Someone, help!

Anyone!

Please help us!

Good job, all of you.

And too bad for you.

All these orcs are under my command.

No one's coming to save you.

We have a pretty girl here.

Well then, before I sell you off,
maybe I'll enjoy you a bit...

Hello there.
My name is Arc.

I came to this otherworld hoping to
adventure going low profile, but...

Who are...

[Armor Lariat]
Armor Lariat!

For some reason,
it's not quite working out.

And with that, everything's settled!

Huh?

What are you doing, Arc?

We've finally found you, Sir Arc.

Oh, Lady Ariane, Lady Chiyome,
and Ponta.

O flames, dance around with my sword!

Water Style: Fanged Water Wolves!

They're both doing great.

Then, I'll join in too.

Lightning attribute AOE magic:

Lightning Downpour!

[Lightning Downpour]

H-Hey, Arc!

[Amulet of Lightning]

And with that, everything's settled!

"Settled" your skeleton foot!

All you did was just make you
stand out more, you know!

♪Hold love, dreams, and burning romance
close to your heart.♪

♪When the morning sun rises,
a new day begins once more♪

♪Though I walk along beautiful country roads,
I always come upon wicked deeds♪

♪How could I ever allow the tears of
the innocent to go unanswered?♪

♪Until I unleash the power
overflowing in these hands♪

The Silver Dark Knight?

The Cruel Dark Elf?

What on earth is this?!

This really hits home, Ponta.

♪Those who commit evil deserve no mercy♪

♪That's right, my heart
is overflowing with dreams♪

♪Come on, let's keep chasing it,
down this endless road♪

♪Wherever our wandering footsteps lead,♪

♪let's make flowers of smiles bloom♪

♪The journey goes on,
beyond that distant sea♪

♪Today, once again, I wander on,
wherever the wind may take me♪

Your evil deeds are over now!

Throw your weapon and surrender!

We won't let you escape!
Give up now!

Thank you for saving our daughters.

This is just a small token of
our appreciation.

Please feel free and enjoy them.

Sorry for the trouble, then.

Then, I'll gladly accept.

Hey, Arc.

Isn't this fine?
They've prepared it, so let's enjoy it.

Wow! This looks delicious!

This is the specialty of this post town,
the deep-fried armor mountain crabs.

Is this okay for you to eat
in front of everyone?

I forgot!

With such a lavish meal,
I just couldn't help myself.

This post town also has a bath.

If you'd like, feel free to take a dip.

Oh! There is a hot spring here?

Yes, it's shared by all the inns
in the post town.

Our town is the only place
around here with a bath.

It's our pride and joy.

I see.

Well then, I'll go take a bath first.

Please bring the meal to my room.

Sir Knight, would you like me
to wash your back?

No, that's fine.

Make sure no one comes near the bath
until I'm done, no exceptions.

So, where is the bath?

I'll show you the way.

What's the matter with Sir Knight?

He is just a shy one.

Yes.

This is delicious, too.

Here, please help yourself.

Thank you.

Please eat a lot.

Our presence doesn't bother you at all?

Huh?

Well, we hardly ever see
elves or beastmen around here.

I do find it a bit unusual.

I see.

You're not so different from us.

Humans come in all sorts, don't they?

This really hits home, Ponta.

Looks like Arc is still in there.

He really likes baths, doesn't he?

Lady Ariane and Lady Chiyome
are here, too.

Hey, Lady Ariane!

What's with the loud voice?

Huh?

No!

Wait!

Seriously...

Getting the men's and women's
baths wrong?

That's too much, indeed.

M-My apologies.

Anyway, Arc, weren't we supposed to go
to the spring that could cure curses?

Is it really okay to loaf around
like this?

We ended up going
in the opposite direction

from the Furyu Mountains,
where the spring is.

It's because Arc keeps taking detours
all over the place.

What can I do?

I can't just leave people in trouble.

Like taking an old woman back
to her hometown,

wiping out a g*ng of jewel thieves,

and going to rescue children who
were kidnapped by sl*ve traders.

Before we knew it,
we'd ended up out here.

Well, that's one of Arc's good points.

I'm sorry, Chiyome.
For dragging you along like this.

Right, about the spring.

You said there might be

a forgotten site of the Jinshin clan
near the spring, right?

Yes.

It's a legendary place where the Great
Founder Hanzo is said to have lived.

Looking for it is part of
Chiyome's mission, you know.

If we keep taking detours,
we'll be putting her in trouble.

That's true. My apologies.

Wow, Lady Ariane.

Your legs are so pretty and long.

Huh?

Your skin is also smooth.

Wait, Chiyome!
Where are you touching?

Here's the payback!

Well then, let's head straight ahead
to the spring from here.

Right, Ponta?

That way, we won't have any trouble
irrigating the fields either.

I wonder what's going on.

Something's been off ever since
we entered this village.

It feels like everyone's
been avoiding us.

Hurry! Come over here!

Oh! What's wrong?

Are you okay, kid?

Please, at least spare this child!

What is going on here?

Ah, he's bleeding.

Here you go.

Heal.

[Heal]
Heal.

That should do it.

It doesn't hurt!

Thank you!

No need to thank me.

B-But aren't you all...

The Silver Dark Knight
and the Cruel Dark Elf?

The Silver Dark Knight?

The Cruel Dark Elf?

What on earth is this?!

Lately, there have been a lot of
kidnapping cases by them around here.

Are they impostors of
Sir Arc and Lady Ariane?

Impostors, huh?

I thought I was keeping a low profile,
but it seems I've become quite famous.

This is not the time to
be so easygoing!

I can't forgive anyone for
impersonating me!

I was planning to head straight
to the spring,

but it seems we can't do that
anymore, right, Ponta?

So!

