01x06 - I'm Not So Rude as to Complain After Being Saved

[bunniefuu]

- You think you'd be

able to beat them

with your ability, Takatou?

Oh yeah, you've got

no reason to k*ll 'em.

I feel like that's

what you'd say.

So listen, Takatou

[dramatic music]

Hm, what's wrong?

- It's just, back when that

miasma was particularly bad,

actually

- Huh?

What the?!

[opening theme]

[gentle music]

[magic burbling]

- All right,

let's just hurry down.

- Yeah yeah, let's do that.

[Lynel] Hey, wait!

[Frederica] Stop

right there, Lynel.

- Hm?

Miss Frederica?

- Give me the

Apology Stone, now.

I need it to replenish my magic.

- Okay, but the Apology

Stones only work on me though.

[grunts]

- You're utterly useless!

[stone shatters]

God, that loser is always

slowing me down!

- We should probably

both head out as well.

- Uh?

[dramatic music]

- We owe our thanks to the

people who went ahead of us.

Looks like the monsters

and traps

have been taken care

of for the most part.

We just need to make

sure we don't activate

the remaining traps

on our way down.

[Lynel] Right! [screams]

- Mr. Lynel!

- I'm sorry.

I truly have the worst luck

ever experienced.

[grunts]

Ah.

- Since this happens,

why not always have

one or two in hand?

- Yeah, great idea.

I'll do one better and

attach it to myself.

[whimsical music]

Now then, let's move

forward through the tower.

- Wait a second,

something's inside.

[door clatters]

[Lynel screams]

Mr. Lynel, no!

[dramatic music]

- [Teresa chuckles]

- Lady Teresa, what's this?

- I'm not fond of that judgy,

holier-than-thou look

you're giving me, Mr. Rick.

This is how we get

points, you know?

- As a former

Knight of the Divine King,

why are you even

competing in this?

- I accidentally

k*lled too many people.

So since I've been

stripped of my lofty title,

I took the opportunity

to try again.

- Everyone get out of here now.

- [gulps] But we can't.

A thin wire's been strung

up all over the place!

- Lookie there,

you've got good eyesight.

- Don't worry,

I'll keep her at bay.

- A truly great swordmaster

would never let weak little

tr*mp like you survive!

Because at the end of the day,

a knight of the Divine Kingdom

is the strongest knight of all!

[laughs]

[Rick] If strength

were the only standard,

then you would not have lost

your title to begin with!

[Tomochika] She's strong.

Mr. Rick is also

quite the master.

- [Teresa continues laughing]

- But this Teresa,

she gets a kick out

of pulling her punches.

- Die now.

[magic whooshes]

[Teresa thunks]

- Huh?

[Tomochika shudders]

- Hey, can somebody tell me,

is this Lynel's left hand

with the stone in it?

- Oh my dear divine goddess!

Wait a sec,

is he dying somewhere?

[Lynel] Put the stone

in the hand I still have.

- I knew you were

off dying somewhere!

- Congratulations on

reaching the 98th floor.

The entirety of this floor

is a safe-zone.

We also have some sleeping

accommodations.

- I think we should go

off and do our own thing

from this point on.

We're still fighting with

others here, after all.

- I agree with you.

This trial is more rigorous

than I could have imagined.

However, are you

certain you're okay?

- Yeah, we'll be just fine.

- Same here!

If I wait 'til midnight, then

I can replenish my stones.

- Understood then.

If you're sure about it,

then I shall go on ahead.

Best of luck to you.

- And I'll do the same.

I would like to get

a room please.

- Of course, right away, sir.

- 'Kay! Bye!

[door clatters]

- You wanna rest?

- I'm sorry, I'm afraid we

have only one room available.

- Takatou, keep in mind,

Miss Mokomoko is here

with us as well.

- Don't worry about me, deary,

I'll hide quietly in the wall

and stay out of your hair-

- How am I supposed to

relax in here?

- Mm.

- Oh, Takatou?

[belt jingling]

Eh. [mutters]

[playful music]

Uh.

[Takatou breaths deeply]

[Tomochika grumbles]

- This trial,

I actually died 15 times,

but I finally made it.

It's time!

[message dings]

All right! Eh

[triumphant music]

100 Apology Stones?!

A guaranteed ultra-rare gacha?!

Yes! Mine!

[Lynel yells]

[triumphant music]

Will it be a weapon?!

Or a partner?!

[ringing music]

- Hey there.

- Um, what exactly is going on?

[goddess giggles]

You're the goddess that sent

me to this world, aren't you?

