01x02 - This City I Hate So Much

[bunniefuu]

What?

Yotsuya, you haven't turned in

your preference form, have you?

Well

Our teacher preached at you, didn't he?

What about you, Shindo?

I haven't decided on a career.

As for high school, I wrote down

Morokoshi Science Vocational High School.

So did Kusue.

I see.

Kusue has everything planned, right?

I want to study in the department

of pharmacy in university.

In the future,

I want to do pharmaceutical research.

This is so embarrassing.

Not at all.

You can do it, Kusue.

Can I?

Yes. Just go for it!

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

Okay, let's go find a goblin.

Please eliminate it and save the village!

At my current level

Run! You're no match of it.

At my current level,

I not only can't eliminate it

but I'll also be devoured like Shindo.

I must defeat some minor monsters

to get upgraded.

Log dot.

Say,

if next week, the newbie is a boy,

who would you want it to be, Kusue?

Yamada.

Oh, the one who competed in

the national Judo competition.

That's not what I meant.

I meant the boy that you like.

I hate boys.

Why?

They're all childish and violent.

And they tell dirty jokes.

I don't like that.

Such a baby.

You're also just a kid.

As for me

I'd say Yotsuya.

No, wait.

Right, there are two Yotsuya

in the same grade.

Which one?

Well

That one.

I didn't hear it!

Which one was it?

Anyway, it's one or the other.

Moreover, it's two girls

and one boy at the moment.

They might profess their love to me.

Great!

I have to do my best.

A forest with a view of the village.

How nostalgic.

Speaking of the devil.

HEADQUARTERS

Whenever I think of it,

my mind darkens with rage.

I'm Yotsuya Yusuke from Kumamoto.

I missed one! Darn it!

Calm down. I got too worked up.

Level nine.

YOTSUYA YUSUKE, FARMER LEVEL 9

KNOWLEDGE OF EDIBLE PLANTS

I'm almost level ten now.

I would have been upgraded

if I hadn't missed that one.

By the way, is there a feature

to change my occupation?

Will I have to stay like this?

No way.

There were so many occupations.

There must be something else.

Anyway, I'd like to have a knife, a knife!

The only person that can use the sword

is Hakozaki. That's completely pointless.

HAKOZAKI KUSUE, WARRIOR (SWORD) LEVEL 1

Doesn't she hate boys?

I wish I could be a warrior.

HAKOZAKI KUSUE

DEAD, TIME UNTIL REVIVAL

Hakozaki died?

What did she do?

Isn't she in the village?

I remember the quest was

COMPLETE VILLAGE CHIEF'S TASK

Did we fail the quest?

What happens if we fail?

Are we going to die?

Anyway, I must rush to the village.

TIME UNTIL REVIVAL

She didn't revive.

No way! Hakozaki was also devoured?

In other words,

if I die, we die for real.

Where are the villagers?

Hello?

A log dot.

Please, give me some information.

Why are you working so hard

to swing the sword?

I'm so sickly in the real world

that I can't do exercise too hard.

So, I'm swinging something

this heavy for the first time.

The real world?

To avoid relapse, I have to

take very expensive drugs every month.

My parents had wanted to

have another child.

Here in this world,

I won't have to worry about getting ill.

I might even grow stronger.

However, I've been a burden.

I've been nothing but a burden to others

since I was born.

And that was the only way

I could survive.

So, while I'm healthy,

I want to help everyone.

What was I saying? Sorry.

I suddenly said such nonsense.

Anyway, I'll do my best.

If anything happens,

I'll protect everyone!

I

Haven't I only cared about myself

since I arrived in this world?

The Troll!

Run! I'll buy us some time!

No, it's not just that.

It isn't since I arrived in this world.

I've been always like this.

Please leave the village!

Wait!

"Shield."

Save me

Save me

Yotsuya.

I

What do I do now? Fight

No, I must run.

I can't die yet!

I'm going to die!

RULES OF REVIVAL

REVIVAL OCCURS AFTER A SPECIFIC DURATION

ALL DAMAGES WILL BE UNDONE

WITHIN HALF OF THE DURATION

IF REVIVAL IS FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE DEATH,

BEING IN THE SEA, REVIVAL COUNTDOWN STOPS

After we graduate from high school,

we'll come here again

to dig out the time capsule.

Sure!

We must come back here.

Yes. We're all looking forward to it.

After graduating from high school

In the future,

I want to do pharmaceutical research.

I wasn't interested at all.

I didn't pay any attention.

I've been nothing but a burden to others

since I was born.

That was the only way

that I could survive so

Up until that moment

What?

The dream of a sickly child

who's caused her parents so much trouble

is to do pharmaceutical research.

How stereotypical! How heart-warming.

Damn it.

Are you even better than me?

How can I let this person

die in the Other World?

Okay, I'll do everything I can!

I'll never let anyone better than me die.

Not then

Not ever!

It only hops like a frog at full speed?

If so, I can duck by changing

my direction when it hops.

I can shake it off if I keep going!

As long as I keep going!

If I just keep running away,

it's just as pointless!

I have to launch an attack somehow.

Oh no!

