Hmm.

[FEMALE ANGEL 1A] Lady Nolyn,

this young man of yours

is really impressive.

He's reached rank A

in a matter of three months.

Good thing.

Because Sidonia will make

their next move soon.

[ELIZABETH] Wonderful heroes,

your destiny awaits.

So, rejoice.

All the nations

of the continent

will come to know who you are.

Oh, about time.

You can say that again.

Let's do this.

It's time to save

the world, right?

It's been a long wait.

But that's all the more reason

to give you

a grand introduction now.

Wouldn't you agree?

All right, let's give them

that "introduction."

They'll find out

what a hero truly is.

What's wrong, Akane?

Doesn't seem like

you're into this.

Are you kidding me?

Making our debut as heroes.

That sounds amazing.

[HOMER] Then I trust you'll be

accompanying the other two?

Yes, gladly.

of the village

like this before.

A Bush Lizard?

I think the monsters

are growing stronger, Master.

[TAKUMI] What do you mean

they're growing stronger?

exterminating them,

I can tag along!

I'd be happy to come too.

No need.

I'll be all right.

They're still no match for me.

It's just the growing

level of strength concerns me.

Also, we're starting to see

monsters we've never seen.

Yeah, like that lizard

we saw today.

[SOFIA] I believe monsters

from nearby habitats

have started migrating

towards the village.

[TAKUMI]

Why would they do that?

-[growls]

-[SOFIA] This is only a hunch,

but I think it has something

to do with that

strange fluctuation of mana.

At the very least,

I think we can assume

it's had an effect of some

Rumor?

I don't get it.

If the heroes were

that could be a positive

Yeah, kind of like a good omen.

What if the Goddess

sent them to correct

Sidonia's misguided policies

and we're all sitting around

getting worked up for nothing?

[TAKUMI]

No way.

She didn't send them

to Sidonia.

They used forbidden magic

and summoned the heroes

themselves.

All right, then, Maria,

I hope you're right about this.

Maybe they are good people

that were sent

to correct Sidonia's

past mistakes.

Go forth, heroes,

and make your people proud!

BOLTON,

ADVENTURER'S GUILD

[HANS] There are

three heroes in total.

Two young men

All of them have black hair

Black hair and eyes?

are they Japanese like me?

[HANS]their Churches

The churches?

Yep, but from what I hear

it's just a cover

and they're targeting nations

with Church

of Creation believers.

If you want my opinion,

they're trying to apply

a little

silent pressure on them.

Well, let's get down to it.

The reason you're here

is the Papek Company

requested the Wings of Nolyn

to guard

and escort them to the capital.

If it's Papek who's asking

for us then we can't refuse.

Would you mind taking me

with you as well?

I don't know.

It's an escort mission.

I can't guarantee

we won't come across

any monsters.

Could be dangerous.

But, staying behind

by myself at the mansion

while you all go off together

just sounds so lonely.

It certainly would be.

Maria?

Leaving her alone here

at the mansion,

when she's only just arrived,

I'm sorry, Master,

but that seems quite

unreasonable.

I think we all understand

how Mani feels.

I won't be a burden!

everyone give me

the cute little puppy dog eyes?

Oh, all right.

You can come,

training from Maria or Reyva.

regret this master!

Tomorrow we'll go

and get you registered.

Thank you, I can't wait!

Can't you add a suspension

on here or something?

are really annoying!

Luckily, there's already

carriages with suspensions

and Romalia.

Oh, yeah.

Is it true that

the capital of Barcula

has a lot of good

looking elves?

Think we can bring

a few back home?

[YAMATO]

That's a great idea.

Mr. Akira, I'm afraid

Barcula has forbidden

the removal of sl*ves

from their country.

Come on. The heroes

just want to have fun.

They should be thrilled that

we want them to come with us.

I know.

We are first-rate adventurers

Thanks for your help.

Iruma Takumi,

I'm just going

to come out and ask.

You're the descendant

of the Japanese person

who was summoned here, right?

Sorry,

but I can't let that info--

I won't tell anyone!

All right, fine, I'm Japanese.

Really?

But your face is.

I'm Japanese, just like you.

Guess it's time to talk

about the reason I'm here.

Which involves all of you.

Master, what do you mean?

I'm not understanding.

I don't see any reason

to hide it anymore.

What I'm about to tell you,

Akane and her sl*ve are gone?

Figured.

I thought she was acting

a little suspicious

from the moment

we left Sidonia.

At any rate, I highly suggest

we cancel our planned visit

to Romalia

and return to Sidonia.

We can review our plan

at a later date, I suppose.

No way.

I can't believe it.

You're saying that you came

from the same world

as the heroes, master?

Mm.

And you're here on the wishes

of Lady Nolyn, too?

Wait a minute, so you're

an emissary from Lady Nolyn!

Uh, guess so.

Wow, you're all taking this

a lot easier than I thought.

[MANI] That means

the Holy Empire of Sidonia's

the villain here.

[SOFIA] A summoning spell

that caused

such a drastic fluctuation

of mana

that might have a detrimental

effect on this world.

[TAKUMI]

Yeah, I know.

When I first got here,

I found a place for myself.

I just wanted to live

a quiet life as a producer,

but I can't.

Sidonia's hero summoning

poses a problem.

[SOFIA] Do you think

they're planning to go

to w*r with the other nations?

It's possible.

But even

if they are the heroes,

I'd highly doubt they can

wage a w*r on their own.

[SOFIA] Perhaps, they'll be

used to incite the masses?

[TAKUMI] Right.

That's the logical answer.

Though if that causes

the influence

of the Church of Divine Light

to spread then

it puts us in an even

more precarious position.

[AKANE]

I got you involved, I'm sorry.

Now listen, the both of us

were dragged into this, okay?

So anyway, tell me,

who were those

two guys earlier?

My friends at first.

Akira and Yamato

were different then.

But ever since we came here,

they started to change,

in the worst way possible.

Do you think something

was done to them?

So, what did you all

do for sustenance?

I cast a purification spell

on everything I ate and drank.

And I'm glad I did

because I didn't trust Sidonia

from the very beginning.

But those two, they prioritized

their swordsmanship.

In the process,

they slacked off on raising

their light magic skills.

I see, then it's possible

they drugged

their food and drinks,

in an effort to brainwash

the heroes.

Mr. Takumi,

save me and Lulu, please?

you don't have to kneel to me.

I've been waiting so long

for a chance to escape!

What do you plan on doing?

They will hunt you down.