[goddess giggles]

Are you, maybe,

gonna be my partner?

- Oh no, sorry. I'm just here

to see how you're getting on.

- Huh?

- I updated your

random save point.

So now, no matter how many

times you die in this tower,

you'll start from here.

- You've gotta be

freakin' kidding me!

This place is way

to dangerous for that!

- Toodles.

[playful music]

[Lynel groans]

[Swordmaster] What is this?

- Many points of concern

has arisen.

[Swordmaster] Oh?

- The number of deceased

does not match

the number of souls

in the tower.

- That isn't something

we need to worry about.

The second barrier

can still easily deal

with the necessary amount.

- Yes, also, we will need

to replenish the half-demons

that were used for the

first barrier fairly soon.

- Oh.

[birds chirping]

[explosions blast]

- It isn't very nice to attack

someone out of the blue.

- You're here to recruit me

to your cause, aren't you?

- We've been instructed to k*ll

all those that go against

the recruitment.

I have to make sure I

have the right guy first,

so I'll confirm.

You are Rikuto Saitou, right?

- A magic eye,

how very annoying.

Even I have the power to

see a name, Aoi Hayanose.

[magic blasts]

- Tentacles, huh?

A Just World then.

[magic rings]

Also known as "a cruel world

where only effort

is ever rewarded."

[Rikuto gasps, yells]

[magic blasts]

[Rikuto shouts]

- [shudders]

How are able to use

the same technique as me?

- If you can do it,

obviously so can I.

Perhaps you haven't come to

realize that possibility?

- Shut up!

Eat this!

Burial Flame!

- What the hell's happening?

- "The power received

from the almighty

hand of God for free

may also be taken away

at his whim."

Perhaps this is a thing too?

- [grunts] I guess

then lucky for me,

I didn't get this from God!

- Since that sword of

his has a high luck stat,

I can't interfere using

my own ability.

[Rikuto yells]

[dramatic music]

But all I have to do is make

sure not to get hit by it.

[Rikuto grunts]

[blade slices]

[blood spurting]

[body thunks]

[sword clatters]

[dagger] Hm, what's this?

We got a message.

- Looks like our next job.

- What?

[dagger] The targets

are the Sage candidates,

Yogiri Takatou and

Tomochika Dannoura.

Head to the city of Hanabusa.

- Sage candidates, really?

Do they seriously need me

to handle those?

No time to even catch my breath.

[Hanakawa] Please wait for me!

- Huh?

[Hanakawa yells]

[footsteps screeching]

I am Daimon Hanakawa!

As I was roaming around

a super-dangerous zone

in the Forest of Beasts,

I was taken in by Rikuto

and somehow managed to live.

But since you have just k*lled

him for who knows what reason,

there's nothing I can

do around here anymore.

- What is this?

- I beg you, all-powerful woman,

please make me your

humble man-servant!

- [dagger] What a funny creature.

- I'll literally do anything!

Just don't leave me!

[light playful music]

[upbeat rock music]

[rooster crows]

[Tomochika mutters sleepily]

[Mokomoko] Tomochika!

Will you please wake up now?

Boy, this goes for you too!

Please wake up!

Oh. [shrieks]

- What are you saying?

Morning already? Huh?

[gasps]

[Takatou breathes sleepily]

[Tomochika screams]

Hey, Takatou!

- [Mokomoko shrieks]

Are you finally awake?

- Come over here, come this way!

- What are you

Please help me! I can't

move a single inch further!

[Tomochika screams]

- Miss Mokomoko!

Why are you halfway

stuck in the wall?

- Well simple, because after

the two of you went to bed,

I saw the boy suddenly

throw his arms around you,

half asleep, and I thought it

would be rude to interrupt,

so I took the hint

and tried to disappear

nice and quiet-like,

- but I was too curious

- Right

- and this is what

happened when I tried

to sneakily take a peep at you.

- Couldn't fully commit

to peeping, huh?

- It seems as if they're about

to gather all the spirits

and souls of the dead in

this tower for some reason,

so there's quite a bit of

suction in the walls and floors.

- So you're telling me you

were stuck the whole night?

- Yes! Correct!

- [Takatou grumbles sleepily]

- Ah, are you awake, boy?

Please will you do something to

help me?

- Let me see then.

Maybe I should k*ll

the suction mechanism

that's holding you.

- [screams] It's sucking me!

It's sucking me!

- We weren't together

for all that long,

but you've had an unforgettable

effect on me, dear ancestor.

[Mokomoko]

Don't abandon me so easily!