Where do these guys show up?

Thanks to Princess Yuriarna,
we were able to save the captured elves.

If you keep making a scary face,
you'll make the other person wary.

You have to act naturally.

Y-You're right.

Well, I can't help it.

Thanks to Princess Yuriarna of the Rhoden
Kingdom, who decided to rescue the elves,

we, who had been captured,
finally became free.

Your lines are too long,
and you're reading them flatly.

I can't help it.
I never even act.

Just pretend you didn't notice.

We beastmen were able
to escape too.

But our village is so far from here.

I wonder how we are supposed
to get back.

Chiyome? Aren't we supposed to
take them down?

There are other people who
have been captured.

Let's have them take us
to their hideout!

Somebody, help!

Wow, they're pretty good.

Not quite as good as the real thing.

Please, spare me!

Just spare my life!

Chiyome, you really are good at acting.

Because I'm a ninja.
You too, Lady Ariane.

Please forgive me!
Don't k*ll me!

An elf and a beastman.

We've got some top-notch prey here.

What? Just two of them?

We've caused quite a ruckus
around here, after all.

Not many are coming near us anymore,
since they're being careful.

Let's go, our boss is waiting.

Look at this elf's breasts!

It's irresistible!

To boot, she's wearing
revealing clothes.

Is she inviting us?

Please hold yourself back.

A female smell...
It's so addictive!

If you touch the products,
Boss is gonna give you a hard time.

Please hold yourself back.

If we put this in, your stomach
would get all clogged up.

Hey, I told you not to show your face.

If it were just your legs,
you'd be a real stunner, though.

Sorry, I didn't bring replacement shoes.

My legs might be better
than the real thing.

Please hold yourself back!

[Episode 1] [A Deadly Showdown?
The Silver Knight vs. the Silver Knight!]

[The Grand Duchy of Limbult]

Yuriarna.

Are you really going to meet Sekt?

Yes, Sister Seriarna.

Are you going to be okay?
Isn't the place dangerous?

I have the support of Lord Fangas,
the Great Elder of the Elves.

Brother shouldn't be able
to interfere either.

I'm going to probe his intentions.

Sit down!

So these two are today's catch?

Yes.

It's about time for the customer
to come here.

With this many products for sale,
it should be enough.

Today's catch is really exceptional.

They are a beastman and an elf.

A beastman and an elf... Huh?

A-Aren't you...

The perverted lord's son?!

Y-You all...

The Silver Knight and the Elf Woman?!

No way!
- The real deal?!

Lady Ariane!

You're late!

All right, looks like we've successfully
infiltrated the kidnappers' hideout.

Could be the guy over there,
my impostor?

Ponta, does he really look like me?

Come to think of it,
where's Lady Ariane's impostor?

Don't ask that!

What are you doing?
Attack them! Now!

Yes, sir!

Lady Chiyome! Lady Ariane!

Yeah!

Let's give them the punishment
they deserve!

You b*tch!

Such a waste.

If you'd just behaved yourself,
I would've taken good care of you.

Wha...

O flames, become my sword
and pierce through the enemy!

Whose legs are prettier than
the real thing?

You're not bad.

But still, you don't look like me.

I will show you
the power of the real deal.

Wyvern Slash!

[Wyvern Slash]
Wyvern Slash!

Wait!

Chiyome, could you free the people?

Leave it to me!

Arc, let's chase after him!

Yeah!

You are safe now.

Let's get out of here!

There he is!

This good-for-nothing lord's son
just never learns.

Whose son?

Ah, I knew I'd seen you before.
You're from that time.

Don't think I'm the same guy
I used to be.

I led you here on purpose
so that I can beat you two.

What?

What's wrong, Ponta?

Come forth, Demon Beast Army!

No way, aren't those?

Goblins!

As expected, goblins!

Even a goblin lord...

Fantasy rocks!

[Goblin, Ecological Information]
Goblin.

They dwell in groups in
forests and caves,

reproduce rapidly,

and even kidnap human women to
force them to bear their children.

Individually, they aren't particularly
strong, but they're ferocious.

When they attack in a pack,
they're a real nuisance.

You know very well, don't you?

It's time to avenge Papa!

Go and k*ll them!

This is not the time to be excited.

There are so many of them!

How is he able to control
these goblins?

Like I said,
I'm not the same as before!

I've obtained power!

Take this!

I'm sorry!

There's no end to them.

So this one is the leader of the pack.

Here goes.

I will finish this with
an intermediate-range magic.

Rock Fang!

[Rock Fang]

W-wait! Don't use earth magic here!

What the heck?!

[Holy Protection]

We're still alive.

And with that, everything's settled!

"Settled" your skeleton foot!

Come on, walk!

According to them,
there are merchants from abroad

who will pay higher prices for
humans, elves, and beastmen.

Abroad? Which country is this?

Apparently, even he doesn't know.

But how was he able to
control the goblins?

Commanding demon beasts isn't
something just anyone can do.

It seems those foreign merchants were
the ones who lent him those goblins.

It wasn't because he had learned
some arte or anything.

They obeyed his commands
from the very beginning.

Now that you mention it.

The man who was attacking
the girls in the post town

was also controlling the orcs.

There might be some connection.

Now then, work for the sake of God.

I'll return to the village for a while
to look for the information about them.

I leave it to you, Chiyome.

Oh well, it seems we ended up
taking detours.

Now, let's go to the
Furyu Mountains,

where the spring that
could cure curses is.

Hey, Arc...

Yes?

Since we've come this far...

I want to stop by a certain place.

A certain place?

♪"I wanted to become stronger."♪

♪A promise, memories, wrapped in the wind♪

♪It's okay, you're not alone anymore♪

♪The rain merely brushed across my cheeks♪
