01x01 - The Boy Forgotten By the World

[bunniefuu]

Is she an angel?

Or a demon?

Who are you?

Help me.

Please free me from these chains.

Is she

asking for help from a human?

Impossible.

The other races and humans

once had a tragic w*r.

That's the history I know.

It's supposed to be that way.

Why does nobody

remember the original world?

Is Kai not done yet?

The surveillance time for Crypts

is 300 seconds, right?

I told you to wait.

Besides, there's no way

Kai would give up halfway.

My goodness.

This is enough surveillance, right?

No, it's not.

The Demonic Race

who can manipulate powerful mana.

The Wild God Race of all demi-humans

including angels and elves.

The Spirit Race who possesses

special bodies like ghosts.

The Phantom Beast Race

of all colossal beasts

with dragons at the helm.

The w*r between

these four races and humans,

The Five Races Great w*r.

We can't allow a second w*r to break out.

Therefore, we, the Urza Federation,

have a duty to watch over this Crypt

where demons are sealed.

Three hundred seconds.

No anomaly at the Crypt.

The demons are sealed as usual.

He's always so serious.

What's wrong with that?

Thanks to that, you and I can relax.

Hey, Kai.

Has a sealed demon ever escaped

from the Crypt in the past 100 years?

No.

It's our job

at the Humanity Protection Agency

to make sure it never happens.

That's true.

But there are four Crypts in this world.

It's pointless if we're the only ones

working hard, right?

I'm sure the other three Crypt watchers

are working hard too.

If the demons escape,

it'll be a disaster.

Well, you're right.

Come on, Kai.

No demons have ever escaped.

The world is peaceful, isn't it?

I get that.

But I don't want to lower my guard.

Because watching Crypts

is my duty.

URZA FEDERATION

VISHAL

HUMANITY PROTECTION AGENCY

VISHAL BRANCH

Warning.

Private Kai Sakura Vento.

Using a Phantom Beast-type

machine doll for combat training

is extremely dangerous.

Didn't work?

Danger!

Halt signal confirmed.

Disengage Dragon-type

Phantom Beast hologram.

The system already warned you,

but you're still so reckless.

You'll get seriously injured one day.

If I don't push myself,

there's no point in training.

If you were born during the Great w*r,

your name would go down in history.

Like Prophet Sid?

That'd be an honor,

but I'm no match for him.

Prophet Sid?

I still can't imagine

a human defeating the four heroes.

Hero of the Demonic Race,

The Dark Empress Vanessa.

Hero of the Wild God Race,

The Lord of Heaven Alfreya.

Hero of the Spirit Race,

The Spirit Sovereign Rikugen Kyoko.

Hero of the Phantom Beast Race,

The Fang Emperor Rath=IE.

Just imagine if they existed today

Prophet Sid defeated the four heroes

with the shining sword

bestowed by the God of Prophecy,

Asurasoraka.

We don't even know if Prophet Sid

or the shining sword really existed.

Unlike the heroes of the four races,

there isn't any footage or photos of them.

That's true.

Still, it won't hurt to hope

such an important person existed, right?

It hurts.

Cut it out, Ashran.

How long are you going to lie down?

What are you two

going to give Jeanne for her promotion?

A bouquet of flowers will do, right?

Listen up.

Jeanne is being deployed to HQ

in the royal capital, Urzakk.

At the age of 17, she's the youngest

person ever to be promoted to HQ.

She's an elite within elites.

I'm sure she's already

received a lot of flowers.

As her batchmates,

can we give such an ordinary gift?

A text from Jeanne?

Tomorrow at 10:00,

meet up in front

of the cat statue at Main Station 9?

Remember to keep this

a secret from Saki and Ashran.

This is

I made a mistake.

It's not from Jeanne.

Kai, don't tell me you're in

a secret relationship with Jeanne.

If you're willing to lie like that,

this message must be special, right?

I'm going for a run.

Hey, wait!

Someone, catch Kai!

He plans to do

unspeakable things with Jeanne!

It's not what you think!

Kai,

sorry to keep you waiting.

You're quite on time.

I thought I'd have to wait another hour.

How rude.

I'm going to Urzakk next week.

I have got to be punctual.

By the way,

you're off-duty today, right?

Why are you fully equipped?

I went for self-training this morning.

I came here after that.

You're probably the only one

who can go shopping with me

and play it cool.

Who else have you gone shopping with?

Nobody.

That was sarcasm.

I'm kidding.

Actually, that's what I like about you.

By the way, why are you shopping today?

I want to give Saki and Ashran a present.

What?

Including you,

the three of you are planning

to give me a present, right?

Should you be asking me that?

Before I go to Urzakk,

I want to gift you something too.

After all,

that will be the last time I'll see them.

The last time?

You're overreacting.

The deployment takes two years at most.

You'll return as a candidate

for executives in no time.

But by then, they'll be discharged

and return to civilian life.

I think it's just me and you

who'll stay at the Agency

after two years, right?

Maybe.

Don't make that face.

Didn't you want to surpass your dad,

the chief of Urza HQ?

You've said it dozens of times

since we were kids.

There's no way I don't know your goal.

You're missing a digit.

It's hundreds of times, right?

Thank you for shopping with me.

Thanks to you, I got some nice presents.

I'm glad to hear that.

I think it was when you were around ten

You said you stumbled

upon a Crypt of demons.

Yes.

Your father was going for an inspection,

so I asked him to bring me along.

You surprised me

when you said you saw

Sid's sword after you came back.

Yes.

But no one believed me,

so I didn't tell anyone.

But that's when you started saying,

"It's my duty to watch over the Crypt,

so the demons can't get out."