- Wait a second-

- Help!

- I'm zoning in on a target.

- Come on, boy! [screams]

[pop]

- She flew out!

- Looks like it worked, huh?

- Oh my dear, I thought I was

going to die in that wall!

- You've been dead

for a long time though.

- So scary!

But what in the world

could they be gathering

souls of the deceased for?

- There's another reason

for this trial

besides what they say,

most likely.

- Miss Dannoura

- What's up?

- I want you to steel yourself.

- You want me to what?

- Because I'm going to

outright k*ll anybody

who seems remotely

like an enemy.

- Hasn't it been like that

the whole time?

- Well, I've always done my best

to avoid k*lling unnecessarily.

But here, all participants

seem to be ready and willing.

I can't afford to hesitate.

- Way ahead of you.

I've got nerves of steel.

- Huh?

- When you use your

ability to k*ll like that,

I consider it as if I'm

the one who has done it.

I've always felt like that.

[Takatou sighs]

I'm not so rude as to complain

when you save me like that.

- You know?

- That's right.

The daughter of a warrior family

is not one to take lightly.

- Although, it'd be nice if you

could keep it all to a minimum.

[Takatou grumbles]

[gentle music]

- Um, anyways,

I'm really hungry.

I fell asleep without

eating anything.

- Oh right. Should I give

room service a call then?

- Mm-hmm.

[water burbling]

[wind blowing]

[tense music]

- Please, Mistress Aoi,

let's run away.

- Huh? Why should we?

- Correct me if I'm wrong,

but your power makes cheat

abilities ineffective.

This means you can't beat

a dragon, right?

- These kinds of things

are simpler than that.

[dragon roars]

- [Hanakawa whimpers]

- There's no way a creature

that huge can fly, is there?

[dragon roars]

[Hanakawa shudders]

"Just World" is an ability

that can change a phenomenon

to be just as I believe

it to be.

[Hanakawa] That's like

a super cheat!

- That isn't quite true.

If my opponent has a high

luck stat, I can't use it.

- Oh really? Is that so?

- Uh oh, I wouldn't get

close if I were you.

- Oh dear God!

Heal, heal me now!

[ringing magic]

[shudders] Did you only

render it unable to fly?

- Yeah.

[dragon roars]

[Hanakawa screams]

All I can do is

beat it down, huh?

[slice]

- What?!

[blood spurting]

[weapon swishes]

[upbeat music]

- What?

The Aggressor, Hedgehog.

- What's it doing? Do you

think it's gathering intel?

What are you doing?

Why are you behind me?

- Since you're so large

of a person,

it's the perfect place

to conceal myself.

- Oh yeah, just casually

insult me and call me fat.

[blood spurting]

[magic warbles]

[Aoi gasps]

[Aggressor whooshes]

So that means

we're saved, correct?

- For a split second

after that monster left,

I saw a tower.

It may be trouble, but I

think we should go there.

- There's no need for

us to do that, Mistress.

- I'm gonna need

you to be useful

and go find Yogiri Takatou.

- No, I never wanna see Lord

Takatou in my life ever again!

I'm positive he'll k*ll me.

Let me go!

Please Mistress Aoi,

don't do this!

[Tomochika]

We're halfway through now.

So far, I'd say things are

going pretty smoothly

for us, huh?

- Truthfully though, I feel

a little sorry for them.

We've gotten all the

way down here

because I've k*lled the tricks

and riddles along the way.

- Don't you think it's bad

form to cheat in a trial?

- Huh? Where'd you pop out from?

- I am the creator

of this tower,

so I have the ability to

emerge from anywhere I choose.

- Isn't that way more unfair

than what we just did?

- Do you understand

how I feel as a creator

who racked his brain to come

up with a multitude of riddles,

only to have them bypassed?

- Yeah, but we're just looking

to get out of this place.

- Impossible.

This great tower exists

for the sole purpose

of maintaining the barriers

that conceal the Dark God.

It would be a problem

if it were destroyed.

- If you let us out, I

won't mess up anything else.

- And you expect me to

just take you at your word?

Moreover, what if you

were to be used

by the spawn of the Dark God

for nefarious purposes?

- Eh, you're so

incredibly annoying.

- So I've been told,

but more importantly,

my name is Eglacia.

People of this land

call me the High Wizard.

Listen to me now. The choices

I'm going to give you are-

- Die now.

- [Tomochika shudders]

[Eglacia thunks]

- Wait a minute!

He kinda seemed like he

was some kind of VIP here.

