01x05 - What a Life Is Worth

[bunniefuu]

Hoshi, sh**t!

Rebound!

Out!

Why?

I hate PE classes.

It's the doctor's orders and besides,

my grades are always still the worst.

Due to my condition, I always

have the worst grades in my class.

That's why I must find

my self-identity elsewhere.

I want to develop a drug

to cure the illness that mom and I have.

Doctor of Pharmacy studies

last at least six years.

Besides, we can't afford

to pay for a private university.

There's a scholarship.

I'll work hard for it!

But you have to work even harder

than you already do to get in.

I know.

Go for it, Kusue.

Yes.

However

"Wind!"

However

Oh no!

Everyone has been taken out?

Don't go out!

They won't find us here.

There are more down here! k*ll them!

But, one day

The warriors! We found the three warriors!

That's too violent.

Meaningless violence

has become my most important

survival skill.

Hey! Have you checked the shed over there?

Collect all the valuables

before burning them.

This looks good.

I'll take it.

We'll split everything evenly,

hand it over.

I feel as if my world is crumbling

under my feet.

Not to mention self-identity,

even the premises of survival

have changed.

The premises of peace and stability

I

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

It's about time to rest the horses.

Let's camp around here.

Okay. It's getting dark.

It's delicious.

Yes, it's really delicious.

Thank you.

You still don't have any appetite?

I took a bite.

That was a scary sight to behold.

Yes.

What happened back then

has been stuck in my head.

Don't worry about having no appetite.

We don't really get hungry in this world.

I

I want to protect everyone.

I want to protect my partners

and the people in this world.

But I can't even protect myself.

All I do is hold you back.

Kusue

Maybe I can't do it at all.

I still feel bad about letting a warrior

cook for us.

Don't. I'm pretty good at cooking.

I'm sure he's only after

the experience points.

Once I reached level 10, I could retrieve

woks and other cooking utensils.

Level?

Yotsuya doesn't seem to be troubled by it

at all.

True.

Anyway, if a strong person works hard

to level up from the beginning,

he could get everything.

Warrior.

Do you want a refill?

It's about time to start training.

Training

You said that she trained you, right?

Yes.

Even when she went easy on me,

I only won 3 out of 100 fights we had.

Once, she went all out

and she had to try really hard

to kick my a*s without k*lling me.

It was like living hell.

"Try really hard without k*lling you"?

So, when you came to save us

Please let me teach you sword fighting.

Fighting with the warriors

means that I can swing my sword

without mercy.

Well

No, but if this is the only option,

so be it.

Great! This means I can

hack at flesh as I wish!

I'm going to tell my dad!

Seeing her so thrilled

I was really worried.

We'll start with you then.

Are you serious?

I'll start attacking in five seconds.

Okay.

What I love to do

is to tear apart living flesh!

What's wrong with this person?

She's beautiful but her personality

is quite the opposite.

Are you all right, Yuka?

It's terrible.

Even though the feeling of pain

is only 1/36 of that in the real world,

it still hurts a lot.

Well, next is

She can't even lift a long sword.

This will take some time.

The modern day Japan I grew up in

has been peaceful and stable.

What's wrong?

We were attacked by Goblins

when collecting firewood. Makua, he

I was too careless.

You got hurt by mere Goblins.

How are you fit to be my subordinate?

I'm extremely sorry.

Everything I know has collapsed

in this alternate world.

My wounds are healing.

You can also use healing magic now?

By accelerating the cells' metabolism,

the wounds will heal faster.

So, the healing won't surpass

a person's regenerating ability.

It's the same with cooking.

You can gain experience without fighting.

Isn't that cheating?

Go complain to the system

if you disagree with it.

The system

We can't escape the rules

that the system forced on us.

I want to protect everyone.

For that, I must acquire experience

and become stronger.

You're moving faster now.

But it'll still take some time

before you can swing the long sword.

I must obtain experience.

We have spotted a group of Goblins.

Should we make a detour?

No, it's faster to eliminate them.

No.

We'll take care of it.

We've been training,

but we've not gained experience so far.

It's true.

He's been earning experience by using

healing magic. So much for saying that.

And you, Kusue?

No pressure.

Okay. Let's get some experience points!

Long swords are not necessary

to fight monsters like Goblins.

But I'm still worried.

"Fire."

"Wind."

Warrior!

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry, so sorry

I'm sorry!

YOTSUYA YUSUKE

LEVEL FIVE TO SIX

I've been working so hard,

but I'm not upgraded by much.

It's because your level

is higher than all of us.

Kusue, I heard that you defeated a Goblin.

Yes, sort of.

You finally made it.

I can still feel it in my hands.

That feeling, so soft.

I'm so happy that the inner swordswoman

has awaken in her.

But

Yes?

It's a shame that I didn't get to cut into

the Goblins' flesh with my own hands.

Well

Why do you enjoy cutting into

live bodies so much?

Good question.

There are so many perks of live bodies.

First of all, the toughness of the muscle.

Muscles used in combat

are sliced up layer by layer

by the tip of a knife.

The feeling of a muscle

gradually turning into dead flesh

That is

what happens in a sheer moment

when you swing the sword.

Moreover, that feeling in your hands

It's amazing!