Upgrade!

It stopped.

Congratulations! You've reached level ten.

Awesome! I made it!

Game master, why is your voice different?

It's time to change occupations.

Spin the occupation roulette.

That's too fast!

At least let me savor the moment!

Never mind.

Anyway, I want a knife. Warrior.

Give me knives!

A cook.

UPGRADE BONUS ADDED UP SEQUENTIALLY

BY THE PARAMETER (ORIGINAL SKILL -100)÷2

KNOWLEDGE OF MONSTERS' (LEVEL C AND BELOW)

ANATOMY AND CULINARY METHODS

KNOWLEDGE EDIBLE PLANTS

In total, you have these skills.

So lame.

No, hold on.

FRUIT KNIFE, CHEF'S KNIFE

I have a knife!

What's this?

KNOWLEDGE OF MONSTERS' (LEVEL C AND BELOW)

ANATOMY AND CULINARY METHODS

It's the cook's skills?

Well, the game will now resume.

Bye.

Your stomach, it should be here!

It's too hard!

I must cut through to the stomach!

How's that?

Yes, it works.

I did it!

Thank goodness.

Even if we revive,

we'd die immediately in the stomach.

It was a dead end.

Yotsuya, you saved us.

Yes.

Sort of.

By the way, Yotsuya, your outfit changed?

My occupation is now a cook.

A cook?

Whatever. I now know its attack pattern.

Come here!

That's it!

We can dodge it by changing the direction

as soon as it hops.

No, that's too energy-consuming.

Even if we can dodge it,

I doubt we can do it more than twice.

No, not necessarily.

The monster is exhausted.

Is it because of the bleeding?

That thing has been jumping around

for almost 20 meters now.

Let's do this, Kusue.

Yes.

That's so tough, its muscle is tough.

Even if we figured that out

Okay!

Attacking with enough force

to break down the troll's defense

Revived!

It was impossible.

We're not dying that often now.

It's because we got used to its movement.

Even so, if we don't defeat it,

sooner or later, we'll

Wind magic can only manipulate the air.

At my level, this is all I can do.

Shindo.

I'll enter from its wound

and attack from inside.

Shindo, you'll

Okay. Understood.

The main attacking range is

between the elbow and the finger tips.

Well then, with all my determination,

jump right in there!

Here I go!

I can immobilize it.

Shindo, you'll

Inside that troll's body

"Wind"

Blow in air.

We did it!

Iu, that's impressive!

Congratulations!

You scared me!

You have cleared the stage.

Oh, have we?

By the way,

why do you always appear from behind?

Amazing, we're upgraded.

HAKOZAKI KUSUE, LEVEL ONE TO FOUR

SHINDO IU, LEVEL THREE TO FIVE

The magician is barely upgraded.

The farmer and cook upgrade so fast.

YOTSUYA YUSUKE, LEVEL ONE TO FIVE

It's true.

Well, the cook, Yotsuya Yusuke,

as the reward of clearing the stage,

you may ask a question.

I told you, everything happens too fast.

Let me savor the moment.

Let me think what should I ask?

The first week, I asked "Why me?"

Someone we know picked us.

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

This dude is from the future.

And so is the commissioner?

What's his purpose?

What do these folks from

the future want from us?

In ten weeks,

or after we've cleared ten stages,

what are we going to do?

What?

Very well, please watch a recording

of what's happening in our world.

Is this our city?

Okay! Next is the last summoned monster!

Split up!

Go get it!

What was that?

What was that?

We we're back.

We

Are we going to fight against

that monster?

Whatever. I'm going to my club.

Look at the time.

The time has stopped the moment we left.

No, at such a time

There should be a few weeks of time

before the fourth week starts.

I'll be alive for the grand event.

The efforts I've made in

the past two years won't be in vain.

Thank you so much!

True, now that she's in the third year,

she'll have to retire soon.

I'm off.

Yotsuya, don't forget to walk Kusue home.

My heart is still beating so fast.

We were in that world for more than a day

but here, the time hasn't changed at all.

What's more, we need to

clear seven more stages.

Otherwise, we'll die.

Well Thank you.

We would have been dead

if it weren't for Yotsuya.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever

walked home with a girl alone before.

After all, we're in this together.

Isn't it rare to hear people say

"I'll protect you" these days?

I don't know.

I don't like that.

I'm rebellious.

I don't like the mainstream.

Gosh, I sound redundant.

Anyway, if we get more people to survive

in that world,

it will do us all some good.

I think it suits me well.

I see.

What a load of nonsense.

Suddenly, I realize that

if I give up on the quests,

the city that I hate the most,

might be destroyed.

SIDE QUEST TWO EXPLORING THE REAL YOTSUYA

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOTSUYA?

Yotsuya?

He's quite cute.

I think he's a trustworthy person.

He's a nice guy.

People like him would be the protagonist.

PEOPLE LIKE HIM WOULD BE THE PROTAGONIST.

Yotsuya? Do you mean?

CUTE, GOOD GUY, TRUSTWORTHY YOTSUYA.

Oh, that one.

I don't know,

I've never really talked to him.