- I had to, he was

going to k*ll us.

Let's get moving.

[Tomochika groans]

[doll 1] The division

of the mana pathway

and the first barrier around

the tower are unstable.

The door closing mechanism

and trap devices are

malfunctioning.

[Rick grunts]

[intense music]

[doll 2] Number 97, congratulations.

You have 100 points.

[Rick sighs]

[Rick grunts]

[upbeat music]

[Lynel] P-please go easy on me!

[Frederica] Those

things are an easy win.

- Mr. Lynel!

- Oh hey there,

I met you on the roof

earlier, didn't I?

- What's going on?

- What, this?

I'm just helping

him out a little,

since he hasn't got any

points whatsoever.

[warrior yells]

[Lynel grunts]

[sword clanks]

[Lynel whimpers]

- You've gotten stronger!

- [grunts] Yeah, I got

some descent equipment

from doing ten gachas straight.

[trainees grunting]

- Where are we now?

A stadium?

[fighters grunting]

[upbeat music]

The swordsmen are

fighting each other.

[fighters grunting]

- Ouch!

- You know aiming for the head

isn't a very nice thing to do!

[Theodisia gasps]

- Shiro, you can tell, right?

Her sword attacks are really

nothing all that special.

- Maybe even I can beat

her, huh, Master Masaki?

Isn't that right?

'Kay! Here I go!

[shouts]

[sword clanks]

Hey, no fair! Don't just

go and dodge my attack!

- How can she say that when

she swung like an old lady?

- If you ask me, the other

person seems clever though,

doesn't she?

But what will we do, huh?

- That really has nothing

to do with us.

And I'm not so sure that

I wanna stick around.

- Yeah, where's the exit

for this place?

- Okay great,

can you get serious now?

This isn't the time to use

your power on a disguise.

- Since you figured me out,

then there's no point

in my holding back.

- Oh wow, I see. You're

one of those half-demons.

- I'll have you all squared away

before the other

swordmasters find me.

[dramatic music]

[Theodisia yells]

[Shiro screams]

[dramatic music]

Huh?

Huh?

What?

[dramatic music]

- I can move around a lot faster

without a sword dragging

me down, you know.

[Shiro laughs]

[Tomochika] Doesn't seem like

this will end anytime soon.

- In that case

- Um, excuse me?

- What?

- Would you mind if I

get through here, please?

- Huh?

- Takatou, will you

read the room?

There's a fight to the

death unfolding right now!

- You two there,

what's your deal?

- We're not gonna

interfere with you.

So can we get through?

- No way. Why don't you

join up with us instead?

Unfortunately, my pupils

aren't gaining any points.

- There's no point in fighting.

The two of us together

have maybe-

- Six points in total.

- Then that means you've

gotta fight, don't you?

[Yogiri] We don't

wanna get any points.

- I'm enjoying the sport of

this trial like it's a game.

I'm not going to let

anybody just quit.

- And you?

- You mean me?

I don't really care

what you all do.

I'm already gathering

lots of points.

- Well then it's perfect if

we do a three-on-three, yeah?

If you beat my girls,

then I'll let you pass.

That rabbit over there is Shiro.

The big one is Geralda.

The pipsqueak is Ema.

[dramatic music]

- I'm having some major doubts

in your so-called

bargaining abilities.

What is even going on here?

This is crazy!

- That guy is the type

who's too full of himself

to listen to anyone else!

- You're having a bad time, huh?

If the other two are as good

as or better than the rabbit,

I'd say there's little

chance of us winning.

[Masaki] Ah, right,

Shiro is the weakest one.

She's built like a rock,

but her fighting is amateur.

Ema specializes in sword arts,

and Geralda in magic.

Now, I'll save the half-demon

woman and that girl for later.

Keep them alive, regardless

of their condition.

[Ema] Then I'm just

going to k*ll the boy?

[Masaki]

I've always thought that

good-looking men should die.

[group] Understood.

- Shouldn't we do something?

- Right. Die.

[bodies thunk]

[Masaki gasps]

My friend and I can

pass now, right?

[Masaki gasps]

[footsteps patter]

- [groans] You think

I'd just let you pass?

[power shimmers]

[Tomochika sighs]

- Liar.

- What?

- Hey! Hold on just a sec.

- Huh?

- You did this, didn't you?

[Tomochika mutters]

- I did.

- Then I apologize for

such a rude request

But please, will you both

help me with something?

- Um-

- Well, what now?

- Don't make me decide

this for you.

I guess we could at

least hear her out

[gentle music]