Anyway, there might still be

some Goblins wandering around.

I'll go make a round.

Bimzberg, Makua!

Yes.

It's great if

I get to cut into some flesh!

According to Ms. Kahabell's father,

when he was teaching sword fighting

to her brother,

she heard him say "fighting a living being

is the best way to gain experience."

Yet she interpreted it

completely differently.

I guess, that's misthinking.

Something kids do.

"Misthinking?"

It's like mishearing,

but the brain version.

What does that mean?

I'm sorry.

But I

I want to protect everyone.

I have to stay alive.

I want to realize my dream.

Therefore, I must

Be brave and take lives.

THREAT LEVEL: COOK'S KNOWLEDGE OF

THE MONSTERS' THREAT LEVELS (G TO S)

THE THREAT LEVELS ARE SET ACCORDING TO

A REGULAR SOLDIER'S ABILITY

A SOLDIER IN TRAINING IS LEVEL F,

11 TO 50 SOLDIERS EQUALS A LEVEL C MONSTER

LEVEL S MONSTERS CAN'T BE DEFEATED EVEN BY

AN INFINITE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS

What's wrong?

Calm down.

Gosh!

Did we miss something?

It's completely stuck.

We almost broke it.

Is everyone all right?

Yes.

That was scary.

Bimzberg.

I'll handle this.

I'll help.

Let's go!

One, two, three!

It's coming up a bit.

Steady.

Okay.

Warrior, just a bit more.

Great, we got it out!

That was fun.

True.

All right, let's get going.

Understood.

EXPLORE 5% OF THE MAP (NOW 1.76 %)

DELIVER THE CARGO TO RADORPO

Time remaining: 5 hours and 15 days.

It's really tight.

Ms. Kahabell,

there seems to be something in front.

An army is attacked by monsters.

Whose army is it?

There are also some civilians

and children.

We must save them!

Are you serious?

I don't know if we have enough time.

It's better not to take a detour.

Let me out,

I'll go by myself.

Wait, Kusue. Calm down.

Don't you want to return alive?

The goal is to clear the stage, and you

I'm sorry.

But I've said this.

What?

Humans are not saved

simply by being kept alive.

In my opinion,

if we don't even save children,

nothing else matters.

So,

I can't do that.

What?

Is she trying to say "life is meaningless

if you turn your back on kids in need"?

Is she trying to be a hero?

On the other hand, she's right.

This might be an interesting event.

Event?

Is it a trial from the game master?

For instance, that group

might also be heading to Radorpo.

Very well, let's split up into two groups.

Hakozaki and I will go to save them.

The others, please carry on

with the journey.

We're splitting up?

We'll be quick

and return as soon as possible.

Will this do?

Yes.

But, they are almost wiped out!

What?

They have turned around!

Is it because of

the warrior's characteristics?

Mary Cobalt, Cobalt family.

Threat level, E minus, it's more powerful

than a regular soldier.

That means,

it's more powerful

than the both of us combined.

Are they

Warriors?

We'll stall them,

please attack from behind.

Understood!

KITE SHIELD, SHORT SWORD

No way

We're weaker and outnumbered.

They also attack in packs.

Look behind you!

It's not working!

Is it because of the language barrier?

It's not over yet!

It's over

Back-stab!

Why am I here?

It's meaningless if I can't fight.

It's meaningless

if I need to be protected.

LONG SWORD

Summoning the long sword

when the enemies let their guards down.

Since it's all in a split second,

the long sword isn't held up for long.

That's k*lling two birds with one stone.

Hakozaki, her personality has changed.

Whatever, anyway

There's one left.

Okay.

Hey! Over here!

Warrior!

Such a great slab of meat.

What's going on?

They must be shy with strangers?

Soldiers and civilians combined,

there is a total of

3, 4, 5, 6 survivors.

They are also wounded.

Will they be all right?

Yes, I think so.

I just absorbed some magic

from the monster's blood to refill my MP.

Is that possible?

I heard that a bandit

turned into a Berserker

by ingesting too much monsters' meat.

So I thought,

we should be able to absorb magic.

You could have told us sooner.

No, this is also the first time

I've tried it.

Warriors.

Thank you very much.

We're very grateful.

You're welcome.

Who are you?

Where are you going?

We're soldiers from the Deock Empire.

We have an order from the King

to transfer the pagans to Radorpo.

QUES

EXPLORE 5% OF THE MAP

DELIVER THE CARGO TO RADORPO

They have violated the ban

on the Altros religion.

So they must be ex*cuted

on the hills of Radorpo,

where most of

the Altros followers are hidden.

Radorpo, it's happening!

The cargo is unknown.

Is it human beings? Death row prisoners?

Pagan, children, what's this?

The cargo is those people?

But, if we deliver them there,

these people and that child

will all be k*lled.

Attacks against humans detected,

rank down.

Will it be fine if our actions

result in the death of humans?

Is this event part of the quest,

or is it a trap that will eliminate us?

Which one

is it?

Now, now, now

How can I become stronger

The reason why I always feel lost

Must share the same wishes

Even though all the "ifs" come true

I won't be me again

Write down your dream and my name

On the beach with an hour hand

It'll disappear soon

Even so, I want to be me for once
