless.

HAKOZAKI KUSUE

WARRIOR (SWORD) LEVEL 1

The only thing we can do

is to ignore that troll

and complete the third quest

without Shindo.

The warriors are here!

Warriors

That seems to be

how people in this world call us.

That's so tacky.

It's the warriors.

Warriors.

My name is Sikas.

Nice to meet you.

The warriors are so cool.

I'm actually a farmer.

I want to be strong like you.

One of my teammates was even devoured.

I'm the village chief.

Nice to meet you.

Excuse me, what is the task?

The thing is that,

there's a troll outside the village.

No way, is he talking about that fellow?

This is how it looks like.

Please eliminate it and save the village!

Checkmate.

Just asking, you've never defeated

a goblin either, have you?

Well, no.

I've never struck with the sword.

You clearly threw it out.

Iu was devoured by the troll.

It's unlikely that she can be revived.

We must save Iu.

What a loser.

Why isn't Shindo the one who survived?

Yotsuya?

Hakozaki, just stay in the village.

I'll try and level up. See you.

Wait up.

But I also want to save Iu.

Sorry.

Hakozaki, if you die as well,

I'd be in a tight spot.

Yes, go!

Don't you dare escape!

Die!

Awesome!

Even though my life is in danger,

this place is more exciting

than that dump, Tokyo.

Please eliminate it and save the village.

Next up, Yotsuya Yusuke.

It's dubbing the village chief again?

This game is too lame.

YOTSUYA'S DUBBING CHALLENGE

Hakozaki.

Gross. Out.