That's how I still feel now.

That's right.

That's why you're willing

to stay at the Agency after two years.

Say, Kai.

What do you think

will happen to us in the future?

In the future?

You'll be back in two years, right?

No.

I mean after that.

Kai.

What if I

What?

What?

Jeanne!

-Jeanne!

-Why do you keep calling me?

Am I the only one who can see

this phenomenon?

Well, you're calling my name

in front of so many people.

Does that mean

I can get my hopes slightly up?

Jeanne!

Commencing World Rebirth.

Executing world overwrite.

This place

What the heck happened here?

Is someone there?

A demon?

Human.

That's magic.

Disappear.

Is that a real demon?

The magic is dispersed?

Elf b*llet.

It's a b*llet that mimics

the elven magic tool.

Burn!

It's a Drake b*llet that replicates

the breath of a Phantom Beast.

This is my first real battle.

But my body can move

according to my training.

My equipment and myself

are strong enough to fight demons.

Who are you?

A human?

My fellow demon

lost to a human?

You're pretty fluent in human language.

I need to order sl*ves around.

Using their language

is the most effective.

Did you say sl*ves?

Human.

There's a dangerous scent about you.

Begone.

Close your eyes!

Go!

Wanderer secured.

We are heading back to base now.

Hey, you.

Where are you from?

Saki?

How do you know my name?

What are you talking about?

It's me, Kai.

Kai?

Have you heard of the name Kai?

Ashran.

You're Ashran, right?

I'm sorry.

Have we met before?

Hey, are you all right?

He must be confused

because he was attacked by demons.

Don't you two remember me?

Weren't we

in the same squad

at the Humanity Protection Agency?

Humanity Protection Agency?

We're soldiers in the Resistance.

Resistance?

You don't even know that?

What is that?

It's the Humanity Resistance Army.

I can't believe

you don't even know the Resistance.

I'm sorry.

I really have no idea.

Can you tell me

what happened in this world?

There was a w*r

called the Five Races Great w*r.

Humans lost in the end.

Humans lost?

That was 30 years ago.

Cities and territories all over the world

were taken over by the other four races.

So, what happened to humans?

Are they okay?

We hid in the nick of time.

This is Vishal, right?

You still remember the name.

Yes.

The four races now rule

the world continent,

but they are still fighting for territory.

Since demons

have taken over the Urza Federation,

humanity had no choice

but to abandon the cities and escape.

Welcome

to the Human City, Neo Vishal.

I want that.

We've transformed

the undamaged subterranean space

into an underground city.

It's quite spectacular, isn't it?

The forces that protect humanity

and fight against the four races

are us, the Humanity Resistance Army.

What's the matter?

Well

Why did the humans lose the Great w*r?

Why do you ask?

Didn't you see the demons just now?

They'd come at us in hordes.

There's no way a human can beat them.

That's right.

And each of them

has a leader called a hero.

They're unbelievably strong.

What about Prophet Sid?

Prophet Sid?

Who's that?

You really don't know?

There should be a hero among the humans

who defeated the other four races.

If there was such a hero,

we wouldn't have

to live underground like this.

Looks like the main unit has arrived.

Main unit?

Apart from this place,

there are several Human Cities.

There are Resistance garrisons

stationed at each city.

And the main unit leads each garrison.

The commander of the Resistance

is the savior of the residents

of Urza Federation.

It's the commander!

-He has returned!

-Lord Jeanne!

-Lord Jeanne!

-Welcome back!

Lord Jeanne is such a handsome guy.

Jeanne!

Lord Jeanne, welcome back!

There are no abnormalities in Vishal.

We'll continue our best

to maintain security.

Good work.

Thank you for your arduous efforts.

Who is this?

I haven't seen him before.

We found him on the surface.

His name is Kai.

It's just that his memory

seems to be a bit muddled.

But I don't think he's a bad person.

Please be at ease, Lord Jeanne.

Understood. I shall take my leave.

Wait, Jeanne!

It's me, Kai!

Didn't you go shopping with me just now?

You said you wanted to give

Saki and Ashran a present

before you go to Urzakk!

What do you mean?

I think you've mistaken me

for someone else.

Do you really not remember me?

Excuse me.

I have a meeting later,

so I must take my leave.

What's with that outfit?

Why are you pretending to be a man?

Didn't you say you wanted to

surpass your dad as his daughter?

Yet you're

What are you trying to do to Lord Jeanne?

That's enough, Falin. Let him go.

Hang on, Kai. What are you doing?

-Let's call it a day.

-What's with him?

-You can use my room.

-How insolent.

What's going on?

No matter how much I read,

I can't find any records

of me and Prophet Sid.

Is this a time without Sid

and when humans

were defeated in the Great w*r?

Hold on!

If Sid didn't exist

and humanity

was defeated in the Great w*r

Why?

The Crypts used to seal off

the other four races still exist.

Crypts?

What's that? I've never heard of it.

I see. Thank you.

Ashran, can I borrow your car?

I'll be back before noon.

Sure.

Here, catch.

Thank you.

Hey, Ashran.

What?

It's as if my body

instinctively gave it to him.

Do demons patrol the city regularly?

This is the first time

I've come here alone.

The sealing stone has been opened.

There's a path leading inside.

In that case, what lies ahead is

That's

Sid's sword.

The legend of Sid

really does exist.

To the one caught in this cruel fate,

do not let go of this sword.

Do not let go of the world coordinate key,

Code Holder.

Code Holder?

Is anyone there?

Please

save me.

This isn't a Crypt.

That's

A girl?

Is she an angel?

Or a demon?

Who are you?

Help me.

Please free me

from these chains.
